Chapter 13 The First Hearing of Gao Shun
Click, click, click!
The sound of horses' hooves mingled with the sound of wheels turning and the ground rubbing against each other, and a horse-drawn carriage drove slowly down the bustling wide street towards a pharmacy in the troubled district, driven by a handsome young man with a sword on his back.
Leaving the slum with a flat wooden house structure, half an hour later, Zhao Yun and his party drove to Dongcheng, where the rich are concentrated and there are many high-rise buildings.
Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.
The gap between the rich and the poor in Zhending County is still very large, which is a bad thing, but it is also a good thing, there is a gap between the rich and the poor, it means that there is greed for ink, there is oppression, but if there is no gap between the rich and the poor, it represents a pool of stagnant water, there is no progress, and those who work hard cannot get due returns.
"Young master, let me drive." The curtain was lifted, revealing Liu Yin's resolute face.
"It's okay, it's almost there, you can take care of Ling Tang in the car."
One in the car is Liu's mother, the other is a young girl, let Liu Yin drive, he Zhao Yun will be uncomfortable in the car, so Zhao Yun volunteered to take over the task of driving.
Huisheng Medicine Hall is located in the most prosperous downtown area of Zhending County, and there are many branches in the county, which belong to the industry of Zhaojiazhuang.
"Second Young Master!? Shopkeeper, the second young master is here! A sharp-eyed apprentice saw Zhao Yun driving the carriage straight from a distance, recognized it at a glance, shouted to the lobby, and galloped over to lead the horse.
Zhao Yun asked someone to carry Liu Mu in the carriage into the inner room, and asked the sharp-eyed apprentice to find Zhao Bo, before entering the medicine hall with a small box.
"Chen De has seen the second young master!"
"Shopkeeper Chen, what's going on?"
Before he entered the door, Zhao Yun found that the outside of the Huisheng Medicine Hall was usually full of people queuing up to grab the medicine, but today it was very rare, and it was even more obvious when he entered the medicine hall, which was very abnormal.
Chen's real name is Chen De, nearly fifty years old, slightly chubby, slightly squinted eyes are kind, and the two strokes make him look very shrewd, superb medical skills, and very loyal to Zhaojiazhuang.
"Second Young Master, please move to the inner hall to speak," Chen De made a gesture to the inner hall and said in his mouth, "If you want to talk about it, the words will be long." ”
At this time, Liu Yin, who had settled Liu's mother, also came over and entered the inner hall with Chen De with Zhao Yun.
After entering the inner hall, the three of them sat down in different places, and Liu Yin originally wanted to stand behind Zhao Yun, but at Zhao Yun's signal, he also sat down.
Zhao Yun opened his mouth and said: "Shopkeeper Chen, since the story is long, then you can make a long story short." ”
"Yes, the old man knows." In ancient times, men were thirty, and after the year of their establishment, there were many people who called themselves old husbands, although Chen De was only in his forties and less than fifty, it was normal for him to call himself an old man.
"Speaking of which, this matter is actually related to the Fan family," Chen De looked at Zhao Yun's face, and didn't see the slightest abnormality, before he continued, "This has to start before the Fan family withdraws from the marriage." ”
"On the same day, the old head of the Fan family was seriously ill and died, and the eldest son Fan Li succeeded to the throne, and then it was rumored in the Fan Mansion that the old man of the Fan family died because he took the fake medicine from my Huisheng Medicine Hall."
"Then, the Fan family went to my Zhaojiazhuang the next day to withdraw from the marriage, which made people who didn't know what they knew believe that the old man Fan died after taking the medicine from our Huisheng Medicine Hall, so he made a move to withdraw from the marriage."
"The three of them became tigers, and all of them were golden, and in the next few days, under the instigation of people with intentions, the people who believed that it was true did not dare to come to our pharmacy to buy medicine, and now you can still see that they are basically frequent visitors to our pharmacy."
After Chen De finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed, it was not a day or two before the Huisheng Medicine Hall benefited Zhending, it could be said that it was well-known before the accident, but I didn't expect that a rumor that had not yet been determined would be defeated, how ridiculous.
Zhao Yunjian frowned slightly, the Fan family, it turned out that it was related to the Fan family, this matter damaged the reputation of Zhao Jiazhuang, and it needed to be resolved as soon as possible.
After listening to Chen De's narration, Zhao Yun already understood what the situation was, in the previous life, he remembered that there was such an episode, but at that time he had not been out of the village during that time, basically isolated from the world, and he didn't expect that this incident would have such a big impact on Zhaojiazhuang.
Zhao Yun remembered that after investigation, the real reason was that Fan Li wanted to sit on the position of the head of the family as soon as possible in order to deal with himself, and privately tampered with the dosage of the prescription, which caused the death of the old family master Fan.
Next, Zhao Yun asked Chen De about the relevant situation, and then asked Chen De about the recent events in the Zhending range, wanting to get the information he needed from it, but unfortunately he didn't get anything.

"Second Young Master, Uncle De, Xiao Hai has brought back Young Master Bo, and he is waiting outside the door now."
There was a knock on the door, and a rough voice came in from outside the door, after all, Zhao Bo was a disciple of the Great Elder Zhao Wouji, and the people would also call him 'Young Master Bo'.
With Zhao Yun here, Chen Dezi would not overstep his authority, and did not speak back without authorization, but looked at Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun understood, nodded, and raised his voice: "Come in!" ”
"Yes!"
After responding, the wooden door opened, and two people came in from outside the door, one of them was Zhao Bo that Zhao Yun was looking for, and the other person was not Xiao Hai who was looking for Zhao Bo, but a rough man that Zhao Yun had never seen before.
Zhao Yun asked, "Shopkeeper Chen, who is this?" ”
Chen De naturally knew who Zhao Yun was asking, and replied: "Second young master, he is the junior of my Chen family, named Chen Jiang, who just came from his hometown in Yuzhou to learn medicinal materials and do business with the old man. ”
"I've learned some tricks at home, but don't look at his five big and three rough appearance, he has a very flexible brain and is willing to learn, and the old man also wants to teach him everything he knows."
surnamed Chen, or from Yuzhou, this reminds Zhao Yun of a person, a close friend with strong martial arts.
However, Zhao Yun immediately dispelled this idea, there are more than 10 million households surnamed Chen in Yuzhou, it is impossible to be so coincidental, and I haven't seen Chen De have any intersection with that person in my last life, and I haven't heard him mention it.
Having said that, this Chen Jiang is a talent, and what he Zhao Yun lacks most now is manpower, and he already has the intention to get this Chen Jiang from Chen De's hands.
Zhao Yun didn't want to beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "Shopkeeper Chen, if you can, I want Chen Jiang to help me do things, what do you think?" ”
"This~!?" Chen Degang said that he wanted to teach Chen Jiang what he had learned all his life, but Zhao Yun still cared about him, which was tantamount to snatching love with a knife, and his heart was very entangled, but he understood that if this Chen Jiang followed Zhao Yun, he would have a better future, thinking about it, he turned his head to Chen Jiang and said, "Chen Jiang, it is your blessing to be able to follow the second young master, why don't you hurry up and thank the second young master!?" ”
"Yes, Uncle De," Chen Jiang was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, his pupils contracted, this was his opportunity, he must not miss it, and hurriedly saluted Zhao Yun solemnly, "Second Young Master Meng's appreciation, villain Chen Jiang, I am willing to go to the soup and fight the fire!" ”
Zhao Yunhan said with a smile: "Very good, as long as you are willing to do things for me seriously, I will definitely not treat you badly." ”
After pacifying Chen Jiang, Zhao Yun looked at Zhao Bo, who was standing aside without saying a word, and saw that his face was very pale at this time.
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, yesterday he obviously saw that Zhao Bo was still refreshed, it was impossible to work like this in one night, it was obvious that he was injured.
"Xiaobo, are you hurt!? What's going on? Who hurt you? ”
Zhao Yun's face was full of concern, not like a fake, but he thought of Zhao Fan in his heart, guessing if Zhao Fan was afraid of himself and didn't dare to do it directly to himself, but he wanted to get back to the field, so he came to deal with his subordinates, and wanted to make an example of him.
"Second young master, don't get in the way, I'm not seriously injured, and no one is to blame for this injury, it's just an accident."
Zhao Bo saw Zhao Yun's appearance, his heart warmed, he knew that Zhao Yun really regarded himself as a brother, but although he didn't know what Zhao Yun was thinking, he knew that Zhao Yun must have thought too much, and explained.
"Here's the thing."
So Zhao Bo told the whole story of the matter, Zhao Yun listened very carefully, and from Zhao Bo's narration, Zhao Yun was glad that he really didn't find the wrong person to do this.
It turned out that after Zhao Bo took Zhao Yun's errand yesterday, he was afraid that Zhao Yun would not give enough money, so he took out all his own savings.
Then Zhao Bo led a fast horse from the stable, and went to the county seat non-stop, another industry of Zhaojiazhuang's 'Jinyi Cloth Village', and used this as a base to arrange several reliable subordinates to go to several towns around Zhending, and began to recruit Xiangyong at the same time, and he Zhao Bo also went to the 'grass market' to recruit people.
The 'grass market' is not a place to buy and sell flowers and plants, but a place to buy and sell human beings and slaves, and it is also a place to recruit workers for a living, which can be said to be a talent market in ancient times.
At the beginning, it was smooth, in this troubled era, he could get a high-paying errand with martial arts, and there would naturally be no shortage of applicants, but soon, because of the shortage of silver, Zhao Bo was a little stretched.
At this moment, a person came to apply for a job with Zhao Bo, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked Zhao Bo for ten taels of gold, but for a while, Zhao Bo wanted to go where to get so much money, but he could see that this person was definitely a rare master, for the sake of the second young master, he must find a way to leave this person behind.
Seeing Zhao Bo hesitating, the master thought that he was unwilling to make this price, so he turned around and was about to leave, but he woke up Zhao Bo who was thinking, and subconsciously made a move to stop him.
And the master, seeing Zhao Bo's shot, was a little inexplicable, and then shot angrily, just one move, Zhao Bo in the middle of the Guiyuan Realm was shocked out of internal injuries, Zhao Bo thought that this was still caused by the mercy of the master's subordinates, otherwise he would be crippled if he didn't die, and now that he thinks about it, he still has palpitations.
"What is this man's name?"
Zhao Yun listened carefully, Zhao Bo said this, he finally couldn't help but ask, Zhao Bo is in the middle of the Guiyuan Realm, and he can hurt Zhao Bo with one move, this person is above the Grandmaster Realm, not to mention ten taels of gold, even if the other party wants a hundred taels of gold, he Zhao Yun is willing to pay, now he is not short of money, what is lacking is such a master.
Zhao Bo pursed his chapped lips and said a name: "This person's surname is Gao Mingshun, and he said that he is from Bingzhou." ”
