Chapter 1058: Immortal Grass Order
As Lin Mubai finished speaking, the scene once again returned to silence. A few people in the hall looked at me, and I looked at you, as if waiting for the other party to speakβat this moment, they who were originally enemies temporarily formed a united front.
"Lord Lin, a few of us are just small herb merchants. If there's anything you want us to do, please say so, and we'll do what we can. After a long time, an older man stepped forward. This person happens to be the person in charge of the Xiancaotang's office in Jinling - Shang Zekun. Because of the fifth ranking, everyone on the road will shout "Shang Wuye"!
"What the fifth master said is very true, Lord Lin, if you have anything to say, just say it!" As this Fifth Master Shang finished speaking, the rest of the people opened their mouths to cater to them. Obviously, Shang Wuye, who was the representative of the Immortal Grass Hall, had become the leader of this temporary alliance at this moment.
"Good! Since you Shang Wuye said so, I, Lin someone, will no longer carry around! Lin Mubai nodded, and called Shang Wuye very respectfully. This can be regarded as giving face.
"Lord Lin, I can't afford to call me that!" Shang Zekun was also very aware of the current affairs and modest, "You just call me Shang Wu!" β
"Oh well! I won't say much about polite words, you should all be in the herb business, today Lin summoned you late at night, there is something to ask for! Lin Mubai nodded and said.
"Lord Lin, please speak!"
"The soldiers of the three armies of Daqing have the strategy of General Shi's surprise army to defeat the rebels in the north this time, and they are already victorious. But this God blessed the unforeseen situation, and at this critical time, a plague was born in the army. Lin Mubai briefly talked about the situation in Yangzhou, and there was no more talk for Shi Yuan in his words, which was also to stabilize the panic of these people.
"Fortunately, General Shi was helped by the divine doctor Hua Tuo, and there was a cure for the epidemic. It's just that there is not enough Chinese medicine and grass in Yangzhou City now, and I hope that all of you can think of ways and come up with ideas. Lin Mubai continued.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning in his words was already very obvious, what to think of, come up with ideas, to put it bluntly, it is to ask for medicinal materials!
"Lord Lin, this is asking us for medicinal herbs?" After a short silence, Shang Zekun asked again in place of everyone.
"Hmm. Shang Wuye really knows things, and Lin Mou is exactly what he means! Of course, I, Lin someone, am not robbing, and I will give you the money for this medicine. Lin Mubai picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said quietly.
"This ......" Shang Zekun looked embarrassed, obviously he wanted to increase his chips.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't talk crookedly here. That is, Lin Shibo will give you face, and I, Guo Renjie, would have taken it by force! Guo Renjie's face turned dark, and he said with some bastards: "Don't tell Lao Tzu that there is no medicine, give money now, there will be no such good things later." You'd better think about it! β
How can he Guo Renjie say that he is also the son of a large family, born in a businessman, not to mention being well-read and courteous, he is gentle and elegant, at least he should talk about some etiquette. Such rudeness, like the behavior of a robber, really made Lin Mubai on the side a little dumbfounded. Although they said one black and one white in advance, but now Guo Renjie's black face seems to be singing a little too much! This made Lin Mubai, a white face, not know how to sing.
But fortunately, Shang Zekun always has some knowledge, and he was not frightened by Guo Renjie's words, "Since this is the case, then I will make it clear, we do have medicinal herbs, and if it is needed by Yangzhou City, we will also give it." It's just that...... I'm afraid you can't afford this price, Lord Lin! β
"Hahaha...... It's the first time I, Guo Renjie, have heard someone tell me that I can't afford to pay! Lin Mubai didn't speak, Guo Renjie laughed and said, "Just say it!" β
"The Guo family, where gold is a horse and jade is a soup, is really wealthy! I Shang Wu knows that this money is just ...... from your Guo Gongzi's gift I don't know how to bid, so I said Guo Gongzi, you can't afford to pay the price! Shang Zekun, the old fritter, glanced at Guo Renjie and said without fear. He Shang Zekun may be humble, but behind him is the entire Immortal Grass Hall!
"Bang", Shang Zekun just finished speaking, Guo Renjie threw the teacup in his hand on the ground!
"Okay, you old boy, it's really embarrassing! Actually play me, I, Guo Renjie, have to give you some color today! It seems that Guo Renjie is no longer "acting" blackface, but is really angry.
"Humph! Guo Gongzi, you are such a big official! If something happens to the old man today, then the prefect's mansion can't get out of it! If you want to make this prefect's mansion a Yama palace again, you can try it! Shang Zekun was also not to be outdone, and tore his face with Guo Renjie.
Guo Renjie was originally patrolling the city gate, and at this time he was equipped with a wide knife - although this knife was not useful, in his words, the shelf was always there!
And after Shang Zekun finished saying this, he pulled out the broad knife in his hand...... Well, it's a bit laborious to pull out, and it looks a little funny.
But even if he doesn't move skillfully, it looks a little funny. But after he pulled out the knife, the people in the hall except for Shang Zekun were also panicked. They all stood up in fear, and someone even said: "Guo Gongzi, you have something to say, isn't it just medicinal herbs!" It's for you, but you can't use a knife! β
"Yes, yes. It is also within our share of the worries of the court for the sake of the court......"
"The Imperial Court? You don't think that this Jinling is still in charge of the imperial court, right? No matter what happens to you, I can't get this medicine out of Xiancaotang! Shang Zekun listened to everyone's words, but he smiled softly and said with some sarcasm.
And just when the saber rattling was tense and the scene was at an impasse for a while, two people walked in from the outside!
"Tsk...... Xiancaotang, it's really interesting! Hearing this, everyone turned to look at the door of the lobby.
"Girl of Hundred Flowers, White Girl, why are you here?" The person who came was Bai Suzhen and Baihua, who came back from the house, and when they saw the two, Guo Renjie asked with a shocked face.
Baihua ignored Guo Renjie, and after walking into the lobby, he looked directly at Shang Zekun, "You are the person in charge of Xiancaotang, right?" β
Shang Zekun looked at the hundred flowers in front of him, although he didn't know it, but he didn't know why, but he couldn't help but tighten in his heart. was stunned, and then replied to Baihua: "I am the person in charge of this fairy grass hall in Jinling, I don't know who the girl is?" β
Baihua didn't reply, but directly took out a token and threw it in front of Shang Zekun's eyes. And Shang Zekun was stunned when he saw this token, and said to himself in a panic: "This, this is the Immortal Grass Order!?" β
