Shopkeeper Liu paused.

"Although it is true that the original price is urgent, it should not be the whole reason. Local buyers know the inside story, so no one buys even if the price is low. And Shopkeeper Liu knew that I didn't live in the city, so he bullied me as a weak woman and strongly recommended it to me. Am I right? ”

Shopkeeper Liu smiled reluctantly: "Look at what you said, my old Liu is my duty, how can I bully you?" - Otherwise, the original owner still has a few hundred catties of medicinal materials, and they will change hands at the same time, so I will simply give them to you, how about it? ”

"Not good." Song Xiang looked at him with a smile. "In short, if Shopkeeper Liu doesn't tell the situation honestly, I won't give a penny!

"Even, because Shopkeeper Liu blatantly deceived customers, I have to claim compensation from Shopkeeper Liu, so that you can not only return my entrustment fee to me, but also return my deposit to me at ten times the amount!"

Shopkeeper Liu stroked his forehead: "How can I deceive customers-"

"I think these neighbors are all time-honored brands, what the hell is going on in this pharmacy, I think I will know it as soon as I ask them!"

Song Xiang beckoned Song Lian to go out the door as he spoke.

Shopkeeper Liu had no choice but to catch up: "You say first, do you sincerely want to find a good shop?" ”

"That's nature. I can't just waste my money, can I? ”

Shopkeeper Liu sighed and pointed to the patio: "Then let's talk about it!" ”

Song Xiang followed him to the patio, and each found a small pestle to sit down, and the shopkeeper Liu said: "Since you can see it, I can't hide it." The original owner's surname is Li, and this medicine was created by the ancestors of the Li family for three generations and slowly expanded to such a large size, which you already know.

"Although the Li family has a name and surname in this southern city, they are ordinary people after all. Last month, their family got into a bit of trouble, and the store added a bit of bad luck. ”

If bad luck is added to the pharmacy, nine times out of ten it is a fatality.

Doing business is to prosper, and a good shop has died, that is, the person who buys the shop is happy, but the person who rents the shop may not be happy.

Song Xiang asked, "I don't know who this Dr. Li is provoking and what happened?" ”

"Girl, do you know General Zhou Yizhou, the commander of the East City in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses?"

Song Xiang raised his eyebrows.

The shopkeeper said: "This week, General Zhou was originally a grassroots, but he had a blessed cousin who married Yu Shilang as the lady of the house. Last month, Yu Shilang's son-in-law took a fancy to a girl and asked General Zhou's uncle, the uncle, to give him a matchmaker. As a result, General Zhou, who had the support of the Yu family, directly wanted to forcibly tie up other girls to Yu Mansion as concubines.

The girl was a fierce and unwilling to be humiliated, so she hanged herself that night, leaving a suicide note accusing Zhou and Yu's family.

"This girl's family took the body to the government, and Yu Shilang was affected, so Zhou Yi ate the head of the row at his brother-in-law's place, and when he came back to check, it turned out to be the owner of this medicine institute, that is, the official who the girl's own uncle advocated to sue.

So he made a fuss in the medicine store and killed the old mother of the Li family, and then the old lady of the Li family couldn't think about it, so he also hanged himself that night.

"Dr. Li doesn't have any backstage, three people died in a row in the family, where do you dare to sue the official after this incident? That's it, I put the shop out of the hand, and I plan to go out of Beijing to avoid the limelight. ”

Song Xiang frowned: "This week's general, could it be the uncle of the young man Yu who was beaten by Xiao Xiaohouye?" ”

Song Lian told her what she saw and heard last night. Xiao Zhenshan's conversation with Lu Zhan did not fall.

"It's him! The girl knows about it, too? ”

Song Xiang did not comment.

The shopkeeper took the opportunity to say: "This owner is also cornered, this medicine is also called a time-honored brand in the capital, and there are hundreds of catties of medicinal materials, if the girl doesn't mind, it's really a big bargain for nothing!"

"What does it matter if this dead man is not a dead man? If you really mind, invite a Taoist priest to come to the town, and it doesn't hurt to take care of it! ”

Speaking of which, where is there still a dead person? It's simply that the original owner offended Zhou Yi, and no one dares to take his plate, right?

Song Xiang pondered for a while: "If I guess correctly, the selling price given by the Li family should be less than four hundred taels, right?" ”

Shopkeeper Liu paused again, and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Miss Song, why don't you give me some way to live......"

"I remember that I had to give you another commission then, and the owner of the family didn't put a price of four hundred taels, but you insisted on asking for so much, aren't you afraid that the old lady and the old lady of the Li family will knock on your door in the middle of the night?"

Shopkeeper Liu stood up, his face flushed.

He gestured out five trembling fingers: "I'll give you fifty taels less!" Three hundred and fifty taels! Three hundred and fifty taels can't be less! That's the number that the Li family gave me! ”

Song Xiang also got up when he heard this: "Then I have to think about it, and I'll give you an answer in a few days." ”

Shopkeeper Liu chased him out: "You have to do it as soon as possible!" After a long time, I can't guarantee that others want it! ”

Song Xiang didn't go back.

Chonghua and the guard Yang Xin just walked here, looking at Song Xiang who was leisurely on the street and the reluctant shopkeeper Liu and stopped.

Chonghua said: "I'll ask what's going on." ”

Yang Xin grabbed him: "What are you asking?" Don't you remember that the prince told me not to mind their business? Isn't a three-month toilet enough for you to clean? ”

Chonghua immediately retracted his feet.

……

When Lu Zhan entered the palace, the emperor happened to see the courtiers and beckoned him to enter.

Lu Zhan first told Tang Zhen about it, and then gave the location of the house to the emperor to see. The Emperor said, "Then tonight." After nightfall, you come to meet me at Shenwu Gate. ”

Lu Zhan should come down.

The emperor took a sip of tea and asked him again, "Is there anything else?" ”

Lu Zhan said: "Does Xu Luo need to keep an eye on it?" ”

The emperor pondered: "How many times have you been to Xingping this time, but what have you heard?" ”

"There are no big bad deeds, but my grandson has also heard on the street that this county magistrate is not small, and he has only been in office for three months, and the news that he is a relative of Lord He has spread throughout the county.

"The intention of fighting for political performance is obvious, and the urging of taxes is relatively strong, but fortunately, in recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the people's harvest is still passable, so there has been no conflict."

The emperor said: "Everyone knows his background after three months in office, and this is forcing his subordinates to listen to his call." However, strong officials have the benefits of strong officials, as long as they are not too hot, they are not a disaster. Strengthening supervision by the imperial court is the right way. - If you have nothing to do in your daily life, you can also walk around and observe the people's feelings. ”

Lu Zhan raised his head, then bowed down and said yes. He said: "I heard that someone broke into He Zhen's study last night. ”

"Oh?" The Emperor turned.

Lu Zhan's jaw: "But I don't know who it is." ”

"I haven't heard of this kind of thing in the capital for years." After the emperor finished speaking, he suddenly looked at him again: "You don't think it's someone I sent, do you?" ”

Lu Zhan bowed his head: "Grandson doesn't dare." ”

The emperor smiled and took a few steps with his hands in his hands: "It's not me. ”

……

The emperor naturally had no reason to lie, and since he denied it himself, it was definitely not someone he sent.

But who will it be?

"Shizi, Chonghua and they have arrived in Nancheng, ask Shizi if he will go over now?"

Lu Zhan stood on the stairs and pondered, and when he heard this, he looked at the sky: "Go now." ”
