Chapter 42: Jiulangzhong's fame is outside

"Did you hear that? We have a famous Langzhong in this town. A passer-by in simple clothes said.

"Of course I know, some time ago I also bought some Chinese medicine in his shop to nourish the body!" Passerby B on the side of passer-by A also happily agreed.

"Eh, it turns out that you all know that Langzhong, although that Langzhong looks hateful, but he is kind-hearted, and these medicines are sold at very low prices." Passerby C heard the conversation between the two of them, and also came in and said with a smile.

And this person in a border town near Wushan has a good reputation.

At this moment, he was in the medicine shop with his door closed, counting the bills and some broken silver.

"Two hundred, two hundred two, two hundred three, two hundred four...... Two hundred and ninety-eight! Su Mujiu's eyes were shining, and the corners of her mouth were about to grin behind her ears.

In front of her was a pile of glittering silver, and she looked like a rich man.

"Steward, we've only been here for three days, and we've already earned two hundred and ninety-eight taels of silver!" Su Mujiu said happily to the manager who was still busy in the kitchen.

After a while, the steward walked out with two pots of vegetables.

He looked at Su Mujiu, who was so excited in front of him, and stopped talking.

Instead, he turned around and threw himself into the East Kitchen, made two bowls of rice, and placed them on the table.

"Lord Wang, come over for dinner." He spoke, with a faint worry in his eyes.

Su Mujiu wrapped the silver in cloth, wrapped it tightly for several layers, walked into the small wing room on the side with the silver, and tinkered with it for a long time before walking out slowly.

Her face was full of spring, and she ate it with a bowl.

"Lord Wang...... You've been busy making money these days, but don't forget to get down to business......" The manager finally said his true words, these days he watched the prince play this Jiu Lang played vividly, and the fake way of prescribing medicine to people surprised him.

Even he almost thought that this prince was really a pharmacist from the capital, not here to investigate the case.

Su Mujiu took a big mouthful of rice, and the black and white pupils stared at the manager, with a smile in his eyes, "Oh, didn't I ask you to call me Jiu Langzhong?" Beware that this partition wall has ears. ”

The steward's eyes were full of worry, and he ate his meal, absent-minded.

"Anla, I know what you're thinking, but you should also know that when we first arrived, this town is near Wushan, and there must be a lot of ears and eyes around, if we start to make a big move, I'm afraid we won't survive the first night."

Su Mujiu comforted the manager, her dark skin looked a little wheat-colored in the sun, and the scar looked softer.

"But the king...... Jiulang, you just counted the money so happily, I thought you were focused on making money. ”

The manager breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the prince had not forgotten the purpose of their trip.

"Steward, you don't understand, why don't you make money if you have money? I'm making money and investigating cases, and I've got a lot of money in one fell swoop. Su Mujiu did not shy away from saying what was in her heart.

“……”

The steward was speechless.

Su Mujiu was very interested, she ate a bite of stir-fried cabbage, the corners of her mouth rose, and suddenly she seemed to remember something, she opened her mouth and said, "By the way, didn't I let you pay attention to the comments of the people around me here?" How is it? ”

The manager took a bite of food and reported honestly: "The residents near this town all praise Jiu Langzhong for your kindness, medical ethics, and a good man who is chivalrous and righteous. ”

Su Mujiu listened to this praise and nodded with satisfaction.

These people are quite discerning.

"What else? What else? Su Mujiu continued to ask, only the evaluation of this people is the most real, and it can more and more show that she has perfectly integrated into it.

In this way, it will be more handy when investigating the case.

The steward hesitated for a moment, and then he continued: "They also said that although you have an ugly face, you don't make a fortune, and the price of these medicinal materials is good and cheap......

Su Mujiu, who was still smiling, collapsed in an instant when he heard the four big words "ugly face".

What does it mean to be ugly?

Aren't these people without a little appreciation for beauty?

"But Lord Wang, in fact, I'm very curious, why is the price of your medicinal herbs actually not cheap, it is more expensive than one or two cents in Beijing, but they still think it is good and cheap?"

The manager realized that the situation was not right and immediately changed the subject.

Su Mujiu really didn't delve into the question of her appearance, but patiently answered with the manager: "Because I said that this medicinal material was shipped from distant Persia, which is a good place rich in good medicine, and the price is generally high, so my price is already considered a conscience price." ”

"Jiu Langzhong, how can you ...... this black-hearted money" The more the manager said, the quieter the voice became.

This medicinal herb was obviously picked by the beautiful man named Jing Nian in the prince's mansion who went to the mountains to pick it personally, and he didn't need money at all.

The prince took advantage of the fact that the man was still outside to collect medicine, and secretly loaded it into the carriage and brought it out.

Su Mujiu didn't care, she had already eaten this meal, took out a handkerchief from her arms, wiped the corners of her mouth, and then said: "I didn't make black money, I took it from the people and used it for the people, I plan to call everyone to dig a well tomorrow." ”

"Dig a well?" The steward did not understand the purpose of the well.

"This good reputation needs to be publicized by doing good deeds, and it can better integrate into the local area, and I will pay for the well, and the Wushan fire is the most lacking water source at the moment." Su Mujiu's eyes were glazed with light, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.

This was her plan at the beginning, and it was a good way to benefit the people.

At present, half of the silver is estimated to be taken out of the well, and half of it has fallen into her pocket, which can be regarded as her hard-earned money.

"Jiulangzhong, when are we going to start acting?" The steward asked about the point, and their immediate priority was not the well, not the people, but the army in hiding.

"Today." Fingertips tapped on the table, and I already had an idea in my heart.

If you don't move for the first three days, the eyeliner will inevitably let your guard down, and this is the perfect time to strike.

"Good!" When the steward heard this, his eyes were full of joy.

He waited three days before he could finally start investigating the loss of grain and grass.

He began to hold the dishes and chopsticks neatly, and it seemed that he was already familiar with the road.

"However, Jiulangzhong, there is one thing I don't understand...... "The steward was about to leave with the bowl, but after hesitating again and again, he still asked the doubts in his heart.

"You say." Su Mujiu stood up, walked to the bench on the side, lay down comfortably, picked up the pu fan on the side, and shook it gently.

The gentle wind blew, making her hum softly.

In the hot summer, this fan is a must-have medicine for home travel.

"Don't you know how to heal? Why is it that none of the local residents who have visited you in the past three days have doubted your identity? ”。

As soon as the question was raised, Su Mujiu smiled meaningfully.
