Chapter XXXVIII
"Passing the hall?" Cao's face turned even paler, if she left the court, her daughter's reputation would be completely over, whether she was guilty or not, her figure shook.
Gu Bainiang stretched out her hand to support her.
"No, no, it's a trip to Peng Yi's pharmacy in Hezhong County." "Just ask a few words." ”
"Okay, I'll go with you." Gu Bainiang nodded and said.
This little lady looked peaceful, it seemed that everyone was talking about the topic of good weather today, and a few people looked at her twice, and saw that she was dressed poorly, with an elegant bearing, and a faint smile on her face.
Ordinary people will be uneasy in the face of these officials who suddenly come to the door, not to mention the delicate little ladies, who are afraid that they will be weak and unable to stand.
Everyone thought of the origin of this little lady, they were all rough people who had never read a book, so everyone agreed in their hearts that the girls raised by the scholars were different.
"Eighteen Niang," Cao bit his lower lip with some uneasiness.
"Mother, it's okay, we didn't do anything wrong, what's so scary?" Gu Banniang said with a smile and held Cao's hand with her backhand, "It may be that something happened to the shopkeeper Peng's pharmacy, I have provided him with medicinal materials, so naturally I should go to be questioned, it doesn't matter." ”
Cao Shi looked at his daughter's quiet smiling face, and suddenly felt a little ashamed, as if he was not as calm as his daughter.
"Okay," she nodded, "Mother will come with you." ”
Seeing that Cao's mother and daughter left with the official errand, the nest suddenly exploded on the street, and everyone didn't hear what was going on at all, and it was a mess for a while.
"The Gu family has a lawsuit...."
"The daughter of the Gu family killed ....."
"Phew, it's selling fake medicine, how can your ears hear..."
A young man who was standing outside the Qianjin Hall and watching the excitement spat out the melon seeds in his mouth and said loudly: "Isn't selling fake medicine equivalent to murder?" ”
Yes, yes, everyone nodded together, but everyone who took the medicine was sick, and what they took was fake medicine, but it wasn't fatal!
After the last Qianjintang incident, the people on the street basically knew that this little lady of the Gu family sold medicine to make a living.
"I really didn't expect that such a little girl would do such a hurtful thing, even if she was poor and starved to death, she couldn't make such money...."An old man shook his head with a sad face.
"Master Gu was the most generous, benevolent and sincere to others during his lifetime, but I didn't expect this...."Everyone sighed again and again.
"Not really! Not at all! Douhua shouted in the crowd, "Eighteen Niang won't sell fake medicines!" ”
"Why not?" Someone pointed to Qianjintang and said, "I remember making trouble in Qianjintang before, didn't you say that she sold fake medicines?" ”
At this time, everyone remembered it and looked at Qianjintang one after another.
"Then the little lady of the Gu family also sold them medicine, and their family won't have fake medicine, right?"
Unexpectedly, the troubled water led to them, the young man was a little flustered, threw down the melon seeds in his hand, and hurriedly said: "No, since that time it was exposed that she was selling fake drugs, we have never dealt with her again!" ”
"Huh? Didn't you say last time that she didn't sell you fake medicine? Your shopkeeper gave her a lot of money! Someone asked puzzled.
It's really more and more chaotic, the little guy has no idea, so he said nonsense, what she begged us not to be quiet, our shopkeeper's kindness, Yunyun, what everyone said was half-believing in the clouds.
"Phew! Don't spread rumors here! Obviously, it was your Qianjintang who bullied others and coaxed them to sell you medicine at a low price, but they were seen through by Eighteen Niang! Douhua raised his voice and shouted, "Who said that Eighteen Niang sells fake medicines?" The officials also said that it was the pharmacy that sold fake medicines, and it didn't mean that the eighteen mothers sold it, what are you shouting! ”
The young man snorted, and had no excuse, so he had to say that it would be nothing good if she was found by the official messenger anyway, and the official messenger would not look for her for no reason.
Both of these points of view are reasonable, and for a while there was a lot of discussion on the street, and there was everything to say.
"Hmph, the official is looking for her, she is selling fake medicines? Hmph, don't worry, it's all a pharmacy, maybe the official will come to you! Douhua shook his hand angrily, and the bean dregs splashed everywhere, so he squeezed away from the crowd and ran.
The young man from Qianjintang was angry with these words, pointed at her back and scolded her, and then went in angrily.
Zhang Dahu walked past the people who gathered in twos and threes to talk and walked into the Qianjin Hall.
In the Qianjin Hall, the shopkeeper Zhou continued to pull and calculate.
"Congratulations to Shopkeeper Zhou Rijin Doujin's wish come true..."Zhang Dahu squinted his eyes and smiled, the fat on his neck trembled with laughter.
"Rejoice and rejoice." Shopkeeper Zhou put away the bargain without smiling.
"I said that when the time comes, you will open a pharmacy in Hezhong County, and the money can be turned?" Zhang Dahu sat down and asked with a smile.
Shopkeeper Zhou glanced at him, since Zhang Dahu came to the door and agreed on this method of framing him, he knew that the purpose of this old boy was not just to force the mother and daughter of the Gu family to sell the house.
He smiled knowingly, didn't hesitate, and opened his mouth and said, "You are seven and I are three." ”
Zhang Dahu's eyes immediately narrowed into a slit.
Shopkeeper Zhou glanced at him, twisted his beard and said unhurriedly: "The income is seven for me and three for you." ”
Zhang Dahu's eyes widened suddenly, "How is this calculated?" I gave so much and got so little....Besides, I paid the money for the fake drug dealer this time....."
"Okay, then you run it, I don't want a penny." Shopkeeper Zhou said slowly.
Zhang Dahu smiled bitterly, the shopkeeper Zhou doesn't want a penny, naturally he can't get a penny, he doesn't know that this old guy is the most stingy and grudgeful, even if he takes down Peng Yi's pharmacy at that time, the shopkeeper will definitely open another one in Hezhong County this week.
He doesn't want to be a rival with him! Thinking about the fate of Peng Yi's needle, Zhang Dahu shivered.
He was looking for Shopkeeper Zhou, but he just wanted Shopkeeper Zhou to make trouble with Gu Bainiang's fake medicine, and inadvertently said that he had seen someone buy fake medicine, but he didn't expect Shopkeeper Zhou to immediately come up with this strategy of killing two birds with one stone according to this sentence.
No, maybe it's still three birds with one stone, Zhang Dahu touched his fat neck and thought about it, and always felt as if he belonged to the one who was calculated in this incident.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, you're laughing, where will I run a pharmacy ....." Zhang Dahu laughed, three is three, if he can get the Gu family's house this time, the money he earns is enough to fill the money he gave to prepare fake medicine and give the seven shares to Shopkeeper Zhou, so calculated, the income of these three points is for nothing!
Worthwhile!
"I don't know much about Shopkeeper Zhou, I just happened to know that there is such a fake drug....you won't have any problems, right?" Zhang Dahu asked in a low voice.
"What's the problem? The medicine is fake, she bought it and sold it, what else could be wrong? Shopkeeper Zhou sneered, snapped, and pushed the calculation chip in his hand on the table, "This time, the two of them are covered in mouths and can't tell!" ”
As he spoke, he twisted his beard and looked out the window, feeling happy for no reason, "This time the two of them want to get out, unless they ....."
"Unless what?" Zhang Dahu hurriedly asked.
"Unless she didn't buy fake medicine..."Shopkeeper Zhou laughed.
That's a joke.
"It's impossible.." Zhang Dahu also laughed, "How is it possible? ”
