Chapter 047: Peach Blossom Gu (4)
"Spicy dried fish? I want it, I want it, I want it all. The cat demon raised his hand, ran to the small vendor selling dried fish with a pair of bright eyes, picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing that she was happy to eat, the vendor pushed harder: "These small dried fish of mine are roasted with pure Western Regions chili peppers, and the taste is absolutely unique." The girl is a person who loves fish, and no one dares to fool you, an expert. And Miss Nan, that's one of the best miracle doctors in our Anping County, I don't dare to lie in front of Miss Nan. Miss Nan, would you also like to taste my spicy little dried fish?"
"The cat likes it, send it to Baicaotang." Nan Jinyi glanced at the cat demon's eating appearance: "I have something to do now, in an hour, you go to Baicaotang to withdraw money." β
"Look at what the girl said, I'm afraid that the girl won't be able to repay the debt?" The peddler picked up his courage in a hurry: "The two girls eat first, and this account will be calculated another day." I know that the girl is busy, so I am not in a hurry for a while. β
"Or will you be human." The cat demon stood on tiptoe and patted the peddler's shoulder: "Have you ever thought about making dried fish into rock sugar gourds?" β
"Sugar gourd?" The peddler looked at the cat demon with a confused expression: "Is this small dried fish still delicious when made into rock sugar gourds?" β
"You haven't even tried it, how do you know it's not delicious." The cat demon asked rhetorically, pointing to the sugar gourd seller on the street: "Go back and try it, if it's delicious, I'll buy it." β
It would be a fool not to do business if there is a business, and the hawker is full of promises.
When the vendor walked over, Nan Jinyi noticed Liu Hanshan standing behind him.
"I heard the kitten say that you went to the Yuelao Temple?" Nan Jinyi spoke: "As the eldest young master of the Liu family, do you also need to ask Elder Yue for marriage?" β
"Seeking marriage?" Liu Hanshan moved his gaze to the cat demon: "There was a stampede in the Yuelao Temple, I'll deal with it." β
"Stampede?" Nan Jinyi turned to the cat demon: "This matter has something to do with you?" I knew you wouldn't take me to the Yuelao Temple for no reason. β
"It's none of my business." The cat demon waved his hand: "I just broke a peach branch in the Yuelao Temple, I felt that the branch was dry and unsightly, and used spiritual power to give birth to a peach blossom, and before the peach blossom bloomed, those women were like crazy, and they had to snatch the branch in my hand." Who am I? Can I let the cats who have been struck eight times by the thunder snatch my peach branches? β
"And then?"
"I escaped with my peach branches." The cat demon replied seriously: "You also know that I am a cat, cats are not on the ordinary path, I followed the old peach tree of the Yuelao Temple to the roof, they had to follow, and then smashed together." I also know I'm in trouble, but I'm trying my best to fix it. Didn't I bring Miss Nan out? β
The cat demon twisted his body as he spoke: "Lord Liu shouldn't have come to arrest me, right?" β
"Passing by, I happened to meet you."
"Didn't you meet me by chance, you met Miss Nan?" The cat demon took a step back: "I'll go to the Yuelao Temple first to see those girls who are smashed into piles, if they are okay, I won't bother Miss Nan to follow me on this trip." β
"They're all right!" Liu Hanshan said quickly: "Qin Ye is dealing with it, and they have also invited other doctors." β
"Then I'll go and help Qin catch his head." The cat demon pointed in the direction of the Yuelao Temple: "Make up for it." β
The cat demon first ran a few steps forward, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he turned into a cat and jumped directly onto the house. By the time Liu Hanshan retracted his gaze, Nan Jinyi had already turned around and went in the direction of Baicaotang.
Liu Hanshan followed after two steps and grabbed her sleeve: "Miss Nan." β
"What's the matter?"
"Higashizawa Townshipβ"
"Don't worry, I'll keep the kitten staring over there."
"Will there be any brides killed?"
"I don't know." Nan Jinyi said: "The old beggar didn't commit suicide, he was killed by the real murderer hidden behind the scenes, and it was in front of you and me." Whether it is a provocation or a last resort, it is impossible to judge at the moment. The souls of Qin Xiaodie and those brides are incomplete, and even if I were to save them, I would not be able to provide more information. Qin Xiaodie's mother, in order to protect her daughter, is attacked by black locusts and her soul is scattered. Now all we can do is wait, waiting for the real culprit behind the scenes to jump out on his own. β
"The girl is well-informed, she may guess what the purpose of the real murderer behind the scenes is?"
"Can't guess." Nan Jin said: "I'm just a doctor. β
"You're not just a doctor." Liu Hanshan looked into his eyes: "You have something on your mind, but it has something to do with the matter in Dongze Township?" β
"Adults don't believe me?" Nan Jinyi frowned: "Believe it or not, I have told everything about Dongze Township, and there is nothing to hide." As for my heart...... It's not a big deal, it's just that I met a strange patient. β
Seeing that Liu Hanshan was dragging his sleeves and not loosening, Nan Jinyi told the Xu family girl about it.
Although Liu Hanshan's county order was bought, he is a real young master of the Liu family, and just what he has seen and heard, he is much higher than ordinary people. After listening to Nan Jinyi's description, he subconsciously asked a sentence.
"The girl just mentioned a word, I don't know if the illness of the girl of the Xu family has anything to do with that word?"
"A word?" Nan Jinyi thought of the peach branch hanging on the cat demon's body: "You mean the peach branch hanging outside the meditation room." β
"It's Gu." Liu Hanshan said: "One of the shopkeepers of our Liu family died after being hit by the heart Gu. β
"Heart Gu?"
"Heart Gu!" Liu Hanshan repeated those two words: "Businessmen value credibility the most, but not all shopkeepers have this word reputation, and even if there is, they will divide people and things." If it's a big customer who does business with them, they don't need to be reminded that they will keep their promises. Why? Because I can't afford to offend. Taking a step back, if it's a difficult person to do business with, they'll keep their promises. Why? Because I am afraid of trouble, I am afraid of being troubled by the other party. But if they meet ordinary people, people they can offend and are not afraid of trouble, they will do whatever they want and trample the word credibility under their feet. β
The Liu family's business names are all over Nanchen, and there can be thousands of large and small shopkeepers combined, and it is impossible for the Liu family to manage them one by one, and those shopkeepers may not necessarily act according to the rules of the Liu family. In their opinion, as long as they make money for the Liu family, and in the eyes of the Liu family, they only need to make money for the Liu family.
The shopkeeper Liu Hanshan said is a person who does not make big mistakes and keeps making small mistakes, and most of the small mistakes he makes are related to reputation. For example, selling old goods new, deducting the seller's payment, etc. Because it's not a big deal, the Liu family has always turned a blind eye.
I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet.
When the shopkeeper was doing business with the barbarians, he repeated his old tricks, not only deducting the other party's payment, but also picking bones in the eggs, wanting to interrupt the business with the barbarians. The barbarian, who saw the shopkeeper's intentions, only asked, "Does the shopkeeper really want to do this?" β
Seeing the shopkeeper's disdain, the barbarian didn't say a word, got up and left.
The next day, the young man went to call the shopkeeper to get up, and found the shopkeeper dead on the ground of the inn, and he had dug a big hole in his heart with his hands, and in the big hole was a broken heart.
There was a passing Taoist who said that the shopkeeper had been planted with a heart Gu, and that heart Gu was aimed at people who were dishonest in business.
