Chapter Forty-Eight: Manipulation
Feng Yao was already much better, and when he saw that Cui Minglou was going downstairs to listen to the foot of the wall, he rushed to follow.
When they arrived next to the room on the second floor, they heard the shopkeeper Ye arguing in surprise: "If you only let me replace the good ones with inferior ones, that's fine!" But now you're going to let me change to this rhubarb, which is similar but has completely different medicinal properties, and that's not going to work! Something will happen! β
Rhubarb is not so casual to eat, if it is not properly matched, the person who takes it will be drenched in the lower body and have to carry the disease.
Shopkeeper Ye was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he looked like he was ten years old overnight, and his whole body revealed his old age, not to mention the dark circles that couldn't be covered, he even had a white hair.
If these people are greedy for profit, it is not uncommon to be shoddy.
But directly change the medicinal herbs, that is really going to happen, this medicinal herbs are not ordinary people to buy, this is to be sent to the palace, if there is anything wrong with eating, this medicinal herb shop will be completely wiped out.
The boss behind it, that is, Lu Mingxi, has to walk around without eating.
Shopkeeper Ye has always been grateful for Lu Mingxi's promotion, how could he bear to do such a thing? When even forcefully refused: "I can't do this!" If you have to do this, then I would rather you go to the official, and I will definitely smash the pot and sell iron to you! Nothing will go wrong, just let me go! β
Thinking that Lu Ming, who might be harmed, had no place to die, Shopkeeper Ye refused without even thinking about it.
The person on the other side sneered.
This laughter made Shopkeeper Ye a little uneasy, and he asked anxiously, "What are you laughing at?" β
Cui Minglou, who was listening next door, squinted.
Feng Yao on the other side was also thoughtful, and made a lip shape at Cui Minglou: "It's not simple." β
It's really not simple, what the hell are these people trying to do?
After Shopkeeper Ye asked, the person opposite coldly lifted his eyelids: "Don't be naΓ―ve, you want to be loyal to your master, but what about your family?" Don't say anything about paying back the silver and go to live a hard life together, you have spent almost the same amount of money, I know, your daughter's stepping bed has been moved to your future son-in-law's house, you talk about it, if this thing doesn't work out, your son-in-law's house, is your daughter still staying? β
Shopkeeper Ye was struck by lightning, but he still tried to control his emotions: "You don't have to worry about this, you can give us this silver, it can't be kind." Anyway, I'll give you back the money, and I won't do that! β
Not only did he not do it, but he also had to remind the eldest lady.
The eldest lady has not been easy all these years, and it has been hard to survive until now, if something happens again, it will be really pitiful.
"The surname is Ye! You'd better not be ignorant! The person on the other side was angry: "You have done this today, it's best to do it for us, so that we can still let you find a place to live incognito afterwards, but if you are blindly stubborn, I will leave the words here, I will let you live as well as die, and I will let your whole family die without a place to be buried, do you believe it or not?!" β
Shopkeeper Ye was so frightened that he trembled, pointed at the person opposite, and was so angry that he couldn't speak.
After a long time, the person on the other side cooled down: "You'd better think about it yourself, now that you have received our silver, and your wife has received our benefits, if you turn your face and don't say anything else, this silver will be enough for you to drink a pot." What's more, your daughter is so beautiful, you don't want her to fall into the dust by then, right? You can't afford it, so we'll have to sell her to a brothel. β
Shopkeeper Ye was so angry that he almost fainted, he never thought that these people could be shameless like this, and pointed at them for a while before he could speak: "What did we offend you about, you want to persecute us like this?!" β
The person on the other side smiled proudly: "Look at you, aren't you talking nonsense again?" What is not to be offended? Things in this world have their own positions, and we do this for a reason. I also know that Shopkeeper Ye is a loyal person, but if we are loyal to loyalty, we have to take care of ourselves first, right? β
Shopkeeper Ye didn't speak in the end.
The other side was very satisfied, and knocked on the table: "Then this matter is settled, tomorrow night, you will open the warehouse, and we will send in the things that should be sent in, understand?" β
There was movement in the next room, it seemed that someone had come out, Cui Minglou frowned, and pulled Feng Yao behind the screen.
Almost at the same time, the door was opened, and someone took a few steps into the room, as if to check, and a moment later, the door creaked shut.
Feng Yao raised his eyebrows: "It's really weird, these people's alertness is quite high." It's a bit like your Jinyiwei's style, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary person, who has Miss Lu offended, and people will spend so much effort to buy her henchmen to deal with her? β
Changing herbs is not a trivial matter.
Cui Minglou lowered his head and thought for a moment, then turned around and went out, beckoned Yuan Shan to come over, and said a few words to Yuan Shan.
Yuanshan hurriedly agreed.
Feng Yao asked him, "What do you want Yuanshan to do?" He hurried away without a trace. β
"Let him follow the person who threatens the shopkeeper Ye, I'm also very curious, what kind of immortal will come to persecute people with such fanfare." Cui Minglou's complexion is not very good-looking, and framing Lu Mingxi is tantamount to framing Lu Mingwei.
That girl is the most protective.
If she knew that her sister was being calculated like this, she would definitely not feel comfortable in her heart.
He had to pull out the man who buried the nail before it went down.
Feng Yao glanced at Cui Minglou a little strangely: "You are not usually such a nosy person, why, do you like Miss Lu?" β
Between brothers, there are not so many scruples about talking.
These jokes have been made before.
It's just that the object is not Lu Mingwei.
But this time, Cui Minglou was very faceless, and glared at Feng Yao with a frown: "Be respectful, she doesn't like others to joke like this." β
Feng Yao was really shocked this time, he looked at Cui Minglou, and he was really a little incredulous.
Is this guy really the Cui Minglou he knows?
He couldn't help but think of the time when he was in the cemetery before, he wanted to thank Miss Lu Er, but was stopped by Cui Minglou, saying that there was no need to bother with this, he would thank him himself, this favor was given to him by Miss Lu Er.
Co-authoring, this is really a sign for a long time?!
