Chapter 16: Difficulty
In the following days, the road was smooth in Qiyang Mountain, and there were no accidents.
Soon, Lin Chen and his party arrived in Luohe City.
Luohe City is located on the bank of the Luohe River in the north of Cangyan Country, so it is called Luohe City, the six cities of Tongzhou County.
The Luo River is the border between the Cangyan Country and the Snow Moon Country, and the North across the Luo River is the Snow Moon Country.
The national strength of the Cangyan Kingdom is weaker than that of the Xueyue Country, and the relationship between the two countries has always been poor, although there is no major war, but there are often frictions on the border.
Especially after winter, when the Luo River freezes, the army of the Snow Moon Kingdom can cross the Luo River, invade Luohe City, burn, kill and loot.
"Childe, we're going to the city. Liu Quan's voice came from outside the car.
After Lin Chen heard the voice, he lifted the curtain and looked out the window.
A city immediately entered Lin Chen's eyes.
In Luohe City, the prosperity is naturally not as good as Yancheng, the capital of Cangyan Country, but it is not deserted, even if it is already early winter, the weather is relatively cold, but there are still many pedestrians on the street, and monks can naturally be seen everywhere, and there are many soldiers patrolling the streets.
On the top of the street, you can see all kinds of shops, Dan pharmacies, refining workshops, and all kinds of shops for martial arts.
Soon, the coachman took Lin Chen to the designated place - Lin Family Pharmacy, a shop that deals in pills, and it is also a store that Lin Chen is going to take over.
The Lin Family Medicine Hall, which is the main industry of the Lin Wangfu, is located all over the Cangyan Kingdom, mainly dealing in the elixir used by the monks to cultivate, and also providing alchemy services, as well as healing, curing diseases and detoxifying for the monks.
"It's cold. ”
After Ruyi got out of the car, he stomped his feet, sighed at his hands, and rubbed his hands.
Lin Chen saw Ruyi like this, and spoke: "If there is cultivation, it will not be like this." ”
When Ruyi heard this, his face showed embarrassment, and he said: "The talent of the slave is mediocre, even if she cultivates, it is difficult to become a great weapon." ”
"Not necessarily. Lin Chen replied with a smile.
Ruyi looked at Lin Chen's smile and was slightly stupid.
In fact, Lin Chen's appearance is definitely handsome, and he is extremely handsome.
In the national capital, if it weren't for the fact that the reputation and strength were not very good, it would definitely attract many women.
After all, the world of monks is more about strength than face.
"Childe, do you want to teach slaves and maids to cultivate?" Ruyi quickly recovered, winked at Lin Chen and asked.
"If you behave well, I can teach you to cultivate. Lin Chen responded.
Ruyi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then smiled sweetly: "Childe, how can it be called good performance?"
After Ruyi decided to follow Lin Chen loyally, he also resumed his habit of being coquettish to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen smiled, didn't answer, but spoke: "Come in with me and have a look." ”
"Hmm. Ruyi nodded obediently, and then entered the store with Lin Chen.
The shop is not big, the front hall is very spacious, there are more than ten medicine cabinets, and there is a glazed jade platform, and the back hall has the fragrance of medicine wafting out from time to time.
The decoration of the whole store is extremely simple, which is very in line with the style of the pill store.
However, Lin Chen found one thing, there were not many customers in the store, business was very deserted, and only a few shop guys were working at the counter very leisurely.
"Guest, look at what pills you want to buy, our store is backed by King Lin's Mansion, King Lin's Mansion you must know, out of King Dan's family, the quality of the pill has nothing to say. ”
After Lin Chen came in, the guys in the store didn't come up to greet him, but just shouted a word to him, which was a little perfunctory.
Lin Chen's heart sank slightly, and he was a little displeased.
Is this the way to do business if you neglect your customers like this?
However, Lin Chen immediately sensed that something was wrong, his strength was not weak now, and because of his talent attributes, he was extremely sensitive to everything.
He noticed that when he entered the store, everyone in the store was secretly watching him.
It seems that he already knows his identity and wants to give him a dismissal.
"My name is Lin Chen, the fourth son of Prince Lin, and this time according to the meaning of the palace, I began to take over the business in the store. Lin Chen didn't want to talk nonsense, and immediately took out the letter from the palace, "Call out your shopkeeper." ”
When the guys in the store heard this, they looked at each other and smiled, and then they surrounded each other, and their faces seemed to be smiling.
"It turned out that Young Master Chen was here. ”
"What a talent. ”
"Young Master Chen, you have come all the way, you must be tired, why don't you take a rest first?"
"Don't talk nonsense, call the shopkeeper out, I'm going to take over the shop. Lin Chen said expressionlessly.
"The shopkeeper is a third-grade alchemist, and he went out yesterday, saying that he had something important, and he couldn't come back without ten days and half a month. One of the fellows immediately spoke.
Lin Chen's brows furrowed when he heard this, although he knew that this was the shopkeeper deliberately avoiding him, but he couldn't refute this reason, alchemists all had to join the Alchemist Association, so going to the Alchemist Association was indeed a legitimate reason.
"Then bring all the accounts, I'm going to take over the store!" Lin Chen said quietly.
"I'm sorry, the accounts are all kept by the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper is not there, we can't get it, and no one can read the accounts except the shopkeeper. The other guy smirked.
"I am now the shopkeeper of this store, I look at the account books, if you shirk it, are you making fake accounts and greedy for the property of the Mo Palace?"
"No, absolutely not, how dare we, how dare we touch the things of the palace. Everyone was shocked by Lin Chen's momentum, and they immediately panicked, and waved their hands again and again.
"Bring the ledger!" Lin Chen said coldly again.
"Young Master Chen, the ledger is really kept by the shopkeeper, we really don't know where it is, we can't take it out. The guy in the shop broke out in a cold sweat at this moment, and his voice trembled a little.
Lin Chen knew, obviously the shopkeeper deliberately arranged this play, making it difficult for him and making him retreat.
He didn't say much, so he found a chair and sat down, closing his eyes and saying nothing.
And Ruyi also stood aside, also silent.
The atmosphere of the entire store instantly became extremely solemn, and everyone in the store was breathless.
At this moment, these guys were horrified in their hearts.
Didn't the news come that Lin Chen was a waste material?
Can you just deal with it casually?
Why, the oppressive force is so great, just like the old shopkeeper.
Now everyone is also at a loss, do they want to help the old treasurer resist this foreign power grabber, or help the people sent by the palace?
It doesn't seem to please you to stand on either side.
"Your Lin Family Pharmacy still sells fake medicines, let your shopkeeper get out of here!"
At this moment, there was an angry roar outside the medicine hall, and then a man with five big and three thick, with a scimitar pinned to his waist, walked in menacingly.
