Chapter 441: The Pharmacy Manager
Ruan Zun's career as a steward in the elixir depot in Taolin Town officially began after he recovered from his injuries. The fastest update is still as Xia Guiren introduced earlier, there are really not many things, but there are some supervisory responsibilities for the affairs inside and outside the elixir warehouse.
It can be said that this steward is both idle and fat. For the monthly salary of each steward is as high as fifty taels of gold.
Among the four stewards, the highest person in charge of the elixir warehouse and the head of the warehouse is Xie Zong'an; the one who is good at identifying elixirs and is with some pharmacists all day long is a female steward named You Mei; and a middle-aged man who is a little lazy and always seizes every opportunity to sleep lazily, named Chen Adong.
Xie Zongan is the head of the warehouse and the confidant of the mayor of the town, Zhou Da. You Mei is more mysterious, Ruan Zun has only seen her a few times from afar, she is a woman in her twenties, with a leisurely style, and she has not spoken. Chen Adong is said to be the elder brother of a woman who was good with Li Zhong in the Qinglou in Taolin Town.
Li Zhong died, and he had no one to rely on, and he was discouraged, and it was understandable that he was lazy.
Zhou Da has been to Erlong Mountain for many days and has not come back for the time being, so the affairs of Taolin Town are temporarily handled by Xia Guiren. Xia Guiren had been ordered by Zhou Tong to personally transfer an Ice Spirit Jade Flame Grass to Ruan Zun, so he was more aware of Zhou Tong's thoughts. Therefore, he was exceptionally kind and polite to Ruan Zun.
Li Zhong is the master of the village, but he is mediocre, his spiritual power is low, and he is good at thinking about it. And Zhou Tong has the posture of an overlord, with extraordinary courage, profound spiritual cultivation, and higher ambition than the sky. But he was a younger brother, and he was pressed by Li Zhong on top of his head, holding his breath for too long, because Li Zhong was his sworn brother, he always dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, for fear of chilling the hearts of his brothers.
Ruan Zun killed Li Zhong, so to speak, doing what Zhou Tong always wanted to do, but it was not easy to do. Zhou Tong was very happy, and gave him a high-grade spirit grass in return.
And Xia Guiren understands that if Ruan Zun has been staying in the Young Army, it would be fine, and now he has come to join Zhou Tong in person, and the reasons for this will be greatly deepened with the passage of time, and Zhou Tong's power will be stable. Therefore, he was quite polite to Ruan Zun, and even said that he was courteous.
"Brother Ruan is new here, and now that he has recovered from his injuries, he is officially on duty with you. On this day, Xia Guiren gathered all the four stewards, "Although he is a newcomer, he has already made a name for himself in Qingzhou. Do not bully him. ”
"Where, Master Xia, you are serious. Xie Zongan said, "With the prestige of Brother Ruan Zun, he didn't bully us, thank God." ”
Ruan Zun was slightly embarrassed, and smiled bitterly at him: "Brother Xie is laughing." ”
Chen Adong was on the side, and snorted coldly in his nostrils.
The woman's steward was charming, and her slightly deep gaze swept around Ruan Zun, without saying anything, and she looked quite thoughtful.
After Xia Guiren left, Xie Zongan, as the head of the warehouse, began to arrange shifts for Ruan Zun. On duty this month, You Mei and Chen Adong are on the morning and noon classes, and Ruan Zun and Xie Zongan are on the afternoon and evening classes.
This is still Xie Zongan's responsibility for the night shift in order to take care of Ruan Zun.
Xie Zong'an finished assigning the shift, instructed some matters, and said: "Recently, there have been some situations in the elixir warehouse where the amount of precious elixir and trees do not match. I suspect that there may be people in the pharmacist who have taken them out without permission, and as stewards, we must strengthen supervision and never spare any discoveries. ”
Everyone said yes.
Ruan Zun found that although he said yes, Chen Adong's face was not very natural.
At the time of Shen, Ruan Zun came to the seat of the steward of the elixir warehouse on time and took over from Chen Adong on duty. Douzi snorted, walking at his feet, sniffing in the air from time to time in his nose, obviously very excited about the smell of all kinds of elixirs.
"Why did the succession come so late?" said Chen Adong with an unhappy face.
Ruan Zun looked at the time leak on the table, looked at the sky again, and said with a smile: "Steward Chen, I came according to the hour, and I was not late." You see, this time is missing, and it is not yet time to take over. ”
"I said you're late! It's late!" Chen Adong said angrily, the green tendons on his neck jumping.
Huh? This is obviously looking for ballast? Ruan Zun sank his face. After hearing that Chen Adong was the elder brother of a woman Li Zhong met in the Qinglou, he intuitively felt that there would be no good relationship between himself and him.
I didn't expect things to come so quickly. This guy can't help but be too calm.
"Then what do you want?" Chen Adong's cultivation is only a junior spirit master, Ruan Zun doesn't believe it, he dares to do anything to himself.
"Not good, remind you. Chen Adong said with a cold face, "Don't think that if you kill Li Zhong, Zhou Tong will protect you." Peach Blossom Mountain, not the Peach Blossom Mountain of his Zhou Tong alone, there are many people who can cure him!"
As he spoke, he snorted coldly and strode out from Ruan Zun's side.
Just before he walked by, Douzi poked his nose and sniffed at his side, and then shouted at Chen Adong.
Huh? This guy is weird?
Ruan Zun deeply believed in the smell of beans. Its sense of smell has been thoroughly confirmed in several successful cases in the past.
"Stop!" Ruan Zun stopped Chen Adong.
The latter was obviously a spirit, but he still turned around with a strong composure, and said angrily: "What to do!" Pointing to the beans, "In the elixir warehouse, no dogs are allowed to enter!
Ruan Zun looked up and down at this Chen Adong and perceived it carefully. This guy has no equipment on his body, but on the left side of his waist, there is a slight protrusion, and the protrusion exudes a strong aura of elixir.
Bean's bright little eyes stared at that place.
Thinking of what Xie Zongan said before, the recent theft of the elixir warehouse, Ruan Zun had a plan in his heart, hugged the beans, and smiled at Chen Adong: "Steward Chen is right, it's my fault to bring it in." I'm going to take it out. ”
Leaning over to make the appearance of holding the beans, he secretly carried the spirit shock form, and struck out a spiritual power at the slightly protruding place on Chen Adong's waist.
The spiritual power struck the protrusion, shaking the clothing, and then the object hidden under the clothing fell. It was a medicated paper packet with the head of an unknown black plant exposed.
Douzi lowered his head and ripped open the wrapping of the medicine paper, revealing a piece of He Shou Wulai, which was at least hundreds of years old.
"Steward Chen, what's going on?" asked Ruan Zun.
Chen Adong's face changed greatly, and he looked at Ruan Zun resentfully: "Boy, you have to get along with me on your first day?"
"Steward Chen, you're mistaken. It's not that I can't get along with you, it's that you can't get along with yourself. The guards steal themselves, and it's embarrassing to lose you. Ruan Zun said.
"Ruan Zun. Chen Adong hurriedly went to pick up the He Shou Wu, and there was some pleading in his tone, "You just don't see this, turn around, I'll give you a hundred taels of gold." ”
Ruan Zun was silent, looking at him like a clown.
Chen Adong was desperate, and suddenly shouted: "I know! You and Zhou Tong were both premeditated! You have long wanted to kill Li Zhong and become the boss of the cottage yourself! Now that Li Zhong is dead, you want to get rid of those who are close to him!"
"I'm going to be wiped out by you sooner or later! So, I'll take advantage of the fact that I'm still in charge of things, steal some more elixirs, exchange some money, and fly away from you bastards when the time comes. Am I doing this? Ah, is it wrong?"
Chen Adong actually began to question Ruan Zun.
"It's not right to steal. Ruan Zun said.
"I have worked hard for Taohuashan for so many years, without merit, and with hard work. Now I'm leaving, before I go, take something from it, it's normal!" Chen Adong said in a heartfelt manner.
"This kind of person, what nonsense are you talking to him. When he was caught stealing the spirit grass, he should have killed him with a sword. ”
At this time, behind Ruan Zun, a woman's voice sounded leisurely.
