Chapter 22: The Counterfeit Drug Scandal
"Returns?"
The living environment of Situ Feng's brother and sister can be said to be four walls, and there is no goods at hand to sell, so how can others come to return the goods?
For the shouting at the door, Ling Xiao suddenly felt confused. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Who?"
Situ Xue didn't appear surprised, as if she had a rough estimate of the identity of the person who came to call the door. But looking at his complexion, it is not difficult to find a little worry in it.
"Hurry up and open the door! I don't want any of these things!"
Syllable!
Syllable!
was asked by Situ Xue like this, and the tone of the person standing outside the door became even more irritable and impatient, and he directly kicked the two doors with his feet.
"Stop kicking, here you go!"
The elm door was not very strong in the first place, and at this moment, it was even more crumbling under the torture of the comer, and the mud skin on both sides of the door frame was turned out again and again. If the knocking situation continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before this small room will end up with no door.
Out of distress for the wooden door, Situ Xue quickly jumped off the hospital bed, took three steps and trotted towards the door.
Squeak!
As the door opened, a bald old man holding half a bundle of herbs with a stiff but implicit color slowly entered the sight of the three of them.
This person was wearing a satin cotton suit, about five feet tall, with triangular eyes and a hooked nose, and a strand of messy hair fluttering on his head in the wind, giving people a sense of wind and dust. However, combined with a huge copper ring hanging from the earlobe of his right ear, there is a thick and unruly aura that exudes from it.
Just as Ling Xiao carefully glanced at the visitor, the person who came pulled the thin Situ Xue and began to reveal his fierce face.
"Okay, you cheap girl, Lao Tzu saw that you were pitiful and spent money to buy the herbs you picked up on the mountain, but I didn't expect that you would mix weeds in the herbs, trying to get away with the fake and the real! Hurry up and hand over the ten taels of silver that Lao Tzu handed you that day!"
Long-term malnutrition and mental fatigue in recent days, Situ Xue is naturally very weak. was pinched so hard by the old man, and five bruises immediately appeared on Situ Xue's arm, which was not thick.
"Uncle Mori, when I sold you medicinal herbs that day, you tested them one by one. We've been working together for two or three months, when have I ever done that kind of deceptive thing? Besides, there are a total of 35 medicinal herbs, and a total of 5 taels of silver were sold, when did you give me 10 taels of silver?"
Situ Xue was in pain, beads of sweat quickly appeared on her face, and she couldn't help struggling to escape the man's iron fist. However, he is not a monk, and his strength is too small, so he tried several times, but all of them ended in failure.
"Old guy surnamed Mo, you hurry up and let go of Xiaoxue! Explain something clearly, dare to do anything to Xiaoxue again, be careful that Lao Tzu plucks out the few hairs left on your head!"
Ling Xiao heard it clearly, he dared to love that this guy was here to blackmail Situ Xue!
When I looked at the blue miniature word "Chu" faintly embroidered on his sleeve, my heart suddenly felt like a mirror.
This guy must have been sent by Chu Yunhe!
If he didn't guess wrong, Chu Yunhe must have jumped to his feet in anger at this moment, and even had the intention of killing himself. Otherwise, how could he send such an old fellow to provoke?
What a vicious Chu Yunhe!
It's okay if he doesn't move this old guy, once he can't help but beat him with anger, I'm afraid that within a stick of incense, Chu Yunhe will have to come and make decisions for him with great momentum!
What herbs are mixed with weeds, it is completely a crime of random placement!
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao slightly suppressed the anger in his heart, and turned to quickly dissipate a strong cultivation!
Although the Eight Layers of the Qi Gathering Realm are not strong, in front of this old guy who is not a fart, it is enough to scare him into urine!
Sure enough, after seeing Ling Xiao showing a fierce appearance of wanting to eat people, the old man called Mo Li by Situ Xue quickly let go of his clenched palm, and then fell in love with Ling Xiao with an unwilling expression.
"What's the matter? It's reasonable to sell me fake medicine? Don't think that your cultivation is high, in this city, there is still the Chu patriarch who will call the shots for me!"
"I didn't sell counterfeit medicines, I didn't adulterate them with herbs!"
Situ Xueqiao's face flushed with anger, and she tried her best to suppress her crying and shouted.
"You said that Xiaoxue adulterated this herb, is there any evidence?"
Pulling Situ Xue behind him, Ling Xiao's face was suddenly covered with a layer of frost, and he asked the old man Mo Li coldly.
On that day, Situ Xue said that he was in a hurry to use the money, and sold the herbs that were originally worth seven yuan of silver to me for five yuan. At that time, Xiao Yue of the Chu clan was present on the side, and she could testify! After selling the herbs, Situ Xue hurriedly left, and I was sorting the herbs on the side! On the way to sort, I was dizzy and didn't know what was going on, or if I was reminded by Xiao Yue! If you don't believe it, we can ask her to testify!"
Old man Mo Li seemed to have expected Ling Xiao to have such a statement, and when he saw his cunning eyes roll, he told the story of what happened that day.
"I don't have to look for it, I already know what the whole thing is all about. Xiaoxue is young and not very familiar with some herbs, even if she mistakes wild grass for medicinal herbs, it can be considered forgivable. However, it is clear that the herb was sold for five yuan, why do you want to ask Xiaoxue for ten taels of silver?
Ling Xiao took a deep breath, his angry expression disappeared in an instant, and he was replaced by a harmless smile on his face.
"If she hadn't sent the herbs that day, I would have gone somewhere else to pick them up? I thought she would have enough herbs to sell, but after picking them, I realized that less than a third of the things could be sold. Being fooled by her like this, my time to buy the goods was gone, and the profit from selling the medicine that day plummeted, and I directly lost more than 20 taels of silver! If it weren't for the fact that she was still young, I would have to ask for at least 30 taels of silver!"
Old man Mo Li glanced at Ling Xiao and said even more arrogantly.
"Oh, I see. Isn't it just twenty taels, Xiaoxue can't take it out, I'll give you the money for her. Well, this is twenty taels of silver, take it and get out of ......."
After taking out a silver ingot from the silver bag tied around his waist and throwing it on the ground, Ling Xiao spread his hands very unceremoniously towards the old man Moli, expressing a strong intention to send off the guest.
"Hmph! Situ Xue, from now on, the whole city will know about your deception, don't you hope that there will be people in the medicinal herb shops in this city who will accept your herbs again!
Although he was scolding and dissatisfied, Old Man Morry quickly bent down to pick up the silver that had fallen on the ground in his arms before going out......
"Brother Ling Xiao, I really didn't adulterate the herbs......"
Almost at the moment when the obscene figure of the old man disappeared, Situ Xue sat on the ground weakly, and the tears in her eyes were like beads with broken threads, crackling and smashing down......
