After Pi Qinghua spoke about the mark in an extremely affirmative tone, Xu Guozheng's face finally revealed a look of humiliation and anger.
Although he was sure that there were no marks on the ginseng skin he saw last night, he could not hand in the two pieces of ginseng skin for inspection now. His intuition was never wrong, and there must be something wrong with the two pieces of ginseng skin.
"What a joke! Who do you think I am? Who do you think you are? Why should I hand over my treasured ginseng peels just because of a word from you? What if you are plotting against me? Wouldn't that make me innocent?" Xu Guozheng said seriously, "You'd better apologize to me quickly. Since you were recommended by Mr. An, we will not expel you from the Chinese medicine community. But you still have to reflect on yourself!"
Xu Guozheng still refused to repent and even bit back. His attitude made many onlookers think that he had something to hide. But even so, what could be done? Pi Qinghua's words were not enough. As long as Xu Guozheng didn't hand over the two pieces of ginseng skin, Pi Qinghua would have no way to deal with it.
Unless? Someone snatched the two pieces of ginseng skin from Xu Guozheng's hands. But who would be so shameless in front of everyone
There really is someone here.
Just when the atmosphere began to stalemate, Lang Yixing took action again. Xu Guozheng was on guard against him, after all, it was he who exposed the two appraisers just now. But no matter how much Xu Guozheng guarded against him, compared with President Lang who had become a boss in extremely dangerous areas such as the Triangle, Xu Guozheng was just a scum with a combat effectiveness of minus five. He felt his wrist go numb, and the next moment the two pieces of ginseng skin he was holding tightly slipped out of his hand.
"You! How could you rob my things in broad daylight?!" Xu Guozheng's voice changed.
But President Langda just gave him a cold and mocking look: "It's not like you're forcibly seizing a woman. You're not excited at all."
Xu Guozheng felt so frightened by the look on his face that he couldn't utter a word.
Lang Yixing did not give the snatched ginseng skin directly to Pi Qinghua. Instead, he handed the ginseng skin to an old man with silver hair and sitting in a wheelchair among the ten masters.
"You watch first. Then let them both talk."
Xu Guozheng's face darkened. "What are you talking about? Old Wang will never work with a bandit like you! Old Wang, please return my things to me."
As a result, the old master who looked quite serious just laughed and said: "Whatever falls into my hands is mine. Do you have any evidence to prove that it is yours?"
The people around collectively gasped, and suddenly the way they looked at this person changed.
Damn, it is said that this person is a god-like Chinese medicine expert who is comparable to a national player! It is said that his legs were deliberately broken by the King of Hell because he fought with the King of Hell for too many people! How can such a person be painted like this! Shouldn't he be a highly respected person
Xu Guozheng also looked incredulous: "Mr. Wang, don't joke."
Old Wang also nodded: "I'm not kidding. Since this is a treasure you have treasured for several years, you naturally know its characteristics. And that kid also said that the ginseng skin is his, so he must also know the characteristics of his things. Since the two of you are arguing so much, why not talk about it. Anyway, what is yours will not run away, and what is not yours will not be obtained no matter how hard you try."
After hearing what Wang Lao said, the people watching understood what Wang Lao meant. They also thought that this move was really a good one. Before, the initiative was in Xu Guozheng's hands, so he had the final say. He didn't want to verify others and there was no way to force him. But now the initiative has been in Wang Lao's hands. If Xu Guozheng still wants to keep his position and things in front of everyone, he must compete with that young man. Unless someone suddenly snatches the ginseng skin for Xu Guozheng like the tall man just now, but it is really difficult to have an accident again.
If Xu Guozheng still didn't understand what Wang Lao meant, then he wouldn't have to continue. Even if he knew, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. Now, he had to agree. If he left, it would confirm all his suspicions. He couldn't bear that result. Thinking about how he really carefully examined every detail on the ginseng skin last night, Xu Guozheng gritted his teeth and said, "I can be sure that there are no regular marks on my two pieces of ginseng skin."
Then he looked at Pi Qinghua, "Are you the same as me?"
Xu Guozheng was playing a word game here, he said there were no regular marks, so if there was only a scratch on the ginseng skin, it would not count. After all, it was normal for a thousand-year-old ginseng skin to have a scratch, wasn't it
However, Pi Qinghua was not as disappointed as Xu Guozheng thought. Pi Qinghua just looked at him calmly and said, "Vice President Xu, are you sure you won't change?"
Xu Guozheng was annoyed by what he said: "Of course I won't change! Don't waste time, if you can't figure it out, just accept the punishment you deserve!"
Pi Qinghua nodded: "On the lower right corner of my ginseng skin, there are two small circles. Mr. Wang, you can take a look at the lower right corners of the two ginseng skins to see if there are any. If not, then it is not mine. But I can be sure that the five-year-old ginseng skin is definitely not mine."
Wang nodded and put on his reading glasses to examine it carefully. After a while, he handed one of the pieces to another master beside him, and the remaining nine people looked at it. Then he looked at Xu Guozheng.
Wang Lao's expression was no longer as gentle as before, and he looked at Xu Guozheng with a bit of sternness: "Do you have anything to say?"
Xu Guozheng suddenly felt as if he had been poured with cold water, his whole body was icy cold. This sentence was almost a death sentence for him. So he suddenly screamed wildly. "I remember! There are also two circles on the lower right corner of my ginseng skin! Both are round and the same size! I just forgot before!" Then he looked at Pi Qinghua fiercely: "You! You must have secretly looked at my ginseng skin!"
After hearing his words, the nine judges on the stand frowned even deeper. One of the old men, who seemed to have a bad temper, snorted, "What a shame for us!"
Xu Guozheng paused abruptly. He didn't know what he had said wrong again? Why did everyone look at him with even more contempt and suspicion after he said that? !
Then he heard a voice coldly say: "I'm sorry, there are two concentric circles on my ginseng skin, one large and one small. They are not the same size. I wonder if you remembered it wrong this time, too?"
At this point, the onlookers finally understood the truth, and boos at Xu Guozheng filled almost the entire venue.
Someone was so angry that he shouted, "He's the youngest and most promising vice president! This is such a disgrace! I've never seen such a shameless person!"
"Yeah, yeah! You're so old and still have the nerve to steal other people's things. Not only did you steal other people's things, but you also bit back! It's really disgusting!"
"Xu Guozheng, get out of the TCM community! People like you don't deserve to be a doctor! I go to you for treatment and I'm afraid you'll suddenly take a fancy to my kidney and sell it to me!!"
Then, the words "Xu Guozheng should get out of the traditional Chinese medicine community" spread quickly throughout the venue as if it were contagious.
Xu Guozheng's face was red at this time, and he stared at Pi Qinghua with bloodshot eyes until he was dragged away. Then, everything became simple. The two appraisers quickly told Xu Guozheng's calculations and promises to them under the stares of everyone, especially the stares of a certain wolf boss, and cried that they were just temporarily confused and did not do it on purpose. But at this time, it was too late for them to turn back, and they were soon dragged away.
The Chinese Medicine Association had originally planned to deal with Xu Guozheng and the others on their own, but unfortunately there was a very powerful president, Langda, next to Pi Qinghua. When someone wanted to come over to protect them, they were slapped away by President Langda.
"Heh, that Xu Guozheng stole the herbs and then bit back. We plan to sue him. If anyone dares to cover up for this, I will kill them all. Do you believe it?"
Lang Yixing's evil smile has been the biggest nightmare in the hearts of people in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association for a long time.
Finally, Pi Qinghua got his ginseng skin that had been split in two. After testing, it was confirmed that it was really a thousand-year-old salvia skin. It was just that it was deliberately split into two pieces, and the corners were changed, so the size was damaged. Pi Qinghua looked at it and didn't care too much. In fact, he can still get a thousand-year-old ginseng skin, but he will have to spend five to ten days to do it. This time, he can deal with Xu Guozheng properly, so it is worthwhile to lose some ginseng skin.
Then, when Pi Qinghua came back to his senses, he suddenly found that there was a circle of people around him. These people were looking at him as if he were a ginseng. Even though he was wearing a big mask, he felt a little unbearable.
"… What can I do for you?"
The eyes of the people surrounding Pi Qinghua lit up at the same time, and they almost swarmed around and asked:
"Mr. Xiao Pi! Are you going to sell this ginseng bark? Our pharmacy will give you two hundred thousand!"
"Bah! You have the nerve to come out and embarrass yourself for 200,000?! We'll give you 300,000! Sell the ginseng skin to us!"
"Three hundred thousand is nothing! Mr. Pi, we'll give you five hundred thousand! Five hundred thousand! That's a very high price! Give it to us!"
"Get out of the way! My master said one million! My master is a gangster, if you rob him you will know the consequences!"
Pi Qinghua was speechless for a moment as he looked at the bidders, but the corners of his mouth, which were covered by his mask, rose. Although it was a bit tortuous, this was the effect he wanted.
The bidders were still bidding when Pi Qinghua suddenly raised his head, walked to the side of Mr. Wang, and respectfully handed him half a piece of ginseng peel.
"Thank you so much this time. If it weren't for your help, this matter would be much more troublesome for me."
Seeing Pi Qinghua's respectful attitude, Wang Lao's eyes flashed with surprise. Judging from his reaction just now, this kid is not a good person. Moreover, it was just a small favor, and Pi Qinghua thanked him with half a piece of ginseng peel, which was really a bit heavy.
So, Mr. Wang pondered for a moment and let his apprentice accept the half ginseng skin.
"I need to treat a friend recently, and his illness really requires 500-year-old wild salvia ginseng. But wild salvia ginseng is really rare, so I won't refuse your ginseng peel. But this thank you gift is too heavy, young man, I can agree to one more request of yours, as long as it's not too much, you can say whatever you want."
All of a sudden, those who were originally envious of Elder Wang began to envy Pi Qinghua. Elder Wang is a national player! Now he almost doesn't treat illnesses anymore! How lucky is Pi Qinghua! Usually, there is almost no injury that Elder Wang can't cure!
Pi Qinghua didn't expect this person to be so fair. Then he felt that he had thought too much. After all, doctors are kind-hearted. I think most of the doctors are good people like Uncle An.
So Pi Qinghua began to struggle. Should he exchange this request for a thousand bags of blood, or ask this national player to look at his face and half of his shoulder? Face or life, this is really a question.
At this moment, Pi Qinghua suddenly felt restless and looked up at the entrance not far away. A figure that he would recognize even if it was burned to ashes appeared in front of him. He closed his eyes tightly and bowed to Mr. Wang.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I haven't made up my mind yet. Can you give me a few days to think about it? I'll come back to you in three days."
Mr. Wang also thought this was a normal request, so he smiled and nodded. In the end, he couldn't help but advise: "Young man, no matter how big the matter is, it is not more important than your own health. Don't be too stubborn."
Pi Qinghua paused after hearing this, then nodded deeply.
