"It's my fault, Shiba Niang..." he said with his hands raised.
She didn't expect him to admit it so happily. The big words that Gu Shiba Niang had originally prepared were no longer needed. From this point of view, the matter was easier to handle than she thought, so she said calmly: "Shopkeeper Peng is okay." A cheerful person.”
"Eighteen Niang, this is ten taels of silver. It was originally given to you...Old Peng, I have nothing to say. Just take this." Peng Yizhen took out a money bag from his arms and handed it to Gu Shi Banniang.
"Is this the compensation you will give me after the incident is completed?" Gu Shiba Niang looked at the money bag but did not reach out.
Peng Yizhen looked a little embarrassed and said nothing.
"If I guessed correctly, Mr. Peng would have known that Shopkeeper Zhou had prepared fake medicine for me?" Gu Shiba Niang asked.
Peng Yizhen did not deny it.
"Mr. Peng also knew that Shopkeeper Zhou asked me to buy fake medicine. Was he going to concoct it and sell it to you? Then he took the opportunity to report it to the government, killing two birds with one stone?" Gu Shiba Niang asked again.
Anger appeared on Peng Yizhen's face and he nodded, "That's right, I originally only had a small dispute with him, but he dared to do this. This bitch is really a cruel and shameless person..."
Gu Shiba Niang interrupted him with a smile, looked at him and said: "Then Mr. Peng naturally accepted the fake medicine I sold you, and then found a way to stuff it to Shopkeeper Zhou, and beat him up when he reported it? I just don’t know how Mr. Peng gave it to Shopkeeper Zhou?”
This little girl reacts so quickly! Peng Yizhen couldn't help but be curious. Instead of answering her question, he asked: "How did you know? Could it be that you knew about me from the beginning..."
His face was full of surprise and disbelief.
"There's nothing surprising about this," Gu Shiba Niang said, "It's actually very simple. I just think that no one in this world will be nice to you for no reason."
Peng Yizhen was silent, this is a simple truth, but when you think about the facts, it is indeed the case. However, many times, people forget this. He nodded and laughed at himself, "It turns out that the little lady was guarding against me from the beginning. , I thought…”
He chuckled and didn't say the rest.
Gu Shiba Niang also smiled, "What do you think? You think I am a child who can be coaxed easily?"
Peng Yizhen smiled in acquiescence, and at the same time looked at the little girl in disbelief, and said with some frustration: "I can't even coax a little girl like you, so it's really useless, what else are we talking about..."
He stopped talking and did not say any more. His voice was low and his face was slumped. He handed over the bag of money again and said, "It's my fault this time, Lao Peng. If you take this, I don't dare to say whether you forgive or not..." .”
"You really shouldn't say forgiveness..." Gu Shiba Niang looked solemn, her hands hanging by her sides and clenching them tightly, "Have you ever thought about what will happen to me if you succeed?"
He said with a sad smile, "Can your ten taels of silver make up for it?"
This time, no matter whether shopkeeper Zhou succeeded or Peng succeeded with a shot, Gu Shiba Niang, who was the first to handle the counterfeit medicine and concocted it and sold it, could not escape the blame. She would be fined at least and reprimanded by the official, and at worst. She will be jailed, but no matter whether it is light or serious, Gu Shiba Niang will never want to deal with the medicine business again in the future.
Peng Yizhen's expression was stern, his eyes were evasive, and he lowered his head and said: "Actually... you are a little girl, and you are a rich lady... It's okay if you don't do this medicinal material business..."
"Don't do it?" Gu Shiba Niang suddenly raised her voice, her expression was excited, and her eye circles were a little red.
Who knows how difficult the life of their orphans and widowers will be
Who knows what terrible fate awaits them
Medicinal materials are her only life-saving straw at the moment.
"You are doing this to cut off my livelihood..." Gu Shiba Niang murmured.
If anyone wants to cut off my way of living, I will cut off his way of living.
"..Anyway, it's my fault. Miss Gu, you...sigh..." Peng Yizhen said with a sad expression, and forced the money in his hand to her, "...Fortunately you didn't buy it...it won't affect your future." …”
"Mr. Peng has a grudge against Shopkeeper Zhou?" Gu Shiba Niang suddenly asked.
When Peng Yizhen heard this, his decadent expression burst out with anger. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and uttered a few words, "...that bitch is worse than a beast..."
But with only these few words, he stopped talking, waved his hand and turned around to leave.
Gu Shiba Niang looked at Peng Yiyi's tall and sturdy back, hunched over, as if her strength had been drained away in an instant. What kind of deep hatred should that be
"Mr. Peng." She took a few steps to catch up with him and shook the money. "This money is not enough."
Peng Yizhen was stunned for a moment, and then a wry smile appeared. He had forgotten that this little girl would not suffer easily, so he stretched out his hand to touch her body.
"How much money did you bring?" Gu Shiba Niang asked.
This little lady really asked a lot of questions...
Peng Yizhen weighed the silver in his hand, smiled bitterly, and said: "There is only so much... If it is not enough, I will get more when I go home..."
"No, that's enough, just for show..." Gu Shiba Niang smiled, threw another piece of silver in her hand to Peng Yizhen, and shook her head, "Let's go."
Peng Yizhen was stunned, "Where are you going?"
"Buying medicine." Gu Shiba Niang said with a smile, but her smile was not bright at this time.
"Buy medicine?" Peng Yizhen asked in confusion, "What medicine should I buy?"
"Fake medicine." Gu Shiba Niang turned around and smiled.
Peng Yizhen came back to his senses with a very strange expression. He walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Gu Shiba Niang and said seriously: "Miss Gu, you don't have to do anything for me..."
"For you?" Gu Shiba Niang laughed and looked at Peng Yizhen. How come this man's mind is simpler than that of a child
Peng Yizhen also felt that what he said was a bit unreasonable, but he couldn't find any other thoughts to understand the little girl's behavior, so he was speechless.
"You do it for you, I do it for me..." Gu Shiba Niang said with a meaningful smile, "So, let's cooperate."
"What kind of cooperation?" Peng Yizhen was completely confused now and could only listen to one sentence and ask another.
"This..." Gu Shiba Niang threw a piece of Qin leather in her hand to him.
Peng Yizhen took it and looked at her, puzzled.
"Recognize it." Gu Shiba Niang said.
"I recognize it." Peng Yizhen nodded and turned it over in his hand, "Qin Pi."
"Okay, let's go over now. As for Polygala, we still want to buy it, but we have to find a way to get Shopkeeper Zhou to buy this..." Gu Shiba Niang pointed to the Qin Pi held in his hand, "We want him to buy this. Best, buy as much as you can…”
Peng Yizhen looked at her in confusion. He was not a stupid person. He quickly came to his senses with a look of shock and disbelief.
"Is this...is...a fake?" He lowered his head, wishing to see through the Qinpi in his hand.
That's right, it's groove-shaped, black on the outside and yellow on the inside, with a slight breath...
He put it in his mouth and took a bite. It tasted bitter.
"Fake," Gu Shiba Niang only said without explaining.
Thinking that this little girl could tell that Polygala was fake, Peng Yizhen chose to believe her words. Speaking of which, if he hadn't known about it in advance, he wouldn't have been able to tell that Polygala was fake.
"Miss Gu, have you really never learned from a master?" He asked in confusion. Identifying medicinal materials is not an easy task, and a master who does not have certain experience will never be able to recognize it.
"No, where should I go to become a disciple?" Gu Shiba Niang said with a smile.
That's right, she is a young lady from a scholar's family. Peng Yizhen nodded, but still felt puzzled.
"By God's blessing, I am lucky enough to recognize these two." Gu Shiba Niang murmured.
Peng Yizhen naturally didn't believe this. How could such a coincidence happen in the world? But seeing that she obviously didn't want to talk more, some sects had weird rules, so she kept her mouth shut knowingly.
"Let's go." Gu Shiba Niang said, "Remember, you must let him buy Qin Pi."
"No problem... No one is better at trying to squeeze that old boy than me... But..." Peng Yizhen followed her and whispered, "Does that bitch know that this is also fake? How could he buy it? "
"That doesn't matter. If he doesn't buy it, we won't buy it either..." Gu Shiba Niang said easily and smiled, "Now, he is in the light and we are in the dark, everything is up to us.
