"Going to court?" Ms. Cao's face became even paler. If she went to court, her daughter's reputation would be completely over. Regardless of whether she was guilty or not, her figure was shaking.
Gu Shiba Niang stretched out her hand to support her.
"No, no, I'm going to Peng Yizhen Pharmacy in Hezhong County." The official said hurriedly, "Just ask a few questions."
"Okay, I'll go with you." Gu Shiba Niang nodded and said.
This young lady had a calm look on her face, as if everyone was talking about the good weather today. Several businessmen looked at her twice and saw that she was poorly dressed, elegant and had a faint smile on her face.
Most people would feel uneasy when facing official servants like them who suddenly came to their door, not to mention the delicate little ladies, their legs would be so weak that they would be unable to stand.
Everyone thought about the little lady's background, that they were all rough people who had never read books, so everyone agreed in their hearts that girls raised by educated families were different.
"Eighteen Niang," Mrs. Cao bit her lower lip uneasily.
"Mom, it's okay. We didn't do anything wrong. What's there to be afraid of?" Gu Shiba Niang smiled and held Cao's hand with her backhand. "Maybe something happened to Shopkeeper Peng's medicine shop. I provided him with medicinal materials. Naturally It’s okay to go and be questioned.”
Mrs. Cao looked at her daughter's peaceful smile and suddenly felt a little ashamed. She seemed to be less calm than her daughter.
"Okay," she nodded, "Mom will go with you."
Seeing Cao's mother and daughter leaving with official duties, the street suddenly exploded. Everyone didn't understand what was going on, and they were in chaos for a while.
"The Gu family is in trouble..."
"The Gu family's daughter killed someone..."
"Bah, they are selling fake medicine, how can your ears hear..."
A young man standing outside Qianjin Hall watching the excitement spat out the melon seeds in his mouth and said loudly: "Isn't selling fake medicine the same as killing people?"
Yes, yes, everyone nods together, isn’t it? Anyone who takes medicine is sick, and what he ends up taking is a fake medicine. It’s not life-threatening!
After the last incident at Qianjintang, everyone on the street basically knew that this young lady from the Gu family was selling medicine to make a living.
"I never expected that such a little girl would do such a sinful thing. Even if she died of poverty and starvation, she still wouldn't be able to earn such money..." An old man shook his head with a sad look on his face.
"Mr. Gu was the most generous, kind and sincere to others during his lifetime. I didn't expect this..." Everyone sighed repeatedly.
"No! No way!" Douhua shouted in the crowd, "The Eighteenth Mother wouldn't sell fake medicine!"
"Why not?" Someone pointed at Qianjintang and said, "I remember there was trouble in Qianjintang before. Didn't I say she was selling fake medicines?"
At this moment, everyone thought of it and looked at Qianjintang.
"Then the little lady of the Gu family has also sold them medicines. Isn't it possible that they also have fake medicines?"
Unexpectedly, the trouble would lead to them. The young man was a little panicked. He threw down the melon seeds in his hand and hurriedly said with his hands on his hips: "No, we haven't dealt with her since that time when she was exposed for selling fake medicine!"
"Huh? Didn't you say last time that the medicine she sold to you was not fake? Your shopkeeper also gave her a lot of money!" Someone asked in confusion.
The boy got more and more confused as he talked, and he lost his mind, so he kept talking nonsense, such as she begged us to keep quiet, our shopkeeper was kind-hearted, and so on, which made everyone half-believe it.
"Bah! Don't spread rumors here to cause trouble! It's obvious that you Qianjintang bullied others and coaxed them to sell you medicine at a low price, and Eighteenth Mother found out!" Douhua shouted in a loud voice, "Who said Eighteenth Mother sells fake medicines? ? The official said that it was the drug store that sold fake medicine, not that Shiba Niang sold it, so what are you shouting about? "
The boy snorted and ran out of excuses, so he could only say that it would be no good if the official came to see her anyway, and the official would not come looking for her for no reason.
Both of these views are reasonable, and for a while there was a lot of discussion on the street about everything.
"Huh, the official is looking for her, she is just selling fake medicine? Huh, don't worry, they are all pharmacies, maybe the official will come to you again!" Douhua shook his hand angrily, and the bean dregs splashed everywhere, and then squeezed out The crowd ran away.
The boy from Qianjintang was so angry at these words that he pointed at her back and cursed her before going in angrily.
Zhang Dahu walked past the people who were talking in twos and threes and walked into Qianjin Hall.
In the Qianjin Hall, shopkeeper Zhou was still pulling the strings as usual.
"Congratulations to Shopkeeper Zhou for making your dream come true..." Zhang Dahu narrowed his eyes and smiled, and the fat on his neck trembled with the smile.
"Same joy, same joy." Shopkeeper Zhou put away his calculations with a smile.
"I said that when you open a pharmacy in Hezhong County, will you be able to make enough money?" Zhang Dahu asked with a smile as he sat down.
Shopkeeper Zhou glanced at him. Ever since Zhang Dahu came to the door and worked out the frame-up method, he knew that this old boy's purpose was not just to force the Gu family and his daughter to sell the house.
He smiled knowingly and without hesitation, he opened his mouth and said: "You seven and I three."
Zhang Dahu immediately narrowed his eyes.
Shopkeeper Zhou glanced at him and said unhurriedly: "The profit is seven to me and three to you."
Zhang Dahu's eyes suddenly widened, "How do you calculate this? I paid so much but got so little... Besides, I paid all the money for the fake drug dealer this time..."
"Okay, then you will run it, and I won't take a penny." Shopkeeper Zhou said slowly.
Zhang Dahu smiled bitterly. Shopkeeper Zhou didn't want a penny, so of course he couldn't pay a penny. He didn't know that this old guy was stingy and vindictive at best. Even if he bought Peng Yizhen's pharmacy this week, The shopkeeper will definitely open another one in Hezhong County.
He doesn't want to be a rival with him! Thinking about what would happen to Peng Yizhen, Zhang Dahu shuddered.
He originally went to find Manager Zhou just to hope that Manager Zhou could make use of Gu Shibaniang's fake medicine to make a fuss. He inadvertently mentioned that he had seen someone buy fake medicine. Unexpectedly, Manager Zhou immediately came up with this plan to kill two birds with one stone based on this sentence.
No, maybe he killed three birds with one stone. Zhang Dahu thought for a moment while touching his fat neck, and felt that he was one of the ones being plotted in this incident.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, are you kidding me? I don't know how to run a drug store..." Zhang Dahu laughed and said, "Three is the best." If he can get the Gu family's house this time, he will make enough money to prepare fake medicines for himself. The money and the seven shares given to shopkeeper Zhou, after calculation, these three points of income are in vain!
What a deal!
"I don't know much about Shopkeeper Zhou. I just happen to know that there is such a fake medicine... It seems there will be no problem." Zhang Dahu asked in a low voice.
"What's the problem? The medicine is fake. She bought it and sold it. What else can be wrong?" Shopkeeper Zhou sneered and pushed the counter in his hand on the table with a snap, "This time the two of them I can’t even explain it even if I’m covered in words!”
As he spoke, he twirled his beard and looked out the window, feeling happy for no reason, "This time the two of them want to escape, unless..."
"Unless what?" Zhang Dahu asked hurriedly.
"Unless the medicine she bought was not fake..." Shopkeeper Zhou laughed.
This is another joke.
"This is impossible..." Zhang Dahu also laughed, "How is it possible
