It was just after [3:00 pm], and it is reasonable to say that it was the time to buy and sell, but Wang Ergou, the shop assistant of Ruyifang Wuya Pharmacy, was lying on the counter, with a posture of 'it's good to fall asleep in autumn'.
But the always mean shopkeeper Wu and his wife didn't even mean to blame him for it.
This is because the people of the capital love to seek good luck, so the first day of every month is the most deserted time for the pharmacy of the hospital. Even the regular customers who cannot stop the medicine will buy a few days' worth in advance, and they will never be willing to do so on the first day of the month. To touch the mold.
Only those who have an emergency, or who do not pay attention to their lives, will choose to buy medicines at the pharmacy on the first day of the new year.
Over time, the first day of the new year has also become a good day for apprentices in the pharmacy to sneak away from their busy schedules.
bump!
Wang Ergou was dozing off when a loud noise suddenly came from his ear, and he jumped up three feet high, holding the medicine jar to take a closer look. Target middle-aged strong men.
As for the movement just now, it was the middle-aged man who slapped the counter.
Before Wang Ergou could take a closer look, the man scolded, "What? Why does a guisun still want to beat people?! Come on, I want to see, the people of the capital can still beat people. What kind of bullying!"
This non-local accent spoke in a hurry and fast, Wang Ergou barely listened to it, but seeing that he was staring at the medicine jar in his hand, and his face was disheveled, he roughly guessed what it was.
Needless to say, it must be a newcomer from outside the city, who was tricked by the rogues in the capital, so he was full of resentment.
Although there was some gloating in his heart, Wang Ergou didn't dare to provoke him indiscriminately, he hurriedly put down the medicine jar in his hand, and asked casually, "What kind of medicine do you want to catch?"
Snapped!
The out-of-town man slapped the counter again, shook the medicine jar up high, and when he raised his hand again, there were already more prescriptions on the table.
"That's it, look at it!"
Damn outsider!
Wang Ergou cursed inwardly, picked up the prescription and glanced at it, but found that the words on the prescription were blurred by sweat, and it was difficult to distinguish it no matter how hard he tried.
He couldn't help frowning and said, "Master Ke, your recipe is covered in sweat, I'm afraid you have to go back and ask for another one."
"What? Missing!"
As soon as the man heard this, the blue veins on his neck swelled up, spitting Xingzi exclaimed, "I'm waiting for the medicine to save my life. If I delay my brother's life, can the family afford it?!"
Saying that, he grabbed Wang Ergou's collar and shouted loudly to order him to quickly prepare the medicine.
Wang Ergou said that the man just didn't listen, and he tore at random, and the movement became louder and louder, and soon alarmed the shopkeeper Wu and his wife in the backyard.
The proprietress held Wang Ergou, and the shopkeeper Wu stopped the out-of-town man, and asked the cause and effect of the cause and effect. Don't worry, this recipe should be written by Dr. Liu from Huichuntang, he often asks people to take medicine from us, even if the handwriting is vague, I can roughly see it."
As he said that, he took the paper money and re-transcribed the recipe, and then asked Wang Ergou to prepare the medicine and hand it over to the out-of-town man. heat."
Seeing him so amiable, the non-local man's attitude softened at the moment.
He said 'thank you' a few times in a row. After asking the price, he hurriedly took out two copper coins from his belt. After counting the 1510, he handed it to the proprietress Xu, and he was careful with the rest of the money. After wrapping it up, I hurried out of the pharmacy and went in a slanted wind.
"Bah, an eye-opening thing!"
Wang Ergou chased after the door and spat, turned around and said with a smile: "You still know how to do business, and you charged twice the amount of money you asked for, but you are so grateful for those two fools."
But Manager Wu's face sank, and he scolded: "Monkey boy, if I can't see it at a glance, you will cause trouble for me! There are not many guests around today. If you can't carry it, don't even think about eating!"
Having said that, regardless of how Wang Ergou pleaded, Tong Xu returned to the backyard again.
There are two flowers, one on each side.
But he said that the out-of-town man who bought medicine ran out two streets, and then crossed the alley through the alley. When he arrived at a dilapidated courtyard, he knocked on the door a few times.
The door to the courtyard opened in response, and a woman in plain clothes and hairpins flashed out, welcoming the man into the main room.
As soon as he crossed the threshold, the man immediately knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and greeted him: "Yang Licai, the humble post, I have seen Lord Qianhu!"
This voice is round and round, and it is the most authentic Beijing dialect.
Seeing this dark and cramped room, six or seven dragon guards were crowded, and there was a majestic man sitting on a bench in the center, but who else could it be if it wasn't Sun Shaozong
Sun Shaozong leaned forward slightly: "How about it, you have already seen everything you should see?"
"seen."
Yang Licai hurriedly said: "According to the instructions of the adults, I pretended to be a foreigner full of grievances, and it really led the shopkeeper Wu and his wife out."
After speaking, he couldn't help but sneer: "Then the shopkeeper Wu really hides the knife in his smile. Look at the foreigner who just arrived, and the special mother has charged twice as much for the medicine!"
Sun Shaozong didn't pay much attention to these trivial matters. He waved his hand and instructed, "It's not too late, Yang Baihu should choose someone first."
As soon as the voice fell, a woman's voice came from the inside, but the content was a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and there was no point at all.
And when the woman finished speaking, another woman spoke.
Just like this, the five women in a row made high-pitched or soft voices, and then there was silence again.
Yang Licai immediately said firmly: "The fourth and fourth voices are the most like that of Mrs. Xu."
Before he finished speaking, a woman picked up the curtain and came out from the inside, with a figure and appearance that were three-points similar to that of Mrs. Wu.
Then Yang Licai drew the gourd again, and chose the man with the most similar voice to Shopkeeper Wu.
When the two of them went to the outside world, Yang Licai pointed out a few obvious loopholes, and the spy next to him, who was skilled in disguising, stepped forward and made some repairs. It was not until Yang Licai felt that there were five or six points alike, so he gave up temporarily.
"Try it."
At this time, Sun Shaozong raised his hand, and the scouts in charge of Yi Rong went to the inner room with Yang Licai, followed by the guarding school of Longjingwei, and led in a man with a terrified face from the outside.
After the man entered the door, he saw Sun Shaozong sitting on the bench with a big horse and a golden knife, and immediately fell to his knees with a thud.
The man was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the sound, only to see a man and a woman standing in the dark corner, who were vaguely his acquaintances, and blurted out, "Manager Wu, you...why are you here?!"
When the two impostors heard him talk, they got a little closer, and the person pretending to be Xu said sharply and angrily: "It's not all your fault! What kind of Lao Shi Zi recipe was prescribed, and it actually killed three people!"
"Three... three lives?!"
Dr. Liu was taken aback, and he sat on the ground in a panic, and said anxiously: "I... how is this possible? I have never sought merit but no faults, and I have never driven the way of tigers and wolves, how could it be possible to kill people? , and three dead at once?!"
"Why is it impossible!"
The 'Treasurer Wu and his wife' moved forward a little more and said sternly, "Could it be that Mr. Qingtian will still wrong you?!"
Doctor Liu was stunned for a moment, then got up and kowtowed like pounding garlic, shouting grievances to Sun Shaozong.
Sun Shaozong asked in a slow and official tone, "If you really have any grievances, get up and confront the shopkeeper Wu first - if it's not that your prescription is wrong, then there is a problem with the medicinal materials in Wuya Pharmacy."
When Doctor Liu heard the words, he jumped up immediately, stalking his neck like a cockfight, and pushed all the guilt to Shopkeeper Wu.
That shopkeeper Wu was arguing a few words at first, but later was stumped by Doctor Liu using a set of specious medical principles.
Seeing that he couldn't stand it, he was losing and retreating under his own spit star. When Doctor Liu was complacent, he suddenly heard Sun Shaozong say: "Enough is enough, let's take this Doctor Liu down first."
Dr. Liu was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask if he had escaped his guilt. The two guards guarding the gate rushed forward, wiped his shoulders and arms, and dragged him out with his mouth gagged.
At the same time, there was another strong man with a beard, knelt down on one knee in front of Sun Shaozong, and asked, "Sir, do you think these two can still make it?"
Hearing this voice, it was Yang Licai himself.
"Should be enough."
Sun Shaozong nodded and said, "When you go out through the back door, you should prepare everything first, and then start the action immediately when the sky gets darker."
After a pause, he solemnly warned: "This matter is of great importance, so be careful not to repeat the mistakes of the last time."
"Don't worry, my lord, your plan is so well thought out. If something goes wrong with your humble post, I won't have the face to come back to see you again."
After Yang Licai finished speaking, seeing that Sun Shaozong had no further instructions, he called out seven or eight maids and servants in blue clothes and small hats from the inside, and together with the high imitation boss Wu and his wife, they quietly went out through the back door.
Sun Shaozong watched them file out, and after a while, he heard the rumble of horseshoes and the rumble of cars, but he couldn't help but sighed inwardly - it seems that this is too burly, and it is not a good thing.
Originally, the operation of arresting the shopkeeper Wu and his wife was the most secure if he directed them directly, but with Sun Shaozong's stature, he couldn't find a few in the capital, and it was a bit dazzling to be mixed up among them.
I had no choice but to entrust the errand to Yang Licai.
Not to mention how uneasy Sun Shaozong was.
But he said that Yang Licai led those people out the back door, and from a courtyard, he led out two horses and three or two carriages.
The servant dressed as a valet took a waist knife and a hunting bow from the cart at the head; the maid dressed up from the wagon behind, took out gorgeous clothes padded with cotton wool, and put them on the fake Xu.
When everyone is in their place, the chariots, the horses Xiaoxiao, and the pedestrians have bows and arrows on their waists, and they are big families who have returned from the autumn hunting in the city!
The team circled back and forth in the city for half an hour, and seeing that it was almost two quarters of the hour [5:30 in the afternoon], it went straight to Wuya Pharmacy.
"Stop, park!"
Seeing that the team in front had already passed the Wuya Pharmacy, a little maid in the carriage behind suddenly stuck her head out and said in a shrill voice, "The third master's chronic disease has been committed again, so let grandma take the supplementary medicine and go back, it will save you money. Come out and run again."
After hearing this, the two maids also got down from the carriage in front, and commanded arrogantly: "Go to the pharmacy and have a look, don't let that blind person bump into our grandma!"
As soon as the order was given, a few tyrants got off the scooter and rushed into the pharmacy like a wolf, and after a while, they came out to report that there were no idlers in it.
The two maids then got out of the car and helped a fat lady down, surrounded by three or five tyrants, and entered the Wuya Pharmacy.
It took about a quarter of an hour for the lady to come out of the pharmacy. After just a few steps, her plump body seemed to be a little tired. It was all due to the two maids pulling hard to get to the carriage in front.
Immediately, the convoy returned to the road, dressed in the afterglow of the setting sun, and went all the way around in a turbulent way, and then returned to the back door of the small courtyard.
crunch~
The carriage hadn't stopped yet, when he saw that the back door was a minute left and right, Sun Shaozong strode out from the inside to greet him, without saying a word, his eyes stared straight at the carriage.
"grown ups."
Yang Licai hurriedly got off his horse and said in a low voice, "Fortunately, I am not humiliated!"
As soon as he said that, the two tyrants on the wagon lifted a limp man down, and the fat woman in the wagon was also pulled out by the two maids.
Yang Lici rolled up his sleeves and wiped the thick powder on their faces, but it wasn't shopkeeper Wu and his wife, who else could it be
Sun Shaozong breathed a sigh of relief, and threw his hands loosely and said with a smile, "Manager Wu, this official has been waiting for a long time!"
The shopkeeper Wu and his wife stared angrily, but they couldn't say a word.
Yang Licai said from the side: "Kong Xiao and Jiang Tao, who pretended to be shopkeeper Wu and his wife, have successfully controlled Wang Ergou, the shop assistant. If someone unrelated comes to the door, Wang Ergou will first come forward to prevaricate; if it is from the White Lotus Sect. When the thief comes to the door, they will hold the thief and wait for the opportunity to release the code."
After a pause, he bowed again and said, "Do you want to interrogate now, or..."
"Push to the back first."
Sun Shaozong pointed to the courtyard on the opposite side, and said again: "Let's wait for the news from the Ruyi Square and then ignore it."
Yang Licai responded respectfully, and personally escorted the shopkeeper Wu and his wife into the courtyard opposite.
However, Sun Shaozong turned his head and went back to the humble courtyard. He sat on the bench and took advantage of the dim oil lamp to pick up a thick file from the table and read it carefully.
After another quarter of an hour, someone pushed the door in and reported respectfully, "Reporting to Lord Qianhu, the door of the pharmacy has fallen, and there is nothing unusual around Ruyifang."
tsk~
It seems that the people of the White Lotus Sect did not send anyone to monitor the shopkeeper Wu and his wife in Ruyifang.
Sun Shaozong put the file in his hand on the table, stretched out a big waist, and muttered: "Let's go, go with this official to the backyard to torture and extract a confession, otherwise how can you be worthy of the black materials specially sent by Lord Zhenfu?"
Thanks to the book friend 'Dongfang Tuo' for the reward.
