After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day
Chapter 43 The show begins
"Shopkeeper, come out here! Why are the herbs I bought dry on the outside and wet on the inside? I crushed them and smelled a foul odor! Are you selling inferior products as good ones?"
An eight-foot-tall man with a scar on his face stood in the crowd and shouted loudly. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he picked up the wooden sign at the door that read "Free medical consultation when buying medicinal materials" and threw it heavily to the ground, smashing it to pieces.
Manager Liu and several servants exchanged a glance, then ran out and shouted, "What are you doing? It's illegal to smash things at will, don't you know? Someone, come and report to the police!"
"Report it!" Hu Tou sneered and refuted him fearlessly. He threw the herbs in his hand at Manager Liu's face: "Selling fake medicine and passing inferior medicine off as good ones is also illegal! I want to see whether the government will arrest me first or you first!"
"Everyone, you have bought medicinal herbs from his shop these days. Do you feel that even though you cooked them according to the prescription, they have no effect at all when you eat them?" Hu Tou shouted loudly.
When the people in the queue heard this, they looked at each other and started discussing: "Don't mention it, it's true. Usually, when my old man's legs hurt, he just takes some medicine, but this time it didn't work at all. I thought he was seriously ill!"
"Me too. I've been suffering from a cold and have been coughing so hard that my lungs are almost bursting. I've come here to buy medicine three times and spent a lot of money! In the past, one dose of medicine would have cured me!"
"..."
Manager Liu and the servant looked more and more panicked, with a layer of cold sweat on their backs.
"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you kill this little thief who is spreading rumors to deceive the public!" Shopkeeper Liu said anxiously, fearing that if he didn't take action, the scarred man would say something even more shocking that would make his scalp tingle.
Several servants immediately went forward to catch Hutou, but Hutou dodged quickly, shouting as he ran: "They collected the broken herbs, soaked them in water, and then dried them until they were half dry. This way, the surface is dry but the inside is wet, making them look like high-quality herbs! In fact, the efficacy of herbs that have been soaked in water is greatly reduced!"
"If you don't believe me, just crush the herbs you bought with your hands and see if it's what I said!"
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly did as Hu Tou said. When they saw the rancid herbs stuck to their palms, they angrily yelled, "You bastards, you actually used these lousy herbs to pass off as good ones. No wonder my illness has never been cured! Pay me, pay me!"
"Yes, give me compensation! Who knows if there will be any other risks after taking these herbs, besides the poor efficacy!"
"Pay compensation, or we'll report you to the police!"
The people rose up in anger and surrounded Manager Liu and several servants, but Hu Tou had already retired after achieving his goal, hiding his achievements and fame.
……
Liufang Hall.
Liuzi ran in breathlessly, shouting, "Manager Lin, Manager Lin! Jishidiang and those inferior clinics have been reported. The people are demanding compensation and have beaten people. The officers and soldiers from the Dali Temple have come to control the situation!"
Lin Shuning was sitting on a chair, picking medicinal herbs. Hearing this, he curled his lips and smiled, saying calmly: "If you do business opportunistically, you won't be able to do it for long. Uncle Zhang, open the door, and our clinic will have a stable income in the future!"
"Hey!" Uncle Zhang looked excited. He had a hunch that with the energy of Lin Shuning, Liufangtang would definitely become better and better under her leadership!
Not long after, many people came into the clinic to buy medicine. Perhaps because they had suffered a loss before, they crushed the herbs on the spot this time. Seeing that they were completely dry inside and out, they felt relieved.
Uncle Zhang laughed and shouted, "Don't worry, Liufangtang has been open for so many years, and all the medicinal herbs we sell are genuine. We never do anything fraudulent!"
"Yes, just buy it with confidence!" Liuzi echoed.
Lin Shuning, wearing a veil, also helped in the store until the evening, when the number of people in the clinic gradually decreased.
Zhang Bo counted the silver and smiled: "Manager Lin, we made a total of fifty taels today, which is the income of the previous month!"
"Don't worry, we will make more money in the future. Uncle Zhang, please take out thirty taels and give them to me first. I am going to develop some new medicines and sell them tomorrow to see how effective they are." Lin Shuning said.
Zhang Bo nodded, took out thirty taels of silver and put it in Lin Shuning's hand.
Lin Shuning received the message and said, "It's getting late. Everyone should go to bed early. I have to go back first."
If it's too late, you won't be able to see that great show.
After saying goodbye to everyone in the clinic, Lin Shuning returned to the Shangshu Mansion. Lian'er was waiting for her at the door and said, "Miss, everything has been arranged. I've also told Niao Niao."
Lin Shuning nodded and asked, "Where's Hu Tou? Did he go?"
"He's gone. He should be back soon." Lian'er stood on tiptoe and looked out. When she saw a dark shadow vaguely appearing in the twilight, she waved at him quickly: "Here!"
Lin Shuning's gaze moved over and fell on Hu Tou. Seeing the person he was carrying behind him, he curled his lips and smiled.
This person was none other than Lin Rouan.
At this moment, Lin Rouan's eyes were closed, and he looked like he was in a coma.
Lian'er swallowed nervously and ordered Hutou, "Hurry up and throw her on the bed."
"Okay, leave it to me!" Hu Tou did as he was told. Lian'er had told Hu Tou the whole story earlier. He usually despised people like Lin Rouan who played tricks behind the scenes, so when he learned that Lin Shuning planned to let her suffer the consequences, he agreed immediately.
"After you put it down, come out quickly and meet the Third Miss." Lian'er shouted again.
After a rustling sound, a tall, dark-skinned boy appeared in front of Lin Shuning.
He scratched his head embarrassedly, pinched the corner of his clothes with his hands, and his eyes were a little evasive.
He had thought of many things to say before coming, but when he actually saw her, he suddenly didn't know how to start.
Lin Shuning smiled and said, "Tiger Head, thank you for what happened today."
Hu Tou shook his head and said gratefully, "Thank you, Miss Third, for redeeming me."
"No need to thank me, this is what you deserve. But have you thought about what to do next?" Lin Shuning asked in a low voice.
Hu Tou nodded seriously, with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "I want to join the army. My mother said that I am strong and healthy, and I am born to be a soldier. It's a pity that she passed away early... At that time, in order to raise money for my mother's medical treatment, I agreed to work for the trafficker. I thought I would have to stay in the slave market for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect to meet a good person like the Third Miss. Lian'er is my best friend, and I feel relieved that she can follow the Third Miss."
Lian Er punched Tiger's head, her eyes slightly red. "When you enter the military camp, you must work hard. Maybe I can see you wearing armor and looking majestic on the battlefield! Then I will brag to everyone that I, Lian Er, also have a great hero friend!"
Hu Tou straightened his back and patted his chest: "Don't worry, Lian'er, I will never let you down!"
Lian'er rubbed her eyes and burst into laughter.
"Miss Third, Lian'er, I'll leave first." Hu Tou glanced at Shi Chen and said.
"Okay, see you later." Lin Shuning nodded. Lian'er waved at Hutou without saying anything.
Hu Tou waved his hands vigorously and disappeared quickly into the night.
Lian Er rubbed her nose and said, "Miss, this Niao Niao is really cruel. She actually put drugs in Lin Rouan's water and took the initiative to help us delay Wang Shi."
Lin Shuning smiled deeply: "She is a smart person and knows what is good for her. Next, we just need to wait for the fish to take the bait."
