Please stop imagining things, I'm such a good person

Gu Dayong was a grain merchant with a very big business. His grain shops were spread across nearly ten cities within Shengdu.

As we all know, grain trading is a high-risk industry. Shortchanging, selling inferior goods as good ones, and adding water to rice and meat are all common practices. If you get caught, you can easily be fined to the point of bankruptcy.

As for hoarding goods and living in strange places when a disaster occurs, there is no escape, no matter how high or low, you will be beheaded.

The reason why Gu Dayong has been able to expand his business and remain safe over the years is that he acts cautiously.

He did all the necessary outrageous things, but compared to other unscrupulous grain merchants, he seemed extremely restrained.

Therefore, over the years, at least eighty grain merchants were beheaded, but Gu Dayong always managed to escape.

Yesterday, Gu Dayong heard an outrageous news that the Fang family treasure shop contained a man's precious medicine...

After he inquired carefully, he was half-believing and half-doubting. After all, this shop sold all kinds of rare goods!

When perfume was all the rage, Gu Dayong was tempted to get a batch of perfume to sell in other cities, but after thinking for a long time, he gave up.

Over the years, by going against his conscience, he has accumulated a huge amount of money, which he could never spend in several lifetimes.

It is better not to get involved in perfume now, otherwise even if it is a mouse, it will be easily targeted by wild beasts after it becomes fat.

Gu Dayong's neighbor is named Ma Dong, who runs a restaurant. He is a generous person, but he always can't control his mouth. Yesterday he received a pill from Wang Sanyuan.

"Good morning, Shopkeeper Ma!"

Gu Dayong came to Ma Dong's restaurant early in the morning. After ordering a bowl of tea and some cakes, he took the initiative to talk to Ma Dong.

"Hey, Brother Gu, it's so early today!"

Ma Dong's face was flushed with joy.

Gu Dayong teased, "Shopkeeper Ma, what's up today? Is there a happy event in your family?"

Ma Dong chuckled, "That's right, brother, I did encounter some good things."

"Oh?"

Gu Dayong pretended to be confused but did not ask any further questions because he knew that Ma Dong would tell the truth without him asking.

As expected, Ma Dong then said, "Brother Gu, have you heard the rumors about the Fang family's treasure shop yesterday?"

"That's natural, but I think it's probably fake. There's no such thing in the world!"

Ma Dong grinned and said, "Of course it's true!"

Looking around, Ma Dong whispered, "Yesterday, the treasure shop sent someone to give me a Shenglonghuohu Pill, saying it was for trial use and it was free!"

"I thought, since it doesn't cost any money, I might as well give it a try... The result... hehehe..."

Even though he knew Ma Dong was keeping things a secret, Gu Dayong couldn't help but ask, "What was the result?"

Ma Dong looked very proud, "My newly-acquired fifth concubine has not gotten up yet!"

Gu Dayong's breathing became heavier, "So powerful?!"

"Of course!"

Ma Dong smacked his lips, as if recalling the wonderful taste of last night, "I feel like I'm 20 years old again after taking the medicine!"

"No! Even more powerful than when I was 20!"

Gu Dayong could no longer suppress his restless heart.

As he was middle-aged, he had no control over his own life. Every night he hid in his study, ignoring the resentful looks of his concubines.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that he can't

If this medicine is really as Ma Dong said...

Gu Dayong walked out of the building quickly. It’s not that the master is unable to do anything during this period of time, he is just busy recently!

Tonight, those little goblins will know how powerful their master is!

"Hey? Brother Gu, I haven't finished yet!"

Halfway through his words, the obedient person ran away, and Ma Dong suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

"Shopkeeper Ma, please wait a moment. I have something urgent to attend to. I will come back tomorrow!"

Gu Dayong replied, then stopped and asked suspiciously, "Since this medicine is so effective, won't Shopkeeper Ma buy some more?"

Ma Dong smiled obscenely, "I sent my servant there early this morning, bringing a full 10,000 taels of silver!"

"This bitch!"

Gu Dayong cursed inwardly and quickened his pace, wondering if they would buy all the things!

Ma Dong looked disdainful. If you were in a hurry to buy medicine, you could just say so. Why did you say it was an urgent matter? Bah!

Touching his lower back, Ma Dong showed a pained yet happy smile, Shenglonghuohuo Pills! The medicine is as powerful as its name suggests!

......

When Gu Dayong arrived at the door of Fang's Treasure Shop, Tongqian Lane was already blocked.

Some women complained as they got on the carriage, wondering why so many men came today.

They didn't want to crowd with the men, so they hurriedly got in the car and left.

Two burly men who looked like servants shouted at the top of their lungs, "Queue up, queue up, don't squeeze! There are a lot of goods, don't worry about not being able to buy them!"

Cheng Guang wiped the sweat from his forehead. His brothers all scrambled to be servants because there were many women coming here every day and everyone wanted to enjoy the sight of them.

In order to be fair, the third brother had to let everyone take turns to be a servant.

But why am I so unlucky? I finally got my turn, but all the women ran away and a group of rough men with big bellies and fat waists came!

Seeing that there were people coming quickly from behind, Gu Dayong quickly stood at the end of the team and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

In just a few breaths, there were more than a dozen people behind Gu Dayong.

"It seems that I am still very flexible!"

Just when Gu Dayong was feeling proud, he heard the conversation between the two people in front of him.

"Brother Li, you are from Minister Wu's family, right?"

"Eh? You look familiar, is it...?"

"My surname is Zhang, and I am Mr. Zhang's housekeeper. A few days ago, I had the honor of meeting Minister Wu with the master!"

"It's Brother Zhang. Nice to meet you! Brother Zhang, are you here to buy the Shenglonghuohuo Pills as well?"

"Hey, one hundred taels per piece, I can't afford it, I'm buying it for my master!"

Gu Dayong's face turned dark, and after looking around, his face became even darker.

Most of the people in the queue were wearing servants' or housekeepers' uniforms. There were only a few familiar faces, but they were also wearing common people's linen clothes and looked very low-key.

The silk brocade she wore made her stand out in the crowd.

"That's sloppy!"

Gu Dayong secretly resented himself, blaming himself for being too impatient, otherwise he could have sent a servant instead!

But it was too late to leave now, as there was still an endless stream of people coming to Tongqian Lane. By the time he went back to inform the servants, the food would be cold.

In order to be able to ride fast tonight, Gu Dayong gritted his teeth and stayed in the team.

In front of Fang's house, Jin Shouyu looked at the exaggerated flow of people and couldn't help but say, "Brother Fang, is this medicine really that powerful?"

Fang Hao said calmly, "Of course, if it wasn't serious, why would they be here enduring the cold wind?"

"Besides, why don't you buy one and try it and you will know!"

Jin Shouyu laughed awkwardly, "No need, I don't need these."

As soon as Jin Shouyu finished speaking, a servant in the crowd shouted to him, "Second Young Master, didn't you tell me to do it? Why are you here in person?"

Jin Shouyu's eyes twitched suddenly, and he glared at the servant fiercely, and hurriedly explained, "I bought it for my uncle, he is old... hehe..."

Fang Hao patted his shoulder and said meaningfully, "Brother Jin, go to brothels less often, or you'll wet your shoes in the next few years!"
