Naturally, there were no guards sent, but they already had two masters here, a hidden master, and a master who was sometimes weak and sometimes a master.

The only real weakling is Fu Jinnian.

The matter is serious because it has affected the normal operation of Yancheng.

In order to have better decision-making power, Shen Chu asked Yun Shu to send someone to report the matter to Xie Ming, and it depended on when Xie Ming would send someone to deal with it.

I don’t know if it will be him who comes to repay, or if he will send a few people to help her.

But no matter whether it is the former or the latter, as long as they have Xie Ming's approval, then their work will be much easier, there is no doubt about it.

This is exactly why I told Xie Ming about this matter.

Otherwise, if he really caught someone and the other party asked him why he arrested him, Shen Chu would be at a loss for words.

But with the approval of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, everything will be much easier.

"Has the news gotten out?"

Shen Chu smeared some dust on his face and deliberately messed up his hair, trying to cover up his appearance a little.

What we are going to do soon is not a very ladylike activity.

"The waterproofing has already spread, and some people are already rushing here."

After all, human life is at stake, so it is best to get life-saving medicine as soon as possible.

"Here they come, someone's coming, get ready, get ready!"

Fu Jinnian's excited voice came from not far away. While speaking, he hurriedly ran inside!

Hearing his words, Shen Chuyi sat down on the stool and casually pulled his hair.

He took a bronze mirror and looked at his face, but still felt it was a little too conspicuous, so he grabbed a handful of soot from the bottom of the pot and smeared some on his nose and the sides of his face.

After everything was done, he finally followed Tong Jing's instructions and put it down with satisfaction when he felt it was almost ready.

She didn't want the whole Yancheng to be spread with rumors that she was a drug dealer who extorted prices, so she had to maintain her image.

Almost at the moment he put down the bronze mirror, an old man in tattered clothes walked in from outside.

He first tried to look around, and after finding that there was no one around, he looked forward again, and finally his eyes swept over Shen Chu and Xu San sitting next to her.

The old man's eyes lit up, and he put more strength into his crutch and staggered forward. Seeing him walking towards him with such difficulty, Shen Chu felt that his conscience was under great test.

She couldn't even imagine how miserable the other person would be if she refused to sell the medicine to him.

"Grandpa, are you sure you need this medicine too?"

Helping the old man, Fu Jinnian walked closer and couldn't help but ask.

He also didn't want to deceive the old man.

And this is the case for an old man who is nearly 70 years old.

The old man's face was full of wrinkles. He nodded heavily after hearing Fu Jinnian's words. "If I didn't need this medicine, why would I come so far?"

Because he was too old, he spoke very slowly, one word at a time.

Seeing him like this, Fu Jinnian turned his sympathetic gaze to Shen Chu.

That look seemed to say: Sell him some.

But Shen Chu ignored it.

She can't do this.

What if this is the other party's method?

What if this person was sent by Xie Xuan?

If she gave all the medicine to the person in front of her, what would others do?

There are so many poor people, how can she take care of every one of them?

"Grandpa, please sit here. What medicine do you want to buy?"

Shen Chu looked at the old man in front of him and spoke with a serious face.

She did not show any extra care to the person in front of her because he was an elderly person, but she also did not ignore him completely because he was an elderly person. She just treated him normally.

The old man seemed to have noticed this as well. He used the hand holding the cane to poke the ground hard. "You little girl, I'm an old man, don't you take extra care of me?"

???

Shen Chu frowned immediately after hearing this.

What the hell?

How does she need to be taken care of? How else can she be taken care of?

Do I need to go up and help him?

"Grandpa, I have taken good care of you. Do you need any medicinal herbs?"

Her expression became much colder and did not change even though the person in front of her was an old man.

Hearing Shen Chu's words, the old man's expression was still not very good. "Didn't you say you had Sanqi here? Of course, this is what I want. If it weren't for this, why would I come all the way here?"

His expression changed subtly from the moment he sat down.

Shen Chu herself couldn't tell what the specific changes were, but she didn't feel very good about it.

"Yes, but you also know that Panax notoginseng is in short supply in Yancheng right now. Even if we have it, we won't sell it at the normal price."

Her voice was firm, and as she spoke, she kept an eye on the reaction of the person in front of her.

As expected, almost the moment these words came out, the old man in front of him changed his expression.

"What did you say?"

"You mean, the price is more expensive than before?"

His already cloudy eyes stared at Shen Chu with a somewhat terrifying look.

"Yes, the highest bidder wins."

Shen Chu spoke the lines he had prepared long ago.

Hearing this, the old man's face became even uglier!

"What do you mean? Are you even going to cheat the elderly out of their money?"

What does it mean that even the elderly’s money is being defrauded?

Even if it was a child who came now, she would still say the same thing.

Shen Chu chuckled lightly, looking nonchalant, "Yes, I also cheated the elderly's money."

Her face was covered with soot, and she looked a little sloppy.

It gives people a very unreliable feeling.

The old man looked her up and down, his voice becoming somewhat sarcastic, "What's the lowest?"

He came here with a mission today, and he must take all the Panax notoginseng here back!

Otherwise, he would have a hard time reporting back, and he wouldn't be able to get what the other party promised him.

This is not possible!

He made this trip just for the money!

If Shen Chu was not sure at the beginning whether the old man in front of her was good or bad, now she is completely sure.

If the person in front of her is not a ghost, she will die.

“The highest bidder gets it.”

She repeated her words coldly.

Xu San was sitting next to her. Although Shen Chu didn't say anything, Xu San already understood.

If this isn't ghostly, then maybe no one is ghostly.

She had clearly said it clearly: the highest bidder wins.

Don’t you understand what it means to be a superior person?

The gray-haired old man stared at her with a sinister look in his eyes. "Are you sure you want to do this?"
