Without any unnecessary nonsense, he directly stated his demands.

This is indeed consistent with the performance when this medicinal ingredient is urgently needed.

Shen Chu said in his heart.

"You probably know there's no Panax notoginseng left in Yancheng, right? So even if you need it, we won't sell it to you at the normal price."

This time it was not Shen Chu who spoke, but Xu San who was sitting next to her.

Xu San looked at him suddenly, without any emotion in his eyes, only indifference.

The boy was not treated specially because his clothes were worn out and he had an anxious look on his face.

It is no exaggeration to say that we truly treat everyone equally.

Since he had already spoken, Shen Chu naturally would not interrupt.

Instead, he waited quietly for the boy's answer.

The young man wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead and slowly walked inside, explaining to Xu San why he needed this medicinal herb. "My mother recently caught a cold while going up the mountain, and her condition is quite serious. We went to the west of the city for treatment, and the doctor there told us that they no longer have this medicinal herb."

"They can only give us a prescription, but they can't do anything else. If we want to find the herbs, we have to rely on ourselves."

"We've been searching all over Yancheng for a long time, but no pharmacy has sold this medicine. Even if I wanted to pay a high price for it, there's no way to buy it. For my mother's illness, I must find this medicine!"

"I even considered going to the mountains to look for it myself. Maybe God wasn't on my side. I didn't find Panax notoginseng and had to return from the mountain dejected. But I really want my mother's illness to be cured, because her condition has become more serious recently, and she even has symptoms of coughing up blood..."

"I originally thought there was no hope, but then I heard from others that you had this medicinal herb, so I came here to ask for it. This is all the money I have, and I don't know how much I can buy..."

As he said this, he took out a purse from his waist and handed it over. Xu San took the purse, opened it and took a look. Then he turned the purse upside down on the table, and silver coins fell out of the purse.

Even if all the small change was used, it would only be less than two taels. Even before, less than two taels of small change could not buy much, let alone now.

Shen Chu tightened his fingertips but did not speak.

When the boy was telling the story, they did not interrupt him at all, but listened quietly until he had said everything.

"You mean your mother caught a cold while going up the mountain, and it's gotten worse recently, so she rarely needs this medicinal ingredient, right?"

This time it was still not Shen Chu who spoke, but Xu San.

Xu San stared at the young man in front of him, waiting for him to give him an answer.

The boy didn't know why he asked this, but nodded anyway.

It is equivalent to confirming Xu San's words.

"Do you know what Sanqi is used for?"

This sentence completely left the young man speechless.

he does not know.

How could he know?

He just wanted to cheat the medicine, how could he know so much?

Yes, he also came here to cheat people out of medicine.

His purpose was very simple, he had no other thoughts, he just came here to get the medicine.

Because someone told him that some people are buying this medicine in large quantities and can sell it at a very high price.

If he could get the medicine and sell it to him, he could give him a lot of money.

If that's the case, then why doesn't he buy it? He can just sell it to someone else and make a profit without any hassles.

That's why he came here.

It wasn't because my mother caught a cold, it was just because he wanted money.

That's why he made up this story.

But he never expected that the other party would ask such a question.

The young man was a little confused, his voice full of uncertainty, "Three, Three-Notoginseng can't treat colds?"

He clearly remembered that it had this effect. Could he have remembered it wrongly?

It shouldn't be...

"all right."

When Xu San said this, not only the young man in front of him was confused, but even Shen Chu was a little confused.

What does he mean?

Suspicion of everyone indiscriminately?

but……

Thinking of the boy's reaction just now, Shen Chu realized that something was wrong.

Normally, who wouldn’t know what medicine to use when their mother is sick?

Even if you don’t know, you should know what diseases Panax notoginseng can cure.

After all, you keep saying you want to buy it, but you don’t know what you’re going to do with it after you buy it. Do you really want to buy it?

Shen Chu tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingertips and said with some regret, "I feel... you don't really want to buy it."

"Chasing the wind, catch him and throw him into the backyard."

"it is good."

This time, without waiting for Shen Chu to speak, Fu Jinnian took the initiative to take on this matter. It can be said that he was very self-conscious.

Seeing him like this, Shen Chu was a little surprised, "How do you know what I'm going to say?"

"Of course you know. Who am I?"

As he said this, he raised his head proudly.

It seemed like he was the most handsome man in the world.

Shen Chu declined to comment on this.

Just raised an eyebrow.

"How did you tell?"

After the others were dragged away, Shen Chu suddenly asked.

From the very beginning, Xu San seemed to be very targeted at the young man just now.

However, the boy behaved perfectly normally at first, and only gradually began to show signs of being abnormal later on. So how did Xu San determine that there was something wrong with him from the very beginning? Shen Chu was very curious about this.

She wanted to wait for Xu San to give her an answer.

But Xu San turned his head to look at her and suddenly said, "Because you seem to have a good impression of him."

What do you mean?

Because she had a good impression of the boy, he suspected the boy?

It seems that she is used to eliminate wrong options?

It's so insulting.

"You'll have no friends like this."

Shen Chu narrowed his eyes at him and spoke in a warning tone.

How can you say such things?

It sounds like if she thinks someone is good, there must be something wrong with them.

"Not next time."

"Nothing will happen next time?"

"I won't tell you next time."

"..."

The surroundings became quiet, and Shen Chu pretended that he heard nothing.

Otherwise she felt she would be mad to death.

Zhuifeng quickly dragged the man in and out. When he came out, he brought a piece of news that was neither good nor bad. "The young man just now said that if we keep him locked up, he will definitely report him to the police when he gets out."

In response, Shen Chu simply shrugged and said, "Report to the authorities? Report to His Highness?"

if it is like this……

"Tell him to remember to report it to the police. I'm afraid His Highness won't come to find me."
