Butler He took Liu Yunqing and the others to a medicine shop. At this time, the medicine shop was crowded with people outside, and there were quarrels inside.
"Madam, this is it, let's go in." Butler He stopped and said to Liu Yunqing.
"Well, but Captain Sun, please stay outside for now. Don't let others say that our Hou Mansion is bullying others with its power." Liu Yunqing turned around and asked Captain Sun behind him to stay. Captain Sun had no objection to this.
As soon as they entered the store, they saw three young adults arguing with the store owner, and an uncared-for old man lying on the ground.
"Steward He, you are finally here." Seeing Steward Xiao and the others entering the store, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted them.
"What happened?" Butler Xiao asked directly.
"They said they bought fake medicines in our store, but we didn't sell them any medicine at all. They brought a pack of medicine dregs. There were indeed fake medicines in the medicine dregs, but they were definitely not bought from us." The shopkeeper He explained the situation.
"Do you have the final say? Compensate quickly. As long as you compensate, we will leave immediately. Otherwise, we will go to the Yamen and let the officials judge the case. I am afraid that you will be punished and your shop will be closed." Among them A young man came to Guanjia He.
"How much silver do you want?" Shopkeeper He asked, looking at the young man.
"No more, no more, a thousand taels is enough." The young man said with a smile.
"One thousand taels, it's really a lion's mouth. You can't take away a penny today. Get out of here immediately, or you will spend the rest of your life in prison." At this time, Liu Yunqing stood up and spoke righteously reprimand. As soon as he entered the door, Liu Yunqing went to check on the condition of the old man on the ground.
"Haha, you're such a fierce little lady, it's okay if you don't pay me. As long as you come with us, we can stop pursuing you for selling fake medicines." When the young man saw Liu Yunqing, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Presumptuous!..." Butler He scolded angrily, and when he was about to continue scolding, Liu Yunqing stopped him.
"Butler He, there's no need to get angry with them. It's not worth it. The shopkeeper will bring the medicine dregs they brought." Liu Yunqing said to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper didn't know Liu Yunqing. He looked at Elder He and saw Elder He nodded. The shopkeeper took the medicine. The slag was handed to Liu Yunqing.
"Judging from the dregs of the medicine, this is a medicine for treating colds. But I just checked the old man, and he clearly has lung disease. If you want to extort money, can you be more professional? At least the medicine is suitable for the disease. "Okay." Liu Yunqing looked at the three of them as if they were fools.
"Don't worry about what kind of medicine it is. Anyway, you are selling fake medicine." Qing Zhuang started to mess around.
"Since you said you bought the medicine here, when did you boil the medicine and when did you feed it to the old man?" Liu Yunqing looked at the three of them and asked again.
"Chenshi." The three said in unison.
"What time is it?" Liu Yunqing asked again immediately.
"Three quarters." "Two quarters." "Four quarters." Three people gave three answers.
"Should I give you a chance? Let's say it again. It's better if you discuss it carefully." Liu Yunqing sneered disdainfully.
"We didn't pay attention to the time at the time. It's normal for us to remember it wrong. Don't ramble on and pay for it immediately. Otherwise, we will report it to the official and let the official arrest you all and make you sell fake medicines and harm people." "Qing Zhuang obviously lacked confidence, but he pretended to be fierce.
"Don't be anxious, just pretend that you have misremembered the time to stay up late. According to the time you said to boil the medicine, the medicine should have been taken half an hour ago, right or wrong?" Liu Yunqing asked the question again.
The three of them learned the lesson this time and did not answer immediately. After looking at each other, the person at the front answered in the affirmative.
"You still dare to lie. The old man on the ground has never taken medicine at all, at least not today. Didn't you just want to report it to the government? Then let's go to the government now. Whether the old man has taken medicine can be found out with one check. If my guess is correct, the old man on the ground has nothing to do with you. Extortion, kidnapping, murder, you just wait to spend the rest of your life in prison." Liu Yunqing angrily scolded the three of them.
After hearing Liu Yunqing's scolding, the three of them did not dare to stay any longer and immediately ran outside. Captain Sun immediately led his men forward, subdued the three of them, and escorted them to Liu Yunqing.
"Send them to the government." Liu Yunqing glanced at them and ordered. Captain Sun agreed and escorted the person away.
The onlookers outside praised Liu Yunqing for a while and then dispersed.
"Madam is smart, wise, courageous and knowledgeable. She is truly a hero among women. These interlocking links make them speechless and run away in embarrassment. It is really a big heart." Butler He praised Liu Yunqing without hesitation. . The shopkeeper was beside him and nodded again and again.
"Steward He is so complimentary. Steward He, this old man should be a helpless person. Can you take him in temporarily, cure his illness, and then let him go?" Liu Yunqing just checked the old man's condition and found that the old man was indeed sick.
"Madam is kind-hearted, and the villain will heal him according to Madam's instructions." Butler He did not have any objections. The more he looked at Liu Yunqing, the more satisfied he became. Now he was looking forward to the early return of the Marquis to marry Liu Yunqing.
"Then I'll thank Butler He. Yun Qing will take my leave first." Liu Yunqing bowed to Butler He and the shopkeeper, and then walked out of the medicine shop.
"Miss, you are so powerful. Seeing the ferocious looks of those three people, Lian'er felt a little weak in the legs. The young lady actually left them speechless and ran away. Lian'er admires the young lady so much." The medicinal materials came out. Shop, Lian'er's face was full of excitement, as if she had done it just now.
"Stop boasting. If you don't go to eat, your lady will starve to death." Liu Yunqing felt that at this time, she was so hungry that her chest was touching her back.
Liu Yunqing and Lian'er found a good restaurant nearby. They ordered six dishes in one go, all of which were meat dishes. Liu Yunqing felt like he could eat a sheep now. Soon, the dishes were served one after another, and the two of them started to feast. Just as the two of them were contentedly eating the delicious food, a diner left the restaurant in a hurry.
Before Liu Yunqing finished eating, the diners who had just left hurriedly returned to the restaurant with six people. The seven people sat at two tables and kept looking in Liu Yunqing's direction. Just when these seven people stood up and were about to walk towards Liu Yunqing, five soldiers suddenly came in from outside and headed straight for Liu Yunqing. The seven people who stood up sat down again when they saw a soldier heading straight towards Liu Yunqing.
"Madam." Five soldiers came to Liu Yunqing and saluted with clasped fists.
"Why are you here? Have you eaten? Let's open another table for you." Seeing the soldiers in front of him, Liu Yunqing put down the chopsticks in his hands and asked in surprise.
"Madam, we have already eaten. Captain Sun sent a message to his subordinates to protect the madam." The leading officer replied respectfully.
"Then let's go back to the house." Liu Yunqing stood up and walked out. Lian'er put down a piece of silver and quickly followed.
Seeing Liu Yunqing leaving, the seven people from before quickly followed him.
