Yu Xiaolong spent a whole day walking around Honghe City carefully, and got a rough grasp of the Huang family's information, learning that they were the largest force in the local area.
The head of the Huang family and the City God used to be sworn brothers, so the Huang family can do almost anything they want here. Not only is he making a lot of money in business, but his sect's armed forces are also quite powerful.
But they are very good at making ghosts, they hold the city god high, they have never stopped all kinds of interests, and they also give full support to major events.
Therefore, the City God turned a blind eye and generally did not interfere unless it was a major matter.
This also resulted in a situation where the Huang family was innocent and domineering, and almost all of them in Red River City were stronger than the City God.
Yu Xiaolong didn't understand that the City God was a local official appointed by the higher authorities. Although there may be factors of power and interest involved, he was recognized at least.
No matter how powerful the Huang family is, it is still a private family and cannot directly compete with the higher-ups.
But according to Yu Xiaolong's understanding, the Huang family's words are even more useful than the City God in handling many things in Red River City.
According to some gossip, the City God is old and frail and will not be in power for too long. The Huang family is actively operating, trying to find someone of their own to take over.
After Yu Xiaolong mastered this information, he returned to the Tianxin Sect.
Through Xie Tianyun's efforts, various types of elixirs have been studied to a close.
"Xiaolong, we have most of these elixirs, and their efficacy varies. There are only a few elixirs that are very good, and some of them are beyond my level." Xie Tianyun said.
Yu Xiaolong thought for a moment and then said: "I understand. Please work hard and continue to study those difficult pills and try to figure them out."
Ten days later, "Tianxin Pharmacy" opened quietly in Honghe City, without celebration or publicity.
But as a new business, the drug store sent out a batch of elixirs for free, which had a good effect on mild diseases of ordinary ghosts.
The same trick used in Black and White Yecheng has achieved the same success here. Many ghosts line up at the door every day.
Faced with the business practices of Tianxin Drug Store, Huang Family Drug Store didn't take it seriously at all, thinking that the medicine they distributed was too low-grade. Even if it is normal sales, there is not much profit.
However, the information related to Tianxin Drug Store was quickly gathered into the Huang Family Drug Store. Combined with the sales volume and influence in Black and White Yecheng, and the Huang Family Drug Store breaking the agreement to open a store there, the Huang Family Drug Store felt that the other party was well prepared. Come and do it on purpose.
A few days later, several ghosts came to the door of Tianxin Pharmacy noisily, saying that taking the medicine here not only failed to cure the disease, but actually made it worse and died.
After investigation, Zhuang Junkai was certain that this was the fault of the Huang family, but the other party firmly denied it.
Zhuang Junkai asked for an examination, but the other party said that he had died and disappeared. Moreover, dozens of relatives all agreed that the accident was caused by taking medicine.
For a time, rumors spread in Honghe City that Tianxin Pharmacy was selling counterfeit medicines. As a result, normal sales were forced to stop.
The other party proposed that if compensation was not made, it would be sued to the City God.
Zhuang Junkai saw that he could no longer clean up the mess, so he urgently notified Yu Xiaolong.
Unexpectedly, he was not surprised. He knew something like this would happen from the beginning.
Yu Xiaolong claimed that he would never compensate without evidence. Tianxin Pharmacy sold so many medicines, but not one of them claimed to have died from taking them. Why did this case happen alone?
??????????????????One party firmly claimed that he took the medicine here, and the other party insisted on asking the other party to provide evidence. The two sides were in a stalemate and finally sued the city god.
Based on the principle of seeking truth from facts, Yu Xiaolong asked Cheng Huang to seek an explanation for the merchants who operated with integrity, and also hoped that Cheng Huang would investigate the matter thoroughly.
Yu Xiaolong did not mention the Huang family, but fiercely criticized the victim's family, saying that the other party was just asking for money.
Cheng Huang had already known about this matter. Due to his relationship with the Huang family, he hinted that Yu Xiaolong would spend money to eliminate the disaster, so as not to affect future operations.
With the attitude of the City God, the families of the victims became even more unscrupulous. They not only demanded exorbitant compensation from Tianxin Drug Store, but also suggested that they be driven out of Honghe City.
Affected by this, rumors were flying all over the Black and White Leaf City. The sales of Tianxin Drug Store were severely hit, and there was no customer for several days.
Yu Xiaolong still insisted on investigating and found out that if he had not compensated before, he would never move out of Honghe City.
"Lord Chenghuang, if I sold the medicine in another drug store and then said that I would die from eating it, would that be the same result?" Yu Xiaolong asked with a frown.
"Haha... There are only two of us here, listen to me. The best way is to come up with the money, and this matter will be settled." Cheng Huang said hoarsely.
"Doesn't that prove that there is indeed something wrong with the medicines sold in my pharmacy? This is not a matter of money, it is a matter of principle!" Yu Xiaolong snorted coldly.
"As the City God, I can only help you to this point. This is the best result for you. Although there are many things that I have no choice but to acquiesce to," the City God smiled bitterly.
Yu Xiaolong squinted his eyes and said, "Lord City God, do you have something to hide?"
Cheng Huang smiled and said: "I am already this age, and my condition is getting worse day by day. I don't know how many days I can sit in this position. I have seen too much, and I want to be more stable in the remaining time. .”
Yu Xiaolong blinked and looked at him, suddenly feeling that the other person's words were very sad and did not resemble the attitude of a city god at all.
He opened his mouth, but when he reached the end of his words, he didn't dare to say them out. He could only change his words and said: "I don't accept this matter! I want to sue the superiors!"
"Haha... you are too young and don't know how high the sky is. Sue the higher authorities? Don't have any illusions... that is not a level you can access. Listen to me, in order for you to still make money in the future, or live a stable life, it is best Just listen to my opinion." Cheng Huang waved his hand and said with a smile.
Seeing that the other party insisted on his own opinion, Yu Xiaolong said nothing and could only leave in anger.
Family members of the victims gather in front of Tianxin Drug Store every day, including the store in Heihei Yecheng.
Yu Xiaolong reasoned earnestly and explained the stakes, but the other party's attitude never changed.
"Made! Just drive away those ghosts, this won't work!" Zhou Kai cursed.
"Little Fatty, if that's the case, wouldn't we really have become that kind of people? If we sell fake medicines and don't let people tell us, then it will become true." Wan Yanfeng said.
"The Huang family is really hateful! They are simply bandits and bullies! I think, even if they can solve it this time, they will find trouble again and again in the future!" Zhuang Junkai said angrily.
Sun Renyi stroked his moustache and said: "We must find a perfect solution and cannot be reckless."
Yu Xiaolong murmured: "I have already investigated. In fact, the Huang family is not as powerful as the legend says. Because there is only one gang there, they are the only one. One is that they are the boss of Cheng Huang and control many things. The second is that they are relatively rich and can win people's hearts, so the Huang family can be domineering in Red River City."
"What's going on, Xiaolong, say something and let's go get him!" Zhou Kai waved his fist.
"We can't deal with them now." Yu Xiaolong shook his head.
"Then what should we do? We can't be forced to leave like this, right? Even if we don't leave, it's better to leave if there is no business!" Ying Kongxiu couldn't help shouting.
"How about... let's fight tooth for tooth?" Zhao Dayu suggested.
Sun Renyi waved his hand and said: "This won't work. They are not afraid of this in Red River City. We are foreigners and have no foundation."
The friends gathered together to discuss it all night, considering various methods and consequences.
The final decision was to wait and see.
