There are four big drug stores in Futeng County, all of which belong to the same family. Among them, Bing Wuge is headed by Song He, the eldest brother of the Song family, and the rest of the drug stores are managed by his younger brothers.
Other small pharmacies have to look at the Song family's face and act accordingly. The Song family wants to lower the price of purple hemp vine, but the nearby pharmacies dare not accept it. The drug dealers in Futeng County are all members of the Song family. The Song family and Futeng The relationship with the county magistrate is also very good.
After leaving the inn, Zhou Jinyan came to Bingwu Pavilion. He was about to enter the store to ask about the price of purple hemp vine. Before he could enter, the clerk closed the store door.
"We're going to have an early night today. Dear guest, please come early next time." The waiter stopped Zhou Jinyan to prevent him from entering, and then continued to hold the door panel open.
Zhou Jinyan pointed at the middle-aged man who was only one step away from him and could enter the store and said, "Has he already gone in?"
The waiter looked Zhou Jinyan up and down, and when he saw that he was wearing ordinary cotton and linen clothes, his tone changed and he said impatiently: "That's our boss's distinguished guest!"
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Zhou Jinyan's reaction, the man placed the last door panel and bolted the door shut.
Seeing this, Zhou Jinyan turned around and walked around the left side of the drug store until he came to the alley behind. It was getting dark and there were fewer and fewer people on the street. After observing his surroundings, he jumped over the wall.
Logically speaking, Zhou Jinyan should leave when the drug store closes. The reason why he sneaked into the backyard of the drug store was because the man who entered before him had an unusual identity.
Although the other party was dressed very ordinary, he was wearing a pair of official boots. The boots worn by officials in the Zhou Dynasty were very particular, just like official uniforms. The boots worn were different depending on the official rank.
The official boots worn by the man just now had black tops and black soles, indicating that he was in the military. There were no troops stationed in Futeng County. This man most likely came from Shengjing City.
So Zhou Jinyan turned to the backyard to find out.
In the blink of an eye, the sky turned completely dark, and Zhou Jinyan, dressed in black, was eavesdropping on the roof, making it even harder to be discovered.
After groping around, he found that the room under him was the study room of Song He, the owner of Bingwu Pavilion. The man who came in before was sitting and talking to Song He.
"So what did they say?"
Jian Yu tried her best to sound less irritable.
Last night, this man broke into her room in the middle of the night. He was not so rash today, but at this time, he asked He Ye to come over to deliver a message. It was not much different from last night, right?
Jian Yu, who had just fallen asleep and was woken up, was trying hard to control her temper. She would first see what the dog assassin said. If it was something unimportant, it would not be too late to lose her temper.
Even though her brain was turned into mush from sleep, Jian Yu said that she was still very logical!
Zhou Jinyan looked at Jian Yu, who was sleepy-eyed and steeling herself to listen to her words. Her head sank a little bit, and then she moved her body from time to time. It seemed that she was not sleepy from beginning to end. He couldn't help it. laugh.
Of course, this smile cannot be made out loud. If the little fox is discovered, he will probably become very angry.
His aura is so majestic during the day that Li Zheng, who is in charge of thousands of villagers, dare not underestimate him and smiles cautiously. He seems to be quite unfathomable. How could he have thought that at night, he would turn into a fool in front of him? He seemed to be dozing off, without any alertness, like a little cub covered in fluff that was still sucking milk.
How can a person be so complex and changeable?
Zhou Jinyan could tell that Jian Yu's caution and preparedness yesterday were real, and so was her confusion and confusion today.
"The middle-aged man who went to Bingwuge Pharmacy was sent by Tang Fu."
The two words "Tang Fu" were like a sharp knife. With just one stroke, it cut off all the tangled sleep nerves in Jian Yu's brain.
"What?!"
Jian Yu suddenly woke up.
"What's going on? Tell us!"
Picking up the tea next to her, Jian Yu took a big sip, and then looked at Zhou Jinyan with burning eyes.
Zhou Jinyan lowered his eyes. It seemed that if he wanted to figure out his Princess Jing, Tang Fu might be a breakthrough.
When they were in the study, the middle-aged man didn't mention Tang Fu's name, he said Miss Tang.
"Ms. Tang told you to keep some medicines like purple hemp vine and honeysuckle. How are you doing with your purchases?"
"Mr. Zhao, please reassure Miss Tang. The warehouse of purple hemp vines will be full by the end of next month, and others are being purchased one after another."
Hearing what Song He said, Mr. Zhao touched his beard and nodded with satisfaction.
"Do you know why Miss Tang suddenly wanted to purchase these medicines in large quantities?" Song He asked.
The reason why drug dealers want to lower the price of golden vine and silver vine is because Miss Tang wants too much goods. In the past, during the growth period of purple vine, they would have higher requirements on quality, and many bad ones would be discarded directly. Of.
Because the purchase volume was too large this time, all the inferior goods that were not wanted before were collected this time. Miss Tang only stocked this batch, but they would have to deal with the villagers all year round in the future.
If the appetite of the villagers is increased, it will be difficult to harvest the purple hemp vine in the future.
Therefore, Song He planned to use both kindness and power. First, they would suppress the price of purple hemp vines in the hands of the people. When they went to harvest it at the end of next month, they would tell the people that they would accept it no matter what the quality was.
If the drug dealers tell you how difficult it is to prepare the purple hemp vine, and if the price is lowered as a last resort, the people would be better off. Not only will their grievances dissipate, but they will also feel grateful.
After the quantity that Miss Tang wants to purchase is met, and the drug store gradually drops the price of purple hemp vine to the previous level, Bing Wuge can still earn a reputation.
It not only satisfied Miss Tang's request, but also created a wave of goodwill in front of the people without any loss.
After hearing the conversation between Song He and Mr. Zhao, Zhou Jinyan wanted to understand the inner story and figured out the people's hearts. Except for Jian Yu, Zhou Jinyan had always been able to see through others easily.
"How can you be sure that the Miss Tang mentioned by Mr. Zhao is Tang Fu?"
Jian Yu was not immersed in the "story", she was talking about her questions.
Zhou Jinyan's eyes flashed slightly, the corner of his mouth raised, and he smiled quite ruthlessly and said: "I beat Mr. Zhao."
Jian Yu:......
? ? ?
In the end, Mr. Zhao did not tell Song He why he purchased those medicinal materials. He only said that Miss Tang had made her own decision.
After the two of them finished talking, Mr. Zhao left through the back door.
Zhou Jinyan followed closely behind him. In a dark and deserted dead-end street, he fell from the wall behind Mr. Zhao like a ghost. He put a dagger against his waist and said, "Scream and cut your tongue, and move your intestines."
Mr. Zhao slowly raised his hands to show his compliance. As soon as his hands reached his head, he turned around and attacked Zhou Jinyan.
With just one move, Zhou Jinyan knocked down Mr. Zhao and cut off one of his fingers as punishment for his disobedience.
Hearing this, Jian Yu's face was very calm, but in her heart, the villain was already drawing circles.
Is this a threat? Is it a threat? ! Is the dog assassin here to scare the monkeys? !
