Noon on the second day.
The streets are already busy with people coming and going.
Jia Shunwen finally woke up from his hangover. He yawned and walked out of the room. The maid waiting outside the door immediately handed over the prepared sobering tea.
Jia Shunwen took a sip of tea, frowned and spit it out again.
"What the hell! How many times have I told you that this sobering tea should be brewed with morning dew water! It's so astringent, are you going to poison me to death!?" He looked at the maid with a fierce look on his face and cursed loudly.
The girl, who was about seventeen or eighteen years old, was obviously extremely frightened of Jia Shunwen. She knelt on the ground with a plop, her body trembling and begging for mercy: "I just used today's morning dew, but... but the quantity was not enough, so I mixed some yesterday's dew... …”
"How dare you talk back!" Jia Shunwen's face became more and more unhappy when he heard this. He reached out and slammed the tea cup in his hand to the ground.
The porcelain cup shattered, and the fragments scattered everywhere. One of the fragments cut the girl's cheek, and blood immediately overflowed. However, the girl did not dare to cry out in pain. She just suppressed the pain and said: "I don't dare, sir, please spare your life... Lord, please spare your life..." …”
"You bastard!" Jia Shunwen glared at her displeasedly, then ignored her and walked forward. There were two more maids waiting there. When Jia Shunwen came forward, they all stepped forward. While serving Jia Shunwen to get dressed, Jia Shunwen would grope the two maids' bodies unscrupulously during this process. His methods were rough, and the two maids immediately frowned, but did not dare to say a word and could only endure it silently.
Finally, he was fully dressed, opened the door in front of him, and walked in.
It was actually a drug store.
The store is very large, with various medicinal materials displayed everywhere. More than ten clerks are busy in it, and there is an endless stream of customers.
Seeing Jia Shunwen appear, the waiters in the store saluted him one after another.
Jia Shunwen, however, was not interested and waved to them casually, and then walked to the door of the drug store alone.
The late autumn afternoon sun shone on him, and he stretched. He couldn't help but think back to the courtesan in the Baihua Tower yesterday. The figure, the skin, and the fragrance all made him unsatisfied.
He was secretly calculating the money in his hand, thinking that he must visit again tonight to enjoy the gentle countryside.
Thinking of this, he felt very good.
"Sir, I have sorted out the accounts for last month. Please take a look, sir." At this moment, a man in his early fifties who looked like a shopkeeper came to him and said with a smile, while handing over made an account.
Jia Shunwen took the account and looked through it at will.
In fact, he is not good at this.
The business of the drug store is very good. Not to mention every month, the daily turnover is dozens of pages long. Jia Shunwen has no time to check them one by one. For him, he only cares about whether the final profit from the final account can be reported to the sect. The difference, and how much silver can I get in addition to the apparent profit.
The shopkeeper was obviously a very discerning person. While Jia Shunwen pretended to look through the account book, he secretly handed the loaded banknotes from under the account book into Jia Shunwen's arms, and then He patted it gently and whispered: "This is the young master's monthly money for this month, a total of sixteen thousand taels, please keep it."
When Jia Shunwen heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he immediately closed the account and handed it back to the other party.
"Shopkeeper Xu's work is reassuring." Jia Shunwen said with a smile.
The shopkeeper looked flattered when he heard this: "Everywhere, the young master has given me this livelihood. I will naturally do my best to work for the young master."
But Jia Shunwen said with a straight face: "This is wrong. This industry belongs to White Camelback. You and I are both sect members!"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately accused him one after another.
But both of them knew that such words were just for the occasion, and they laughed again after saying this.
Jia Shunwen was in a good mood after receiving this month's monthly payment, and secretly admired the wise decision he made to get this job that he had worked so hard to get.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise from another door of the pharmacy.
Jia Shunwen frowned and looked sideways, only to see three or four more ragged people fighting with a waiter at the door of the store.
"What's going on?" he asked.
When the shopkeeper surnamed Xu heard this, he glanced sideways and said lightly: "Oh, it's people who don't have money to buy medicine. Since the last price increase, people have been coming to the door from time to time these days to make trouble."
"Huh?" After hearing this, Jia Shunwen walked over and saw one of them holding the waiter in the shop. He was pale, his eyes were bulging, and he looked like he was talking crazy.
"Sir, give me one!"
"I beg you!"
"I feel so uncomfortable. As long as you give me a molten fire powder, I can do whatever you want!"
The man begged, looking hungry and thirsty, like a person who had not had water for several days and was looking for a source of water.
The waiter at the drugstore was dragged by several people and was helpless.
At this time, Jia Shunwen came over. He didn't say anything, but just kicked him out.
Those people were obviously extremely weak. Under Jia Shunwen's kick, they immediately fell to the ground and wailed.
"You don't have money and you want to take medicine? Do you really think that Xuancheng Pharmacy is a charity?" He pointed at those people and shouted loudly.
"The freeloader is on your Grandpa Jia! You're looking for death!"
Those few people had probably heard of Jia Shunwen's bad reputation. They were kicked to the ground by the other party, but no one dared to resist. They just looked at each other in fear.
But Jia Shunwen was not relieved. He pointed at the group of people and said loudly: "Go away! You are doing business in front of me. If you can't do it, I will break your legs right now!"
Jia Shunwen is also well-known as a villain in Tianxuan City. Ordinary people in Tianxuan City would not dare to provoke him.
At this moment, Jia Shunwen was obviously very angry, and the beggars in ragged clothes were indeed frightened.
But they didn't leave, even though it seemed that this was the best choice for them at the moment.
Although these beggars looked horrified, they still stayed where they were.
One of them swallowed his saliva and mustered up the courage to whisper: "Jia... Master Jia..."
"Just give me a pill. When I make money, I will do it as soon as possible..."
Before he finished speaking, Jia Shunwen stepped up to him, raised one foot and stepped heavily on the other person's knee.
Under the tremendous force, the man's legs were obviously bent and deformed, accompanied by a heart-rending wail.
"You can't understand people, can you?"
"Do you take what I said as fart?"
"Do you think you are taking advantage of me?"
Jia Shunwen said through gritted teeth, and at the same time, his foot stepped on the opponent's knee and kept exerting force. He only heard the opponent's knee making a crunching sound at that time - that was the sound of bones being crushed.
Jia Shunwen stared at the other person with squinted eyes, listening to the moans coming from the other person's mouth, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he was enjoying the scene of torturing the other person.
…
"right here?"
Chu Qingxiao came to the medicine shop and looked sideways at Xue Sanniang beside him.
Xue Sanniang's face turned a little pale, as if she had not fully recovered from yesterday's attack, but fortunately she was no longer in danger of her life.
Xue Sanniang raised her head when she heard this and looked at the shop in front of her.
The store has a luxurious facade, the size of four or five ordinary storefronts. In the center, on a huge plaque made of black solid wood, there are four large gilt characters - Xuancheng Pharmacy!
Looking at those four words, Xue Sanniang's face, which had no color at all, became increasingly pale.
Her body began to visibly tremble, as if something she didn't want to remember began to arise in her mind.
Song Qingqing, who was beside her, naturally understood what she was thinking. She stretched out her hand and gently stroked Xue Sanniang's back, trying to comfort her. Xue Sanniang felt this, and turned her head to look at Song Qingqing gratefully, while whispering in a low voice. : "Qingqing, I can do it."
Chu Zhaozhao and Meng Jin also frowned at this time, and the expressions on their faces became serious.
Only Xu Yixiu, who came with him, looked confused.
After seeing Chu Qingxiao's method of symbiosis with the gods yesterday, she had been in a state of confusion.
She couldn't quite accept that a guy with a bad image in her mind had such abilities.
So much so that after seeing Xue Sanniang again this morning, she forgot to go up to express her gratitude. Instead, she kept looking at Chu Qingxiao overtly and covertly, trying to confirm what was so extraordinary about this guy and how he could learn the method of symbiosis between gods and spirits. .
In a state of confusion, after breakfast, Chu Qingxiao suddenly stood up and said that he wanted to seek an explanation for the attack on Xue Sanniang yesterday.
I thought that Chu Qingxiao had found out the mastermind behind it, but when Xu Yixiu asked this question, Chu Qingxiao shook his head and said that he did not know who the murderer was.
Xu Yixiu felt strange and didn't understand what Chu Qingxiao meant. Chu Qingxiao didn't explain too much. She was about to go out with Xue Sanniang and others. Xu Yixiu also remembered her responsibilities, regardless of the fact that she had not been punished by Chu Qingxiao. The invitation followed him very consciously.
She originally thought they would go to a secret hideout to look for the murderer, but who knew that Chu Qingxiao led everyone directly to the downtown area of Tianxuan City. After passing through several streets, they came to a place in front of the downtown area where business was very good. in front of the drug store.
Xu Yixiu was still puzzled, but at this moment, Xue Sanniang suddenly looked ill.
She saw Xue Sanniang's fists clenched and her body trembling, obviously trying her best to suppress the emotions surging in her heart.
She didn't understand what was so special about this drug store.
But at this moment, a burst of blood suddenly burst out in front of the medicine shop. It was a young man in brocade clothes who was beating several people in ragged clothes with a wooden stick.
The man looked miserable, with blood spurting out of his mouth.
Xu Yixiu frowned when she saw this appearance. When she was almost about to take action, Chu Qingxiao beside her dodged and got there before her. He used his own hands to block the wooden stick that the other party was about to swing. .
