Lin Silang asked curiously: "How do you say this? Doesn't Baohetang always claim to be fair in price and honest?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand: "That's all just to trick laymen. I've been working in a drug store for seven or eight years, and I know all about the shopkeeper's virtues!"
He glanced at the cloth bag at Lin Silang's feet: "You want to sell medicinal materials?"
Old Mrs. Lin frowned and looked very distressed: "Yes, my family dug it in the mountains. It took them more than ten years of hard work to publish these. I thought that the drug store could sell them for a good price so that I could give my granddaughter a warm cotton bed in the winter." "It's a pity that we are laymen and don't know how to do it..."
The middle-aged man clapped his hands and said: "Then you have met the right person. I happen to know the young man from the town councilor's wife's family. I heard that their house is collecting medicinal materials at a high price recently. Why don't I introduce you to them?"
He looked at the three of his grandfather and grandson with mouse-like eyes, and saw that their clothes were shabby and patched, and their accents did not sound like locals. They looked easy to deceive at first glance.
Sure enough, when he heard his grandfather and grandson rushing to thank him, the look of determination in the middle-aged man's eyes became even more intense.
He led Mrs. Lin and others to the corner of the back door of a large house, and asked several people to wait for his return.
Xiangyun stretched his neck and looked outside, and found that the back door of the house was always open. Many people carrying vegetables and fruits, dragging cattle and sheep carts, and servants coming and going.
They were wearing uniform gray servant uniforms. If there was a stranger among them, you wouldn't be able to tell unless you were careful.
Soon, the middle-aged man came back with a tall and thin young man, wearing the same clothes as the servants of the house.
He opened his mouth and got straight to the point: "My master wants to check the quality of the medicinal materials. You guys wait here while I go in to get the medicine and come back later."
Just like what Mr. Lin described, no one is allowed to follow him, and he is not willing to pay a deposit.
"We, Zhou Yuan, are rich and powerful, so we will covet something like this from you? We won't go to Liuhe Town to inquire about my master's reputation abroad!"
The young man speaks in a arrogant and arrogant tone, and he really looks like a servant of a wealthy family. Most people will be intimidated when they meet him.
Lin Silang was well prepared and unfolded the bag to show the man: "Brother, the quality of our herbal medicine is definitely good. If you don't believe me, just take a look."
The young man glanced at it: "I said it's no use. My master has to like it. Are you going to sell it? There's a lot of work waiting for me in the house, and I don't have time to waste time with you."
Lin Silang didn't mind. He closed the bag and said, "Okay, I'm here to help, little brother."
The man happily carried the medicinal materials and left.
Sure enough, not long after, the pharmacy clerk who brought them here made excuses and wanted to leave.
Lin Lao Er and Lin Lao San, who were hiding in the dark and watching, looked into Lin Lao Er's eyes and immediately split into two groups to act separately.
Xiangyun leaned in her grandma's arms, looked at the blue sky and began to count in her heart.
When she was taking a psychology class, the professor said that counting could train children's concentration. She never thought that one day this method would be used on herself.
When she counted to the 698th number, Lin Dalang and Lin Sanlang each escorted two people over.
Lin Erlang walked at the end, carrying two big bags on his shoulders. On them was the word "Lin" that Lin Silang specially wrote with charcoal in order not to be confused with other people in his spare time. It was obviously the big bag of medicinal materials that he was deceived yesterday. .
The two swindlers had bruises at the corners of their eyes and were holding their heads as if they were frightened. They must have been dealt with badly just now.
Boss Lin kicked the tall and thin young man and said with a smile: "This kid is thin, but he runs very fast. I almost didn't catch up. I don't know what happened, but he stopped halfway to scratch his neck and scratch his arms. , Mom, look, his exposed skin is red and swollen."
Xiangyun and Mrs. Lin stretched their necks to look together, and saw that the young man's palms were very red and swollen, and there were bloody marks on his fingertips, which was pitiful and scary.
The two of them glanced at each other and looked away. The symptoms were too familiar. Isn't this the same as the yam that Lin Tianci dug back two days ago?
No wonder he hung around the bullock cart for a long time before going out. It turned out to be this idea.
Lin Silang's lips curved into a malicious smile, and he stepped forward to scare the man.
"Tell me! How many people have you deceived with this scam?" He took out a small white bottle from his pocket and poured it on the person's face. "This bottle contains a particularly powerful poison. Dare you say Lies will make your face swell like a pig’s head and you will behave like this for the rest of your life!”
Xiangyun said "ho ho" twice and waved his little arms to encourage Shiro.
[Let him turn into a pig's head, I like to see it. 】
The young man hurriedly covered his face, his body shaking like chaff.
He hasn't gotten married yet, and his wife has said that when he earns enough money to return to his hometown, she will take him to see a girl. He has a passable appearance, but she cannot disfigure it.
His arm was pressed by Lin Laosan again. The man felt that his bones were about to break. His face was covered with tears and snot, and he quickly confessed.
"Have mercy, dear man, we have only done this twice, and we have really only deceived your family! This method was learned by us brothers after they were deceived by others in other places. We originally agreed to find a few swindlers to deceive us, and we would make a lot of money." I’ll stop when I’ve lost enough money!”
As he spoke, he muttered a few words in a low voice: "We squatted in front of the drug store for a long time, and no one came to sell medicinal materials. Unexpectedly, we fell down the first time and encountered a tough opponent."
"The one who was taken advantage of" Boss Lin had a black line on his face.
Why did he carry it like this, bumping into two little liars who were new to the industry?
The middle-aged man saw that his companion's hands were bloody, and if he grabbed any more skin, no good piece of skin would be lost. He was afraid that the Lin family would use torture on him, so he hurriedly agreed.
"What my brother said is true! You also took away the medicinal materials, and even after a beating, you gave me the antidote. Give my brother the antidote, his hands are about to be broken!"
Lin Laosan snorted: "He deserves to die. The victim has suddenly become the perpetrator. If you were deceived before, you were worthy of sympathy, but what is the difference between your behavior and those of those liars now?"
The middle-aged man looked unhappy: "We are also forced to have no choice. Who is willing to do such unscrupulous things for the sake of survival? I see that your family is also from a poor background. Everyone is considerate and considerate of each other. Please let me and my brother go." Okay, this matter will be wiped out!"
"If you say cancel it, cancel it. Have you asked the Yamen?"
A heavy and steady voice sounded, and everyone followed the reputation. Two government servants in official uniforms, with sabers on their waists, came over in a menacing manner.
