One day, Su Luo transmigrated and became the mother of two children. Not only was she mentally deficient, but she was also a widow. The family was destitute, living in an abandoned tile kiln by the...
On the carriage, Su Luo had already thought things through.
Even if we deal with Anxintang and the other pharmacies, what difference will it make?
They are not the ones making counterfeit medicine. Even if they can't sell fake herbal oil, they will sell it elsewhere.
Unless, the people who make counterfeit drugs are arrested, the counterfeit drug problem is eradicated at its source.
"Lord Xu, Madam Xu, no one is more furious than me about this matter of counterfeiting Baicao Oil."
But a small act of impatience can ruin a great plan; today this person dares to sell counterfeit medicine in a pharmacy in Anchangzhou.
He must have known that the sale wouldn't last long; he just wanted to make a quick buck.
Since he wants silver, we might as well put a pile of silver in front of him.
Faced with such a huge temptation, I don't believe he wouldn't step forward.
This person was someone Yuan Ziwen knew. He wasn't a prominent figure, but his family background must have been quite extraordinary.
"Luo Luo, what do you want to do? How much silver do you need? I'll pay for it."
As long as it concerns Su Luo, Nangong Qing will not care about the money.
"The money may be real or fake, but the identity must be convincing."
I've come up with a plan. If you all agree it's okay, we'll act immediately.
Su Luo asked the others to come closer and explained her thoughts to them one by one.
After a long silence, Nangong Qing said, "Luo Luo, isn't it too dangerous for you to go alone?"
In Nangong Qing's mind, Su Luo always had her own ideas.
It was like he was chasing after her, and every time he was about to catch up, so close, he still couldn't hold on.
This feeling of powerlessness permeated his entire being.
"Even if there is danger, I have the ability to protect myself, and besides, they wouldn't dare to do anything to me."
The main concern is you and Ah Xu; you two absolutely must not reveal your identities.
The two men looked serious and grave; they were determined to bring this person out.
"Okay, Luo Luo, leave this to us without worry."
Su Luo said so much, but she never told Xu Hongkuo what to do.
"Lady Su, what about me? Don't I have to do anything?"
How could a dignified prefect be absent from cracking down on evildoers?
"Lord Xu, what you need to do is the most important part of the whole matter."
Do you know Yuan Ziwen from Juyuantang?
"I know him. Doctor Yuan is gentle and polite, and has an excellent reputation in Anchangzhou. Could it be that he has some problem with this matter?"
"It's unclear whether he has any problems, but I suspect that the person making the counterfeit drugs is someone he knows."
So please go and check who he knows.
This is a very difficult task. Judging from Yuan Ziwen's character, he knows at least several hundred, if not thousands, of people.
It is no easy task to gradually eliminate these people by manpower.
"I will investigate what Madam Su said as soon as possible."
...
In the afternoon, they all went about their respective tasks.
Su Luo was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and Old Madam Xu put all the jewelry she could wear into her head.
A gold necklace, a jade bracelet—not one was left out.
The moment she stepped out, it was like a walking treasure trove, with more than a dozen maids and servants following behind her—the behavior of a nouveau riche.
"Qiuyue, is Anxintang almost here?"
It was too heavy. For the first time, Su Luo really felt that these jewels were a burden.
"It will be soon, madam."
Su Luo usually dresses simply, and except for a hairpin, she wears almost no jewelry.
"Madam, even though you are dressed so elegantly and luxuriously today, it cannot hide your refined and otherworldly temperament."
Su Luo rolled her eyes at Qiu Yue. Her neck was about to give out, but Qiu Yue was still showering her with compliments.
Qiu Yue was amused by Su Luo's appearance.
"Madam, let me help you with this collar. You'll have to fend for yourself once you get off the carriage."
It took quite a while to reach Anxin Hall, where Su Luo's carriage stopped directly in front of the hall.
"Madam, we have arrived at Anxin Hall."
Su Zuo spoke from outside, setting up the ladder for Su Luo.
A dozen or so maids and servants followed behind the carriage, making it look like a nobleman going out in the street.
When Su Luo appeared, she was covered in jewels, which made the people look at her with awe.
They couldn't afford to pay for anything they were wearing if they just happened to bump into it.
The people buying medicine automatically made way for Su Luo.
"Dr. Dong, how well is your herbal oil selling?"
As soon as Su Luo entered Anxin Hall dressed like this, none of the young apprentices dared to speak loudly.
They were afraid of offending the important person, and the common people didn't dare to go in and grab the medicine because Su Luo was standing there.
They were afraid that if they accidentally bumped into Su Luo, they would be ruined.
"Doctor Dong, are you afraid to come out and see me? If you don't come out today, I'll stand here and not leave."
If I say anything unpleasant later, don't blame me for being rude.
Dong Yu peeked at Su Luo through the crack in the back door.
What is this woman doing here? The way she's making this scene today is clearly to cause trouble at Anxintang.
"Dr. Dong, Dr. Dong..."
This was exactly the effect Su Luo wanted, seeing that Dong Yu still hadn't come out.
Su Zuo carried a stool and had her sit directly at the entrance of Anxin Hall.
Dong Yu's eyes widened. This woman was utterly shameless.
"Oh dear, Grandma, how could you sit here?"
"Miss Su, I've brewed some tea in the back. Let me invite you to have some tea..."
Dong Yu forced a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Although Su Luo was making a fuss, she never let her guard down.
I scanned the QR code at Anxintang and found a person in the lobby.
He doesn't look like a medicine boy or a porter; his agile movements suggest he must be someone who has practiced martial arts.
Her intuition told her that this person must be involved with counterfeit drugs.
"Drinking tea is good. Is it the pine needle tea that I gave you? I don't drink any other tea."
Dong Yu felt uncomfortable and glanced at the common people outside the door.
He was afraid that Su Luo might say something she shouldn't, which would affect his ability to make money.
"Madam Su, whatever tea you'd like, please come in."
Su Luo sneered, kicked the stool, and then turned and went into the backyard.
Because of Su Luo's actions, the person guarding Anxin Hall also followed Dong Yu to the backyard.
Su Luo's face darkened as she looked at Dong Yu and the person behind him.
"Dr. Dong, who is he? Aren't you afraid he'll overhear us talking?"
"Don't worry, Madam Su, he's my servant, and he's very tight-lipped."
Dong Yu glanced back at the person behind him, showing no respect whatsoever for a master towards a servant.
"That's good! Anxintang has gone back on its word and started selling fake medicine. Aren't you afraid that Ji'antang will retaliate against you?"
Dong Yu poured Su Luo a cup of tea and laughed, "Revenge? Why should I be afraid?"
"Miss Su, you must be joking. Anyone can make herbal oil as long as they have the recipe."
I sell my herbal oil, but I never mention Ji'an Tang, nor do I tell any ordinary people that it is Ji'an Tang's herbal oil.
Anxintang and Ji'antang have no business relationship, and I have not used your names, so what reason do I have to retaliate?
