Chapter 541: Hitting a wall
"so what?"
Facing everyone's fearful or envious looks, Jiang Wan's voice became several degrees colder.
"You recognized the wrong person and caused my senior brother to be insulted by so many people. Shouldn't you apologize?"
"Apologize!"
Fuling raised her voice confidently, "My master has been practicing medicine for many years, and this is the first time someone has mistaken him for a thief."
She gets angry when talking about this. Her master raised her since she was a child.
In Fuling's heart, her master is like a father figure. She was naturally very angry when she was bullied by others.
Cheng Jin also echoed, "Whether you did it intentionally or not, you are sorry to the old man and you should apologize."
"They didn't do it on purpose, so they won't be able to use it, right?"
"Yes, he didn't suffer any loss, but the shopkeeper lost a ginseng."
"Yes, there's no need to be so aggressive."
“…”
Jiang Wan's eyes fell on the face of the person who had been helping the shopkeeper speak, and she gave Song Jiuyuan a look.
Song Jiuyuan stepped forward and grabbed a young man.
"You spoke to the shopkeeper before. Could it be that you have an unusual relationship with him?"
Jiang Wan noticed that this young man was extremely hard-working, whether it was forcing his senior brother at the beginning or helping the shopkeeper to clarify the matter.
Cheng Jin's mind opened up even more. "You didn't take the money from the shopkeeper and deliberately framed someone, did you?"
As soon as these words came out, the Valley Master and Fuling suddenly had an idea and cast vicious glances at the shopkeeper's face.
The shopkeeper was panicked and said hurriedly, "Don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant.
We actually lost a ginseng that was ordered by a customer.”
"What year is it?"
Fuling raised her chin slightly and looked at the person in front of her with fear, feeling a sense of displeasure in her heart.
The shopkeeper looked at the valley master's backpack guiltily, and there was indeed a ginseng lying in the valley master's backpack.
But he had picked these a few days ago and had no intention of selling them, so he had never taken them out, only revealing a few edges and corners.
In the past, those who were falsely accused were too panicked to consider these things carefully.
"What do you say?"
Jiang Wan glanced at the shopkeeper and everyone in the shop with a smile.
Among them were many people who came here to watch the fun, as well as some who knew the truth but were afraid of offending the shopkeeper.
"Yes, shopkeeper, you said the old man was holding the ginseng that was lost from your shop. Why don't you tell me the year of it?"
"I think you can even tell the characteristics. Since it's from the pharmacy, the people in your shop must recognize it."
"Or maybe you should apologize and make peace."
“…”
Song Jiuyuan pressed the young man in his hand and said, "I'll give you one more chance, will you tell me?"
The young man glanced at the shopkeeper fearfully, opened his mouth, but still said nothing.
It was obvious that these people were from other places, and they left after this incident.
But he couldn't, after all, he was a local and would have to live here in the future.
He can't deal with these local tyrants.
The young man was unwilling to speak, and the shopkeeper was terrified and said in panic:
"Fifty-year-old."
"feature."
Fuling really wanted to embarrass the shopkeeper from the bottom of her heart, and her attitude was quite aggressive.
Compared to his previous cold and indifferent appearance, he now has a more human touch.
Cheng Jin couldn't help but whisper, "It turns out that she also has feelings. I thought she was just a piece of wood."
"Everyone has feelings, but for Fuling, Senior Brother is the one who raised her since she was a child.
The master is your father. If someone insults your father, can you bear it?"
Jiang Wan tilted her head to glance at Cheng Jin, and gave him a look, asking him to keep an eye on the few people who had just spoken for the shopkeeper.
These people have obviously been cooperating with the shopkeeper for a long time, and no one knows how many people they have cheated in the past.
It's totally unscrupulous.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper had a headache. Facing the aggressive crowd, he could only bite the bullet and say:
"It's a very common ginseng, fifty years old, long and round in shape, with not many ginseng roots."
Most of the ginseng he had seen was like this, and the shopkeeper just wanted to try his luck.
"Master, take out your ginseng and show it to him."
Fuling has been with the Valley Master for so many years and still understands him.
He curled the corners of his mouth slightly, making it clear that the ginseng in the basket was different from what the shopkeeper said.
Upon seeing this, the Valley Master loosened the backpack in front of him and slowly took out a ginseng wrapped in red cloth from it.
The ginseng was not completely wrapped, and much of the ginseng beard was exposed. No wonder the shopkeeper and his men had evil intentions.
"This is not fifty-year-old ginseng!"
The valley master sneered and lifted the red cloth in front of everyone, revealing the ginseng inside.
This ginseng looks plump, with a lot of ginseng roots, and even has a scent mixed with the soil.
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly!"
Cheng Jin shouted proudly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the ginseng.
Someone exclaimed, "What a huge ginseng!"
"Although I'm not an expert, I can tell that this is definitely more than fifty years!"
"That's right. The old man's ginseng is his. We misunderstood him."
"The shopkeeper's face is so ugly, he deserves to be accused of slandering others!"
“…”
"Boss, you have been running the shop for so many years, you should be able to tell how old this ginseng is, right?"
Jiang Wan smiled and spoke in a light tone, but her words made the shopkeeper's face turn pale.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know him."
Fuling sneered and took the ginseng from the Valley Master's hand, took a closer look and said:
"Let me tell you, this ginseng is definitely more than fifty years old, at least eighty years old."
"Yes, I dug this from the mountain yesterday! It has not yet been processed into medicine!"
The Valley Master got angry when he talked about it, "I said many times that I didn't take yours, but you just stopped me. What's your intention?"
The owner of the valley was not stupid, but rather smart. He had climbed a mountain yesterday, so his clothes were rather old, and he did not expect to be taken as a fat sheep.
The onlookers were stunned.
"Oh my god, does that mean the shopkeeper has wronged the old gentleman?"
"I think he did it on purpose. This shop has lost things more than once or twice."
"We almost wrongly accused a good man."
“…”
"Apologize!"
Fuling glared at the shopkeeper in a loud voice, which made the other person's scalp numb.
Jiang Wan also said: "If you don't apologize, we will report it to the police now."
"I'll go, I'll go."
Cheng Jin volunteered, scaring the shopkeeper so much that he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"I'm sorry, old man, we misunderstood you."
"Whether it was a misunderstanding or you did it on purpose, I'm sure you know it."
The owner of the valley did not accept his apology and was obviously resentful.
Naturally, Jiang Wan couldn't interrupt at this moment. She and Song Jiuyuan looked at each other, and they both tacitly kept silent.
The shopkeeper looked at the increasing number of people coming to the shop to watch the fun and said with a headache:
"So how does the old man want to solve this matter?"
I'm really unlucky this time, I hit a brick wall!
