Chapter 472 Acting in Person
Two days later, Doctor Zhu came to Su Yue's room with a fake face-changing technique. Su Yue casually read two pages and found nothing unusual, so he bribed a few thugs to cause trouble for Qi Zheng's pharmacy.
Then, Su Yue took out the script she had written and gave it to Doctor Zhu, asking him to read it carefully and act well when the time comes and not reveal his true colors.
Doctor Zhu, who has always been addicted to reading storybooks, is actually acting out a storybook for the first time, and his mouth is almost grinning to his ears.
He quickly took Su Yue's script, and after repeatedly assuring himself that he would definitely live up to Su Yue's expectations, he went straight back to his room.
At the Fourth Prince's Mansion, someone suddenly came running in.
"Doctor Qi, there is a trouble at your pharmacy." The servant ran out of breath and took a long time to speak.
"Who dares to cause trouble in my medicine shop? Do you want to die?" Upon hearing the servant's words, the middle-aged man in a green shirt put down the herbs in his hand, his eyes full of anger, and his small eyes were full of calculations.
"I don't know. I heard that he was collecting protection money." Seeing Qi Zheng's expression, the servant lowered his head in fear.
"Protection money? Is there anyone who dares to collect protection money from me, Qi Zheng? I want to see who is so bold."
When Qi Zheng heard that his pharmacy was going to charge protection money, he almost laughed out of anger. Who was he that he needed protection from others?
After saying this, he took a dozen people to the pharmacy.
On Su Yue's side, Doctor Zhu and Su Yue hid at the door of Qi Zheng's pharmacy, waiting anxiously. As for Xiao He, Su Yue placed her in their place and told her to stay well for the next few days.
Xiao He was reluctant at first and she cried and wanted to follow Su Yue. However, Su Yue forced Doctor Zhu to give the real face-changing technique to Xiao He for safekeeping and made sure it could not be lost. Only then did Xiao He sob and agree.
"Girl, your method won't be ineffective, right?" Doctor Zhu couldn't help but express his doubt when he saw that no one had shown up until noon.
"Don't worry, he will come." Su Yue said firmly.
The reason of collecting protection money was naturally given by Su Yue at the instruction of those thugs.
Qi Zheng had been staying in the Fourth Prince's Mansion all year round and was very respected. Suddenly, a group of people came and simply ignored him. They acted arrogantly and said they were collecting protection fees. It would be strange if Qi Zheng could tolerate it.
"Oh, he's really here. I haven't seen him for several years. He looks much older now."
Just as Su Yue was deep in thought, he heard Doctor Zhu's surprised voice.
"Which one is it?" Su Yue looked in the direction of Doctor Zhu's finger, and saw a dozen people coming over and asking curiously.
"The one in the front has changed his appearance now, but his eyes haven't changed. Don't be fooled by his small eyes. He is actually full of bad intentions. At the beginning, I advised my senior brother not to accept this person as his apprentice, but my senior brother insisted..."
Doctor Zhu kept chattering in Su Yue's ear. Su Yue took another careful look at Qi Zheng, then turned back and signaled Doctor Zhu with his eyes to stop talking and start preparing.
Doctor Zhu met Su Yue's eyes and then shut his mouth.
"Are you the ones who want to collect protection money?" Qi Zheng asked loudly to the thugs as he entered the pharmacy.
"Oh, it turns out you have a lot of people behind the scenes. Why didn't you tell me earlier? There are more people than us. We won't accept protection money. Go away."
There were only three or four thugs in total. Seeing Qi Zheng's behavior, they dared not stay any longer.
"Should we arrest them?" At this time, the person next to Qi Zheng looked at the backs of the thugs leaving and whispered.
"It's just a few people. I thought it was going to be a big scene. I guess they are desperate because they lost money in gambling, so they come to try their luck here. There are too many people here, so forget it."
Qi Zheng stared at the fleeing people sinisterly and spoke slowly.
Those who open their own pharmacy aim to make money by selling medicine. If a fight occurs in front of their door, it will always affect their business.
"Doctor Zhu, are you ready? It's about to begin." Su Yue asked in a low voice after seeing the thugs he had found leave.
"I've been prepared for a long time." After hearing Su Yue's words, Doctor Zhu rubbed his hands together.
"Then let's start." Su Yue saw Qi Zheng walking out of the pharmacy. After saying this, she ran towards Qi Zheng with the fake face-changing technique.
"You little bitch, give my treasure back to me right now!" Doctor Zhu shouted and chased after her.
"Master, we are so poor that we can't even afford to eat. Let's just sell this." Su Yue swiftly ran behind Qi Zheng and spoke loudly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if I pawn the clothes we wear, I won't touch this treasure of mine!"
Doctor Zhu was so angry that his beard was about to stand up. He walked in front of Qi Zheng and looked at Su Yue behind him and was about to curse.
Qi Zheng was originally very impatient because his way was blocked, but when he saw the face of the person opposite him, he was suddenly stunned.
Isn’t this old man in front of me his uncle from a long time ago? He just looks a little older.
When they raided Yaowang Valley before, Qi Zheng found out from interrogation that he had stolen Yaowang Valley's treasure, the Face Changing Technique, and disappeared. Yaowang Valley had been looking for him, but he didn't expect to come across him.
"Please move aside. I'm teaching my disciple a lesson." Doctor Zhu glanced at Qi Zheng without any other expression on his face. He really looked like a man who was very angry with his disciple.
When Qi Zheng heard this, his expression changed, but he didn't say anything and just moved away.
"Master, these clothes are all we have left. You are still thinking of selling them. If we sell these treasures, we will have no worries about food and drink."
Seeing Qi Zheng dodged, Su Yue found another person to hide behind her. When she finished saying this, she deliberately spread the cloth in her hand to reveal a little bit of what was inside.
Upon hearing this, Qi Zheng casually glanced at what Su Yue was holding, but saw the words "face-changing".
He turned around and wanted to take a closer look, but was wrapped up by Su Yue again.
"That's Master's treasure. You might as well sell me instead of selling it!"
Doctor Zhu noticed that Qi Zheng's expression had changed, so he continued speaking with anger.
"Master!" Su Yue heard Doctor Zhu say this and deliberately acted conflicted. She looked at Doctor Zhu and then at the thing in her hand.
"Be good and listen to me. Master knows medicine and you won't starve to death. You must not sell this thing."
Seeing that Su Yue's attitude had softened, Doctor Zhu stepped forward, grabbed Su Yue, took the things in Su Yue's hand, and then pulled Su Yue away.
"Uncle-master, long time no see." Just when Doctor Zhu had taken a few steps and was not yet stopped by Qi Zheng, and his heart was beating fast, he finally heard Qi Zheng speak.
Doctor Zhu let out a sigh and looked back with doubts.
"Who are you?"
