Chapter 399 The Habit of Defaulting on Debts
"Don't ask too many questions, just follow me." Doctor Hu waved his hand a little impatiently, then turned around and continued walking.
Shen Qingqian hesitated for a moment and then followed.
The two of them soon arrived at the stable. Xiao Sun had already harnessed the carriage and was waiting there with the horse.
"Doctor Hu, Miss Chen." Xiao Sun greeted the two.
Shen Qingqian responded, turned her head to look at Doctor Hu, and suppressed the doubts in her heart and did not ask.
But she probably knew what the old man wanted to do.
The two got on the carriage and headed straight for Ebei City.
Xiao Sun is a good driver, the speed is fast but the ride is not bumpy.
The city gate was under martial law, but as soon as Doctor Hu lifted the curtain of the carriage, the soldiers guarding the city immediately let them pass respectfully.
"This is not a simple matter. We need to act quickly." Doctor Hu frowned as the curtain was lowered.
Shen Qingqian had thought of something when she saw the city gates under martial law just now, and hearing it from Doctor Hu confirmed her guess.
But because the old man had told her not to ask, she really didn't ask a single question.
"You little girl, why are you so depressed? You didn't even say a word the whole way." Doctor Hu suddenly glared at Shen Qingqian and complained.
Shen Qingqian rolled her eyes in her heart, "You are really putting the blame on me. Didn't you forbid me to ask?"
"I! Uh, you don't ask what I'm going to do, but you can say something else!" Doctor Hu was choked and quickly made up an excuse.
Shen Qingqian blinked innocently, "But I don't want to know anything else."
"You!" Doctor Hu choked again. "Hmph! You're so sharp-tongued!"
Why don't young girls these days know how to seize opportunities? Ask him more about his medical skills!
Shen Qingqian tried to suppress her laughter, but her face was full of innocence.
The two of them were awkwardly talking for a while, and after a while, Xiao Sun said, "Doctor Hu, he's here."
Shen Qingqian quickly lifted the car curtain and looked up to see Jingrentang.
Sure enough, her guess was almost right. The old man came to the pharmacy to "intercept".
Doctor Hu got out of the car, walked in with great momentum, and shouted, "Old Yu, a big business has arrived, hurry out!"
When the shop assistants saw that it was him, the expressions on their faces were amazing.
How to say it, Shen Qingqian didn't see any "welcome" or "joy" on their faces.
Just as he was thinking about it, an old man walked out quickly from behind the herbal medicine shop.
"Oh, my old ancestor, why are you here again? Didn't I tell you last time that our temple here is too small to do business with your Hubei Army?"
Shen Qingqiu hadn't expected this opening. It looked like Jing Ren Tang really didn't welcome Imperial Physician Hu at all.
"Why can't it be done? Didn't it work well the previous few times? I trust the medicine from your Jingrentang." When saying this, Doctor Hu's eyes wandered everywhere, and he didn't dare to look Old Yu in the eye.
Old Yu was almost dying of worry. "Old Hu, how could you bring up what happened the other time? You haven't even paid the first payment!"
The Hubei Northern Army owed him several thousand taels of silver in total, and all of them were paid by Doctor Hu himself.
At first, he gave the goods away without hesitation because they were old friends. But later on, he found out that doing business with the Ebei Army was really difficult. After the fifth transaction, he still hadn't even settled the first payment!
When Shen Qingqian heard this, she went to see Doctor Hu in surprise.
No way, the Ebei Army still has the habit of refusing to pay debts?
