She pretended to think: "The old man bought the 500-year-old ginseng for 20 taels, and the 1,000-year-old Ganoderma lucidum... forty taels?"
The shopkeeper shook his head repeatedly and said, "Miss, this is not how you calculate it. Five hundred years and one thousand years, this is not just a matter of doubling the price." What a joke, it's obvious at first glance that this young lady is not from an ordinary family, he must squeeze out more oil.
"Then the shopkeeper, please name a price."
The shopkeeper thought about it and held up five fingers: "This number."
"Fifty taels? Yes, that's fine."
"Five hundred taels."
"Five hundred taels..." She looked embarrassed and looked at the Ganoderma lucidum. "Five hundred taels for a piece of bark, isn't that too much, shopkeeper?" When she looked up again, her face darkened and her eyes shone with a sharp light as she stared straight at the shopkeeper's face.
"What did you say?" The shopkeeper thought to himself that it was not good. He had run into a thorn in his side today. He was about to put the fake Ganoderma lucidum away, but Feng Yuheng was quick-witted and grabbed his wrist. His grip was like an iron clamp, and the shopkeeper was sweating coldly. "What are you going to do?"
At this time, Huang Quan brought the old man who had bought the fake ginseng back to Baicaotang. All of a sudden, all the customers who were getting their medicines and seeing their doctors at Baicaotang gathered around them. Even people on the street sensed that something was happening here and gathered around to watch the fun.
Huang Quan came over and asked her in a low voice: "Miss, do you want to send these people away first?" After all, they still have to do business in the future. If everyone knows that Baicaotang sells fake medicine, it will probably affect future business.
Feng Yuheng shook his head: "No need! Baicaotang has run like this, there is no need to continue, it is better to change the shopkeeper and change the business."
The shopkeeper was amused: "Little girl, don't talk too much! Do you know whose business this Baicaotang is? Who is the person behind it?"
Feng Yuheng pushed him forward, and the shopkeeper lost his balance and sat down on the ground with a plop.
"Tell me, which big shot behind the scenes told you to sell the tree roots as ginseng and use the tree bark as Ganoderma lucidum!"
After she said this, the old man who was chased back couldn't help but take another look at the ginseng in his hand, "This... is this fake?"
Huang Quan shook his head and said helplessly: "Old man, the purpose of opening a pharmacy is to make money. If it is really a 500-year-old ginseng, can he sell it to you for 20 taels? Asking you for 200 taels is too little. What you have in your hand is just a broken tree root, not worth a penny."
"What?" The old man was so angry that he threw the ginseng hard on the shopkeeper's face, pointing at him and cursing: "Black-hearted merchant! You cheated me of all my money and gave me a fake ginseng! I need to take it back to save my life! How could you do such a thing!"
For a moment, the people around also started pointing and talking.
The shopkeeper was not polite at all to the old man. He rushed over and raised his hand to slap him, but unfortunately his hand was halfway raised and was firmly grasped by Huang Quan.
This person was puzzled. Why were the girls who came today so strong in their arms?
"You've done something wrong and you still want to hit others? Who gave you the ability?" Under Huang Quan's push, the shopkeeper sat on the ground again.
When had he ever suffered such humiliation? Then he heard the shopkeeper pointing at Feng Yuheng and yelling loudly: "I tell you! This herbal medicine is from the home of the current left prime minister Feng Jinyuanfeng! I am the cousin of the eldest lady of the Feng Mansion, I want to see who dares to touch me!"
The cousin of the eldest lady of the Feng Mansion?
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. As soon as Shen was mentioned, Feng Yuheng became even more angry - "How could the wife of the current left prime minister in the Feng Mansion have a cousin like you? It is illegal to privately recognize an official relative! Huang Quan! Go and report to the authorities! Say that someone here is pretending to be a relative of the current left prime minister to commit fraud. Please ask the shopkeeper to explain to the Jingzhao Yin what is going on!"
When the shopkeeper heard that he was going to see an official, he became anxious and started to shout, "Where did this unruly girl come from? How could I pretend to be an official's relative? I am obviously the cousin of the left prime minister's wife!"
Huang Quan didn't care what he was yelling about. He turned around and walked out the door, directly stopping a group of officials who were patrolling at the entrance of Baicao Hall: "My dear officials, there is someone here pretending to be a relative of an official. We want to report him."
The officer was confused when hearing this: "Impersonating an official's relative? Impersonating which official's relative?" As he spoke, he led the team towards Baicaotang.
The people in the hall automatically made way for the official. The official walked directly in front of Feng Yuheng, glanced at her, then glanced at the shopkeeper who was jumping up and down and cursing, and frowned: "Silence!"
The shopkeeper refused to do so. He put his hands on his waist and his face turned red with anger. "Who do you think you are? A few patrolling runners dare to meddle in the affairs of the Feng family?"
The leading officer was stunned: "Feng family? Which Feng family?"
Without waiting for the shopkeeper's reply, Feng Yuheng raised his hand and showed a waist badge: "Of course it is the residence of the current left prime minister Feng Jinyuanfeng."
When the officer saw the badge, he quickly saluted Feng Yuheng and said, "Who is this young lady from the Feng Mansion?"
Huang Quan answered for him: "This is the second young lady of the Feng family."
The officer immediately bowed and said, "I didn't know the second young lady of the Feng family was here. I'm sorry."
Feng Yuheng shook her head and pointed at the shopkeeper, saying, "I don't know why this shopkeeper insisted that he was my mother's cousin." As she spoke, she handed the fake Ganoderma lucidum in her hand to the official, "He just sold me this fake Ganoderma lucidum made of tree bark, and he also managed this Baicaotang in the name of my mother's cousin. I really can't believe that there is such a relative in our family, so I asked the maid to report the case to Brother Guan, and asked the adults to bring this person back to the government office for a detailed examination. In addition," she raised the land deed in her hand, "this Baicaotang has been under the name of my aunt for many years, and my mother is just managing it on her behalf. It is really chilling to have such a shopkeeper in the store. I now announce that from today onwards, Baicaotang will expel this person and will never use him again."
"Yes!" The old man who had bought the fake ginseng before also stepped forward and said, "I will testify. At the same time, I will sue this person for selling fake ginseng and cheating me out of my money."
The shopkeeper knew something bad was going to happen when Feng Yuheng took out the Feng Mansion badge, and when he heard that she was the second daughter of the Feng family, he knew that she could not escape this disaster.
A few days ago, he received news from the Shen family, saying that the second young lady from the northwest had returned, and she was not a good person. She made a mess at home. He was afraid that she would not be able to take care of this side in the near future, so he had to manage the business well.
But I didn't expect that the second young lady would actually find Baicaotang, and...
He stared at the land deed in Feng Yuheng's hand, feeling uncertain.
The deeds to the land are all in her hands. Could it be that her cousin lost the fight?
It shouldn't be possible. Even if my cousin loses, my niece will definitely not lose. But why...
After several mental activities, he was stunned on the spot. The police didn't care about that. Feng Yuheng had both witnesses and evidence. What's more, the person he was suing was pretending to be her relative. This matter could not be taken lightly.
"Boss, come with us!" The leading officer frowned and raised his chin towards his men following behind him. Immediately, two men stepped forward and lifted up the boss.
"Let me go! You can't arrest me! I'm really a relative of the Feng family!"
The officer laughed, "The person who is suing you now is the second young lady of the Feng family. Even if you are really a relative, you are only a cousin. You are nothing in front of the second young lady! Take her away!"
With a wave of his hand, the people below quickly escorted the shopkeeper away. When the shopkeeper's shouting became farther and farther away, Feng Yuheng almost nodded to the leading official and said, "Thank you, brother official, for coming forward to uphold justice. If we allow this man to continue to do what he wants, I'm afraid that my Feng family's Baicaotang will become the target of public criticism."
"What are you talking about, Miss?" The officer said politely, "It is my honor to work for you, Miss. If you have no other instructions, I will take my leave."
Feng Yuheng nodded and gave Qingyu a look. Qingyu walked forward and quietly stuffed a large silver dollar into the man's pocket.
The officer was so happy that he promised to bring the shopkeeper to the government office, and then left in a hurry.
The people who were still watching the excitement in Baicaotang all put down the medicinal herbs they were about to buy and stared at Feng Yuheng in a daze.
The scandal of the shopkeeper of Baicaotang selling fake medicines made people wonder who would dare to buy medicine from there! But they actually saw with their own eyes the real owner of this herbal medicine shop punishing the hateful shopkeeper, which was really satisfying.
For a moment, everyone who was lucky enough to see this scene silently praised Feng Yuheng in their hearts.
This also included two people who were drinking tea in the second-floor teahouse opposite Baicaotang.
"Master, that girl is even more arrogant than when she was in the northwest." The person who spoke was Bai Ze. Her impression of Feng Yuheng always stayed in the deep mountains of the northwest. The second time she saw her was outside the city gate on the day when the army returned to Beijing. But no matter which time, Feng Yuheng was always in a mess, like a sensitive and prickly little leopard. If you say a word to her, she will be choked.
Today this girl has been promoted to a higher grade. She is dressed better and looks a little more presentable, but her temper is still as sharp as ever.
but……
"Well, Master, she is a perfect match for you."
Sitting next to him was a man in a purple robe, a neat waist belt, a jade crown to hold his hair together, with a straight back. He exuded an aura of majesty and domineering yet somewhat evil charm.
The man had a golden mask on his face, covering his entire face from under his nose to his forehead, except for a small hole between his eyebrows, through which a faint purple color could be seen.
It was none other than the current emperor's most beloved ninth prince, the newly-appointed His Royal Highness the Prince - Xuan Tianming.
At this moment, Xuan Tianming was staring at the Baicao Hall opposite with his eyebrows slightly lowered. He saw and heard every move and word of the little girl. Subconsciously, the corners of his lips curved up a little... It was getting more and more interesting.
"It seems that this prince made a good choice for this princess."
Bai Ze nodded, "Master, I am not complimenting our future princess! To be honest, the Second Miss Feng is a truly amazing woman. The Feng family threw her into a village deep in the mountains, but not only did she not starve to death, she actually lived a more exciting life. Not to mention that after she returned home, she made the mistress of the Feng family so busy that she couldn't get out of the house, just the way she treated your leg, and that spray of stuff, wow, it's really magical."
One night, after Feng Yuheng left, Bai Ze escorted Xuan Tianming out of the mountain, and they were ambushed as expected. Bai Ze was injured, and Xuan Tianming used Feng Yuheng's bottle of spray to relieve his pain. From then on, Bai Ze had been thinking about that bottle of magic potion.
"Look, now our princess has expanded her territory and started to take care of the outside business."
