Chapter 72 The Bandit
"Oh?"
"Does he not have the final say?"
"Does what I said count?!"
Just then, a lazy voice came in.
The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically as he looked at the doorway, where the person he least wanted to see had appeared.
Huang Wei!
He had a big smile on his face. He could investigate the Yang family without any worries. How could he not be happy?
And all of this was naturally arranged by him.
Li Yuan and Liu He came to provoke the middle-aged man, hoping to embolden him to act even more recklessly.
Is simply investigating enough?
He's going to shut down Bailing Pharmacy!
With a wave of his hand, two torrents of water rushed into Bailing Medicine Shop, bringing with them all the constables from the Southern Police Station.
"Seal off Bailing Pharmacy for me!"
"Anyone who dares to resist..."
Huang Wei paused, his eyes fixed on the middle-aged man with a smile, "Kill him without mercy!!!"
Three words!
The entire Bailing Pharmacy felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Huang Wei...do you know what you're doing?"
The middle-aged man asked coldly, his face grim.
"I want to see whether your Yang family or the county government is more powerful in Baoshan County!"
"What are you doing!"
"Let's do it!"
Huang Wei had never felt so relaxed before. The Yang family... Hmph!
Taking action is the best way!
It all depends on whether the Yang family has the guts.
At Huang Wei's command, all the constables began to act, including Yang Lin, who, as a member of the Yang family, was now sealing off the Yang family's properties.
Even though he didn't want to, he had no choice but to do it.
Huang Wei's gaze was fixed on him, seemingly casually!
"Li Yuan, come with me up there."
"Yes, boss!"
Huang Wei walked in front, followed by Li Yuan, while the middle-aged man could only watch helplessly as the two walked up as if no one else was around.
"Crunch, crunch..."
The sound of footsteps on the wooden stairs suddenly stopped. Huang Wei asked the middle-aged man below, "I heard that your Yang family's big medicine ran out some time ago."
"It seems like no ships have been coming lately, has it?"
"you--"
The middle-aged man squinted; he had a very bad feeling.
Huang Wei shrugged. "Get everyone from Bailing Pharmacy down to the first floor and clear it out for me."
After saying that, he walked up again.
Li Yuan, who was following behind, chuckled to himself, wondering if he was about to become a bandit.
The feud between the two sides is truly deep!
"Of course, Huang Wei isn't simple either, otherwise the Yang family wouldn't have dared to make a move against him for so long!"
After all, he was only an eighth-rank official before.
With the Yang family's strength, killing an eighth-rank official silently would be as easy as child's play.
"Master Gou?"
Li Yuan guessed in his heart, judging from Huang Wei's behavior today, it was definitely true!
"This is my first time on the top floor."
Huang Wei looked around with shining eyes.
Only those invited by the Yang family are qualified to enter the top floor.
The Yang family had initially intended to reconcile with him and had extended an invitation, but he declined.
Huang Wei is not someone to be trifled with. He won't be easily fooled by a little kindness. He's been waiting for this day to come here honorably, and... all the major medicines here belong to him.
"Boss, I heard that all the medicinal herbs here are over five hundred years old, is that true?"
Li Yuan asked the question.
He had naturally inquired about Bailing Pharmacy.
There are five floors in total.
You can enter the first two, three, and four floors based on your spending power and financial status, but not the fifth floor!
You must have a very good relationship with the Yang family.
"Um!"
Huang Wei nodded and strode towards the medicine cabinet.
He immediately opened a cabinet.
Instantly, a refreshing fragrance wafted out. Li Yuan took a few breaths and felt refreshed.
"This ginseng is at least eight hundred years old."
Huang Wei's eyes widened. "Li Yuan, you pick a couple too!"
"Boss, really?"
Li Yuan was also taken aback; it was an unexpected delight.
"Of course, if the head gets meat to eat, you'll get some too. I'm not the kind of person who eats meat and drinks soup and leaves even the scraps for my underlings."
"Hurry up!"
"And the floors below, take everything that's over a hundred years old."
"The Yang family themselves said that the century-old elixir is gone, so who's to blame?"
During the previous plague, the government even offered to provide funds to purchase the medicine, but the Yang family insisted that the medicine was unavailable.
Exactly!
He took them all with him.
.....
The constable turned into a bandit and took all the medicine with him.
Moreover, before leaving, they even affixed a seal, which represented the government office and the imperial court. Even the Yang family members dared not tear off this seal casually.
"That feels so good!"
Inside the carriage, Huang Wei leaned back, his eyes brimming with undisguised smugness.
After all these years, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"The Yang family's side...?"
Li Yuan was somewhat worried about retaliation from the Yang family.
"I actually hope they make a move."
Huang Wei's eyes were full of mockery. The balance of power had been broken, and Master Gou had also reached the fourth rank.
In addition, there were rebels in the outer city.
The three major families must now restrain themselves and act subserviently, at least for the time being!
...
The news that Bailing Pharmacy had been shut down and all its medicinal herbs had been sold out reached the Yang family immediately.
"Damn it, is Huang Wei looking for death?!"
Yang Zhong cursed angrily, and the ground was a complete mess.
The reason he was so angry was that his father had handed over Bailing Pharmacy to him completely a year ago, making it his private property, so of course he was heartbroken.
"Young Master, the Master wants you to come over."
Just then, a servant arrived.
"knew!"
.....
main hall.
When Yang Zhong arrived, Yang Pei was already there, as was Steward Wang, the head steward of the Yang family.
"father!"
Even though he was burning with anger, Yang Zhong was still extremely respectful, or rather, fearful, towards his father, Yang Jing.
"Has Bailing Pharmacy been shut down?"
Yang Jing asked.
"yes!"
Yang Zhong replied, forcing himself to speak.
"Did Huang Wei take away the large amount of medicine?"
"yes!"
Yang Zhong was now drenched in sweat, because the Yang family had been insisting for some time that they had no more potent medicines, but now their Bai Ling Pharmacy had been found to contain them...
"More trouble than they're worth!"
"waste!"
Yang Jing glared at her eldest son with resentment; he was too stupid.
I had warned him long ago not to sell medicines that were over a hundred years old for the time being, but he still did!
"Just pretend those potent drugs never existed!"
At this point, the only option is to deny it, otherwise they will have offended the government to the death.
"yes!"
Below, Yang Zhong lowered his head and gritted his teeth as he replied.
So many potent medicines, this is practically going to kill him!
"Steward Wang, please keep the family in line for the time being."
"Yes, Master! The order has been given."
"Cooperate with the Southern Police Station!"
Steward Wang replied.
Huang Wei was a problem. As soon as he heard the news, he immediately gave instructions. However, Bai Ling Pharmacy was Yang Zhong's, so he couldn't interfere.
"Um!"
"besides...."
He looked at Yang Pei, "How's the investigation going? Have you encountered any strangers?"
"No results found yet!"
Yang Pei replied, "The information shouldn't have been leaked from us. It might have come from one of the other two companies, or... or perhaps from the government?"
