Chapter 52
At first, a bold medicine dealer secretly sold some raw aconite to other small pharmacies, because the price offered by Kaitong Medical Center was too low, but that night, the medicine dealer was wrapped in a sack and beaten severely at the door of his house. After a blow, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he couldn't even speak clearly.
The family of the medicine merchant was upset and went to the yamen to file a complaint, but they were reprimanded by the officials and kicked out of the yamen.
Since then, no one dared to go against Kaitong Medical Center and sell aconite to other pharmacies in private.
"Isn't this a monopoly!" Xiaoruo said angrily.
"What? What kind of monopoly?" Shopkeeper Qian was a little confused, thinking that this girl Xiao Xiao is good at gunpowder and has a good heart, but sometimes she doesn't understand what she says.
Realizing that she had slipped her tongue, Xiaoruo smiled awkwardly and explained: "It means that he wants to occupy all the aconites, and he has the final say on how much he wants to sell at that time."
"That's exactly the reason!" Shopkeeper Qian slapped his thigh and said, "In order to create this monopoly, he insisted on eating all the aconites in Qinzhou. When we want aconites, we have to go to Kaitong to buy them!"
"There are quite a lot of aconites in Qinzhou, right? He has so much money to eat?"
"Aconite is the best produced in Shaanxi, and it is also planted in other places, but most of them are transported by caravans. There are indeed a lot of aconites that can reach us in Qinzhou every year. I heard that Kaitong borrowed money from Guang'an Bank this time. Eat all the aconites."
"Borrowing money to stock up..." Xiaoruo squinted her almond eyes, it seemed that she had to find a way to cure this conscientious Kaitong Medical Center.
"Treasurer Qian, don't worry, wait for me to go back and get ready, tomorrow I will tell you how to make Kaitong Medical Center spit out the aconite you eat."
The shopkeeper Qian was taken aback. How about Kaitong Medical Clinic, even if he sued the government? What can this girl Xiao do?
But no matter how much he asked, Xiaoruo always smiled mysteriously, and only asked him to wait patiently, and he would know tomorrow.
After paying Yu Bai's money for the medicine, Xiaoruo walked home with an empty basket on her shoulders.
The courtyard door of the house was still closed as it was when she left. She bent her knuckles and knocked on the door panel, and there was a soft and soft voice from inside the door.
"who's that?"
"It's me. You asked Grandpa to open the door for sister." Xiaoyou was short and couldn't reach the door bolt, so she had to call old man Cen or Zheng Dongyang to open the door every time.
Sure enough, there was the sound of coquettish footsteps running into the house from the yard, accompanied by her voice calling for adults.
"Grandpa, grandpa, sister is back~"
After a while, there was the sound of the bolt being pulled from inside the door. With a sound of "squeak--", the courtyard door was pulled inward, and it was Zheng Dongyang who opened the door.
"Ruo Ruo is back, you are tired, go in and have a rest." Zheng Dongyang said.
"It's okay, Senior Zheng, I'm not tired, why don't you see the old man?" In the past, it was old man Cen who opened the door, but today it was Zheng Dongyang, Xiaoruo was a little curious.
Zheng Dongyang put his index finger in front of his mouth and hissed, signaling her to keep her voice down, then turned around and stretched his neck to observe the room, making sure that old man Cen hadn't heard their conversation.
Xiaoruo became even more curious, what happened today?Why Zheng Dongyang is also strange.
"He's angry with himself." Zheng Dongyang whispered in Xiaoruo's ear.
"Angry? Why are you angry?"
"Hey, not long after you left today, I felt sleepy, so I went back to the room to take a nap. I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly opened the door of my room with a bang and called me to get up and accompany you. When I got up , he went back to his room angrily, and the door slammed loudly."
Xiao Ruo pressed on and asked, "Are you being mischievous?"
"No, I only found out after I asked you that they were the two of them in the yard after I fell asleep. Brother Cen probably wanted to go to the house to get something, so he left for a while. At this time, you heard someone outside the door When she was knocking on the door, she looked out from the crack of the door, and according to her, there was a beautiful puppet puppy moving around outside the door."
Xiaoruo's heart tightened when she heard this, but she didn't interrupt Zheng Dongyang and let him continue talking.
"Yiaoyou asked who was outside the door. The puppet dog outside the door shook her head and told her to go out and play together. The little girl only knew that strangers could not open the door when they knocked. Now it was a talking puppet puppy who knocked on the door, so she wanted to out."
"She couldn't reach the door bolt, she was quite smart enough to move a small stool to cover it, and when Brother Cen came out, Niaoyou's little hands were all on the door bolt, and she almost pushed the door bolt open. Brother Cen asked you what you were doing , Niaoyou said that there is a talking puppet puppy outside the door, let her go and play with the puppy."
"When Brother Cen opens the door, there will be no puppies outside the door, nothing!"
Xiaoruo understands that this talking puppet puppy is most likely a way for Ren Yazi to kidnap and sell children, to lure them out of the house so that they can be taken away.
Old man Cen was probably angry with himself that Niao Niao was almost abducted, so he felt sullen.
"I see." Xiaoruo put down the empty box, gave Zheng Dongyang a comforting smile and said, "Senior Zheng, please help me take care of you, I'll persuade the old man."
Zheng Dongyang nodded and greeted Xiaoyou to come over, and he came to continue reading the chapter that he hadn't finished reading just now.
As soon as Xiao Niao heard that she could continue the interrupted chivalrous story, Le Dian Dian ran over and sat down obediently.
Xiaoruo pushed open the door of old man Cen's room, and saw the old man sitting on the bed with his back facing the door, hunched over, his back revealing remorse and anger.
"Master? I'm back."
Old man Cen remained silent.
"What's the matter, old man, are you so angry?"
Old man Cen remained silent.
Xiaoruo sighed, walked up to old man Cen and knelt down, making her eyes level with him, she saw that old man Cen's eyes were red and swollen, and old man Cen cried.
"I just heard Senior Zheng talk about what happened in the afternoon." Xiaoruo said softly, "I can't blame you for that. Human Yazi's tricks are endless. Who would have expected them to use dolls to coax children to go out?"
"Almost... You almost got killed... If I hadn't gone into the house to find a medicine bowl and left you alone in the yard..." Cen old man choked up his words. "If you are gone, I will never forgive myself in my life..."
"Isn't Niaoyou all right now, don't blame yourself anymore, let's learn from a fall, and this kind of thing won't happen again in the future."
Seeing that old man Cen was still depressed, Xiao Ruo pretended to be angry again and said, "Young girl is also like this, I will spank her little butt a few times later, so that she can also have a long memory. If you can't open the door to strangers, you can open the door to strangers." Did the puppy open the door?"
When he heard that Xiao Niao was going to be beaten, old man Cen didn't care about blaming himself, and quickly persuaded Xiao Ruo.
"You are still young, you just need to talk to her carefully, but you can't hit her!"
