Second Married Dandy: She went crazy to kill the eldest daughter

Chapter 25 Purge
In the corner of the Duke's Mansion, Wen Yu watched Su Chengying's carriage leave the street, then hurried back to the wing of Jiaziyuan and said, "Miss, I saw the eldest lady leaving with my own eyes."

Su Zhenzhen, who was drawing her eyebrows in front of the bronze mirror, turned around and asked, "Do you know where you went?"

"I heard that I went to inspect the shop." Wen Yu replied.

Su Zhenzhen laughed when she heard this. Since she was inspecting the shop, she would not be able to come back in a short time. She looked at her exquisite makeup in the mirror, then stood up and said, "Let's go to the second lady's yard." Be a guest.”

Shangjing is the capital of Beiliang, and it exists like the capital of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It is noon, the shops on the streets are busy shouting, and people can be seen busy everywhere.

"Your Highness, the stores in front of you are your stores." Zhang's mother pointed through the car window and pointed not far away. The medicine the old lady took was all taken from her own pharmacy. She was very familiar with Dongfang's family. These pharmacies are still familiar.

"Our territory in Beiliang Shangjing is limited, so whether it is shops or pharmacies, the number is stipulated by the imperial court. I heard that the entire Shangjing can only accommodate fifty pharmacies, but our Duke's pharmacies occupy nearly half……"

Su Chengying looked in the direction pointed by Zhang's mother and saw no less than a dozen pharmacies on one street. But the strange thing was that people queuing up to see doctors and medicines could be seen in other pharmacies, except for those under her. The door of the shop is cold and cold.

"Are these shops closed today?" Su Chengying asked.

Zhang’s mother smiled awkwardly, “Why is this Qingtianbaishi closed? It’s just... Dongfang family only makes expensive and good medicinal materials. Ordinary people don’t know the goods..."

Su Chengying didn't believe this.

If the shop is really full of high-quality medicinal materials that are hard to find at sky-high prices, even if ordinary people don't dare to go in rashly, they will look up when passing by, instead of taking a detour.

Dislike and admiration are two different things.

Su Chengying asked the coachman to park the carriage on the opposite side of the street, and then got off the carriage accompanied by Zhang's mother. As soon as the two of them landed, they saw a middle-aged man rushing into the pharmacy.

"Please give me some medicine. If my child is delayed any longer, his life will really be lost..." The middle-aged man knelt in the drug store and begged bitterly.

The guys at the drug store glanced at the crying man, turned around and continued to be lazy.

Zhang's mother was shocked when she saw it, and quickly said to Su Chengying, "Look at what the man is wearing, he is a poor man. It's normal for people in the shop to ignore him. After all, running a business is not charity..."

After all, Zhang's mother was from the Duke's Mansion, so she wanted to save face for the Dongfang family.

Su Chengying remained silent and continued walking towards the pharmacy.

From a distance, it can be seen that the man is still kneeling and crying, "Masters, you are all big business people. Please give me some medicinal materials. It's not that I don't want to give you money. I, I am rich..."

The man hurriedly rummaged inside his sleeves, and after a while, several coins rolled to the ground.

The man quickly went to pounce on the copper plate rolling on the ground, but stepped on it with one foot, and together with the man's hand, he stepped on it firmly.

The man looked up and saw the shopkeeper looking at him with a sneer, "I want to come to Dongfang's shop to buy medicine with a few coins. Are you insulting the Duke's government?"

On the street, Zhang's mother saw a flash of panic in her eyes, but she still tried her best to explain, "Your Highness, you don't know that there are always unscrupulous people in Beiliang who want to blackmail our shop. What the shopkeeper did is just to protect the country." It’s just the reputation of the government.”

Su Chengying didn't argue with Zhang's mother, she just said, "Zhang's mother stays at the door, I'll go in by myself."

Mother Zhang originally wanted to continue speaking for the drug store, but now she could only open her mouth and was forced to stop where she was.

In the drug store, the man took out a prescription for medicine from his pocket, "The shopkeeper misunderstood. I don't mean to slander the Duke's government. It's just that your store prescribes prescriptions that other pharmacies don't do. I came here because I had no other choice." Please, my baby is only a few months old, please save his life..." The shopkeeper smiled coldly, without any emotion at all, "Since you knew you had no money at the beginning, you should not step into our store. The door of the drug store!"

The man cried, "I, I just want my child to take good medicine and recover quickly..."

The shopkeeper waved his hand impatiently, "Kick this poor guy out of here!"

After hearing this, the boy who was lying around with his eyes closed came over lazily, held the man and walked out. The man struggled desperately, but he was no match for these people.

The medicine shop was in chaos, and the passers-by stood outside the door and pointed.

Su Chengying stepped in, bent down and picked up the prescription that the man had dropped on the ground.

When you look carefully, you will understand.

I'm afraid the people in Beijing have long been extremely disgusted with these drug stores because of the extremely high price of medicinal materials.

Su Chengying understood it after thinking about it for a moment. No wonder when he checked the accounting records, he found that the entry and exit of these shops were in batches without retail sales. They probably relied entirely on other shops that specialized in treating the rich, dispensing and delivering medicines. income.

There is no need to see a doctor or greet customers, so you can make a profit every month.

The shopkeepers and waiters in this shop have long been made lazy, so how can they care about the lives and deaths of ordinary people?

No wonder the eldest lady gave these shops to her, because she clearly wanted to see her die.

The boys who were carrying the man out saw him and said quickly, "If this girl wants to buy medicine, please come in. Don't block us from throwing garbage at the door."

Su Chengying raised her eyes, looked at the fierce-looking boy in front of her calmly, and already had an idea in her mind.

If you want to use these shops to compete with the eldest lady, you must revive the shops.

And the first step is to purge.

Not only must we act vigorously and resolutely, but we must also have a great momentum.

It would be best to let the common people in Beijing know that these shops have now changed dynasties.

"Let him go." Su Chengying said, taking out a purse from her arms, "Don't you just want money? I'll give it to you."

Several boys looked at the shopkeeper inquiringly.

The shopkeeper took a look at Su Chengying and persuaded her with a smile, "I see that the girl is not too badly dressed, so why bother with such a poor guy's business?"

"Can't you act bravely when you see a righteous man? Can't you draw your sword to help?" Su Chengying looked at the shopkeeper seriously, "Are you saying that the shopkeeper doesn't make any money from the money that comes to your door? In this case, I think it would be better for this shop to go bankrupt."

The shopkeeper's face stiffened at Su Chengying's rebuke. Seeing more and more people gathering outside the door, he gritted his teeth and said, "Just don't regret it."
