Shopkeeper Zhao smiled, "That's right."
"May I know who's behind this Hall of Spirit-Gathering?"
The man continued to ask.
Shopkeeper Zhao did not show any signs of impatience and continued to answer, "Please forgive me for not being able to tell you."
The man was not satisfied but just as he was about to ask more questions, a voice called out from behind him.
"Get out of the way, all of you get out of the way!"
The crowd paused and made way for a path. Under everyone's watchful eyes, a group of soldiers approached from behind.
The leader of the group was a middle-aged man. His face was filled with arrogance and a scar across his face made him look ferocious. His eyes carried a fierce light.
"Take everyone from the Hall of Medicine away!"
What?
Hearing this, the crowd was shocked. Why are these soldiers taking everyone from the Hall of Medicine away?
"General Li, don't you think you're going too far?" Qi Su walked out from behind Shopkeeper Zhao with a cold expression, "What crime did the people of the Hall of Medicine commit? Why are you taking everyone from the Hall of Medicine away? "
General Li was shocked when he saw Qi Su, "You're the owner of this Hall of Spirit-Gathering?"
"No, I'm just doing my job for someone else."
Qi Su frowned, "General Li, can you tell me why you're here?"
"Hmph!" General Li scoffed. Even though it was Qi Su, he did not give him any face, "The recipe for this Spirit Gathering Liquid came from the Imperial Palace and was stolen some time ago. Now that you're selling the Spirit Gathering Liquid, it proves that you've broken into the Imperial Palace to steal it! Guards, take everyone away and seal the Hall of Spirit-Gathering. "
Qi Su frowned, he finally understood General Li's intentions.
Originally, he thought that the people from the Imperial Palace would need some time to get their hands on the Spirit Gathering Liquid. He did not expect them to show up on the first day of business. It seemed that someone must have heard about the Spirit Gathering Liquid and wanted to get their hands on it.
"According to General Li, the recipe for the Spirit Gathering Liquid belongs to the Imperial Palace and even the Puppet Making Technique belongs to the Imperial Palace?" Qi Su's lips curled as a cold light flashed across his eyes.
"Of course!"
General Li raised his head arrogantly. He was following Concubine Qin's orders. She was the future Empress Dowager, who would dare to refuse something she wanted?
"What? This Spirit Gathering Liquid was stolen from the palace? And puppeteering? "
"These people are really bold. They actually dared to steal things from the imperial palace. Now they're here, aren't they?"
When the crowd heard this, they started discussing and looked at the Elixir Gathering Hall with disdain.
Qi Su's face darkened. "Since General Li thinks that we stole the recipe from the Imperial Palace, there must be someone in the Imperial Palace who knows how to make the elixir. Why don't you ask that person to come here and demonstrate how to make the elixir? If someone can make it successfully, I will immediately go to the Imperial Palace and plead guilty!"
General Li was stunned.
Qin Fei had asked him to come not only to seal up the medicine hall, but also to snatch the recipe. But Qi Su had asked him to find someone to demonstrate the concoction?
Where was he going to find them?
Seeing General Li's unsightly expression, Qi Su sneered and said, "So this is how the people of the Imperial Palace rob others? You even used such a high-sounding reason to frame my Elixir Gathering Hall? General Li, you used to be a decent man. I didn't expect you to become so shameless in just a year! "
