< Today's second night watch! >
He saw a group of soldiers escorting more than ten large carriages clustered around the Jun Family's main gate. There was also a group of soldiers who were continuously unloading boxes from the carriages. One by one, the boxes were either exquisite or loose. They were being moved into the Jun Family's residence in an orderly manner. The pungent smell of medicine was coming from these boxes.
Fortunately, the boxes were being moved in and not out. Otherwise, Jun Moxie's first reaction would have been: they're being raided!
The scene was chaotic enough, but it was not over yet. There were dozens of old men and middle-aged men in long robes and mandarin jackets wailing and begging, making the scene even more chaotic.
What the hell is going on? What's going on? Is this necessary?
The Young Master Jun was full of doubts as he passed through the crowd. He was just about to step into the house when a few middle-aged men who had been crying saw him. They rushed over, and knelt down in front of him with a 'plop' sound. They begged with tears and snot, "Third Young Master, Young Master Jun, please be merciful, and let us go. We are willing to offer you a longevity tablet, and bless you with a long life. You will be a Marquis for ten thousand generations … But, we are just a pitiful small business, and we have the elderly and children to take care of. Please be merciful …"
Jun Moxie was startled. What does this have to do with me? What kind of words are these? Why does this young master sound more and more like those legendary bullies who force women into prostitution, who bully men and women, who wreak havoc? What kind of person is this, what kind of thing is this …
"What the hell is going on?" Jun Moxie frowned. He knew that he would not be able to get any answers from the people involved, so he directly asked the soldiers. Unexpectedly, the soldiers shook their heads, indicating that they did not know the reason.
Just as Jun Dashao was feeling gloomy, the ground suddenly trembled and a huge 'head' walked over.
"Third Young Master, I've brought you all the medicine you wanted. I've brought all the medicine that I could get and those that I couldn't." Fatty Tang's unique tone of voice came up to him like he was presenting a treasure. His fat hands, bigger than a bear's paw, gestured: "Here, these are all! Since we're brothers, you can rest assured! "
Jun Moxie felt a little dizzy. I told you to bring as many medicinal ingredients as possible, but this is a little too much. Also, what are these old men and middle-aged men doing? He couldn't help but ask, "How did you get so much medicine? And what's going on with these people? "
"Aiya, Third Young Master, we're all on the same side, so why do you have to speak like an outsider? Are you pretending to be confused? "Tang Yuan squinted his eyes, as if saying 'I understand and you understand'.
"Young Master Tang, Young Master Jun, please be magnanimous and let us go. Leave us a way out …" Those people surrounded Fatty as soon as they saw him arrive. They then knelt down like dumplings, and started to kowtow as if they were pounding garlic.
"You …" Jun Moxie was stunned for a long time before he vaguely understood the whole story. Looking at the situation in front of him, Fatty had probably raided these few pharmacies. Otherwise, there would be no place to buy such a huge amount of medicinal ingredients …
"You were in such a hurry at that time, and the quantity was so large. Where was I going to buy it for you in such a short time? So, this young master frowned, and a plan came to mind. I immediately devised a strategy, and won the battle from a thousand miles away! "
Speaking of this matter, Tang Yuan was very pleased with himself. He beamed with joy and said: "So, I made arrangements overnight to buy their medicinal ingredients from these pharmacies. But we asked for too much, and they actually said they were not willing. They said that if we sold them like that, they wouldn't be able to carry on with their daily business …"
Jun Moxie rolled his eyes speechlessly: You're talking nonsense. If you buy all their medicinal ingredients in one go, how are they going to carry on with their business? You should at least leave a few days for them to turn over, right? If you want all of them just like that, are you going to leave an empty shop for them?
"So Big Brother got angry!" Tang Yuan glared at him with a murderous look in his eyes. "Damn it, you actually used the excuse of not being able to do business with me to reject me. Since you don't want to do business with me, is it clear that you're bullying your customers? How preposterous! You dare to bully us two brothers? Is there still any law? Since that's the case, this young master might as well make sure that they can never do business again. So this morning, this young master went to the Ministry of Justice and asked for an official document. Then, I started a vigorous reorganization. At the same time, I closed the shops of the biggest and most arrogant ones. Now, all the medicinal ingredients have been sent here … "
Jun Moxie staggered. "What excuse did you use to raid my house? You want the approval from the Ministry of Justice just like that? Isn't that too awesome? "
"Third Young Master … Are you stupid? Why are you speaking like a layman? " Tang Yuan looked at him suspiciously. "As brothers, do we still need a reason to raid these people's houses? Raiding their houses means that we think highly of them! Putting a bunch of groundless things on us first, we'll talk about other things after raiding their houses. After a few days, if we're in a good mood, we'll let them go. If we're still in a bad mood, we'll just arrest them all and cut their heads off. That's all. It's so annoying! "
Tang Yuan curled his lips and snorted twice.
Jun Moxie's eyes widened. For the first time, he realized that he hadn't completely integrated with his original identity after crossing over. Tang Yuan's words were very reasonable. In such a feudal society, if a prince like Tang Yuan and Jun Moxie wanted to open a pharmacy … Was it really as Tang Yuan said: Do we still need a reason?
But, isn't this too overbearing and tyrannical?!
Not to mention anything else, whether it was Jun Moxie or Tang Yuan, they were both leaders of the princes who could do whatever they wanted. Not to mention raiding a commoner's house, even if they killed a bunch of people, they could still go to the Ministry of Justice and say: I killed them. But, if you want to make it seem like they deserved it, and that I acted bravely in self-defense, I should be commended by the Imperial Court. That's right, I also have to make the victims compensate for my mental damage. Humph, I was frightened. After I'm done, I'll send all the victims to jail. Don't let them bother me outside! If you guys don't do well, I definitely don't mind letting you guys play for a few days. It's decided …
This was the advantage of having a high position and authority. How many people in the entire Tianxiang Kingdom could afford to offend the two great families, the Tang family and the Jun family?
Not to mention this world, even if it was my previous life … ah … I didn't say anything, this is a different world.
Turning around, Jun Moxie looked at the pleading eyes of the crowd, and counted a total of seven pharmacies' shopkeepers.
This matter … this was too much. Fatty's actions would've been enough for the Hit-man Jun to kill him. But his motive … you say … this matter …
"Did you guys hear it just now? Do you know what's going on? Let me tell you, I'm not happy right now. Why don't you ask around, in Tianxiang, who dares to not do business with me?! "
Nonsense, Tang Yuan had directly shouted at the top of his lungs, how could they not hear him? At this time, even his intestines had turned green with regret … If I had known earlier, I would have sold it to him at a low price, or even directly given it to him. At most, I wouldn't be able to do business for ten days to half a month. But now, I'm about to be ruined …
Everyone fiercely nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice. "We are willing to offer our entire family's assets to the two young masters. We only ask that the two young masters let us off, and be merciful …"
"Fu * k! Is this Young Master that poor? Do I need you to offer anything? Besides, you don't have anything good to offer. Only medicines. Damn it, how can you give me medicine as a gift? Are you looking forward to my whole family getting sick? You'll only be happy if all of you die! "Tang Yuan shouted loudly as he pulled the Shun Feng flag.
We're looking forward to your whole family getting sick. It'll be a blessing for the people if you all die. The group of pharmacies cursed in their hearts, but their mouths were filled with fear and trepidation as they repeatedly apologized.
"Everyone, please get up. Our Aristocratic Hall is in urgent need of a large number of medicinal ingredients. So, we had no choice but to use this method to obtain these medicinal ingredients. I'll kindly accept these medicinal ingredients. You can arrange for the accountant to settle the bill with Young Master Tang. This Young Master has always done things with the genuine goods at fair prices. I've never cheated anyone. What do you think?"
Jun Moxie considered it over and over again. Then, he finally opened his mouth. What was the point of making things difficult for these pharmacies given his status? There wasn't any pleasure in it. Besides, Fatty had acted too excessively in this matter. So, it would be better to settle this matter as soon as possible. It wouldn't be appropriate to provoke unnecessary trouble.
"Yes, yes. This lowly one wouldn't dare."
"Why wouldn't I dare? I have the final say! Well, you can go back first. This matter is settled. " Jun Moxie frowned and looked at Tang Yuan, "Give them double the price for all the medicinal ingredients that I urgently need. In any case, I've already ordered them to prepare more goods. Moreover, I've also ordered the authorities to remove the charges as soon as possible. Let them be acquitted! "
Fatty Tang's fat face twitched in distress. Double the price …
"This lowly one wouldn't dare …" The pharmacies' owners heaved a long sigh of relief as the matter was finally settled. They didn't need to talk about those troublesome medicinal ingredients. At the very least, their lives were saved.
"Hmm, actually, I don't need that much. After I'm done filtering, you can take back the rest that you don't need." Jun Moxie nodded. Just as he was about to take a step forward, he stopped and said, "Oh, right. Call all of your pharmacies' employees over. Help me sort through them. Otherwise, how long will it take to sort through so many medicinal ingredients?"
The few shop owners agreed with a bitter look on their faces. They thought to themselves, What kind of world is this? We've been doing business honestly. Who did we offend? Suddenly, they raided our shops for no reason. Then, they threatened us with death. In the end, we have to be grateful to them for letting us go. We even have to send our own employees over to help us. We even have to take back those that they don't need? We even have to put on a smiling face. Despicable? Truly despicable …
If we knew this would happen, why did we do it in the first place?
For a time, in the hearts of the seven bosses, these words rose up at the same time.
"Alright, there's nothing else. Just do as I say. Everyone, disperse!" Jun Moxie lifted his robe and took a few steps through the door. He could faintly hear Tang Yuan's voice behind him. He seemed to be gritting his teeth as he said, "Come, come, come. Take your pick. I'll give you double the price …"
"We don't dare, we don't dare …" A series of fearful voices echoed.
