She pretended to think: "A five hundred year old ginseng was bought by that old man for twenty taels. A thousand year old lingzhi … … forty taels?"
The shopkeeper shook his head again and again, "Miss, that's not how things are calculated. Five hundred years and a thousand years, that's not just a matter of doubling the price. "What a joke, this young miss clearly didn't come from an ordinary family. He had to squeeze more out of her.
"Then, shopkeeper, just name a price."
The shopkeeper thought for a moment, then stretched out five fingers: "This amount."
"Fifty taels? En, that's fine. "
"Five hundred taels."
"Five hundred taels … …" She revealed an awkward expression and looked at the lingzhi, "A piece of bark for five hundred taels, shopkeeper, isn't this a bit too much?" When she raised her head again, her expression sank. Her eyes revealed a sharp light as she glared at the shopkeeper's face.
"What did you say?" The shopkeeper secretly cursed in his heart. Today, he had encountered a problem. Just as he was about to put away the fake lingzhi, Feng Yu Heng's eyes were sharp and her hands were fast. She grabbed his wrist, and her grip was like an iron clamp, causing the shopkeeper to break out in a cold sweat. "What are you doing?"
At this time, Huang Quan brought the old man who had previously bought the fake ginseng back to Hundred Herb Hall. In a moment, the customers who were looking for medicine at Hundred Herb Hall all gathered around. Even the people on the street felt that something was happening and all gathered around to watch the show.
Huang Quan leaned over and whispered to her: "Miss, do you want to dismiss the people first?" After all, they still had to do business in the future. If everyone knew that Hundred Herb Hall was selling fake medicine, it would affect their business in the future.
Feng Yu Heng shook her head: "No need! Hundred Herb Hall is like this, there's no need to continue. It's better to change the shopkeeper and change the business. "
The shopkeeper was angry: "Little miss, don't talk too big! Do you know whose business Hundred Herb Hall is? Who is the person behind it? "
Feng Yu Heng pushed him forward, and the shopkeeper lost his footing and plopped down on the ground.
"Tell me, which big shot behind the scenes told you to sell the roots as ginseng and use the bark to pass off as Ganoderma?"
When she said that, the old man who was chased back couldn't help but look at the ginseng in his hand again. "This … this is fake?"
Huang Quan shook his head and helplessly said, "Uncle, the purpose of opening a pharmacy is to make money. If it's really a 500-year-old ginseng, why would he sell it to you for 20 taels? Even two hundred taels is a small amount. What you're holding in your hand is just a broken tree root. It's worthless. "
"What?" The old man was so angry that he threw the ginseng at the shopkeeper's face. He pointed at him and scolded, "You black-hearted merchant! You cheated me of all my money and even gave me a fake ginseng! This was to be taken back to save a life! How could you do such a thing! "
For a moment, the surrounding crowd also began to point and whisper.
The shopkeeper was not the least bit courteous to this old man. He rushed over and raised his hand, wanting to slap him. Unfortunately, his hand was firmly grasped by Huang Quan.
This person was puzzled. Why was it that all of the young girls that came today had so much strength in their hands?
"After doing something wrong, you still want to hit people? Who gave you the ability? "Under Huang Quan's shove, the shopkeeper once again sat on the ground.
When had he ever suffered this kind of humiliation? They heard the shopkeeper point at Feng Yu Heng and loudly shout: "I'll tell you! This Hundred Herb Shop was opened by the current left prime minister, Feng Jin Yuan! I am the cousin of the Feng manor's head madam. I want to see who dares to touch me! "
The cousin of the Feng manor's head madam?
It would have been better if he did not say this. Once he mentioned the Shen Clan, Feng Yu Heng became even angrier "In the dignified Feng manor, how could the head madam of the current left prime minister have a cousin like you? Privately acknowledging a relative of an official is against the law! Huang Quan! Go report this to the government! Just say that someone here is pretending to be a relative of the current left prime minister to cheat people. Ask this shopkeeper to personally explain to the governor what exactly is going on! "
Hearing that he had to go to the government, the shopkeeper became anxious and stomped his feet: "Where did this unruly girl come from? How could I be pretending to be a relative of an official. I am clearly the cousin of the head madam of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zuo! "
Huang Quan did not care about what he was screaming about. Turning around, he went out and stopped a group of officials who happened to be patrolling the entrance of Hundred Herb Hall: "Officials, there is someone here who is pretending to be a relative of an official. We want to report this."
The officials heard this and were confused: "Pretending to be a relative of an official? Pretending to be a relative of an official? "While saying this, he led the group into Hundred Herb Hall.
The people in the hall automatically opened up a path for the officials. The officials walked directly in front of Feng Yu Heng and looked at her. They then looked at the shopkeeper who was stomping his feet and cursing. Frowning, they said: "Silence!"
How could the shopkeeper be willing. With both hands on his waist, his face turned red with anger "Who do you think you are? A few patrolling officials dare to meddle in the Feng family's business? "
The leading official was stunned: "Feng family? Which Feng family? "
Without waiting for the shopkeeper to reply, Feng Yu Heng raised her hand and revealed a token: "Naturally, it is the residence of the current prime minister, Feng Jin Yuan."
The officials saw the token and quickly saluted Feng Yu Heng: "I wonder who this young miss is in the Feng manor?"
Huang Quan replied for them: "This is the Feng family's second young miss."
The officials immediately saluted: "I did not know that the Feng family's second young miss was here. I have been rude."
Feng Yu Heng shook her head and pointed at the shopkeeper, saying: "I do not know why this shopkeeper insists on saying that he is my mother's cousin." While saying this, she handed the fake Lingzhi mushroom to the officials: "Just now, he sold me this fake Lingzhi mushroom made from tree bark and used my mother's cousin's name to manage this Hundred Herb Hall. I truly do not dare believe that our family would have such a relative, thus I had the servant report this matter to the official. I also ask the officials to bring this person back to the government office for further investigation. Also, "She waved the deed in her hand," This Hundred Herb Hall has been under my concubine mother's name for many years. My mother is only managing it on her behalf. For this kind of shopkeeper to appear in this shop is truly disappointing. I will now announce that from this day forward, Hundred Herb Hall will expel this person and will never use him again. "
"Correct!" The old man who had bought the fake ginseng stepped forward and said: "I will testify. At the same time, I will sue this person for selling fake ginseng and cheating me of my money."
The shopkeeper knew that something bad was about to happen when Feng Yu Heng took out the Feng manor's token. Even more, when he heard that she was the Feng family's second young miss, he knew that he would not be able to avoid this calamity.
A few days earlier, he had received news from the Shen Clan that the Northwest's second young miss had returned and was not a good person. She had caused a ruckus in the family. He feared that she would not be able to attend to this side for a while, so he had to properly manage the business.
However, he never thought that the second young miss would actually come to Hundred Herb Hall. Also …
He stared at the deed in Feng Yu Heng's hand and felt uncertain.
The deed was in her hands. Could it be that his cousin had lost?
Logically speaking, that should not be the case. Even if his cousin had lost, his niece definitely would not have lost. But why …
After thinking about it a few times, he froze on the spot. The officials did not care about that. Feng Yu Heng's side had witnesses and evidence. Moreover, the person being accused was a fake relative of her family. This matter could not be taken lightly.
"Shopkeeper, come with us!" The head official's face became cold and raised his chin towards the subordinates behind him. Immediately, two people stepped forward and grabbed the shopkeeper.
"Let me go! You can't arrest me! I really am a relative of the Feng family! "
The official laughed, "The person suing you right now is the Feng family's second young miss. Even if you really are a relative, you are only a cousin. In front of the second young miss, you are nothing! Take him away! "
With a wave of his hand, the people below quickly took the shopkeeper away. It wasn't until the shopkeeper's shouts became more and more distant that Feng Yu Heng nodded towards the head official: "Many thanks to this big brother official for coming out and upholding justice. If this person continued to run amok, I'm afraid that my Feng family's Hundred Herb Hall would become the target of public criticism."
"What is the second young miss saying?" The official was very polite, "It is my honor to be able to work for the second young miss. If the second young miss does not have any other orders, then this little one will leave first."
Feng Yu Heng nodded and gave Qing Yu a look. Qing Yu walked forward and quietly stuffed a large piece of silver into that person's hand.
The official happily promised that he would definitely arrest the shopkeeper and bring him to the government office. Only then did he quickly leave.
The commoners who were still in Hundred Herb Hall to watch the excitement all put down the medicinal herbs in their hands and stared blankly at Feng Yu Heng.
With the scandal of Hundred Herb Hall's shopkeeper being exposed for selling fake medicine, who would still dare to buy medicine here! But they had personally witnessed the scene of the true owner of this medicine shop taking care of the hateful shopkeeper. That was truly satisfying.
For a moment, the people who were fortunate enough to see this scene all silently praised Feng Yu Heng in their hearts.
This also included the two people who were currently sitting on the second floor of the teahouse across from Hundred Herb Hall drinking tea.
"Master, that girl is even more arrogant than when she was in the Northwest." The person who spoke was Bai Ze. His impression of Feng Yu Heng remained in the mountains of the Northwest. The second time he saw her was outside the city gates on the day the army returned to the capital. But no matter which time it was, Feng Yu Heng was covered in dust. She was like a sensitive and thorny little leopard. Talking to her would cause one to choke.
Today, this girl had been promoted a level. She was dressed better and tidied up a bit, but her temper was still as sharp.
However … …
"Un, master, she really is a good match for you."
Sitting next to him was a man wearing a purple robe with a neat belt tied around his waist. His hair was tied up with a jade crown, and his back was straight. His entire body emitted a dignified and domineering aura that also carried a bit of an evil charm.
The man wore a golden mask that covered everything from his nose to his forehead. Only a small hole was opened between his eyebrows, through which a faint purple color could be seen.
This was none other than the current Emperor's most beloved Ninth Prince, the newly titled His Highness Prince Yu — — Xuan Tianming.
At this moment, Xuan Tianming's brows were slightly lowered as he stared at Hundred Herb Hall across from him. That little girl's every action and word were all seen and heard by him. Subconsciously, the corners of his lips curled up a bit … … It was becoming more and more interesting.
"It seems that I's choice of princess is not bad."
Bai Ze nodded, "Master, it's not that this subordinate is praising our future princess! It must be said that this Feng family's second young miss is truly a strange woman. The Feng family threw her into a remote mountain village, but not only did she not starve to death, she lived an even more wonderful life. Not to mention that after she returned to the manor, the Feng family's head wife was unable to leave the room. Just the way she treated your leg and that spray thing, tsk tsk, it's really miraculous. "
One night, after Feng Yu Heng left, Bai Ze protected Xuan Tianming as they left the mountain. As expected, they encountered an ambush. When Bai Ze was injured, Xuan Tianming used Feng Yu Heng's spray to relieve his pain. From then on, Bai Ze kept thinking about that bottle of miraculous medicine.
"See, now that our princess has expanded her territory, she has begun to take care of the business outside."
