Chapter 226 Surprise
Father Wu has been watching the three of them personally, fearing that there are still stupid people in the village who will be tricked into letting them go.
No merchants had ever come to the village to collect medicinal materials before. Why did these people come here just after the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion opened?
Father Wu felt that these three people must be here for Shang Wan, and they might want to harm Shang Wan.
It's hard for their village to find a promising person who can lead everyone to make money, why shouldn't he be protected like a treasure? We can't let a few outsiders bully us.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Father Wu guessed that Shang Wan and the others would be back soon, so he ordered his son to tie up the three of them and take them out, and give an explanation before Shang Wan heard about it.
Everyone else came to join in the fun, of course, mainly because they wanted to show that they were on Shang Wan's side and had absolutely no intention of selling the medicinal materials to anyone else.
After hearing the reason, Shang Wan had already guessed whose handiwork it was.
Seeing everyone in the village looking at her, Shang Wan raised the corners of her lips and spoke in a tone that was neither light nor serious, but resounding.
"Everyone is free to sell the medicinal materials to whomever they want. I can't control it and I won't control it. But there is one thing. If anyone wants to steal the medicinal materials they receive from me and make them look better, they should stop thinking about it as soon as possible. . Otherwise, don’t blame me for not remembering our past feelings and turning against each other.”
Shang Wan had long said that after learning the craft, she would welcome the herbs that everyone digs up in the mountains, prepare them and sell them to her, and she would not care if they were sold to others.
But if her medicinal materials are given to others, she is not a flower-handling Buddha, and she doesn't mind letting the villagers learn her method.
As soon as these words came out, everyone who was still a little commotion fell silent instantly. Whether they were thinking about it or not, they all took Shang Wan's words into their hearts.
Wu Mingli looked around and was the first to speak out: "Shop Manager Shang, all of us are following you to make money. Naturally, we are all for you. We cannot do such heartless things."
"yes."
"That's right."
"We are from the same village, so everyone can carry it!"
Many people echoed the sentiment.
Whether it's true or false, at least it sounds comforting at the moment.
Lu Chengjing walked to Shang Wan's side and took over the conversation at the right time: "Uncle Wu, we will take these three people back."
Father Wu hurriedly pointed at Wu Mingli and the two men standing next to him, "You three go and see the scholar off."
"Okay!" Wu Mingli grabbed the person and left. The other two people also hurriedly dragged the person to follow, not giving Shang Wan and Shang Wan a chance to refuse.
The remaining people held torches and looked at Shang Wan with helpless eyes, looking inexplicably pitiful.
"It's getting late, let's all leave and get some rest early." Shang Wan smiled again, his tone softened, and he sounded very kind, "The drug store has made several big businesses. In the following days, You guys have a lot to do.”
"real?"
"Very good!!"
A group of people were surprised and happy after hearing this. They were not afraid of being busy, but they were afraid of having no work to do.
Everyone stopped standing and couldn't wait to go home and tell their families the good news.
Father Wu stayed for a while, and when everyone was almost gone, he said to Shang Wan: "There are some people in our village who tend to get confused easily when others say too many words. I have scolded them one by one. In fact, they have no bad intentions. I just don’t understand what’s going on inside, so don’t take it personally and don’t argue with them. I’ll apologize to you on their behalf.”
"Uncle Wu doesn't have to be like this." Shang Wan said, "I'm the only one who sees the results."
As a result, as soon as she returned, the villagers tied the three people in front of her.
After hearing this, Father Wu's heart dropped for the people in the village.
He realized that he had underestimated Shang Wan before, and the girl was more capable than he thought.
"Stone, send Uncle Wu back."
"Okay!" Shitou lit a lantern and came over, "Uncle Wu, come this way, I'll see you off."

After the family had dinner, Xiaohuan was busy preparing Chu Xu's favorite snacks.
The child was about to leave, and Xiaohuan was reluctant to leave. He thought about making more delicious food for the child to eat on the road. Chu Xu circled around the small ring like a little tail, screaming sweetly.
The trio who collected medicinal materials were imprisoned in the woodshed, and Lu Chengjing and Shang Wan were interrogated inside.
Yuanyuan stood on Xiao Hui's back, holding the window with her two little hands and looking in. Her big eyes were wide open, extremely curious.
Shang Wan simply took the baby in and put it on his lap, and they watched Lu Chengjing judge people together.
In terms of interrogation, Lu Chengjing and Shang Wan have completely different styles. Shang Wan is a torturer, while Lu Chengjing is almost a writer.
He is good at catching the loopholes in the words of the three people, and inserting them into them during his words, and then takes the opportunity to make a false statement.
Shang Wan thought it would be easier to give them a good beating. The bones of these three were not very hard at first glance.
"We are not merchants, Li Ping asked us to come."
Lu Chengjing: "Who is Li Ping?"
"It's the boy from Qi Mansion. He has something to do with us, so we have to listen to him."
"He also gave us the banknote. He asked us to come to Yushu Village and take back all the medicinal materials. If the people in the village refuse to sell them, we will find a way to destroy them."
Unfortunately, before they could do anything, the villagers locked them in the cellar.
"There's nothing we can do. Let us go. We promise not to say a word."
The three of them repeatedly begged for mercy, which was a bit funny with the bruises on their faces and panda eyes.
Shang Wan carried Yuanyuan and walked out. Lu Chengjing blocked the mouths of the three of them again, and checked the ropes on the three of them again to make sure that they were not loose before following them out.
"How to deal with these three people?"
"Go back to where you came from." Shang Wan smiled and waved to Lu Chengjing, "Let's give Shopkeeper Qi a surprise."
Lu Chengjing leaned over, and Yuanyuan also pricked up her little ears to listen. If you don't understand, put it aside. You must have a sense of participation.

The next day, just after dawn, the clerk at Jimin Drug Store opened the door. Before he could finish his yawn, he looked up and saw three figures wandering in front of the door, and he screamed out in fright.
"Dead people!!!"
This loud voice called out all the neighbors.
"Where is the dead person?"
"Oh, what an unlucky morning!"
"It's Jimin Pharmacy. There are three people hanging in front of the door."
"Not dead, still moving."
The unlucky trio of drug collectors were hung upside down in front of the Jimin Drug Store wearing only a pair of underpants, their mouths were tightly gagged, and they stared into three pairs of dead eyes. They were so humiliated that they felt hopeless.
"There are writings on this body. Let me read it for everyone."
"Qi Yongbao is a sinister villain."
"The tax evasion and tax evasion of Jimin Drug Store must be completed."
"The medicinal powders in Jimin Pharmacy are all ground from moldy medicinal materials."
The person reading the words turned the hanging man around and found two lines of words behind it, "We are Qi Yongbao's lackeys. Anyone who sees it please help report it to the official."
"I'll go, I'll go, I just like to help others." He shouted, not taking it too seriously, and ran to the county government office seriously.
The waiter realized it was too late to chase after him. He didn't even bother to put down the three hanging people and hurriedly ran to notify his shopkeeper.
