Gu Shuixiu was not happy because of the change in Aunt Li's attitude, the couple quickly disappeared into the dark night, Dong Chenghu meant to leave Linhai County immediately while the night was dark, but Gu Shuixiu disagreed.

"It's too conspicuous for us to walk at this time, not to mention what passersby think, even the port guards will be suspicious. Also, I want to stay and see what happens to the shopkeeper. If the drugstore shopkeeper is really We don't have to worry about being caught."

Under Gu Shuixiu's good talk, Dong Chenghu agreed to spend the night in Linhai County.

The two found a relatively civilian inn and asked for a medium private room, and then let the child bring some hot water to eat into the house.

Gu Shuixiu hasn't had a good bath for several days. Now that she has the opportunity in Linhai County, she naturally cannot let it go.

The two bathed comfortably and had a meal. Gu Shuixiu carefully took out the purse given by the pharmacy shopkeeper and poured out all the silver in it to count.

Dong Chenghu counted and took a deep breath, good guy, there are fifty taels of silver in his purse.

It seems that the shopkeeper of the pharmacy really made a lot of money. The more Gu Shuixiu thinks there is something wrong with the shopkeeper, maybe he is not only smuggling salt, maybe there are other shameful people act.

Dong Chenghu held the silver in his heart, looked at Gu Shuixiu and said, "Shuixiu, can we really hold so much silver?"

Gu Shuixiu sighed inwardly, Dong Chenghu is indeed too honest, but that is the way the ancients thought, Gu Shuixiu would not say anything about Dong Chenghu, and after a moment said, "Well, let's go to the slums tomorrow to see Look, buy some steamed buns or something to do some good deeds, so you can feel better?"

Dong Chenghu nodded heavily, the heaviness on his face disappeared.

The husband and wife share their thoughts and sleep together, but Gu Shuixiu has been thinking about how to plan the fifty taels of silver, and Dong Chenghu is worried that the pharmacy shopkeeper will not be slapped down to settle accounts with their husband and wife.

The two of them didn't sleep well that night. The next morning, the two of them left the inn with panda eyes. Turning around to the vicinity of the pharmacy, pretending to be shopping all the way, listening to people's discussions with pricked ears.

Sure enough, I heard many people talking about the pharmacy.

Those who were close to each other heard it.

"How do you know? You don't live in the county, and the pharmacy has to be sealed, but there is nothing there!" After hearing the words of passerby A, he scolded him by the way: "Don't be alarmist here. Although everyone doesn't like the pharmacy shopkeeper, it's not good to curse people like this!"

Passerby A's face turned red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed, and immediately retorted loudly: "I didn't lie, I heard from other shopkeepers near the pharmacy, yesterday In the middle of the night, a group of officers and soldiers kicked open the door of the pharmacy with torches. The movement was so loud that several households nearby heard it, and some people quietly climbed the roof to watch the excitement.

I heard that the officers and soldiers took out many large sacks and several large boxes from the pharmacy, and some people said that the boxes were full of gold and silver jewelry, which almost blinded them. I'm not telling a lie. If you don't believe me, you will watch it later. I don't believe that this pharmacy is still open today! "

When everyone saw what he said with nose and eyes, they all believed it, including the one who just refuted him, and also stopped his voice.

A word.

Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu sat at a tea stall for a long time, and left after making sure that the pharmacy would not be open. After walking up and down the main street several times, I finally saw a man in a clerk's clothes eating at a wonton stand.

Gu Shuixiu pretended to be a patient, and Dong Chenghu supported her, and the two walked to the wonton stand.

Dong Chenghu was so nervous that his forehead sweated. The owner of the wonton stall thought he was tired and warmly greeted the two of them to sit down.

"Guest, what would you like to eat?"

Dong Chenghu was speechless and looked at Gu Shuixiu from the corner of his eye.

Gu Shuixiu coughed twice and said weakly, "Bring us two bowls of wontons, I don't know how long it will take to get from here to that big pharmacy?"

Gu Shuixiu seemed to be muttering to herself, and then coughed several times.

Everyone heard her voice.

Poor, lowered his voice and said: "If you two want to see a doctor and get medicine, you should go to another place to see. That big pharmacy doesn't know what the shopkeeper has done, and I heard that he was arrested!"

Though the two yamen didn't make a sound, they both pricked up their ears and listened to the boss and Gu Shuixiu and his wife.

Gu Shuixiu pretended to be shocked and said tremblingly, "This...how is this possible? We went to get medicine a few days ago, so why..."

The boss looked at the yacha on the side, obviously a little shy, and quickly said: "The two of you don't make inquiries, we are also hearsay, I'll go get you wontons."

The boss hurried for a walk.

At this time, a clerk looked at Gu Shuixiu and his wife, looked at them and said, "The accents of the two of them don't sound like we are from Linhai County!"

Dong Chenghu was so nervous that he was sweating coldly, Gu Shuixiu pretended to be weak and leaned on him, and then he gasped and said, "Second officials, our husband and wife came from a mountain village in Yongjia County. , I don't know what's going on with this disease, and I've seen big and small doctors to no avail.

Later, a relative said that there is a very powerful doctor in Linhai County, surnamed Xu, but we searched for a long time and could not find it. When I was sick, I went to the pharmacy to get some medicine. It happened yesterday. After eating, we didn't have any extra troubles, and we planned to go back to our hometown today to get some medicine. "

"The doctor Xu you're talking about is the old Mr. Xu who has been dead for several months?" The yacha had no doubts after listening to Gu Shuixiu's words, and his face softened a lot.

Gu Shuixiu was even more shocked at this time, she never thought that the people who made it up at will actually exist.

The yamen thought that Gu Shuixiu was shocked by Mr. Xu's death, and felt a little sympathetic. At this moment, he completely believed what Gu Shuixiu said, and told Mr. Xu's affairs again. He said, "The shopkeeper of the pharmacy has broken the law, and it is estimated that he will be sentenced to death. Don't go there to look for bad luck. There is a small pharmacy not far ahead, and the shopkeeper there is more honest, where should you go? Look."
