The Ace Bodyguard - C109
After a careful examination, Wang Xiao found that there were several expensive medicinal herbs, and they were all fake. Actually, some medicinal ingredients were not fake, and they were imported from Jin Country. The profit-seeking merchants use chemicals to grow quickly. It was as though white seedlings were growing at an incredible speed. Even if these expensive medicinal herbs weren’t poisonous, they would still be ineffective.
Swish!
Wang Xiao gasped, there were actually so many fakes. He finally understood why Lee Kai and Liu Daquan were poisoned. Although the fake lingzhi root would not have poisoned anyone, but there were other fake Chinese medicines mixed together to form the poison.
“Brother Xiao, what’s wrong?” Di Loong asked worriedly.
“Di Loong, among these medicinal ingredients, there are many that are fake and expensive, especially the Lingzhi and the Dragon Spirit Root.” Wang Xiao said in a serious tone.
“What?! It’s fake!”
Di Loong was so stunned that he couldn’t speak, and he was ashamed too. This was because he was in charge of buying all of these medicinal ingredients and had spent several million. He had practically spent all of his savings for Divine Monarch Sect. But it was actually fake medicine. How was he going to explain it to Wang Xiao and his brothers?
“Yes, expensive medicinal materials. Most of them are fake.” Wang Xiao nodded seriously.
“This can be faked?”
Di Loong really couldn’t understand why these things could be fake. Whether the money was real or the western medicine fake, Di Loong believed that these were artificially made money, after all. But how could Chinese medicine be fake? After all, it was a plant grown in the earth.
“You don’t know, a new technology has appeared in the Jin Country. They can cultivate some expensive Chinese medicine, or very similar Chinese medicine, in a short period of time with the help of bacteria and chemicals. ” Wang Xiao said.
Di Loong was so ashamed that he could not show his face, hence he clenched his fists. Hateful, hateful, hateful, how dare you lie to me. Brother Xiao, I am truly sorry, it is my incompetence. Not only did it cause economic losses to the sect, I nearly caused the death of all of our brothers. ”
Di Loong lowered his head in depression, and requested for Wang Xiao’s punishment.
“I cannot blame you for this matter. After all, you do not know what’s good for you. It was my carelessness that caused it.” Wang Xiao did not blame Di Loong, because if something happened, he should have thought of a way to deal with it, and not pushed away the responsibility.
A person who only knew how to shirk responsibilities was unable to become a leader. Even if they were lucky enough to become a leader, they were still unable to lead their subordinates. Furthermore, Wang Xiao felt that he himself also had responsibilities. After he left this matter to Di Loong, he didn’t care about it anymore.
At that time, Wang Xiao did not think of this kind of situation. He didn’t know what the other authorities were up to, but he couldn’t find out.
“Brother Xiao, I will go kill that Bastard right now.” Di Loong stood up, he even had the heart to kill. Although Wang Xiao did not blame him, he could not forgive himself for his mistake this time.
“Don’t be impulsive, killing people won’t solve the problem. What we need is to recover our losses, not to kill and kill.” Wang Xiao stood up to stop Di Loong, he did not want him to be rash.
With Di Loong’s current mood, if he was not stopped, Wang Xiao was sure that he would definitely go and kill that person. As for the life or death of the person who sold the fake medicine, Wang Xiao didn’t care at all.
“Brother Xiao, I really can’t tolerate this.” Di Loong clenched his fists tightly, his eyes revealing a murderous look. He had never been so deceived before, and this time he was greatly humiliated.
“Di Loong, which pharmacy are you taking me to? Pretend you don’t know that I’m being cheated and even introduce me to him to buy medicinal ingredients from? If you take the risk and ask them, if they hide the fake medicine and refuse to admit it even if you beat them to death, wouldn’t that alert the enemy? ” Wang Xiao suggested.
Di Loong felt that Wang Xiao’s words were reasonable. He had only acted on impulse previously, so he did not consider everything. Brother Xiao, what you said is reasonable, I will follow your arrangements on this matter, there is no time to delay, go right now. ”
“Alright.” Wang Xiao nodded, he really wanted to see, just which turtle Bastard would dare to move the earth despite being too young, and actually tricked him into coming here. No matter how much that grandson ate, Wang Xiao would make him spit it out twice over.
“Brother Xiao, it’s just that Lee Kai and Liu Daquan have done the same, they have not taken the medicine yet.” Di Loong was worried about their safety. After all, they had been poisoned. If the two of them really did die, he would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
“Don’t worry, the two of them are not in danger. The poison in their bodies has already been purged away.” Even if I don’t take the medicine, I will definitely recover within two days. ”
After knowing that Lee Kai and Liu Daquan wouldn’t be in danger even if they didn’t use the medicine, Di Loong finally relaxed. If anything happened to the two of them, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
The two quickly left the pharmacy, and when they arrived at the front yard, they saw a few members practicing martial arts.
Hello, Sect Leader!
Good day, Deputy Sect Leader! Everyone apologized and saluted.
“Everyone, take care of Lee Kai and Liu Daquan. We have something to do outside.” Wang Xiao ordered.
“Yes, Sovereign.” Everyone nodded.
Looking at the backs of Wang Xiao and his departing figure, everyone was very curious. From the expressions of Wang Xiao and Luo Hua City Mistress, they could tell that the two were in a bad mood, as though they were going to destroy their entire family. Could it be that it was because of the poisoning by Lee Kai and Liu Daquan?
Because of his curiosity, an expert said: “It’s really strange, the Sect Leader and Deputy Sect Leader seem to be angry.”
“We don’t need to worry about that. We only need to train. After all, we can’t help with the matter between the Clan Master and Deputy Sect Leader. ” Another man said.
Everyone nodded their heads, feeling that the man’s words made a lot of sense. With their current strength, they were truly unable to help Wang Xiao and Yue Yang. The only thing they could do was cultivate.
Under Di Loong’s lead, Wang Xiao drove to the medicine store. F * ck you, even if the enemies have three heads and six arms, you still have to give me an explanation and give the sect an explanation. There was a street in the Huahai City, this street was rather famous, and Wang Xiao had come here before.
This street is a Chinese medicine market, specializing in the sale of Chinese medicine. However, due to the rise of western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine has gradually declined in recent years, so the business of traditional Chinese medicine is not very good. However, even if the business of herbal medicine was not that good, why were there still so many people selling it?
It was actually very simple, because the Chinese medicine was nothing more than some medicinal herbs. It did not have strict supervision. If he wanted to sell Western medicine, he would need a business license as well as a lot of formalities. Even if he broke his leg, it would be difficult for him to get a business license to sell Western medicine. But Chinese medicine is different, check is not strict, also do not need to pay much tax.
Due to the lack of strict regulation of Chinese medicine, more or less some money can be made, so many people do this kind of business. However, people were lacking in popularity, and only profit was sought after. Moreover, rare Chinese medicine was expensive, thus, counterfeit goods appeared. If a ten-year-old lingzhi mushroom was genuine, the profit could be big or small, depending on the purchase price and the selling price. But as long as he faked it, it would absolutely be extremely profitable. However, the greater the profit, the greater the risk. Without a backer, no one would dare to be so crazy.
Wang Xiao was certain that the person who sold the fake medicine to Di Loong must have someone backing him. He must have an extremely complicated and huge network of connections, which was why he was so confident and fearless. It was because Wang Xiao had guessed that the other party had a backer and power behind them, he did not let Di Loong be impulsive enough to go and seek revenge.
On the Chinese medicine market, next to the street, there was a large medicine store with the words’ Divine Herbs Hall of China ‘written on it. As this medicine store was the largest and had more luxurious decorations, its business was better than any other shop in the market.
Consumers these days all had the same mindset. The more respectable the business, the better the goods sold and the more secure their security. For example, when you enter a large shopping mall, your first thought is, there won’t be any substandard products, there won’t be anything out of date. If you enter a small shop, the consumer’s first impression is that there must be a lot of inferior products, or all of them are futures.
A black car slowly drove over and stopped in front of the Chinese Divine Grass Hall’s shop. Two people walked out from the car, and the two people were Wang Xiao and Di Loong. After getting off the car, the two directly entered the medicine store.
In the medicine store, there were all sorts of herbs. The owner of this medicine store was a man in his forties. He ate like a pig and had a beer belly. No matter how one looked at him, this fellow did not look like the boss of the medicine store. Instead, he looked like a butcher or pig slaughterer.
Could it be that this fellow changed his profession midway? He used to be a butcher who specialized in slaughtering pigs. Because the business of a Pig Slaughtering Craftsman was not easy to handle, this fellow changed his business to buying medicine and was specializing in deceiving consumers.
When the boss saw Di Loong coming in, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he immediately smiled and said: “Brother, what kind of medicine are you looking to buy today?”
“Boss, I’m not selling medicine today, but I’m here to introduce the customers to you. My brother here needs some medicinal herbs, so you need a discount.” Di Loong pretended not to know that he was tricked, so he smiled and said to the owner.
“Haha, definitely, definitely a discount.” The boss was overjoyed. His face was full of smiles. It was just that his smile looked very fake, very fake. All merchants were treacherous and hypocritical.
After laughing happily a few times, the boss politely said to Wang Xiao: “This brother, may I ask what kind of medicinal ingredients you want? It’s not that I’m bragging, but in the entire Huahai City, our Divine Herbs Hall of China is the largest and has the most complete variety of Chinese medicine. ”
The owner proudly gave a thumbs-up, as if boasting that his shop was awesome.
“Boss, give me some Ginseng, Winter Cordyceps and Summer Grass, Golden Thread Lotus, Lingzhi …”
Wang Xiao ordered dozens of medicinal herbs in one go, and they were all very expensive. The cheapest one among them was the Golden Thread Lotus. If this type of herb was dried in the sun, it would cost around several thousand yuan per jin.
The reason why he didn’t ask for the Lingzhi by name was because he was afraid that the other party would suspect something.
Hearing that Wang Xiao actually wanted so many medicinal ingredients, and that all of them were extremely expensive Chinese medicine, the boss was elated. If this type of person had more stupid and rich people, it would be difficult for him to not make a fortune. He would not be poor even if he wanted to.
“Bro, you need so many medicinal materials.” The owner smiled amiably.
“Yes, don’t you have a pharmacy? If you don’t have one, then forget it, I’ll go somewhere else.” After he finished speaking, Wang Xiao turned around and said to Di Loong, “Let’s go, there’s not that much here.”
“Alright.” Di Loong coordinated with Wang Xiao and he knew that this was called capturing him easily.
Wang Xiao did not want to give the other party any time to think about it. Sure enough, just as Wang Xiao had expected, the boss was anxious.
“Bro, what are you talking about? How come I don’t have any?” To tell you the truth, I have a lot of power here. As long as you have money, you can buy as much as you want. The owner ran over to Wang Xiao and said while smiling.
In his eyes, Wang Xiao was a fat sheep. If the fat sheep that was close to his mouth ran away, he would definitely be so angry that he would jump off a building.
