Chapter 379 - 379: You're going to kill me!
Vermilion Bird Avenue.
Since receiving the batch of new medicines sent by Nangong Shengtian and others, Nangong Shou felt as though he had taken a reassuring pill.
He spent his days lounging lazily in a rocking chair at the entrance, swaying his body, with a fan in one hand and a teacup in the other.
Tasting the fresh tea in his cup.
With squinted eyes, Nangong Shou looked at the Treasure Pavilion Pharmacy across the street, his face gleeful at their misfortune: "I wonder how the situation is being handled over there. If the matter is confirmed, the Treasure Pavilion will never see a day of return!"
Nangong Shou hummed a little tune to himself.
Suddenly...
The ground shook, and a series of rapid footsteps was heard.
Nangong Shou was taken aback and frowned, only to see figures converging from both sides of Vermilion Bird Avenue.
There were tens of thousands of them.
"Hmm? Could they be coming to smash up the Treasure Pavilion?"
Nangong Shou was startled, eager and anticipatory.
These days...
They had been tormented by the Treasure Pavilion, watching people come and go there, while here, their doorstep was deserted. Today, upon suddenly hearing that trouble had befallen the Treasure Pavilion, Nangong Shou had purposely moved a stool to the entrance to wait.
Just to watch the drama unfold!
However.
These people were not heading to the Treasure Pavilion Pharmacy but were coming straight towards him.
Nangong Shou's heart skipped a beat: "What's going on?"
A servant beside him said instinctively, "Manager, could it be that something really happened at the Treasure Pavilion, so they're all coming here to buy medicine?"
"Hmm?"
Nangong Shou was startled and smiled approvingly, "That's right, it must be as you say. Have someone tidy up inside quickly; looking at this situation, we're very likely to break our previous sales record today!"
The servant hurried away.
Watching the crowd that had already reached him, Nangong Shou greeted them with a smile: "My friends, are you here to buy medicine? Please come inside. Our Nangong Family Pharmacy has been in business for many years, with honesty for the young and the old, unlike those low-priced, inferior medicines!"
However...
The crowd was unmoved, their faces strangely looking at Nangong Shou and the pharmacy behind him.
Nangong Shou was puzzled: "What's happening?"
From within the crowd.
People whispered to each other: "Do you think that rumor is true?"
"They say that it was the deceased young man's family who personally claimed he died after taking medicine from the Nangong Family Pharmacy..."
"Xiao and Yang Ling are on their way here to seek justice for the young man who passed away."
Thud!
Nangong Shou's smile abruptly stiffened, and his eyes showed shock: "What do you mean? Someone died from taking our Nangong Family's medicine? This, wasn't it the Treasure Pavilion's medicine that killed someone? How did it become ours..."
At this moment.
A pathway suddenly cleared in the crowd, and a flatbed cart was slowly pushed out by Ning Luo.
Xiao Yi and others followed closely behind.
Nangong Shou's gaze fell on the body of the young man on the cart, his face drastically changing, his breathing becoming rapid: "A, a serious incident has happened..."
"Are you the manager of this pharmacy?" Yang Ling's gaze was cold as he stared at Nangong Shou.
Nangong Shou had a bitter taste in his mouth but had no choice but to nod: "Indeed, I am, Your Highness Yang Ling. May I know your commands?"
Yang Ling spoke indifferently, "Someone has accused that taking medicine bought from your Nangong Family Pharmacy has led to death. We need to conduct a
Yang Ling nodded and immediately led people towards the interior of the pharmacy.
Nangong Shengtian lowered his voice and turned to Nangong Shou beside him, "The batch of new pills that was distributed to you earlier are all well hidden, right?"
"Uh... Ah?"
Nangong Shou was dumbfounded, "Ancestor, I saw so many people coming just now, I assumed they were all here to buy medicine, so, so I had it all brought out."
"What?"
Nangong Shengtian's face turned rigid and he almost spewed a mouthful of old blood, looking at Nangong Shou with grief and indignation, "I... I... I'm going to be killed by you!"
