Shopkeeper Zhao smiled, “That’s right.”
“May I inquire the identity of the owner behind this spirit-gathering dicine store?” the man continued questioning.
Hearing this question, shopkeeper Zhao didn’t have the slightest annoyance as he continued replying, “You’ll have to forgive for being unable to reveal this information.
That person was still sowhat unsatisfied having heard his response, but just as he wanted to inquire further, a voice sounded from the rear.
“Make way, everyone get out the way!”
Everyone was startled and stepped aside. Soon after, a crowd of officers walked over under everyone’s line of sight. The leader was a middle-aged man, with arrogance across his face. The scar on his face made him seem malevolent as his eyes contained a swift and fierce glint.
“Take away everyone belonging to the dicine store!”
What?
Hearing his orders, everyone was stunned. Why are these officers suddenly arresting them?
“General Li, aren’t you being excessive?” Qi Su walked out from behind shopkeeper Zhao with a cold expression. “What cris have our staff committed for you to arrest all of us?”
The instant General Li spotted Qi Su he was startled for a mont. “You’re the owner of this spirit-gathering dicine store?”
“No, I’m only working for soone.” Qi Su frowned. “General Li, could you tell what are your objectives for coming here?”
“Hmph!” General Li snorted. Even though Qi Su ca out, he did not spare him any face in the slightest. “This spirit-gathering dicinal liquid’s formulation cos from the Imperial Palace and was stolen a while back. Now that your spirit-gathering dicine store is selling the dicinal liquid, it proves that you entered the palace and committed theft! n, arrest them all and close down this dicine store.”
Qi Su knit his brows. He finally understood General Li’s purpose in coming. Originally, he assud that it would take so ti before they would attempt to seize the formulation but unexpectedly, they ca during their first day of business. It seed like soone must’ve heard the news of spirit-gathering dicinal liquid and had designs on it.
“According to General Li, this dicinal liquid formulation cos from the palace and even the puppet’s manufacture thod is also from the palace?” Qi Su quirked his brow and a cold glint streaked across his eyes.
“Of course!” General Li raised his head with arrogance. He was acting upon concubine Qin’s orders and she would be the future Empress Dowager. When she took a fancy to sothing, who would dare to resist?
“What? This spirit-gathering dicinal liquid was stolen from the palace, along with the puppet manufacturing thod?”
“These people are really courageous to actually dare to steal from the Imperial Palace. Right now, the officers have even co to find the ones responsible.” The crowd had instantly started a discussion after hearing their conversation, while they cast a despising look at the dicine hall.
Qi Su’s expression sank. “Since General Li feels that our dicine store stole the formulation, then soone in the palace must know the thod of producing this dicinal liquid. Why don’t we invite that person to demonstrate how to concoct the dicinal liquid. If they’re able to successfully do so, I’ll imdiately enter the palace and acknowledge my cris!”
General Li was startled. Concubine Qin sent him not only to seal the dicine store but to also seize the formulation. Yet, Qi Su wanted them to demonstrate producing the dicinal liquid on-site?
Where was he to find that person?
Seeing General Li’s unsightly expression, Qi Su sneered. “So it turns out, this is how the Imperial Family seizes other’s belongings? And they even used such a dignified reason to fra our dicine store? General Li, you were originally an upright person, but after a year you’ve beco so shaless!”
