Chapter 70 Provocation
City East Street.
This street is the most prosperous commercial concentration in Lijiang City. There are 62 shops on both sides of the street, each of which is booming and making money every day. Therefore, the shops located on this street can be said to be worth every inch of land, and the store land deeds alone are worth tens of thousands of gold.
For a long time, the shops on Chengdong Street have basically been controlled by the three major families of Lijiang. There are 62 stores, at least more than 50 of which are industries of the three major forces, among which the Huo family alone occupies twenty-one stores.
Since the head of the Huo family and former Lijiang City lord Huo Baishan left home, the Huo family seemed to have lost the pillar of the sky, and the family's reputation has greatly decreased. In addition, the other two forces jointly suppressed it, in less than two years, the family's business was in decline and could not be maintained, so they had to sell each store. Now, in the east of the city, the Huo family's industry is only one clinic and two pharmacies.
"The ancestors of Huo family started their business by opening a clinic and operating a pharmacy. Therefore, no matter how difficult the family is, these three stores cannot close down." This sentence was said by Huo Xuan's second wife and Xu Shiyan.
Since Huobaishan left home, Xu Shiyan has temporarily replaced the head of the Huo family. Although she was determined to manage the family well, she had no choice but to be a weak woman, how could she be able to resist the persuasion of tigers and wolves around her? She had the will but lacked strength!
"Murder people to pay for their lives, and pay for their debts. The quack doctors in your clinic have prepared a pill that is poisonous, which makes my brother die and not alive. How should I calculate this account?"
In front of the Huo Clinic, more than a dozen men blocked the gate, all of whom were fierce and quarrels. At the edge of the gate, a man was lying on the ground. His face was purple and his lips were black, as if he was poisoned and dying.
Huo Qiantao, the only elder of the Huo family, and seven disciples were trying their best to argue with these people. Xu Shiyan, the hostess of the Huo family, was in the clinic, with a heavy face and asked the pharmacist sitting in the hall what was going on? Next to Xu Shiyan, a young man was nine feet tall. He was tall and had a strong waist, strong and powerful. At this moment, his dark face was full of anger, and his eyes were staring at the people who were making trouble outside.
"Miss mother, the man lying on the ground came to the clinic for treatment early in the morning. Lao Chou took his pulse and found that he was not only strong in liver fire and was in good health, so he gave him a dose of pills to remove fire and cool down. The pills of the fire removal pills are peaceful, and even if I was so old, it would be fine if I took them at such a young age. This person was fine. As soon as he took them, he went out to go to the toilet, but he fell in front of the clinic gate and couldn't get up. He said that he was poisoned. Then a large group of people came and shouted endlessly..." Dr. Li, who was sitting in the hall, told Xu Shiyan about his diagnosis and treatment with a bitter face.
"These guys are all from the Evil Tiger Gang. The one who leads the noise outside is Qin Hu, the leader of the Evil Tiger Gang, and the deputy leader Bai Xiaoer lying on the ground pretends to be dead. The mobs of them have always been very close to the Baji Sect. There is no need to think about it, they must be here to find fault!" The black boy standing next to Xu Shiyan's side was full of anger and said with hatred: "When I go out to break their legs, I see that they dare to come and make trouble!" After that, he turned around and walked out.
"At Tie!" Xu Shiyan said to stop her.
"Madam, these guys bully the weak and are afraid of the strong. If they are tolerant, they will become more aggressive!" A Tie turned around and said in a deep voice.
"I also know that they came to find fault on purpose, but Bai Xiaoer is now lying outside with a poisonous look on his face. Whether it is true or false, he has already relied on our clinic. If this matter is handled improperly and uses force, it will not only fail to solve it, but will damage the reputation of the clinic and cause a handle of conversation." Xu Shiyan said with a worried face.
"Then... according to Mrs. I mean, what should we do?" A Tie asked.
Xu Shiyan sighed softly and said, "Master Li, let's go and see what poison this Xiaoer Bai is hit!"
"Okay!" Pharmacist Li nodded.
At this moment, more and more people were watching outside the clinic. More than a dozen people from the Evil Tiger Gang were shouting and yelling and insulting at this moment.
"Dear fellow villagers, you all saw that the Huo Family Medical Center was crazy and used poison to harm people. If such a black shop continues to be opened, I don't know how many innocent people will be harmed." Qin Hu looked righteous at this moment, waved his hand, greeted the minions beside him, and shouted: "Brothers, smash the clinic to eliminate the harm for the people!"
"Eliminate the harm for the people! Smash it!"
In addition to the people from the Evil Tiger Gang, more than a dozen people jumped out of the crowd to respond. They rolled up their sleeves and rushed into the clinic.
"Who dares you?"
Pang Feng and other seven Huo disciples blocked the gate and shouted sternly.
"If you have something to say, don't be impulsive!" Huo Qiantao persuaded loudly. In just a few years, the old man's face has added many ravines and his temples are all gray.
The Evil Tiger Gang is just a poor character in Lijiang City. The leader of the gang, Qin Hu, is a congenital second-level warrior. If it were three years ago, they would not dare to fight against the Huo family with ten courage. Now that the Huo family is in decline, they are instructed to cause trouble. However, when they see Pang Feng and other seven disciples, these guys are still a little afraid.
Qin Hu waved his hand, and all the claws beside him stopped and waited for instructions. At this time, Qin Hu saw Xu Shiyan and the other two walking out of the clinic. The guy's eyes lit up and he shouted at Xu Shiyan: "Mrs. Huo, you have been huddled in it for so long, so it's time to come out to give an explanation!"
"Shut your stinky mouth!"
A angrily shout was like a drought thunder on the flat ground, which made the eardrums of the people around him swell and buzzed.
A Tie stepped through the gate of the clinic and came straight to Qin Hu. Qin Hu was also a burly man, but when he stood in front of A Hu, he was as weak as a child.
"You, what do you want to do..."
Qin Hu looked up at the black boy in front of him, who was one head taller than him, and his steps were backing back, and his face couldn't help but feel fear. He knew that although the Huo family was in decline, the one in front of him was very difficult to mess with. A Tie, a congenital fifth-level warrior, is now the strongest of the Huo family, among the younger generation in Lijiang City, his strength is also the best.
Qin Hu knew that even though he had many subordinates, even if he was rushing to the crowd, he would not be the only opponent of the black guy in front of him!
"If you dare to be rude to your wife again, I will crush your bones and make you a sick cat!" A Tie's eyes were blasting fire, staring at Qin Hu, and said word by word.
Qin Hu was attracted by his momentum and was really scared. After taking a few steps, he thought about it. When he thought of the big backer behind him, he couldn't help but straighten his back a little. He looked around the crowd and shouted: "Dear fellow villagers, you have also seen that the Huo Family Hospital has harmed my brother, and now he is bullying others with his power. Is there any reason for this?"
Among the onlookers, most of them were local residents in the hometown and had some understanding of the bad deeds of the Evil Tiger Gang, so Qin Hu's words did not play much role. However, there were also a few foreign vendors who did not know the reason. When they saw Bai Xiaoer lying dying outside the clinic, they felt sympathy and accused them.
Qin Hu succeeded in his treacherous plan and couldn't help but smile. He was instructed by someone, but it was not necessary to smash the Huo Family Medical Center, which would damage the reputation of the clinic, and the purpose was achieved.
Seeing this, A Tie was so angry that he came forward that he took a step forward and wanted to teach this guy a lesson. But at this moment, Xu Shiyan stopped him.
"My Huo Family Medical Center has been open in Lijiang City for many years, and there has never been a saying that it has poisoned patients. If it is really the responsibility of my Huo Family Medical Center, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." Xu Shiyan walked over, her eyes were full of power, and she looked at Qin Hu, and said slowly: "If someone deliberately framed her, huh, even though my Huo Family is not as good as before, she will never give up!"
Her words were full of warning. After hearing this, Qin Hu and his men all changed their faces. As Xu Shiyan said, even if the Huo family is in decline and the lean camel is bigger than a horse, it would be easy to deal with his evil tiger gang.
"Mrs. Huo, let's not say anything else. It's a fact that my brother was treated in your clinic. It's a fact that he was poisoned after taking the doctor's pill. Now he is lying there. Will there be any fake?" Qin Hu said with courage.
Xu Shiyan swept him lightly and ordered Li Yaoshi beside him to check Bai Xiaoer's situation. In fact, when Bai Xiaoer fell at the gate of the clinic, Li Yaoshi had already seen it briefly. Although Bai Xiaoer's face was purple and he looked poisonous, his pulse and heartbeat were very normal.
At this moment, Pharmacist Li took out a pair of silver needles and carefully diagnosed Bai Xiaoer. After a while, Pharmacist Li stood up, looked at Xu Shiyan, and shook his head with a wry smile. Bai Xiaoer lying on the ground squinted his eyes and a cunning smile flashed on his face.
"Miss Mother, he seems to be poisoned, but his physical signs are like ordinary people, and there is nothing wrong with it. I really don't understand, how could he be so weak..." Li Yaoshi looked puzzled. He has been studying medicine for more than 20 years, and has never seen such cases before.
"A quack doctor is a quack doctor." Qin Hu was excited and shouted to the crowd around him: "All the villagers have seen it. This quack doctor wants to falsely accuse my brother of pretending to be poisoned and shirk responsibility. If my brother was not poisoned, how could he become like this now?"
Indeed, Bai Xiaoer's lips were black and his face was purple, which was a typical symptom of poisoning. If he was not poisoned, few people onlookers probably believed it.
The cause of the disease cannot be detected, and the situation is very unfavorable to the Huo family. After all, Bai Xiaoer did take the pills from the clinic and became like this. The Huo family could not shirk responsibility.
Huo Qiantao's old accident saw that if the matter was allowed to develop, it would only be more and more unfavorable to the Huo family. He sighed in his heart, walked to Qin Hu, and whispered: "I'm the Huo family admitting their defeat, the leader of the Qin gang, give your conditions!"
"Haha..." Qin Hu laughed smugly, opened his voice and said loudly: "You Huo Family Hospital left my brother with only half of his life. This compensation cannot be reduced... Well, just 50,000 taels of purple gold, let's have two clearances!"
Fifty thousand taels of purple gold are not a small amount. Calculately, it happens to be the value of only three stores left by the Huo family. This guy opens his mouth and is really cruel.
"Why don't you go and grab it!"
"Fifty thousand taels of purple gold, bah, I won't give you half a copper coin!"
A Tie, Pang Feng and others glared at each other, wishing they could immediately take action to beat these guys.
"You can't give me a single copper coin!" Qin Hu smiled sinisterly, pointed at Bai Xiaoer who was lying on the ground with his hand and kept humming, and said, "Qin carried my brother to the city lord's mansion and asked Ye City Lord to take charge. Hehe, Lijiang City is a rule of law. Qin doesn't believe that Ye City Lord will indulge your Huo family to do whatever they want!"
As soon as these words were said, all the Huo family members changed their expressions. If this matter was caused by Ye Tianmeng, how could there be a good result?
"Fifty thousand taels... Could it be that I really want to sell the last bit of the Huo family's property... Tian Gui, Ye Tianmeng, you are so cruel!"
Xu Shiyan's face was full of depression. The current situation is clearly that someone wants to remove the foundation of the Huo family's inheritance in Lijiang for thousands of years. She is unable to make up for the truth.
"Madam Huo, is it your Huo family who compensates 50,000 taels of purple gold, or will you go to the city lord's mansion to let it go? You have to think clearly, hehe..." Qin Hu and his group of minions burst into laughter.
