The Mighty First Wife of the Red Chamber

In ancient times, to do a good job in business, in general, at least three things must be met: good people, good goods, and good reputation. There is a saying of "three treasures of business".Under the impact of this incident of taking medicine and eating dead people, the "three good" chain drug stores that Jialian Xia Ye worked so hard for a year are all on the verge of collapse. Opportunities will be slandered, and there will be big troubles.This is equivalent to a high-level "crisis public relations".

Although they guessed who was behind the scenes, neither Jia Lian nor Xia Ye dared to take it lightly. However, now that Jia Lian has a title on him, he doesn't need to do everything by himself as before. Suspected of "competing for profit with the people", so now they all retreat behind the scenes and sit in command.In addition to Xu Bo, two or three capable generals were trained, and at this time they were all mobilized to concentrate on dealing with this vicious incident, and strive to restore the reputation of the pharmacy chain.

When Xu Bo arrived at the branch in the west of the city, the door was still surrounded.

A pair of coffins lay across the shop entrance, and several people holding poles were talking passionately. From time to time, some onlookers took out a rotten egg or rotten tomato and threw it on the elegant black plaque above the shop. Showing an expression of righteous indignation, he waved and protested: "Dog|Japanese profiteer! Black conscience!"

Xu Bo silently thought about the main points of Professor Lian's second master Lian and his second grandmother, tightened his fists under his sleeves, squeezed from the side passage to the door of the store, showed a sincere expression, and made a gesture to the crowd of onlookers. With a long bow, he straightened his waist and looked around, and said loudly: "Guest officials, please calm down. What happened to this matter has not yet been settled. Please don't spread rumors. I really think that our shop has made some bad money. However, the funeral of the deceased God, it is always an annoying thing, our boss said that he is willing to pay 20 taels of compensation silver, so that the deceased can be buried in peace."

The idlers onlookers all commented and said: "Yeah, when someone died, let's bury him quickly. It's so hot in the world. If it keeps on like this, it will stink soon." "20 taels of silver is not bad." , more than enough for a general funeral.”

The few people holding sticks around the coffin said reluctantly: "If you want to buy a life for 20 taels of silver, don't even think about it! There is no 500 taels of silver, and there is no door! We will come to your shop every day to make a noise and call this Everyone in the Imperial Capital knows about your black shop, let's see who will come to your place to buy medicinal materials!"

Xu Bo saw that these people had no sincerity at all, they were just here to mess around, and more and more confirmed Lian's second grandmother's suspicion that someone must be instigating behind the scenes, so he said: "Hehe, these 20 taels of silver are just to look at the dead. The dead are all dead, and they have to be killed on the street, and they can’t be buried decently, so I gave it to you kindly. 500 taels, are you too embarrassed to open your mouth? If I gave you 500 taels of silver, wouldn’t it be more fulfilling for the dead person you brought here? Is the cause of death inseparably related to the medicinal materials sold in our shop? If this reputation spreads, it still means that there are no customers coming to the door? In this case, it is necessary to invite people from the government to uphold justice. Look at this deceased What does his death have to do with our shop?"

The face of the person holding the stick and pole changed, and when he was about to talk in a low voice, the voice of the yamen servant calling Jin to clear the way came.

Chen Weihui, the Chief Registrar of the Procuratorate, actually came to the scene in person!

Xu Bo cupped his hands towards Chen Weihui and made a "thank you" gesture.

A few yamen servants cleared the way, and Chen Weihui swaggered to the door, glanced majestically at the crowd at the door, and said calmly: "If there is any injustice, go to the yamen to beat drums and complain, and the master of the Procuratorate will make decisions for the people. What is the use of arguing in front of other people's shops? Come on, take all these troublemakers to the government office, even the coffin!"

Although the few people showed fear on their faces, they continued to shout: "Oh, the profiteers have colluded with the dog officials, and they are going to kill people! Where is the Yamen? I will only be killed if I don't go. I would rather crash and die in front of their shop!"

Chen Weihui stared, and said: "It's really abominable! When you touch your lips, you open your mouth and say that your family died after eating the medicinal materials from this store. It's not good for our adults to handle the case impartially and get the truth out of the matter." How dare you threaten me! Take it away, take it all away! Take away even the corpse, please come and check it out, so that your lord can investigate the case!"

Those people with shoulder poles and sticks all looked ashen, and turned to Chen Weihui for mercy and said, "My lord, we still have a lot of troubles at home. By the way, the shopkeeper just said to pay us 20 taels of silver. It’s better than nothing, we’ll take the money and leave, so as not to delay your official duties!”

Chen Weihui sneered and said, "You still want money? It's gone! Who told you donkeys to coax you into not leaving, but backing away! Since the official is in charge of this matter today, he must be clear about it and tell you to be present." Everyone is convinced!"

The case was investigated for about ten days. Although there was no result, the matter gradually calmed down, because it was the time when the whole country paid attention to the results of the palace examination, which naturally diverted the public's attention.

However, due to this turmoil, the store's reputation has been somewhat affected, and this month's income has been reduced by half compared to last month.Jia Lian and Xia Ye were not in a hurry, but the planners behind the scenes saw that the ruthless move took so much effort, and they caused such an insignificant little wave, which did not hurt the fundamentals of the competitors at all. , but I was annoyed and anxious, and couldn't sleep well night after night.

Half a month later, after a careful trial by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the facts of the case finally came to light.

The deceased did purchase medicinal materials in Jia Lian's store, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate carefully questioned several doctors who had seen the deceased and they all said that the deceased had been in poor health and had been taking medicine for a long time. He murmured behind his back that it wouldn't be surprising if he burped his neck one day.

Moreover, after asking the deceased's neighbors and other people, they all said that the deceased's son and daughter-in-law had long been disgusted with the deceased, and even said that they wished the deceased would die sooner. It was only due to the pressure of the elders in the family that they had to continue to extend medical treatment to the deceased.

However, it is very strange that the deceased's son and daughter-in-law had been buying medicinal materials in the Hong family drugstore before, but they suddenly changed to Jia Lian's drugstore to buy medicinal materials shortly before the deceased's death, and this change caused an accident.

Mr. Ducha was very careful, he asked little by little, those accomplices softened first, knelt down and begged for mercy, the deceased's son named Gao Xuan was put on a stick, and after being tortured, he couldn't bear the pain, and told the truth of the matter They were all recruited.

On that day, Gao Xuan came to Hong's pharmacy, handed the prescription to the clerk who bought the medicine, and said, "Get some of the above ones, and they are the cheapest ones. For that ginseng, just get some reed whiskers and pretend it off."

The clerk knew him before, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, your old man is an elderly person, and the medicine should be heavier. Your prescription is too mild, and it won't work after taking it."

Gao Xuan said angrily: "I just want that old man to die soon. How can I buy any good medicine for him? The old man takes medicine every day, and he eats up all his wealth! But my uncle doesn't obey Since, I got the ancestral property, I want to take good care of that old thing, and every time I go back to grab the medicine, I have to show him to see it with my own eyes, so I can't help it, so I have to get some cheap ones and go back and fool around?"

The boss Hong Shichou came out and just heard this, so he quietly asked the staff to invite Gao Xuan to the back hall, and drank tea and exchanged a few words before getting to the point, saying: "Some people are old and terminally ill. A good disease has to rely on the power of medicine and stones to heal it reluctantly, but it hurts the family. It would be better if he went to that world earlier. There is a better idea. The old man has been ill in bed for more than ten years, and when he dies, he should also be asked to take care of the descendants. If there is some benefit from it, I think he will be willing."

Gao Xuan's eyes lit up as soon as he heard it, and he urged Hong Shichou again and again, "Boss Hong, tell me quickly what's your idea, don't say half of it and don't say half of it, it makes people panic!"

In the end, Boss Hong came up with this idea. He ordered Gao Xuan to go to Jia Lian's shop to buy medicinal materials. After returning, the original prescription had increased or decreased. Although they were all medicinal materials, they were harmless to the body by nature. In addition, the deceased was originally a half-dead body, so he died after eating. The son of the deceased was happy to throw away the burden of many years, and got money from the Hong family, and went to Jia's shop to make trouble. A sum of money, so how can Xu Bo's 20 taels of silver be valued?

Unexpectedly, the height of the devil is one foot, and the height of the road is one foot. Boss Hong calculated and calculated, but included himself in the calculation. He thought it was just a trick to frame people, but in the end, he included himself in it!

Hong Shichou was now suspected of murder, and was put in prison immediately. All the shops of Hong's family were sealed by the government.His wife, Xue Baochai, was crying and fainted at home. At this time, she already had a posthumous child in her womb. However, after going through this turmoil, it is not known whether she can be born and brought up smoothly.

Afterwards, the results of the palace examination were announced. Lin Daiyu's husband, Ge Haofeng, was quick-witted, and his eloquent and eloquent essay was very heart-warming. Long Yan was very happy, and Yubi chose him as Tanhua.

That day, when the number one scholar, the second place, and Tanhua Sanding Jia Yujie praised the officials and won the crowds to watch, Ge Haofeng, the most handsome among the three, wore a huge bright red flower and rode a tall horse straight to Jia's house. At the door of the shop, he was full of praise to the shopkeeper, and said: "Before the exam, I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep and couldn't remember anything. Fortunately, I ate the Dendrobium candidum and purple ganoderma lucidum in your shop. It not only calms the nerves, but also greatly benefits the studies. With a photographic memory, the Four Books and Five Classics are in my chest..."

With the friendly performance of the newly promoted Tanhualang and the powerful advertising effect, Jiajia Drugstore set off a round of panic buying, and took advantage of the trend to increase its expansion efforts, opening five more stores in the whole imperial capital, becoming a well-known medicinal material giant in the capital, And intend to promote the country.
