This is your world

At this time, how could Cao Yan still dare to say no?

Being imprisoned is the best outcome now.

When the servants took Cao Yan away, Magistrate Cao's face was still full of anger.

He was really angry at his useless son.

However, the problem is not solved yet.

How to deal with this matter... became Magistrate Cao's biggest headache at this time.

At this time, there was already a heated discussion outside.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the government and him.

We are waiting for the government to give everyone a satisfactory explanation.

If we cannot satisfy the people, it may be difficult to quell their dissatisfaction.

but……

How can we appease the resentment of the common people?

Magistrate Cao thought for a moment with a cold face before looking at the master beside him.

At this time, the master looked frightened.

Magistrate Cao gave him a cold look: "Do you know your guilt?"

"Sir, my lord... I was wrong too..."

At this time, the master who witnessed Cao Yan's miserable end was so frightened that he felt bad.

Sir, he really... knows how to do it!

If even his own son is so ruthless, then he is not...

The master didn't dare to think about it and shuddered.

"snort!"

Magistrate Cao snorted coldly.

When his most trusted master teamed up with his son to deceive him, he was naturally furious.

But right now, there is no one around him who can use it.

This master has been with him for many years and is his right-hand man.

Therefore, Magistrate Cao did not punish him for the time being.

"I will settle the accounts with you later. Now, go and do something for me right away..."

When the master heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

This...doesn't it mean that the adults no longer plan to care about themselves?

The master quickly said: "Sir, what do you want to tell me to do? Just tell me..."

"..."

To quell public complaints, the first thing to do is to resolve the issue of drug stores monopolizing medicinal materials.

Magistrate Cao had been kept in the dark about this matter before.

Now that he learned about this, he was naturally very angry.

That rebellious son of Cao Yan actually dared to go behind his back and do such things to oppress the people under his nose.

Although Cao Yan placed all the blame on Cao Wei, with Magistrate Cao's understanding of him, how could he not know that he was lying?

Without Cao Yan's permission, would Cao Wei dare to do such a thing?

Of course, what made Magistrate Cao most angry was that the drug store owners under his jurisdiction were so bold.

"Catch them all, arrest them all!"

Magistrate Cao immediately ordered that all drug store owners who monopolized medicinal materials be arrested.

As soon as the news spread, it immediately caused a huge sensation in Ping'an County.

The bosses who had closed the drug stores were frightened to death after hearing the news.

They tried to contact their backer Cao Yan, but found that they couldn't.

And when they learned that Cao Yan had been grounded at home by the county magistrate, they finally realized that something was wrong.

problem occurs!

At this time, some drug store owners who had a premonition that something was wrong decided to run away.

However, most of the remaining drug store owners are not so lucky.

Early the next morning, before dawn, the Yamen's police officers went out en masse to start the arrest operation.

All of a sudden, the drug store owners who were hiding at home and still sleeping in bed were caught by the Yamen's police officers and were forcibly taken back to the Yamen.

Those monopoly drug stores have also been closed down one after another.

For a time, the common people who learned the news clapped their hands and praised and applauded!

Those who had protested celebrated their victory.

The county magistrate finally took action.

The county magistrate did not disappoint them.

The county magistrate is still fair and impartial.

In just two days, most of the drug shop owners were arrested and taken to the Yamen.

All pharmacies have also been sealed.

For most people, this is absolutely great news.

The people of Ping'an County have been complaining about being monopolized by these drug stores for many years.

I don’t dare to go to the doctor easily when I’m sick.

This time, all of them were finally caught. How could this not be a good thing to be applauded?

However, as the government closed down all drug stores, it did have a considerable impact.

There is absolutely no place for ordinary people to go to get medicine.

Although these drug stores have a monopoly on medicinal materials and sell them at high prices.

Most people cannot afford medicine, but for those who are sick and dying, they still have to take medicine, no matter how expensive it is.

However, as the government closed down all drug stores, people who were sick and wanted to get medicine had nowhere to go.

Their only option is to go to the county next door to get medicine.

But it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. If you wait until you take the medicine, you may be cured.

Or the person is gone!

Therefore, at a time when many sick people are worried about this matter.

Soon, a drug store that had not yet been sealed appeared in everyone's sight.

Located in the most prosperous area of ​​Ping'an County, there is a drug store that seems to have been newly opened not long ago.

The drug store is not big, but the decoration is very particular.

There were only two clerks and a young doctor in the drug store.

It is said that he is the owner of the drug store.

Of course, these are not the point. The point is that currently, this is the only pharmacy in Ping'an County that has not been closed down.

At the same time, what surprised everyone was that the drug prices in this pharmacy... were not high.

Very low.

Ridiculously low!

Compared with the prices of medicinal materials in other pharmacies, they are simply horribly low!

For a time, the news spread quickly.

In just a few days, the existence of this pharmacy was known to most people in Ping'an County.

Soon, countless people flocked to the pharmacy.

It's great that when these ordinary people came to this pharmacy, they really found that the medicinal materials in this pharmacy... were very cheap!

It is so cheap that even people from poor families can afford the medicine.

I can afford to get sick!

Conscience!

The drug store is on fire!

It became popular overnight.

It seemed that they had not bought cheap medicine for many years, and the people in Ping'an County almost went crazy and began to rush to buy Chinese medicinal materials from drug stores.

Such a terrifying and astonishing amount of purchases made the only two clerks in the pharmacy feel stupid.

Good guy!

Are the people crazy?

This is a drug store!

Why do you buy so many medicines?

Are you all sick?

"..."

Li Beifeng's drug store became popular overnight.

And all this was within Li Beifeng's expectations.

After all the pharmacies were sealed, only his was still alive.

If this is not popular, it will be unacceptable.

After killing all the competitors, there will naturally be no natural enemies.

Li Beifeng's medicine shop naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

Not to mention, the prices of medicines in his drug store are all normal prices. In many cases, it is even much lower than the normal drug price.

Without Cao Yan standing in the way, no one could stop Li Beifeng's prosperous medicine shop.

The medicine shop is booming, and the happiest person is none other than Shen Qingning.

When the drug store had no business at first, Shen Qingning was worried.

Nowadays, seeing more and more people coming to the drug store to buy medicine every day, Shen Qingning smiles more and more on her face.

For her, it seems to be a very happy thing that the pharmacy business can do well.

Even though she didn't get any benefit from the drug store, she was still very happy.

Especially since we see more and more people coming to drug stores to buy medicines every day, it has even become a rush buying trend in the end.

The medicines originally stocked in the pharmacy were almost sold out in no time.

This forced Li Beifeng to hang a sign at the door of the drug store, saying that the medicinal materials would only be sold to those in need.

"Great, our pharmacy is finally getting better!"

In the backyard of the drug store, Shen Qingning said happily.

As if thinking of something, she looked at Li Beifeng: "Will the business of our pharmacy get better and better in the future?"

"That's natural!"

Li Beifeng nodded: without Cao Yan's troubles, and with the help of the Shen and Su families, there would basically be no problems.

Judging from today's trends, Li Beifeng's pharmacy has established a firm foothold in Ping'an County.

The reputation of high quality and low price has been established. Even if other pharmacies reopen in the future, I am afraid that the business will no longer be able to compare with Li Beifeng's.

After all, Li Beifeng had already seized the opportunity and occupied the market in advance.

Furthermore... it must not be that easy to get out of these sealed drug stores.

"This is all thanks to that guy Cao Yan!"

Excited Shen Qingning blinked her eyes and seemed to think of something: "I heard that Cao Yan has been banned."

"Grounded?"

"Yes, I heard that his father locked him up at home and he was not allowed to come out again. And..."

As if she thought of something, Shen Qingning squinted her eyes and smiled: "I heard that he was beaten by his father... the beating was pretty bad."

"How miserable is it?"

"Then I don't know. I just heard it. I heard it was very miserable. His father beat him so much that he begged for mercy. He cried for his father and called his mother..."

Shen Qingning had only heard about it and was not particularly concerned about it.

Li Beifeng looked strange.

This was something he didn't expect.

Cao Yan was actually beaten?

This...good news!

Well done!

"However, it is also an advantage for her!"

Shen Qingning thought of something else, and said with a slightly angry expression: "That guy has done so many evil things, and even killed his mother... Just beating him and confining him is already a very cheap deal for him..."

Although she was a little angry, Shen Qingning had nothing to do.

After all, Cao Yan's father was the magistrate of Ping'an County.

No matter how extreme things Cao Yan did, he... was the only son of Magistrate Cao after all.

Moreover, because Cao Yan's mother died early and Cao County Magistrate neglected to take care of Cao Yan, Cao County Magistrate always felt guilty towards Cao Yan.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Yan became what he is now.

Although Magistrate Cao was fair and impartial, even if his son made a mistake, he would definitely teach him a lesson and punish him severely.

But severe punishment is one thing. What happened this time...if it were someone else who monopolized the drug store and harmed people's lives, they would probably be beheaded.

But if it were Cao Yan... he would just be beaten and put in solitary confinement, which was still too light a punishment for him.

"Taking advantage of him?"

Hearing Shen Qingning's words, Li Beifeng glanced at her and shook his head: "How can such a good thing happen?"

"What else can we do?"

Shen Qingning sighed: "Magistrate Cao will definitely not see anything happen to him. He banned Cao Yan. On the one hand, he severely punished Cao Yan. On the other hand, he also protected Cao Yan."

She seemed to have seen through everything.

Li Beifeng shook his head: "It's too early to say this now."

Shen Qingning was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Beifeng with squinted eyes, her eyes gradually becoming excited: "Do you have any other plans? Come on, tell me?"

Based on her understanding of Li Beifeng, is Li Beifeng brewing another shady plan?

Otherwise, why would he say that?

"No rush, just wait and see."

Li Beifeng shook his head, just smiled mysteriously, and didn't explain much.

"The matter...is not over yet."

"..."

Li Beifeng was right, the matter was indeed not over.

Those drug shop owners who were caught in the yamen quickly confessed everything under interrogation by the yamen.

These people have indeed deliberately joined forces to monopolize the medicinal materials market channels, raise the prices of medicinal materials, and earn the hard-earned money of the people.

They also quickly revealed the person behind all this...Cao Wei.

Everything was done by Cao Wei behind their backs.

They monopolized the medicinal materials market to make money, and then distributed the money to Cao Wei, while Cao Wei provided government protection.

Not long after the drug store owners confessed, Cao Wei was caught by the government agents as he was about to run away.

Cao Wei was caught in the yamen. Before he could be interrogated by the yamen, he cried and shouted that he would do anything.

And his move directly dragged Cao Yan into the water.

Cao Wei confessed that Cao Yan did everything.

He was just helping Cao Yan do things, and Cao Yan was instigating him behind the scenes.

At the same time, Cao Wei also provided a large amount of evidence to prove that everything he said was true and he was absolutely not lying.

After hearing the news, Magistrate Cao became angry again when he saw the evidence in front of him.

I almost didn’t go back with the ‘beating stick’ to slap the unfilial son on the spot.

"Sir, calm down, you have to calm down..."

The master on the side said cautiously: "Sir, the most urgent task now is how to solve this matter..."

After being reminded by his master, Magistrate Cao remembered the most important thing at the moment.

How to handle this case?

Chen Xu's mother died because of this. This matter needs an explanation.

Although so many drug shop owners were arrested, the grievances of the people were temporarily subsided.

However, it's not completely resolved yet.

The people were still not completely satisfied.

How to dispose of it?

Could it be... to deal with Cao Yan?
