Shopkeeper Zhao smiled, "That"s right . "

"May I inquire the ident.i.ty of the owner behind this spirit-gathering medicine 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 me for being unable to reveal this information .

That person was still somewhat 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 medicine 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 crimes have our staff committed for you to arrest all of us?"

The instant General Li spotted Qi Su he was startled for a moment . "You"re the owner of this spirit-gathering medicine store?"

"No, I"m only working for someone . " Qi Su frowned . "General Li, could you tell me what are your objectives for coming here?"

"Hmph!" General Li snorted . Even though Qi Su came out, he did not spare him any face in the slightest . "This spirit-gathering medicinal liquid"s formulation comes from the Imperial Palace and was stolen a while back . Now that your spirit-gathering medicine store is selling the medicinal liquid, it proves that you entered the palace and committed theft! Men, arrest them all and close down this medicine store . "

Qi Su knit his brows . He finally understood General Li"s purpose in coming . Originally, he a.s.sumed that it would take some time before they would attempt to seize the formulation but unexpectedly, they came during their first day of business . It seemed like someone must"ve heard the news of spirit-gathering medicinal liquid and had designs on it .

"According to General Li, this medicinal liquid formulation comes from the palace and even the puppet"s manufacture method 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 something, who would dare to resist?

"What? This spirit-gathering medicinal liquid was stolen from the palace, along with the puppet manufacturing method?"

"These people are really courageous to actually dare to steal from the Imperial Palace . Right now, the officers have even come to find the ones responsible . " The crowd had instantly started a discussion after hearing their conversation, while they cast a despising look at the medicine hall .


Qi Su"s expression sank . "Since General Li feels that our medicine store stole the formulation, then someone in the palace must know the method of producing this medicinal liquid . Why don"t we invite that person to demonstrate how to concoct the medicinal liquid . If they"re able to successfully do so, I"ll immediately enter the palace and acknowledge my crimes!"

General Li was startled . Concubine Qin sent him not only to seal the medicine store but to also seize the formulation . Yet, Qi Su wanted them to demonstrate producing the medicinal 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 frame our medicine store? General Li, you were originally an upright person, but after a year you"ve become so shameless!"
