Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

Chapter 59 Report
In the Medicine King Hall.

Chen Ku was digesting the news and information he had obtained tonight at this banquet that was not at the level of his circle.

"Let's not talk about anything else. If I can get that bait rat and sell it to these noblemen, I can at least make a lot of money!"

I heard from them that this bait rat is worth at least two or three hundred taels of silver. If you can catch three or four, you will get a thousand taels of silver.

If we run into that pandemic they talk about and typhoid fever spreads, I'm afraid the price will be even higher.

And Chen Ku also did not forget the other news he heard.

Peace Road?
Free talisman water to cure diseases?

Even the young men and women of this world, upon hearing about this, knew that something was not right and there was definitely a conspiracy.

After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
What’s more, Chen Ku had seen so much information explosion in his previous life, combined with some historical things?
In case of major disasters or epidemics, can talismans and water be used to cure the disease?
Add to that a "Ping An Dao" and it definitely smells like white lotus and peace. It's definitely a big deal. Not to mention that this is a border. Once chaos breaks out...

By then, I'm afraid it won't just be a matter of not having enough food. The great trend of the world will come and I'm afraid that not only him, but even the entire Medicine King Hall will not be able to withstand it.

Therefore, Chen Ku had a sense of urgency to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Whether it is saving more money or accumulating more skills, it is all for the purpose of being able to survive in this world and live a better life. One must never fall under the avalanche caused by a certain environment.

"The Medicine King Hall has bait rats for testing medicine. Given my current relationship with Master Ke, I should be qualified to go and take a look, or at least smell it. Then I can send the greyhounds out to look for it over at Liangjie Mountain..."

Thinking of this, I fell into a deep sleep.

But he didn't know,

In the Lianjia forest where the Xiquan often appeared before, an unexpected person appeared here at this time.

"Master Huang, you're here to collect herbs so late at night? This kind of thing is not something that would bother a great pharmacist like you!" The servants of the Lian family had a cart of herbs that had been picked and brought to Huang Gun and his men.

"The quality of the medicinal materials delivered to your medicine mountain recently is not a little bit poor."

Huang Gun's face was cold:
"If I don't come here in person, it will seem that my Medicine King Hall is not something you and your family should be afraid of, right?"

He was originally in charge of the inner storehouse of Yaowang Hall, and was responsible for all medicinal materials and the flow in and out of the storehouse.

Now, the medicinal materials that the Lian family's drug supplier has been sending to him continuously are all inferior products, and they don't give him any tribute. Even if he is a stone man, he can't turn a blind eye and pretend that he didn't see anything.

Why?
Upon hearing this, the Lian family steward immediately felt guilty, and then made a bitter face and defended himself:

"This... there is a story behind this. It's mainly because something strange has happened on this mountain recently. The precious, high-quality medicinal materials are becoming less and less every day. We thought that some expert herbalist was stealing our family's money on the mountain, but after a few days of checking, there really wasn't any... Later we found out that it seemed like there was some dog demon on the mountain that was stealing herbs every day... We could always find dog footprints where there were traces of herbs..."

"A thin dog... um, a thin dog?"

Huang Gun had originally heard that there were demons digging for herbs, but he didn't take it seriously. After all, warriors with internal energy or above would eat demons as meat, and some demon meat was more beneficial to replenishing qi and blood than ordinary precious herbs...

But I heard that the demon was the descendant of a small dog.

The uneasiness that had been buried deep in his heart suddenly seemed to be ignited by something, and he burst out with a start.

He subconsciously thought of the thing he was most worried about...

The police found out that it was his nephew Huang Ba who was killed by a small dog and the money box that was lost in his nephew's house. The key point was that in the money box there were some letters from him asking his nephew to resell the things in the Medicine King Hall's inner storehouse for him...

At this time, the dogs, the demons, and the medicine diggers...

Combine something.

Baoyao, apprentice, Huang Ba, fellow villager...

Huang Gun seemed to have subconsciously grasped some clues.

The only thing that doesn't make sense is...

"What kind of dog is that, so psychic?"

Because even if it is a demon, it has only cultivated demonic energy. In most cases, it is still a beast without sufficient intelligence... What's more, how could a demon-level dog be driven by a poor, mud-legged person?
Why?
But Huang Gun couldn't help himself from thinking so.

What if?
There are always some people in this world who have adventures?
"If it's really that Chen Ku... He's currently very popular in front of Ke Yansheng, there's no way I can investigate and deal with him in the courtyard... If we really want to break it up, if the letter is really in his hands, won't I be the one to die?"

Huang Gun was thinking deeply:
"Anyway, keep a closer eye on him these days. If it's really him... if we can't do anything to him in the hall, can we do anything to him outside the hall?"

There is a kind of peculiar medicinal powder in the inner storehouse, called "corpse-dissolving powder". It can dissolve not only corpses but even bones completely.

My mind is turning so many things.

Huang Gun looked coldly at the Lian family steward in front of him:
"Is this what you told me? It seems that we need to ask the shopkeeper of our hall to personally discuss this matter with your family master and tell him what to do! After all, no one in Baojiao County dares to humiliate our Yaowang Hall like this!"

Even if it was really the demons that emptied the medicine mountain, it is not a reason to pass inferior products off as good ones.

The Lian family manager's expression changed again and again. This matter was not a small matter. After all, everyone knew that the purchase of medicinal materials was a big deal. If he was greedy, others would be greedy too...

The reason why this incident happened today was simply because the manager of the Medicine King Hall's internal treasury was not allowed to get what he greedily wanted, or he greedily got too little.

So, these smart people immediately knew what to do.

"Master Huang, please calm down. Of course, we were definitely wrong in this matter. Can you give us a rule? How can we avoid making things worse?" Manager Lian said.

Huang Gun said calmly: "That's naturally very simple. Just pay back what you owe and give some compensation."

Even the steward gnashed his teeth. He didn't expect that this greedy guy would not only take what he was owed, but also want to give him more as a gift.

Late at night, Huang Gun took enough benefits and brought two carts of medicinal materials back to the city. One cart was taken back to Yaowang Hall, and the other was taken to another place.

This time, he embezzled at least five hundred taels.

…………

[There is a person named Huang Gun, who has unfavorable thoughts towards the owner of the picture]

Chen Ku woke up in the middle of the night and saw the reminder on the change chart. His face changed slightly and then became serious.

Huang Gun?

Last time, he had been unkind to me, and the change diagram reminded me once, and now he reminded me again, and the word he used was still "unfavorable thoughts"...

"What did he find?"

Chen Ku's eyes flickered slightly, thinking that those letters were enough to ruin Huang Gun's reputation in Yaowang Hall, but his own prestige was obviously not enough.

After all, since he holds such a key position in the inner treasury of Yaowang Hall, it goes without saying that he may have someone relying on him. It would be difficult to bring him down with just a few letters and the report of a small apprentice like himself.

But since the change chart has given a reminder, we have to consider taking preemptive action.

"Give those letters to Master Ke?"

Thinking about Master Ke’s character.

Apart from anything else, he really regards himself as the successor and considers himself in every way.

But if he handed the letter over and asked where the letter came from, it would be difficult to hide the fact that he had killed Huang Ba and the secret of the greyhound's transformation.

After all, killing people is something you can do, but you can't tell everyone about it, and you can't make it public so generously, not to mention that the transformation map is your foundation.

"I can't report it openly, or I will be exposed. So I will do it secretly and directly to Yaowangtang's face. Even if I can't kill Huang Gun, I have to take the initiative and make him lose some skin."

The letter was still in the yard outside. Chen Ku immediately got up from the bed, drove his dog, made sure no one was following him, and went to get the letter back.

He took out one of the letters, opened the contents, and pasted it on the door frame of the Medicine King Hall at night, taking advantage of the dark night and strong wind. On it was the amount of money that he had embezzled from the internal storehouse and sold outside...

Then I went to bed and waited for dawn, looking forward to the hall opening the next day and my reaction after seeing the letter on the door.
