Astral Apostle

In the house, several wooden boxes were placed on the ground, containing bottles of colorful medicines. There were no labels on the bottles, and the medicines were very turbid and looked of poor quality.

The man with the goatee, the two surviving attendants, and the witch doctor Jiama, squatted in the corner with their heads folded, watching Zhou Jing check the potions one by one with trepidation.

Because of Zhou Jing's presence, they were terrified by the fighting power of the alien hunters, so they didn't dare to resist or escape at all.

Zhou Jing looked at the potion, then turned around and looked at Jiama.

"It turns out that you have saved a lot of potions. Half a year ago, you lied that you didn't have potions, and you were deliberately trying to save my brother."

"No!" Jiama quickly explained: "This is a new potion I made during this time. I really ran out of potions at the time. I..."

Facing Zhou Jing's "keep composing" look, his defense became quieter and quieter.

Zhou Jing snorted coldly: "My brother met you for the first time, because he was an outsider, you died... I don't know why you think my brother is a threat to your business.

But if I hadn't come, you'd have succeeded. It's too simple to do some tricks in your duties, right? Not many people will care. "

Gamma buried her head, not daring to answer.

Zhou Jing fiddled with the potions and asked casually, "How about you reselling the potions? What price are these potions selling?"

"Usually four bottles of one silver coin..." Jiama replied tremblingly.

so cheap? It is much lower than the cost of purchasing normal medicines in pharmacies.

Zhou Jing did the math, and was a little surprised: "Then you only sell more than thirty silver coins for these boxes of medicines? Your pharmacist's income isn't that low, right?"

Because of this little money, take the risk?

I thought it was a big business of at least a few hundred silver coins.

It's just that there are not many goods this time. In the past, a batch of them could sell for fifty or sixty silver coins... Jiama thought so in her heart, but she didn't have the courage to say it.

"How did you get on the line with this person?" Zhou Jing glanced at the two of them, pulled out a dagger and played with it.

Jiama trembled in her heart, turned her head and glanced at the goatee man, and suddenly turned her heart away, revealing her full cooperation with this man.

A high-level pharmacist makes huge profits, but he has never been a crappy pharmacist.

A few years ago, Jiama wandered to Baiyuan City and wanted to cooperate with the Baiyuan City Pharmacy, but because of his poor level, he was turned away from the door to sell potions, the potions could not be sold at all, and his money was spent Almost there, even the raw materials of the medicine can hardly be bought.

At that time, it was this goatee man who quietly stopped him, pointed him to a way, and asked him to go to the surrounding villages as a village doctor, so Jiama came to Shuangmu Village and stayed here.

After staying in Frostwood Village for several years, a team of hunters gathered raw materials for him for free, and making potions became a profitable business.

It's just that with his craftsmanship, the basics he makes are all defective products. And this goatee man came with the cover of the grain harvesting team every time, secretly purchased his defective medicines in batches and brought them back to Baiyuan City.

As for what to do with it, Jiama doesn't know and doesn't care.

Although the price is very low, it is not bad for Jiama, after all, the potions he makes are usually difficult to sell.

Therefore, over the years, he used the pretext that potion production is easy to fail, and used most of the materials brought by the hunter team to greedy ink. Only a small part of the potions he produced were enough to meet the needs of the village, and the rest were private gains.

After listening to Jiama's explanation, Zhou Jing looked at the goatee man, raised his eyebrows and said, "You are from the pharmacy, right? We met once, do you remember?"

The goatee man nodded subconsciously.

When he saw Zhou Jing just now, he felt a little familiar. He squatted and thought silently for a while, and then vaguely remembered the brief encounter between the two three months ago.

Hearing this, Zhou Jing touched his chin.

Fortunately, I didn't come up to talk to this person as soon as I found out in the morning,

Otherwise, it may startle the snake and cause people to be on guard. If you don't do anything tonight, you won't be able to encounter this kind of thing.

Without the right time, rash contact may not be a good thing. After all, there is no golden exclamation mark on people's heads, and events cannot be triggered by an interaction.

"Then tell me, it's impossible to kill my friend because of the 30-silver business, right? How did you make money from purchasing these defective potions? You must earn more than this amount of money, right?"

Zhou Jing played with the dagger and stared at the man with the goatee.

The cold light of the dagger flashed in the goatee's eyes, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said carefully:

"I am a small supervisor of the pharmacy in Baiyuan City. I purchased these pharmacies to secretly exchange the inventory of the pharmacy..."

After listening to a few words, Zhou Jing understood.

This goatee purchased the inferior medicines made by the village doctor at a low cost in the nearby village, and then took advantage of his position to recharge the inferior medicines, and use these inferior medicines to replace the high-quality medicines in the pharmacy warehouse.

In this way, unknowingly, I quietly replaced batches of pharmacies' inventory.

Not only will the quantity of the stocked potions not match the account book, but also for personal gain, the good potions in stock will be resold.

Taking public things for personal gain, and slowly emptying the pharmacy, in this way, the goatee has made a profit of several thousand tera silver coins.

The defective medicines are mixed with normal medicines, put on the shelves together, and sold at the price of normal medicines. The income of the pharmacy is still guaranteed, and it is the buyer who suffers in the end... But there is only one pharmacy in the city, and no one else does. You have to choose, it doesn't matter at all.

Although the effect of the defective medicine is very poor, it can't kill people, and the final interpretation right still belongs to them.

'Hey, Chen Liang is changing to new food, I didn't expect this kind of operation to happen here. ’

Zhou Jing was happy.

It seems that no matter what world they are in, those who exploit the loopholes can always look beyond the times.

In the eyes of some people in the main world, maybe this is a "smart person" who knows how to make money and has rich social experience.

"Then who did you sell the good potion you exchanged for?"

"Privately peddled to past traders, or sent to other towns to sell..." Goatee smirked.

"You're so arrogant, aren't you afraid of being discovered by other supervisors of the pharmacy? Aren't you afraid of being checked by a cooperating pharmacist? Aren't you afraid of being noticed by the lord?"

Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows and raised the goatee's chin with the back of the knife.

Feeling the coldness of the chin, the goatee's Adam's apple twitched, and he hurriedly said:

"Those pharmacists had better be appeased, how could they buy back the medicines that have been sold to us in a hurry, and even if they find out, it's enough to say that these are some substandard medicines. And no one in charge of the other supervisors will check the medicines. Fineness, there are even people doing the same business as me.

...As for the lord, as long as the pharmacy provides tax, the lord Root will not notice the abnormality. If the lord uses the potion, we will definitely give the best product. "

Zhou Jing clicked his tongue.

This man's life has been too judgmental.

He thought it was just a simple reselling, but he didn't expect to make a mistake and reveal the inside story of the pharmacy in Baiyuan City, which involved a gray chain of interests.

... It seems that corruption exists wherever there are people, even in this relatively primitive world, there is such a problem.

He quietly opened the panel and spent 10 astral points to look at the attributes of this goatee. It was just the level of an ordinary person, nothing unusual.

Zhou Jing smacked his lips, turned his head to look at the potion again, and said, "What kind of potions are the defective products you bought?"

"Healing potions, all kinds of disease potions... There is nothing else." Goatee whispered.

At this time, Garma added: "There are also some hunter potions."

Goatee turned his head and glared angrily.

Jiama didn't dare to look at him, and waved to Zhou Jing again and again, and hurriedly said: "Jason, I don't know anything about these things. If I had known that they were using my medicine to do this kind of thing, I wouldn't dare to say anything..."

"To shut up."

Jiama immediately covered her mouth and did not dare to speak.

Zhou Jing was too lazy to pay attention to this man, and squinted at the goatee: "The hunter potion also has defective products? You can really kill yourself."

Alien beast hunters protect Baiyuan City from the threat of alien beasts. Some people dare to provide defective products to alien beast hunters for personal gain... and they are so expensive!

Simply digging your own grave!

At this moment, the door of the pharmacist's hut was pushed open, and Baron strode in, followed by Ross. After subduing these people, Zhou Jing asked Ross to quietly pull Baron over.

"This is how the same thing?"

Baron looked at the situation on the field and was confused.

He was sleeping at night when he suddenly woke up and found a figure standing beside the bed. He was so frightened that his soul went out of his body, and he almost slashed it with an axe.

Finally found that Ross was standing beside his bed, Baron was relieved, and then wondered how Ross entered his room without a sound.

If this is a night attack, wouldn't it be a disaster for me?

Ross couldn't speak, so he couldn't explain what happened clearly. He dragged and dragged him and motioned Baron to go to the pharmacist's hut.

Although Baron was surprised, he quickly put on his equipment, trotted to come here, and saw the scene at the moment as soon as he entered the door. Zhou Jing sat on the only chair in the room, with the witch doctor Jiama and three unknown men squatting in the corner.

Zhou Jing kicked Jiama with his foot and motioned for him to explain.

Jiama did not dare to hide it, so she had to tell the situation again tremblingly.

Soon, Baron also understood what was going on.

"What?! You didn't save Will on purpose?"

Baron was furious, grabbed Gamar by the neck, and lifted him up.

"Cough cough cough..." Jiama coughed again and again, unable to breathe.

Seeing this, Baron let go of his hand and let him fall to the ground.

"You are really good, you have been deceiving our village... and you, a pharmacy person, dare to sell defective hunter potions..."

Baron's chest rose and fell violently, and he was so angry that he wished that his left hand and right hand would move in slow motion, splitting the small skulls of the two of them.

Several people shivered and shrank into a ball.

Zhou Jing, who was on the side, said, "I called you here, just to discuss, how to deal with this matter?"

The main world has a whole set of laws for dealing with corruption, but when he encounters this kind of problem here, he doesn't quite understand what the process is, so he asks Baron to ask.

Barron calmed down.

He pondered for a while, then came close to Zhou Jing's ear and whispered:

"We have to report this kind of vile behavior to the lord. They are important witnesses. Only by handing them over to the lord can the corruption in the pharmacy be thoroughly investigated, and no more hunters will buy defective potions. ... Root must hate someone to deceive and harm his interests, he will not let these two guys go, it will probably be hanged."

"Alright."

Zhou Jing nodded, thinking secretly.

There is no profit in killing people directly, and if such corrupt behavior is reported to the lord, how much will the lord express it?

Although I don't care much about the money in the world of alien beasts, if we resolve this incident, we may be able to get more astral points or information-state particles when we return to the settlement.

By the way, there is also the profit of Jiama these years...

Zhou Jing remembered this, thoroughly checked the house, and finally found a few hidden compartments, from which he took out two bulging money bags.

After a little inventory, there are about seven or eight hundred Terra silver coins.

Jiama's face was ashes. These are the savings he finally saved by selling potions.

Even for high-income alien hunters, it is a lot of money, and it takes several hunts to earn.

"What about the money?" Zhou Jing asked.

"What do you think?" Barron asked back.

Zhou Jing thought about it, UU reading www.uukanshu. com shrugged and said, "You and I will take some and give some to the hunter team. The rest will be handed over to the village. Anyway, some of them include the labor of the villagers."

"I thought you would stay by yourself." Balon was a little surprised.

"I'm not interested in money."

Zhou Jing waved his hand.

At least in the alien world, this is the truth.

At this time, Jiama couldn't help but plead:

"I've treated the villagers for so many years, so I deserve credit, and if I hadn't resold the medicine, I wouldn't have had the money at all... Could you leave some for me?"

Niubi, this person can really open his mouth.

Zhou Jing raised his brows and snapped his fingers.

Ross immediately approached Garma and slowly drew out the dagger.

"No! I don't!" Garma shouted in horror.

"It would have been so early."

Zhou Jing waved his hand and asked Ross to take out the cloth strips and gag the mouths of several people.

Balon ignored Jiama, paced around the room for a while, and said solemnly:

"Jason, you can set off tonight and take these two people to Baiyuan City. There are guards on the grain harvesting team. If you run into them during the day, it is very troublesome to explain, and it is easy for them to misunderstand that you are kidnapped and taken away. People from the food team."

"Okay, then I'll leave later." Zhou Jing nodded: "What about you?"

"I'm dealing with the grain harvesting team in the village, you don't have to worry about things here." Baron responded.

Hearing this, Zhou Jing did not delay, and went home quickly to pack up.

Then he borrowed a pack beast from a fellow countryman, loaded the boxes of defective potions, and covered the night, with Ross and the goatee man and Gama on the road.

Baron stood at the entrance of the village and watched, watching the figures of Zhou Jing and his party get farther and farther away, disappearing into the night.
