“Speak! How do you want to compensate? People died after taking the medicine from here, so tell me, how will you compensate?”
“If you don’t give us an explanation today, we will smash up your shop!”
“That’s right, give us an explanation!”
When she heard the noises from inside, Feng Jiu looked inside and saw Du Fan and Leng Shuang with two other people and a lifeless person on a stretcher.
However, at this time, Du Fan and Leng Shuang, one had a smile on his face while the other had a blank expression. It was a strong contrast to the seven or eight people crowded around the shop glaring at them.
The sharp-eyed Du Fan saw Feng Jiu and Leng Hua standing outside the shop and his eyes lit up. As he walked over quickly, he inadvertently stepped on the finger of the person on the stretcher. He saw that the fingers that were hanging down lifelessly move slightly.
When she noticed this, Feng Jiu smiled slightly and stepped inside: “What’s the matter? Is this person dead?”
“Yes, they said that he died after taking the medicine from our shop.”
“Really?” She asked casually.
“Maybe, I was just about to handle it.” Du Fan said with a smile on his face.
“Oh? How do you plan on handling the matter?” Feng Jiu asked cooperatively.
At this time, Du Fan turned around and looked at the seven or eight strong men on the side and said: “I’m really sorry, since your brother died after taking the medicine from our shop, we can compensate you with money, what do you think?”
Upon hearing this, they were overjoyed and looked at each other then said with a sullen face: “This is just the truth!”
“However, before I can compensate you, I have to confirm whether he has indeed died from taking the medicine from our shop first. I plan to cut his abdomen open to examine the contents.”
As soon as they heard these words, the seven or eight people were dumbfounded. Even the breathless corpse on the stretcher seemed to stiffen in an instant.
“What? Cut his abdomen open?” One of them stammered.
“That’s right, if I am going to compensate you with money, I have to confirm the reason don’t I? I have to make sure it is indeed our problem. As long as you agree, I will pay you one hundred thousand gold coins immediately. As for his corpse, you can be rest assured that we will bury him.”
Du Fan’s expression was stern, and seemed to think his suggestion was a good one. However, these words made those people hesitate and a little uneasy.
One hundred thousand gold coins! How long would it take for them to earn this amount of money? But, cut his abdomen open, this….
The crowd who were gathered outside listened and said: “That’s reasonable, since they are willing to compensate you monetarily, they have the right to find out if the reason for this man’s death was really because of their medicine. If this person is already dead, then what’s the harm in letting them cut him open?”
“Yeah, the person is dead anyway so it doesn’t matter if they cut him open.”
“Shuang’er, go to the back and bring me a cleaver, make sure it is the longer one.” Du Fan said to Leng Shuang.
Upon hearing the conversation, sweat gradually oozed out of the forehead of the person lying on the stretcher on the ground. Especially after he had heard Du Fan’s words, he felt a chill run down his back. He jumped up instantly and ran away in long strides.
“I don’t want to do it anymore, I don’t want to do it anymore! If I continue to pretend I will lose my life!”
Upon hearing this and then seeing the person who was pretending to be dead jump up and run away, the onlookers were taken aback. Their clear gazes turned to the seven or eight men in the shop who looked embarrassed and hurried away.
