Chapter 202: The Plague Strikes the Entire Southeast2

Lin Xun couldn't help but applaud Chunge, thinking that Chunge had already known the result, just doing a good show for others to see, firstly, to dispel the suspicion of everyone in the southeast, lower the enemy's estimation of himself, and retain his strength with a false fight, and secondly, to take advantage of this moment that everyone's eyes were on him, diverting the attention of the southeastern families, so as to make his secret actions more secretive. Chun Ge's extremely proficient use of the art of war and some potential laws of officialdom really made Lin Xun's eyes shine.

"I've heard people say that there are few people in this world who are sanity, and I'm ashamed that I'm not, but Sang Qing is." Chun Ge recalled that Su Jianyu had proudly mentioned his first apprentice who had been fully cultivated, that was Lin Xun, and Su Jianyu's every word and every sentence of Chun Ge was deeply memorable, which was also one of the important reasons why Lin Xun was the son of Lin Xiang and Chun Ge did not reject it.

"I'm afraid that person is overlooked, and I'm just an ordinary man, otherwise how could I be here." Lin Xun's face seemed to show a self-deprecating look, he knew that he couldn't afford to let go too much, and he was willing to give too much, so that he couldn't be at ease after all.

"I have my own decision about what kind of person Sang Qing is, but I hope never to be your enemy." Chun Ge didn't use a tone, just simply described the event he wanted to express.

Lin Ge didn't answer, just blinked his eyes, he knew what Chun Ge said, and he also knew that Chun Ge didn't want to be the enemy of Lin Xun, so Chun Ge would use you, this person in front of Chun Ge, even if this person was Sang Qing under Lin Ge's pseudonym.

"Are you worthy of my promise?" It was only after a long time that Lin Xun held back such a question.

"It's a question for you to ponder, not for me to answer." Chun Ge is very happy, Lin Xun always has a way to think about Chun Ge's problems rationally, and understands the deep meaning of Chun Ge, if there is such a person as a friend, then he will not be lonely in this life.

"Looks like I'm going to have to think about it." Lin Xun smiled, didn't say anything more, and groped his way back to the room with the route in his memory.

And Chun Ge didn't help him, he knew that this was something that Lin Xun and he had to face, if it was resolved, it would be a great joy, but unfortunately the relationship between the two was cold, then he would face an unprecedentedly powerful opponent, or that kind of opponent who knew himself and knew the other was like another opponent of himself.

Six days later

The cold wind has made the southeast of the recent warmer weather fall into the torment of cold winter again, but for some reason the original lively street market is extraordinarily deserted, and the number of people is gradually decreasing, a few days ago there are still a few people who will go to the hospital for treatment, most of the doctors say that the cold wind into the body is just a common wind chill in early spring and does not matter, who expected the number of these people to surge, just one day in Hangzhou is enough for one or two hundred people to get sick.

As the saying goes, it doesn't matter if you have a small illness, but if you have more, you will die. In this way, the small wind chill has silently evolved into an epidemic disease, if it is just a small cold, no major casualties, then it is okay, but coincidentally, three days ago, the first group of people who fell ill died one after another, dying of a small wind chill. As soon as the news came out, it caused a unanimous panic among the big guys, and finally the old head of the Qiu family came out to testify that the plague of the earthquake had reached Hangzhou with the cold wind from the south, and it spread rapidly in the city, and everyone was facing death at any time, and they must be cautiously prevented and isolated and treated.

The head of the Qiu family is a former leader in the medical field. Big Guy's words, enough to make Hangcheng tremble, just when everyone wanted to escape from the southeast but the southeast closed down on this day, there was a small rumor spread, no one knew who came from it, the characters of all walks of life in the southeast at the same time learned that Chun Ge had suppressed the plague with his own strength in the predicament of no medicinal materials, and at the same time, the people in the southeast once again remembered Chun Ge's mother, who was known as the most powerful doctor in the history of the Qiu family, and even Uncle Qiu had to stand aside The goddess doctor was Chun Ge's biological mother, and the folk were rumoring that Chun Ge had inherited the strengths of his parents, all of them were fine。

Just when everyone pinned their hopes on Chunge, the official mansion, which should have been the most lively in the past few days, was closed and never saw guests, and even Chunge also spread the news that he was seriously ill and had been caught by the plague and was too busy to take care of himself, so how could he take care of others. But there are also rumors that Chun Ge held a banquet in the government three days ago and waited for a whole day, but no one appreciated his face, and Chun Ge fell ill in a fit of anger. For a while, the merchants became the public enemies of the whole people, those who were sick, and there were always injured merchants who had nothing to do to hang around, and even set fire to the merchants' houses, and Hangzhou could be described as chaos.

Maybe it's because the matter is too big, Chunge dragged his sick body, went to the plague area by himself, gave some prescriptions, and said the precautions, he looked tired and half dead, and was carried back to the government to recuperate.

Chunge's guidance was in the name of delaying the plague, so his words were taken as a guideline, and no one disobeyed him. Since everyone believed it, they naturally bought medicine according to Chunge's prescription. The people who bought the drugs found out that these drugs were all detained, and these people were the previous merchants. Fortunately, these merchants may have found out in their conscience that at the beginning, they still sold very fairly, but after a merchant's family fell ill and was cured by these medicines, the value of this medicine increased by hundreds and hundreds, and by the time a few days ago it had reached the market price of five or six taels a dose. Just imagine, Chun Ge opened some ordinary medicinal materials, but now it is not something that ordinary people can afford, how can the people of Hangzhou not complain, but in order to survive, they can only smash pots and sell iron to buy.

This kind of state that the people can't afford to eat in order to buy medicine, it lasts for two days, and it can't be maintained, Chunge, as a messenger, because he can't get the medicine, he squanders his money, opens the convenient door of the government, and wins countless official reputations, while the merchants on the contrary are more and more spurned. The businessmen also knew their situation, but in line with the professional attitude that if they had money and didn't make money, they were not a good businessman, so they could only increase the unit price to retaliate against Chunge, because they knew that the people's money for buying medicine was given by Chunge out of his own pocket, and they didn't believe what Chunge's purse could have.

Chunge's bottom line is naturally not something that ordinary people can guess, what they never know is that Chunge began to copy his father's paintings from a few years ago, and sold them to those vassal and elegant merchants for sale, maybe the authentic works of those officials and Pengs in the southeast are all counterfeited by Chunge, and Chunge has also made a lot of money because of it, and it is not his own small money that is bulging in his pocket.

*********

"Butler, now the price of medicine has risen to a few taels." Chunge sat in his room drinking tea, a little weak when he didn't see anyone.

"Now it's up to sixteen taels." The old housekeeper himself was also taken aback by this number, but then he couldn't help but complain when he thought about his own Xie Yuangong's shriveled purse: "These beasts are not human anymore, they are just a few dollars of medicinal herbs that are fried to one tael, and then four taels, only a few hours to six taels, and then it has risen to the current sixteen taels, and they can earn this black-hearted money, and one day they will be retributed." ”

"What's so difficult about this, when it reaches twenty taels, I'll let them spit out the money." Chun Ge wanted the old housekeeper to hand over a cup of tea and motioned to dissipate his anger.

The old housekeeper took it very puzzled, and asked Chun Ge with a pair of old eyes, why did he say this, but what answered him was always Chun Ge's raised eyebrows and smiled.
