"It's so dark!"

"We obviously made money in accordance with the "rules" and saved many innocent people, but this yamen actually found us. Ye Zhan scolded.

Ye Zhan was also at the scene, watching Zheng Qi being arrested by the officials on the street, and the officials dragged Zheng Qi's shoulders and feet on the ground, swaggering through the market like a dead dog.

Seeing this situation, Ye Zhan's mood can be described as uncomfortable and sad.

"Our family's property has also been snatched by those people, how can we be reasonable."

Ye Zhan's complaints stopped in Xu Yi's ears, and they seemed to be like pinpricks.

Originally, Xu Yi still had certain illusions about the adults in Huating County, hoping that they would be able to abide by some of the most basic business bottom lines in this feudal era.

I really didn't expect the reality to be so cruel.

Not much to say, no matter how shameless these guys are, they will not affect Xu Yi's plans. Xu Yi's carefully laid out bureau will bloom in this Huating County soon!

..

The yamen has issued a notice!

“...”

"Langzhong Zheng Qi plotted against him, wantonly amassed wealth, and intended to murder the people."

“...”

"Ten days later, beheaded outside Huating County for public display!"

“...”

"Huating County Ya."

As soon as the notice was issued, the people in the city applauded, this Zheng Qi was really "extremely evil", when the wind and cold came, he actually raised the price of medicine so high, and let the people of Huating County spend a lot of money to buy his Yinqiao pills.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no place to buy medicine, who would fall for him!

As for this wind chill cured so quickly, who cares about this?

In the eyes of these people, extorting a month's or two months of income is the most heinous thing in the world.

And Zheng Qi, helping this group of people save their lives, who cares about such a trivial matter?

The yamen said that ten days later, Zheng Qi, who deserved to die, would be beheaded, which was really a good thing.

The people were thinking that on Zheng Qi's execution platform, they would spit on him, pick a few of the most stinky rotten eggs, and throw them on his face, so that this Lang Zhong would have to be a little uncomfortable before he died!

Tell you to cheat me out of my money! You deserve it!

..

In the county jail.

Zheng Qi was lying in a corner of the prison, with a few tattered straw mats under him. A smell of rotten straw mats mixed with stinking sweat filled the cell.

Not far away, several rats, in the farthest corner, squeaked, warily looking at the newcomer in front of them.

Traces of blood flowed out of Zheng Qi's trouser legs like a trickle, soaking the straw mat under him, and mixing into a puddle of black water.

Zheng Qi was beaten fifty boards with the most ruthless force by the officials, and all the lower half of his body was unconscious, his flesh and blood bloomed, and the severe pain pierced into the bones, making Zheng Qi's consciousness come and go.

"Why! Why! Why! ”

"Last year, there were two or three hundred people in the city who died due to the cold!"

"At least a few thousand people died in Matsue Mansion due to the wind and cold!"

"I died of a cold this year..... Person.... One... None of them! ”

"Why...."

"In ten days, I'm going to be headed. What's the point of all this? ”

Zheng Qi's lower body gradually regained consciousness at this time, and the sharp stinging pain, like the rise and fall of the tide, stimulated his soul like a needle prick.

Zheng Qi seemed to have a feeling, this feeling was like someone holding a small steel brush, brushing off the only remaining tender meat on his bones little by little.

The pain of eroding bones, Zheng Qi, who was in pain, seemed to have hallucinations in his mind.

In a trance, a figure became clearer and clearer from Zheng Qi's mind.

Xu Yi.

The scene of the conversation with Xu Yi was played in a loop in Zheng Qi's mind over and over again.

..

"Do you think that if you help the people and cure the wind and cold, they will thank you?" Xu Yi asked.

"Healing the sick and saving people is in itself our responsibility. Besides, the people are human beings, and they will be grateful if others help them. Zheng Qi said.

"Langzhong, if one day, you hurt the people, and the people come to you for revenge, will they still remember that you were good to them?" Xu Yi said slowly, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

"How so? I, Zheng Qi, am a family of medicine, and I have always taken it as my responsibility to treat diseases and save people, so how can I go back and harm the people? ”

After Zheng Qi finished speaking, Xu Yi continued.

"What if the people think you have harmed them? Attention, what do the people think? ”

"Think?" Zheng Qi was stunned by Xu Yi's words for a moment.

"If I don't hurt people, how can people think I'm hurting them?" Zheng Qi was still puzzled.

"It doesn't matter if you harm others or not, what matters is what the people think..."

(The above is from Chapter 6, Xu Yi and Zheng Qi have a night talk.) ）

...

When this scene was repeated thousands of times in Zheng Qi's mind, Zheng Qi was already able to memorize these few words. Zheng Qi endured the pain and showed a bitter smile.

"It turns out .... Xu Yi. ”

"This bureau of yours has been laid out from the moment you see me."

"Original...... I'm just a pathetic little pawn. ”

Zheng Qi's bloodstained face had a bleak wry smile. With all his strength, he took out a silver pill wrapped in a paper shell from the waistband of his pants, which was hidden in an extremely deep pocket.

"Yinqiao Pill also has the effect of relaxing muscles and invigorating blood, but I don't know what the point of eating it is?"

"Rather than be beheaded in front of everyone, I might as well die in this rotten place."

Just when Zheng Qi wanted to give up, he suddenly saw that there seemed to be something on the paper shell of Yinqiao Pill.

There are a few words written on the paper shell, these words were specially added by Xu Yi, and all the paper shells of Yinqiao Pills have these words.

[No matter where you are, never give up]

"This sentence ....."

"Is that also to me?"

Zheng Qi looked at this sentence bitterly, and shed a few tears, and the tears wiped out two lines of blood on his face.

Without saying a word, Zheng Qi handed the Yinqiao Pill to his mouth and swallowed it.

"Xu Yi, I don't want my imagination to be fake, but even if I die, I will admit it."

"Why don't you protect my family and die for you?"

..

"Shopkeeper Bai, you're here."

When Director Liang saw Xu Yi coming, he couldn't help but feel happy.

No wonder it was said that the magpie was calling this morning, and it turned out that a noble person had come.

Xu Yi's order, Furui Qianzhuang can earn at least 100 silver, and Director Liang can also earn 80 taels.

Such a business is afraid that it will be a pie falling from the sky.

"Director Liang, our family's business settles quickly. No, the money was sent to you a month earlier. You can take a good look at the 480 taels of silver tickets. ”

Director Liang was naturally overjoyed when he saw Xu Yi repaying the loan early. If you pay it back a month early, it means that you can still lend the 480 taels for a month, and then you can earn dozens of taels of silver.

In this way, I have made a windfall of hundreds of taels of silver, and I have to say that this "white shopkeeper" is really the God of Wealth.

"No problem, shopkeeper Bai, I'll do it right away. Do you have any other commands? ”

Xu Yi hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.

"Our lord, if you want a receipt for payment, you need to remember clearly when you borrow 480 taels and when you repay them. Can you give it to me? ”

With a simple repayment voucher, Director Liang can naturally do it, and besides, this "white shopkeeper" is the God of Wealth, and everything is easy to say.

Without saying a word, the shopkeeper Liang went into the counter to settle the account and issue the bill, leaving Xu Yi, the God of Wealth, waiting in place, but Xu Yi looked at the direction of the shopkeeper Liang playfully, and seemed to have no deep meaning.

For Mr. Liang.

Is Xu Yi the God of Wealth? Or Lord Yama?

This is not necessarily.
