Volume 1 * Shengming Society Chapter 15 * Wisdom Breaks the Blame
As the people of Xiacheng District became more and more affluent, shopping malls such as restaurants, teahouses, music houses, brothels and gambling halls in the city also opened one after another, and at the same time, many wealthy people lived here, and it was a thriving scene.
Although the people did not know that all this was due to the Shengming Society, they were also full of joy that the Shengming Society gave medicine here, saving them the money to see a doctor and buy medicine.
On this day, the weather was clear, the sky was clear, and he learned that the people of Xiacheng City had begun to have a good impression of the Shengming Society, and heard that the city had returned to the prosperous period of the past, Changyu was very relieved, his body that had been sick for a long time looked much stronger today.
"Shen Zhong, why don't you go to the city with me today?" Changyu said with a smile.
"Head of the family, without Dr. Zhong's consent, I don't dare to make my own decisions."
Shen Zhong is the most well-behaved in this alliance, how Dr. Zhong explains, he will do it, and when he answers like this, Changyu doesn't know how to answer.
"I said you, you don't know how to be flexible, you know that it's not good to explain to Dr. Zhong, aren't you afraid of my punishment?" Changyu looked at him and said to him politely.
"I'd rather be punished by the head of my house than see your body sinned."
Shen Zhong still refused this seriously, at this time Changyu's face was slightly angry, he took a short rest, took a deep breath, and said: "You all know the purpose of my coming to Jingzhou, if I don't personally go to investigate the people's situation and understand the people's righteousness, in case something happens in the city, I won't be able to deal with it, besides, Dr. Zhong is in the city, there will be no problems with my body." ”
With Changyu's eloquence, Shen Zhong naturally couldn't refute it, Shen Zhong thought to himself: If this matter of understanding the people's feelings and righteousness is handed over to Shen Cheng and him, it will not be understood thoroughly by the head of the family, so naturally it is most appropriate for the head of the family to come forward; Thinking of this, Shen Zhong didn't stop him, and immediately went to prepare a carriage and took Changyu to the city.
Changyu's carriage slowly came to the gate of the city, Changyu lifted the curtain and asked, "Is it so soon?" ”
"Yes, my lord, we have reached the gate of the city, and I will lead you into the city with my horse."
"No, if you say that you want to inspect the people's situation, how can you stay in the carriage and walk, I have to walk myself."
When Shen Cheng heard Changyu's answer, he quickly dismounted, put the carriage bench, lifted the curtain, helped Changyu to get off the carriage slowly, and then tied the carriage to the pillar of the small teahouse on the side, and let the boss take care of it.
Changyu looked up at the three big characters 'Zuijiang City' at the gate of the city for a long time, and sighed: "Presumably here, it was once prosperous, and the names are so poetic." ”
Speaking of this Jingzhou, Shangcheng District is 'Rain Twin City', Xiacheng District is 'Zuijiang City', once this 'Zuijiang City' was the richest place in Jingzhou, and later due to years of war, coupled with gang oppression, the government levied miscellaneous taxes, and local bullies oppressed, making the people miserable.
Shen Zhong is a person who practices martial arts, he doesn't understand these, so he can't answer, so he can only wait for Changyu to sigh, and help him slowly walk inside, this city gate is South Street, watching people come and go is very lively, the most famous South Street, presumably it is the Yanyu Building that has only opened in recent months, the dishes here are not only delicious, but also the service is very thoughtful, meal time, you can listen to a song for free.
Shen Zhong walked forward with Changyu's footsteps, and soon, he came to North Street, a stall that can be seen everywhere, a vendor shouting rock sugar gourd, Changyu looked at the scene at this time, his face was happy, and his heart was warm.
"Head of the family, further on, there is our medical hall." Shen Zhong reminded him gesturely.
"Okay, since we're here, let's go over and have a look."
Shen Zhong helped Chang Yu to walk towards the medical hall, and before he arrived at the medical hall, not far away, he saw many people surrounding the entrance of the medical hall, and Chang Yu couldn't help asking, "Are the medical halls usually so busy?" ”
"No, although there were more patients when it first opened, there are not so many people recently, and this is the first time I have seen it." Shen Zhong thought about it and said carefully.
After thinking for a moment, Changyu said to himself: That may be an accident; So he quickened his pace, rushed over, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Shen Cheng arguing with a person who seemed to be a common person over there, which probably meant that the people he was holding used Jingzhou Ji Shitang's medicine, which led to poisoning, and now he is still unconscious, saying that Jingzhou Ji Shitang deceived the world and stole his name and used fake medicine to harm people.
Changyu squeezed into the crowd unhurriedly, and when he walked past the person who looked like a common person, he smelled a strange smell, Shen Cheng saw that the head of the house was coming, so he stepped forward and saluted, Changyu stretched out his hand to signal that he was exempt.
"Folks, please rest assured, our Jingzhou Jishitang will never use fake medicine to harm people." Changyu walked to the door of the store, faced the people, and said loudly.
"Who are you? If you say no, you don't. The man retorted.
"In Xia Bucai, it is the owner of this medical hall and the head of the Shengming Society-Zhuge Changyu." Changyu saluted the people and said.
The people were very surprised, and they all discussed, how could the head of the Shengming Society be a weak scholar, and it seemed that he was still sick for a long time, such a person was willing to open a medical hall to treat them and give them medicine, it was really rare, Changyu said this, and the people felt sympathy.
"Don't be deceived by his appearance, maybe he is pretending to be weak and sick to win your sympathy, and secretly uses fake medicine to harm you." The man frantically bit the medical hall and Changyu.
"Okay, this friend, since you said that my hospital uses fake drugs to harm people, can you please describe how we hurt people?" Changyu said patiently.
"Yesterday, my friend and I were playing in the bazaar, my friend suddenly fainted halfway, I heard that Jingzhou Ji Shitang did not charge a penny for seeing a doctor and taking medicine, so he came here to see a doctor, the doctor was very careful to see a doctor, said that my friend was suffering from heat stroke, and gave us some purslane, saying that it was boiled into soup, and it would be good after taking it, but who would have thought...."
In the middle of his words, the man pretended to cry, choked up for a long time and continued: "But who would have thought that my friend's symptoms not only did not improve, but became more serious, so I took the remaining herbs last night and went to other medical centers to ask, and the owner of the medical center said that this was purslane, which was very similar to purslane, but it was poisonous, and I was startled at that time; Folks, do you think this medical hall is deceiving the world? ”
"Then how do you prove that we are seeing a doctor in the hospital?" Changyu looked at it carefully.
"These people can prove that we are strangers, and we don't know the way, so we just inquired on the street before we found your hospital."
"Oh, and what proof do you have that we have purslane in our pharmacy."
Changyu seemed to have discovered something from what he said, and deliberately guided him, the man looked very happy, and felt that he was very smart, and he knew that you were going to ask, so he put his so-called friend aside, and found purslane from so many purslane herbs at a glance, these two herbs are really very similar, if you don't identify them carefully, it's really easy to make mistakes.
The man held up the herb and said, "Folks, look, the evidence is here, and you have to make decisions for us." ”
Changyu looked at the man's excited appearance, and he had already fallen for his plan, so he smiled and said, "I know who the poisoner is." ”
"Isn't it your medical hall, you're still suspicious." The man affirmed.
"That person is you." Changyu stared at him with sharp eyes.
"You... You talk nonsense, don't wronged good people... What evidence do you have? When the man heard Changyu say this, his heart began to get nervous.
"You want evidence, and it's in your hands."
"This.... Isn't that what I just found in your herb blue, how did it become my evidence? ”
"I know you won't give up, then let me tell you, first of all, when I passed by you, I found a strange smell, I didn't know what it was before, as soon as I arrived at the store, I knew that it was a medicinal smell, how could an ordinary person have such a taste, unless you often have to touch medicinal herbs, then you are not the owner of the medical hall or pharmacy, or the guy of the medical hall or pharmacy." Changyu analyzed at this time, looked at the person again, and saw that the person's face began to turn white, and sweat broke out on his head, and then continued to analyze: "You have been pursuing the morality of our medical center, and you don't care about the life or death of the poisoned friend around you, which means that he is not your friend, and second, it shows that you know quite well about the medicinal properties of this purslane, and you will not kill this poisoned people, so it is more certain of my previous inference, you are not the owner of the medical hall or pharmacy, or the guy of the medical center or pharmacy." ”
"That.... That doesn't prove that I poisoned it. The man was frightened, from his original tough attitude to his current outright denial.
"Don't admit it yet, okay, you already knew that he was poisoned yesterday, why didn't you come yesterday, and come back this morning, I believe you may have any reason, but I am sure, you know when our medical hall began to buy medicinal materials, you must have seen the people selling medicinal materials early, and while he was not paying attention, he mixed purslane into the purslane, as for you to come to our medical center at this point, because, first, our doctor Zhong has not had time to sort out the new medicinal herbs, If Dr. Zhong found out that there was purslane, he would definitely dispose of it in the morning, and secondly, in the morning, the market was the most lively time, and you wanted all the people to know about it; Just because you put this purslane, you can find the herbal blue that put the purslane at a glance from so many herbal blues, I don't think I need to ask Dr. Zhong to call the people who sell medicinal herbs to prove it. Changyu coughed a few times, then looked at the man and said, "As for you pretending to ask us where the medical center is in the crowd, I just want the people to be sure that you really brought this person to my medical center yesterday; Also, I think you replaced the herbs in the man's hand while he was still unconscious. ”
When that person heard this, he was already speechless with fear, and his whole body trembled with nervousness, thinking about how his actions and plans were all in the hands of Zhuge Changyu, as if Zhuge Changyu was next to him when he did this.
Suddenly, one of the people said, "I remember that yesterday the man fainted on the side of the road, and he ran to pick him up." ”
Seeing that the matter was revealed, the man turned around and ran, Shen Cheng jumped lightly, and the sword was on the man's neck.
"Shen Cheng, forget it, let him go, I think he is also forced to do it, we first arrived in Xiacheng District, and we didn't expect Xiacheng District to develop so fast, so it is inevitable that the interests of our peers will be inadvertently damaged by the medical treatment and medicine that have been given away from medicine." Changyu thought for a moment, and said to the people and the man: "In this way, we Jingzhou Ji Shitang are still the same as usual for ordinary people, and we don't take a penny for medical treatment, but we treat rich people and dignitaries, and we charge fees according to the market price, do you think it's okay?" ”
The people cheered happily and said hello in unison, and then Shen Cheng and Shen Zhong helped the poisoned people into the hospital hall for treatment.
When the people left, they were spreading the word about the wisdom and friendliness of the head of the Simian Society, and they spread the word about what happened today.
When he went back, Shen Cheng was puzzled and asked, "Family master, why don't we report to the official?" ”
"This time, we didn't think things through first, and secondly, that person is not the mastermind."
"Ah, is there someone else in the mastermind?"
"You think, the practice of our medical center directly impacts the interests of the owners of other medical centers or pharmacies, if that person is the owner of the medical center or pharmacy, then the neighbors will recognize it at a glance, then why don't the people recognize it, then I guess, he must be a medicine drying guy in a medical center or pharmacy, drying medicine in the backyard all the year round, and it is reasonable that the people don't know him." Changyu taught Shen Cheng another good lesson.
"It's still the head of the house who can see it through."
