Chapter 263: Goodbye Ximenqing
PS: At this time, at ten o'clock in the evening, I just came back from overtime and sent the chapters that I had taken time to write during the day and had not yet checked. I'm thinking about changing jobs, I'm too tired to work overtime almost every day, is this the case with you?
When Zhou Xiaocao turned his head to look, another person came out of the door where the shopkeeper walked out just now. This person is not very old, dressed in a slanted robe, with a green hairpin on his head, it is Ximenqing, who has not seen him for many years. This kid is in the stage of voice change now, and it sounds a little weird.
As soon as he walked out, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy immediately took a back seat and let Ximenqing in front of Zhou Xiaocao and the others. It seems that the power behind this Hejitang pharmacy is Cangzhou Ximen Mansion.
However, for Zhou Xiaocao, no matter what kind of power you have behind you, as long as it hurts him, you have to pay a price, a big price. What's more, it's still a family that betrays its own power! It can be said that there is an emperor standing behind him, and Zhou Xiaocao is not afraid of anyone!
Looking coldly at Ximen Qing, who had grown into a half-adult in front of him, Zhou Xiaocao said: "You are out of luck now, even the forbidden army dares to calculate, aren't you afraid that those old men in the military department will be angry?" ”
The corner of Ximenqing's mouth sneered, and said: "Mr. Zhou, you can't talk nonsense like this, our medicinal materials were sold to the forbidden army at half the price, which shows the love of my Ximen Mansion for the officers and soldiers." As for the fact that after you bought the medicine, you did not keep it properly, which caused the medicinal materials to be contaminated and the wounds of the officers and soldiers worsened, but we should not be planted on our heads. Today, so many people in Xingyang are watching here. What is the quality of the medicinal materials of Jitang and me, you don't count. I don't count what I said, the eyes of the people. is the most accurate. ”
As soon as his words landed, there were immediately some old customers who often bought medicinal materials in Hejitang: "That's right, Hejitang's medicinal materials, there is no problem, I have been buying medicine here for so many years." ”
"Yes, yes, this official, you can't plant a false accusation indiscriminately! This Hejitang is not only the largest pharmacy in Xingyang, but also the pharmacy with the best reputation! In a year of famine, they also gave porridge with medicine. Saved a lot of people! How could such a good family do something to harm the officers and soldiers? You can't be mistaken, can you? ”
Hearing these words, the sneer at the corner of Ximenqing's mouth became more and more fierce. Now, no matter what Zhou Xiaocao said, as long as he insisted that those contaminated medicinal materials were all caused by the poor storage of the forbidden army, no one could say anything. After all, Hejitang has been well-known in Xingyang for so many years. Credibility is not covered either.
Zhou Xiaocao also understands this truth. So he didn't say any more. This dumb loss, he can only swallow it. But. With Zhou Xiaocao's character, he would not take such a hard loss and take no action. Now. In his heart, he was thinking about how to teach the Simon family a lesson.
Wang Rui saw the people of Hejitang talking like this. almost blew up his lungs, and said loudly: "Okay, you Hejitang!" Actually made a bet on the credibility of the years. Trap thousands of forbidden soldiers! General Zhou, today, let Wang slaughter these two big and small minions of heaven killing! Afterwards, this matter will be borne by the last general, and the general will definitely not be implicated! ”
As he spoke, Wang Rui took out the saber on his waist, and was about to jump over the long counter, rushing in and chopping Ximen Qing and the shopkeeper with a knife.
Seeing that this fierce and vicious person was about to rush in and make a move, Ximen Qing and the shopkeeper were also afraid. After all, Wang Rui is a person who has been baptized by blood and fire on the battlefield, and once the murderous aura on his body is exposed, it will definitely be able to scare ordinary people into trembling.
At this moment, Ximen Qing is like this, he is also sifting chaff all over his body, he will not doubt at all that once this person gets Zhou Xiaocao's tacit consent, he will immediately slaughter himself, without the slightest hesitation. How can the murderous aura accumulated on the battlefield be able to withstand by ordinary people?
Ximenqing stretched out his trembling right hand, pointed at Wang Rui and said, "What do you want to do?" Do you dare to kill people in public in broad daylight? ”
"General Wang, stop!"
Zhou Xiaocao shouted violently and stopped Wang Rui, who was about to rush over to kill with red eyes. Wang Rui's eyes were red, those forbidden soldiers were all his own robed brothers! Looking at the pain these people suffered because of these two guys who were stabbed with a thousand knives, he really wanted to kill these two people directly: "General Zhou, you just let the last general kill them, these two damn beasts, how can you spare so many of our soldiers?" ”
Zhou Xiaocao closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "This child is my former student. As the saying goes, a teacher for one day and a father for life, although he is not benevolent, but I can't ignore this master-apprentice friendship! Forget it, let's go back. ”
Wang Rui pointed at Ximenqing and said, "General, since he is unkind, our injustice is also justified!" Let the Admiral kill them! ”
"Smack!"
A slap was thrown on Wang Rui's face, and Zhou Xiaocao said with red eyes: "I said, you can't kill, are you deaf!" ”
Wang Rui covered his hot left cheek and looked at Zhou Xiaocao's eyes, full of disbelief: "General, you! The general is benevolent, this is a good thing! However, it also depends on who it is! What kind of righteousness and morality do such treacherous and innocent people tell them? Wouldn't it be nice to kill with a knife? The eldest husband lives a lifetime, and he pays attention to happiness and revenge, how can he be swayed by the kindness of a woman! ”
Zhou Xiaocao waved his hand and said weakly: "Let's go, after all, I used to be his master." Kill him, I can't do it. ”
As he spoke, he walked out of the door of the Heji Hall first. Wang Rui stomped his foot, glared at Ximenqing fiercely, and turned to leave. The old doctor who was brought by Zhou Xiaocao also shook his head and sighed and left.
Behind him, there was Ximen Qing's unique male duck voice, and there was a cruel smile in his voice: "Zhou Xiaocao!" You are a hypocrisy, and you will suffer greatly in the future! The big husband lives for a lifetime, when he can afford to let go, people like you who can't let go are destined to end miserably, haha! ”
Zhou Xiaocao noticed that Wang Rui beside him clenched his fists, and his body was trembling. He was so angry. The Lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the Lord is humiliated by the death of the ministers. Zhou Xiaocao is now his top boss, and his top boss has been wantonly insulted by others, which is really more uncomfortable than killing him.
The old doctor sighed and said, "General, it's all the blame for the dereliction of duty of the old decay and other dereliction of duty, and the old decay of those deteriorated medicinal materials are sorry for the soldiers!" ”
Zhou Xiaocao said: "The old doctor doesn't have to say that. Thinking of the great reputation of Hejitang, who would have expected them to come to such a show? Let's stop here. When I turned around, I bought some medicinal herbs from other pharmacies and did my best to heal the wounds of the soldiers. ”
The old doctor frowned and said, "Okay, go back and convey the general's meaning." The old man hereby promises that within ten days, the injuries of the soldiers will be unhindered! ”
Zhou Xiaocao stretched out three fingers: "Three days, I only have three days!" Within three days, the soldiers must be able to travel long distances! I can wait, but the emperor can't wait, and the court can't wait! ”
Thinking of Liu Mingli in the capital and his difficulties, Zhou Xiaocao couldn't wait to immediately airlift the silver over to solve the urgent needs of the imperial court. Now, Zhou Xiaocao has finally found a little bit of the feeling of being an official, the feeling of caring for the court and observing the people is really worrying.
Is it really that difficult to be a clean official? Zhou Xiaocao thought secretly in her heart.
The old doctor said: "In three days, the injury did not completely heal. It's just that if you travel by car, there is no problem. ”
Zhou Xiaocao said: "Okay, go back and find some carriages, load the injured brothers into the carriages, and in three days, we will set off to the capital to show our merits to the emperor!" ”
After going back, General Wang Rui told him what happened today, and the soldiers of the forbidden army were all excited, and they all wanted to rush to the Raushzi and Jitang and slaughter the two bastards.
A soldier came over and said, "General Wang, General Zhou has something to discuss with you." ”
"Okay, I'll go."
Wang Rui nodded and went straight to Zhou Xiaocao's room. There, the four charms of Begonia were already standing by Zhou Xiaocao's side in a strong suit.
After coming in, Wang Rui asked, "General, what's the matter with finding the last general?" ”
Zhou Xiaocao smiled: "General Wang, you don't really think that I will let that guy go, right?" ”
Wang Rui's eyes suddenly lit up: "What does the general mean" (to be continued......
