"The imperial court did not explicitly prohibit the people from discussing the affairs of the government, let alone interfering with the people to discuss the government's judgment of right and wrong."

Su Jiudong leaned at Wei Xianfu and asked indifferently: "Lord Wei is so domineering and alone, and the people are not allowed to talk about the actions of the government, is it possible that Lord Wei from the fourth rank is bigger than the imperial court?" ”

Su Jiudong mentioned the court, and Wei Xianfu immediately swore to the sky with his fists respectfully: "You don't have to be untrustworthy, I, Wei Xianfu, am ...... to the court and today's saints."

"Besides, what I mentioned is a major matter related to the people's livelihood related to disaster relief and relief, and it is not a secretive military secret, why don't you allow me to talk about it, Lord Wei?" Su Jiudong interrupted Wei Xianfu's "show of loyalty" and continued to speak out to chase and intercept him.

"When the minister was still in Quzhou, the holy sanzi was distributed to the people for free. As soon as the minister left, the Quzhou government immediately changed the free distribution to a high-priced sale, which had to make me doubt the actions and intentions of the Quzhou government. ”

Su Jiudong pointed out the inconsistent practices of the Quzhou government on the surface, and stared at Wei Xianfu with deep cold eyes, Wei Xianfu was so angry that he jumped to his feet as if he was hit by a blow, and there was nothing to hide for a while.

"The government's approach has its own intentions, and it's not your turn to point fingers!" Wei Xianfu threw down the gift in his hand, glared at Su Jiudong fiercely, then looked at Wen Yiheng, and then left angrily.

Su Jiudong didn't expect Wei Xianfu to be angry so easily, and he was a little surprised for a while, and turned worried about Wen Yiheng: "If I get angry with him like this, will he secretly give you a loop?" ”

Although Wei Xianfu had an honest face that was born aggrieved, but he was a person with a small belly, Su Jiudong was afraid that Wei Xianfu would be angry, and Wei Xianfu would secretly rectify Wen Yiheng.

"Don't worry, he won't ...... I have Wen Xiang's backing, he doesn't dare. Wen Yiheng jokingly dispelled Su Jiudong's worries.

Wei Xianfu's anger did not stop the pace of the opening of Connaught Place. Under the operation of Wen Yiheng, the manpower, the number of medicinal materials and the required things were all prepared, and the recreation workshop, which attracted the attention of the Quzhou elite, was finally successfully opened.

Because it was a plague period, the shopkeeper Chen of the Connaught came forward to announce that all the patients who came to the Connaught for medical consultation would not take a penny, and would even send Shengsanzi to the sick people of Quzhou for free.

As soon as this move came out, the people of Quzhou were in an uproar.

There are many and expensive medicinal materials of Shengsanzi, and it costs a lot of silver taels to catch the medicine in a real way.

Even the Quzhou government officials, who are parents, chose to go to the path of selling the holy sanzi at a high price to the people, but the Kangle Fang that appeared out of thin air distributed the holy sanzi to the people for free, which can be described as the benevolence of the doctor.

This generous act of kindness attracted all the sick people in the surrounding villages to Quzhou County, and they all ran to the Kangle Workshop to receive the life-saving Shengsanzi.

At first, the people of Quzhou County were slightly dissatisfied with this, thinking that Kanglefang's move had led all the sick people who were equivalent to walking the virus reservoir to the county town, and they were afraid that it would cause panic.

However, as more sick people received the holy sanzi that could cure the disease, many patients gradually improved, and the spread of the disease was effectively controlled, and the discontent of the people at the beginning was annihilated.

Wen Yiheng deliberately chose the address of Connaught Square on the opposite corner of the main street of the Quzhou Mansion.

Since the first day of the opening of the Connaught Place, Wen Yiheng and Su Jiudong have been busy in the Recreation Place. Wei Xianfu went to work every day, and he could see Wen Yiheng helping to distribute the holy sanzi in the recreation workshop.

On this day, Wei Xianfu only went to work at the government office as usual, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Wen Yiheng talking to several well-dressed people in the recreation workshop.

Compared with the courtyard of Kangle Fang, which distributes Shengsanzi, the stalls set up in front of the Yamen of Quzhou Mansion and sold Shengsanzi by the government are very deserted, and the door is crowded.

Wei Xianfu walked to the stall and asked the official on duty today: "How?" How many saints were sold this morning? ”

The official replied bitterly: "My lord, don't laugh, since the opening of this recreation workshop has given free distribution to the people, no one has come to our official mansion to buy the holy sanzi." ”

Wei Xianfu stepped forward and pulled dozens of bags of Shengsanzi on the stall, and complained unhappily: "There are still so many that have not been sold, but this medicine was caught with a lot of silver, and if it can't be sold, won't it rot here?" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, there are not many saints left in the palace, and a big merchant bought out our inventory a few days ago. Sold this amount..."Master Wu compared the number with his finger to Wei Xianfu, and Wei Xianfu nodded with satisfaction.

"The people are happy to get free things. Now there are Shengsanzi who don't need money to be white-collar, so naturally they disdain to buy the Shengsanzi that we can only get by paying money. The official continued to complain, blaming everything on the head of the recreation square.

"Master Wei, tell me what kind of road this recreation workshop is?" Master Wu fanned the flames in Wei Xianfu's ear and said: "They distribute the holy sanzi for free, isn't this a clear confrontation with our county government?" ”

"Hmph, this is all a bad idea from that woman named Su Jiudong, who was able to win over Wen Yiheng to find someone to raise money for her, open a recreation workshop, and cut off our financial routes." Love Book House

Wei Xianfu glared at the signboard of Kangle Fang viciously, remembering that he had only met Su Jiudong once in the Qincha Xingyuan before, and he was blocked by her speechless, Wei Xianfu was so angry that sparks appeared in his eyes.

"To cut off people's wealth is to seek wealth and kill people." Master Wu of the Mansion instigated Wei Xianfu on the side and said, "Lord Wei, I think Wen Yiheng deliberately teamed up with that Su Jiudong to deal with you..."

"Deal with me?" Wei Xianfu was puzzled: "I didn't recruit him and didn't provoke him, what did he do to use me to cut down?" ”

Master Wu reminded: "My lord, have you forgotten? That Wen Yiheng approached the government several times to urge him to raise money to buy medicine, but he returned again and again in vain. Your Excellency, you have not let go, he has come to the door many times in vain, don't you hold a grudge......"

"I am an official from Sipinzhou County who was promoted by the imperial court, and he is a small member of the imperial envoy, where is he qualified to instruct me to do this and that?" Wei Xianfu said disappreciatively: "You want me to follow his instructions to do things, it's really whimsical!" ”

"Wen Yiheng is said to be related to Wen Xiang in the court, and with the support of Wen Xiang behind him, he opened this recreation workshop to fight with our government office."

"We sold the Holy Sanzi, and he deliberately distributed them for free, which is obviously deliberately against you, my lord." The more Master Wu spoke, the more energetic he became, and when it came to the emotional place, the spittle stars flew sideways.

"I think because of the warmth, the adults can't do anything to him, so he is looking for unhappiness for the adults. We can't beat him, scold him, and punish him, what do you think we can do......

Wei Xianfu's eyes rolled, and he set his eyes on Su Jiudong, who was busy in the recreation workshop, and snickered: "I can't punish Wen Yiheng, can't I punish the little Su Jiudong... I can make her regret opening this place now. ”

"My lord, are you going to make a move on Su Jiudong?" Master Wu had other plans in his heart, and said to stop him: "Your Excellency, you might as well wait until their Holy Scatter is almost finished before coming out." ”

"Why? Do you have to wait? The sooner the Connaught closes, the sooner we can sell the Sacred Scatter and make more money. ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, wait until the Connaught has finished distributing the Holy Sanzi, and then the plague is almost over, and then let the Connaught close its doors. In this way, we can not only save the silver and silver of the formula to catch the medicine, but also deal with the imperial court. ”

"Hmph, isn't it still cheap during this time, Su Jiudong and Kangle Fang......" Wei Xianfu spat fiercely, and his eyes continued to lock on the long queue in front of Kangle Fang to receive the Holy Sanzi.

Wei Xianfu was searching his stomach and thinking about how to deal with Su Jiudong and Kangle Fang, when Su Jiudong happened to come out of Kang Le Fang, she was carrying a basket full of holy sanzi in her hand, and it seemed that she was going out.

Su Jiudong noticed that someone was staring at him, and when he turned around, he saw Wei Xianfu and the master and others gathered outside the yamen of Quzhou Mansion, and several people were staring at her in unison, like a hungry wolf staring at the lone lamb.

Su Jiudong's body couldn't help but shudder, and he turned around and glanced deeply at Lan Menghan, who was holding a sword and following her outside the recreation workshop, "Miss Menghan, I'm worried that someone will be unfavorable to me recently." ”

Wen Yiheng has been busy in the recreation workshop during the day recently, and he is secretly investigating the affairs of the Quzhou government at night, Su Jiudong is worried that Wen Yiheng is too tired, so he ordered Wen Yiheng to stay in the Qincha Xingyuan to rest, and is not allowed to come to the recreation workshop again.

Wen Yiheng couldn't stay at Kangle Fang at any time, and Lan Menghan continued to guard Su Jiudong's safety.

Lan Menghan also noticed the gaze of Wei Xianfu and a group of people, and agreed casually: "Miss Su, don't worry, these little minions can't make it to the climate." ”

It's more than enough to beat them. Lan Menghan said secretly in his heart.

With Lan Menghan's guarantee, Su Jiudong was able to go out with peace of mind every day, and go to the nearby infected villages to distribute holy sanzi to the sick people who were too sick to travel.

Compared with the government's act of selling Shengsanzi to the people to collect money, Kanglefang's reputation in Quzhou County has gradually increased, and along with it, there are also dissatisfied remarks from the people complaining that the Quzhou government sells Shengsanzi.

Wei Xianfu noticed that when he went out on the street recently, the eyes of the people passing by were becoming more and more unkind, and he immediately decided not to wait for the end of the epidemic, but just wanted to deal with Su Jiudong and Kangle Fang as soon as possible.

In the late summer of August, the sun is shining.

Wei Xianfu, who went to work on time every day, immediately dispatched officers and soldiers to surround the front and back doors of Kangle Fang under the scorching sun under the increasingly hot sun.

The crowd waiting in front of the Kangle Square to receive the free Shengsanzi was dispersed by the officers and soldiers, and the gate was guarded by officials and was not allowed to enter or leave.

Wei Xianfu strode into the Recreation Workshop, stopped the doctor who was sitting in the hall for consultation, blasted away the people who were diagnosing the disease, and squeezed the shopkeeper Chen and the account room out of the counter, and all the hands in the Recreation Workshop were tied with ropes and knelt in front of Wei Xianfu in a row.

The distribution of holy sanzi was temporarily stopped, and the Kangle Fang was forcibly closed by the government, causing discontent among the people of Quzhou.

There was a crowd of people outside the Connaught Square, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.
