Chapter 518: Convincing the Officials
Zhao Wu took out the prescription in his arms and put it on the counter, and said hurriedly: "Shopkeeper, I want to grab these few medicines, please put everything you have in your store for me." ”
There were a lot of people in the city who were sick with the disease, and a lot of medicinal herbs were needed. As soon as the shopkeeper heard him say this, he knew that he was a big customer, and quickly picked up the prescription and looked at it.
It's just that after reading it, he was a little embarrassed and said: "This uncle, we have all these medicines you want in the store, and there is a lot of inventory, but this flavor of angelica, which was used up a few days ago, has not been restocked again, and there is only half a catty left in the store, I'm afraid..."
He has so many other medicinal materials, and only half a catty of angelica is naturally not enough.
Seeing Zhao Wu's solemn face, the shopkeeper hurriedly comforted: "Uncle, if you are not in a hurry, this batch of angelica will be delivered in the evening, why don't you wait?" ”
"No, I can't wait." Zhao Wu's face was a little anxious, and the shopkeeper didn't say anything when he heard that he was in a hurry, Zhao Wu pondered for a moment, and then said: "You help me pack everything else first, and I'll go to another store to buy it." As he spoke, he took out a bag of silver from his pocket: "This is the deposit, I will come back later." ”
The shopkeeper replied again and again, and saw that the customer left quickly. He didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly called someone to move all the medicinal materials in the warehouse out and load them into the truck.
Zhao Wu ran a few pharmacies in a row, but he didn't expect that there were no angelica in these stores.
"This angelica is relatively rare, and there are not many people who usually buy it all year round, so naturally there is less inventory, not only our family, but I am afraid that there is no pharmacy in the whole city that has the amount you want." A shopkeeper saw him in a hurry and couldn't help but remind.
These words made Zhao Wu's heart sink, and his face became solemn.
"But I'm going to save people with this medicine." Zhao Wu was a little worried: "Forget it, I'll go to other pharmacies to buy some and see if it's enough." ”
He was about to walk out, but was stopped by the shopkeeper: "This customer, you said that you bought this medicine to save people?" ”
"Hmm." Zhao Wu didn't know what he meant, and looked at him suspiciously.
"But for the plague outside the city?"
"How do you know?" Zhao Wu was a little surprised.
"As soon as you came, you asked for so many medicinal herbs, and there must be a large number of sick people, and if you think about it, I am afraid that there will only be epidemics outside the city." The shopkeeper explained.
But Zhao Wu's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he thought to himself: This person is thoughtful, and he knows his intentions, will it be a bad thing?
The shopkeeper saw his hesitation and hostility, and hurriedly explained: "This customer, I don't mean anything else when I say this, it's just that I am also paying attention to the epidemic outside the city, and I am a little worried, since you are here to treat the epidemic, I will introduce you to a place, there will definitely be enough medicinal herbs there." ”
Zhao Wuyi raised his eyebrows, obviously a little surprised: "I didn't expect that there are still people who are also concerned about the epidemic." I see that those people are locked up in the city, and no one cares about them, and they think that everyone in this world has a cold face and a cold heart, and no one cares about the life or death of others. ”
The shopkeeper smiled without saying a word, handed him a note with an address written on it, Zhao Wu solemnly took the note, and then bowed deeply to the shopkeeper: "Thank you shopkeeper, I thank you for all the people who are sick!" ”
"You are so polite, you are the one who does good deeds, and you deserve respect!" The shopkeeper also returned the salute.
Zhao Wu smiled, followed the address on the note, and sure enough, he bought enough medicinal materials. When he came back after buying angelica, he saw that other medicinal herbs had also been prepared. He breathed a sigh of relief and set out on his return journey with this batch of medicinal herbs.
At this time, Shen Lanyue on the other side was on the way to the yamen, and she had to persuade the official master to open the city gate in time.
Along the way, Shen Lanyue saw many dead and alive people who were tortured by the plague on the side of the street, most of them were old people in their seventies and eighties, because of the erosion of the years, their bodies had long since run out of oil and dried up.
Although they did not get the plague, these old people were already weak and could not afford to toss.
At this time, the scene is diametrically opposed to the usual lively scene of all kinds of small vendors on the side of the street, as well as people coming and going on weekdays.
If she didn't hurry up and make an antidote, I was afraid that many of the people in Ping'an County would die in this plague, and even this place might become a dead city, which was not what she wanted to see, and she quickened her pace when she thought of this.
Shen Lanyue soon arrived at the Yamen Mansion, she held the copper ring in the lion's mouth on the door with her index finger slightly bent and knocked lightly.
Soon someone heard the sound and opened the door.
The man looked at her, and Shen Lanyue didn't feel annoyed, and accepted his scrutiny generously.
Maybe that person saw that Shen Lanyue was not dressed like an ordinary local, so he came out and asked, "This girl, what are you doing here at Yamen?" ”
"I'm looking for you lord."
When the man heard this, his face was instantly impatient, I don't know how many people have come to ask the official master to save them in the past few days, but the official master has no countermeasures to solve this matter at all, and he has been busy all day because of this matter.
How could he have time to deal with these people, so he had already ordered them not to let people in at will, and he didn't have time to care about those trivial things.
"Go, go, the official is busy, I don't have time to see you."
As she spoke, she was about to close the door, Shen Lanyue quickly pressed her hand against the door, looked at him sharply, her delicate little face was full of coldness, and she said unhappily, "I have an antidote to this plague, take me to the official master now." ”
When the man heard what she said, he looked incredulous, and said in a mocking tone, "It's up to you? Why should I trust you? ”
At this time, Shen Lanyue was really worn out to the point that she had no patience at all.
She pushed her hand hard, and her figure flashed through the door, so fast that no one else could react.
She walked straight inside, the man came back to his senses and wanted to stop her, but at this time, Shen Lanyue had already arrived at the office of the official master.
He hurriedly caught up and looked nervously at the official sitting at the desk, "My lord, this girl wants to see you, and the little one can't stop her." ”
The official looked a little impatient, but he didn't say anything, just waved his hand and motioned for him to go down.
The man wiped his sweat and immediately withdrew.
The official man put down the bamboo slip in his hand, looked at her and said lightly, "What are you looking for this official?" ”
Shen Lanyue bowed slightly to him, after all, her behavior just now was indeed inappropriate.
"It's so that the folk girl said bluntly, the antidote to the plague has been developed, but she needs your help."
When the official heard this, his expression was a little excited, "What you said is true?" ”
"Naturally, as long as you open the city gate and let the medicinal herbs into the city, you can solve this plague."
At this time, the official master was a little hesitant, he couldn't guarantee what would happen if he opened the city gate at this time. If something happens, he won't be able to control it.
Shen Lanyue saw that he was still hesitant, so she said to dispel his hesitation, "You only need to open the city gate to cure the plague, and then you will be promoted." ”
Hearing this, the official hesitated and agreed.
