However, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. If they don't give money, they will be paralyzed for seven days. In order to make themselves feel better, Liang Zhao and the others still resigned themselves to taking out the silver ticket, and exchanged the antidote to the soft meridian with Yan Xi.

After taking the antidote, Liang Zhao and the others each found a reason to leave. In the city lord's mansion, only Yan Xi and Xiao Zhihan were left.

"What do you want so much money for?"

Xiao Zhihan held Yan Xi in his arms, and asked in a low voice in Yan Xi's ear while keeping it warm.

"You're so poor, if I don't want to make money, will I follow you to drink the northwest wind in the future?"

Yan Xi glanced at Xiao Zhihan, took out the piece of Heavenly Xuanyu taken out of the medicine warehouse in the Medicine King Valley from his arms, and tied it to Xiao Zhihan's waist.

When Xiao Zhihan heard Yan Xi's words, his face turned dark, and he bit Yan Xi's ear without hesitation.

"Xiao Zhihan, are you a dog?"

Yan Xi was in pain and glared at Xiao Zhihan, but Xiao Zhihan was held in his arms and kissed her lips fiercely.

Yang Shen and Feiying acted to collect the medicinal materials, but the collected medicinal materials were not enough at all. Seeing that the medicine shop was about to run out of medicine again, General Yang, who had learned the previous riot, immediately came to find Xiao Zhihan.

"Have you expropriated all the pharmacies in the city?"

When Yang Shen came, Yan Xi happened to be in Xiao Zhihan's room, and when he heard Yang Shen say this, he immediately frowned.

Since the outbreak of the plague in Pingcheng, only the medicinal materials hoarded by the pharmacy in the quarantine area have been supported for a long time. Although the other pharmacies in the city are not as big as the one in the quarantine area, all the pharmacies combined, they definitely have a lot of medicinal materials hoarded on weekdays.

If Yang Shen will collect all the pharmacies, how can there be a situation where there is not enough?

"We arrived late, and before that, they had just sold the hoarded herbs."

General Yang glanced at Xiao Zhihan, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Now the people of Pingcheng have been plagued by the plague, and those rich families have bought a large number of medicinal herbs and placed them at home for later use. In this situation, they can't go to the homes of those rich families and force them to hand over the medicinal herbs.

"Sold?"

Hearing General Yang's answer, Xiao Zhihan glanced at Yan Xi and saw a trace of undercurrent surging in each other's eyes.

Even if it is a plague, it is not a strange thing for those rich people in the city to stock up on medicinal herbs.

But how many people in the families of those rich families were able to buy out the medicinal materials in the entire Pingcheng!

If there is nothing greasy behind this, it is estimated that there are few people who believe it.

Yan Xi raised his eyes and looked at General Yang, and saw some weakness in General Yang's eyes.

It seems that this rich man is tired of hoarding medicinal materials, and General Yang also knows about it. However, there may be some big man behind this, and it made Yang Shen General afraid to touch the person who hoarded medicine.

"Thorough investigation."

Ignoring General Yang who was sweating on his forehead, Xiao Zhihan glanced at Feiying who was guarding the side and gave an order.

Feiying took the order and left, and Yan Xi also said goodbye to Xiao Zhihan and went to the pharmacy.

Although there are those imperial doctors brought by Xiao Zhihan to help from the pharmacy, there are things that only Yan Xi can do. Since she promised Xiao Zhihan to heal these people in Pingcheng, she naturally wouldn't take the money and do nothing.

As soon as she arrived at the pharmacy in the quarantine area, Yan Xi saw Ye Xin'er angrily drinking water with a teacup.

"Ye girl, what's wrong?"

Yan Xi walked into the pharmacy, looked at Yu Yang, who was staring at Ye Xin'er not far away, and asked with a smile.

Since returning from the mountain behind Pingcheng that day, Yu Yang and Ye Xin'er have seen a very strange atmosphere.

Ye Xin'er was poisoned by the Chixia snake bite and fainted, completely unaware of what happened later, but Yu Yang remembered it clearly.

In the past few days, Ye Xin'er has nothing abnormal, but Yu Yang, as soon as she sees Ye Xin'er, she hides, and she doesn't even fight with Ye Xin'er. But when Ye Xin'er didn't notice him, he hid to the side and looked at Ye Xin'er quietly.

At this time, Ye Xin'er's state, except for Ye Xin'er herself, it is estimated that Yu Yang knows what is going on. But remembering that every time Ye Xin'er encountered something, she was like a doll on a clockwork, and she kept talking, Yan Xi decisively chose to ask Yu Yang.

Seeing that Yan Xi asked Ye Xin'er about herself, Yu Yang glanced at Yan Xi with complicated eyes.

She had just gone out for a stroll, and then passed by the door of a family surnamed He, who said that there were medicinal materials in their yard, and urged the family to send medicinal materials here to treat these victims. But the family of that family insisted that the house only stocked up on some daily spare medicinal materials, and there was nothing extra to send over. She got into an argument with the family and was kicked out. ”

Thinking of what had just happened, Yu Yang felt a headache.

Ye Xin'er originally planned to go to the shops outside the quarantine area to buy some things, but when she walked to the door of the family surnamed He, she sniffed vigorously.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Ye Xin'er with a puzzled face, Yu Yang, who accompanied Ye Xin'er to buy something, frowned.

"There's medicinal herbs in there."

Ye Xin'er looked back at Yu Yang and said with certainty.

"This family looks like they should be wealthy, and it's normal for the family to stock up on some medicinal herbs. What's more, this is during the plague, not to mention the rich, even the homes of ordinary people have more or less hoarded some medicinal materials for emergencies. ”

When Yu Yang heard what Ye Xin'er said, he instantly wanted to sarcastically say a few words to Ye Xin'er. But that night, the picture of him sucking snake venom for Ye Xin'er rushed into his mind, and all his sarcasm was swallowed back.

"No, they have a lot of medicinal herbs here, and they just happen to be what we need."

Ye Xin'er shook her head, looking at the closed vermilion door, Ye Xin'er walked straight over.

"You haven't been to someone's house, how do you know that they have hoarded a lot of medicinal herbs, and they just happen to be the ones we need?"

Yu Yang quickly pulled Ye Xin'er back and stopped Ye Xin'er's hand from knocking on the door.

"Smell it, my nose, smell the smell of medicinal herbs, one smell is accurate."

After Ye Xin'er finished speaking, she didn't care that Yu Yang was shocked by his words, and ran directly to the vermilion gate and called the door hard.

After calling for a long time, the door opened a small crack from the inside. A family member stuck his head out of the small crack and asked Ye Xin'er what she was doing.

Ye Xin'er was also direct, and opened her mouth to say that their family had a large number of medicinal materials, and it happened that the pharmacy in the quarantine area needed it, and she wanted to ask them to lend the medicinal materials in the house to this side for disaster relief first.

As a result, the family said no, and closed the door with a "bang".

Ye Xin'er, who had eaten the closed-door soup, became like this after she came back, sitting at the table alone, holding a pot of tea and drinking non-stop.

Hearing Yu Yang's words, Yan Xi's eyes rippled slightly. walked to Ye Xin'er's side and asked Ye Xin'er to tell the He family about the medicinal materials clearly. Then let Yu Yang look at Ye Xin'er and ask her not to run around, and Yan Xi went back to the City Lord's Mansion first.

"Lord Wang, I found out, there are indeed people maliciously hoarding medicinal materials."

When Yan Xi went, he was just in time for Feiying to come back and report.

"The He family?"

Hearing what Feiying said, Yan Xi couldn't help but ask.

Feiying looked at Yan Xi suddenly, and the surprise in his eyes was clearly to ask Yan Xi how he knew again.

The He family has hoarded a large number of medicinal materials, and he has only just found out and is about to report it to the prince, why would Yan Xi know that he was talking about the He family.

"I don't know the prophet, Ye Xin'er found out. The girl's nose was like a dog's nose, and she could smell the strong smell of medicinal herbs in the He Mansion outside the door, even what kind of medicinal herbs she was. ”

Yan Xi shrugged his shoulders, looked at Xiao Zhihan, and said what Ye Xin'er and Yu Yang said in the pharmacy again.

After Xiao Zhihan learned that the He family was hoarding medicinal materials, he immediately invited Song Xiuming, the city lord, to ask about the origin of this wealthy merchant surnamed He.

Song Xiuming was invited to Xiao Zhihan's room, and when he heard Xiao Zhihan ask about the He family, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

When General Yang told him that He Feng was among the wealthy merchants who hoarded medicinal materials, and the amount He Feng hoarded was not a few, he was already suspicious in his heart.

But He Feng got in touch with the prince because of He Xian'er, even if he had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to easily stab his matter in front of Xiao Zhihan.

But he didn't expect that Xiao Zhihan, who didn't seem to have any power, would be able to find out He Feng in such a short period of time.

"The prince is asking about the He family in Sanli Lane in the east of the city?"

After thinking for a long time, Song Xiuming looked up at Xiao Zhihan. Song Xiuming's eyes were a little hesitant and a little jealous.

Regarding Song Xiuming's question, Xiao Zhihan did not answer, but just looked at Song Xiuming and said nothing.

"Lord Wang, the master of this He family is called He Feng, and his sister He Xian'er has been serving by the prince's side all these years. Because of this relationship, He Feng has been in Pingcheng for many years. When the people of Pingcheng saw him, most of them avoided him. ”

Song Xiuming did not take the initiative to mention He Feng's hoarding of medicinal materials, but only told the relationship between He Feng and the crown prince.

In fact, Song Xiuming also gambled again, betting on whether Xiao Zhihan would directly attack He Feng without caring about the prince.

If Xiao Zhihan wants to take care of the prince, then he will find out the relationship between the prince and He Feng at this time, Xiao Zhihan will definitely retreat from the difficulty, and the matter of medicinal materials will naturally have to find another way. In this way, he would not offend He Feng.

If Xiao Zhihan didn't plan to take care of the prince, then he also said that He Feng was not a good person in the fish and meat town on weekdays, so it was not too rare for him to take advantage of the plague to make a fortune, and he naturally did not help He Feng hide it.

Xiao Zhihan listened to Song Xiuming's words, waved his hand, and sent him out. He could see Song Xiuming's thoughts clearly, but he didn't bother to take the time to care about him.

handed over the investigation and punishment of He Feng to Feiying and Liang Zhao, and Xiao Zhihan no longer asked.

In the He Mansion in Sanli Lane in the east of the city, He Feng, who was full of meat and fat head and big ears, was in a hurry in the room.

After these two days, he finally waited for the lack of medicinal materials in the quarantine area, and he was really ready to take out the medicinal materials he had hoarded and make a deal with the City Lord's Mansion and those who were infected with the plague, but he never expected that the envoy who came to Pingcheng for disaster relief this time turned out to be Xiao Zhihan.
