Chapter 291: Preemptive Strike
Liu Qing didn't expect to be exposed so soon.
He watched Zhou Ziyu lead Zhang Jinwen into the pharmacy, a group of soldiers stood in line outside the door, and the people of Los Angeles who were waiting in line to buy medicine were so frightened that they stepped aside.
"General Zhou, Zhang Guozhu," Liu Qing suppressed the surprise and anger in his heart, and greeted him: "I didn't expect that almost all the water sources in Los Angeles were polluted. ”
Zhou Ziyu was dressed in armor and domineering, and glanced at the situation in the pharmacy before he spoke: "Liu Jianzheng has brought a lot of medicines, and he is fast enough!" ”
The location of the pharmacy was once the largest restaurant in Los Angeles, and the owner had long since abandoned it with his family.
Liu Qing entered Los Angeles, walked around the street, took a fancy to this shop at a glance, drove out a few homeless people inside, and asked people to clean up and use it as a temporary Anmin medicine shop in the Materia Medica.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to survey the water source, he poured the remaining poison powder into the well of Yangzhifang.
The absence of clean drinking water is a more cruel thing than war.
Liu Qing said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, before Liu left for Los Angeles, the shopkeeper of the Materia Medica Hall had already reminded me to bring more medicines to treat diarrhea and relieve the stomach and intestines. The hungry people in the city have been hungry for a long time, and if they eat normal food, their gastrointestinal tract will definitely not be able to bear it. Unexpectedly, some people have already experienced discomfort. ”
Zhou Ziyu narrowed his eyes: "Aren't all porridge sheds erected in the city?" ”
The first thing the Tang army did when they entered the city was to set up a tent to give porridge and medicine. Generally speaking, the porridge and soup batter on the first day are so thin that they can show the human figure, and no amount of drinking will cause gastrointestinal problems. The soup kitchen will be thicker on the second day, and after the third day, there will be meals such as pastries and cakes.
Of course, Liu Qing knew the military regulations: "General Zhou, these people have eaten unclean food, not necessarily because they have eaten Cishi's porridge medicine. Liu is investigating the cause. ”
Zhang Jinwen looked at it coldly for a while, did not expose Liu Qing's lies, and only stared at the patient on the hospital bed and said, "I heard that someone has diarrhea, so I came over to see what the situation was, so as to remind others to be careful." ”
Liu Qing turned his head to look at the person on the hospital bed by the wall, raised his hand to give way, and said in a familiar tone: "Zhang Guozhu, come and see this patient!" ”
He deliberately used this tone to let people see that his relationship with Zhou Ziyu and Zhang Jinwen was old knowledge.
Seven or eight out of ten of these people who came to see the doctor were all known to him.
As for whether Zhang Jinwen's face is good or not, the key is to let the patients see how popular he Liu Qing is!
Zhang Jinwen couldn't hear it, and walked to the hospital bed in a few steps.
Lying on the bed was a scrawny old man, with a sallow face, who was humming in a low voice.
She knew this man!
Zhang Jinwen almost blurted out the old man's name, closed her eyes, calmed down, and bent down slightly to look.
The old man on the bed was Liu Qing's second uncle.
In her previous life, the first Liu family she knew was Liu Qing's second uncle. Of all the people in the Liu family, only the second uncle treated her well and secretly stuffed her with the rare herbs he picked.
The second uncle's clothes were ragged, and there was a peculiar smell on his body.
Zhang Jinwen ignored the dirt and stretched out her hand to check the pulse of the second uncle.
Fortunately, the second uncle did not drink the poisoned well water, but he was too weak.
Liu Qing did not hide it: "This is Liu's family, and when he entered Los Angeles, he met him on this street, and he was carried in." ”
He knew that Zhang Jinwen must have come prepared, and instead of being exposed as a fake public and private servant, it was better to strike first.
At this time, who will save whom before you? But anyone who can get involved with the old will think of jumping up to reminisce about the old days in order to get a convenience.
Zhang Jinwen didn't answer, and straightened up to see another patient.
The symptoms of this patient are indeed somewhat similar to those of Chen Yiling's poisoning.
Liu Qing followed, glanced at Zhang Jinwen quietly, and said cautiously: "This neighbor is also Liu's old acquaintance, and he was already unconscious when he was just carried over, Liu poured some decoction into him, and he looked better." ”
He pointed to the people waiting in line outside to buy medicine: "Those are all neighbors who are worried about eating unclean food, and they came to Liu to ask for some pills to go back for backup." ”
Liu Qing was planning to make some refugee money, but he heard that under the rule of Wang Shichong, the treasure was not worth much, and it was common to exchange a piece of ingots for a piece of bread.
Besides, he still has the prince's entrustment to take the opportunity to make a name for himself in the Materia Medica, which is related to his bright future.
Zhang Jinwen turned her head to look at the people waiting to buy medicine outside the pharmacy, looked up and said to Zhou Ziyu: "General Zhou, go to Yangzhifang." ”
It took five points of her strength to treat the poisoning for Dr. Chen, and Los Angeles was so big, even if she gave her life here, she couldn't save a few people.
It is necessary to look at the source of the water in question.
Liu Qing said: "The well water in Yangzhifang is no longer drinkable, so it seems that we have to go outside the city to fetch water into the city." ”
Zhang Jinwen glanced at Liu Qing with disdain, her feet did not stop, and she quickly left the pharmacy.
Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and scolded a few words of hatred in his heart.
His plans have been disrupted, and he still has to be restrained before he is discovered.
The medical worker asked, "Liu Jianzheng, do you continue to treat patients?" ”
Liu Qing snorted: "Collect!" ”
The people who had just exited rushed in with a hula and again, these people were faint and frightened, and they could not be poisoned without starvation.
Liu Qing's antidote, in fact, is the medicine that induces vomiting and catharsis, and is the most primitive enema detoxification decoction. As long as a person's condition improves, someone will come to buy medicine at a high price, and he can still make money here.
The city was full of soldiers of the King of Qin, and these officers and soldiers all knew Zhou Ziyu, and Liu Qing was inconvenient to send people to follow him, so he had to patiently treat more and more patients.
Zhang Jinwen got out of the pharmacy and went straight to Yangzhifang.
Zhou Ziyu followed, but she wondered in her heart how Zhang Jinwen was so familiar.
The neighbors who lived near Yangzhifang gathered together in twos and threes, sighing for a long time, and finally the fighting stopped and the water was gone.
The water quality of the moat is so bad that falling down can kill people.
Right now, it's either half of the city to fetch water from the only remaining longan well in Los Angeles, or there's a cart to fetch water from the mountains outside the city.
Zhang Jinwen leaned on the edge of the well railing and looked down, and Zhou Ziyu motioned to his soldiers to shake a bucket of water up.
The well water has a faint fishy smell, but it is not poisoned, and such water cannot be drunk.
Zhang Jinwen frowned: "General Zhou, you can only dig another well and send someone to guard it." ”
The army was often stationed in a fortified area, and it was usually staffed with people who could dig wells.
Zhou Ziyu nodded: "Okay, where else can you dig a well in the city?" I'm going to call someone. ”
