Chapter 277: Abrupt
I'm fed up with this sour smell, and I have to go outside to breathe anything!
Rong Liang and the others responded, accompanied the three highnesses to change their clothes, and went out together.
Now that the epidemic has been brought under control, the situation in Hongzheng Mansion is getting better day by day, most of the people in the city have returned to normal life, many shops have started doing business normally, and some vendors can be seen on the streets.
Compared with the sorrow of the previous period, the situation at this time can be described as thriving.
His Royal Highness was quite pleased, and walked slowly along the street, even to the nearby alley.
The alleys are much more deserted, but they are also relatively calm, because they are full of houses, and they can smell the strong smell of medicine in the air, and the people strictly follow the prescription of the epidemic to use medicine and disinfect and prevent it.
Suffice it to say, everything is in order.
But when the Third Highness walked to a more secluded alley, he almost bumped into someone head-on.
The man was dressed in green clothes, looking like a small servant, and there were three people standing next to him who were dressed similarly, and the four of them looked nervous at this time, looking at the three highnesses and his group with vigilant faces.
At their feet were haphazardly piled sacks, each of which was adorned with strips of cloth with words written on them.
Because of the strong smell of herbs exuding from the sack, the Third Highness twisted his eyebrows and glanced at it subconsciously.
On one of the sacks, the word "licorice" was written on the strip of cloth, and then on the other sacks, there were ephedra, forsythia, honeysuckle, indigo root, rhubarb, and so on.
This......
All of them are herbs for the treatment of the plague.
Because of the serious epidemic in Hong Zheng Mansion, these medicinal materials were extremely scarce, in order to prevent merchants from hoarding and raising prices, Zheng Yakun had already talked to the Chamber of Commerce and medicinal herb stores, asking them to sell at a flat price and not to increase prices aggressively.
And all the medicinal materials that were transported to Hongzheng Mansion were all under the supervision of the yamen, and the prescriptions for the treatment of the epidemic were prepared and distributed everywhere to ensure that the people could have medicine to eat and diseases to be treated.
It can be said that what the people have in their hands is a whole package of medicinal materials that are arranged according to the prescription for the treatment of the epidemic, and they will not be classified according to various herbs like this.
Such medicinal herbs are only available in the hands of merchants.
But at this time, medicinal materials are scarce, but all the medicinal materials purchased by the Chinese herbal medicine shops in the city are guarded by the yamen, and there will basically be no such situation scattered in the alleys and guarded by ordinary people.
Or is it that some people smuggled these medicinal materials into the city, ready to make a lot of money?
His Royal Highness's face was gloomy, and he was about to speak, but the little guy at the head was full of vigilance, "Who are you and what are you going to do!"
"And who are you, and what are you doing here?" The Third Highness asked rhetorically, "Where did these medicinal materials come from?"
"We bought it!" The little servant replied, seeing that the tone of the Third Highness and the others was not good, they were also a little displeased, so they only crossed their waists, stared at their eyes and shouted, "You can't live by the sea, you can't manage it so widely, you don't care where my medicinal materials come from, I just don't steal or rob it."
Seeing that the little guy was choking up, Rong Liang also choked, "Bold!"
"If you don't steal or rob, it's okay, and you can honestly explain where this medicinal herb is going to be transported and what is the use of it! If you are still talking nonsense here, I will drag you to the yamen to punish you!"
"Who are you, and why did you drag me to the magistrate?" The little servant still didn't have the slightest fear, but instead glared at Rong Liang and the Third Highness, and even said, "In broad daylight, you guys are pretending to be here, thinking about robbing our medicinal materials? There are no doors!"
"If you are still entangled and want to covet our medicinal herbs, be careful that we have sent you to the yamen!" The little guy next to him also followed.
"That is, we are the house slaves of the Zi family of Anmin County, and the eldest son of my family has a very good relationship with the Zheng Governor's Mansion, so if you are interested, you should leave quickly, otherwise you will ......."
"Don't blame us for being rude!"
At this time, the four little guys were all full of vigilance and anger looking at the Third Highness and Rong Liang and the others.
When His Royal Highness heard this, he was stunned.
These people are the domestic slaves of the Zi family in Anmin County
, isn't that ......
"Fengzhu, what's wrong?" Su Yunruo saw that his little servant was arguing with others, so he hurriedly walked over.
"Miss." Feng Zhu, the leader, hurriedly explained, "And the small ones are guarding the medicinal materials, and these people jumped out, and they don't know what they are going to do.
"Nonsense!" Rong Liang was so angry that he choked, "It's clear that you are hoarding medicinal materials here, my master is just curious to ask a few words, you have an arrogant attitude and speak arrogantly, you can't tell where the medicinal materials come from, and you can't say what the medicinal materials are going to do, so I said that I want to send you to the yamen to ask for clarification."
"Good and decent, what are you doing to inquire about the origin and destination of our medicinal herbs?" Fengzhu shouted back unconvinced, "It's not that I have a plan in my heart......
"Toyotake!" Su Yunruo snorted.
Feng Zhu stopped and looked at Su Yunruo, "Miss......
"The matter has not been asked clearly, so we must not open our mouths and draw random conclusions." Su Yunruo looked at Feng Zhu, his eyes were like torches, and he said to the Third Highness, "The people are abrupt, please forgive your sins."
"I just don't know why I have to ask me about the origin and whereabouts of this medicinal herb, but what's the matter?"
Although Su Yunruo was dressed as a woman at this time, she was dressed in a strong suit, very capable, looking very heroic, and her momentum was quite sharp, which made people feel afraid.
The Third Highness did not answer Su Yunruo's inquiry, but smiled slightly and bowed, "Hello Miss Su."
"Do you recognize me?" Su Yunruo was suddenly surprised, and unconsciously looked at the person in front of him.
is the same age as her, her appearance is quite outstanding, her temperament is even better, and she is also quite particular about wearing a brocade robe, it seems that she should not be an ordinary person, but such a person, Su Yunruo can't remember where she has seen it.
"I can't call it recognized, I can only say that I heard Su Gongzi mention it." His Royal Highness said with a smile, "Previously, Young Master Su was responsible for transporting the food used for disaster relief, and I often met him, and I heard Master Su mention that there is a little sister in the family."
"I heard your family mention that they are the servants of the Zi family in Anmin County, and since they call you Miss, I think you are the resolute, intelligent and capable little sister in the mouth of Su Gongzi."
"I heard Gongzi Su and Dr. Su mention that Miss Su was ambushed by gangsters when she was escorting a batch of disaster relief food, and she was deeply poisoned, so Miss Su is getting better at this time?"
I see.
Su Yunruo nodded slightly, and after looking at His Royal Highness again, he was blessed, "His Royal Highness Lao has a memory, Doctor Su's medical skills are excellent, and he has been good in the early days."
"How does Miss Su know my identity?" This time it was the turn of the Third Highness to be surprised.
