Chapter 57 Bidding for Medicine
Xue Fei heard that Jiang Duanchen didn't want him to move forward with him, and a trace of loss flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Duanchen saw his thoughts and explained to him, "I know that you are loyal to me, and you value my life more than your own, but now I have someone who values me more than me, and that is Ling'er, so you have to protect her for me."
Xue Fei raised his head, his eyes were full of worry, "Childe, the disaster in Pingkang County is serious, you ...... Be careful."
Jiang Duanchen smiled shallowly, and then stretched out his hand to Xue Fei and said, "How is it, can you go home?"
Xue Fei stretched out his hand and put it on Jiang Duanchen's hand and stood up from the bed, "I can go back."
After they returned home, Su Ling personally made a table of dishes and waited for Jiang Duanchen.
Jiang Duanchen came back and looked at the table full of dishes, sat on the stool and asked Su Ling in surprise, "What does this mean, madam?"
"You're going to Pingkang County tomorrow, and I can't see you off in a hurry, so I'll personally cook a table of good dishes for you." Su Ling replied gently.
Jiang Duanchen's heart swelled with warmth, he hugged Su Ling's waist and said, "Thank you, madam."
Su Ling looked at Xue Fei and Gao Yun who were standing aside and said, "You guys come and eat too, don't look there."
"No need madam......" Xue Fei just wanted to refuse, but Jiang Duanchen also said, "Sit down."
Xue Fei and Gao Yun glanced at each other, and then sat down.
They finished the dinner happily.
Su Ling looked at the smiles on their faces and felt very satisfied.
At night, Su Ling and Jiang Duanchen were lying on the bed, and Jiang Duanchen hugged her full of intimacy.
Su Ling rubbed his head and asked, "Duan Chen, aren't you afraid of those disasters?"
"I'm afraid." Jiang Duanchen replied in a low voice.
"Then why are you going?" Su Ling looked into Jiang Duanchen's eyes.
Jiang Duanchen tightened his arms around her hand and said, "If I don't go, Your Majesty will be suspicious. Then what about the family members who were killed in our whole house, how can they take revenge, and if I don't have an official position, how can I fight Nie Yunhua?"
Su Ling lowered his eyes, thinking about the pain before death.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'll be fine. You just wait for me at home." Jiang Duanchen kissed her on the lips, and it was another night.
The day was slightly bright, Jiang Duanchen couldn't bear Su Ling to be separated from him, and when he saw her in his heart, he tiptoed out of bed.
Xue Fei stayed outside the door early, and all the luggage was packed.
"Let's go." Jiang Duanchen softly closed the door.
Xue Fei said worriedly, "Childe, you must notify us in time if there is any situation."
"Okay, when I'm away, I'll trouble you to take care of Ling'er for me." Jiang Duanchen took one last look at the sleeping Su Ling, and left the house with all his heart.
Gao Yun's carriage was already waiting outside, "My lord, according to your orders, one-third of the people in the Dark Pavilion have already taken a picture to protect the homeless courtyard, and the remaining two-thirds of the people have stayed in the mansion to protect Madame."
"Okay. When will the people from the Tai Hospital leave?" Jiang Duanchen asked.
"At noon, they will be escorted by the guards of the Imperial City and set off." Gao Yun replied.
Xue Fei listened to their arrangement and said suspiciously, "Childe, do you want to go to Pingkang County with Gao Yun first?"
"The two of them are not noticeable, so I will stagger their time, so that I can exchange some news in advance when I get to Pingkang County." Jiang Duanchen's eyes looked firmly into the distance.
Seeing that Jiang Duanchen was confident, Xue Fei didn't say much, and watched them leave.
Su Ling had already woken up when she felt Jiang Duanchen get out of bed.
It can also be said that she has not slept all night.
How could she bear to let him take on such a dangerous thing alone. So she came back last night and sent a letter to the hospital.
She waited until Jiang Duanchen and Xue Fei left the room, and then quickly got up and changed her clothes. She changed into the prepared maid's suit, and quietly left the house through the back door while no one was around.
There was a medicine boy outside the house who saw it
Su Ling beckoned to her.
"Miss Sue, here." The medicine boy called softly.
Su Ling saw him and walked towards him.
"Let's go." Su Ling said to the medicine boy.
The medicine boy invited Su Ling into the carriage and took her to an inn. ,
Su Ling got out of the carriage, and the imperial doctor Zhang Ji waited outside the inn for a long time.
"You're here."
"Hmm."
"Come in with me."
Su Ling followed Zhang Ji into the inn.
Pingkang County is not far from Shangque City, and Jiang Duanchen and the others walked for two days to arrive.
Sure enough, just like the news found by the Dark Pavilion, the city was already full of devastation.
Along the way, everyone coughed incessantly, and some even coughed up blood. They were dressed in tatters, and their eyes were red and they looked at Jiang Duanchen.
"Help us...... Save us....." A group of people surrounded him, and after Gao Yun drew his sword, they retreated.
Gao Yun tightened the mask on his face, and said to Jiang Duanchen with a heavy face, "My lord, do you want to find a place to rest?"
"Well, by the way, ask them about it." Jiang Duanchen wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at the people sitting on the ground coughing.
The two came to an inn, and when the shopkeeper saw a guest who hadn't seen him for a long time, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What are the two guest officers eating?"
"Just have some." Gao Yun closed the door and said.
Seeing that the two of them wanted to take off their masks, the boss hurriedly reminded, "Guest officer, you should go to the private room upstairs and take off your masks, otherwise, if you accidentally get infected with the flu in this city, it will be terrible."
Gao Yun stopped taking off his mask and looked at Jiang Duanchen. He nodded, and Gao Yun said to the boss, "Thanks for reminding me."
The two then went to a private room on the second floor.
Within a while, the boss served a few simple dishes.
Gao Yun looked at this bland dish and said with a little disgust, "That's all the dishes in your store?"
The boss said embarrassedly: "I think the two guest officers are from outsiders, you don't know the situation in our Pingkang County, we lack herbal medicines, and we are basically hoarded by our parents, and we infected patients have to pay a high price if they want to buy medicine."
He looked outside the door and whispered, "Those who have a little money can still buy medicine, those poor people, you should have seen it on the way here, those who have no money to treat the seriously ill, all squatting at the county entrance, not allowing contact with the people in the county."
After hearing this, Gao Yun slapped his sword on the table angrily, "How can this be true, there is no royal law here, and it is difficult to get sick and wealthy."
The boss was first taken aback by Gao Yun's actions, and then sighed and said, "No way, the words of our local parents are the king's law, who dares to disobey."
After the boss finished speaking, he left the private room.
Gao Yun took off his mask and said angrily, "My lord, this group of people is really bold, not only to hide their illness, but also to take the opportunity to make money and water. What are you going to do?"
Jiang Duanchen slowly uncovered the mask, looked at the dishes on the table with low eyebrows, he picked up the chopsticks and put them into his mouth, and then said, "It tastes good, you try it."
Gao Yun saw that Jiang Duanchen didn't react, so he put away his temperament and was unwilling to eat a mouthful of food.
He only felt bitter and difficult to swallow, where was it delicious.
He looked at Jiang Duanchen in confusion, but found that his face had not changed.
"After eating, I'll go to the local government's house." Jiang Duanchen said softly.
"Yes."
Gao Yun thought that Jiang Duanchen should have his own plans, so he didn't ask more. He just had to listen to him anyway.
The two finished their meal silently, said goodbye to the boss, and walked towards the county governor's mansion.
Outside the county governor's mansion, for a group of people, they shouted:
"Give us the medicine!"
"I have money, give it to me!"
"Save my child......
There were all kinds of voices, and Gao Yun looked at the county governor's mansion with the door closed, and there was a burst of anger in his heart.
He just thought
stepped forward, but was stopped by Jiang Duanchen and said, "Wait and see."
Gao Yun glanced at Jiang Duanchen and could only give up.
The door of the county governor's mansion finally opened, and a scrawny man walked out, holding three packets of medicine in his hand, he raised his hand and said in a loud voice, "Only three copies of medicine are sold today, and the one with the highest price will get it."
As soon as these words came out, everyone squeezed up like a nest and raised the silver tickets in their hands.
In the chaos, some people were even trampled underfoot, but no one paid attention, and they still squeezed their heads and wanted to step forward.
Despite the masks, they could see the greed on their faces.
Even if some of them are not infected with the flu, in this special situation, who doesn't want to stock up on more life-saving medicine.
Then a man shouted, "I have ten thousand taels of silver here!"
Hearing this voice, everyone instantly fell silent. Between is a fat-headed, big-eared man dressed in a gorgeous manner, followed by his servant, carrying three boxes.
The man at the door of the county governor's mansion beckoned him to come forward, and he opened the box in front of everyone, and there was indeed white silver inside.
The man smiled in satisfaction, and then said to the group, "Is there anyone else bidding?"
Everyone was silent, and everyone knew that this fat man was a wealthy businessman in Pingkang County, and no one could compare to him in terms of wealth.
Seeing that everyone stopped talking, the man smiled flatteringly, "Congratulations to Guo Yuanwai."
He handed over all the three packs of medicine to Guo Yuanwai, and he was satisfied that his subordinates took the medicine and left the sight of the crowd.
"Today's medicine has been sold, so let's all disperse." After the man finished speaking, he went back to the house.
People who don't have access to medicine can only stand stupidly in place, looking up to the sky and hating.
"Heaven is unfair!"
"Who will save us......
......
After Jiang Duanchen finished reading it, he left with Gao Yun.
Gao Yun followed behind him and asked, "Childe, these people are too many things, what should we do?"
"If nothing else, the people from Tai Hospital will be able to go to Pingkang County tomorrow." Jiang Duanchen asked...
"Yes."
"I guess they must want to understand the disaster situation in Pingkang County before they can make a diagnosis and treatment, since they spent a lot of money to buy that medicine, then we will go tonight to see where the medicine is precious, and let our people study it." Jiang Duanchen lowered his eyebrows and smiled.
Gao Yun immediately understood what he meant, raised his lips and smiled, "Yes! Your Excellency."
Night
Song Jiahua, the county magistrate, was eating big fish and meat in the county governor's mansion, and the skinny man beside him said flatteringly: "My lord, Guo Yuan came to buy our medicine today."
Song Jiahua smiled and said, "Yes, fortunately, you found this special medicine to earn so much money for me."
The man lowered his eyebrows and said, "It is Li's honor to be able to serve adults."
"Li Yunwei, I heard that the Imperial City is going to send someone to check on the disaster, you must hide this matter from me." Song Jiahua reminded.
"Don't worry, my lord, I've already hidden the medicine, and the important materials for making the medicine have been transported to the house, even if they come, they can't do anything, and if they don't get infected with the flu, there is no way to do it." Li Yunwei's eyes were cold.
After hearing this, Song Jiahua slanted his lips and raised his wine glass and smiled at him.
