Wu Neng looked at Shi Cheng who was standing beside his bed, and said with a sneer: "Old Shi, good morning, you got up so early?" Wu Neng said hello while quietly reaching for the book in Shi Cheng's hand.

Just as Wu Neng's hand was about to touch the book, Shi Cheng raised his hand as if intentionally or unintentionally, turned a page casually, and read: "The Cold-Blooded Saint Venerable knows Ying'er's tenderness and sweetness towards him today. Suddenly, it seems that the thunder of the sky has stirred the fire of the earth, and it is really a jade soft warbler crying in the spring shirt, and the dragon roaring path is full of flowers in the garden......"

"Don't read it, don't read it, don't read it!" Wu Neng couldn't wait to dig a crack in the ground and get in, snatched it back from Shi Cheng's hand, and looked at Shi Cheng sadly and embarrassed.

"Okay, okay." Shi Cheng held back a smile as he raised his hand and said, "Don't say it, don't say it." But Wu Neng, when I met you in the Bai family, did you lie in bed every day because you liked to watch these loves. ”

"I, I don't like to see this." Wu Neng hurriedly stuffed it into the hidden heaven box at the head of the bed, and then blushed and defended: "I found this book by accident in a bookstall before, and I just wanted to read it critically to see how degenerate the author's mind of this book has become!" ”

"Yes, yes." Shi Cheng said with a smile, "Actually, I'm not making fun of you, it's normal for young people of your age to have these thoughts." ”

Tie Mian, who was not far away, was a little impatient, opened his eyes, and said emotionlessly: "Don't forget that we have to prepare for a free clinic today." ”

Shi Cheng nodded and said, "Everyone pack up, take the important items with you, and we will go downstairs after breakfast." ”

The three of them packed up their things and went downstairs. When the three of them walked to the first floor to prepare for breakfast, Shi Cheng, who was in the lead, found that someone was already waiting for them there.

Zhao Ping sat on a bench and ate a bowl of noodle soup in front of him unhurriedly. Behind him, at a square wooden table, sat two officials who were also eating breakfast, and they seemed to be quite skillful.

Of course, the skills of these people were nothing in Shi Cheng's eyes, he walked to Zhao Ping's side, smiled and said hello.

But Zhao Ping didn't look up, just pointed to the three empty seats next to the table in front of him one by one, and said lightly: "You might as well sit here." ”

Shi Cheng had already imagined that the military attache surnamed Sun might send his right-hand men to keep an eye on him, so he was not surprised, and he sat down on Zhao Ping's left hand side.

Wu Neng also greeted Zhao Ping, but he sat in the seat farthest from Zhao Ping. Tie Mian didn't say a word, and sat quietly on Zhao Ping's right hand.

The guys in the shop hurriedly handed over the menu, don't look at the lunch and dinner at the inn, but the breakfast provided in the morning is quite rich. Shi Cheng looked at the menu in his hand and ordered a drawer of pies and a bowl of meat sauce noodles. Tie Mian, who was sitting opposite Shi Cheng, ordered a noodle soup. Wu Neng ordered a fried rice and a bowl of milk, a small plate of rice cakes and two meatloafs.

Shi Cheng sat aside, secretly looking at and analyzing Wu Neng, who was reincarnated like a starving ghost from the perspective of a pharmacist, looking at Wu Neng's thin body, Shi Cheng couldn't help but think about a question in his heart: Where did the food go?

The three of them ordered early and soon came up. At this time, Zhao Ping had already finished eating his noodle soup, he wiped his mouth, and asked Shi Cheng coldly, "What are you planning for the past few days?" Let me know that first. ”

Shi Cheng unhurriedly stuffed a piece of pie into his mouth, and said indistinctly: "In the next day, I will first go to purchase carriages and horses, and then I will go to the medical hall in the city to purchase medicinal materials, and everything will be ready." Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we will start free clinics in the city, I plan to start with the urban areas where there are more poor people, and come from urban areas one by one, I wonder what Lord Zhao thinks? ”

Zhao Ping was silent for a moment, and said to Shi Cheng solemnly: "Shi Cheng, I don't know what your intentions are. But in the past three days, you'd better not get caught by me. I hate traitors who harm people's lives the most in my life, if I find out that you are really related to the Xieyang Dao case, even if Lord Sun has concerns about your identity in his heart, I will definitely take you to prison. ”

Shi Cheng swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Lord Zhao, I still say that. If you want to solve the case as soon as possible, don't just focus on the next person, lest the real thief fish in troubled waters. ”

Zhao Ping snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.

After Shi Cheng took a few mouthfuls of noodles in his mouth, he suddenly asked Zhao Ping, "By the way, Lord Zhao." I proposed to set up a secret post around Green Pond Village to observe the movement in the village, but now is there a harvest? ”

"There is nothing to be gained, everything is normal in the village." Zhao Ping replied.

Shi Cheng's brows furrowed tightly, and he didn't say anything more. The breakfast passed in a somewhat oppressive atmosphere.

After everyone finished breakfast, everyone went out of the inn together. After Shi Cheng asked Zhao Ping about the place in the city where he could rent a carriage, he went there directly with his two companions, while Zhao Ping and the other two officials followed closely around the three of them. Zhao Ping's eyes watched Shi Cheng's every move intently, and the scene of the three Jianghu guests and the three officials walking together attracted the attention of the pedestrians on the street, and many people automatically ignored the iron face with extraordinary temperament and the clear-eyed Wu Neng, and pointed at the ugly-looking Shi Cheng, speculating whether this scar-faced Western Continent barbarian had done something hurtful.

Shi Cheng didn't pay attention to the pointing and pointing of others, the group of six people were all warriors, and soon arrived at the carriage shop where the carriage was rented.

Due to the influence of the Xieyang Road case, the owner of the shop has not seen a decent business for a long time, and when he saw Shi Cheng and others coming to the door, he hurriedly rushed to the door to greet him. After seeing Zhao Ping, the owner of the shop thought that Shi Cheng was an official person, although he didn't like the Western Continent in China in his heart, but there were still a lot of stammers in his words.

Shi Cheng had already exchanged a few pills he had refined for a lot of silver tickets when he was visiting the black market in Redwood City, and he was not short of cash at this time. After negotiating the price, the money will be paid, and after the boss has checked the ticket, he will go to the backyard to personally greet the guy to prepare the car for Shicheng.

Nearly half an hour later, the rental car shop was ready for carriage and horses. Shi Cheng wanted to ask Zhao Ping if there was a branch of Renxin Pavilion in Yunqiu City, but he was unexpectedly told that the branch of Renxin Pavilion in the city publicly claimed that he was short of supplies a few days ago and chose to temporarily close down. Shi Cheng pondered for a moment, and after asking the addresses of other medical centers that were still open, he drove to those medical centers with everyone.

In addition to the Renxin Pavilion, there are two medical centers that can be called famous in Yunqiu City, but these two big medical halls actually made Shi Cheng hit a wall. One of them, like Renxinkan, was temporarily closed on the grounds of being out of stock, and the other, although still open, also refused Shi Cheng's request to buy a large number of drugs on the grounds of insufficient supply. In the end, Shi Cheng could only settle for the next best thing, spent some more money, and slightly pulled his identity as a pharmacist, and finally bought a small amount of medicinal materials from the hands of this pharmacy.

Shi Cheng only made good progress in some small medical halls, but it was precisely because of this that the medicinal materials that Shi Cheng could acquire were still quite limited.

In desperation, Shi Cheng had no choice but to ask from some passers-by where a few people in the city who were doing business alone where they lived temporarily, and bought some medicinal materials from them at a high price, so that he could barely scrape together enough to meet Shi Cheng's minimum requirements.

After all the other miscellaneous preparations, the sunset had already appeared in the sky. The group drove the carriage through the streets and alleys, preparing to return to the Shunlai Inn. When the convoy passed a restaurant, the people in a private room in the restaurant suddenly gently lifted the curtain and kept looking at the distant convoy.

In the private room sat four richly dressed merchants, all of whom were also the owners of the city's great pharmacies. A merchant in a blue satin robe sitting by the window closed the curtain, turned his head to the two merchants beside him and asked, "Brother Yun, Brother Lin, the man driving the car is the one who came to your store today to buy medicinal herbs?" ”

The two businessmen nodded, and the businessman surnamed Lin said with some confusion: "I have been in this business for sixteen years, and I have rarely seen this kind of customer who buys so many medicinal materials at one time in his personal name, and I don't know what it is for?" ”

"Speaking of this, Brother Fool has heard some relevant news." The oldest businessman sitting at the head of the right spoke suddenly.

"Oh?" The other three merchants in the room all looked at the eldest businessman. The blue-robed merchant couldn't help but say, "Then I'm sorry to ask Brother Zhu to solve my doubts." ”

The merchant surnamed Zhu was obviously the highest-ranking of the four, and he took a leisurely sip of wine, and then said, "I heard that I wanted to hold a two-day free clinic in the city, so I purchased these many medicinal materials. ”

"Free clinic?" The merchant surnamed Yun seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and said, "Will there be such idlers in this year?" This year, the harvest of grain and medicinal materials in many places in the Southern Wilderness is not good, and the situation next year is not optimistic, and I heard that the government's grain reserves have been almost used, you see, soon, famine and plague may follow, and the price of medicinal materials will probably continue to rise at that time. When that time comes, if that kid sells the goods he received from the city today at a high price, he doesn't know how much he can earn, and he will be scattered in vain? It's a terrible thing! ”

The merchant surnamed Lin said disdainfully: "That kid seems to be still a pharmacist, I originally saw that he was so generous, and I thought it was the son of a pharmacist family who came out to practice." I also gave him a discount and sold him a little bit to make friends with him in the future, but now it seems that it has been lost. How can there be such a heartless child in this world? I should have slaughtered him if I knew it. ”

"This kid really doesn't have any background to rely on." The merchant surnamed Zhu said with a smile, "Brother Lin doesn't need to befriend him, otherwise, not only will the money be wasted, but it may also make the tall man unhappy." ”
