Chapter 160: Coaxing the mastermind

When Zhang's mother heard what Yu Jinxi said so seriously, she immediately didn't dare to say anything more, but she didn't let Yu Jinxi go up, but went to climb the ladder by herself.

But before she went up, Yu Jinxi gave her a cloth cover to cover her mouth and nose.

After Zhang's mother climbed up, she found that the Qi family was really boiling medicine, but they were divided into several places, and they did not boil medicine on the side of the wall, but the two families were too close to each other and floated over directly, and the cough could not be hidden.

Zhang's mother shouted, and the subordinates who were boiling medicine around the stove immediately stood up, and they all covered their mouths and noses, and after seeing Zhang's mother, they didn't immediately approach.

"Are you sick? What about the main house? ”

One of the servants replied respectfully, "Our little boy is sick, the lady is taking care of the little boy, and the master is staying in the study." ”

"Where's Miss?"

"Miss stays in the boudoir, Madame won't let her out,"

After asking about these situations, Zhang's mother looked at Yu Jinxi, "Miss, what should I do?" ”

Yu Jinxi said, "Ask him how many people are sick, is there still medicine in the house?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang's mother immediately did so.

The slave said honestly, and Yu Jinxi immediately asked people to prepare medicine.

When the medicine was ready, Zhang's mother was about to throw it through the courtyard wall, but Mrs. Qi suddenly came out, she knelt down directly on the side of the courtyard wall, crying and thanking Yu Jinxi.

Mother Zhang was startled, and hurriedly said, "Madame, please get up, our young lady can't stand such a big gift from Madame." ”

Mrs. Qi cried and said, "Last time, I thanked Miss Yu for sending the medicine, this time my son was sick, several slaves in the house were sick, and it was difficult to buy a medicine outside, Miss Yu's medicine is a life-saving medicine, I can't repay it, this gift, she can afford it!" ”

"Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, which is also my merit. Mrs. takes care of the little boy with peace of mind, and there is no need to worry about it. ”

Yu Jinxi's clear voice came from the courtyard wall, and Mrs. Qi was even more grateful.

Mother Zhang got down the ladder and accompanied Yu Jinxi back to the room, she asked worriedly, "Miss, now that the epidemic is serious and the medicine is very expensive, isn't it a little bad for us to give so much to the Qi family so much?" ”

In fact, she wanted to say it before the administration, but Yu Jinxi was resolute, she didn't dare to say it, this would be said to be a reminder to Yu Jinxi that if the Qi family really had bad intentions, she could have taken precautions.

"Lord Qi is a good person, he is loyal, and now his son is sick but there is no cure, and it makes people feel cold when he says it."

Yu Jinxi said, "If Lord Qi is a traitor, with his current status, even if it is such a tense situation now, as long as he speaks, there are people who give him medicine, steal it, rob it, there is a way." ”

"Mrs. Qi cried in embarrassment, presumably because Lord Qi didn't open his mouth and didn't pass on the news, because he knew very well that once some things were opened, they would be irreparable."

Mother Zhang understood, and she also understood in her heart that Master Qi's character must be very good, which is why she has such trust from her own young lady.

In fact, Yu Jinxi was able to send medicine to the Qi family, and another point was because Lord Qi helped her in Gu Qiheng's matter, whether it was an accident or not, at the beginning of this matter, Lord Qi contributed a lot, and she couldn't watch the Qi family fall into trouble.

Due to the serious condition of the Zhang family, although Yu Jinxi was not flustered with the medicine in his hand, he still made sufficient preparations and let everyone up and down the house walk with their mouths and noses covered.

And every day, the cloth that covers the mouth and nose has to be boiled with medicine and then smoked.

While everyone was anxious about the epidemic, Yu Jinxi was also worried about the whereabouts of Qianqian, but Chu Dashan did not have news for two consecutive days, and there was no news from Yanhuai, so it can be seen that neither of them found Qianqian.

Yu Jinxi was afraid that the madman of the second prince would do something, but he was even more afraid that what he was just thinking about would become a reality, so he didn't dare to announce it at all.

Within a few days, the capital was in chaos.

There are more and more sick people, and the supply of medicinal materials and food is in short supply, and the prices of food and medicinal materials are still high under the joint price control of several shops in Yu Jinxi.

Yu Jinxi looked at the accounts and Zhang Suying, Zuo Yutang's letter, and his heart became colder and colder.

The people who raise prices in the capital are not ordinary people, let alone rich gentry, all of them are relatives of the emperor with background.

Just an hour ago, the grain store and pharmacy that Yu Jinxi used to control prices were smashed, and the contents of the store were looted.

Fortunately, Yu Jinxi had expected it, knowing that under the troubled times, people's hearts were terrifying, so the pharmacy and grain store could only sell for one day, and the others were hidden in the secret passages underground.

The secret passage was specially designed by her skilled craftsmen, and even if the whole house was killed, it would not affect the things in the secret passage.

And that secret passage, except for Yu Jinxi and Chu Dashan, no one can enter.

When this happened, Yan Huai happened to pass by, he let go of those people, and arrested the head who was hiding behind the scenes, he was not polite, tortured, the man confessed to the mastermind behind the scenes, and directly involved King Qing, that is, the emperor's own uncle, an idle king who had long claimed to the outside world that he didn't care about the world.

Yan Huai entered the palace with a human certificate, and King Qing walked outside the palace wearing a cloth coat and took the guilt.

Emperor Xuan jumped angrily in the imperial study, and a dignified prince ordered someone to smash a few shops and rob something It was not a big deal, but this happened when the epidemic was raging.

Emperor Xuan was worried about this matter every day, for fear that the disaster and epidemic would not stabilize and cause riots, but this King Qing was still in chaos at this time, and it was difficult to make a fortune in the country.

Emperor Xuan doesn't have to look at the excerpts now, he doesn't know, the excerpts handed by the courtiers must be to the king of Qing, and the people are mostly indignant, not long after the incident, the people who can't buy medicine and food will besiege the Qingwang mansion.

King Qing couldn't pretend to be dead, so he could only come to the palace to ask for guilt.

"What does this do to me? This is my uncle's own uncle, when the emperor was alive, he was favored, and the Danshu iron coupon approved by the emperor's imperial pen is still on the Qingwang Uncle's mansion. ”

Emperor Xuan scolded angrily, "Yan Huai, this stinky boy, is really good at finding trouble for me!" ”

"Your Majesty, now that things are on the bright side, I'm afraid you have to make a decision. What's more, the weather outside is cold, and the old prince is still kneeling outside. ”

The father-in-law on the side cautiously reminded Emperor Xuan that when he heard this, his face became even more gloomy.

After thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Xuan finally wrote the holy decree with his own hands.

Then he ordered someone to hand over the holy decree to Yan Huai, and he personally went to announce the decree.

Yan Huai was resettling the homeless people outside the city, and when his father-in-law found him, he was commanding with a cloth towel.

Lord Qian on the side covered his mouth and nose tightly, looking disgusted, but he couldn't hide, but whenever he took a step back, he was kicked in front by Yan Huai, and warned him that if there was another time, let him go and eat and live with the sick homeless.

Lord Qian can't go back to his home, and he can't talk about his suffering.
