Chapter 319: The First Signs (2)
"Bang!"
Seeing that there was a bright light in the door of the Tongren Medical Hall, and there was a scolding sound from inside, a team of patrol guards wearing face towels vigorously pushed open the door and walked into the house for inspection.
Seeing that the house was smashed and messy, and two men were tied, the guards all pulled out their knives and faced Xiao Wu and the others vigilantly.
The small leader of the patrol guards asked sharply, "What's going on?"
The old man hurriedly stood up, saluted the guards, pointed to the two people who were tied up, and said, "Official, it's great! You guys are finally here, I am the shopkeeper of this medical hall, and this is my son and wife, both of them...... Broke into the pharmacy and forced us to ask for medicine with a knife, and when I said that there were no more medicines, he beat up our whole family, and tied up our father and son to force them, thanks to this son, who heard the movement and saved our whole family."
The little leader of the guards understood the meaning, his eyes glanced at the thin Xiao Wu, and then glanced at the two sturdy men who were tied, his eyes were full of suspicion, and he also knew that he had met a master, so he didn't dare to take it lightly.
"Who are you?"
Xiao Wu took out the iron token from his sleeve, glanced at the little leader, took his hands, and deliberately explained, "Who am I...... It doesn't matter, but like you, you are protecting the people of the city, and you have come just in time, so send these two people to the earth at once, and I will give them to him...... Write a letter, and you will hand it over directly to the Circle Order."
Seeing Xiao Wu's style and tone, the little boss knew that it was not easy to mess with, so he hurriedly put on a smile, "Yes......! Oh, my lord, we'll do it."
The reason why Xiao Wu spoke like this was because he was afraid that the guards would be endlessly entangled, and he would not be able to send himself back to the VIP mansion.
In this world, there are many people who worship the high and the low, and the right to use this thing is sometimes convenient and useful.
Seeing that the two men had been escorted out of the house by the guards, Xiao Wu asked for a pen and silk, wrote a letter to Monday, asking them to interrogate the two immediately, and handed it to the leader of the guards.
"You wait"
Xiao Wu shouted to the little leader of the guards, turned to look at the young man again, and said softly: "In the future, if you want to trouble the son, you will also go with you to take a trip to ...... the situation here Again, this may involve the plague, I don't know the son and the old gentleman...... whether you are willing to give a testimony".
"It's my duty!
The young man glanced at his father and said yes in no uncertain terms, and the old man nodded in agreement.
Xiao Wu turned around and explained to the little leader of the guards, "I'm tired of the guard, to this son and this medical hall...... Thank them by taking care of them...... Support for the imperial court, go ahead".
Seeing that the guards were escorting the two of them away with the young man, Xiao Wu was a little rude to the old man and hurriedly left the medical hall.
Xiao Wu wants to go to Huang Qian to discuss whether the medicine that has been robbed is really effective in treating the plague.
When he arrived at the rescue station, Xiao Wu saw Huang Qian, who was boiling medicine, and he complained first.
"It's not easy to wear a mouthcarf, because you want to find it uncomfortable? Once you are infected...... But it's a big problem."
Xiao Wu disagreed, "I'm in good health, I'm fine."
"Hmph, it doesn't matter if you're good or not, you should pay more attention to it. By the way, it's yourself again...... Junbao just came here and said he saw ...... Just let you go back quickly, someone is worried about it, you, it's really not worrying"
"I talk a lot, I come out, and it's not for fun...... It's about getting down to business, and it's done...... Naturally, they will go back. I ask you, will curcuma be ...... this medicine? Is it helpful for the epidemic......? Show me."
Hearing this, Huang Qian suddenly stopped his movements, looked straight at Xiao Wu, was stunned for a while, and then turned around and went to the place where the medicine was stored, took a few pieces of curcuma, and was still grinding alone in his mouth.
"Curcuma has the functions of relieving depression, breaking blood stasis, breaking blood and qi, eliminating accumulation and relieving pain...... yes, why didn't I think of it...... I'm going to try it...... Hey, how do you know?"
Huang Qian, who had always been shallow and faint, was not calm anymore, and hurriedly began to prepare, his bloodshot eyes flashing with excitement.
Xiao Wu talked about the robbery of the pharmacy in general, and when it came to them that they also wanted atractylodes, realgar and rhubarb, Huang Qian suddenly stopped again.
"Judging from these herbs alone, it seems to be a cure, or a prevention of this plague, hey, can you get a formula?"
Xiao Wu has sent the robber for interrogation, hoping to get the formula, and told Huang Qian again, but also said that there is little hope, the two of them seem to be running errands, if there is really a formula, the two of them must know.
"Ah...... Oh"
Huang Qian's ahh twice, indicating that he understood, the formula seems to be not easy to get, so he can only rely on his own research and development.
Seeing that Huang Qian was busy again, Xiao Wu left quietly, and saw that patients were constantly being sent to the treatment station, and the dead were constantly being carried away, and she couldn't help but feel very sad in her heart.
Finding Xiao Wu leaving, Huang Qian shouted behind him, "Hey, you, come over and change into dry clothes."
"No more"
"Then you go back quickly, don't let him ...... Worried."
Xiao Wu waved her hand in response, she still had to rush to the city gate, she just changed the new token, then there may be some clues.
The day before yesterday, the token that had just been changed out of the city gate was not only very small, but also extremely tightly controlled, most of which were controlled in the hands of people that Zhou Dan thought he trusted.
The wealthy nobles who did everything possible to get the old tokens planned to take their families and sneak out of the city to avoid the plague, but they were all stopped one by one, not only could not get out of the city, but were also arrested by the guards, and their identities were strictly checked, saying that it was to prevent the thugs from sabotage from mixing in and sneaking out of the city.
For a while, the dignitaries and dignitaries who wanted to steal out of the city were all messed up, while showing their magic skills to get new tokens, while walking rumors, sending people to the city gate to make trouble, trying to create public opinion pressure, force the court to compromise, so that they can use the old tokens.
When she arrived at the city gate, Xiao Wu saw that three empty carriages were stopped, and the coachman and the chariot were taken away for questioning.
As soon as he saw Xiao Wu, the head of the guard snorted angrily, "Damn, it's really a thief, if you don't get a notice and temporarily change it to the officially designated prescription to transport medicine, you may be mixed out of the city by them again."
It turned out that there was no medicine in the city, which caused the price of medicine to skyrocket, and because of the profit, some people who went into the city to deliver goods began to smuggle medicinal materials.
Because of the urgent need for items in the city, the old general Nangong did not let him deliberately embarrass and detain them, so all kinds of vehicles transporting medicine suddenly increased.
The vigilant guards keenly discovered that the guys who followed the car to deliver goods out of the city gate had all kinds of appearances, and later found a woman in disguise, only to find that some delivery cars entering the city had impure purposes, and they were secretly entrapping people outside.
Xiao Wu didn't know these things, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
"Oh, they are delivering food to the city, and they are suspected of taking people out of the city, two days ago, most of the vehicles that delivered the medicine did this, but fortunately, they were notified that the officially designated dart bureau would transport the medicine inside."
Xiao Wu's heart was raised, could the big merchants have already gone out of the city in the dark? Will the people who secretly go out of the city bring the plague to all parts of the city?
