Inside the mayor's house in Qingquan Town——

After the town mayor Wu Zimin and Liu Ruyun negotiated, they prepared to leave for the pharmacy outside Zhou Yuanwai. But as soon as the mayor walked to the door, his stomach rumbled, he hurriedly smiled apologetically, and said to Liu Ruyun: "Dao Chief, please wait, my stomach suddenly hurts again." ”

The mayor said that, and hurriedly ran to the thatched house in the backyard. Liu Ruyun shook his head when he saw this, it seems that the medicine prescribed by Zhou Yuan is really not light, it has been almost three days, and he still hasn't eased up.

After the mayor was ready, the two went out. Along the way, I met many people, all of them had sallow faces and low spirits, and it seemed that the whole town was very sick, and even the cats and dogs raised by every household were lying listlessly on the ground.

Not long after, the mayor of the town took Liu Ruyun to the pharmacy opened by Zhou Yuanwai, and saw a long queue at the door, and many people crowded at the door waiting to buy medicine.

There weren't many guys watching the shop, only three of them, and one of the clever guys saw the mayor coming from afar, so he hurriedly ran out of the pharmacy and stepped forward to greet him.

"The mayor has come early in the morning, so I don't know what you are doing?" said the fellow to the mayor of the town in a respectful manner.

The mayor of the town glanced at him, and then said, "I have a stomach problem, and I have come to buy some medicine." ”

After hearing this, the guy hurriedly said, "Didn't I already send medicine to your old man the day before yesterday, could it be that you have already finished eating?"

When the mayor heard this, he glared at him angrily and said, "Hmph! Your medicine doesn't work at all, could it be that you used fake medicine to deceive me?!"

Questioned by the mayor of the town, the guy immediately quibbled when he saw this: "How can it be? Give the mayor your medicine, it must be the best medicine, or I will ask someone to give you a few more doses, and I will personally send it to your house?"

While the mayor and the guy were chatting, Liu Ruyun walked quickly into the pharmacy and looked at the condition of these patients, all of whom were in similar condition, all of them had symptoms of dysentery, and some even caused fever, vomiting and other conditions.

There was a woman holding a child in front of the counter, and she pleaded pitifully to Lang Zhong, who prescribed medicine: "Brother Zhang, please be kind and have mercy on our family! There is really no money at home, can you give me some medicine on credit?"

The child was crying incessantly in the woman's arms, and his stomach was dehydrated, and he seemed to have suffered a lot. The woman's dress was also in tatters, and she did not look like a rich family.

Lang Zhong, surnamed Zhang, sighed and said: "Sister-in-law, I didn't set the price of this medicine, all of this is Zhou Yuanwai's decision, please forgive me for not being able to help......

"But this medicine is too expensive, and it costs more than a hundred dollars to take it, and it will not be good for a child who does not have seven or eight doses...... "The woman pleaded again.

Liu Ruyun was shocked when she heard this, it was just an antidiarrheal drug, where could she use so much money, a dose of antidiarrheal medicine was only a dozen yuan in the sky, how could it have risen ten times here?

At this time, the mayor of the town also came over, and he quietly asked Liu Ruyun: "Dao Chief, I don't know much about this medical matter, do you think the price of their medicine is reasonable?"

"Of course it's unreasonable!" Liu Ruyun blurted out without thinking about it, "The price of medicine here is ten times that of normal conditions, and it only costs more than a dozen yuan to take an antidiarrheal medicine elsewhere, but it costs more than 100 yuan here, and the price is too exaggerated!"

As soon as Liu Ruyun spoke, the guy who followed the mayor immediately glared at Liu Ruyun, there was a little annoyance in his eyes, and more timidity.

Liu Ruyun ignored the eyes of those guys, he deliberately raised his voice, just to let the people at the scene hear clearly.

Sure enough, when the people in the pharmacy heard Liu Ruyun's words, they immediately looked at the guys and Lang Zhong in the pharmacy with suspicion. It's no wonder that since some people say that the price of this medicine is unreasonable, everyone wants to ask about it, and they don't want to suffer a dumb loss.

Seeing this, the clever guy immediately said loudly: "Please rest assured, there is no such thing as an indiscriminate price increase! Because dysentery came too suddenly, there are not so many medicines in the town at all, and the price of new medicinal materials imported from other places has also increased, so we are also forced to try not to lose money......

At this time, there was a young man waiting in the back waiting to see a doctor, so he said: "Come on! In the end, you haven't raised the price! Just tell me, how much medicine is left, and we have so many people here, can we afford it?"

One of the uncles also felt a little angry when he heard this, so he knocked on his crutches and said, "No! Since this Taoist chief said that the medicine is expensive, then we must let Zhou Yuanwai come out and give everyone an explanation!"

After hearing this, Liu Ruyun waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Folks, be quiet! Poor Dao is a Taoist of Yuqing Palace, and he also knows a little about medical herbs, so let me take a look for you folks, whether these medicines you take are effective!"

The name of Yuqing Palace is naturally known to everyone, even in this town, many people have heard of the name of Yuqing Palace, since the master of Yuqing Palace wants to see a doctor for the big guy, the villagers will naturally applaud after hearing it.

But the pharmacy guy stood in front of Liu Ruyun and said, "No, which green onion are you, how can we see this medicinal herb if you want to?"

Liu Ruyun's violent temper could not stand him so provocatively, and he just wanted to teach the guy who was talking nonsense a lesson, only to hear the voice of the mayor from behind: "You don't let me see it, is there a ghost in my heart?" The medicine you gave me is still fake, can the medicine given to other people be real?!"

Seeing that the mayor of the town had spoken, the surrounding people were even more angry, so they sent to beat those guys. The guys saw that the situation was uncontrollable, so they had to let Liu Ruyun enter the counter to check them one by one.

Liu Ruyun pushed away the guy in front of him, and checked a few medicines at random, but found that many of them were adulterated. There are a very few drugs that are not adulterated, because these drugs are all fake, and there is no such thing as adulteration or non-adulteration.

He looked at it for a long time, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he turned to everyone and said: "Many of your medicines are fake, and they are still sold so expensive, I really don't know how many sins the common people have suffered from you!"

This day hemp is completely fake, that is, it is made by peeling and peeling potato cubes. This white snake is obviously an ordinary grass snake, and you just dyed it on them. Most of this Qin bark is fake, and it is completely impersonated with tree bark. And this wolfberry, you dare to pretend to be raisins, are you really stupid to be a common man?!"

When the people present heard this, they immediately became angry and their hearts burned with anger. There is only one pharmacy in this town, and almost no one can recognize these Chinese medicines, if it weren't for the Taoist chief in front of them to uncover the truth for them, they don't know when they will be deceived.
