"Wait a minute, let me ask our doctor if they have any solutions. I don't know if they can completely help you! By the way, do you have any recently purchased ointments? The more recent the better!"
“My doctor said last time that although this ointment can cause hand ulcers, it shouldn’t be life-threatening. I suspect the ointment has been modified and some other ingredients have been added!”
“They definitely won’t agree to sell to us if we go there now, so we can only ask you for help.”
Hearing this, everyone was very enthusiastic, and many people took out the ointment in their hands. Although it wasn't a full box, they had all used some of it, but there was still some left in it.
One of them was even bought yesterday, and the owner had only used it once. Han Luoxue took it and said softly, "Wait a moment, I'll go back and get you the money!"
"No, no need, madam. You're doing this to help us, how can I accept your money?"
"That's right! Madam, we have a favor to ask of you. Could you sell us a little bit of Fu'an Ointment first?"
"Yes, madam, didn't you say before that Fu'an Ointment could effectively relieve symptoms?"
Hearing this, Han Luoxue frowned. It would definitely take some time to figure out a solution, and they had a considerable amount of Fu'an plaster in stock in their warehouse. Although they hadn't been open for business for the past few days, the people making the plaster hadn't stopped.
Han Luoxue knew that the plaster would definitely sell well, but it couldn't be sold indefinitely.
They didn't have enough manpower to make it. Although she was angry at these people for being greedy, she realized it was just human nature, something no one could escape.
"Sure, I'll talk to Fu'an Hall later. We can sell a little today, but it's limited. Each person can only buy one box at most, no more!"
When everyone heard that they could only buy one box, they were a little disappointed. However, they thought that one box would last for a while and could also help relieve their wounds, so they weren't so disappointed.
When Han Luoxue returned, Xiao Tao anxiously poked her head out: "Madam, are you alright?"
"It's alright, they came to me for help, their hands are all rotten, and now they know I was right. I can't be bothered with their business."
"But the lady is kind-hearted and agreed!"
"Sigh, there's nothing I can do!"
"Go to Fu'an Hall later and tell them to start selling plasters, with a limit of one box per person, to ease the situation outside first."
...
However, what Han Luoxue didn't know was that an uninvited guest had arrived in Yancheng at this time.
Upon seeing the man, Magistrate Wang knelt down with a thud, prostrating himself completely and not daring to lift his head.
"Your Highness... what brings you here?"
"What, can't I come over?"
The man wore a mask, and his voice was chilling.
The magistrate was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed: "That's not what I meant!"
"Hmph, so you do know I am His Highness?"
The man walked to the head seat and sat down with a cold and arrogant expression.
He was accompanied by more than a dozen men in black, all wearing masks and looking menacing.
"Has anything major happened in Yancheng recently?"
"No...no!"
"Everything is normal? Have any people from the capital come over?"
"It seems not!"
"I need to rest and recuperate here for a few days!"
Magistrate Wang hurriedly nodded and reserved the best courtyard for this person.
"Keep an eye on what's happening outside. If you see any new faces, be sure to investigate them thoroughly!"
When the magistrate left, his back was drenched in cold sweat. He hadn't expected the former crown prince to come in person.
The advisor watched his master cautiously from the side. After they had walked some distance, he glanced around cautiously and, finding no one in sight, asked, "Sir, what should we do now?"
"Watch your mouth! Don't say a single word that you shouldn't say!"
The magistrate's face turned cold, and his advisor quickly nodded, but he was still uneasy: "But this person... Your Excellency, the Crown Prince has been deposed, and the whole capital is looking for him. If we..."
Before the clerk could finish speaking, the magistrate kicked him: "Shut up! Don't forget how we got our good life. If something happens to him, do you think we'll still have a good life?"
The advisor was so frightened that he shook his head repeatedly and dared not say another word.
Even after returning to his residence, the advisor still felt uneasy.
That person used to be of noble status, having served as the crown prince for so many years. He was deposed some time ago and is now wanted by the court.
No one expected that the person they had searched all over the capital would suddenly appear in their Yancheng, and even at the county government office.
Although the magistrate told him it was nothing and that he didn't need to worry about it and just need to remain silent, he still felt uneasy.
It's alright that the former crown prince only stayed here for a short time, but if he were discovered, it wouldn't just be the county magistrate who would suffer.
He was just a secretary, and he could still be implicated. At best, he'd lose his life; at worst, his entire family might be wiped out.
Not many people knew when the Crown Prince arrived, but who could guarantee that he wouldn't be discovered?
Or perhaps there are people in Yancheng who have been to the capital before, or even who have met the Crown Prince...
Thinking of this, the advisor was filled with dread.
He even considered quitting. But he couldn't; if he didn't go, the former crown prince would definitely become suspicious. He was leading so many men in black; any one of them could easily kill his entire family.
The clerk was extremely anxious, pacing back and forth in the room, but he was at a loss.
We can't not do it, because doing it could implicate the whole family, the entire clan.
