It was not until the evening that the doctor finally came to the inn. In order to prevent them from being exposed, Chaoge asked the innkeeper to buy some medicine on behalf of the other guests.
This silver was naturally given by Chaoge.
It was not until the third day that Moqi and his friends returned, bringing with them several carts of medicinal herbs.
Chaoge didn't have time to make detoxification pills, so he simply asked Moqi and others to set up a place to boil medicine in the vegetable market in the center of the county.
It is to let people publicize it widely and give away medicine for free.
For a while, those people who could not afford medicine rushed to the market after hearing the news, and surrounded the vegetable market.
"Miss, I thought you might not have enough manpower, so I brought some waiters to help."
Just when Chaoge was busy, the innkeeper came.
Looking at the dozen or so waiters behind the shopkeeper, Chaoge was a little surprised.
"Then thank you for your hard work, shopkeeper and everyone else."
The rich people in the county naturally don’t care about the free medicine.
In their opinion, this medicine boiled in a big pot is certainly not as safe as the one they buy from the doctor.
Even if it was said that the medicine could cure the symptoms within half a day, they would not believe it.
So they would rather take the medicine prescribed by the county doctor, even if it takes a few more days to get better, than take this free medicine.
With the cooperation of the government, the three medical clinics set up medicine stalls, but since Chaoge started giving away free medicine, very few people have visited them.
For a moment, the shopkeepers of the three clinics dropped their eyes to the ground!
They sold a dose of medicine for only one penny, but a person had to take at least three doses to recover.
As a result, they made a lot of money during this period.
At least 100,000 doses of medicine have been sold. Now suddenly someone appears to give away medicine for free. Isn't this blocking their way to wealth?
According to their original plan, in addition to all 100,000 people in the county town buying tickets, people from nearby towns and villages would also buy tickets.
This kind of epidemic occurs every two months, and they can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver.
And now, suddenly someone appears with medicine that is more powerful than theirs, and is willing to give it away for free. Wouldn’t those medicines they put in the water be in vain?
“How do you do things?
Now, these few days are the time when the most drugs are given, and about 50,000 to 60,000 people will be poisoned one after another.
Fifty or sixty thousand people. Even if it's fifty thousand, it would be fifteen thousand taels of silver by then.
How can I report to my superiors if you do this?"
The county magistrate called the managers of the three clinics together.
He was very dissatisfied with his income today.
Those antidotes were just the cheapest antidotes, and out of the fifteen thousand taels of medicine money, only one thousand taels of silver were used to make them.
After deducting these, there will still be 14,000 taels left.
Leaving aside the three pharmacies, each of which earned 500 taels, he would still have 12,500 taels left.
He got 2,500 taels, and used the remaining 10,000 taels to give as a tribute to his superiors. He continued the cycle in this way, earning almost 10,000 taels every month.
And now this opportunity to make a fortune has suddenly been interrupted. How could the county magistrate not be angry?
"Sir, this is not our fault.
We are all following your instructions, and if someone wants to be a sucker and give away medicine, we can't stop them!"
The owner of Zhang's Clinic looked helpless.
If it weren't for the coercion and inducement of the county magistrate, he would never have done such a conscienceless thing!
No matter what is said now, we are all in the same boat. What does this kind of thing have to do with them?
"Yes, sir, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing.
I heard that the person who gave away the free medicine was just an outsider who was just passing by.
Once she cures this group of people, she will leave.
We will continue to use the drug in the next batch."
The owner of Zhao's Clinic saw the angry face of the county magistrate and said nonchalantly.
He didn't want to take the risk of doing such a heartless thing and they only took a small amount of money.
In fact, he even hoped that the people who delivered the free medicine would continue to deliver it every day until the county magistrate completely gave up the idea, so as to avoid dragging them into this water.
"Oh, what a scene of a pair in cahoots. I can hardly bear to watch it."
Unexpectedly, just as the owner of Zhao's Medical Clinic finished speaking.
Suddenly, several men in black fell from the beam.
They stood there masked, holding swords in their hands, with murderous intent all over their bodies!
"Who are you! Come..."
Without waiting for the county magistrate to shout out his words, Mo Qi flashed forward, with his sharp sword already against his throat!
If he dared to utter one more syllable, he would die.
"If you don't want to lose your head right away, just shout."
"My fellow heroes, just tell me what you want. Calm down, calm down!"
When the county magistrate saw this scene, he was so frightened that his legs shook like sieves and his voice began to tremble.
He was afraid that if he was not prepared, his neck would really be broken!
The three shopkeepers were so frightened that they huddled together, trembling.
This is the study room of the county government!
These people can actually appear without anyone noticing.
He also listened to everything they just said. They are really finished this time.
If these people just want to extort money, it's fine, but if...
“If you don’t want to die, that’s fine.
As long as you explain everything obediently, reveal who is behind you, stamp your official seal on it, and add the confessions of the three of them, I can release you and your entire family, young and old, and everyone else's life."
When the county magistrate heard about the whole family's old age, he couldn't help but tremble with regret!
After saying that, Mo Qi placed a piece of white paper on the table.
Then he forced the county magistrate to sit on the armchair in front of the table and stuffed a mouthful of poison into his mouth.
The county magistrate was so frightened that he quickly picked up his pen and began to write.
But the hand holding the pen was shaking so much that he had to use the other hand to hold it before he could barely put pen to paper.
If the truth is revealed, he could die.
However, the lives of more than a dozen people in his family...
"Is this your confession?
Do you want your wife, children, and elders to all eat the poison you just took?"
Looking at the county magistrate, who put all the blame on himself without mentioning who instructed him to do so, Mo Qi lost his patience.
As he finished speaking, he raised his sword, and the trembling county magistrate's left arm was severed from his body, blood splattered everywhere, and he flew out and rolled at the feet of the three shopkeepers!
Perhaps it was because Mo Qi's sword was too sharp, the county magistrate didn't feel any pain at all.
But looking at the bloody scene and his own severed hand, his eyes went dark and he was about to faint...
Mo Qi was quick-witted and pinched his philtrum, and at the same time, kindly sealed the acupuncture point on his left shoulder to prevent him from losing too much blood and dying.
"Now, you can continue writing."
