After Jia Ren walked away, he asked the constable beside him, "What exactly happened?!"
The constables quickly explained that Wei Huan had been poisoned.
"That jailer, Xiao Zhang, didn't think much of it. He thought Su Xing was an honest man, but he never expected that Su Xing would poison Wei Huan. The situation was urgent at the time, so Xiao Zhang didn't think too much and brought the man out."
Jia Ren frowned; he hadn't expected that Su Xing had poison hidden in his body.
"So how is Miss Wei now?"
"Miss Wei is still unconscious, we don't know how she is."
Jia Ren remained silent.
Even though they left the county government office, there were still some yamen runners guarding it.
Therefore, Su Xing must have other helpers in this city, otherwise he could not have escaped from the county government so easily!
"What about Zhong Changqing?"
The constable lowered his head and said, "They...they ran away too."
"Useless! I've truly raised a bunch of useless trash!"
Jia Ren felt frustrated, but he knew that getting angry wouldn't solve anything.
Fukang County is a large town, and it is very easy for someone to hide. There are only a few of them, so finding Su Xing and Zhong Changqing who escaped is like finding a needle in a haystack.
If that's the case, then we should quickly make it clear that Su Xing is selling fake medicine!
But before that, we still need to do the proper pretense!
"Give the order to everyone in the county office to go out and arrest the man. If they can't bring him back, they don't need to come back to the county office!"
Meanwhile, the busy crowd in the west of the city gradually encountered many problems.
At first, everyone was able to unite as one because they were shocked by the miserable state of the people in Fukang County. However, after only two hours of hard work, problems gradually began to arise.
"Can't someone come and clean up this excrement? Don't you know that the excrement of people infected with the plague can be contagious!"
The young master of the noble family covered his nose and gave orders to the yamen runners who were exhausted and hadn't slept for days and nights.
The yamen runners were initially obedient, but they couldn't stand being constantly ordered around by these young masters.
One of the constables slammed the bucket of excrement he was carrying onto the ground.
The excrement and vomit inside splashed high, spilling all over the ground and soiling the young nobleman's robe and shoes.
"I'm not your servant, why should I listen to you! You've only just arrived and you can't stand it anymore! I've been cleaning up after people for over a month! I'm the one who can't take it anymore! I quit!"
The bailiffs quit, which angered the young master from the noble family.
"I've lived a life of luxury since childhood, and I came all the way to Fukang County to help out, and this is your attitude?! If you're not going to work here, then I'm not going to serve you anymore! I'm going back right now, and I don't care whether you live or die!"
As they were about to leave, the constable sneered, "Ha! You're already in the city, and you still want to leave? You're not leaving! If we die here, you won't survive either!"
The young master of the noble family scoffed, "Who are you trying to scare! It has now been proven that Prince Yong'an's prescription is effective, and the plague in this city will disappear sooner or later! If you want to die, no one will stop you, but don't drag me down with you!"
"Yes, the prescription is effective, but are the medicinal herbs you brought enough? How many people can it cure? A hundred, or a thousand? Once the herbs are exhausted, we'll all die sooner or later!"
The yamen runner's words were like a boulder thrown into a lake, instantly creating ripples.
"If we don't have enough medicinal herbs, we can have them delivered!"
"Yes! We can have someone send it over!"
"I'll write home right away and ask my father to help prepare the medicinal herbs!"
…
Ignoring the filth, the constable stepped directly onto the excrement-covered ground and walked up to the crowd.
His voice was high-pitched, and his eyes were filled with despair.
"The medicinal herb business in the entire Jinzhou, and even the entire Qi Kingdom, is mostly monopolized by the Su family. With the plague in Fukang County being so severe and so many people dying, Su Xing wouldn't send over a batch of fake medicine unless he's an idiot!"
"Oh, by the way, you didn't think Su Xing only sent one batch of medicinal herbs, did you? He sent three batches! The magistrate found the counterfeit herbs in the last batch!"
"What does this mean? It means that Jinzhou has run out of medicinal herbs! Otherwise, it would be understandable if the first two batches of herbs were fake, but surely the third batch would be genuine!"
The plague in Fukang County is so severe that if Su Xing continues to make this ill-gotten gain, he will surely lose his head.
Therefore, once you realize something is wrong, anyone who isn't stupid should immediately send over the real medicine.
Hearing this, Li Xian, the county magistrate, rushed over, "What nonsense are you spouting! With your blockhead, what could you possibly come up with?! This is all just Su Xing's greed. How could Jinzhou not have medicinal herbs?! Otherwise, where did these young masters get the herbs they brought from?"
The constable was hit on the head by Li Xian. After a moment of stunned silence, he realized what had happened.
yes.
If there are no medicinal herbs, where do these young masters get their herbs from?
"So Su Xing is really a fool, willing to risk his life for money?"
Upon hearing this, Su Muxi clenched her fists and gave Mai Kun a wink. Mai Kun understood, stepped forward, and shoved the constable to the ground, covering him in excrement.
"I think you're the fool! If you don't want to die, get up and keep working! If you want to die, I can give you a quick death right now!"
Seeing Mai Kun's fierce and menacing appearance, the constable hurriedly got up from the ground.
If there is hope for life, who would want to die?!
However, the preparation and transportation of medicinal materials take time, but the current epidemic in Fukang County is urgent.
