Chapter 446 Calm

Song Jin left Qinjiagou and did not return directly to the provincial capital.

Instead, he went to stay in the pharmacy temporarily.

Yinlong's family lives in the pharmacy.

Before Song Jin had sorted out his emotions, he didn't want to go back to the provincial capital for a while. Yin Long noticed that Song Jin was in a bad mood, and took good care of him while she stayed in the pharmacy. She made medicinal food for Song Jin every day to nourish his body. In just half a month, Song Jin gained back the weight he had lost before.

Yinlong knew that Song Jin was divorced.

But he also knew about Qinjiagou.

The two still live together, and Yinlong thought that they had reconciled, but now it seems that is not the case.

"Aunt Long, you don't have to be so cautious. Just ask whatever you want to ask." Song Jin put down the herbs in his hand and spoke in a gentle voice, "But I still have to say that I'm fine now, really."

"I don't think you're well."

Yinlong felt distressed every time he saw the young lady, "It's very tiring to live alone in this world."

"Why am I alone? Don't I have Aunt Long?"

Song Jin smiled at Yin Long.

Yinlong felt relieved to see that she was still able to joke and laugh.

Song Jin knew what she was worried about, so he simply said, "Master Qin and I have been together for many years, and we have some feelings for each other. We are separated suddenly, and I can't help but feel a little depressed for a while, but my reason tells me that this choice is the right one. I need some time to adjust my mentality and adapt to the new life."

Recovery is a process.

Staying in the pharmacy, she would personally roast the herbs every day. In the process of being busy, she was still calm and often heard gossip from the outside world, including the news that Song Xiu was pregnant. Since she was pregnant before Old Liu died, no one gossiped about it. Some people even said that Old Liu was unlucky and that she was looking forward to holding Qin Juren's grandson when she was alive, and the grandson would come after she died.

Song Jin is selecting medicinal herbs.

Mu Ting was helping out, mumbling, "I just got some news this morning, I don't know if it's true or not."

"What news?" Song Jin looked up at her.

Yin Long laughed and said, "I guess it was a great victory for the imperial court. The Liu family's rebels were defeated, and the imperial court took back all the cities that they had lost before."

"That should be true."

Song Jin did not trust the court, but believed in Qin Chi.

Qin Chi knew about the Liu family's rebellion several years ago, so he should have made plans long ago. People outside only knew that the rebels were defeated, but the inside story would not be spread casually. In fact, as Song Jin guessed, Qin Chi had made plans in the early years, arranging some good players to lurk among the rebels and climb up step by step with their abilities over the years. Several of them, with their military exploits, mixed with the core figures and received orders to assassinate the rebel generals.

It happened almost on the same day.

Several rebel generals were either killed or injured on the same day.

For a time, the rebels were leaderless.

The imperial army seized the opportunity and launched repeated attacks. The imperial people lurking in the city took the opportunity to open the city gates, letting the imperial army into the city, and defeated the rebels.

Qin Chi's layout played a crucial role in the great victory of the imperial court. However, these things have not yet been spread. When the merits are rewarded one day, they will be made public.

Song Jin often heard news of the war in the south in the pharmacy, and occasionally heard a few words from Qin Chi. In fact, Song Jin did not do nothing. When she handed over her power to Shun'an Commercial Bank, she received a clue about Song Kuan.

“How credible is it?”

Song Jin looked at Xing Lun in shock.

Xing Lun added: "Ninety percent of it is true. The rebels secretly took Master Song to the capital. When they were near the capital, they were ambushed by a group of masked men. The news said that the masked men suffered heavy casualties and did not succeed in kidnapping him."

Song Jin calculated the time.

It was shortly after she and her child left the capital.

"Did you get this news from Shunan?" Song Jin asked in a tricky angle.

Xing Lun nodded affirmatively, "Yes."

Some of their subordinates and strongholds were taken over by Shun'an. One of them accidentally heard about it from Shun'an's people, and then passed the news back to Jifang, and then passed it to Xing Lun.

Song Jin recalled Qin Chi's abnormal behavior during those days.

It is very likely that he got the news about her father but hid it from her. As expected, he disappointed her after all. He must have known for so many years that finding her family was her obsession. Yet he hid such a big thing.

For the first time, Song Jin's trust in Qin Chi was breached.

Song Jin wanted to confirm one thing, "So, my father disappeared in the capital?"

"Yes, I heard that Lord Qin has been sending people to look for him."

Xing Lun reported the matter truthfully.

Song Jin immediately decided to shift his focus to the capital.

After the two discussed, Xing Lun left in a hurry. At present, many things needed Xing Lun to preside over. Not to mention the transferred power, even the things that originally belonged to the Song family, Song Jin returned them to the Song family without any nostalgia.

The current situation is uncertain, all we need is stability.

It doesn’t matter if business shrinks, Jifang’s biggest source of income comes from trading with its fleet.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Song Jin and Mu Ting returned to the provincial capital.

Lou Ruhan brought people to escort him.

On the way, they met some refugees, who were dragging their bodies and mouths, looking numb and skinny. When they saw Song Jin and others' carriage, some of them were eager to go forward and beg.

Lou Ruhan and others drew their swords and scared these people away.

Song Jin opened a window curtain, left a gap, and looked at the people fleeing on the roadside. He felt touched. When the world was in chaos, the first to suffer would be the people.

“Are there more refugees?”

Song Jin remembered that he hadn't seen him the last time he went out of the city.

Mu Ting said, "There was a war, so they should be fleeing from the war. The prefect of Huizhou is fine now. When he heard about the disaster, he immediately asked the officials of the government to build a thatched shed in front of the city gate for the disaster to stay. He also heated up the pot and reluctantly distributed food. Some families in the city also set up sheds to distribute porridge."

In the open space in front of the city gate.

The police built thatched huts to receive the refugees.

Doctors will come to check and prevent the plague. For refugees who have household registration and are not sick, someone will come to register them and then send them to various villages in Huizhou in a timely manner.

Everything is in order and orderly.

Song Jin knew that as long as the government did practical things, the people would have no worries about their livelihood. Often, what made the people suffer the most was the corruption and greed of officials, and they had no one to turn to for help when they encountered injustice.

The carriage stopped in front of the door.

After some inspection, we successfully entered the city.

The car was driving on the street, passing by two drug stores. Song Jin was surprised to see that most of them were closed.

"What's going on?"

Song Jin pointed to the closed shop door.

Mu Ting jumped off the carriage to inquire, and came back soon, "Boss, they say there is a shortage of medicinal materials in the city. It's not that the pharmacy doesn't want to open, it's that there are no medicinal materials, and the patients can't get the medicine."

"Go further."

Turn down a street.

In the past, as there was no doctor on duty at the Jifang Pharmacy, business was always average and only poor people came and went. But today, the Jifang Pharmacy is crowded with customers.

There was a long queue of people coming to get medicine.
