Chapter 113: Reciprocity



The study room in the inner courtyard of the government office.

Xiao Jingzhou was writing at his desk when Lu Chen brought in a bowl of plain noodles.

Lu Chen placed the noodles on the desk and said, "Your Highness, please eat a bowl of noodles first.

This is the noodles that Mrs. Gu cooked for you herself. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jingzhou raised his eyes and saw a bowl of steaming noodles with a thin mist around it.

He frowned slightly: "My aunt has just recovered from her illness, why didn't you stop her?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Mrs. Gu is sincere and no one can stop her."

Xiao Jingzhou said: "Thank my aunt for me."

He took the chopsticks, picked up a handful of noodles and put it into his mouth.

The noodles were not delicious, but Xiao Jingzhou ate them with great relish.

...

...

This was the first time someone remembered to cook noodles for him since his mother passed away.

Halfway through eating the noodles, Xiao Jingzhou felt his eyes were sore from the heat.

He held the bowl and drank the last mouthful of soup.

Xiao Jingzhou put down the bowl and said, "Let's go. We still have to go to the clinic."

At the same time, outside the clinic where vaccinations were being given, five men were stealthily looking inside.

Ma Qing stopped an old man, asked a few questions and then ran to the corner.

"Fourth brother, that old man just said that there is a medicine from God in the clinic.

The doctor used a needle to poke a hole in his arm and poured some magic medicine into it.

From now on, we can prevent the plague and never get this damn fever again! ”

Several people had never heard of this, and one could drink medicine with his arms.

Zhao Si cursed angrily: "This is fucking weird!"

Several of them fled from the temple.

After escaping from Zhiyi City, the high fever did not subside.

I am almost delirious from the fever.

They decided that it would be better to die in Zhiyi City than to die outside, as there would be people to collect the bodies.

Unexpectedly, when I returned to the city, I heard that someone had recovered from an illness.

Only then did I start thinking about getting treatment.

Zhao Si looked at the people coming out of the clinic, each of them covering their arms.

He made up his mind: "Let's grab a few masks and put them on. We can sneak in and steal the medicine to drink ourselves.

If I get caught, the worst that can happen is death. Death from illness is death anyway, so I might as well give it a try! ”

Several people said in unison: "All listen to Fourth Brother!"

When they saw the people rolling up their sleeves to get vaccinated and looking at each other, they were all dumbfounded.

Ma Qing asked, "Fourth brother, what should we do?"

Don’t these people know how to give acupuncture?

It would be even more troublesome if you accidentally paralyzed yourself.

Zhao Si said unhappily, "Don't you see there are soldiers everywhere?"

"queue!"

The five people had flushed faces and lowered their heads as they lined up in the crowd.

Xiao Jingzhou, wearing a mask, strode into the clinic.

Zhao Si observed the movements around him, and when his eyes swept over Xiao Jingzhou, his heart skipped a beat.

He quickly lowered his head, his eyes a little evasive, ready to run out of the clinic at any time.

Xiao Jingzhou walked into the clinic and passed by Zhao Si and others.

His gaze lingered on a few people for a few seconds, then he continued walking forward.

Ma Qing stood in front of him and patted his chest: "That was a close call."

When Zhao Si saw Xiao Jingzhou, he felt that today was not a good day for acupuncture and planned to come back tomorrow.

He was about to leave the clinic with a few people, but he didn't expect that a dozen soldiers with long knives in their hands surrounded them.

Ma Qing only had a dagger in his hand, and his legs went weak when he saw this scene.

The soldiers quickly subdued the five people and took off their masks to reveal their faces clearly.

Yang Jin shouted, "Put all five of them in jail!"

The five men immediately looked ashen and had their hands handcuffed behind their backs by the officers and soldiers as they were escorted out of the clinic.

Haohao and his group walked out of the clinic.

Yang Jin walked up to Xiao Jingzhou and said, "Your Highness, these are indeed the five people who dismantled the temple and escaped."

Xiao Jingzhou looked towards the clinic gate and saw the disappearing figure.

He ordered: “Interrogate as soon as possible.

I want to know who is behind them! ”

"Yes, I'll do it right away!"

Several people were escorted to the prison, and Yang Jin immediately had people display torture instruments and began to interrogate them.

Half an hour later, the whipping sounds gradually stopped.

Chen Gan walked out of the torture room and went to the next room.

"General, I didn't expect these guys to be so stubborn and refuse to confess even if you beat them to death."

"I checked their mouths and found no traces of poison, and there were no calluses on their palms from years of martial arts training.

It looks like it has nothing to do with the riot at the temple and the deaths of several people. ”

Yang Jin snorted coldly and whispered something in Chen Gan's ear.

Chen Gan understood immediately and brought back the latest news in less than half an incense stick of time.

A smile appeared on his face: "The general is indeed as good as a god!"

"Ma Qing was a coward, so I threatened him a few times and he confessed everything."

He shouted, "Bring the men up here."

Ma Qing was lying on the ground with a bruised face.

He saw Yang Jin and quickly got up: "Sir, I confess, I confess everything!

Stop hitting me, or you’ll go to see the King of Hell! ”

According to Ma Qing's account, someone paid them to cause trouble.

He took out a piece of official silver and Yang Jin frowned as he looked at it.

Yang Jin asked someone to bring Zhang Da's portrait and asked Ma Qing to identify it, but got a negative answer.

Ma Qing recalled that the man did not speak with a local accent.

Rather, it sounds like the mixed accent of someone who has been traveling around for years on business.

Yang Jin detained the man and immediately went to the clinic to report to Xiao Jingzhou.

Inside the clinic.

After reading the confession, Gu Zhenbei guessed, "There may be someone hiding in the dark in Zhiyi City."

Xiao Jingzhou agreed with Gu Zhenbei's guess.

He thought of something and asked Yang Jin, "How is Zhang Da doing?"

Yang Jin said: "I sent someone to follow him, and he is under control.

That guy was very tough. All the people who followed him fell ill, but he didn't.

The dog is afraid of being caught and dares not get vaccinated. ”

Xiao Jingzhou said: "Have someone keep watching, Zhang Da will definitely make another move, and it will be useful if the big fish doesn't catch Zhang Da."

Yang Jin: “Yes!”

After a busy day, Xiao Jingzhou just returned to the inner courtyard.

Lu Chen said happily: "Your Highness, a letter from the gods."

Xiao Jingzhou took the wooden bowl and walked towards the study without looking back.

【I have great news for you.

The money for the vaccine has been collected!

I also made a profit!

Not only that, I also opened up a channel for selling Dajingchao artifacts.

It will be much easier to raise money in the future. 】

[The vaccine is divided into four doses.

You give each person a piece of paper to stamp to prevent counterfeiting.

Make sure everyone gets vaccinated and there are no duplications.

Have someone register it again to avoid mistakes. 】

Xiao Jingzhou looked at the letter with a slight smile on his face.

He had already told Doctor Yan about the registration.

He recorded the voice on his cell phone.

"Okay, I'll follow Miss Jiang's instructions."

Jiang Zhenyu put the phone to her ear, and when she finished listening to the recording, she felt half of her body numb.

poisonous!

Absolutely poisonous!

She patted her shoulders to ease the numbness.

The thought of Zhi Yicheng giving her an antique had to be transported by a truck.

All that was sent was money!

Isn't this a matter of reciprocity?

She recorded with her black phone: "The people of Zhiyi City gave me gifts, and I want to express my gratitude.

Tomorrow I will boil some water and treat all the people in the city to some meat to replenish their bodies! ”
