Chapter 226 Zhao Simin Suffers the Result of Her Own Evil
Qi Yanzhou had been on guard against Zhao Meng for a long time.
He noticed it when Zhao Meng poured the medicine into his palm.
The medicinal powder came towards him, and he immediately waved his sleeves, using his internal force to shake off the powder while taking several steps back.
I didn't get any powder on me, nor did I inhale it into my nose.
Most of the powder Zhao Meng sprinkled fell on himself, and a small part fell on the soldiers behind him.
“Ahem!”
The powder was choking and coughing sounds were heard one after another.
Zhao Meng thought he would fail, but he didn't expect to be hit.
He took several mouthfuls of the powder and inhaled a lot of it. His body immediately started to feel hot, his legs became weak, and he could hardly stand.
Qi Yanzhou and the others' medicine powder dissipated, and he kicked Zhao Meng away.
Zhao Meng flew backwards and hit a tree trunk at the entrance of the town, then fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Before he could even catch his breath, a big foot stepped on his chest and crushed it hard.
The sound of ribs breaking could be heard.
He fainted from the pain, then woke up again in a flash.
The fear of death made him regret agreeing to Zhao Simin's deal, and he also regretted underestimating Qi Yanzhou.
"Master Qi, it was Zhao Simin who seduced me, which is why I was blinded by lust and did something stupid. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time."
Qi Yanzhou didn't expect that Zhao Simin was also involved, and the force under his feet became stronger and stronger.
"Speak clearly!"
Zhao Meng endured the severe pain and exaggerated the story of how Zhao Simin looked for him, accompanied him, and seduced him.
After saying that, he took out the medicine bottle from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Qi Yanzhou.
"There is some powder of Hehuanxiang and Mihunxiang in here. Master Qi can use it to take revenge on Zhao Simin."
As soon as he finished speaking, his hands suddenly became weak and the medicine bottle fell out of his hand.
Qi Yanzhou took the medicine bottle, picked up Zhao Meng, and said to the Chinese medicine soldier, "Follow me!"
The soldier's face was already red, and he was pulling at his clothes in annoyance. His legs were so weak that he had difficulty even standing.
Fortunately, the effect of the medicine had just begun to take effect and they were still conscious.
Seven people followed Qi Yanzhou into Dayang Town.
When Zhao Meng's personal soldiers saw him being carried in an embarrassing posture, they immediately blocked Qi Yanzhou's way and drew their swords against him.
"Let go of General Zhao, or don't blame us for being rude!"
Zhao Meng's ribs were broken and his body was shaking with pain. As the effect of the medicine had worn off, his lower abdomen was swollen so badly that it seemed like it would burst in the next moment.
He raised his hand with all his strength and waved it.
“Get lost!”
He guessed that Qi Yanzhou was going to take him to find Zhao Simin, and he was eager to have sex with her in order to detoxify the Hehuanxiang.
As soon as Zhao Meng spoke, his personal soldiers immediately put away their swords and made way.
As Zhao Meng expected, Qi Yanzhou went to the empty house where Zhao Simin was.
But it didn't happen as he expected, and she didn't throw him to Zhao Simin.
Instead, he was locked in a room with seven soldiers.
When the sound of tearing silk was heard, Qi Yanzhou brought Zhao Simin to the door of the room.
"Listen carefully, you're next."
There was no trace of anger in Qi Yanzhou's tone, but it made Zhao Simin feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She immediately knelt down and cried bitterly.
"Brother Yan, I can't survive anymore, so I have to use this shameless method to make a living.
Miss Ye offered five hundred taels to save one person, but my father only had enough money to save three people.
I am still so young and I don’t want to die. Please spare me for the sake of our childhood sweetheart relationship. ”
The noise in the room was horrible.
If she was thrown in, she would definitely be torn into pieces by those men and eaten until not even a scrap was left!
Qi Yanzhou ignored Zhao Simin's words and looked at her as if she were a dead person.
Zhao Simin was frightened by Qi Yanzhou's eyes, her face turned pale and her body trembled violently.
She shook her head slowly, tears streaming down her face. "Don't do this to me, please!"
But in response to her, Qi Yanzhou poured the remaining medicine powder into her mouth.
"You now have two choices, either run out and be toyed with by countless people, or stay here and be toyed with by the eight people in the room."
After saying that, he tiptoed onto the roof and returned to the pharmacy.
Zhao Simin immediately scratched her throat with her fingers.
"vomit!"
Some of the medicine was vomited out, but it had little effect.
At the beginning, she knew that Qi Yanzhou was a martial arts expert and ordinary medicines had no effect on him, so when she asked someone to prepare this bottle of medicine, she used the highest concentration of cassia bark and love fragrance.
As long as this medicine enters the throat or nose, the person will be affected. Medicine or other treatments will be useless and only special effects can cure it.
Zhao Simin's body quickly began to feel hot, and her consciousness was slowly being drained away. Her body seemed to have turned into a pool of water, and she had no strength left.
She was in so much pain that she couldn't help but shout out, "Save me!"
The eight people in the house rushed to the door immediately like cats smelling fish.
***
The pharmacy was a little far from the house where Zhao Simin was, but Qi Yanzhou could clearly hear her screams.
Many people were awakened and the shrill screams made them tremble.
Ye Chutang actually detected a different flavor.
She had just sat up and was about to get out of bed to see what was going on when Qi Yanzhou's voice rang out.
"Atang, it's nothing serious, have a good rest."
He was not thoughtful enough and should have given Zhao Simin some mute skills.
Guessing that Ye Chutang would be woken up, he came immediately.
Ye Chutang yawned, opened the bed curtain and asked, "What happened?"
Qi Yanzhou sat down on the edge of the bed, took Ye Chutang's hand, and said, "It's Zhao Simin."
He made a long story short about how Zhao Simin and Zhao Meng conspired to plot against him but failed.
"There are a lot of things going on tonight. The National Defense Army is busy and has no time to take care of the Zhao, Ye, and Chen families. Zhao Simin took advantage of this opportunity."
Fortunately, he was always wary of outsiders and did not fall into the trap.
Ye Chutang listened to Zhao Simin's screams and felt no sympathy at all.
"Fighting tooth for tooth, well done!"
After that, she leaned on Qi Yanzhou's shoulder and said, "Tomorrow, arrange for your brother-in-law to separate from the Chen family."
She believed that given the selfishness of the Chen family, they would definitely let Chen Shaoping's family go in order to save their own lives.
Qi Yanzhou also planned so.
Therefore, he only sent medicine to prevent the epidemic to his eldest sister's family of four.
"Okay, I'll go discuss it with my brother-in-law tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he let go of Ye Chutang's hand and stood up.
"Atang, have a good rest. I'll take care of everything. Don't worry."
Ye Chutang obediently lay down to rest.
"Okay, go ahead and get busy."
Qi Yanzhou returned to the pharmacy and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
Zhao Simin's screams lasted for an hour, from loud to hoarse, and then returned to silence.
I don’t know whether he couldn’t shout out or he fainted from the humiliation.
Qi Yanzhou suddenly thought of Zhao Chengyu.
He got up and went to the backyard, and asked Han Chong who was decocting medicine, "Where is Zhao Chengyu? How is he?"
Zhao Chengyu was seriously injured. If he didn't receive treatment to stop the bleeding and was afflicted with three kinds of diseases, he might not live to see the sun rise tomorrow.
He cannot die before the truth about the epidemic in Dayang Town is exposed!
Han Chong had been decocting the medicine for too long, so he was emitting a strong smell of medicine.
He said, “I locked Zhao Chengyu up alone in the cellar of the blacksmith shop.”
"Have you treated his injuries?"
Han Chong nodded. "I was worried that he would die too easily, so I simply bandaged his wounds and let him live a few more days in a state worse than death."
Qi Yanzhou patted Han Chong on the shoulder.
"Well done. I'll go check out the cellar at the smithy and be back soon."
Blacksmith's cellar.
Zhao Chengyu was lying on the ground like mud, his body heaving slightly, breathing heavily, it was obvious that his condition was very bad.
"squeak!"
The cellar door was pushed open, and he struggled to stand up with his arms and looked towards the entrance.
The light of the oil lamp approached Zhao Chengyu with the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs.
When he saw Qi Yanzhou's appearance clearly, he stepped back in fear.
His injured back pressed against the earthen wall covered with ironware, and he groaned in pain.
"You...don't come over here!"
Qi Yanzhou stood in front of Zhao Chengyu.
The dim light revealed his body which was shaking violently with fear.
The light reflected in the eyes was shaken and shattered.
"Whose idea was it to burn the city?"
Zhao Chengyu didn't dare to hide anything and immediately said, "It was the intention of the emperor and eunuch De. I am just taking the blame."
After saying this, he knelt down in front of Qi Yanzhou without caring about his dignity.
"I didn't do anything about Liangzhou. I was just pushed out to take the blame."
Qi Yanzhou certainly knew that Zhao Chengyu was just a puppet of the emperor and Eunuch De.
But he carried out the order even though he knew it was wrong, and he had selfish motives.
He raised his foot and stepped on the back of Zhao Chengyu's hand, crushing it with his toes.
"Don't make it sound so pitiful. You are so vicious and not innocent at all. Do you want to live or die?"
It is better to live a miserable life than to die.
Zhao Chengyu of course chose the latter, "I want to live!"
"Tomorrow, tell everyone the truth about the substitute plan and the epidemic in Dayang Town."
"You are forcing me to die!"
"You don't have to agree. Regardless of whether you admit it or not, it won't affect the overall situation."
After Qi Yanzhou finished speaking, he crushed Zhao Chengyu's fingers.
"Ah!lll"
He left the cellar screaming.
Yin hour.
Dayang Town is close to a big river, so even though the water level has dropped a lot, the air humidity is still very high.
The morning mist is the best time to burn medicinal smoke.
After Qi Yanzhou and Han Chong discussed the location for setting off the incendiary drugs, they ordered the National Protection Army to take action.
The medicinal smoke gradually dissipated until daybreak.
The air was filled with an unpleasant medicinal scent that was sour and bitter.
Zhao Meng appeared in the pharmacy with a pale face. He looked exhausted and his legs shook with every step he took.
Qi Yanzhou is cooking medicinal porridge, which can not only fill the stomach but also prevent infection with diseases.
He glanced at Zhao Meng and asked mockingly, "Commander, did you sleep well last night?"
Hearing this, Zhao Meng immediately recalled the painful experience of last night.
He immediately squeezed his buttocks together and said with trembling lips: "Thanks to Master Qi, I didn't sleep at all."
"You said it wrong. It's your own fault. You're suffering the consequences."
Zhao Meng did not refute.
He came to Qi Yanzhou to admit his mistake, not to deepen the conflict.
"Master Qi is right. I deserve it. I was wrong about what happened last night, and I have been punished. Can we now be even now?"
Qi Yanzhou stirred the porridge in the pot and said nonchalantly: "Let your people arrest the magistrate of Lai County and invite all the famous people to Dayang Town to disclose the truth about the epidemic."
When Zhao Meng saw that Qi Yanzhou had arranged something for him to do, he felt relieved.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away and complete the task before 9:00 p.m."
"Bring two thousand men to Dayang Town. I have other tasks for you."
Zhao Meng did not agree immediately, and asked worriedly: "Master Qi, my people are likely infected with the plague. If they leave the station, it will cause the plague to spread, right?"
Since he chose to be a "good man", he naturally has to consider the people of the world.
Suddenly, a light laugh came from the door.
It’s Sun Chu.
He didn't eat much last night and was woken up by hunger before dawn.
I smelled a faint aroma of rice amid the medicinal smoke and followed the smell to the medicine shop.
Then I heard Zhao Meng's hypocritical words.
"I only brought a plague-free field mouse last night. The troops stationed there were not infected with the plague. This is called making something out of nothing."
After telling the truth, he added another sentence.
"But it's hard to say whether you and your people have been infected with the disease."
Zhao Meng looked at Sun Chu with a smug look on his face and wished he could rush up and eat him alive.
He endured it again and again before finally swallowing the word "despicable" that was about to come to his lips.
After all, it was a good thing that his soldiers did not contract the disease.
He was too stupid. He was frightened by the plague and lost his composure, and fell into the trap of "creating something out of nothing".
If I had been calmer at the time, it would have been easy to find the flaw in Sun Chu's words.
The station is heavily guarded, and any intruder cannot come and go freely, throwing rats all over the station!
Thinking of this, he looked at Sun Chu and said, "Thank you for your advice."
Sun Chu ignored Zhao Meng and looked eagerly at the medicinal porridge in the pot.
“Can I eat now?”
Qi Yanzhou looked at the porridge that had been cooked into a soft and glutinous consistency and nodded.
"Okay, go get the dishes and chopsticks from the cart."
"Okay!"
Zhao Meng exercised for half the night and was very hungry, but he did not dare to ask for porridge.
He coughed lightly and said, "Master Qi, I have to get busy first."
After saying this, he closed his legs and left the pharmacy awkwardly.
When Sun Chu came in with the dishes and chopsticks, he also brought in the vegetables that were not finished last night.
"Just drinking porridge is too boring. I'll go make some cold dishes."
After saying that, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and went to the backyard with the dishes.
The National Protection Army in the backyard was still making medicine, but it was not as busy as last night, and many of the medicine jars were empty.
Sun Chu took a clean medicine pot, poured half a pot of water into it, and put it on the stove to boil.
I plan to use it to blanch the vegetables after the water boils.
While he was picking vegetables, Han rushed into the medicine shop.
"Master Qi, Zhao Chengyu wants to see you."
Before daybreak, he had already inspected all the cellars.
Qi Yanzhou didn't respond, but asked, "How are the people living in the cellar?"
"The people who didn't show any symptoms of the disease were in good spirits. The waiter at the teahouse who was the sickest was now in much better condition."
"It's good that the situation has eased. After the truth about the plague is made public today, you will take Zhao Meng's people to screen the nearby villages. If anyone has been to Dayang Town recently, immediately find out their whereabouts, identify the type of disease they are infected with, and carry out targeted prevention and treatment to prevent the disease from spreading further."
"Okay, my people are at your disposal at any time."
Qi Yanzhou nodded and served Han Chong a bowl of porridge.
"You've been busy all night, eat something first."
Han Chong knew that the bowls on the table were just enough for the Qi family and Sun Chu, so he quickly refused.
"No, my people are already cooking. It will be ready soon. I will arrange for them to rest in batches later, otherwise their bodies will not be able to hold on."
"Well, have you visited Zhao Simin?"
