Daxianguan

Chapter 499 Insidious and Vicious (Third Watch)
A county in Liangzhou.

Suddenly there was crying in a house.

"Come here, the child's father vomited blood and died, come here, help me."

"What's going on? This, how did it become like this?"

"I don't know. It was just plague yesterday, and it got better after taking the government's medicine. Why did it suddenly become serious again? Go to the doctor quickly."

"It's too late, people are out of breath."

"Hurry up, the doctor from the medicine store is here."

"Doctor, hurry up and see if it's still alive."

"What? It's because of improper medication that caused the illness, but, he didn't take any medicine. In the past few days, he just drank the soup and medicine distributed by the government for free."

"Ah, could it be that there is something wrong with the free soup?"

"Who says it's not? It's still the old saying. Cheap is not good. This medicine doesn't cost money. Can it be a good thing? I guess it's made from some inferior medicinal materials, or it's just not good at all. Symptoms, hey, one life is gone. How will this orphan and widow live in the future."

"We can't just leave it like this. Let's go to the government. It's their medicine that killed someone, so we have to ask them for an explanation."

"Yes, let's go together."

"What, there are other people who also died because of drinking the government's decoction. It seems that this is not a coincidence. It is even more necessary to ask for an explanation. Before, they only got Spring Plague. Although they were seriously ill, they were not fatal. , who would have thought that after drinking the soup that his government gave out for free, he would die, if he knew it, he would not be able to drink it even if he was killed."

"I can't drink it anymore. Go and tell your relatives and friends. No matter how sick you are, you can't drink the soup and medicine that the government provides for free. In this world, there is no good thing that doesn't cost money. It's really a crime."

"Come on, let's go to the government to ask for an explanation."

In this county, some people are really sad, some people have really suffered accidents, and some people are secretly fanning the flames to guide public opinion.

At the gate of the county mansion, there are more than a dozen dead people lined up, covered with white cloth, all of them died suddenly today, and they all said that they died after drinking the decoction issued by the government. There are hundreds of people at the gate, Moreover, the number of people continued to rise as the number of people passed on from one to the other.

At first, officials from the county government came out to explain, but no one listened. Later, after being beaten with rotten vegetables and eggs, they had no choice but to flee back, and no one dared to come out again.

No one listens to or believes the government's explanation, so no one explains it, and the rumors are even stronger.

The same situation is not only happening in this county, it is also happening in other counties, villages, and even in the city.

In some places, the people were still restrained, but in some places where the folk customs were strong, the situation was much more severe. In the end, even the county soldiers and city guards were dispatched.

This matter was brewing very quickly, and when it was reported to the state capital, the matter was already out of control.

It can be said that there is a big trouble.

Li Ji's face was extremely ugly, and he urgently consulted with Chu Xian overnight to discuss countermeasures. After Chu Xian knew about it, he was silent for a moment, and his face was already full of murderous looks.

Obviously, Chu Xian knew that this kind of thing was definitely not a coincidence.

That's someone secretly plotting, secretly laying out.

And the other party obviously didn't take human life seriously, which was the reason why Chu Xian was angry.

"Lord Inspector, things are getting serious now. According to reports from various places, thousands of people have died of accidental illnesses due to drinking the official decoction this time. In my opinion, the distribution of decoction should be stopped immediately to avoid further problems." Li Ji said at this time.

Chu Xian nodded in agreement.

Obviously, this opening has to be sealed for the time being, but Chu Xian doesn't think there is something wrong with the decoction issued by the government, because the prescription is absolutely impossible to eat the dead, there is absolutely no doubt about it.

Chu Xian is proficient in medical theory, so of course he can be sure of this.

Therefore, the common people who died must be due to other reasons, but the common people did not understand and were fooled, so they really thought that there was something wrong with the soup and medicine distributed by the government.

Therefore, in order to cause trouble again, it is a last resort to temporarily stop dispensing the decoction.

"Even if it is stopped, the troubles that have already been caused will not be saved. This time, Jingzhou will definitely punish it." Li Ji sighed.

Chu Xian nodded: "This is the case with being an official. Even if it has nothing to do with you, or even not your responsibility, you must shoulder what you should bear, and it is my order to distribute soup and medicine to the people. Even if the higher-ups are to blame, I, the governor, will bear it all."

When Li Ji heard this, there was a touch of emotion in his eyes, as well as a trace of guilt.

He was indeed only thinking about himself just now, and what Chu Xian was thinking about was still the people of Liangzhou, so Li Ji took a deep breath and said, "Master Inspector, I am the chief governor, in charge of internal affairs, and the one who distributes the soup medicine, I also nodded Yes, so, Li Ji will not stay out of this kind of matter, it's just how to clean up this mess now."

Chu Xian glanced at Li Ji, and suddenly asked, "Do you think this incident was a coincidence, or was it done on purpose?"

Li Ji was stunned.

Then he said sternly: "If this is the case in only one place, it is a coincidence, but it is absolutely not a coincidence if it is the case in all places, then there must be someone behind the scenes."

Chu Xian nodded: "That's right, I think it's Yao Wangguan who is behind the scenes."

Li Ji pondered for a moment: "If there is evidence, we can directly dispatch troops to arrest all these black-hearted Taoist priests, but we don't have evidence. Without real evidence, we can't act rashly, otherwise these guys will definitely beat us up."

Chu Xian said coldly: "Those gangsters behind the scenes are determined. Even if they did this, they are sure that because there is no evidence, I, Chu Xian, can't do anything against them. It's a pity that they picked the wrong opponent and miscalculated me. Chu Xian’s behavior style, Li Changshi, you issue an order in the name of the state government to immediately seal down all the medicine shops of Yaowangguan in Liangzhou. You can think about the reason, you can do whatever you want, just say you want to check the tax bill, or else In short, I request that from now on, the medicine shop of Yaowangguan is not allowed to sell a pack of medicine, and I want them to never earn a tael of silver from now on."

When Li Ji heard this, his frightened face changed: "Lord Inspector, do you have to consider this matter? If you really do this, it will be considered a full-scale war. Although we are the government, we are not afraid of a mere chamber of commerce, but the medicine king Behind the temple, there are also high-level officials who support it. If the people cannot buy other medicinal materials because of the closure of the medicine shop of Yaowang Temple, if this matter is not handled properly, the higher authorities will blame it, and it will be worse for us. "

Chu Xian laughed: "There is no need to worry about this, I have my own way, as for a full-scale war? Are they worthy? Now, I, Chu Xian, are going to deal with them, not only Yaowangguan, but also De Ruixiang, including all the so-called six alliances. The Chamber of Commerce, there is one, count as one, I, Chu Xian, want them to collapse directly, I want to let them go bankrupt, when the time comes, they want to stop, want a truce, I Chu Xian will not agree, immediately seize it, if someone gives you The pressure is all on me."

When Li Ji heard this, his blood surged up, and he immediately said: "Okay, I will arrange it now, I have seen these unscrupulous businessmen upset, for the sake of gold and silver, they will do everything. Traveling under various laws, it is difficult for people to get caught, but in the end, we are officials and they are people. We are thinking about the overall situation and the majority of people, so we really want to deal with them. Any reason is fine. To seal up their drug store, even if they suspect that a key criminal in their drug store will be fugitive in the future, you can seal him up for ten and a half months."

After finishing speaking, Li Ji went to work with a murderous look.

In fact, it would take a lot of risk to do this, but Chu Xian did not regret it, and there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and the Six League Chamber of Commerce was simply a huge cancer that had to be eradicated.Since Yao Wangguan dared to take the lead, let's take him first.

At times like this, Chu Xian will never be soft-hearted or hesitant, what he wants now is decisiveness.

Chu Xian wanted to use this method to tell them, I am an official, you are a citizen, and I want to punish you, there are as many ways as a cow's hair.

Of course, Chu Xian is not completely acting on his own will, he will not mess around, if he really shuts down hundreds of medicine shops indiscriminately, and in the end he can't come up with any valid reason, then he will definitely be punished by the superiors.And because now in the state, Yaowangguan has the most medicine stores, accounting for more than [-]% of the medicine business in the market, so if they are banned, how will the people buy medicine?

However, since Chu Xian expected that Yao Wangguan was responsible for the death of the common people this time, then Chu Xian would not be relentless. Most importantly, Chu Xian has the confidence to find out the truth, and at the same time, quickly fill the seal. The vacancy in the medicinal material market after the drug king view is dropped.

At the moment, Chu Xian went to Li Ziwan first, and asked her to contact Jingzhou Qijia Commercial Firm immediately, and asked the Qi family, including some big chamber of commerce presidents, to come to Liangzhou immediately, and said that they had a big business deal with them, but it was too late. no more.

Li Ziwan knew that Chu Xian was going to make a big move, so he did it right away.

After confessing to Li Ziwan, Chu Xian found Chu San.

"Chu San, you immediately take a hundred elite soldiers from the state capital and go out with me. Let's go to Tang County." Chu Xian said.

Tang County is the most noisy and deadly county. It is said that even the county magistrate was beaten by the people, and the cauldron for boiling medicine was smashed to pieces.

Moreover, Tang County was the first place where the accident happened, so the breakthrough point Chu Xian chose was Tang County.

This time, Chu Xian hurried on his way immediately. Chu San was going to march with 100 people, so the speed was relatively slow. Chu Xian decided to divide his troops into two groups, and he himself used the black wind change to transform into a bird and flew fast first. To Tang County.

In this way, within an hour, Chu Xian had already arrived in Tang County.

Because time is running out, the people in Tang County are still gathering at the gate of the county mansion, the number has exceeded [-]. In front of the gate of the county mansion are several rows of county soldiers with knives on their waists and spears. Thanks to the mobilization These county soldiers came over, otherwise the angry people would have rushed into the county government.

　Ask for tickets, ask for recommendation tickets!
