Chapter 62
As soon as he heard that the antidote was released, Chu Xuan immediately brought a group of people over. After verification by the imperial physicians, he confirmed that the antidote was indeed effective for the epidemic.

Chu Xuan and all the imperial physicians were overjoyed, and immediately started applying medicine.Chu Xuan first manually copied several copies of the researched prescription, and then sent people to distribute it to the imperial physicians who were in charge of boiling the medicine in the catering room, and ordered them to speed up overnight to cook enough medicinal soup, and then handed the soup to the soldiers for epidemic prevention They carried the wooden barrels containing the decoction and distributed the decoction to the people infected with the disease one by one.

"Bitter! I won't drink it, I won't drink it..." Some children couldn't stand such a bitter concoction, so they played petty temper and refused to drink the medicine.

The young woman held the little boy in her arms, and patiently persuaded him: "Hey, he will only get better after drinking the medicine. There is only a little left, let's drink it up, don't waste it."

"No! It's so bitter, I don't want to drink it! Mom, I don't want to drink it, it will kill the child!"

"What nonsense, if you want to get better, you have to drink, come on, mother feed you."

The young woman brought the concoction in the bowl close to the little boy's mouth again, and the little boy turned his head away in disgust, then brushed the woman's hand away.

"Wow!" The soup spilled all over the floor, and even the brown-black pottery bowl was broken.

"You, you unfilial son!" The woman was also angry, and she pulled the little boy across the face and slapped his ass.

As a mother, she hopes that her son will get better than anyone else. She managed to grab a bowl of medicine. She didn't even care about her own illness, and she just wanted to feed him. Who knows that this unfilial son is so I don't know good and bad, so I wasted this life-saving medicine for nothing!

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." However, it immediately became red and itchy, so he cried louder and louder.

Looking at the tearful son, the young woman's heart softened, and she stopped beating and scolding immediately. She sighed helplessly, straightened her appearance and walked to the soldier.

"Officer, can you give another bowl of that medicine to the woman?"

The soldier looked at the woman's rotten face, thinking that she was seriously ill. He tried hard to suppress the discomfort in his stomach, and frowned displeasedly: "There is only one bowl of this medicine for each person, and there is no more. If I give it again You have a bowl, if other patients drink the soup without medicine, then they will cause trouble for me, who should I talk to for reasoning?"

The young woman looked distressed, and when she thought that her son's illness might not be cured, she cried bitterly and knelt down and begged: "Master, why don't you bring me the bowl of soup and medicine that the woman gave to my son? I am an adult." It doesn't matter, but that child is the incense of my husband's family, so I can't stop it."

"No, the little medicine boy next to King Wei said that the physique of an adult is different from that of a child, so the dosage of the medicinal materials in the soup is also different. If I give you your share in advance, when the time comes You fed your baby, and I can't take responsibility for something wrong with his body."

How could the young woman listen to this, she only knew that her son could not drink myrrh, so she kept crying and begging: "Officer, please, please give me another bowl of soup and medicine, please... ..."

Seeing that she was so difficult, the soldiers chased her away: "Go, go, don't make trouble for me, get out of the way, don't block my way, if it is because of you that everyone is delayed from taking medicine, then the superior will blame you Come down, don't blame me for letting you eat and walk around!"

"Officer, I beg you to be merciful and agree to the woman's request..."

Xu Ruqing also joined the spraying team. Holding a long-handled iron spoon in her hand, she walked into the tent carrying a wooden barrel half as tall as herself.

When she heard the movement, she came to the center of the tent, looked at the woman holding the soldier's thigh, and asked suspiciously, "What happened here? Why is she crying?"

When the soldier saw that it was Xu Ruqing who came, he immediately showed a fawning smile on his face: "So it's the young master, this woman is so greedy that she wants me to give her another bowl of decoction, but the rules clearly state that one bowl is for each person. This is also to follow orders. She saw that she came from the countryside, and those who came from the countryside are greedy, and the young master completely ignores such ignorant and troublesome people."

Xu Ruqing frowned upon hearing this, looked at the distressed woman, and then at the medicinal soup spilled all over the floor, after a little thought, she understood what happened just now.

She looked at the soldier with a bad face: "What a slave who sees people as inferior! I recognize your attire. I think you also work under Master Chu. I didn't expect that there is such a kind person as you around the kind-hearted Master Chu." A snob."

The soldier was ashamed of what he said, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face: "Young master, what you said is too much. The subordinate is acting on the orders of the superior, and I also consider other people. How can I become the subordinate's fault?"

"My son, I heard that Master Chu spent a lot of real money to buy medicinal materials out of his own pocket for this disaster relief. After the antidote was born, he said that the medicine should be comprehensive, and make sure that every commoner can drink enough soup and medicine. ..."

Xu Ruqing walked around the soldier, and then stopped in front of him and stood up: "So tell me, which lord did you order? Which lord has such a big official face that he dares to disobey lord Chu?" The willingness to neglect the people? Is Master Chu being inconsistent, what he said and what he did are not the same thing? Or is it that the money for buying medicine was embezzled by some of you corrupt officials, so you treat the people harshly, and the supply of medicine is in short supply? !"

The soldier was taken aback by Xu Ruqing's words, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead.He only knew that the petite person in front of him was the drug boy next to King Wei, but he didn't know that she had such extraordinary intelligence, and he guessed that one of them was embezzling disaster relief funds.

Chu Xuan had already arrived outside the tent, and he could hear everything that happened in the tent just now.After so many years of turbulence in the officialdom, he naturally knew that what Xu Ruqing said was probably the truth.

He opened the curtain and walked into the tent, and said to the soldiers: "Call everyone here, my lord should investigate carefully, who has the courage to embezzle the silver taels used for disaster relief!"

The soldier knelt down, trying to divert his attention and get away with it: "My lord, my subordinates are not afraid of the oblique shadow, and are willing to..."

Unexpectedly, Chu Xuan stared at him: "There's so much nonsense, hurry up!"

"Yes..." The soldier had no choice but to bite the bullet and say yes, and hastily reported the news to the adults assigned by the imperial physician who secretly stole the money.

After the soldiers left, Chu Xuan stepped forward to apologize and said, "It's all a humble job to discipline the subordinates, and I made the young master laugh."

"It's okay, Mr. Chu should find out this matter as soon as possible, so that it will be good for the people and everyone."
