After Waking up Beside the Villain

    Since the beginning of summer, Haicheng has less fog and fumigation. Early in the morning, the sun hits the east and climbs up. It is bright everywhere, even the narrowest corners in the deepest alleys. Sprinkled with orange glitter.

    The wood-wheeled cart that poured the fragrance of night away quietly walked away from the corner, and the breakfast shop on the street set up a stall, and the number of pedestrians gradually increased.

    The store door of Jihetang on the corner of the street has not yet opened, and there are already many people waiting at the door.

    Most of these people are rickety, skinny, with sallow complexions, all of them like ghosts smoking a cigarette. But in fact, many smokers are not like this. At least before the family is completely defeated, they still have decent clothes on their bodies. Unlike these people, their rough sackcloths are all starched and washed white, and their faces are all sad.

    There are also some alternatives, the clothes are neat and proper, and there is not much anxiety.

    Most of these shopkeepers Liu recognized, they were servants or long-term workers of some nearby wealthy families who were sent to buy medicines for the main family.

     "Those newspapers outside talk about equality every day. For me, people are really unequal."

    In front of the newly opened medicine cabinet, shopkeeper Liu counted the things on the cabinet for the last time, and said in his mouth: "If there is such a equality, then only this life, old age, sickness and death..."

    The lanky guy was cleaning next to him, listening silently.

    There is a layer of curtains inside. Today's sitting doctor just came, looked out and said, "Lao Liu, is it late today?"

    "It's half an hour late," Shopkeeper Liu closed the book and said, "These pills and medicines are sold too fast, and the goods will be late. Today's batch is late."

    The doctor in the hall said: "These things are extraordinary, I bought them back, and I haven't researched the way out so far. It must be a secret recipe. I don't know which family, even sold this thing, This is a treasure that can be heirloom! Your Jihetang is really lucky, and you can't stop it. If these Chinese patent medicine recipes were not sold to Peiyuantang, you would be the only one in the family."

    "Lao Liu, as I said, since you Jihetang don't value this profit so much and are willing to sell these medicines to the poor at low prices, then you have the idea of ​​saving the world and saving people. That being the case, why should the prescription be made public, why should it be held in one's own hands?"

    "Hypocrite, hypocrite!"

     Shopkeeper Liu laughed, sneering in his heart, but he did not speak up.

      It won't be the common people outside who can't get enough to eat and are thin to the bone.

    He is indeed not a good person, and he has no good intentions, but if he can save one more person within the scope of his ability, he can save the person who should be saved, that is a good thing, and it is something he is willing to do.

    Moreover, no one knew that Jihetang, which opened all over Haicheng County, and Peiyuantang, which sporadically opened in the concession, belonged to the same family.

    The pills and medicines that caused a lot of noise as soon as they were sold, also came from the same source.

    If it wasn't for them and Peiyuantang's tit-for-tat confrontation, other Yaotang pharmaceutical factories would not have been sitting on the mountain to watch tigers fight until today, waiting to be fishermen, without much fanfare to intervene in this batch Chinese patent medicine.

      The number one pulse in the curtain sees a doctor, so he just comes to the new cabinet and opens his mouth to take medicine.

     "Treasurer, come three bottles of antipyretic pills!"

    "Me too! Shopkeeper, my child has a fever. I heard that antipyretic pills can reduce the fever. Can you take some for me?"

    "The shopkeeper, do you have the anti-inflammatory powder today? And the one for treating tuberculosis and relieving cough..."

    The front of the new cabinet was crowded with people, and the two guys skillfully arranged the line up. Even so, the Jihe Hall was still crowded and noisy, only the shopkeeper Liu was so steady, and no matter how noisy the surroundings were, he still raised his voice and asked the people who came to get the medicine one by one.

    "Some medicines can only be taken after consulting a doctor, and medicines can't be taken indiscriminately... You can buy antipyretic pills. There are a lot of them today. How many bottles do you want?"

    "It takes at least three meals to see the effect, so there's no rush. If it's so immediate, it's not a medicine, it's an elixir!"

    "You can't tell what your illness is, you can't get medicine, go to the doctor..."

    Manager Liu was busy all morning, and his throat was smoking, so he took advantage of the free time to let a guy he valued take over his work, went to work in front of the counter, and sat down Take a break for a while and drink a sip of tea to moisten your throat.

    Three bowls of tea in a row, Shopkeeper Liu was about to squint and take a nap, but suddenly there was some movement outside.

    "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

     Immediately after, three or five policemen walked in, and the first one spoke authentic Haicheng dialect, looked around without a smile, and said, "Manager Liu, business is booming."

    Manager Liu recognized the section chief of the security department, and he was in a bad mood, so he got up in a hurry, took out a ticket from his sleeve and stuffed it, and said, "Senior Wang, why do you come here? One trip?"

    "If you have an accident here, of course you have to come here. Not only do I want to come, but you also have to come with me." Section Chief Wang collected the ticket and raised his chin , Immediately, two police officers came to hold the shopkeeper Liu down, and they had to take it out.

    Treasurer Liu was startled and hurriedly said, "Senior Wang, Section Chief Wang! Nothing happened in Jihetang these days, you..."

    "Nothing happened? You mean, I made a mistake?" Chief Wang narrowed his eyes and sneered.

    Manager Liu was in a cold sweat: "I dare not..."

    Department Chief Wang sneered: "We handle cases impartially and never wronged anyone. Naturally, we have a reason to arrest you. This morning, our Haicheng County Police Station took the murder case, treasure. Cai Mansion on Ping Street, Master Cai's third concubine is too gone, after a lot of investigation, we found out that it was your fake medicine."

    Although shopkeeper Liu had expected this kind of situation for a long time, when he heard this, he still gritted his teeth with hatred.

    He tried hard to explain: "Senior Wang, Jihetang has a good reputation for many years, and will never sell fake medicines, or even kill people..."

    Senior Wang raised his voice and cut off Shopkeeper Liu's voice: "Well, if everyone eats to death, how could it not be fake medicine!"

    He glanced around and saw that people inside and outside the store were talking, and then he waved his hand with satisfaction: "If you take away the people and these fake medicines, the store will be closed first."

    After a while of kicking, looting, looting, and searching inside and outside, several police officers took Shopkeeper Liu and two clerks and left, leaving only the mess inside and outside the church.

    Almost at the same time, the Peiyuan Hall in the concession was also sealed up by the family due to the sudden death of an old man who was lingering on the bed, and he was locked in the patrol room.

    When Boss Meng got the news, he was doing accounting in one of his business firms. He heard the sound and threw the account book, got in the car and drove out. By the time Yu Jingzhi was found at the private hospital on the edge of the French Concession, Meng Wangda was already sweating profusely. Under the scorching heat of the noon sun, he could hardly breathe.

    "There is no news about the free clinics in the countryside, and those outside Haicheng, so it should have no effect. But Jihetang and Peiyuantang are both planted...Sir, this is a manual effort. Weird."

    Meng Wangda took the tea handed by Lu Yun, thanked him, and whispered to Yu Jingzhi: "The patrol room in the concession has also moved, and half of it belongs to Du Tianming's old bastard. The power is very insidious. But on the side of the county police station, you ceded it to the Jiuliu Association the year before last, so there should be no trouble."

    "Don't tell me?"

    The Jiuliuhui, as the name suggests, is mostly a group of forces formed by the lower Jiuliu of Haicheng. Taking refuge in Yu Jingzhi is equivalent to a subordinate force.

    Yu Jingzhi sat on the chair in the lounge, looking through the clinical records of the two days.

    Two days ago, Chu Yunsheng walked out of the closed laboratory and told him about the daydream. Afterwards, in order to verify whether this daydream was true or not, he secretly came to this private hospital, which had just opened for less than two months, with Chu Yunsheng and a small amount of medicine.

    The Chinese he read in college can't understand these medical things, but he can still understand some clinical records. At least, he could very intuitively see the success of this antibiotic in these carefully selected patients.

    The first antibiotic for foreigners was called penicillin, also known as penicillin, which was announced two years ago. rare. As for the country, I only heard of his name, but I didn't see his body, that is, with Yu Jingzhi's power, when he was in the honeymoon period with foreigners before, he couldn't get one.

    And now, it finally appeared in the hands of Yu Jingzhi, not from foreigners, but from Chinese.

    Of course, Meng Wangda, who came here to find Yu Jingzhi, didn't know this, he knew that Yu Jingzhi was here, just because the hospital was opened in the name of Chu Yunsheng, and Yu Jingzhi Jing Zhi Wai did not shy away from the fact that the name of this hospital was linked to him, and even if there were any minor illnesses or injuries, he would not even hire a private doctor, but came here specially.

    Some things are better kept in the dark than they are on the bright side.

    Yu Jingzhi listened to Meng Wangda's voice, and said indifferently: "The Jiuliuhui is not monolithic."

    Meng Wangda frowned.

    Yu Jingzhi closed the book in his hand and said: "The reason why the Jiuliuhui is with me is that the interests are sufficient, and friendship is second. Now that there are people who have given greater benefits, there are some people who It's normal to have changed. Of course, there aren't many of these people, but it's just a pity that the Jiu Liuhui."

    Meng Wangda hesitated: "Then Xue Hongniang and Jiuyanzhang..."

    Xue Hongniang, the manager of the Paramount Ballroom, who was a prostitute, and Jiuyanzhang, who opened an antique shop for three days of fishing for two days .

    Lu Yun said, "Xue Hongniang has been missing from Paramount for a day and a night. Someone finally saw her and said she went to the French Concession. There is no news from Jiuyanzhang."

    Yu Jingzhi leaned back in the chair, smiled, and said, "Jiuyanzhang is a famous thief king in Jinling and Haicheng. It's not a big deal when there is no news from time to time. If something happened today, he probably can't sit still. If he doesn't want Jiu Liu to disperse, he will take the initiative to come to us in the next two days."

    Meng Wangda sighed: "We have been low-key and cautious enough about Chinese patent medicine, but the effect of these pills and medicines is amazing, and the high fever that is usually not subsided in a few days, three It can be solved with a pill, and even tuberculosis has a cure, and it is unusual to stop the bleeding... This is no matter how low-key it is, it cannot be hidden."

    "I expected this to happen, but I didn't expect it to be a problem with the Jiu Liuhui."

    Yu Jingzhi shook his head and said, "It's more than a problem with the Jiu Liuhui."

    Meng Wangda was startled, looked at Yu Jingzhi, and seeing that Yu Jingzhi did not intend to elaborate, he tentatively said: "Sir, are we acting too fast or too attractive now? Did you notice some?"

    Meng Wangda is Yu Jingzhi's confidant and has long known about Yu Jingzhi's various plans, whether it is for Haicheng or other places.

    But those plans are all carefully followed step by step, for fear of detonating things that should not be detonated when they are still immature, causing great trouble and falling short.

    But now the thing about Chinese patent medicine seems to have changed that.

    Raising her hand and pressing her forehead, Yu Jingzhi's gaze turned to the tall phoenix tree soaked in the scorching sun outside the window.

      The old club Adams and the Haicheng government, the newly split Jiuliuhui, the progressives in the Oriental News, and many other small waves, and those that have not yet entered the water."

    "I have a hunch, we don't have that much time. The water in Haicheng is going to be completely muddy. It's a human being or a ghost. It's going to come out for a walk."

    Without the arrival of Chu Yunsheng, Yu Jingzhi didn't know what he would choose to do in such a situation, but now, he has Chu Yunsheng.

    Meng Wangda stopped talking.

    Yu Jingzhidao: "It's not necessarily Du Tianming behind the Chinese patent medicine matter, it's more likely that Pete. They won't get the prescription and won't let it go, but this itself is a need" Forced to push things on the table, I need proprietary Chinese medicine to bear in front."

    This matter is not so much a case of other people behind the scenes, it is better to say that it is Yu Jingzhi's plan.

    When you judge that a person is wearing a disguise mask, after trying everything to lift the mask, you will subconsciously believe that what hides is the true face of that person.

    Yu Jingzhi needs such a true face in front of antibiotics.

    "Lu Yun will handle this matter."

    The Last Path of Yu Mirror.

    Meng Wangda seemed to understand Yu Jingzhi's overtones, his expression relaxed a little, and he had a deeper solemnity. He answered and said something else, then got up to leave and went downstairs.

    When Chu Yunsheng came from the isolated ward area wearing a mask, he bumped into the first floor corridor with Meng Wangda who was about to leave.

    Meng Wangda's eyesight is also top-notch, he recognized Chu Yunsheng from under the simple mask and white coat, and hurriedly greeted him warmly: "Brother Tonggu, you are here. It's so hot in summer, why are you still wearing one of these, so you don't get bored?"

    Stress is definitely boring.

    This simple mask is made of two layers of linen by Chu Yunsheng. In such weather, it is difficult to breathe. But if you don't wear it, there are many diseases, and the disinfection in all aspects is not in place. After all, it is not hygienic.

    After Chu Yunsheng learned that Yu Jingzhi had set up the hospital, he set some rules in person, tried to be clean and sanitized, disinfected and protected, and even gave the doctors and nurses that Yu Jingzhi arranged. They are all trained.

    One of Yu Jingzhi's friends, Dr. Chao Shimin, was very interested in these, and also specially learned these protections, research principles, and also brought him some books about bacteria and viruses in this era, Discuss with him from time to time.

    "Boss Meng." Chu Yunsheng nodded.

    Meng Wangda didn't know that those Chinese patent medicines came from Chu Yunsheng's hands, so he didn't mention Jihetang, just nodded with a smile: "That's right, it's business. "

    Chu Yunsheng didn't ask any further questions, he just exchanged simple greetings with Meng Wangda.

    Although he has not been at home for the past few months, Yu Jingzhi often tells him about outside affairs and brings some newspapers, so he cannot be called isolated from the world, A little bit of what Yu Jingzhi is doing.

    After chatting for a while, there was a nurse calling for Dr. Chu on the other side, and the two said goodbye and said no more.

    Chu Yunsheng went up to the second floor, and Boss Meng also walked out of the hospital door in a hurry. A young man dressed as a student was staring at the stairs leading to the second floor, looking puzzled.

    "Dr. Chu, Chu Tonggu... Why does it sound familiar?"

    "Is it..."
