Infinite Disaster Survival

209. Chapter 209: Escape from Famine in Ancient Times-19

It was not long after the New Year, the wind was cold and the rivers in Yangning Prefecture were still frozen, making it difficult to travel by water. The group could only travel by land. They tried to shorten the journey as much as possible, but it still took ten days to leave Yangning Prefecture.

The court did not take the rebels seriously, but the prefecture city bordering Yangning Prefecture would definitely pay attention to this "neighbor" occupied by the rebels, so in order to avoid causing trouble, they first found a secret place to disguise their identities. After entering Linfu, the wealthy merchants who had been waiting for the miracle doctor to treat the disease came to them as soon as possible.

The patient was too ill to travel far, so they had to ask them to hurry up a little bit, and the rest of the journey could be taken by water.

Wen Zheng arrived at the ferry in a carriage and saw the patterns engraved on the ship he was about to board.

The wealthy merchants of this dynasty would put unique logos on their own industries, which was a symbol of identity. The patterns in front of him were particularly familiar. After listening carefully, he found that the wealthy merchant was surnamed Shen.

The rich son of the Shen family, who was saved by him and provided information to the Wen clan, was the young master of this family.

When the epidemic broke out, Shen hid outside the city and did not get sick. After the epidemic subsided and he returned home, his father fell seriously ill and could no longer manage the family business. Shen showed an excellent talent for business. Not only did he successfully take over the family business, but he was also bold enough to start a business with the rebels, and used this to make the Shen family's business better.

Unfortunately, his father's serious illness did not improve at all, and now he is completely hanging on to life with medicine.

The people sent by the Shen family first met Meng Jun, and then came to meet Wen Zheng, the miracle doctor. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they did a good job on the surface.

Wen Zheng stood at the bow and looked into the distance. The ship sent by the Shen family was a large cargo ship used to transport goods. There were ships from different sources lined up in front and behind this cargo ship, most of which were cargo ships owned by wealthy merchants.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, the boat in front started to move, and the boats behind followed closely. The water route greatly reduced the time spent, and life on the boat was not boring. Just watching the boats coming and going, analyzing the wealthy merchants they belonged to and the forces they relied on, was interesting enough to ignore the passage of time.

Riding the Shen family's boat, gradually approaching the city of Pingchang Prefecture, when it was about to enter the ferry, the boat in front stopped for some reason, blocking the way to the ferry.

The Shen family's steward was about to send someone to inquire about the situation from the boat in front, and heard several gongs and drums. The boats in front made way for a wide road on the water one by one. The Shen family's steward's face also became nervous and serious, and he directed the personnel to move the Shen family's boat away.

After the initial panic, the people on the boat became orderly. Wen Zheng, Meng Jun and others were invited guests, and they only stood in a position on the boat that would not hinder others to see what situation could cause such a big commotion.

After many merchant ships moved for about an incense stick, several large ships sailed away in front of everyone, at a moderate speed, which allowed Wen Zheng to see all the details of these ships clearly. Only official ships can make merchant ships give way, but these ships are not just official ships. Looking at the ceremonial guards, hulls and even the patterns on the sails, it shows that the owners of these ships are the royal family of this dynasty.

After the official ship in front went away, a row of merchant ships followed behind, including the merchant ship of the Shen family.

At this time, the ships that wanted to enter the ferry dared to move forward.

The steward on the ship breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the guests' eyes were on the merchant ships leaving the ferry, he asked people to bring tea and snacks, and asked them to go back to the cabin to sit down and whisper to them.

"In two months, it will be the 1000th birthday of the current Majesty." When saying this, the steward sent by the Shen family extended his hand and bowed to the north to show respect, and then continued, "Today, the official ship was dispatched because the Shunyi King went to the capital to celebrate the Majesty's birthday in advance. With the official ship in front, there is no need to worry about pirates in the water, so the merchants went to the capital with the power of the prince."

This Majesty is celebrating a full birthday, and there will be a big celebration in the capital this year. It is a great opportunity for merchants to make profits. These merchant ships are all carrying goods that will be transported to the capital for sale.

After introducing the situation of these ships, the steward of the Shen family saw that they were quite interested, and gave a general introduction to the situation of the Shunyi King and Pingchang Prefecture. To be honest, who can know more clearly than these merchants doing business in the prefecture?

As the conversation got longer, the steward accidentally mentioned the plague last year. He stopped talking immediately, looked around, and spoke more quietly after making sure they were in a closed cabin.

It turned out that the prince of Shunyi Palace left the capital for a trip last year, but encountered a flood in Yangning Prefecture. Although he received the news in advance and evacuated in time, the flood triggered the plague. This time, the prince of Shunyi Palace was not so lucky, and Pingchang Prefecture was also unlucky because the prince of Shunyi Prefecture was diagnosed with the plague after escaping to Pingchang Prefecture, and lost his life in Pingchang Prefecture before the good medicine was born.

Hearing this, Wen Zheng and Meng Jun's expressions did not change much, but others revealed some dissatisfaction. They all knew who the person who developed the prescription was, so they would naturally be dissatisfied with the person who pretended to claim it, but they also knew where it was now, so they quickly covered it up.

Fortunately, the steward was a little nervous when he said the news and did not notice these details.

"If our Pingchang Mansion hadn't reported the prescription to treat the epidemic, I'm afraid our prefect..." The steward of the Shen family shook his head, "Your Majesty is merciful, except for the prefect and the few doctors who researched and developed the prescription. The head fell to the ground. In order to appease King Shunyi, His Majesty also agreed to let King Shunyi come here to investigate. He did not return to the capital until today. "

The steward of the Shen family lowered his head to pour tea for several distinguished guests, concealing the emotions in his eyes. When he raised his head again, he changed the topic and introduced the delicious food and beauty in Pingchang City.

The boat docked next to the ferry. Wen Zheng, Meng Jun and others got off the boat. The vehicle sent by the Shen family was already waiting for them at the ferry. As soon as they got in the car, they quickly rushed to the Shen family mansion and explained in a low voice: " The master’s situation has become serious again.”

As soon as the carriage entered Shen's house, Wen Zheng was asked to get out of the car and taken to the room where Shen's father was. If Wen Zheng hadn't walked very fast, the boy next to him would have wanted to run in with Wen Zheng on his back. Shen Jiafu was waiting at the door of the bedroom. When he saw Wen Zheng, he immediately saluted and begged, "Father, please leave it to me sir."

Wen Zheng didn't waste any time. It was important to save people. He quickly walked to the bedside and took Shen's pulse. He felt something was wrong after taking the pulse. The injuries on Shen's body were not ordinary illnesses, but were caused by poisoning and external force. Later, not only did he fail to recover properly, but he also spent a lot of energy on it. He is able to endure it now thanks to countless good medicines, but his life is still hanging by a thread. .

Facing this kind of patient who has one foot in the door of hell and the other foot up, Wen Zheng's medical skills are difficult to cure, but he also owns a system store, and it is more useful for Shen's father to survive. Wen Zheng reached out and took it out from his arms. Others thought he was taking out the precious medicine that had already been prepared. In fact, Wen Zheng opened the system store at the same time and purchased a pill-shaped medicine. His consciousness controlled the porcelain bottle that appeared in his arms. middle.

Whoever took the pills was the size of a soybean. Wen Zheng administered the injections at the same time. The people waiting nearby didn't even dare to breathe. It wasn't until Wen Zheng stopped and confirmed that their master's breathing had calmed down that they dared to make any noise.

Wen Zheng walked to the table and took the paper and pen he had prepared and wrote down another prescription, and explained clearly that Mr. Shen was brought back from hell with his pills, but if he wanted to be completely out of danger, he still needed to recuperate. Over a period of time, "his body suffered too much loss. Even with this treatment, some of the losses cannot be made up, and his life span will inevitably be hindered."

"My mother and I are very satisfied if we can save my father's life. I would like to thank the miracle doctor for coming all the way to save me this time. I have already prepared the diagnosis fee. I also asked the miracle doctor to stay in Pingchang for a few more days. My father's condition still needs to be improved." The miracle doctor will have to worry about it for a few more days, and then let the Shen family entertain the miracle doctor."

Wen Zheng and Meng Jun had no intention of leaving. Shen Jiafu invited them out and they should stay. Wen Zheng casually hinted. After Shen Jiafu confirmed his father's situation, he took Wen Zheng and others to the guest room. After resting, he sent all the servants away after arriving. Meng Jun also took care of Shen Jiafu's thoughts and asked his subordinates to leave.

"How much do you know about your father's injury?" There were only three of them in the room. Wen Zheng got straight to the point. As he spoke, he looked at Shen Jiafu again. After not seeing him for half a year, this man had almost changed his appearance. His figure had become thinner, and his face had changed. Pale, the innocence between his eyebrows disappeared.

When Shen Jiafu heard Wen Zheng referring to his injury instead of his condition, he already knew that Wen Zheng had figured it out. This time the miracle doctor saved his father as a great favor. The business cooperation that Meng Jun offered him before allowed him to gain a foothold in the Shen family after his father was seriously injured. It was also a favor. The person who caused his father to be seriously injured and on the verge of death was from this dynasty. The royal family, his heart has long been inclined to the rebel army,

Moreover, even though the situation in the world seemed to be still under the control of the imperial court, the Shen family had a premonition that the dynasty was about to end, so it would be better to join the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible.

Facing the rebel young master and the miracle doctor, Shen Jiafu had to explain the situation of his father's serious injury.

Upon closer inspection, it was not that the Shen family had offended anyone. The status of businessmen was low. Even wealthy businessmen would be cautious when dealing with court officials, let alone the royal family. But Shen's father didn't know what he said wrongly. When he presented the gift, he offended King Shunyi and was kicked to death. He had to wait until the gifts from many wealthy businessmen were over before returning home. He could only secretly ask a doctor for treatment. Later, Only when he couldn't be cured, he discovered that Shen's father had been drugged with chronic poison.

The Shen family spent a huge amount of money to get the opportunity to apologize to King Shunyi. The Shen family was injured and poisoned, but they did not dare to implicate King Shunyi in the slightest. Branches of the family were eyeing the Shen family's business, and other wealthy businessmen were eyeing the Shen family like wolves and leopards. The Shen family didn't dare to recall the despair they felt at that time.

Perhaps it was precisely because of the pressure from all sides that the Shen family suddenly woke up, put aside their useless naivety, and relied on various strange but useful business methods that appeared inexplicably in their minds. The family property is in his own hands.

Meng Jun's expression changed slightly as Shen Jiafu told him. Starting from some of the propaganda methods used by Shen Jiafu, it looked like a discussion, but in fact it was a test. Wen Zheng was listening, but he looked uninterested. Later, he made excuses to leave the room and went to the courtyard to sit and wait. In fact, he listened to the conversation in the room with extraordinary experience.

Wen Zheng is a player in the infinite disaster survival game and does not actually belong to this world. However, Meng Jun is a time traveler who has memories and thinks he has traveled to ancient times. Shen Jiafu does have modern knowledge, and even after some of Meng Jun's temptations, It showed the reaction that a modern person would have, but he had no corresponding memory and only thought that he was an ancient aborigine with a talent for business.

The three people had their own thoughts, and Wen Zheng became more and more curious about the truth of this world.
