The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again

As the hawking sounds rose and fell, people came out of the closed houses on both sides of the street with bowls one after another.

An old man, as thin as a skeleton, tremblingly took out five taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the medicine vendor with shaking hands.

"Brother, can your potion really cure the disease? This... this is all my wealth."

"Don't worry, old man. Our county governor personally went to Medicine King Valley and spent a lot of money to get this medicine."

"That's good, that's good, brother, quickly make me a bowl, my little grandson is still waiting for help!"

"okay!"

The vendor took his own bowl, which was about the same size as a teacup, scooped a bowl of medicine and poured it into the old man's bowl. The medicine just covered the bottom of the bowl.

"Brother, you don't even have a bowl here. This... this is less than half a bowl."

"Why is there no bowl left? This bowl is not that bowl."

After the peddler finished speaking, he shook the small teacup in his hand and looked at the old man with contempt and sarcasm.

"Brother, please, please give me a little more. My grandson is dying of illness and is waiting for the medicine to save his life."

"Whether your grandson lives or dies is none of my business. I've already given you a bowl of medicine. Don't make trouble anymore, or I'll be rude to you."

After saying that, he winked at the crowd, and several burly men came out. Without saying a word, they picked up the old man and threw him out. After a beating and kicking, the old man was beaten with a swollen nose and eyes, and was dying. The bowl in his hand fell to the ground and broke. The medicine spilled on the scalding ground and evaporated instantly, leaving only a small black mark.

"Bah! Poor bastard, you have only one worthless life! If you can't afford the medicine, just wait to die!"

"Everyone, watch this. If anyone refuses to accept a toast and acts unreasonably, this will be their fate."

The crowd looked at the old man who was breathing out more than breathing in, with a trace of fear and panic in their eyes. They put away the thought of bargaining and obediently took out their silver one by one. After buying the potion, they lowered their heads and hurried home.

One was to get his family to take the medicine as quickly as possible, and the other was to prevent them from being robbed by the crowd of people with red eyes and fierce looks around them.

Zhang Shizhong stood outside Yinzhou County, frowning as he stared at the still-closed city gate, feeling puzzled. After the people in other towns recovered, the blockades had been lifted and people could enter and exit the city gates normally.

Only this place was still shrouded in the aura of death. The pungent smell of corpses seemed to solidify, making his eyes tear up.

Didn't he send soldiers to deliver the prescription? Could it be that the prefect of Yinzhou County didn't receive it? Could it be that all the people in the city were killed?

"Good news! Good news! Don't miss it if you pass by! The county magistrate personally went to Medicine King Valley and spent a lot of money to buy the magic potion for sale. The magic potion is being sold at a loss. It used to sell for ten taels of silver, but now it only costs five taels of silver per bowl. I guarantee that this medicine will cure your illness and save your life. I guarantee that this medicine will cure your illness and save your life. Don't miss it if you pass by. Five taels is five taels."

Strange hawking sounds came from the city. Zhang Shizhong, who heard the content of the hawking sounds clearly, turned pale, his eyes were blazing, his nostrils were flared with anger as if smoke was coming out, and he kept gasping for breath.

His fists were clenched tightly under his sleeves, making a clattering sound. He was almost losing his mind due to anger. Every word of hawking in the city was like a dagger, stabbing fiercely into his heart.

My chest was churning and my shoulders couldn't stop shaking.

Unable to suppress his rage, he rushed to the city gate and kicked and punched it.

"Open the door, open the door, open the door for me!"

The soldiers following behind him also reacted at this time and rushed forward to bang on the door angrily.

After a long time, a voice finally came from the city wall above.

"Who are you? How dare you smash the city gate?"

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly. The great general is here. Why don't you open the city gates immediately?"

The guard on the city wall yawned and sneered nonchalantly, "What a joke! Anybody can call himself a great general. If you are a great general, then I am the prime minister. Great general, how come I have never seen you before?"

"How dare you! You bastard! How dare you insult the general? Here is the general's token. Open the city gate quickly."

The guard leaned out half of his body, glanced casually with a sneer on his face, and suddenly his eyes widened.

"General...General...General!"

It turned out to be the great general Zhang Shizhong. He even cursed the general and anybody else. This was just courting death.

He felt a chill on his neck and his head was shaking. He was so frightened that his legs were shaking and he couldn't speak fluently.

"You are asking for death, why don't you open the city gate quickly? Do you want me to come up and invite you?"

"General, calm down. General, calm down. I will open the city gate right away."

After saying that, he ran hurriedly to the bottom of the city wall, but in his haste he didn't see the steps clearly, and he missed a step and rolled down the city wall.

After waiting for a long time, just when Zhang Shizhong thought that the guards at the city gate were just trying to fool him and wanted to build a human ladder to climb over the city wall, the city gate slowly opened and a bruised face emerged.

He knelt down at the door with a thud.

"General, please spare my life! I was blind and didn't recognize a great man. I offended you with my bad mouth. Please forgive me and spare my life!"

After saying that, he started slapping himself in the mouth.

The furious Zhang Shizhong didn't have time to pay attention to him and walked straight into the city.

"Go, get Liu Deyuan over here!"

"General, the governor is not in the city."

Zhang Shizhong was so angry that he laughed.

"Not in the city? He is the governor of Yinzhou County, but he is not in the city at this time. Where is he? Tell him to come here immediately. If he doesn't come, I will kill him."

"General, I don't know where he is. I am just a small city gate guard and have no right to ask about the whereabouts of the county magistrate."

"Okay, very good. I'll settle accounts with you later. Tell me what's going on in this city."

"Reply...Reply to the general, the county magistrate left Yinzhou after the flood and returned for a while after the flood. Later, when the epidemic was discovered, the county magistrate took his entire family away again and only ordered us to guard the city gates and not let anyone leave the city.

At first, not many people were infected with the plague, but later more and more people became sick and died. People had no food and even resorted to cannibalism. The situation became increasingly serious until it was no longer under control. Originally there were eight guards at the city gate, but now I am the only one left. The other seven have all died of the disease.

Until ten days ago, the county magistrate's steward suddenly returned to Yinzhou with a group of people, claiming that the county magistrate left Yinzhou and went to Yaowang Valley in person, where he spent a large sum of money to obtain the magic medicine that could cure the plague.

That medicine really worked. I was also infected with the plague at the time and thought I was going to die. I gritted my teeth and spent five taels of silver to buy a bowl of medicine and drank it. I didn’t expect it to work. I recovered in just a few days.”

"Five taels of silver for a bowl of medicine? Did Liu Deyuan go to Medicine King Valley and spend a lot of money to get the medicine?"

"Yes, that medicine was sold for five taels of silver per small bowl. Many people in the city bought it. Many who couldn't afford it died of illness. Their bodies were piled up in the streets, and no one came to collect them."

"Bullshit! I gave him the prescription and asked him to collect herbs and distribute medicine to the people. How dare he profit from the loss of his country."
