Sui Jiu Dan blue half-pin

On the side of the road leading to Xuancheng, Zhou Yuran and Wu Zhige saw a teahouse where they rested, so they went over to check the situation.

As soon as they entered the teahouse, they noticed something was wrong.

A group of refugees wearing face scarves and carrying various weapons were sitting there drinking tea leisurely.

There was not a single passer-by resting around.

Wu Zhige and Zhou Yuran exchanged glances, and after confirming that this was a black shop, they turned around and were about to leave.

Inadvertently, Zhou Yuran caught a glimpse of one of the refugees playing with a jade seal in his hand.

The word "Yingxue" is engraved on the seal.

He stopped immediately, grabbed Wu Zhige without showing any trace, and then pulled him to sit beside him.

"Boss lady! Bring some tea!"

"I'm coming!"

The glamorously dressed proprietress twisted her waist and came out carrying the teapot to pour tea for them.

"Two guest officers, please use it slowly."

The landlady gave them a wink as she spoke.

After Zhou Yuran and Wu Zhige pretended to drink a few sips, they began to shake their heads, pretending to be dizzy, and then lay down on the table with a "bang".

After a while, the group of refugees really came towards them.

"Brother Dog, it looks like he must have fallen asleep."

"Well, go up and search!"

Three or four refugees went over, reached into the clothes of the two of them and groped up and down, looking for any belongings.

Sudden.

Wu Zhige got up and grabbed the refugee's hand, and bent it backwards. The refugee immediately screamed like a pig being killed, and then he turned around and kicked away the refugee who was about to attack him.

Zhou Yuran suddenly pressed the homeless man who took out his clothes on the table, then grabbed the teacup and threw it at the head of the other man, blood flowed from that man's forehead instantly.

"Help! Brother Dog!"

"hateful!"

Zhou Yuran kicked the refugee to the ground, and said coldly, "You guys go up together!"

Brother Gou waved his hand: "Give it to me!"

"Hey!"

Seeing this, other refugees raised their weapons and rushed forward, surrounding the two of them.

After a while...

After all, they were just a group of vicious common people, no matter where they were Lianjiazi's opponents like Wu Zhige and Zhou Yuran, they would beat them to the ground in two or three blows, and they all wailed endlessly.

Brother Gou was so frightened that he pissed off and crawled straight to the door.

Zhou Yuran walked over, grabbed his collar, took out Su Shiqing's seal, and asked, "Say! Where did this come from?"

Brother Gou trembled and said, "Pick it up... I picked it up!"

Zhou Yuran roared: "How dare you lie! Believe it or not, I pulled out your tongue?"

"Heroic man, spare your life! Spare me!...I say! I say! This, this is from a little brother!"

"What about people?"

"Be, was taken away!"

"Who took it away? Where did it go?"

"It was taken away by our boss! It should be in the city now."

Before Zhou Yuran could speak, Wu Zhige, who was deeply aware that something was wrong, came over and grabbed Brother Gou's arm and walked out: "Lead the way!"

Brother Gou cried with a sad face: "I, I will show you the way!"

Led by Brother Gou, they came to the refugee gathering place in Xuancheng.

There are refugees everywhere in the city, some are supporting each other to move forward, some are lying on the side of the road and crying in pain, some are motionless, not knowing whether they are dead or alive...

City God Temple.

Brother Gou: "It's inside."

Wu Zhige rushed in without saying a word.

Zhou Yuran quickly grabbed him: "Wait!"

Wu Zhige has lost his mind: "What are you waiting for?"

"We still don't know how many people there are on the other side. If we rush in so rashly, Meisheng may be in danger!"

Wu Zhige took a deep breath and asked Brother Gou, "How many people are there?"

"Three, three... 400 people."

Zhou Yuran: "Most of the refugees are composed of robbers and beggars. They burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of crimes on weekdays. They even capture people and sell them. There are so many of them now, it's not appropriate to rush in. I don't think it's better than this. You stay here and don't act rashly." , I will go to the epidemic center and transfer all the officers and soldiers stationed here."

Wu Zhige nodded: "Okay, then go and come back quickly!"

"kindness!"

After speaking, Zhou Yuran set off for the epidemic center.

……

It's getting dark.

Wu Zhige, who had been guarding outside the Town God's Temple, suddenly found someone walking out of it.

The ones leading the way were ten or twenty reckless men, and then a few more people walked out, carrying sacks on their shoulders. Looking carefully, the sacks were still moving, and it seemed that they were filled with people.

Brother Gou said that every time they catch a beautiful girl, they will take it out for sale in the dark.The ones that were close were sold to kilns, and the ones that were better were sold to wealthy businessmen, or even dignitaries as slaves.

Their boss arrested Su Shiqing and brought him to Xuancheng because he saw Su Shiqing's beauty.

Wu Zhige didn't care whether Zhou Yuran would come or not, and immediately followed the group of refugees to catch up.

About the time of a cup of tea.

They came to the side door of a grand residence and knocked three times, which seemed to be a customary signal.

Soon, the side door was opened.

A servant came out from inside, looked around, and after making sure that no one was following him, he was asked to carry all the sacks in, then threw a money bag to the group of refugees and closed the door.

The refugee boss counted some money and left happily after confirming that it was correct.

Wu Zhige hid at the corner, and after they all left, he climbed up to the roof along the high wall, like a surreptitious cat, silently following the servants carrying the sacks.

at night.

The resplendent mansion is brightly lit, and the servants are bustling with food and wine.In the huge courtyard, there was a feast of flowing water, and the smell of meat and wine wafted everywhere.Several clever maidservants sat in the courtyard fiddled with melodious musical instruments, playing and singing freely.

Everything here is in sharp contrast to the miserable world outside.

Wu Zhige found that there were many guards and patrolling courtyard guards here, all of them were Lianjiazi, so it might not be so easy to deal with.

the other side.

Su Shiqing and several other girls, after being washed with medicated baths, specially changed into delicate clothes and applied makeup.

After waking up from the dizziness, Su Shiqing found that the back of her head was still oozing blood.

He recalled that when he was digging wild vegetables in the forest, he ran into a gang of gangsters who beat him unconscious and carried him away without saying a word.

"here is……?"

Looking at the silk and satin on his body and the luxury and luxury in the mansion, he was both shocked and angry.

The people outside are in dire straits, they can't afford to eat, and their illnesses can't be cured, but this mansion of unknown origin is so extravagant and extravagant!

When he got to the inner courtyard, he felt even more uncomfortable.

It was daytime around them, and when they crossed the covered bridge carved with birds, animals, flowers and plants, a huge banquet appeared in front of their eyes, and several handsome figures were sitting there drinking and talking.

The entire courtyard can be described as resplendent and resplendent, and it can even be seen that it is directly modeled after the imperial garden.

Su Shiqing and other girls were brought to the center of the courtyard, where a group of clever servant girls were singing and dancing, playing moving pieces to add to the fun.

Judging from the scale, it should be an important and special banquet.

When Wu Zhige saw Su Shiqing appearing, his body moved.

He wanted to go straight down to rescue him, but after another thought, it might be difficult for him to reach the sky alone, so he hurriedly left to find Zhou Yuran.

……

"Thank you, Mr. Hu, for your hospitality."

"Master Lian is too polite, please."

The man known as Mr. Hu, dressed in brocade clothes, was about 50 years old, with a full face and sharp eyebrows. Even if he smiled, he couldn't hide the sinister and cunning in his eyes.

As for Mr. Lian, he was dressed in a precious silk robe, his black hair was tied in a golden crown, and his gestures were elegant and unique, so he should be the son of an official family.

There were several well-known men sitting at the banquet, all dressed differently, some looked like businessmen, and some looked like dignitaries.

"Master Li, take a look at this banquet, Mr. Hu will really enjoy it."

When Mr. Hu heard this ridicule, he smiled and said: "Master Tian is joking, these are just common etiquettes. Come on, Mr. Tian, ​​Mr. Li, Mr. Hu, give a toast to the two adults!"

Lord Tian retaliated to him.

But the man named Master Li didn't speak a word, his face was covered by a face scarf, although he couldn't see his expression clearly, but from the exposed eyes, it seemed that he was enjoying the dance music between the venues.

After drinking, Mr. Hu said to the two adults again: "Master Li, Mr. Tian, ​​there are two adults at the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Please take care of me."

Su Shiqing's heart skipped a beat when she heard the "Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine".

The Department of Classical Medicine is a medical department that is responsible for purchasing medicinal materials from medicinal material dealers. These medicinal materials are generally sent to government offices and pharmacies in various places, and only high-grade medicinal materials that have been screened will be sent to the court.Usually, they are also franchised to operate the medicinal material business, and the money obtained is used to train medical apprentices or for internal use.

So these grown-ups are all officials of the Medical Administration?What are they doing here if they don't fight the epidemic?

Mr. Tian frowned, wondering: "Master Hu, you medicinal materials dealers buy medicinal materials at low prices from Yao Nong, and sell them at expensive prices at this time, so we can't bargain. Even if the medical department wants to take it, they have no money to buy it!"

The flesh on Master Hu's face twitched, and then he laughed again: "Master Tian, ​​you are joking again. The imperial court must have allocated a lot of money for this epidemic. How could there be no money to buy it?"

Mr. Tian's face darkened: "Master Hu, I have to remind you well that in this situation, without the consent of our Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, you medicinal material dealers are strictly prohibited from buying and selling a large amount of medicinal materials without permission. Besides, you Isn’t it just to make a lot of money by hoarding so many medicinal materials on purpose? If they can’t be sold, hoarding is a waste!”

Hearing these words, the other medicine merchants present couldn't sit still any longer, and all of them winked at Mr. Hu vigorously.

Master Hu understood, and hurriedly said: "The medicinal materials we sell to the Department of Classical Medicine are all high-quality products, and the price is very fair... But since you think it is expensive, then let's discuss it!"

"Well..." Mr. Tian pondered, "Since Mr. Hu said that we can discuss it, let's drop it by another [-]%. It sounds auspicious."

"This……!"

All the medicine dealers were in an uproar, and all their faces turned green. It really is no official and no business!

There was silence for a while, no one dared to speak.

"It seems that all of you have no objections. They are indeed straightforward people, and it is not in vain for me and Mr. Li to go this way." As he spoke, Mr. Tian raised his wine glass and toasted several medicinal material vendors: " Thank you all, I will do my best to respect you."

Several medicine merchants couldn't tell their hardships, but they were helplessly controlled by others. After all, merchants are not as good as officials, money and power, so they can only retaliate with a half-hearted smile.

Master Hu hurriedly said to Mr. Lian, "Mr. Lian, please ask Mr. Lian to clear the matter on the side of the trial agency."

"Since the two adults have agreed, everything is easy to talk about."

Su Shiqing looked at Mr. Lian in shock. It turned out that he was the official of the court sent by the imperial court to assist and supervise the Department of Classical Medicine.He even secretly colluded with this group of medicine merchants and the Department of Classical Medicine. It really is that merchants are uneasy without officials, and officials without merchants are not rich.

"By the way, Mr. Lian, is there any news about the commander who came with you this time?"

After Young Master Lian took a sip of his drink, he smiled with unknown meaning: "So far, his whereabouts are unknown, his life and death are uncertain, and he has not even been found."

It was said that the stone hanging in everyone's heart finally fell to the ground, and they began to enjoy it with peace of mind.

Su Shiqing gritted her teeth, these profiteers!Dog officer!How many people are displaced, suffering from diseases, and can't even get a pair of life-saving medicines, but they abuse their power, collusion between government and businessmen, corruption prevails, suck blood from innocent people, seek personal gain, and fill disaster relief funds into private pockets, they are simply beasts Not as good!
