Chapter 332 Robbery
In the city, Xiao Xun and Zhang Yishan each rode a horse and went to the street. When they were about to reach the gate of the city, they saw a long queue at the gate of a medicine store. The genius doctor has already said that this plague can only be cured by dandelions, boil dandelions and drink to prevent the plague, dandelions are worth a penny, the price is fair, first come first served!"
Xiao Xun reined in the horse suddenly, turned his head to look at Zhang Yishan, pointed the whip at the pharmacy, "What's going on? Didn't it mean that there are no dandelions in the city?"
Zhang Yishan was also confused, he quickly got off his horse, ran over there, and asked, "Which pharmacy are you from, and where did the dandelions come from?"
The guy smiled and said, "My lord, don't you care where our dandelions come from? They are good medicinal materials anyway. If you want them, you can buy them with silver. You can buy dandelions for one penny. After today, you can do it tomorrow." If it’s not good, the price will be raised. The doctor of the Cui family said that only dandelion can cure this epidemic, and the magic needle of the Cui family doesn’t work. Oh, God still loves us common people!”
Someone at the back saw that Zhang Yishan didn't leave, thought he was going to jump in the queue, and pushed forward desperately, accidentally squeezed the people in front, and was about to be trampled, so Zhang Yishan had to come back, and cupped his hands at Xiao Xun, "Your Majesty, what is this?" The pharmacy of Ning's family must be the dandelion stockpiled in the past."
"Fart!" Xiao Xun said angrily, pointing at the queue like a long queue, "What is a pharmacy stockpiling so many dandelions for? Check it out, check it out for me. Where did these dandelions come from?"
Just as I was talking, a car came in from outside the city, and the car was tightly covered with oiled paper. There were five burly men escorting the car, and a steward. When the group walked to the door, the steward said to the man, " Hurry up and ask the young master to come out, the goods have arrived, and the young master over there said that this car is only for the time being, so let's sell it at a leisurely time."
When Xiao Xun heard this, he rushed forward and yanked the oiled paper, several large packages of medicinal materials appeared in front of everyone, and one of the old men screamed, "Dandelion, it's dandelion."
"The imperial court cheated us ordinary people, saying that there are no more dandelions. It turns out that dandelions are sold to Ning's drugstore!"
"Didn't you hear that? The Ning family medicine shop is run by the empress of the palace, the family of the fourth prince, and even the magistrate dare not provoke him!"
"One penny and one penny of dandelion! This is not medicine, but this is silver! How can we ordinary people afford it?"
"Didn't that young master say that the imperial court would send us food and medicine? Why do you want us to pay for such expensive medicine?"
"Everyone!" a man raised his arms and shouted, "Those dog officials in the imperial court don't care about us ordinary people. They are all tigers that eat people. No, they are more powerful than tigers. Tigers eat people when they are hungry. Dog officials eat people but don't spit out bones."
"Get out!" The steward yelled, pointed at Xiao Xun, and said to the burly man, "Hit me, hit me to death!"
Xiao Xun fell ill, and after getting up, he didn't have the energy to take care of himself, and was sloppy. The steward thought he was the young master of someone in the city, and someone in the family was sick and was in a hurry to get the medicinal materials, so he came here to grab it.
Seeing those thugs surrounded him, Xiao Xun spread out his whip and turned around, knocking them all down. He shouted, "Where are they? Where are they? Come out to me!"
There was a sound of horseshoes, and a group of people rushed over from all directions, lined up in front of Xiao Xun, and shouted in unison, "I have seen the prince of the county!"
Xiao Xun pointed to the Ning family medicine store, "Copy, copy for me, all the medicinal materials, I will send all the medicinal materials to the yamen, and not a single one is allowed!"
The steward was already dumbfounded. How could he have thought that the target of his attack was a county prince. His legs gave way, and he fell to the ground with a puddle of mud.
The shopkeeper hurried out when he heard the commotion, and knelt at the gate, "Your Majesty, what law has this drugstore violated?"
He took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this is the medicine shop of the Ning family. Please give me your hand. His Royal Highness, the Fourth Prince, will definitely not forget your kindness!"
"Where did the medicinal materials come from?"
Xiao Xun didn't pay attention at all, he is not blind, doesn't he know that this is Ning's medicine shop, pointing to the carriage at the door, "As far as I know, this carriage and this cloth bag are not folk things, how dare you rob them?" Do you know that the disaster relief items delivered by the imperial court are crimes of beheading?"
"Hurry up and search for me!"
The people brought by Xiao Xun were about to rush into the pharmacy when a voice came from the gate of the city, "Wait a minute, fifth brother, what's going on?"
Xiao Xun waved his hand, those people, those who should pull the cart away, those who should rush in to search the shop, went in, and the one who came was the Fourth Prince.
"Hehe, it turned out to be the fourth brother, how dare you come in, old man?" Xiao Xun flicked his horsewhip and walked over casually.
Xiao Changxuan hated Xiao Xun terribly in his heart, but on the surface he had no choice but to argue with him, "Fifth brother, what's going on? Did the Ning family's drugstore commit any crime?"
"Fourth brother, what's the matter with this cart of dandelions? Isn't it the medicinal materials transported by the imperial court to Juzhou for disaster relief? Why, it turns out that the fourth brother entrusted the Ning family medicine shop to sell these medicinal materials to the common people and the yamen at a high price? Fourth brother, don't you You know, Zhang Yishan is a poor man, and he can't get a single coin out of his purse?"
"Why does this cart of dandelions belong to the imperial court? When I was at the gate of the city just now, I saw it being transported from Yinzhou with my own eyes. Fifth brother, I know that there is a shortage of medicinal materials in the city now, but we can't do this kind of robbery." thing!"
"This is really a coincidence. Isn't there a lot of Atractylodes in Yinzhou? When did dandelions start to grow? Besides, the Cui family's little genius doctor just figured out the matter of dandelions being used as medicine yesterday. It turns out that the Ning family already knew about it. Hehe, it's been a long time ago." Knowing that dandelion can cure epidemics, why do you still cover it up and keep silent?"
Common people are not stupid, and there are quite a few people who were waiting to spend a lot of money to buy dandelions. Seeing that the county prince has snatched them away, they must use the medicine, so they don't fight for it. Now that everyone has heard the big news, everyone understands that Ganqing is indeed the fourth prince's natal family. The fourth prince sells the medicinal materials delivered to Juzhou City by the imperial court to his natal family for huge profits.
"My God, why are there such heartless people in this world! Knowing that dandelion can cure epidemics, but not to mention it, what kind of heart is it?" A woman who lost her child heard this, Sitting on the ground, weeping loudly.
Some people were sobbing while wiping away their tears. No words could express the grief and indignation in his heart at this moment.
"It's difficult to make money for the country?" Xiao Xun's mood was also affected, "fourth brother, are you not afraid of being sprayed to death by the spittle of the censors? Who in the world doesn't know that the Ning family in Yinzhou is your natal family? I don't know Why is it such a coincidence that this cart of dandelions has come, but now, I want to take them away, and when the dandelions from the imperial court arrive, fourth brother, you can exchange them for your convenience."
