A county in Liangzhou.

Suddenly there was a cry in the courtyard of a house.

"Someone, the child's father vomited blood and died, come on, help. ”

"What's going on? This, how did it become like this?"

"I don't know, it was just a plague yesterday, and after taking the government's medicine, it has improved, why is it suddenly serious again, go to the hospital quickly." ”

"It's too late, people are out of gas. ”

"Hurry up, the doctor from the medicine store is here. ”

"Doctor, let's see if there is any help. ”

"What? It's because of improper medication, which causes the symptoms, but he didn't take any medicine, these days, he just drank the decoction distributed by the government for free. ”

"Ah, could it be that there is something wrong with this free potion?"

"Who said no, it's still good as the old saying goes, it's cheap and not good, this medicine doesn't cost money, can it be a good thing, it is estimated that it is made of some defective medicinal materials, or rather, it is simply not the right symptom, hey, a human life, just gone." How will this orphan and widow live in the future? ”

"We can't just forget it, let's find the government, it's their medicine that killed people, so we have to find them for an explanation. ”

"Yes, let's go together. ”

"What, there are other people who also died because of drinking the decoction of the government, it seems, this is not a coincidence, this is more to ask for an explanation, I used to just have spring plague, although I was seriously ill, but it was not enough to die, who would have thought that after drinking the decoction distributed by his government for free, he actually died, and he knew that he couldn't drink it even if he was killed. ”

"I can't drink it, go and tell my relatives and friends, even if you are sick, you can't drink this free decoction from the government. ”

"Let's go, let's go to the government office to explain the law. ”

In this county, some people are really sad, some people are really experiencing changes, and some people are secretly fanning the flames and guiding public opinion.

At the gate of the county government, there are more than a dozen dead people, covered with white cloths, all of whom died suddenly today, all saying that they died after drinking the decoction issued by the government, and there are hundreds of people at the door, and the number of people continues to rise in the case of ten or ten hundreds.

At first, some officials from the county government came out to explain, but no one listened, and later, after being beaten with rotten vegetables and eggs, they could only flee back, and no one dared to come out again.

No one listens to the government's explanations, no one believes them, so no one explains, and rumors are even better.

The same situation is not only playing out in this county, but also in other counties, villages, and even in the city government.

In some places, the people are still restrained, but in some places where the people are fierce, the situation is much more severe, and in the end, even the county soldiers and city government guards are dispatched.

This matter brewed quickly, and by the time it was reported to the state capital, the matter was already out of control.

It can be said that it is a big trouble.

Li Ji's face was extremely ugly, and he urgently asked Chu Xian to discuss countermeasures overnight, and after Chu Xian knew, he was silent for a moment, and his face was already murderous.

Obviously, Chu Xian knew that this kind of thing was definitely not a coincidence.

That's someone secretly plotting and arranging.

And the other party obviously doesn't take human life seriously, which is what makes Chu Xian angry.

"Lord Thorn Shi, now that the matter is getting bigger, judging from the situation reported from various places, there are already thousands of people who died of accidental illness because of drinking the official decoction this time, I think that the distribution of decoction should be stopped immediately, so as not to cause problems again. Li Ji said at this time.

Chu Xian nodded in agreement.

Obviously, this mouth has to be sealed for the time being, but Chu Xian doesn't think that there is a problem with the decoction issued by the official, because it is absolutely impossible for the prescription to eat the dead, there is absolutely no doubt about this.

Chu Xian is proficient in medical science, and of course he can be sure of this.

Therefore, the people who died must have been due to other reasons, but the people did not understand it, and they were fooled, so they really thought that there was something wrong with the decoction distributed by the officials.

Therefore, in order to cause trouble again, it is also a last resort to temporarily stop the decoction.

"Even if you stop, the trouble that has been caused will not be saved, and this time, Jingzhou will inevitably be punished. Li Ji sighed.

Chu Xian nodded: "Being an official is like this, what should be borne, even if it has nothing to do with you, or even your responsibility, but what should be borne must be carried, and the distribution of decoction to the people is my order, even if it is blamed from above, I am responsible for it by me, the assassin." ”

When Li Ji heard this, there was a trace of emotion in his eyes, as well as a trace of guilt.

Just now, he was indeed just thinking about himself, and what Chu Xian was thinking about was still the people of Liangzhou, so Li Ji took a deep breath and said: "Lord Thorn Shi, I am Changshi, in charge of internal affairs, and I am the one who distributes the decoction, and I also nodded, so Li Ji will not stay out of this kind of thing, but how to clean up this stall now." ”

Chu Xian glanced at Li Ji and suddenly asked, "Do you think this incident is a coincidence, or is someone doing it on purpose?"

Li Ji was stunned.

Then Zhengse said: "If there is only one place like this, it is a coincidence, but it is like this everywhere, it is definitely not a coincidence, then someone must be acting behind the scenes." ”

Chu Xian nodded: "Yes, I think it is the Medicine King Guan who is doing the trick behind the scenes." ”

Li Ji pondered for a moment: "If there is evidence, we can directly transfer troops and arrest all these black-hearted Taoist priests, but we have no evidence, and we can't act rashly without real evidence, otherwise these guys will inevitably be beaten up." ”

Chu Xian said coldly: " The masterminds behind the scenes are determined, even if they do this, they are expected to have no way to take them because there is no evidence, but unfortunately, they picked the wrong opponent, and also miscalculated my Chu Xian's style of acting, Li Changshi, you issued an order in the name of the state government to immediately seize all the medicine stores of Yaowangguan in Liangzhou, the reason is that you can think about it, you can do anything, just say that you want to check the tax bill, or other reasons, in short, I ask that from now on, the medicine store of Yaowangguan is not allowed to sell a pack of medicine, and I want them to never earn a tael of silver from now on。 ”

When Li Ji heard this, his frightened face changed: "Lord Assassin Shi, do you have to consider this matter, if you really do this, then it will be considered a full-scale war, although we are the government, not afraid of a chamber of commerce, but behind the medicine king view, there is also the support of high-level officials, if because of the closure of the medicine store of the medicine king view, the people can not buy other medicinal materials, if this matter is not handled properly, the blame will be blamed, it will be worse for us." ”

Chu Xian laughed: "There is no need to worry about this, I have my own way, as for a full-scale war? They also deserve it? Now, it is me Chu Xian who wants to deal with them, not only the Medicine King Guan, including De Ruixiang, including all the chambers of commerce in the so-called Six Alliances, there is one, count one, I Chu Xian want them to collapse directly, I want them to go bankrupt, when the time comes, they want to stop, want to truce, I Chu Xian will not agree, immediately go to the seizure, if someone puts pressure on you, all push it to me." ”

When Li Ji heard this, his blood was also surging, and he said at the moment: " Okay, the lower officials will arrange it, I have long seen that this group of black-hearted businessmen is unhappy, for the sake of gold and silver, they are simply doing everything, but they are all traveling under various laws, it is difficult for people to catch the handle, but in the final analysis, we are officials, they are the people, we are for the overall situation, for the majority of people, so we really want to deal with them, any reason can be seized their medicine shop, that is, it is suspected that they are suspected of being a fugitive in their medicine shop, and they can be sealed for ten days and a half months. ”

After speaking, Li Ji went to work in a murderous manner.

Doing this actually requires a lot of risk, but Chu Xian does not regret it, there is no turning back when he opens the bow, and the Six Alliances Chamber of Commerce is a huge tumor at all, and it must be eradicated. Since this medicine king Guan dares to fight this formation, then, let's take him first.

At this time, Chu Xian will definitely not be merciful or hesitant, what he wants now is decisive.

Chu Xian just wants to use this method to tell them, I am an official, you are the people, I want to rectify you, there are many methods.

Of course, Chu Xian is not completely rash, he will not mess around, if he really indiscriminately seals hundreds of medicine stores, and in the end he can't come up with any legitimate reasons, then he will definitely be punished by the above. And because now in the state, Yaowangguan has the most medicine stores, accounting for more than eighty percent of the medicinal material business on the market, so how can the people buy medicine if they are closed?

But since Chu Xian expected that this incident of the people's illness and death was done behind the Yao Wang Guan, then Chu Xian would not be soft, and the most important thing was that Chu Xian had this self-confidence and could find out the truth, and at the same time, quickly fill the vacancy in the medicinal material market after the Yao Wang Guan was sealed.

At that moment, Chu Xian went to Li Ziyun first and asked her to contact the Qijia Commercial Bank in Jingzhou immediately, and asked the Qi family, including the presidents of some large chambers of commerce, to come to Liangzhou immediately, saying that there was a big business to talk to them, and if it was too late, there would be no more.

Li Ziyun knew that Chu Xian was going to make a big move, so he immediately went to do it.

After confessing to Li Ziyun, Chu Xian found Chu San.

"Chu San, you immediately take a hundred elite soldiers from the state capital, go out with me, and let's go to Tang County. Chu Xian said.

Tang County is the county with the most troubles and the most dead, and I heard that even the county officials were beaten by the people, and the cauldron of boiling medicine was also smashed.

And Tang County was the place where the accident first happened, so the breakthrough point chosen by Chu Xian was in Tang County.

This time, Chu Xian was in a hurry immediately, Chu San was going to march with a hundred people, so the speed was relatively slow, Chu Xian decided to divide the troops into two ways, and he was to use the black wind change, turn into a bird, and fly to Tang County quickly first.

In this way, in just an hour, Chu Xian was already in Tang County.

Because of the urgency of time, the people in Tang County are still gathered at the gate of the county government, the number has exceeded five hundred, and in front of the county government are several rows of county soldiers with swords and spears on their waists, and it is also a loss to mobilize these county soldiers to come, otherwise the angry people have already rushed into the county government.
