Chapter 278 Abrupt

I'm fed up with this sour smell, so I have to go outside for some fresh air!

Rongliang and others agreed, accompanied the Third Prince to change their clothes, and then went out together.

Now that the epidemic is under control, the situation in Hongzheng Mansion is getting better day by day. Most of the people in the city have returned to normal life. Many shops have started doing business normally. You can also see some stalls selling and walking on the street.

A salesman wandering the alleys.

Compared with the tragic situation some time ago, the situation at this time can be described as thriving.

His Highness the Third Prince was quite pleased and walked slowly along the street and even walked around in the nearby alleys.

The small alleys are much deserted, but still relatively peaceful. Because there are houses everywhere, you can smell the strong smell of medicine in the air. The people strictly follow the epidemic prescriptions to use medicines and disinfect and prevent.

It can be said that everything is in order.

But when His Highness walked to a more secluded alley, he almost bumped into someone head-on.

The man was dressed in green clothes and looked like a young boy, and there were three people wearing similar clothes to him standing next to him. The four of them looked nervous at this time, looking at the Third Highness and his entourage with wary faces.

Under their feet was a pile of sacks piled up haphazardly, each sack decorated with a strip of cloth with writing on it.

Because the sack exuded a strong smell of herbs, His Highness frowned and glanced at it subconsciously.

The word "licorice" is written on the strip of cloth tied to one of the sacks. Looking at the other sacks, there are ephedra, forsythia, honeysuckle, isatis root, rhubarb and so on.

this……

All are medicinal materials used to treat epidemic diseases.

Due to the serious epidemic in Hongzheng Mansion, these medicinal materials are extremely scarce. In order to prevent merchants from hoarding and raising prices, Zheng Yakun has talked with the chamber of commerce and medicinal materials shops, asking them to sell them at a fair price and not to increase prices wildly.

Moreover, all the medicinal materials delivered to Hongzheng Mansion were prepared under the supervision of the Yamen, and prescriptions for treating epidemic diseases were prepared and distributed everywhere to ensure that the people could have medicine to eat and diseases to be cured.

It can be said that what the common people have in their hands are whole packages of medicinal materials prepared according to the prescriptions for treating epidemic diseases, and they will not be placed according to various categories of herbs like this.

Such medicinal materials are only available in the hands of merchants.

However, medicinal materials are scarce at this time, so all medicinal materials purchased from medicinal materials shops in the city are guarded by the Yamen. Basically, they will not be scattered in the alleys and guarded by ordinary people.

Or is it that some people secretly smuggled these medicinal materials into the city in order to make a fortune and make a fortune?

His Highness the Third Highness had a gloomy expression on his face and was about to speak, but the young man at the head was full of vigilance, "Who are you and what are you going to do!"

"Then who are you and what are you doing here?" His Highness asked, "Where do these medicinal materials come from?"

"We bought it!" the boy replied. Seeing the unkind tone of His Highness the Third Highness and others, he was also a little unhappy. He just put his hands on his hips and shouted with eyes wide open, "You don't live by the sea. You are so lenient."

, you don’t care where I got this medicinal material from, I just don’t want to steal or rob it.”

Seeing that the boy was speaking very harshly, Rong Liang also choked, "Bold!"

"As long as you don't steal or rob, you'll be fine. Tell me honestly where this medicinal material is going to be transported and what it's used for! If you continue to tell nonsense here, I'll take you to the Yamen for punishment!"

"Who are you, and why did you drag me to see the official?" The boy still showed no fear at all. Instead, he glared at Rongliang and His Highness the Third Prince, and even said, "In broad daylight, you are pretending here, trying to rob us.

There are no medicinal materials at all!"

"If you are still entangled and want to covet our medicinal materials, be careful and we will send you to the Yamen!" The boy next to him also joined in.

"That's right, we are the slaves of the Zi family in Anmin County. My eldest son has a very good relationship with Magistrate Zheng. If you are sensible, you should leave as soon as possible, otherwise..."

"Don't blame us for being rude!"

The four servants were looking at His Highness the Third Prince, Rongliang and others with vigilance and anger.

When His Highness the Third Highness heard this, he was stunned.

These people are domestic slaves of the Zi family in Anmin County, wouldn't that mean...

"Fengzhu, what happened?" Su Yunruo saw his servant arguing with someone and hurriedly came over.

"Miss," the leader Fengzhu explained hurriedly, "while the young ones were guarding the medicinal materials, these people jumped out and didn't know what they were going to do. The young ones thought that these people probably had evil intentions. Seeing that we have a cure for the epidemic,

I want to get some medicinal materials."

"Nonsense!" Rong Liang was so angry, "It's obvious that you are hoarding medicinal materials here. My master just asked a few questions out of curiosity. You have an arrogant attitude and arrogant words. You can't tell where the medicinal materials come from.

If you don't get the medicinal materials, what should I do? I just want to send you to the Yamen to ask clearly."

"You're all right, why are you asking about the origin and whereabouts of our medicinal materials?" Fengzhu shouted back unconvinced, "You don't have a plan in mind..."

"Fengzhu!" Su Yunruo shouted.

Fengzhu stopped talking and looked at Su Yunruo, "Miss..."

"We haven't asked clearly about the matter yet, so we can't just talk nonsense and jump to random conclusions." Su Yunruo looked at Fengzhu with a burning gaze, and then said to His Highness the Third Highness, "My servant was so arrogant, please forgive me."

"I just don't know why your Majesty insists on asking me about the origin and whereabouts of this medicinal material, but what's the matter?"

Although Su Yunruo was dressed like a woman at this time, she was still dressed in a smart outfit. She was very capable and looked very heroic. Her aura was quite sharp, which made people feel fearful.

His Highness the Third Highness did not answer Su Yunruo's inquiry, but smiled slightly, raised his hands and saluted, "Hello, Miss Su."

"Do you recognize me?" Su Yunruo was suddenly surprised and unconsciously looked at the person in front of him.

She is about the same age as her, has an outstanding appearance, a good temperament, and is quite elegant in her brocade robe. It seems that she is not an ordinary person, but Su Yunruo can't remember where she has seen such a person.

"I can't say that I recognize it. I can only say that I heard Mr. Su mention it." His Highness the Third Highness said with a smile, "Previously Mr. Su was responsible for transporting grain for disaster relief. I met him often. I heard Mr. Su mention that there is a little sister in the family.

.”

"Just now I heard your servants mention that they are slaves of the Zi family in Anmin County. Since they call you Miss, I guess you are the resolute, smart and capable little girl Mr. Su calls you."

"I heard Mr. Su and Dr. Su mention before that Miss Su was ambushed by gangsters while escorting a batch of relief food and was seriously poisoned. Is Miss Su fine now?"

I see.

Su Yunruo nodded slightly, looked at His Highness the Third Highness again, and said happily, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Dr. Su has excellent medical skills, and he was all well earlier."

"How does Miss Su know my identity?" This time it was the Third Highness's turn to be surprised.
