Chapter 259: Drinking Poison to Quench Thirst! [Subscribe Please]

When the whole city was in turmoil

Qinghe Chamber of Commerce seemed to be a clear stream flowing into the sea!

One branch after another opened in the face of difficulties, and one shop assistant after another covered their mouths and noses with cloth strips and began to move large quantities of food to the door of the store.

"There is food, there is food here!"

"Hurry, hurry, Qinghe Chamber of Commerce has food!"

The people on the street who had not yet grabbed food gathered around excitedly!

The shop assistants lined up to block the flow of people, and the branch shopkeeper shouted loudly: "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, my Qinghe Chamber of Commerce has specially taken out a large amount of reserve food for the benefit of all the neighbors!"

"The boss said that no matter how the price of food in the outside world soars, we will sell it at the usual price of 45 wen per catty, but each household is limited to purchasing 5 catties a day, everyone line up, line up!"

After a round of shouting!

The crowded people on the street finally felt a little relieved.

Then there was a thunderous cheer.

"Great, Qinghe Chamber of Commerce is great!"

"Miss Yan is kind, the neighbors all remember your kindness!"

"Thank you, Miss Yan!"

The neighbors were excited and their gratitude was beyond words!

I believe that after today, the good reputation of Qinghe Chamber of Commerce will surely spread.

If we are lucky enough to survive this disaster, it will be enough to lay a good foundation for future development and growth, at least the reputation among the neighbors will not be bad.

How can this catastrophe and turmoil end just like this?

Everything is just a drop in the bucket!

"I'm going out for a while!"

Wei Hong casually explained a few things, carrying a large bag of food, meat, and medicinal materials and walked out of the Chamber of Commerce from the back door.

Now that the turmoil has just started, the order has not collapsed yet!

There are masters from Yanyu Tower secretly protecting Qinghe Chamber of Commerce around it.

So Wei Hong is not worried about the safety of Yan Qinghe and others.

As for him, he was just going to deliver some supplies to Deng Haisheng. Now his relatives and acquaintances have been arranged, but he still doesn't know what's going on, and he doesn't know whether he has bought any food.

As expected!

As soon as Wei Hong walked to the door of Deng Haisheng's house, he heard bursts of coughing in the courtyard. It was obvious that he had been infected with the plague.

After knocking on the door, Deng Haisheng, who looked weak and pale, came out in a robe and opened the door. Seeing him, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "Why is it you?"

"Besides me, who else would care about you, an old and lonely person?" Wei Hong laughed and joked.

"That's right, cough cough!"

Deng Haisheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. After inviting him in, he dragged his sick body to boil water for tea.

"Don't be busy, take a rest!" Wei Hong put down his things and looked around, and found that his house was empty and the rice jar was empty.

Obviously Deng Haisheng had been ill for a few days, and there was no food left at home!

The supplies brought by Wei Hong just solved his urgent need.

"Here are 100 kilograms of rice and flour, 30 kilograms of bacon, and a few packets of medicinal materials!" Wei Hong casually reminded: "You can drink the medicine yourself later. It can eliminate epidemics and strengthen the body. It will cure your illness in less than three or five doses. Stay out less recently!"

"Okay!"

Deng Haisheng agreed with a complicated look.

He looked at Wei Hong, and then at the full supplies. He couldn't help but feel very emotional. How could he accept such a cheap apprentice.

"Luckily, I have you, otherwise I would either die of illness or starve to death!" Deng Haisheng sighed leisurely.

"Don't talk about this!" Wei Hong said indifferently: "Eat and use the things first, I will send you another batch in a few days. It's not worth much!"

"Okay!" Deng Haisheng couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "I hope your medicine is useful. Get well soon. I guess I will be busy next time."

"Oh?"

Wei Hong was a little surprised.

What else can an executioner do?

Even if a great plague breaks out, there is no need to go around chopping heads!

"You don't understand!" Deng Haisheng coughed lightly and poured himself a cup of warm water, and said helplessly: "Although plagues do not often break out in the capital, every time something happens, idle personnel from various departments will be drawn to deal with it. Now there are just some signs of plague. The higher-ups may not have responded yet, but there will definitely be big moves in a few days."

"By then, we will have to drive a bunch of people with plague to one place and let them fend for themselves, and we will impose martial law in the whole city to eliminate the plague!"

"We either get sick and are driven to one place to fend for ourselves, or we have to throw corpses and burn them. In short, we will definitely not be idle!"

Wei Hong had no doubt about this!

The Great Zhou Dynasty has been established for 800 years. What scenes have they not seen?

There are naturally ways to deal with the outbreak of plague in the capital of a country. I believe that the entire Imperial Hospital will have to be mobilized in a few days, right? I just don't know how many people will die after a disaster.

"I'm leaving first!" Wei Hong didn't stay any longer, and said, "If you have any trouble, come to Wei's house to find me. The butcher shop is closed recently!"

"Okay!"

Deng Haisheng silently sent him to the door!

As soon as Wei Hong walked out of the alley, he saw dozens of Three Immortals believers carrying the statue of the god and walking through the streets, giving talisman water to passers-by along the way, attracting countless people to worship!

"The Three Immortals have come to the world to save all living beings!"

"Talisman water cures diseases and prolongs life!"

The believers kept shouting slogans.

Many poor uncles and aunts held incense and followed the statue tremblingly, kowtowing every step, just to ask for a mouthful of talisman water to treat the patients!

Many people in the crowd have already developed symptoms of coughing!

Even many people coughed up blood and fell to the ground while walking, scaring the people around them to scatter in a hurry, fearing that they would be contaminated by the bad luck.

At this time, the Three Immortals would come forward with a friendly face, help the weak patients who fell to the ground, and then give them a mouthful of talisman water to drink.

After a while!

These weak patients would slowly wake up, and then become energetic, as if most of their illness had gone away.

In this way!

The people on the street naturally became more crazy!

They rushed to chase the procession of the Three Immortals, and the streets were full of fallen incense ash. The scene was exaggerated and evil!

"What a weird method!"

Wei Hong couldn't help but frowned.

He observed everyone on the street with his spiritual eyes, and he could find that the gray gas on them was getting thicker and thicker. Every mouthful of talisman water from the Three Immortals seemed to stimulate their life potential and make these people temporarily energetic!

But in fact, this is like drinking poison to quench thirst!

After the life potential is exhausted, they will eventually die.

The Three Immortals Sect's move is definitely a disregard for human life. This is in the capital of the Great Zhou, under the feet of the emperor. How dare they do this?

And Wei Hong absolutely does not believe that no one in the Great Zhou royal family will be able to see through such a dirty trick! This is probably tacitly approved.

"What exactly does the Three Immortals Sect want to do?" Wei Hong felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
