Chapter 366: Master Qian’s Plot
Song An Ning looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Zhu Yuan's house was in chaos.
A lady in luxurious clothes came out of the house and shouted angrily:
"Shut up, you rude people!
"Wang Erhu, come here and ask Mr. Qian to bring a doctor to see you."
The man named Wang Erhu was an official. He was also anxious at this time. After hearing what his wife said, he hurriedly shook his head.
"Madam, you don't know, if there was nothing wrong outside, we would have called the doctor here long ago.
But from yesterday until now, many people in the town have fallen ill, and now all the clinics and drug stores are crowded with people.
I went there several times and couldn’t even squeeze in.”
The lady was stunned for a moment, and her face became even more angry:
"I don't care about others, but that guy named Qian, he goes to the government office every few days, seeing patients and delivering supplements, always saying that our master is fine, but now that everyone is like this, he is hiding away.
Bring more people with you and bring him here even if you have to tie him up. Those lowly people outside are not as valuable as our master.
You fool, what are you still standing there for? Go now! "
Seeing his master was angry, the officer was embarrassed, but he still gritted his teeth and led his men to the Qian family.
Song Anning was still in the form of a swallow, landing on the roof and letting Xiangxiang scan her.
"Master, that Zhu Yuan is going to die.
He also contracted the disease. If he were a normal person, it wouldn't be a big deal. He would be cured by taking the medicine we gave him.
But he was unlucky. There was poison in his body from Miss Zhou Nanxing, and he was too fat, so his organs could not bear it.
Even if a great immortal came today, he wouldn't be able to save him. According to Xiangxiang's estimation, he can still live for more than an hour."
"People like this are dead. If a good county magistrate could come at this time, the people of Ping'an Town would live a better life."
"Then isn't the master afraid of someone even more ridiculous? Someone who's even more incompetent than Zhu Yuan."
"Then continue to die. One or two is not enough, three or four of them can play mahjong together. They take the imperial salary, but only care about their own enjoyment. What kind of officials are they?"
After Song An Ning finished speaking, she flapped her wings and flew towards the Qian family.
Mr. Qian is just a businessman and he knows nothing about medical consultation. Song Anning is a little worried that Zhou Nanxing will be pushed out at this time and used as cannon fodder.
When she landed on a tree branch in the Qian family's yard, the officials had not arrived yet.
At this time, Zhou Nanxing was nowhere to be seen in the huge Qian family's house, and the location card showed that she was near the jewelry shop.
The servants in the mansion were busy packing up. Master Qian was sitting in the main hall drinking tea, listening to the housekeeper and the servant reporting to him about the situation outside.
"Master, it's chaos outside.
The pharmacies were crowded. People were afraid of death, so they would buy up even common cold medicines.
I tripled the price of the medicine as you said, but it was still sold out.
From yesterday afternoon until now, the medicinal materials have almost been sold out, and we have earned tens of thousands of taels of silver."
After hearing this, Mr. Qian clapped his hands happily, praised the two of them, took out a few banknotes from the thick pile of banknotes on the table and distributed them to them.
"Hahahaha, well done.
Two hundred taels of silver per person, spend it.
Anyway, they are sick and won’t live long, so give me the money in their final days and I will spend it for them…”
"Thank you for the reward, Master..."
As Mr. Qian waved his hand, the two men walked away happily holding the banknotes. He was the only one left in the room. He held the thick stack of banknotes with a cruel smile on his face.
"Master Xiangxiang is so angry!
Mr. Qian is really a bad person. Ordinary people spend so much money on medicine just hoping to survive.
Take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, damn it! "
Song An Ning circled over the Qian Mansion and saw several low-key carriages parked in the backyard, all loaded with things.
"This old thief wants to run away, he's dreaming!"
Xiangxiang looked at the location of the officers. They were still several hundred meters away from the Qian family, but Mr. Qian had already packed up his things and was ready to slip away through the back door.
He was accompanied by a man who had some experience in martial arts. The two of them were whispering something, and Zhou Nanxing's name could be vaguely heard.
"Xiangxiang, listen carefully to what they are saying."
"Master Qian said he was going to push the Qian family's mess onto Zhou Nanxing. This bitch has been a mistress for so long and has enjoyed herself enough. She has to pay a price.
In addition, the man said that the tenant of the medicine shop and the name left when purchasing the medicinal materials were both Zhou Nanxing, and the rest of the matters have been taken care of as well."
"He made the money, but he wants someone else to clean up the mess? What the hell...
He took out a puppet, transformed it into the appearance of a child, ran to find the officials, and said that the master of the Qian family was at the back door and was about to run away.
Xiangxiang, write another note, write down what he did, and then have the child find Zhou Nanxing and give her the note."
"Okay, Xiangxiang is ready."
"That's great! Let's go watch the fun."
The puppet was a very fast boy of six or seven years old. He rushed out of the alley and bumped into the policeman.
Those people wanted to get angry, but when they saw it was a little kid, they said in a bad tone:
"Whose child is this? Go home quickly.
It's so noisy outside, be careful you might get trampled to death."
But the little boy was not afraid at all. He stared with big eyes and said cutely:
"Sir, someone told me to tell you that the master of the Qian family wants to escape and is at the back door of the Qian family."
"What? You want to run!
Thank you, little baby, for coming home early."
The officer's tone softened a bit, and the child just nodded and ran away.
The remaining few people looked at each other, anger welling up in their hearts. Was he taking them for fools?
"Want to run? Break his legs and see how he runs!"
“You two go guard the front gate, you go to the west corner gate, and the rest of you follow me to the back.
Before he leaves, quickly arrest him and take him to the government office."
The leading officer looked at the Qian family mansion not far away, spat fiercely, drew his long sword, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
As for Zhou Nanxing, she had closed the jewelry shop, covered her face with gauze, and was leading her servants to help the people from Yaowang Valley distribute medicine to the people.
After all, she came from a medical family, and she really couldn't bear to see this. She thought that if her parents were still alive, they would definitely work day and night to develop prescriptions and go to the streets to treat the people.
"Oh, my silly sister.
"A lifetime of wisdom can lead to a moment of confusion. It's already this late, what are you waiting for?"
Song An Ning sighed. Zhou Nanxing was kind after all. It would be too unfair if the old thief from the Qian family took advantage of him at this time.
On the street, Zhou Nanxing had just distributed a basket of medicine and was about to tell the people in Yaowang Valley when she saw a little boy throwing himself at her feet.
"Oh, whose child is this? Doesn't he even look at the road? If he falls, your parents will be heartbroken."
She helped him up and brushed off the dirt on his body.
The child smiled nonchalantly, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said crisply:
"Someone asked me to give it to you. Come on, sister."
Zhou Nanxing took the note and saw the two lines of words on the paper, his face changed instantly.
"Damn old thing..."
When he looked up again, the child was gone.
She held the note tightly, saying thank you to whoever was helping her.
Then she looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so she lowered her head and walked into an alley.
Pushing open an inconspicuous wooden door, you will see a very simple courtyard, but the location is very tricky. If you look from above, you will find that the back room of the jewelry shop is adjacent to the wing room of this courtyard.
After entering the house, in less than a cup of tea, Zhou Nanxing had changed his appearance, dressed very simply, and walked out carrying a small basket.
She walked all the way to the west of the city, and imitated the others, entering from a courtyard, changing her face again, and coming out of another courtyard, turning into a middle-aged woman, carrying a bag and walking out of the city.
"My goodness, if there wasn't a location card, I wouldn't have believed this was Zhou Nanxing even if I had been following him.
It’s so well prepared.”
Song Anning admired her sincerely, and she felt a lot more at ease as she watched the young lady getting farther and farther away on the map.
On the other side, at the Qian family's house, the officers waited at the door for a long time, but no one came out.
Just when they thought the little kid was talking nonsense, there was finally movement inside the door.
"Wow, the timing is perfect.
I just got back, and the show is about to begin, eat melons, eat melons..."
