Si Ning smiled and looked at Yuan Wai Li opposite him. In this small town on the border, Yuan Wai Li was considered a well-known wealthy family.
In peacetime, Mr. Li was particularly fond of doing good deeds and accumulated a lot of fame, and the people trusted him.
He found out that there was special medicine in Si Ning, so he brought a group of people to buy it.
Si Ning offered two hundred coins, which was higher than the price the government had asked for a few days ago.
The people he brought were a little hesitant, "The medicine in the government office is not so expensive."
Li Yuanwai didn't think so. He had been an official before and knew that all the government officials made were shady money.
They asked for a hundred cents, but the medicine was probably not even worth a cent.
At that time, he also queued up to buy medicine, but he did not take the medicine immediately after he bought it.
First, because he contracted the disease for a short time and it was not that serious.
Secondly, he didn't really believe in the people in the government office. When he heard that the imperial court had sent a miracle doctor, he didn't believe it even more.
There really is a miraculous doctor who will prepare the medicine the same day he comes, so he won't have to wait so long.
He also had his own source of information and knew that the emperor had given the imperial envoy a death order and that the medicine was prepared within a few days, which made Li Yuanwai feel even more strange.
Sure enough, someone went to the government office to cause trouble a few days ago. The government office suppressed the matter, so Yuan Li found Si Ning.
He believed in Si Ning more than the government office, and there must be a reason for the high price.
He took the lead and bought the medicine. Seeing this, other people who were still hesitant also bought a pair and went back to try it.
Everyone thought that if they didn’t eat well, they wouldn’t eat bad either. Who would have thought that it would actually work?
The queue in front of the dilapidated temple was full of people, but the price of 200 yuan still kept many people away.
Only some wealthy families dare to queue up here.
After listening to Yuan Li's words, everyone followed suit.
"It's true. Miss's medicine is very effective. I took it yesterday and I feel better today."
Everyone was following Si Ning, but Si Ning didn't hesitate and accepted everyone's kindness with a smile.
Business at the government office was bleak, but business at Si Ning's side was booming.
When Zhou Zhengsheng and Wang Huiming received the news, they were in the Yamen wondering what the problem was.
As a result, his subordinates came to report that someone in the ruined temple in the south of the city was selling medicine to treat the epidemic, costing 200 coins a piece.
Wang Huiming looked surprised, "Who is so bold and dares to peddle openly? Go and catch him!"
Zhou Zhengsheng, however, kept an eye on it, "How is the medicine effective?"
The subordinates did not dare to hide anything and told everything they knew.
"It is said to be able to cure epidemic diseases."
Wang Huiming also came to his senses, "Is it really so useful?"
The person standing below didn't dare to answer. Everything was just hearsay, and he didn't know whether it had any curative effect.
Wang Huiming looked at Zhou Zhengsheng and asked in a low voice.
"Master Zhou, what do you think about this matter? Should this person be arrested or not?"
"Of course we have to catch him for stealing the prescriptions from our Royal Hospital. This is a serious crime!"
As soon as the words fell, the two looked at each other in tacit understanding, and Wang Huiming sent someone down to arrest him.
After Si Ning sold out all the medicine in his hand, he stood at the door of the ruined temple.
Qiu Ju was worried that she would catch cold and asked her to go in, but Si Ning did not move.
"They are coming soon. Pack up and let's go meet old acquaintances."
Si Yihan was not here, and he was sent by Si Ning to do other things. Si Ning only told him what the specific matter was.
Qiu Ju didn't know, but seeing that Si Ning refused to go in, she followed her and stood outside.
In the previous life, Sining traveled to both the north and the south of the Yangtze River. The border in this era should be the north in later generations.
The place where Sining was born was the north, but later he moved to the south.
In her memory, she also had a happy time in the orphanage. Although it was different from the childhood of ordinary children, she still missed it very much.
The smell of childhood will be remembered for a long time, so that Si Ning suddenly misses everything in the orphanage when he is standing here.
There was the sound of footsteps. Si Ning straightened his cloak and stretched out his hand towards Qiu Ju.
Qiu Ju hurriedly stepped forward to help the man, and soon the two were surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers.
Si Ning looked at the leading general and asked unclearly.
"What do you mean, Lord Official?"
"Are you here selling the antidote to the epidemic?"
The official expected to see a cunning and profiteer, no matter how good he was, he would be a strong man. Who would have thought that he would be a half-grown girl.
Si Ning wore a light green jacket, which made her skin fairer.
Although she had her hair tied up, she still looked like an unmarried little girl.
People can't help but wonder, such a fairy girl is actually a thief who steals the prescriptions from the imperial hospital?
Si Ning nodded, "It's not a sale, it's a normal transaction."
Trafficking is a bad word.
Seeing her admission, Guan Chai winked at the brother behind him, and soon someone stepped forward to capture Si Ning.
Qiu Ju positioned herself in front of Si Ning, holding the dagger at her waist, but was stopped by Si Ning.
"Qiu Ju, don't be rude."
She asked the officer opposite, "Sir, I wonder what crime I committed that made you mobilize so much force to arrest me?"
The official looked at Si Ning and Qiu Ju with a straight face.
Judging from the way they were dressed, they looked like maids from a wealthy family, so they were willing to talk to Si Ning a little more.
"You stole the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor and sold it on the street. Don't you know that this is a crime?"
"What theft? When did my wife steal?"
"Qiu Ju!"
Si Ning called out and Qiu Ju shut her mouth.
Si Ning then looked at the official opposite and continued to ask in a soft tone.
"I wonder why the official official thinks that I stole the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor?"
"this……"
"Stop talking nonsense. Whether you stole it or not, we will find out after you go back to the Yamen for a trial."
The first general didn't know how to answer, so the people next to him answered for him.
The crowd once again stepped forward to detain Si Ning, but this time Si Ning said nothing.
She winked at Qiu Ju, who no longer resisted and let them come forward.
Xu felt that both of them were women, so they only tied them up with ropes symbolically and did not put on chains.
The two were taken into the Yamen and locked up immediately.
Fortunately, they were held together and not separately.
Qiu Ju looked at her surroundings and felt indignant.
"Who are they? They dare to lock you up. Madam, how can you let them do whatever they want?"
Si Ning, however, didn't take it seriously and found a place to sit down. "Why are you in a hurry? Sit down first."
"But..." Seeing that Si Ning could still sit peacefully, Qiu Ju knew that his wife must have some plans, but she still couldn't help complaining, "You are so delicate, how can you come to a place like this? If the master finds out, I'm afraid that I feel so distressed."
When it came to Lu Hanxiao, Si Ning remembered to ask.
"Has he received your message?"
Qiu Ju didn't know, "In the past, if I received news, my master would reply if he had any instructions, but this time he didn't..."
"Madam, don't worry about what's going on with the master for now. You can't stay in this prison forever, can you?"
Si Ning said, "Don't worry. How we got in depends on how someone invited us out. Just wait."
