Daming King of Punishment

Page 782

Helplessness is helplessness, but what should be said still needs to be said.

"Not all the medicinal materials have increased in price, but only some of them. Just imagine why the price of this medicinal material has increased at this critical moment? What does this mean?"

"Are you trying to say that the increase in the price of this medicinal material has something to do with the plague?"

It wasn't until this time that Situ Wen became serious and said something strange.

"Wen'er is really smart! It's exactly what I thought!" Song Wuya immediately got off the donkey and clapped his hands happily.

Seeing his happy look, Situ Wen didn't forget to pour cold water on him: "Have you found any real evidence? Or are you just trying to use this to prevaricate me so that I don't care about what happened just now?"

As soon as these words came out, Song Wuya, who could still maintain a troubled expression, was now extremely embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Situ Wen completely saw through his thoughts. Seeing Bai Zhuo and Xiaohuan covering their mouths and giggling, Song Wuya didn't know what to say.

But he still bite the bullet and said: "Wen'er, how can you think of me like that? Am I that kind of person? Although I haven't found any real evidence yet, as long as we do a little investigation, we will be able to find out this The inside is tricky!"

"Hmph! It really hit the spot. You just want to prevaricate me so that you can fool me." Situ Wen didn't listen to Song Wuya's clues or anything like that here, and just focused on the point. He glanced.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Song Wuya was extremely anxious.He gave Bai Zhuo a wink at the side, so that Bai Zhuo could help him, maybe for Bai Zhuo's sake, Situ Wen would not continue to hold on to this point.

But after Bai Zhuo saw his wink, he turned his head and looked aside, pretending he didn't see it.

"Uncle, why are you always fooling Miss?" Xiaohuan was afraid that she couldn't stand it anymore, so she immediately interrupted and said something complaining.Immediately after looking at the expressions of the two, he gave Song Wuya a wink and said, "Master, you still haven't admitted your mistake to Miss. Miss is not angry with you, just coax her."

At the critical moment, Xiaohuan was still caring, knowing that Song Wuya was in a dilemma and didn't know how to continue talking, so she simply said such words, giving Song Wuya and Situ Wen a step up.

"Wen'er, I was wrong." Song Wuya is naturally not the kind of person who doesn't understand things, and he doesn't have any masculinity. It's okay to admit his mistake to Situ Wen at a critical moment.

Sure enough, after Xiaohuan said that, Situ Wen couldn't continue to hold on to this matter, so she gave Song Wuya a cold look and said, "Hmph! You just don't change after repeated admonition. For Xiaohuan's sake today I have been on your horse before, don't think that I will spare you next time."

Speaking of which, Situ Wen got up, gave Song Wuya a blank look again, walked past him towards the door, approached Song Wuya, stretched out her jade finger and poked his forehead forcefully.

"Hmph! Xiaohuan, ignore them, let's go shopping."

Seeing the two leave, Song Wuya's heart immediately became angry, and he said angrily at Bai Zhuo: "Well, Bai Zhuo, you don't know anything about the critical moment, and you look like you want to watch a good show from the sidelines." .”

Being criticized by Song Wuya, Bai Zhuo immediately retorted: "Brother Wuya, this is entirely your own fault. I warned you when I was leaving the house, but now that it's all right, if something goes wrong, you can blame me instead. .I just deliberately didn't help you to talk, so that you could suffer a little bit."

"You..." Song Wuya was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing what Gao should say. "Forget it! I'm too lazy to argue with you about this. Drink some water and rest, and go out later to investigate the drug prices in Huai'an Prefecture."

"Then shall we go to all the medical clinics and pharmacies in Huai'an Mansion?" Bai Zhuojian asked seriously when he talked about the business.

Song Wuya immediately shook his head: "I'm afraid this is not appropriate. After all, we don't know which pharmacy belongs to the Chu family. If we ask too many questions, the Chu family will become suspicious, which will be counterproductive. I don't think we should do it." I asked the people in the industry, just ask the people on the street. Presumably there are so many people in Huai'an Mansion, there will be no one who is not sick. Has the price of medicinal materials increased? How much has it increased? When did it increase? Someone will always know."

"That's true. If the increase in the price of medicinal materials is really related to the plague outside the city, then it's really a big problem." Bai Zhuo nodded in agreement, and then expressed his thoughts. "Brother Wuya, this plague has caused many wars in history, and it was all caused by dead people. Now a large number of people have died in Huai'an Mansion. Perhaps this is the source of the plague. The woman we met earlier said that there was a person He escaped from the dense forest in the South Mountain, got seriously ill, and died not long after. Could this person be infected with the plague?"

"Very likely!" Hearing this, Song Wuya couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and paced the room with his hands behind his back: "If the situation in the dense forest is true, then this plague is I think it was created. Brother Bai, do you still remember that after we entered Shanyang County, the waiter at the inn immediately brought the yamen guards to arrest us. They didn’t have any reason to arrest us. I’m afraid their purpose is very simple. They wanted to kill us. On the contrary, the people from the Chu family were completely fine once they opened their mouths to explain their identities, and this is probably not just because they came from a famous family."

"Brother Wu Ya, those yamen servants already knew that the Chu family is the same as them!" Bai Zhuo understood the meaning of Song Wuya's words, and said along the way. "Where do we start our investigation now? Just ask someone on this street?"

"Let's go, let's go out first and then we'll see what kind of people we meet." Naturally, Song Wuya didn't think much about it, it will depend on the situation at that time.

After a short rest, the two immediately came to the street.

Walking on the street, Bai Zhuo immediately suggested that it's better to go directly to the teahouse, drink tea in the teahouse and see if there are any talkative people, and ask those people.

"Brother Wu Ya, I think we should go to the teahouse. Anyway, we always inquire about news in the teahouse. I think the teahouse will definitely gain something."

"Don't go to the teahouse. I think it's just on this street, and maybe there will be something to gain."

Song Wuya did not agree to Bai Zhuo's proposal, but searched around on the street.

"It's a fortune-telling, it's a fortune-telling!"

The two were discussing, and among the noisy voices, there was a fortune-telling shout that was very eye-catching.

This person's voice is like a broken gong, hoarse and unpleasant, and the recognition is extremely high.

As soon as he heard this voice, Song Wuya couldn't help looking for it.

In a few blinks of an eye, I found the fortune-telling stall at the corner of a tea house on the street.

"Brother Wu Ya, we are here to inquire about news. What do you think a fortune-teller is doing? Could it be that you still want to get something out of him? These fortune-tellers are all charlatans. You can't ask anything out of your mouth."

Seeing Song Wuya stop, Bai Zhuo stopped immediately, following Song Wuya's eyes turning left and right, and finally fixed on the fortune teller.

Song Wuya smiled slightly: "Brother Bai, come along. This fortune-teller is well-informed. He has dealt with everyone, so he must know a lot. The two of us are also smart people, how could we be fortune-telling by him alone? cheated?"

Bai Zhuo was worried about Song Wuya, but he was not afraid at all. He greeted Bai Zhuo and walked towards the fortune teller.

When he got close, the fortune-teller raised his head and glanced at the two of them, and naturally saw that Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo were coming for him.However, he put on airs at this time and did not take the initiative to recruit the two of them.

"This gentleman, what's your name?" Song Wuya came to the hexagram stall, greeted him and sat down.

After hearing this, the fortune-teller said seriously: "The iron-mouthed fortune teller Niu Banxian said that he is a half-immortal."

After saying this, the fortune-teller did not forget to point to the banner on the side, on which these seven big characters were clearly written.

"Hey! Mister is such a great name!" Song Wuya couldn't help but smiled and was taken aback when he heard the name, he might be able to scare people just by hearing the name.

The fortune teller could hear Song Wuya's tone, as if he didn't believe him.

"Young master, you don't have to worry about doubting this half-immortal, just give it a try and you will know whether this half-immortal is an iron-mouthed god or not."

?Chapter 9 Fourteen

The fortune-teller was quite trusting, he didn't care about Song Wuya's suspicion at all, and had to verify it on the spot.

For this, Song Wuya naturally felt that there was nothing wrong with it.Naturally, this fortune-telling is to make people believe that he is accurate, otherwise how can anyone come to fortune-telling.

If you want to attract business, it is inevitable that you have a famous name. This half-immortal alone makes many people who encounter difficulties eager to try.

"Okay! Since the half-immortal said so, then I will ask the gentleman a question."

Everything is too fast, otherwise Song Wuya will not be able to proceed with what he is going to do next.

"Does Banxian know the purpose of our two brothers coming to Huai'an Mansion?"

Although Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo both spoke official Chinese, and ordinary people couldn't hear it well, but after careful identification, it was still somewhat different from what local people said.The words that come out of this mouth carry a lot of local accents.

"I was far away just now, and this half-immortal has already noticed the two young masters. I have already figured out that the two young masters have something to ask me, otherwise this half-immortal would not have sat here so calmly waiting for the two Yes. The two are foreigners, so others may need to listen carefully to their accents, but this half-immortal can tell with just one glance."

This Niu Banxian was talking big when he opened his mouth, which made people feel ridiculous.

But this is understandable, after all, who is in the fortune-telling business, who doesn't say some mysterious and weird words, otherwise, how can they scare the people who come to fortune-telling?
