Daming King of Punishment

"This son is early."

The clerk from the pharmacy greeted Bai Zhuo with a calm face.

Bai Zhuo nodded slightly, glanced left and right, and went straight to the counter.Behind the counter, the shopkeeper stood there, looking at him, waiting for him to speak first.

Behind the shopkeeper was a whole medicine cabinet with a wide variety of medicinal materials. Bai Zhuo glanced at these medicinal materials before opening his mouth.

"Shopkeeper, it hasn't been long since the beginning of spring, and I feel that my throat is very dry. I don't know what medicine to take to make my mouth full of fluid?"

Bai Zhuo would no longer think about buying ginseng and the like. After all, thinking about a few hundred taels of silver made his heart ache.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled at Bai Zhuo: "Master, you can't grab the medicine randomly. Although what you said, we have an ordinary prescription here. But I think it's better to let our doctor in charge give it to you. Take a look first, and then prescribe the right medicine, what do you think?"

"Yeah!" Bai Zhuo didn't expect this, the Chu family is really careful in doing business, he hesitated a little and agreed: "Okay, let's take a look first."

The clerk brought Bai Zhuo to the side, and the doctor sitting in the hall had already prepared the pulse pillow.Bai Zhuo sat down, stretched out his right hand to the sitting doctor.

After the sitting doctor put his hands on Bai Zhuo's pulse, a look of doubt appeared on his face: "My lord, this pulse doesn't look like someone with a disease!" Although he was a little surprised, after looking at Bai Zhuo and asking, he cautiously went on again. Confirmation: "Please open your mouth, sir."

Bai Zhuo opened his mouth obediently, and the doctor carefully inspected Bai Zhuo's tongue coating, then frowned slightly: "Master, did you come to our Chu family pharmacy to have fun? You don't look like a sick person. "

Bai Zhuo was not ill at all, what he said just now was nothing more than random nonsense.Originally, I thought it would be simpler to say that I could buy the medicine for just a few dollars.The sitting doctor gave him a pulse, which he didn't consider at first.

However, Bai Zhuo's mind turned fast enough at this time.He watched the face of the sitting doctor change again and again, and he was also surprised and said: "It shouldn't be! Doctor, is it because my symptoms are not obvious enough?"

"Your complexion is ruddy, and your complexion is very good. The old man just checked your pulse, and the pulse is stable and strong. Could it be that you think that the old man's decades of experience in practicing medicine are all blown out?" Hearing Bai Zhuo's words, the sitting doctor seemed He was even more annoyed, after all, Bai Zhuo's words clearly questioned his medical skills.

Seeing that the sitting doctor was angry, Bai Zhuo began to feel anxious. He didn't have much time to think about it, so he thought for a while and said, "When I sleep this night, I can often feel that my mouth is so dry. Especially After getting up early in the morning, it was even more uncomfortable, as if it was going to smoke. And the urine turned yellow, and it was very dry. If I didn’t drink a lot of tea and drink a few bowls of porridge after getting up, I’m afraid The speech is hoarse."

In front of the doctor, Bai Zhuo never thought that he could be fooled.After all, whether he is sick or not, an experienced doctor can tell just by looking at his face and complexion, so he can only talk in a small way, so that the doctor can't be sure.

Sure enough, when he said this, the doctor showed suspicion on his face, looked at Bai Zhuo and pondered for a while and said, "According to the young master, does the young master drink less water recently?"

"Hey! What you said is absolutely right. Since the beginning of the spring, I have been together with friends and have a few drinks almost every day. Isn't it Mrs. Chu's birthday party these days? I just made a few new friends My friend, I have been drinking together all day, so I really didn’t drink much water.” When Bai Zhuo heard the doctor’s question, he guessed that the symptoms he just mentioned were probably caused by this, so he went down the slope. Donkey said a pass.

Only then did the doctor's expression soften, and he nodded slightly: "So that's it! That young master's illness is not considered a serious illness. Go back and drink more water, and you'll be fine in a few days." After the doctor said this, he continued Added a sentence: "If you want to recover as soon as possible, you can prescribe a prescription for clearing away heat and detoxification."

"Let's prescribe a prescription, this feels really uncomfortable." Bai Zhuo nodded immediately, with a troubled look on his face.

The doctor nodded at him, and immediately greeted the assistant: "Xiao Liu, take this young master to prescribe a prescription for clearing away heat and detoxifying."

There is no need for a doctor to prescribe such an ordinary prescription, the clerk in the pharmacy already knows it by heart.

The young man brought Bai Zhuo to the counter, and immediately went to the medicine cabinet, grabbed a few medicinal materials in a few moments, weighed them, packed them into several bags, and brought them to the counter.

The shopkeeper glanced at it, opened his mouth and said, "My lord, two taels of silver."

"Two taels of silver?" Upon hearing this, Bai Zhuo immediately exclaimed, "Why is it so expensive? This is just an ordinary prescription, so it won't cost so much money, right?"

"Young master is right, this is indeed an ordinary prescription. If it were changed to the past, it would not cost a lot of money. But this year, the price of this medicinal material has changed. When we received the medicine, the price doubled, so this The price went up." The shopkeeper patiently explained to Bai Zhuo with a smile on his face.

Bai Zhuo frowned, hesitated for a while and said, "Forget it! Two liang of silver is not much, here you are."

Saying that, Bai Zhuo took out two liang of silver, put it on the counter and at the same time picked up the medicine bag and turned to go out the door, muttering as he walked, "Why is it so expensive?"

"Young master, go slowly." After the waiter sent Bai Zhuo away enthusiastically, he turned around and returned to the counter.

As soon as Bai Zhuo left, the young man looked at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, listen to what the young master said just now. The medicinal materials have indeed increased too much today. The usual prescription of a few renminbi has been multiplied several times. If the people in the city have any kind of disease, it will be looked down upon."

"Hey!" The shopkeeper sighed: "What can I do to increase the price of this medicinal material? The Chu family opened the drugstore to make money, otherwise where would the money come to support us. Don't worry about this, go and get that Wipe the medicine cabinet next to me, I just looked like it was dusty."

The little boy pursed his lips, picked up the rag, shook his head and walked to the back.

Bai Zhuo left the Chu family pharmacy. Seeing that there was no one around, he turned around and walked into the alley next to him.He quickly opened the medicine bag and mixed in the things he had already prepared.After wrapping up again, after waiting for a while, he straightened out the expression on his face, and angrily left the alley, heading towards the Chu family pharmacy just now.

"Is this how your Chu family pharmacy does business? Is the big shop bullying customers?"

Bai Zhuo, who returned to the Chu family pharmacy again, yelled so loudly that the crowds on the street had just increased, and he was immediately attracted to him.

The man who was still cleaning the medicine cabinet, as well as the shopkeeper and the doctor sitting in the hall, heard the shouting outside the door, and hurried out to see what was going on.

The three of them looked at Bai Zhuo who had gone and returned, standing in front of the door with his hips akimbo and yelling, their faces were full of doubts.The little guy looked at the shopkeeper at the side. The shopkeeper shrugged his chin when he looked at him. The little guy immediately understood and came towards Bai Zhuo.

"Young master, if there is anything wrong with our Chu family pharmacy, I invite you to come in and have a cup of tea to calm down and talk slowly."

The clerk greeted him with a smile, but Bai Zhuo didn't give him this face at all, he just picked up the medicine bag in his hand and threw it on the ground viciously.

"Drink tea! What kind of tea to drink! I'm afraid that you will poison my tea!" Bai Zhuo still shouted loudly, trying to attract more people to come.Pointing to his pocket on the ground, he said sternly, "Look for yourself, what kind of medicine did you grab for me? Not to mention the dregs of the medicine, it's actually moldy! Thanks to you saying that the price of medicine has risen this year, There is no way to increase the price of this medicine. Just this ordinary medicinal material, ordinary prescription, from the original prescription that was less than a penny, it has been directly converted to two taels of silver. I see that your Chu family has such a big business I thought that you would not deceive us ordinary people, and I would give up two taels of silver. But you use such things to fool me? If this medicine is used to save lives, these things of yours will not be fatal Poison?"

The shopkeeper saw that the young man couldn't stand Bai Zhuo anymore, and hurried out, he hurriedly apologized to Bai Zhuo: "Young Master, please calm down, I think there must be some misunderstanding here."

"Misunderstanding? Could it be that I deliberately found fault?" Bai Zhuo yelled angrily after hearing this.

The shopkeeper also looked suspicious, not knowing how to respond to Bai Zhuo's words, he knelt down, looked at the medicinal materials on the ground, and said after a careful look: "This shouldn't be! Our pharmacies are all top-notch." Medicinal materials. Even if it is an ordinary medicinal material, then we all choose good products. You..."

In a hurry, the shopkeeper couldn't say anything, he didn't even have time to judge what was mixed in the medicine.

He got up and looked at the guy beside him: "How did you grab the medicine just now?"

"I... I caught all good ones!" The little guy was completely dumbfounded, after all, he caught Bai Zhuo's medicine just now, and he knew what medicine he caught, but the medicines in front of him were also real. Really.Feeling aggrieved, he raised his head and took a peek at Bai Zhuo. Looking at his angry eyes, he probably guessed in his heart that this was definitely done on purpose by Bai Zhuo.But right now he didn't dare to speak, there was a shopkeeper in front of him, and Bai Zhuo was their customer, so he could only hold back for the time being and wait for the shopkeeper to deal with this matter.

"Okay!" The shopkeeper next to him listened to the boy's words and shouted: "You go back first."

After receiving the signal from the shopkeeper, the young man turned around and returned to the pharmacy resentfully. The grievance on his face was enough to show what he was thinking at the moment.

After the shopkeeper had dismissed the boy, he turned to Bai Zhuo with a smile still on his face, "Master, there must be some misunderstanding! Our Chu family pharmacy has always been famous for doing business. I will not do such immoral things. This kind of thing happened today, and it is definitely not a solution to argue here. If the young master is unwilling to believe me, then I am willing to let the young master enter the pharmacy and open the medicines one by one. After the inspection, the store will recapture a new set of medicinal materials for you, and return all the silver taels that you originally received."

In addition to Bai Zhuo's understanding of what was going on in front of him, the shopkeeper also understood it in his heart.He knew that Bai Zhuo came here deliberately to find fault, and he must have encountered such a person before.He was also unwilling to argue with Bai Zhuo over such a matter, but chose to compromise so as to stop there.

This was not Bai Zhuo's purpose, how could he listen to the shopkeeper so easily and stop there?

He raised his brows and snorted coldly: "Hmph! Are you afraid that the people around you will look at it and it will affect the reputation of your Chu family pharmacy? It's not a lot of money. Even if I throw away the money today, I will expose the true face of your Chu family in front of the people of Huai'an Mansion!"

"My lord, you and I know exactly what's going on. If you insist on making things big and making everyone unhappy, then our Chu family has never been afraid of anyone in Huai'an Mansion! "The pharmacy shopkeeper saw that his persuasion was useless, so he put away the smile on his face and became much more severe.

Bai Zhuo originally wanted to make matters worse, so he didn't care anyway, and sneered, "Don't think that you, the Chu family, can fool the people of the whole city by playing tricks behind their backs." After a sneer, Bai Zhuo He suddenly turned around and turned around a few times: "Folks, listen to me! Have you heard about the plague outside the city?"

Originally, Bai Zhuo's intention was on the common people in this city, he didn't come here to argue with the shopkeeper of this pharmacy.Seeing that there were quite a few people gathered around, he immediately turned his attention to them.

As soon as he said this, it immediately attracted a burst of discussion from the surrounding people.

Rumors of the plague have been around for a long time. This month, it is not the first time that the people in Huai'an Prefecture have heard about the plague.

At this moment, Bai Zhuo brought up the old matter again, and once again brought up the matter of the plague, how could the common people not discuss it, after all, it was a matter related to their personal safety.
