"Young master of the Chu family, young lady of the Chu family, old lady of the Chu family! Please, open the door!"

"Please save us!"

"Yes! We are not stronger than your family's medicinal materials!"

Pleadings sounded in front of the Chu family's gate, and the common people knelt in front of the Chu family's gate with fearful faces, begging the Chu family to show mercy at this time, so that they would be spared from this plague. die in.

But the gate of the Chu family's courtyard was closed tightly, and there were servants all around.

The housekeeper standing in front of the door looked at the people below with a look of sarcasm on his face.

"You know how to be afraid now? Didn't you all snatch things from our Chu family before? You took away all the medicines, and we have no medicinal materials. Don't say that our Chu family doesn't help you. In the past, our Chu family was not I have never treated you badly. Not long ago, our old lady came back from the capital to celebrate her birthday, and the tens of thousands of taels of silver that entered the city gate were given to you. You said thank you, and gave our Chu family's business in a blink of an eye. It's dirty. Now you still have the face to come to the front of our Chu family, please show some face and go back quickly!"

The butler of the Chu family was sneering at these poor people. It's no wonder that he was mean, and the fact is exactly the same.His words made it impossible for those people to refute, and they did not dare to refute anything.They all hope that the Chu family will save their lives. If they offend the Chu family at this time, wouldn't they be forcing themselves to die?

"It's all our fault! The Chu family has a great career, and they don't care about this. What's more, the Chu family is so noble, why bother with us silly little people! Please come out and meet us, the old lady of the Chu family .”

At this time, the common people all admitted their previous mistakes, but only hoped to see Mrs. Chu and plead with Mrs. Chu.From their point of view, Mrs. Chu is kind-hearted, and she will definitely not just watch them like this.

But the housekeeper ignored them, and said unceremoniously: "Want to see our old lady? I'm afraid you have no good intentions, do you want to pass the plague to our Chu family? Let me tell you, You should give up on this idea. The Chu family is the same now. Don’t you all have medicine? Go and treat your illness yourself! We have several pharmacies in the Chu family, and now there is not even any medicine residue. How do you ask us to save you? ?”

No matter what the steward said here, it was naturally impossible for the common people to leave.Seeing more and more people gathering, the housekeeper also became worried.Although the members of the Chu family didn't go anywhere these days, they couldn't resist going out for something important!

Now that the main entrance of the Chu family is blocked by so many people, it is difficult to get out.

The housekeeper's face also gradually revealed a look of embarrassment, and he hesitated.

The three brothers and sisters of the Chu family naturally knew about the affairs at the door of the house.After the First Young Master Chu and the Second Young Master Chu heard the news, their naturally happy mouths couldn't close their mouths.And Miss Chu wanted to go out and say a few words to the people, but was stopped by his two elder brothers.

"Brothers, you can't let the common people just kneel at the door!"

Seeing Ms. Chu's anxious face, Second Young Master Chu smiled and said, "Little sister, it's not that I don't care about them. What did I say just now? I said that they will soon kneel in front of our Chu family's door and beg. Do you think this is the case?" Are they here? We can’t just let them go. We can’t just go out and give them an explanation as soon as they come. It’s not that we won’t give them an explanation. Sooner or later, we will give them an explanation. But before that, let them kneel first. , or they are all healed and the scars are forgotten. Let them feel hopeless, and when they really feel hopeless, let's go out and give them hope. In this way, these guys must thank us, Chu Jiaru, for thanking ourselves Parents are the same."

In this way, the three brothers and sisters of the Chu family were patient and made these people wait for a long time.Originally, Second Master Chu wanted them to wait, but Miss Chu couldn't bear it anymore.

"Second brother, you don't want to go out, so I'll go, little sister." Miss Chu couldn't sit still any longer. The more she thought about the people outside, the more she felt guilty. After all, the plague incident was also related to them. If there is no such plague, there will be no such things in recent days.

Seeing that Miss Chu insisted on going to the door, the Second Young Master Chu naturally did not stop her. After all, there is no way to stop her.

Simply, he followed Ms. Chu to the gate, but Mr. Chu didn't want to see these people, and he stayed here and didn't go anywhere.

The door of the Chu family opened, and Miss Chu and Second Young Master Chu appeared in front of everyone.

Those people who knelt on the ground, bowed their heads and cried, became excited when they saw the two of them appear.

"Miss Chu, Second Young Master Chu, please help us!"

The people were about to swarm up immediately, but they were stopped by the servants in front.

Like Miss Chu, Second Young Master Chu frowned, not knowing how he felt about this scene.

Miss Chu, who insisted on coming out, was preempted by her second brother before she could speak.

"I say, folks!" The Second Young Master Chu looked at these people coldly, rolled his eyes upwards, and said in a disdainful tone: "Our Chu family used to be in this Huai'an mansion in the past, and we have done everything we can to you. Some people smeared our Chu family before, saying that the plague was caused by our Chu family and Guanshan restaurant to harm everyone. At that time, the little girl tried her best to explain to everyone that the reason for the increase in the price of medicinal materials was not because we wanted to make a fortune, but because of the source. Not only did you not listen to the persuasion, but you even gathered a crowd to rob the pharmacy of our Chu family. But what about our Chu family, who suffered such a heavy loss, did we pursue it with you? Now that the plague is really coming, you think of our Chu family at this time Is it? Why didn’t you think about the present before? It’s all right now, the Chu family has no medicine, and everyone is waiting to die in this Huai’an mansion!”

The second son of Chu said coldly, venting his dissatisfaction with these Huai'an people.

His words made these people kowtow to them again, expressing their innocence and remorse, and begging them to save their lives regardless of the past.

The second son of Chu had finished venting his anger. Miss Chu looked at the blushing foreheads of the people in front of her, and she didn't know how many times she had kowtowed in front of the Chu family. She couldn't bear it, so she hurriedly opened her mouth.

"Folks! Now that the plague is coming, our Chu family does not want to see it. What the second brother said just now is nothing more than anger in his heart. But don't worry, everyone, the Chu family will not leave you alone. A letter has been sent to the capital a few days ago, presumably some medicinal materials will arrive from the capital in the near future."

Ms. Chu hadn't finished her words, but such good news made the people in front of them very happy, and they all showed smiles to complement the tears on their faces.

Ms. Chu hurriedly and loudly calmed down the happy mood of the people, and then she continued: "Originally, it is inevitable that the price of medicinal materials will increase. After all, the Chu family is in business, and they want to earn some money, otherwise Chu The family is also unable to support the many people who work in the Chu family. Originally, this plague was non-existent, but I did not expect it to happen. The Chu family had considered that although the price of medicinal materials was high, they also thought that if the plague really came, we would It is natural to save everyone at a loss. But what happened a few days ago caused the Chu family to suffer heavy losses, so this time the Chu family's drug prices may not be able to be lowered."

985 Chapter heavy siege

? Chapter 985

When Ms. Chu spoke about the price of the medicine, the faces of the people present immediately changed.Obviously, the high price of medicine is beyond the reach of most of them, and those who can really afford the price of medicine will not be so pleading with the Chu family here.

"But Miss Chu, we really have no money!"

"Please do me a favor!"

Even though the Chu family agreed to take care of them, they still refused.

The second young master of Chu's face immediately changed when he heard this. He was not as polite as Ms. Chu, and he scolded angrily: "You don't have any money, should we spend all the money our Chu family has? This time How much money have we lost for the medicinal materials? If you accompany me again, all the shops of our Chu family will be closed. You look around the Chu family, these people, they work like cows and horses in our Chu family. You can’t even give them a bite to eat, can you?”

The Second Young Master Chu's words were not particularly harsh, but he also expressed the Chu family's position.Regardless of whether his words are true or false, there is nothing wrong with this truth.

All the shops of the Chu family were looted, and many people made money from them.Now the Chu family has indeed lost a lot. Although it will not make the Chu family impoverished, it is indeed a serious loss of vitality.

But no matter what they said, the people in front of them still kept the same words, they didn't pay attention to them at all, they just kept begging.

Seeing them like this, Second Young Master Chu was even more angry, thinking that you deserve what you are now, and who made you mess up before.

Ms. Chu also didn't know what to say. After all, it is absolutely impossible to give them the medicinal materials of the Chu family for nothing. Those medicinal materials are of great use.To put it bluntly, it may not be necessary to say that these medicinal materials belong to the Chu family, after all, most of the money will be given to Guanshan Restaurant.

"Folks, listen to me." Miss Chu still wanted to say something.

But those common people didn't listen to this at all, and kept begging.Seeing this, the Second Young Master Chu at the side stepped forward unceremoniously and grabbed Miss Chu and said, "Little sister, don't waste time with them here. Our Chu family is not mean to them on weekdays. You See how they treat our Chu family, and repay their kindness with hatred. Our Chu family is not a temple, and it is impossible for them to eat porridge and let them eat meat."

Throwing down such angry words, Second Master Chu forcefully pulled Miss Chu back.

After the Chu family's gate was closed again, the people gathered in front of the Chu family's gate had other thoughts in their hearts.

Although some people in the city looted the Chu family's shop before, not all of them participated in it.But now there is a plague in the city, and the Chu family is the largest medicine merchant in the city, and they are recovered by the Huai'an Mansion, so they are so stubborn.

As the saying goes, being rich is not benevolent.This may not be true for being rich and being unkind. In the eyes of these common people, the Chu family at this moment is being rich and unkind.Apart from other things, based on the current situation, the Chu family did not do anything wrong.

Back home, Ms. Chu blamed her second brother and said, "Second brother, you shouldn't have said that just now. Now it's time for our Chu family to re-establish its image in the hearts of the people, but you don't let them see our good side , I'm afraid they may not appreciate such abusive words."

"Little sister, you didn't look at them. It was obvious that they robbed us before, and now they are kneeling in front of us, and they want us to give them alms again. How can there be such a thing in this world?" Things? Our Chu family is rich, but did the money fall from the sky? Didn’t our Chu family earn it by taking care of our heads?” The second son of Chu was really angered by those people. He ignored what Ms. Chu said, and pointed angrily in the direction of the gate and said, "What are they? Kneel on the ground and say a few nice words, and our Chu family will have to give them all the money." ? If there is such a good thing in the world, then why should our Chu family take the risk to do it, wouldn’t it be enough to just kneel on the street every day?”

The Second Young Master Chu was in a fit of anger at the moment, and Miss Chu saw that the Second Brother would not listen to what she said, so she sighed and stopped talking.

Just as he finished speaking, seeing the expression on Miss Chu's face, he didn't pay much attention to it. After thinking about it in his heart, he asked in doubt: "If you count the time, this capital should send a message back, right? Why are we here now?" Haven't heard anything yet?"

"Yes!" Ms. Chu was slightly surprised when she heard this: "I have told them before that the medicinal materials are in a hurry, and they should be delivered overnight. Calculate the time, let alone the news of the medicinal materials, it is the medicinal materials. It should have arrived too."

"I'll go find someone to ask, maybe something happened on the way and it's delayed. But it's good, so that these medicinal materials will not be robbed by these guys after they arrive." The second son of Chu muttered and left out.

Miss Chu didn't say anything, but just entered the hall.

Just when they were wondering why the medicinal materials in the capital hadn't been delivered to Huai'an Mansion.The imperial army stationed in a village not far from Huai'an Mansion came to Huai'an Mansion under the order of King Jin.
