The streets of Dongwu Street are very noisy.
At the second quarter of Shenshi, Zhong Ziyu, a green shirt, walked into a medicine shop at the end of the street.
At that time, there were few people in the medicine industry. The shopkeeper in front of the hall didn't move, but the young man who followed him warmly welcomed him. He opened his mouth and asked, "what do you want to buy, young man?"
Zhong Ziyu looked at the name of the medicine in the cupboard and said, "rat medicine."
The boy nodded, bent down and took out a small oilpaper bag at the bottom of the cabinet, and handed it to the counter: "a bag of five Wen."
Zhong Ziyu reached for the small medicine bag, took it apart and spread out the white powder inside.
"Not enough." He said.
The young man was stupefied and subconsciously said: "don't worry, young man, you don't see that this thing is just like this. It's absolutely enough. This powder is not dried. You mix water and pour it at the mouth of the waterway. In the morning of the next day, you are sure that a nest of rats will be poisoned there."
Zhong Ziyu "tut" sound, also lazy to fight, directly said: "such a small bag, give me 20 bags."
The kid's expression was a little embarrassed, and he explained: "well, that's not right. You don't know, this rat medicine not only poisons mice, but also is afraid of people eating by mistake. Therefore, there is a fixed amount of this kind of medicine sold in general medicine shops. One can only buy two bags at most."
Zhong Ziyu frowned: "a pack of ten Wen, give me twenty packs."
The young man was puzzled: "here This is really not good. We sell things here to keep books, which are submitted to yamen for review every quarter. We dare not come here disorderly. "
Zhong Ziyu stopped looking at the boy and turned to the shopkeeper on the other side.
The shopkeeper also paid attention to this side before. When he saw the guests coming, he went over and looked at the young man.
I told the shopkeeper the situation in a low voice.
The shopkeeper is also very difficult: "you don't know what arsenic is, cut grass, rat medicine and other things that are harmful to people. Yamen has set up a quantitative system. Not only our medicine shop, but also all the counties in the West. Not only the counties in the west, but also the whole Xianyan country. How big is your family? Where can I use twenty packs of rat medicine? In the second entrance yard, this bag is enough for everyone like Li's family in our county, and two bags are enough for one family. Otherwise, I'll take two bags for you. If you go back and don't poison the rats, come back tomorrow? "
Zhong Ziyu's face was very bad: "how can there be so many rules for things with a few Wen?"
The shopkeeper's dry smile: "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Then Two bags for you? "
The shopkeeper's voice just dropped, so the boy quickly picked up another bag smartly.
The shopkeeper wrapped the bag carefully, and then took the other one, and handed it to the guest: "ten Wen of Chenghui"
Zhong Ziyu did not lift the two bags of medicine. When he took out the silver, he was still unhappy: "there are not so many rules in the capital, but you should be strict here."
As soon as the shopkeeper heard that the guest was from the capital, he laughed: "it's no wonder that it's the young master from the capital. The capital is at the foot of the emperor, so it's easy to say anything. But in this small place, where the emperor is far away, what order is issued at the top, how to implement it at the bottom, can't be a little against, let alone about human feelings..."
Zhong Ziyu paid ten Wen: "if it's not enough, I'll buy it again tomorrow. Can you still sell me?"
The shopkeeper laughed, but he didn't agree. He said, "please walk slowly, please walk slowly."
As soon as Zhong Ziyu saw it, he understood and asked unwillingly, "this is the only medicine shop in your street?"
The shopkeeper immediately went back and said, "there's an alley in the middle of the street where there's a doctor's shop. It also sells some herbs, and there's rat medicine."
Zhong Ziyu no longer said anything, turned out of the drugstore.
At the opposite corner of the medicine shop, Liu Wei is leaning against the wall, waiting.
After Zhong Ziyu passed by, he handed her two packs of rat medicine and shook his head.
Liu Wei, with two bags of Medicine between her fingers, picked up her eyebrows and said, "won't you sell it?"
Zhong Ziyu nodded, "it's all the same. They say they can sell two bags at most."
Liu Wei took the medicine bag apart, evaluated the quantity, then frowned: "enough, such a small bag needs at least 300 bags."
Zhong Ziyu also leaned against the wall beside him and calculated: "there are twelve medicine shops and medical centers in the whole Xijin County, each of which has two or only 24 packages. If you want to buy 300 packages, you need at least 12 people."
"At the same time, the twelve pharmacies are too miscellaneous. It's a little reluctant to walk all in one day."
"And every store receives 12 people who buy rat medicine on the same day. Is it doubtful that such a big goal will be achieved?"
"And the weight of three hundred bags is the weight of killing one person. Two people get at least six hundred bags."
After half a day of singing together, they came to an obvious common answer: the way to get medicine is not the same.
"Not so, and what? Did Wan bring it from tingjiangzhou? " Zhong Ziyu guessed.
Liu Wei shook her head: "Wan Shi's hatred for Jiang Shi is because she found out that Jiang Shi had an affair with sun Tong. This discovery was only known after she and sun Tong received the news of Sun Jian's death and returned to Xijin county. That is to say, she could not plan the following actions in tingjiangzhou. She was inspired temporarily, so Zhang Mazi and rat medicine were all in Xijin county Prepared. "Zhong Ziyu calculated again: "two days after the Wanshi came to the west to enter the county, sun Tong died, and then two days later, Sun Jun died, so close to the time, how did she make a good layout in two days?"? It's not enough time to buy medicine. The most important thing is that the kind of rat medicine you said to kill Zhang pockmarked is very special. It's enough to kill people with just a little. "
"Black doctor." This is the only possibility Liu Wei can think of.
Zhong Ziyu agreed, but felt a little vague: "the black doctor naturally has money to buy anything, but where is the black doctor? Since it's a black doctor, he won't be listed. How can I find him if he doesn't? "
Liu Wei thought for a moment, and looked at the medicine shop opposite, then at Zhong Ziyu.
Zhong Ziyu's face changed: "is it me again? I've just been there, and it's doubtful that I'll go again. "
Liu Wei "tut" said, "you are the young master from the capital. What are you suspecting? How dare they treat you?"
Zhong Ziyu said reluctantly, "then I can't ask the black doctor to tell me."
Liu Wei patted him on the shoulder: "take out your wisdom. You were not eloquent when you abducted a good woman?"
Zhong Ziyu frowned. "I don't know how to talk."
Liu Wei hissed: "Oh, before killing people, it was to hook a finger, people will go with you?"
Zhong Ziyu's serious face: "yes."
Liu Wei: "..."
Zhong Ziyu raised his chin with a slight irony under his eyes. At the same time, he stood in front of Liu Wei, put his hand against the wall behind her, and held her half in his arms. He said in a low voice: "you heard that before, I said, I'm very selective. I can't see anyone's skin, and I can't kill anyone. You should understand those killed by me Are you really good people? "
Liu Wei raised her eyelids and stared at his face: "where is the sister of big girl and little girl?"
Zhong Ziyu paused, as if remembering for a moment. "She's not a good person either," he said
