"Give back my son's life! Give back my son's life!"
A woman in her forties with disheveled hair fell crying at the door of Yishantang Medicine Hall. Her hoarse cry made people coming and going stop and watch, with a look of sadness on her face.
【what happened?】
[Sister-in-law Li's youngest son suddenly had a high fever last night. Sister-in-law Li took the child to the medicine hall to see a doctor. The doctor prescribed medicine. At that time, he said that it was very effective. A medicine would cost three taels of silver, and a medicine with a slower effect would cost one tael.
, who can afford medicine that costs three taels of silver a pair? Sister-in-law Li prescribed medicine that cost one tael of silver a pair, but her son didn't survive last night.】
【died?】
【died!】
【Oh my god! This...】
[Mainly, Sister-in-law Li took a closer look at the one-tael medicine. The ginseng powder inside is not ginseng, but radish seeds. How can it cure diseases?]
【Fuck! This is so immoral】
The crowd was talking in low voices, while Sister-in-law Li sat on the ground, her hair disheveled, crying and cursing.
"In the past, we only had a few hundred copper coins for a medicine to last us. There was a person who had a cold, a headache, and a brain fever. Everyone could afford to treat the disease and save his life. Now my son only has a cold and a fever, and even a tael of silver is not enough to save his life.
.
Is it your conscience to let a dog eat it? Sell me the radish whiskers for a tael of silver!
Doctors are kind-hearted, but you sell medicines so expensively, how can we, the common people, live?
Everyone can't afford medicine or medical treatment. People all over the world are dying of illness. Are you happy?
If we die of illness, who will you rich people enslave in the future?
Who is going to carry the big bags at the dock, who is going to sweep the streets, who is going to wash clothes, pick up manure and deliver food to you rich people, who is going to wait on people... My poor son, he is not even qualified to wait on people.
No, he was only five years old and just gone.
Take radish whiskers as ginseng. Those of you who lack great virtue, please open your eyes and see. We are a family of five. We get up to work before dawn and dare not go home until it is completely dark. We live frugally.
I tried my best to make money, but I still lived without even getting sick.
Guys, please help me and seek justice for me.
It’s me today, but it might be you tomorrow. Who has a lot of money and can afford this medicine?
A pair of effective medicine costs five taels of silver. One pair can only be taken for three days, and a course of treatment lasts seven days. It costs ten taels of silver. Oh, among you here, who has ten taels of silver at home?
Are you waiting to die if you get sick?
Do you deserve to die if you are poor?
It doesn’t matter if I’m too lazy to eat, I’ve obviously worked so hard!
I'm sorry, my son is five years old. He has only eaten two meals of meat in total. On New Year's Eve, they were gray dumplings made of fat meat mixed with half a bowl of vegetables. My son's life is miserable. What's the point of living this life?
I'm so exhausted that I can't even save my own son's life. What's the point of living?
Son.
Mom will seek justice for you today. If you don’t get this justice, I will bump into your head and die in front of the county government office!”
Sister-in-law Li sat at the door of the medicine hall and cursed for a long time. No one in the medicine hall came out. She shed tears, got up and walked to the county government office.
Many onlookers followed him.
None of them looked very good-looking.
The one who dies of illness today is Sister-in-law Li's son, so the one who dies of illness tomorrow may be their son. Who can guarantee that he will never get sick in his life?
But the price of this medicine is getting more expensive every day!
It finally came down a while ago, but now it suddenly rises again, even higher than before.
If this continues, who can afford medicine?
And not to mention, not even the eldest princess has bought any medicine today.
Winter is coming soon, and this year's cotton fabrics are more expensive than in previous years. If prices don't drop, it will really be hard to survive.
Everyone was filled with indignation, and some scholars wrote an impassioned petition for Sister-in-law Li for free.
County government.
The county magistrate ordered the eldest princess to be placed in a side courtyard.
When the general took the eldest princess over, he made an excuse that the county government could not accommodate the eldest princess's escort team, so the escort team stayed at Beiji Temple for the time being.
Only two accompanying maids and several doctors came with him.
"Sir, please take out the best red flowers quickly. Your Highness looks like this and you must take medicine immediately." Dr. Qiao said to the county magistrate with an anxious look on his face.
The county magistrate looked good on his face and walked out of the courtyard to have someone lock the courtyard door with a big lock.
The maid in the courtyard ran to the gate and banged on the door, "Why did you lock the door? Why did you lock the door? You are so presumptuous! This is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"
The county magistrate stood outside the door and snorted coldly, "The emperor said she is the eldest princess, then she is the eldest princess. The emperor said she is a prisoner, then she is a prisoner. Don't blame me for being cruel. If you want to blame, blame you for losing your life.
good!"
"You, you tricked us here on purpose! You are despicable! Aren't you afraid that our Highness's escorts will chop you up alive!" the maid inside yelled.
The county magistrate said contemptuously: "They will come if they have the ability. The princess is in my hands, do they dare to be so presumptuous?"
"you......"
The people in the courtyard were still yelling, but the county magistrate felt that the sound of the curse sounded better than Qu'er.
This feat of his was accomplished without the cost of a single soldier.
Humming a little tune, the county magistrate walked towards the inner courtyard, and then walked to the door where Su Luo was imprisoned. A government servant hurriedly ran over, "Sir, it's bad, someone's son died of illness yesterday, and now he is in Yishantang Medicine Hall.
There was a commotion at the door, he was scolding the medicine for being expensive, and many people were watching."
The county magistrate looked sarcastic, "Go ahead and make trouble. They have made trouble so many times. Don't worry, they can't make trouble. These people, as long as they have a mouthful of food, are more suitable for raising in captivity than sheep. Let Yishantang close its doors."
Don't pay attention to it, she has no money and is still asking for the price of medicine!
If the quarrel gets serious, wait until dark and find someone to beat him up. If he can't get up tomorrow, no one will make trouble."
Who will solve the problem?
The fundamental thing is to deal with the troublemakers.
If no one is making trouble, there will be nothing going on.
Perfect.
After giving the instructions, the county magistrate entered Su Luo's courtyard in a very good mood.
The two maids in front of Su Luo had been locked up, and his people were waiting in the courtyard. As soon as they entered the courtyard, the county magistrate asked, "Where are the people?"
A waiting woman immediately said: "I was in the house. I woke up and made a fuss. The old slave told her that the eldest princess had been captured by the adults. She immediately wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost, and she also
Stop making trouble."
The county magistrate raised his eyebrows.
Not a chaste and martyr woman?
Tsk~
Not interesting.
He walked into Su Luo's house.
When she entered, Su Luo was sitting in front of the dressing table facing the bronze mirror. As soon as he came in, Su Luo immediately turned around and looked towards him.
There was unconcealable fear in his eyes, like a little deer.
That look in his eyes, coupled with the delicate facial features on his face, tickled people's hearts.
Otherwise, my daughter Qiao needs to be filial.
This look of being on the verge of tears and being frightened is really amazing.
Su Luo pursed her lips, "What do you want, sir?"
There is no longer the arrogance and pleading that just came to ask for the red flowers, only a sense of restlessness.
The county magistrate was pleased by her behavior and said, "What do you think? You are already a married woman. You don't need to play this riddle with me. You can't guess what I want to do? Your mother-in-law is lying in bed waiting to die now. She
But without your good treatment, good food and drink, and being served by others, what do you think I would do?"
