Master Wei was speechless. With great difficulty, he helped Ning Wan save 200,000 taels, but in the end, the man still disliked not spending the money. These hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were spent like water.
What a waste!
"Master Wei, besides medicinal materials, is there anything else I can buy in Mingcheng?" Leng Li suddenly asked.
Master Wei nodded, thought for a while, and then said: "There are many merchants here. In addition to those selling medicine, there are also those selling grain. It's just that this grain and grass trade cannot be done without a document from the imperial court!"
A document from the imperial court? Leng Li thought about it and took out a token from his arms.
"Can I use this item in exchange?"
Master Wei was startled when he saw the token. He looked at Leng Li in surprise.
"Good fellow, you actually have the token of the Imperial Guards of the capital. Who are you?" I thought you were just following Ning Wan as a guard, but I didn't expect that you turned out to be a guard with some background!
"It's best that Master Wei doesn't know my identity, otherwise I'm afraid it will cause trouble for you! Anyway, it will take half a day for them to load the truck and leave the city. Why don't we use this half day to buy food!"
Just as he said, Leng Li took Master Wei to the grain market. Ever since he followed Master Wei on such a trip, Leng Li discovered that this little old man was full of treasures!
No one in the palace knew about Leng Li's departure, but the eighth prince went to the imperial study to ask for orders, but was scolded by the emperor.
"You dare to go against my will, He Lianhong, you are so brave!"
He Lianhong knelt on the ground and said: "Father, the epidemic is spreading everywhere in the city. If we just kill people, it will not solve the problem of the epidemic at all. Instead, it will make the people resentful. If this matter spreads, it will harm our country, Yan."
Not to mention the national prestige, it will also be detrimental to you, Father! This action of my son is also to restore the people's support!"
People's hearts? The emperor sneered and said: "I never believe in the so-called people's hearts. Do you think that if you save them, they will be grateful to you and support you as the prince? He Lianhong, I have taught you for so many years.
, why don’t you understand that the only way to scare the people is to be gentle, and to be gentle will only make them worse!"
This is not the first time that the epidemic has occurred in the Yan Kingdom, and it is not the first time that the emperor has faced this matter. His previous handling method was the same as now. As long as he found those who had the epidemic, he would directly kill and burn them. Slowly, it came.
All the people affected by the epidemic were killed, and the disease disappeared.
Although the method is a bit cruel, it is indeed the easiest solution for the emperor, so when the people of Dayan mention the emperor, everyone will tremble with fear.
"But Father, they are also your people. Nowadays, epidemics have appeared in many places in our country. If we blindly kill people and ignore the people's support, I am afraid that there will be more..." He Lianhong said the following words.
Dare to say it.
The emperor felt that although his son was well-educated and had a serious attitude towards his work, he still lacked the courage to make decisive decisions.
"What are you afraid of? Can they rebel? You just said that the doctor who treats the epidemic is that Ning Wan?"
He Lianhong nodded, raised his hands and said, "Yes, it is Ning Wan who was given a marriage by the emperor to his uncle!"
The emperor's eyes flashed, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
"This woman is interesting. There is a way to heaven but she will not take it. There is no way to hell. She will find it on her own! Since she likes to be in the limelight so much, let her go for treatment and inform the hospital that my will is not to give her any medicinal materials. I will
We want to see what method this woman, who is called the Living Bodhisattva by the people, can cure the epidemic!"
He Lianhong looked at the emperor in surprise, probably because he didn't expect that he would do this.
The emperor looked at him and said coldly: "Silly boy, I don't care about the lives of those untouchables. The people I care about more are right here in the palace! In his hand, he holds the lifeline that can overthrow the imperial court.
As long as this tiger charm is not handed over for one day, he will never leave!"
"As for the young lady from the Duke's Mansion, if she cannot cure the epidemic, she will die. Your uncle is a lover. Even if he is unwilling to do so, he must hand over the Tiger Talisman to me!"
After hearing these words, cold sweat broke out on He Lianhong's back. He had known for a long time that his father was a scheming and unsympathetic person. Only now did he understand how terrifying his father was.
!
"My son understands. I will draft an edict now and ask Miss Ning to issue a military order!" The emperor nodded after hearing this. It seemed that his son finally understood.
How could Ning Wan know that while she was busy and risking death to treat the refugees, the emperor was planning how to kill her and Helian Mochuan.
"Miss, the eighth prince is here again. He said he was here to announce the decree!"
Ning Wan frowned, walked to the door of the warehouse, and heard the voice of the imperial edict being read out.
"The emperor has decreed that you and other disaster victims must stay here for treatment. The imperial court will send troops to guard. If anyone escapes secretly, he will be killed regardless of the reason! In addition, the doctor here needs to issue a military order. If there are any people here,
If you die from the epidemic, the doctor will be held accountable. The court will not give you food and grass, let alone medicinal materials. Whether you can survive depends on your own destiny!"
