After Waking up Beside the Villain

Chapter 166 Transmigrating to "The Pear Garden of the Republic of China" 10 Doctor Chu, Ch

Since the beginning of summer, there has been less fog and fumigation in Haicheng. Early in the morning, the sun climbed up from the east, and it was bright everywhere. Even the narrowest corners in the deepest part of the alley were sprinkled with orange-red bright powder. .

The wooden cart carrying Yexiang quietly fled from the corner, and the early morning shops on the street set up their stalls, and the number of pedestrians gradually increased.

Before the store door of Jihetang on the street corner opened, there were already many people waiting at the door.

Most of these people are hunchbacked, skinny, with sallow complexions, and they all look like ghosts who have smoked opium.But in fact, many opium smokers are not like this. At least they still have decent clothes before their family ruins. Unlike these people, their coarse linen is washed white and their faces are full of sorrow.

Some of them are different, the clothes and dresses can be called neat and appropriate, and there is not much anxiety and depression.

Most of these storekeepers Liu recognized. They were servants or long-term workers of some wealthy families nearby, who were sent to buy medicines for the main family.

"Those newspapers outside talk about equality every day. To me, people are really unequal."

In front of the newly opened medicine cabinet, shopkeeper Liu counted the contents of the cabinet for the last time, muttering: "If there is such a thing as equal, then only life, old age, sickness and death..."

The lanky guy was cleaning beside him, listening silently.

There is a layer of cloth curtains inside, today's sitting doctor just arrived, looked out and said: "Old Liu, is it late today?"

"It's half an hour late," shopkeeper Liu said, closing the notebook, "These pills and medicines are sold out too fast, and the goods are almost out of time. Today's batch is late."

The doctor sitting in the hall said: "These things are extraordinary. I bought them back, but I haven't researched them so far. They must be secret recipes. I don't know which family they even sold these things. This is a treasure that can be passed down from family to family!" You Jihetang is really lucky, and you can't stop it, if it weren't for these Chinese patent medicine prescriptions also sold to Peiyuantang, you would be the only one."

"Old Liu, according to me, since you Jihetang don't value the profit so much, and are willing to sell these medicines to the poor at a low price, then you have the idea of ​​helping the world and saving people. In this case, there is a good point in making the prescription public. Why not, why do you have to control it in your own hands?"

"Hypocrite, hypocrite!"

Shopkeeper Liu laughed heartily, but he didn't agree with him.

Nowadays, this occasional act of selling at a low price is not too outrageous, and it has already attracted countless temptations and open and dark arrows. If the prescription is really made public, I don’t know who will benefit it. Anyway, it won’t be the food outside. People who are hungry and skinny.

He is indeed not a kind person, nor does he have any good intentions, but if he can save one more person within his ability, and save the person who should be saved, then it is a good thing, and it is something he is willing to do.

Moreover, no one knew that his Jihetang, which opened all over Haicheng County, and the Peiyuantang, which was sporadically opened in the foreign concession, belonged to the same family.

And these pills and powders, which caused great commotion as soon as they were sold, also came from the same source.

If it weren't for their tit-for-tat confrontation with Peiyuantang, the other Yaotang pharmaceutical factories would not be sitting on the hills and watching the tigers fight until today, waiting to be fisherman, and not intervening in this batch of Chinese patent medicines with great fanfare.

But this kind of superficial calm can't be maintained for too long, from the end of the year to the end of summer, it should be almost the same.

After everything was tidied up, the door of the pharmacy opened, and the people who had been outside the door for a long time couldn't wait any longer. As soon as the door opened, their eyes lit up, and they rushed in a few steps. Go to the new cabinet, open your mouth and grab the medicine.

"Shopkeeper, here are three bottles of antipyretic pills!"

"Me too! Shopkeeper, my child has a fever. I heard that antipyretic pills can reduce fever. Can you get some for me?"

"Shopkeeper, do you have the anti-inflammatory powder today? There is also the medicine for treating tuberculosis and cough..."

The front of the new cabinet was full of people, and the two assistants skillfully arranged the line up.Even so, the Jihe hall was still crowded and noisy, only shopkeeper Liu was still so stable, and no matter how noisy the surroundings were, he still raised his voice and asked the people who came to grab the medicine one by one.

"Some medicines can only be taken after consulting a doctor, and the medicines should not be taken indiscriminately... You can buy antipyretic pills. There are a lot of them today. How many bottles do you want?"

"You have to take at least three meals to see the effect, so don't rush. If you really see immediate results like that, it's not medicine, it's a elixir!"

"You can't even explain your illness, you can't take medicine, go find a doctor inside..."

Asked one by one, the pills and powders piled up on the new cabinet were gradually empty, but the people in Jihe Hall did not decrease but increased, and even lined up outside the door.

Shopkeeper Liu had been busy all morning, and his throat was smoky, so he took advantage of a free moment and asked a clerk whom he valued to take over his work, and went to work in front of the cabinet, while he sat aside to rest for a while, and took a sip Tea moistens the throat.

After pouring three bowls of tea in a row, Shopkeeper Liu was about to squint his eyes and take a nap when there was some movement outside.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Two shouts made the common people at the door of the store shrink their heads and avoid them like a chick who has seen a falcon.

Immediately afterwards, three or five policemen came in, the leader spoke authentic Haicheng dialect, looked around with a smile on his face, and said, "Business manager Liu, business is booming."

Shopkeeper Liu recognized the section chief of the security department, so he got up in a bad mood, took out a ticket from his sleeve and stuffed it, and said, "Section Chief Wang, why bother you to come here?"

"You have an accident here, of course you have to come here. Not only do I want to come, but you also have to come with me." Section Chief Wang collected the ticket, raised his chin, and immediately two police officers came over Hold shopkeeper Liu down and take it out.

Shopkeeper Liu was startled, and hurriedly said: "Section Chief Wang, Section Chief Wang! Nothing happened to Jihetang these days, you..."

"No accident? What do you mean, I made a mistake?" Section Chief Wang narrowed his eyes and sneered.

Shopkeeper Liu was dripping with cold sweat: "Don't dare..."

Section Chief Wang scoffed: "We handle cases impartially and never wrong people. Naturally, there is a reason to arrest you. This morning, our Haicheng County Police Station received the murder case. The Cai Mansion on Baoping Street, Mr. Cai My third aunt is too lost, after a long investigation, I found out that it was the fake medicine from your family."

Although shopkeeper Liu had anticipated this situation, he still gritted his teeth with hatred when he heard this. Such a statement full of loopholes is no different from blatantly framing.

He tried to explain: "Section Chief Wang, Jihetang has a reputation for many years, and will never sell fake medicines, and even kill people..."

Section Chief Wang raised his voice and cut off shopkeeper Liu's voice: "It's a good thing that everyone died from eating it, so it's not a counterfeit medicine!"

He glanced around and saw that people inside and outside the store were discussing, so he waved his hand in satisfaction: "The people and these fake medicines are taken away, so the store will be closed first."

After a burst of kicking, smashing, looting, and searching inside and outside, several police officers took shopkeeper Liu and two clerks away, leaving only a mess inside and outside Jihe Hall.

Almost at the same time, Peiyuantang in the concession was also sealed up by a family and locked up in the patrol room due to the sudden death of a lingering sick old man.

When Boss Meng got the news, he was settling accounts in his own business firm. He threw the account book away when he heard the news, got in the car and drove out.When Yu Jingzhi was found by the private hospital on the edge of the French Concession, Meng Wangda was already sweating profusely. Under the pressure of the scorching sun at noon, he couldn't even breathe properly.

"There is no news about the free clinics in the countryside, and the ones outside Haicheng. It should have no effect. But both Jihetang and Peiyuantang have been planted... Sir, this is a weird move."

Meng Wangda took the tea from Lu Yun, thanked him, and said to Yu Jing in a low voice: "The patrol room in the concession started to move, and half of it was Du Tianming's bastard's forces, very sinister. But the county As for the police station, you gave up to Jiuliuhui the year before last, so there shouldn’t be any trouble.”

"Could it be that?"

Jiuliuhui, as the name suggests, is mostly a group of low-ranking Jiuliu in Haicheng. In the early years, they had some friendship with Yu Jingzhi. Later, when Yu Jingzhi rose and took control of Haicheng, Jiuliuhui took refuge in Yu Jingzhi. a subordinate force.

Yu Jingzhi sat on a chair in the lounge, flipping through the clinical records of the past two days.

Two days ago, Chu Yunsheng walked out of the closed laboratory and told him what happened like a daydream.Afterwards, in order to verify whether this daydream was true or not, he secretly brought Chu Yunsheng and a small amount of medicine to this private hospital that had just opened for less than two months.

He studied Chinese at university, so he can't understand these medical things, but he can understand the clinical records to some extent.At least, he can very intuitively see the success of this antibiotic in these carefully selected patients.

The first antibiotic for foreigners was called penicillin, also known as penicillin. It was announced two years ago and it was a product under military control. Even in Europe, it was not available to everyone, and it was quite rare.As for domestic people, they only heard of their name, but not their body. Even with Yu Jingzhi's power, he couldn't even get one when he was in the honeymoon period with foreigners.

Its famous antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, and its miraculous effect of greatly reducing the death rate in thousands of households and on the battlefield, has not yet entered China.

And now, it finally appeared in Yu Jingzhi's hands, not from foreigners, but from Chinese.

Of course, Meng Wangda who came here to look for Yu Jingzhi did not know this. He knew that Yu Jingzhi was here only because this hospital was opened in the name of Chu Yunsheng, and Yu Jingzhi did not shy away from this hospital when he was outside. The name of the hospital is linked to him, even if there is a minor illness or injury, even a private doctor will not be invited, but come here specially.

Some things are completely kept in the dark, but it is safer to put them on the bright side.

Listening to Meng Wangda's voice, Yu Jingzhi said calmly: "The Jiuliuhui is not monolithic."

Meng Wangda frowned.

Yu Jingzhi closed the notebook in his hand, and said: "The reason why Jiuliuhui is with me is that the benefits are sufficient, and friendship is second. Now that some people have given greater benefits, it is normal that some people have changed. Of course, there aren’t many of these people, it’s just a pity that Jiuliuhui will be there.”

Meng Wangda looked hesitant: "Then Xue Hongniang and Jiu Yanzhang..."

Xue Hongniang, the manager of the Paramount Ballroom who was born as a prostitute, and Jiu Yanzhang, the owner of the antique shop who opened the house for three days fishing and two days posting nets, are the people in power on the surface of the Jiuliuhui.

Lu Yun on the side said: "Xue Hongniang has been missing from Paramount for a day and a night. Someone saw her last and said she went to the French Concession. There is no news from Jiuyanzhang."

Yu Jingzhi leaned back into the chair, smiled, and said: "Jiuyanzhang is a well-known robber king in Jinling and Haicheng. If something happened today, he probably won't be able to sit still, if he doesn't want Jiuliu to break up, he will take the initiative to come to us in the next two days."

Meng Wangda sighed: "We have been low-key and cautious enough in the matter of Chinese patent medicines, but the effect of these pills is amazing. The high fever that can't be subsided in a few days can be solved with three pills. There are even cures for tuberculosis, and the ability to stop bleeding is extraordinary... No matter how low-key it is, it cannot be hidden."

"I expected this to happen earlier, but I didn't expect to pull out the problems of Jiuliuhui."

Yu Jingzhi shook his head and said, "It's not just the Jiuliuhui's fault."

Meng Wangda was startled, looked at Yu Jingzhi, and seeing that Yu Jingzhi didn't mean to elaborate, he asked tentatively: "Sir, aren't we acting too quickly and attracting attention?"

Meng Wangda is Yu Jingzhi's confidant, and has long known of Yu Jingzhi's various plans, whether it is for Haicheng or other places.

But those plans are all carefully followed up step by step, for fear of detonating things that shouldn't be detonated when they are not yet mature, causing catastrophe and falling short of success.

But now the matter of Chinese patent medicine seems to have changed this.

Raising his hand and pressing his forehead, Yu Jingzhi turned his gaze to the tall parasol tree soaked in the scorching sun outside the window.

The cicadas were singing, and the heat was hard to get rid of.

Facing the glaring light, he squinted his eyes slightly and laughed: "What do you think is in the water in Haicheng now? Du Tianming and Mr. Peter from England, my old employer Adams and the Haicheng government, The newly split Jiuliuhui, the progressives in the Oriental News, and many other small waves, and those who have not yet entered the water."

"I have a hunch that we don't have that much time. The water in Haicheng is going to be completely muddy. Whether it's people or ghosts, they're all coming out for a walk."

Without Chu Yunsheng's arrival, Yu Jingzhi didn't know what he would choose to do in such a situation, but now, he has Chu Yunsheng.

Meng Wangda stopped talking.

Yu Jingzhi said: "It is not necessarily Du Tianming who is behind the matter of Chinese patent medicine, it is more likely that Pete. They will not get the prescription, and they will not let it go, but this itself needs to be 'forced' to push it to the table I need Chinese patent medicine in front of me.”

This matter is not so much a conspiracy behind other people's backs, it is better to say that it is Yu Jingzhi's plan.

When you judge that a person is wearing a disguise mask, and after doing everything possible to uncover the mask, you will subconsciously believe that what is hidden under it is the real face of that person.

Yu Jingzhi needs such a true face in front of antibiotics.

"Lu Yun will deal with this matter."

Yu Jingzhi finally said.

Meng Wangda seemed to understand Yu Jingzhi's implication, and his expression relaxed a bit, but also had a deeper solemnity.He responded, said some other things, then got up to leave, and went downstairs.

When Chu Yunsheng came from the isolated ward area wearing a mask, he bumped into Meng Wangda who was about to leave in the corridor on the first floor.

Meng Wangda's eyesight is also top-notch, and he recognized Chu Yunsheng from under the simple mask and white coat, and hurriedly greeted him warmly: "Brother Tonggu, you are here. Oh, it's summer, it's so hot, you Why are you still wearing this, not feeling bored?"

Boring is definitely boring.

This simple mask was made by Chu Yunsheng with two layers of linen. In this weather, it was difficult to breathe.But if you don't wear it, there are many kinds of epidemics and diseases, and the disinfection in all aspects is not in place, which is not hygienic enough.

After Chu Yunsheng learned that Yu Jingzhi had set up the hospital, he personally set some rules, tried his best to keep it clean and hygienic, disinfected and protected, and even trained the doctors and nurses arranged by Yu Jingzhi.

Among them, Dr. Chao Shimin, Yu Jingzhi's good friend, was very interested in these things, and he also specially learned about these protections and research principles. In addition, he also brought him some books about bacteria and viruses in this era, and discussed them with him from time to time.

"Boss Meng." Chu Yunsheng nodded.

Meng Wangda didn't know that those Chinese patent medicines came from Chu Yunsheng, so he didn't mention Jihetang, just nodded with a smile: "That's right, it's about business."

Chu Yunsheng didn't ask in detail, but exchanged simple greetings with Meng Wangda.

Although he said he didn't go out these few months, Yu Jingzhi often talked to him about outside affairs and brought some newspapers, so he couldn't be called isolated from the world, and he was also aware of what Yu Jingzhi was doing in his heart. There are more or less numbers.

After chatting for a few words, a nurse on the other side called Dr. Chu, so the two said goodbye without further talking.

Chu Yunsheng went up to the second floor, and Boss Meng also hurried out of the hospital gate. Neither of them noticed that a young man dressed as a student was staring at the two benches crowded with people outside the outpatient clinic on the first floor. Walking up the stairs to the second floor, he looked puzzled.

"Doctor Chu, Chu Tonggu...why do you sound familiar?"

"Could it be..."
