Since the beginning of summer, there has been less fog and fumigation in Haicheng. Early in the morning, when the sun hits the east and climbs up, it is bright everywhere, and even the narrow corners in the deepest alleys are sprinkled with oranges. Red glitter.

The wooden-wheeled cart that poured the scent of the night away quietly from the corner, the breakfast shop on the street set up a stall, and the pedestrians gradually increased.

Before the door of Jihetang's shop on the corner of the street was opened, there were already few people waiting at the door.

‌ Among these people, most of them are rickety, bony, sallow complexions, all of them like ghosts smoking a big cigarette. But in fact, many smokers are not the same. At least before the family was completely ruined, they still had clothes on their bodies, like some people, their rough linen cloth was washed white with starch. All sad faces.

Among them, there are also some alternatives. The clothes are neat and proper, and there is not much anxiety and gloom.

Most of the shopkeepers Liu knew that they were servants or long-term workers of some nearby wealthy families who had been sent to buy medicines for the master's family.

"Sun and Moon"

"Those newspapers outside talk about equality every day, and they want me to say that people are really equal to each other."

In front of the newly opened medicine cabinet, shopkeeper Liu counted the things on the cabinet for the last time, and muttered: "If there is really such an equality, then there will be only disease."

The skinny guy was cleaning by the side, listening silently.

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

"It's half an hour late," Shopkeeper Liu said, closing the book. "Some pills and medicines are sold too fast, and the goods are going to be in time. Today's batch is late."

The doctor sitting in the hall said: "Some things are quite ordinary. I bought them and went to them. I haven't researched the way out so far. It must be a secret recipe. I know who it is, and they even sell things. It's a treasure that can be heirloom! Your Jihetang is really lucky, you can stop it, if you sell some Chinese patent medicines to Peiyuantang, you But the family is alone."

"Liu, as I said, since you, Jihetang, don't care so much about share and profits, and are willing to sell some medicines to poor people at low prices, then you have the idea of ​​saving the world and saving people. That's the case. What's the point of making the prescription public, why do you have to keep it in your own hands?"

"Hypocrite, hypocrite!"

Shopkeeper Liu laughed, sneering in his heart, but his mouth was stubborn.

Nowadays, the occasional low-price selling behavior is too outrageous, and it has already led to countless temptations and open guns and secret arrows. If the prescription is really disclosed, you know who is benefiting, anyway, it will be It is the people outside who are full of food and are thin to the bone.

He is indeed a good person, and he has no good intentions, but if he can save one more person within the scope of his ability, he can save the person who should be saved, then that is a good thing, and it is something he is willing to do.

Moreover, no one knew that the Jihetang that he opened all over the Haicheng county and the Peiyuantang that sporadically opened in the concession were the same family.

And some of the pills and medicines that caused a lot of noise as soon as they were sold were also from the same source.

If it weren't for the tit-for-tat confrontation between him and Peiyuantang, other Yaotang pharmaceutical factories would still be sitting on the mountain to watch the tigers fight to this day, waiting to be a fisherman, without much fanfare to intervene. Batch of proprietary Chinese medicines.

But this apparent calm has been maintained for too long, and it should have been much worse from the end of the year to the end of summer.

Everything was tidy up, the door of the pharmacy opened, and the people who had been simmering for a long time outside the door had already waited for it. When they saw the door opened, their eyes lit up, they rushed in a few steps, and also went to the cloth. The number one pulse in the curtain sees a doctor, just go to the front of the new cabinet, open the mouth and grab the medicine.

"Treasurer, three bottles of antipyretic pills!"

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

"The shopkeeper, do you have the anti-inflammatory powder today? And the one for treating tuberculosis and relieving cough..."

The front of the new cabinet was crowded with people, and the two guys skillfully arranged people to line up. Even so, the Jihe Hall was still crowded and noisy, only the shopkeeper Liu was still so steady, and despite the noise around him, he still raised his voice and asked the people who were taking the medicine one by one.

"Some medicines can only be taken after a doctor's consultation. Medicines can be eaten indiscriminately... You can buy antipyretic pills. There are few today. How many bottles do you need?"

"It takes at least three meals to see the effect, it's urgent. If it's so immediate, it's called medicine, it's an elixir!"

"You are still ill, and you can get medicine and go to the doctor..."

After asking them one by one, the piles of pills and medicine scattered on the new cabinet gradually became empty, but the number of people in the Jihe Hall decreased, and they even queued outside the door.

Shopkeeper Liu had been busy all morning, and his throat was smoking, so he took advantage of the free time to let a man he valued take over his work, and went to work in front of the counter. Tea soothes the throat.

After pouring three bowls of tea in a row, Shopkeeper Liu was about to squint for a nap, but suddenly there was some movement outside.

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

With two shouts, the people at the door of the store were as frightened as the chicks who saw the falcon, and shrank their heads and avoided them.

Immediately afterwards, three or five policemen walked into the building, and the leader spoke authentic Haicheng dialect. They looked around Zhou Zhou with skin and flesh, and said, "Manager Liu, your mind is booming."

Shopkeeper Liu recognized the section chief of the security department, and thought well, he got up in a hurry, took out a ticket from his sleeve and stuffed it in, and said, "Senior Wang, why do you need to make a trip?"

"If something happened to your child, of course you have to go. I only want to go, and you have to come with me." Section Chief Wang collected the tickets and carried them up Chin, immediately two police officers passed ‌‌ Shopkeeper Liu and held it down, and they had to take it out.

The shopkeeper Liu was startled and hurriedly said: "Senior Wang, Section Chief Wang! Jihetang has not had any problems for a few days, you..."

"Nothing happened? You mean it, I made a mistake?" Section Chief Wang narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

Shopkeeper Liu was drenched in cold sweat: "Dare to..."

Section Chief Wang sneered: "I handle the case impartially, and I have never wronged people. Naturally, there is a reason for arresting you. This morning, the Haicheng County Police Department took over the murder case. In the Cai Mansion on Baoping Street, the third aunt of Cai's grandfather is too gone, and after a lot of investigation, we found out that it was your family's counterfeit medicine."

Although Shopkeeper Liu had already anticipated such a situation, but now when he heard the words, he still gritted his teeth with hatred. His rhetoric was full of loopholes, which was no different from being framed.

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

Section Chief Wang raised his voice and cut off Shopkeeper Liu's voice: "Well, everyone has taken it, and it can still be fake medicine!"

He glanced around and saw that the people inside and outside the store were talking about it, and then he waved his hand with satisfaction: "The people and some fake medicines are taken away, and the store will be closed first."

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

Almost at the same time, the Peiyuan Hall in the concession was also sealed up by the family due to the sudden death of a father who was lingering on the bed, and he was put in the patrol room.

When Meng Xianban got the news, he was in the middle of reckoning in his own firm. Hearing the sound, he threw the account book, got in the car and drove out. By the time Yu Jing was found at the private hospital on the edge of the French Concession, Meng Wangda was already sweating profusely, and under the scorching heat of the noon sun, she was even out of breath.

"The free clinics in the countryside, as well as those outside Haicheng, haven't had any news, so it shouldn't matter. But Jihetang and Peiyuantang were both planted... First, it's weird to do it manually. "

Meng Wangda took the tea delivered by Lu Yun, thanked him, and whispered to Yu Jing: "The patrol room in the concession has also moved. Half of it is the power of Du Tianming's king bastard, and it is very insidious. .But the county police station, you gave it to the Jiuliu Association the year before last, but it's time for something to happen."

"Could it be that?"

Jiuliuhui, as the name implies, is mostly a group of forces formed by the lower Jiuliu in Haicheng. In the early years, he had some friendship with Yu Jing, and later Yu Jing rose to control Haicheng and the Jiuliuhui. Then he took refuge in Yu Jing, which was equivalent to a subordinate force.

Yu Jing sat on a chair in the lounge and flipped through the two-day clinical records.

Two days ago, Chu Yunsheng walked out of the closed laboratory and told him that daydreaming thing. Afterwards, in order to verify whether the daydreams were true or false, he brought Chu Yunsheng and a small amount of medicine secrets to the private hospital where his house had just opened for two months.

The Chinese he read in college, he knew too much about medicine, but he could still understand some clinical records. At least, he could very intuitively see in a few carefully selected patients the success of the antidote.

The first antibiotic for foreigners was called penicillin, also known as penicillin. It was announced two years ago. It is a military-controlled product. Even in Europe, anyone can get it. When rare. As for the country, only heard its name, and when saw it, used the power of Yu Jing, and when was in the honeymoon period with the foreigners in front of me, got one.

Its famous antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect, and its miraculous effect of greatly reducing the mortality rate in thousands of households and on the battlefield, has not been able to flow into China.

And now, it has finally appeared in the hands of Yu Jing. It is from a foreigner, but a Chinese.

Of course, Meng Wangda, who was looking for Yu Jing, didn't know more about it. He knew that Yu Jing was here, just because the hospital was opened in the name of Chu Yunsheng, and Yu Jing is outside and avoids the name of his hospital being linked to him. Even if there is any minor illness or injury, even a private doctor will be invited, but only in the hospital.

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

Listening to Meng Wangda's voice, Yu Jing said with a flat expression: "The Nine-Liuhui Association is not monolithic."

Meng Wangda frowned.

Yu Jing closed the book in his hand and said, "The Jiuliuhui, so I have enough interests, and the friendship is second. Now that there are people who have given great benefits, some people have changed, and that's also true. No matter how normal it is. Of course, there are many people who will meet, but it's a pity that the Jiu Liuhui will be."

Meng Wangda hesitated: "Then Xue Hongniang and Jiuyanzhang..."

Xue Hongniang, who was a prostitute from the Paramount Ballroom, and Jiuyanzhang, who opened an antique shop for three days of fishing and two days of drying the net, were regarded as the leaders of the Jiuliuhui.

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

Yu Jing leaned back into the chair, sighed, and said, "Jiuyanzhang is a famous thief king in Jinling and Haicheng. He drills in the crowds and in the graves, and there is often no news. It's nothing. If something happened today, he'd probably stay there too. If he thinks that Jiu Liu will disperse, he'll take the initiative to find me in two days."

Meng Wangda sighed: "I've been low-key and cautious enough about proprietary Chinese medicine, but the effect of some pills and medicinal powders is really amazing. Usually, the fever will subside after a few days. It can be solved by taking pills, even tuberculosis can be cured, and the hemostasis is mediocre... No matter how low-key it is, it is hidden."

"I expected it to happen once, but I didn't expect it to be a problem with the Jiu Liuhui."

Yu Jing shook his head and said, "It's more than a problem with the Jiu Liu Society."

Meng Wangda was startled, looked at Yu Jing, saw that Yu Jing had no intention to elaborate, so he tentatively said: "First, we are acting now, because it is too fast or too fast. A little bit more noticeable?"

Meng Wangda was Yu Jing's confidant and knew about Yu Jing's various plans, whether it was for Haicheng or other places.

However, none of those plans were carefully followed step by step, for fear of detonating what should be detonated when they were still mature, causing great difficulties and falling short.

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

Raising his hand and pressing his forehead, Yu Jing's gaze turned to the large phoenix tree soaked in the scorching sun outside the window.

The cicadas chirped, and the heat was hard to go away.

Facing the dazzling light, he squinted his eyes slightly, and said, "What do you think is in the water in Haicheng now? Du Tianming and the Englishman Peter Xian, my owners Adams and The Haicheng government, the newly split Jiuliuhui, the progressives in the Oriental News, and many other small waves, and those that have not yet entered the water."

"I have a hunch that I don't have that much time left. The beach water in Haicheng is going to be completely muddy, and people or ghosts will all go out."

If there was no Chu Yunsheng's arrival, Yu Jing knew what he would do in such a situation, but now, he has Chu Yunsheng.

Meng Wangda spoke again.

Yu Jing said: "Behind the matter of Chinese patent medicine, Du Tianming must be Du Tianming, and the big one may be that Pete. If he gets the prescription, he will give it up, but he needs it." Forced to push things on the table, I need proprietary Chinese medicine to bear in front."

It's not so much the case that other people are behind the scenes, if it's Yu Jing's plan.

When you judge that a person is wearing a disguise mask, and after doing everything possible to lift the mask, you will subconsciously believe that what is hidden underneath is the true face of that person.

Yu Jing needs to have a real face in front of the anti-element.

"This is where Lu Yun will go."

Yu Jing finally said.

Meng Wangda seemed to understand Yu Jing's overtones, and his expression relaxed a little, but also had a deep solemnity. He answered and said something else, then got up to leave and went downstairs.

When Chu Yunsheng wore a mask and passed through the isolated ward area, 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. Like, why are you still wearing one and the other, so bored?"

Boring is definitely boring.

The simple mask was made of two layers of linen by Chu Yunsheng, and in such weather, it was difficult to breathe. But if you wear it, now there are many kinds of diseases, and disinfection in all aspects is not in place.

After Chu Yunsheng learned that Yu Jing's hospital had opened, he set some rules in person, tried to keep it clean, disinfected and protected, and even arranged a doctor for Yu Jing. ‌Nurses ‌ are trained.

Among them, Dr. Chao Shimin, a friend of Yu Jing's, was very interested in these things, and he also specially learned some protection and research on the origin, and also brought him some ancient times about bacteria and viruses. have a relationship with him, and will discuss it with him from time to time.

"Meng  board." Chu Yunsheng nodded.

Meng Wangda didn't even know that those Chinese patent medicines came from Chu Yunsheng's hands, so he didn't mention the matter of Jihetang, but nodded his head: "Yes, it's something that's on your mind."

Chu Yunsheng didn't ask any further questions, but simply exchanged greetings with Meng Wangda.

Although he has been out of the house for a few months, Yu Jing often talks to him about outside affairs and brings some newspapers with him, so he said that he was isolated from the world, and he felt sorry for Yu Jing in his heart. ‌There is a certain amount of work being done.

After chatting for a few seconds, there was a nurse calling for Doctor Chu on the other side, so the two of them said goodbye and said more.

Chu Yunsheng went up to the second floor, and Meng Ban also hurried out of the hospital gate. Neither of them noticed that outside the outpatient clinic on the first floor, on the two benches crowded with people, there was a man who learned to dress up. The young man was staring at the stairs leading to the second floor, looking puzzled.

"Doctor Chu, Tong Gu of Chu... Why does it sound familiar?"

"Could it be..."
