Chapter 262 The Speaker Is Unintentional, but the Listener Is Intentional! [Subscribe]
day
Day by day passes!
Wei Hong, as the executioner of the Ministry of Punishment, was on the front line of collecting corpses every day and witnessed this appalling catastrophe with his own eyes.
Under the plague, human life is like a piece of grass!
Once a person who was alive and kicking the day before gets sick, he will be full of fever and foam at the mouth that night. Without medicinal treatment, most people will not survive for two days.
The piles of corpses are being sent to the cremation ground one after another!
Tens of thousands of people die every day, leaving so many families separated and devastated. It’s really pitiful and sad!
Even though Wei Hong has long been used to having a heart as strong as life and death, he can't help but feel heavier and heavier!
…
early September
The three princess mansions!
Wei Hong once again participated in a party in the Zang Refining Realm.
He didn't intend to buy any treasures at this gathering, he just wanted to get some news about the plague in case he needed it.
As a result, he was shocked as soon as he arrived at the Third Princess Mansion!
Without him, there are just too many people!
In the past, there were mostly twenty or thirty people in such small gatherings. After all, there were not many Sanren Zang Refining Realm in the divine capital, so not everyone was free to come.
But today, the number of participants was as high as seventy or eighty!
So many people crowded the backyard garden of the Three Princesses' Mansion, and half of them were strangers. Naturally, Wei Hong was a little confused.
Fortunately, he saw familiar faces such as Xiao Hongsheng and Granny Yao as soon as he glanced at them!
"Brother Xiao, why are there so many people today?" Wei Hong said hello to acquaintances and sat down near Xiao Hongsheng.
"It's not because of the recent plague." Xiao Hongsheng lowered his voice and said: "Now the gods are only allowed in and out. Everyone can't go out and explore, so naturally they are willing to come and exchange information."
"Isn't that right?" Wei Hong frowned: "There are a lot of unfamiliar faces here!"
"Yes!" Xiao Hongsheng glanced around and couldn't help but muttered: "There are indeed a lot of new faces recently. How can there be so many masters coming to the divine capital at this time?"
The speaker has no intention but the listener has intention!
Wei Hong's face couldn't help but darken slightly.
What on earth happened that warranted a master from the Zang Refining Realm from various states to sneak into the Divine Capital at this time and appear at the party at the three princess mansions?
These are the ones who showed up, how many of them didn’t show up?
The current city of God is simply like a large whirlpool, and we don’t know what kind of terrifying storm it will create.
"Everyone!" A middle-aged steward came out at this time and said with a smile on his face: "The affairs in the mansion are very busy today. It is inconvenient for the three princesses to come out to entertain you personally. I specifically asked you to greet all distinguished guests. I hope you don't mind."
When everyone heard this, they didn’t understand what it meant!
It was clear that the three princesses did not want to get involved in tonight's gathering, and were just lending a venue to allow everyone to exchange information freely.
There are a few highly respected people who are not polite. After all, the three princesses do not attend every gathering. They have their own communication process!
"Everyone!" An old man dressed as a fisherman said with a smile, "Since the three princesses are not free tonight, let's just go through the process according to the past, but someone wants to recruit people to do tasks or assist. of?"
"Now the gods are only allowed in but not out? Where can I go to do the mission?"
"No, skip this one, it's a waste of time!"
Everyone was talking in a hurry!
The old fisherman smiled and nodded when he heard this, and continued to ask: "In that case, does anyone want to trade and purchase?"
"Yes!" A beautiful woman stood up immediately, smiled bitterly at the crowd and said: "My family has many servants and servants, and there are also many properties in the chamber of commerce under it. This plague is coming so violently that we were caught off guard. Who has the money in hand?" For medicine? Can I trade one or two?”
"Me too, there are still hundreds of people in my family who need to prepare medicine!"
"Count me in, if anyone has medicine, just ask for it!"
At this time, another seventeen or eighteen people stood up and started talking.
Although these people are strong in the Zang Refining Realm, there are always family members behind them. There are dozens or hundreds of people who need to use medicinal materials to eliminate and strengthen the disease. Naturally, it is difficult to purchase such a large amount. .
"Damn it!" Xiao Hongsheng complained unhappily: "The imperial court confiscated medicinal materials from major chambers of commerce, and even the doctors were under the jurisdiction of the Tai Hospital. Now not only is it inconvenient to seek medical treatment, but even the medicinal materials have been sold on the black market for dozens of times the price. The sky-high price, where else can I buy it?”
This statement resonated with many people!
Even those who are strong in the Zang Refining Realm are very passive in this storm.
They may not be afraid of the plague, but what about their families?
Not everyone prepares everything in advance like Wei Hong.
Once a family member is infected with the plague, no matter how powerful they are, they can only ask their grandfather and grandmother for medicine. In the end, they pay a huge price and even owe a lot of favors before they can solve the problem.
If someone comes to help at this time, I am afraid that many people will be in debt, right?
As expected, after a while, a man dressed as a middle-aged businessman stood up and said with a smile: "Everyone? I still have some medicinal materials left. If you don't mind, you can come to me for tea after the banquet!"
"It turns out to be Brother Liu, haha, I'm going to be annoying you later!"
"Thank you Brother Liu Gaoyi, we will talk in detail later!"
There was another burst of praise from everyone.
Wei Hong also recognized who this middle-aged businessman was.
His nominal identity is a wealthy businessman in Tongzhou, but in fact he should be a white glove of a big family in Shendu, helping people do some shady things on weekdays.
Such high-profile behavior is just to win people over.
"What a coincidence, I also have some medicinal materials in my hand. If you need them, you can also find me to talk in detail. You can find me at any time in Wangjiang Tower in the south of the city!"
"I also have some medicinal materials in my hand, and I know a little about medical skills. If you need them, you can find me!"
At this time, people kept standing up to express their opinions!
Obviously, there are many people who have this idea.
After all, you only need to pay some worthless medicinal materials, whether it is to recruit a strong person in the refining organ realm or to get a favor from a strong person in the refining organ realm, it is a very cost-effective reward!
Wei Hong was too lazy to care about this!
Although he had a lot of medicinal materials in his hand, he didn't want to trade with outsiders, let alone get any favors from any strong people.
After a round of toasts at the banquet!
Finally, someone mentioned the exchange of information.
Most of the people came here for this purpose, so they all pricked up their ears.
"Everyone!" A charming woman said with a fake smile: "The situation in the capital of God is so chaotic recently. I wonder what the court will do next? If anyone has unique information to reveal, I will be very grateful!"
"Yes, the capital of God is in chaos now, and we are really unsure!"
"Brother Li has connections in the court, don't you know the inside story?"
While everyone was talking!
Many people set their sights on a middle-aged scholar in blue.
Obviously, this person's identity and background are not simple, so everyone is sure that he knows something.
