The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 130: A Commoner Woman's Revenge on the Powerful (38)

"It's up to you to decide how and what to run the embroidery workshop. I only have one request. Making money is important, but reputation is more important."

"Ren Yue understands, just like Mingyuan Hall. Don't worry, Boss Shui, I will definitely run the embroidery room well."

What Shui Zhizi didn’t know was that Ren Yue also once wanted to have an embroidery workshop of her own?

Instead of taking the things you worked hard to make and selling them in other people’s stores.

"I will provide all the money you need in the early stage. After the shop becomes profitable, we will split the profits 50-50. However, I will need to rely on the good reputation of the shop in the future."

Ren Yue was stunned. She probably guessed that Shui Zhizi was planning something big.

But Ren Yue did not ask more questions. The more people believe that the person who can open a famous hall will not be planning bad things.

"What's the name of the embroidery workshop?"

"It's up to you to decide. This is your shop."

As soon as Shui Zhizi finished speaking, Ren Yue knelt straight down. "Boss Shui, I will remember your kindness in my heart, and I will never let you down."

Shui Zhizi looked at Ren Yue's eyes full of fighting spirit, and her heart was shocked. "I believe you."

After arranging Ren Yue's affairs, Shui Zhizi went straight south to buy medicinal herbs.

Because of her previous experience in the medicinal materials business, Shui Zhizi was able to buy the medicine smoothly. However, on the way back, Shui Zhizi discovered a problem.

"Da Zhuang, let's take a good rest in Liujia Town today. There won't be such a big town on the road in the next few days, so it will be much harder for everyone."

"Okay, Boss, I'll go talk to Yuan Shi and the others." Shui Zhizi brought her own guards with her when she went out to buy herbs this time.

They have been learning martial arts for a year, and their master said that they have no problem dealing with ordinary gangsters.

"Well, go put your things away, I'll go to the inn and book a room."

The further Shui Zhizi walked towards the inn, the more she felt something was wrong. It seemed that she had been hearing coughing since they entered the town.

Even if it is a season when diseases are prevalent, the whole town should not be filled with coughing sounds from beginning to end.

Shui Zhizi stopped and looked at the few people who were coughing in the inn from a distance, and alarm bells suddenly went off in her heart.

In addition to coughing, they all had red eyes and difficulty breathing. In order to make better medicinal food, Shui Zhizi has been learning medical knowledge from Wu Kai.

Shui Zhizi thought she could diagnose this simple illness, but at this moment her legs and feet felt weak and she just hoped that her judgment was wrong.

Shui Zhizi did not say anything and still booked a room as planned, but she specifically asked for a quieter room away from the crowd.

After booking a room, Shui Zhizi went out to look for Dazhuang and the others, but she ran into Dazhuang as soon as she went out.

"Boss, I don't think something is right. Aren't there too many people coughing along the way?"

When Mingyuan Hall was first opened, Dazhuang also helped out for a while during busy times, and he is more sensitive than others in this regard.

"Keep your voice down. Perhaps we made a wrong judgment. Don't cause panic. Let our people take precautions according to what Master taught us. Go to your room and rest. Once you are in your room, try to eat and drink in your room and don't come out unless necessary."

"Come with me to the clinic in this town."

Da Zhuang did not dare to delay and quickly found the person who pressed the herbs to tell Shui Zhizi what she wanted. He followed Shui Zhizi to see what was going on.

After seeing two medical clinics close down in succession, Shui Zhizi almost fell to the ground.

She had only heard her master talk about things like epidemics, and had no idea how terrible they were, as she had never seen them with her own eyes.

All the clinics that were open were crowded, and the two that were closed were even larger.

Maybe it was because of its large scale and the superb medical skills of the doctors inside, they might have seen something, so they closed the clinic early to protect themselves.

After Shui Zhizi and Da Zhuang quietly asked about the situation at the clinic with the longest queue, the only bit of hope they had was gone.

A doctor realized early on that this might be an epidemic and reported it to the authorities immediately.

The county magistrate in charge of Liujia Town and the surrounding towns was a good official. He took measures immediately and reported the situation in Liujia Town to his superiors.

As a result, there was a problem with this report. The superior officials thought that the county magistrate was seeing things uncommonly and exaggerating, saying that there had been no epidemic in the Yan Dynasty in the past few decades.

He also felt that the measures taken by the county magistrate would cause panic among the people, so he simply ordered the county magistrate to restore the operation of Liujia Town to normal, whatever should be done.

As a result, after only five or six days, more and more people in Liujia Town fell ill, leading to the current situation.

After Shui Zhizi asked about the situation, the first thing she said to Da Zhuang was "Da Zhuang, do you think we should leave or stay?"

They just entered Liujia Town today and didn't interact with anyone along the way. If they left now, the chance of being infected would be very small.

But if they can leave, what about the people in Liujia Town?

But if she didn't leave and got infected with the disease, what would happen? In this era, getting infected with the disease meant a narrow escape from death. If she died, what would happen to her mission?

"Boss, you don't have to worry about us. We are willing to stay with you and help the people in Liujia Town to treat their illnesses."

Shui Zhizi lowered her head and laughed at herself, as if everyone thought she was a kind-hearted person.

Everyone thought that she opened Mingyuan Hall just to cure diseases and save lives.

Da Zhuang was the person who had been with her the longest. He had been clearly watching her actions all along. She used Ren Yue's matter to plot against Ying Wan'er, and Da Zhuang knew everything.

But he never seemed to think that he would run away if he encountered such a thing.

If the Li family hadn't gotten into trouble, she might never have helped others in her life and would only care about herself and her family.

Shui Zhizi looked at the medical clinic called Jishidiang in front of her and gritted her teeth. Should she escape?

These things have nothing to do with her. Even if she knows some medical skills, practicing medicine and saving lives is not her job.

She is just a businesswoman, and she only becomes a businesswoman to avenge her family.

Even if she already has a lot of medicinal herbs, so what? That's what she uses to make money. The medicinal herbs business is the last trump card she has left for herself.

She planned to keep enough of these medicinal herbs for Mingyuan Hall and Corning Building, and then sell the rest along the way when she returned to Beijing.

That's a lot of money.

So why should she stay? The governor of Guanliu family didn't take these people's lives seriously, so why should she meddle in other people's business?

She has her own mission. She can't even protect her own family, so how can she protect others?

"Da Zhuang, let's... stay." Shui Zhizi said with her eyes closed.

Just now the doctor from Jishidiang said that some clinics have closed down due to the dire situation, and some even left Liujia Town with their entire families.

Shui Zhizi asked him, why don’t you leave?
