Chapter 408

Ye Xuan went up to the shore and asked the villager, "Old man, don't you know that your wound was caused by poisonous snake poison?"

The villagers turned their heads to look at Ye Xuan, saw that he was a young man with extraordinary martial arts, and thought that such a young man would not care about the life and death of ordinary people, so they just shook their heads helplessly.

Xiang Ling and Yun Xiaoxi also got off Xueqiu's back.

Yun Xiaoxi came over to take a look, tore off a bead from her clothes and handed it over, saying, "Here, take it for medical treatment."

When the villagers saw this pearl, they knew it was a valuable treasure, so they dared not reach out to take it, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Enough is enough... Thank you, Mr. and Miss, such a precious treasure, a villain dare not take it."

Yun Xiaoxi looked around, but couldn't find anything cheaper than this pearl.

Xiang Ling quickly opened the purse, handed over a piece of silver, and said, "Is this enough?"

The villagers quickly took over the broken silver, kowtowed in gratitude and said, "Thank you son and miss, you are all good people, and you will be rich and powerful in the future, with hundreds of sons and grandchildren."

Ye Xuan asked again: "Do you know that your skin ulcers are caused by poisoning?"

"I know, Longxiang City posted a notice half a month ago, saying that the water in the Snow River is poisonous, and also posted the method of detoxification." The villager replied.

"Since you know, why don't you buy medicine to detoxify?" Ye Xuan asked again.

The villagers shook their heads and said, "I can't afford it!"

"Can't afford it? Root vine and heather are the most common herbal medicines, and the price is no more than a few copper coins. No matter how poor you are, there are still a few copper coins, right?" Ye Xuan asked with a frown.

The villager shook his head and said, "My lord, you don't know something. Half a month ago, the root vine and heather grass could be bought for only two or three copper coins. But now, even ten taels of silver can't buy a single leaf."

Ye Xuan has two lifetimes of experience, so he can understand what's going on as soon as he hears it.

There is only one reason why the price of a herbal medicine can rise from two copper plates to ten taels of silver, and there must be profiteers.

"I understand."

Ye Xuan took out a few more pieces of silver from Xiang Ling's purse, handed it over and said, "You take this money, if there are people in the family who have no money for medical treatment, buy more herbs. But don't buy too much, As long as it is enough, I believe that the prices of these two herbs will come down soon."

After leaving the silver, Ye Xuan quickly returned to Longxiang City.

Back in Longxiang City, Ye Xuan went to the major pharmacies in the city first, and found that the prices of the vines and heather grass in the pharmacies were really ridiculously high.

The ground root vine, which could have been bought for two copper coins, is now sold for two to thirty taels of silver.

One tael of silver is equivalent to one thousand copper coins.

This price has increased ten thousand times, which is really a wonder in the world.

In front of Qiancao Pharmacy.

A poor man with red and swollen skin came to the pharmacy, cried and begged: "Please give me some ground vines. My baby is dying. I searched for three days in the mountains and found a heather plant. , it’s almost a vine, please sell me some.”

The shopkeeper of Qiancao Pharmacy crossed his left and right index fingers and said, "It rained yesterday, and a few packages of ground vines were moldy. How about this. I'll sell it to you for ten taels of silver."

"Ten taels of silver, this root and vine used to be a medicinal material that could be bought for two copper coins." The poor people cried.

"You also said that it was in the past, but now the price of ground vines is 25 taels. If I sell it to you for ten taels of silver, I will lose a lot." The shopkeeper of Qiancao Pharmacy said with a painful face.

"But I don't have that much silver." The commoner still wanted to plead.

"I don't have any money, why don't you come to amuse me? Hurry up!" The shopkeeper of Qiancao Pharmacy hurried away.

Yun Xiaoxi frowned, walked up and threw the pearls that were broken off earlier, and said angrily: "I bought all your herbs, give them all to him!"

The shopkeeper of Qiancao Pharmacy caught Pearl and took a look at it. With just one glance, he knew that it was an incredible treasure. He quickly smiled and said, "Okay, okay...Come here, take out a bag of ground root vines, hurry up!"

Soon a guy took out a bag of ground vines and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took the ground root vine, handed it to Yun Xiaoxi, and said with a smile, "Little nobleman, this is the herbal medicine you want."

Yun Xiaoxi snatched it away, glared at the shopkeeper, and handed it to the begging commoners: "Here you are."

The poor man got the herbal medicine and quickly kowtowed to thank him.

Seeing that she saved someone, Yun Xiaoxi suddenly became happy, ran back to Ye Xuan, raised her head and smiled, "I saved someone too."

Seeing the smile on this little girl's face, Ye Xuan was helpless, and only she was so innocent to think that saving one person was enough.

The price of ground root vine and heather grass has risen to such a terrifying level, which means that hundreds of thousands of people around Longxiang City may not be able to afford it. One can imagine how serious the situation is.

Ye Xuan immediately came to the yamen of Longxiang town government office and asked the city guard why they didn't control the prices of ground vines and heather grass in the city.

The city guard of Longxiang cast a glance at Ye Xuan, waved his hand indifferently and said, "Who are you? Is it your turn to take care of the medicinal materials business in the city?"

Ye Xuan immediately became furious, glared at the city guard, turned around and left without entangled with him.

Leave the town government office.

Ye Xuan asked Xiang Ling to go back first, then went straight to the Prince's Courtyard, and kicked open the gate of the Prince's Courtyard.

Bang!
"Bold, who dares to break into the prince's other courtyard!" Immediately, the guards of the prince's mansion rushed out and drew their swords at each other.

"I want to see Jun Tianyi!" Ye Xuan said in a deep voice.

The commander of the guards of the Prince's Mansion immediately yelled: "You can call His Highness the name of His Royal Highness? Plead guilty quickly, or don't blame us for being rude!"

"I'll say it again, I want to see Jun Tianyi!" Ye Xuan repeated angrily.

The commander of the guards of the Prince's Mansion was immediately furious and was about to strike.

A guard who had seen Ye Xuan in the Hongwu Hall hurried to the Commander and said in a low voice: "Commander, I seem to have seen this man in the Hongwu Hall. His Royal Highness seems to respect him very much."

The guard commander frowned, and asked, "Who are you? Report your name."

"Ye Xuan!"

Although the commander of the guards had never met Ye Xuan, the news about the Snow River National War had already spread throughout Longxiang City.

Among the guards of the Prince's Mansion, the news was even more miraculously spread.

Therefore, the commander of the guards had heard of Ye Xuan's name, not only had he heard of it, it was like thunder.

"You are Ye Xuan? The one who made great contributions in the Snow River National War?"

"It's me!" Ye Xuan affirmed in a deep voice.

The commander of the guards knew that something serious must have happened, so he quickly said: "Please wait a moment, I will go in and report right away."

"No need, tell me where Jun Tianyi is. I'll go find him directly!" Ye Xuan walked straight into the Prince's courtyard, ignoring the guards' obstruction, and went straight in.

The guards of the Prince's Mansion didn't dare to really stop them, so they could only follow closely, persuading: "City Master Ye...City Master Ye...please wait for the notification...please..."
