Chapter 288 Looking for Polygonum multiflorum

"Tie Zhu, do you know where there is a medicinal herb shop around here?"

Fang Qiang was worried about the century-old Polygonum multiflorum, so he asked this question.

"Returning to the Commander, there is a large pharmacy in Dingzhou City not far ahead. The medicinal materials there are famous far and wide. This is the first one within a hundred miles. It should be able to meet the requirements of the Commander..."

"it is good!"

Fang Qiang nodded and said, "Let's rest for half an hour, and then we'll go to Dingzhou City to try our luck!"

"Yes, handsome!"

Half an hour later, Fang Qiang and others set off towards Dingzhou City in unison.

Dingzhou City extends in all directions, and the transportation is very convenient, so it has always been a place where merchants gather.In the early days, the commerce here was very developed, and merchants within a hundred miles gathered here. The largest drug store in Dingzhou City was a product of that time!

But now it is depressed. The reason is very simple. The people have been displaced by successive years of wars, and the business of the merchants is also uneasy.But after all, the pharmacy cannot be moved away. Maybe there is a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum there?

So this Dingzhou city must be visited.

After resting for half an hour, everyone was in good spirits, and everyone headed to Dingzhou immediately. Fang Qiang and others rode fast horses, and arrived at Dingzhou County after only half an hour.

"Who, stop!"

As soon as Fang Qiang and the others arrived at the gate, they were stopped by Yuan soldiers guarding the city.Communication is very underdeveloped in this era, so the Yuan soldiers here don't know that Fang Qiang is the leader of the rebel army in Chuzhou City.Otherwise, what stopped him would not be the soldiers' interrogation, but the attack and killing of the brigade!

Fang Qiang glanced at the soldiers guarding the city indifferently, feeling quite helpless in his heart. To be fair, these miscellaneous fish in front of him are really nothing and can be dealt with with a wave of his hand, but Fang Qiang did not want to cause trouble. Large groups of people can no longer enter the city to look for Polygonum multiflorum!

"Iron pillar!"

Fang Qiang gave Tiezhu a wink. After understanding this, the guy immediately jumped off his horse and walked towards a group of soldiers in front with a smile, "Dear military lords, we are merchants of medicinal materials in Hezhou, and that person is our young master. Now I have to go into the city to purchase a batch of medicinal materials, could you please make it easier for me, military masters?"

While speaking, Tie Zhu handed over some scattered coins. The captain saw the silver eyes shining, and quickly took it and shook it in his hand, at least five!

In fact, the reason why these Yuan soldiers stopped Fang Qiang and others was to collect the city gate tax, but they didn't expect that Fang Qiang and others would pay five taels of silver when they made a move, which was much more than the city gate tax!So the captain immediately smiled.

"Hurry up, let it go!"

The captain of Yuan Bing gave a loud shout, and his subordinates hurriedly let him go. The arrogant and respectful look seemed to be seeing his own father!
Compared with Chuzhou, the county seat of Dingzhou is much larger. Although there have been wars for years, all kinds of peddlers and peddlers can still be seen everywhere.

Fang Qiang came out this time with a total of twelve soldiers, each of whom rode a horse. The goal of gathering so many people is too big, and it will inevitably attract the attention of interested people, so Fang Qiang ordered: "Tie Zhu stay, the rest Let’s disperse, let’s gather at the gate of Beicheng in half an hour! Be careful, I didn’t ask you to play, just let me find out the news, no matter what it is!”

Fang Qiang was the commander-in-chief. Since he gave an order, it was a military order and everyone must obey it, so everyone dispersed.

After everyone left, Fang Qiang and Tie Zhu went straight to the medicinal material trading house. This Dingzhou is indeed a commercial city, and even the place where the medicine is sold is much more lively.

Fang Qiang walked up and down the street and finally found the destination of his trip - Hengyu Pharmacy!
The owner of Hengyu Pharmacy is an old man in his 60s with gray hair, but his face is rosy, and he looks well maintained.

"What does this gentleman want? Our medicinal materials are not only complete in variety but also of high quality, and we will never let you be deceived!"

Fang Qiang just wanted to answer, but the old man frowned slightly, and saw him yelling at a middle-aged man in ragged clothes at the door: "Go, go, get out quickly, I'm here to buy medicinal materials on credit again, and I don't have money to see them." What disease? Get out of here!"

The man in ragged clothes did not get out, but knelt down on the ground with a plop, "Shopkeeper Sun, I beg you, please give me another medicine on credit. As long as my wife's body recovers, I know how to do it." I’ll repay you like a horse!”

"Go away, I pity you, who pity me! If you want to see a doctor and take medicine, you can get the money, otherwise I will report to the police!"

Shopkeeper Sun's ugly face was clearly evident, Fang Qiang couldn't help shaking his head slightly, the middle-aged man in ragged clothes looked straight and dull at first glance, he knelt down on the ground because of his wife's illness, this shopkeeper Sun not only didn't show sympathy, but even reported to the authorities, This ugly nature of profit-seeking is really annoying.

"Shopkeeper Sun!" Fang Qiang really couldn't see it anymore, so he said, "It's said that doctors are parents. Isn't it too unreasonable for you to do this?"

"This……"

Fang Qiang was well-dressed and imposing, and he seemed to have a lot of background at first glance. Shopkeeper Sun didn't dare to offend him, so he rolled his eyes and said: "Young master, you don't know, these untouchables are the toughest, and they won't die after being sick for a day or two! "

"Nonsense!" Fang Qiang finally couldn't hide the anger in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and give him the medicinal materials, I will pay for the medicine!"

"Hey hey, that's a good relationship!"

Shopkeeper Sun smiled for a moment, money is the most important thing in his eyes, and everything else can be put aside.

The middle-aged man saw that Fang Qiang had paid for his medicine, so he kowtowed on the ground and said, "Please leave your name, sir. If you understand, you will be rewarded in the future!"

Fang Qiang hurriedly helped up this loving and righteous man, "Brother Dong, you're welcome, it's more important to see a doctor for your sister-in-law, hurry up and grab the medicine!"

Dong Dake's eye circles turned red all of a sudden, and Fang Qiang's "Brother Dong" made him feel mixed feelings.For the first time, he felt something called dignity.

Dong Da is a person who is not good at expressing, but he knows how to repay him, so he decided to keep Fang Qiang's kindness in his heart.

Dong Dake kowtowed heavily on the ground three times, and then went to get medicine with his assistant.

Fang Qiang took this opportunity to chat with shopkeeper Sun about the purpose of the trip.

"Shopkeeper Sun, I need a century-old Polygonum multiflorum. The price is not an issue. Do you have it?"

"This……"

Shopkeeper Sun shook his head helplessly and said: "This son's century-old Polygonum multiflorum is really rare. There is no small store, so I wonder if the 50-year-old one is okay?"

"no!"

Fang Qiang refused without hesitation. Polygonum multiflorum is used to refine Xisui Pill, and the year is not enough for one day.
