The next morning, Fu Su arrived at Xia Wuqi's mansion.
Because Fu Su had taken over the job of curing the plague, Xia Wuqie finally managed to sleep in. At this moment, he was still lying on the bed sleeping like a dead pig. Fu Su called out to Xia Wuqie a few times, but he remained indifferent.
In the end, Fu Su had no choice but to sit on a stool and wait for him to wake up.
After some time, Xia Wuqie turned over.
"Who is it?" In an instant, he was startled awake. When his eyes were hazy, he was most afraid of a figure suddenly appearing in front of him.
If this had happened in the future, Xia Wuqi would have cursed him a few times already.
"Young Master Fusu?" Xia Wuqi calmed himself down when he saw that it was Fu Su. Then, he hurriedly put on his clothes.
Fu Su didn't waste any time. He took out a piece of silk from his pocket and placed it on Xia Wuqi's table.
"Lord Xia, I came here today to ask for your help.”
At this moment, Xia Wuqi had also put on his clothes. He got down from the bed and picked up the silk that Fu Su had put down."Young Master, feel free to speak."
"Buy the herbs recorded on the silk from all of Xianyang. Buy as many as you have. If you don't have enough gold, come to the Eldest Young Master's manor to collect them.”
Xia Wuqie's eyes widened. The silk was filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs.
How much would it cost to buy it?
"Eldest Young Master, is it because of the oath you made yesterday?”
"Young Master, listen to this old minister. The plague is of great importance. Young Master is not proficient in medicine.”
Ever since Fu Su swore the oath yesterday, Zhao Gao had already sent people to spread the news throughout Xianyang. It could be said that the entire Xianyang City knew that Young Master Fu Su had taken over the plague.
Almost everyone had the same thought: It was impossible.
Fu Su's identity was undeniable, but he had never done any research on medicine. Rumors had already spread in Xianyang City that Fu Su's benevolence and righteousness would definitely cause the people to die.
After Xia Wuqie found out about this matter yesterday, he immediately shouted,"No!" in the imperial court, but Li Si and Zhao Gao joined forces to rebuke him.
When he saw Fu Su today, he wanted to dissuade him, but he did not expect Fu Su to wave his hand and say,""Milord, there is no need to say anything. This matter is very urgent, so please do not delay.”
After Xia Wuqi's persuasion failed, he even threatened Fu Su to starve himself to death if he did not come to his senses. However, Fu Su only nodded and said that it did not matter whether he died or not. If the medicinal herbs were delayed, he would really die. Only then did Xia Wuqi agree.
After walking out of Xia Wuqi's mansion, Fu Su put on the mask that Qiu Yu had sewn with several layers of silk yesterday. He walked out of Xianyang Palace and headed toward Xianyang City.
After a while, Fu Su arrived at the largest tailor shop in Xianyang City.
He took out another mask from his pocket and asked the shop owner to make thousands of masks based on this one. He also agreed to come and collect them in three days.
Then, he rushed back to Xianyang Palace without stopping.
......
Xianyang Palace, Mystic Bird Hall.
Although the First Emperor was not in Xianyang, Li Si and Zhao Gao were in charge of the government, so the morning court session was still held.
Although Li Si and Zhao Gao controlled the government, they only accepted the memorials from the officials. The two of them were not qualified.
Qin Shihuang was a famous liver emperor in history. From attacking the Xiongnu in the north to conquering the Baiyue in the south, to appointing and dismissing a small village chief, he had to give his approval personally. Other people were not allowed to make decisions on their own, or there would only be one outcome: death!
However, the plague in Xianyang these few days was an emergency. When the First Emperor returned, everyone in Xianyang would probably die.
Li Si stood below the platform and asked loudly,""Fellow colleagues, do you have anything to report to His Majesty the First Emperor?”
"I have something to report."
A man dressed in black official robes stood out. He was Great Qin's internal historian, who was in charge of taxes and the national treasury.
"What is the matter?"
"This year's grain harvest is scarce, and the various prefectures have not collected enough taxes.”
After saying that, Internal Secretary Zhi Su respectfully handed over the memorial in his hand.
Li Si nodded and put away the memorial. He then looked at the crowd and said loudly,""There's still a letter without a memorial?"
The hall was silent out of fear, and the officials shook their heads repeatedly.
"Left Minister Li, I have something to report.”
Just as Li Si was about to announce his retreat, a white-robed Fu Su walked out from the crowd.
At this moment, everyone already knew that Fu Su had vowed to quell the plague yesterday. They also guessed that Fu Su would report this matter.
"Eldest Young Master, what do you have to report?"
"In order to quell the plague, I need three thousand black armored guards, and every lord must shut the doors and windows tightly and isolate themselves from the palace after returning. Without my permission, they are not allowed to leave the palace.”
Everyone nodded when Fu Su said this. To deal with the people who were infected with the plague, the Black Armored Guards were needed. Now that the plague was everywhere in Xianyang City, even if Fu Su did not say anything, these officials would not leave the palace.
Li Si and Zhao Gao were even happier when they heard that. If Fu Su's requests could quell the plague, they would stand upside down and eat sh * t.
Moreover, in the most prosperous place of Xianyang City, they had placed a chess piece infected with the plague. If you want three thousand black armored guards, I can give you five thousand.
As long as the plague in Xianyang City doesn't die out, you, Fusu, will commit suicide to apologize.
Even if Fu Su ordered the black armored guards to slaughter the infected civilians, one or two thousand would still be fine, but if the entire city was infected, I'd like to see if Fu Su would still dare to massacre the entire city.
Moreover, with Fu Su's character, how could he do such a cruel thing?
Thinking of this, Li Si felt that victory was within his grasp, so he said without hesitation,""Alright, Eldest Young Master is right. If you want three thousand black armored guards, I'll give you five thousand!”
Just when everyone thought that Fu Su would gladly accept it, he shook his head.
"No, I only want three thousand."
This was not Fu Su pretending. What he wanted to do was to let these black armored guards carry out his orders. There was not much use in having too many people.
Moreover, the more people he brought out of the palace, the greater the risk of contracting the plague. The gains outweighed the losses.
After hearing that Fu Su had rejected the five thousand black armored guards, the officials were shocked.
Immediately, exhortations rang out in the hall.
"Eldest Young Master, don't act on impulse.”
"That's right, Eldest Young Master. Does Eldest Young Master not know the power of the Plague?”
"Eldest Young Master, please accept Left Minister Li's good intentions.”
Fu Su shook his head.”
Li Si and Zhao Gao laughed when they heard that. Aren't you asking for death by drinking pesticide?
You were very handsome when you pretended to be a b * tch in the main hall, but you were indeed in a sorry state when you committed suicide.
"Good!" " I'll give you 3,000!" Li Si said loudly." Eldest Young Master must have some extraordinary means to say that."”
After the morning court session ended, Li Si and Zhao Gao happily rushed to Young Master Huhai's residence.
Huhai had already found a new maid to warm his bed.
Huhai immediately got out of bed when he saw the two of them.
"Teacher, Left Minister Li, how is that kid, Fu Su?”
Zhao Gao and Li Si looked at each other and laughed.
"Young Master, that reckless fellow Fu Su wanted three thousand black armored guards. I offered him five thousand, but he actually refused.”
Huhai smiled smugly when he heard Li Si's words. He never realized that his older brother was someone who liked to talk big.
Zhao Gao also fanned the flames by the side,"I thought that Fu Su had some clever tricks up his sleeve. Even a three-year-old child knows the method he mentioned in the imperial court today.”
Huhai called him an expert.
"In that case, I think my brother will commit suicide.”
Li Si smiled smugly and patted Zhao Gao's shoulder.""I think even if he were to be laughed at by the world instead of committing suicide after his failure, His Majesty the First Emperor would not spare him when he returns!”
Zhao Gao also said proudly," Isn't that so? As long as he can't quell the plague, whether he kills himself or not, the position of Crown Prince won't be his. Who would let a young master who is ridiculed by the world be the Emperor of Great Qin?”
The three of them became more and more excited as they talked. They had already agreed to mock Fu Su after he failed.
