Chapter 731 Wei Chen is guilty!
Zhao Ji stood on the imperial steps with a gloomy face, pacing repeatedly.
But as I was pacing, another rather crucial question suddenly occurred to me:
"An Aiqing, when you went to the drug store to buy that kind of gauze, weren't you going there as an official?"
"If that's the case, do those drug store merchants dare to do this?"
As soon as Zhao Ji finished speaking, An Daoquan knelt down towards Zhao Ji who was still on the imperial steps:
"Wei Chen is guilty!"
"Back then, Wei Chen really wanted to send a few colleagues to buy gauze in batches from those pharmacies."
"But at that time, all the colleagues in the hospital were dedicated to treating the wounded."
"So, I didn't take the time to come."
"Wei Chen was anxious, so he contacted a lieutenant under General Zhong and asked him to assign a few soldiers to purchase from various drug stores."
"I never thought, but I never thought it would lead to such a disaster."
"Weichen, you are guilty!"
Zhao Ji closed his eyes slightly and sighed frequently, but he also waved his hand to An Daoquan who was kneeling under the imperial steps:
"An Aiqing, I don't blame you for this."
"After all, you were very busy at that time!"
"As for the men in the army, if they are allowed to go into battle to kill the enemy, it is okay, but if they are asked to distinguish the quality of those gauze, it will really be difficult for them."
"If we really want to blame this matter, we can only blame those treacherous and evil businessmen who recognize money but not people, who only have profit in their minds and do not care about the safety of other people's lives."
"If they had not interfered with this matter, how could it have caused such a disaster today?"
"These dogs!"
"Born from a bastard!"
"In order to earn that silver, I'll really do anything!"
"Ai Qing Zhong, please take a moment and call the soldiers who went to the drug stores to buy gauze, and ask them to take you to the drug stores where you bought the gauze."
"Catch all the owners and even the shopkeepers of the drug store. I have something I want to ask them face to face."
That kind of teacher's way is that of a general who loves his soldiers as much as his sons.
At this time, when An Daoquan heard this from his mouth, he couldn't help but feel furious in his heart.
At this moment, seeing that Zhao Ji actually took the initiative to ask about the matter, aside from saying anything else, just looking at the expression on his face, Zhong Shidao felt confident.
This time, as long as those profiteers are caught, they will not be able to have an easy life.
Master Zhong was overjoyed and hurriedly responded before leaving the Jinluan Hall in large strides.
Next, there was complete silence in the Jinluan Hall.
Zhao Ji himself was sitting steadily on the dragon throne.
While using the three index fingers of his left hand, he kept tapping the dragon case.
On the other hand, he lowered his head slightly, concentrating on the next thing.
I don't know how long it took.
When Zhong Shidao and others returned, not only were dozens of guards with swords following behind them, but at the same time, those guards with swords were also suppressing more than twenty people dressed as merchants.
Almost all of these people wear gold, silver, and gorgeous clothes, and almost all of them have fat heads and big ears.
One look at it and you can tell that their drug store business is very profitable.
If not, how could these people be fed so well that they would be so full of fat?
Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at the drug shop owners with a gloomy face for a long time, and then said coldly:
"In the defense battle of the capital a few days ago, our imperial guards of the Song Dynasty fought hard with the enemy for several days and nights, and finally they were able to push back all the hundreds of thousands of enemy troops."
"But because of this, our Song army suffered nearly 2 casualties."
"And those injured were transferred to a temporary medical aid point a few miles away from the capital a few days ago."
"But because of the gauze you sold, the wounds of the wounded soldiers showed signs of infection."
"If the infection is still in the limbs, it's still manageable."
"If the infection and pus are still on the head or chest and abdomen..."
"Then, those soldiers who once defended the capital of the Song Dynasty may lose their lives at any time."
"As the saying goes, state-owned legal institutions have family rules."
"Those soldiers of the Song Dynasty were killed like this just because they used the gauze sold in your drug store."
"Tell me, how should we deal with this matter?"
The owners and shopkeepers of those drug stores never expected that such a thing would lead to such a situation.
After all, they had done similar things before.
But at that time, apart from being cursed and attacked by some people at the bottom, there really was no other impact.
After all, since drug store owners like them can open stores in Tokyo, they also have many protective umbrellas.
If this is the case, how can those low-level soldiers and civilians be defeated easily?
So over time, these drug store owners went more and more overboard in this matter.
After all, looking at this from their perspective, the price of extremely clean medical gauze is usually relatively high.
On the other hand, what about those low-quality, inferior, and unknown gauze?
The price is much lower?
And every time the imperial court sends troops elsewhere, many wounded soldiers will inevitably be born.
In this case, how can their business here be bad?
In addition, the imperial court's arrangement and treatment of the injured soldiers had become extremely poor after layers of exploitation by Gao Qiu and other treacherous ministers.
This meant that even if the injured soldiers had various problems after using the gauze recommended by the drug store owners, the court would hardly take care of them.
Therefore, driven by many conditions, the drug store owners in the capital have become bigger and bigger in this matter.
Until today, when the medicine shop owners like them were brought here by Zhong Shidao and his soldiers, they felt a little bit of fear in their hearts.
The person kneeling closest to Zhao Ji on the side of the imperial steps was a fat man from a wealthy family wearing an emerald green silk shirt with a round face and a chubby body.
At this time, after hearing the question asked by Zhao Ji, he said impatiently:
"Go back to the official's house. My surname is Zhang. This is my opinion on the question asked by the official."
"Since this time, it was because of the villain's problem that the wounds of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty showed signs of suppuration and infection."
"The villain has a certain amount of responsibility."
"In this regard, the villain wants to pay ten times the price of a piece of gauze as compensation to comfort the injured soldier."
"But I don't know, but I don't know what the official's intention is?"
