Princess Fubao brought trillions of goods to help her father rule the world

Chapter 306: Making Trouble, Leaving the City

Three days passed in a flash, and Dajing had not yet found a way to contain the plague.

During the morning court session, Emperor Dajing pondered for a long time, almost using up all his strength, before he said that he would adopt the prince's suggestion.

For a moment, the helpless sighs of the ministers were heard in the hall.

This plague came suddenly, and after so long, neither the Imperial Medical Bureau nor folk doctors have been able to find the source or the method.

Now even the mugwort leaves used for epidemic prevention have been raised to sky-high prices.

The imperial court also issued an order not to raise the price too much, but the noble families and merchants who owned mugwort were so eager to make money that they didn't listen at all...

Even if the imperial court arrested a few people who sold mugwort at sky-high prices, it would be of no use.

Right now, the people of Dajing are extremely uneasy, and they hope every day that the court can come up with a way to completely eradicate this hateful plague.

Wang Baben was selling masks with a smile on his face when Erlangzi suddenly ran into the store in a panic.

"Brother! It's urgent..."

Wang Baben calmly handed out the masks to the people waiting to buy them.

After sending all the guests away, Wang Baben let his younger brothers look after the shop.

I followed Erlangzi to the backyard.

"What's wrong? You can tell me now!"

Erlangzi's face turned red from holding back his anger. He hurriedly whispered, "Brother, let's pack up and leave the city! I just saw many people outside, hurriedly carrying their bags and leaving the city!"

Wang Baben frowned slightly: "Then have you found out why they are in such a hurry to leave the city?"

Erlangzi leaned closer to Wang Baben and whispered, "I asked several people and they said that the court decided to arrest and burn all those infected with the plague!"

Wang Baben's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.

"Burn to death? Arrest all of them, regardless of whether they have mild or severe symptoms?"

Five out of ten people in Dajing have been infected with the plague. If we arrest and burn them all, that would mean millions of people...

Is this Emperor Dajing crazy?

This plague has been going on for so long, and there is no solution at all?

My God, are the imperial doctors in Dajing just there to do nothing?

"Yes! I heard that no matter whether the case is mild or severe, they will all be caught, burned to death and buried in a pit! Big brother, let's go quickly, I think Dajing is going to be in chaos!"

Erlangzi swallowed his saliva unconsciously as he spoke.

If the imperial court really does this, the people of Dajing will surely rise up in resistance...

A hint of panic appeared in Erlangzi's eyes.

Maybe...some people who are infected with the plague want to take someone with them before they die, so they will deliberately come into contact with healthy people...

By then...Dajing will be like hell on earth.

Wang Baben obviously thought of this as well. He said seriously, "Close the shop, pack up your things, and go!"

After saying that, Wang Baben walked quickly into the shop.

Seeing that there were still many people waiting outside to buy masks, he coughed lightly and said loudly: "Everyone, we are closed today, and there are no masks in stock! Please go back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the person in front of him said dissatisfiedly: "Boss, please don't lie with your eyes open. You still have so many masks in your store, but you told us that there are no more...Are you going to temporarily increase the price?"

When the people at the back heard this, they immediately rushed forward.

"What? You don't want to sell it anymore? Why not? It's not like we won't pay you!"

"That's right, the price of your masks has increased more than once, and we didn't say anything! What do you mean by saying you won't sell them now? You must give us an explanation!"

"That's right! Give us an explanation, or we'll smash your shop!"

Wang Baben heard the anger on everyone's faces and the threats to smash his shop, and his aura suddenly burst out.

He slowly scanned everyone's faces and suddenly sneered.

A bad premonition arose in the hearts of the people who were originally making trouble.

Then Wang Baben's nonchalant voice was heard: "I'm giving you room, come in and smash it now!"

When everyone heard Wang Baben say this, they immediately fell silent.

They were just a little dissatisfied, but they didn't really want to smash it.

Can't you just make a fuss and vent your anger?

Seeing that everyone was keeping their heads down and not talking, Wang Baben snorted coldly and turned back.

The second fool also imitated his elder brother and snorted coldly at everyone, then slammed the door shut.

Seeing this, the people in the queue became more and more anxious.

They all directed their criticism at the man who was the first to cause trouble.

"It's because of your nonsense that Manager Wang got angry. What will we do if he stops selling masks in the future?"

"That's right! If Shopkeeper Wang gets angry and stops selling masks, we will tear your house down!"

The man who started first had a stiff face. He originally wanted to provoke everyone's anger.

Under pressure from the public, Shopkeeper Wang will take out the masks and continue selling them.

But who could have thought that Shopkeeper Wang would be so tough.

It was a cold winter day and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Wang Baben doesn’t have time to care what these people think now.

"Pack up all the remaining masks, as well as the money we've earned these days! We'll set off soon!"

They now have thousands of masks left, and if nothing unexpected happens, these masks will be enough.

These bandit minions quickly packed up their things and left the city before the gates were locked.

Before everyone had time to breathe a sigh of relief, they saw that the road ahead was densely packed with people.

Erlangzi looked at Wang Baben standing beside him, and his voice could not hide his panic.

"Brother, can we get out of Dajing safely this time?"

Wang Baben narrowed his eyes and looked forward, his eyes gradually becoming firm.

"Don't worry, we have the little princess to protect us, and there are many brothers waiting for us at home. We will definitely leave Dajing safely!"

In fact, he was not sure about it, but these brothers who followed him around had families.

No matter what, he must bring them back to the capital safely!

Erlangzi took a deep breath and said firmly, "Okay! If I unfortunately get infected with the plague, you take the brothers away! Just take good care of my mother for me... Tell her that I'm on an errand for the princess and can't go home for a while..."

Wang Baben raised his hand and patted Erlangzi on the head, saying unhappily: "Would you like to hope for the best? The road is not peaceful, everyone should be smart and don't use guns if you can! Didn't we learn some martial arts from Xiaoyi and the others? Now it's time to show them off!"

The bandits replied with full energy, and then they started on their way.

Along the way, they saw many refugees fleeing to the capital from other places, and also saw many men, women, and children lying lifeless on the roadside.

Even though Wang Baben had experienced three years of severe drought in Beixiao, he still felt a little sorry to see such a scene.

But no matter how reluctant he was, he couldn't take out the masks in his hands and share them with those who were still alive.

Not only will it cause looting, but it will also put his brothers in danger.
