different devil life

In order to ensure the success of the operation, Wang Zhong agreed to the county magistrate Yu Qing and sent them thirty Sun family guards.

"Master Wang, thank you for your help this time." Outside Zhao's house, the county magistrate Yu Qing cupped his hands in thanks.

This county magistrate is called Yu Qing. Although he is not a good official, he dare not accept the Zhao family's wallet for such a big matter as a horse thief.

"It's everyone's duty to eliminate harm for the people, and County Magistrate Yu is really too polite."

Wang Zhong smiled and continued: "The Zhao family is obviously the mastermind behind the horse thief. This time, the county magistrate arrested the horse thief behind the scenes. In terms of merit, you will be the first. Please don't forget about our Sun family."

"Hahaha……"

Hearing the words Jiaguan Jinjue, County Magistrate Yu laughed and nodded with satisfaction.

Everyone is a showman, so why can't he hear Wang Zhong's words? Wang Zhong has given him the great merit of catching the horse thief and helped the government solve such a serious problem. He will definitely be promoted, there is no doubt about it.

While remembering Wang Zhong's words in his heart, Yu County Magistrate also changed his view of Wang Zhong.

I used to think that he was just a useless scholar, but now it seems that he hides his secrets, at least he is very good.

……

"Wang Erping, you killed my three sons and ruined my family. Even if I were a ghost, I would never let you go!!!"

In the Zhao mansion, Zhao Wu's heart-piercing roar came.

At this moment, he was full of remorse. He originally thought that Wang Zhong was a useless scholar, but he didn't expect the Sun family to grow stronger under his hands. He regretted it, regretted being an enemy of Wang Zhong! !

Zhao Wu finally committed suicide, and the house servants and maidservants were sent out one by one.

As for his family, they were all killed by Zhao Wu at the last moment.

Zhao Wu couldn't do anything about it. Once the crime of horse thief was found out, the nine clans would be implicated, and all the women in the family would be sent to be Chang chickens. Naturally, he didn't want to see his family like that.

Seeing the corpses being carried out one after another, Wang Zhong remained expressionless and his heart was calm.

Cruel?

He doesn't think that this society is a jungle society. Whether it is ancient or modern, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself!

As for the Zhao family's money, it was naturally confiscated, and even the court personally came to transport the money away.

There is no way, the two northern provinces are in rebellion, and the frontline soldiers, horses, food and grass are seriously tense, and the court is now short of money.

…………

A month later, Yu Qing was promoted to governor as expected.

Wang Zhong rewarded thousands of acres of land for his meritorious service in exterminating horse thieves.

In the county, every household knew about Wang Zhong's deeds. Everyone knew that the son-in-law of the Sun family was a great hero, and it was he who solved the horse thieves around the county.

I don't know who gave Wang Zhong a nickname, the Great Hero Master Wang. This title has lasted for many years.

Three years later, the Sun family's industry expanded across the board, especially the farmers who leased the Sun family's fields, whose output was higher than others.

As for the imperial court, the crown prince came to power and worked hard to govern, and finally suppressed the two rebellious provinces, and the country restored peace.

When Wang Zhong was 30 years old, his son Sun Wenlong had already followed Sun Jitian to dance guns and clubs, and Sun Xiuxiu was happy again.

Regarding this, Wang Zhong said that everything was an accident. That night, he and Sun Xiuxiu...

A year later, Sun Xiuxiu gave birth to a daughter, and Wang Zhong found that he liked her more. Under Sun Xiuxiu's suggestion, Wang Zhong chose his surname this time, so he named his daughter Wang Duoduo.

Five years later, Sun Wenlong was 15 years old. He liked to dance with guns and clubs since he was a child. Under the leadership of Sun Jitian, he went to other provinces to learn martial arts.

"Wenlong, listen to your uncle when you are outside, and don't argue with others."

Seeing that her son was going on a long trip, Sun Xiuxiu's eyes turned red.

Wang Zhong was still expressionless. Sitting in the main seat, he calmly drank tea and said, "Kung Fu is not the main thing. You should hold the two flintlock guns. You should learn how to dismantle them and how to aim them. Do you understand?"

After speaking, he also sighed.

When Sun Wenlong was a child, he tried to teach him arts and sciences, but it was a pity that this child, like his uncle, was a master who liked to wield knives and guns.

"Don't worry, Erping, sister, I will take good care of him. If this kid dares to mess around, I will beat him to death." Sun Jitian, who only had one hand left, said heartily.

The five-year-old daughter who was sitting in Wang Zhong's arms blinked and looked extremely curious.

Five years later, through a matchmaker, his son Sun Wenlong married the county magistrate's daughter, and the two got along very well.

Daughter Wang Duoduo is ten years old, and is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although she is still young, she is still the same as Sun Xiuxiu back then, with a cute appearance and a delicate personality.

At night, Wang Zhong looked at his gray hair in the bronze mirror, feeling a little emotional.

As the saying goes, one stands at thirty, one is not confused at forty.

In the blink of an eye, forty years have passed like this.

The development of the Sun family is getting better and better. With the help of his father-in-law, Sun Wenlong also entered the army camp and became a battalion commander.

What used to be a small county town has now become a big city.

It's just that I have also entered middle age.

"Master, do you want to take a concubine?" Seeing Wang Zhong looking in the mirror, Sun Xiuxiu came from the bedside.

Today's Sun Xiuxiu has also changed from a slim girl to a middle-aged woman.

Due to poor maintenance in ancient times, it looks wrinkled and very old-fashioned.

"Why did Madam say this?"

"The masters of other families all marry at least three concubines and four concubines, so that they can prosper. If you want to, take a concubine. I recently read it for you. The daughter of the steward, Tweety Seventeen, is very beautiful. And Liu Er, the youngest daughter of the chef in the restaurant, is 15 years old."

"Ma'am, I don't need to talk about these things. I haven't thought about taking concubines yet."

Wang Zhong put down the bronze mirror, "Go to bed and sleep."

"But master, I'm old and I can't serve you well anymore." Sun Xiuxiu took off Wang Zhong's clothes and said with emotion: "Master, I know that you are good, and you are thinking of me, but I think you should think more about yourself. Think about it."

Just after finishing speaking, the maid outside suddenly knocked on the door: "Madam, it's not good. Grandma Chen coughed suddenly just now, cough, cough... coughing up blood."

The servant girl spoke anxiously, even coughing herself.

Chapter 16 Infectious Diseases

Grandma Chen is exactly Wang Zhong's mother, Chen Yu.

Now from the perspective of the ancients, he is not young anymore, and his health has not been very good in recent years, and he basically walks around in his own yard.

"I went to see my mother-in-law yesterday and she was fine, why did this happen all of a sudden." Sun Xiuxiu simply dressed, opened the door and said to the servant girl, "What's going on?"

"Cough, cough, cough... Nanny Chen has been suffering from a cold for the past few days, and she has been coughing all the time. She just coughed up blood. I'm afraid something will happen, so I'm here to inform you, cough cough..."

Seeing the maid coughing like this, Wang Zhong frowned, and immediately closed the door.

"Master, you are..."

"I'm afraid I have some kind of infectious disease." Wang Zhong took a piece of cloth and wrapped it around his nose and mouth as a mask: "You wait inside, don't go out."

…………

Sun House.

Mother Chen Yu's room.

"Master Wang, your mother suffers from lung disease, so she keeps coughing up blood foam. It's better for you to stay away from her to avoid infection."

The doctor walked to the door of Chen Yu's room, took out a brush and paper to write, but just as he was about to write, he himself coughed.

"Ahem..." Not only him, but the maid behind him also coughed.

Wang Zhong was startled. He saw that the maid had been coughing all the time, so he wondered if it was an infectious disease. Now that he saw it, it was very likely that it was true.

In ancient times, not many people died in wars. The real deaths were due to illnesses, especially infectious diseases.

The ancient infectious diseases in Western countries included the Black Death and the plague. Tens of millions of people died in Europe, and the population dropped sharply.

We are a monsoon country.The temperature is uneven in winter and summer, the atmospheric circulation is unstable, and the geological structure is complex. It is located on the west coast of the Pacific Ring of Fire.Therefore, in the past thousands of years of history, we have had many disasters, which are rare in the world.

The main injuries were typhoid fever, tuberculosis, leprosy, malaria, smallpox and so on.

"Doctor, are there many people coughing in the city recently?" Wang Zhong asked, covering his mouth and nose.

"It's strange to say that these days are people who cough. I prescribe the right medicine according to the previous prescription, but the effect is not obvious." After the doctor finished speaking, he coughed a few times and said, "Master Wang, this is the prescription. You have three meals a day. Make medicine for your mother, and I have to go to my next home to see a doctor, so don't bother me."

"Well, this is a little silver, please trouble." Wang Zhong handed over the consultation fee.

After the doctor accepted it, he bowed his hands and said goodbye.

After hearing what the doctor said, Wang Zhong was almost sure that this infectious disease should be lung disease caused by influenza.

As soon as Lang Zhong left, Wang Zhong quickly arranged for people to get ready.

"Go to the market to buy [-] barrels of aged vinegar, then boil the old vinegar, put it in each room for disinfection, hurry up."

"Go to the pharmacy to buy indigo root, crush the indigo root and boil it into soup. Everyone must drink three bowls in the morning, noon and evening. Anyone who is coughing, has a headache and hot feet, they are all arranged to rest in a side room and not allowed to come out."

"Arrange a cloth shop to make a square cloth like mine. Everyone wears it on their mouth and nose. Remember, this is called a mask. No one is allowed to take it off except for eating."

Due to the limited conditions in ancient times, Wang Zhong could only use the most primitive method in modern society to resist influenza. First, disinfect with vinegar. This is very common in modern society. Whenever a large-scale epidemic occurs, public places will be filled with the smell of vinegar. Of course , With the development of society, disinfectant water is gradually used now.

Then there is indigo root. The so-called indigo root is actually Banlangen. In ancient times, most people believed that Banlangen can clear away heat and detoxify. In fact, it also has the effect of preventing colds and relieving throat.

The servants began to carry out Wang Zhong's orders in an orderly manner. Although these people did not understand Wang Zhong's intentions, the master was very majestic in their hearts, and they did not dare to disobey.

……

Seven days later, the flu really broke out, and the streets were full of coughing people. Many people with poor constitutions coughed up blood, and finally coughed to death.

For a while, people in the city were in panic, saying that there was an infectious disease here, and many people were frightened and left the city overnight.

But what surprised everyone was that in the Sun Mansion, except for some sick people at the beginning, everyone else was in good health, all thanks to Wang Zhong's early prevention and treatment.

After confirming that his method was effective, Wang Zhong bought a large piece of vinegar and indigo root and distributed them to every family in the county to teach them how to resist the flu.

At first, everyone didn't believe it, but as more and more people got better and the number of sick people stopped increasing, everyone believed it.

From then on, in the eyes of others, Wang Zhong changed from a businessman and hero Wang to a benevolent, healing and saving people.

Now, his reputation is higher than that of Sun Yuanwai who has already left. Many people will call him Wang Yuanwai when they see Wang Zhong.

……

A year later, his mother Chen Yu's sanity was already demented, so Wang Zhong has been by Chen Yu's side for the past few days.

"Mr. Wang, have you seen my son? My husband is Wang Quancai. He is a scholar. He was injured by thieves in Sun's house. I am going to see him now, but my son is missing..."

On the hospital bed, Chen Yu held Wang Zhong's hand and cried.

Wang Zhong sighed in his heart, he knew that his mother was thinking of the day when he deliberately disappeared.

"Mom, your son is here."

"You are...you are Erping."

Chen Yu smiled foolishly, "My Erping has finally grown up, it's a pity your father died early, Erping, in the future, you must be well..."

That night, Chen Yu left, and she walked peacefully.

Wang Zhonghou buried Chen Yu, even though he knew in his heart that all of this was a game, and the purpose of the game he played was to gain experience points and exchange life elixir.

But after a long time, people still have feelings, especially my mother in the game.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and another year passes.

Under Sun Xiuxiu's strong request, Wang Zhong still took a concubine.

Sun Xiuxiu said that she hoped that her husband would be well served by someone.

The concubine is a little girl from a villager in the countryside, her name is Yu'er, she is 15 years old like a flower, but her father owes her debts from gambling, so Yu'er is dragged by a group of gangsters to pay off the debt, and Sun Xiuxiu happens to see her on the street , So he spent some silver to redeem her back.

A year later, Yu'er also gave birth to a cute girl.

Yu'er is very sensible, besides serving Wang Zhong, she also obeys Sun Xiuxiu and calls her sister.

…………

Time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, both Wang Zhong and Sun Xiuxiu were already 52.

Wang Zhong's health deteriorated day by day, and he was finally lying on the bed, unable to get out of bed.
