Chapter 16: The Inner Ghost (Part II)

Although there are not many patients in the early morning Huichun Hall, it is as lively as ever. Doctors, errands, decoctions...... Everyone is busy.

Zhang Xiaoliu took the rag and wiped the countertop one by one, looking extremely focused.

He doesn't understand pharmacology, he only recognizes a few words, he does chores and errands here, and occasionally when he doesn't have enough manpower, he can grab two patches of medicine, which is the easiest job, but the salary is twice that of Wanxianglou! And the people here are unusually kind, if he doesn't work hard, he will be sorry for Li Gongzi!

Thinking so in his heart, Zhang Xiaoliu worked harder.

"Hey, Little Six!"

Someone patted him on the shoulder from behind, Zhang Xiaoliu turned his head and found that it was Xiaobei who asked for leave yesterday, so he also responded with a smile: "Xiaobei is early, is your body better?" ”

"That's it!" Xiaobei patted his chest, and his featureless face was full of energy, "Brother's body is very good, it's just a little illness, it's all right in one day!" ”

Seeing that his already small eyes narrowed into a line, Zhang Xiaoliu was also happy. After greeting for a while, the two went their separate ways as usual.

Xiao Bei grabbed a few pairs of medicines and sent them to the inner hall to fry, and there was no other work for a while, so she beckoned to Zhang Xiaoliu, "Eh, Xiaoliu, didn't anything happen when I wasn't there yesterday?" Small eyes stared at Zhang Xiaoliu, and he said with a little meaning: "Especially something special......

Zhang Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment, and smiled innocently: "What special thing can there be, isn't it like this every day?" Let's see a few patients! As he spoke, he lowered his head and wiped the table again, remembering in his heart what happened to Master Gao's medicinal materials yesterday, but Li Gongzi didn't let him say it, so he didn't say it!

Xiaobei rolled her eyes weakly, this head really doesn't understand anything! He was despised in his heart, and Xiaobei asked with a smile, "There is no special person here?" ”

Special? Zhang Xiaoliu frowned, really thinking about the patients who came and went yesterday. He has been in Wanxianglou for so long, and he naturally knows a lot of nobles.

"The shopkeeper Wan of Zhenbao Zhai on East Street has come, the housekeeper of Jingfu has also come, and he has invited the shopkeeper Zheng, and Aunt Wang, who lives in the small alley, has also come, and brought a basket of eggs, saying that it is to thank the doctor for curing her son's typhoid fever......"

Xiaobei listened to these inconsequential things, her eyelids kept rolling, and she waved her hand hurriedly, "Okay, okay, you go to work." "I can't ask any more about it, but it doesn't seem like anything has happened.

After whistling in his heart, Xiaobei watched Zhang Xiaoliu leave, and then looked at the surroundings and saw that there was no one around, so he took out a piece of khaki mulberry paper and quickly grabbed a few flavors of medicine in the medicine cabinet, and quickly wrapped it, thinking that it was seamless, and hummed a little song happily.

Just as he tied the knot and handed the medicine to Zhang Xiaoliu, a tall and burly man walked in at the door. The sharp eyes swept over, and finally fixed on Xiaobei's face, slightly dark.

Ming Qi quickly withdrew his sharp gaze, strode to the counter as if nothing had happened, and said loudly, "I'll take the medicine of Lord Gao." ”

Groov! Xiaobei's heart tightened.

On weekdays, Xiaoliu sent it to the house, why did you come here today? Isn't something wrong?

A slightly weak gaze turned to Zhang Xiaoliu's hand, he suddenly wanted to take back the medicine, but it had already been handed over to Ming Qi by Zhang Xiaoliu. Fortunately, Mingqi didn't make any special moves after getting it, and just turned around and left, which also made Xiao Bei breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a little boy hurriedly ran in, happened to bump into Ming Qi, and coincidentally knocked off the medicine in his hand......

All the qiē was completed in an instant, and no one noticed what small movements Ming Qi's hand made, and everyone would only regard it as an accident and not take it to heart, but Xiaobei's face suddenly turned pale.

Shopkeeper Zheng looked back when he heard the sound, and looked at the medicinal herbs scattered on the ground with some regret, but after a closer look, his wrinkled face couldn't help but squeeze together.

This...... Is this the medicine of tall adults?

Shopkeeper Zheng trembled to identify the medicine on the ground little by little, the wrinkles between his eyebrows became deeper and deeper, and the pupils in his slightly cloudy old eyes shrank, and he turned to glare at Xiaobei, whose legs were trembling, and asked angrily: "This is the medicine you caught for Master Gao?" The last note was a little shaky, and it could be heard that he was trying to suppress his anger at this time.

If this medicine is given to Master Gao, it would be strange if nothing happened! What the hell is this little shell doing!

A drop of cold sweat cut down Xiaobei's forehead, he secretly glanced at Mingqi, whose face was blue and black, and then looked at his burly figure, secretly swallowed his saliva, and immediately knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Hey, hey! Shopkeeper, I'm damned! I've confused the prescription of the tall man! I'm damned! ”

Xiaobei strongly condemned herself, and slapped her face while talking, her face was red and swollen one after another, and tears and snot flowed down her brain, what a miserable word?

If it is usual, the shopkeeper Zheng sees this situation and reprimands at most two sentences, but this is a matter of human life, and ...... "Phew! What kind of prescription are you grabbing! How come the old man has never seen such a prescription for medicine in his decades? Confused? Whose are you confusing it with? Take out the list and I'll see! ”

Tell nonsense with your eyes open! Is it true that he is old and dizzy? It's a matter of human life! Or the order of the imperial court...... Shopkeeper Zheng is becoming more and more afraid to think backwards.

Xiaobei lowered his head, sweat broke out on his forehead, his small eyes were dripping, and he was thinking about how to answer, but he was lifted from the ground with a strong force.

Ming Qi grabbed him by the collar, glared viciously, gritted his teeth and asked, "Say!" Who sent you? "He wants to see who dares to harm Lord Gao, and he will find out the culprit today!

"I ...... I was mistaken...... "The more Becky spoke, the quieter she became, her neck shrinking in. How could he confess to people casually and collect all the money......

All right! It's a hard mouth! Ming Qi laughed angrily, and threw him far away with a wave of his hand, accompanied by a loud "bang", raising a cloud of dust, and the person who fell hard happened to fall at the feet of Qing Li.

I've been watching the play outside the door, and now it's really a bit violent when I see this situation......

Qing Li shook the folding fan and stood in front of Xiaobei, seeing him grinning and covering his legs, but the smile on his lips became even stronger.

"Becky, right?" Qing Li squatted down and looked at him with a smile, his eyes were full of gentleness, but it made the other party feel creepy.

Xiaobei knows this Li Gongzi, and every time the shopkeeper Zheng sees him, he is respectful, and his identity must be extraordinary.

Holding his aching waist, Xiaobei struggled to stand up and knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Li Gongzi, the little one is wrong!" The little one shouldn't be wrong with the medicine for the tall adult! But the small one is an unintentional mistake! Li Gongzi ......"

He cried hard with a handful of snot and tears, attracting a bunch of onlookers, but Qing Li didn't care much.

Still hard-mouthed? Qing Li scoffed. If it was usual, she would be disgusted by someone kowtowing to her, and she would immediately let them get up, but the person in front of her affected what she cared about, then she didn't have to be polite!

"Pei Ye." Qing Li whispered to the door, and then walked in a man with five big and three thick clothes, playing with the wrench with his chubby fingers, not looking at the people on the ground.

Qing Li was satisfied to see Xiaobei's stiff expression, and asked with a smile: "Do you remember him?" Pei Ye of the Four Seas Gambling House. ”

As if she didn't see Xiaobei's face getting whiter and whiter, she leaned lazily towards the door, and her clear voice was deliberately amplified to everyone: "You lost five hundred taels in the gambling house yesterday, where did a medicine maid get so much money?" And...... If I'm not mistaken, you called in sick yesterday! ”

The smiling eyes swept over, and the words were loud, but the elegant momentum was fierce.

One contradiction after another was revealed, and all the evidence pointed to Xiaobei, obviously he was lying!

Everyone pointed and pointed, Xiaobei's body was already limp on the ground, and for a while it was like losing his soul, and he couldn't say anything.

Ming Qi sneered, grabbed him and walked out the door, and when he passed by Qing Li's side, he didn't forget to say respectfully: "Thank you!" ”

Qing Li bowed his head and was noncommittal. What to do next is his business, and for her, it is just to get rid of an internal thief......
