Chapter 5 Casting a Net to Find Someone
When the merchant poured the big black pill that looked similar to the bezoar supernatant pill of the later generations into Li Jing's mouth with warm water, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Li Jing's face gradually becoming ruddy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hey, hey! It seems that this Tang family kid's pill is still a little useful! The bearded guest couldn't help but rub his hands happily as he watched his old brother's face gradually improve.
"Let's hurry up and think about finding the Tang family's brother!" The merchant saw that Li Jing's originally pale face was gradually improving, and he was half relieved, but then he remembered that the top priority now was to find Tang Jun, so he turned his head to look at the bearded man and Li Ziqian.
Li Ziqian and Chu Yao have been guarding Li Jing, and now that they see that Li Jing has improved, and they are also relieved, Chu Yao is a little shaky, and her face is a little pale. She has always been pampered, where has she suffered this, she didn't close her eyes for two days and a night, and she was worried and anxious, and her spirit was much worse.
Li Ziqian beckoned to Coral, ordered her to help Chu Yao to rest, and led the merchant and the bearded guest out of the outer world.
Because the merchants brought the bearded guests and brought medicine, the imperial doctors were inconvenienced here, so Li Ziqian found an excuse, only saying that the imperial doctors had worked hard, and invited them to the side hall of the main courtyard to arrange tea and dinner, which only separated them.
The three of them walked around Dobaoge and sat down at the small round table in the outer room, where tea was served.
"Grandpa Zhang, who is that Tang Jun you are talking about?" Li Ziqian held the teacup, but he didn't have the heart to drink it.
Because of his trust in the bearded customer and the merchant, Li Ziqian did not hesitate to let the merchant feed his grandfather to take the pill, but for Tang Jun, he still wanted to ask clearly.
"Hey! That kid is the future head of the Tang family, and he said that he had just left Chang'an because of something in the clan. The bearded guest felt depressed when he talked about it, and he didn't leave early or late, but he ran away when something happened to his old brother.
"Oh?" Li Ziqian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, so coincidental? Those imperial doctors also said that this poison is weird, right?
"Brother Ziqian! I don't think it's time for us to pursue this matter, it's the key to wake up grandpa first, and the rest of the things may as well be investigated slowly later. ”
Shang Shang glanced at Li Ziqian and sensed his thoughts, in fact, she also had the same thoughts as Li Ziqian, but no matter what kind of thoughts she had, now was not the time to pursue it, Li Jing's condition was the most important.
"Hmm!" Li Ziqian put down the teacup, looked at the green tea leaves in the cup, and thought about who could be trusted in his hand, grandpa's illness did not heal for a day, he couldn't relax for a day, and the matter of finding the Tang family pharmacy had to be carried out in secret, if it was detected by the people behind the scenes, I don't know what would happen!
"Grandpa! Are you sure that Brother Tang is talking about the pharmacy in Xicheng? The merchant looked at the bearded guest, and once again made sure that too many people could not be sent to this matter, if the scope was too large, I was afraid that it would take more time to search, and I don't know if Grandpa Li would be able to survive until then?
"It should be Xicheng, his pharmacy is complete, and the business is also big, I guess you can find a bigger pharmacy, and you don't have to worry about too small shops!" The bearded guest pondered the situation that Tang Jun had mentioned to him in the past.
There are more than 30 large pharmacies in the area where the pharmacies are concentrated in Xicheng, not to mention those small and medium-sized pharmacies, there are only 100 pharmacies in the entire Chang'an, and how much time does it take to find them one by one?
"In that case, Brother Ziqian! We might as well start with a large pharmacy, comb the large pharmacy first, if not, then go to the small and medium-sized pharmacy to ask, so that you can save some time. ”
The merchant pondered for a while, and only this was the safest, so he turned his head and said to the bearded guest: "What is Grandpa's token?" I wonder if it's convenient to take it out and let them hold it? ”
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a piece of jade that I carry with me." As he spoke, the bearded man pulled out a red rope from his chest, on which was tied a piece of crystal clear mutton fat white jade, which was more than a little better than the bracelet in the merchant's hand.
When the merchant took the jade and looked at it carefully, he saw that the round jade face was engraved with the word "beard" in Yangwen, and the tentacles were warm, and it was a rare piece of warm jade.
"Who should I give this piece to?" Li Ziqian couldn't help but hesitate, he wasn't worried about losing it, but there was only one piece, and it was difficult to give it to anyone.
"Is there any ink in the house?" Shang Shang had an idea, if he used this jade to dip the ink ink and print it on the paper, he only needed to take this paper and send one person, wouldn't it?
Hearing the businessman's inquiry, Li Ziqian's eyes lit up and turned around, and he hurriedly asked someone to get the ink in the study, and printed twenty pieces of paper with words in one go.
"Okay, I'll take this paper to arrange manpower, and grandpa will ask you here." Li Ziqian carefully folded the paper and put it into his sleeve, he had already thought about it, he had to arrange it immediately, time waited for no one!
"There you go! Grandpa, I have my own here, I'm watching. The merchant patted Li Ziqian in understanding, and urged him to eat two bites of snacks before letting him go.
Soon after Li Ziqian left, there were more fresh faces in the west city of Chang'an, wearing an inconspicuous green cloth cotton robe, in a big pharmacy, he didn't ask for a doctor, only took a piece of paper that seemed to be a prescription and looked for the shopkeeper's question, and he didn't know what to ask?
The Jimin Hall at the end of Xicheng Street is one of the largest pharmacies on this street in Xicheng, and there are people waiting outside when the shop door is opened early in the morning, and the doctors who see the doctor inside are too busy to be busy, even at the end of the most deserted street, compared with other small pharmacies, the degree of prosperity is really hot.
A man in a green cloth cotton robe entered the shop quietly near noon, looked at the medicine cabinet in the shop that was as high as the roof, and looked at the doctors in the hall one after another, and there was some hope in his quiet eyes.
This is already the fifth shop he has gone, and this big pharmacy in Xicheng is almost finished by them, if this shop at the end of the street is not yet, I am afraid that I will have to return to Young Master Sun and inquire in the small and medium-sized shop.
"Where is your shopkeeper?" The man in the green robe walked to the medicine cabinet and asked the medicine grabber standing behind the cabinet.
"What are you looking for from our shopkeeper?" The little servant looked the man in front of him up and down, a cotton robe was inconspicuous, but for some reason, he always felt a little panicked when he looked at this man, as if he was being targeted by some fierce beast.
"If you want to find a rare medicinal herb, do you want to ask the shopkeeper if you have it?" The man in the green robe didn't care at all about the arrogant attitude of the little servant, and with his identity, he would not be as familiar as this half-grown child.
"The shopkeeper is in the inner room, and you can enter through this door." The servant looked at him again and again to make sure that he didn't look like he was here to make trouble, then he raised his chin, pointed to a small door covered by a cotton curtain next to the medicine cabinet, and motioned for him to enter, but with the other hand he took a prescription handed by a person next to him, and went to grab the medicine.
The man in the green robe arched his hand, turned around and glanced around the store, and then opened the curtain and entered the inner hall.
As soon as his figure disappeared, a medium-sized man approached the medicine grabber with an obscene face, lowered his voice and asked, "What did that man ask you just now?" ”
"Who are you? Why am I telling you? The little servant was busy and impatient.
The middle-aged man pushed away the old woman who was waiting to get the medicine with one hand, handed the little maid ten big money, and smiled at him flatteringly.
"He came to look for medicine, saying that it was a rare medicinal herb, and he wanted to find the shopkeeper."
The little servant looked at the big money in the middle-aged man's hand, smiled and accepted it. He was an apprentice, and he only had a hundred dollars a month, and these ten dollars were enough for him to use for a while, not to mention that the man was not asking a big deal, there were often such people who came to the store to ask for medicine, and he was used to it, so don't let this money be in vain.
"The first-class guards of the Patriotic Mansion came out to buy medicine?" The middle-aged man looked puzzled, he hadn't heard that anyone in the Weiguo Mansion was sick! And still want rare medicinal herbs?
That's news! I wonder if the Lord is interested?
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man didn't care about his original intention to come and see the head wind, so he took three steps and two steps out of the door and ran towards the south city.
It's past midnight, but it's better to count it as a shift!! Sleepy! Crawl away!!
