19, to death
The emperor nodded, "Quasi!" ”
Zhang Qingwu interrogated the other Tongfutang guys, some of these guys were in charge of selling medicine in the storefront, and they didn't know much about the warehouse, while the other guys in charge of the warehouse looked at Sun Qiansheng's eyes at first and didn't dare to squeak.
Subsequently, under the coercion and temptation of Zhang Qingwu and Lin Guang, they all confessed that the medicinal materials of that day were indeed placed in the west library of the city, and the owner asked them to replace the medicinal materials with hay and handed them over to the imperial court.
Sun Qiansheng looked at the guy who spoke in unison in disbelief, and didn't understand what was going on at all? How, how could it be like this? Their medicinal materials were obviously placed in the warehouse in the east of the city that day, but at that time, Huang Xiaosan said that there were too many rats in the warehouse in the west of the city, and if they bit the medicinal materials, they could not afford it, so they moved the medicinal materials to the east of the city. After the fire that day, he and the owner also rewarded Huang Xiaosan with one or two silver, glad that because of his proposal, Tongfutang escaped the catastrophe, but he didn't expect that today he and Tongfutang were sent into the bottomless abyss.
At this time, he realized that he had clearly fallen into Huang Xiaosan's trap, he was so angry and angry that he ignored that he was still on top of the Jinluan Hall at this time, so he shouted: "Huang Xiaosan, you, you framed me, you little rabbit cub with a mother and no father, you dare to frame me and the owner!" ”
The emperor's face turned cold, this Sun Qiansheng was so bold that he didn't take him seriously.
Zhang Qingwu has followed Zhuge Feng for many years, so he naturally understands his character, so he yelled at Sun Qiansheng: "Bold Sun Qiansheng, the emperor is here, when will it be your turn to shout." Huang Xiaosan is framing you, are all the guys framing you? Who is your owner? Quickly recruit from the truth. ”
Landlord? Oh, yes, and the owner, the owner will definitely be able to save him, thinking of this, Sun Qiansheng slowly calmed down.
"Return, back to the emperor, the owner of Tongfutang is the son of Nangong Liang, the general of the dragon dart, Nangong Zhi!" Sun Qiansheng regarded Nangong Zhi as his lifesaver at this time, but he didn't expect that this matter was widely implicated, and Nangong Zhi was afraid that he would not be able to protect himself.
Chang Gong gritted his teeth with hatred when he heard this, but he had to stand up and say: "Father, according to what the child said, Tongfutang is indeed a medicinal herb shop opened by Nangong Zhi, and now the shopkeeper Sun and his partners have their own words, why don't you pass Nangong Zhi and listen to what he has to say, maybe there is some misunderstanding here." ”
The queen saw that the emperor's face softened slightly because of Changgong's words, and secretly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, if it wasn't for Nalan Bing's reminder, she really ignored Zhuge Changgong, who had lost all her martial arts, but she didn't expect that in just a few months, his words could have such an impact on the emperor.
The queen, who had never spoken, opened her mouth at this time, "Your Majesty, the concubine was still wondering just now, how could the guy called Huang Xiaosan say that their host had already learned that the epidemic in Nanzhou was serious and needed medicine urgently, so they had accumulated a lot of medicinal materials."
Now the concubine finally understands that the east of Tongfutang is the son of General Nangong, which is no wonder. ”
After listening to the queen's words, the emperor faintly remembered Huang Xiaosan's words just now, and his newly soothed face was like a layer of frost, which was extremely cold.
There was incomparably coldness in his voice, and he said, "Pass on Nangong Zhi!" ”
"Chuan Nangong Zhi!"
It took about half an hour for the guards to bring Nangong Zhi to the Jinluan Palace, and Nangong Hong and Nangong Liang came with him.
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor! Knock on the mother Chitose Chitose! ”
The emperor sat on the dragon chair directly above, and looked at the three members of the Nangong family who were kneeling with an unprecedentedly complex eye. The Nangong family is the Nangong family again. Originally, although the Nangong family mastered the heavy troops of Tiannan, they had always been cautious and low-key, and they had always put him first in everything, which won his heart, but recently, the Nangong family has challenged his bottom line almost again and again.
Before getting the emperor's peace, Nangong Hong and the others kept kneeling and listening to Zhang Qingwu repeat the whole thing.
Nangong Hong and Nangong Liang looked at each other, took advantage of the country's difficulties to make a fortune, and replaced medicinal herbs with hay, causing hundreds of thousands of people in Nanzhou to be in dire straits, and Nangong Zhi could not afford such a crime.
Nangong Zhi kowtowed heavily to the emperor, and then said: "Your Majesty, Caomin Nangong Zhi is indeed the owner of Tongfutang. However, since the grass people opened this medicinal herb shop, they have been stockpiling medicinal materials every year in case of emergency, otherwise they would not have specially built two warehouses in the west and east.
This year, it is just a matter of accumulating medicinal materials according to the usual practice, and there is no news of the epidemic that has been received for a long time. At the time of the national crisis, how could Nangong Zhi make the money to raise the price of medicines, the reason why the price of medicinal materials this year will be higher than in the past is also because of the high share of medicine collected by the sudden rise of Bao Zhilin Pharmacy, which is definitely not intentional by the grass people. The saying that it is difficult to make a fortune is not a fact at all.
As for the medicinal materials temporarily placed in the Tongfutang warehouse, it is indeed stored in the warehouse in the east of the city, that is because the warehouse in the west of the city has recently had a rat disaster, and it is not easy to store the medicinal materials, so the medicinal materials were pressed and transported to the warehouse in the east of the city. ”
Then at this moment, Lin Guang looked at Nangong Zhi, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Huang Xiaosan also confessed that it was the Dragon and Tiger Dart Bureau that pressed the medicinal materials for Tongfutang at that time, but Huang Xiaosan also confessed that he had seen Nangong Zhi give the director of the Dragon and Tiger Dart Bureau a lot of silver taels, and asked him to leave Tiannan temporarily to avoid the limelight. The minister also went to check, but unfortunately, the Dragon and Tiger Dart Bureau had already been empty. ”
"What? This, how is this possible? The grass people have never explained to the head of the dart board like this! Nangong Zhi almost stood up excitedly, but was held down by Nangong Hong.
Nangong Hong cautiously said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the ministers have understood the matter now. Now these guys and Nangong Zhi have their own opinions, and no one has any substantive evidence.
Nangong Zhi is the nephew of the minister, and he grew up under the watch.
His character, the minister understands, the minister believes that there must be a misunderstanding here, and he has the courage to sweep the sky for Nangong, and he does not dare to make a fortune, and asks the emperor to see it. ”
His meaning was very clear, saying that Nangong Zhi had changed the medicinal materials and also came up with substantial evidence.
At this time, a guard reported the situation to Lin Guangyu, and there was a new development in the matter.
Lin Guang hurriedly relayed the news to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a report!" ”
"Accurate!"
"Your Majesty, the minister sent guards to the warehouse in the east of Tongfutang City to investigate the situation, and in the cellar of the warehouse, a large number of grass and seeds were found to cure the disease. According to the records in the account books of Tongfutang, there are not many new Cao Shangzi purchased today, and the amount they have left last year is exactly the amount they have in their cellar.
Chen Dou dared to guess that this was the medicinal herb that they had replaced with hay. ”
