Chapter Twenty-Nine

He Kui carefully took out a scarf from his arms, for fear of tearing the thing in his arms too hard, his hands trembled and presented the scarf in front of the holy woman and said flatteringly: "Back to the Holy Maiden, my subordinates did get a dose of ancient prescriptions, and they also sent people to buy these herbs according to the prescription, but there was no master of refining medicines under his subordinates, so he failed to achieve results. ”

The saint reached out and took the scarf, and slowly opened it to find that it was wrapped in a palm-sized piece of sheepskin. After picking it up and examining it carefully, he casually put it aside and asked, "Where did you get this?" ”

He Kui saw the Holy Maiden casually throw aside the ancient sheepskin recipe that he regarded as a treasure, and asked puzzledly, "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, is there anything wrong with this party?" ”

The saint said disappointedly: "This recipe was originally prescribed by my Qiang holy doctor, and I made a total of three copies, and I didn't count one of them until I went around and went around to you, and you tell me where this recipe came from?" ”

He Kui looked at the holy woman in front of him with an incredulous expression and said: "Here's the thing, four years ago, I asked a distant cousin to get a jailer's errand in the state government, maybe because of being honest and honest, I never beat and scolded the prisoner, and often talked with the prisoners in custody, and it didn't take long for me to become the head of the cell.

Although he is the head of the cell, this man's temperament is still the same as before, and he is still polite to the prisoner. According to him, about two years ago, a death row prisoner was escorted from Youzhou, and he was scheduled to be beheaded after the autumn, but now it is only July, and he is detained in the prison of the state capital waiting for the day to be beheaded. But how long has it been, this person has suddenly become critically ill and is about to die. My cousin went to report to the prefect and see if he could help heal him. Hearing the absurd request of my cousin, Liu Nantian, the prefect, just smiled and said, "He is a dying person, why are you bothering to do that effort!" In more than a month, the knife will be cut, and now if we die of illness, it will save us a lot of trouble! ”

What my cousin thought in his heart was that although this person had been sentenced to death for his heinous crime, the time had not yet come, and he should be treated when he was sick, so he invited a man from outside to the prison to treat this death row prisoner, and he also paid for the medicine. Maybe God also wanted this death row prisoner to live a few more days, and within a few days, the death row prisoner was cured. Death row inmates are very grateful to my cousin. A month had passed, and the day of execution was approaching, and one night, when the condemned prisoner saw my cousin coming to inspect the cell, he secretly stuffed this in the arms of my cousin, and escorted him away at dawn the next day. And my cousin opened it and found it to be a prescription, and it looked like it had been around for some years, and he gave it to me because he was grateful to me for making a living for his relationship.

After I got the prescription, I looked at the rare medicinal herbs on it, and every flavor was a priceless thing, so I felt that this prescription should not be an ordinary thing. It didn't take long for there to be a rumor that there was an ancient recipe for longevity and longevity, and I guessed it should be this thing, so I secretly began to collect precious medicinal materials in order to prepare this formula, and there was a later incident where someone asked He Fu to sell pearls. ”

After hearing He Kui's speech, the saint smiled dumbly and said: "Good strategy, good calculation"

He Kui asked with a puzzled expression: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, forgive me for being stupid, what a good plan, a good calculation!" Why don't I understand what you mean? ”

The saint looked at He Kui in front of her and shook her head slightly and said, "Hey, I really don't know how you earned this family business, you are so stupid, let me ask you, did you already have this family business four years ago?" ”

He Kui nodded blankly and said, "It's basically the same!" ”

The saint continued: "Did you spend two taels of silver on the relationship between you and the trust? ”

He Kui shook his head and said, "It hasn't been spent."

The saint continued: "Then the first question comes, why should others help you if you have not spent two taels of silver?" Just because you're an outsider, trying to please you? But isn't the ultimate goal of pleasing you just for money? Now I have done you such a big favor and I haven't taken a penny, do you say it's to please you? ”

He Kui suddenly realized and said: "Obviously not"

The saint continued: "Since it is not to please you, why did I help you, and according to you, this cousin of yours actually talked to the prisoners to take care of them, and everyone knows that the cell is the most powerful place. How can such a person be tolerated by his peers and promoted to a headhunter. Do you think there is a secret to this? ”

He Kui looked at the Holy Maiden with a pale face and muttered, "Such a person will never be reused, this is obviously another problem!" ”

The holy woman nodded and smiled and said: "Finally, I understand a little, I will ask you again, have you ever seen a death row prisoner who is about to be beheaded in a little more than a month and is detained across continents, and it is the farthest Youzhou from Qingzhou." Is there a precedent? ”

When He Kui heard this, he felt as if he was holding a big stone in his chest, and he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth to speak, so he could only look at the saint blankly.

Seeing He Kui like this, the holy woman just smiled slightly and said: "And things are so coincidental, not long after I was detained, I was terminally ill, and I happened to meet a kind-hearted, loyal and honest cell boss, who knew this cell boss in the past and would definitely help, and this is exactly the case, in the end, whether it was the doctor's wonderful hand rejuvenation or God's mercy, in short, it cured this dying man, and the death row prisoner was about to die, and the only way to give his treasure to this person." So what to do with the cell boss of the treasure he obtained, he has no long things, but he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, so he transferred the treasure he just obtained to the noble man who helped him get a good job!! Do you understand what I say? ”

At this time, He Kui was already paralyzed on the ground, his face was pale, and he looked at the holy woman in front of him and asked in a trembling voice: "It turns out that all this is a bureau, and it has been a bureau from the beginning, but the subordinates don't understand who set up this bureau?" Why is this bureau set up? And is this prescription really the legendary one that can prolong life and immortality if taken it? ”

The holy woman took a long breath and said: "There is only one person who can control all this, and that is your prefect Liu Nantian, and only he can arrange all this so cleverly, because the entire government is his person, and he makes whoever has an errand have an errand, and only he can make your cousin the head of the cell against the public." Only he can turn a blind eye and let your cousin take Lang Zhong to the cell to treat the death row prisoner, and only he knows that the prescription is in your hand, and knows that you need pearls, so he can send his subordinates to disguise themselves as fishermen fleeing in the South China Sea to sell you pearls. It's all because he wants you to develop a prescription if you want to. ”

The holy woman glanced at He Kui on the limp ground and continued: "I said that until now, do you still not understand, why didn't this prefect take the recipe to develop it privately? ”

He Kui was staring at a pair of bloodshot eyes at this time, and said through gritted teeth: "I originally thought I was favored by the heavens, but I didn't expect it to be a chess piece on someone else's chessboard. If I hadn't been blinded by this sudden joy, maybe I wouldn't be the way I am now, thinking that when I first knew that the prescription was a holy medicine that could prolong life, I couldn't sleep for several nights when I was so excited, now that I think about it, it feels ridiculous, this is really a blind eye. The most hateful thing is that this Liu Nantian actually played with me so much in applause, I can't wait to drink his blood and sleep his skin! It's just that my subordinates can't understand the sin I haven't committed against this Liu Nantian, why is he so scheming? Can't you refine it yourself in private? ”

The holy woman sneered and said gloomily: "Liu Nantian regards you as a chess piece, nothing more than taking a fancy to your financial resources, you also said that the herbs on the prescription, just one is priceless, not to mention the number of flavors, if it is not a person with thousands of family fortunes who can refine it successfully?" So Liu Nantian can explain it with a word of money when he finds you. As for what you said Liu Nantian was thinking about, and why? Because this prescription should not have been his, and it must not have appeared in his hands. If someone wants to find this prescription in his hands, the first person to turn his face is Yichun Hall here! ”

He Kui stared at the bloodshot eyes and looked at the holy woman suspiciously, and asked puzzledly: "Why are you involved in Yichun Hall, what does it matter to them?" ”

The saint smiled and said, "That's because this recipe should have appeared in Yichun Hall!" ”
