Chapter 0056 - Turning the Sky Upside Down?
"Impossible!"
Kou Zhun let go of the hand that grabbed Kou Ji, shook his head, and staggered back a few steps.
His old face was filled with disbelief.
Alchemy is a secret that Taoism does not pass on, and even if it is in the Taoist sect, only a small number of people with high status are qualified to cultivate.
Kou Ji, a young man who came out of Huazhou Township, actually threatened that he knew alchemy?
How could Kou Zhun believe it.
Kou Zhun took a few steps back, sat down on the chair, was silent for a long time, and suddenly raised his head and questioned Kou Ji with a look in his eyes.
"Are you coaxing the old man?"
Kou Ji was really angry when he saw Kou Zhun.
He knew that if he didn't show some real skills, Kou Zhun might not spare him.
Kou Ji sighed: "Did I lie to you, just try it." It's not hard to refine. ”
Hearing this, Kou Zhun squinted, clenched his fists, and said coldly: "Then the old man will give you a chance to try." If you can refine the elixir, if you can't refine it, don't blame the old man for killing his relatives in righteousness. ”
Kou Ji arched his hand and said, "I need the government to help me prepare something." ”
Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji, unable to take his eyes off it, he patted the table and said darkly: "Kou Zhong......"
"The old slave is here."
Kou Zhong stepped forward quickly and agreed.
Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji, and said without blinking: "Whatever he wants, you will prepare for him." If you don't have one in the house, go outside and look for it. If you can't find it outside, go to Li Di, Wang Shu, Yang Yi, Yang Chongxun and others to find it.
When necessary, the old man can also go into the palace to ask for the official's house and rummage through the treasury. ”
When Kou Ji heard this, he smiled dryly: "There's no need to be so troublesome, except for a few things, the rest of the things can be found on the market." ”
Kou Zhun got up slowly, stared at Kou Ji and said word by word: "The old man is waiting for your elixir!" ”
Kou Ji nodded, arched his hand, and left the main hall.
Kou Zhong also arched his hand and left the main hall.
There was only Kou Zhun left in the main hall, and he didn't know what he was thinking with deep eyes.
Kou Ji walked out of the main hall and returned to the Four Monarchs Garden.
He found the study, took a blank piece of paper, made a list, and handed it to Kou Zhong, who was following him.
Kou Zhong took the list, glanced around, and said in astonishment: "That's it......"
"Hmm!"
"But...... This and this ......"
Kou Zhong took the list and stuttered for a long time, stunned that he didn't say a complete sentence.
Kou Zhong originally thought that refining the elixir would require a large number of precious medicinal materials.
But after seeing the list given by Kou Ji, it was a little unbelievable.
There are only a few dozen kinds of medicinal herbs on it, and it is still the most common one on the market.
Other than that, the rest is all things like cinnabar, lead, mica, etc.
As Kou Ji said, there are indeed only a few things on it, which are very rare in the market.
But it's not among the rare treasures.
Seeing Kou Zhong's face in disbelief, Kou Ji asked, "Something?" ”
Kou Zhong hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head.
Then he went down to prepare what Koji needed.
Kou Zhong mobilized all the family members, guards, servants, and maids in the mansion to help Kou Ji prepare what he needed.
It didn't stop after nightfall.
Carrying lanterns and holding Kou Fu's waist tags, they went door to door to the pharmacy on the street, looking for what Kou Ji needed.
even went to the houses of Li Di, Wang Shu and others overnight to look for things.
The people of Kou Mansion made such a big commotion that they even did not hesitate to break the curfew.
Naturally, it attracted the attention of those who had a heart.
After they sent someone to investigate, they learned that the people in Kou Mansion were looking for medicinal herbs, so they lost interest in this matter.
They felt that it was probably because Kou Zhun was old and suddenly fell ill and urgently needed medicinal materials to treat the disease, so he made such a big disturbance in Bianjing City.
There were mixed reactions to the possibility that Kou Zhun might suddenly become ill, but no one stepped forward to stop the servants of the Kou Mansion from breaking the curfew.
Some officials in charge of the street patrol forbidden army and the inspection department even enthusiastically came forward to help.
In the second half of the night, everyone saw that the people in the Kou Mansion still did not stop, and finally some people couldn't sit still.
Wang Shu took the lead in a sedan chair to Koufu, and also took his wife and children.
Immediately afterwards, Li Di, Wang Zeng, Yang Yi, Yang Chongxun and others also arrived at Kou Mansion in a sedan chair.
As soon as these people arrived at the gate of the Kou Mansion, before they entered, they saw Zhou Huaizheng, who had a blue nose and swollen face, with a few eunuchs, taking small steps, and hurried to the gate of the Kou Mansion.
"The official family heard in the palace that the servants of the Kou Mansion were running through the night, running between the various pharmacies, and he was a little worried about the safety of Kou Xianggong, so he sent our family over to take a look.
What happened to Kou Xianggong? ”
After Zhou Huaizheng arrived, he arched his hand slightly and asked.
Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Shu.
Wang Shu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't gone in yet......"
Li Di said with a solemn face: "Let's go in together." ”
Everyone nodded, and stepped into the Kou Mansion.
On the way to the main hall of Koufu.
Li Di frowned and asked Zhou Huaizheng, "What's the matter with the injury on your face?" ”
When Zhou Huaizheng heard this, he said with an ugly face: "Ding Xianggong beat ......"
Li Di's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said unhappily: "You are a close eunuch of the official family, even if you commit a crime, you have to be beaten and punished, then the official family has the final say, what qualifications does Ding Wei have?" ”
Zhou Huaizheng lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
When he raised his head, there was a pitiful look on his face, "Our family is just a eunuch and a slave." The status in the hearts of the official family is naturally inferior to Ding Xianggong......
It's also to blame our family for not serving the official family well, and the official family who harmed him drank the tiger and wolf medicine, which almost made a big mistake.
Ding Xianggong taught our family a lesson, and it should be. ”
Li Di said angrily: "Then it won't be his turn to punish you." Ding Wei relied on the favor of the official family, and was too arrogant and domineering. ”
Zhou Huaizheng bowed, "Thank you Li Xianggong for saying a fair word for our family, but don't go out to say this." Ding Xianggong heard it, I'm afraid I'm going to embarrass our family again. ”
Li Di was even more annoyed, "Can he still cover the sky with one hand?" ”
Zhou Huaizheng opened his mouth, but did not speak.
Everyone arrived at the gate of the main hall of Koufu.
I looked inside and was stunned.
In the main hall.
Under a lone candle, Kou Zhun sat alone, his thin body covered by a wide robe.
Long hair was scattered over his shoulders, an old face was bright and dark in the candlelight, and two flames burned in bloodshot eyes.
"Daddy?!"
"Father-in-law?"
"Kou Xianggong?"
"Brother Kou?"
“……”
Everyone shouted with dull eyes.
Kou Zhun ignored it, and just sighed faintly.
"It's going to turn the sky upside down......"
Everyone outside the door looked at each other.
Except for Kou Zhun's daughter Wang Kou, Kou Zhun's grandson Wang Yuan, everyone else's faces changed.
Zhou Huaizheng's mouth trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Someone...... Want to rebel? ”
