Chapter 134 Conditions of Transaction
Yin Li took the so-called nine-turn spirit sand given by Mingyue, poured out one and saw what it was? Yin Li faintly remembered that the ancient alchemists were all chemical experts, and poured out a so-called nine-turn spirit sand, and Yin Li immediately thought that this was a deadly elixir.
Its ingredients are even more worrying, lead cream is easily soluble in water, sweet (toxic!) ), the Nine Turns Spirit Sand is cool to the touch, and Yuan Tiangang also refines chemical pills, isn't this a matter of human life? You should also be rational in pursuing the way of heaven, right?
This kind of thing has been around since the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, when Qin Shi Huang specially sent Xu Fu to the overseas fairy island to obtain the pill in order to live long, and since then the pill has been very popular in the circle of the royal family and nobles of each dynasty.
These pills are eaten by people, not only can not play the effect of strengthening the body and making people live longer, but also cause great harm to people's bodies, especially in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, when people's pursuit of pills has reached a point of madness, and even the pills are regarded as daily health products.
What to take pills to nourish the spirit, calm the soul, invigorate qi and brighten the eyes, kill the essence and evil ghosts, take the gods for a long time, and so on, all of them are stupid things, and taking these pills without dying is considered to have accumulated yin virtue on the ancestors.
The current Tang Dynasty seems to be the same, look at the sequelae of Li Tai's pill poisoning, the better ones are crazy and hallucinogenic and screaming, and the weaker ones are already foaming at the mouth and pouring on the wine case, and after waking up, they continue to take drugs without repentance, what is the difference between this thing and self-harm?
Although Yin Li does not know much about history, he still understands some alchemy, and from the ancient chemical Dan refining methods, there are no more than three kinds of "rising", "descending" and "burning"; From the perspective of the composition of the pill, the most important ones are basically three types: mercury sulfide, mercury oxide, and mercuric chloride.
"Yin County man?!"
Li Tai, who was rubbing oil, was very surprised when he saw Yin Li in the courtyard, and at the same time pushed away the maid beside him, and enthusiastically stepped forward to greet Yin Li, who was so polite to greet a person, which literati and scholars who were addicted to drugs quieted down one after another, and looked at Yin Li with very hostile eyes.
Suddenly, he provoked so many hateful eyes, Yin Li was speechless and depressed, who did he provoke? Li Tai warmly stepped forward to entertain, and Yin Li had to return the salute with his fists, as for which literati and scholars directly ignored it.
Li Tai was enthusiastic and pulled Yin Li and said, "Yin County man, what kind of wind blew you here?" Come on, sit in ......"
Yin Li declined Li Tai's kindness, and euphemistically said his intentions: "His Royal Highness King Wei, I am helping Yuan Daochang's disciple deliver medicine." ”
Li Tai was a little surprised and said, "Oh? The man in Yin County also knows Yuan Daochang? ”
Yin Li smiled and nodded, handed over the nine-turn spirit sand that Mingyue had changed hands to Li Tai, and saw that Li Tai accepted the nine-turn spirit sand with a happy face, as if he had obtained a treasure, he shook his head and was speechless.
If Li Tai knew that these chemical pills were deadly, I am afraid he would not think like this, of course, this is impossible, even if he told him that these pills were deadly, Li Tai might not believe his own words.
Yin Li saw that the eyes of those literati and scholars were becoming more and more unkind, so he clasped his fists to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and hatred and said, "His Royal Highness King Wei, if it is convenient, can you find a quiet place to chat?" ”
Li Tai also seemed to realize something, nodded his head and said, "Well, please in the hall." ”
Li Tai also realized that he had made some mistakes, so that the unfriendly eyes of those literati and scholars were all targeted and fierce, and Li Tai, who had returned to his senses, invited Yin Li into the hall to avoid the unfriendly malice of the literati.
Those literati and scholars are not friendly, Yin Li doesn't care at all, let alone rest assured, and they don't have anything to do with them, but they have always been hated and looked at very unaccustomed.
Entering the palace hall, Li Tai called people to serve tea and entertainment, Yin Li came to the Wei palace for the first time, Li Tai naturally would not slack off Yin Li, not to mention that Li Tai's impression of Yin Li was still pertinent.
After the maid of the palace came up with tea, Yin Li did not politely say straight to the point: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, I won't go around in circles, I came here to help His Royal Highness the King of Wei this time." ”
Li Tai was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Oh? Yin County male, what's the matter, but it doesn't hurt. ”
Yin Li asked Li Tai tentatively: "His Royal Highness King Wei is still the Siqing of Dali Temple now, right?" ”
Li Tai picked up the teacup and simply admitted: "Yes, this king is still in charge of the position of the temple secretary of Dali Temple, Yin County man, why do you ask so?" ”
This is not a secret, Li Tai is in charge of the position of the temple secretary of Dali Temple, although he is only on temporary duty, but in Dali Temple, in addition to the current emperor, he alone has the final say.
Yin Li suddenly asked, Li Tai felt very surprised, vaguely guessed something, without 100% confirmation, Li Tai was very calm, quietly waiting for Yin Li's next thing?
Yin Li stiffened his head and said: "I'm not afraid of His Royal Highness the King of Wei's jokes, I have a relative who made a mistake for a while, and he was caught smuggling official salt a few days ago, and now he is imprisoned in Dali Temple, and I hope His Royal Highness the King of Wei will be grac......ious in private."
Li Tai was a little embarrassed when he heard this, interrupted Yin Li's words and said: "Smuggling official salt is a capital crime, Yin County male, you should know this very well, right?" ”
Yin Li was not discouraged, he knew the darkness of officialdom, and said frankly: "His Royal Highness King Wei, is there a workaround?" ”
Li Tai hesitated for a while and said with a smile: "Of course there is a workaround, it depends on whether the Yin County man is willing to pay something?" ”
Yin Li frowned and said, "His Royal Highness King Wei said that if it is within my ability, I will definitely go all out." ”
It's best to be able to complete Jia Xishi's task, but if Li Tai's request is a bit excessive, Yin Li will definitely keep his bottom limit and refuse, the money is good, but the bottom limit is gone, so what's the point?
Li Tai directly dropped the conditions and said: "There is a shortage of people in this Wang Literature Museum......"
Without waiting for Li Tai to finish speaking, Yin Li interrupted Li Tai's words: "His Royal Highness King Wei, if there are no good trading conditions, then I will leave first." ”
Li Tai didn't expect Yin Li to resist so much, thinking that Yin Li had talent and self-conceit, he was unwilling to send people under the fence, and he didn't want to force Yin Li to retreat too quickly and said: "Okay, I have heard that the Yin County man knows astronomy and geography, if the Yin County man can help the king complete the Chronicles, this king can help the Yin County man." ”
A dealer who smuggles official salt, as long as he is detained in Dali Temple, Li Tai can still be easily released, just find a substitute for the dead ghost to replace the crime, and there are a lot of unjust, false and wrongful cases in prison, not worse than one or two.
Yin Li hesitated for a while, then said with a cheeky face: "Then can I visit my relatives in prison?" Make a decision again? ”
Li Tai took out his waist very generously and said, "This king is waiting for your reply." ”
Yin Li looked at the Dali Temple Qing waist order thrown out by Li Tai, but he didn't expect Li Tai to be so refreshing, he directly took out his waist order to visit himself in prison, and Yin Li, who hesitated for a while, finally picked up the waist order and hugged his fists and left.
