Chapter 255 Where are these two herbs?
Xiangyang put down his abacus and said carefully, "Your Highness, this medicine is so expensive, the folk girl ......."
"What, do you want to ask for three pairs of medicines?" Murong Yao saw her thoughts at a glance, glanced at her, and said deliberately, "You have been with this king for a while, and you don't even have three taels of silver for private money?" Although he doesn't reward others very much, Xiangyang does things for him and does his best, so he has rewarded her a few times, so it shouldn't be that he can't get three taels of silver, right?"
Xiangyang was taken aback, thinking that he was warning her not to be too greedy, so she hurriedly laughed and said, "Your Highness made fun of it, the folk girl has a few taels of silver for her private money, and if the folk girl is unfortunately infected with the plague, please have pity on the poor folk girl." ”
Murong Yao was in a good mood, took her over, and kissed her fiercely, "Beauty, don't worry, as long as you are loyal to this king, this king will never treat you badly!
Xiangyang had a flattering smile on her face, but she scolded secretly, and felt even more sad, she was actually not as good as a person who asked for food, people would eat a bite if they wanted, but she was afraid all day long, waiting for Murong Yao, maybe when he would be beaten and scolded, is this the life of a human being?
At this moment, the sound of footsteps sounded, and a burly middle-aged man hurriedly entered, sweating profusely and said, "Your Highness, the situation is not good!" His beard, eyes are particularly large, hooked nose, and obviously exotic appearance is none other than the strange doctor Babu. Only then did Murong Yao send him out to search for sunflower leaves from all the pharmacies in the capital and the surrounding areas, and to buy all the garlic. The prescription was made by him, and of course he knew that these two herbs would soon become rare, and the prescription was so simple that if others were allowed to take the lead, they would not be able to make any profit.
"What's wrong?" Murong Yao knew that the situation was not good as soon as he saw his expression, so he pushed Xiangyang away and said nervously, "What's wrong?" Could it be that Nan Xueyu has already come up with a prescription to cure the plague first?
Babu wiped a cold sweat, and the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't understand, "Aoi leaves...... No garlic, all the same......"
Murong Yao was confused, "What? You can make it clear!" This guy is from a foreign land, and his Chinese is not very fluent in the first place, and in this hurry, he listens more and more to the curl of his tongue, and what nonsense he says!
Xiangyang was on the side, but he understood it, and his face changed greatly, "Your Highness, does Babu mean that you can't buy sunflower leaves and garlic?"
"What!" Murong Yao was taken aback, stood up suddenly, knocked over the teapot, and the tea flowed all over him, he didn't care, "Can't buy it? What's the matter!"
"No, I don't know," Babu finally breathed a sigh of relief and explained hurriedly, "I, I went to many pharmacies, but I couldn't buy them, and everyone else said that all the pharmacies in the capital didn't sell sunflower leaves, and so did garlic, and all the vegetable farmers didn't have garlic, and I went to several vegetable gardens, but I didn't even have seedlings!"
Murong Yao's face was pale, and he faintly felt that something was wrong, if one or two pharmacies didn't sell sunflower leaves, and they were normally out of stock, but all pharmacies didn't, it wouldn't be normal, and this garlic was too, it was usually not a rare thing, and during the harvest season, it was thrown on the side of the road and not picked up, how could it be that it was not sold at once?
The only explanation for this was that someone had bought all these two herbs in advance, but why was this? Could it be that this man knew in advance that the refugees would get this plague and would use these two herbs, so he preemptively started it? But this is too unbelievable, who can not predict the prophet, even this can be predicted? This is simply too weird, no matter how you think about it!
Xiangyang was also surprised and shocked, "Could it be that someone came up with a prescription first?" Could it be Nan Xueyu?" His Royal Highness had already said that he had made a bet with Nan Xueyu, otherwise he would not have been in a hurry to send Babu out to search for medicinal materials, but in the end it was still a step too late, if someone was faster than His Highness, it could only be Nan Xueyu!
"Yes, why did this king forget her!" Murong Yao's eyes lit up, and then he gritted his teeth, "This damn slut, you know that you are against this king!" "It must have been her who came up with a prescription and let people buy all the sunflower leaves and garlic so that he could lose this bet and earn him another 100,000 silver, it's too hateful!"
"Your Highness, I don't think it's that simple!" Babu reminded, "Even if Nan Xueyu came up with a prescription and sent someone to buy these two herbs, but it was only less than a day, how could she buy all the herbs! ”
Renji Pharmacy? Murong Yao was stunned, wasn't it Nan Xueyu's doing? "Which Renji Pharmacy?" Speaking of which, this Renji Pharmacy is just a small family, and it usually treats and takes medicine for ordinary people, which is not conspicuous at all, and it is not surprising that he doesn't know.
"There was a very small pharmacy in the middle of the capital," Babu explained, "and during that time, Renji Pharmacy bought a large number of sunflower leaves, and the price was several times higher than usual, so the people rushed to the nearby mountains to pick them, and now it is even more difficult to find a sunflower leaf than to climb to the sky! ”
Damn! Murong Yao wanted to kill people angrily, "Then go to Renji Medicine Village and get all these two flavored medicines back to this king!" "His plan must not be destroyed, this silver tael can only go into his pocket! Also, if he can't get the medicine, and let Nan Xueyu take the lead, it means that he loses, and he has to take out 100,000 taels of silver to help the refugees, isn't this his life?"
Babu said embarrassedly, "I have been to Renji Pharmacy, but the young owner said that some time ago they did buy a large number of sunflower leaves and garlic, but they were entrusted by others, and now the buyer has taken all the medicinal materials away, and also showed me the agreement and payment voucher." ”
"What! How can this be reasonable!" Murong Yao was about to go crazy, how could things be so coincidental, how could it sound like someone was planning to make this fortune, so he made all the preparations in advance! But how is this possible, who is so capable, so early predicted this plague and the solution, and bought all the sunflower leaves and garlic first, this is too unbelievable! "Who is it, who is it!" Who is behind the scenes, you must find out who is behind this!
"I also asked," Babu was very helpless, "The young master Zhuang said that the person's name is Mo Wen, it seems that he is not from the capital, and as for his identity and background, he doesn't know anything. ”
Murong Yao tilted his nose angrily, this is a fake name, don't ask, don't ask, just don't ask, where the is this to check!" "Damn, damn!"
Xiangyang is also secretly anxious, she can't buy medicine, so what if she gets sick, what can she do?" She rolled her eyes and said tentatively, "Your Highness, the folk girl thinks that the young owner of Renji Medicine Village may not be telling the truth, why don't you bring him here and ask him?"
"Exactly!" reminded Murong Yao, and he said calmly, "Come on, go to Renji Pharmacy, bring people back to this king, and ask carefully!"
"Yes!" the guard commanded, and galloped away.
Babu frowned and said, "Your Highness, what should I do now?" He felt that the young owner of the Renji Medicine Village was not lying, otherwise what good would it be for him and the medicine village, if he couldn't buy medicinal herbs, his prescription would be useless, and he would not be able to make meritorious contributions in front of His Highness, what good would he have at all.
"Ask clearly first," Murong Yao was not manic, "There are no medicinal materials, everything is empty talk, what else can I do!"
Xiangyang reminded, "Your Highness, do you think this matter will have something to do with Nan Xueyu?" Even if she only made a bet with His Highness today, ...
But if someone can buy all the sunflower leaves and garlic first, it can only be Nan Xueyu, although she can't figure out why Nan Xueyu can predict this plague.
Murong Yao looked angry, eager to kill, "Ten ** is her ghost, this king will never let her succeed!" "She must be making a hindrance from it, so as to force him to admit defeat! No, he has to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to probe Nan Xueyu's tone to see if she knows who this "Mo Wen" is and where those medicinal materials have gone, otherwise he will be too passive!
,,
In the Warm Fragrance Pavilion of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mo Rongying was called by Nan Xueyu alone, and when he said this, he suddenly slapped the table, "Okay, Xue Yu, it turns out that you let you buy the sunflower leaves and garlic of Renji Pharmacy at that time, and it will come in handy at this time!" He said, Xue Yu asked him to buy these two extremely ordinary medicinal materials in the name of "Mo Wen", which must be of great use, but there has been no movement for such a long time, so that he thought that these two herbs were going to rot in the warehouse, and it turned out to be waiting to save the lives of so many people.
"Exactly," Nan Xueyu smiled, "Don't hide it from my eldest brother, in fact, I already have a prescription, but I can't be sure if I can cure the refugee's disease, so I found someone to try the medicine in the past two days, of course, to cure the plague, and only these two medicines, but also with others, but big brother rest assured, I will definitely be able to cure this plague." ”
"That's great!" Mo Rongying was so excited, "This time I can win Murong Yao's eight lambs! 100,000 taels are in hand again, hahaha!" "Even if Murong Yao has a prescription, he will never be able to get these two medicinal herbs, he will lose, haha!"
"Exactly," Nan Xueyu smiled wisely, "he must be in a hurry and can't think of anything now, so let him wonder." This is the only way she has dealt with it after she has experienced the previous life, no matter how smart Ren Murong Yao is, he is definitely not her opponent.
Mo Rongying suddenly smiled, looking at Nan Xueyu's gaze with a little more inquiry, "Xueyu, you already knew that there would be this plague?"
