Chapter 123: The Only Trustworthy Man

It's just that Wuchen and Xie Chongning are like Zhang Wei is nothing, and no one answered her words.

"Mrs. Xie is very wise and can take on this responsibility." Wuchen said indifferently.

Zhang Wei, who didn't get an answer, was a little unwilling, and smiled contemptuously, "Master Wuchen said so firmly, could it be that he has seen it?" ”

Regarding Zhang Wei's disdain, Wuchen pursed his lips and said slowly and elegantly, "It's not that what you see is wisdom." ”

His face was covered with heavy gauze, which covered the smile on the corner of Xie Chongning's mouth, "Master Wuchen is right, these medicinal materials were purchased by Madame." ”

Wuchen nodded, "Presumably, the missing medicinal materials, Madame will be able to send someone to transport them later." ”

The major pharmacies in the capital tried their best to keep a low profile and sold all the medicinal materials to the Xie Mansion, but Bai Shitang was not a fool, and soon heard such news, but at this time, it was too late for them to come forward to stop it, and in desperation, Shopkeeper Sun could only report the matter.

"Master, this Mrs. Xie threatened them and others under the banner of the emperor, and they were greedy for life and afraid of death, not only relieved their mouths and lowered the price, but also sold the medicinal materials to the Xie Mansion at a lower price than the original price." Shopkeeper Sun stood tremblingly in front of Sun Xiaoquan.

Sun Xiaoquan touched his goatee and sneered twice, "This Mrs. Xie is a little interesting, she has a seven-trick heart at a young age!" ”

Shopkeeper Sun clenched his fists, "Master, this Xie Mansion has already been bought for CIA, what should we do?" Could it be that we really want to watch Xie Chongning seek to cure the epidemic? ”

"Of course it can't be that simple." Sun Xiaoquan is much calmer, even if this smart Mrs. Xie buys medicinal materials, as long as it can't be transported to the south, this Xie Chongning is a clever woman after all, "No matter how powerful this Mrs. Xie is, hasn't this medicinal material been transported yet?" As long as Xie Chongning can't receive this batch of medicinal materials, their efforts will be in vain after all. ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Shopkeeper Sun attached himself to Sun Xiaoquan's ear, muttering a few words of discussion in a whisper, and finally a sly smile appeared on the faces of both of them.

In the Xie Mansion, Mu Yu sat at the desk, with a straight face, and fell into deep thought.

"Miss, we have already bought this medicinal herb, why are you still unhappy?" Biyue was puzzled.

Mu Yu touched his chin in confusion, "You said that the price of this medicine was raised by Baishitang, but I always feel that this Baishitang is boring, and his intention is not simply to make money." ”

"Why did Miss say that?"

"I sent someone to inquire about the price of Baishitang's drugs now, and they have not dropped."

Biyue smiled and explained, "Miss, you forgot, this Baishitang has a background, didn't the shopkeepers of those pharmacies say it before?" The people behind this Baishitang are doing things in the court. ”

"It's because of this Baishitang person who works in the court that I feel suspicious." Mu Yu called Xie An with a solemn face, "Xie An, do you know who is running this Baishitang?" Who are they in the court? ”

Xie An shook his head, "When the price of the pharmacy was rising, I also sent someone to check this Baishitang, and I only learned that the shopkeeper of this Baishitang was surnamed Sun, and I didn't find out who the person behind him was." ”

"Then you send someone to check carefully, I always feel that Baishitang's joint price increase with other pharmacies in the capital this time is not simply to make money." Mu Yu took a deep breath.

"If they control the market to make money, then they have lost the opportunity to make money, but they are still holding on to the price and refusing to let go, which proves that making money should not be their real goal."

"And what is their real purpose?" Biyue asked.

Mu Yan suddenly raised his head, glanced at Xie An vigilantly, and said in unison, "Don't let Xie Fu buy medicinal materials." ”

Yes, if the Xie Mansion can't buy medicinal materials, then Xie Chongning won't be able to supply them, so he won't be able to control the epidemic in the south, and there are people in the court who may be able to do such a thing that hurts others and is not beneficial to himself.

"If the person behind this Baishitang is from the cabinet, then this increase in drug prices is premeditated." Not only that, but what made her even more headache was still to come, "Now that we have bought medicinal materials, if there are really people behind us who don't want things to go our way, then we have to be more concerned about the transportation of medicinal materials." ”

Xie An showed a difficult look, "But now Xie Mansion and Dali Temple are not enough manpower, and two groups of people have been divided before, one group will leave first with Lord Xie, and the latter group will also go to transport medicinal materials." ”

Mu Yu can also know the difficulties, there are not a few people who left after Xie Chongning, and the number of people Xie Chongning can mobilize in Dali Temple is also limited, and they are not able to send more people at all.

"Miss, what if we ask Master Hou for help?" Although Biyue doesn't understand these things, she still knows a little about the fact that her marquis holds the military power in his hands.

Xie An was also full of hope for Biyue's proposal, but it was quickly rejected by Mu Yu coldly, "No." She still remembered what her father said to an unknown man in black that night, and she couldn't take that risk.

The unaware Xie An and the equally innocent Biyue glanced at each other, Biyue shrugged her shoulders and said that she didn't know anything either, but given Mu Yu's firm tone, none of them dared to ask out loud.

However, Biyue's words reminded Mu Yu that although her father was unreliable, she still had a big brother, she believed that the eldest brother was reliable, she quickly got up and walked towards the door, "Let's go, let's go to Dali Temple." ”

When Mu Yi saw her sister, she walked around her several times excitedly, and was relieved to make sure that her sister had not lost weight when she arrived at Xie Mansion, "The people of Xie Mansion didn't treat you badly, right?" ”

"Treat me badly?" Mu Yu pinched the flesh on his face, "Do you think I look like I've been treated badly?" ”

"It's good that they didn't treat you badly." Mu Yi nodded, and said regretfully, "The last time you came back to the door, just in time for me to be on duty, I couldn't see you and talk to you well." ”

"It's okay, now we both have time." Mu Yu pursed his lips, pulled his eldest brother, and walked to Xie Chongning's study, and after letting Biyue stand outside the door to guard, he closed the door of the study.

Mu Yi thought that her sister was just here to chat with her, but when she saw her closing the door, she wondered, "What are you doing when you close the door?" ”

"Naturally, there are some things that can't be heard by others." Mu Yu straightened up and sat opposite his eldest brother, "Big brother, in fact, I came today because I need to ask you for something." ”

Mu Yi's usual laziness disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by an equally serious face, sitting upright, "What's the matter with my sister, but it's okay to say it." ”

Seeing that he looked like he was facing a great enemy, Mu Yu laughed out loud, "Although this matter is very important, it doesn't need to be so serious, I just want to ask the eldest brother to help transport some things to Xie Chongning." ”

Mu Yi was silent for half a minute, "You mean medicinal herbs?" ”

"Big brother knows?" Mu Yu asked rhetorically.

"Of course I know, the epidemic in the south is serious, Xie Chongning hid most of the people in the DPRK and went to the south to treat the epidemic without permission, if you ask me to deliver things to him, I can't think of anything else except medicinal materials."

Mu Yu took a deep breath, "Although he went privately without hiding from most people, but the people in the court, that is not clairvoyant, his whereabouts have long been under the control of those people." ”

Mu Yi nodded, "That's right, so you asked me to help Xie Chongning transport medicinal materials just to avoid the eyes and ears of those people?" ”

Mu Yu nodded, and then shook his head again, "I'm afraid it's not just the ears and eyes." ”

"You mean ......?" Mu Yi was surprised and deliberately lowered his voice, "Then do you know who is going to stop the delivery of this batch of medicines?" ”

"Then I don't know, as far as the current situation is concerned, I'm just guessing, but this kind of thing has always been rather credible than not, after all, medicinal materials are becoming more and more difficult to buy now, if there is a problem with this batch of medicinal materials, and you want to buy the next batch, I don't know when."

Mu Yi naturally knows the seriousness of the matter, now that the emperor is sick in bed, and there is an epidemic in the south, he can only Xie Chongning to resist this heavy burden, if Xie Chongning can stop the epidemic, it will be fine, but once the epidemic becomes more serious and spreads to the capital, then he will not be able to run away from the crime of dereliction of duty.

"Leave this matter to the eldest brother, you can rest assured." He patted his chest and assured Mu Yu, "The medicine is here." ”

"In this capital, the only one I can trust is the eldest brother." Mu Yu sighed and slowly said something she had never told her eldest brother.

"Big brother still remembers that before I got married to Xie Chongning, I went to Hanshan Temple to pray for blessings."

"Naturally, I remember." They searched for people all over the city in such a sensation, and they found the rumor in their own house, although Xie Chongning did not pursue it, but he still felt shameful in his heart, his father was able to use such a bad means in order to prevent the rumor from marrying him, which was really humiliating.

"Actually, my mother asked me to go to Hanshan Temple to pray for blessings, and at first I thought that maybe my mother was kept in the dark by my father, but after I tested my mother a few times, I found that things were not what I wanted to do."

Mu Yu lowered his head and picked up his fingers, "Father has a bad temper recently, I can detect it, can my mother feel nothing as my father's pillow person?" It's just that she didn't tell me anything, and no matter how I asked, she wouldn't tell me half a point. ”

"And the most terrifying thing is that one night, I saw my father see a man in black in the courtyard, and ordered him to do something, although I didn't hear what he did, but I knew that he was prepared to be unfavorable to Xie Chongning."

Mu Yi frowned, "When did this happen?" Why didn't you tell me? ”

"The relationship between the eldest brother and his father has always been stiff, I don't want the eldest brother to have more misunderstandings with my father, but now that I have also left the Luanping Marquis Mansion, I think the eldest brother should know some of these things."

Seeing Mu Yi's solemn face, she couldn't help but persuade, "Big brother, do you know what my father did?" Shall I try to persuade him? ”
