Chapter 326: Clues
Chen Bai read the contents of the note and showed a puzzled expression.
The theft of herbs from the Chengnan Medicine House is obviously handled by Prime Minister Peng Cheng, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that although he is also involved in the investigation of the case, he is just a person who has learned from Peng Chengxiang's experience, how could anyone send him the clues of the case?
He accepted the note and said to Xu Weijun: "The princess will go back first, I still have some things to deal with urgently!"
With that, he left.
Xu Weijun saluted him and watched him leave, very worried in his heart!
She didn't mean to see the content of the note, but when the note floated out, she still subconsciously glanced at it, although she didn't see all the content on it, but she clearly saw the two words "Jun's".
She knew that Chen Bai was investigating the case of the theft of herbs from the Chengnan Medicine House, and this letter should be the clue about the case.
Jun's ......
Is there any more famous Jun in this upper city than Jun's pharmacy?
Could it be that the theft of herbs from the Chengnan Medicine House was done by Jun's Pharmacy?
Xu Weijun thinks there is a possibility!
Jun's pharmacy is not like her Baiwei shop, there are many dignitaries and nobles related to the Chen Wangfu and the Xu family to take care of business, Jun's pharmacy has no background in Shangcheng, no power, and the boss is a weak woman with children, but it is such a Jun's pharmacy that has made a name for itself in Shangcheng.
At first, she relied on two ointments that had never been seen in Shangcheng, Traceless and Snow, to win the favor of the Shangchengers.
She has also used these two things, and they are indeed rare and good things, but she sells them at a civilian price, which naturally won the love of many women in Shangcheng.
But her customers are mainly women, and the things are cheap, and they don't seem to be good enough for the climate, but she uses the means of her own pharmacy to introduce the magnates of the upper city into the store little by little.
Her approach is that no matter how rare herbs her guests need, she can get them in the agreed number of days.
Even if the regular customers of Baiwei Shop will buy some ordinary medicinal herbs at Baiwei Shop, when they encounter hard-to-find medicinal herbs, they will secretly send someone to Jun's Pharmacy to buy them.
Whether to sell or not, and when to trade, are all decided by Jun's Pharmacy.
This is a magical power, in Jun's Pharmacy, it is no longer the pharmacy to maintain the customers to solicit business, but the customers are careful to laugh and spend a lot of money, just to get the medicinal materials they need!
At this point, although Jun's Pharmacy is powerless and powerless on the surface, more and more people believe that in secret, there is a powerful force behind Jun's Pharmacy!
Although Xu Weijun didn't know what reason Jun's pharmacy had for stealing Yanchuncao, she knew that Yanchun grass was a herb cultivated by Wan Lao himself, and only the medicine house had this kind of herb, not Jun's drugstore.
Yanchun is a herb specially cultivated for the queen, it has the effect of delaying aging and consolidating the appearance, many people are greedy, if someone spends a lot of money in Jun's pharmacy to ask for a plant of jayenella, Jun's pharmacy may still do something to steal Yanchun!
……
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Peng Danling and Wensheng drank tea leisurely in the front hall.
Seeing that Peng Danling was in a good mood, Wen Sheng looked at him and smiled: "Uncle has been frowning for the past few days, but his mood is getting better today, presumably my uncle already has clues about the theft of the medicine house?"
Peng Danling looked at him and smiled: "Yes, you can see the effect in a while!" Here it comes! ”
Wen Sheng followed his gaze and saw a subordinate walking in quickly.
"Meet the master, young nephew!"
Wen Sheng moved his gaze from the subordinate to Peng Danling's face, revealing puzzlement.
Wensheng was compiled by the emperor, and he should not be in the house until Mu Xiu's day, but in this investigation, Peng Danling asked the emperor to allow Wensheng to return to the house on the grounds that things in the house were complicated and needed to be cooked.
Wen Sheng thought that Peng Danling was just teaching him experience, but Peng Danling was just still thinking about Chen Fansheng's life experience, and he was relieved to put Wen Sheng in front of his eyes.
Of course, if Wensheng can be used by him, he will still give advice!
"Has the letter been delivered to King Chen's Mansion?" Peng Danling made a gesture towards him, motioned for his subordinates to get up, and asked with determination.
"It's been delivered!" The subordinate bowed his head and replied respectfully.
"Good!" Peng Danling smiled smugly and cast a meaningful glance at Wen Sheng.
Wen Sheng knew that this letter must have a lot of articles, so he asked, "Uncle, what letter did you send to Chenwangfu?"
Peng Danling said lightly: "The people I sent out have found clues about the theft, and all the evidence points to Jun's pharmacy, so I sent someone to send a letter to inform the prince of Chenwangfu."
"Why did Uncle do this?" Wen Sheng asked puzzledly, "The clue was obviously found by my uncle, but my uncle gave the credit to the prince of King Chen's mansion for nothing, is my uncle trying to sell King Chen a face?"
Peng Danling became excited when she saw Wensheng, and she was even more calm.
"Listen well, I'm not trying to sell the face of King Chen, I'm selling the face of the emperor. Giving the credit to the prince of Chenwangfu also means giving the risk of this matter to the prince of Chenwangfu!"
The more Wen Sheng listened, the more confused he became.
Peng Danling smiled proudly, "Although I have already found the head of Jun's pharmacy, I have no actual evidence. Moreover, when I checked Jun's Pharmacy, I found that Jun's Pharmacy is not just a small pharmacy, there seems to be a powerful force behind her, because I don't know the details of this force, this force makes me can't rush to search Jun's Pharmacy. ”
Wen Sheng seemed to understand a little, and a surprised smile appeared on his face, "So my uncle asked the prince of Chenwangfu to search for it?"
"I didn't mean to hurt him!" Peng Danling raised his hands to emphasize his position, "The Chenwang Mansion is protected by the emperor and the Chenwang Wangfu, even if the prince of the Chenwang Mansion is reckless and annoys the forces behind the Jun's pharmacy, I can't do anything with him, the organizer of this case is me, overall, I can't let it go too wrong!"
That's a great trick!
Wen Sheng couldn't help but think in his heart, in this way, if he could find evidence in Jun's pharmacy, this case would be solved, and if no evidence was found, his uncle could also clear up the relationship, and there would be no hindrance to him!
"However, if the prince of Chenwangfu really found evidence in Jun's pharmacy, then wasn't the uncle's credit robbed in vain?" Wen Sheng is still a little unwilling, although he doesn't hate the prince of Chenwangfu, but he hates Chenwangfu, and when he thinks that it is the people of Chenwangfu who have taken the fruits of others for nothing, he feels a lot of discomfort in his heart.
Peng Danling nodded and said, "The credit is his, but I also got what I wanted!"
Wen Sheng looked at him and asked, "What does Uncle want?"
Peng Danling looked up at the sky outside and sighed: "As a courtier, what you want is naturally to be appreciated by the emperor." The emperor specially ordered the prince of Chenwangfu to investigate the case with the prime minister, in fact, he was deliberately favoring the prince's mansion, if the prince of the prince's mansion performed well in this case, would it be considered that the prince had fulfilled the emperor's wishes? How could the emperor not remember the goodness of his true appearance?"
