Chapter 038: Searching for a Prescription
Recently, there have been rumors about the healing of fairy water. At first, it was said that a rich family surnamed Liu got some fairy water for tuberculosis out of nowhere, and it would not be useful at home, so he had to go to Xinglintang and invite a doctor to come and help. Who knew that the doctor had bad intentions, and actually stole the medicine and went back to sell it at a high price, and for a time his apricot grove hall was in the market. Although the price of the fairy water was too high to sell, because it attracted many people, it was sold very hot, along with other medicines.
The big pharmacies in the capital were all very jealous, and they all sent people to sneak into Xinglin Hall that night to steal the fairy water, but they all collided at the same time, so everyone fought for me, which was comparable to a martial arts conference. During this time, several people scuffled into a ball, and accidentally fell to the ground together, crushing the glass bottle containing fairy water. "Crackling" There were a few cracking sounds, and everyone suddenly settled down.
After calming down, everyone thought of the prescription. I heard that this medicine was first brought out of the General's Mansion, so it is naturally possible that the prescription was there. But is the General's Mansion a place where ordinary people can enter? So the owners of the pharmacy paid for the appearance of the characters in the rivers and lakes, just to go to the general's mansion to find out the details and steal the recipe.
Who knew that General Han ruled his family with military law, and a Han government actually made him live like a bucket with an iron hoop, not to mention such a big person, he couldn't even fly a fly outside. The guards at the gate of the Han Mansion stood straight and solemn one by one, and when they saw this posture, no one dared to come forward to inquire about anything.
Everyone circled in front of the Han Mansion every day, but they didn't find any news at all. On this day, Ma Dafu, the owner of Rendetang, sat in a tea shop on the street, and poured out his anger in his heart with herbal tea. Recently, the business in the shop has not been good, so I pointed to this fairy water to save the emergency. This general's mansion is that the needle can't be inserted and the water can't be splashed, and Ma Dafu is anxious and angry in his heart. The shopkeeper came up to add water, and saw that Ma Dafu was only staring at the vermilion gate of the Han Mansion opposite, and he was stunned, so he smiled and said, "This master must have come to ask for that recipe?" ”
Ma Dafu came back to his senses, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "So what? Alas! Aren't you still in a hurry? ”
The little second also said: "Yes, these days, the general's mansion is strictly governed, and on weekdays, people in their own mansions can enter and exit, ordinary people - who dares to enter!" A few days ago, the general's son-in-law was quite diligent, and he came at the same hour every day, and he was no longer in sight. Think about it, although he is a son-in-law, he is an outsider after all, so he still has to be on guard. It must be that the general won't let him in! ”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. It is said that General Han's son-in-law is also a person who is the secretary of the Criminal Department, as for visiting the sick in person every day? Besides, although the Han and Lin families are in the same capital, they are in the east of the city and the west of the city, and it takes some time to go back and forth. There must be something strange about this matter, maybe it has something to do with the fairy water. Thinking of this, Ma Dafu seemed to see a ray of light, and his heart suddenly cooled a lot, which was more effective than drinking ten bowls of herbal tea.
——————————————
These days, Zhilan has also heard rumors outside. According to the janitor, there are also some people in the vicinity of Lin Mansion who sneak around outside the door all day long. Although Lin Mubai did not tell Zhi Lanming that the situation had been a little tense recently, from the solemn looks of the guards guarding Orchid Garden, she could also see that the matter was not trivial.
With the idea of prevention before it happens, Zhilan stepped up the preparation of some easy-to-carry poison powder for self-defense. Last time in Hanfu, because of the little tigress's obstruction, she couldn't pick Ziyun, which made her very regretful. But fortunately, there are many medicines that can replace Ziyun in the mountains behind Linfu. For example, this time, she used a medicinal herb called Soul Herb to configure self-defense medicine powder, which was casually named Soul Summoning Powder. Once in danger, as long as the medicine is sprinkled on the person, the person's consciousness can be controlled for up to three hours, which is somewhat similar to hypnosis.
Despite this, she still couldn't sleep peacefully every night, and she had two dark circles under her eyes at a young age. Late that night, Zhilan, who couldn't sleep, simply got up and lit a candle and held a book to read. As soon as I read two sentences, I heard a commotion outside, and there was a lot of noise, so I asked Shen'er to go out to investigate.
After a while, Shen'er hurriedly ran in and said, "There are two thieves outside who have been caught by the master, and they are questioning!" ”
When Zhilan heard this, she felt "chuckle" in her heart, and sure enough, she still attracted flies.
Shen'er also said: "I heard that those two people are very hard-boned, but they refuse to admit what they came here in the middle of the night." The old man is so angry that he is about to take them to prison and be punished! ”
"Oh? Is it? Zhilan didn't believe that her father wouldn't know what these two people were here for, I'm afraid he just wanted to find out who was behind the scenes. After thinking for a while, Zhilan untied a small medicine bottle from under her waist, handed it to Shen'er and said, "Take this to my father, and tell him to ask questions as long as he sprinkles a little between the mouths and noses of those two people." ”
Although Shen'er didn't understand why, he still took the medicine bottle and left quickly.
Zhilan walked around the room alone and a little restlessly. Qi'er outside also woke up, and seeing that the young lady was so irritable, she hurriedly brought a glass of water and brought it up. Zhilan drank water while thinking about the origin of these two people. If it's just a medicine hall in the capital, it's just that, I'm afraid it's ......
While he was thinking about it, Shen'er panted and pushed open the door, and as soon as he entered the door, he said loudly: "Miss! Your medicine is truly effective! ”
Zhilan asked her to sit down and talk slowly, and asked Qi'er to add some water. Shen'er, who had drunk the water, calmed down a lot and said, "Miss, as soon as the master sprinkled the medicine just now, the two of them seemed to be demented, and they answered whatever they asked!" ”
"What did they say?"
"They said, the day before yesterday, an old man with a sharp voice came to them with fifty taels of gold, saying that he wanted to go to our house to find out if there was any recipe for fairy water......
Shen'er was still chattering, but Zhilan couldn't hear what she was saying. "The old man with a thin voice", isn't that the eunuch in the palace? Who can send eunuchs? Zhilan's forehead was already covered with dense sweat.
So she asked anxiously, "What did my father say?" ”
Shen'er, who was talking with his eyebrows fluttering, was stunned by the question, and replied: "When the master taught those two people to go back to their lives, he said that there was no way to go back to the Lin Mansion. Anyway, the two of them can say whatever they teach. Speaking of this, he looked at Zhilan with a look of adoration, and said with emotion: "Miss-you are really a god!" ”
