Chapter 50, spying on the willow house

After Zhou Tianyi returned to the private house and handed over the medicinal materials to Shen Buwen in person, he turned into the deep, narrow and secluded alley behind the mansion alone, and hid in the branch of the alley, looked left and right carefully, stood with his sword in his hand and said solemnly to the air: "Come out, what is the progress of the matter that you have investigated?" ”

Four men with different postures and ordinary faces knelt behind Zhou Tianyi in unison, "Master." "These people are the shadows that Zhou Tianyi cultivated when he was in Yuyan, and they are mostly for him to find out the local news of Yuyan, and they will also be sent by him to protect important people when necessary. He only got in touch with them last night, and immediately went on a series of tasks to use their eyes and ears instead of himself to find out the current situation in Yuyan.

"Master, these days, His Royal Highness King Ping and a pharmacist surnamed Shen with excellent medical skills have been treating the epidemic in the four cities, and the prefects of the four cities and the rich families have cooperated to control the plague."

"There are also people in the five central cities who are infected with the epidemic, but the strange thing is that Pharmacist Shen's prescription does not work for their symptoms. In recent days, King Ping seems to have plans to go to Xiangcheng, the most central part of Yuyan. ”

"The five central cities have been locked down for nearly two months, and the inflow and outflow of news are not controlled by anyone, and the subordinates are not effective, and the people behind the scenes have not been found out for the time being."

"Master, this is the structural diagram of the Liu Mansion in Yangcheng that you want and the situation of the people of the Liu clan."

"Hmm." Zhou Tianyi nodded, it only took one night to investigate to this extent, he was still satisfied, these four pieces of information could give him a general understanding of Yuyan's situation, he didn't think that Qian Yirong would hide these things from him, but this kind of thing, after multiple oral transmissions, there will be changes of unknown significance, he is to Yuyan, he is here to fundamentally solve the problem, and the more accurate and complete the information that can be collected, the better.

After quickly reading the structure diagram of the Liu Mansion and destroying it, and then stuffing the letter with the situation of the Liu clan into his pocket, Zhou Tianyi ordered two of the four people: "Yu Fei, Yao Lin, you go to the vicinity of the Qian Clan's pharmacy and keep an eye on it, no matter what happens, put the safety of Miss Qin Song and Qin first." ”

Originally, he could send one or two people to follow Qin Song in the morning to ensure that she was well-thought, but he didn't think about it from this aspect all along, there was nothing wrong with sending her and picking her up by himself, it didn't matter whether he was at ease or not, he just wanted to spend a little time with her every day.

Thinking about Qin Song's matter made Zhou Tianyi stunned for a moment, while the remaining two were still meticulously half-kneeling, he immediately gave another order, "You two go to the outskirts of the city to find Guanghan, and cooperate with him to continue to investigate the situation of the epidemic in the five central cities." "With his sixth brother in the four cities on the front line, he can be completely relieved, but the strange and incurable diseases in the five central cities are a little suspicious, and the outbreak of two epidemics in one place is not a small problem.

Although he has a general understanding of the current Yuyan, Zhou Tianyi still has no clue about the connection between the epidemic and the blockade news, and the huge network of interests that he had conceived before coming has not surfaced at all.

There was a pent-up sense of outburst in this long-fought land, and the clouds were so dark that no sunlight could be seen.

Out of the alley, Zhou Tianyi turned left and right, and finally climbed over the wall into the backyard of the Liu family's mansion. He is very concerned about the local forces in Yangcheng that they bumped into when they entered the city, the Yangcheng Liu clan should be a branch of the Jingzhou Liu clan, his father and the emperor reformed the official system and moved a knife against the family, except for the big branches with real talent and learning, the other families have been hit hard, and the Liu clan branch has gradually declined since then, but I didn't expect that the branch that has been unknown on the border over the years has grown to the extent that it is rampant and unscrupulous.

In the past, when he was in Yuyan, he mostly stayed on the front line, and even if he really went into the city for a month or two during the truce, he had never seen this kind of behavior and situation of oppressing the people by the local clans, if it wasn't for the fact that the Liu clan was hiding too well, then someone should have been instigating behind it recently.

In any case, the expansion of local power is not a good thing, especially on this difficult frontier.

After a few laps in the backyard of the Liu house, Zhou Tianyi was helpless, this Liu family seems to be more than a womanizer, and there are groups of wives and concubines in the courtyard of the back house, some of whom are dressed up in flowers, and some of whom are miserable and miserable all day long. He suddenly regretted a little, he should have sent someone to keep an eye on the girl who escaped on the day he entered Yang City, maybe it was also a clue.

The courtyard of the Liu family's sister-in-law was second only to the main courtyard where the head of the Liu family was, and the noise in his bedroom attracted Zhou Tianyi's attention, he leaned against the window and opened the window slightly, trying to see through the gap what Liu Boming was doing in the morning.

The room was bright red, with curtains and curtains blocking the sunlight, and it was a little dim inside, but the red candles still burning added an impulsive ambiguity to the dimness. Liu Boming pulled a bedgown with a large open chest, tied a red silk hairband to cover his eyes, and was playing hide and seek with his wives and concubines. This is like the main courtyard of the back house of a large family, it is clearly a private room in the flower building for everyone to play!

Zhou Tianyi had no intention of watching other people's flowers, and was about to leave with no interest, but was pulled back by Liu Boming's concubine's unintentional words - "It's full of medicinal smells, and I haven't made any money, so I'm about to put my life into it, oops, when will this be the end?" ”

What does it smell like medicine?

As if hearing the key words, Zhou Tianyi squatted by the window for a while, but Liu Boming had already dragged his wives and concubines to the bed and turned over the clouds, even if the mood was high, he didn't mention half of the words related to medicine, but his wives and concubines, one by two, were complaining that he had a strong smell of medicine, and there was a faint meaning that Liu Boming was doing big business recently.

Quietly closing the window, Zhou Tianyi plunged into the front yard of the willow house, the front house was not as smoky as the back house, it was very quiet and elegant. The mansions of large families are designed to have a relatively hidden small flower hall for meeting important guests and saying things that are "not enough for outsiders".

He walked around the front house, except for the attendants and maids, he didn't see anyone from the Liu family at all, so he locked his eyes on a bland wall, which was the only room where he didn't find the entrance, and I was afraid that it was the place where he had secretly met distinguished guests. Zhou Tianyi jumped to the roof, silently lifted a tile, and observed the situation inside the house.

There were only two people sitting opposite each other in the small flower hall, staggered and whispering, Zhou Tianyi couldn't hear what they were talking about, so he could only try to recognize the appearance of the speaker. On the coffee table between the two of them was a booklet, densely packed with words, and just as he tried to carefully read the contents of the album, one of them closed the booklet and put it in his pocket, got up and said goodbye to the other, and then left the dark corridor.

Zhou Tianyi knew that the opportunity to find out the identity of that person and even what the booklet was was coming, carefully covered the tiles back, he cautiously stared at the various doors of the Liu Mansion, and finally found the person who hurriedly got on the sedan chair at a side door, and followed all the way.

-

In the middle hall of the Qian family's pharmacy, Qian Yirong finally waited for the opportunity to talk to Qin Song alone. Several attendants were busy all night last night, and today's energetic account rooms competed to check the accounts like chicken blood, and in the second half of the afternoon, all the detailed accounts of the medicine store in Yuyan were really checked.

Qian Yirong sent the bookkeepers back to rest, while he sat and counted the ledger with Qin Song.

There are more than 1,000 kinds of medicinal materials operated by the medicine store, and the words of the old bookkeepers are all written in a hurry, each with its own characteristics and extremely difficult to recognize, and many of them have similar names, Qin Song is very headache and slowly checked them one by one, quiet and serious.

Sitting face to face, Qian Yirong couldn't help but let his eyes glance in the direction of Qin Song, her stillness, her movement, her shrewdness, her stubbornness, he liked it all, but so what? Did Qin Song realize his feelings for her? Even if she realized, would she respond?

Although it was out of place, Qian Yirong always felt that if he didn't seize this opportunity to be alone and say something to her, it would be really late," Qin Song. He called dryly, but he didn't know how to express what he thought, and he felt that his mouth was dry and he couldn't speak.

"Huh? What's wrong? Qin Song raised her head, her gaze moved directly to the general ledger in Qian Yirong's hand, and when she saw that there was no red circle or mark, she looked at the person sitting opposite in confusion.

Qian Yirong's heart was flustered, the pen dipped in cinnabar in his hand shook, and a point fell on the account, Qin Song tilted his head and tried his best to read the words correctly, and read: "Bai Qi? There were too many herbs at the beginning of the white letter, and she was a little unsure.

"Huh? Oh, yes, yes. Qian Yirong was taken aback, hurriedly lowered his head to confirm, and then changed his words: "No, no, this is Bai Zhi." ”

"Even you can see it wrong, aren't these old guys embarrassing me?" Qin Song pursed her lips and muttered to herself, because she had misread these two herbs in the morning, she was also complained a few words by the oldest qualified Cao Ledger, she naturally would not care about the gains and losses of her tongue with her elders, but she was educated by herself who rarely made mistakes, and she still had a pimple in her heart.

Qian Yirong smiled, and it was hard to say that he had mistaken the name of the medicine because he watched her wander, so he could only nod his head in accordance with Qin Song's meaning, and such a small episode made his emotions that almost burst out.

He was already upset when such a big thing happened in the medicine store, and when he saw Qin Song in Yuyan, he was moved, but Qin Song's dependence on Zhou Tianyi, the king of Zhao, made him upset, Qian Yirong hammered his forehead irritably, Huo Ran got up and walked quickly to the back hall, and poured some cold water on himself to clean his face and refresh himself.

After sitting for a day, his whole heart was on the account, even the machines in the workshop had to be stopped, Qin Song shook his head, thinking that he understood Qian Yirong's irritable and compulsive mood at the moment.

"Angelica Angelica, parsnip, ephedra, forsythia......" Qin Song looked at the medicinal materials written in black and white in a trance, Qian Yirong told her that these were the fake medicines that Qian had sold in Yuyan before, and there was no overlap with the other medicinal materials that Zhou Tianyi had heard from Shopkeeper Liu yesterday, and there was no connection without overlap, Qin Song was worried.

When Qian Yirong came back, she was already sorting out the types of medicinal materials with a large inflow and outflow, although the accounts were not easy to recognize, but the content should be the same, and the names of the people who handled the time and place were clear, and now she found something unusual, "Who is this Feng Shang?" ”

"The shopkeeper of Weicheng Pharmacy, what's wrong with him?" Qian Yirong was vigilant, and Qin Song specially mentioned it, it must be noteworthy.

She checked the medicinal herbs with the largest total amount of entry and exit again, and the people who handled them all wrote Feng Shang's name, "How long has he been working in the medicine shop?" How old is it? What did you do before? Qin Song asked a series of questions, this person is shrewd, if you only look at the account books of each shop, there will be other medicinal materials in and out of the amount of other medicinal materials above the amount of his hands, how can you not suspect him, but Qian Yirong this time spent a lot of energy on the general account, the amount of each shop is added, and the medicinal materials with the largest total amount of entry and exit surface.

"Three years, about twenty-eight or nine, I don't know what I used to do, when I met him, he was a down-and-out scholar, and he wanted to ask for an errand in the pharmacy, but it happened that the shop was not full of people at that time, so he was stayed." Qian Yirong replied from memory.

"Three years? And he became a treasurer from a fellow. Qin Song grasped the point, and wanted to promote a person who he didn't know and didn't know the details to be the shopkeeper of a shop, and he could deliver it with confidence after only observing it for three years, it could only be that person had outstanding ability.

"No, no, in fact, he is the acting shopkeeper, Weicheng's shopkeeper Zhao returned to his hometown three months ago, I haven't found a suitable person to let him act for a while, and now there is a fake medicine, I can't take care of it for a while, so ......" Qian Yirong briefly said about the process of Feng Shang becoming the manager of Weicheng Pharmacy, and couldn't find anything suspicious, he looked at Qin Song, and his gaze moved down to the paper in front of her.

Qin Song had already counted what she had at hand, she directly took out the paper and handed it to Qian Yirong, "Look, it's all this person." The face of the person before the meeting became more and more gloomy, and she was a little anxious that Qian Yirong would make some big moves, so she reminded her: "This is just my speculation, there is no evidence, and whether it is true or not, all we can do now is to observe carefully." ”

"I understand." Putting down the paper, Qian Yirong smiled gently, saying that he would not act rashly.

"Let's check the accounts, at this rate, it should be finished today." Qin Song smiled back and put on a posture again.

Qian Yirong nodded sullenly, Qin Song only smiled at him alone, this was the first time, his face was a little hot, and he suddenly forgot to say something to thank her. He had always wanted to love and pamper her, but she was always more capable than him, and without her assistance, it would have been impossible for this account to be checked in two days.

He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and forced himself to calm down and calm down! After going back and forth a few times, the restless emotions were calmed down.

Originally, he had no clue about the fake medicine, but now he finally found a little trace, and now that the account has been checked to this extent, Qian Yirong thought about simply accounting clearly from beginning to end, and sorting out Yuyan's problems well.
