Shen Yunzhen looked him up and down, he was wearing a dark shirt, embroidered with the texture of plum with tender yellow silk threads, and the sheep fat jade hair crown was accompanied by a silver sheep's head mask, which looked polite and polite, like a Confucian student.

Wen Yuan? She frowned: "Are you Wen Yuan?" ”

She didn't recognize him a little, a small companion by King Xin's side back then, opened and closed his mouth was full of poetry, and he was rude. I heard that he has been very decent over the years and has become the most well-known lobbyist around King Shin. Now he has become a kidnapping and ransom bandit?

"I really can't imagine that you still have Yunwen Yunwu!" There was sarcasm in her voice, and Wen Yuan, who was familiar with poetry and books, naturally understood that he was a little embarrassed, and it was really disappointing for a gentleman to do such a kidnapping and extortion.

"He asked you to come?" She asked coldly.

She's quite smart, but as a meat ticket, it's no good to be too smart. Wen Yuan smiled faintly: "Since Miss Shen is so smart, you might as well guess, what is Your Highness's intention for me to tie you here?" ”

This is exactly the question she wants to ask, but she doesn't want to guess, and she doesn't bother to guess, anyway, it's all some reasons that can't be put on the table.

Shen Yunzhen didn't look over: "If you want to say it, you can say it, you don't have to go around." ”

"Hah! What a temper tantrum! ”

He let out a dry laugh and swept her cheek, two powerful fingers pinching her bones aching. He stared at her, his eyes continuing to water.

"I know, Miss Shen went out of the palace to eradicate the epidemic, Nan Jingpei's dog won't be cornered, right? Even weak women and children were sent out. He slowly raised Shen Yunzhen's jaw: "Tell me, is he cornered?" ”

"I think it's King Shin who is cornered, right?" She asked rhetorically: "Didn't Nan Yinglin kidnap me, a weak woman, in order to prevent the imperial court from treating the epidemic?" He is not much better than the emperor. ”

"Sharp teeth!" He suddenly pulled out a knife and put it against her lips, his eyes showing a fierce light: "What I hate most is a woman with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth." ”

"If you kill me, you see if I'm afraid of death."

Wen Yuan glared at her for a while, laughed loudly, revealing a row of snow-white teeth, and he slowly stood up: "I know that your Shen family is not afraid of death, because the Shen family has long been dead." But what I don't know is if you're willing to do something more meaningful than death, such as filial piety or something? ”

Shen Yunzhen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, Nan Yinglin had already said that if he didn't poison Nan Jingpei, he would end up killing his father, but hearing Wen Yuan say this, maybe Nan Yinglin hadn't hurt his father yet.

"Do you want to save Shen Wenzhong's life?" He walked slowly in the room with his hands behind his back: "His Royal Highness King Xin said that Miss Shen is a person of pure filial piety, and if she hears that her father is suffering in King Xin's Mansion, she will gladly cooperate with us." ”

"You've never dared to call me my father by his first name." She stared at him.

Wen Yuan pursed the corners of his mouth: "In the past, Miss Shen would not disobey the will of His Royal Highness King Xin." ”

She didn't want to talk to him, it was useless to talk too much, she just wanted to know about her father: "How do I know my father is still alive?" What proof do you use? ”

He knew that she would ask like this, and he had already prepared the evidence. Two fingers reached into his sleeve and pulled out a note. This is a half-written prescription, and judging from the few herbs at the beginning, it should be used to treat the epidemic. He shook the note in front of Shen Yunzhen's eyes, and a scent of ink came to his face.

"It's newly written recently, I know that Miss Shen Bingxue is smart, and fake things can't fool you."

This is the father's handwriting is right, the pen is full of subtle and timeless taste, the word is like its person, when the first emperor was alive, he often praised his father for writing a good handwriting, and said that his father's handwriting is unique, unparalleled.

"Give me the prescription and I'll let you go." Wen Yuan leaned down, as if to discuss with her.

"You tied me up just for a prescription for the epidemic?"

She couldn't cry or laugh a little, there are many prescriptions for treating the epidemic, and you can find it by flipping through medical books. He went around in such a big circle, and that's what he did for it?

"Listen up," he said, "I don't just want this one, I want all the secret recipes of your Shen family's ancestors." ”

She was stunned for a moment, people who have achieved great medical skills will often use their own medical experience to prepare exclusive secret recipes. For healers, secret recipes are often the most valuable, healers are highly respected, and their social status is several levels higher than that of ordinary people. Healers with secret recipes are even more legendary and often famous.

A unique secret recipe for boiling ejiao is enough to support the various expenses of a huge family, let alone the Shen family? A hundred years of traditional Chinese medicine, several generations have been doctors, and there are hundreds of secret recipes accumulated? If anyone obtains the true inheritance of the Shen family's secret recipe, it must be difficult for anyone in the entire Great Qi to match it.

"What do you want this for?" She asked, suspiciously.

"You don't care about that." He replied bluntly.

She sneered, and didn't even dare to say what it was for, it must not be a fair thing. The Shen family has been innocent for generations, how could she allow outsiders to use the secret recipe for despicable deeds?

Wen Yuanxu was in a hurry to ask for the secret recipe, so he hesitated a little: "Naturally, it is above board, can't we use it to practice medicine?" ”

"Are there any kidnappers in the sky?"

He was already a scholar, and it was the first time he had done kidnapping. At first, he could pretend to be grim and cold, but after asking a few words, he was timid. The corners of his lips twitched visibly, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"King Xin has already arrested my father, if he really practices medicine, he can open a medical hall, why bother to arrest me again?" She glanced at it contemptuously, it must have been because King Xin had done something that could not see the light, and her father sternly refused, so he came to attack her again.

"This ......," he stumbled.

Without admitting himself, Shen Yunzhen closed his eyes: "What my father doesn't agree to, I won't agree to." ”

He frowned: "Aren't you afraid that the Shen family's century-old foundation will be ruined in your generation?!" ”

"I'm a woman, and if I want to inherit my ancestral business, it won't be my turn. The foundation of the Shen family has long been broken, what else do I have to fear? ”

He was a little anxious, and grabbed Shen Yunzhen's collar: "Impossible, you are a medical girl, Shen Wenzhong must have taught you all his secret recipes!" ”

"Don't you know that a woman's lack of talent is virtue?"

Wen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and remained motionless for a long time, a sly smile slowly seeped out from the corner of his lips, revealing an eerie and weird feeling. She's lying! Must be lying! The Shen family has no heirs, so if those secret recipes are not passed on to her, who else can they be given to? If she really doesn't know anything, why should the king threaten her?

He slowly loosened Shen Yunzhen's collar: "You still write it obediently, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin." ”

Shen Yunzhen closed her mouth tightly, she had even suffered the board of the court, and she had also tasted Concubine Shu's clamp, were she still afraid of any pain of flesh and skin? Seeing her look of death, Wen Yuan was a little anxious, so he repeated again: "Write it out quickly, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin!" ”

She glanced at Wen Yuan: "I know that you won't kill me until you write the secret recipe, but once I write it, you will kill me immediately." I'm not a fool, so why should I kill myself? ”

She struck him in the heart, grinning, and threw the knife away.

"If you write it, I will plead with the prince, and the prince will spare your life for your credit."

She sneered, Nan Yinglin was born with smallpox when she was ten years old, and she had a pockmarked body. The high fever does not go away, and the whole person burns straight and talks nonsense. A few of them were too healed and afraid of taking responsibility, so they stepped aside. At that time, my father made his own opinion, used the secret recipe of the Shen family, fed one medicine after another, and stayed in the palace for seven days without going home. took care of him unclothed, and only then did he take his life back from the hands of Hades. Even Nan Yinglin's life was given by her father! She wants to live now, and she still has to rely on a scholar to intercede for her!

If he had known about the wolf ambition of King Xin, he shouldn't have saved him at all! A person like him who will take revenge still expects him to practice medicine to help the world? Without the kindness that a healer should have, what is the use of asking for more secret recipes?

Maybe...... Is it asking for money? She was alert. Yes, most of those medical families who have their own secret recipes are illustrious, and there are very few who are poor.

She remembered in a trance that after King Xin bombarded Qixiang Gate, Nan Jingpei had told her that the 10,000 troops of the Northern Han were annihilated by the imperial court, and the nomadic tribes of the Northern Han would eat and wipe King Xin clean and would never let him go easily.

How will he compensate Beihan's 10,000 troops? It is impossible for him to cede the land of the imperial court, and there is only one way to lose money. The Shen family's recipe is really valuable, that's why he captured his father! Perhaps, his father had already heard about the matter of borrowing troops from the Northern Han nomadic tribe to attack the imperial court, so his father refused to cooperate, so he found himself!

The nomadic tribes of the Northern Han have little civilization to speak of, but their private horses* and scimitars they build sharpen iron like clay, and their soldiers are as strong as oxen. And all of this can be exchanged for money! As long as he has enough military salary, he can buy all the strength of Beihan that can fight!

"I see, he's trying to rebel."

Wen Yuan was really stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh. He slowly raised his hand, a little lacking in confidence, and the rest of the bandits came over: "My lord, what do you command?" ”

"Call me until she's willing to hand over the secret recipe."

The rest of the bandits didn't have the same good bearing as him, and the leather whip and bamboo pole in their hands were already eager to try, and they didn't know why the leader was talking nonsense with this woman. People are bitter worms, they can't fight if they don't fight, they just have to fight, they can't stand the pain of flesh and skin, she will naturally confess.

One of them held the whip high above his head, before it fell. Wen Yuan frowned, and was patient again: "This whip is enough for you, you and I advise you to think about it." ”

"Think about it, our Shen family doesn't have a soft bone, if you dare to touch a single hair of my hair, I will bite my tongue and kill myself, and you won't get anything!" She glared at Wen Yuan with an expression of helplessness.

"You!"
