Chapter Ninety-Nine: Sure to Win?
"Oops, it hurts me! Oops..."
"Quiet!"
Wei Miao'er's voice was flat, but it seemed to have an irresistible force.
Tian Lingzi immediately stopped.
Wei Miaoer stretched out her hand to take her pulse, and after three steps, she sighed heavily.
Tian Lingzi learned from Yao Buwei that Wei Miaoer was the most famous doctor in Shengtang County, and today he saw that there were many patients in the medical hall, and his trust in Wei Miaoer increased a little, and now when he heard her sigh, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
Can't even Wei Miaoer save herself?
When Tian Lingzi thought of this, he only felt that his stomach hurt even more.
"Oops! Hey..."
"Quiet!"
Wei Miao'er spoke again, and Tian Lingzi actually closed her mouth again.
"I can cure your disease!"
Hearing this, Tian Lingzi felt as if he had received amnesty, and he only felt that the originally dim world immediately became brighter.
"However, there are a few things that need to be confirmed with you, so be sure to answer them truthfully." Wei Miao'er's tone was still calm, and she didn't feel any fluctuations. "If you use the wrong medicine, the consequences can be very serious."
Tian Lingzi hurriedly agreed. "I will answer truthfully, answer truthfully."
"Where are you from?"
"Chang'an."
"Sure enough." Wei Miao'er muttered to herself. "But just arrived in Shengtang County?"
"Not bad! Not bad! Tian Lingzi nodded hurriedly.
"Have you eaten and drunk in Shengtang County recently?"
"I just had a drink yesterday in the Forgotten Building."
After a few questions, Tian Lingzi no longer had any doubts about Wei Miaoer.
"Judging from the pulse, your body is fine, which is why other doctors dare not give you medicine." Wei Miaoer spoke eloquently. "Your disease is not an incurable disease, but a relatively common oneβnot adapting to the soil and water."
"Not adapted?"
"Not bad."
Tian Lingzi was relieved.
Tian Lingzi always thought that he was poisoned, and he never understood why only he was poisoned. And the more I don't understand, the more I feel that the other party is unfathomable, and I think that the other party is to take revenge on himself for the Linghu family, and he came to ask for his own life. As a result, what was originally just a symptom of abdominal pain was regarded by him as a symptom of poisoning.
Now that he heard Wei Miaoer's diagnosis, Tian Lingzi suddenly felt much more relaxed, and the pain in his abdomen was not so serious.
Wei Miao'er saw the changes in Tian Lingzi's eyes and knew that he was already convinced of his words, so he immediately sank his face. "However, although it is not a serious disease, if the medicine is not right, it is very easy to fall into the root of the disease. If so, the abdominal pain may never get better. β
"Ahh Tian Lingzi was shocked. "What should I do?"
Therefore, you should tell Miao'er in detail about your usual eating habits. Miaoer can also be targeted and prescribe the right medicine. β
"Yes, yes, this official will fully cooperate."
When Wei Miao'er said this, she put her hand on Tian Lingzi's wrist again. "Where do you live in Chang'an City?"
"This..."
A trace of hesitation flashed across Tian Lingzi's face.
"Do you have an official position?"
"Uh..."
"Do you usually eat fine?"
"Hmm."
"What are you eating?"
"This..."
"It seems that Miao'er can't help you."
Wei Miao'er withdrew her fingers and made a gesture to leave.
"Doctor, don't go, I..."
"Adaptation is due to gastrointestinal discomfort caused by short-term dietary differences." Wei Miao'er still looked calm. "Where you live, what you eat, your main dietary preferences, these are directly related to your previous eating habits, and if you don't understand these, Miao'er really can't prescribe medicine for you."
"I, I live in the palace, but a, a eunuch."
Tian Lingzi finally told the truth.
"In that case, then everything will be in order." Wei Miao'er smiled. "You don't need to worry, after three decoctions, Miao'er will ensure that you get rid of the disease."
Tian Lingzi was overjoyed when he heard this. "Really?"
"Hmm."
"Great, great."
Wei Miaoer picked up the brush and began to write the recipe.
β¦β¦β¦
Li You sat in the study and bowed his head in contemplation.
Yao Buwei, Yao Buwei's account book for the transaction with Linghu Yan, Ling Hu's insider Sun Yan, Ling Hu's account book for transferring money to the Linghu family, and the identity of Tian Lingzi's eunuch.
Everything is under control.
The Linghu family has been in the business of selling illicit salt for ten years. Yao Buwei was responsible for the transportation and sales of illicit salt, and Linghu was responsible for docking with Yao Buwei and transferring the sales proceeds to the Linghu family through the cash cabinet.
In this way, all the proceeds from the sale of illicit salt fell into the pockets of Yao Buwei and the Linghu family.
However, at this juncture, why did the emperor send someone to support the Linghu family?
Could it be because of his preference for the Linghu family?
After the ghoul case, Li You had already lost any hope for the emperor of the current dynasty. Especially thinking of the more than forty children who died and the millions of displaced people, Li You even had a sincere hatred for the emperor.
He would rather spend a huge amount of money on refining medicine than half a cent to help the homeless, and he is still increasing taxes.
Nowadays, people's livelihood is withering, and people are everywhere, but taxes are still being paid in various places. Under Li You's rule, although the population of Shengtang County has grown, the lives of ordinary people are not rich, and tax collection is even more difficult.
In such a situation, the treasury revenue is definitely not sufficient. However, when the emperor still took out a lot of money to refine medicine.
Did he use all the revenue of the treasury to refine medicine?
No way!
No matter how incompetent the prime ministers are, they can't condone the emperor to be so indulgent, not to mention that there are many officials.
If the emperor uses the money from the treasury to refine medicine, the government and the opposition will definitely make an uproar.
Where did the emperor get so much money?
Don't?
A thought suddenly popped up in Li You's heart. The thought seemed strange to him, but it seemed like the most plausible explanation.
Decade!
Ten years ago, so much happened.
Ten years ago, Sun Kui took Wei Miao'er as an apprentice, Yao Lan's father died mysteriously, and the Linghu family began to sell illicit salt, and Liu Ya was kidnapped by the man in black.
Aren't these things accidental, but inextricably linked?
The more Li You thought about it, the more he felt that it was very likely.
The emperor instructed Sun Kui to refine the elixir of life, Sun Kui kidnapped willow buds and recruited disciples in order to refine the medicine, and Wei Miaoer was fortunate to be selected by Sun Kui. However, because of the huge cost of elixir, when the treasury was not full, the emperor instructed the Linghu family to sell illicit salt, and then ordered the fox family to hand over part of the proceeds of the illicit salt to the emperor for the emperor to buy precious medicinal materials.
Therefore, now that he has grasped the handle of the Linghu family, the emperor will not hesitate to bear the infamy of the ages, and he will also send people to provide protection for the Linghu family. The reason for this is not how much the emperor prefers the Linghu family, but because this private salt is the emperor's own business.
That's why Wang Lang said that some things seem to be possible, but there is no possibility at all.
If this is the case, then no matter what kind of handle he holds, it is impossible to use this to bring down the Linghu family.
How could the emperor cut off his financial route?
So let the Linghu family go like this?
Because of the sale of illicit salt, a large amount of tax money cannot reach the national treasury. However, the annual tax amount is fixed, and this part of the lost tax will eventually be borne by the people who are taxed. In the end, it was the people who were honest and wanted to live in peace.
What to do?
Li You thought he was holding a good hand, but after understanding the opponent's hole cards, he suddenly found that this was a game that he could not win at all.
Unless there is anyone who can be bigger than the emperor.
Who can be bigger than the emperor?
Li You fell into deep thought again.
β¦β¦β¦
"Master, you're finally here."
Ling Hu Jian sat in the lower hand position, and looked at Miao Chen and the monk standing beside him as he spoke.
Miao Chen still looked smiling, but the monk beside him was obviously angry. This monk is burly and vicious, especially with a pair of triangular eyes, like a hungry wolf in the wilderness, not only with strong hostility, but also with a ferocity.
This man reminded Ling Fox of his other subordinate, the Black Dog.
Could it be that this great monk is also like a black dog, a madman who kills people without blinking?
If yes, that's great.
Ling Hu Xuan was thinking in his heart, but he looked sad on the surface. "About Wu Wen Wu asked the two senior brothers, disciples..."
"Who killed them?" Before Ling Hu finished speaking, the great monk had already interrupted. "Where is the body?"
Ling Hu looked at Miao Chen and found that he didn't mean to speak, so he repeated in detail how he was looking for Wuwen Wuqing.
"So you didn't see the bodies of the two?"
"Hmm." Ling Hu Yan nodded. "However, judging from the situation on the scene..."
Before Ling Hu finished speaking, Miao Chen suddenly spoke. "The two of them should be more than lucky."
"Master?"
This great monk turned out to be Miao Chen's apprentice.
"Wu Xin, Wu Wen Wu asks the ability of the two, don't you still understand?" Miao Chen turned to Wuxin. "And the other party not only has the Qingfeng Sword Ouyang Jian, but also your sworn enemy - Wugang."
When Wuxin heard Wugang's name, the cold light in his eyes was even stronger. "He's there!"
Ling Hu Jian immediately saw the opportunity. "These two are Li You's minions, and they have both sworn to arrest Wu Wenwu and ask the two senior brothers."
"Damn!"
Wuxin seems to have a very good relationship with Wuwen Wuwen, and when the two of them are mentioned, they will be excited.
This is exactly what Ling Fox wants to see.
"Childe, according to what you wrote in your letter, Li You seems to have taken the lead, and you are afraid that you are going to be defeated."
"Not bad."
Ling Hulu was not obscure, and explained in detail to Miao Chen the recent poisoning of Tian Lingzi and the relationship between Li You and Moxi. "In terms of resourcefulness, the apprentice may not lose to him, but in terms of force, he can only be ashamed of himself."
"Haha, don't worry too much about this." Miao Chen looked confident. "The tree is a big wind. Li You has already caused big trouble for himself. β
"Oh?"
When Ling Hu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
Could it be that there are other people who also want Li You's life? , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
