As soon as you enter this hall, you will see piles of medicinal herbs neatly stacked in many different areas.

In those areas, many apprentices and senior apprentices were processing different herbs separately and preparing to send them to different alchemy rooms for reprocessing.

In front of Ye Qingyan, a deacon was also constantly checking the work of these apprentices and senior apprentices. Suddenly, the deacon looked at the menacing Ye Qingyan, and he was slightly stunned to know the purpose of Ye Qingyan's trip.

Seeing the excited look on Ye Qingyan's face, the deacon surnamed Huo took the initiative to greet him and seemed to be very enthusiastic and asked: "Deacon Ye, I heard that you took office on the first day today, why did you come to me if you didn't stay well in your one-third of an acre, it's really a long way to come!"

Ye Qingyan knew at a glance when he heard the other party's words that the other party was an old fritter, but he was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Just when the other party came over to speak, Ye Qingyan had already thought of some words to prevaricate him, "Hehe, Deacon Huo, you are really a noble person, the batch of medicinal materials in my alchemy room just now should have been sent from you!"

was asked by Ye Qingyan, Deacon Huo said with a shy face: "Yes, of course I sent it here, how about it, the quality of the medicinal materials is not said!"

When Deacon Huo was speaking, a few sneers faintly popped out of his throat, he seemed to think that Ye Qingyan did not govern at all, and he always had a smile on his face when facing Ye Qingyan, as if he was deliberately embarrassing Ye Qingyan.

It is no wonder that from the previous conversation with Zheng Shi, Ye Qingyan learned that Huo Qidong and Yandong had an excellent relationship. It is also very common for Yandong to use Huo Qidong to calculate himself. Now it seems that this is really happening.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that some of the medicinal herbs I have on hand seem to have been mistaken by me!" Ye Qingyan slowly took out a large amount of oxtail grass from his pocket.

Seeing that the oxtail grass that he deliberately sent to Ye Qingyan was placed in front of him. Huo Qidong frowned slightly, wanting to hear what Ye Qingyan wanted to say.

"Deacon Huo, I don't have a good memory, just now an apprentice under my hand told me that this is not turning cow grass, but oxtail grass, I was on fire at the time, our alchemy hall is such a big place, Deacon Huo can send some medicinal materials to the wrong place? This apprentice is simply too stupid, he can't even tell the difference between oxtail grass and cow grass. What do you say let me say?" Seeing that Huo Qidong was as thick-skinned as the city wall, Ye Qingyan was not polite to him, and threw these oxtail grass directly on the ground, so he hugged his arms and began to nag.

At first, Huo Qidong didn't feel anything when he heard Ye Qingyan's words, but the more Ye Qingyan said, the more annoyed Huo Qidong became. Feelings Ye Qingyan This refers to Sang scolding Huai, who sincerely wants to embarrass himself. At this moment, Huo Qidong's face was a little ugly.

Seeing that Ye Qingyan was still interested in continuing to speak, Huo Qidong also waved his hand a little annoyed and said, "Deacon Ye, you don't have to act here, this is simply oxtail grass, what your apprentice said is very right." It's you, the deacon, who doesn't seem to move anything

I don't understand. Why are there so many useless deacons these years?"

Just now, Ye Qingyan was referring to Sang scolding Huai, but when he arrived at Huo Qidong, he almost pointed at Ye Qingyan's nose and scolded. However, after he scolded him, he didn't forget to give Ye Qingyan a step down, seeing Ye Qingyan's somewhat ugly face, Huo Qidong suddenly said embarrassedly: "Of course Deacon Ye, I'm only talking about a small number of deacons, you just came, some things may not be very clear, and some mistakes should be made." ”

"By the way, what is the matter with you coming to me, just want me to identify these medicinal materials for you? No problem, I have identified them, they are all oxtail grass, if I am not mistaken, it was your apprentice who deceived you!" Huo Qidong didn't seem to understand what Ye Qingyan meant, and after finishing speaking, he also waved his fat and big belly, as if he was very serious.

His performance suddenly made Ye Qingyan have the urge to rush up and smash Huo Qidong. However, he still pressed down the true emotions in his heart.

Huo Qidong dared to say this, which made it clear that he did not admit that the oxtail grass just now was sent to Ye Qingyan by him. In this way, Ye Qingyan had no choice but to take him.

You must know that ordinary medicinal materials are counted on the spot, but these apprentices who checked the medicinal materials for Ye Qingyan had no experience, and the other party was forcing people everywhere, so this batch of oxtail grass mixed under Ye Qingyan's nose. Now when Ye Qingyan comes back, it's too late to find Huo Qidong.

However, since the other party wants to blame himself, he will leave some clues, so even if Huo Qidong says so, Ye Qingyan will definitely not be angry. However, he still showed a very annoyed look and said, "Hey, I am indeed a bit of a layman, and it seems that I am really incompetent as a deacon." ”

"By the way, where did my batch of overturned cow grass come from, can I take a look at the bill of goods that went out from you?" Ye Qingyan saw Huo Qidong's somewhat carried away performance, he didn't break it directly, but turned to Huo Qidong and asked.

"What do you want this for, don't you go to that apprentice to recover your cattle grass and come to me to toss around, isn't it delaying things?" Huo Qidong's face changed, knowing that this Deacon Ye was even more difficult to deal with than he thought. However, he also secretly sighed in his heart, even if Ye Qingyan was difficult to deal with, what could he do, and when there was no medicinal alchemy, wouldn't he have to beg for mercy obediently? So when he thought of this, Huo Qidong still smiled coldly in his heart.

was counted down by Huo Qidong, Ye Qingyan's forehead was also sweating, he quickly turned his head to Huo Qidong and said: "Deacon Huo, in fact, I also want to find some evidence from you in this matter, at least to prove that the medicinal materials have been sent from you, so I also have a number in my heart, in case the above is checked, I will have an explanation!"

When Ye Qingyan said these words, he was half pleading, half discussing, and gave Huo Qidong enough face. Huo Qidong thought about it, even if he showed it to Ye Qingyan, what could he do?

"Okay, I'll take you to see it today, I hope you can punish that apprentice who stole and turned over cow grass!" Huo Qidong seemed to be very generous on the surface, and even had infinite sympathy for Ye Qingyan's experience. But in fact, he had already scolded Ye Qingyan in his heart. In his opinion, Ye Qingyan is a complete idiot.

Of course, with his ingenuity and ability, even if he encounters someone who is a hundred times more shrewd than Ye Qingyan, he will also suffer bad luck under his hands.

Since Huo Qidong wanted to take Ye Qingyan to see the shipping list, he naturally wouldn't pretend to be fake, and there was no need for him to pretend to be fake. Because before he did this, he thought about a lot of causes and consequences very clearly. He thought that he had done a good job, so now he was full of confidence in taking Ye Qingyan to the place where the bill of goods was stored.

"The medicinal materials sent to you are sent from here, here is the shipping list, you can take a look!" said Deacon Huo, then took down a booklet from the wall and handed it to Ye Qingyan. Ye Qingyan looked at the content recorded above and there was no problem at all, and only then did he "believe" what Huo Qidong said, and it seemed that the cow grass was indeed sent out.

Seeing Ye Qingyan's blank face, Huo Qidong immediately sneered and said, "Why, Deacon Ye, don't you still believe what I said, or did you make such a big mistake on the first day you took office, and you didn't know how to repent, and you still want to come to me to find trouble?"

Huo Qidong knew that his politeness was over, and he could add some seasoning to Ye Qingyan a little. So gradually, his tone became a little impatient, and even a little tough.

"Uh, Deacon Huo, you should understand my feelings, how can I be looking for trouble, I just want to find some clues, I obviously lost so many cow grass, why can't I find it now?" Although he was still very calm just now, after seeing that the shipping list was accurate, Ye Qingyan was also a little confused, and he suddenly began to mumble to himself as if he was panicked. This made Deacon Huo extremely proud.

In his opinion, Ye Qingyan is nothing more than that. Moreover, he has been a deacon here for so many years, what kind of character has not been rectified, is he still afraid that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy will not succeed? Therefore, the more Ye Qingyan panicked, the more proud he became.

Seeing that the time had come to stimulate Ye Qingyan again, Huo Qidong sneered again and said: "Deacon Ye, since you can't find any clues from me, don't waste my time here, I think you should hurry up and find a way to get medicinal materials, otherwise you will be severely punished if you can't complete your task today, and I won't be able to help you at that time!"

Huo Qidong's last few words were very serious, and he almost gave Ye Qingyan an ultimatum. This made Ye Qingyan appear to collapse more and more. In the end, Ye Qingyan grabbed Huo Qidong's collar as if he was crazy, and couldn't help but shout: "Huo Qidong, are you stumbling on me and want to rectify me with Yandong, otherwise, why are the other alchemy rooms fine, but I have a problem here!"

Ye Qingyan tore Huo Qidong's collar and said uncontrollably, which made many apprentices who had been working next to him startled and thought that something was going on here.

Because of Ye Qingyan's recklessness, Huo Qidong's already gloomy face became even more pale. In fact, in his heart, he smiled gloomily, as if the best "situation" he had waited for had appeared.

In fact, he and Yan Dong planned this incident of the loss of medicinal materials just to drive Ye Qingyan crazy. (To be continued......)
