When Qiu Shaohu said this, he also looked at Wei Shuo puzzled, not knowing what he meant by suddenly taking this coral.

If he suspects that someone is taking the opportunity to be shoddy, it doesn't seem to be the case, then what's the point of Wei Shuo just talking about it?

"Yes, Dr. Wei, there is nothing wrong with the quality of this coral, is there anything wrong?" Xiao Zhang is also arguing on reason.

"Okay, let me ask you," Wei Shuo took the coral and said to Xiao Zhang, "You are in charge of medicinal herbs, do you know why this coral is too light?"

"This ...... The villain is not Lang Zhong, I haven't read the book, and the medicinal properties I understand are all told to me by you, Doctor Wei, and you didn't tell me this, so naturally I don't know." Xiao Zhang hesitated.

"You don't know, okay, I'll tell you now," Wei Shuo's voice raised a little, "Coral is born at the bottom of the deep sea, it is cold, watery, and likes moisture and coolness, so it should be stored in a place where it cannot see the light. But it also has the characteristic that corals grow in large groups, and if they are alone, they are very easy to wither. This is true even when fished out of the water. Therefore, whenever the corals are stored, they must be stored together in large quantities, and once the corals stored at the same time are less than 20 catties, they will quickly dehydrate, as is the case now."

Wei Shuo said as he turned his head and gave Shen Xinfu a look.

Shen Xinfu understood, and immediately picked up the box where the coral was placed just now, and the power burst out, turning it over and over.

A large amount of sand was poured out of the box, making a mess. In the whole box, most of the boxes are actually filled with them, and only the top part of the corals is used as a trick, and if you don't check it carefully, you can't know at all.

"This ...... Everything in front of this ......" almost made Xiao Zhang unbelievable, looking at the vigilant eyes of the three people, he couldn't think about it for a while, "poof" knelt on the ground, and said incoherently, "This...... I, you...... Dr. Wei, I'm ...... I don't really know about that...... ...... the end?"

"Tell me slowly, what the hell is going on." Wei Shuo said, "Didn't you say that you had made an inventory of all the medicinal materials that were brought in? How could such an omission be committed?"

"Villain...... I really don't know anything," Xiao Zhang wiped his sweat and sorted out his thoughts before he said, "I come here early every morning, first of all, I have to check the medicinal materials in the warehouse, and then I stay here, and what medicinal materials I want to transport in and out every day have to go through my records until I leave at night. For so long, there has never been a lapse. But for now...... I really don't know what the problem is."

"Bring me your daily bills, and I'll see them for myself." Wei Shuo said.

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Zhang didn't dare to slack off, and Fei also took out all his records in recent days and put them in front of the other party to make him look at them.

Wei Shuo glanced at it and said, "This is a clear record, and the payment is clear, which proves that you are really doing your best. And judging by the way you look, you really don't know about it, so I can be blameless."

"Thank you, thank you, Dr. Wei." Xiao Zhang was relieved.

"But," Wei Shuo said, "You are diligent in your work, but you can't cover up your omissions. Right now, it's true that a batch of drugs is missing for no apparent reason, and you don't know anything about it. I have to say, it was your mistake......

"That ......" Xiao Zhang became nervous again, not knowing how the other party was going to send him down. new

"Your accounts are clear, but the actual medicinal materials don't correspond at all, and there must be something hidden in it." Wei Shuo said: "The purchase channels of medicinal materials, and the ways of use, are these records still there?"

"I can go find it," Zhang said immediately.

"What about the person in charge of them?"

"I'll call right away!" As soon as he finished speaking, the man who guarded the warehouse ran out of the smoke and was never seen again.

"You really have two hits, and for a moment I don't think you're a Langzhong, but a master." Qiu Shaohu said.

"Cure the disease first to save the heart, someone makes a mistake, it is also a "disease", since Lang Zhong hangs the pot to help the world, he must also give them a chance to remedy." Wei Shuo's tone was calm.

Xiao Zhang

Not long after he went out, he brought back two people after a while, one was a sturdy man, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a big bald head with an obvious scar, which was left by him when he was in the army before, and his surname was Liu, so outsiders called him "Scarhead Liu", who was in charge of transporting medicinal materials from the medicine store to the warehouse. The other person is an old man, wearing a pair of senile glasses, looking very learned, he used to be a man from a high background, has been a staff member in the government, retired after old age, and was invited by the medical hall to do the accounting of the gentleman, usually the records of the pipeline medicinal materials transported from the warehouse to the medical hall and the use in the medical hall, others respectfully call him "Li Lao".

Wei Shuo saw that the three people in charge of each party had arrived, and said in a deep voice, "The three of you are responsible for the transportation, management, and use of medicines, and you have all recorded the amount of medicinal materials transported in and consumed every day, and you are all in the same place, aren't you?"

"That's natural, although my old Liu doesn't know a single big character, but he knows how to count, and he wants to fool me to shoddy, but there is no door!"

"Young master, although the old man is old, he is not old and dizzy, and he remembers that the account is naturally vivid, and he has never missed it."

Scarhead Liu and Li Lao both said so.

"Okay, then now I'm here, right in this warehouse, you take the past records, check the goods, I want to see if those missing medicinal materials are gone."

Wei Shuo said that several people did not dare to slack off, and immediately moved the goods, turned the account book, and checked the accounts.

During the whole process, no one said a word, and the invisible pressure, like a hammer hanging over their heads, urged them to move accurately and quickly.

Qiu Shaohu was on the side, looking at the few of them, and found that the accounts they recorded were very clear, and there was no omission.

Wei Shuo was supported by Shen Xinfu and waited for the result.

It wasn't until an hour and a half later that everything was counted. Scarhead Liu was covered in sweat, and Xiao Zhang was also very tired, Li Lao lifted his glasses and said to Wei Shuo: "Young Master, we have counted all the goods, but all the medicinal materials that are stored, transported, or used can all be matched, and they are indeed recorded correctly, but they are just ......."

"Just what?" Wei Shuo said.

"It's just that there is indeed a medicinal herb, which should still be in the medicine shop, but no one has ever seen it. A month ago, this medicinal material was owed to us in the form of credit by the medicine store, and it was said that it would make up for us in half a month, so no one cared about it at first. But now, no one has seen it."

Li Lao said truthfully.

"What is the missing herb?"

"I don't know, because at that time, the medicine store recorded it for us according to the denominated silver taels, and I only wrote how much money I owed us for the medicinal materials here, but this is more than the payment for the goods, and I still don't know what medicinal materials to buy in the first place."

"Scarhead Liu," Wei Shuo said, "Every time you take medicinal materials from the medicine store, you are responsible for it, do you know?"

"I don't know," Scarhead Liu said, "that if I go to the pharmacy and ask, they should be able to tell me."

"Then take us over now, find someone from the medicine shop." Wei Shuo said, asking the other party to lead the way.

Scarhead Liu naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he led the way in front and invited his master to the gate of the medicine store.

I saw people coming and going here, and there was an endless stream of people transporting goods in horse-drawn carriages, not so much a merchant and medicine store that made medicinal materials, but more like another medicine warehouse several times larger than just now.

Although the major medical centers in Kangjing have their own purchase channels, the bulk of medicinal materials are still purchased through the medicine store, so that there is a clear unified price, which can also save a lot of costs and save a lot of energy to take care of the goods.

Scarhead Liu often comes here, and he has long been very familiar with it, so he directly called out, a small guy, and explained the situation.

Seeing that it was Wei Shuo who came in person, the little servant immediately went up and said politely, "Doctor Wei, I didn't expect you to come in person...... This, several shopkeepers of the medicine store are busy with other things, and they don't have time to come to see you, you see...

…」

"I'm not here to see them," Wei Shuo said, "A month ago, your medicine store owed us a batch of medicinal herbs here, I want to take a look, what are they?"

"This, then I'll go to the bill at that time and show it to you." The little guy was also a little unclear, so he left here right now and went to get the bill.

After a while, the other party came over with a thick account book, looked at it to Wei Shuo, and said: "The account is here, but it is clear, a month ago, we did owe you a batch of goods, and now it is still in the warehouse, and it is recorded on it, respectively, twenty catties of cinnamon, thirty catties of tangerine peel, fifty catties of angelica, forty-five catties of bay leaves, and eighty catties of pepper, and eighty catties of star anise......

The more Qiu Shaohu listened, the more he frowned, and said in his heart What is going on, is this a medicine store or a barbecue restaurant? Why are all these spices and medicinal materials in storage?

Wei Shuo's face was ordinary, after all, there were a lot of spices such as stewed meat in pharmacies, which was not surprising, so he said to this little guy, "Since you are in the warehouse, can you take me to see it?"

"Go and see, it's okay, but ......," the little guy said, glancing at Qiu Shaohu in embarrassment.

The rules of the medicine store, but outsiders are not allowed to go close to the medicine storehouse, otherwise once others leak the color and type of medicine, they may leak the prescriptions of other medical centers, which is taboo.

Qiu Shaohu also saw what the other party meant, so he just said, "Just go, I'll wait for you here."

"Then we'll be back in a moment." Wei Shuo said, and walked towards the back warehouse with Xiao Wu and the others.

Seeing that the other party was walking away, Qiu Shaohu had nothing to do, but also thought about going to the gate to wait, so that it could be cleaner.

As soon as he reached the gate, a man passed by him, and he couldn't help but take a second look.

Then, as in the middle of the wasteland, the alertness of lightning passing through his spine made him suddenly feel a chill.

Because, he has seen the other party, and more than once!
