Chapter 309: The Pharmacy Seeks the Truth
Lu Bu and Gao Wei drank very happily, during which the proprietress of the wine shop came over several times to curry favor with her, but a pair of eyes only focused on Lu Bu's face.
Lu Bu ignored it, and talked loudly to Gao Wei.
Gao Wei also stared at Lu Bu's face, feeling very jealous of such a heroic face.
"You woman, it's fake to care about the villain, but it's true that you care about the friend of the villain's lady." When the proprietress came over to inquire again, Gao Wei deliberately said with the intention of drinking.
The proprietress was also a person who had passed through the wind and waves, snorted, and simply twisted her face and leaned over to Lu Bu's face.
"This prime minister is so handsome, he must be loved by women in the palace, and he will often come to the shop in the future, how about the little girl must greet him carefully?"
Although there is no shortage of women around Lu Bu, it is the first time he has encountered such behavior, knowing that the proprietress is deliberately fighting with Gao Wei, she still blushes and hurriedly turns her face sideways.
Gao Wei almost sprayed the proprietress in the face with a sip of wine.
The proprietress deliberately snorted at Gao Wei again, twisted her waist and walked away.
Gao Wei was worried that the shopkeeper of the pharmacy would be unhappy when he came back and found that he was not there, so after drinking a few more glasses, he was about to get up, and Lu Bu followed behind.
At this time, Lu Bu had already made up his mind in his heart.
The shopkeeper of the dusty bamboo pharmacy is surnamed Jin.
When he returned, Lu Bu and Gao Wei had just returned.
Lu Bu saw that this person was also wine-colored, and he was still holding a black cloth bag in his hand.
After a few words with Gao Wei, the golden shopkeeper staggered to the back room, probably wanting to rest.
Lu Bu excused himself to go for convenience, and followed behind the golden shopkeeper.
The golden shopkeeper went into the back room and placed the cloth bag on the table. Then, with a push of his hand, he pushed the packets of Chinese medicine that had been piled up on the table to the ground, and sat down and carefully opened the cloth bag.
Inside were three full ingots of silver.
Looking at the silver, the face of the golden shopkeeper turned into a huge walnut.
It is worthy of the silver from the palace, and the date and the year name of Emperor Renzong are very clear on it. Even people who don't love money can't help but touch it a few times when they see it.
After weighing it in his hand a few times, the golden shopkeeper was ready to put it away.
At this moment, Lu Bu walked in.
The golden shopkeeper was startled and hurriedly covered the cloth bag with his hand.
"Where did the strong man come from? To buy medicine, you need to go to the front. ”
Lu Bu didn't speak, but with one hand, he had already pulled out the short halberd under his ribs and gently placed it on the table in front of the golden shopkeeper, and the cold halberd was facing the golden shopkeeper's chest.
"Does the golden shopkeeper recognize this?"
The gold shopkeeper immediately believed that he had encountered the robber, and his body shook and he almost slipped off the chair.
"Okay, good man Hugh wants to be like this, this store is a small business, and there is really not much wealth."
Lu Bu sneered.
"Ben Hou is only here to clarify one thing, if the gold shopkeeper is willing to tell the truth, Ben Hou will not hurt your life."
Hearing that Lu Bu was not asking for money, the golden shopkeeper's heart relaxed.
"Dare to ask the strong man what is the matter?"
Lu Bu leaned down and stared at the face of the golden shopkeeper.
"Did anyone come here to buy arsenic the other day?"
The face of the golden shopkeeper instantly turned the color of pig liver again.
"A strong man can't talk nonsense, arsenic is a poison banned by the imperial court, how can a small shop sell it to others?"
Before the golden shopkeeper's words fell, Lu Bu had already grabbed the scarf on the top of his head, and the small crescent hook that flickered in the cold light was like a cold long snake attached to the neck of the golden shopkeeper.
The golden shopkeeper was instantly frightened and shrunk into a ball.
"The hero spares his life, the villain has indeed never sold poison. If you don't believe it, you can go to the front and ask Gao Wei. ”
Lu Bu forced a look at his face.
The golden shopkeeper felt that Lu Bu's gaze was even more terrifying than the halberd placed on his neck.
"The hero will let go first, and wait for the villain to think about it carefully." The golden shopkeeper pointed to the halberd, and said in a trembling voice.
Lu Bu moved the halberd back a few centimeters.
The golden shopkeeper let out a sigh of relief and tried to make a thoughtful appearance.
"A few days ago, someone came to the shop to pick up some medicine stored here, and the villain didn't know what the ingredients of this medicine were, but the man said that this medicine was poisonous, and the villain should be extra careful. Due to the friendship of friends, the villain had to ask him to store it here temporarily. ”
Lu Bu's eyes lit up.
"But what about Yang Yi?"
"The good man knows this man?"
Lu Bu was overjoyed.
"But there's still medicine here?"
"Father-in-law Yang stored three packs of medicine in the small shop, and took two of them a few days ago, and now there is still one pack, the hero wants to see it, and the villain will take it." The golden shopkeeper hurriedly pointed to a wooden box in the room.
Before the golden shopkeeper could make a move, Lu Bu had already waved his halberd to cut off the lock on the wooden box.
There were some miscellaneous items in the wooden box, and at the bottom, Lu Bu felt a medicine bag wrapped in a thick coarse cloth. When it was opened, there was some black powder inside, giving off a pungent strange smell.
"But this thing?"
The golden shopkeeper nodded hurriedly.
"Hero, then Yang Gonggong said that this medicine is very toxic, if the hero takes it, he needs to be careful, don't eat it by mistake."
"Don't ask for it." Lu Bu rewrapped the medicine bag, put it in his personal pocket, and told the golden shopkeeper, "Don't mention this matter to anyone, if Yang Yi comes to get it, it will be said that he has been robbed." ”
"Yes, yes, the hero just takes it, and the villain knows what to do." Where did the golden shopkeeper dare to stop him, and nodded again and again.
Lu Bu was still not at ease, and pointed to the front with his finger, signaling that this matter should not be mentioned to Gao Wei.
The gold shopkeeper will understand.
"Don't worry, Gao Wei has been in the shop for many years, and the villain also knows that his lady is in the palace, so he will not embarrass him."
"That's fine." After Lu Bu finished speaking, he walked out of the house.
After returning to the front and having a brief conversation with Gao Wei, Lu Bu took his leave.
Gao Wei sent Lao Yuan, and did not forget to tell Lu Bu to tell Caiju and ask her to rest assured in the palace.
Although this man and Caiju are very incompatible in appearance, it can be seen that he still misses Caiju very much.
However, Lu Bu didn't have time to go back to the palace, he had to find a way to figure out the ingredients of this medicinal powder immediately.
Lu Bu went to Kaifeng Mansion.
At this time, Zhanzhao and others from Kaifeng Mansion attended Shen Pu's wedding banquet and had just returned from the yamen of the Criminal Department.
"Where did Tang Zhuangshi find the medicine, but it is related to the Qinglian Nunnery?" Zhan Zhao didn't know what was happening in the palace, and thought that Lu Bu was still running for the matter of Qinglian Nunnery, so he asked.
"Brother Zhan Hugh wants to ask more, just help me find the truth about this drug." Lu Bu urged.
Lu Bu didn't want Lord Bao to know about this, otherwise he didn't know how much time it would be delayed, he just wanted to find the whereabouts of Diao Chan and Chen Yuniang as soon as possible. And this Yang Yi is most likely the person behind Concubine Jin.
Seeing Lu Bu's eagerness, Zhan Zhao didn't ask any more.
"It's okay, Tang Zhuangshi is here for a while, Zhan still has a few friends in the capital, wait for me to ask."
"Thank you!" Lu Bu arched his hand and said.
Zhan Zhao left.
Lu Bu had just sat down when an errand officer suddenly ran in.
"Tang Zhuangshi, Miss Xing'er heard that the strong man is back, so I came to see him."
Some people died, but not completely......
