Chapter Thirty-Eight: Achieving Results

"Medicine jars?" Ye Yuanzhou was a little surprised.

The term "medicine jar" was originally used to describe people who are weak and need to take medicine for many years to recuperate.

However, since the time of the first emperor, he worshipped a powerful national teacher, who not only knew astronomy and geography, but also knew the number of yin and yang techniques, and knew alchemy and medicine.

Later, this habit of taking pills gradually spread from the palace to those dignitaries in the capital.

Many court officials with heads and faces learned from the appearance of the first emperor, and admired the body tonic elixir to the extreme, and the warlocks who were famous for a while became the most sought-after nobles in the high-ranking families.

Ye Yuanzhou's father, Ye Jin, has always scoffed at this, the Ye family has practiced martial arts for generations, and thinks that a little effort will get a little gain, so he is extremely disgusted with all the elixirs that claim to have a miraculous effect on strengthening the body, and by the way, he also set a family rule - anyone in the Ye family who dares to use hoarding pills to take medicine and crooked ways to improve their bodies and martial arts will be expelled from the house, and they will never get along with each other from old age to death.

And after the death of the first emperor, the problems caused by taking pills gradually became apparent.

Some of the so-called alchemists may have some real skills, but naturally there are also those who pretend to be gods and deceive people.

Many people initially took various pills to prolong their lives and strengthen their health, but later they gradually found that their bodies not only did not improve, but also became more and more deficient due to the large consumption of various pills.

What's more, after discovering that the elixir did not work, I wanted to stop and stop taking the medicine, but found that unconsciously, I had developed an addiction to the elixir that was difficult to quit.

After taking the pill, it will be refreshed, once it is stopped, it will quickly wilt, and some people will scratch their hearts and livers, as if they are crawling with insects all over their bodies, gnawing and biting everywhere, which is unbearable, even if the flesh of the face and belt are scratched, it is still useless.

After the current saint succeeded to the throne, he also spent a lot of effort to rectify the folk who sold dog meat on the head of a sheep, saying that it was alchemy but actually selling medicine, but it had little effect, and it was repeatedly banned.

So gradually, the people began to call the kind of people who had no way to quit the pill "medicine jar".

Generally speaking, most practitioners sneer at the elixir fairy formula, and few people are willing to touch it, even if the "miracle doctor" is just a quack doctor who is famous and deceitful, he will never turn himself into a "medicine jar".

Du Ruo's family has practiced medicine for generations, although her father Du Zhong was such a deviant in her previous generation, and she refused to inherit her father's mantle, but Du Ruo has been with her grandfather since she was a child, and she was bored when she was young, so she used the medical books at home as a script, so she was very familiar with Wangwen Wenche.

Even if it was only a brief glimpse, the clue could be seen in the man's complexion.

"The so-called 'Sage' is just a puppet." Du Ruo said the guess in Ye Yuanzhou's heart at this time, "I thought that this 'miracle doctor' who sold red face dew should be the so-called 'owner', or at least the cronies of the 'owner'."

Now it seems that he really guessed wrong, not to mention that the 'miracle doctor' is a cronie, not even the 'owner's own person, and he still needs to be hung by someone with pills to let him out to do things. ”

Du Ruo sighed, with some regrets.

I thought I was catching a big fish, but I didn't expect it to be just a shrimp.

"It's okay, you can always touch the melon along the vine, you can always touch the head." Ye Yuanzhou was calmer than her, "Isn't there still a thousand miles of fragrance here?"

If your previous speculation is correct, Senlika is looking for a suitable woman to be taken back as a medicine person to refine Hongyanlu, and the 'Sage' is to sell Hongyanlu to a suitable woman, and then take it away to refine Jiaorong Cream after it is 'simmered'.

Let's cut off the source of their medicine man first, and we are not afraid that their behind-the-scenes inspirers will not be in a hurry.

As long as they are in a hurry, they will show their feet and give us a chance. ”

Du Ruo thought about it and felt that what Ye Yuanzhou said was reasonable.

On the way back, they have discovered an interesting phenomenon, before the women in Pingcheng County were still wearing hats to go out freely, and many women wore hats just to make others think that they were a beauty.

And this time they came back from Yuanchuan County, although it was only a few days, there were no women in the streets and alleys who were active outside, and even if there were, it was just an old woman who was over sixty years old.

It seems that Ye Yuanzhou arranged for people to go out to pretend to be ghosts, pretending to be flower thieves to scare people, and the effect was really good.

As long as these women do not dare to go out at will for the time being, those people will inevitably not be able to capture people, and then they will have no way to continue to hide in the corners and act secretly, but will have to resort to other methods.

This time, they braked quietly, blocking each other's path, and letting the other party jump over the wall in a hurry.

"After drinking tea for a while, I'll accompany you to Sima Mansion for a walk." Ye Yuanzhou also had another consideration, "It's been a few days since your servant arrived, and you, the master, have not shown up, and the people below will inevitably have no bottom in their hearts, you should go back and take a look." ”

Du Ruo knew that his servants had all arrived here, but he was stirred up by the corpse of the young lady of the Shi family, the beauty ointment, and the red face dew, and he didn't bother to think about it.

Now listening to Ye Yuanzhou's words, I also feel that it makes sense.

The boundary of Songzhou is unfamiliar to all of them, and they can't help but be confused when they first arrive.

At the moment, whether it is the "Divine Doctor Sage" in Yuanchuan County, or the mysterious shopkeeper of the Qianlixiang Teahouse here, she, a person who has no martial arts, can't help, and if she goes, it will add chaos, so it is better to obediently obey the arrangement.

In terms of autopsy and investigation, she thinks that she is not inferior to Ye Yuanzhou, and she is even confident that she can be slightly better, but she is not effective in using troops to deploy those formations.

So the rest of the things were entrusted to Ye Yuanzhou, and after eating tea, Du Ruo went back to his Sima Mansion, which he was not very familiar with.

She didn't plan to take a lot of people with her when she went out this time, but her father finally felt a little uneasy, so he arranged several places that needed to be more secure.

In addition to Du Ruo's personal servant Du Qu and the little maid Du Zhi, there is also a cook with outstanding skills, two tall and strong grandmothers, two nurses, and a gatehouse.

These people have served in the Du family for generations, and they are absolutely reliable, and with them, Du Ruo can make the family feel at ease when he goes out to work.
