Coming out of the ordnance prison, Ji Yunchen said angrily: "If you want me to say, just take those witnesses back to Dali Temple to serve and see if they tell the truth." ”

Gu Zhou stopped: "Don't be impatient, and let them be proud for a while and relax their vigilance." Anyway, it will take time for the mine to reply, and what we have to investigate now is whether they concealed the number of ores or stole iron and steel, whether it was stolen ore or iron and steel, and where did the missing part go. ”

Ji Yunchen was depressed: "The problem of the Zhenbei Army has not been solved yet, and the ordnance supervisor is like this, if there is a war, you say, how to win?" It's chilling. ”

Gu Zhou stopped and patted him on the shoulder: "If you find a problem and solve it, it will always get better." ”

Ji Yunchen couldn't be as optimistic as Gu Zhouzhu, and the painful lesson of three years ago was still vivid.

"Really, nothing goes well."

Xu Jiang is dead, Dong Cheng has not been found, and the empirical evidence of the Zhenbei Army's collaboration with the enemy has not yet been mastered, and the truth seems to be in front of him, but this layer of window paper cannot be pierced.

The corners of Gu Zhou's lips hooked up a faint smile: "The darkness before dawn is the most difficult, but the sun always rises, doesn't it?" Be patient. ”

Ji Yunchen nodded, then wait, one day, these ghosts will show their original form.

Jiang Wanning was not surprised when she got the news from Zheng Guan that Hu Bin and Feng Chao were dead, she had expected it a long time ago. She wasn't worried that the clues would be cut off like this, and the focus of Gu Zhou's investigation was not how Jia Liu died, but where the weapons supervisor was so boring.

In the evening, Jiang Shi and Lin Ruoruo came back together, and Lin Ruoruo didn't seem to be very happy.

Jiang Wanning asked Jiang Shi with her eyes, Jiang Shi spread his hands, he didn't know, he asked, but Lin Ruoruo ignored him.

Jiang Wanning asked Brother Ah to leave first.

"Dr. Lin, are you encountering any incurable diseases?"

Lin Ruoruo shook her head: "I only learned today that the pharmaceutical company held a meeting today, and the newly opened several pharmacies were notified, and they sent people to go, but they didn't notify us Sanxitang, and our application for membership had already been handed in." ”

Jiang Wanning said with a smile: "What's this, Mu Xiu Yulin, will inevitably be jealous, look at which pharmacy in the capital has a business that is comparable to our Sanxi Hall, it can only be said that the current president is jealous of Xian and can not be a person who does big things." ”

"That's right, but the problem is, they can't join the meeting, they are excluded, if they join forces to deal with us, such as controlling medicinal materials and not giving us the goods, won't we be blind?"

"In fact, it's already happening. The chai hu and rehmannia in our shop are almost gone, I asked Ah Ruan to find a medicinal herb merchant, and the herb merchant replied that it was out of stock and asked us to wait, but Ah Ruan inquired that other houses had arrived, but they didn't give it to us. ”

"When?"

"Just for a few days."

Jiang Wanning smiled coldly: "Since they don't give the goods, then let's start the medicinal herb business ourselves." ”

If you have money, you are afraid that you will not be able to buy the goods? Isn't it okay to ask the government for approval?

Jiang Wanning said that she would do it, and went to the medical department early the next morning to ask for approval, and the official of the medical department promised to let her get the approval in two days. As a result, when Jiang Wanning went again, the official of the medical department said that there were already more than a dozen medicinal herb merchants in the capital, and they could not approve any more, for fear of disrupting the market.

Who has ever heard that medicinal herb merchants still have control, and medicinal materials are not salt, tea, copper and iron, and belong to the materials controlled by the imperial court.

Besides, didn't they all agree the day before yesterday?

Jiang Wanning took out a few pennies and pushed them over: "I hope it will be convenient for adults." ”

The official of the medical department looked at the number on the penny, and was very moved, but he didn't dare to ask for it, so he couldn't do it: "It's not that the official doesn't help, it's really an order from above, and it won't be approved this year." ”

Can't impress five hundred taels? A small medical officer has such a big appetite? Or was someone deliberately trying to embarrass her?

The thing couldn't be done, Jiang Wanning thought about it and went to Dali Temple.

After Gu Zhouzhu heard about it, he sneered and said: "It's nonsense, how could the medical department issue such a ridiculous article, I'm afraid that you have been targeted, don't worry, I'll find someone to ask and see what the problem is." ”

Jiang Wanning said lightly: "I'm not in a hurry, I really can't do it, I'll buy an approval from the existing medicinal herb dealer." ”

Just spend a little more. She is not short of money now, Xiangyufang, Baicuilou, and Sanxitang all make money, and there are a lot of them, not to mention the daily gold, there are also thousands of taels.

Gu Zhouzhu: Uh......

It's really rich.

"I don't have to, if it really doesn't work, I can get it done by saying hello." If he can't do this little thing, he, the Dali Temple, will be in vain.

"Then it's troublesome."

Gu Zhou frowned: "Wouldn't it be a point for you and me to say the word trouble?" ”

She had something to do to come to him, and it was too late for him to be happy.

Jiang Wanning was speechless, the relationship between her and Gu Zhouzhu was too delicate now. She knew what he wanted, but he didn't say it, through a layer of window paper.

However, if he really made his words clear, she should be the one who should be worried.

Is it a good promise? Still not agreed.

Although she also likes to be with him, it is not the same thing to like to be with him.

After Jiang Wanning left, Gu Zhou stopped and entered the palace and asked Imperial Doctor Yang from the Imperial Hospital to inquire.

Imperial Doctor Yang said: "The lower officials really know some inside information about this matter, Dr. Jiang joined the Imperial Hospital, and became the deputy judge as soon as he came, how many people in the Imperial Hospital have survived all their lives and can't even be a doctor, can you not be red-eyed?" I heard that Yuan Zhang sent Imperial Doctor Shen, an apprentice who originally meant to belong to him, to be the deputy judge, so I waited to report it, but Dr. Jiang intervened. ”

Gu Zhouzhu understood, the medical department was originally subordinate to the imperial hospital, no wonder the medical department wanted to card Jiang Wanning, it must have been the envoy of the Zhang Hospital.

So Gu Zhou stopped and went back to find out about the medicinal herb merchants in the capital, and then went to find the envoy of the Zhang Academy.

When the envoy of the Zhang Yuan saw Gu Zhou stop coming to him, he panicked and greeted him with a smile.

"What kind of wind blew Master Gu here?"

Gu Zhou stopped smiling: "The official is going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Lord Zhang, someone reported to Dali Temple that there was a problem with the medicinal materials imported from the imperial hospital, and the official had to come here." ”

Zhang Yuan's heart became more and more panicked, and he forced himself to calm down: "How is it possible? The medicinal materials imported from the Imperial Hospital have passed through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, supervised at all levels, and inspected at the customs, and there is no way to make mistakes. ”

"Really?" Gu Zhou stopped holding the teacup and gently lifted the tea lid.

"If you don't believe me, check it."

"This official heard that the largest medicinal herb dealer in the capital is your nephew Zhang Jin, and the medicinal materials of the Imperial Hospital are also provided by Zhang Jin, is it true?"

Zhang Yuan's face flushed: "My lord, it is true that Zhang Jin is the nephew of Xia Guan, but his medicinal materials are the best, and the price is reasonable." ”

"Whether the price is reasonable and whether the medicinal materials are the best are easy to check, it depends on whether the scriptures can stand up to inspection."

Zhang Yuan didn't dare to say anything, this so-called reasonable, that is, everyone turned a blind eye, the medicinal materials provided by Zhang Jin were indeed two or three percent more expensive than those of the people, but if Dali Temple held on to this matter, saying that he was full of private pockets, he couldn't shout injustice.
