Chapter 52: Bullying
In the backyard of the pharmacy, new medicines are boiling in the medicine jars, and with the sound of "goo-goo-goo", the snow-white powder floats and sinks on the water.
Lou Si looked at the woman in front of him, and his face gradually became difficult to see.
The "Spring Water Student" of Renxin Medical Center, he had vaguely heard of the previous fame and did not take it to heart. There are more good prescriptions in the Imperial Medicine Institute that have been seen in the Familiar Medicine Institute, and the medicines made in a small medical hall with a small name are not so good that he treats them differently. The reason why he led people to smash Du Changqing's shop was because of the five hundred taels of silver sent by Bai Shouyi.
Bai Shouyi personally came to the door and gave Lou four or five hundred taels of silver, hoping that Lou Si could give Renxin Medical Center some hardship.
Lou Si knew that Bai Shouyi Xiao had been thinking about the Du family's medical hall for a long time, but that Du Changqing was scattered on weekdays, and he was particularly guilty of this matter, so he refused to agree.
Taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others, Lou Si, as an official who identifies medicinal materials, as long as the official seal in his hand does not fall, Renxin Medical Center cannot continue to sell finished medicines, and the matter of moving his fingers is not worth mentioning to him.
To say that in the past, when Old Man Du was still there, Lou Si and the Du family still had some friendship, but now that the Du family has lost, five hundred taels of silver and the face of Master Du, fools know how to choose.
He accepted Bai Shouyi's silver, he came to find fault, how could he seriously identify the color of the medicinal tea, and now Lu Tong's unhurried questioning, he couldn't answer a word.
Lou Si's eyes flickered a few times: "This official identifies dozens of prescriptions of prescriptions every day, how can he remember every prescription of medicine, and don't mess around." β
Du Changqing laughed angrily: "Do you listen to your own words?" β
Lu Tong said: "I see, I thought that an official pharmacy like the Familiar Medicine Institute would record the verification process of every finished medicine sent by it. After all, the verification of over-the-counter medicines is a major event for the medical center, and if the over-the-counter medicine cannot be tested, the medical center has no right to continue to sell other over-the-counter medicines, right, Lord Lou? β
Lou Si broke out in a cold sweat.
This woman spoke sharply and harshly, and hit the nail on the head terrifyingly, and the process of verifying the medicine should naturally be recorded, which he could not deny, and the fact that the medicine was only made did not mean that the hospital did not have the right to sell other medicines......
He secretly glanced at the screen, others didn't know, it was impossible for Ji Xun from the Hanlin Medical Hall to not know.
Lou Si said vaguely: "Yes." Naturally, it is recorded in the book, but it is only the official register of the medicine center, how can it be read by you outsiders at will? β
Lu Tong nodded: "Since this is the case, it is us who trespass." She turned around and said to the Dong family's guard, Shengquan: "Brother Sheng has heard clearly, now the medical hall has no right to sell medicine, and there is nothing we can do about Young Master Dong's illness." β
Lou Si's heart tightened when he heard this, and he only asked, "Wait, what does this have to do with Young Master Dong?" β
Lu Tong looked at him, her eyes seemed to be mocking, and she said, "I was ordered by Mrs. Dong to develop a medicine for Young Master Dong. I never thought that now the medical center is not qualified to sell drugs because of the failure of the drug identification. In the future, Young Master Dong will be disturbed by the disease, which will make Mrs. Dong and Master Dong sad, and I should complain that I am not good at learning and art, and I cannot pass the drug verification in the cooked medicine center. β
"Develop a medicine for Young Master Dong?" Lou Si was a little unconvinced, "Nonsense, even if Young Master Dong is unwell, Mrs. Dong doesn't use the imperial doctor in the palace, how can she use the female doctor of your small medical hall?" β
Lu Tong didn't say anything, only looked at Shengquan.
Shengquan is already a short-tempered person, and he was very impatient to hear Lu Tong and Lou Si say a string of words, and then he heard Lou Si rub and slurred his words, and he snorted at him: "Madame, why do you need to question what you do?" Now that the young master is urgently ill and needs Dr. Lu's medicine, which has delayed the course of the young master's illness, can you afford the medicine! β
The subordinates of Taifu Siqing have always been domineering, and the familiar medicine institute is under the supervision of Taifu Siqing. The angry words startled Lou Si.
Lou Si looked at Lu Tong with a hesitant gaze.
It stands to reason that when Young Master Dong is sick, he will definitely ask the palace doctor to treat him with a sign before he can rest assured, how can he believe in a little-known little doctor girl?
However, Shengquan is Mrs. Dong's right-hand man, and what he says will not be false.
What the hell is going on?
Du Changqing, who was on the other end, saw that Lou Si's face had changed, and he sneered when he hit the snake with the stick: "Lord Lou might as well weigh how many catties and taels his official hat has, whether he can afford the anger of the Taifu Temple." If Young Master Dong really has three longs and two shorts, can you, the herb examiner, still be able to do it? β
His momentum as a fox and a fake tiger was full, and Shengquan glanced at him unhappily, and Lou Si hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, it is naturally important to treat Young Master Dong." Doctor Lu," he turned to Lu Tong, "I'll let you know for a few days about the production and sale of finished medicines." β
"I'm afraid not." Lu Tong shook his head, "Young Master Dong's illness needs to be carefully recuperated, not in one or two days, but at least for three or five years. β
Shengquan narrowed his eyes and urged, "Then there is no time limit!" β
Lou Si secretly hated in his heart, this doctor girl was obviously using the Dong family to put pressure on him. But people had to bow their heads under the eaves, so they had to squeeze out the word "good".
Lu Tong bowed his head at him: "By the way, today, due to Young Master Dong's illness, Lord Lou did not follow the rules and regulations, and the authority of the medical hall to sell finished medicines was relaxed. In order to dispel this untrue statement, he also asked Lord Lou to point out the inaccuracies in the previous 'Chun Shui Sheng' prescription, and Lu Tong would improve the prescription, so that Chun Shui Sheng would pass the inspection, and the medical hall would continue to sell the medicine, and it would not delay Young Master Dong's treatment, which was the best of all three things. β
didn't even want to eat the loss of 'Spring Water Born', Lou Si was bored in his heart, and because he was in the side of the victory, he could only smile reluctantly: "Naturally." β
Lu Tong said to Shengquan: "When the seal of the medicine center comes down, the medicine can be sent to the house." He smiled at Lou Si again: "When you are bothering adults a lot today, you won't continue to delay your business, and you will leave." β
She and Du Changqing left again, leaving one Lou Si standing in place and unable to speak, looking at the backs of these people and unable to say a word.
Ji Xun walked out from behind the screen.
Lou Si came back to his senses and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Medical Officer Ji." "I feel a little worried in my heart.
Ji Xun frowned slightly, and his tone was not very approving: "A medical hall, because of the support of Taifu Siqing, can you be so fearless?" β
Lou Si breathed a sigh of relief, Ji Xun didn't know that Bai Shouyi was bribing in front of him, but he only saw that Lu Tong and Du Changqing were relying on the Dong family's coercion, so they had this prejudice. He said, "Isn't it? The subordinate officials are soft-spoken, and it is not easy to offend ......"
He wanted to pluck himself out, but when Ji Xun heard this, he glanced at him and said coldly: "Seeking his own government in his position, just because he is afraid of the convenience of accompanying him, I am afraid that the familiar medicine will not last long." With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Lou Si stood in a daze for a long time, until the little pharmacist came over to call him back to his senses, then flicked his sleeves and scolded: "This time it really became Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror - not a person inside and out!" β
β¦β¦
After Lu Tong and Du Changqing returned to the Renxin Medical Center, Yinzheng had cleaned up the inside and outside of the shop.
Shengquan greeted the familiar medicine institute and went back to Dong's house to resume his life. Lu Tong asked Du Changqing to take Ah Cheng home to rest, after a busy day, it was getting late, the door of the Renxin Medical Hall was closed, Lu Tong entered the courtyard, and took the sorted medicinal materials to the back kitchen.
Dong Lin's lung disease needs to be recuperated slowly, and having a relationship with the Dong family is of great benefit to today's Renxin Medical Center. At least the pharmacy should always be a little scared.
Yinzheng walked in from outside and said to Lu Tong: "Girl, I sent some to Cao Ye before, as well as our accommodation fee in Wan'en Temple, and we still have forty-five taels of silver left." β
Lu Tong nodded.
Yinzheng sighed: "I didn't think it before, but when I came to Beijing, I felt that this silver was really like flowing water." β
Lu Tong said: "It costs a lot to get some news, not to mention that it will cost some money to get in touch with Cao Ye in the future." β
"Fortunately, the girl is smart," Yinzheng said with a smile: "I have done business with the shopkeeper Du, and in the future, the sale of finished medicines will be divided in half, and the monthly income will be more, so we will not be so tight on hand." β
After talking to Lu Tong for a while, Yinzheng went to sleep in the next room.
Lu Tong took a basin of hot water back to the house, sat down at the table, rolled up his sleeves again, and saw that there was a finger-long blood mark spreading from his right wrist upwards.
That was the trace left by the struggling Ke Chengxing in the Buddha hall of Wan'en Temple before.
She didn't care so much that she soaked her handkerchief in water, wiped the wound, picked out a small bottle from the table drawer, sprinkled some medicinal powder on the scratches, sprinkled and sprinkled, her movements slowed down, and her eyes were a little distracted.
Today, in front of the Wuhuai Garden of Wan'en Temple, that Pei Dianshuai looked at himself and said thoughtfully: "Where did the scars on Dr. Lu's hands come from?" β
In a word, it seems to be suspicious of her.
Although he only had a two-sided relationship with this Pei Dianshuai, he even helped him out of the siege, but Lu Tong always felt that this person was not as kind as he looked. What's more, when they met for the first time downstairs in Baoxiang, he was unscrupulous in his words and deeds to the people in the Soldiers and Horses, and he was full of oppression, and then looked at the look of fear behind Mrs. Dong when she learned of his identity today, this person was definitely not a good person.
Being targeted by Pei Yunyi is not a good thing.
But......
Even if he doubts himself and can't find evidence, he can only give up.
Lu Tong came back to his senses, put away the medicine bottle, ripped off the cuffs again to cover the scars, covered the flower window, and stood up.
Now that Ke Chengxing is dead, let this matter be full of suspicions, but once he privately sacrifices the statue of the former dynasty is confirmed, not only will no one meddle in this case, but the entire Ke family will suffer.
In order to protect himself and his family, Wanfu will only sit on Ke Chengxing's guilt. After all, only when Ke Chengxing dies and the entire Ke family falls, no one will care about the trivial things of their subordinates, and the two thousand taels of rent that they have embezzled will never be known.
As for the others......
Lu Tong's dark eyes reflected the fire of the lamp and candle, and it was clearly extinguished.
The desperate Ke family may place their last straw on the Qi Taishi Mansion.
It's just that......
Whether the Taishi Mansion will help is another matter.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, the people from the Familiar Medicine Center sent an official deed allowing Renxin Medical Center to continue selling the finished medicine.
However, the improvement recipe of "Spring Water Birth" was not sent together.
Du Changqing stood in the infirmary and scolded: "What does the surname Lou mean?" Tyranny Chun Shuisheng won't let us sell, why, don't you even listen to Taifu Siqing's words? β
Yin Zheng passed by, and couldn't help but look sideways: "Shopkeeper Du, what you said is like you are the person from the Taifu Temple." β
Du Changqing choked: "Little girl, what do you know!" β
Ah Cheng said: "Forget the owner, wait patiently for a few days." β
Ah Cheng went back yesterday to rest for the night, and after applying some medicine to his face, he has improved a lot and is in good spirits.
Lu Tong stood in front of the medicine cabinet, grinding the tonic for Dong Lin, and heard the chatter Ge on the opposite side and the ox blacksmith who sold ironware next door, saying that it was yesterday's Qinglian Festival in Wan'en Temple, and someone secretly sacrificed to the gods and Buddhas of the former dynasty, and as a result, the gods and Buddhas appeared.
Yinzheng rolled his eyes, immediately picked up a broom and swept the dust in front of the door, and asked Tailor Ge: "Liar, right?" Uncle Ge, we also went to Wan'en Temple the day before yesterday, but we only knew what was going on, why didn't we hear about such an evil sect? β
Tailor Ge slapped his thigh: "Silver Kite girl, can I still lie to you?" My mother-in-law went up the mountain to burn incense, and lived close to the Dharma hall where the accident occurred, so she could see it clearly, and the group of officers and soldiers rushed inside! It is said that when people die, they are like ghosts, and most of them see the Bodhisattva manifest! β
He spoke so eloquently that even Ah Cheng and Du Changqing were attracted, and the neighboring vendors came closer to listen, Lu Tong lowered his head to sort out the medicinal materials, and a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes.
Rumors always get more and more outrageous.
Naturally, it is also getting farther and farther away from the truth.
It seems that Wanfu's rhetoric has been affirmed by most people, even if it is not sure, it does not want to be related to the previous dynasty.
Tailor Ge was still saying: "The Ke family was originally a good porcelain merchant, but now it is broken, and the people who do business with their family are also unlucky, and they are about to withdraw from the business with other families. β
Aunt Liu of the candied fruit shop said: "Isn't his newly married wife an official?" We also sent candied fruit to their old lady in the shop. It's not over. β
"What do you know," Tailor Ge snorted: "A young and beautiful bride, Lao Tzu is an official, and now he has an accident as a son-in-law, and it is too late to draw a clear line." I heard that Grandma Ke went back to her parents' house yesterday, hey, the husband and wife were originally the same forest birds, and they flew separately when disaster cameββ"
"I've heard about that, too." Sister-in-law Song from the silk shoe shop squeezed in, "The Ke family is now taking the utensils at home to the pawnshop for money in order to compensate for the business." It's no wonder that the Ke family has an only son of Uncle Ke, and there is no one man and half woman left, as soon as Uncle Ke falls, how long can Mrs. Ke last? β
Hearing this, Lu Tong paused.
The silver kite on the other end had already asked casually, "Really?" Does Sister-in-law Song know which pawnshop they went to? Maybe we can go to Taotao, and we can pick up some cheap and good things. β
Sister-in-law Song laughed when she heard this: "Miss Yinzheng, there are good things, but how can you find a cheap one?" No matter how poor the Ke family is, the wearing is also rich. I heard that things were carried to Luyuan Pawnshop on Qinghe Street in the south of the city. The silver kite girl wants to see it, but she can go to see it lively. β
Yinzheng smiled and said, "Then I will definitely go and take a look." β
After some more words, the sun was rising, the number of customers on West Street increased, and the shop vendors dispersed, and Yinzheng put the broom against the wall and went into the inner bunk.
After the official seal of the Cooked Medicine Institute allowed to continue selling the finished medicine, Lu Tong set out to make medicine for Dong Lin, because the prescription of Chun Shui Sheng had not yet been delivered, and there were not as many people in the day as before.
It was almost noon, Lu Tong said to Du Changqing: "There are still a few medicinal materials in the pill for Young Master Dong that are not available in the medical hall, I'll go buy some elsewhere." β
Du Changqing said: "If you ask Ah Cheng to buy it, you can't get it." β
"Ah Cheng's injuries are not yet healed, don't go around." Yinzheng stuffed the handkerchief that wiped the table into Du Changqing's hand, "Don't delay much, don't worry about the shopkeeper Du." With that, he pushed Lu Hitomi out the door.
Lu Yuan's pawnshop is on Qinghe Street in the south of the city, and the "Happy Building" gambling house opened by Cao Ye is also on Qinghe Street. Before going to Wangchun Mountain the day before yesterday, Lu Tong had already asked Cao Ye to explain that Wanquan would be released after Wanfu went down the mountain.
The easiest place in Shengjing to inquire about the news is tantamount to the gambling house and the flower building, these two places are mixed, and there are people from all religions and nine streams, so it is much easier to inquire about the news. Cao Ye is a businessman who only cares about making money, and he may still have a place to use it in the future, and he needs to feed it with silver and return it when he comes.
After all, money can make ghosts grind.
After thinking about it, the two of them had already walked to Qinghe Street, and they saw the Luyuan pawnshop at a glance.
This pawnshop is very large, the ordinary shops along the street occupy the width of three shops, and there are several layers, and the word "Lu Yuan" is carved in gold characters on the ebony, which is extremely luxurious.
I heard that this is the largest pawn shop in Shengjing, and as soon as Lu Tong and Yin Zheng Fang walked in, an old shopkeeper with a kind face came forward: "Miss, but you want to pawn something?" β
Lu Tong said: "I want to buy something." β
The old shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "The girl wants to buy something that is deserved to die?" β
Lu Tong nodded.
The old shopkeeper knows it.
Pawn shops do business, most of them come to pawn for some silver money, and some of these Hakkas who cannot afford to redeem or want to be more silver taels will choose to die. and if there is no redemption at the end of the day, the utensils shall be returned to the pawn. The pawn increases the price of these old items, and sometimes they can be sold.
After all, there are some good things left behind in the industry.
The old shopkeeper asked Lu Tong: "What does the girl want to buy?" β
"I want to buy some jewelry." Lu Tong said: "Is there any?" β
"Yes." The old shopkeeper smiled: "Coincidentally, I only received a batch of dead jewelry in the pawn shop yesterday, and the condition is not bad." If the girl is interested, the old decay will take it for you to see. β
Lu Tong bowed: "Thank you." β
"It's okay, girl, and wait here for a moment." After the old shopkeeper finished speaking, he ordered the young man beside him to go upstairs to pick up the goods, and poured a cup of tea for Lu Tong and the others.
Lu Tong and Yin Zheng sat in the hall downstairs and waited, Yin Zheng held tea in one hand and asked Lu Tong in a low voice: "Girl, what do you want to redeem?" β
Lu Tong lowered his eyes.
"It's nothing, it's just a hairpin."
Yes, Ji Xun is the second male!
