Chapter 197

Chen's Pharmacy.

Chiba Castle is more vast and prosperous than Dongsheng Castle, and Chen's Pharmacy, as one of the largest pharmacies in Chiba Castle, ranks first among pharmacies along with Lin's Pharmacy.

The Chen family and the Lin family, although these two families are not canonized, but the family also has several medical masters in charge, and the two families in Chiba City have a prominent reputation and respected status.

Several people were walking on the road, because of Che Chi Huazong and Che Chi Boyuan, some people kept looking at Zhang Hanlin and others beside them, whispering one by one, guessing = the identity of everyone.

Without being delayed by anything, several people hurried to their destination.

Chen's Pharmacy is not too far from Chechifu, and at the speed of a few people, about a stick of incense, a group of people appeared in front of Chen's Pharmacy.

Chen's Pharmacy, the four finely carved gold-plated fonts are dazzling, and the plaques engraved with the words are all black gold water wood, which are very valuable and look very magnificent.

There are two couplets hanging on both sides, the left is the hanging pot to help the world, and it is for charity.

At this time, there were not many people coming and going to Chen's pharmacy, so Che Chi Boyuan walked in with a few people.

Seeing Che Chi Boyuan, the ancestor of the Che Chi clan, coming, the attendants who entertained him were overjoyed and respectfully welcomed Che Chi Boyuan and even everyone in.

Inviting a few people to take a seat, the attendant hurriedly went to inform the person in charge of Chen's Pharmacy.

Zhang Hanlin and the others sat in a side hall, with a faint fragrance of tea, it seems that this place should be built to receive some patients with extraordinary status.

The crowd sat down, and soon the departing attendant followed an old man with a sheep's beard to the side hall.

As soon as he entered the hall door, the old man with a sheep's beard laughed loudly: "Brother Boyuan, how can you come to this place full of medicine today, and you didn't tell me in advance, if I had known, I should have gone to the restaurant next to me to book a seat to have a few drinks with my brother." ”

The old man with a sheepbeard is the person in charge of Chen's pharmacy, named Chen Lie, fifty and six years old, with extraordinary medical skills, he is a master of medical Taoism, and he is also the second person in Chen's traditional Chinese medicine skills.

"Haha, Chen Lie, for many years, this drinking problem hasn't changed, you must know that I don't like to drink the most. Che Chi Boyuan replied with a smile.

It can be seen that the two know each other very well.

"If you don't drink at a meal, the wine worm in your stomach won't spare you. Chen Lie sighed, and then said to Che Chi Huazong: "Huazong, you haven't come to see me for a while." ”

"Grandpa Chen, I've been a little busy lately, so I'm coming to see you when I'm free. Che Chi Huazong respected Chen Lie very much and said with a smile.

Chen Lie looked at Bai Shen and Zhang Hanlin, and asked Che Chi Boyuan, "Who are these people?"

"It's a guest from Dongshengcheng. ”

Che Chi Boyuan did not reveal the identities of several people, this matter is very important, and fewer people know about the appointment.

"Brother Boyuan, why are you here today?" Chen Lie knew that Che Chi Boyuan would not move around casually, especially bringing outsiders here, thinking that there should be something important, so he asked straight to the point.

Che Chi Boyuan restrained his expression, and said with a straight face: "Brother Chen Lie, here's the thing, a year ago, Hua Zong accompanied another young man to Chen's Pharmacy to buy medicinal materials once, and the next few times that young man came here to buy medicine by himself, I want to know what the medicinal materials he purchased?"

Chen Lie's face showed a thoughtful look after hearing this, and if he wanted to know the purchase records, he needed to check the pharmacy account book records.

"This thing may make it difficult for you, but ......"

Che Chi Boyuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chen Lie and said, "Brother Boyuan doesn't need to say much, come with me." ”

Chen Lie didn't hesitate, the ledger record book was relatively secret, and there were too many discrepancies in and out of medicinal materials every day, and it was extremely cumbersome to query, if it was a different person, Chen Lie didn't want to refuse for sure.

But Che Chi Bo is far different, firstly, he has a high level of cultivation, a strong family background, and more importantly, the friendship between the two for many years makes Chen Lie unable to refuse.

Under the leadership of Chen Lie, several people passed through several pharmacies, as well as several consultation rooms, and finally came to the account room.

The ledger is managed by a pharmacy guy named Zhao Lilin, and all the accounts are personally reconciled and backed up by him every day.

"Old Chen. ”

Zhao Lilin watched Chen Lie arrive, hurriedly put down the work in his hand, and got up to greet him.

"Xiao Zhao, take out the account books of the account room for the past two years, and check the flow of medicinal materials. Chen Lie waved his hand.

Zhao Lilin said respectfully: "Old Chen, wait a minute. ”

After that, Zhao Lilin got up and took the key, entered the compartment inside, and after about half a pillar of incense, Zhao Lilin walked out with a stack of account books, and then put it on the table.

"Old Chen, these are all the account books from the past two years to the present, and when do you want to check the accounts. Zhao Lilin asked.

Chen Lie looked at Che Chi Boyuan, and Che Chi Huazong immediately said: "The specific time is a little vague, it was about a year and a half ago, when I first purchased medicinal materials, I left my name. ”

"Check it, Che Chi Huazong's purchase record. Chen Lie commanded.

"Yes. ”

Zhao Lilin was very familiar with this, and after rummaging for a while, he found a record about Che Chi Huazong.

"Old Chen, Young Master Chechi, you spent three hundred and twenty taels of silver on the purchase of medicinal materials last time, this is the specific medicinal materials and quantity. Zhao Lilin handed the account book to Che Chi Huazong.

"Zhang Gongzi. Che Chi Huazong took the account book and motioned for Zhang Hanlin to look at it.

Chen Lie looked at Che Chi Huazong's attitude towards Zhang Hanlin, and guessed in his heart what Zhang Hanlin's identity was.

And looking at the people around Zhang Hanlin, they are all extraordinary,

Coupled with Che Chi Huazong's attitude towards them, and Che Chi Boyuan was able to accompany him in person, it was enough to see that these people had unusual backgrounds.

Zhang Hanlin took a closer look, there were three taels of broken intestine grass, one tael of arrow poison wood, one tael of artemisia on the snow, three mandala plants, two halves of oleander, two taels of Qianjisan, one seven-star begonia, three taels of turtles, and four taels of peacock gall.

Eight!

Why are there only eight?

Zhang Hanlin frowned, these eight poison properties, they have studied and determined, the only uncertainty is the last component, but there is no record in this account.

"Zhang Gongzi, what's wrong?"

"What's going on?"

Looking at Zhang Hanlin's frowning brows and very ugly face, everyone hurriedly asked.

"We have studied the eight poisons recorded in this account, and we will check the other records, the records of all the medicinal herbs purchased. Zhang Hanlin returned the ledger to Zhao Lilin.

"Steward Zhao, I have to trouble you, the next few purchases of medicinal materials should also keep my name, if you don't see if there is the name Yuntian. Che Chi Huazong thought about it.

Cloudy sky, Chiyou's, cloudy sky.

Zhang Hanlin and others knew this name for the first time.

Che Chi Gongzi was polite. Zhao Lixin continued to rummage, this time it was a little long, everyone waited anxiously, Zhang Hanlin looked a little worried with a worried face.

After a while, Zhao Lilin took the five account books, put them aside separately, and then said: "Che Chi Gongzi, in addition to the account book I just read, there are five records, the first four times are your name, and the last time is the name Yuntian."

Zhang Hanlin hurriedly checked, the first four accounts were the same as the medicinal materials recorded in the book that Zhang Hanlin had read before, but the quantity had increased a lot, but the types were exactly the same, and they were still eight kinds of poisonous materials.

Putting the four ledgers aside, Zhang Hanlin picked up the last ledger to check it.

White aconite, Morinda officinalis, ginkgo seed, flower snake, mustard seed.....

There are twenty kinds of medicinal materials recorded, none of which are the same as the previous eight poisons, Zhang Hanlin looked at these poisons, and the characteristics of the medicinal materials appeared in his mind, and he soon speculated that these medicinal materials should be the introduction of Chiyou's Yuntian refining medicine, that is, the detoxification pill given to Qin Yue every once in a while.

But why is the ninth poison of the plague poison not recorded?

The eyes of Bai Shen, Che Chi Huazong and others were focused on Zhang Hanlin, Zhang Hanlin shook his head, his face was extremely ugly.

The hearts of the people chuckled and sank to the bottom.

Zhang Hanlin never thought that the person of Chiyou Clan Yuntian would be so cunning, only buying eight of the poisons, and the last one might be bought elsewhere, and it must not be in the name of Che Chi Huazong and Yuntian, if he can think of this, he will definitely not leave any clues.

The mind is like a demon!

Zhang Hanlin made such an evaluation for Chi You's Yuntian, this person's scheming is terrifying.

"Zhang Gongzi, now ......" Che Chi Huazong wanted to speak a little and stopped, this matter was caused by him, and now it has led to this step, Che Chi Huazong is anxious.

"Transcribe these herbs first, and we'll talk about it when we go back. Although it did not achieve the expected harvest, Zhang Hanlin knew that this was not the time to be sad and sad, so he immediately reined in his heart and said.

"Good. ”

Saying that, Che Chi Huazong asked Zhao Lilin to transcribe the names of the medicinal materials, and then Che Chi Boyuan left Chen's Pharmacy with everyone after saying goodbye to Chen Lie.

Che Chi Boyuan and the others left, and Zhao Lilin in the account room said: "Old Chen, who are those people brought by the ancestor of the Che Chi family? I don't know if I have seen it, I looked at the attitude of Che Chi Gongzi towards the young man who was called Zhang Gongzi. ”

Chen Lie thought about it, shook his head and said: "I don't know, but the identities of these people are not simple, not to mention the young man, the identities of the three middle-aged people behind him are only afraid that they are also extraordinary, although a few people talk very little, but between their demeanor and demeanor, although the three of them are very respectful to Brother Boyuan, there is no fear in them, more of a lofty admiration for his martial arts, the pursuit and the mentality of defeating it." ”

Zhao Lilin listened a little mysteriously, and smacked his tongue: "Old Chen, do you mean that those three people have the same combat power as the ancestor of the Chechi clan?"

"Perhaps, it's no surprise that these three people are also Seven Realm Grandmasters, because the aura on them is the same as many Grandmasters I've seen. Chen Lie stroked his beard.

Although he guessed it, Zhao Lilin's heart was still beating fiercely, and the three unfamiliar grandmasters were a little frightening.

"Where did they come from? They don't look like we're from Chiba City. ”

Chen Lie didn't answer, he was also a little curious in his heart, there were only a few grandmasters in Chiba City, and they all had several faces, and they were definitely not from Chiba City.

In addition, looking at the fact that a few people are not dusty, they should not have come from a very far place, and according to Chiba City, the closest ones are Dongsheng City and Lincheng.

There is only one Grandmaster Realm in Lincheng, and that is the City Lord of Lincheng, so there is a high probability that the three of them are not from Lincheng.

A few days ago, it was rumored that there was a new grandmaster in Dongshengcheng, and now there are four grandmasters in Dongshengcheng, so Dongshengcheng is qualified to come out of the three grandmasters.

Therefore, the three of them should be from Dongsheng City.

However, Chen Lie didn't think much about it, and told Zhao Lilin to pack up the account book, and then left.

Along the way, there were many people, and it was not easy to talk, so everyone was silent.

Back at Chechifu, everyone sat down.

Che Chi Qianxiong and Che Chi Wanxing hurriedly asked, "Father, how is things going?"

"Listen to Zhang Gongzi's explanation. Che Chi Boyuan waved his hand

The two of them are quiet.

Without waiting for everyone to express the doubts in their hearts, Zhang Hanlin opened his mouth to explain: "This person is extremely cunning, the poison of the plague is refined from nine kinds of poisons, but the name of Che Chi Gongzi is left on the account book for the first five times, but there are only eight kinds of medicinal materials he purchased, and these eight kinds have been studied by my Zhang family, and there is one way to exhaust without any clue." ”

"What were those medicinal herbs on the last ledger for?" Che Chi Huazong asked suspiciously.

Zhang Hanlin exhaled a breath of turbidity and said: "The last time I bought medicinal materials, this person kept his name, but the medicinal materials he purchased were the introduction to refining medicine, that is, the medicinal materials that were regularly given to Qin Yuefujun to suppress the toxic antidote pill. ”

"How can this be? With only eight materials, he can't refine the poison pill?" Bai Shen frowned.

"Everyone can also see that Chiyou Yuntian is a demon with a lot of scheming, I guess he may have deliberately not bought the last poison to refine the plague poison in Chen's pharmacy, but under the guise of this, he bought the last refining medicinal material in other pharmacies to hide from the world. Zhang Hanlin smiled bitterly and said his guess.

Yin Tianxing spit out four words, "Extremely insidious!"

Everyone had this idea, and they thought that they had arranged everything in their minds before planning this matter, which was to cut off all sudden possibilities.

Plan before you act.

After reading poetry and books for more than ten years, Zhang Hanlin deeply understands this sentence, and feels that he is very skilled in understanding and using it, but today he finds that he is nothing compared to Chiyou Yuntian.

It is believed that when he was preparing to use Che Chi Hua Sect, he had already begun to lay out and strategize, and when he was refining the poison pill and planning the layout, he had already thought of a way out, as well as all the possibilities of things that would happen in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hanlin only felt ashamed.

Che Chi Huazong's eyes turned sharply, and he proposed: "Zhang Gongzi, since he deliberately left a hand to buy the last Chinese medicinal material in other pharmacies, then we just need to seriously investigate the sales records of medicinal materials in other pharmacies." ”

"What we can think of, that person must also think of, the name he left when he went to buy medicinal herbs is definitely not your name, and he will definitely not leave his real name. Let's not mention how many pharmacies there are in Chiba City, even if we know which pharmacy it is, he started refining the poison pill a year and a half ago, which means that he started buying medicinal materials in that pharmacy a year and a half ago, but how many medicinal materials are sold in a day in the pharmacy, there is no specific name, and it is very difficult to check it, plus we are still not sure which pharmacy he bought the last medicinal material, so it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to investigate now. ”

"Alas. ”

Zhang Hanlin's words made everyone's mood more and more depressed.

"Hanlin, isn't there any other way?" Yin Tianxing didn't believe that Zhang Hanlin would admit defeat, this kid had a lot of things in his brain.

"Let me think about it. Zhang Hanlin scratched his hair, his mind was spinning rapidly, but his mind was always unable to concentrate.

"What is there to think about, it's all at this time, there is no shortcut to take, then you can only use the death method. ”

A cold voice came from all directions, and as soon as the words fell, a black-robed figure suddenly appeared in the hall, it was the Heavenly Machine Pavilion Inspector Elder who had hidden his figure before.

"What do you suggest from your seniors?" asked Che Chi Boyuan.

Che Chi Boyuan is now more anxious than Zhang Hanlin and the others, no matter how you say it, this matter is caused by his grandson, no matter what, it can't be washed away, if this matter can't be solved perfectly, not to mention that it will cause the lives of the people of Dawn to be ruined, and Dongsheng City and even Chiba City and even further away will be affected.

In this way, he and his ancestors have been running the Chechi clan for a lifetime, but they will be ruined, and they will be sinners for thousands of years, and they will be spurned.

Others, including Zhang Hanlin, also looked at the black-robed Inspector Elder.

The black-robed man still said in an indifferent tone: "Since there is no easy and easy way for the time being, why don't you stay here and wait for death?"

"Senior, are you saying that you will use the stupidest method to carefully investigate all the pharmacies in Chiba City?" Zhang Hanlin's eyes widened.

"Do you have any other way?" The impatient tone, Zhang Hanlin couldn't understand why the Tianji Pavilion headquarters would send him to solve this matter.

When everyone heard this, they were all a little stunned, and they thought that there would be some good way for the black robe to do it, but they didn't use this most primitive, stupid, and cumbersome method.

As Zhang Hanlin just explained, the number of medicinal materials sold in the pharmacy every day is definitely quite a lot, and there is no specific name, which is very difficult to query.

If you investigate all the pharmacies in Chiba City, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the time wasted will not be less, and you may not find anything, the key is that there is not much time left for them now.

"Senior, this method is feasible, but now we don't have that much time. Zhang Hanlin said what everyone thought in their hearts.

Even Che Chi Boyuan, Che Chi Qianxiong, Yin Qingyun and others nodded appreciatively.

"Stupid!"

Zhang Hanlin could feel the disdainful and contemptuous eyes of the black-robed man looking at him under the black veil.

I don't know if it's Zhang Hanlin, or everyone here, everyone is a little embarrassed.

"If there are any obvious characteristics of an ordinary person in the shape of that Chiyou clan, or on his face, you can start from this aspect. The black-robed man said lightly.

(Good night.) ）
