Chapter Ninety-Three: Retreat as Advance

Dong's father knew that his son was smart, and this was up to his mother. But he followed his own persistence, and the two points added together, sometimes really made him crazy as a father. Like now he even said that he would take the initiative to confess?

Dong Junqin saw his incomprehension from Dong's father's eyes, so he explained in a low voice: "Father, since the palace is already looking for evidence, whether we use corpse oil or other irrelevant things, they will be convicted sooner or later." There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, and instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative. ”

Dong's father was also desperate, and there were dozens of people in Chongcaotang, but he couldn't just die, so he had to let him continue: "What plan do you have?"

Dong Junqin: "Although Chongcaotang is suspected, the seven-petal leaf is indeed a much-needed herb in the palace. I don't think even if they found out the corpse oil and punished us, so many seven-petal leaves wouldn't be destroyed all at once. Shang Pharmacy will definitely secretly leave some in case of emergency. Therefore, it is up to us to destroy it, and it will be completely destroyed, and it will catch the Shang Pharmacy Bureau and the Taiyi Department by surprise. At that time, in addition to reporting to the emperor as soon as possible to arrest us for questioning, they will also look for new sources of goods at the same time.

Now that the harvest season of the seven-petal leaves is not long away, many farmers and merchants still have a lot of stock in their hands, although the condition is not the best, but just in case, Shang Pharmacy will buy from those people. ”

Father Dong understood: "On the one hand, the seven-petal leaves of Chongcaotang were suddenly destroyed, on the one hand, the Shang Pharmacy and the Taiyi Department questioned the Dong family, and on the other hand, the seven-petal leaves of other merchants were seamlessly connected. Three things happened together, and when the time came, Emperor Chenyang was not only suspicious of whether our seven-petal leaves had worms, but also whether the imperial court had begun to collude with officials and businessmen again. Once this doubt arises, Chongcaodo has the opportunity to cry out for injustice. Are you retreating for advance?"

Dong Junqin nodded: "Father is clear." ”

Uncle Zhang listened to their conversation, and had a new question: "But who helped us destroy the seven-petal leaf in the palace? Not to mention the seven-petal leaf in the palace, we can't even reach the seven-petal leaf of Boss Zhao next door." ”

Dong Junqin said: "Do you remember the girl Alu I brought home last time?"

Father Dong and Uncle Zhang naturally remembered this girl.

Dong Junqin: "I didn't let her go back to Yanjiao with me, because I was worried about the current predicament." ”

Father Dong: "Do you want her to help you destroy the seven-petal leaves in the palace? Is she willing to take risks? And she entered the palace?"

Dong Junqin: "Naturally, the palace gate can't be entered, but our seven-petal leaves can come out." ”

Father Dong thought for a while and nodded: "That's okay." As long as we strongly appeal, Shang Pharmacy will send the seven-petal leaf to the Tai Yi Department for a tripartite inspection. ”

Dong Junqin: "Yes. As long as things leave the palace and enter the Imperial Doctor's Office, Ah Lu will have a way to blend in. And the distance between the capital and Yanjiao is just enough for us to communicate through the air. ”

Uncle Zhang: "What about the destruction of this batch of goods?"

Dong Junqin: "I need someone to secretly connect Boss Zhao and the Monk Pharmacy." ”

Two: "Boss Zhao?"

Although they were puzzled, as soon as the words came out, the two immediately figured it out.

Shang Pharmacy is looking for a new source of seven-petal leaves, and Yanjiao is the closest. And Yanjiao, except for Chongcaotang, belongs to Boss Zhao's largest land. And looking at Boss Zhao's attitude today, he was ready for a long time, and once Chongcaotang was convicted, his things would be able to ascend to the top.

However, there is one point, Boss Zhao's tea garden is not far from Chongcaotang, why did he not have an insect plague in Chongcaotang, which is really business-friendly.

Therefore, for the emperor, the suspicion of collusion between officials and businessmen in this business cannot be cleared. At the same time, the chance of Chongcaotang's rehabilitation is also greater. Therefore, Boss Zhao's business with the monk pharmacy must be successful.

But the people in Chongcaotang can't get out, so does this also require Ah Lu's help?

Hearing this question, Dong Junqin had to rejoice, fortunately, Nangong Lu proposed that he follow Alu to Luozhou that day. According to his temperament, secretly matchmaking is not a problem. Hmph, I really never thought that I would really need Nangong Lu's help one day.

Dong Junqin had previously inquired about Dongli concealing the fact that a prince had entered the Central Plains with the mission, and both Dong's father and Uncle Zhang knew about it. In addition, listening to Dong Junqin's description of Nangong Lu's words and deeds in Lulin before, it is very appropriate for him to do this.

Uncle Zhang: "Then what should we do besides appealing?"

Father Dong: "What else can I do, I should eat and drink." Waiting for the court to summon. ”

Uncle Zhang couldn't believe it, he looked at Dong Junqin again, but saw that Dong Junqin was also smiling and nodding. Uncle Zhang felt that he was dazzled, why did the father and son, who had always been estranged from each other, suddenly look like "you understand me"?

After the three of them talked, Dong Junqin entered the tea garden to check. He took two or three worms, and then his fingertips lit up slightly, and the two worms were gone. Uncle Zhang was curious, and just as he wanted to ask, Uncle Zhao came from the back to open a meal.

After seeing it left and right, Dong Junqin left the tea garden with Dong's father and Uncle Zhang and returned to the inner courtyard.

After the meal, Uncle Zhao reported: "Vice General Zhou said that the Imperial Medicine Division did not find any worms, but he still suspects that there is something wrong with our seven-petal leaf." They were going to get the Immortal Terrace to intervene. ”

Father Dong snorted, obviously the expected result.

Dong Junqin went to the backyard, saw Ah Xiang, and stepped forward to ask Song Jiyue about her situation. Ah Xiang listened to the question and stood up. Dong Junqin saw that her eyes were evasive, and she glanced at Dong's father from time to time, and her heart chuckled.

Dong Junqin: "Father, Jiyue her?"

Father Dong rubbed his temples and said half-loudly: "After you left last time, I was afraid that something would happen at home, so I sent Ji Yue to the mansion of Lord Gao to live temporarily." Xiao Qi and Dr. Lu also followed. ”

Dong Junqin was surprised, he didn't expect this. I didn't expect Father Dong to start arranging so early and taking precautions. Looking at it now, he really expected it. Thinking of Fang Cai's father's criticism again, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

It's just that Song Jiyue, a girl who has not left the cabinet, is sent to a man's house in the high court......

Father Dong: "In addition to us, Gao Daren will say a few words to Ji Yue every time he comes to deliver the decree." There are no acquaintances in the capital who can believe unconditionally, and even if there is, it is not safe for both parties to rush to send Ji Yue when the situation is uncertain.

Ji Yue is a loyal martyr, no matter what Chenyang and the imperial court want to do with us, they will not move Ji Yue. And Master Gao is a celebrity around Chenyang, so it is safer to send it to his house. ”

Also, in case the heavy grass hall is really raided, Song Jiyue is estimated to be arrested in the palace at that time. Although it will not kill her, God knows if the demons will secretly work against her.

Although Dong Junqin was still unsure which side of the High Court was, based on past exchanges, he had not been controlled by the demons for the time being.

Dong Junqin: "My father is thoughtful. ”

Father Dong glanced at him, snorted lowly, don't look over, and stopped talking.

Dong Junqin never knew that his father had such a side, and he couldn't help but feel funny.

The four of them entered the study and sat down, preparing to sum up the next action.

Although Uncle Zhang has a lot of field work on weekdays, he is more familiar with the pattern of Beijing, but Uncle Zhao, the housekeeper. He believes that a strong appeal, while an option, is likely to be counterproductive: "After all, this is not the first day of the incident, and it is too late for us to appeal now." But I have a plan, as long as I continue to send people to ask about the situation every day, the rest will remain the same. ”

Dong Junqin: "You say. ”

Uncle Zhao: "Listening to the old man and the young master, although the review of the Shang Pharmacy is under the pretext of confirming whether our seven-petal leaves have hidden pests, in fact, no one cares about the pest itself, but is looking for other evidence that can be used."

In this case, we might as well take advantage of this to fan the flames and spread the rumors, so that the palace thinks that the seven-petal leaves of the heavy grass hall really have insects.

Once a herb has worms, it is easy to infect other strains. Moreover, the things in the warehouse of the Shang Pharmaceutical Bureau are all for the upper people to eat, and the Emperor Taishang is still in critical condition, I believe that as long as the Shang Pharmaceutical Bureau suspects that there are really worms, they will immediately arrange for the transfer of the seven-petal leaves out of the palace.

Of course, this cannot be said by our own people. I see that there are so many officers and soldiers outside, they check their homes inside and out every day, and they have to report the situation every day when they are finished. ”

Father Dong and Dong Junqin thought about it and felt that it was feasible.

Dong Junqin: "In this case, it's better for me to help them again." ”

The three of them were puzzled: "Who to help, what to help?"

Since the imperial court made a fuss about the insect plague and did not cast a forbidden magic circle, Dong Junqin naturally wanted to use some hands and feet to help them make a big deal about the insect plague.
