In ancient times, pharmacies and medical centers were generally separated. The clinic is mainly responsible for seeing patients and prescribing prescriptions, and doctors sitting in the hall often need to carry a medicine box to visit a doctor.

As for the pharmacy, the shopkeeper and the young men may know a little bit of medical science, but they are not responsible for seeing doctors, but only for selling medicines. The patient took the prescription that he didn't know who was outside and sent it to the pharmacy, and the guys in the pharmacy were taking the prescription. If you don't have a prescription and just say what you need, they will sell it.

Renxintang is a pharmacy with a shopkeeper and a small guy, not big. It is located outside the Dongzhi Gate of the Imperial Palace.

Renshindo is a little different from ordinary pharmacies. There is a slight difference between the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper of other pharmacies, that is, the shopkeeper of Renxintang is a real doctor. It's not a simple general medical theory, but a prescription that can be prescribed. Generally, no one asks him to prescribe a prescription, that is, poor people, who have minor injuries and illnesses, are not willing to spend more money on a doctor, so they will come to him directly to see a doctor, and grab some medicine by the way. The reason is very simple, the shopkeeper's name is Qian Kemu, twenty-nine years old, and he can't find a job in the Chinese medicine industry.

Ancient times are different from modern times. If you want to be a doctor in modern society, you can work in a hospital after completing your studies. In ancient times, if you want to be a doctor, in addition to clever means, there is also a special condition: you must look old. An old Chinese medicine doctor with average medical skills and a young Chinese medicine doctor with superb medical skills, the common people generally subconsciously choose the old Chinese medicine doctor, and if you want to say why, that is, everyone thinks that the old Chinese medicine doctor has more experience.

The shopkeeper of Renxintang carved wood, a thin and tall figure, and a pair of hands that were very large, like two pu fans, looked a little incongruous. My ancestors practiced medicine for generations, but they lived in poverty and left no wealth.

Qian Kemu's father died when he was twenty-three years old. And Qian Kemu came to Nanjing when he was twenty-eight years old and opened this Renxintang pharmacy. In just five years, from scratch, he has laid a foundation with his bare hands, which can be described as a lot of ability. In the past five years, no one knows what Qian Kemu has done and how he made a fortune. The people in the surrounding realm were curious, but they couldn't ask anything.

The fifth watch day is the time when the rooster crows, and it is also the time when the civil and military officials go to court. Ordinary people generally get up at the fifth watch, so the shop vendors generally start to clean up early before the fifth watch, open the door when they should open the door, and go to the street when they should go to the street.

At present, there is still about a quarter of an hour before the fifth watch, and in the Renxintang pharmacy, the young man has begun to pack up and prepare to open the door on the fifth watch.

The young man's name is Li Er, eighteen years old, not tall, not short, not fat, not thin, and a face that no one can find in the crowd. At the moment, he was wiping the counter with a rag. The shopkeeper sat at a small table in the corner, holding a teacup in his hand, and closing his eyes to recuperate.

"Shopkeeper" Li Er said coldly, "There is a letter from the Heavenly Palace before the Great Front, saying that the master of the small door may go out of the palace at any time to do business, so we should pay attention, do you say that we need to meet with the master of the small door?"

Qian Kemu opened his eyes slightly and picked up the teacup, "No, who knows how many pairs of eyes are staring behind him?" Zhu Chongba won't just let him out." Taking a sip of tea, the shopkeeper put down the teacup again, "You haven't seen the little door master, I can see it, it's still a nine-year-old child, it's hard to say whether you can pass Zhu Chongba's pass, it's not appropriate to contact it too early."

"Well, too" Li Er thought for a while.

The work in his hands did not stop, and the pharmacy fell silent.

"Oh, oh... "I don't know whose rooster crows on the street, and the fifth watch has arrived.

Li Er put down the rag in his hand, turned around, and removed the door panel of the pharmacy piece by piece and put it aside. Pull open the door of the pharmacy. When I looked up, I saw a fair-skinned child standing in front of the pharmacy, about eight or nine years old, wearing a palace eunuch suit, obviously waiting for a while, and still with a little dew on his body.

"It won't be such a coincidence" Li Er was stunned for a moment, and said in his mouth: "Little father-in-law, you... Are you taking the medicine?"

Asked tentatively, Li Er turned sideways, gave way to the gap, and motioned for the little father-in-law to come in. At the same time, he coughed loudly and said "uh-huh", which was intended to remind the shopkeeper to take a look.

In fact, as soon as Li Er spoke, Qian Kemu opened his eyes, and he was secretly vigilant in his heart. 'Little father-in-law?' I'm guarding the gate for five days, I don't know who it is. ’

The little father-in-law walked into the pharmacy and said, "I'm looking for your shopkeeper."

'It's really him!' Qian Kemu saw it and recognized it, it was the new little door master Xu Ruyi. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he secretly complained in his heart, "What did Lao Liu do, the little master had just left the palace, and it was the time when he was piercing, so he sent them to me, didn't he make trouble for me." ’

Seeing that the shopkeeper's expression was unnatural, Li Er looked at Qian Kemu suspiciously, and pouted.

Qian Kemu nodded slightly, with a solemn expression on his face.

Li Er and Qian Kemu have lived together for many years and know each other very well. With a few simple actions, Li Er also knew the identity of the little father-in-law in front of him.

Qian Kemu stood up, "The little one is the shopkeeper of this Renxin Hall, I don't know what the little father-in-law has to do?" with a smile on his face.

"Hmm" Looking at Qian Kemu, Xu Ruyi nodded, hmm, reached out and took out a small silver horn from his arms, turned back to Li Er and said, "This is four coins of silver, you help me go to buy some buns and snacks nearby, our family hasn't eaten yet." ”

Xu Ruyi's meaning is obvious, he wants to break away from Li Er and talk to the shopkeeper alone.

"This... Li Er took the silver and looked at the shopkeeper.

"Go, I'm here," the shopkeeper nodded.

"Okay" Li Er saw the shopkeeper's agreement, so he didn't say anything, took the silver and walked out.

Seeing Li Er leave, Qian Kemu hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand, "Little father-in-law... ”

"Wait. Xu Ruyi waved his hand, turned around and closed the door of the pharmacy, and then said, "I want you to help me prepare a pair of medicines, you must do it, otherwise I will find Jinyiwei to check you!" After speaking, Xu Ruyi looked at Qian Kemu fixedly, waiting for his answer.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave Xu Ruyi seven days to do things, and now two days have passed, on the first day, Xu Ruyi pretended to be a eunuch and walked on the street for a day to inquire about various news. The next day, he spent the day planning. Now on the third day, he has come to this Renxin Hall. Xu Ruyi was not sure if this Qian Carving Wood could fulfill his requirements, but he could only choose Qian Carving Wood. Because by inquiring, he felt that Qian Kemu must have some secrets. Xu Ruyi didn't know what this secret was, but he could use Jinyiwei to check it to threaten Qian Kemu to help him. Other pharmacies and medical clinics are in business, and Xu Ruyi has nothing to threaten them, so he can't be scared.

It seems that the little master doesn't know who I am, it's just a coincidence. Qian Kemu pondered for a moment, "I don't know what the little father-in-law needs to do?"

"I want you to fill the medicine"

"What medicine?"

"Medicine that drives people crazy!"

Qian Kemu's brows furrowed: "I don't know where the little father-in-law is going to be used?"

"Hehe," Xu Ruyi chuckled, "Don't ask, you shouldn't ask." Listen to your tone, are you worthy of it?"

Qian Kemu thought about it, nodded and said, "Yes"

"Okay, good" Xu Ruyi nodded with satisfaction, "It's good to match, we have five taels of silver here, is it enough for your medicine?"

As he spoke, Xu Ruyi took out five taels of silver from his arms and handed it to Qian Kemu.

took Xu Ruyi's silver, and Qian Kemu put the silver into his arms. I took a piece of oiled paper from the counter, held it in my hand, and came to the medicine cabinet. Grab a handful on the left and a handful on the right, and in less than five minutes, the medicine will be dispensed.

Wrapped the medicinal herbs in the oil paper and handed it to Xu Ruyi, "The little father-in-law put it away, fry three bowls of water into one bowl of this medicine, drink it before going to bed, and on the second day, the person taking the medicine will be ignorant of his mind and act stupidly." ”

Xu Ruyi looked at the medicine bag, and did not reach out to take it, but said, "Can it be cured?"

"At least I can't cure it, and I haven't heard of anyone who will. ”

Xu Ruyi took the medicine bag and walked to the door of the medicine store.

"You haven't seen me," Xu Ruyi said lightly before going out.

"The villain was not feeling well today, so he didn't open the door, but just sent Li Er to buy some food. ”

"Very good" Xu Ruyi nodded with satisfaction, and walked out of Renxin Hall with the medicine bag. Heading east, he went straight to Li Shanchang's mansion.

Xu Ruyi went out for less than a moment, and Li Er came back with food.

"Shopkeeper, what about people?" Li Ersi didn't see Xu Ruyi.

Qian Kemu didn't take a stubble, stretched out his hand to close the door, and the door panel was packed piece by piece, before he said, "Let's go, find me with a pair of crazy drugs." ”

"Crazy medicine?" Li Eryi was stunned, "For whom?"

"He didn't say," Qian Kemu rolled his eyes, "Don't say it, this little master is not very old, and he still has a bit of discipline in speaking and doing things." ”

As he spoke, he took out five taels of silver from his bosom and tossed it in his hand, "I also gave five taels of hush money." ”

"Yo he, I can eat something good today~" Li Er grinned...

At this time, it was already dawn, and Li Shanchang's Mansion, that is, the house slave Yuan Gong on the Korean Mansion, had already started his work early.

Standing in front of the Korean Mansion, Xu Ruyi looked up, took a deep breath, and stepped forward and knocked on the knocker...

"Oops" The porter Lao Ma heard someone knocking on the door, and hurriedly opened the door to greet him, and secretly wondered in his heart, "Who is this?" Since Hu Weiyong's case, everyone is afraid of having a relationship with Li Shanchang, so Li Cunyi occasionally comes to see his brother, but he usually pushes the door and never knocks.

Pushing open the door, Lao Ma saw a white and innocent little eunuch standing in front of the door, Lao Ma still had rules, and bowed down, "Little father-in-law, are you from the palace?"

Xu Ruyi's face was grim, and he took out a gold medal from his arms, and shook it in front of the old horse, "I'm looking for Han Gong"

The old horse sweated on his forehead, "Rong Xiaotong said" turned around and walked back to the house, "Alas, I don't know if it's good or bad." ’

Xu Ruyi stood in place and waited, quietly thinking about what he was going to say to Li Shanchang for a while. The effort was not great, and the porter came out of the house again, "The little princess comes with me, and the master is waiting for you in the study." ”

"Youlao" Xu Ruyi nodded.

Following the old horse, he walked around and walked to the door of a study and stood still.

"The master is waiting for you in the study, the little father-in-law will go in by himself, and the old slave will retire" After the old horse finished speaking, he bowed and turned to leave.

After calming down, Xu Ruyi raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.

"Please come in" A suave voice came from the study.

Xu Ruyi pushed the door in, took the door with his hand, and looked up, an elegant old man was sitting behind the bookcase, looking at him quietly, the old man was Li Shanchang.

"Slave Xu Ruyi, I've seen the Korean duke" Xu Ruyi gave a salute and said in his mouth.

"En" Li Shanchang nodded, but he didn't get up, "The emperor called you?"

Xu Ruyi nodded, and shook his head again, "Yes and no." ”

"Oh," Li Shanchang stretched out his hand and scratched his nose, "what do you mean?"

Xu Ruyi coughed lightly and said, "The emperor wants your life, let the little one do it." The little one didn't dare to disobey the holy will, but he wanted to make a deal with the Korean Gong. ”

A smile flashed on Li Shanchang's face, "Little guy, you dare to do something that pretends to pass on the holy decree, you are not small." ”

Li Shanchang always knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to kill him, and he was already ready. He understands Zhu Yuanzhang. Either don't do it or never do it. Zhu Yuanzhang will never kill himself alone, and the whole house, including his younger brother Li Cunyi's family, will never leave a single person.

It's just that the little eunuch in front of him suddenly wants to make a deal with him, which makes him a little surprised, and a little funny, 'What can I, Li Shanchang, do with a eunuch?'

Xu Ruyi took out the gold medal given by Zhu Yuanzhang again from his arms, put it in front of Li Shanchang, and said to himself, "The identity of the slave and the Korean duke is very different, and I dare not deceive the grandfather." The emperor's will to the slave maid is to interrogate Ding Bin, but I think the grandfather should know what the emperor means. ”

Li Shanchang stretched out his hand and picked up the gold medal in front of him, looked at it, and said, "Transaction, that is, exchange, tell me what can you give me?"

Xu Ruyi looked at Li Shanchang's eyes and said, "Is Li Fei's life enough?"

Li Shanchang's eyes burst with light, and he stared at Xu Ruyi, "Then what do you want?"

"I want my grandfather and my grandfather's younger brother Li Cunyi to take the lives of everyone in the mansion except Li Fei, and my grandfather has to do one thing for me. ”

"Phew. An old man in fancy clothes suddenly stood out from behind the screen on the west side of the study, and scolded in his mouth: "Just because you are a hairless little eunuch, you have come to ask for more than 70 lives in our family? Let's not talk about whether you can save Fei'er's life, even if Zhu Yuanzhang wants to kill us, you have to get a holy decree! Let us do it ourselves to fulfill his good reputation, why?!"

"Cunyi, let this little eunuch finish talking first. Li Shanchang glanced at the old man who suddenly appeared, and said softly.

"Hmph" Li Cunyi snorted coldly and looked at Xu Ruyi coldly.

The sudden appearance of Li Cunyi made Xu Ruyi stunned for a moment, but he still opened his mouth and said, "The emperor wants the life of the grandfather, the grandfather must not be able to run, and the two of you must not be able to run away from the whole house." But back then, the grandfather followed the emperor to fight in the south and the north, and made great contributions, and the emperor always had a love in his heart. ”

Xu Ruyi said, and took out a small medicine bag from his arms, "This is a pair of crazy medicine, three bowls of water are fried into one bowl, and after taking it, people can suffer from madness." A normal Li Gongzi Emperor will not let go, but a crazy Li Gongzi Emperor may not necessarily be killed. It's better to be crazy than to die, and then find two mothers-in-law to pass on the lineage to this madman, and the emperor should also allow it, what do you think?"

Li Cunyi and Li Shanchang looked at the medicine bag in Xu Ruyi's hand and fell silent.
