The little pharmacy in troubled times

Chapter 31

Tang Leyun lit the candle on the desk and sat there for a while before Lan Duo brought someone over.

As soon as there were footsteps on the steps, she pulled out the bolt and opened the door.

General Lan stared at her at the foot of the steps and wiped his beard fiercely, "Where is Prince Duan?"

Tang Leyun said, "When the county magistrate came, the prince also left."

He was a third-rank man who could not be taken away. A genuine seventh grader was taken away.

Lan Duo was so angry that he waved his hand and shouted: "Take her away!"

Tang Leyun knew that Lan Duo and Ji Peizhi had a grudge, so he came in person this time because he had suppressed his anger and made up his mind. Embarrass Ji Peizhi.

She didn't want to give him this chance - she picked up the lock hanging on the inside of the door, stepped out, closed the door and locked it. After a whole set of actions, the two guards responsible for taking her would walk to the door.

Tang Lejun walked around them in a flash, descended the steps neatly, and asked, "General Lan, where are we going?"

Although she was tall, her face was young and she looked particularly weak among a group of rough men.

The soldiers who originally wanted to push her were afraid, and some even quietly took a step back.

Lan Duo took two steps forward and then stopped again. The big hand holding the handle of the knife was so hard that his knuckles turned white.

After two breaths, he finally passed by Tang Lejun and headed into the town.

Tang Leyun smiled inwardly. He was not too confused. He knew that it would be embarrassing to attack an obedient little girl personally.

In addition, Ji Peizhi is the son of a dragon and a phoenix grandson no matter what, he doesn't dare to go too far even if he is angry to death.

...

A lot of people gathered in the vegetable market, at least one to two hundred people.

Ji Peizhi was also there. He was wrapped in a thick moon-white cloak and stood tall and tall between Butler Bai, who was holding a sword, and Yuan Bao, who was holding a torch. His expression was cold, which was in sharp contrast to the panic-stricken common people.

Tang Leyun looked carefully for a moment in the flickering firelight, and found Tian Jiarong and his son in the back row - Aunt Tian and several children were not here.

This shows that although Lan Duo is stupid, she is not crazy, and the situation for her and her neighbors will not be too difficult.

. The county magistrate Lu Qianshan said: "General Lan, all the residents on the street have been invited, and no one has been missed."

Lan Duo nodded and winked at the guards on the side.

The guards came out and shouted loudly: "No talking, everyone shut up!"

The people fell silent instantly.

Lan Duo said: "Now, I have a few questions to ask the general. If you answer them well, you can go back to sleep. If you don't answer well, don't blame me for being rude."

"What are you asking? We don't know anything!"

"That's right!"

"General, why do you call it a good answer, and why do you call it a bad answer?"

...

People started to commotion.

The yamen servants and guards shouted together: "Silence, silence!"

Lan Duo's face turned even more ugly. After the people became quiet, he asked his first question: "Have there been any suspicious Jianghu people in the past few days?" Shengyun Town?"

Tang Leyun was a little worried. Once someone exposed the fact that she was selling gold sore medicine to Jianghu people and that Yang Xi was buying medicine in her shop, she would be passive.

However, the neighbors were very cautious. The few standing in the front row looked at each other, and no one dared to be the first to speak out.

Lan Duo asked: "Why, do you need me to ask the general one by one, where is Huang Lichang?"

Huang Lichang hid behind the crowd and had to get in. He bowed and said: "General, the common people visited relatives yesterday and came back in the evening. As for the Jianghu people..."

At this point, he raised his hand and pointed at a middle-aged man, "The storekeeper Gao of Shengyun Inn must know better than Cao Min."

The storekeeper Gao is Ji Peizhi, who is in his thirties. , his eyes are shining and he is extremely capable.

He cupped his hands and said, "General, this is an official road. Cao Min's restaurants receive foreign guests every day. Jianghus and businessmen are all the same. I really don't know how to answer."

"Yes, yes, my family is like this too. "

General, there are people in the world every day, whether they are alone or in groups."

"I think there is no difference between today and the past.

" He didn't come to the town at all. Isn't there Zhuangzi over there? "

"Yes, yes."

...

Lan Duo knew that he had asked nonsense, and looked at Ji Peizhi, seeing the latter's contemptuous eyes, he felt angry again. Jumped up.

"Shut up, everyone!" He yelled, "The prince was assassinated, and the murderer committed the crime of destroying nine tribes. I advise you, the general, to tell you about the suspicious people you saw, otherwise you will all be accomplices! "

The prince was assassinated, a major crime that destroyed the nine clans!

The people were frightened, their faces turned pale, and they looked at each other...

The market was eerily quiet.

Tang Lejun silently paid attention to every neighbor standing in the front row, and was mentally prepared to be paid close attention to by someone.

"General Lan." Ji Peizhi spoke without warning, "Most of the people standing here are serious businessmen. They are busy every day, doing trivial and repetitive tasks. As long as no one fights, the guests will They are all guests, and no one knows which one is suspicious and which one is not. They will only pay attention to special things. For example, if I ask, if Fu'an Medical Center was smashed yesterday, who did it. , there will be results within three breaths."

Yuanbao turned around and asked an old man, "Do you know that Fu'an Medical Center was smashed, who did it?"

The old man looked at Ji Peizhi in panic.

Ji Peizhi said: "Look, although he didn't dare to say it, the point was very obvious. Yes, it was me who did it. Fu'an Medical Center had a medicine shop that was an enemy of me, King Duan, so I personally led people to destroy it. It's gone, Huang Lichang, do you understand?"

Huang Lichang was sweating. "The common people understand clearly."

Lan Duo said angrily: "My lord, the prince was assassinated, but you used this moment to establish your authority for your woman. "What's your motive?"

"I just want to ask General Lan to recognize the reality. There are always guests coming and going in Shengyun Town. As long as the guests don't make trouble, no one will remember them. In the same way, those who want to kill the prince are guilty. He will never show up in the town, or even show his face here. "Is that true, everyone?"

"

We only recognize money, not people."

"That's right, with so much work every day, where can I remember where the guests are?"

...

The common people all echoed, their voices louder than before.

Lu Qianshan stared at Ji Peizhi, his Adam's apple twitched, and finally lowered his head.

Tang Lejun breathed a sigh of relief, but she knew that the government would definitely investigate privately. She couldn't hide the fact that she had received Jianghu guests, and she had to find a way to face it.

Lan Duo's face turned livid, and just as he was about to draw his sword, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the official road. This book is compiled exclusively for you by the LK team

A personal guard ran out and came back soon, reporting: "General, the people who went to search various Zhuangzi are back."

Lan Duo stepped down, his whole body was a little more energetic, and he was pacing waiting for each Zhuangzi to bring them back. people.

Tang Leyun looked at Ji Peizhi. Ji Peizhi nodded slightly, and she came over.

Ji Pei said: "Lu Qianshan is a treacherous and cunning person. He will definitely suggest a separate investigation. When Yang Xi arrives, you can say whatever you want to avoid being passive."

Tang Leyun nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice."

Ji Pei said: " It's okay for me to give you two meals and worry about you."

Tang Leyun said: "I hope that the prince can take care of the business of the shop."

Ji Peizhi snorted, lowered his head and stared into her eyes. He said, "I am not afraid of death, but I can't die now, do you understand?"

The distance between the two was very close, and Tang Lejun happened to raise her head slightly, and she could clearly see herself blurred in the two dark pupils.

This is too ambiguous.

She turned her head subconsciously, "If the prince doesn't want to die, he should try my medicine."

Selling medicine is the first step in curing the disease. Although it is unlikely, she still wants to try it.

Hearing this, Yuan Bao smiled sarcastically, and his eyes subconsciously fell on Tang Lejun's profile - Tang Lejun's profile was very beautiful, and his delicate skin was equally white and moist in the firelight - he was stunned for a moment.

Ji Peizhi was indifferent. He looked away indifferently and said, "Thank you, no need."

Tang Leyun's first test failed.

But it doesn't matter, he is not in a hurry to die anyway, and she is not the one who feels uncomfortable, so she doesn't have to worry about it.

Several carriages drove in one after another, Yang Xi's carriage was third in line, and there were a group of soldiers on both sides, which was obviously the key target of prevention.

Tang Leyun's mood was a bit complicated.

The emperor, queen, and prince all died unjustly. As a reader, she didn't want to see Yang Xi's family being exterminated. Now that the plot has undergone major changes, I wonder if they will have a different ending?

Yang Xi got out of the car, followed by a woman.

The woman was about twenty years old, with beautiful appearance, petite body, big and round eyes, and extremely cute.

Tang Leyun curled his lips. It turned out that the number one scholar liked this type. No wonder he wasn't interested in Tang Leyin.

Lan Duo said, "Excuse me, everyone. The prince was assassinated, and I had to do it as a last resort."

A middle-aged man said, "General Lan, you are so polite. If such a big thing happens, no matter how much trouble we go through, we don't dare to complain."

"Thank you for your strength." Lan Duo stroked his beard with satisfaction, listened carefully to his subordinate's report, and then turned his attention to Yang Xi.

He asked: "When did Mr. Xiao Yang come to Shengyun Town?"

Yang Xi said: "In the afternoon, I don't know what time it is, but I bought things at the grocery store and the drug store. They must know it."

Zhao Ji Grocery Store The boss said: "It should be around Shenshi."

Tang Leyun said just right, "Yes, I also remembered that I sold a bottle of gold sore medicine at that time."

Lan Duo asked pitifully: "Golden Sore Medicine! Why are you talking about it now?"

Tang Leyun said, "General Lan is asking about the suspicious Jianghu man. There is only one person buying medicine, and he only buys one bottle. But there is something suspicious to me. I thought I should report it to the general. I suspected that the Crown Prince had come to my shop. They came to my shop with a group of three people and more than a dozen guards. They said they were looking for Prince Duan. Prince Duan was not at my house at the time, so they humiliated me and left. " Yes."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tian Jiarong also said, "Yes, we saw those people too. They didn't say a word before getting in the car and heading towards Shengyunshan."

"Me too. " I saw it."

"Oh my God, that's the prince!"

"What a pity!"

...

There are indeed many people paying attention to Youjian Pharmacy. They didn't confess Tang Leyun immediately.

Lan Duo asked Ji Peizhi, "Where was Prince Duan at that time?"

Ji Peizhi said, "I was on the way to Fu'an Medical Center."

Lu Qianshan echoed, "I have asked, and the prince was indeed there." I went to Fu'an Medical Center at that time."

Lan Duo had no choice but to let Ji Peizhi go for the time being. "Mr. Xiao Yang, why did you come to Yunzhen?"

Yang Xi said, "The flowers are blooming in spring, and I will take my cousin to Zhuangzi for an outing."

Lan Duo sneered . : "Is this really an outing?"

The girl covered her face with her sleeves.

Yang Xi said: "The rest are my personal matters and have nothing to do with the general. The general has no right to interfere."

Lan Duo said: "I will find out if it is your private matter after checking."

Yang Xi was very calm, "I am just a scholar. I don't have the strength to restrain the chicken, so General Lan just went to investigate, just to clear my name."

Lu Qianshan asked: "Shopkeeper Tang, who arrived at the shop first, His Highness

the Prince?" Tang Leyun said.

Lu Qianshan asked again: "How long was the interval?"

Tang Leyun said: "I didn't pay much attention, probably less than a quarter of an hour."

In fact, judging from the hatred between the Duke of Qin and the royal family, it is not possible for Yang Xi to follow the prince. Small.

Lu Qianshan asked about this time point to remind Lan Duo to pay attention.

In any case, as long as Yang Xizhi and Ji Peizhi were there, their busy night would have been in vain.

Lan Duo understood this. He pressed his temples and tried to wake himself up: "Your Majesty, before the case is solved, please stay in Shengyun Town to avoid missing the imperial edict. As for Mr. Xiao Yang, please go back with this general. Let's go to the capital."

Yang Xi said: "General Lan, I don't understand why I have to go back to the capital when everyone is sleeping in their own villages. According to what Shopkeeper Tang said, there are at least twenty people in the prince's party, and I am the only one. What can a weak scholar with a female family do?"

Lan Duo couldn't answer this question. He couldn't say that you killed the prince because the emperor raped your sister-in-law.

He looked at Lu Qianshan.

Lu Qianshan whispered: "The official thought that after dawn, the adults in charge of the overall situation would come to Shengyun Town. Why not put them in Shengyun Inn for unified supervision first. I wonder what the general thinks?"

Lan Duo wanted to He wanted to show off in front of the emperor, and of course he wanted to return to Beijing early to show his merits, but he also felt that it was absolutely unjustifiable to conclude that Yang Xi had assassinated the prince just because he was not far from the scene of the accident.

At that time, the disgraceful things done by the emperor will inevitably be brought to the table. If one person fails, he will steal the chicken but lose the rice.

Therefore, he felt that what Lu Qianshan said was right. Someone would come as soon as dawn came.

He said: "I will do as you say, take them to Yunsheng Inn and wait for the emperor's order."

...

Tang Leyun and Tian's father and son returned home together. As soon as they arrived at the door of the medicine store, they saw Ji Peizhi accompanied by Lu Qianshan. Came over. This book is compiled exclusively for you by the LK team

. Lu Qianshan said: "Your Majesty, I will send you here. I will say goodbye."

Ji Peizhi ignored him and went up the steps. He raised his chin towards Tang Lejun and said, "Why don't you open the door yet?"

Tian Jiarong and his son looked at Tang Lejun in surprise.

Tang Lejun explained: "Your Majesty is a gentleman, he is just staying here temporarily."

Mr. Tian sighed and took Tian Jiarong to his home.

Tang Leyun blessed Lu Qianshan and quickly climbed up the steps.

Ji Peizhi said: "I have never been a gentleman."

Tang Leyun: "Then you..."

Ji Peizhi lowered his voice and said: "You are right, I am a villain!"

Tang Leyun frowned, "What do you think? What are you doing?"

Ji Peizhi approached her, "A man and a woman are together, what do you think I want to do?"

Tang Leyun saw Lu Qianshan who had not moved, and somewhat guessed Ji Peizhi's intention, but She said nothing, just bumped him with her crotch.
