"Recently, the doubling of the price of traditional Chinese medicine in Beijing has caused trouble in the palace and the harem. The empress believes that medicinal materials are the basis for saving people, and the high price monopoly is actually squeezing the people. I heard that Miaochundang negotiates the price with the government, and the quality is high

The price is very conscientious, so I specially ordered Miao Chun Tang to take over the position of pharmacist of Tai Hospital!"

The official recited almost the same meaning in the imperial edict slowly and then scanned the hall, "Who is Jin Yue?"

"It's a daughter of the people." Chu Lingyue pretended to be nervous.

The official just nodded: "The Queen has also heard about your previous efforts to punish and punish Zhang Tianqi. Your Majesty wants me to praise you in person and tell you to work hard and down-to-earth. You will have a great future."

After saying that, he looked at Liu Qinian and asked the young eunuch to bring a plate of money to him: "I guess this is Miss Liu who can bring the dead back to life, right? The empress said that you are a malleable talent, and she wants you to practice medicine if you have the opportunity in the future.

, will personally pave the way for you and introduce you.”

The appearance of the official made the already lively Miaochun Hall even more crowded.

No one expected that Miaochundang, which had a lot of crises on its head a while ago, would now be going so smoothly!

After seeing off the official, Chu Lingyue immediately congratulated Liu Qinian: "Qinian, congratulations! Your medical skills have been recognized by the Queen. Now that you are rewarded by her, your reputation will definitely rise! Even if there is no recommendation from the Queen, all of you will

It’s enough to live on your own!”

Unexpectedly, Liu Qinian heard this and gave her a hug: "Without Ah Yue, I wouldn't be where I am now. Ah Yue, thank you, I'm really happy!"

After saying some more heartfelt words, she insisted on dividing the money equally, but Chu Lingyue had no choice but to give half of the money to Shopkeeper Jia for custody on the grounds that it would be used as a reserve fund for the hospital.

Unexpectedly, before the festive atmosphere lasted long, people from the Zhang family came to the door.

The leader is Zhang Tianqi.

"I said why things are so abnormal, you must be behind it! Now that our drug dealer's business is down, we are not having a good time, and you can't have a good time either!"

Chu Lingyue was planning how to kill the Zhang family. Seeing that they were going to go all out to fight, Liu Qinian stopped Liu Qinian who was about to report to the official and directly added fuel to the fire:

"Who doesn't want you to live a better life? We are not the ones who bought out your goods and then resold them. Your Zhang family has such a big fortune and loses 800,000 taels in one loss. You see, our Miaochundang seems to be able to take out 800,000 taels.

Does it look like ten taels?"

"The position reserved for the Tai Hospital was also replaced by the Queen Mother's order. What does it have to do with us? If you are really afraid that your Zhang family will not be able to make a living, the worst is to join Miaochuntang. When we become bigger, we will also ask you to join the Chamber of Commerce.

That’s your dividends.”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Tianqi was so angry that his neck stiffened. He took the long stick from the servant's hand and smashed it on the door. The window paper on the door was immediately beaten to pieces.

"Don't fart there! Our Zhang family is so majestic, how can we give you any small excuses? In short, I will drag you to the grave even if I die!"

After saying this, everyone in the Zhang family rushed forward, making huge crackling noises, and every sound was like the sound of silver clanging.

After smashing for half an hour, the Zhang family finally gave up.

"Qinian, you can go report the crime now." Chu Lingyue, who had been indulging them, finally spoke.

Hearing this, Zhang Tianqi sneered and put his hands on his hips: "Report a crime? My aunt is a noble concubine. Go and ask the person sitting in the yamen if he dares to take care of it!"

"Let's just say that Concubine Zhang allowed her family members to do evil and deliberately destroyed the pharmacy dedicated to the hospital."

"Shut up! You said our Zhang family would not catch us if we rebelled against the Yamen!"

"Did I say go to the Yamen to report the crime?" Chu Lingyue asked suddenly. Zhang Tianqi, who was still angry, was a little unable to react, and Liu Qinian also hesitated.

"Such a big thing, of course, we have to report it to the Yulong Division." She smiled from ear to ear.

Zhang Tianqi was stunned.

It is true that small cases cannot reach the level of Yulongsi, but... if it is to sue Concubine Zhang...

Isn’t that a sure thing?

What's more, a few days ago, the Zhang family was "invited" to Yulongsi for a few cups of tea because they were framed for poisoning medicinal materials.

Realizing that he was going to be doomed, Zhang Tianqi was really willing to give up.

Kneeling down to Chu Lingyue, he clasped his hands together and raised them above his head and bowed several times:

"Miss Jin, this is our personal grudge, right? There's no need to go to Yulongsi, you can resolve it in private however you want!"

"You are quite worldly." Chu Lingyue said calmly, and after Zhang Tianqi had finished bowing and kowtowed a few more times, she turned to Liu Qinian:

"It's a pity. I only like to push people along and add fuel to the flames. I don't like doing favors. I wish you a happy new year. Thank you for your hard work."

When the news reached Yulongsi, it happened to be heard by Baili Fengling.

He had serious doubts about Jin Yue's identity. After contacting the incident where the Zhang family was defrauded of 800,000 taels, he immediately asked someone to investigate Lin Xiao.

When it was getting dark, the man came back with information: "Sir Baili, there is indeed a person named Lin Xiao in Luo City. His household registration was just transferred back today. His father is a businessman from another court, and his mother is an unknown person from Qingzhou.

He traveled all over the world with his parents since he was a child. According to the investigation, he did not want to be looked down upon by his father, so he returned to Xizhao and started his own business."

After receiving this news, all Baili Fenling's thoughts were disrupted.

For a moment, he really felt that Lin Xiao was Chu Lingyue.

But after knowing this, he thought about it and felt that Miao Chun Tang was really lucky.

"...What kind of medical clinic should I open? Wouldn't it be better to open a temple?"

Chu Banshi stood outside the door with his hands behind his hands. He heard the conversation between the two people in the room, fastened his mask and chuckled before returning to the room.

On the pure white rice paper, only the words "ce" and "xiao" were written. Under the seal at hand, there was also a blank household registration booklet.

The next day, when the palace heard about Yunxuan, Concubine Zhang, who had been fined and grounded, was thrown around in the room.

When the eunuch announced that the queen was coming, she ignored him.

"Wanqing, it's time for you to calm down now that the matter has come to an end." The fifth banquet walked in, looked at the mess on the ground, and sighed.

Zhang Wanqing rushed forward after hearing the words: "What are you pretending to be? Don't think that I don't know what your purpose was in issuing an edict to supply medicine dealers!"

Trying to hold the other person's hand to calm her emotions, but to no avail.

The fifth banquet could only hold his breath and said calmly:

"Wanqing, you have misunderstood me. The Zhang family has made many enemies in Luo City over the years. This time they fell into the hands of that mysterious wealthy businessman. How many people are waiting to see the Zhang family's joke? Who knows, that mysterious wealthy businessman

Is this a character that the enemies teamed up to fabricate just to harm your Zhang family?"

"Pharmaceutical dealers are a hot job, let alone one that is dedicated to the Taiyuan Hospital. Your Zhang family's wealth is almost completely wiped out. If you don't find someone to divert the firepower at this time, how long do you think your Zhang family can sustain? Manage the Chamber of Commerce.

How can manpower be used to handle the profit and loss of the shop without money? Is it really good for your father to sell his property and make ends meet? "

After saying this, the Fifth Banquet sighed helplessly, "It's a pity that Lin Ce, the head of Yulong Division, you are so unpredictable. This also illustrates the problems faced by your Zhang family..."

Gradually calming down her anger, Zhang Wanqing glanced at the other party, and then pointed the finger at Lin Ce:

"Damn bastard, he handled the case of the governors of nine provinces in a muddle at the risk of the emperor's beheading, and yet he came to care about such trivial matters? I think the people in this Yulong Division are all just doing it!"

"Speaking of which, Lin Ce took over the affairs of the Zhang family twice, both of which were related to Miao Chuntang... Miao Chuntang is also unlucky to actually get involved in these matters."

"Hmph, our Zhang family was so unlucky when we met Miao Chun Tang!"

…

The temperature was slightly higher today, and the hospital was empty in the afternoon. Chu Lingyue, who had nothing to do, rarely had time to relax.

As a result, just as he was drowsy, he saw Chu Banshi standing in Lin Ce's face.

She woke up with a jolt and subconsciously touched her face.

After making sure that the disguise Gu were safe, he relaxed and pretended not to know anything before getting up and going to greet them: "Sir, are you taking medicine or seeing a doctor?"

After many days of investigation, Chu Banshi had already targeted Miaochuntang.

Realizing that Lin Xiao, who had bought up all the medicinal materials in and around the capital overnight, was targeting the Zhang family, the arch-rivals of Miaochundang, he roughly guessed their identity.

After seeing Lin Xiao's method of defrauding the Zhang family, he was even more certain of his judgment.

In addition, Liu Qinian from Miaochundang would go to the Carrot Alley in the outer circle from time to time and follow the clues along the way. It was not difficult for Chu Banshi to come to the conclusion that Jin Yue was Chu Lingyue.

Looking at the person in front of him who was still trying his best to pretend with a smile, Chu took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and put it on the table: "Can you please help me check this medicine? Based on this medicine, I can prepare thirty different poisons.

I'll pick it up in the evening."

Chu Lingyue was stunned.

What kind of unreasonable request is this?

But before he could refuse, Chu Banyan left.

Although this kind of work is very simple for her, it still takes a while to mix it into a mediocre and harmless poison.

After finishing his work, he was about to ask Shopkeeper Jia to send a message to Qiu Ri, saying that he would go back later, but Qiu Ri sent the message first.

"Miss Qiuri said that someone sent a message to invite you to a party at Wangchun Tower. I learned that you are not at home and the person who invited you has already gone to the shop." Shopkeeper Jia said.

When Chu Lingyue heard that it was Chu Banshi, she left the business at the medical center without saying a word and rushed to the shop, rushing back a few minutes before the guards arrived.

She hurriedly took off her disguise and returned to her original identity. When she went out, she heard Liu Hengti say:

"The master said that there have been too many mysterious people coming to the city recently, and for your safety, he asked me to escort them personally."

"...Thank you."

The same room, but there is a different atmosphere when you enter again.

Chu Banshi was sitting on the railing overlooking the dusk that filled the city. When he heard someone coming in, he just added a glass of wine to the cup opposite.

"sit."

"What's up?"

Slowly walking forward, Chu Lingyue observed the sky and saw that it would still be dark for a while, so she took a seat with a sigh of relief: "Did you find out anything about He Zhiqing?"

"We won't talk about business today." Chu half smiled while sipping his wine.

Hearing this, Chu Lingyue twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, drank the wine in the glass and left: "I still have something to do, so I won't accept it——"

He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. For a moment, Chu held her so that she couldn't move: "Watch the dusk with me."
