Chapter 8
Tang Fan nodded: "Fuyangchun is an aphrodisiac contained in the ancient prescription. It is not uncommon. You can use Jiuxiangworm, Xianmaru, Cooked Rehmannia, Epimedium and other medicinal materials. Although eating too much may not be beneficial, Zheng Fu said that Zheng Cheng took this medicine for about three or two months, so he would not die. However, if Bupleurum is added, it would be different. Bupleurum can relieve exterior and heat, but cannot be used randomly. Those who lose their vital energy should avoid it. Taking it for a long time will damage the liver and kidneys. If Bupleurum is added to this "Fuyangchun", it has changed from aphrodisiac to a death-seeking medicine."
Suizhou: "The person I sent to Weihui Mansion came to news that Lin Chaodong, the Huichuntang clerk who helped Zheng Cheng prepare medicine privately, did not return to his hometown and was nowhere to be found."
Tang Fan smiled bitterly: "When this happens, the clues will be cut off again."
Suizhou was silent for a moment: "It may not be possible, come with me."
He got up and walked out, Tang Fan locked the yard gate and followed him out.
In the blue sky and the sun, the marks on his neck were too terrifying and his collar could not be covered. There was also an Jinyiwei next to him, which attracted passers-by to look back frequently. Tang Fan's eyes looked weird like he was looking at the death row prisoner who was about to go to the execution ground.
Suizhou first returned to the Beizhen Fushi, raised Zheng Fu from the inside, and took him to Huichuntang.
Although Manager Liu and others were released, their words and deeds were still under surveillance. Two Jinyiwei were ordered to guard the door of Huichun Hall, like a door god, and their business had been depressed these days. Manager Liu and the other two were sitting in the face of grief. When they saw the two of Suizhou, they quickly stood up.
"Sir Sui, look at our loyal businessman, Lin Chaodong's affairs have nothing to do with Huichuntang. Can it be..." Manager Liu wanted to complain, but Sui Zhou glanced coldly and swallowed the second half of the words.
Suizhou handed Zheng Fu the prescription that Tang Fan gave him: "Do you recognize the prescription above?"
Zheng Fu looked at it and nodded repeatedly: "This is Fu Yangchun's prescription. It was common when the young man helped the young master get medicine... Hey, but there was no Bupleurum on it!"
Suizhou: "When was the last time you came to dispense medicine?"
Zheng Fu: "About three or two months ago?"
Suizhou said coldly: "You need the exact date and think about it carefully!"
People's potential is infinite. When they were frightened by Suizhou, Zheng Fu really remembered: "It's March 18th, and I remember it. It's March 18th. Because those medicines have to be boiled into pills every time, it is more troublesome, so I always say hello to Lin Chaodong two days in advance, and then wait until March 20th to get the pills directly!"
Suizhou looked at Manager Liu: "You heard that, and then searched the medicine backup records for Huichuntang from March 18th to March 20th and then submitted them."
Manager Liu: "Yes, yes, yes, go here!"
He quickly called Gao Yizi and the doctor in charge to close the door of Huichun Hall, and then began to search for records.
If you get medicine when you see a doctor and get medicine, your life is at stake. If you don’t have good luck, you will die. There will inevitably be peers fighting and people behind you. Therefore, in order to avoid disputes, pharmacies like Huichuntang that have a slightly more famous year will have such a record.
Now it's just in handy.
With the exact date, the record was quickly found. Tang Fan and Suizhou took it and saw that it clearly stated the many medicinal materials used in the pharmacy over the past two days, and even which prescription was used for it was written clearly.
When they saw the third line, they saw the three words Fu Yangchun, and the following medicine name was the only one without Bupleurum.
Looking at the medicine records over the past two days, there was no such medicine as Chaihu.
In other words, when Lin Chaodong was dispensing medicine to Zheng Cheng, the Bupleurum used in it must not be taken in Huichuntang.
In this way, Lin Chaodong is actually a very cautious person. In order to avoid being discovered by Huichuntang, he simply bought Chaihu and Laijia outside alone, but now it has become a clue to solve the case.
Suizhou immediately ordered two Jinyiwei under his command: "Take people with you and go to the whole city to see which pharmacy shop was purchased for a large amount of bupleurum on March 18th!"
The two of them took the order and left.
Tang Fan said to Suizhou: "Chief Banner of Sui, can I see Zheng Cheng's body?"
Suizhou: "The coroner of the Beizhen Fushi has been checked, and there is nothing unusual about the body."
In fact, when Zheng Cheng died, Tang Fan had already checked his body, and there was no abnormality at that time, but Tang Fan always felt that no matter how cautious he was, it would not be bad. Now it has been so many days since Zheng Cheng's death. If he didn't look at it again and waited for the body to completely rot, it would be a pity.
So he still insisted: "I'll ask the Sui General Banner to be harmonious."
At first, Suizhou did not look down on the people of Shuntian Prefecture, and even faced Tang Fan, he had no good voice. Now, seeing that his voice was damaged and his whole body was uncomfortable, he still insisted on running around with him to investigate the case, and his attitude slightly eased.
"There is an ice room underground in the Beizhenfusi. Zheng Cheng's body will be placed there for a while." Suizhou said a little more. "Your Majesty asked Beizhenfusi to solve the case within one month. After one month, even if the case has not been solved, the body will be returned to the Marquis of Wu'an. You can go to Beizhenfusi to find me tomorrow."
Everyone knows that the Jinyiwei was the Tai, the ancestor was founded. The original function was to "take charge of the guards directly, and the Yiluan affairs", which means to be the guards in front of the imperial guards, and then be responsible for the emperor's patrols and sacrifices to the temples, etc. Later, he helped the Tai. The Zu Emperor eliminated many heroes and corrupt officials. In addition to the guards in front of the imperial guards and ceremonial guards, he joined the posts of the National Security Bureau and the Anti-Corruption Bureau in the later generations. During the Chengzu period, the Jinyiwei was restored, and the imperial prison was known to everyone.
But in fact, the functions of the Jinyiwei are far more than this: the imperial examination hall inspection, the Jinyiwei allocated personnel to help; the provincial examination chaired by Shuntian Prefecture itself covers the capital area, and if there are major fraud cases, the Jinyiwei must be invited to take action; there are many other trivial matters, such as repairing streets, catching thieves, etc.
Many things that should have been responsible for by Shuntian Prefecture often end up being done by the Jinyiwei. After all, because the Jinyiwei has many elites and the emperor attaches importance to it, he receives a lot of funds every year. Naturally, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and everything is very good, and the efficiency is much higher than ordinary administrative departments like Shuntian Prefecture. For example, the arrest of the remnants of Bailian and the end of the "Demon Fox Case" this time was originally the work content of Shuntian Prefecture, but because the yamen runners in Shuntian Prefecture were not strong, the Jinyiwei had to take action in person.
Because of this, the Jinyiwei's evaluation of Shuntian Mansion has never been very good. Even if Tang Fan is famous, he is just a civil servant who is powerless and has no relationship with Jinyiwei. Once he joins Shuntian Mansion, he will naturally become a member of the "Fanzhu Base Camp" in the eyes of others.
Therefore, there are actually such reasons for Suizhou’s opinions on Tang Fan, and Tang Fan also knew them well.
This is a historical factor, which is related to the location of Shuntian Mansion itself. As a local official under the emperor's nose, Shuntian Mansion is the first to be a local official. Although the administrative level is half a level higher than other local officials, there are officials everywhere, and anyone can point fingers. The Shuntian Mansion is also quite frustrated.
Pan Bin and Pan Bin's previous term were not powerful people. As soon as this Taiping official was appointed, he did not seek merit, but wanted no mistakes. When the case was sensitive, he began to push back and forth. No wonder Suizhou looked down on them.
Although Tang Fan understood this, he had just arrived in Shuntian Mansion and was still a promoter. Faced with this situation, he had no choice but to do something with his meager strength.
He breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "Then I would like to thank General Sui Banner."
Manager Liu next to him intended to please Tang Fan, so he came forward and smiled: "Mr. Tang, this is the blood-activating ointment of Qiuli Paste and the exclusive formula of the medicine shop. The former is taken internally to moisten the throat and clear heat, and the latter is used externally to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. The wounds on your neck will be fine the next day after you have been kept and used!"
Because he was interrupted after half of his breakfast, he followed Suizhou to ask someone for questions, and he didn't even have time to apply medicine. After saying it for more than a day, Tang Fan's throat was already hoarse. When Manager Liu said this, he realized that the muscles on his neck were being pulled and hurt, and he couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Tang Fan accepted the medicine from Manager Liu, thanked him, and insisted on giving money regardless of his refusal, and then followed Suizhou to leave the medicine shop.
The sun is shining outside, no longer as drizzling as a few days earlier.
Yu Guang, Suizhou, swept it inadvertently, but saw the man beside him wearing black hair and blue clothes, slender and fair, which made the ten fingers on his neck more shocking.
He took out a small bottle from his sleeve, handed it over, and said lightly: "Use it three times a day."
Tang Fan took it and said with a smile: "The production of Beizhen Fushi must be extraordinary, I have to try it."
Sui Zhou nodded slightly, without saying much, pressed the Xiuchun Knife with his hand, and walked forward.
Although Chaihu has strong medicinal properties, it is not rare if used properly. In the vast capital, there are many prescriptions prepared by pharmacies every day. I don’t know how many Chaihu are there. But if you want to make so many pills and achieve the effect of harming the body and harming people, the dosage required must be relatively large. It is not comparable to prescribe medicine when treating a doctor, and it is limited to the two days of March 18, so the search range will be much smaller immediately.
The efficiency of Jinyiwei's service was indeed extraordinary. In just half a day, the people sent out by Suizhou were informed.
The Sanyuan Hall in the north of the city and Renxin Hall in the east of the city, both of these pharmacies were bought by people on March 18th. Suizhou sent someone to investigate and found that the person who came to buy the medicine was the same. According to the other pharmacies, the person who came to buy the medicine was not the mysterious missing Huichun Hall clerk Lin Chaodong.
The Jinyiwei was patrolling and arresting the enemy. He was familiar with this kind of thing. Suizhou immediately called a painter and asked him to depict the people based on the characteristics described by the two friends.
After a while, the image of a tall cheekbones and a slightly collapsed nose bridge appeared on the paper.
Very handsome.
Sui Zhou frowned. In fact, he had a vague direction in his heart. This case was complicated, but it was not complicated. It was sensitive to the person involved. The eldest son of Wu'an Hou, and Wu'an Hou's Mansion was not a place where people could enter and exit at will.
The capital city has a population of about one million, and it is like finding a needle in a haystack every day.
At this time, Tang Fan, who was silent beside him, suddenly spoke: "I have seen this person!"
Suizhou turned his head to look at him.
Tang Fan: "I have an impression of this person, but as for where I have seen him, I can't remember it for a moment. If I think about it, I will tell you immediately."
Suizhou nodded and looked at the sky: "It's getting late, I'll be here today. Lord Tang can go to the North Town Fushi Department to find me tomorrow."
Tang Fan smiled and stood up: "Okay, I have gained a lot today. I still have to go back to report to the National Lord of the State Council. Let me say goodbye."
Suizhou is not easy to get close to, but he is first-class in his ability to do things. Moreover, Tang Fan was able to get his bottle of medicine, which means that the relationship between the two has improved a little bit. If Shuntian Prefecture can establish a good relationship with the Beizhen Fushi, it will of course be very helpful for his future work.
Suizhou said in a daze: "Mr. Pan is afraid of his duties. If Lord Tang wants to do something, it will be a pity in Shuntian Prefecture."
Tang Fan smiled and said, "Did General Sui Qi want to dig out Lord Pan's corner and invite me to serve in the Northern Town Fushi?"
