Chapter 149 The Plan of the Winter Bamboo Shoots

After going back and forth for another two days, Master Dongsun really couldn't find the black ginseng pills of Baiyue Danshi Zhufeng, let alone Zhufeng, and even the prices of other low-quality black ginseng pills in the market have also risen. .

Master Dongsun took the initiative to contact a few monks who travel to and from Baiyue, and asked them to contact Zhufeng on their behalf to see if they could get the goods directly from Zhufeng.

Baiyue is not far away, and within three days, Venerable Dongsun received a reply that Zhuifeng was not in the ascetic mountain where he lived, and he didn’t know where he went, maybe he went out to collect herbs, maybe he was visiting friends, in short, he bought the goods directly The idea was shattered.

Counting the days, Master Dongsun was in a hurry, and rushed back to Yongrentang to discuss with Wu Sheng, and saw Wu Sheng working hard in alchemy day and night in the alchemy room, with disheveled hair and unshaven beard, which made the old man sigh.

It's all a mess!No, it's all caused by the damn left stroke!If he didn't bring this messy and inferior black ginseng ball, how could the layman be distracted?
While anxious, Fangjia came to join in the fun again: "Shopkeeper Dong is really easy to find. I have been here many times, and shopkeeper Dong has gone out, haha."

Venerable Dongsun asked, "What's the matter with Chief Jia?"

Fang Jia said: "This is not the last time Shopkeeper Dong talked about that thief. There is a clue, so I am here to report to Shopkeeper Dong."

Ever since Fang Jia took the sales commission of Yongrentang's panacea, he was particularly concerned about Yongrentang's affairs. No matter Shen Danshi or shopkeeper Dong, he tried his best to do what the two said, and he was very enthusiastic.

Master Dongsun thought for a while, and then came to a realization: "That thief who mutilated himself and planned to blackmail people? Didn't Chief Jia say he would report to the government on his behalf? What's the matter?"

Fangjia laughed and said: "After a certain report to the court, Captain Yisi heard that it was Yong Rentang's report. He attached great importance to it and ordered his arrest. A certain official from the court worked hard for many days, and finally found out the thief's whereabouts. Take it from the Wai Wuliu Pavilion!"

Master Dongsun has important matters at hand, and he heard that he has already taken it, so he no longer cares about it, but after all, it is his own business, Fang Jia is so concerned, and even alarmed the court, he must express something, and go back to his room to pick it up. More than a hundred ant nose coins were wrapped in a square scarf and handed to Fang Jia: "A little heart, Mr. Lao Jia will come forward and invite the brothers in the court temple to have a drink."

Following Wu Sheng, most of the people who dealt with gold were yuan gold. Master Dongsun really trembled. He didn't look down on a mere hundred or so ant nose money at all, but Fang Jia took it over, with heavy hands and a smug face. I was so happy, I didn't need to count it in detail to know that it was about one hundred and fifty to sixty yuan, and it was distributed in a flash:
There were fifty from Yi Siwei's side, twenty from his own family, ten of the five temple officials who made the move, and the rest just treated the temple officials to a good meal, and none of them fell through.

Overjoyed, he became even more courteous: "Guess what's going on, Treasurer Dong, the thief couldn't bear the punishment, he has already recruited, he wasn't a blackmailer, but he was even more vicious than a blackmailer, he actually wanted to take advantage of Master Shen's departure from the city to rob him halfway. In the past few days, he has entered the city many times, all of them are to follow, just waiting for Master Shen to go out."

Master Dongsun sneered: "How dare this thief be so brave? Presumably there must be some accomplices, and none of his own is capable of this! Brothers, please interrogate."

Fang Jia nodded: "Understood, Shopkeeper Dong just heard my good news!"

After Fangjia left, Master Dongsun shook his head, this is the way of the world, there are people who see the money and see the prosperity of Yongrentang's business, and want to make money out of the fire, regardless of whether they have the ability, it is really wishful thinking.Not to mention that both myself and the lay monks have made great progress in cultivation, just talking about Yongrentang's flourishing posture in Shangyong City, it is beyond the reach of ordinary thieves.

Cut it half way?joke!

Cut it halfway... cut it halfway...

Master Dongsun thought for a moment, pondered for a moment, and left to Sima's mansion. Yuan Sima couldn't see him easily, but the few doormen who were in charge of the documents were his drinking buddies.

It is said that wine and meat friends are unreliable, but without wine and meat, how to maintain friends?Those who do not want to sit together to drink and eat meat are not called friends.Among friends, it was very easy to inquire about some news. Master Dongsun quickly obtained the names, backgrounds, and routes of the envoys from Chu State who came to check on Maogong.

As a vassal of the state of Chu, the annual mao tribute is a symbol of the surrender of the four countries to the state of Chu, so there are fixed procedures.Because the tributes were sent to Yangzhou, they were all led by Yangzhou Yin—actually carried out by his deputy, the left disciple or the right disciple. In recent years, it has been the left disciple Shen Douke, which also shows that Shen Douke is more important to Yangzhou Yin. trust.

As usual in previous years, Shen Douke would send a guest to the Four Kingdoms to announce the beginning of the tribute period, and at the same time preliminarily count the quality and quantity of the various tributes, and then the four countries would gather together to escort the tributes to Yangzhou.

Master Dongsun was inspired by the thieves who were plotting against Yongrentang, and planned to start with the envoy of Chu. Of course, he did not intend to rob him halfway, but to block him halfway, delaying the day when the envoy arrived at Shangyong. Seven or eight days, won't the matter be resolved?
As for how to stop it, Master Dongsun also thought about it, he spent decades in Langshan not for nothing, there are many tricks!
Then I went to find my good friends Dong Da and Ding Ran, and I didn't hide my words. After a banquet, I clarified my intentions, and finally said: "My boss has worked hard, to prevent Dayong from being oppressed by the strong Chu, and to protect the people from war. I have been practicing alchemy all day and all night, and I haven’t adjusted my breath to recover since ten months, let alone sleep well. The two brothers are both masters in cultivation, so they naturally know the difficulties. My boss has been exhausted for alchemy. He vomits blood, the old man saw it with his own eyes! To be honest with the two brothers, although he is my boss, but the old man watched him grow up. In the eyes of the old man, he is no different from his own nephew. The old man really doesn’t know what to do. I'm here to ask the two virtuous brothers for their advice!"

Dong Da immediately stated: "Don't talk about the shopkeeper Dong, Dong knows it all! When Shen Danshi defeated the heroes of all countries in the alliance in Putai, he was proud of me, brother. I have always admired him very much. This is a national event. We wait for the righteous men to help each other with all our strength, how can we just sit and watch Alchemy Shen go forward alone!"

Master Dongsun's expression was dignified: "My boss is upright, but he is only busy with alchemy, so he doesn't know about it. It's just a little thought of this old man... The matter involves Chu envoys, if the secret of the incident is leaked, I may be in danger of life... "

Dong laughed loudly: "Brothers, I was talking about righteousness. Shopkeeper Dong treats my Nancheng brothers well on weekdays. If there is something useful, he just asks for it. The meaning of righteousness is that he dare not say goodbye even though he is heartbroken." !"

Ding Ran said softly at the side: "It's just to stop the envoy of Chu for a while. As long as the plan is right and it's done without anyone noticing, he won't be able to react even if he wants to break his head. It's not a big risk. But I don't know that. How is the Chu envoy's cultivation?"

Master Dongsun said: "It's just a senior qi refiner, similar to us, there's nothing special about it, it's more about status."

Ding Ran nodded: "As long as we can't hold us down physically, it will be much easier."

Venerable Dongsun asked: "What I am planning this time is to ask for someone who will not arouse the suspicion of Chu envoys, and who knows how to plan?"

Ding Ran said with a smile: "I have four strategies, which can be used for safekeeping."

Master Dongsun also laughed: "Coincidentally, the old man also has four characters."

Ding Ran said: "I'm afraid the shopkeeper has already made a plan? Why don't you and I write it in the palm of your hand at the same time?"

Asking the shopkeeper to take a pen, the two immediately wrote four words briefly in their palms, stretched out their hands at the same time, and then laughed loudly, saying "heroes see the same thing".

Dong Da scratched his head anxiously beside him: "What did you write?"

Venerable Dong Sun stretched out his hand, "Brother Dong, please take a look."

Dong Da said with a sad face: "Master only taught me how to refine Qi, but didn't teach me how to read..."
