Chapter 136 You deserve it for wearing the scarlet robe!People are so nice!
Li Yan looked at Ming Chongyan.

Some historians in later generations speculated that the medicine given to Li Zhi by Ming Chongyan contained opium.

It is precisely because of this medicine that he can effectively suppress the severe headache and gain Li Zhi's trust.

Of course, since there are no historical records, it's just pure speculation.

Now, the speculation has come true.

Ming Chongyan is still stubborn: "My master once studied medicine with Sun Zhenzhen, and he passed on "Taiqing Zhenren's Mica Prescription". Later, he improved Yundan and made Wuyundan. This pill is absolutely magical. What do people know!"

Sun Simiao has indeed done a lot of research on the art of elixir, and he also said that there are three great methods for anyone who wants to be immortal: preserve essence, induce qi, and take bait, and take bait to take elixir.

However, compared to taking pills to keep in good health, he advocates taking food to keep in good health. This is the wisdom of the medicine king. Even with the limitations of the times, a big boss is a big boss after all.

Li Yan sighed: "Master Ming, why should he deceive himself and others? This is the disadvantage of raw materials. How can there be no problems when the pill is manufactured?"

Ming Chongyan was already sweating coldly on his back, but he still shook his head: "There is no evidence for this statement, how can the poor believe it?"

Li Yandao: "There are only you and me here, and you are the inner guard of the plum blossom, so I will inform you of the current investigation of the case..."

He recounted Dou Decheng's analysis of selling medicine: "Director Dou was arrested by you and me together. Do you think there are any mistakes in my analysis?"

Cold sweat also appeared on Ming Chongyan's forehead, and slowly flowed down his temples.

Li Yan got up and said: "Seeing is believing, Daoist Ming follow me!"

He walked out, Ming Chongyan gritted his teeth and followed.

The two left Xuandu Temple and headed for the West Market together.

At this time, there was a curfew, but Li Yan showed the fish amulet, and the patrolling Marquis Wu stepped aside one after another, and entered the West Market unimpeded.

Compared with the endless flow during the day, the West Market at night is also very lively. Orchids' exotic customs are very popular in Datang, and many people like to learn Hu on the couch.

In recent years, many Goryeo and Silla maidservants have poured in. Some moralists continue to learn Goryeo and Silla while criticizing them.

Li Yan rode his horse past the brightly lit restaurants until he reached the biggest one.

Even if you don't mention the industry that tests the cadres, just look at the decent restaurant maids, there are too few Han women who show their faces, and they are not competitive.

On the contrary, the maids of the Hu people were warm and generous, and the restaurants became bigger and bigger, with higher and higher grades, and became the favorite place for dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and wealthy merchants to stay.

And here is the restaurant run by Shi Shi, the largest Hu merchant association in West City.

A very elegant name was given, called Zui Jinzhao.

Li Yan got off his horse and walked in with Ming Chongyan.

He was wearing a scarlet robe, and Ming Chongyan's Daoist robe fluttered. Even the servants in such a combination did not dare to greet him, and the steward immediately stepped forward.

Li Yan said: "Take us to see An Wuwei, he is with your president."

The steward led them into the backyard, and soon got the news and felt relieved: "Liulang, why did you come in person?"

The status of Han merchants is lowly, not to mention the Hu merchants, Li Yan, who is really condescending.

Li Yandao: "This is something important, where is President Shi?"

There was a figure waiting behind him, and when he heard it, he ran over quickly. It was Shi Siwen, the president of the Hushang Association, who saluted extremely respectfully: "I have seen Li Jiyi!"

Li Yan nodded slightly: "President Shi, this is my friend Daoist Ming. He heard that Mrs. Ling has been taking Yundan for a long time, and her health is not good. The doctor is benevolent, so he came here to make a diagnosis."

After being jealous of evil, Ming Chongyan became a benevolent doctor again...

At this time, Ming Chongyan was thinking about the lives of the whole family, and he didn't care about it. He saluted with one hand, with a sense of immortality.

Not to mention that Chongyan's appearance is very good, with Li Yan's power, even if he finds a beggar on the street to see a doctor, Shi Siwen will have to recognize him by pinching his nose. At this moment, he is even more happy to see him: "Please, Taoist priest! Please! !"

Hu people don't pay attention to etiquette, and the process is simple, and Shi Siwen soon brought his wife out.

To be precise, it was supported by two maidservants.

It can be seen that Shi Shi was originally an extremely beautiful beauty, but at this time she is already in shape, her hair is dull and dull, her eye sockets are sunken, and she looks dazed.

Li Yan thought of the Qing Dynasty, when men were as thin as sticks and became the sick men of East Asia, while women were expressionless and allowed to be manipulated and ravaged, their eyes flickering fiercely.

And Ming Chongyan was also taken aback: "How long has she been taking Yundan?"

Shi Siwen said: "Three years, first two coins per month, then two coins every half month, and then two coins every ten days, until now one day of dissatisfaction, the pain is unbearable."

Ming Chongyan still couldn't believe it, or rather he didn't want to believe it, so he stretched out his hand to feel his pulse.

With such strong martial arts, after checking his pulse, his fingers actually trembled slightly.

Shi Siwen looked a little inexplicably, my wife is seriously ill, I am used to it, why are you so sad?

But thinking of the benevolence of the doctor, he was a little moved, so he made a look, and the servants immediately went to fetch the gold.

Li Yan asked, "Where did you buy Yundan? Dou's shop?"

Shi Siwen shook his head: "It's not in the shop, but in the south of Fangshi. It's a secret transaction, but it can't be hidden from me. It's a member of the Dou Chamber of Commerce."

Li Yan thought to himself that this was really a drug sale: "How much is a elixir?"

Shi Siwen said: "Two cloud pills, one hundred gold."

A hundred gold is equivalent to [-] million in later generations, and a pill costs [-], which is close to being robbed.

Of course, the Dou's Chamber of Commerce sold it to the Hu merchants for such an expensive price. It was for cutting leeks, and it would not be this price if it was sold to the dignitaries of the court and China.

Li Yan asked again: "Besides Mrs. Ling, who else does President Shi know are using this pill?"

Shi Siwen thought for a while and said, "There are still many Hu merchants in the West Market who are using this pill. Li Jiyi needs it. I can make a list. I don't know the merchants in the East Market."

When the two of them were talking, Ming Chongyan's Taoist robe was almost soaked.

He obviously used Xuan Gao (poppy) as a kind of medicine before, and he didn't realize its poisonous nature at all, so he was very calm.

At this time, Yue Yanyue's complexion was pale, he was on the verge of falling, and when his head was lowered, evil thoughts churned in his heart again.

But thinking of the difference in martial arts between the two, and the fact that many people knew about it, some thoughts disappeared immediately.

Ming Chongyan withdrew his hand, and tremblingly said to Shi Siwen: "Sorry, I can't do anything."

Shi Siwen was not disappointed at all: "Mr. Lao has bothered you. It's a small thing. It's not a respect. I hope I can accept it!"

After Ming Chongyan tried his best to decline, he followed Li Yan out in despair.

Just after leaving the West Market, in a deserted corner, Ming Chongyan bowed down: "Li Jiyi, save me! Save thousands of members of the Ming family!!"

The Ming family is also a local rich family. According to their family status, they are poor, but rich in money.

Otherwise, what kind of alchemy is made, it is a hobby of rich people.

Li Yan helped him up: "If I hadn't thought about my friendship with Daoist Ming, I wouldn't have come here to remind me."

Ming Chongyan was obviously flustered: "Thank you Li Jiyi!"

"No thanks!"

Li Yan hated drugs very much. Even if he didn't like Li Zhi, he didn't want Tang Gaozong to die because of this reason, let alone the prince.

Moreover, according to historical development, the prince died suddenly in a few years, and Li Zhi still had more than ten years to live.

These two people may be more affected by the prince, after all, the foundation is too weak.

Li Yan calmed down and said: "Poppy is supposed to be used for medicine, but it's just too much to be used as a poison. If the material is used in an appropriate amount, it is completely feasible for it to be used only for pain relief."

Ming Chongyan said sadly: "But Pindao only knows how to make alchemy, not to improve pills. I don't know if the amount of medicine is too much or too little."

Li Yan didn't understand either. He was a student of history, not medicine. He could only ask, "How long have you been taking Wuyun Pill, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince? How often have you taken the pill?"

Ming Chongyan said: "Your Majesty has been taking it for three years, taking two pills a month, Your Highness has taken it for two years, taking two pills every half a month."

Sure enough, the prince is more dependent.

Li Yan can only think in a better direction: "The efficacy of Wuyun Dan is higher than that of Yun Dan, and the harm is also less. Now there is still room for salvation. You must improve the formula, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. Where did the recipe come from?"

Ming Chongyan shook his head: "Master never said that."

Li Yan pondered, his eyes brightened: "By the way, since your master has practiced with Sun Zhenren, why don't you ask him for advice? Or ask Imperial Physician Liu?"

Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, can make alchemy and has superb medical skills. He is really awesome. At this time, he lived in Chang'an.

Li Zhi originally wanted Sun Simiao to be an official, but Sun Simiao declined and recommended his apprentice Liu Shenwei to enter the imperial hospital.

Three years later in history, Sun Simiao was old and begged to return to his hometown. After that, he retired to Mount Wutai and concentrated on standing there until he died of illness.

Li Yan knew very well that it would be difficult for someone like Sun Simiao who was unwilling to be an official to be moved, but his apprentice Liu Shenwei could at least pay a visit.

However, when Ming Chongyan heard the words, the cold sweat broke out again.

He knew that he couldn't hide it at this time, and said in a low voice, "Sun Zhenren doesn't like Master very much, so drive him away."

Li Yan frowned: "I shouldn't have asked about this matter, but now is indeed an extraordinary time. Master Ming must not hide it. What is the reason?"

Ming Chongyan sighed: "Sun Zhenzhen's intention is that the master's heart in studying medicine is not sincere, and he only wants to be an official, so he let him go. Later, the master taught me martial arts, and it was also my father's agreement with him that he would get a job for him. official position."

It's true that he only wants to be an official. No wonder Sun Simiao doesn't like it.

Ming Chongyan's master was Lin Jianye, who worked as a lawyer in Dantu County.

Beijing officials look down on local county lieutenants because they are officials themselves.

For a white body without an official position, being a county lieutenant in a relatively affluent place like Runzhou in the south of the Yangtze River is not bad.

There is nothing wrong with personal choice, Li Yan thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, that's the only way..."

Ming Chongyan lifted his spirits: "Please Li Jiyi give advice."

Li Yandao: "The Dou's Chamber of Commerce is Chang'an's den of poison, but it did provide many samples. You are proficient in medical science. By understanding the symptoms of people taking pills at different stages, and comparing them with the situation of taking pills of sages and princes, at least you can get a good idea." .”

Ming Chongyan nodded, he was really afraid that something might happen to the sage and the crown prince, so he said, "That's true."

Li Yandao: "The current strategy is to find out the account books that Dou Decheng concealed and save myself. I have to find another way!"

Ming Chongyan nodded again and again, and wanted to bow down: "Liulang's great kindness, please accept the poor man's bow!"

Li Yan knew that he wanted to contribute, but it was inappropriate at this time, so he supported him and said, "Remember, we should not only find problems, but also find solutions to them, so that we can turn to the sage, Master Ming, let's work together Bar!"

Watching Li Yan ride his horse away, Ming Chongyan saluted sincerely.

You deserve to wear scarlet robes!

People are so nice!
