Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 52
Five stone powder is more complicated than imagined.

After searching these doctors for a long time, no suitable person was found.

Di Renjie was also troubled for a long time.

Wang Bin has been invited to participate in the investigation at this time.

The three were sitting at a round table discussing the matter.

Di Renjie read through the materials of these people and the materials provided by the princess, as well as the materials investigated by his subordinates, and began to summarize the results.

"Some of these doctors have passed away, but their descendants are not rich. They should not be the ones who got rich through prescriptions. I sent someone to ask them. These famous doctors' descendants and apprentices all said that they did not leave any prescriptions. Before Sun Simiao died, he wrote a letter with him. These people, do not spread it, so these people also keep their promises. After death, there are no people whose descendants suddenly become rich, so they should be ruled out.

Among the remaining famous doctors who survived, some were already very rich, while some lived in poverty for many years.

This matter has no clue. "

Wang Bin took up the conversation, "Among these people is only Cui Zhiti, who is very rich, but he was born in a famous family, he is Cui Xuan's uncle, and his official position has been accumulated to Minister of the Household Department. The five stone powder is of little use to him. Shangshu is a clean and honest official and is deeply respected, so this matter should have nothing to do with him.

Then there are two rich households in Luoyang, Chang'an. During the disaster period, they opened warehouses to release grain. They were not for the rich and unkind, but they were doing legitimate business.

In addition, there are many other places, which seem impossible. "

Shen Sanwen heard about Cui Zhiti, "I only know that Cui Zhiti is a famous doctor, but I didn't expect him to be the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Wang Bin gave him a strange look, "You actually don't know who the household secretary is, you are really unqualified as a son-in-law."

Shen San asked speechlessly, "...why do I need to know who is the Minister of the Household Department?"

Di Renjie saw that the two of them had strayed off topic, so he quickly pulled them back, "These people don't seem like people who can sell their humanity for the sake of wealth. This clue is considered broken. Why don't we start the investigation from the source of the purchase."

Shen Sanwen directly objected, "No, the risk is too great. If the prescription is spread, it will cause irreparable consequences. Let's visit these three famous doctors in the capital first, and see if we can gain anything. Maybe the process of dispensing the medicine was blocked by others. Not sure about stealing."

Wang Bin had an idea, "Many doctors dispense their medicines in person. If there is a possibility that it could be stolen, it should be Cui Shangshu who is the most likely. He may not personally dispense the medicines. There are personnel records in these files, which can basically exclude other people. Only one family in Chang'an, one in Luoyang, and one in Cui are left."

Di Renjie nodded and said yes, "Go to the various places to inquire and investigate again, in case there is any mistake. Then focus on investigating these three households. I will go to Luoyang. Wang Bin will assist the Chang'an household, and Concubine Shen will be in charge of Cui Shangshu's office."

Shen Sanwen went to Cui Mansion immediately.

At this time, Cui Zhiti had already left the court.

The son-in-law begged to see him, and Cui Zhiti was very generous, and asked someone to make good tea.

But Shen Sanwen was destined not to drink tea.

"Master Cui, the junior came to visit because of Dr. Sun Simiao's blind prescription."

Cui Zhiti obviously had such an accident, "Lord Di has already been here. A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. I am definitely not a person who is greedy for money and forgets righteousness."

Seeing Cui Zhiti's upright spirit, Shen Sanwen also felt that what he said was true, "Master Cui is serious, but the pharmaceutical process may be peeped by others, so Sanwen came to ask whether it is possible, this matter is related to the matter. It is very important, so Master Di and I decided to go to each place to inquire in person, without any other intention. Please don't think too much, sir."

Cui Zhiti thought for a while, "I have an agreement with Dr. Sun. This prescription will never be passed on to others. I have been dispensing it myself for many years. I have never delivered the improved prescription to anyone. It's just that my son-in-law said so, and I remembered something. Years ago when I went to the Turks with Prime Minister Pei Xingjian, because the medicines I carried were exhausted and the supply of medicines was short, I sent a military doctor to get medicines, maybe he had peeped a little bit."

Shen Sanwen felt that this should be the breakthrough point, "Do you still remember the military doctor? Maybe this person used it to make huge profits."

Cui Zhiti got up immediately, "Let's go to the Ministry of War and find out who this person is. I have a duty to do this, so let's go with my son-in-law."

Shen Sanwen hurriedly took a sip of tea, running around all day long, he couldn't even take a sip of water, several people died of exhaustion.

The two arrived at the Ministry of War.

Check out the classics.

This person is really unusual. According to the army log, this person has a photographic memory and is a loyal man.

This person is dedicated to serving the country, and has been on the front line many times on the battlefield, but he has a lot of complaints about Shengshang's battles every year, so he has not been promoted for many years.

No one dared to promote this person, and no one reported him.

It's the best of benevolence.

What is suspicious is that he was discharged from the army shortly after he returned to Beijing to suppress the rebellion of the Xiongnu.

Such a coincidence at this time, if it has nothing to do with him, there is really something wrong.

The case has progressed, but Di Renjie is not in the capital.

Wang Bin got nothing.

Shen Sanwen was exhausted physically and mentally.

It's just that Di Renjie thought that the people in Luoyang were the people he hated the most, and he misjudged the person, so the burden fell on him.

Born to work hard, doomed to have little happiness.

Shen Sanwen hurried to investigate, and said that he would share the credit with Wang Bin.

A warrior with a simple background, but also somewhat legendary.

Let's call him Zhongyi.

This person used to be a general under Li Ke, the governor of Liangzhou.

Therefore, he didn't like Gaozong very much.

Li Ke withdrew from the battle of seizing the heirloom, but was still killed by Changsun Wuji.As his deputy general, Zhongyi's dissatisfaction is probably all due to his nostalgia for Li Ke, a brave and courageous prince.

Li Ke is a well-known good general, and he is very considerate of his subordinates.

After searching for Zhongyi's whereabouts for some time, he finally found it.

Now he is under Li Chou, the king of Guangdu County.

The King of Guangdu County is just a false title, but Li Chou has some means, some wealth, and some influence.

Shen Sanwen felt that the case was serious.

After Li Ke's death, a younger brother Li Yin was still alive, but he was exiled.

Several sons of Li Yin were made kings of the county again.

Li Chou is the eldest son.

Li Ke has four sons, all of whom are far from their father.Either he took refuge in Gaozong and stopped talking about his father's tragic death, or he was enjoying peace and happiness.

Li Chou can be regarded as the outstanding one in Li Ke's lineage.

After analyzing all this, Shen Sanwen thought it was ridiculous, did they want to rebel?
It's all about Li Xian's ascension to the throne.

Li Chou is in Luoyang.

Shen Sanwen planned to discuss the matter with the princess, and then inform Di Renjie in case something happened to him in Luoyang.

When he returned to the mansion, the gatekeeper told him that Cui Xuan had come to visit.

You can save some tongues, Cui Xuan must have already learned about this matter.

Cui Zhiti can even tell the next generation of the Cui family about this kind of thing. In his opinion, this matter is not a trivial matter, and there may already be a family meeting.
