Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 711 The Fury of the Honest Man
Jiang Baizhi rushed to Honglu Temple immediately in the name of gratitude.

Looking around, he felt that Fan Zheng was the only good person in the world.

"Hongluqing, I want to meet the emperor."

Jiang Baizhi's temper is exposed.

Fan Zheng chuckled: "In the name of thanking you? You actually put some thought into it."

Even Fan Zheng had already inquired about the news that someone within the Jiang family wanted to replace Jiang Baizhi.

It's no wonder that the Jiang family couldn't become a famous family in the world. Just staring at the family's ambitions, it doesn't deserve to be done.

Jiang Baizhi is an honest person, but an honest person deserves to have a knife put to his neck?

Angry, Jiang Baizhi just left the Jiang family, but it didn't mean she was separated from Ye Niang.

Of course, in this era, it is somewhat uncomfortable to leave the clan, with all kinds of inconveniences.

But why would you want a clan like this that only knows how to backstab?
"Doctor's medical skills are superb, and his character is worthy of my trust. I regard myself as a beautiful person." Fan Zheng chuckled. "Doctor, have you thought about whether you should thank me in private or in court?"

Jiang Baizhi gritted her teeth, the veins on her temples pulsating faintly: "I want to see the Tai Chi Palace, my official."
-
Jiang Baizhi, who changed into a green official uniform, received the temporarily distributed bamboo scepter, and introduced the Tai Chi Hall to Wang Xu, the imperial censor in the palace.

"Dr. Jiang Baizhi, a doctor of medicine from Yongzhou and your court minister, thank you for your appointment and title!"

Fortunately, Fan Zheng had taught Jiang Baizhi the etiquette of lifting the scepter and playing the right tune in advance, otherwise Jiang Baizhi would have inevitably lost her etiquette.

The reporting format for officials below the sixth rank is: official title, minister, and name. Ordinary courtiers no longer need to report official titles.

Emperor Yonghui nodded with satisfaction.

Although the reward was given for Fan Zheng's sake, Jiang Baizhi remembered to thank her and was also an informed person.

Although going to the temple seems a bit reckless, it is not a big deal.

"The doctor's teachings are very strict and his mind is right. He can be a model for the world. He is well-deserved for my commendation."

Emperor Yonghui praised him.

Jiang Baizhi gritted her teeth and hesitated: "Your Majesty loves you so much, but it's hard for me to take responsibility for it. I'm sorry for my lies. Your Majesty doesn't pay enough attention to the medical profession, and it may even cause disaster in the future."

Chu Suiliang's eyes widened with anger, and he shouted loudly: "How bold! How dare you, a humble subordinate, dare to talk about the Supreme Being!"

According to the regulations of the Ministry of Rites, all Yixia people are called the emperor as "Emperor", and his ministers are called "Supreme" both internally and externally. The emperor calls himself "I", and his ministers report to the emperor as "Your Majesty".

Jiang Baizhi trembled, and Fan Zheng was displeased to leave the office: "Your servant is threatening the doctor like this. Could it be that he is harming your interests?"

Chu Suiliang said angrily: "The emperor's merits and demerits are discussed by all the ministers. How can it be said that he is just a court official?"

Fan Zheng protested: "The intention of your right servant is to block everyone's mouth, and only your family is allowed to speak in this world? Your Majesty has not spoken yet, why are you so impatient to keep silent?"

Fan Zheng can believe that Chu Suiliang was not involved in the incident - he doesn't like this huge benefit, but Chu Suiliang's attitude is really disgusting.

Chu Suiliang flicked his sleeves and remained silent.

Fan Zheng has already pointed out "sealing it", and if he continues to make noises, he will have ulterior motives.

Emperor Yonghui looked at Chu Suiliang, his eyes a little cold.

"The Tang Dynasty embraced hundreds of rivers, and there was no such thing as a prohibition of words based on respect and inferiority. There is no harm in what you say if you ask me to go to court. Even if there are deviations, I will not offend anyone because of my words."

Emperor Yonghui's words were like a big ear scraper hitting Chu Suiliang's face back and forth.

The phrase "the sea embraces all rivers" directly accused Chu Suiliang of being without mercy, which made Chu Suiliang's face turn blue.

Even though Chu Suiliang was angry, he could only hold it in.After all, Changsun Wuji's eyes had already glanced over coldly.

Fan Zheng's words "Only your family's words" were so poisonous that even Chu Suiliang couldn't defend himself.

Jiang Baizhi straightened her mind: "I believe that medicine is originally a medicine that can help the world and save people, and there should not be any deviation. However, there are no less than five kinds of medicines on the market that I know of are counterfeit, just for ginseng."

"If you take this fake medicine when ginseng saves your life, it is not yet known whether the medicine will cure the disease or cure the life."

"If it's poisonous...hehe."

When Jiang Baizhi's words came out, even Chu Suiliang broke into a cold sweat.

There are few high-ranking officials who don’t have one or two ginseng sticks stored in their homes. But if ginseng turns into poison, I ask you if you are afraid!
Emperor Yonghui would not only listen to the opinions of one family, so he summoned Tao Zhiqiu, the imperial doctor of the Provincial Pharmacy Bureau in the palace, to question him.

Don't look at the fact that Shang Yao Bureau has Zhi Chang and Feng Yu in addition to serving the imperial doctor. The only one who the Emperor Yonghui can barely trust is Tao Zhiqiu.

When Tao Zhiqiu heard what Jiang Baizhi said, he took a deep look at him and raised his wat to reply: "Tao Zhiqiu, the medical minister of the Provincial Pharmacy Bureau in the palace, reported to your majesty that there is a case of counterfeit medicine."

"But I don't know whether it is still in stock at Shang Pharmacy. The storage of medicines is the responsibility of the director."

Good guy, I pushed it all away.

Tao Zhiqiu corrected some of Fan Zheng's misconceptions. There are 12 chief pharmacists and 30 drug boys in Shang Pharmacy. They don't care about the pharmacy. They scrape, peel, pound and sift with their hands.

Emperor Yonghui's eyes were filled with anger: "In this case, I will ask the minister and the imperial doctor to inspect the pharmacy of Shang Yao Bureau, and the ministers and ministers and Fan Qing will bear witness."

It's not that I don't want to bring all the courtiers with me, but there are more than a hundred courtiers and they can't be crowded at all.

Fengyu and Zhichang had grimaces on their faces, looking at Jiang Baizhi talking freely in the pharmacy, feeling secretly annoyed.

Why do those greedy old guys have to drive people crazy?

Look, the table was turned over, right?
Which profession is free from some dirty deeds, and how many people are completely innocent?

"Your Majesty, please take a look. This ginseng is shaped like a spindle and vaguely human-like. Judging from its description, it seems to be the genuine Liaodong red ginseng."

"However, it is dark brown in color, has no texture, has no fibrous roots, has no rhizome at the top, and has a yellowish-white cross section. This is actually Huashan ginseng."

"Although Huashan ginseng has the name of ginseng, it has nothing to do with ginseng. It is the rhizome of Asparagus infundibulum. It is named after Huashan Mountain's prolific yield, and its price is far lower than that of ginseng."

"Huashan ginseng is also a kind of medicinal material. It tastes sweet, slightly bitter, and is warm in nature. It warms the lungs and eliminates phlegm, relieves asthma and coughs, calms the nerves and calms convulsions. However, it should not be taken in large quantities, and it is not suitable for taking it at all due to certain diseases."

If the person who uses the medicine is not careful, Huashan ginseng will really overpower the red ginseng, and it will be a trivial matter whether the disease can be cured or not.

The most important reason for Huashan to complement each other is of course the huge benefits.

If no one opens the scab, the pus in Shang Yao Bureau will not flow out. Choose an opportunity to announce that the medicinal materials have been stored for too long and are invalid, and they will naturally cover it up.

It is impossible for these fake medicines to be sent to the imperial doctor for use.

The expressions on the ministers' faces began to change. One by one, they thought about whether the ginseng in their mansions was genuine.

"It is common to use radish root, woad root (isatis root), mountain lettuce, and platycodon as ginseng."

"When encountering those who use Phytolacca root as ginseng, the patient will be blessed. The white root is non-toxic and can be taken internally; the red root is highly toxic and can only be used externally."

Since we have encountered fake products, it is reasonable to take poisonous fake ginseng.

Jiang Baizhi's unbridled revelation made the ministers drip with cold sweat.

Who can guarantee that the ginseng they have collected with so much money is not the poisonous red-root Phytolacca vulgaris?
