Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 18 Exclusion
The matter of Cao's family was rumored throughout Jiangling, and Ye Chutang could always hear people discussing it when walking on the street.

As she walked and listened, she understood a lot.

Cao Chengwen was taken away by the Yamen people early in the morning, and he is probably being interrogated now, and the entire Cao family has also been sealed off by officials, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will.

Three lives is definitely considered a major case, and no one dares to neglect it.

Ye Chutang walked around two streets, and finally stopped in front of a pharmacy.

Seeing her coming, the clerk at the pharmacy rushed forward to greet her warmly: "Doctor Ye! You are here! Please come inside!"

The clinic Ye Chutang opened was very small, and the three in her family were all small. Except for a few that she dug up the mountain by herself, she bought most of them from big pharmacies.

Mainly for convenience.

Ye Chutang came inside, greeted shopkeeper Zhao, and handed over a purchase order as usual.

"That's all for this time."

Recently, she mainly saw Shen Yanchuan and used a lot of things. She thought it was time to come and buy some.

However, shopkeeper Zhao showed embarrassment after reading the list.

"Doctor Ye, we don't have any of the medicinal materials on here, here."

Ye Chutang was taken aback: "What?"

Shopkeeper Zhao pointed it out to her, and said, "You also know that it rained two days ago, and the roads are difficult to travel, so the medicinal materials I ordered will be delayed! Angelica, white poria cocos, and black grass are all gone!"

Ye Chutang faintly felt something was wrong in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

She said lightly: "Then take whatever is left."

Shopkeeper Zhao winked at the buddy.

After a while, the man came back with the medicinal materials, Ye Chutang just took a look and smiled.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, it's not the first day for me to come to your house. You know that I won't want something of this age and quality."

He didn't say what he wanted, but in the end, all the defective products were brought out, which was clearly intended to scare her off.

Shopkeeper Zhao opened his mouth, and could only say, "Doctor Ye, that's really all we have left. If you don't like it, why don't you—go to another place to have a look?"

Ye Chutang raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at him quietly.

Shopkeeper Zhao has already looked away guiltily, and deliberately shouted at the clerk: "What are you doing in a daze! There is a layer of dust on the medicine cabinet! I don't even know how to wipe it off! What does this sound like!"

Ye Chutang simply said goodbye.

She went to another pharmacy on the same street and, as expected, got a very similar answer.

——The medicinal materials are not complete, so they cannot be sold.

After coming out of the third pharmacy empty-handed, Ye Chutang didn't waste any more time and went home directly.

In the evening, Ye Jingyan and Ye Yunfeng brothers finished class, and as soon as they got home, Ye Jingyan went directly to the pharmacy.

But soon, he came out with an unexpected look on his face, and asked Ye Chutang who was packing and drying herbs in the yard, "Sister, didn't you come back today to buy new herbs?"

Auntie mentioned it in the morning, so he was ready to pack his things as soon as he came back, but he didn't add anything.

Ye Chutang simply repeated what happened before.

Ye Jingyan frowned gradually: "So, they didn't sell it to us on purpose? But why did they do that?"

Ye Chutang didn't even raise his head: "Why else, it's because I offended someone."

"Offending someone? But we—" Ye Jingyan suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed slightly, "Could it be... the Cao family?"

But the current Cao family should be full of money, how can they still have the energy to embarrass them?
"I heard that Boss Cao has returned to Jiangling." Ye Chutang said.

Cao Deping was away before, and after receiving the news of Cao Chengwu's death, he immediately rushed back without stopping. Unexpectedly, just after arriving home, Cao Chengwen went in again because of suspicion of murder.

What a coincidence.

As for why he targeted Ye Chutang as soon as he came back... Naturally, Cao Chengwen's help was indispensable.

Calculating the time, Cao Chengwen should have joined forces with these pharmacies to target her long ago, but she has been busy the past few days and didn't care about buying medicinal materials, so now she realizes something is wrong.

The Cao family is a big family in Jiangling, and they are very well connected. It couldn't be easier to clean up Ye Chutang's family from outsiders.

If it weren't for Ye Chutang's outstanding medical skills and respect from everyone, the situation today would have been even worse.

She may not even be able to enter the door of the pharmacy.

Ye Jingyan became worried: "Then what should we do?"

Isn't it too ridiculous to open a medical clinic without medicine?

Ye Chutang didn't seem to think the matter was serious: "It's simple. The big deal is that we won't sell the medicinal materials, but just write prescriptions, and let them go outside to get the medicine by themselves, it's the same."

Ye Jingyan pursed her lips tightly.

Although Ajie's tone was relaxed, he knew very well that the trouble this time was definitely not small.

If these pharmacies really unite against them, then what awaits them later will definitely be more difficult problems to solve!

"Sister! The meal is ready!"

Ye Yunfeng has been busy in the kitchen and did not hear their conversation.

Ye Chutang put away the last medicinal material.

"Eat first, let's talk about other things later, go and bring Xiao Wu over for dinner."

Ye Jingyan was still worried in his heart, but since Ajie said so, he could only do as he said.

However, just as he turned to leave, Ye Chutang's eyes suddenly froze.

"Wait. Ah Yan, what's the matter with the injury on your hand?"

Ye Jingyan was startled, and subconsciously wanted to hide his hands, but meeting Ye Chutang's eyes, he stopped his movements again.

At this time, Ye Yunfeng just came over, and when he heard this, he immediately said indignantly: "I'm not the master!"

Of course, Ye Chutang could also see that the two bright red marks on Ah Yan's palm were left by the ruler.

In the past, this happened in A Feng's hands, but A Yan has always been smart and reserved, never causing trouble, how could this be so?
Ye Jingyan explained: "It's nothing, it's just that during class, the master asked me questions, and I didn't answer them, so I was punished."

What questions can't he answer?
It is clear that the master deliberately made things difficult!

Ye Chutang was quiet for a moment, and didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, let's eat first."

Ye Jingyan nodded slightly.

……

Ye Chutang didn't feel comfortable eating this meal.

It was clear that someone was deliberately targeting them.

And Ye Chutang could guess who pushed all this to happen without thinking, it must be the Cao family.

But this is not the key, the key is how to solve it.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy can sell the medicinal materials to whoever he wants, and the master of the academy can teach whoever he wants to teach. It's a personal grudge.

They embarrass you as much as they can, so what can you do?
However, not long after, something happened that Ye Chutang didn't expect.

——Cao Chengwen was taken to the Yamen for interrogation for three days and was released without charge.
