The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 180: Mismatched Prescriptions
Bai Zhi got tired of listening to the sidelines, and it was just an ordinary contest in the officialdom.

She walked to the counter, picked up the accounting notes, and quickly wrote a prescription.

"Here, hurry up and get the medicine according to the prescription."

Bai Zhi handed Fang Zi to a small leader of the servants next to him.

The little boss took the prescription with both hands and responded flattered: "I have the order, I will do it now."

But Bai Zhi shook her head and sighed: "You should stay here and guard the scene. I will go to the pharmacy to buy the medicine formula myself. If one of the herbs is not selected properly, it is very likely that the best time for treatment will be missed, and these poisoned people will have to take care of it." life."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked out of Yiming Tea House.

Seeing this, Shen Changyan left Wang Shangshu behind and chased after him.

"Zhi'er, I'll accompany you."

Bai Zhi did not refuse. The two of them went to the drug store and took the medicine according to the prescription. However, they were missing one herb, honeysuckle.

It was a very common herbal medicine. Bai Zhi didn't pay attention to it. She went to the next store, but to her surprise, there was still nothing.

Now she felt a little puzzled, honeysuckle is not a rare herb, which pharmacy doesn't have it?
The third house, the fourth house... without exception, there is no honeysuckle.

And all the shopkeepers gave the same answer. The honeysuckle flowers in the drug store were bought at a price ten times higher than usual.

Now, Bai Zhi understood, who would keep such a high price privately?

"broken."

She couldn't help but sigh, and stood slumped, at a loss.

Shen Changyan's face darkened when he saw this, but his voice was still soft and warm.

"Zhi'er, can this herbal medicine be missing?"

Bai Zhizheng nodded emphatically: "Yes, without the honeysuckle flowers, the poison cannot be cured. I predict that all the medicine shops in the capital must have no honeysuckle flowers. Now they are sold at a high price, and then they will be sold at a higher price. This is preparing for a windfall."

Shen Changyan frowned and asked, "So serious?"

"Otherwise? Why are they playing this game?" Bai Zhi sneered.

"I'll go to the palace and have a look."

Shen Changyan left a sentence and went straight to the Imperial Palace Hospital.

Bai Zhi went back to Yiming Tea House and asked Wang Shangshu to come forward to find honeysuckle flowers in the capital and even other places. She herself used acupuncture to control the poisoning of the poisoned people to control the poisonous internal organs.

Soon Shen Changyan came back.

One look at his expression, Bai Zhi understood, but found nothing again.

"What's going on in the Tai Hospital?" she asked calmly.

Shen Changyan sighed softly: "It's a coincidence that many concubines, princes and princesses in the palace have caught colds these days, and their throats are sore... The imperial doctor ordered to boil water with honeysuckle flowers, which controlled the spread of the disease in the palace. Come on, the Tai Hospital has also run out of honeysuckle flowers. But they have ordered people to go to the Queen's land to purchase honeysuckle flowers."

Bai Zhi is not optimistic about this, and the matter is by no means a coincidence.

How to do?
She couldn't find an herb that could replace honeysuckle as a compound.

And those who are poisoned, if they cannot detoxify within three days, they will surely die, and it is useless if the gods come.

The people Wang Shangshu sent out to look for honeysuckle came back one after another, and without exception they returned empty-handed.

Almost at the same time, there was also news from the Tai Hospital.

A fire broke out in the warehouse of the Queen's supply of honeysuckle flowers, and all the honeysuckle flowers were lost by the fire.

Bai Zhi understood that the method of finding honeysuckle flowers in the market would definitely not work.

"Wang Shangshu, I want to see Shopkeeper Jiang."

She solemnly made this request to Wang Shangshu.

A hesitant expression appeared on Wang Shangshu's face, and he hesitated to answer.

Shen Changyan snorted coldly from the side: "Could it be that Wang Shangshu wants to ask someone else for instructions? Then go quickly, the lives of so many people are in your hands."

These words forced Wang Shangshu to make a decision, ordering someone to bring Jiang Baoyun,

When Bai Zhi saw Jiang Baoyun, she got straight to the point: "Baoyun, tell me what happened today, did you notice anything unusual beforehand? For example, a strange guest, or something wrong with the staff."

Jiang Baoyun's face was calm and calm. She nodded slightly, saluted and said, "There is nothing unusual when I return to the county master."

Bai Zhi frowned when she heard this, how could there be no abnormalities in the collective poisoning?

Moreover, she checked the water, tea leaves, teapots and other utensils in the teahouse, and they were all fine.

"Then there was nothing unusual in the past few days?" Bai Zhi took some time to ask again.

Jiang Baoyun thought for a while and replied: "Probably not, but the guy from the Yuelai Teahouse opposite had a dispute with our teahouse guy. Although the two sides didn't fight, the Yuelai Teahouse guy released a few bats to bite our teahouse guys. A few times. All the guys were bitten, and the bat flew into our teahouse and disappeared, and probably flew away again later."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi understood that the problem was the bats.

"Can you let me see the wounds of the bitten guys?"

Bai Zhi turned to look at Wang Shangshu, with obvious displeasure in her voice.

Something happened at Yiming Teahouse. Both the shopkeeper and the waiter were the victims. Instead, they were taken away. Now it is very inconvenient to inquire about the case.

Shen Changyan waved his hand, and regardless of Wang Shangshu's response, he directly ordered: "Go and bring all the teahouse guys."

When the guards heard this, they all looked at Wang Shangshu.

Wang Shangshu also waved at them: "Your Majesty told me, don't you hurry up?"

The guards took orders and left.

Wang Shangshu explained to Bai Zhi apologetically: "Xianghe County Lord, this case is special. The tea guest was poisoned. Only the shopkeeper and the waiter are safe. The subordinate has to temporarily detain them until the case is interrogated to find out the case."

Bai Zhi chuckled and said nothing.

The poisoned tea drinkers have temporarily controlled the toxicity and continue to invade the internal organs.

Bai Zhi carefully checked every corner and beam in the teahouse, looking for bats that might be hiding.

But after searching, no trace of the apex was found.

But tea drinker poisoning is definitely a source of poison.

She unconsciously frowned and fell into thought.

The police officer came with a few guys.

Bai Zhi checked the wounds on different parts of their bodies and concluded that they were bitten by bats.

The area around the wound was black and there were signs of poisoning, but the guys said they didn't feel any discomfort.

The poison in the wound was completely inconsistent with the body's reaction.

Bai Zhi couldn't understand it either.

She carefully inspected the wounds of several guys again.

Shen Changyan whispered from the side: "Zhi'er, do you think the location of their wounds is very distinctive?"

Bai Zhi looked up at him and asked expectantly: "What are the characteristics?"

"This guy's wound is on his hand, that guy's wound is on his shoulder, and for him, the wound is on his lip..." Shen Changyan pointed at the guys' wounds one by one and said, "Are their wounds all related to the tea guests directly or indirectly?" Any chance of contact?”

An expression of joy appeared on Bai Zhi's face, she nodded and smiled: "You and I have the same idea. Hold the tea leaves in your hands, put a towel on your shoulders, and spittle will fly out when you talk..."
