Jiaochu

Chapter 157 Yangzhou Governor ([-])

After Commander Wu left, about a quarter of an hour later, Bai Hu came back with medicinal materials, but there was missing some winter cicada grass.

This medicinal material is not a rare and rare medicine, but it pays special attention to the season. It only emerges from the snow a few days before and after the winter solstice. It disappears once the season is over. It has the effect of clearing away heat and removing fire, but this medicinal material has a strong The ladies in the palace didn't like the special earthy smell, so the imperial doctors rarely used this medicinal material, and some even didn't know it existed in the warehouse.Bai Hu memorized the types and inventory of all the medicinal materials during the years when he was drying medicinal materials in the imperial hospital. Before being accepted as a disciple by Han Taiyi, he remembered that there was a pack of winter cicada grass in the warehouse, about [-] taels, but he was in the warehouse. He searched for it but could not find the bag of winter cicada. When he asked Li Gui, Li Gui hesitated for a while, saying that he had remembered it wrong, and that it had been taken away. He remained silent and did not explain clearly.He didn't ask to the end and came to the inn first with the rest of the medicinal materials.

After a cup of tea, the plainclothes guard who sent the white pot back bought a pack of winter cicada grass from a medicine shop outside.

After all the medicinal materials were available, Bai Hu went to the kitchen to cook the medicine.

Ye Lingxi quietly moved towards the door, then moved a little further. When she saw that there were only two steps away, she slipped out like a rabbit.After seeing Bai Hu in the kitchen, she asked Bai Hu if he had passed the examination at Tai Hospital. Bai Hu replied that there was still a month left.

Making fire to decoct medicine and controlling the heat, Bai Hu was very skilled at doing these things, while Ye Lingxi could only watch.Seeing Bai Hu staring at the medicine jar and the small flame in the stove meticulously, she also stared at these two.Listening to the gurgling sound coming from the jar, the pitch-black lid jumped and fell, and the rich medicinal aroma made people dizzy. She felt that cooking medicine was quite interesting.

About half an hour later, Bai Hu came back with the cooked medicine.

After Qiu Yu took the medicine, Imperial Physician Han checked his pulse and found that the pulse condition improved. Only then did Ye Lingjue and Ye Lingxi leave the post house.

As soon as the two people came out, a black shadow rushed over, and Dong Mo immediately stepped forward to stop the black shadow.

It turned out to be Xiao Hei.

Ye Lingxi was wondering why Zhao Ce let the dog run around on the street. The next moment, the other party ran over with a look of surprise on his face, "It's really you! The little black nose is really smart~" He looked again Looking at the post house at the back, he asked curiously, "What are you doing here?" It seemed that he had forgotten that His Highness Ye Lingjue was also here.

"My second brother and I came to see Master Qiu," Ye Lingxi said.

Only then did Zhao Ce realize that there was another person standing next to him. Seeing that face that showed no emotion or anger, he instinctively hid behind Ye Lingxi, like a mouse seeing a cat.Ye Lingjue didn't embarrass him, he glanced at him and looked back.

"Brother Shizi, can Xiao Hei lend me a loan?" Looking at Xiao Hei's round black eyes, Ye Lingxi suddenly came up with an idea.

Zhao Ce readily agreed. If someone wanted to borrow his dog, he would have raised his neck and pointed the back of his head at them.

Ye Lingxi whispered a few words to her second brother. Ye Lingjue gave orders to Dong Mo. After a while, Dong Mo came over with a guard.

Then, the guard took the group to the place where they met the beggar yesterday.

"Take out your money bag." Ye Lingxi said straight to the point.

The guard took out the money bag without knowing why. After Ye Lingxi took it, he gave it to Xiao Hei to smell the smell on it. Then Xiao Hei arched his nose and lowered his head to smell it on the ground.

Seeing that Xiao Hei had not chosen a direction after sniffing for several times, Ye Lingxi had given up hope. After all, a day had passed, and silver did not have an obvious smell like rouge and gouache.Suddenly, Xiao Hei raised his nose, like a sensitive hunter holding on to the scent of prey and never letting go. He ran towards the alley next to him.

Ye Lingxi felt happy, that was the direction where she saw the beggar disappear yesterday.

After running through the alley, Xiao Hei put his nose to the ground and sniffed around again, and then ran towards the east. Even Zhao Ce couldn't hold him back when running with his muscular limbs.

The beautiful scene of a group of people chasing a dog running in the sun made passersby stop and look back.

Ye Lingjue's expressionless face also revealed a hint of helplessness, as if he was confused as to why he would do such a thing...

When Xiao Hei stopped again, the group arrived at the entrance of Dongshi.

"Why are you here? Does the person who stole your money live there?" Zhao Ce thought it was the guard who had his money stolen.

The guard didn't know how to answer. At this time, Xiao Hei started running again. Zhao Ce didn't pay attention, and the sole of his foot slipped. He was dragged directly into the East Market with the rope, causing the surrounding vendors to burst into laughter.

Ye Lingxi shouted to Xiao Hei to stop, and the dog sat on the ground obediently.Only then did Zhao Ce get up from the ground in disgrace, and angrily walked up to Xiao Hei. He held one breath in his throat and took another deep breath, swallowing it back. After all, he didn't want to get angry at Gouzi. The next moment, he held back his anger. The depressed mood in his stomach was swept away because Ye Lingxi came over and patted the dust off his clothes. After patting him twice, Dong Mo took over and patted Zhao Ce back and forth several times.

When passing a rouge and gouache shop, Xiao Hei was disoriented by the fragrance wafting from the shop. He was spinning in circles, looking very hesitant. When a faint wind blew, Xiao Hei decisively ran to the alley on the right, and ran away. Three alleys later, a group of people entered a cockfighting ring.

Two majestic big roosters were having a fierce battle on the stage. A black shadow jumped up on the stage, jumping up and down excitedly. One of the big roosters was so frightened that it flapped its wings and flew away from everyone's head. The crowd was running rampant, the building was buzzing with excitement, and it was extremely lively.

Seeing Xiao Hei running happily after the big rooster, Ye Lingxi knew that the dog "went astray" after smelling the smell of chicken.
"What's the noise!"

This loud shout was like thunder exploding above everyone's heads, and the building immediately fell silent.

The owner of the voice came down from upstairs with two iron walnuts in his hand. He looked to be in his forties or fifty, with a strong build and rough features, exuding a fierce and violent aura.

"That's Mr. Hu, the boss here." Zhao Ce whispered to Ye Lingxi. The title sounded familiar to her, and she remembered it after thinking about it. It happened during the Hundred Flowers Banquet, when Hu Yuhan was plotted against. He even got a slap on the head.

A figure quietly moved behind Ye Lingjue, and his hand fell away before it touched the other person's shoulder. Ye Lingjue took a step to the side and looked back.Hu Yuhan pretended to be nonchalant and greeted with a smile, "I didn't expect to meet Your Highness here." She waved to Ye Lingxi and praised, "We haven't seen each other for a few days, and the princess has become beautiful again."

Ye Lingxi: "..." His eyes are so nice...
