Chapter 2647 The Capital ([-])

"Yes, the trade name is Chen Liji." Concubine Tian replied, "His family's medicines are all sold by Changchuntang."

Since Chen Liji entered into a joint venture with an Australian, the shopkeeper originally wanted to open a branch in the capital to sell various patent medicines, but the Senate was concerned that Chen Liji was a famous name in Guangzhou and was quite famous.If the two sides fight in the future, it may be difficult to preserve the name in the capital, so they secretly bought a small medicine shop in the capital through the channel of Runshitang on Shanhai [-]th Road, and renamed it Changchuntang.While continuing to sell traditional decoction pieces, on the other hand, consignment sales of various pills, creams and powders of Chen Liji and Run Shitang.In the past few years, he has also become quite famous in the capital.

Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, safety medicines are prepared in the palace and presented to the emperor and harem masters.It is nothing more than a herbal medicine such as Niuhuang Qingxin Dan and Zijinding to deal with common diseases such as cold and diarrhea in summer heat.Among them, there is also Biwensan enshrined in Changchun Hall.

Chongzhen was a little bit annoyed at the fact that the medicine of the Kun bandits had spread so widely, but when he thought about it, the items of the Kun bandits in the capital had already been everywhere.Up to the harem and down to Lishu, they have more or less been in contact with Kunhuo, so what are these safe medicines?

Thinking of "Ping Kun's Notes" and "Kun Shi Zhilu" all mentioning that the Kun thief is "many wise and close to demons" and "omnipotent", he secretly felt regretful in his heart. It would be great if it could be used by the imperial court!Why worry that the bandits will not be destroyed, and the captives in the east will not be flattened!

"Wang Zunde wronged the country!" He murmured.His expression was fierce.Concubine Tian was startled, she didn't know who Wang Zunde was.But it will never end well if the emperor is furious.

She didn't dare to say much, she just stayed silently at the side, and after a while, the emperor suddenly asked: "Concubine, let me ask you, does your father have any property in Guangzhou?"

These words were like five thunderbolts, Concubine Tian Gui's heart trembled. Although she knew little about her father's property, she knew a lot of things that her natal family did evil by relying on their status as "Head of the State".

If it was an ordinary matter, the emperor would laugh it off when he knew it, but adding the word "Guangzhou" would be very bad.Quite suspected that her father had the intention of colluding with the Kun thief.

Wu Mengming didn't dare to hide it: "It's Wang Yehao, Shangshu of the Ministry of War."

"There is such a person. His name is Zhou Lezhi. He claims to be from Shanyin County, Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang Province. He is now renting a house in Chongxiao Temple to practice medicine."

"It's here."

Could it be that Cao Huachun and others gave him eye drops?Whether it's her or her father, the relationship with the eunuchs is justified, and the meanings that should be there on weekdays are also very interesting, and there is no enmity between the two - could it be the officials outside?
While trying to figure out the emperor's state of mind, she said cautiously:

Speaking of Zheng Zhilong, Wu Mengming naturally knew about it.He hurriedly reported: "I don't know about this matter, I will report to the emperor after I send someone to investigate and find out."

Now he is eager to know where this person went to the capital and who he met.Zheng Sen sent him here, obviously hoping to gain the support of the emperor, he wanted to see which important officials in the capital this young man in Fujian regarded as Austrian aid.

"What's this person's name?" Chongzhen asked after hearing Wu Mengming's report.

Fortunately, Chongzhen did not pursue this question any further, but turned to another topic: "Has anyone from Fujian's commander Zheng Sen come to the capital recently?"

This question is really difficult to answer. Wu Mingmeng's forehead began to sweat instantly. He thought for a moment and said: "Master Wang recommended him because someone fell ill in Mr. Tian's family. Besides, Wei Wei I haven't seen any other contacts between them."

"It's called Qian Taichong."

Chongzhen nodded, quite satisfied with Wu Mengming's answer.He went on to ask: "What is the relationship between Master Wang and Master Tian of Jinyiwei recently?"

In ancient times, most doctors did not have fixed clinics, and wandering parties rang bells to attract business.If the business in a certain place is good, they will also rent a house for a short-term clinic, and the location is mostly a temple or a Taoist temple.

Chongzhen didn't know that there was such a past between Aifei's natal family and the Kun thief, so he didn't mean to ask this question originally, he just wanted to know more about the Kun thief.Concubine Tian is from her own family, so she is more honest than playing with ministers.

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. No matter how powerful the thief is, he must also have a heart for fame and fortune. As long as he is restrained like this, the heroes of the world will not enter His Majesty's net..." Concubine Tian comforted her.

Chongzhen thought it was right, if he was born in the official imperial examination, it is unlikely that he would run for Zheng Sen, a young man in an awkward position.

"Do you know which family is behind him?"

Wu Mengming left the palace, returned to the yamen, and immediately sent his subordinates to investigate.Within a few days, news was sent back that several Fujian officials had indeed come to the capital.Among them, Ren Man was full of confidence and came to report to the Ministry of Officials; some came to the capital on business trips.But these people have nothing to do with the Zheng family.It wasn't until I inquired about the Fujian Guild Hall in the capital that I learned that a school inspector from the Zhangzhou Haiphong Tongzhi Yamen came to Beijing to handle errands.

Wu Mengming was stunned by this thoughtless question.He didn't know who Zheng Sen was. Commander was of high rank, but it was only a military post in the guard. If he had no other posts, he would basically be equivalent to the false title of a military man.There are hundreds of such people in Daming, how could Wu Mengming remember coming here.

In fact, Wu Mengming played sloppy here.The relationship between Wang Yehao and Tian Guozhang did not start warming up recently. It should be said that after Zhou Lezhi entered Beijing in April, Wang Yehao used this genius doctor to get in touch with Tian Guozhang's family.Dr. Zhou began seeing doctors for Tian's family half a year ago.The relationship between the two is now much closer than it used to be.To be honest, Wu Mengming didn't understand Wang Yehao's sudden fawning on Tian Hongyu.For "imperial relatives" like the Tian family, the ministers mostly "stay at a respectful distance", and few people are willing to make friends.Wang Yehao had already achieved the title of minister of the Ministry of War in the imperial court, and he had also served as a governor in the local area. It can be said that he has reached the end of his official career.After all, the emperor is not a person who is easily blown into the pillow.

"It is said that he is a supervisor of Nanjing Guozijian."

The emperor smiled wryly and said: "It would be great if it can be done like this!" He already had some calculations in his heart at the moment, and his heart became much more relaxed, and he said in a low voice: "Isn't the imperial concubine able to say that I can show you a beautiful flower and bird?"

Perhaps Chongzhen himself felt that such a question was inappropriate, so he added: "It is the son of the late governor and acquaintance Zheng Zhilong..."

Wu Mengming thought to himself, what kind of Tai Sui did the genius doctor do again this week, and was noticed by the emperor?Because some of his relatives and friends have received the favor of this week's miracle doctor, he intends to protect him, and said: "He entered Beijing in April this year. He visits the doctor on weekdays. He also travels in his spare time. He has a lot of friends, and most of them are patients. His relatives paid him back in gratitude for his hand."

The inspector is an insignificant official in the Tongzhi yamen, and generally speaking, it is unlikely that he will be sent to the capital for business.He also had to know from the population of the Fujian Guild Hall that he did not go to any yamen to do business, and no officials visited him.But this person goes out every day.He made a lot of friends in the capital.

"Which issue is the subject name?"

At the beginning, my father was instigated by someone who sent his family to Guangzhou, saying that he wanted to take back an estate.Not to mention that it didn't work out, even the family members who were sent there died inexplicably in Guangzhou.Concubine Tian didn't take it seriously at first, but she didn't expect to find out later that the property her father coveted was actually owned by a thief!

Seeing Chongzhen's intentions, Concubine Tian didn't seem to hate the thieves very much. She was the smartest, knowing that the emperor probably had the heart to be gentle and comfort the thieves.However, she is well versed in the emperor's temperament, and such matters can only be "figured out" by the ministers and workers.

"Chongxiao Temple, isn't it Baizhifang Zaohua Temple?"

Jin Yiwei's patrol in the capital is the strictest, with many eyes and ears.Jin Yiwei has noticed this genius doctor Zhou since he became famous in the capital.

"How long has this person been in the capital? Apart from practicing medicine and selling medicine, has he done anything else?"

Chongxiao Temple is a well-known temple in the capital, because there is a jujube orchard with thousands of jujube trees in the northeast of the Buddhist scriptures pavilion. The flowers are fragrant like honey in early summer, and red as clouds in autumn, so it was called Chongxiao Temple.

It is said that for this matter, the city of Guangzhou was once full of wind and rain.It took a lot of effort for the Tian family to calm things down.

"I see that there are a lot of Australian goods in the imperial concubine's palace, that's why I asked this question." Chongzhen said, "Although there are many ingenious and ingenious things in the imperial concubine, there are also many things that benefit the country and the people. It's just that they can't be used by the court!" After all, I am quite sorry.

"Your Majesty, the maidservant's family was originally in Shaanxi, but later moved to Yangzhou. Guangli is remote, and there are no relatives and friends. It is beyond the reach of the whip. Where can I buy a property?"

Because of this past incident, Concubine Tian Gui was especially afraid that someone would mention the relationship between the Tian family and Guangzhou.Several years have passed since this matter, why was it suddenly brought up by the emperor again?

"You went and checked me quickly. This person probably came to the capital from Fujian." The emperor said.

Shortly after lunch on the second day, the emperor called Wu Mengming, the commander of Jinyiwei, in the Wuying Hall, and asked him if he knew the very famous "Master Zhou Doctor" in the capital recently.

Wu Mengming didn't dare to hide anything, and immediately listed the officials Qian Taichong visited, Chongzhen glanced at the list, most of these people were from Fujian, and there were also some old relationships between Zheng Zhilong and Zou Weilian in the past.

In fact, Qian Taichong also visited Cao Huachun and other eunuchs, but Wu Mengming did not list them.

"What did he come to the capital for?" Chongzhen was a little surprised. This Zheng Sen had already taken up his post, and he was not yet a weak crown, and he had no academic title.Moreover, he ran back and forth for a month or two, and met such a court official again, obviously there were more important matters.

"This, I didn't find out about it." Wu Mengming bowed and said, "But I have already arranged someone to watch him secretly. As long as the emperor has his order, I will take him down for interrogation."
