Chapter 87
"I don't know what you're talking about. By the way, sister Yunxi, will the Fourth Prince and Palace Master He come by then?"

Thinking of those two peerless beauties, Ji Tonglin still seemed to want to see them very much.

"They want to investigate the source of the plague. The plague in the border town this time is too strange, and in order to prevent the plague from sweeping again, they must investigate clearly."

"Ji Tonglin, is your home the place with the most medicinal materials in the city?"

As expected of a family of medicine, from the moment he entered the door, the room was filled with the smell of medicinal materials, and Bu Jingyu liked this smell very much.

"Well, in fact, our family is the only one in the whole city who sells medicinal materials, because my family's medicines are of the best quality and the most reasonable value."

Speaking of her family's medicinal material business, Ji Tonglin was very proud.

"Is that so, how many people know about medicine? It stands to reason that all the prescriptions prescribed by doctors in the whole city will be taken from your shop? Is it possible to have it in other places?"

The more I think about it, the more I feel that the source of the plague may be in Ji Tonglin's home. If only the people in their family know the pharmacology best, it is possible to prepare tonic or poison.

"Hey, Bu Jingyu, why do you have so many questions? Don't you suspect that the plague is caused by my house?"

For Bu Jingyu's so many questions, Ji Tonglin felt a little annoyed, this damned prince, wouldn't really think that the plague belonged to their family, right?

In fact, when Bu Jingyu and Qiao Yunxi discovered Ji Tonglin at the beginning, they felt very strange. The plague on her body did not seem to be an ordinary plague. In addition to the upgrade of the ordinary plague, there was also a pathogen on her body. Jing Yu didn't extract the healing pills so quickly.

"No, Bu Jingyu just thought that the medicinal materials in your home smell very good, so I asked curiously, don't think too much, and if the plague recurs, we can develop new medicines in time."

Qiao Yunxi understood Bu Jingyu's thoughts, and came back with Ji Tonglin just to know what happened in their family and why there were pathogens on Ji Tonglin's body.

"Well, actually, I've been used to asking since I was a child. There are exaggerated rumors from outsiders that the mice that escaped from our Jifu can strengthen their health after eating, so there are ordinary people who can't afford the medicine and hide at the back door waiting to catch the mice. .”

"Later, when my father found out, he reprimanded those ignorant people. Rats are the source of the plague. They cannot be eaten at all, or they will be contagious."

For some reason, he talked about the past. Ji Tonglin still remembers such an outrageous time.

"There is such a thing, how did those mice deal with it later?"

Qiao Yunxi and Bu Jingyu were amazed by what Ji Tonglin said. Ji's medicinal materials are so powerful that they can even cure mice, but mice have plague.

"I also want to know if those rats were really eaten by the common people? If so, then the plague is justifiable."

When Bu Jingyu heard Ji Tonglin's words, he was also very surprised, but who spread the news that mice can also be cured, and when did it start.

If those people really ate rats, they would definitely be infected with the plague. Speaking of which, the symptoms of the plague they saw were indeed very similar to the plague, but they didn't look very similar.

"Part of it was because it was too late to stop the people's stupid behavior, so they ate it all. My father bought the rest back for a tael of silver. My second uncle did it."

"It's really scary to say, I've never seen any mice in the mansion, but the second uncle actually spent 200 million taels of silver to recover those mice, that means there are 200 million mice running rampant in the Ji mansion?"

"You don't know, when the second uncle destroyed those recycled mice, it looked shocking and terrifying. I thought all the mice in the city were here."

When thinking of the scene of burning down the drug mice, Ji Tonglin felt horrible and couldn't eat for several days.

"So that's the case. It seems that we have to go back and inform the fourth brother. The source should have a clue."

Rats are the plague, and everything started with poisoned rats. Fortunately, Ji Tonglin still remembered this incident, but how could her parents die so suddenly.

"Tonglin, have you ever seen the corpses of your parents? If a person dies from the plague, the symptoms must remain at the moment of death. Based on the symptoms of other people who died from the plague, is there any new discovery? , do your parents have any other last words for you?"

Silly girl Ji Tonglin has always been a fool, she believes whoever says it.

"No, I didn't look at anything. I just fainted that day. By the way, why did I faint suddenly?"

Said that she fainted suddenly, Ji Tonglin suddenly remembered that she just felt a pain in her chest at that time, and then passed out immediately.

"Although you have been seriously ill before, you don't look like the kind of person who is so weak that you will faint when you are stimulated. Otherwise, you would not be infected by the plague and run out of the city."

"So after you fainted, I felt very strange. At that time, I wondered if there was some kind of plague from my medicine."

The three of them were chatting together, Qiao Yunxi suddenly noticed that there was a servant in the corner who was very strange, his eyes kept looking here, as if he was eavesdropping on purpose.

Just as Ji Tonglin was about to answer Bu Jingyu's words, Qiao Yunxi pinched her palm, implying that she should stop talking. She felt that there was a real problem here, how could there be so many tricks in a small middle school attached to a merchant.

"Sister, what's the matter?" Ji Tonglin was suddenly grabbed by Qiao Yunxi's palm, and felt a little painful from being pinched.

"It's okay, Tong Lin, can we go and see your medicine shop?"

Suddenly, I want to know how big Ji Tonglin's family's medicine business is, and why there are so many problems.

"Well, I'm afraid it won't work. Now that my parents are dead, my body hasn't recovered yet, so my second uncle is looking after the medicine shop, and brother Zixuan will help take care of it. If I want to go, I have to go to them."

It's a bit embarrassing, Ji Tonglin was not very interested in business since she was a child, she was only interested in medicinal materials.

"So that's how it is. It's just that I didn't expect such a small border town to have such a medicine shop. It's really interesting."

"Ji Tonglin, just now I saw a field in the garden with herbs?"

On the way here, I was surprised to find that there was also a small medicinal field in the small courtyard of Jifu. It was really interesting. is a rare herb.

"Well, there is a piece here, which belongs to my father. It is full of hard-to-find herbs picked from the mountains. Usually, we don't let anyone touch it. Once I accidentally stepped on it and was scolded by my father for a long time. .”

"Actually, it's not just that area. In fact, my father's backyard also has a large medicinal herb field. He regards those medicinal materials as more important than my daughter."

Saying that, Ji Tonglin took Qiao Yunxi to her father's backyard, and found that Qiao Yunxi and the others were leaving, and the servant with a mysterious look followed, always keeping a distance.

"Wangcai, you don't have to follow, I'll just go with them."

At this time, Ji Tonglin also noticed something was wrong. This servant named Wangcai always followed them not far away, as if he was serving Ji Tonglin, but he never said anything.

"Miss, the second master ordered me to follow you and serve you?"

Seeing Ji Tonglin push herself away like this, the servant named Wangcai hurried forward to explain.

"You are the second master's servant, you should dress the second master and the second wife. By the way, Wangcai, where is my maid? I have been back for so long, why haven't I seen her? I remember that she was not infected with the plague. "

The appearance of Wangcai Jiading finally reminded Ji Tonglin that she still had a maid who was close to her. That maid was also very strange. She had never been infected with the plague. Everyone in the mansion was infected, but she was the only one who did not. Remember that she came out of the house When I was young, I asked her to take good care of my parents, but I haven't seen her since I came back.

"This, little one doesn't know?"

His expression was flickering, and Wangcai's words were also evasive. When he talked about Liu Cui, he seemed very reluctant to mention it.

"Do you really don't know, or are you unwilling to say, Wangcai, did you take Liu Cui away? Liu Cui said before that you plotted against her."

Liu Cui never said that this Wangcai plotted against her, but Ji Tonglin casually said it to scare him. Ji Tonglin looked suspiciously at this person who should be serving by her second uncle Ji Junshang, but at this time she was always by her side It means several things.

"The servant really doesn't know? But the servant heard that she went out with you after you left. The second master said that she followed you to serve you. We don't know about the rest."

Ji Tonglin didn't believe what Wangcai said, because when she left, she clearly remembered to ask Liucui to take good care of her parents at home, and that girl Liucui had always listened to her the most.

"Tong Lin, don't look for Liu Cui anymore, she is now a prisoner and I have locked her up."

Just when Wangcai didn't know how to deal with it, her second aunt turned back after coaxing Wan'er, and suddenly said, when Liucui was mentioned, her face was very unhappy, which was completely different from the kind person just now. Two looks.

"Why, Second Aunt, Liu Cui is my girl, what crime has she committed?"

"I don't believe that Liu Cui will do anything to be sorry for our Ji family, why everything is so abnormal after I come back."

Liucui is Ji Tonglin's favorite girl, and also the girl she can't live without. The two grew up together and have a very good relationship. Master Ji treats Liucui very well.

"She violated the family rules and did something sorry for our Ji family."

Even if Ji Tonglin didn't look back, Ji Tonglin's second aunt still didn't make the slightest concession.

"Second Aunt, Liu Cui is my girl, even if there is something wrong with her, I, the master, should take care of it."

The naive Ji Tonglin became very serious at this time, thinking of how her girl made a mistake, Liu Cui, a girl, has always been very careful in doing things, and she is also very obedient.

"In that case, let me handle it with you."

Finding Ji Tonglin's face was very ugly, she thought that the second aunt would insist on not letting Liucui go, but in the blink of an eye, her second aunt agreed to return Liucui to her.

"Where is Liu Cui now?"

Eager to know where her maid is, Ji Tonglin can't wait for a moment.

"Don't worry, your precious maid, we didn't treat her too much, we just let her serve Wan'er."

She thought that Ji Tonglin would not come back, and she didn't know what her second aunt was going to do with Liu Cui. Who knew that Cheng Wan'er would come back with Zixuan later, and she lacked a caring maid.
