I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 298 The Last Hope
"Maybe the next one will find it!"

Without saying a word, Li Ke raised his whip and urged the horse, and went straight to the Li Mansion in Longxi, Li Junxian and Wang Zi'an followed silently.Before seeing the final result, sometimes, some things, even if you know there is no hope, you always look forward to a miracle and refuse to give up struggling.Before the last quarter of an hour, everyone was a little bit unwilling.

The current situation of the Li family is similar to that of the Wang family, both of which are in the mourning period.

Although the three of them were worried, they had no choice but to hold back their temper. According to the etiquette, they came to express their condolences and paid homage to Li Houde.Because the Li family is a royal family, the new head of the family needs to go through Zongzheng Temple and His Majesty's approval to be confirmed, but in the current state of His Majesty Li Er, the new head of the family has not yet been released, so Li Ke can only find him. Li Shenfu, the Minister of Zongzheng Temple who presided over the funeral here.

Li Shenfu lost his father when he was young, and lived in Chang'an with his elder brother Li Shentong.In the first year of Yining, that is, in 617 A.D., because his cousin Li Yuan rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, he was arrested and imprisoned by Wei Xuan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and General of Youhou Wei of the Sui Dynasty.Fortunately, after Li Yuan captured Chang'an, he successfully rescued Li Shenfu.From then on, Li Shenfu began to move towards the pinnacle of his life.Soon after, he was granted the title of Doctor Guanglu by Li Yuan, and the Duke of Anji County.

In the first year of Wude, that is, in 617, Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor and named Li Shenfu the king of Xiangyi County.In the fourth year of Wude, he was promoted to the governor of Bingzhou. In the fifth year of Wude, Li Shenfu defeated the East Turkic invasion.It can be said that during Li Yuan's reign, Li Shenfu had always held a high position and held great power. He was one of Li Yuan's most trusted ministers and one of the most prominent real power figures in the Wude Dynasty.

In the first year of Zhenguan, that is, in 627, after Tang Taizong Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, Li Shenfu entered Beijing to serve as a master craftsman, Sanqi regular servant, Zong Zhengqing, and Guanglu doctor. It can be seen from the position held.One emperor, one courtier.No matter how broad-minded Li Shimin is, it is impossible for Li Shimin to reuse his father's confidant.This is different from using Li Jiancheng's old department, because Li Jiancheng is dead, but his father, the emperor, is alive.

"I seldom go too far with the pharmacy. I really don't know if there is such a sea blue as you mentioned, but Mr. Chengde once explained before his death that you can use the medicinal materials in the pharmacy as you like..."

Li Shenfu didn't get up, turned around and told a steward beside him to take Li Ke and the three of them.There are only three juniors, and with his status, he naturally doesn't need to accompany him in person.

The Li family's prescriptions are not inferior to those of the others.Li Ke and Li Junxian did it by themselves, followed the steward of the pharmacy, and personally searched for the sea blue described by Wang Zi'an one by one.Wang Zi'an flipped through a few medicinal herbs at random, and they were all top-notch medicinal herbs, some of which have even disappeared in later generations. If this was placed in later generations, but just these few herbs, they could be sold at sky-high prices.He put it down calmly and clapped his hands.

"The Li family is worthy of a famous family. It has been passed down for hundreds of years. There are countless rare treasures in this pharmacy. It is really an eye-opener for me."

Listening to Wang Zi'an praising the collection of his own pharmacy, the pharmacy manager who was almost fat into a ball, his round chest was raised even higher, and a trace of pride appeared on his oily face. look.

"Xianzi praised it—it's just a little thing that the family occasionally collects..."

Wang Zi'an smiled at him, and gave him a capitalized MMP in his heart!

For this little thing, Lao Tzu almost broke his leg in his previous life.

"This, this, hey, and this—wrap them up for me first..."

If you don't take away a few good things, you will be sorry for your little pride.

As Wang Zi'an moved his fingers, this brother's face became more and more ugly. Every finger of Wang Zi'an seemed to touch the tip of his heart. At the end of the touch, this man's sweat Came down, almost fainting from grief.The items selected by Mr. Wang are all the most precious treasures in this pharmacy.

"This--manager, is it so hot here? Why don't you just go and cool off, and I'll do it here by myself..."

Wang Zi'an thoughtfully suggested, there is such a fat man staring at you, and every time you take one, he looks like he is about to faint, if you don't leave, you will feel a little embarrassed to do it.

Seeing Wang Zi'an rubbing his fists, his eyes are shining, and he is still full of ideas.How dare the manager of the pharmacy take half a step away?On his sweaty face, he struggled to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"The villain is fine, it's fine, Mr. Wang, take a look, if you need anything, just take it..."

"The Li family in Longxi is indeed a top-notch wealthy family. They are so hospitable! Well, why don't I just take some more? Originally, I was too embarrassed to take it..."

Hearing Wang Zi'an muttering and picking up another treasure, Brother Qiu's heart ached, his eyes were bleeding, and he wished he could shake his hands and give himself a big slap in the face.My mouth is so cheap!
Under his frightened eyes, Wang Zi'an really let himself go, and picked seven or eight more in one breath, and then sat down with a satisfied face under the eyes of Brother Qiu.

"Okay, let's do this for now. Well, I won't go shopping next to each other. You can bring me the list from the warehouse. Let me see if there are any medicines that His Majesty needs..."

Brother Qiu, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, staggered and almost fell to the ground, his face became even uglier.But he has long been manipulated by Wang Zi'an's previous coquettish, which made him feel like he was on a roller coaster. How could he find an excuse to shirk?

What's more, Wang Zi'an stared at him closely, and kept urging him in his ear, which made him upset and even lost his mind.Had to get the list out.The list in the entire warehouse was very long, and Wang Zi'an was not in a hurry, and took his time to look through it slowly. At this time, Brother Qiu was already trembling all over, as if he was sifting through the chaff.

Wang Zi'an couldn't help but smile wryly, sure enough!

This is really a worst result.

Although he didn't follow Li Ke and Li Junxian to search for it, he knew in his heart that this was simply seeking skin from a tiger, and it was basically impossible to find it.The floods in Henan Road and Huainan Road, the burned granaries for disaster relief, the fire in Bowangpo, various rumors in the disaster area, and even the riots that swept through Henan, Shandong, and Huainan all vaguely pointed to these aristocratic families.

Reminiscent of the scene when these aristocratic families were in front of His Majesty Li Er's bedroom when he first returned to Chang'an, and the succession of several families just now, he would be stupid if he didn't understand these people's thoughts.

This group of people is going to turn the sky upside down!

Since it was going to turn the world upside down, how could it be possible to leave behind the medicinal materials he needed?

It's just a few herbs, it's too easy to hide or destroy.The three of us, from the moment the prescription was leaked, were doomed to be in vain.

However, one morning is definitely not enough time for them to make another inventory list, at least not a list that looks like it has some years.If there is still a trace of clues to be found, then they can only count on the list in their hands that has not yet been destroyed in the future.

(I'm too tired today, too sleepy to keep my eyes open. I'll make it up in the first update. I'll make it up in the third update tomorrow.)
