Yan Yan Yugui

Chapter 209
Lin Yanyan stopped Hui Niang from complaining, and asked, "Do you recognize that young lady?"

Chunlan sobbed and said, "I don't know, it's an unfamiliar face, it should be the first time, and the lady came alone, she ordered a dessert and left."

Lin Yanyan sighed: "It seems that we have been calculated."

"Miss, what do you mean... that person left this veil on purpose?" Hui Niang was astonished.

"Think about it! Since the opening of our Tongyuan building, old customers have always brought new customers. When did you see that young lady who came here for the first time and came alone? And by such a coincidence, there was a piece of acne stained A veil. If there is acne, this person must have blisters on his face, which can be seen through at a glance, so it can be seen that this veil is not hers, she is here to spread the disease on purpose."

"As for the purpose! If I can contract smallpox and die from the disease, it is naturally the best result. The best thing to do is the next best thing. Our Tongyuan Building has discovered smallpox, and we must close down. The reputation is ruined." Lin Yanyan analyzed.

Lin Yanyan didn't think of anyone who could come up with such a vicious strategy to deal with her and Tongyuan Building, except Princess Qingrou.

Hui Niang naturally thought of Yangrongtang, and couldn't help gasping: "They are trying to kill themselves."

Lin Yanyan's eyes were cold: "Get through this first and then worry about it."

She will investigate this matter, no matter who did it, she will not let it go.

Xiao Qian had just finished interrogating Director Tao and the Wang Court Envoy, and there were all the certified evidence, so they could not deny it. After getting the confession, Xiao Qian ordered the criminals to be taken down and locked up for safekeeping.

Lu Zhaonan shook his head with his tut: "They are really good at making money. They get in and out of tens of thousands of taels a year. Director Tao takes the lion's share, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites can also get 3000 taels a year. The worst thing is the envoy of the Royal Court. Take 1000 taels, what do you think he is planning? The Yuqingtang opened by his family is the best medicine hall in the capital, and it is still short of this money?"

Xiao Qian pondered and said: "I think the envoy of the King's Court will help my brother-in-law because of the love of my dead wife."

He didn't know how the king's court envoy was an official and a person, but the king's court envoy's wife died early, so he didn't remarry, and raised his two daughters alone. It can be seen that the king's court envoy had a deep affection for his deceased wife.This is for sure.

But this cannot be the reason for his crime of conniving at his wife and brother's collusion with Mr. Tao, and providing various conveniences.

Think about it, that is the imperial pharmacy, it is to protect the health of the nobles in the palace, even matters related to their lives, there is no room for sloppy.They dared to shoddy and profit from it, and even dared to tamper with the medicine used by their father. Their audacity was simply asking for their own death, and no one could save them.

"When you asked the case just now, why didn't you ask about that matter?" Lu Zhaonan was puzzled.He felt that Lu Yongqing alone would not be able to do that. Lu Yongqing was just tampering with the account books, and what about the decoction and delivery of medicines?He didn't believe that Mr. Wang, who was the envoy of the imperial hospital, didn't know anything about it, and Eunuch Tao was the direct beneficiary of that incident.Otherwise, relying on his qualifications, he would not be able to be the head of the imperial pharmacy in his life.

Xiao Qian said: "Don't worry, I've been waiting for so many years, it's not a few months, it's better to wait for news from your father and king before making any calculations. It's not easy."

"My lord, please see Miss Feng Hua." Guan Sheng said outside the door.

Feng Hua came, Yan Yan must have asked her to come, Xiao Qian hurriedly said: "Please come in."

Feng Hua was anxious, and said as soon as she entered the door: "Your Highness, something is wrong, there is smallpox in the Tongyuan building, and the young lady is trapped inside."

Xiao Qian and Lu Zhaonan jumped up.

"When did it happen?" Xiao Qian asked.

"Are you sure it's smallpox?" Lu Zhaonan asked.

"Just now, I was going to Tongyuan Building with the lady, but I went to Baixianglou to buy roasted squab. I was delayed. When I went there, the restaurant was closed. The lady told me at the door, Someone in the restaurant was infected with smallpox, so I was asked to report it quickly, beg for isolation, and track down close contacts."

Lu Zhaonan stomped anxiously: "It's over, it's over, what should I do, there are so many guests coming in and out of Tongyuan Building every day, if the epidemic spreads, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Xiao Qian didn't think about this at all, his mind was full of Yan Yan being with someone who had smallpox now, Yan Yan was in danger.

"Guan Sheng, immediately take the brothers and follow me to Tongyuan Building."

Xiao Qian led people to the Tongyuan Building, and ordered people to set up a card in front of the gate and hang a red cloth strip at the door as a warning.

People passing by originally thought there was something exciting to watch, but when they saw the red cloth strips hanging up, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

Xiao Qian came to the small door in the backyard by himself, knocked on the door, and someone answered in a short while.

"Which one?"

"Prefect Shuntian, please come over, your lady."

Lin Yanyan heard that Xiao Qian was coming, so she hurried to the small gate.

"Yanyan, is that you?"

"it's me."

"How's the situation inside? Have you come into contact with patients?"

"Contacted."

Xiao Qian's heart sank violently, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. When he thought of Yan Yan being infected with the disease, he wished he could climb over the wall and enter.

Lin Yanyan saw that he didn't speak, only the sound of heavy breathing, he must be very anxious.

"Xiao Qian, you don't have to worry about me. I know medicine, and I know how to take care of myself. The most urgent thing now is to find the guests who have been to Tongyuan Building in the past few days. I have already sorted out the list, and I will throw it out to you now. You Don't just hold it with your hands, you know?"

It took him a while to hear his dull voice: "Okay."

Xiao Qian felt as if he was suffering on a frying pan at the moment, he knew how terrible smallpox was, so let him not worry, how could he not worry?
Lin Yanyan crumpled the paper with a long list of names on it and threw it out.

"Xiao Qian."

"I'm here."

"I would like to ask you one more thing. You can help me catch the medicinal materials needed for Sangju Drink, Cimicifuga Puerariae Soup, and Shashen Maidong Soup. I have more than 20 people who need medicine."

"I'll do it right away."

"Also, you have to pay attention to safety, I'm afraid the epidemic may be out of control." Lin Yanyan warned.

If the epidemic spread due to the negligence of Tongyuan Building, she, the owner of Tongyuan Building, would be a sinner.

This is what worries her the most.

"Yan Yan, you know medical skills, and you know how to prevent it. I just ask you to protect yourself, and it's for me, okay?" Xiao Qian pressed his hand on the door panel and said eagerly.He was afraid that Lin Yanyan would disregard her own safety as soon as she saw a patient, just like the last time she treated a child whose trachea was choked by candied haws on the street, she had the benevolence of a doctor and could easily forget herself.

Don't blame him for being selfish, he can't afford to lose again.

"Xiao Qian, I will be fine."

Lin Yanyan also put her hands on the wooden board. Although they couldn't see or touch each other, at this moment, their hearts were tightly connected.
