Man Bao did not agree to him, but said: "The shopkeeper should know that the imperial medical office can apply for not much money. The more local medical offices are opened, the greater the cost. Even if the imperial court agrees to add more this year, there are still many Some places have not been able to open medical offices, and if the consumption is too high, some places may not have the opportunity to open medical offices.”
"That's why all the medicine qualifications of the Imperial Medical Office are auctioned. There have been three rounds before, and the shopkeeper Zheng Da should be very familiar with it."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da couldn't help but said: "But your Imperial Medical Office has kept the price down too low, and has high requirements on the quality of medicinal materials. We are almost crying out for a loss."
He said: "I heard that the Imperial Medical Administration is going to change the rules."
Man Bao said: "I haven't heard of it."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da stared at her with big eyes.
Man Bao: ... Xiao Mian, and lied to her that the drug dealer came to her after hearing the news. It must be the doctor Zheng who said it. She never mentioned this to Bai Shan.
Shopkeeper Zheng Da: ... The Imperial Medical Office is about to make an appointment, how could I not have heard of it
The two of them were staring at each other. Shopkeeper Zheng's entourage hurriedly followed Xibing and ran in from the outside. As soon as they saw the two people in the main room, they immediately rushed forward, "Treasurer Zheng, there is an urgent message from the pharmacy."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da got up quickly, "Is there an emergency? Isn't Doctor Ding here?" Now Doctor Ding's medical skills are better than shopkeeper Zheng Da.
Man Bao pricked up his ears.
The entourage quietly glanced at Zhou Man, and whispered in his ear: "It's a letter from the eldest son, it's an urgent letter, it seems that something happened in Luozhou."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da subconsciously looked at Zhou Man.
Man Bao looked at him with wide eyes of doubt.
Shopkeeper Zheng Da raised his hand and gave the attendant a look, angrily said: "Then why don't you quickly take out the letter, what is this place? This is the eldest son's teacher!"
The entourage quickly took out the letter and presented it, "The person who delivered the letter went to the pharmacy first, and sent it here because he couldn't find the big shopkeeper. Now he is still outside, just a little embarrassed."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da hurriedly took it apart to take a look. He glanced at ten lines, his face suddenly turned pale, and he almost couldn't stand upright.
Man Bao frowned and got up, took two steps forward, "What's wrong?"
Shopkeeper Zheng Da hurriedly handed the letter to her, and said anxiously: "Master Zhou, quickly find a way to save Zheng Gu, this child is in trouble!"
Man Bao quickly took it and opened the letter to read.
The letter was written by Zheng Gu, it was a bit scribbled, it should have been written in an emergency, but it was not addressed to the shopkeeper Zheng Da, but to Zhou Man, and the address was Master.
It's just that maybe for the convenience of transmission, the name of shopkeeper Zheng Da was written on the envelope, and the servants sent it to shopkeeper Zheng Da.
Shopkeeper Zheng Da fell onto the chair while supporting his entourage. His hands and feet became weak for a moment, and a starry light appeared in front of his eyes. He shook his lips and said, "I, I only have this one son."
Man Bao has experienced even life and death, and she is more stable than the shopkeeper Zheng Da. She glanced at ten lines and saw that Zheng Gu was just imprisoned by the Luoyang County Magistrate. She guessed that his life was not in danger at this time, so she accepted the letter and looked at the attendant. , "Go and call the messenger in."
The entourage glanced at their master before bowing down.
Man Bao also looked at shopkeeper Zheng Da, put down the letter, stepped forward to pick up the man's hand, and pressed hard on a few acupuncture points on his palm. There was a piercing pain, and the blurry world in front of shopkeeper Zheng Da was much better. .
He looked up at Zhou Man.
Man Bao looked at his face and sighed: "Boss shopkeeper, you are still a doctor yourself, so eat less meat and less alcohol in the future."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da:...
He came back to his senses, felt his body slowly, couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Before the main thing happened, I didn't expect my body to be so useless."
The entourage brought in the servant who delivered the letter. He was in a state of distress. He must have not washed for a long time. Even though it was winter, his hair was knotted in strands. Maybe it was because he smelled bad. He didn't dare to enter the room, but knelt outside the main room and replied, "My lord, master."
Man Bao woke him up, let him in at the same time, and asked Xibing to pour him a glass of warm water before asking him to reply, "Your young master was arrested when you came back?"
"Yes, those people rushed into the medical office to arrest them. Their actions were rude, and they knocked over all the medicinal materials drying in the yard. The young master knew that he couldn't escape, so he asked the young lady to stand in front of him, and he wrote a letter in a hurry Hand it over to the younger one, who climbed over the wall and ran to the next door, and when he left the city, the young master and his family were all imprisoned."
After a pause, he knelt down and said to shopkeeper Zheng Da: "The young master asked the young one to tell the master that the young lady is already three months pregnant, it doesn't matter if he can keep it, but he must keep the young lady. "
Shopkeeper Zheng Da's face turned gray, and he turned his head to look at Zhou Man with tears in his eyes. He no longer had the high-spirited spirit of seeking qualifications with Zhou Man just now.
Man Bao stared at the man and asked, "Where is the thing your young master told you to give me?"
The servant immediately reached into his arms, took out an object wrapped in layers of black oil paper, and handed it over with both hands.
Man Bao reached out to take it, opened it, and there were two account books inside.
She flipped through it quickly, and found the purchase and medication on the last few pages, then closed the booklet and asked, "Is there a snowstorm in Luoyang?"
"Yes." The servant wiped his tears and said, "Because of the snowstorm, many people in and out of the city suffered from the cold, so the young master purchased a large number of medicinal materials to keep out the cold."
Man Bao nodded, expressing his understanding, turned his head and said to shopkeeper Zheng Da, "I will enter the palace now, today seems to be the day that Imperial Physician Zheng takes a rest, please go home and let Imperial Physician Zheng enter the palace as soon as possible."
"Okay, okay," the shopkeeper Zheng Da got up quickly, and hurried away with his entourage and servants.
Man Bao put away the letter and account book, and let Xibing prepare the horse, while she went to the main courtyard to change clothes.
Bai Shan was still in the study room waiting for her to come with her to add fragrance to the red sleeves. Hearing something wrong outside, he rushed over with his book in hand. Seeing that she was changing her official uniform, he was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Man Bao looked back at him and said: "Zheng Gu had an accident in Luoyang. He bought a lot of medicinal materials to prevent cold, but some victims had problems after taking the medicine. He said that he checked it carefully, and some medicinal materials were fake. Yes, but he doesn't know if it was the fake medicine mixed in at the beginning of the purchase, or it was replaced later, and now he has been imprisoned."
Man Bao paused and said: "Criminals who use greed to buy fake medicines and harm the common people."
Bai Shan's face changed. This is a serious crime. If it is confirmed, not only the Zheng family, but even the teacher Zhou Man will be implicated.
He hurriedly put down his book and went forward to help her dress, seeing that she was still a little thin, he turned to Xibing and said, "Go and get a fox fur."
Xibing found a white fox fur coat, which matched her red official uniform.
Bai Shan tied it up for her, his heart turned sharply, and he said: "This matter should not be a big deal, but it is not enough for your imperial medical office to come forward. Luozhou is a big state, and Luoyang has a good reputation as the deputy capital. I'm afraid you won't be afraid You are in the Imperial Medical Office, so you have to ask Dali Temple to come forward, and I will go to Jingzhao Mansion for you, Tang Xuexiong is familiar with these things, he may have a way."
