The name Huichuntang sounds like a pharmacy. Nine out of ten pharmacies in the capital are not called Huichuntang, but Renxintang. There are so many similarities that people think they are all opened by the same owner.
Huichuntang, located on Tangxibai Street, is a time-honored brand. Among the dozen or so "Huichuntangs" in the capital, this one has the most reputation. However, there was no intellectual property rights in those days, so after this Huichuntang became famous, other Drugstores followed suit and named it Huichuntang, and this Huichuntang in Tangxibai Street was helpless.
The business of Huichuntang is good. People come and go, and they all prescribe medicines. The medicinal materials here are not only well-known, but also famous for the doctors in the hall.
However, it was raining today, so there were a lot fewer patients, and not many people even brought medicines. The little guy, Gao Yazi, was a little bored after a while, when he saw someone outside put an umbrella at the door and patted the rain on his clothes. Then walk in.
Although he was carrying the light on his back, he could vaguely see the color of crow green on his temples that had been soaked in rain, and the hem of his jade-colored straight robes was fluttering, handsome and elegant.
Gao Yazi had been an apprentice in this pharmacy for three years. He had met countless people, but he had never seen such a good-looking person. Only then did he wake up at the counter, his face flushed, and he said, "What is the order from the guest?"
The other person was born beautiful, and even smiled, but also smiled in a gentle manner. Although Gao Yazi was literate, he had not read many classics, and could not think of any good adjectives. He just felt that this person was like the light rain outside, cool and refreshing. , swept away the sultry heat of early summer, making it very comfortable.
The other party said: "I'm looking for shopkeeper Liu, I don't know if he's there?"
Gao Yazi: "It's not a coincidence that you came here, shopkeeper Liu just went out."
At this time, the person standing in the Huichun Hall and talking to Gao Yazi was naturally Tang Fan. When he heard Shopkeeper Liu going out, his brows narrowed slightly, and then he asked again, "Did Shopkeeper Liu leave a message before going out, when will you come back? "
The young man thought back and said, "Before the shopkeeper went out, he said that he would only come back at noon, your name is your name, and if there is something you have to do, if it doesn't matter, why don't you tell me, and I'll tell you later, so that you don't run away again. One trip!"
He has a good tongue, but he is a talented person who comes forward to socialize. It is no wonder that he is alone in Huichuntang at a young age.
Tang Fan smiled: "My surname is Tang, and I have nothing to do. I'll just wait here for Shopkeeper Liu. Is it convenient or not?"
Good-looking people always take advantage. If a person with a crooked nose and raised eyes comes, Gao Yazi might not be so enthusiastic, but as soon as Tang Fan said it, he hurriedly said, "Of course it's convenient, Mr. Tang, sit down!"
Then he personally poured the tea and brought it over, which is extremely dog-legged.
The tea wasn't very good, but Tang Fan still received the enthusiasm, nodded and smiled at him, Gao Yazi suddenly felt like a fairy.
It's still early, and the shopkeeper Liu won't be back so soon. Tang Fan simply sits aside, drinking tea while watching the sitting doctor treat the patient, which is not boring.
About half an hour later, three more people came in from outside, wearing hemp-colored clouds, sleeves, sleeves and knees, and an embroidered spring knife around their waists, majestic and sturdy. Especially the person in the lead, his expression was deep and stern, his eyes were sharp like a sword, and he only swept around a little, and others subconsciously looked away, daring to look at him.
As soon as the people in the drugstore saw these familiar clothes, they all showed expressions of amazement, fear, awe, and immediately moved closer to the side to make way for them.
In the Ming Dynasty, only Jinyiwei and Dongchang could get such treatment.
Of course, now there is another West Factory.
The three Jinyiwei stopped at the pharmacy and instantly became the focus of attention.
There was silence all around, and everyone looked at them, not even daring to whisper.
The prestige of Jinyiwei, which has gone through eight dynasties since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, has already spread all over the world, and it can stop children from crying at night.
Back then, when the Ming Dynasty was first established, Emperor Taizu was addicted to killing people. He felt that those people in the Ministry of Punishment were ineffective, and they had to be arrested first and then tried, which was a waste of countless time. He regarded Jinyiwei as a knife in his own hands to cut off corrupt officials and dissidents. Later, he might think that there were too many killings and he could stop, so he canceled Jinyiwei. Unexpectedly, as soon as his son Emperor Yongle came to power, he was restored and returned to the throne. Buy one, get one free, with an invention created by the side.
Jinyiwei and Dongchang have their own responsibilities and overlap with each other. The business competition is very fierce, and the contradictions have already existed.
To the emperor, Dongchang was the head of the eunuchs. Those eunuchs had grown up with him in the palace since childhood, so they were naturally closer than Jinyiwei, but in some things, Dongchang could not replace Jinyiwei.
After all, Jin Yiwei is also a man with a handle, but Dongchang is in charge of eunuchs, and civil officials are naturally hostile and vigilant towards eunuchs.
However, no matter how the internal struggles are fought, outside, when the Jinyiwei comes out, from the dignitaries to the common people, they all become frightened and respectful.
That's why Tang Fan gave Pan Bin that idea.
Jinyiwei and Dongchang disliked each other, and Dongchang hated that Xichang was born out of nowhere, which has detracted from their own limelight and power. The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple did not like the secret services of Jinyiwei Dongchang Factory, but they were quite jealous. They didn't dare to offend them. Under the restraint of several parties, Shuntian Mansion was the least noticeable.
Gao Yazi hurried up to meet him, forced a smile, trembling: "Several adults, come to the store, what are your orders?"
The leader did not speak, and the Jin Yiwei behind him said, "Where is the shopkeeper of the pharmacy?"
Another one who came to see Shopkeeper Liu
Gao Yazi was surprised and hurriedly said: "I want to teach you a few to know that the shopkeeper Liu left early today, and I'm afraid he won't be back until noon!"
The man asked again, "Where did he go?"
Gao Yazi: "At that time, the relatives of the shopkeeper Liu's family came to him. It seemed that someone in the family was sick, so the shopkeeper Liu left in a hurry. As for where his relatives lived, the young man did not know."
Facing Tang Fan, he also enthusiastically kept the other party to sit for a while, but facing these fierce gods, Gao Yazi wished they would leave sooner.
Who knew that the headed Jin Yiwei said coldly, "Then wait here."
Gao Yazi secretly complained, but did not dare to say anything, and hurriedly invited them to be seated, while rushing to make tea.
Coincidentally, he and the doctor sitting in the hall were the only two in the pharmacy today, one to see a doctor and the other to prescribe medicine.
Gao Yazi brought hot tea and smiled attentively: "Several adults, this is the best cloud tea, please take it slow."
The three of them never spoke harshly, but for some reason, seeing that they were talking with a straight face, and their whole body exuded an aura that no strangers would enter, Gao Yazi felt his calf twitching and almost fell to the ground.
It took him a long time to overcome his psychological obstacles, and he dared to ask: "Little talkative, I would like to ask if the shopkeeper Liu has committed anything. If it is a serious crime, the little one can ask the boss to come over..."
The headed Jinyiwei glanced at him, and Gao Yazi couldn't say the second half of his words.
"No need." After a while, the other party said, this man is like an ice sculpture, and his words are cold. .
Seeing that the three Jinyiwei didn't seem to be embarrassed, the doctors and patients in the hall were trembling and went back to their respective positions.
Gao Yazi was tapped twice on the shoulder. He turned his head and saw Mr. Tang, who had just been sitting on the side, smiled comfortingly at him, and then said to the three guards in Jinyi, "Everyone is for the case of the Marquis of Wu'an. come?"
Jin Yiwei, who was headed by him, narrowed his eyes, looked at him for a moment, and asked, "Who are you?"
Tang Fan handed over: "Tang Fan, Tang Runqing, Shuntian Prefecture pushes officials."
The other party seemed to know him: "Are you really Tang Fan?"
Tang Fan laughed: "Tang Runqing is not a high-ranking official, so he doesn't have the value of being impersonated?"
The other party then bowed his hands: "Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi General Banner, Suizhou."
Tang Fan is a sixth-rank official, and the other party is a seventh-rank official. Speaking of which, the official position is lower than that of Tang Fan, but the position of Jinyiwei itself cannot be rationalized, so even if the other party just handed over and did not get up, Tang Fan did not say anything. What, still maintain a rather graceful smile.
Tang Fan: "Sui Zongqi asked the shopkeeper Liu for the case of the Marquis of Wu'an?"
Suizhou didn't answer and asked, "What did Master Tang find?"
Tang Fan: "My findings should be similar to Sui Zongqi. If Sui Zongqi is interested, it is better to let Shuntian Prefecture and Beizhen Fusi work together, or find out the real culprit as soon as possible and give His Majesty an explanation."
He saw that President Sui's words were as precious as gold, thinking that he didn't like to talk nonsense, and he didn't like other people's nonsense, so he didn't say much greetings and simply cut to the chase.
Suizhou looked at him for a while, and said blankly, "I heard that on the day Zheng Cheng died, he met Master Tang on the street, and at that time, he made a rude remark to you. I wonder if this is the case?"
Tang Fan was slightly startled, and nodded, "It's true."
Suizhou: "Since this is the case, then Master Tang also has a motive to kill. If you are free, you might as well follow me to the Beizhen Fusi first, and then discuss cooperation matters."
Tang Fan: "..."
