Tang Fan nodded: "Fuyangchun is an aphrodisiac contained in ancient recipes, and it's not unusual in itself. It can be prepared with herbs such as Jiuxiang worm, Curcuma, Rehmannia, Epimedium, etc. Although eating too much may not be beneficial, but Zheng Fu said that Zheng Cheng took this medicine for about three or two months, so he would not die. But if Chaihu was added, it would be different. Chaihu can relieve the body and heat, but It should not be used indiscriminately, and those who lose vitality should avoid it, and long-term use will even damage the liver and kidneys. The addition of Bupleurum to this 'Fuyangchun' has transformed it from an aphrodisiac to a life-threatening drug."
Suizhou: "The people I sent to Weihui Mansion heard news that Lin Chaodong, the clerk from Huichuntang who helped Zheng Cheng to dispense medicines, had not returned to his hometown, and he was nowhere to be found."
Tang Fan smiled bitterly: "Then the clues are broken again."
Sui Zhou was silent for a moment: "Not necessarily, come with me."
He got up and walked out, Tang Fan locked the courtyard door, and followed.
In the clear sky and daylight, the streaks on his neck were too horrifying, and the collar could not hide it, and there was a guard in Jinyi next to him, which attracted passers-by to look back frequently, looking at Tang Fan so strangely that it was like a death row prisoner who was about to go to the execution ground. .
Suizhou first returned to Beizhen Fusi, brought out Zheng Fu who was inside, and took him to Huichun Hall.
Although shopkeeper Liu and the others were released, their words and deeds were still under surveillance. The two Jin Yiwei guards were ordered to guard the door of the Huichun Hall, like door gods, and even the business of these days has been sluggish a lot. The three of shopkeeper Liu are frowning. Sitting inside, seeing Sui Zhou and the two, he quickly stood up.
"Lord Sui, look at our businessman, Lin Chaodong's business, has nothing to do with Huichuntang, can you..." Shopkeeper Liu wanted to complain, but was swept away by Suizhou and swallowed the second half of the sentence. went in.
Suizhou handed the prescription that Tang Fan gave him to Zheng Fu: "Do you recognize the prescription above?"
Zheng Fu glanced at it and nodded again and again: "This is Fu Yangchun's recipe. It was common when I was helping the young master to get medicine... Hey, but there is no Bupleurum on it!"
Suizhou: "When was the last time you came to dispense medicine?"
Zheng Fu: "About three or two months ago?"
Sui Zhou said coldly, "If you want the exact date, think back carefully!"
Human potential is unlimited, and being fooled by Suizhou, Zheng Fu really remembered: "It's March 18, I remember it, it's March 18, because those medicines have to be boiled first every time. It's more troublesome to make a pill, so I went to say hello to Lin Chaodong two days in advance, and then waited until March 20th, and then went directly to get the pill!"
Sui Zhou looked at Shopkeeper Liu: "You heard that, I will find the backup records of the two days from March 18th to March 20th of Huichuntang and submit it."
Shopkeeper Liu: "Yes, yes, let's go!"
He hurriedly called Gao Yazi and the doctor in the hall to close the door of Huichun Hall, and then began to search for records.
Whenever seeing a doctor and getting medicine, human life is at stake, and if one is not good, there will be a situation of eating dead people. It is inevitable that there will be peers fighting, and people behind the scenes. Therefore, in order to avoid disputes, a pharmacy with a little reputation like Huichuntang will have such a record. .
Right now it comes in handy.
With the exact date, the record was quickly found out. Tang Fan and Sui Zhou took it over and took a look. It clearly stated that many medicinal materials were used by the pharmacy in those two days, and it was also clearly written which prescription was used. Clearly.
When they saw the third line, they saw the three words Fuyangchun, followed by a list of medicine names, but there was no Bupleurum.
Looking at the records of the past two days, there was no Chaihu herb.
That is to say, when Lin Chaodong dispensed Zheng Cheng's medicine, the Chaihu used in it must not have been taken from Huichuntang.
In this way, Lin Chaodong is actually a very cautious person. In order to avoid being discovered by Huichuntang, he simply bought Chaihu Laijia outside alone, but now it has become a clue to solve the case.
Suizhou immediately instructed the two Jin Yiweis under him: "Bring someone with you, go to the pharmacy in the city and see which pharmacy bought a lot of Chaihu on March 18th!"
The two took the lead.
Tang Fan said to Suizhou, "Sui Zongqi, can you show me Zheng Cheng's body?"
Suizhou: "Beijing Fusi's work has been checked, and there is nothing unusual about the body."
In fact, when Zheng Cheng first died, Tang Fan had already checked his body, and there was indeed no abnormality at that time, but Tang Fan always felt that it would not be bad to be more cautious. Now that so many days have passed since Zheng Cheng's death, It would be a pity to wait until the corpse was completely decomposed.
So he still insisted: "Please also ask Sui Zongqi to accommodate one or two."
At first, Suizhou didn't look down on the people of Shuntian Prefecture, and he didn't even have a good voice in front of Tang Fan. Now, seeing his voice damaged and feeling uncomfortable, he still insisted on running around with him to investigate the case, but his attitude was slightly softened. .
"There is an ice room under the Fusi Division in Beizhen. Zheng Cheng's body is placed there, and it will be safe for a while." Suizhou Rare explained one more sentence. "Your Majesty asks the Beizhen Fusi to solve the case within one month. After one month, even if the case has not been solved, the body must be returned to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion. You can go to the Beizhen Fusi to find me tomorrow."
The world knows that Jinyiwei was created by Taizu, and its original function was to "steer the guards straight and handle all matters", which means to be the guards in front of the imperial guard, and then be responsible for the security and ceremonial driving of the emperor's visit to the temple, etc., Later, he helped Emperor Taizu to eradicate many heroes and corrupt officials, so in addition to the duties of security guards and guards of honor, he joined the later generations of the National Security Bureau and the Anti-Corruption Bureau. During the Chengzu years, the Jinyiwei was restored, and the prison was famous all over the world. Know.
But in fact, the functions of Jinyiwei are far more than that: Jinyiwei dispatches people to help during the imperial examinations; the township examination hosted by Shuntian Prefecture itself covers the Gyeonggi area. If there is a major fraud case, Jinyiwei will also be invited ; and many other odds and ends, such as repairing streets, catching thieves, and so on.
Many things that should have been handled by the Shuntian Mansion often end up being done by the Jinyiwei. After all, because the Jinyiwei has many elites, the emperor attaches great importance to it, and gets more funds every year. This kind of ordinary administrative department is much higher. For example, the arrest of Bailian's remnants and the ending of the "demon fox case" was originally the work of Shuntian Prefecture. As a result, due to the ineffectiveness of Shuntian Prefecture's yamen, the Jinyi guards had to do it themselves. go out.
Because of this, Jin Yiwei's evaluation of Shuntianfu has never been very good. No matter how famous Tang Fan is, he is just a civil servant who has nothing to do with Jinyiwei. Once he joins the "rice bucket base" Shuntianfu , in the eyes of others, naturally became a member of the "rice bucket".
Therefore, Suizhou's opinion on Tang Fan actually has such reasons, and Tang Fan is well aware of it.
This is a historical legacy, and it is also related to the position of Shuntian Prefecture itself. Shuntian Prefecture is the first to be a local official under the eyes of the emperor. Although the administrative level is half a level higher than other local officials, there are officials everywhere. Anyone can point fingers, and it is quite a shame to be the governor of Shuntian.
Pan Bin and Pan Bin's previous tenures were not strong people. The current Taiping officer did not seek merit, but he wanted no fault. As soon as the case was sensitive, he began to push three and four four, and it is no wonder that Sui Zhou looked down on it. them.
Although Tang Fan understood this, he had just arrived in Shuntian Mansion, and he was only a referral officer. Facing this situation, he had no choice but to do something with his meager strength.
He breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands: "Then I would like to thank President Sui."
The shopkeeper Liu next to him wanted to curry favor with Tang Fan, so he leaned forward and said with a smile: "Master Tang, this is Qiuli ointment and the pharmacy's exclusive formula for promoting blood circulation. The former is taken internally to moisten the throat and clear heat, and the latter is used externally to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. The injury will be fine the next day after taking care of it!"
Because he was interrupted halfway through breakfast, and then followed Suizhou out to ask someone to ask questions. He didn't even have time to apply the medicine, and after talking for a long time, Tang Fan's voice was hoarse. Said, only to realize that the muscles on the neck were sorely stretched that he could not help frowning slightly.
Tang Fan accepted the medicine from Shopkeeper Liu, thanked him, and insisted on giving the money despite his refusal, so he followed Suizhou out of the pharmacy.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and the drizzle was no longer the same as it was a few days earlier.
Sui Zhou glanced at him inadvertently, but when he saw the man beside him in black hair and blue clothes, with fair hair and fair hair, it became even more and more shocking to see the ten-finger pinch marks on his neck.
He took out a small bottle from his sleeve, handed it over, and said lightly, "For external use three times a day."
Tang Fan took it and said with a smile, "The product produced by Beizhen Fusi must be extraordinary, but I have to try it."
Sui Zhou nodded slightly, and without saying much, he pressed the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and walked forward.
Although Bupleurum has strong medicinal properties, it is not uncommon if it is used properly. In the big capital, there are many prescriptions dispensed by pharmacies every day. The effect of harming the body and the human body must be relatively large, which is not comparable to the general prescription of medical treatment, and it is limited to the two days of March 18, and the search scope is immediately narrowed a lot.
The efficiency of Jin Yiwei's work is really unusual. In just half a day, the people sent by Suizhou got news.
Sanyuantang in the north of the city, Renxintang in the east of the city, and these two drugstores, on March 18, people bought a lot of Chaihu. Suizhou sent people to investigate and found that the people who came to buy were the same. One, and according to the description of the other pharmacy, the person who came to buy the medicine was not the mysterious disappearance of Lin Chaodong, the clerk of Huichuntang.
Jin Yiwei is in charge of patrolling and arresting, and he is very familiar with this kind of thing. Suizhou immediately called the painter and asked him to paint the person according to the characteristics described by the two guys.
After a while, an image with high cheekbones and a slightly collapsed nose appeared on the paper.
Very face.
Sui Zhou frowned. In fact, he already had a vague direction in his heart. This case is complicated, but it is not complicated. The sensitivity is sensitive because the person involved is the eldest son of the Marquis of Wu'an, and the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion is not a place where people can come and go at will. .
The population of the capital is over one million, and they come in and out every day. To find such a person is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
At this moment, Tang Fan, who was silent next to him, suddenly said, "I have seen this person!"
Suizhou turned to look at him.
Tang Fan: "I have an impression of this person, but as for where I met him, I can't remember for a while. If I remember, I'll tell you right away."
Suizhou nodded and looked at the sky: "It's getting late, I'll be here today, and Master Tang can come to Beizhen Fusi tomorrow to find me."
Tang Fan got up with a smile: "Alright, I have gained a lot today, and I have to go back and report to Lord Futai, so I will leave."
Suizhou doesn't seem to be very close, but his ability to do things is first-rate, and Tang Fan can get his bottle of donated medicine, which shows that the relationship between the two has improved somewhat. If Shuntian Prefecture can establish a good relationship with Beizhen Fusi relationship, which is of course very helpful to do things in the future.
Suizhou suddenly said: "Master Pan is timid in taking office. If Master Tang wants to do something, it will be a pity in Shuntian Mansion."
Tang Fan smiled and said, "Does Sui Zongqi want to dig Master Pan's corner and invite me to serve at the Beizhen Fusi?"
Suizhou: "If you want, of course you can."
