Chapter 255: Bencaotang Branch
Xiao Mo listened to Ye Jintang's analysis of the whole incident and secretly sighed in his heart that she had a very accurate grasp of human nature.
If Imperial Noble Consort Dehui had not been so suspicious, she would not have investigated Emperor Jing, and none of the subsequent events would have happened.
"Jintang, aren't you afraid of making a mistake?"
"It doesn't matter. Even if one step is wrong, it won't affect the overall situation. In the end, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui and Ye Yanran will have no time to take care of us."
"As long as we get rid of Consort Dehui's pursuit, it will be much easier to open shops in various cities later."
"That's right. Ever since we entered Quyang City, there have been spies following us. It's really inconvenient to be on guard against them when doing anything."
While the two were talking, Ye Jintang opened the second letter sent by carrier pigeon, which specifically explained the matter of Imperial Physician Yao.
Ye Jintang had long suspected that what happened to the Lin family was related to Imperial Physician Yao. She expected that Imperial Noble Consort Dehui would cause trouble for Imperial Physician Yao because of Madam Yao, so she bribed the jailer early on.
If Imperial Physician Yao was sent to prison, let him find a way to get information from Imperial Physician Yao about the Lin family's past.
Money makes the world go round. Ye Jintang spent thousands of taels of silver to get this letter sent by carrier pigeon.
After reading the letter sent by carrier pigeon, Ye Jintang drove Xiao Mo away and asked Luzhu to call Liuli over.
"My queen is looking for me."
Liuli pushed the door open and entered the room. Ye Jintang asked Luzhu to guard the door as she had something to say to Liuli.
"Today I received a letter via carrier pigeon that Doctor Yao and his family were convicted and imprisoned. My people got some information out of Doctor Yao."
"The poisonous stone powder that Imperial Physician Lin lost was stolen by Imperial Physician Yao, and the mastermind behind it was Imperial Noble Consort Dehui."
As he spoke, Ye Jintang handed the carrier pigeon letter to Liuli to read.
In fact, the two of them had anticipated this result a long time ago, and the person behind the scenes was most likely Imperial Noble Consort Dehui.
But they didn't expect that Doctor Yao was also involved.
"Dr. Yao and my father were fellow apprentices. How could he do such a heartless thing? So many people in my Lin family have been convicted and lost their lives because of this. In his dreams at midnight, isn't he afraid that the wronged spirits of the Lin family will come to seek revenge on him?"
When talking about the past, Liuli's eyes instantly turned red and big tears fell down.
The Lin family had suffered such an unexpected disaster that people wanted to tear Imperial Doctor Yao to pieces with their own hands to vent their hatred.
"Liuli, don't cry. I'll have someone give Doctor Yao the poison you made, so that you can kill your enemy with your own hands."
"As for Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, let her live for a while. Sooner or later, I will help you take her life."
Liuli, who was already crying, nodded vigorously.
She doesn't have any special abilities, but she will repay Ye Jintang's kindness with her life.
The two talked for a while, and Ye Jintang wiped Liuli's tears before letting her leave.
As soon as Liuli left, Gu Waner came to her with the account book.
Because there were spies watching him, Ye Jintang only opened a herbal medicine shop in Quyang City.
The shop is not big and is still named Bencaotang. The medicinal materials sold are similar to those of Bencaotang in Beijing.
However, Ye Jintang also gave Bencaotang a cheap prescription for treating colds.
Sometimes poor people could not even afford a dozen cents. In order to allow them to see a doctor and get medicine, Ye Jintang wrote a new prescription that only cost two cents for a dose of medicine.
"Madam, just now the shopkeeper Qiao came over and asked when you can give him the herbs."
Ye Jintang was a little worried. She had been with Xiao Mo all the way, and she had no chance to take out the medicinal herbs in the space.
I glanced out the window and saw that the sun was already setting and would soon be gone.
"I remember there were two large warehouses for medicinal materials in the backyard of Bencaotang."
"Yes, I told Manager Qiao earlier that when he buys a shop, he must get a larger warehouse. We deal in a lot of medicinal materials, and a warehouse that is too small can't hold them all."
Gu Wan'er had seen the scale of Bencao Tang in the capital, and had talked a lot about it during her interactions with the shopkeeper Qiao, who had kept it in mind.
"Cousin, let me change my clothes. You come with me to the Herbal Hall."
"Ah, so late?"
"Ah."
Ye Jintang also has another identity, Ye Qinglin, which is used to cover up her whereabouts.
When going out, Gu Wan'er deliberately wore a gauze hat. The two of them got on the carriage and looked like a newly married couple.
The Bencaotang branch was purchased just one day ago, so it is currently empty with only a gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper knew Gu Waner, and he readily opened the back door.
According to Ye Jintang's instructions long ago, Gu Wan'er held the gatekeeper and went to the warehouse by herself.
The medicinal materials had already been prepared in the space. Once the door of the warehouse was opened and he waved his hand, the entire warehouse was filled with medicinal materials.
"Okay, let's go."
Ye Jintang came out in just half an incense stick of time after she went in. Gu Wan'er was a little puzzled. What on earth was she doing here?
However, although she was confused, she did not ask.
She had been with Ye Jintang for some time, so she naturally understood her rules.
She said what she could say without being asked, and there was no point in asking what she didn't want to say.
The two got back on the carriage and returned to the inn.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xiao Mo in her room.
"Hey, you're back so soon?"
Xiao Mo was a little surprised to see Ye Jintang come back. She had only been out for two cups of tea, so how could she come back so soon?
"Well, I went to take a look at Bencaotang."
Ye Jintang didn't care about Xiao Mo either. She took off the human skin mask in front of him, then picked up a pen and paper and wrote down the number of medicinal herbs she had placed in the warehouse today.
"Cousin, this is the list of medicinal herbs. Remember to keep a clear account when you do the accounts later. I paid for all these herbs, and there is a clear price for each pound. When the herbal medicine shop starts to make a profit, you must return the money you earned from selling the herbs to me."
"I see."
Gu Wan'er had seen the account book of Bencaotang in the capital, so she naturally knew that this money was Ye Jintang's private money.
But she didn't expect that she would say this in front of Prince Xiao Mo.
"Please tell Manager Qiao that all the herbs in the shop must be strictly in accordance with the prescriptions I wrote. If he makes a mistake, he will no longer be the manager."
"clear."
The medicinal materials produced in Ye Jintang's space are extremely precious. A dose of medicine that costs 2 cents cannot be prepared according to the dosage in the capital. It is a relatively cheap medicine for treating colds, and only one of them comes from the space, and the dosage is extremely small.
The medicinal materials in the warehouse she left behind were enough for Bencaotang to use for more than half a year.
Thinking of this, Ye Jintang thought to herself that she would have to get more cheap medicinal herbs recently. She would have to put more medicinal herbs in the next city.
At least enough medicine should be stored in the store for one year, or even more. After all, medicinal materials will not go bad.
If she goes to Ningchuan Prefecture in the future, they will have to rely on the caravan if they want the medicinal herbs in her space.
