Chapter 155 Turning a deaf ear
"so serious?"
Wu Weiwei was surprised.
Chen Caiyun nodded at her.
As is customary.
For each prescription they prepared, they had to conduct at least five trials.
Only after ensuring safety can it be mass-produced and put on the market.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about injuring or killing anyone.
But who knows if they'll actually use the stolen prescription to experiment with it?
"Will the person who stole the prescription be able to discover this problem?"
Wu Weiwei looked at Chen Caiyun.
Sister Chen frowned.
"If they strictly follow our production steps, there should be no problem."
But if they rush into production and don't experiment repeatedly like I have, then it's possible..."
Upon hearing this, Wu Weiwei smiled.
Her smile was so captivating that her eyes seemed to drip with charm, as if her allure was etched into her very bones.
Everyone knew what Wu Weiwei was laughing at.
After calming down, Wu Weiwei looked at Granny Mei and the others.
"By the way, I have something to tell you."
The mole who stole the prescription has been identified.
It must have been the third concubine who did it!
Wu Weiwei said coldly.
Upon hearing that it was actually the Rong family, Granny Mei was incredulous.
This Rong family originally thought that she wouldn't be able to cause any trouble while she was confined to Yan Gui Lou.
Unexpectedly, her methods were endless, almost like an internal power struggle within the royal family.
Upon hearing this, Sister Chen looked at Wu Weiwei with a hesitant expression.
"Sister Chen, you might as well speak your mind."
"Auntie, now that you say that..."
I suddenly remembered that when I walked out of the courtyard that day, I saw Old Deng, who was lame in the stable, coming from the direction where Third Aunt lived…”
"Old Deng?"
Who is this person?
Wu Weiwei was puzzled.
“Aunt, you haven’t been in the household for long, so you don’t know this Crippled Deng.”
Granny Mei came out to explain.
"This lame Deng is an old man from the Marquis's mansion."
He was originally a gatekeeper.
Because of the incident where the young lady had faked her death and escaped, the prince either demoted or sold off all those responsible for guarding the gates…
To be honest, Old Deng was really unlucky.
He had only been promoted to doorman for a few days when he encountered the bishop's faked death.
In the end, he was beaten thirty times with a cane by the prince.
His leg was broken on his way home after being beaten with a cane that day.
Aunt Ping, understanding his family's needs, pleaded with the young master on his behalf.
They put him in the stable as a horse feeder, and that's how he stayed.
Hearing what Granny Mei said, Wu Weiwei felt as if the fog that had been obscuring her mind was beginning to clear.
Madam Rong, Aunt Ping, Deng the horse feeder, and Cousin.
What is the relationship between these four people?
These people all seem to revolve around her alone?
The Rong family sent people to steal the prescription, but she was confined to Yan Gui Lou and was not allowed to leave on ordinary days.
Since they couldn't get out, they naturally had to find help.
Is it possible that Aunt Ping was her accomplice?
After all, the two had a good relationship before Rong was confined to his home.
This lame man, Deng, has a grudge against the female lead.
The grudge of being implicated and framed, resulting in the loss of a leg.
Aunt Ping was Ma the Lame's benefactor.
Thus, the truth seemed to have been revealed to her.
This lame horse is a key figure.
This is related to his previous fall from his horse and the theft of his prescription.
After waving away Granny Mei and her entourage.
Wu Weiwei summoned Wanqiu.
"Wanqiu, go to the Fengyun Escort Agency in Wutong Lane and ask your brother to come over..."
Seeing Wu Weiwei's solemn expression, Wanqiu didn't dare to delay and hurriedly walked outside.
Jiangnan.
Rong Family Conference Hall.
A portly man sat in a high position.
All the people who came here were important figures from the direct line of the Rong family.
Everyone looked at the three round pills, which smelled of medicine, placed in a sandalwood box.
Their eyes lit up as they stared.
"Dear uncles and elders, Rong Sheng has lived up to your expectations."
The Baoji Ginseng Pills from the prescription have been made.
I also secretly invited several skilled doctors from Jiangnan to test the effects.
They all applauded the effectiveness of Baoji Ginseng Pills.
Surprisingly, the efficacy of this Baoji Ginseng Pill is three times that of ordinary pills on the market, making it a veritable miracle drug…
"Nephew, is this pill the reason you've been recruiting so many people these past few days?"
"I was wondering why my nephew Rong suddenly increased the procurement budget."
So they were secretly producing these Po Chai Ginseng Pills...
"Since the results are so good, let's speed up production immediately."
Our Rong family is absolutely determined to be the first to try this new approach…
According to market prices, a single Baoji Pill with ordinary medicinal effects costs ten taels of silver.
Then each of their Rong family's premium version of Baoji Ginseng Pills must cost no less than one hundred taels of silver.
Thinking about the huge profits involved, everyone's faces were all wrinkled with laughter.
Rong Sheng gestured for them to stop their discussion.
"I'm sure my uncles and elders all know this."
This Baoji Ginseng Pill is something I painstakingly developed and spent a fortune on.
Your eagerness to make money is something your nephew is well aware of.
"Of course, our Rong family will reap this huge profit..."
Even Ma Hongmao, upon learning of this news...
I also pre-ordered the first batch of Po Chai Ginseng Pills from him.
Not to mention the large number of pharmaceutical companies queuing up behind them.
He believed.
Thanks to the immense benefits that the Baoji Ginseng Pill brought to the Rong family, no one in the clan dared to question his leadership abilities anymore.
Rong Sheng firmly believed in his heart that the position of clan leader was rightfully his.
Speaking of the great contributor this time, Rong Sheng really has to thank his younger sister Rong Xue, who was imprisoned in the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion.
If it weren't for her, he probably wouldn't have been able to gain the approval of his uncles.
Thinking of the message she had sent through someone.
Rong Sheng was still hesitant at first, but he decided to wait until after this incident.
He will personally visit the Marquis's residence to handle the matter for her.
Rong Sheng looked at the group of people in charge of the Rong family and said:
"I believe my uncles and elders have also figured it out."
His Majesty is growing increasingly dissatisfied with our Rong family's monopolization of the imperial merchant position.
In view of this.
I have decided to present these Baoji Ginseng Pills as this year's tribute to His Majesty, hoping to gain His Majesty's favor!
……
After everyone had left.
Rong Cheng, Rong Sheng's head butler, stepped forward.
"Master, we have just received news that the young master Lu arrived in Jiangnan last night."
"Do you think we should throw him a grand welcome banquet?"
"Lu Hanting has arrived in Jiangnan?"
The head butler nodded.
"What brings you here?"
"This old servant guesses it's about the salt tax..."
Rong Sheng frowned.
If they've come for this reason, then they should be careful.
After a moment's thought, he said to the butler, "A welcoming banquet is definitely in order."
In that case, you can send invitations to all the wealthy merchants and gentry in Jiangnan tomorrow.
A banquet can't be complete without beautiful women.
"You should hold the banquet at Cuihu Flower Garden and have Yao Yao accompany you."
"Master, Yao Yao, she..."
Wasn't that the one the master had carefully cultivated and was preparing to send to the palace to present to the emperor?
Why now...?
But then he saw Rong Sheng looking at him and saying, "Rong Cheng, things are different now."
The emperor now has a backup plan.
But Lu Hanting is here.
But he needs someone to whisper in the prince's ear for him...
