Chapter 239 Scarce Medicinal Materials

When the King of Huainan saw Qi Ning pondering, he thought Qi Ning was moved. He was about to say something again, but when he heard footsteps coming from behind, he turned around and saw that Zhongyi Hou and others had followed him from behind.

Hou Zhongyi was over 60 years old. Because he was thin, he looked a little generous when wearing an official robe.

Since ancient times, heroes are like beauty, and they are not allowed to see white hair on earth!

Whether or not Sima Lan of Zhongyi was a hero, she was old and walked slowly. Ximen Shenhou followed Sima Lan and helped him from time to time.

The Minister of War, Lu Xiao, slightly distanced apart and said something with the other two officials while walking, while the Marquis of Wuxiang Su Zhen was far behind, following two eunuchs. He was infected with the epidemic. Although he did not attack, he was scared to death and his whole body was exhausted. He was soft and weak when he walked, his face was pale and despair.

"Prince!" Sima Lan approached and saw the King of Huainan, and had already taken the initiative to salute. "The old minister is old and his physical strength is not as strong as before. When he goes to the palace, he is already lacking in physical strength."

"Marquis Zhongyi should take care of himself." The King of Huainan smiled and said, "You are the minister of the court and the pillar of my Great Chu. Now you still have to assist in the government affairs. You can't do anything in this palace."

Sima Lan laughed old and said, "Eat the king's fortune and loyalty to the king. The old minister has been deeply grateful to the emperor. This old bone can only do his best to reimburse the court, serve the emperor, and devote himself to it until his death!"

The King of Huainan Fuxu said, "The old marquis really seems to be a little tired. There are two old ginseng trees in my palace, which are authentic Liaodong ginseng. I will send someone to send it to the old marquis."

"I thank you, the prince." Sima Lan bowed and smiled, "The old minister has two kilograms of good tea sent from Lingnan in his mansion. If the prince has free time, please ask Qu Lin's humble house to drink a cup?"

The King of Huainan laughed and said, "The old marquis still remembers my preferences. That's fine. If you have time another day, I will be disturbing you now."

These two people seemed familiar and friendly. If they hadn't known that these two were mortal enemies in the court and were incompatible with each other, Qi Ning would have thought that these two guys were friends with deep friendships chatting.

Since Sima Lan came over, the King of Huainan naturally couldn't say more to Qi Ning, but he still smiled and said to Qi Ning with a deliberately smile: "Marquis Jinyi, I will hold a banquet in the mansion, and you will move to the emperor to enjoy the glory. You inherit the title, and I have not congratulated you yet." Without waiting for others to speak, I left first with my hands on my back.

The Minister of War Lu Xiao and the other two walked past Sima Lan, both bowing to Sima Lan, without saying much, and left alone.

When Qi Ning saw Su Zhen’s trance-looking, he knew that the Marquis of Wuxiang was afraid that he would be scared.

At this time, it was already dark and the weather was cold. Everyone did not delay and left. Qi Ning returned to Yong'an Hall and found that Tang Nuo was still not coming out of the hut. He was a little worried.

This girl doesn't eat or drink, but she doesn't know if she can hold on.

Because Xue Ling's style is appropriate, although people with poisonous hair rushed to the streets from time to time in the capital, they were quickly controlled by soldiers from the Tiger God Camp.

At the beginning, the soldiers of the Tiger God Camp were a little confused when they saw the people with poisonous hair looking crazy and terrifying. More than ten of them were scratched by the infected person because of negligence. However, everyone soon became familiar with the routine and knew that although these infected people with poisonous hair were extremely strong, they were not clear-headed and could capture them with a little cleverness.

At the end of the day, hundreds of people were already imprisoned in Nanhe Lane. When the commotion that lasted for a day finally became quieter for the time being.

But everyone knows that when the next wave of poison comes, the situation may be more serious.

However, taking advantage of this short time, Xue Lingfeng sent cavalry to inform all households to pay attention to whether there were any infected people in their homes. Once discovered, it would cause injuries and they must be tied up and handed over to the government immediately.

The capital was in trouble all day long. Although the officers and soldiers were exhausted, the people in the capital were also panic. Fortunately, most people already knew that the capital was in trouble with the epidemic, so they were cautious and cautious. Seeing that their relatives really showed signs of epidemic poison, although they would not really hand over their families to the government, they also took defensive measures.

The capital was already shrouded in the darkness, but the yamen in the Tiger God Camp and the Kyoto Mansion did not dare to be negligent. Even the people from the Shenhou Mansion were also roaming everywhere in the capital, and some people took the opportunity to cause chaos.

Looking down at the capital from the sky, you can see the crisscrossing streets and alleys of the capital. The soldiers from the Tiger God Camp and the Kyoto Prefecture patrolled the capital with torches. The Qinhuai River, which has always been singing and dancing, has now become silent.

Duan Canghai has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights. Although he is from a rank, he is already tired at this moment.

In Yong'an Hall, including Qi Ning, the expression was very solemn.

Not only after a long time, I suddenly heard a sound from Tang Nuo. Although Qi Ning and others heard the sound in a daze, they still quickly got up and walked over.

Seeing that Tang Nuo had already opened a gap in the door, Qi Ning saw that Tang Nuo's beautiful eyes were covered with blood at this moment, and there was also a look of fatigue in his eyes. He knew that this girl was working hard and brain-strapped, and she must have consumed a lot of energy and physical strength.

"Brush!" Tang Nuo said neatly: "I will write down the medicinal materials, and you will prepare it immediately."

Qi Ning was stunned and then said in surprise: "Miss Tang, you mean...!"

"It's still early." Tang Nuo knew Qi Ning's meaning and shook his head, "I roughly figured out which poisons are there, but these poisons are melted together, and the toxicity has changed. You can prepare the medicinal materials I want first, the faster the better."

Duan Canghai was already busy bringing paper and pen. Tang Nuo took it and entered the room. Not long after, Tang Nuo handed over two pieces of paper and said, "Prepare one or two liang of medicinal materials on this." He paused and asked, "Has Mr. Song not come?"

Qi Ning knew that Mr. Song was the doctor in Yong'an Hall, so he didn't rush to answer. He handed the two lists of medicinal materials to Duan Canghai and said, "Prepare quickly. Some of our pharmacies are ready immediately. If you don't have one, you will go to the next door. You will also snatch them."

Duan Canghai knew nothing about medicinal materials. Fortunately, although Yong'antang let most of the men rest, he still left a shop clerk who was familiar with medicinal materials. Duan Canghai called over and asked him to quickly prepare medicine according to the medicinal materials on the list.

The shop's guy is in his thirties and has been in this shop for many years. Although he does not understand medical skills, he still knows the medicinal materials very well. He glanced at it and said, "Mr. Duan Er, most of the forty-three Chinese medicinal materials on this shop are in stock, and every one or two can be prepared immediately, but there are still seven or eight shops in our shop that do not have the stock in our shop."

Duan Canghai was stunned and frowned and said, "Why are we still lacking medicinal materials in such a big shop?"

"Mr. Duan Er, it's not that he lacks medicinal materials." The shop's staff explained: "Most of these seven or eight medicinal materials are not prepared by the medicinal shop. Either they are too expensive and no one can buy them. The other is that they are rarely used and cannot sell a pound a year, so they can't prepare the stock."

However, Qi Ning had already asked Tang Nuo: "Miss Tang wants to find Mr. Song?"

Tang Nuo said: "I want to prescribe medicine. I'm delaying time by myself. I need someone who understands pharmacology to help me. Dr. Song understands pharmacology, and helping him will save a lot of time."

Qi Ning turned his head and asked Duan Canghai, "Duan Canghai, how far is Dr. Song's residence? Come here quickly."

Duan Canghai hurriedly said, "Okay." He sent someone, told him the address, and asked him to pick up Dr. Song quickly.

"Prepare to make a fire and decoct medicine." Tang Nuo said: "At least three medicine stoves should be decocted together." After thinking about it, he said: "The faster the better." Without saying much, he turned around and entered the room again.

Qi Ning naturally did not delay. In addition to Duan Canghai and Zhao Wushang, there were four guards from the Marquis' Mansion in Yong'an Hall. Qi Ning ordered Zhao Wushang to take the two of them to immediately start four medicine stoves and decoct medicine. There were only two medicine stoves in Yong'an Hall, and you need to go to other medicine shops next door to borrow two.

For a moment, everyone in Yong'an Hall was busy.

Duan Canghai was worried that the medicinal materials were not prepared, so he asked the mate: "Then where can I find these medicinal materials?"

The shop clerk thought about it and then took the list to the counter, took a brush and ticked a few medicinal materials. "Mr. Duan Er, although these are expensive, there are no stocks in our shop, but larger pharmacies should be stocked. To the east, there are two large pharmacies, you can go and take a look." Then he frowned and ordered two remaining medicinal materials. "These two may not be stored even in large pharmacies, and the price is not expensive, but they are used very little, and there are not many in stocks in Beijing."

"What should I do?" Qi Ning walked over and frowned and said, "We must not miss the medicinal materials that Miss Tang needs."

"Mr. Marquis, if there are really these two medicinal materials in Beijing, there may be only one place." The shopkeeper thought for a while and then said: "The Tian Family Pharmaceutical Company sells raw medicine. These two medicinal materials may be in stock in the Tian Family Pharmaceutical Company."

"Tian Family Medicine Store?" Qi Ning was stunned, looked at Duan Canghai, and immediately thought of the battle that day.

The Tian family's medicine shop set off the ring, and Qi Ning accidentally beat the ring and was invited to the Tian Mansion, but ended up in disagreement. Mrs. Tian is afraid that she is still holding a grudge. Things are unpredictable, but she didn't expect that she would still ask Mrs. Yu Tian.

"Why do you have to ask the Tian family's medicine shop?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "The capital is so big that other medicine shops can't find these two medicines?"

"Mr. Marquis, these two medicines, one is called Guimecao, and the other is of style and has only grown near the Lanjiang River in Xichuan." The shop assistant explained patiently: "There are more than ten big medicine shops in Beijing, and three from Bashu. However, the Tian family's medicine shop was made early, and neither of the other two were comparable. In addition, the Tian family's ancestral home is said to be on the Lanjiang River in Xichuan, so if you really have these two medicinal materials, only the Tian family medicine shop should be in stock."

Qi Ning felt a little headache, looked at Duan Canghai and said, "Uncle Duan Er, I thought that Mrs. Tian had a good impression of you that day. Why don't you go there? By the way, prepare all the missing medicinal herbs back?"
