The materials for making Yufu paste come from the south, and the main sales are to the south. Obviously, the south is the key.
But no matter what, this matter supposedly has nothing to do with Qi Baoer, but Ji Shunyu came to the door.
Ji Shunyu deserves to be known as the man of Qingtian. Shopkeeper Yang and the others have been in the south for two or three years but they still haven't touched each other's core. Ji Shunyu lives in Yong'an, which is a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from the south.
The people from the Chengdang Magistrate have found out the approximate location of the source of Yufu Cream in the south, and his people have also penetrated into the opponent's interior and reported back a lot of very valuable information.
One of them is that the other side not only has gods and men in charge, but also many mysterious masters who are working against him.
This is it...
Ji Shunyu will solve the case again, but after all, he is just an ordinary person. The government servants and bodyguards around him are all ordinary people. When he encounters this kind of group that is both a god and a mysterious master, he is also overwhelmed.
When I was at a loss, my subordinate came to report that Prince Xian had returned to his hometown to be with relatives!
To Ji Shunyu, this was equivalent to God helping him, and he immediately rode his horse straight to Qijia Village without even sitting in a sedan chair.
What's a bit funny is that Ji Shunyu is really good at handling cases and has impeccable integrity as a person, but when it comes to human affairs, he can only be described as a dish;
The one who asked for an audience was the current Prince Yipin Xian, so people and horses came to the door empty-handed. As soon as they met, they knelt down and begged Prince Xian to take action.
In the official field, especially people like Qi Bao'er and Ji Shunyu who have never met each other before, and one of them is of unknown rank higher than themselves, if they ask to meet, they will inevitably try to trick them first.
Close the relationship and wait for the high-quality person to show kindness, and then the low-quality person will adapt and learn to speak out his demands in a subtle way so that others will not be wronged.
This seems to be a normal official/official routine.
For someone like Ji Shunyu, if he had to switch to a more cautious Shangfeng, it would be easy to throw him out every minute. It would probably be a waste to put small shoes on him.
It's no wonder that this girl had such a miserable life before being taken seriously by Jun Chenyuan. She was promoted to magistrate and magistrate several times, and once she even got implicated and was exiled.
Having said that, Qi Baoer really admired Ji Shunyu, an official who did not fix things and only did practical things, so he not only kept Ji Shunyu at home for a light meal, but also listened to the story of the Yufu Ointment case he was investigating.
After making some progress, I decided to go south with him and annihilate the group one by one.
Mainly, if the government doesn't care about this matter, she will eventually do it herself.
Jade paste, opium, in her previous life, at the end of the last dynasty in the world, the invaders first used opium to corrode the fighting spirit of the people. There were addicts everywhere. When several companies invaded, the people of the country had nothing to do with it.
The power of resistance.
The Qilin Kingdom should not reach that point. After all, the national conditions are different. One is a court that has declined, while the other is still at its peak.
But the harm of opium will not disappear just because your country is still strong. Once this stuff becomes popular and there are too many addicts, the country will be in chaos.
If the country is in chaos, only the people of the world will suffer.
As a practitioner, Qi Bao'er could not ignore the possibility of such a catastrophic disaster.
At this moment, a burst of music suddenly sounded from the front.
Not to mention, he plays the piano quite well. Qi Bao'er knows a little about the music, and from the sound of the piano, you can roughly tell that the person playing the piano has at least a long history of skill.
Butler Yang looked startled, why is he here?
"Who?" Ji Shunyu asked.
It turned out that Butler Yang had expressed his doubts unconsciously.
"It's Mr. Ruoran."
——Master Ruoran was not born into a noble family. He himself admitted that he was lonely and was raised by monks in the temple.
The reason why a person with such a background is called a young master even by shopkeeper Yang is because of his musical attainments.
In fact, Confucianism in the Central Plains has not changed much. Scholars have never put women and villains together in "Only Women and Villains Are Hard to Raise"; the reason why women's status is now so lower than that of men is mysterious.
It happened to a woman, don't you think it's funny?
This is a foreign language, so let’s not mention it for now.
Confucianism talks about the six arts of a gentleman, and music is among them;
Therefore, music in Qilin Country will not be discriminated against, and people will think it is not popular. Instead, it represents elegance and is admired by others.
Anyone who is well-known in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, etc. will be respected as a son, regardless of gender.
Mr. Ruoran is not only famous in Sishui City, but also throughout Jiangzhou for his outstanding piano skills. There are even students in Beijing who admire him.
However, Qi Bao'er and Ji Shunyu, one is placed in a position where people around her don't dare to talk in front of her. Qi Bao'er has never expressed interest in this kind of melon; the other is dedicated to the case.
He never cared about anything other than the case.
So these two have absolutely no idea what is wrong with Mr. Ruoran.
But when shopkeeper Yang explained it like this, the two of them understood why he was confused.
No matter which one of the fields of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, anyone who can get the reputation of a master is already an expert in the industry.
This type of people are highly regarded by the powerful and powerful, because they have many admirers, and most of them are students who are good at verbal criticism;
The powerful and powerful want to be famous. They are most afraid of being scorned by the world, and they are even more afraid of being left with a bad name in the future.
Therefore, the status of these 'experts' is naturally relatively high. If you want to listen to the music of the experts, buy the paintings of the experts, have a chat with the experts, etc., you basically have to use the word 'please'.
'Character.
But somewhere in front of me is the flower boat of Jichun Tower.
The powerful want reputation, and even more so do experts like this, so why would they come here?
At this time, a man's dissatisfied voice with deep jealousy came from not far away, "Master Ruoran actually came to play the piano for Lady Liu."
When Qi Bao'er and others heard this, they all looked in that direction. They were several young men dressed in either rich or expensive clothes.
They were located next to a tea stall by the lake. Not far away was a pavilion, and the men were sitting around the pavilion drinking tea.
The person who spoke was facing them. Although the lanterns around the pavilion were dim, it did not affect everyone's ability to see his appearance clearly. Although he was not handsome, he had an upright appearance, but his face was a little tinged at the moment.
The distorted look on his face lowered his appearance even further.
Another person sitting opposite the man said: "Hey~, Brother Ziyin, those are just rumors from the outside world. How can we, the scholars, just believe his words without verification?"
This man seemed to have a higher status among several people. As soon as he said these words, not only did the man opposite him stop showing his displeasure, but the others also nodded repeatedly as if they agreed with his words.
Shopkeeper Yang introduced in a low voice, "The one with the ugly face is the youngest son of Fang Yuan's wife, and the one with his back to us speaking is the eldest son of the magistrate's house. He is already a noble man."
No wonder.
Shopkeeper Yang's eyes flashed slightly, and he muttered intentionally or unintentionally: "I told you not to let him come."
Um??
Qi Baoer and Ji Shunyu looked at each other, but both of them looked confused but did not make a sound.
