Chapter 89: The woman in white, isn't this the lady of the Ren family?
A strange news has recently been added to Chang'an City...
It is said that at night, a deity rides the colorful rays of light and descends from the sky, landing somewhere in Chang'an. An hour or two later, the deity rides the rays of rays and flies up again.
There are many witnesses!
This god has broad sleeves, is wearing a radiance, and is willing to help others. It is said that no matter what disease you have, as long as you can meet that god, you will be cured immediately if you are illuminated by his brilliance.
In just a few days, there are said to be more than a dozen people who claim to have been cured by the divine light...
Among them were the Imperial Guards from the outer city of Chang'an, the inner guards of Chang'an Palace, and some ragged ladies from Pingkangfang who came out to see the gods at night out of curiosity, as well as kind-hearted people who kindly supported these ladies.
These miraculous rumors made Kong Qing, the instigator, confused.
Has Pindao ever done such a thing?
After these people's personal accounts, the matter of the gods descending to earth became even more sensational in Chang'an City. Countless people began to sleep on the roofs in order to take advantage of the glory of the gods descending...
As a result, Kong Qing now has to be careful when he goes out to cut leeks at night, lest he be discovered by those who take advantage of the divine light.
It was just after noon today. Kong Qing had another meal in the Zhao family's eldest lady's restaurant, and after confirming that a certain gangster named Ma Zhou did not come to eat and drink again, he slowly walked out of the Zhao family's house.
The gate of the restaurant is along the road of West Market towards the southeast corner.
The structure of the West Market is in the shape of a tic-tac, divided into nine areas. The city office is definitely in the middle area, restaurants and the like are in the middle area at the west end, and the area in the southeast corner is some fruit shops.
, where miscellaneous shops such as grocery stores are located.
And the best location in the southeast, closest to the center, is where Molly sells medicine.
Unlike the vendors around him who still need to shout, Molly just sat there quietly, closing his eyes and concentrating. Almost all those buying medicine walked directly in front of him and dropped their money without saying a word.
, then picked up a few small bottles from the bamboo display cabinet in front of Molly and left.
From beginning to end, Molly didn't even raise an eyelid!
"Is this Five Stone Powder so easy to sell?"
Kong Qing looked at Mo Li's medicine stall and smacked his lips in envy. "It would be great if there were technical talents in Qingxu Temple who could make Five Stone Powder..."
To be honest, I am envious. In fact, even if someone in Qingdu Temple really knows how to make this thing, Kong Qing will not sell it.
As a Taoist master and an outsider, Kong Qing felt that if he were reduced to making money by selling aphrodisiacs, it would be a real shame for Taishang Laojun and his family.
That's right, Wushi Powder is actually an aphrodisiac that can produce mild stimulation.
Huang Fumi's "Han Shi San Lun" once mentioned, "He Yan, the minister, was so lustful that he began to take this medicine. His heart became more cheerful and his physical strength became stronger. The capital master was stunned and passed on to teach..."
This means that He Yan, a famous scholar in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, worked too hard at night, and then gradually discovered that he had the kind of disease that the old Chinese medicine doctor on the telephone pole was good at treating, such as being firm but not firm, firm but not long-lasting, etc., so he started taking the medicine
After taking Five Stone Powder, your physical strength becomes stronger and your mind becomes more cheerful.
So He Yan gave Wushi San a five-star rating and strongly recommended it. He said...
"Taking Wushi Powder not only cures diseases, but also makes you feel bright and cheerful."
Then Wu Shi San gradually became popular. By the early Tang Dynasty, taking Wu Shi San had become a trend in the aristocratic society, so much so that the old god Sun Simiao said with disgust.
"Five stones are very poisonous. I would rather eat kudzu than take five stones. If you encounter this, you must burn it. Don't cause harm to your life."
But even so, because Wu Shi San can cure the diseases that the old Chinese medicine doctors are good at, it was still the drug of choice for the drunken princes and grandsons in the early Tang Dynasty.
"Molly..."
Kong Qing came to the front of Mo Li's medicine stall and called out, and then he saw him who was still closing his eyes to recuperate. He opened his eyes instantly and put on a simple smile.
"Young Master, why do you have time to come to the West Market today?"
"I came here specifically to find you..."
Kong Qing also had a standard Xuanmen Taoist smile on his face, and he smiled and nodded at Mo Li.
"There is something I want you and your brothers to pay attention to, Molly."
"What's the matter?"
Mo Li stood up diligently and smiled at Kong Qing.
"Young Master, please give me your orders. As long as I can do it, I will die without mercy!"
"No need to be so exaggerated..."
Kong Qing smiled and waved his hand.
"Pindao wants to find a woman in white. She may be accompanied by a slave in green or a slave in red. She often sells some silks and other things in the West Market or the East Market, but most of his targets are some
A physically fit man."
"This is easy..."
After listening to Kong Qing's words, Molly clapped her hands without hesitation and waved to the side.
Then Kong Qing saw a few people dressed as rangers standing up from the shade of a nearby tree and walking quickly towards the two of them.
"Brother, what do you have to say?"
"This gentleman asked me to investigate something,"
Mo Li extended his hand to introduce Kong Qing, and then continued.
"A woman in white, accompanied by a maid in red or blue, sells silk, satin or other items. The buyers are mostly strong men..."
Before Molly could finish speaking, a skinny ranger had already given the answer.
"Isn't this the lady of the Ren family?"
"Mrs. Ren's wife?"
Kong Qing asked quietly from the side.
"Who is she? Are you familiar with her?"
"If you're familiar with it, you're definitely not familiar with it."
The skinny ranger scratched his hair and said sheepishly.
"I just met her a few times in the East and West markets. Mrs. Ren often sells some silks or old jewelry in the East and West markets, but what she sells is quite expensive and we can't afford it, so..."
You Xiaer showed a "you understand" smile to Kong Qing and Mo Li, and then continued.
"As for maids and the like, Mrs. Ren occasionally sells things with two or three people together, but they really only sell to those strong and burly men, because those men have different ideas, so the bids are also high...
…”
"oh!"
Kong Qing nodded.
Wearing white clothes, selling silk and satin, occasionally two or three people, selling to strong men...
All these conditions seemed to be in place. The only thing that was wrong was that the surname was Ren. Kong Qing used identification skills to get the news from the black slaves that the surname reported by the white stripe when selling silk and satin was also Yuan, and
Not Ren.
But this clue is still worth keeping an eye on. What if the snake changes its last name?
"okay!"
Kong Qing pondered for a moment, and then said to the skinny ranger.
"Has that lady from the Ren family come to West Market today?"
"this……"
The two rangers called by Molly looked at each other, then shook their heads.
"I didn't pay attention to you. Let's do this. Sir, please sit here for a while and I'll go check it out."
Before Kong Qing could speak, Moli on the side had already waved his hand and said to the two rangers.
"You go and check it yourself. I happen to have something else to tell Mr. Lang..."
After the two rangers agreed, they quickly walked along the streets in the west city towards the city office.
After the two rangers left, Molly seemed to have no interest in his own business. He hastily arranged his medicine stall, collected the remaining five stones, and casually threw the empty stall in a grocery store.
Inside the line.
"Xiao Langjun, you asked me to check this last time,"
Mo Li took out a piece of red gold, which was turned into red gold from the piece of red copper that Kong Qing got from Yu Wenli last time.
"Although there is no inscription on this piece of red gold, its purity is too high, so I can barely get some clues!"
"oh?"
After hearing the other party say that he had obtained some clues, Kong Qing's eyes suddenly lit up.
"What clues are there? Let me tell you."
"This gold flowed into the West Market a month ago and was used to buy coffins, some burial figurines, and some funeral objects." The gold flexibly rotated in Molly's big black hands, shining brightly. "Old man
I checked the bills of all the shops in the West City that were responsible for funeral matters, and finally found the person who spent the money. His name is Cheng Bi."
"Have you actually found the person?" Kong Qing was a little excited. "So where does this Cheng Bi live?"
"This hasn't happened yet..."
Molly said a little embarrassed.
"That guy should live near Chang'an. For a while, I haven't found out yet."
"hehe……"
Kong Qing's mouth twitched.
Hezhe, you haven't found anyone at all, so why are you trying to sell Pindao here?
"Don't worry, Mr. Lang..."
After seeing Kong Qing's expression, Mo Li patted his chest vigorously.
"Even if I search all around Chang'an, I will still help you, Mr. Lang, find this Cheng Bi."
"All right!"
Kong Qing showed a polite smile to Molly.
"The poor Taoist will just wait for your good news, Moli..."
Just when Molly was patting her chest again and about to express her determination, she saw that the two rangers who had just left had already walked back quickly.
