Chapter 134 You deserve to wear the scarlet robe! You are so kind!

 Li Yan looked at Ming Chongyan.

Some historians in later generations speculated that the medicine given to Li Zhi by Chongyan in the Ming Dynasty contained opium.

It is precisely because of this medicine that he can effectively suppress his severe headache and gain Li Zhi's trust.

Of course, since there are no historical records, it is just pure speculation.

Now, the guess has come true.

However, Ming Chongyan was still arrogant: "My master once studied medicine with Sun Zhenren and was taught "Taiqing Zhenren's Mica Refining Prescription". Later, he improved Yun Dan and obtained Wu Yun Dan. This elixir is absolutely miraculous.

What do people know!”

Sun Simiao did have a lot of research on the art of elixirs. He also said that if anyone wants to seek immortality, there are three methods: preserving essence, entraining qi, and taking bait. If you take bait, take elixirs.

However, compared to taking elixirs to maintain health, he prefers taking pills to maintain health. This is the wisdom of the King of Medicine. Even if there are limitations of the times, the boss is still the boss after all.

Li Yan sighed: "Why should Master Ming deceive himself? This is the disadvantage of the raw materials. How can the elixir be produced without any problems?"

Cold sweat broke out on Ming Chongyan's back, but he still shook his head: "There is no proof for this statement. How can I believe it?"

Li Yandao: "There are only two of you here, and you are the Meihua Internal Guard, so I will inform you of the current situation of the case being investigated..."

He recounted Dou Decheng's analysis of selling drugs: "You and I jointly arrested Mr. Dou. Do you think there are any mistakes in my analysis?"

Ming Chongyan also had cold sweat on his forehead, slowly flowing down his temples.

Li Yan stood up and said: "Seeing is believing, Master Ming, come with me!"

He walked out, Ming Chongyan gritted his teeth and followed him.

The two of them left Xuandu Temple and headed to the West Market together.

There was already a curfew at this time, but Li Yan showed the fish talisman, and the patrolling Wuhou got out of the way, allowing him to enter the Western Market unimpeded.

Compared with the constant flow of people during the day, the West Market is also very lively at night. Hu Ji’s exotic customs are very popular in the Tang Dynasty. Many people like to learn Hu language on the couch.

In recent years, many Goryeo queens and Silla maids have poured in, and some moralists still criticize them while continuing to learn Goryeo and Silla languages.

Li Yan rode his horse past the brightly lit restaurants one after another until he reached the largest one.

Even if we don’t mention the professions that test cadres, just look at serious restaurant maids. There are too few Han women in the public eye and they are not competitive.

On the contrary, the Hu maids were warm and generous, and the restaurants opened bigger and bigger, and the quality became higher and higher, becoming a place where dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and wealthy people liked to stay.

This is the restaurant run by Shi, the largest Hu merchant association in the West City.

I gave him a very elegant name, Zui Jinchao.

Li Yan dismounted and walked in with Ming Chongyan.

He was wearing a scarlet robe, and Ming Chongyan's Taoist robe was fluttering. The servants didn't dare to greet such a combination, and the steward immediately came forward.

Li Yan said: "Take us to see An Wuwei, he is with your president."

The steward ushered them into the backyard, and he soon felt relieved after receiving the news: "Rokuro, why are you here in person?"

The status of Han merchants is humble, let alone the Hu merchants, Li Yan is really condescending.

Li Yan said: "I have something important to do here. Where is President Shi?"

There was a figure waiting behind him. When he heard this, he ran over quickly. It was Shi Siwen, the president of the Hu Shang Association. He saluted with great respect: "I have met Li Jiyi!"

Li Yan nodded slightly: "President Shi, this is my friend Taoist Master Ming. He heard that Madam Ling has been taking cloud pills for a long time and is in poor health. The doctor is kind-hearted and came here to diagnose her."

After hating evil as much as hatred, Ming Chongyan became a benevolent doctor again...

At this time, Ming Chongyan was thinking about the lives of his whole family, so he didn't care about it. He saluted with one hand and showed his immortal style.

Not to mention that Chongyan's appearance was excellent, with Li Yan's power, even if he asked for medical treatment from a beggar on the street, Shi Siwen would have to hold his nose and admit it. At this time, he was even more happy when he saw it: "Taoist priest, please come quickly! Please come quickly."

!”

Hu people do not pay much attention to etiquette, and the process is simple. Soon Shi Siwen brought his wife out.

To be precise, it was two Hu maids who helped him out.

It can be seen that Shi Shi was originally an extremely beautiful woman, but now she has become emaciated, her hair is dull, her eye sockets are sunken, and she looks confused.

Li Yan thought of the Qing Dynasty, when men were as skinny as a stick and were reduced to the sick men of East Asia, while women were expressionless and allowed to be manipulated and ravaged, with stern eyes flashing.

Ming Chongyan was also shocked: "How long has she been taking Yundan?"

Shi Siwen said: "It has been three years, first two coins every month, then two coins every half month, and then two coins every ten days. Now if I don't take it one day, I am in excruciating pain."

Ming Chongyan still couldn't believe it, or rather he didn't want to believe it, so he stretched out his hand to feel his pulse.

He was so strong in martial arts, but after checking his pulse, his fingers actually started to tremble slightly.

Shi Siwen looked a little confused. My wife is seriously ill and I am used to it. Why are you so sad?

However, thinking of the doctor's kindness, I was a little moved, and with a look, the servant immediately went to get the gold.

Li Yanze asked: "Where did you buy Yundan? Dou's store?"

Shi Siwen shook his head: "Not in the shop, but in Fangshi in the south. They are doing secret transactions, but they can't hide it from me. They are people from the Dou Chamber of Commerce."

Li Yan thought to himself that this was really being sold as drugs: "How much does a pill cost?"

Shi Siwen said: "Two cloud pills, a hundred gold."

One hundred gold is equivalent to 1.2 million in later generations, and one pill costs 600,000, which is close to grabbing.

Of course, the price paid by the Dou Chamber of Commerce to the Hu merchants was just cutting leeks, and the price would not be the same when sold to the powerful officials in the DPRK.

Li Yan asked again: "Apart from Mrs. Ling, who else does President Shi know about using this elixir?"

Shi Siwen thought for a while and said: "There are many people from Hu merchants in the West City who are using this elixir. If Li Jiyi needs it, I can make a list. I don't know about the merchants in the East City."

While the two of them were talking, Ming Chongyan's Taoist robe was almost soaked.

He had obviously regarded Xuan Gao (poppy) as a kind of medicine before and had not realized its poisonous nature at all, so he was very calm about it.

At this time, the more he looked at it, the paler his complexion became, and he was on the verge of collapse. When his head was lowered, evil thoughts were surging in his heart.

But thinking about the gap in martial arts between them, and the fact that many people knew about this matter, some thoughts immediately disappeared.

Ming Chongyan took back his hand and said tremblingly to Shi Siwen: "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."

Shi Siwen was not disappointed at all: "Taoist priest, thank you for your trouble. It's just a small thing, but it's not respectful. I hope you'll accept it!"

After Ming Chongyan tried his best to politely refuse, he followed Li Yan out in despair.

Just after leaving the West Market, in a deserted corner, Ming Chongyan bowed down and said: "Li Jiyi, save me! Save the thousands of members of my Ming family!!"

The Ming family is also a local wealthy family. According to their family background, they are from a poor family, but they are wealthy.

Otherwise, making elixirs would be a hobby of rich people.

Li Yan helped him up: "If I hadn't missed my friendship with Taoist Ming, I wouldn't have come here to remind him."

Ming Chongyan was obviously panicked: "Thank you Li Jiyi!"

"No need to say thank you!"

Li Yan hated drugs very much. Even if he didn't like Li Zhi, he didn't want Tang Gaozong to die for this reason, let alone the prince.

And according to historical development, the prince died suddenly in a few years, and Li Zhi still had more than ten years to live.

Of these two people, maybe the prince was more affected, after all, his foundation was too weak.

Li Yan calmed down and said: "Poppy is supposed to be medicinal, but it's just that it's too much, and it becomes a poison. If the right amount of ingredients is used, it is completely feasible if it is used solely for analgesia."

Ming Chongyan said miserably: "But Pindao only knows how to refine elixirs, but he doesn't know how to improve them. I don't know whether the amount of medicine is large or small."

Li Yan didn't understand either. He was a student of history, not medicine. He could only ask: "How long have your Majesty and the Crown Prince been taking Wuyun Pill? How often do you take the pill?"

Ming Chongyan said: "Your Majesty has been taking it for three years, two pills a month. Your Highness has been taking it for two years, two pills every half month."

As expected, the prince is more dependent.

Li Yan could only think in a positive direction: "The efficacy of Wuyun Dan is better than that of Yun Dan, and the harm is less. There is still room for salvation. You must improve the elixir, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. This elixir

Where did the recipe come from?”

Ming Chongyan shook his head: "Master never said that."

Li Yan pondered and his eyes lit up: "By the way, since your master has practiced with Zhenren Sun, why don't you ask him for advice? Or ask Dr. Liu?"

Medicine King Sun Simiao was really good at refining elixirs and had superb medical skills. During this period, he lived in Chang'an.

Li Zhi originally wanted Sun Simiao to be an official, but Sun Simiao declined and recommended his apprentice Liu Shenwei to enter the Imperial Hospital.

Three years later in history, Sun Simiao was old and asked to return to his hometown. He retired to Wutai Mountain and worked hard until he died of illness.

Li Yan knew very well that it would be difficult to recruit someone like Sun Simiao who was unwilling to become an official, but his apprentice Liu Shenwei could at least pay him a visit.

However, when Ming Chongyan heard this, he broke into cold sweat again.

He knew he couldn't hide anything at this time, so he whispered: "Master Sun doesn't like the master very much, so he will be driven away."

Li Yan frowned: "I shouldn't have asked about this matter, but now is indeed an emergency, and Taoist Master Ming cannot hide it. What is the reason?"

Ming Chongyan sighed: "What Sun Zhenren meant was that the master was not sincere in studying medicine and only wanted to be an official, so he let him leave. Later, the master taught me martial arts, and it was also my father who agreed with him that he would get a job for him.

Official position."

He really just wanted to be an official. No wonder Sun Simiao didn't like it.

The master of Chongyan in the Ming Dynasty was Lin Jianye, who was a dharma cao in Dantu County.

The officials in the capital looked down on the local county captains because they were officials themselves.

For Bai Shen, who does not have an official position, being a county captain in a relatively affluent place like Runzhou in the south of the Yangtze River is pretty good.

There is nothing wrong with personal choice. Li Yan thought for a while and said: "In that case, this is the only way..."

Ming Chongyan perked up and said, "Please give me some advice from Li Jiyi."

Li Yandao: "The Dou Chamber of Commerce is a drug den in Chang'an, but it does provide many samples. You are proficient in medical science. By understanding the symptoms of people who take pills at different stages, and then comparing them with the pill taking conditions of saints and princes, you can at least have a clear idea.

.”

Ming Chong nodded. He was really afraid that something might happen to the saint and the prince. Hearing this, he said: "That's true."

Li Yandao: "The only plan now is to find out the account books that Dou Decheng concealed and save himself. I have to find another way!"

Ming Chongyan nodded repeatedly and wanted to bow down again: "Liu Lang is so kind to me, please accept me and bow to me!"

Li Yan knew that he had the intention of surrendering, but it was not the right time. He supported him and said: "Remember, we can't just find the problem, but we must find the solution to the problem. Only then can we pay tribute to the saints. Master Ming, let's work together."

Bar!"

Watching Li Yan ride away, Ming Chongyan bowed his head sincerely.

You deserve to wear the scarlet robe!

Such nice people!
