Man Bao did not agree to him, but said: "The big shopkeeper should know that the money that the Imperial Medical Office can apply for is not much. The more the local medical office prescribes, the greater the cost. Even if the court agrees to add more establishments this year, there will still be a lot."
Local areas have not been able to open medical offices. If the consumption is too huge, some places may not have the opportunity to open medical offices."
"So all the medicine qualifications of the Imperial Medical Office are auctioned. There have been three rounds before, so shopkeeper Zheng Da should be very familiar with it."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da couldn't help but said: "But your Imperial Medical Office has kept the price too low and has high quality requirements for medicinal materials. We are almost losing money and complaining."
He said: "I heard that the Imperial Medical Office is going to change the rules."
Man Bao said: "I haven't heard of it."
Shopkeeper Zheng stared at her with big eyes.
Man Bao: ...Young brat, you even lied to her that the drug dealer came to her after hearing the news. It must have been Dr. Zheng who told her, but she never mentioned this to Bai Shan.
Shopkeeper Zheng Da: ...The Imperial Medical Office is about to be finalized, how could you not have heard about it?
The two of them were staring at each other. Shopkeeper Zheng's entourage hurriedly followed the cakes and ran in from the outside. As soon as they saw the two people in the main room, they immediately rushed forward and said, "Shopkeeper, there is an urgent message from the medicine shop."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da stood up quickly, "Is there an emergency? Isn't Doctor Ding here?" Now Doctor Ding's medical skills are better than Shopkeeper Zheng Da.
Manbao pricked up his ears.
The entourage glanced at Zhou Man quietly, then went over and whispered: "It's the eldest son. It's an urgent letter. It seems something happened in Luozhou."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da looked at Zhou Man subconsciously.
Man Bao looked at him with big doubtful eyes.
Shopkeeper Zheng raised his hand and gave it to the attendant, and said angrily: "Why don't you take out the letter quickly? Where do you think this is? This is the eldest son's teacher!"
The attendant quickly took out the letter and presented it to him, "The person who sent the letter first went to the drug store and couldn't find the big shopkeeper so he sent it here. Now he is still outside, but he is a little embarrassed."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da quickly opened it and took a look. He glanced at it, his face suddenly turned pale, and he could hardly stand still.
Man Bao frowned and stood up, taking two steps forward, "What's wrong?"
Shopkeeper Zheng Da quickly handed the letter to her and said anxiously: "Master Zhou, quickly find a way to save Zheng Gu, this child is in trouble!"
Man Bao quickly took it and opened the letter to read.
The letter was written by Zheng Gu, and it was a bit sloppy. It should have been written in a state of emergency, but it was not written to shopkeeper Zheng Da, but to Zhou Man. He looked up to see Master.
However, perhaps for the convenience of transmission, the name of Shopkeeper Zheng was written on the envelope, and the servant was asked to deliver it to Shopkeeper Zheng.
Shopkeeper Zheng Da supported his entourage and fell down on the chair. His hands and feet became weak for a moment, and stars appeared in front of his eyes. He trembled his lips and said, "I, I only have this one son."
Man Bao had experienced life and death and was more stable than Shopkeeper Zheng. She scanned the lines and saw that Zheng Gu was just imprisoned by the Luoyang County magistrate. She guessed that his life was not in danger at this time, so she received the letter and looked at the follower.
, "Go and call the messenger in."
The attendant glanced at their master before bowing down.
Man Bao also looked at Shopkeeper Zheng Da, put down the letter, stepped forward, picked up the person's hand, and pressed hard on several acupuncture points on his palm. He felt a heartbreaking pain, and the dizzy world in front of Shopkeeper Zheng Da was now much better.
.
He looked up at Zhou Man.
Man Bao looked at his face and sighed: "Big shopkeeper, you are still a doctor yourself. Eat less meat and drink less alcohol from now on."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da:......
He came back to his senses, slowly felt his body, and smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that my body would be so useless before the main thing happened."
The attendants brought in the servant who delivered the message. He looked very embarrassed. He must have not washed himself for a long time. Even though it was winter, his hair was knotted one by one. Maybe he smelled something.
He did not dare to enter the room, but knelt down outside the main room and replied, "Greetings, sir."
Man Bao let him get up, let him in at the same time, and asked Xi Bing to pour him a glass of warm water, and then asked him to reply, "Your young master has been arrested when you come back?"
"Yes, those people rushed into the medical office to arrest someone. They acted rudely and knocked over all the medicinal herbs drying in the yard. The young master knew that he could not escape, so he asked the young lady to stand in front of him. He hurriedly wrote a letter
Give it to the younger one, who climbed over the wall to the next door before escaping. When he left the city, the young master and his family were all imprisoned."
After a pause, he knelt down and said to shopkeeper Zheng Da: "The young master asked me to tell the master that the young lady is already three months pregnant. It doesn't matter whether he can keep her, but he must keep the young lady.
"
Shopkeeper Zheng's face turned gloomy, and he turned to look at Zhou Man with tears in his eyes. He no longer had the high-spiritedness he had just asked Zhou Man for qualifications.
Man Bao stared at the man and asked, "Where is the thing your young master asked you to give to me?"
The servant immediately reached into his arms and took out something wrapped in layers of black oil paper and handed it over with both hands.
Man Bao reached out and took it, opened it, and found two account books inside.
She quickly flipped through the pages and reached the last few pages about purchasing and medication. Then she closed the book and asked, "Is there a snowstorm in Luoyang?"
"Yes." The servant wiped away his tears and said, "It is because of the snowstorm that many people in and around the city are suffering from cold, so the young master purchased a large amount of medicinal materials to keep out the cold."
Man Bao nodded, indicating that he understood, and turned to the shopkeeper Zheng Da and said: "I will enter the palace now. Today seems to be the day when Imperial Doctor Zheng takes a day off. You can go home and let Imperial Doctor Zheng enter the palace quickly."
"Okay, okay," Shopkeeper Zheng Da quickly stood up and left with his entourage and servants.
Manbao put away the letters and account books and asked Xibing to prepare the horse, while she went to the main courtyard to change clothes.
Bai Shan was still waiting for her in the study to add fragrance to her red sleeves. Hearing something strange outside, he rushed over with his book. Seeing her changing into her official uniform, he was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Manbao looked back at him and said: "Zheng Gu had an accident in Luoyang. He purchased a large amount of medicinal materials to prevent colds, but some victims had problems after taking the medicine. He said that he checked carefully and found that some of the medicinal materials were fake.
Yes, but he doesn’t know if it was counterfeit medicine that was mixed in at the beginning of the purchase or if it was changed later. Now he has been jailed."
Man Bao paused and then said: "Purchasing counterfeit medicines with greed and cruelty and killing the people is a crime."
Bai Shan's expression changed. This was a serious crime. If it were confirmed, not only the Zheng family, but also teacher Zhou Man would be implicated.
He quickly put down the book and stepped forward to help her get dressed. Seeing that she was still a little thin, he turned to Xi Cake and said, "Go get a fox fur coat."
Xi Cake found a white fox fur suit, which matched her red official uniform.
Bai Shan tied it up for her, and his heart changed quickly, and he said: "This matter should not be made a big deal, but it is not enough for your Imperial Medical Office to come forward. Luozhou is a big state, and Luoyang has a reputation as a deputy capital. I am afraid that I will not be afraid."
Your Imperial Medical Office, so you have to ask Dali Temple to come forward, and I will go to Jingzhao Mansion for you. Senior Brother Tang is familiar with these things, and he may have some ideas."
