Yue Lingbo is thoughtful and has already thought of the next plan for Xia Shang.
Xia Shang nodded and said that he would investigate the matter clearly.
But what is more urgent now is when his apprentice will wake up so that he can know more clearly what happened.
"Let her recuperate at my place. When she wakes up, I will notify you as soon as possible."
There is no rush in the current situation, so we can only do what Yue Lingbo wants.
Xia Shang now has to make arrangements quickly to see how he can keep an eye on the flow of medicinal materials in the past two days.
There was not much delay in this matter, so Xia Shang left quickly.
There are many pharmacies in the capital, and it is not easy to keep an eye on them all. Moreover, he now has his own identity and cannot remain missing.
Xia Shang thought for a while on the street, and then he thought of a person who had been in the medicinal materials business.
The owner of Fenghui Bank was Liao Baican, who was once the head of the Weaving Department.
Liao Baishen's business penetrates into various industries in the capital. In addition to banking and tea, he is also involved in medicinal materials.
Although he does not have a large proportion in the capital, he has connections. It should not be difficult for him to contact all the medicinal material owners in the capital and secretly keep an eye on the incoming and outgoing of his own medicines.
To contact Liao Baican, you naturally need someone.
Xia Shang called a carriage and went directly to the Yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate without avoiding suspicion. However, Xia Shang did not show up and only inquired about the whereabouts of Yu Nu through trusted people.
The jade slave was a gift given to Xia Shang by Liao Baican as a sign of goodwill to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Xia Shang arranged the jade slave in the Metropolitan Procuratorate to take care of the Weaving Department, but rarely paid attention to this woman's situation.
After coming to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to inquire, I found out that Yu Nu had quit the Metropolitan Procuratorate after learning that Xia Shang was no longer the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and returned to Xia Shang's abandoned house in the capital to live alone.
So Xia Shangyou took a car and returned to his home opposite the Prince's Mansion.
Xia Shang has not been back here for some time, and there were originally a few servants taking care of it.
After returning to the yard, I didn't find any trace of the servants, but I could clearly feel that someone had cleaned the house and everything was clean.
When he returned home, Xia Shang would inevitably reminisce about some scenes from the past. At that time, his wife was still around and the place was so busy that he couldn't live in it anymore.
But now, there is only Xia Shang
With a few snowflakes, it is inevitably deserted.
"who?"
Xia Shang was wandering around the courtyard, and when he reached the door of his room, he heard Yu Nu's voice coming from inside.
The door opened, and Yunu came out wrapped in a thick cloak. Her familiar face was still as stunning as ever, but she looked paler than before.
Seeing Xia Shang, Yu Nu was stunned: "Master?"
Xia Shang nodded: "Why did you come back here without saying a word?"
Yu Nu was a little excited. He reached the snow in two steps, walked up to Xia Shang, and bent down to kneel down.
Xia Shang grabbed her: "Can you contact Liao Baishen?"
Jade Slave was in a daze again. Perhaps he was worried that his master would suspect that he was connected with his family, so he shook his head and said: "Master, Jade Slave has already..."
"Don't think too much. I need Liao Baishen's help now and I need to get in touch with him urgently."
Yu Nu looked at Xia Shang for a while, then lowered his head worriedly: "If Master wants to see him, Yu Nu can take Master there."
"Without further ado, let's go now?"
"Right now?" Obviously, Jade Slave didn't expect his master to be so anxious.
"The carriage is waiting outside."
In this way, Yunu hurriedly got into the carriage with Xia Shang and told the coachman to go to a tea shop in the east of the city.
The tea shop was not famous, neither Xia Shang nor Xia Shang had heard of it, but it was quite far away and it would take half an hour to walk there on a carriage.
In the carriage, Yu Nu half-knelt beside Xia Shang like a servant, and placed a pair of small hands on Xia Shang's legs naturally, squeezing them gently.
Of course, Xia Shang was not very used to this feeling of superiority and signaled Yu Nu to sit down.
But Yunu didn't listen much, he just looked at Xia Shang with joy written on his face.
"Master, why did you come home suddenly?"
"I came to see you. I went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and learned that you are no longer in the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"Looking for Yu Nu?" Yu Nu's eyes flashed with excitement.
"After thinking about it, if I want to find Liao Baishen, it should be faster if I go through you."
"Oh." Yu Nu responded, her excitement lessened a lot.
"Why did you suddenly leave the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
"I heard that the master is no longer the master of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Naturally, Yunu doesn't want to continue there. And the Metropolitan Procuratorate will do it every day.
There are a lot of new people coming, and everyone is busy fighting for power, and there are many people who are deliberately making things difficult. Yu Nu doesn’t want to fight with them anymore, so it’s best to leave.”
When Xia Shang heard what Yu Nu said about the situation in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Xia Shang was not surprised, because such a situation could actually be expected.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate is such an important gateway, and without its leader, all forces in the capital will naturally try their best to fill it with people and seize power.
"Then why did you come home? You know there should be no one at home."
"The Jade Slave naturally wants to stay with the Master, but the Jade Slave is also aware of the Master's situation. When the Master does not ask for it, the Jade Slave cannot disturb him. After thinking about it, he can only stay at the Master's house until the Master needs the Jade Slave.
It’s also the easiest to find when the time comes.”
Xia Shang looked at Jade Slave. He didn't have much contact with her and didn't know her well. But after all, she was not a simple maid, and this woman could indeed inadvertently arouse the most primitive desires in Xia Shang's heart.
I have some weird feelings for her.
Moreover, Xia Shang is used to being surrounded by women. In the past few days, he has been alone and inevitably feels a little lonely. Now that he is sitting with Yu Nu, he feels a lot more at ease.
After thinking about it, Xia Shang said: "There is no one around me recently, so just follow me."
Yunu's eyes lit up, and without asking any more questions, he quickly responded: "Yes, Master."
While he was talking, the carriage had stopped. The driver in front opened the curtain and said, "Master, we're here."
Xia Shang got off the bus with Yu Nu, gave the driver some money, and then Yu Nu led Xia Shang into an unnamed tea shop in front of him.
The tea shop not only sells tea, but also has a small workshop in the backyard with a place for frying and drying. You can smell all kinds of tea from a distance.
The shopkeeper of the tea shop was a hunchbacked old man. He greeted the two guests like an ordinary businessman and asked them what tea they wanted to buy.
The jade slave stepped forward and whispered a few words to the old man. The hunchbacked old man looked surprised and the expression on his face changed. He looked at Xia Shang again, and then said: "You two, please wait inside for a moment."
After saying that, the hunchbacked old man led Xia Shang the way.
But Yunu seemed to be very familiar with this place. He took his master, bypassed the old man, and went to the backyard.
As they walked, Yu Nu said: "Master, Yu Nu was once the master of this family. He helped Mr. Liao sell tea for a year, so he knows everything here."
