Chapter 0059 The elixir is easy to refine, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false
"You want to negotiate terms with us?"
Kou Zhun widened his eyes and looked at Kou Ji in disbelief.
Li Di frowned displeased.
Others also frowned.
In the Song Dynasty, the number of people who were qualified to negotiate terms with them could be counted on one hand.
Kou Ji is obviously not included in this list.
Seeing that they were all frowning and displeased, Kou Ji was not afraid at all.
He is confident.
Kou Ji said with a smile: "You should know in your hearts how much impact and shock this matter will have if it gets out. You are important ministers in the court and the pillars of the country. Even if you encounter influence and shock,
It's enough to protect yourself.
But the boy is just a little person.
If you are contaminated with this matter, if you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces.
For the sake of my life, I have to do this."
Kou Zhun and others were stunned.
The look on his face softened a bit.
Kou Zhun said angrily: "You are as timid as a mouse. You are my grandson. With me protecting you, who dares to touch you?"
Li Di raised his hand to stop Kou Zhun and said with a wry smile: "He is worried for a reason. If the official gets angry and cuts him off with a knife, we may not be able to protect him."
"snort!"
Kou Zhun snorted coldly and said nothing.
Li Di said to Kou Ji: "Tell me your conditions."
Kou Ji cupped his hands and said: "First, you are not allowed to tell anyone about my refining of the elixir, let alone mention to outsiders that I discovered the poisonous elixir."
Li Di nodded.
"I promise you."
"Secondly, you are not allowed to peek when the elixir is being refined. This is not a good thing. If it spreads, it will only harm more people."
"Do you think I and others are so miserable?"
Li Di shouted angrily.
Kou Ji said seriously: "It is essential to be on guard against others..."
Li Di glared at Kou Ji and said harshly: "I promise you."
"Thirdly, you must deal with all servants and servants who know the information properly and do not allow them to stay in Bianjing anymore."
Li Di looked at Kou Ji with a faint look, "How much do you cherish your life?"
Kou Ji said sheepishly: "You only have one life, you can't lose it easily."
Li Di sighed, "I promise you, start refining the elixir quickly."
Kou Ji nodded, "Let someone move the things to my yard."
Wang Shu immediately summoned Kou Zhong and asked people to move the prepared things into Kou Ji's yard.
Kou Ji drove everyone out, leaving Er Bao alone to serve him.
He started tinkering with the elixir in the yard.
I worked on it from morning until noon.
Didn't eat any food either.
Kou Zhun and others didn't eat either and waited outside the yard for most of the day.
After waiting for a long time, Kou Zhun became a little anxious.
“I’ll go in and take a look?”
Li Di shook his head, "No hurry, no hurry. I heard that it takes an ordinary Taoist three to five days to refine the elixir, and only half a day has passed. What if he reaches a critical moment in refining the elixir, and you rush in so rashly?"
Go, interrupt him, and have to wait all over again."
Kou Zhun nodded gloomily.
Zhou Huaizheng said with a bitter face: "Guys, did you really agree to Kou Ji's conditions like this? If he can really refine the elixir and prove that the elixir is poisonous, our family will definitely report it to the officials.
When the officials ask about it, what should we say?"
Li Di glanced at him and said calmly: "I agreed..."
Zhou Huaizheng cried and said: "This matter is of great importance, we cannot be hasty..."
Wang Shu couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him: "We didn't agree..."
Zhou Huaizheng was stunned, "But, Mr. Li..."
Li Di said disdainfully: "Can you call yourself an old man?"
Zhou Huaizheng was stunned on the spot, and after a long time, he smiled excitedly: "Yes, yes, our family is just a eunuch, a man without eggs. Our family is not an old man, and our family has not agreed..."
In Sijun Garden.
Kou Ji, who was sleeping soundly in his room, had no idea that he was being plotted by a group of important officials in the court.
On the table in his room, there was a wooden box lying quietly, filled with round red elixirs.
Erbao guarded the elixir loyally and unblinkingly, as if he was afraid that if he blinked, he would lose one.
To refine the elixir, the Taoists needed three to five days, but Kou Ji did not need it.
He will not blow up the furnace because the materials are incompatible with each other, nor will he refine the materials into slag because of imbalance in the proportions.
Kou Ji has long been familiar with the matching and proportion of materials.
So it only took him two hours to complete the refining.
Spent the rest of the time sleeping.
Kou Ji slept until dusk, then woke up quietly.
After getting up, he saw Erbao staring at the elixir with red eyes, so he said angrily: "Don't stare at it, that thing is not valuable."
Er Bao turned his head and said stubbornly: "Young Master asked Er Bao to watch, Er Bao must watch."
Kou Ji shook his head in confusion.
"No need to look..."
"Pack up, let's go out, they should be waiting impatiently."
"..."
Things have been packed.
Kou Ji led Erbao out of Sijun Garden.
Outside Sijun Garden, Kou Zhun and the others, who almost turned into Wangfushi, saw Kou Ji and immediately came to greet him.
"Where's the elixir?"
"The second treasure is the elixir."
"..."
Erbao respectfully handed the box containing the elixir to Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun couldn't wait to open the box.
Everyone looked up.
"Is it really refined?"
"Do you really know how to refine elixirs?"
"A little too fast..."
Kou Zhun and others were shocked beyond measure.
Wang Shu lost his voice and said: "There are still so many?"
Wang Zeng hesitated: "Could it be fake?"
Zhou Huai was standing on tiptoes, looking at the elixir in the box, and exclaimed: "The appearance is exactly the same."
Wang Zeng shook his head and said, "It's hard to tell whether it's true or not."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "It's actually easy. Take an elixir from the box, mix it with the elixir given by the official, and find someone who knows medical skills to distinguish it. Then it will be clear."
"Then what are you waiting for! Let's go!"
Kou Zhun and others were about to leave holding the elixir in their hands.
Kou Ji reminded them from behind: "Remember, don't look for doctors who have connections with the palace, and you can't look for several doctors in the palace. It's best to look for a charlatan..."
"We have our own sense of discretion."
The words fell to the ground.
Kou Zhun and others disappeared.
Kou Ji looked at the empty entrance of Sijun Garden just now, clicked his lips, and said with emotion: "To kill the donkey..."
Erbao tilted his head and said, "Master, let's go eat. I haven't eaten for a day and I'm hungry."
Kou Ji nodded, "Let's go to Zhouqiao Street. Let's meet Liu Heng and the others by the way and see how they are cleaning up the shop."
Kou Ji led Erbao and walked out of the house.
Just walked to the door of the house.
Then I saw a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding swords rushing into the gate of the house.
