Chapter 227 Doubt of Liu Niang, almost revealing the truth

Huang's death has always been a soft thorn in the heart of beautiful scenery. Every time she touches it, it will produce a dull pain, followed by a more obscure uneasiness. It is like the hazy early spring of Yuanqing five years, which makes people restless. When she learned that Huang Liuniang also had a general view with her, she thought that something was strange, plus Jiang Yue He hesitated and didn't know what to say, and the scenery became more and more suspicious. One day in mid-March, he returned to the eldest princess and said that she learned that her grandmother was not in good health and went to visit the waiting house.

Naturally, it will not be rejected.

On this day, when she arrived at the Hou Mansion with Liu Niang, she saw that her grandmother had only been short for a year, and her body was not as good as before. Even her eldest aunt and temples had added a few traces of silver white, and her heart was even more sour. She dared not mention her fifth cousin again, which was extremely comforting.

I didn't ask for details until I was alone with Huang Liuniang.

"To tell you the truth, I was also very confused when I heard the bad news last year, but I couldn't find any clue." The scene sighed.

Reuming the old story, Huang Liuniang was sad and indignant, and her eyes immediately turned red: "I heard from the elders in my family say that Sister Jing also invited Mr. Jianggu's daughter for treatment for this, which is also a part of my poor fifth sister. I am grateful, but these days, I have been depressed and have no mood to visit. Thank you."

"I didn't say these polite words, but I heard Jiang Yue mention it that day. You don't seem to have put down your doubts, and you have been punished by your aunt for this. Is that true?" Ying asked again.

Huang Liuniang knew that Yijing and Jiang Yue had always been friends. Although there was a feeling of resentment on her face, she was also a little hesitant.

"Cousin, I have always felt that the Yunshui monk is strange. I heard that my uncle also looked for him, but there was no news. I felt more and more that there was an article in it. I don't know if my cousin is also suspicious because of this reason?" When Yijing saw Jiang Yue, Huang Liuniang actually looked like this, and she was even more confused.

Finally, Huang Liuniang sighed: "I don't believe what those gods and ghosts said... Because of the incident, I was far away from my ancestral home in Cangzhou, and I didn't know many details. After returning, I was very anxious when I heard that my mother had sent green plums. I blamed my mother for being confused. The disease was first infected by the maid. If anyone wants to be dark It's not impossible to send those 'dirty things' in.

This is indeed a place that comes to mind with the scenery.

"But I think the elders also have this kind of suspicion. They should have asked Qingmei." Jing said again. On that day, Jiang Wei asked Qingmei, who had been rescued, to make sure that she had not accepted external things and had no contact with outsiders.

"Everyone missed a little. Qingmei did not have contact with the outside, but..." Speaking of this, Huang Liuniang paused and finally made up her mind: "I asked Qingmei carefully. Has the family given her anything, especially... Sister, don't be annoyed. Because it is really difficult to harm outsiders, I suspect that the family has given birth to an insider... The most suspicious thing is the second uncle..."

Yi Jing was stunned and said that it was no wonder that the second uncle was a concubine after all. Didn't even the third aunt have been guarding against the two brothers and sisters of the second uncle and stepmother?

"Qingmei denied it, saying that her mother had already told her that her second uncle and second aunt had never been close to the fifth sister... But she remembered that once the seventh sister came to visit the fifth sister and chatted with them. She heard Qingmei complaining about Baiguo, saying that she had stained the newly cut embroidered skirt when she was playing. Baiguo was unconvinced and choked a few words with Qingmei. At that time, the fifth sister I was already bored, so I had to punish the two maids, and the seventh sister. She said that Qingmei was the same as the third aunt, so she had to give her third aunt's old clothes to Qingmei and asked her not to take these little things to heart. In a few days, she really asked for a few semi-new dresses from the third aunt and gave them to Qingmei.

"Are those dresses still there?"

"It has been destroyed by my mother." Huang Liuniang sighed, "Did the fifth sister was infected with such a bad disease, not to mention the things of the maids, even the fifth sister's things were burned and buried."

"Cousin is suspicious of Jiang Yue and his third aunt?" Yijing was surprised. Although her impression of Jiang Yue was greatly subverted, it could be said that Jiang Yue killed Huang Wuniang... They are cousins and have always been close. Besides, there are no contradictory gains and losses. Even if Huang Wuniang dies, there is no benefit to Jiang Yue. If Jiang Yue has an intention to the third prince... No, Yijing is sure that Jiang Yue is sure that although Jiang Yue She has the desire to climb the noble, but it is not aimed at the third prince. In her previous life, she has never been jealous of Yichen, and even has no contact with the third prince.

"I didn't doubt the seventh sister and the third aunt, but I thought it was a clue, so I asked the third aunt if she knew about this. The third aunt admitted it. I asked her where the dresses came from, and suspected that someone had been touched. The third aunt herself did not know it. The third aunt denied it and didn't want things to spread. They all said that I was suspicious and suspected blood relatives... ...Grandma was angry, hurt, and fell ill, so my mother punished me and refused to ask about it again, so that my family was restless.

No wonder Jiang Yue mentioned this matter, and the meeting was vague. Meijing solved her doubts, but knotted another dead knot that could not be untied. She was a little frightened to think that Jiang Yue was vaccinated with acne when she was a child and was not afraid of getting "acne" again. If she really put in a sore dress, it is theoretically Yes!

However, she has no evil cause. Yijing never believed that Jiang Yue would be so vicious that she would murder her blood relatives and be a sister without any grudges.

Maybe, it's just a coincidence.

At present, the material evidence should be destroyed and can no longer be confirmed. If only based on these speculations, it is doubt that the third aunt and Jiang Yue are indeed suspected of being "suspicuous" and "provoking troubles". Because of this unsolved doubts, the scene has no mood and Jiang Yue, who "heard the news", sat for a while and sat with Liu Niang returned to the government.

It is also because these doubts are only limited to speculation and inference, which cannot be confirmed for the time being. The scenery is so that it can only be temporarily left aside and continue to worry about another "big event".

In the fifth year of Yuanqing in my memory, there was a flood in the waters of Dinghe River, resulting in disasters in five coastal counties under the jurisdiction of the state. I vaguely remember the outbreak of plague in the disaster area in August, and the disaster even threatened Zhili Prefecture and County. However, because she did not pay much attention to political affairs in her previous life, she only heard a little discussion that there were herbs to prevent and control malaria, due to the spring drought. Accumulated with death, there is not much surplus in the market, and due to the sudden outbreak of the plague, the original cheap medicine is actually more expensive than mountain ginseng. Although the Holy Emperor ordered the household department to allocate money for disaster relief, it triggered a dispute between the court and China because the drug dealers sat on the ground. However, because the unknown medicinal materials were indeed rare at that time, the drug dealers claimed that the cost of large number of requisitioning from various places was too high. If it was flat It seems that some courtiers say that what the drug dealers say is true, and the court should not force them to calm down, otherwise it will cause serious losses and even bankrupt. Pharmaceutical merchants are also the people of Dalong and should also be protected by the emperor.

I don't know what happened later. I still remember listening to my aunt's complaints - those so-called courtiers who beg for the people were all deceived. The floods suddenly occurred, and no one expected a sudden plague. Even if the herbs died because of the spring drought, they were not in a hurry. They must be colluding with the profiteers and dirty officials. With this profit-making, poor disaster victims infected with malaria have not been diagnosed and treated in time. Instead, drug dealers have made a lot of money. After this natural disaster, many upstarts have emerged in Bingzhou and Jizhou.

Natural disasters are ruthless, and man-made disasters are even worse!

Bin scenery is not a scholar who "worry about the country and the people". She is a boudoir woman with limited ability, but because of her insight into the future, if she does nothing, she thinks of the people who destroyed their homes in the flood and died of the plague. Her conscience is difficult to avoid disasters. Even if she aded at this time, she claimed that there will be Hong Wei persuaded the people of the five counties to move, but she was afraid that she would be regarded as "crazy talk". What's more shameful, she couldn't even remember the detailed places affected by the disaster.

Why do you remember a Bingzhou, all because it is my grandmother's fief.

The eldest princess was named Shangyuan, but the fief was in the area of Bingzhou. Although the princess was one level higher than the princess, she only enjoyed taxes on food and did not have the right to interfere in government affairs. Therefore, the eldest princess was affected by the disaster. Although the eldest princess was concerned about it and used money to provide disaster relief, she was also very angry at the price promotion of the pharmaceutical merchants in Bingzhou, and proposed to the emperor and proposed to the emperor. The court forcibly suppressed drug prices and sent imperial envoys to the local government to supervise and treat the disaster relief. The former proposal was not adopted, but the latter proposal was in line with the Holy One.

Bingjing doesn't remember who the imperial envoy was at the beginning, but it obviously had no effect. Only five counties were affected by the Dinghe flood. The disaster was not creepy, but tens of thousands of people died in the plague.

The court allocated millions of taels of silver for disaster relief, but this turned out to be the case.

I still remember that the person who later betrayed the blame seemed to be several county magistrates, saying that the dam was not solid enough, and it seemed that they also concealed the disaster and was beheaded.

It is also said that the shopkeeper of the pharmacy in the Yijing dowry is an old man surnamed Zhu who is over 50 years old. He is only slightly good at medical skills, but this pharmacy is not the property of the government, but the dowry of Yijing's biological mother in those years. However, when Wan Niang married, the pharmacy was only a shop, which was rented out for people to operate.

Shopkeeper Zhu was originally a domestic slave of Jianning Houfu, but later became husband and wife with Wanniang's wet nurse, and the whole family became a companion room.

Later, because of the excellent location, the shop was originally operating silk brocade. Unexpectedly, the merchant's family was poisoned because of a grudge against people.

The original store with an excellent location bears the notoriety of "feng shui" and is difficult to rent out.

Before selling himself as a slave, the shopkeeper Zhu was originally an apprentice of the pharmacy. Later, because the shop was difficult to rent out, Wanniang's wet nurse died of illness, so Wanniang simply handed over the shop to the shopkeeper Zhu and asked him to change it into a pharmacy. He only operated some precious medicinal materials, such as Lingzhi mountain ginseng bird's nest, which was also regarded as letting The father and son of the shopkeeper Zhu have a place to settle down and no longer do slavery.

Yijixun's shopkeeper inquired about the medicine for malaria, and he also knew a little: "What Wu Niang said should be a green pot. This medicine is available in the north and south of the grassland, and it is also commonly used by Langzhong to treat malaria, but its effect is not significant. However, in the previous dynasty, when there was a famous doctor, he found that the green penny was used by ordinary people to repel mosquitoes. Wormworm is a good medicine for malaria, and many practices have proved this point... However, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the wind and rain have been smooth, and there are not many warm epidemics, so this medicine can't be sold at high prices on the market.

"But will the spring drought in many places this year have an impact on the stock of this herb?" The scene asked.

Shopkeeper Zhu is very rare: "Wu Niang actually knows about this? Yellow wormworm is not afraid of cold and dampness, but it is the most drought. Many people died this spring, and all on the market are concocted after the autumn harvest.

"Do we have a pharmacy? How much is the stock?" Ying asked in a hurry.

Shopkeeper Zhu shook his head: "Our pharmacy operates some precious medicinal materials, and we don't have a room in the middle, so they are all purchased by noble mansions to make medicinal diet tonic soup, and there has never been such herbs."

"If you buy it now, what is the cost?"

Shopkeeper Zhu was surprised: "Wuniang, even if this year's medicinal material is urgent due to the spring drought, it is not often used, so there is not much benefit in buying and hoarding. As for the cost... the old slave has not paid attention to it."

The beautiful scenery can't explain it carefully. Only let Manager Zhu inquire quickly, and there will be a result soon. The price is not high, but if it is to play a significant role in disaster relief and save human lives, the principal will be at least tens of thousands...

This is undoubtedly a stunned number for Yijing. Although she has a lot of industries, there is a great shortage of cash that can be used.

But if the purchase volume is too small, it's okay to make a small fortune with the " natural disaster and man-made disaster", but it is a fool's dream to try to suppress the price of medicine.

In addition to sighing, but I didn't want to give up easily, so I put my mind on my grandmother, the "rich man", but I wanted to buy a large number of medicinal herbs for no reason. I really need a reasonable explanation, and the difficulty lies in this explanation.

Even the shopkeeper Zhu was surprised by the "hoarding" of a small amount of chrysanthemium in Yijing, not to mention the large amount of hoarding. After reflecting, Yijing finally thought of a helper - Master Tongji!
