...
Zhao Wujiang and Jia Ersan stood in the shadows, and Jia Ersan began to report what he saw.
After Zhao Wujiang received the note from the eunuch Xiao Heizi, he ordered Jia Ersan to follow him all the way to the back warehouse of the Taiyuan Hospital, and to observe the changes in the expression of the warehouse manager Wang Youcai at all times on the road.
Because Zhao Wujiang speculated that there must be one or more medicinal materials hidden in this batch of medicinal materials that the powerful person like the director of Tai Hospital needed.
So he started to test Wang Youcai from the moment he checked the medicinal materials.
Faced with specific medicinal materials, Wang Youcai will inevitably react accordingly, such as excitement, panic, worry...
Jia Ersan, who was hiding in the dark, must have seen these changes in expressions clearly.
"My lord, when you were checking the first branch medicinal material and the seventh white jade bottle medicinal solution, Wang Youcai's expression suddenly became panicked, and the old slave also felt that the fluctuations in his aura were intensifying." Jia Ersan said clearly, word for word. :
"When you were collecting the first medicinal branch, the seventh medicinal liquid from the jade bottle, and the eleventh medicinal ginseng, the worry on Wang Youcai's face increased significantly!
The rest of the time, Wang Youcai smiled hypocritically, or concealed hatred, or showed disdain in his eyes. "
"Thank you for your hard work, Ersan." Zhao Wujiang's pupils were clear in black and white, and he quickly recalled the journey in his mind, trying to find out what he missed.
"It is the duty of this old slave to serve your lord!" Jia Ersan hid in the shadows, his expression respectful under the sky-blue mask.
Zhao Wujiang rubbed his fingers and narrowed his eyes slightly. He finally wanted to understand some details.
Ginseng! No, the soil in the ginseng box!
Ginseng, as one of the representatives of precious traditional Chinese medicines, has extremely harsh planting conditions.
Ginseng likes cold and tolerates cold, but is afraid of dampness and heat. Therefore, most of the best ginseng grows in cool old forests.
The ginseng from Taiyuan Hospital was taken out with the same soil as the ginseng. In addition, it was stored in the medicine hall of Taiyuan Hospital. The soil in the box must be dry or lumpy, instead of being warm, humid and fluffy like when Zhao Wujiang opened it just now.
This also explains why Wang Youcai had two strong reactions, the first time without ginseng and the second time.
Because the first time he was not worried about Zhao Wujiang checking the ginseng, but the second time Zhao Wujiang wanted to take the whole box back, he started to worry.
The point is, the soil containing ginseng.
Zhao Wujiang quickly opened the wooden box and took out the ginseng box. He picked up some soil with his fingers and rubbed it gently in his hands. Then he put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, which made his eyes widen.
Because he smelled the smell of blood, which was strong and pungent, and lingered.
You can't smell it at first, but you can smell it after it's crushed. This soil has been specially prepared.
"Sir, the medicinal materials purchased by the Tai Hospital have arrived..." Jia Ersan informed, and then the breeze blew and his figure disappeared.
Zhao Wujiang walked out of the shadows and wandered outside the imperial city. Not far away, a cart loaded with medicinal materials slowly approached. He walked up to it and smiled broadly.
There are a lot of medicinal materials purchased, most of which are packed in boxes and stacked on the car.
Zhao Wujiang was about to open it to check, but Wang Youcai rushed up, stopped him, and said calmly:
"Manager Zhao, it's okay to take what you send out, but what you send in needs to be in line with the accounts, so you can't take it!"
"Then let me check." Zhao Wujiang smiled and was about to open the box. With a "crash", Wang Youcai stuffed a splendid cloth bag the size of a human head into his arms. The bag was filled with gold and silver notes.
Wang Youcai smiled and said: "Manager Zhao... you deserve it!"
"But the inspection is what I should do." Zhao Wujiang raised his eyebrows and continued to reach for the medicine box with his big hand.
Isn't he just greedy... Wang Youcai's heart trembled, he gritted his teeth and took out another money bag from his arms, stuffed it into Zhao Wujiang's big hand, with a half-pleasant, half-threatening smile on his face:
"Mr. Zhao is very smart and should understand..."
Zhao Wujiang showed a "successful" smile on his face, and he said with a smile:
"Then just check one! After all, at the entrance to the imperial city, I wonder if anyone is watching..."
Wang Youcai narrowed his eyes. Zhao Wujiang was different from Chen Zhenghua. Chen Zhenghua was clearly one of his own, while Zhao Wujiang was just a "partner" who suddenly broke in. There were some things that he couldn't show him yet. If he saw any clues, it wouldn't be Good thing.
After a stalemate for a while, Wang Youcai reluctantly softened. Guessing that Zhao Wujiang couldn't see anything, he took a deep breath and moved away.
Zhao Wujiang slowly opened a wooden box, and what he saw was a wooden box full of green mulberry leaves.
"Bang!" A soft sound was like a heartbeat.
He felt something trembling in his arms. It was a small wooden box, and inside he used a silver needle to seal the Loulan Gu worm that he had taken out of Chen Zhenghua's body.
"Bang!" The tremor came again, Zhao Wujiang's eyes flashed, and he scraped a mulberry leaf with his thumb. When the nail cap turned slightly green, he raised his hand and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it.
The unique smell of mulberry leaves is combined with the deep smell of rust.
Then he closed the medicine box filled with mulberry leaves with a snap, and waved his hand:
"Enter the palace."
Pretending is unnecessary, isn't it just to be greedy? A eunuch who has become an eunuch at the same time... Wang Youcai snorted in his heart and followed the convoy into the palace.
