Yesterday, I received a letter from my eldest brother Zhang Shun, which was sent back to Xiangkou. It was quite long and thick in my hand. The above is not talking about longing, but telling Zhang Yan in detail what he has done since arriving in Xiangkou during this period, as well as the current business situation.
Just as Zhang Yan had imagined, the business of Zhang Ji Woodware Shop in Xiangkou was going smoothly. Especially when Zhang Deng opened, there was a plaque with the words "Business is booming" given by Shi Xuan, commander of the Eastern Army Army, which was most eye-catching and made everyone who came and went speechless.
In addition, fortunately, I had prepared enough goods before, otherwise the large number of orders from Xiangkou's opening would have froze the business. Now that the biggest purchasing trend has passed, all we need to do is continue to replenish supplies. From now on, Zhangjia Woodware Shop will take root in Xiangkou.
However, Zhang Shun had other ideas about buying a house in Xiangkou. He originally planned to buy a decent house to live in and support the facade. But recently, a notice came out saying that a batch of criminal property will be sold in the near future, and there are several very good houses in it. He was going to wait and see if he could buy it.
Zhang Shun's letter was read three times by Zhang Huiyuan and then put away by Wang Lanping. Wang Lanping has always been worried about her eldest son who has left home and is in a broken body. Now that I have received the letter from home, I feel relieved. But she still asked Zhang Huiyuan to add her instructions in her reply, including "You two should work harder and add more people to the family as soon as possible."
Wang Lanping mentioned Zhang Yan and Zhang Huiyuan again in passing, saying that they were both young and could not just think about themselves, but had to think about starting a family. Zhang Huiyuan was so ashamed that she turned around and went back to her room. However, Zhang Yan smiled playfully and suppressed Wang Lanping's intention of finding someone to match him again.
"Humph! I see you're not in a hurry now, wait until you are in a hurry later!" Wang Lanping shook her head, as if she had seen the day when her second son would also become a bachelor. When the time comes, shouldn’t she, the mother-in-law, be the one to help?
"By the way, mother, you should take this pill now to rest your mind." Zhang Yan took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Wang Lanping with a smile.
Wang Lanping was no stranger to elixirs and knew that Er Zi learned this skill from the old gentleman. Even Mr. Zhou, the city guard of Langyuan City, asked for the ability to come to the door. But when she poured it out, she saw that this pill was not the one she had seen before. But it still smells delicious, and I have the instinct to swallow it.
"Yan'er, isn't this the bone-strengthening pill? It looks so beautiful!" Wang Lanping curiously poured out the pill and looked at it in the palm of her hand, and was fascinated by the fluorescence flowing on it.
"Mom, this is not a bone-strengthening pill, it's just a general mind-restoring pill. Didn't you often say you couldn't sleep well before? You should be much better after taking this one." Zhang Yan didn't tell Wang Lanping that this was a pill that could The green elixir that increases lifespan by ten years. Anyway, Wang Lanping doesn't know much about elixirs at all, so she won't talk about it. After taking this green pill, Wang Lanping doesn't have any serious diseases. As long as she pays attention to her health, the ten years of longevity will surely fall on her.
"Can this thing be used to nourish the mind? Will it be expensive? Otherwise, forget it." Wang Lanping felt that she was not very serious, but sometimes she couldn't sleep well and often woke up. There was no need to waste a pill on the second son.
But Zhang Yan shook his head and insisted that Wang Lanping take it. In the end, she couldn't push it away, so Wang Lanping swallowed the green pill in front of Zhang Yan.
"Wow! My whole body feels warm after eating it! And I feel like sleeping." Wang Lanping felt that the elixir melted in her mouth, and then her whole body felt slightly warm from the inside out, and then she felt a long-lost drowsiness. I quickly went to wash up and then went back to the house to rest. I went to bed half an hour earlier than usual.
This is normal. Wang Lanping is not a monk, not even a warrior, and she is also old. Although the effect of Biqing Dan is mild, it cannot be absorbed casually. Especially for the mysterious changes in soul and lifespan, these take a long time for Wang Lanping. She felt that lethargy was a reaction from the soul. It will be fine after few days.
The Biqing Pill that Wang Lanping took was the second one that Zhang Yancai refined. The first one was eaten by him before, and this one was given to my mother. He is not going to refine Bi Qing Dan anymore. The younger sister and elder brother and sister-in-law are now getting rich, and it is not time to use such things.
What Zhang Yan needs to refine next is the Peiyuan Pill. He even drew up the screening range for some of the later medicinal materials. We can start preparations as soon as Yuzhilan Gan from Beiwu arrives.
On the other side, also in Langyuan City, the Wu Mansion, unlike the Zhang family, where everything is going smoothly, it can be said that things are going very hard here. Beijiang County Zuojun Langguan Yang Jie felt that his beard was almost pulled out by himself. Before he came to Langyuan City, he never imagined that things would develop to this point.
Wu Yuan died inexplicably, and the mess left behind involved an assassin who was probably still lurking. These assassins can listen to Wu Yuan or others. If they are not eliminated, they will be a major problem in Nanyuan Kingdom, and it will also make it difficult for many serious crimes committed by Wu Yuan to be implemented, let alone solved. This undoubtedly posed a huge difficulty for Yang Jie. Because he still has no clue at all.
Even after all, since Wu Yuan's death, things in Langyuan City have basically begun to gradually fall out of Yang Jie's plan.
What Yang Jie didn't expect now was that the people he thought would come to take over the case of Wu Yuan raising assassins didn't come. Instead, some people came wearing red robes with waistbands that read "Nanyuan Special Case." Secretary" person.
Yang Jie was confused. As the Langguan of Zuojun in Beijiang County, he naturally knew what these people from the Nanyuan Special Case Division meant, but he never expected to recruit them.
Isn't this a local case? Even if the work is ineffective, we shouldn't ask someone from the Nanyuan Special Case Division to take over, right? Didn't the county governor's office transfer manpower from the yamen?
"Master Shen, can an assassin's case disturb the Special Cases Division? There must be a reason for me to hand over the case, right?"
"Mr. Yang, with your status, you don't need me to introduce the powers of our Special Case Division, right? We never need to give reasons for the cases we take over. Not to mention you, Mr. Yang, even the county governor, Mr. Xiao, is not qualified. .”
This sentence left Yang Jie speechless for a long time. My mind was racing, thinking about what could have provoked these guys.
The so-called special case division has a rotating duty in every county magistrate's office. They do not obey the orders of the county magistrate, and there are no specific rules for their responsibilities. However, they will check the official reports and messages collected from various places in the county magistrate's office. Once they find something worthy of their attention from these messages, they will take action. From the county magistrate's office to the local garrison, they need to cooperate with them to the maximum extent.
