The raid on Tongjitang was carried out in secret, and only the person in charge, Ying Wu, knew the specific time of the operation. This was because he was worried that there would be Jin Guo's eyes in the house and the news would be leaked. After receiving Shen Cha's order, Ying Wu led three teams and prepared an ambush at Tongji Hall a whole day in advance.
After monitoring Tongjitang for two or three years, Shen Cha summarized the pattern of delivery fleets entering and leaving the city. Under normal circumstances, the convoy rushes into the city before the city gate closes, and catches up with the first group to leave the city after the city gate opens the next day. But nothing is absolute, and there are exceptions. On the first, fifth, fifteenth and twenty-fifth days of every month, the convoy will enter the city in advance. Around noon, it will rush to Tongjitang to unload the goods and leave Jiapingguan City before the city gate closes in the evening.
And today happens to be fifteen.
"It's Chinese New Year, and there are so many people here to buy medicine." Ying Shiqi, who had nothing to do and came to join in the fun, stood at the window on the second floor of the shop opposite Tongji Hall, watching the people coming and going in Tongji Hall, touching He touched his chin and said, "Are you worried that the pharmacies will be closed during the Chinese New Year, and if you get sick, you won't have anywhere to buy medicine?"
"Probably!" Ying Wu stood on the other side, observing the situation on the other side. This shop is the property of their town government. When they first decided to monitor Tongjitang, they bought it. While monitoring the situation on the other side, you can also do business, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. "Tongjitang has been open here for many years, and it is considered an old shop. It has a good reputation among the people. Although it doesn't deal with colleagues in the city very much and seems to be very withdrawn, the medicinal materials are genuine, unlike other people. At home, counterfeit medicines occasionally appear to be sold.”
"It's polite to say that sometimes, they should be able to sell fake ones, but not the real ones. Fifth brother, let me tell you, those companies are very brave, they dare to deceive anyone. You know , our Shen Jiajun's medicinal materials are all transferred from Xijing, and the hospital of Tai Hospital personally escorts them, there must be no problem of fake medicines. Moreover, under normal circumstances, we will not go to the city to purchase such a large amount of medicinal materials. The only thing The first time was probably five years ago. The old Duke of Guo had just passed away. After receiving the news, the Liao Dynasty shamelessly sent a large army to suppress the border. At that time, everyone was inexperienced and the fight was quite hard. What was terrible was that the transportation road was blocked. The Liao army was blocked, and the medicinal materials from Xijing could not get through. They had no choice but to requisition them from these drug stores in the city. The medicinal materials provided by Tongjitang were of the most complete variety, quantity, and quality, and the prices were also very low. To be fair, they only charged us a cost price. But in other stores, half of the goods were fakes, and the prices were ridiculously high. At that time, Jin Miaomiao went out with Master Huilan, and was not in the city. Several doctors accompanying the army were busy. It had to be a blow to the back of the head, and no one had time to check so carefully. After the battle, when the medicine depot was being counted, the incident occurred. At that time, a large number of soldiers had already lost their lives due to lack of timely treatment. Are you I didn’t see the look on the boss’s face at that time, so he just chopped off the heads of their shopkeeper and the person in charge of purchasing medicinal materials.”
"How come I don't know about this?"
"Didn't you and Brother Min go to Linhuang Mansion to visit some places? It would have been half a year when you came back. Things have changed and you have almost forgotten about it."
"But, don't you think it's strange? If Tongjitang has something to do with Jin, why would it support us with so many medicinal materials? Wouldn't it be better to watch us and Liao lose both sides while they reap the benefits?"
"I said, what kind of brain do you have? You are so forgetful! Didn't they talk about peace and marriage with us at that time? Naturally, they wanted to be with us instead of Liao. Moreover, Wanyan Zongcheng was not the king at that time, and Jin was against us. Their hostility is not so great, but they are very disgusted with Liao who refused their request for marriage and insulted their prince. If Liao was defeated by the young Duke, they would naturally be happy."
"I remembered, this is what happened!"
"I think after you go back, you have to ask Jin Miaomiao to check your brain and ask her to give you a prescription to cure your forgetfulness." Ying Qiqi curled his lips in disgust, "Hey, this time we copied Tongjitang , people in the city feel uneasy about seeing a doctor and buying medicine."
"Not necessarily, doesn't our boss always want to cure Jin Miaomiao's laziness? This is a good opportunity. Tongjitang has been raided, and there is one less reliable pharmacy in the city. Jin Miaomiao can just make up for it! "
"But pull it off, don't come up with bad ideas. Who is Jin Miaomiao? The descendant of the poison doctor! I think about her poisons every day, and I am always worried when I go to her medicine house. What did the Marquis say that day? , he was afraid that Jin Miaomiao would be unhappy, because she would want to poison people when she was unhappy, and it would be easy for her to do so if she was not careful. If you let her open a drug store, all the people in the city would have to run away. This idea is not How about it, don't talk too much in front of the boss! If you get scolded, I won't intercede for you."
"That's not necessarily true. Jin Miaomiao's character is quite good. Besides, there is a military advisor watching over her. If she dares to mess around, the military advisor will deal with her."
"I have never had any hope in the military advisor. If he could control Jin Miaomiao, Jin Miaomiao would not be like this!" Ying Qiwei shook his head helplessly and saw two fat men coming out from the opposite side. He looked at them carefully and said, "Hey, wait a minute, Fifth Brother, do you think these two fat guys look familiar to you? Have you seen them somewhere?"
"It doesn't look familiar. These are not the two lieutenants under Abuhan's grandson. I can't remember what they were called. They have very long names." Ying Wu sneered, "Abuhan plotted a rebellion. As a result, the news was leaked and reached Wanyanping's ears. Wanyanping struck preemptively and stabbed Abuhan to the core. As soon as Abuhan died, his men fled for their lives, but Wanyanping had already So we set up a dragnet, and Wan Yanping caught most of them, and a few slipped through the net. I heard that these two fat guys were the first to realize that the situation was not good, and ran away early. I thought they would He fled deep into the mountains and forests and waited until the storm had passed before coming out, but unexpectedly he hid in our Jiaping Pass."
"That's right. These two fat guys are quite courageous."
"He is foolhardy."
"Hey, anyway, we got a big deal. I thought there were only small fish and shrimps here, but I didn't expect it to be two big fish. Tell me, if we hand over the person to Wan Yanping, will she? She will thank us! I remember a few months ago, after Abuhan was issued, she handed over credentials to all countries, begging us Daxia, Liao, Uihe, Tubo, and even the Duan family, if they saw him They must be arrested. I think, let’s catch these two, and after the interrogation is over, we will notify Wanyan Ping to come and arrest them. With these two people in hand, we can make demands to them.”
"What a beautiful thought!" Ying Wu tilted his head and looked at the sky, then looked at the two fat guys standing at the door chatting happily about something, "Wanyanping doesn't have to do it with them, they definitely don't. It's worth the price. However, we can explore Wanyan Ping's background with them. If these two want to survive, they must say whatever they know and don't dare to hide anything."
"This is not necessarily true. It has been half a year since the two of them left the Kingdom of Jin. The Jin Army is no longer what it was when A Buhan was still there. As for Wanyanping's bad temper, as long as someone disobeys her, she will definitely Beat people until they are subdued. This is quite similar to our boss. I guess all the female generals who grew up at the border are the same way." Ying Shiqi felt a little cold, wrapped his body in a black cloak, and said, "Fifth brother, do you want to do it? This opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back!"
"Wait until there are fewer people in the shop, so as not to happen like the gold shop again."
Ying 5 turned away from the window and went downstairs, and Ying 17 followed closely behind him. Both of them looked excited and full of anticipation for the upcoming raid.
Towards the end of the day, the number of customers in the shop gradually dwindled, and everyone went back to have lunch and take a nap. Ying Wu gestured to his brothers who had surrounded the place, and blocked all the passages that could be entered and exited, and no one was allowed to go in. Anyone run out. After receiving the replies from the brothers, he and Ying Qiqi took the lead and walked towards Tongji Hall.
Abuhan's two fat lieutenants were still standing at the door chatting. I don't know if it was because they were broad-minded and fat. They didn't think that they were being hunted at all, so they exposed themselves to the sun so openly. Down.
"Hey, you are a rare visitor!" Ying Qiqi walked up to the two fat men with a square step and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since we last seen each other. Why do you feel like you two have gained weight again? You have been chased all day long. Shouldn’t I be thinner? Is it because I eat more?”
The two fat men were so angry at Ying Shiqi that they gasped and stared with big eyes, not knowing how to reply.
"Hey, fifth brother, aren't these two Abuhan's lieutenants? I heard that Abuhan was picked by Marshal Wanyan, and almost all of his men were wiped out. How come these two escaped and even came to our Jiaping Pass? Here we come!" Shadow Seventeen patted the belly of the two fat lieutenants, "It's true that you two didn't say hello to us when you came to our territory. We are all acquaintances, so let us do our best to be landlords. !”
The two fat lieutenants recognized Ying Wu and Ying Seventeen and knew that they were Shen Cha's subordinates. Therefore, the moment these two people appeared, their expressions suddenly turned bad and they subconsciously wanted to run away. Unfortunately, the medicine shop was surrounded. No matter where they are, they are all members of the Shen family.
"Want to run away?" Ying Shiqi raised his eyebrows, "Do you think you can run away? To tell you the truth, Jiaping Pass has been sealed, and no one is allowed in or out."
"You can't do this!" One of them shook his fist at Shadow Five and Shadow Seventeen, "You have no right to do this!"
"Hey, have you ever heard that sentence? I have the final say on my territory! You two must be tired of running wild on my territory!"
Shadow Seventeen couldn't help but kicked the fat lieutenant in the belly. Although he was thin, he was not much stronger than the two fat lieutenants. In addition, this was a sudden sneak attack. The fat lieutenant was not prepared at all. He was kicked and blinded. He took several steps back and fell to the ground with a bang. On the ground, the movement was so loud that the ground trembled a few times.
"I'm warning you two, as well as everyone here!" Ying Qiqi narrowed his eyes and said sinisterly, "Being obedient is your best choice. Don't toast or be punished with a drink. This is the big Xia, it’s not your Jin country, you want to do whatever you want here, just dream!”
"Catch! Don't let any one escape!"
With such a commotion outside, it is impossible for people in the medicine shop not to know that those clerks and apprentices with ulterior motives wanted to escape, but their skills were not as good as others. They fought with the shadows several times, but failed to defeat any of them. In the end, they could only be captured without mercy.
To ensure that everyone in Tongjitang and the delivery convoy were arrested, some people from Ying 5, together with Song Qiyun, who came to escort the prisoners, took the people to the cells specially used by Shen Jiajun to hold agents from various countries, while Ying 17 took others Some people began to conduct a comprehensive search of Tongjitang and brought all the documents and other things in Tongjitang back to the Zhenguo government.
The people in Jiaping Guancheng were shocked when Tongjitang was confiscated. What shocked them even more was that all the people in this pharmacy, from the boss, shopkeeper, and doctors to the clerks, apprentices, and the pharmacists who delivered goods every day, were all genuine. of Jin people.
