I Own a Garden with One Hundred Herbs

Chapter 421: A Businessman Who Arrives Suddenly

Baicaoshi's courtyard is the quietest place in the City Lord's Mansion, and it can be said that it is completely under Zhe Yu's control.

Someone came to look around, took off the hood, and revealed a beautiful face, it was the woman who even King Li was tempted to see.

"My lord, can I take a step to speak?"

"It's okay, let's talk here." Men and women are different, and it is not convenient for Zhe Yu to invite her in.

The woman lifted up her skirt and made a big gift.

"Minister Ning Zao, I took the liberty to come here today, and I'm here to thank you for your help to the poor women in Fengzhou."

Um? Unexpectedly, Zhe Yu gave a weak support, "Miss, please get up. I just did what I thought I should do, and I can't bear such a big gift from the girl."

Ning got up early, raised his eyes, his eyes were black and white, "It may be just a little effort for you, but for these women, it is really a great kindness. Now that everyone has left the City Lord's Mansion, I will thank you for you."

"Then why don't you leave?"

Ning Zao took a step forward, her eyes fell on the empty night, with a little bit of snow, and there was a sense of desolation as if every inch of youth was withering. "There are no survivors in my family, and I have nowhere to go. Besides, how can your chief general of Dayan let me go? I will be sent to the high wall of Zhumen after all."

Oriha understood.

Ying Zheli couldn't bear this opportunity.

If such a beautiful woman is sent to the palace, she may have a chance to be favored by Concubine Si.

Zhe Yu didn't say anything more, as far as he was concerned, he had already done what had to be done. "So, you have decided to enter the palace?"

Ning Zao looked back, her eyes were clear and pure, "Yes, I have made my decision. I heard that the Holy Majesty is already in his fifties..."

The light in her eyes flickered, and she stared at Zhe Yu burningly. "My lord, I am not reconciled, nor willing, but I have already died once. My lord has done me a favor, and this little girl can't repay me. Only with this innocent body, if my lord makes me perfect, my little girl will have no more regrets. "

As she spoke, she raised her hand to untie the strap of her cloak.

Zhe Yu stopped her.

"Miss Ning, what I did that day was not to repay you, but to do what I wanted, so you don't have to take it too seriously. And after you enter the palace, you will check it layer by layer. If you find any discrepancies, you will be beheaded." Big crime. It's getting late, girl, please go back."

Ning Zao bit her lower lip, feeling that heaven and man were at war in her heart. "Young master, do you think I'm not beautiful?"

Zhe Yu turned his back to her and never looked back, "You might as well tell the girl that I have a wife, she is the best woman in the world, and I will never betray her. So girl, everything has nothing to do with appearance."

Ning Zao took a deep breath, the north wind soaked into his heart and spleen, and suddenly felt very cold. "Young master's wife, how lucky, to be so loved by the young master, Ning Zao has only Linyuan Xianyu. I'm here today, and I have something else to do." She walked around in front of Zhe Yu, looked up at him, "I shouldn't have saved Considering the heart of a son, I am not the kind of shameless woman. When I go to the court, I only hope to be favored so that I can avenge the murder of my father and mother today. My son, you are a really good person. If you are useful Going to Ningzao's place, I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate."

Ning Zao bowed deeply again.

Zhe Yu also turned around, "Miss Ning, happy New Year's Eve, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, so take care."

Ning Zao put his hand to his lips and wept with joy.

This is the first New Year's Eve greeting she received today, and she just feels so lucky from such a good person. "The same to you."

Then she disappeared into the snowstorm.

Early in the morning on the first day of the first lunar month, two groups of people left the city lord's mansion.

Shinichi rode Huanglu and disappeared on the official road. His destination was Wanzhou to pick up the green-headed old man to Fengcheng.

Dachonglou is easy to travel, so I will go to Qinzhou to see the situation there, especially the situation of the shopkeeper Yam in Quanjufang Qinzhou, and bring him out safely.

Baicaoshi put on the posture of a medical clinic in the room, studying "The Chronicle of the Witch Lord" while preparing herbal medicines.

She has some more in her space.

Zhe Yu couldn't bear her overwork, so he volunteered to be the translator of "The Book of the Witch Lord". After studying Baicao Poetry for a while, he was responsible for driving her to bed to rest.

"Yu Bao, I'm really not that squeamish. Believe me, I will definitely be able to undo the quilt gu."

Zhe Yu ignored it, and pulled her to the bed, "Go and rest, and leave the rest to me."

Baicao Poetry is like a tumbler, and will bounce back, "But, you can't taste Baicao for me."

When Zhe Yu heard it, his eyebrows flew up, "You still want to go to heaven? Don't you just taste the herbs, what should you do if you eat them? When the master comes, he must have a way."

Baicaoshi broke her fingers and sighed, "Master has never studied witch doctor, and he will be a little white by then."

Her words reminded Zhe Yu, Zhe Yu immediately ran to the desk, picked up the wolf pen, "I wrote a letter to the head of the Yun Poetry Association, asking him to collect a batch of books related to witch doctors, there will always be clues."

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, a team of one hundred people escorted Ning Zao to Yanjing.

Ying Zheli stood on the city wall, looking in the direction of the team.

"Concubine Si, Concubine Si, let's see how long your favor can last? This scene is getting better and better."

Ning Zao, who was in the carriage, lifted the chain and looked back at Fengcheng. Except for the lofty city, she didn't see anything she wanted to see.

She laughed at herself wryly, what are she still hoping for? How could a person like him be moved by your ordinary woman? I really don't know what kind of woman would make him bow down?

In the next few days, Toyosu was very lively.

Because one after another rich merchants came to the city, they all took Dayan's guide and presented fine wine, jewelry and treasures to Ying Zheli.

Anyone who wins Zhe Lilly will not refuse, and they will put everything into their pockets.

After the fifth day, there were also merchants outside the city gate. Merchants, with their convoys, begged to enter the city.

Ying Zheli's eyes turned red when he saw the huge convoy, and ordered to let it go.

When merchants entered the city, they would naturally have to pay tribute. Ying Zheli interrogated him personally, and the merchants answered them one by one. In the end, more than half of the merchant's wealth went into Ying Zheli's pocket, and a small part remained in the merchant's hands.

On the seventh day of the seventh day, Da Chonglou came back.

He was in the caravan and was wounded. Zhe Yu met him in the outer hall.

"What's the matter, the injury is so severe?" Zhe Yu saw that Da Chonglou's abdomen and shoulder were injured, and his arm was dislocated. "Be patient and help you pick it up."

It was too late to say, but soon, Da Chonglou let out a scream and took his arm back. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

"My lord, the situation in Qinzhou...is really weird."

Zhe Yu poured him a cup of hot tea and handed it over, "What happened, tell me slowly."

Dachonglou gulped down a big sip of water, his face still pale, "I was on the way to Qinzhou, and I saw many businessmen running around. I asked them, but they refused to tell. I had to use force. There is a The businessman couldn't bear it, so he told the truth. It turns out that there is a plague in Qinzhou. Anyone who has financial and material resources is fleeing Qinzhou."

When it comes to financial resources, merchants rank first, and Qinzhou is a port city, and there are as many merchants from Yan and Song Dynasties as the hair of a cow.

Once a plague breaks out, businessmen will surely act first.

But wherever the businessman fled, he shouldn't have come to Fengzhou.

Yan Song started the war, and no one knew about it. Businessmen seek profit and avoid it.

How could it go against the general trend?

Unless it's a possibility.

These merchants are Song's conspiracy. They're infected with the plague, and just for some reason, it hasn't manifested yet.

Wealth is the bait, and their real purpose is to spread the plague.
