Zhang Qishan and Xie Jiu took advantage of the time when Second Master was in the pear garden to visit the servant girl with gifts. At the same time, Wenshan was also visiting the Shen family.
The Shen family was a huge medicinal herb merchant, so they were definitely well-informed about medicinal herbs.
The head of the Shen family, Shen Tong, received Wenshan. After discussing the cooperation policy between them, Wenshan changed the topic to rarity.
"Mr. Shen, do you have any news about the rare herbs that are thousands of years old?”After chatting for a while, Wenshan went straight to the point.
"Oh, Wenshan, why do you want a thousand-year-old treasure? Is there a patient who needs such a strong tonic?”Shen Tong asked in surprise. With Wenshan's profound medical skills, it still took a thousand years to treat a disease. It seemed that this illness was not small.
"That's true. I can't tell you the details.”Wenshan nodded and said.
"That's strange. I'm not afraid that Wenshan will know. In the past half a month, people have been coming to me to inquire about rare information. You came here half a month ago. The day before yesterday, the Second Master of the Red Mansion and the Ninth Master of the Jieyu House came to inquire about you. Today, you came again.”Shen Tong said.
Wenshan was not surprised. After all, everyone knew the Shen family's control over medicinal herbs.
"Is there any rare news?"
"Yes, there will be an auction at the New Moon Hotel in Beiping in four days. The Millennium Dragon's Blood and the Millennium Deer Living Grass will be among the auction items, but I have already informed the three companies. They have a big family business. Don't tell me you want to snatch it from them? Wenshan, if you really need rare items, the Shen family also has them. My Shen family has been collecting rare herbs since half a month ago. We don't have any thousand-year-old ones, but we have received three stalks that are more than 500 years old. I wonder if Wenshan is interested?”Shen Tong was worthy of being a great talent in business, to be able to know what others wanted from a casual conversation.
"Haha, Mr. Shen is really successful. I am indeed very interested in rare items.”Wenshan shook his head and laughed.
He had also gotten some information, but he did not expect to get an unexpected harvest. After leaving the Shen family, Wenshan had three more rare Chinese medicines.
A 600-year-old wild Kirin Armored Tortoise that contained 90 cubic meters of energy. It was well-preserved and its body had been processed through a special process. It should have died in the past two years, which was very rare.
Seven-hundred-year-old fleeceflower root, 100 cubic meters of energy.
700-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus, 100 cubic meters of energy.
For the sake of these three rare ingredients, he had spent all the 1000 taels of gold that Wenshan had accumulated over the past few years. Unfortunately, none of them were over a thousand years old, and they could not increase his lifespan. However, they could be refined into some pills that could consolidate his foundation or let the natal chart absorb them as energy.
"What a profiteer." Wenshan turned around and glanced at the Shen residence's main door before leaving with a sentence.
Early the next morning, the butler of the Red Mansion came to invite Wenshan to make a house call. After packing his things, Wenshan instructed Tan Feiyan and the others to look after the house. Now that the situation had begun to turn chaotic, they could not relax their defenses.
"Yesterday at the noodle restaurant, I already found out if Madam used some painkiller. So it was morphine.”After Wenshan checked the pulse of the servant girl lying on the bed, he saw the Western medicine injection device used by the Second Madam on the table. He picked it up and smelled it. He knew that it was morphine.
"This is the medicine that my disciple, Chen Pi, invited a Western doctor to prescribe.”Er Yue Hong said.
At this moment, the butler brought another person over. It was Zhang Qishan.
"Wenshan is here too?" When Zhang Qishan saw Wenshan, he casually asked about the Second Mistress's illness.
The three of them moved to the side hall and sat down before discussing.
"Wenshan, how is Second Madam?”Zhang Qishan's face still maintained that unsmiling expression that had not changed for ten thousand years.
"She's a little more exhausted than before, but it's good that she doesn't feel so much pain after injecting that foreign medicine. As long as the dosage isn't too much and she's not addicted, she'll be fine.”Wenshan looked at Zhang Qishan's face that wanted to hit him but had to endure it and answered him.
"Right, Second Master, I have two things to do this time. Guess.”Zhang Qishan nodded and shifted his attention to Er Yuehong.
Er Yuehong looked at Zhang Qishan and didn't say anything. His eyes were filled with doubt. What else did Zhang Qishan want to talk to him about besides the mine?
Zhang Qishan leaned forward excitedly."Heh, you think I'm here because of the mine?”
"Isn't that so?" asked Er Yue Hong in puzzlement.”
Zhang Qishan shook his head and said,"Do you know what kind of medicine Madam just injected?" That was morphine. On the surface, morphine had a painkiller effect, but in fact, it had no effect on the disease. It was extremely addictive. Once one became addicted, the consequences would be unimaginable. I think we must stop Madam from injecting this drug again. Also, morphine is a controlled drug extracted from opiates. I need to ask Chen Pi about illegal drug trafficking. Chenpi is your disciple after all, so I wanted to tell you in advance.”
Er Yue Hong's face turned furious as she slammed the table.""Even if you don't ask him, I have to ask him what he wants.”
Zhang Qishan said,"There is only one type of people in Changsha who have this medicine, and that is the Japanese." In order to prevent him from being used by someone with ill intentions, he had to find out the exact source of this medicine.”
Er Yue Hong was silent for a while before saying,"Chenpi is filial after all. He ran around for his master's wife's illness." Actually, he is not a bad person, but he is easily instigated when he is young. Please don't make things too difficult for him.”
"Don't worry about that. I just want to know the source of the medicine. I won't make things difficult for him.”Zhang Qishan promised and continued," The second thing is about the Deer Living Grass. Previously, I heard that the Godly Doctor Hua Qiandao said that this Deer Living Grass can cure Second Madam's illness, so I asked around and got some news."”
Er Yuehong nodded." I also got some information. It's from the New Moon Hotel in Beiping. I'm going to the New Moon Hotel to get it back."”
"Second Master, this New Moon Hotel is very powerful in Beiping. It's difficult for you to go alone. Moreover, there are many rules there.”Wenshan interrupted at this moment.
"Yes, Wenshan is right. We need to think about it carefully.”Zhang Qishan continued.
"Yes, I was so anxious that I forgot."”
Seeing that they were silent, Wenshan asked,""Second Master, how's the investigation of Second Madam's poisoning going?”
"What? Madam was poisoned? What's going on?”Zhang Qishan was very surprised when he heard that.
"It was found in Second Madam's blood. She is not only sick, but also poisoned by the extreme Yin poison. Moreover, she does not even know that she has been poisoned because this extreme Yin poison is too strange.”Wenshan answered Zhang Qishan.
"Second Master, what did you find?" Zhang Qishan raised his head and asked February Red.
"We haven't found anything yet. There's nothing wrong with the people at home.”Er Yue Hong shook her head.
"Second Master, I will definitely help you find the murderer. It's just that I don't know if this conspiracy is aimed at you or the Second Madam. This matter needs to be handled with caution. The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light.”Zhang Qishan had a gloomy expression.
"This matter is not urgent. With me around, it can be controlled for the time being. I'll go back and refine some pills for Second Madam at night. Second Master, please rest assured.”Wenshan said to the depressed Er Yuehong, then turned to ask Zhang Qishan,""Lord Zeng, did you get your information from Chen Tong?”
"Yes, you know that too." Zhang Qishan asked.
"You all know that I've been to Third Master's house before, right? His leg needs a rare herb like Deer Living Grass to treat. I think you should bring him along to discuss it.”Wenshan told him what half of Li's leg needed.
Zhang Qishan frowned after hearing Wenshan's words, and Er Yuehong's face also darkened.
When Wenshan saw it, he asked," Second Master, are you worried that the Deer Living Grass will be snatched by Third Master? Don't worry about that. If the Deer Living Grass is really rare, it won't be too small. Besides, with me around, my medicine won't be effective only if it's used in large quantities."”
After hearing this, Er Yuehong's expression turned better and she heaved a sigh of relief.
"However, if you hold an auction at a place like the New Moon Hotel in Beiping, and it's a rare treasure that has been around for thousands of years, there will definitely be many competitors. I think that you and Third Master are both members of the Nine Gates after all. We can work together and bring the rare treasure back to Changsha.”Wenshan voiced his thoughts.
"I think Wenshan is right. I'll invite Third Master to discuss it together. Wenshan will also come.”Zhang Qishan thought for a moment and felt that it was indeed the best way as Wenshan said.
