Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 54
Chapter 054 The Medicine Is Not for Sale
Cha Jinzhi gently tapped his head and shook his head helplessly. “What kind of medicine is it? I drank some wine last night and forgot what he said.”
Bai Junzhuo was speechless. Would Lord Cha dare not be more reliable?
“However, I still remember the herbs he mentioned,” Cha Jinzhi recalled. “There seems to be some kind of red stone resin, white stone herb, or something like that.”
Baishi Ying warmed the lungs and kidneys and relieved the mind. It was mostly used to strengthen the yang of men. Both Baishi Ying and Chishi Zhi were herbal medicines for sexual fever. It would be a waste if they were used together.
He had never used these two medicines together before. Could it be that Shen Ze had discovered a new prescription?
If that was the case, he would definitely suffer a huge loss if he grasped the business opportunity. Moreover, she had promised Yin Xun that she would earn 100,000 taels in a month.
“Do you remember anything other than Chi Shi Zhi and Baishi Ying?” Bai Junzhuo asked.
Cha Jinzhi thought about it carefully and shook his head. “I don’t remember anything else.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and smiled at him, “Since that’s the case, then thank you, Lord Cha. I’ll take my leave first.”
“Miss Bai,” Cha Jinzhi hurriedly stood up and said embarrassedly, “it’s getting late. Why don’t you stay for dinner before leaving?”
Bai Junzhuo smiled and refused, “Thank you for your kindness, Master Cha. However, there are still important matters to attend to today, so it’s inconvenient. Let’s take another day.”
Seeing her say this, Cha Jinzhi could only agree. When Bai Junzhuo turned around and was about to leave, he stopped her and asked, “May I know when Miss Bai is free?”
Bai Junzhuo was slightly speechless. The word “another day” was naturally polite. Did he really not understand or was he just pretending to be stupid? He still had to ask.
Bai Junzhuo could only reply ambiguously, “If you have time, you will pay him a visit.”
“Miss Bai” Cha Jinzhi approached her, but he politely stopped five steps away.
“Didn’t Lord Cha want to investigate Lord Ma’s matter recently?” Bai Junzhuo hurriedly said before him, “Lord Cha, please handle the case in peace. Don’t be distracted by unimportant matters.”
Cha Jinzhi was stunned for a moment before revealing a pleasant surprise. Bai Junzhuo was righteous and treated his life as a small matter, but he urged him to concentrate on the case and think of the people of Luoyang City.
Isn’t this the kind of knowledgeable and knowledgeable woman he wants to marry?
Bai Junzhuo did not know why Cha Jinzhi suddenly frowned and felt a chill run down his spine. He hurriedly said, “Maid, please leave.” He turned around and walked out.
Cha Jinzhi was greatly inspired and walked towards the study.
It was already very late when he left the secretariat’s mansion, and the sky was filled with stars and a bright moon.
Bai Junzhuo had been thinking about Shen Ze all the way and unknowingly walked back to the Medicine Hall. He happened to welcome Liu Shun and the people from the Medicine Hall of the Shen Family out of the hall.
When Liu Shun saw her, he stepped forward and said, “Third Miss, is there anything you want to do in the Medicine Hall now?”
Bai Junzhuo looked at the person beside him and asked, “Who is this?”
“Miss Bai, this is Shen Ji Medicine Hall’s branch manager, Wang Wenzhong. I have come to discuss the matter with Shopkeeper Liu.” The man replied.
“So it’s Shopkeeper Wang. Nice to meet you.” Bai Junzhuo blessed her slightly and turned to Liu Shundao, “Uncle Liu, it’s getting late. You can go home first. I’ll handle the red stone resin myself.”
Liu Shun was stunned. Didn’t he agree to let him handle this matter this afternoon?
Bai Junzhuo only smiled at him and did not explain further. Liu Shun did not ask further, so he told Bai Junzhuo where the agreed location was and brought Wang Wenzhong over.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the two of them sat opposite each other without too much courtesy. Wang Wenzhong said, “Miss Bai, the price is the same as your usual price. It is 5,000 jin. If there is no objection, I will send someone to deliver the money to the Bai Clan Medicine Hall tomorrow.”
Bai Junzhuo smiled and poured him a cup of tea. He probed and asked, “May I know why Boss Shen bought so much red stone grease?”
Although Wang Wenzhong was only the shopkeeper of the branch hall, he was obviously harder to deal with than the second head of the Shen Clan.
He also smiled hypocritically and said to Bai Junzhuo, “Miss Bai, we are all businessmen. If you ship the goods, I can pay for it. Why ask so many questions?”
“I’m just curious.”
Wang Wenzhong smiled and said, “No comment.”
Bai Junzhuo narrowed his eyes. “What if I don’t sell it?”
Wang Wenzhong was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed loudly, “Miss Bai, stop laughing. Shopkeeper Liu said in the afternoon that it was for sale.”
“Oh?” Bai Junzhuo looked surprised. “Did he say he wanted to sell it? I don’t know. But Shopkeeper Wang should be more clear. After all, I’m the head of the Medicine Hall. I’ll sell it if I say I don’t want to. I won’t sell if I say I don’t want to.”
“You!” Wang Wenzhong was very angry, but he instantly calmed down. He still smiled and asked, “Miss Bai, are you sure you don’t want to sell it?”
Bai Junzhuo nodded, “Really.”
Wang Wenzhong suddenly stood up and said to her, “I suddenly feel anxious. Please wait a moment, Miss Bai. When I come back, we will continue to discuss.”
Bai Junzhuo didn’t do what he wanted and nodded in agreement.
In about an incense stick of time, everyone in the tavern had left one after another. Bai Jun waved the teacup in his hand calmly.
Suddenly, Shen Qing jumped in from the window and said to Bai Junzhuo, “Miss Bai, hurry up and follow me. That person called a large group of people over, as if it would be bad for you.”
Bai Junzhuo looked at him calmly, “I know.”
Shen Qing seemed to be puzzled.
“Do you see that?” Bai Junzhuo looked up at the waiter who was busy chasing away the guests. “As soon as Manager Wang left, the waiter started chasing away the people. I guessed that Manager Wang greeted the waiter, and that he was going to deal with me next.”
“Then why don’t you come with me?”
“They won’t do anything to me for the time being. After all, they want Chi Shizhi from the Bai Clan’s Medicine Hall, not me.” Bai Junzhuo glanced at Shen Qing indifferently. “Hide quickly. You can act according to the situation later and protect me secretly.”
Shen Qing thought for a moment, nodded and jumped out of the window.
Just as he left, four or five men surrounded Bai Junzhuo’s table and said to her, “Miss Bai, my lord invites you to sit in the mansion for a while. May I ask if it is convenient for Miss Bai?”
Bai Junzhuo put down the cup in his hand and stood up. “Since that’s the case, I can’t refute Boss Shen’s face. Let’s go.”
A few people surrounded Bai Junzhuo and took her out.

On this side, Lu Kang brought Yin Xun into a luxuriously decorated attic. Inside, smoke shrouded the air, fragrance assaulting the nostrils, and the women who passed by were naked and heavily makeup.
As soon as they stepped into the room, a woman in her thirties greeted them, “Oh, you two are new. This is your first time here, isn’t it?”
Yin Xun ignored her and frowned as he looked at Lu Kang, “What kind of place is this?”
Lu Kang smiled and said, “As Master saw, this is a brothel.”
“Why did you bring me here?” Yin Xun’s tone became even colder and sharper.
“This place is called the Peony Pavilion. It is the largest and best brothel in Luoyang City. The girls inside are all beautiful.”
The woman next to them was the madam. Hearing Lu Kang’s words, she immediately smiled and said, “This master is right. Our Peony Pavilion’s young ladies are no worse than those noble ladies. Since this is the first time the two masters have come, this servant will choose two to serve the two masters. How about it?”
Yin Xun’s face was filled with impatience, “Lu Kang, are you really feeling uncomfortable?”
The madam rolled her eyes between the two of them and before Lu Kang could say anything, she said, “Oh, so you two are … Understood, understood, Fen Zhi, come and take the two of you to the second floor.”
Then, a boy and a girl walked over slowly.
Seeing Yin Xun’s dark expression, Lu Kang knew that his master would explode if this continued. He hurriedly blocked the young herd and said to Yin Xun, “Master, follow me.”
Although Lu Kang wasn’t serious, he didn’t have the courage to provoke Yin Xun. They left the waiter and went straight to the second floor. In the corridor, they saw two men hugging each other, their clothes untidy.
Lu Kang pointed at one of them and asked, “Master, do you know who that is?”
Yin Xun shot a cold glance, “Who is it?”
“General Chen Guan returned to his hometown and lived in Luoyang. This is his grandson.” As Lu Kang explained, he pointed at a man on the stairs with his breasts exposed, “That’s Lord Tutor’s nephew.”
He led Yin Xun to the third floor and pointed at a dark, dazed man with a lustful expression. “That’s Lord Joining the Army’s nephew,” he said.
Yin Xun’s face was filled with dissatisfaction. “You’re talking about officials that Royal Brother values very much. I didn’t expect their descendants to be so lascivious.”
‘”Indeed,” Lu Kang nodded. “These are all young masters of aristocratic families. They are extremely wealthy and spoiled. It is reasonable for them to lose their standards. Master, do you find anything in common with them on the surface?”
Yin Xun thought about it carefully and said, “His face is flushed red, his expression is absent-minded, his clothes are minimal, and his aura is disordered.”
Lu Kang nodded. “This subordinate was investigating Lord Ma. He discovered that not only was this brothel like this, but Luoyang’s casino was also filled with the figures of these people. They all had the same symptoms.”
Yin Xun leaned against the railing and pondered for a moment before suddenly asking, “Cold Food Powder?”
“That’s right.” Lu Kang’s expression was serious as he nodded. “I didn’t expect that the Cold Food Powder, which His Majesty strictly forbade, would spring up in Luoyang like a bamboo shoot after a rain.”
“Who is secretly trading Hanshi Powder?”
“This subordinate has investigated, but only found out that the Cold Food Powder was given by the General Clan and the General Clan was given by the Tai Fu Clan. The undercurrents in this invisible circle are surging. After investigating for more than half a month, I wonder who is the real source of the poison behind the scenes.”
Yin Xun frowned. “Send more people to investigate this matter thoroughly. Find out who made the poison and annihilate the nine races!”
Lu Kang closed the fan with a “pa” sound and said, “This subordinate accepts the order.”

Bai Junzhuo had already left the restaurant and was brought in through the back door of the Shen mansion. Without another word, he tied himself up and threw him into the wooden room. Shopkeeper Wang walked over and said, “Miss Bai, I’ve wronged you for staying the night. You must think about whether this red stone grease is for sale or not.”
Only then did Bai Junzhuo pretend to be scared and said to him, “What do you want to do? I’m a serious businessman. Be careful that I tell the police!”
Shopkeeper Wang sneered, “Prosecutor?”
Bai Junzhuo said angrily, “That’s right, hurry up and let me go!”
“Hahaha,” Shopkeeper Wang laughed loudly. “If you want to sue an official, who knows …”
