Chapter 190

After their careful observation, they really found the crux of the problem.

Every time Meng Yuanlang and Wu Lan wanted to make medicine, a yamen servant would kindly come up to help.

For a while, they said that they had worked hard and went to rest, and for a while, they said that they were uncomfortable with the patients, and they just tried to find reasons to distract them.

When they came back, the medicine in the pot had already started to boil.

Once or twice they didn't take it to heart.

After three times, Meng Yuanlang sensed something was wrong, and raised his doubts with Wu Lan.

Because the two of them have been working together for the past few days, their relationship has become much closer.

The other yamen servants and the doctors of some small pharmacies were busy, only they could sit leisurely for a while sometimes.

Once you come and go, you will be familiar with it.

After hearing what he said, Wu Lan secretly hid in the dark and stared at each time before making medicine.

Unexpectedly, they soon found out that the yamen servant who was going to help them every time before secretly hid part of the medicine while they were away.

Wu Lan immediately went out to catch a current one.

"Everyone, come and take a look, this man is stealing medicine!"

Soon the sound attracted many people.

The yamen servant still wanted to quibble, so he shook off Wu Lan's hand all of a sudden.

"Stop spitting blood here, when did I steal the medicine, isn't all the medicine 9 here?"

"I saw with my own eyes what you put in your pocket, don't try to quibble."

The yamen servants and patients who were watching were whispering.

"Now that the medicinal materials are so scarce, he won't really steal the medicine!"

"I guess it will. You can't buy medicine with money. Do you think someone will steal the medicine?"

The yamen servant saw that the matter was revealed.

So I wanted to look for a chance to slip away.

As soon as he slipped out of the crowd, he was stopped by Meng Yuanlang.

The opponent obviously had kung fu, and wanted to run away after punching Meng Yuanlang twice.

It was impossible for Meng Yuanlang to hold onto his leg so tightly that he couldn't move.

Even if the corner of the mouth was bleeding from the beating by that person, he did not let go.

Seeing this, Wu Lan immediately threw the man down and tied his hands behind his back.

"See how you still run."

After she handed over the servants to other people, she went to visit Meng Yuanlang again.

"Are you okay? How about I rub some medicine for you! Your face is broken."

Meng Yuanlang touched his cheek and felt a little pain. He said to Wu Lan embarrassedly: "Then please trouble Miss Wu Lan."

Later, during the personal interrogation by the county magistrate Zhang Jinbao, he found out that Liu Xiancheng asked him to steal the medicine.

Liu Xiancheng argued calmly.

"My lord, I don't know who deliberately arranged this man to frame me. I never let him do such a thing. If something happens to the common people, can I get any benefits?"

Zhang Jinbao felt that Liu Xiancheng was right, he had no reason to do this, after all, they wouldn't have to work so hard when the plague was over.

Ah Li didn't care about their many things. The previous medicine was reduced by half. If the dose is not enough, the efficacy of the medicine will be halved. Now I can only recompose the medicine and personally supervise the boiling medicine.

Finally, the plague that lasted for more than half a month finally subsided, and the sick people all went home after Ah Li made sure.

The city gates of Ye City have also been reopened, but now they are checking people who enter the city more strictly.

After this matter was over, Zhang Jinbao had made a great contribution, and the imperial court gave him a commendation. Just as his term of office was coming up, the emperor directly promoted him to a level, and asked him to go to the next door to become the magistrate.

Of course, Deng Qirui, who was the magistrate, was also promoted to governor.

Ah Li also received a plaque of "little genius doctor" from the emperor not long after, and also rewarded 1000 taels of silver.

This matter almost had nothing to do with her, Zhang Jinbao is very happy, he can praise Ah Li highly in front of the common people in Yecheng.

But when he asked for credit from the emperor, he didn't mention her a word.

If Deng Qirui hadn't known Ah Li, he might have been kept in the dark.

After he knew that Ah Li had cured the plague, the Lin family spontaneously sent the medicinal materials.

I specially sent a memorial to ask the emperor to reward me.

When Zhang Jinbao heard about this when he first took office, he was so frightened that he couldn't fall asleep for several nights, fearing that the emperor would give him his official position because of this matter.

He didn't even expect Ah Li and the others to know Deng Qirui.

Now that Deng Qirui has become the governor, he doesn't dare to be a monster anymore.

Now Ah Li's reputation is well known.

The Lin family also followed suit.

Neighbors in the neighborhood came to get close one after another. In the past, these rich and noble families looked down on the Lin family's farming background, even though everyone in their family is not bad now.

It's different now, there are very few ordinary people who can be rewarded by the emperor.

……

On this day, Lin Changlu and his wife received a letter from Lin Tianyi, which probably said that Chen Huali's parents had come to Fucheng from the capital and wanted to meet them.

When Lin Changlu and Pei thought about Lin Tianyi's marriage, they were worried. There was such a big difference between their families, and they were afraid that the other's parents would look down on their family.

Seeing that they were worried, Ah Li said, "Father, mother, don't worry. Since Sister Chen has taken a fancy to Third Brother, I believe she will convince her parents. Besides, Grandpa Chen is here! But we can't After losing face, hurry up and buy some outfits, which will make a good impression on people."

When Pei Shi heard it, there was some truth.

"Come on, let's go shopping for clothes and jewelry. The whole family will buy them. We can't lose face to the third child when we meet people."

The whole family went to Jinxiu Pavilion in a mighty manner.

The next day, Lin Changlu took Lin Errong and Ah Li to Fucheng together.

Lin Errong drove the carriage.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the city, I saw Lin Darong and Lin Tianyi waiting at the gate of the city.

"Second brother, did you arrive quickly?"

"That is, you don't know that father and mother are very anxious on the road, and they keep urging me to hurry up, the horse's hooves are almost running out of sparks."

Pei lifted the curtain of the car.

"Second brother, don't be poor, aren't we afraid of others waiting for you!"

"Mother, don't worry, let's go see Hua Liming's parents tomorrow, and take a good rest in the store later."

Hearing that he will go to the Chen Mansion tomorrow, Mrs. Pei is also relieved.

"That's fine, it's best to tidy up and meet up when the time comes, let's not stop here, hurry to the city!"

A group of people went to Lin Fuji pastry shop run by Lin Darong and his wife.

There is also a place to live, so there is no need to live in a hotel.

The business in the store is booming, and there is an endless stream of people buying pastries.

Zhang's whole person has also become much more cheerful, and he can greet guests with ease.

When she sent the guests out, she saw Mrs. Pei and the others arriving.

Immediately went up to say hello.

Mrs. Zhang also didn't see Ah Li sometimes, so she reached out and hugged her from the carriage like when she was a child.

"Our carp has grown up, and my sister-in-law can't hold it anymore."

Ah Li didn't feel embarrassed but said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I'm almost an adult, yet you still treat me like a child!"
