Chapter 1147 Visit
The person from the Ministry of Justice glanced at the people in the room, smiled, and left with Mr. Zhuang.
Old Madam Liu watched them leave, then immediately looked at the prescription in her hand. Seeing that the last two medicine names were "Plantago-aquatica" and "Angui", she breathed a sigh of relief, slumped down in the chair behind her, and handed the prescription weakly to the two people on the other side.
The two men immediately took the prescription and looked at it. "What does this mean? Is there an accident, or are we safe for now?"
Bai Erlang and Yin Huo were also waiting anxiously on the side.
Madam Liu said, "It's safe for now. Look at the last two names of the medicine in the prescription."
The two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still worried. "Why are there so many herbs listed here? They are all for Xiang Chao. Doesn't that mean he's seriously injured?"
Madam Liu said, "Forty strokes of the cane is half less than we expected. It should be fine. Manbao is a very good doctor."
Madam Liu looked at the Sixth Master, bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your help this time, Sixth Master."
He shook his head and said to Sixth Master: "As long as I can redress my grievances and avenge my wrongs, besides, the old lady's grandson is also among them. I don't deserve your thanks."
The young man beside him said, "I wonder what happened to the Second Young Master. Can you rescue him?"
Bai Erlang immediately said, "Daji said that Lord Wei has surrounded the palace with his men. I think as long as the person is still alive, we should be able to find him. I just don't know if he will give him to us after he finds him."
Madam Liu thought for a moment and shook her head, saying, "Even Shanbao and Manbao haven't been released yet. Second Young Master Xiang is implicated in the assassination, so he won't be released either. I'm afraid he'll be sent to jail, too."
"The Second Young Master has been tortured, I'm afraid his body..."
Madam Liu thought for a moment and said, "With Manbao in the prison, it's like having a doctor, but there's not enough medicine. Erlang, take the prescription to the pharmacy and get the medicine quickly. Get more of each dose. Then go to Manbao's room and look for those medicine jars that can be used to treat injuries and bring them to her..."
Apart from Bai Shan, Bai Erlang was the most familiar with Manbao's things. He quickly responded, took the medicine and ran out.
Yin or went with him to get medicine.
The two of them were rummaging through the storeroom with the prescription. Seeing that Yin Huo was even more skilled than him, Bai Erlang asked curiously, "How come you're so familiar with it?"
Yin Huo smiled and said, "You'll know after taking more medicine. Besides, I've also read the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine and the Collection of Herbs. Did you learn this from Man Bao?"
Bai Erlang said disdainfully while picking up the herbs: "I won't learn it. Only Bai Shan would be interested in this. I bought too many herbs at home and they couldn't sort them out, so they forced me to help. That's why I learned this."
He placed the weighed herbs on a large piece of paper and wrapped it up with barely deft movements. He sighed, "I don't know if they have anything to eat or drink in prison right now. The emperor doesn't keep his word. I don't know when he'll release them."
Yin Huo whispered, "Don't say such things."
"I know, but I haven't told anyone." Bai Erlang wrapped up all the herbs and put them into a large backpack. He whispered, "Let's put some snacks in there later. It's almost dark now. Everyone's been so frightened all day, they definitely haven't eaten anything."
Yin Huo hesitated and said, "Old Madam Liu should be able to prepare it, right?"
Old Madam Liu not only prepared snacks, she also prepared quilts, towels, handkerchiefs and other items, and of course, a lot of food as well.
In order to prevent the Heavenly Prison from not letting anything in, she also divided the things into several grades, heavy first and light later. She sent in the things that Manbao and the others needed most first, and if they really couldn't get anything in, she would use money to smuggle them in.
For this purpose, she also prepared two small boxes of silver ingots for Daji. One box was filled with silver ingots of five taels each, and the other was filled with small silver ingots of one tael each.
Not to mention Bai Erlang and Yin Huo, even the two people from the Xiang family were stunned.
Looking at Sixth Master, who had been living in a tight spot, he once again sighed in his heart that they had made the right alliance this time.
The things were delivered by Daji, Liu Gui and Xiang Chang. As soon as they arrived at the prison, Liu Gui threw money all the way with a forced smile on his face. Both sleeves were heavy with a lot of silver, one of which was one tael and the other was five taels. He gave one tael to the clerks on duty and five taels to the officials with high positions.
Of course, when meeting an official like the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, one cannot give money. Liu Gui bowed deeply and flattered him as if it were free, then he and Daji nervously delivered the things to the Sky Prison.
Xiang Chao had already woken up. He was still lying on the wooden board with many needles in his back. It was very painful, but he felt very comfortable.
He said, "The whole court is full of civil and military officials. The King of Yizhou can no longer hide this matter, right?"
Bai Shan and Man Bao both nodded affirmatively, "It's definitely impossible to hide it."
Xiang Chao breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little sleepy again. Just then, Daji and the others came to deliver something.
The Ministry of Justice would carefully inspect all the things sent in. When the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice saw that they had sent in so many things, he simply checked them at the door of the cell.
First, the quilts were shaken and touched, and only after confirming that there was nothing contraband were they handed over to Bai Shan and Man Bao in the prison.
The two of them carried the quilt to the kang against the wall and spread it directly on it.
Then came the clothes that were brought in. The Minister of Justice frowned and asked, "Are you planning to change clothes in prison?"
Bai Shan and Man Bao took a look at the size of the clothes, shook their heads, and then pointed at Xiang Chao who was lying on the wooden board.
The Minister of Justice looked down at Xiang Chao, then looked at the clothes in his hand and handed them to them.
Then came the medicinal herbs, various bottles and jars, and clean linen. When Manbao saw him holding the linen, he immediately explained, "It's for bandaging wounds."
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice waved his hand and approved everything.
After everything was passed, the Minister of Justice sent someone to bring them the pot and stove for boiling medicine, "You can boil the medicine yourself."
He glanced at Daji and Xiangchang, who had been standing silently, then looked away and said, "You only have half a quarter of an hour."
Liu Gui bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.
Everyone had evacuated, but the Minister of Justice stood not far away, his gaze still vaguely fixed on this side.
But that's enough.
Xiang Chang immediately rushed to Xiang Chao, who was lying on the ground, and asked in a low voice, "Fifth brother, how are you?"
Xiang Chao shook his head and said, "It's okay, only forty strokes. I'll be fine after lying down for a few days. It's much better than the eighty strokes we thought."
Xiang Chao asked, "Did you have anyone keeping an eye on the outside of the palace? Did you rescue the Second Young Master?"
"There's no news yet. Sixth Master and Old Madam Liu both said that even if he's rescued, the Second Young Master will most likely be sent to the Sky Prison."
Xiang Chao said, "No matter where it is, it's better than being in the dungeon of the palace."
Daji also rushed to Bai Shan and Man Bao immediately and asked in a low voice: "Master, Miss Man, are you okay?"
They both shook their heads.
Daji looked them up and down, then looked at Manbao's face, "Miss Man's face?"
The New Year is coming soon. Everyone should pay attention to their health, take active measures to prevent the epidemic, wear a mask when going out, and supplement some vitamin C at home. In the new year, I hope that the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe and healthy.
