Chapter 14 Jifang Pharmacy

Qin Chi took the portrait, opened it, took a look at it, and then put it into his sleeve pocket.

The small portrait of Song Brocade was painted by Qin Chi.

Qin Chi was wary of the person who suddenly appeared next to him, and he drew a small portrait of Song Jin that day and asked his men to investigate.

It can be found out so quickly.

First, Qin Chi has a portrait, and second, Song Jin did not change his name when he came to the Qin family.

Before a girl gets married, her boudoir name is rarely passed on to outsiders. After she gets married, she will take her husband's surname, or just be called by her family name.

The shopkeeper added, "Not long after the Song family got into trouble, some people started buying up the Song family's medicinal materials. I also had someone buy some for backup, and the price was five times higher than the market price."

Qin Chi understood the key as soon as he heard it.

After the fall of the Song family, the medicinal materials on the market became less and less as they were used. This is because some people saw a business opportunity.

It seems that he is not the only one who does not believe that the Song family's medicinal materials are fake.

Over the past hundred years, the Song family has always been guarding its small piece of land, with no intention of expanding. The drug dealers and doctors who cooperate with the Song family every year are all old acquaintances who know each other well.

Qin Chi once sent someone to contact the Song family, hoping to buy a batch of medicinal materials from them. The Song family declined, saying that the medicinal materials had already been ordered and there was no extra quantity. They also suggested that they purchase from the drug dealers cooperating with the Song family.

The words are the same every year.

Later, Qin Chi understood that the Song family would not cooperate with people they were not familiar with.

The Song family’s crime was related to military supplies in the northwest. As far as Qin Chi knew, the Song family’s medicinal materials were rationed every year and could not meet the military needs.

Qin Chi read the survey results.

It was only a day or two of investigation, and there were too many superficial things, but Qin Chi still noticed something unusual.

That night, they searched the house of not only the Song family but also the prisoners were brought to Beijing overnight.

When did the efficiency of government affairs become so high?

"Sir, there is another interesting thing that happened. Would you like to hear about it? It has something to do with the Song family." The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

Qin Chi said: "Speak!"

"The day after the young master returned to Qinjiagou, someone came to Lao Huo and asked for the whereabouts of the Song family. The reward was five thousand taels. Lao Huo saw that the young master was in Qinjiagou and he would not be able to use him for a while. He wanted to make a fortune and took the job privately, but failed..."

The team that was to escort the Song family members back to their home did not head north to the capital, but instead headed south overnight.

The person went missing in Tunxi.

Old Huo was feeling depressed because he hadn't completed a private job.

Qin Chi asked: "Who came to Lao Huo?"

"They are from Jifang Pharmacy. As far as I know, they are the dowry of Miss Song's mother."

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, Qin Chi immediately thought that Song Jin might know something.

The Song family’s crimes were most likely framed.

Qin Chi ordered again: "Send a message to the northwest to find out who made a mistake in supplying medicinal materials to the Northwest Army and framed the Song family. Then let Lao Huo continue to investigate the whereabouts of the Song family."

After a pause, Qin Chi gave another order, "Arrange someone to check the Huizhou prefect. I want to know who he met before the Song family got into trouble."

"Yes, sir."

The shopkeeper took the order and left.

…

The other side.

Song Jin came to Jifang Pharmacy on East Street.

There are no doctors at Jifang Pharmacy. It only sells ready-made medicines or helps people get medicines.

People often come here with prescriptions to get medicine, which is two or three cents cheaper than other pharmacies.

Rich people don't care about a few cents.

But poor people mind.

In order not to offend colleagues in the same industry, the owner of the drug store would explain to the people who bought the medicine that the few cents less was saved by not hiring a doctor.

With this saying.

It is difficult for other pharmacies to say that Jifang is disrupting the drug price market.

What’s more, since Jifang Pharmacy doesn’t have any doctors on duty, it can’t steal their business.

Song Jin stepped into the pharmacy.

There were no customers in the shop.

It was just a female shopkeeper in her early forties who was checking accounts with an abacus. When she saw someone coming in, she looked up and was stunned.

Song Jin is wearing a veil.

Although she couldn't see the face clearly, the female shopkeeper felt that the man's figure and temperament were familiar.

"Auntie Ling." Song Jin spoke.

The female shopkeeper stood up suddenly, "Young...young lady?"

He quickly walked around the counter and closed the shop door.

Song Jin lifted the veil.

The female shopkeeper Jin Ling came forward with tears in her eyes and hugged Song Jin. "Young lady, I heard that something happened in the Song residence. I was almost scared to death. Fortunately, you sent a letter of safety. But why didn't you let us go and find out?"

"The Song family's enemies are not simple, no matter how many people go, it will be in vain."

Song Jin asked Old Man Qin to deliver the letter.

In his previous life, Song Jin was immersed in sadness and did not contact Jin Ling and the others in time.

They went to the government office to inquire, but were targeted instead, and one died and another was seriously injured.

The one seriously injured was Yinlong's husband.

But the person who died was Jin Ling's only son.

Jin Ling and Yin Long were the maids of Song Jin's mother and grew up with her.

When Song Jin was one year old, his mother died of illness.

The two of them took good care of Song Jin.

When Song Jin was eleven years old, he followed his father to the mountain people's homes to collect medicinal herbs. After returning home, he suddenly had an idea to use his private money to open a medicine shop and collect a lot of medicinal herbs to give to his father.

When opening a shop, one always needs trustworthy people to help, and Song Jin thought of Jin Ling and Yin Long.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The two men served Song's mother for half their lives and took care of Song Jin until she grew old. Song Jin asked her father for mercy and returned their indentures, but her father returned the indentures of their husbands and children together.

He didn't make any requests, just asked them to work hard for Song Jin in the future.

Song Kuan did this to teach his daughter a lesson.

Teach her that when she shows kindness to others, she must do it from the bottom of their hearts.

Jinling and Yinlong are not very obsessed with restoring their own good citizenship, but they care more about their children's future.

The outside world is not that easy to deal with.

The two families had no roots, and it was not easy for them to make a living in Huizhou Prefecture.

When Song Jin finds them again and asks them to help look after the shop, they will definitely be grateful and do their best.

Of course, Song Kuan dared to do this because he was not afraid of betrayal from the two families.

My daughter is still young, and having a life that is too stable is not always a good thing. Only children who have experienced setbacks will grow up quickly.

Song Jin used his own savings to open a medicine shop, and copied the medical books and key points of growing medicinal herbs from his family's collection to Jin Ling and Yin Long.

She County, as the prefecture-level county of Huizhou, is the political, economic and cultural center of Huizhou and is where the Song family has been operating for a hundred years.

Song Jin naturally would not take away his own business, and finally chose the smallest Yi County to open a shop.

Because Song Jin was young, Jin Ling signed the shop rental contract. Therefore, when the house was searched, Song Jin's small medicine shop escaped the net.

The original intention of Jifang Pharmacy was not to sell medicine, but to collect herbs and develop herbal farmers.

When they encounter people who have no money to buy medicine or see a doctor, Jin Ling and others will teach them to identify herbs and collect them for money. Only those who have observed good character will be recruited as herbal farmers and taught to grow herbs.

The seeds were provided by the pharmacy.

A contract will be signed before planting, and the harvest can only be sold to Jifang Pharmacy, which will purchase it at the normal market price.

The shop has been in business for six years.

I lost a lot of money in the first year.

But the losses are getting smaller year by year, and last year we started to make a profit.

Song Jin knew that the medicine shop would make more money every year. The biggest reason was that Jifang Medicine Shop had cultivated a group of herbal farmers over the years.

There will be a stable source of medicinal materials in the future.

Song Jin, who had just made achievements, wanted to show off to his father this year, but unexpectedly, something happened to the Song family! After crying, Jin Ling asked, "Young lady, where are you hiding now? Do you want to live in our house first?"

"I'm married..."

Song Jin came here to tell Jin Ling and the others that she lived in Qinjiagou and had married and concealed her identity. "Aunt Ling, please tell Aunt Long that I am safe now. Also, the person I asked you to help contact..."

"That person wrote back, saying that Master Song and his men were missing in Tunxi."

"really……"

I never went to Beijing in my previous life!

I didn’t expect it to go south?!

Tunxi?

Tunxi Grand Wharf! Suddenly, sadness surged into Song Jin's heart like a tide.

In my previous life, I spent more than ten years without finding even a single clue.

It turns out that the key is here.

Huizhou Prefecture had a prosperous trade, and Tunxi Wharf was busy with cargo transportation, with numerous ships coming and going every day. To secretly transport a group of people was as easy as a stream flowing into the sea.

No trace can be found.

Will I be able to find my family in this life?

Song Jin could only pray that it wouldn't take long and there would be some clues. "Auntie Ling, help me contact that person. I want to talk to him in person."

Jin Ling wanted to persuade Song Jin.

Then he thought about his own identity and could only nod in agreement.
