Chapter 199 Finding Traces



Medical care in ancient times was backward, and there was only one outcome if a child got smallpox: death.

But in later generations, vaccines were already available and almost no one got smallpox.

But she has three children and a younger sister.

She had to find a way to prevent it for them.

She knew the method, so she had to write it down.

In the evening, when she returned to the courtyard, she told Shangguan Ziqi about this.

"Madam, do you have any way to prevent smallpox?" Shangguan Ziqi was surprised after hearing this.

He had never heard that smallpox could be prevented in advance.

"Yes, but the method is a bit disgusting. At the same time, our whole family can take precautions. We will never get smallpox again. Remember this, we will do this in Beijing."

"Okay." Shangguan Ziqi remembered this clearly.

If it is true as Madam said, it would be a great boon to the Great Wei.

On the fourth day, the child was able to play by himself, and except for the scabs that had not fallen off, there were no other problems.

On the fifth day, the Han family beat drums and gongs to thank the miracle doctor, and helped promote Shiritang along the way.

Only then did people truly realize that the doctor at Shiritang was truly a miracle doctor.

This is serious.

Business suddenly soared.

However, the five-day consultation fee of ten taels of silver per person had already been paid, and anyone who wanted to invite him would have to pay one thousand taels of silver, which made those who wanted to invite him regret it.

And during these five days, Yu Yuanzheng only saw that one patient.

The Han family did not just pay ten taels of silver for the consultation fee, but one thousand taels.

It also gave it a lot of publicity.

Yu Yuanzheng's reputation as a miracle doctor was completely confirmed.

After five days, Yu Yuanzheng was no longer seeing patients in the pharmacy, but continued to develop pills. Luo Dayong and his wife used their brains to the utmost these days.

Luo Dayong had attended several private schools and could read, so it was easier to teach him.

In order to better meet the needs of the local people, Yu Yuanzheng tried his best to control costs and lower the price of medicine.

Gradually, the pharmacy got on the right track.

Shopkeeper Luo was arranged to take Jingkai City as the center and radiate to several cities in all directions. When he made enough money, he would open another store in the nearest place.

Whenever there were people seeking medical treatment in the pharmacy, Yu Yuanzheng would go there. She never traveled far, but would go to the city.

Shangguan Ziqi always accompanied her.

In just one month, Yu Yuanzheng had seen more than a dozen patients.

As his reputation spread, wealthy families in nearby counties came with their patients to visit him.

"Madam, if you only charged one thousand taels for consultation in the capital, I think you would have business every day." Shangguan Ziqi looked at his wife with a few silver bills and felt a little amused.

"No, I don't want to. How can I have time to accompany my children? I have money. Anyone who wants to hire me can pay ten thousand taels. One tael per patient is enough for us to eat and spend." Yu Yuanzheng didn't want to be as tired as in her previous life.

Shangguan Ziqi was choked by what he said.

The truth.

He also didn't want his wife to be treated to various banquets all day long.

His Rong Wang Mansion is not short of that little money.

During this period, Shangguan Ziqi not only opened the shop, but also asked the secret guards to keep an eye on the movements from all sides.

Except for Qingfeng and Mingyue, he sent everyone else out.

Several surrounding counties are under surveillance.

He often looked at maps of the Wei Dynasty.

Jingkai City is the best location.

Not far from Canglan.

There are several big mountains here, which are very good for hiding.

Before this, he asked Qingfeng to lead people out of the pass to transport medicinal materials. This move was not only to transport medicinal materials, but also to send a signal to the Canglan thieves.

There is a loophole here.

This is a bait.

The defense of the border has never been relaxed.

The other people who were openly searching never stopped, they were Prince Xu and Prince Jing, while he was in the dark, waiting here.

He wanted to sit back and wait for something to happen.

He waited for almost three months, but still didn't get the news he wanted.

It is now March, and he has received news from King Xu that Canglan Kingdom has already prepared its troops and plans to attack Wei.

If we can't find another iron box, a battle will inevitably break out, and it will be on a large scale.

This time when they came out, there were nearly twenty Shiritangs open.

We are still expanding, so we haven't started to make a profit yet. All the money we earn will be used for continued investment.

A few days ago, Manager He came here to report to him on the progress on his side.

Shangguan Ziqi was very satisfied.

Liu Mingde also cooperated with him very well.

The Fang family has a lot of medicinal herbs, but the workshop in Dan Jingkaicheng cannot consume them all in a short time. The arrival of Manager He just solved this problem.

Half of it was transported away.

The tenth day of March.

The spring thunder came hastily from outside, covering the body with dust, and the horse snorted as it galloped.

He didn't even wash his face before he went to talk to his mother about official chess.

"Master, our people discovered that there are strangers in Linjiang County, a mile away from Jingkai City."

"Are you from Canglan?" Shangguan Ziqi asked immediately.

"There are several groups of people who are not sure whether they are Canglan people. Not all Canglan people can be identified at a glance."

"Well, inform the people who are following them to keep an eye out and don't lose them. Report their direction at any time."

"Yes." Chunlei obeyed the order.

Come and go quickly.

Two days later, Shangguan Ziqi received news from the secret guards that although those people were coming in the direction of Jingkai City, they did not come directly, but went around in the mountains.

Shangguan Ziqi was puzzled. Could it be that so many people were eyeing the iron box?

He couldn't figure it out.

In the afternoon, we received news from the secret guards' carrier pigeons that they were about fifty miles away from Jingkai City.

It is in the Dayin Mountain outside Jingkai City.

Shangguan Ziqi found Yu Yuanzheng.

"Madam, I have to go out for a while. I will leave two secret guards for you. Don't go out. Just stay in the small courtyard until I come back. You should keep your men's clothes and don't wear women's clothes."

Shangguan Ziqi was afraid that if he left, his wife would encounter some irresistible danger.

It’s better to wear men’s clothes.

"Okay, is there any news about the iron box?"

"I can't be sure, but I just spotted a few unusual groups of people. I'll go take a look."

"Then you must be careful." Yu Yuanzheng instructed.

"Um."

Shangguan Ziqi left Zhuiyun and Zhuyue to Yu Yuanzheng, and took all the other secret guards away.

This was the first time they had been apart since they got married, and she didn't know where her husband had gone.

Shangguan Ziqi entered Dayin Mountain with several secret guards.

In order to keep an eye on various places, he had dispersed all the secret guards.

There are only five people around him now.

Everyone got the news and rushed to Dayin Mountain.

They left marks and moved around in the mountains.

I found nothing on the first day. I only encountered some wild animals.

The next day, they found traces of people walking, but no one was seen.

All his secret guards came, more than twenty of them.

"Master, among the group of people under my command who are guarding Linjiang County, all of them are dressed as farmers, pretending to go up the mountain to collect herbs. One of them, dressed as a farmer, carries a backpack. He never takes it off, even when he goes to a restaurant to eat, he never puts it down." Gao Shan reported as soon as he saw Guan Ziqi on the horse.

He had seen more than just this group of people in Linjiang County, there were several waves of people with suspicious whereabouts.

"You mean the iron box could be in that backpack?"

"It's possible. I didn't see it with my own eyes. I'm just guessing."

"Did you find that group of suspicious people in Linjiang County?" Shangguan Ziqi couldn't understand this.

"No, there were three groups of people. And they didn't know each other. They were all on guard against each other. There was a woman in one of the groups."
