Chapter 655 Is this person so kind?
"Thank you very much today, Master Chen. I will thank you again some other day!" Gongyang Ruoyu said to Chen Jingshu who was standing beside him.
"Lord Gongyang, you are too polite. It's just a small favor for me." Chen Jingshu said.
"Thank you for speaking for us in the court several times." Pu An said.
"I'm just telling the truth. You should have more people in the mansion recently. The Dali Temple has recently arrested many people who sneaked into Fengdu. Two of them have confessed that they came for Master Su."
When the three heard this, they stopped and looked at Chen Jingshu.
"Thank you Lord Chen for informing us. It is not convenient to receive news in the mansion. If you have anything, you can send someone to the Imperial Guards or the Phoenix Feather Guards to inform us." Cui Yiyang said.
"Master Chen, do you have any requests for us?" Pu An asked.
"No request, I just want to help Master Su. Also, please pay more attention to Pei's business. Fengdu's noble families are in chaos now. They want to send someone to Master Su's mansion. Another way is to start with you and hold your handle."
"You also know that the Dali Temple is the place where criminal cases are tried nationwide. If someone sues you at this time, the Dali Temple will be the first choice. The Chen family has always been loyal to His Majesty and will not participate in any attempt to win over the noble families."
"I can help you in advance with criminal cases, so if you have any questions, you can ask me for help in secret."
The three of them looked at Chen Jingshu with scrutiny again. How could they not believe this man who was so kind?
"Thank you Lord Chen for the reminder. We will pay attention to it." Gongyang Ruoyu said.
When a few people arrived at the palace gate, they found that a lot of people had gathered not far from the gate. As soon as they appeared, almost all of them wanted to surround them, if it weren't for the imperial guards guarding in front.
"Gong Yang, Pu An, I'm going to get two teams of imperial guards here. You guys wait a moment."
"Yi Yang, no need. Let's use light skills to go back. It's too late to transfer people now." Gongyang Ruoyu looked at the ministers not far behind him.
There are wolves in front and pursuers behind. These people really have no hope of retreating.
"Master Chen, we are leaving first. Please come to my house another day to tell me the details!" After saying this, Cui Yiyang took Pu An and disappeared.
Gongyang Ruoyu nodded to Chen Jingshu and followed immediately.
In this way, the few of them hid here and there and finally returned to the mansion around noon.
"Have you three been robbed?" Yang Qianxun, who was busy in the front yard, asked the three people who fell from the sky.
The three men's clothes and hair were in disarray, and their clothes were even a little dirty. The cuffs of Urayasu's official uniform were torn again.
"Master, the three of us almost couldn't come back!" Gongyang Ruoyu said weakly.
It took me an hour of hard work to get back, otherwise I would have been stuck and I wouldn’t know what to do!
"Thank you for your hard work. Go back and wash up! We have arranged the manpower inside and outside the mansion! Master Mo from the main courtyard is also setting up the formation. See you in the study at the end of the hour."
"Yes, my lord."
The three of them hurried back to their respective courtyards.
In the next few days, they were busy dealing with the families that wanted to send people here.
After the news that the young master of the Mo family and the young master of the Lin family of Linzhou Prefecture were going to enter Su Yueyao's backyard to serve the king spread, a small number of noble families calmed down a little, but most of the noble families felt that serving the king was the right thing to do, and they were still making a fuss.
Because the gate to the mansion was blocked, Gongyang Ruoyu and Pu An simply asked for a few days off and stayed at home to rest. They didn't want to be blocked by those ministers at all.
That day, Lu Yuanyi and Lu Yuanjin were in the house with Su Yueyao.
"My dear wife, you have kept me really busy these days." Lu Yuanjin said while hugging Su Yueyao and leaning against her shoulder.
"Yuanjin, don't tire your wife out." Lu Yuanyi pulled his younger brother away and said.
"Brother, I have been hiding from people these days, delivering medicinal materials, and dealing with people who maliciously framed people in the shop. I just want to be close to my wife!" Lu Yuanjin said pitifully.
Su Yueyao looked at the pitiful Lu Yuanjin and said with some heartache: "Let Yuanyi lean on me! It's not tiring."
"My dear wife, just pamper him!" Lu Yuanyi said as he sat aside.
"What's going on with someone maliciously accusing the shop?"
"My wife mentioned this. A few days ago, someone insisted that the Lu family's shop bought fake medicine and killed someone. The family ate rat poison before taking the medicine and deliberately framed them."
"The only thing that caught them off guard was that the Lu family's medicinal materials were all strictly processed. Toxic medicinal materials had indentations on them, and the packaging was also specially processed, so outsiders couldn't forge them!"
"Speaking of this, a few days ago, I received a business that was urgent. At that time, it was a temporary delivery and I didn't have time to check the herbs again. I thought it was okay, but Gongyang sent someone to say that we must not be careless in business recently. I transferred people overnight to check again."
"Is there any problem?" Su Yueyao asked curiously.
"There is a problem. Some Gelsemium elegans was put into the honeysuckle."
"Isn't the heartbreak grass highly poisonous?" Su Yueyao exclaimed.
It seems that Shennong died after tasting hundreds of herbs and was eaten by this Gelsemium elegans. I just don’t know if the Gelsemium elegans here is the one that Shennong tasted!
"It is highly poisonous! The person behind this wants to destroy the Lu family pharmacy in one fell swoop." Lu Yuanjin said with some fear.
"Then did you find out who made the switch?"
"We have found out that a servant who was delivering medicinal herbs was bribed by a man in black. We are already investigating the man in black, but there are almost no clues and no traces left."
"If they get their hands on these two things, Lu's pharmacy will be ruined, and my brother and I will be implicated!"
"It seems that those noble families have taken action, otherwise they would not be so cruel! They must be anxious now! I have never seen anyone and never chosen a husband." Su Yueyao said with a sigh.
"Don't worry, my lady. We will keep an eye on it. Our people are also investigating behind the scenes. Xingchen has already dealt with many people who acted secretly." Lu Yuanyi said.
"My wife would like to thank Lord Chen, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, this time. When reporting to the police, Lord Chen resisted the pressure and asked the coroner to open the deceased's stomach. They found poison in the deceased's stomach, which further proved that the medicinal materials were fine!" said Lu Yuanjin.
"Shaoqing of Dali Temple? This is not the first time I've heard of this person recently." Su Yueyao said after thinking for a while.
"He has indeed helped a lot recently. I heard from Gong Yang that he reminded us about business matters before. He guessed that these noble families would take action against Yuqi's Pei family. After all, the Pei family is just a merchant."
“But I didn’t expect that the first to take action would be Lu’s Pharmacy!” Lu Yuanyi said.
"He is helping us for free? Hasn't the Chen family always controlled the Dali Temple? Why are they helping us?" Su Yueyao asked.
"Yi Yang and the others asked him before, and he said that he was simply helping his wife and had no other intentions."
"Hehe... I don't quite believe that. You guys go find out what this young Master Chen wants. If we can do it, we'll agree to it." Su Yueyao said.
"Okay wife, we know what to do."
