"Show it if you have evidence. It's business. If you don't have evidence, shut up!" Li Xiao said expressionlessly.
"Then we'll see!" Changsun Wuji snorted coldly.
"Please, this place is now the king's property." Li Xiao said lightly.
Changsun Wuji's face was ashen, and then he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left with others.
After everyone left, Zhao Yuntian closed the door.
Immediately, the shopkeeper moved a chair, Li Xiao sat down, took out the envelope, opened it, and read it.
"Li Xiaoyou, I had a hasty farewell a few days ago. I know you have doubts, so don't worry or be troubled."
"I have no malicious intentions. If you ask all the reasons, I can only answer that you must not reveal the secret."
"In addition, this medicine is called Mafeisan, which was created by the genius doctor Hua Tuo hundreds of years ago. It is not a poison. I believe it can solve your doubts."
"One last word for you, the road is long and long, and it's not easy to do it without a single sword."
There is not much content, but Li Xiao was greatly shocked in his heart.
There are three messages in the letter.
First of all, this Mr. Yuan actually met him, and it happened a few days ago.
Thinking of this, a figure suddenly appeared in Li Xiao's mind.
Outside the villa before, he met an old Taoist priest with a magic stick.
The old Taoist, with a casual remark, predicted a heavy rain.
Even if it was a coincidence, the old Taoist shocked him.
It felt very mysterious to him.
Coincidentally, Mr. Yuan gave him the same feeling.
The two figures gradually overlapped in his mind.
He suddenly had an intuition that the old Taoist priest might be this Mr. Yuan.
This person is too scary, it seems that he can predict the future...
The second piece of information is that Mr. Yuan actually has the long-lost Mafeisan.
He knew that Hua Tuo was the first to discover the technique of anesthesia, that is, Mabosan.
But since Hua Tuo's death, this Mafeisan has been lost, and I didn't expect it to appear here again.
Thinking of this, he unscrewed the bottle cap and sniffed lightly.
Sure enough, the medicinal powder on the soap contained a lot of Mafeisan ingredients.
The Hua Tuo medical classics he inherited actually recorded the formula for making Mafeisan.
Just because the material is too rare, and he has too many things to do, there is no production.
He even forgot that there was this kind of medicine, so he didn't recognize it for a while, thinking it was some kind of nerve poison.
Now the truth came to light, the medicine he had taken in the palace since he was a child was Mafeisan.
The function of Mafeisan is to anesthetize the nerves and has an excellent pain-relieving effect.
But taking it for a long time from a young age will lead to mental decline and become an idiot, which is completely consistent with his previous guess.
In this way, everything is clear.
Apparently Changsun Wuji sent someone to buy Mafeisan from Mr. Yuan, and let him eat it for several years.
And the reason why he did this was probably for his eldest grandson Wugou.
Facts have proved that Changsun Wuji played a big game of chess.
A few years ago, Changsun Wuji would be today.
From the administration of medicine, to the change of Xuanwu Gate, Li Er sat on the throne smoothly, to his sister's eldest grandson Wugou becoming the queen, and then to the fight for the crown prince.
Everything is in Changsun Wuji's calculations.
If it wasn't for Li Xiao's time travel, he would have been born out of nowhere.
I am afraid that today's Li Xiao, like Li Er's other concubine sons, has low intelligence and is hard to achieve.
In this way, the future crown prince will definitely be born among the eldest grandson Wugou's sons, no one can shake him.
"This old fox!"
Li Xiao frowned tightly, with a serious look in his eyes.
A strong sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart.
As the saying goes, those who do not know are fearless.
Now that he knew who his enemy was, he felt more and more like walking on thin ice.
One wrong step, and everything will be lost.
What's more difficult is that these are just his speculations.
He couldn't tell Li Erming, and he couldn't produce any evidence.
It can only be said that Changsun Wuji acted too savagely, leaving no trace.
Shaking his head, Li Xiao dismissed all distracting thoughts and looked at the last line of the letter.
It's not easy to be single-handedly.
The literal meaning is to let him keep his original intention unchanged.
But he watched it repeatedly, but still couldn't understand the deep meaning of this sentence.
Chapter 152: Lawlessness?
Li Xiao couldn't help recalling the scene when he met the old Taoist priest.
The two chatted for a while before leaving.
There doesn't seem to be any useful information.
But why did the old Taoist let him keep his original intention?
After thinking for a long time, Li Xiao couldn't get the answer.
He shook his head and looked at the shopkeeper: "What's your name?"
"Your Highness, the villain Zhang Quan." The shopkeeper said respectfully.
"Zhang Quan, tell me about the Baibi Gang." Li Xiao nodded.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Zhang Quan said slowly: "The Baibi Gang has six branch offices and manages a total of 72 shops. They are located in every corner of the capital, but they are all well hidden."
"Only six shops are 'kouzi', that is, the interface for outsiders to contact my Baibi Gang, and this small medicine shop is one of them."
"There are 830 people in the whole gang, and each branch church operates an underground black market."
"All kinds of rare and exotic objects, or dirty things that cannot be seen, will be entrusted by our black market to be resold by the merchants who come and go."
"It's a middleman who earns the difference?" Li Xiao nodded and continued to ask, "Is it true that Changsun Wuji said that you resell official salt?"
"It's true, but it was a long time ago, and we have quit." Zhang Quan nodded.
"Well, I see."
"Your Highness, do you want to find a time for all the hall masters to visit you?"
"Not urgent."
Li Xiao said thoughtfully: "Changsun Wuji probably also knows about all your interface shops."
"In this way, you will send me an order later to have all the branches of the church close and transfer all the outlet shops, the black market is temporarily closed, everyone hides, and try to minimize going out for the last half month."
"The little one, how can I contact His Highness afterwards?" Zhang Quan asked.
"Lantian Restaurant is also my property, so we can pass on information secretly during the transaction." Li Xiao said lightly.
"Yes!"
With doubts in Zhang Quan's eyes, he continued to ask: "Your Highness, can you tell me the reason for closing the black market, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the hall masters."
"The reason?" The corners of Li Xiao's mouth curled up slightly, "You just need to tell them. As for the reason, they will know right away."
After a pause, Li Xiao continued: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, leave quickly!"
"Old Zhao, let's go back to the restaurant."
……
At the same time, Changsun Wuji, who had just left the herb shop, was about to return home.
But before he walked a few steps, he saw his guards coming in the distance.
"Sir! The big thing is bad!"
The man got off his horse and said in a panic.
"What's the proper way to be reckless? Talk about things slowly!" Changsun Wuji was in a bad mood and scolded with a cold face.
"My lord! The shop of our Tiansheng Commercial Bank was robbed!" The guard said after taking a deep breath.
"Come to report this little thing? You won't catch the thief and send him to prison?"
A trace of boredom flashed across Changsun Wuji's face.
"I can't catch it!" The guard smiled wryly, "The armor those people wear seems to have come from the palace, and all of them are highly skilled in martial arts. Our people... are not opponents."
"What's going on? How much money was robbed?" Changsun Wuji frowned and became serious.
"Dozens of shops, large and small, were robbed, and about 20 taels of silver were lost!"
"what?!"
Changsun Wuji had a ferocious face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Can you see who is so bold?"
"The subordinate has a guess, and I don't know if it should be said or not."
"Say!"
"My lord, these people are very likely to be the bodyguards of His Highness the King of Yue, and their outfits are very similar!"
"Li Xiao!!!"
Changsun Wuji turned his head with endless anger.
At the entrance of the medicine shop in the distance, Li Xiao happened to take someone out.
The two looked at each other.
"stop!"
Changsun Wuji rushed over immediately.
"Let's go!" Seeing this, Li Xiao whispered.
But before he took a few steps, Changsun Wuji led someone to stop Li Xiao in front of him.
"Li Xiao, you did a good job!"
"Do you really think that His Majesty can be lawless if you dote on you?!" Changsun Wuji said through gritted teeth.
"My lord, what does this mean? Why can't I understand?" Li Xiao said innocently.
"Still pretending to be garlic?" Changsun Wuji was full of anger: "I said why did you evacuate all the guards, it turned out that you were going to steal my money."
"Oh, you said this!" Li Xiao suddenly realized, "I need to explain this to you in detail, what is robbery? Your parent Sun Chong owes me 50 taels of silver, and I will ask someone to collect the debt. There is a problem ?"
"Nonsense! When did the dog owe you money?"
"I have the IOU written by him, black and white, and fingerprints, do you want to go to my father to verify the authenticity?" Li Xiao said confidently.
He knew that Changsun Wuji, the father and son, would not admit it, so he blocked all the words.
Or if things get serious, go to Li Er to have a debate.
Anyway, his IOU is real, as long as he asks a professional to check it, it will be fine.
