Chapter 345 Decoction
Shen Hao left the small restaurant and greeted the guards to teleport the magic circle back to Fengsun City. And in the corner behind him, where he didn't realize it, a thin middle-aged man in a white shirt has been watching him. After waving his hand, two ordinary passers-by guys quickly chased after the teleportation circle.
Half an hour later, the middle-aged man in white shirt walked through the alley to the back door of a fortified building. After flashing a red waist card with taotie pattern, he was able to enter.
After walking through the secret passage, the man finally stood quietly at the door of a quiet room.
After waiting for about half a stick of incense, a voice sounded from the quiet room: "Come in."
"Yes, my lord."
Pushing open the door and entering, the quiet room was empty except for a lamp, and there was a person sitting cross-legged on the ground, it was Pang Ban, Commander of Xuan Qingwei.
After the middle-aged man in white shirt came in, he knelt on the ground with his head on the ground, and didn't dare to speak without authorization.
"Where are people?"
"He has already returned to Fengsun City. The subordinate has arranged for two good men to follow."
"What about other news? Have you verified it?"
"There is no way to verify his origin. Because according to the records on the case, his ancestral home is Xinliang City in Jingzhong. He fled to Licheng when he was young. On the way, he met a loose cultivator who led him into the sect. With a meager cultivation base, he entered Xuanqingwei's reserve camp to eat and drink. There are only a few witnesses to check these, and they cannot be confirmed.
On the contrary, all the context of his entry into Xuanqingwei can be checked, and it can be verified clearly.
In addition, this person's talent is strange, and it seems to be growing continuously, especially in the past two years, he has advanced by leaps and bounds, and has been promoted from the 4th and 5th level of Qi Refining to the current 5th level of Concentrating God. And it only took him less than two months to go from the fourth level to the fifth level. "
"Huh?! Less than two months? Concentrating on the 4th level and entering the 5th level?"
"Yes."
The corners of Pang Ban's mouth slightly raised: "Is this a genius formed the day after tomorrow?" After a pause, he continued: "You should continue to trace his heels. It is related to the famine that year. There should be some traces that can be investigated. In addition, based on your Is this person credible in his judgment?"
The middle-aged man in the white shirt was silent for a while before saying: "Returning to the adults, the subordinates have not seen any dirt from him."
"That's credible." Pang Ban seemed to be very interested in the opinion of the kneeling man. "So you keep staring at him, don't let him notice, and don't disturb any of his behavior, just follow the report."
"The subordinates know. However, in the past two days, the subordinates have discovered that there are still people who are secretly checking him."
"who?"
"It's very sophisticated and very subtle. It's impossible to grasp the handle. It's very similar to Yueyinglou's method." The voice of the middle-aged man in white shirt finally had a little bit of emotional ups and downs when he mentioned the word "Yueyinglou". Seems to be wary.
"Oh? He is just a hundred household officials from the fifth rank, and someone paid a lot of money to find people from Yueyinglou to check? Hehe, it seems that this kid has something to hide. You send two more people to Fengri City to keep an eye on him. , we must protect him, this kid is now a good seed in Xuanqing Guard, don't let anyone break it."
"Okay, when this subordinate returns, he will send someone to Fengsun City to protect him absolutely."
Pang Ban waved his hand, indicating that the other party could step back, and he would continue with today's homework. But then found that the other party still couldn't kneel down: "Is there anything else?"
"My lord, there is news from the palace this morning."
Palace?
Pang Ban was obviously taken aback, then frowned slightly, and said, "What news?"
"Last night, the eunuch at the imperial hospital in the palace discovered that Chen Yuyi was making a decoction in the pharmacy, and there was Wufenghuang left in the medicine residue. I went to ask, Wufenghuang is a strong medicine that stimulates people's potential to continue, but It will cause great damage to the foundation. It is generally used as an emergency treatment, and there are few prescriptions for making it into decoction."
"What about the dregs?"
"The eunuch only had time to look at it a few times, but he didn't have a chance to take it, so the doctor Chen came back and took it away. He threw it into the medicine stove and burned it clean.
Combined with Dr. Chen's usual whereabouts and scope of practice, his subordinates believed that the strong medicine should be prepared for His Majesty. "
The breath on Pang Ban's body was slightly disturbed, and he said after a long silence, "Why did you only find out now?"
"The Wufeng Huang in the palace has always been rationed, and there has never been a shortage, and I have never seen Imperial Physician Chen take Wufeng Huang into the decoction at the pharmacy. I think it was brought in from outside the palace by Imperial Physician Chen, so I missed it for a while. "
"waste!"
With a low shout, the kneeling person was thrown several feet away by the invisible energy, a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth and he swallowed it back, got up and continued to kneel so as not to make a sound.
"Keep an eye on Chen Haoye, even if he goes to the hut a few times a day, you have to figure out how long each trip is! Also, immediately watch all the five star officials for me, and report any changes to them immediately. Go on down !"
"Yes, this subordinate will leave." Before leaving, he wiped the blood that he spilled on the ground with his sleeve before getting up and leaving the quiet room.
After the person left, Pang Ban no longer had the intention to continue his homework. Annoyed, she stood up from the futon and walked back and forth in the quiet room.
Why does His Majesty use strong medicine?
Was the imperial physician Chen Haoye instigated by someone to murder His Majesty? Pang Ban shook his head and denied this guess. Chen Haoye has been studying with His Majesty since he was a child, and later entered the sect to study medicine. His cultivation level is not high, but his medical skills are rare in the whole country. Moreover, his family has been deeply bound by the emperor's favor and the fate of the royal family for generations. They belong to the kind of royal family that will be buried with them first There is no possibility of double-mindedness in the family.
That's what His Majesty needed, so he used this powerful medicine? What is this for?
Pang Ban became more and more uneasy. Considering that His Majesty has intentionally allowed the forces of all parties to grow savagely without checks and balances over the past year or so, even the actions of a few princes have become more and more outrageous with His Majesty's acquiescence.
Even Xuan Qingwei, who has always been designated as His Majesty's pro-army, is rarely called by His Majesty's name, and everything seems to be ignored.
This made Pang Ban suddenly say: "Look at you."
Watching you laugh, watching you cry, watching you plot tricks, watching you jump left and right, or watching your feet take root and the sky is calm.
It's time to start when everything is clear.
This is not a good thing. This means that His Majesty's health may become extremely bad, so he will use this kind of ruthless method that almost seems to be ready to draw fire from the bottom of the pot.
Of course, everything is Pang Ban's guesswork. He wasn't sure yet.
In the afternoon, Pang Ban came out of the commander's yamen and went straight to the palace gate to report that he wanted to meet the emperor, but was told that the emperor did not want to see him. Then he posted another note saying that he had something important to report, and asked to see him again. After waiting for nearly an hour, he was allowed to enter the palace for an audience.
Pang Ban has become used to the uncomfortable situation of being stopped by the emperor, and it has almost been the norm in the past two years. It was precisely because of this sign that Xuan Qingwei's originally solid position began to shake.
Pang Ban followed an eunuch, crossed the huge Miyagi Square, did not go to the Wanmin Palace, nor did he go to the Qinzheng Palace, but walked around to the Fu'an Palace behind.
Pang Ban had no expression on his face, but he was a little surprised in his heart, because His Majesty seldom summoned courtiers in a palace like Fu'an Palace where rest was the main thing.
