I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 227 Don’t involve her in this matter

It's sunny after snow, the sky is clear and blue, and although the temperature is low, it's also refreshingly cold.

When Luo Qianhuai woke up, Mr. Mo and Wei Ying had already left, as if what he experienced last night was just a dream.

Zhang Qing behaved as usual, teaching Luo Zhao with special care, and taking care of Luo Qianhuai in general.

The imperial list calling for talented people that had been posted previously had completely disappeared from the bulletin board, and was replaced by a notice announcing a tax increase.

When they heard that the imperial court was going to increase taxes, ordinary people in the market were inevitably frightened. However, after a specialist from the Yiting faction interpreted it, they realized that these taxes had nothing to do with them.

The threshold for the consumption tax on high-end drinks previously proposed by Luo Qianhuai was greatly lowered when it was officially implemented.

As long as the market price of each kilogram of wine exceeds 500 yuan, an additional 40% consumption tax will be levied based on the sales volume.

In addition to wine, copperware, jewelry and jade, precious jewelry, precious wood and its products, and even tea and brown sugar have also received this honor, but the tax rates vary and are not as high as wine.

This new policy will be implemented next year, the first year of Hongxi.

Just from the new year's name changed by His Majesty the Emperor, we can guess that he must be in a very good mood. Huo Yu, who wanted to propose tax reform strategies and successfully opened the secret box, must be very proud at this moment.

There are still two links left in the system's plan to overturn the verdict. Compared to the one who went to jail at night, these two looked much more normal. Even if he didn't use the system to enforce it, Luo Qianhuai felt that he could accomplish it.

She first went to Xijing. Zhang Qing originally wanted to accompany him, but she politely refused in the name of guarding the door. She was going to ask for help, and she didn't want Zhang Qing to antagonize that person again for some inexplicable reason.

Although the journey was not far, Xingjiu still found a low-key but comfortable carriage for her to take her to see Mr. Mo.

Mr. Mo was a little surprised by her arrival, but he didn't show it too obviously. At least when Luo Qianhuai looked at him, he didn't see the smile that was deliberately hidden.

She made a request, asking Mr. Mo to sort out the relationship, seize a batch of prohibited goods at the Weishui Pass, and then pass the news to the Xijing Ling.

Mr. Mo didn't reply to her immediately, but sat lazily in front of the case, looking at her with his eyes bent, with a half-smile on his face.

Luo Qianhuai understood that he wanted to hear what price he was willing to pay.

Also, even though her relationship with him is a bit strange now, she is still his subordinate. In this day and age, masters assign tasks to their subordinates, and it seems rare for her to do the same thing in reverse.

She had already prepared for this before coming here.

"Most of the nine guards in Lushuang camp are adopted orphans. They suffered hardships when they were young and do not eat cold food. Therefore, most of them are suffering from salivary diseases."

The so-called saliva worms are actually roundworms.

She was not alarmist. She had discovered as early as inside the Secret Valley that many camp guards had the typical characteristics of ascariasis, such as emaciation and white spots on the face due to malnutrition, and occasional intra-abdominal colic. Later, it was discovered that the symptoms and symptoms did not match up. It was actually due to the activity of parasites in the intestines that the symptoms and signs did not correspond.

In fact, she had always kept this matter in mind, and she took advantage of this opportunity to help the camp guards solve their illness.

Mr. Mo was not completely unaware of this kind of thing. Wei Ying once reported to him that an individual camp guard vomited long worms from his mouth while sleeping. Although Xue Wen tried his best to treat him, he was not successfully cured. He didn't expect to get anything in return from Luo Qianhuai, but if she could really help everyone cure this disease, it would be an unexpected surprise.

Mr. Mo sat up straight: "Since Mrs. Luo is willing to raise it, I think she must have a solution."

Luo Qianhuai handed him the cloth bag in his hand.

"This is a black plum pill. Take one pill a day for ten days. It should be able to achieve the effect of deworming."

In fact, this is not an ordinary black plum pill, but based on the original prescription, neem bark and Shijunzi are added to make it more effective in killing diseases and insect pests.

The camp guards usually practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, so they can withstand the power of the medicine. If they are old, weak, sick and disabled, they can only use the basic version of Wu Mei Wan.

There were five hundred pills in the bag, but it was not enough for all the camp guards, so Yiluo Qianhuai also prepared a prescription.

Mr. Mo took it, called Wei Ying in, and ordered him to make arrangements immediately. He also ordered He Qing to prepare wine and food. He wanted to invite Luo Qianhuai to dine with him, but she refused.

"I have other things to do when I come to Xijing today. Since the young master has agreed, I will leave first."

Mr. Mo is actually not as leisurely as he appears. Seeing that Luo Qianhuai insisted on leaving, he did not try to persuade him to stay.

However, Wei Cang skillfully jumped in on one foot after she left and asked Mr. Mo, "Sir, why don't you mention that matter to Mrs. Luo by the way?"

Mr. Mo frowned: "I already said last night not to involve Mrs. Luo in this matter, but your ears are also disabled, so you can't hear clearly?"

Wei Cang was a little surprised. He raised his head to look at his master, but saw that there was no trace of a smile on his face. His eyes were as dark and cold as the sky, with no depth at all. He quickly bowed to apologize and said, "It's a genus." I've overstepped my bounds."

Mr. Mo looked at his leg that didn't dare to touch the ground, but he couldn't bear to criticize him harshly: "Send someone to investigate Mrs. Lu Wu, especially how she behaves in her boudoir, whether it is really as Huo Xuan said. Submissive and chaste.”

Luo Qianhuai left Yaoxing Tower and then went to Shouhe Hall. After waiting for about half an hour, he met Shao Zong who had returned from a medical visit at an official's home.

Shao Zong was very surprised when he saw it was her, and quickly asked someone to take her to the inner room to serve tea. Luo Qianhuai then told him his purpose of coming, and showed him the pulse record of Zheng Yan's family and the prescription prescribed by Wen Pu.

"The prescription is extremely suitable for the disease." Shao Zong said in confusion: "Mrs. Luo is much better at this kind of thing than Shao, so why do you need to do this more?"

"To be honest with Mr. Shao, Dr. Wen Pu and Wen Zhong of Ji'antang were actually my uncle. Even because they were secluded from each other, it was difficult for my daughter to come forward on her own." She briefly explained the matter of reversing the case.

"That being the case, Shao has no obligation to refuse." Shao Zong said nothing and was very happy, which made many of Luo Qianhuai's prepared remarks useless.

Obviously, the two of them didn't get along happily that day at Bai's house, but they didn't expect that the other party would be so loyal.

"Actually, Shao also heard a thing or two about what happened to Dr. Wen back then. His prescription was right for the patient. At the time, he thought he was innocent. But in the end, it had nothing to do with him and he didn't care about it. Now that I think about it, it's the same. I feel a little ashamed." Shao Zong explained: "Since I have this opportunity now, I must do my best."
