Chapter 39 Confession
The front mansion was already crowded. When Xiao Zicheng slowly walked into the main hall, the housekeepers of various governments flocked to him and surrounded him directly.
"Mr. Xiao, I am from Duke Zhao's Mansion. You must sell me a few bottles of essential oil today."
"I am from the Duke of England. My master and your uncle are family friends. I want three bottles, right?"
"What are you doing, what are you doing? Didn't you say that those with higher prices get it?"
For a moment, the hall was filled with noise, and Xiao Zicheng stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop talking:
"Everyone, you guys, I said last night that this essential oil is sold for public auctions, and the price is absolutely fair and just."
After hearing what he said, the giants who came here specially breathed a sigh of relief.
As businessmen, they can naturally see the value behind essential oils, which is to make a living that is more profitable than rouge powder.
So, they came to the door early in the morning to buy samples to see if they could be copied, and even if they were not good, they would seek cooperation.
This is why these giants strongly oppose it when they see someone making connections.
Seeing that there were too many people, Xiao Zicheng simply stood on the table:
"Everyone, the production process of essential oils is a rare holy product for beauty. It starts with a bottle of 100 taels of silver."
One hundred taels per bottle? Although everyone knows that essential oils are good, the price is too outrageous.
What family can afford to use this luxury product?
Xiao Zicheng added another sentence:
"As far as I know, the palace selects the best quality spices every year and pays tribute to the palace. It is almost the end of the year now.
I don’t know when the empresses in the harem will be able to use this essential oil.”
Everyone's eyes suddenly shone!
Now that the pass is approaching, the governments are worried about the gifts they offer to the palace. If they can get the essential oil into the palace first.
If you can become a saint, it will be a matter of immeasurable merit.
Everyone rushed up at the scene.
"Young Master Xiao, how many essential oils are there in your mansion? There are fifty bottles? I'll book it first!"
"Everything is up! I want a hundred bottles!"
"One hundred bottles? Are you embarrassed to speak? Young Master Xiao, I have enough essential oils to cover all of them. The next person will take care of the essential oils in the future."
Xiao Zicheng never felt worried about selling essential oils, but he didn't expect that there would be such a sensation. The corners of his mouth were almost slimming into the sky, and he quickly waved his hand to signal everyone to be calm.
I held back my smile, but still kept my annoyed voice:
"Don't worry, there are only seventy bottles left in total. Are you going to bid?"
......
At noon, the auction finally came to an end. Xiao Zicheng leaned on the Grand Master's chair very comfortably, counting a thick stack of silver notes in his hand, and his eyes shining.
It feels so good to cut leeks...
Xiao Zicheng still underestimated the foundation of the wealthy and nobles in the capital, and seventy bottles of essential oil were taken away by the Duke of Zhao for 10,000 taels of silver.
With this money, the second phase of the construction of the barren mountain should be put on the agenda.
"Young Master, the person has been found."
Just as Xiao Zicheng was counting the money happily, Wu Tian walked in with great silence.
"Where did you find it?" Xiao Zicheng's eyes narrowed, "Have you brought it back?"
Since he discovered that everyone in Kanqian was greedy, although he used thunder to ensure the supply of drugs, the patients in Kanqian recovered smoothly.
But he temporarily suppressed the matter of greed.
First, this matter involves the Beijing camp, and second, relying solely on the testimony of the soldiers, the other party will easily get out.
Furthermore, under the epidemic, Xiao Zicheng did not believe that the incident would be a Fenwu Camp experience.
If he wanted to continue to investigate, the Enliangsheng of the Imperial Hospital was a good breakthrough, so he instructed Wu Tian to investigate secretly.
Wu Tian's face turned dizzy when he heard this:
"Young master, when the villain finds the hometown of Enliangsheng, his whole family has been wiped out..."
"Is there any movement in the Imperial Hospital?"
"Return to the young master, the villain asked someone to ask, but the Enliangsheng did not resign, and the Imperial Hospital did not investigate the matter."
Xiao Zicheng was not surprised by this result, but he also smelled something wrong.
The Imperial Hospital has a strict system, and every doctor has his own accusations.
From the subpoena of the imperial doctor to the diagnosis of the pulse and then to the cooking of the imperial medicine, there are various orders and regulations. No one can change it at will, and there is no need to make any mistakes or slackness.
Now an Enliangsheng suddenly disappeared, but there was no movement in the Imperial Hospital.
Could it be that the entire Imperial Hospital is already involved? Or are they banned by someone?
"It's really a way to eliminate the roots and eliminate future troubles forever."
Xiao Zicheng smashed the table angrily. When things got to this point, they were in a dead end.
Wu Tian looked at the bored Xiao Zicheng and was a little reluctant to speak.
"If you have anything, you'll say it, and you're almost overwhelmed."
Wu Tian's funny look made Xiao Zicheng laugh and said angrily.
"Young master, when the villain returned to Beijing, he heard some rumors about the barren mountains, which is probably not good for you..."
"Go down and change your clothes first and go to the barren mountain with me."
After waving Wu Tian back, a glimmer of haze crawled on Xiao Zicheng's face.
The invisible web hanging above his head seemed to be far more meticulous than he thought.
He had just received a reward, but was appointed by the emperor to lead the treatment of the epidemic in Kyoto because of his method of avoiding the epidemic. Afterwards, someone was greedy for medicinal materials when he moved to the site.
Not only that, the nursery rhymes that have been circulating in Kyoto in recent days have also pointed at him.
In this era, if you are labeled as a rebellion, let alone a small Earl's Mansion, even if the prince is plotting against the enemy, the fate will not be better.
If the prince had not been pulled up last night, the doubts of the Han King were temporarily dispelled, and he might not have been able to walk out of the Han King's Mansion last night.
"Young Master, someone is looking for you outside." Wu Tian returned with a strange expression, "I came from the barren mountain, and I will see you no matter what I say."
Xiao Zicheng raised his eyebrows, put on a robe and walked out. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Erniu standing in the cold wind, followed by a middle-aged man full of fear.
As soon as Erniu saw Xiao Zicheng, he said respectfully:
"A villain, I've seen my benefactor."
Xiao Zicheng couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at Erniu. The next moment he seemed to think of something, and his handsome face was full of solemnity.
Erniu reached out and pulled the middle-aged man behind him and said softly:
"Tell me to your benefactor."
Sun Er's face was full of gullies, and he was obviously very frightened. His small eyes were blocked by gullies, making people unable to see his eyes clearly.
He raised his head carefully, his whole body trembling, but when he saw Fang Jifan, he felt like he had a reassurance pill.
In Sun Er's heart, Xiao Zicheng was his benefactor, a life-saving Bodhisattva, and a real good person.
In the barren mountain, no one dares to say that Xiao Zicheng is not.
He took a deep breath, fell to his knees with a thud, and said in tears:
Chapter completed!
