The night was shrouded in Chang'an City, dark clouds were covered with dark clouds, the air was wet and cold, and a heavy snow was about to come again, the stars and moon were obscured, and the streets at night became dark, but as negotiations began between the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the atmosphere was no longer as fierce as before.

A carriage was guarded by more than a dozen entourages and drove silently into Yanshoufang. The carriage was very small and ordinary, no different from the carriage carrying passengers on the street. However, the dozen entourages were all big and round, and powerful, which indicates the abnormal identity of the owner of the carriage...

Yanshoufang is close to the Western Market, which was the former Liren Market. It was the distribution place for commodities in the Tang Dynasty. However, due to the limited territory of the Tang Dynasty, the business in the Western Market was far from returning to the peak of the Sui Dynasty. Only 70% of the shops were opened, and there were a lot of fewer merchants.

The bleak business in the West City also affected Yanshoufang. The yard where merchants were originally gathered became a little deserted. Especially at night, there was no one on the street. The carriage drove into Yanshoufang and arrived at the northwest corner. It stopped in front of a small house.

This small house covers less than two acres of land. Generally speaking, if it covers an area of ​​more than one acre, it is called a house, if it is less than one acre, it is called a house, and if it is less than three acres, it is called a small house, which is a symbol of wealthy families.

This small house is the house of the imperial physician Zhang Bingzhi. Zhang Bingzhi is about fifty years old today. He is dull and not good at pursuing the officialdom. Although he is skilled in medical skills, he has never been able to use it. He can only be a small pharmacist in the pharmacy. His salary is small and it is difficult to support his family. Therefore, he secretly picked up some patients at night to subsidize his family income.

At this time, outside the window of the guest room, a woman was hiding behind the window and eavesdropping. The woman was Zhang Bingzhi's wife, who was over 40 years old, had thin lips, slightly high cheekbones, and a pair of small eyes. She gave birth to three sons for Zhang Bingzhi and became a hero of the Zhang family. In addition, she was a stingy person and had a deep scheming, and gradually became the head of the family again.

Tonight, her husband seemed to be in the middle of the journey. When a fortune came to the door, the woman clearly saw a plate of yellow gold on the table in the guest room, which was at least 500 taels, making the woman's eyes red.

It is said that this is only half, and her husband's cowardly look down, which made the woman feel angry. She wished she could rush in and tear off his ears.

In the room, Zhang Bingzhi lowered his head deeply. He was about fifty years old, with a small nose and small eyes, and a hard-working look. He had been in the Imperial Medical Office for 30 years and was still a small person, and he had no chance to meet the emperor. However, he had very high skills in making medicine. Emperor Li Yuan and the former empress dowager and the queen were all made by him, but the credit was not his.

Zhang Bingzhi was extremely scared at this time. The person sitting next to him was not a patient, nor was he a welcome guest. This guest was thin and dark, with sharp eyes like a knife. His name was Wang Tai, a very ordinary name.

But if his wife knew this person's nickname, she would probably collapse on the spot. The person was nicknamed "The King of Slaughter" and was the deputy commander of Tang Feng. She was in charge of Tang Feng's arrest and torture, and was a person who changed his brilliance when he heard about it.

At this time, Mr. Wang didn't tell him anything, but put five hundred taels of gold on the table and said nothing. This silent pressure almost made Zhang Bingzhi collapse. Finally, he whispered: "I only know how to treat the doctor. Who do Commander Wang wants me to treat the doctor?"

"Yes, I want you to treat someone..."

Speaking of this, Wang Tai pointed to the back window, "It's better to let my sister-in-law leave, so as not to hurt her by accident."

Zhang Bingzhi was shocked. He hurriedly walked to the window, patted the pane, and shouted anxiously: "Go quickly! Go away!"

Outside the window, his wife's gritted teeth, "You are so damn god, you dare to let Jin Zi fly, let me see how I deal with you!"

When the woman left, a hint of pride appeared in Wang Tai's eyes. Of course, he touched Zhang Bingzhi's bottom and knew that Zhang Bingzhi was afraid of his inner self, while his wife was extremely greedy. This was Zhang Bingzhi's biggest weakness, not afraid that he would not listen to him.

Zhang Bingzhi sat down again, looked at the gold timidly, and took five hundred taels of gold to him for treatment. Who would this person be?

"Who is it for?"

Wang Tai said coldly: "You should not ask such words. You should know who to treat the doctor."

Zhang Bingzhi didn't react. He sat there for a while. Suddenly, his face changed drastically and he jumped up in shock, "No! No!" He retreated repeatedly, leaned against the wall, staring at Wang Tai in horror.

Seeing that he had already understood, Wang Tai said lightly: "You can't help but do this. You have to do it even if you don't. I might as well tell you that your three sons are in my hands."

Zhang Bingzhi was stunned as if he was struck by lightning. Wang Tai stood up, "Okay! I figured it out and came to me. I want to know your plan."

He quickly left the room, Zhang Bingzhi stared at the roof blankly, and he suddenly realized, rushed out like an arrow, and closed the door with a 'bang!'

At this time, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked out the crack in the door. He saw Wang Taihang a carriage, but a cold face appeared on the carriage window, and his sharp eyes were staring at the door, as if he had seen through the door and his heart. This face made Zhang Bingzhi collapse directly on the door...

Zhang Bingzhi returned to the room in a daze. In the room, his wife was holding gold, illuminating the light one by one, muttering words, "Can it be fake? Can it be fake?"

A stream of passion rushed towards Zhang Bingzhi's head. He rushed up like crazy and pushed his wife to the ground, "My son is almost dead, what are you doing with these things?"

His wife was stunned. She had never seen her husband lose his composure like this and hadn't seen him for decades.

"What happened...?"

She suddenly reacted, got up from the ground, grabbed her husband's hair, "Tell me quickly, what does it have to do with her son?"

Zhang Bingzhi sat on the ground, pointed to the door, and whispered: "Close the door first."

His wife quickly closed the door, turned back with another gust of wind, grabbed her husband's hair, "Tell me quickly!"

Zhang Bingzhi whispered to his wife, and his wife was shocked and glared out. She glanced at her husband in fear, "Did you mean it's wrong?"

"There is no mistake. I just saw the King of Qin."

The woman's eyes narrowed, and she shone with fierce light. She only cared about her son's life. No other death had anything to do with her. She asked in a low voice: "Do you think it's impossible?"

Zhang Bingzhi pondered for a long time and nodded, "There are three imperial doctors who specialize in testing medicines. It is impossible to do it directly, but it can be done indirectly. He usually takes four medicines, and one medicine is not a problem. However, there will be problems with several medicines mixed in the stomach, but it is not a fatal poison. It will gradually cause problems, ranging from one month to half a year."

The woman gritted her teeth, "Then do it, my son's life is more important than anyone else."

Her eyes fell on the gold again, and her little eyes suddenly lit up.

.........

The carriage was driving in the night. In the carriage, Li Shimin asked coldly: "Is he willing to do it?"

"He didn't make any statement, but he couldn't help. His three sons were all in the hands of Huye."

Li Shimin clicked, "Do you think he can do it?"

"Your Highness, this person's art of cannon medicine is unparalleled in the world. As long as he is willing to do it, there is nothing that cannot be done, and it is foolproof."

"Very good, after the work is done, his whole family will not leave any living."

The carriage rushed out of Yanshoufang like a gust of wind and rushed northwest.

.........

Although the Imperial Physicians are affiliated with Taichang Temple, dozens of Imperial Physicians spend most of their time traveling in the palace. There are also special pharmacies in Taichi Palace, and places for imperial doctors to rest and wait for the call. The pharmacies in the palace cover a large area and are a four-story vermilion building. Since the Sui Dynasty, this place has been the main area of ​​the palace pharmacies, and all kinds of precious medicinal materials are all over the world. There are all kinds of here.

The pharmacy manager's surname is Ma, and he is also an imperial physician, but he is only responsible for managing more than 20 pharmacists and several pharmacists under his command. However, the person who actually works as a pillar in the pharmacy was Zhang Bingzhi, who was called the world's number one pharmacist by people in the industry.

As the saying goes, there are struggles in places where there are people. Although Zhang Bingzhi has good medicine cannons, he is very failed in life. He is a can of a can, without saying a word, he can't flatter or give gifts at night. After working in the pharmacy for thirty years, he is still a big soldier, so people in the pharmacy joked that it is the foundation of the medicine can, which means medicine residue.

However, because Zhang Bingzhi was superb, the pharmacy manager Ma was still polite to him and spoke kindly, respectfully calling him Zhang Gong, but it was not the turn of Zhang Bingzhi to do good things such as rewards and salary increase.

Early in the morning, Manager Ma hurried into the pharmacy. Over the past year, the empress dowager was seriously ill, the queen was seriously ill, and the emperor fell ill. A series of major events made the pharmacy busy. Manager Ma rushed to the third floor like a fire on his butt, looking around, shouting anxiously: "Where is Mr. Zhang! Where is the person?"

The time for the emperor to take the medicine was almost here, but the medicine had not been delivered yet. The doctor in front was anxious. At this time, someone pointed to the upstairs, "It seems to be on the fourth floor!"

Manager Ma ran to the fourth floor with another gust of wind, "Lao Zhang, where is the emperor's medicine? The doctor is already angry."

"It was made just now!"

Zhang Bingzhi appeared at the stairs and handed him four boxes. Each box contained a pill. These were four health medicines that Li Yuan had to take every day. They were not broken and were always prepared by Zhang Bingzhi.

"Why is it late today?" Manager Ma took the box and complained.

"It's nothing. I didn't have a good rest last night and I was a little tired." Zhang Bingzhi was listless and didn't even want to say anything.

"Oh! Then you go home early today to rest!"

Although Manager Ma was stingy in terms of money, he would still give such small favors such as rest. He walked downstairs and stopped and turned around and said, "Please pick up fewer patients tonight!"

"Haha! I'm fine."

Zhang Bingzhi laughed dryly. He kept watching Manager Ma walk away, his heart stolen in his throat. His medicine had to be tested by three imperial doctors. Although he was absolutely sure, he was still extremely worried.

Time passed little by little, until dusk, nothing happened. At this time, Manager Ma walked into the pharmacy and saw Zhang Bingzhi sitting at the table in a daze. He couldn't help but ask strangely: "Why haven't Zhang Gong left yet? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhang Bingzhi slowly stood up and smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid of the tigress at home!"

Manager Ma laughed.
