Chapter 21 Where is my wife


    The next day, the sun was soft in the early morning and it was warm on people.


    Qin Chi got up a little later than usual.


    As he stepped out of the west wing, he walked around the patio.


    The east wing room was closed with the door tightly.


    There was no such graceful figure in the hall. It seemed that I had just arrived at a new environment and I was not used to it.


    Qin Chi sat in the hall.


    Mrs. Huang came over and asked if she wanted to serve breakfast.


    Qin Chi nodded.


    After a while, Mrs. Huang brought the breakfast food to the table.


    "Why are there only one person''s bowls and chopsticks?"


    Qin Chi''s eyes at Huang Pozi were sharp.


    Huang Mama quickly knelt down and reported in a trembling voice: "Young Master, the lady went out early and took Lao Li''s mule cart, saying she was going to East Street."


    Qin Chi picked up his chopsticks and started eating.


    "Get up, tell me this kind of thing earlier in the future."


    “Yes, I remember.”


    Huang Pozi and others were slaves bought by Qin Chi. If Qin Chi was in the county town, they would take care of their daily life.


    Wait for Qin Chi to go out.


    There was a carriage waiting outside.


    Qin Chi first went to Shun''an Bookstore.


    The shopkeeper welcomed him into the inner room.


    "How is the whereabouts of the Song family?" Qin Chi sat down and asked.


    The shopkeeper wiped his cold sweat.


    "Young Master, the clues of the Song family were not found. Old Huo even found the Zhu family''s cargo ship, and the person was chased and killed several times. He is currently recuperating in a business in Tunxi. Doctor Jing said he would be bedridden for half a month..."


    The shopkeeper even let out a cold sweat for Lao Huo in the danger. Who would have expected that a simple investigation would almost cost a life.


    The shopkeeper took out another file from the dark room.


    "Magistrate Yang ordered the capture of the Song clan, and then he closed his door to thank the guests."


    He handed the investigation information to Qin Chi.


    Qin Chi asked while flipping through, "Where did the people who chase Lao Huo come from?"


    "There are six people in total, wearing evil ghost masks and using a unified ring-headed sword. Lao Huo said that the moves of those people are like dead soldiers trained by a large family."


    Qin Chi finished reading soon.


    The above lists the whereabouts and trivial matters of the prefect Yang Lingyu, half a month before the Song family was convicted.


    All the prefect Yang saw were colleagues.


    When you go to the yamen every day, you will go to the yamen.


    No abnormalities were found for half a month.


    "According to the investigation, on the day the Song family was arrested, a cabinet official document was sent to the government office. The prefect Yang immediately dispatched people and went to catch people as soon as it was dark. The next day, the archives of the yamen caught fire and the official document was burned..."


    The shopkeeper told the investigation.


    Qin Chi read the investigation about Yang''s prefect again.


    In the end, the eyes were fixed in one place.


    Three days before the accident occurred in the Song family, Yang received a letter from Shangjing.


    Qin Chi said thoughtfully: "Is Yang Zhengkai''s nephew?"


    "Yes, Mr. Yang is his uncle."


    Yang Ge Lao was Yang Zhengkai, a minister of the cabinet, and a grandson of the Dongge Grand Secretary, who also served as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He was a third-rank official, holding real power, and has always been honest and unconventional with treacherous people.


    Qin Chi thought something when he heard this.


    Yang Zhengkai has a high position and is it necessary to target a Hui merchant family far away from the capital?


    The Song family is famous in Huizhou Prefecture.


    There is really no ranking nationwide.


    If Qin Chi had not investigated the Song family inside and outside in order to cooperate with the Song family, he would have really suspected that the Song family was backed by a certain force. But the Song family has indeed established a foothold in Huizhou Prefecture for a hundred years with a skill of making medicinal materials.


    It is a famous good home in Huizhou.


    Now let’s wait for the investigation in the northwest.


    Who is the one who interferes with it? It’s only a matter of time to find out, but it may not be easy to find the whereabouts of the Song family.


    Qin Chi infers based on existing clues.


    The people behind the scenes took the Song family to Tunxi, and most of them wanted to use the waterway to hide their whereabouts. If the manned cargo ship goes to Jiujiang Prefecture, there are still traces to be found; if it passes through Hangzhou Prefecture and enters the East China Sea, it will be difficult to reach the sky if it continues to track down.


    But it’s useless to be anxious now.


    Just at this moment, someone outside asked to see the shopkeeper.


    The shopkeeper went out and quickly turned back.


    "Young Master, there is an urgent matter in Hangzhou."


    Qin Chi took over the secret letter from the shopkeeper.


    It was just a small note with small words on it.


    After reading it, Qin Chi put down the note, "Shopkeeper Tao, can you tell where my wife is?"


    “Mrs. is in Jifang Pharmacy.”


    When he moved to the county town from Song Jin, his whereabouts were considered under their noses.


    Jifang Pharmacy backyard.


    In the courtyard are rows of wooden shelves, divided into two layers, each filled with bamboo-woven dustpans.


    Various medicinal materials were dried on the dustpan.


    In the water well next to it, there are still a few people cleaning the medicinal materials. After washing, they have to choose and divide the medicinal materials into three levels: upper, middle, and lower.


    In the innermost room.


    It was Song Jin who asked Xing Lun to make it.


    There are brand new tools in the room, such as steamer, wok, forging pot, mortar, mill and basket, cutting knife, grinding groove, etc.


    "Boss, the newly dried loquat leaves are brought."


    Two medicine children lifted up a large basket.


    It is full of dried loquat leaves cut into shreds.


    After Song Jin checked, let them put it down if there was no problem.


    The loquat leaves sold on the market are mostly used to remove impurities and fluff from the newly picked leaves, spray water to moisten and soften them, cut them into shredded slices, and then dry them to be used as medicine.


    The loquat leaves sold by Song are different, they are made through honey roasting.


    The loquat leaves after honey roast can enhance the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, which is also the reason why the outside world says that Song’s medicinal materials are good.


    The loquat leaf roasting method recorded in the "Song Family Pharmacopoeia" is not only one, but also the method of scalding licorice, crispy roasting, fire roasting, **** juice roasting and jujube juice.


    In the previous life, Song Jin mainly studied honey roasting.


    This is what I need to use.


    Now she needs to make money.


    Xing Lun came over and asked, "Did the boss personally roast loquat leaves?"


    "Yes, does your mother still have honey refining there?"


    Refining honey is the honey that is refined.


    During the process of refining, impurities in it will be removed, some of the water will be evaporated, and the microorganisms inside will be killed, and the adhesion will be enhanced.


    The Dami Pills in Chinese medicine use honey refining.


    Xing Lun''s mother Yinlong often makes honey pills and sells them in the store, so she has ready-made honey refining.


    Just as Xing Lun was about to go out, Jin Ling came in a hurry.


    "Miss, Manager Tao asked someone to come and pass the message, saying that their boss is in the bookstore and asked you to see you."


    "Oh, I''ll go there now."


    Song Jinxin thought that the man had made an appointment with him, and it was very likely that he had found a clue.


    Jin Ling said, "Let Xing Lun accompany you, he is familiar with Manager Tao."


    "Boss, let the medicine boy get honey, I will accompany you to Shun''an Bookstore."


    Xing Lun and Jin Ling were mainly worried.


    Song Jin thought about it and nodded.


    It is better to let Xing Lun follow him than Aunt Ling, and he can help him anyway.


    So I touched for about a quarter of an hour.


    It was also the tea room where I met last time.


    Through the screen, Qin Chi vaguely saw Song Jin walking in, wearing a mili, combed in a woman''s bun, and wearing a simple cotton dress.


    The figure is silhouetted and hazy.


    What''s going on with his inexplicable scene?
