Chapter 221 Searching for traces in the city
The carriage entered the county town and moved slowly along the main street of the city.
The further you go into the city, the more shops there are on both sides of the street.
There were oil and salt shops, grocery shops, rice shops, bookstores selling paper, pens, ink and inkstones, as well as paper shops and coffin shops that specialized in selling gold and silver paper ingots, paper people and horses, paper archways and houses, and other paper products that were burned.
There are also many roadside stalls, some selling flower headbands, hairpins and earrings that women wear;
There are those who sell handkerchief purses;
There are also snacks and tea for sale.
On the central cross street of the county town, there are two tall and imposing restaurants on two street corners:
One is called Nanfeng Tower and the other is called Beiyan Tower.
Both restaurants are three-storey buildings.
It is said that one of these two restaurants specializes in southern flavors, while the other specializes in northern flavors.
Therefore, the two restaurants do not conflict with each other and can be chosen by visiting guests and local wealthy businessmen at will.
Leng Rongyue and his companions had just finished their meal and were not very interested in the restaurant. They just took a look, turned the corner and continued walking forward.
Qingyi and Ziyi followed Leng Rongyue out of the carriage. They walked along the main street, searching for drug stores, pharmacies and clinics. They even took a second look at the traveling doctors ringing their bells on the street.
The man in blue drove the carriage and followed from a distance, so that Leng Rongyue and the others could get on the carriage at any time.
You can't walk around the entire county on foot!
Leng Rongyue was walking on the street with Qingyi and Ziyi.
The three of them were dressed neatly and cleanly. Although they were not wearing silk or satin, but only fine cotton clothes, they were considered decently dressed in this county town.
The three of them first walked into a clinic.
There were two doctors in the clinic. One had a clean-skinned face, a slight beard, and was about forty years old.
The other one has gray hair.
Both of their foreheads were clean.
First of all, the big mole with only a tuft of hair is gone.
These two doctors are definitely not it.
The three of them walked in and took a quick look. Leng Rongyue checked the accountant, the clerks, and the two doctors on duty.
neither.
"Ladies, are you here to see a doctor or get some medicine?" the waiter came forward enthusiastically.
Leng Rongyue walked to the counter naturally, "Hey, little brother, I want to buy some honeysuckle, ophiopogon japonicus and Sterculia lychnophora."
"Oh, is there someone in the family who has a sore throat?" the young man asked with a smile.
While chatting, he turned back to the medicine cabinet, opened the drawer and got the medicine.
"Yes! Buy some and soak it in water." Leng Rongyue said smoothly.
The waiter was very skillful. He packed a small bag of honeysuckle, ophiopogon japonicus and Sterculia lychnophora and brought it over. "Miss, these three kinds of medicine are ready. The total price is thirty-six coins."
"Thank you!" Qingyi paid the money.
"Goodbye, three ladies." The waiter politely escorted the three girls to the door of the clinic.
Afterwards, Leng Rongyue took Qingyi and Ziyi in and out of several pharmacies and clinics, and bought some herbal medicines to clear away heat and reduce internal heat.
After all, medical clinics and drug stores are not rouge shops, cloth shops, silver shops, or clothing stores where you can just browse but not buy anything.
No one would go to a clinic or drugstore to wander around without buying medicine or seeing a doctor.
Leng Rongyue walked along the way, and went into any drug store or clinic he saw, spending a few dozen coins to buy some herbs to clear away heat and reduce internal heat.
As a result, the large and small packages in the carriage were almost all filled with medicinal herbs such as dandelions, Ophiopogon japonicus, chrysanthemums, and Sterculia lychnophora, and the carriage was filled with the aroma of medicine.
At this time, on the third floor of the Nanfeng Restaurant in Banshan County, the half window that had been open just now was now closed.
Xiao Jingyu was sitting at a table by the window, with two young men in good shape standing in front of him.
“Your Majesty, I have checked all the drugstores, clinics, and medicine shops in this city;
The subordinates have checked everyone who is related to practicing medicine or selling drugs.
Now, we can be sure that all the people we have examined are not the doctor surnamed Lu."
Xiao Jingyu listened, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, "Go on!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!
The subordinates also secretly visited some places around Banshan County.
There are several small villages near the mountains, where some villagers are herbal farmers who make a living by collecting herbs;
Some people take collecting herbs in the mountains as a side job.
There are two people among them...at the moment we can only say that they are...possible.
I heard that those two people were herbalists in the mountains.
They usually just treat minor illnesses for nearby villagers around the village, and sell the herbs they collect to herbalists in the city.
Judging from their age, body shape and appearance... they should be somewhat similar.
But I haven't seen it yet, it's just..." The subordinate who spoke pointed to the top of his right eyebrow, "There is no special sign here."
"Have Qingyi and the others been informed of these situations?" Xiao Jingyu asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty," the guard replied, "I have simply written down the details on a note.
Just a while ago, when the little princess brought Qingyi and Ziyi into the clinic in front, the subordinate passed the note to Lanyi.
They should know it by now.”
Xiao Jingyu nodded, "In that case, let's leave the city now.
Go check on those two herbalists."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Jingyu walked in front, with two guards following behind him, and they walked out of the back door of Nanfeng Restaurant.
The three men mounted their horses, turned from the back street to the main street, and headed straight for the south gate of the county town.
At this time, Leng Rongyue brought Qingyi and Ziyi onto the carriage. They had visited several clinics and drugstores in the city, but had not seen anyone who looked like Doctor Lu.
Leng Rongyue didn't feel that disappointed.
She hadn't expected to find the person she was looking for or to find out everything the first time she came out.
She is patient and just keeps checking and looking!
At this moment, Lan Yi handed a note to Leng Rongyue.
Lan Yi said, "Miss, this was just delivered by a secret guard from the Duke's Mansion."
Lan Yi thought to himself: Poor prince, when will you be able to step out of the darkness and into the light?
