All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Youyao concealed the bezoar in Jimintang. It was a counterfeit and did not have the intended medicinal effect. She allowed Liu Dagen's case to continue to ferment, giving the nobles the illusion that Liu Dagen's death was perfectly arranged. Jimintang is deeply involved in the public opinion of selling inferior medicinal materials. As long as the Yamen cannot find new evidence, the White House will bear all the responsibility for Liu Dagen's death.

Baifu voluntarily admitted to selling inferior medicinal materials and carried out various preferential activities, which further created a false impression for the nobles and made them dispel their suspicions. They mistakenly thought that Baifu was in a worrying situation, so they had to break the pot and try to use various "preferential" activities. , win people's hearts and restore credibility.

The Han clan had a sure chance of victory, and they realized that their plan to deal with the Baifu was successful.

Mrs. Bai was encouraged by Princess Shaoyi and determined to change her ways to good deeds. This also became an excuse for the Han family to attack Princess Shaoyi. The notice posted in front of the drug store in Baiji Road was that Princess Shaoyi protected the Bai family. "irrefutable evidence".

Xia Tao was a little puzzled: "Common people who are not in a position of honor are not allowed to discuss government affairs in public, criticize court officials, or slander the emperor's relatives, the crime will be increased to one level, and they will be punished for committing the above crimes. How can they dare to criticize you? "

Yu Youyao said calmly: "The law does not judge the crime based on the crowd. When everyone agrees and echoes what others say, when there are many people and power, you will naturally have nothing to fear."

After soaking the frankincense for three hours, the water turned milky white and the frankincense became soft and waxy. Yu Youyao put the frankincense into a small stone mill, turned the stone mill, and ground the frankincense into a pulp.

The ground pulp is like milk, with a light fragrance.

This is one of the steps in making frankincense essence.

Xia Tao curled her lips. Although all this was part of the young lady's plan, the young lady had done so many things for the people of Liaodong. Instead of being grateful, the people just followed what they said and said something bad about the young lady.

She couldn't help but defend the young lady: "Don't you feel aggrieved?"

"Why are you aggrieved?!" Yu Youyao added frankincense and turned the stone mill: "I only do what I think is right and what I should do. As for what others think of me, let them do it."

Xia Tao felt aggrieved for the young lady: "But..."

Yu Youyao knew what she wanted to say: "Although I have the reputation of being holy and good, and I have indeed done many good deeds, in fact I have not done much for the people. The people also follow others' opinions and think that I have a good heart, but in fact they have not enjoyed it. My kindness has brought benefits, so why should I carry baggage like being a saint and a living bodhisattva and make myself uncomfortable?"

She set up the Love Heart Hall. In order to gain a good reputation for her, her grandmother had to build momentum for her. The Yu clan was happy to see success, so naturally they wanted to help. To reduce relief pressure, she is also promoting her good name, raising donations, and mobilizing non-governmental disaster relief.

Her great reputation spread throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Later, Yin Huaixi even used sweet potatoes to alleviate the drought in the north, and openly asked the court for her credit, which pushed her reputation to the highest point.

Her name of holiness was spread deliberately by them.

Xia Tao was unconvinced: "Why haven't you done anything for the people? Just because you tried planting sweet potatoes, you not only alleviated the drought in the north, but also made the people in Xiangping and several surrounding counties have enough to eat. I shouldn’t say that to you, and there are millions of refugees in Liaodong who can be resettled. How many of them are due to the cooperation between Miss and the Xie Mansion to develop sericulture in the north and promote sweet potato cultivation?"

There are also millions of refugees gathered in Longcheng, waiting for resettlement.

They all looked to sweet potatoes to save their lives.

Without sweet potatoes, who would dare to take in the refugees? Not to mention that the young lady has been busy preventing and controlling epidemics recently, as well as the locust plague in May and June.

Is there anything the young lady does that is not for the common people?

Yu Youyao reluctantly changed the subject and asked, "How is the investigation going on my case?"

Xia Tao said quickly: "Mr. Zhang said that after interrogating Ms. Zhang and the eighteen gangsters overnight, the prefectural government office, based on their confessions, would instigate Mrs. Zhang, bribe the gangsters, and frame her in just three days. The suspected criminals of Princess Shaoyi were arrested one by one, and one of the masterminds behind the scenes was assigned to the magistrate of Xiangping County, Mr. He. It was initially suspected that he had colluded with the Han clan, but it still needed to be verified. It will take a round of interrogation to confirm.”

Among the arrested people, there was no connection with He Zhixian, but they were identified by a second-rate person. One of them was the daughter of a certain relative's aunt. That so-and-so was a secret agent. He had seen He Zhixian's cronies spending the night there.

A secret door is a secret prostitute.

They are usually women from good families. Not only are they beautiful, but they also have a good background. They are proficient in poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They have also been specially trained to serve men in bed and sing in the wind when out of bed. moon.

Officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not allowed to have prostitutes, and the wives and concubines at home were all from decent backgrounds, so they were not able to serve others well.

Many officials who are serious outside have maintained secret traps outside.

If someone discovers it, it will be declared as an outside room. Although it is not respectable to keep an outside room, it will not break the law.

The cronies of Hezhi County have maintained a secret door outside. No matter how hidden it is, there is no airtight wall in the world. Xiangping is such a big place, and the gangsters are hanging out in Huajie and Liuxiang. This kind of unreasonable information is the most well-informed. .

Yu Youyao was not surprised. If this case was handed over to He Zhixian, the Bai Mansion would definitely be finished.

She crossed Hezhi County and went directly to the prefectural government office to prevent the magistrate's office from being involved in interests with the local gentry. "It seems that in three to five days, my case will almost come to an end, and then it will be time to try the case of Zhang's husband Liu Dagen."

Yu Youyao felt confident, so she added carbon to the stove, placed a porcelain still, poured the ground frankincense pulp water into the still, and sealed it.

The earliest stills were bronze ones, used for distilling wine.

Later, some people used gold, silver, porcelain, and iron to make distillers of different materials. The process was also improved a lot, and the efficiency of distillation and extraction was also improved a lot.

Xia Tao nodded: "The state government office has transferred the case files on Liu Dagen's death from the county government office and started investigating and collecting evidence."

Yu Youyao curled her lips slightly: "The progress of the case is faster than expected. Master Ye is really resolute and unambiguous in handling things."

Her case is not complicated, nor is it a big case. It is a piece of cake for the state government.

The key depends on the attitude of the person handling the case.

Yu Youyao took the dried rose flowers, crushed the dried flowers into powder, and repeatedly ground them into powder. After grinding, she sifted the powder into fine powder and added a few drops of Motherwort juice (lemon). The dull red color suddenly turned into a bright red.
