Chapter 308: Not Selling Love Letters, Selling Pills

Zhou Chang did not want to hide it any longer, and made a frank accusation: "Then, it is even more impossible that Brother Duan Prince deliberately asked someone to forge these letters, and then sneaked into my palace and took the opportunity to spread them, just to make fun of me."

Among the officials who came today, those who were ranked and those who were not, many were his cronies. It is possible that they cooperated with him as an exception and were able to appear and disappear like a ghost.

"What do you mean?" Prince Duan was furious, but his momentum was limited. After all, he had been "hit" and his head was dizzy. "This prince doesn't have the time for that."

"Of course there is no time to spare for forgery, but stealing is different," Zhou Chang lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear clearly, "and it also resulted in the death of a person."

"Who would do such petty thefts like you?" Prince Duan stared at Zhou Chang with his eagle eyes, showing no fear nor any trace of guilt.

Zhou Chang had already gotten the answer: "Brother Prince Duan, stealing is nothing, but I said that I killed a person, and you didn't deny it but denied stealing. Is this reasonable?"

"You..." Prince Duan was angry.

Zhou Chang had already made up his mind, and leaned down again, looking at Prince Xian, but he whispered in Prince Duan's ear: "If it has nothing to do with Brother Duan, then just pretend that I didn't say anything. Looking at the entire Lin Kingdom, besides my father, I am most afraid of Brother Duan. You have the most noble birth among us brothers, and it is only natural that you will inherit the throne in the future. By then, I will have to rely on your grace to make a living. Don't you agree?"

This is exactly what Prince Duan loves to hear, but it also hits a sore spot.

His mother was Concubine Yi, Gu. Although he was not a legitimate son, he was of the noblest birth among all the princes, but he had never been named the crown prince.

After saying this, Zhou Chang no longer looked at Prince Duan, but instead saw from the corner of his eye that Prince Xian looked unwilling.

What we want is that this pair of "good brothers" each have their own thoughts.

Having achieved her goal, she straightened up, turned around and ignored him.

By this time, the servants had already collected all the letter papers on the ground, and the four of them carried two full baskets.

Zhou Chang went over and threw the letter in his hand into the box, then ordered: "Since the top scholar has said that the handwriting was not his, and there is the test paper as evidence, then this farce is over. Burn it on the spot."

"Yes..." the servants agreed.

Then he burned the whole basket of letter papers in front of everyone.

In the middle of the process, Aunt Jing sent out another stack of food.

Zhou Chang was puzzled. The women in the central hall were basically confined inside, so rumors spread quickly and accurately. Even these pieces of letter paper were sent into the hall by unknown people.

Wen Qingyan watched helplessly as his years of hard work turned to ashes, which represented his deep affection for Yuan Qi.

The redder the fire burned, the paler his face became.

The pieces of letter paper filled with sorrow and parting, representing the vows they made to each other, are now just like the fate between them, destroyed to ashes.

He fell backwards and fainted.

"Ouch..." The thin monkey supported him, "Your Highness, I think the top scholar couldn't stand being framed like this, that's why he did this. It's a pity that there is no doctor in the mansion now."

"Hurry up and find someone to take him down to rest." Zhou Chang tried to sound caring, but it sounded forced to him.

They can all be considered victims in this matter, but after all, what did Wen Qingyan do in the three days after he passed the imperial examination? If he could have proposed marriage directly on the day he passed the imperial examination, it would not only be a good story, but also all these things that happened later would not have happened.

Wen Qingyan was carried up by two people. The skinny man pointed in the direction of the front hall and sent him down.

The rest of the crowd didn't care whether Wen Qingyan fainted or not, and they shouted to leave: "Your Highness Prince Yi, can we burn the incense now?"

"Yes, can you let us go?"

"No, there is an antidote."

"Yes, detoxification, detoxification..."

……

There was another round of shouting.

"What poison do you want to cure?" Zhou Chang looked innocent. These people had been watching him make fun of themselves for half a day, and they might even say something unpleasant to him in private. How could he let them go so easily? "You are drunk, and you need my hangover cure pills. The cure pills are one thousand taels of silver each. Wait a minute, they will be here soon."

"What, another thousand taels?"

"This, this, this..."

"How can such a thing be justified in this world?"

"What should I do?"

"Dizziness, this is not drunkenness..."

"Nonsense, of course I'm not drunk, you believe it..."

"It's just, it's too much."

"We need to submit a joint petition..."

"Yes, yes, a joint name..."

……

"Light up the remaining incense sticks and serve another round of wine." Zhou Chang smiled harmlessly, "If you don't have enough money, write an IOU and mortgage your valuables."

Alcohol can enhance the medicinal properties of the medicinal oil. I learned this from You Wan's memory.

Just as he said this, Fu Ming came back with his men, carrying dozens of boxes of inventory.

Zhou Chang kept delaying time and finally waited for Fu Ming.

Everyone knew that the "antidote" had arrived, but they still wanted to spend money on it, which made them feel very upset.

Zhou Chang even started a promotional campaign: "Everyone, the 'Bai Shen Wan' from the Four Flavors Pharmacy is one thousand taels of silver per pill. It is a tonic that not only helps with hangovers, but also nourishes yin and strengthens yang. It is suitable for both young and old. If you can take it for ten days or half a month, you can extend your life by three to ten years. In addition, we have a bowl of the newly launched 'Shen Xian Yu Lu', which can help you get rid of hangovers immediately, but it also costs one thousand taels of silver per bowl. You can choose one or both, and you are welcome to patronize us."

Fu Ming was puzzled and asked quietly in the back: "Your Highness, these pills can all be called 'Bai Shen Wan', but where do we get the 'Shen Xian Yu Lu'? I haven't prepared any."

"You'll have it later." Zhou Chang winked at Fu Ming and patted his shoulder. "Don't waste the 20,000 taels of silver. It will all come in handy tonight. How to solve the jar of medicinal oil? That's the 'Immortal Jade Dew'."

"Oh..." Fu Ming immediately understood and rubbed his hands excitedly.

Not only did we clear out the inventory backlog at one time tonight, but there is also great potential for future business.

Everyone was helpless and all looked sad.

If you've already been "poisoned", it's fine if you don't admit it.

Now I have to spend one thousand and two taels of silver to buy some hangover remedy.

It was a huge loss to attend this wedding.

While thinking this, his hands unconsciously began to search up and down, preparing to take the silver to buy the antidote and quickly leave this damn place, Prince Yi's Mansion.

Zhou Chang's idea was purely spur of the moment. He really wanted to make some money by selling one thousand taels of silver per piece of letter paper, but he was concerned about Yuan Qi's good reputation.

Now that she had done this, these people wouldn't dare to gossip about her behind her back easily. She also sold the pills and made a lot of money without giving anyone any handle to her. So why not do it?

Zhou Chang took one last look at Prince Rong, who was slumped in his chair, and told Zhong Yu, "Mr. Zhong, please keep an eye on him. Just give Prince Rong a bowl of water."

"Yes, Your Highness, don't worry." Zhong Yu didn't expect this result and was very relieved.
