My Transformed System is Toxic

Chapter 192 Turmoil
Beef can only come from farm cattle, and slaughtering farm cattle in their prime was a first-class felony in the laws of the Qianyuan Dynasty.

Those farm cattle that died of old age or accidents were basically taken back by the government, and there was no trace of beef in ordinary restaurants.

If someone finds out that someone is selling a large amount of beef privately, they will definitely be strictly investigated by the government.

If they were found to have slaughtered farm cattle in private, they would be jailed, or even exiled.

So this sentence of ten catties of beef really shocked many people, and the surrounding area was a little noisy for a while.

Shi Lan didn't know the inside story, seeing Xiao Er's reaction, she was just a little disappointed.

The essence of flesh and blood hidden in the beef must be much higher than these chickens, ducks and pork...

"Where do you come from? Who asked you to discredit my Manxianglou reputation?"

The well-built old shopkeeper came out from behind the counter with a serious expression.

Several handymen gathered around at the same time, their faces not looking good.

Shi Lan frowned, feeling puzzled for a while, she only ordered one dish, it's fine if it doesn't get served, why is she still acting like this.

Seeing that Old Hongtou and Ah Qi's expressions were wrong, and after glancing at the rest of the restaurant, Shi Lan realized that maybe she ordered the wrong dish?

"Let me turn these rumor-mongers to the government office, and the truth will come to light."

As soon as a handyman finished speaking, a plain question came from the side of the lobby.

"What's going on? Who is going to twist the government office?"

Following the prestige, a group of three people walked slowly into the lobby from outside the door.

The leader is a white-faced middle-aged man with a beard who is about forty a year old. He is dressed in a brocade robe with embroidered patterns on a black background, and he is calm and majestic.

There are two people standing behind him, one is about 23 or [-] years old, dressed in blue brocade, and has an unspeakable nobility on his body, the other is a black-faced man with a long breath, and he falls silently, obviously he has a lot of inner strength. home master.

The shopkeeper quickly walked up to him, bowed and said, "Lord Zhizhou...I made you laugh..."

After hearing the ins and outs of the shopkeeper, the middle-aged man waved his hand and said:

"It's not a big deal, why bother to go to war, maybe it was a slip of the tongue, let these three people go, the government office is very busy now, there is no time to deal with these trivial matters."

"I would like to abide by the order of Master Zhizhou." Naturally, the shopkeeper would not refute the nobleman's face, and responded respectfully.

The young man following behind the middle-aged man kept his eyes on Shi Lan, and his brows frowned imperceptibly.

After the shopkeeper signaled the servants to leave, he respectfully led the three of them to the private room on the second floor.

After such a stir, Shi Lan lost the mood to eat and left the restaurant straight away.

After leaving the restaurant, Shi Lan asked Lao Hong a few words before he knew where the problem with the beef was.

Shi Lan didn't expect that there would be rules like this, which made her, who was already a little accustomed to being free, feel an unspeakable bondage.

As for the white-faced middle-aged man just now, he is the magistrate of Qingzhou City, Shen Mingyi, with a good official reputation, and is quite loved by the people.

……

Manxiang Building, in the elegant room.

"Your Highness, are you interested in that woman just now?" Shen Mingyi filled the teacup for the young man and smiled.

"Shen Zhizhou was joking."

The young man shook his head, "I have been learning Taoism from my master since I was a child, and I have dabbled in the technique of physiognomy. Just now, this woman..."

Having said that, the man hesitated a little.

"What did that woman look like just now?" Shen Mingyi became curious.

"This woman has the appearance of disrupting the universe, and will have a considerable impact on our dynasty's national fortune..."

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, the young man himself laughed, shook his head and said, "Perhaps I've lost my head in exploring the fate of the country these days, and I've misread it."

How can a mere woman be able to shake the fate of the country?

"Haha, it's not impossible for this woman to have an impact on the nation's destiny." Shen Mingyi continued to smile.

"Oh? Why?"

The man was a little surprised.

"Your Highness marries her as a wife. When her mother honors the world, she will naturally have the ability to shake the country. I wonder if what I said is right?" Shen Mingyi joked.

"Shen Zhizhou be careful! Father has demoted you to this place for three years, and you still can't change your words and deeds?"

The man frowned, "The matter of the crown prince has not yet been decided, and the father is in the prime of his life, so it is too early to talk about it at this time."

Shen Mingyi shook his head with a smile, took a sip of tea, and said no more.

The big black-faced man stood beside the table, his eyes and nose and his heart were watching, like a sculpture.

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly move the capital?"

After a moment of silence, Shen Mingyi put down his teacup, looked up and said.

"Master watched the sky at night and found that the stars had shifted, and there might be turmoil. After opening the hexagram, he found that the dragon's veins had moved southward, so he advised to move the capital. After thinking about it for two days, the emperor issued an order to move the capital. Go ahead and investigate the situation."

"The act of moving the capital is not a child's play, it wastes people's money and wastes money. There is no real person, and the weight in front of His Majesty is truly incomparable."

"With Daoist Wuxu around, His Highness's position is as stable as a rock." Shen Mingyi pointed out: "Your Majesty's ability to entrust such an important matter of moving the capital to His Highness shows that he values ​​it."

The young man's eyes flickered for a moment, then he calmed down and drank tea silently.

……

Not long after Shi Lan left the restaurant, Lao Hongtou and Ah Qi had some problems with their stomachs. They hadn't touched meat for a long time, and after eating so many greasy things for a while, it was inevitable that they would feel uncomfortable in their stomachs.

In desperation, Shi Lan had no choice but to find an inn first, settle the two down, and then found a tailor shop.

There are no shops selling ready-made clothes here. If you want clothes, you need to order them in advance.

There happened to be ready-made clothes for Lao Hongtou and Ah Qi in the tailor shop, but there was nothing suitable for Shi Lan.

Shi Lan spent three times the price to get the tailor to agree to work overnight, to make the clothes she wanted first, and deliver them tomorrow morning.

After leaving the tailor shop with the clothes, Shi Lan went straight to the largest medicine shop in Qingzhou city.

Although there are still pills in the temporary storage of the system, they are consumables after all, and one day they will be used up, so they must be open sourced.

Now relying on eating flesh and blood, the speed of replenishing flesh and blood essence is too slow, Shi Lan can only shift his gaze to the medicinal materials.

However, after inquiring about the price of the medicinal materials of the year, Shi Lan was even more helpless, the price was a bit outrageous.

Giving up the idea of ​​buying in bulk, Shi Lan only bought some basic warming and nourishing herbs, and then returned to the inn with two packages.

……

Inside the inn room, there was a lingering heat and a faint smell of medicine.

"Wow-wow--"

Shi Lan sat by the wooden bucket, stirred the bucket half full of water, tested the temperature of the water, glanced at the awkward Ah Qi who was clutching his collar, and said:

"Take off your clothes and go in."
