My transformed system is poisonous

Beef can only come from farm cattle, and slaughtering young farm cattle is a first-class felony in the laws of the Qianyuan Dynasty.

Those farm cattle that died of old age or accidents were basically recycled by the government, and there was no sign of beef at all in ordinary restaurants.

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

If he is found to have slaughtered cattle privately, he will not only be imprisoned, but he may even be exiled.

So this sentence about ten pounds of beef really shocked many people, and the surroundings were a little noisy for a while.

Shi Lan didn't know the inside story, so he was just a little disappointed when he saw the waiter's reaction.

The flesh and blood essence contained in beef must be much higher than that of chicken, duck and pork...

"Where are you from? Who asked you to smear the reputation of Manxiang House?"

The well-built old shopkeeper walked out from behind the counter with a serious look on his face.

Several handymen came around at the same time, looking unkind.

Shi Lan frowned and was confused for a while. She just ordered a dish, so it was okay if the dish couldn't be served. Why did she still have such an attitude?

Seeing that Lao Hongtou and Ah Qi looked wrong, and after glancing at the other people in the restaurant, Shi Lan realized that maybe she had ordered the wrong dish?

"Let us take these people who are spreading rumors and causing trouble to the government office, and the truth will come to light naturally."

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

"What happened? Who are you trying to get out of the government office?"

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

The leader is a white-faced middle-aged man who is about forty years old and has a beard. He is wearing a brocade robe with black background and embroidery. He looks calm and dignified.

There were two people standing behind him. One was about twenty-three or four years old. He was dressed in blue brocade and had an indescribable aura of nobility. The other was a dark-faced man with a long breath and a silent landing. He obviously had a lot of internal energy. Insider expert.

The shopkeeper hurried forward to greet him, bowed and said: "Master Zhizhou... I made you laugh..."

After hearing the shopkeeper explain the cause and effect, the middle-aged man waved his hand and said:

"It's not a big deal. Why go to war? Maybe it was a slip of the tongue. Let these three people leave. The government office is very busy now and has no time to deal with these trivial matters."

"I sincerely obey the order of Lord Zhizhou." Naturally, the shopkeeper would not refute the noble man's face and responded respectfully.

The young man following the middle-aged man kept his eyes on Shi Lan, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

After the shopkeeper signaled the helpers to move away, he respectfully led the three of them to the private room on the second floor.

With such a mix-up, Shi Lan lost the mood to eat and left the restaurant.

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

Shi Lan didn't expect that eating meat and having such rules would make her feel an unspeakable restraint when she was already used to being free.

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

…

Manxiang Tower, in the elegant room.

"Your Highness, are you interested in that woman just now?" Shen Mingyi filled the young man's tea cup and smiled.

"Shen Zhizhou is joking."

The young man shook his head, "I have studied Taoism with my master since I was a child, and I have a little experience in the art of physiognomy. This woman just now..."

At this point, the man hesitated slightly.

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

"This woman has the potential to disrupt the world and will have a big impact on the national destiny of our dynasty..."

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, the young man laughed out loud, shook his head and said, "Perhaps I've been distracted by my recent exploration of the national destiny, and I've taken a different look."

How can a mere woman shake the fate of a country?

"Haha, it is not impossible for this woman to have an impact on the fate of the country." Shen Mingyi's smile did not diminish.

"Oh? Why?"

The man was a little surprised.

"His Highness marries her as his wife, and her mother's honor will naturally give her the ability to shake the country's foundation. I wonder if what I say is right?" Shen Mingyi joked.

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

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

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

The dark-faced man stood beside the table, looking at his eyes, nose and heart, like a sculpture.

"Why did Your Majesty want to suddenly move the capital?"

After a while of silence, Shen Mingyi put down his teacup, raised his head and said.

"Master observed the sky at night and found that the stars were shifting, fearing that there would be unrest. After opening the hexagram, he found that the dragon's energy was moving south, so he advised us to move the capital. After considering it for two days, my father gave the order to move the capital. Go ahead and survey the situation.”

"Moving the capital is a waste of money and people. It is not a child's play. Master Wuxu's weight in front of His Majesty is really unparalleled."

"With Zhenren Wuxu here, His Highness's status is as stable as a rock." Shen Mingyi pointed out: "Your Majesty can entrust such an important matter of moving the capital to His Highness, which shows that you attach great importance to 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 gastrointestinal problems. They had not eaten meat and fish for a long time and ate so many greasy things at one time, which would inevitably cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

In desperation, Shi Lan had to find an inn first, settle down the two of them, and then find a tailor shop.

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

Lao Hongtou and Ah Qi's clothes happened to be ready-made in the tailor shop, but there were none suitable for Shi Lan to wear.

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

After leaving the tailor shop with the clothes, Shi Lan went straight to the largest drug store in Qingzhou City.

Although there are still elixirs in the system's temporary storage, they are consumables after all. They will eventually be used up, and they must be open sourced separately.

Nowadays, the speed of replenishing flesh and blood essence by eating flesh and blood is too slow, so Shi Lan can only turn his attention to the medicinal materials.

However, after asking about the prices of the medicinal materials in different years, Shi Lan became even more helpless. The prices were really outrageous.

Giving up on the idea of ​​purchasing in bulk, Shi Lan only bought some basic medicinal herbs to warm the body, and then returned to the inn with two packages in hand.

…

The inn room was filled with heat and a faint medicinal smell.

"Whoa-whoa-"

Shi Lan sat beside the wooden bucket and stirred most of the water in the bucket. After testing the water temperature, he glanced at Ah Qi who was holding his collar, a little embarrassed, and said:

"Take off your clothes and get in."
