Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

After getting rid of Shen Fugui, Jiang Yin finally arrived at the clinic without any obstacles.

The boy in the clinic knew her and, seeing that she was looking for their old doctor, he quickly invited her to the backyard.

It rained last night, but the sun came out today. The backyard of the clinic was full of herbs drying in the sun, and there was an old man with white hair sorting them out.

Jiang Yin bowed respectfully and said, "Doctor Ge."

Hearing the voice, Doctor Ge stopped what he was doing, turned around, wiped his hands casually and said, "I heard that Miss Jiang wants to see me to look at the tea trees and soil?"

He raised his hand to signal Jiang Yin to sit down, and then continued: "Come on, let me take a look. However, I can't guarantee that you can see it clearly."

"Of course, Dr. Ge, don't worry." Jiang Yin smiled and handed over the wrapped tea branches and soil with both hands, saying respectfully, "Thank you, Dr. Ge."

Ge’s Clinic is the largest clinic in Yazhou City, and the owner, Dr. Ge, is also recognized as the best doctor in Yazhou City.

That's why she went straight to Ge's Clinic.

If even Doctor Ge can't figure out what kind of poison is here, then it's impossible to figure out what's poisoning somewhere else.

Doctor Ge took the thing and put it on the table, then began to study it carefully.

Jiang Yin looked at him calmly as he smelled, pinched, and poked with a silver needle.

Finally, he got up and went back to the house, took out some tools and potions, apparently to test for poison.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "You are too late. This tea tree is in a critical condition and cannot be saved. The soil can be saved, but I don't know whether it can recover. We can only leave it to fate."

When practicing medicine to save lives or saving anything else, the worst thing to do is to make too many promises.

Besides, he had never saved the tree or the soil, so he couldn't tell whether it was easy to cure.

"Doctor Ge, do you know what kind of poison this is?" Jiang Yin was a little excited and a little complicated, but she still suppressed these complicated emotions and said, "Also, do you know the approximate time of poisoning?"

If she knew these bits of information, she would have an idea for conducting a targeted investigation and would not be completely in the dark and at a loss as to where to start.

"It's ash tree powder and concentrated salt water." Doctor Ge did not keep the suspense, but explained slowly, "Ash tree, as the name suggests, has the power of invasion. Around it, no other plants can survive.

On the other hand, concentrated salt water is extremely destructive to the roots of plants. If you use these two together, your tea trees and soil will be ruined."

These two things are both fatal to plants. When they are combined, the damage is even worse.

Jiang Yin's face was extremely ugly. She clenched her fists and continued to ask, "I wonder if anyone else has come to see Dr. Ge to look at tea trees or soil, or to buy ash tree powder?"

She thought it was a very difficult poison to cure, but she didn't expect that Doctor Ge could figure out the cause in a short time.

Obviously there are doctors in Yazhou who can save the tea trees, but why haven't they solved the problem in Mengshan yet?

Doctor Ge stroked his beard and said, "I understand what Miss Jiang means, but maybe no one else is to blame for this. I don't have any ash tree powder for sale in my clinic."

He paused and continued, "I went to the capital a few days ago, and only returned to Yazhou these two days. In addition, I learned about the harm of the ash tree by chance. If it were an ordinary doctor, I'm afraid he wouldn't know the reason."

This means that the ash tree powder is not produced by Ge's medical clinic. Very few people know about this thing, and ordinary medical clinics probably don't have it either.

The reason why the old mansion didn't ask him to see the patient was because he was not in the clinic at that time.

Due to a variety of coincidences, the current situation has become what it is now.

After hearing what Doctor Ge said, Jiang Yin's complexion improved a little.

She stood up and bowed, saying, "Please, Doctor Ge, prepare some antidotes. I will reward you handsomely when the job is done."

Since the problem was with the elm tree powder and concentrated salt water, she would water the poisoned tea trees more.

Perhaps the problem could be remedied by diluting the concentrated salt water and washing away the ash tree powder.

"Based on the tea tree branches that Miss Jiang brought, I'm afraid this tea tree is really beyond saving." Doctor Ge sighed, "However, we can prescribe some medicine and try to restore the soil.

Otherwise, given the current state of the soil, no matter how many tea trees are planted, the end result will be death.”

It's a pity that such a good tea tree has become like this.

He glanced at Jiang Yin and sighed again in his heart.

This person is also a person with a hard life. The current chaotic world is not easy. As an orphan girl inheriting such a large family business, whether she can keep the family business is another matter, but whether she can save her life is the real question.

Jiang Yin bowed again and thanked him, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Doctor Ge."

She had the same idea. If the tea trees couldn't be saved, then the soil could be saved.

But even if it can be saved, the soil is severely damaged and I am afraid it will never be as good as before.

When she plants new tea trees, she still has to spread some clean soil on them to avoid any accidents.

Jiang Yin waited for Doctor Ge to prepare the medicine and bought some other medicinal materials before leaving the clinic.

Just now, while chatting while dispensing medicine, Doctor Ge revealed that he discovered that the oak tree had this effect when he was young, and there was another doctor beside him.

The doctor's surname was Qi Mingshan. Qi Shan was Doctor Ge's junior fellow student.

After that, both of them tacitly agreed not to mention it again, and never thought of revealing it to anyone.

However, Doctor Qishan was far away in Guanzhong and had never been to Chengdu Prefecture, let alone Yazhou.

Doctor Ge's meaning was very clear. Doctor Qi was not the murderer. The real murderer was someone else.

On the way back, Xiao Luo looked around and saw no suspicious people, so she approached Jiang Yin and whispered, "Madam, the tree doctor over there is named Qi."

Both doctors have the surname Qi, so there must be some connection between them.

Of course, the possibility of coincidence cannot be ruled out.

Jiang Yin lowered his eyes and said, "Let's go back first. Don't reveal what happened today. As for these medicines, if anyone asks, just use the words we said in the clinic just now."

When she was at the clinic just now, she asked Doctor Ge to help her. If anyone came to inquire about her, she would say that she was exhausted and frightened recently, so she came to get medicine.

As for the matter of the ash tree powder, she chose not to mention it.

First of all, if this matter gets out, I'm afraid more people will use this method to do bad things.

Secondly, she didn't want to alert the enemy before the murderer was caught.

Also, concentrated salt water.

If the entire hillside of her Jiang family's Liangfeng Tea Mountain, such a large area, had been irrigated with concentrated salt water, this would not be a simple matter.

Salt has always been controlled by the government, and you can't buy as much as you want.

Therefore, I am afraid that the issue of private salt is also involved.

She needs to think about this matter, and perhaps ask the government to intervene.

Either the Tea and Horse Bureau intervened to investigate the tea mountains, or provided clues to Li Ji.

She lowered her eyes in thought and decided to take a long-term approach.
