Chapter 907: The Unlearned Young Master 8
Chapter 907: The Unlearned Young Master 8
"It was that kid. I don't know how he broke free from the ropes. He waved his hand and threw the powder when we weren't paying attention. Then we were knocked unconscious by the powder."
These words were spoken by the two minions that Lan Chen asked to come over from Rong Sheng.
Those two minions were Yuchi Hong's men. They had just arrived in the capital. All we knew was that they had kidnapped Master Jingci and wanted to use Master Jingci to threaten the emperor in exchange for the cold-avoiding rhinoceros.
He had no idea of the identities of the other three people they kidnapped, otherwise he would have used Princess Luo Xuan as a threat instead of continuing with the plan to have Master Jingci write a letter for help.
The minion didn't know Yun Yi, so there was no need for him to lie.
After getting their confessions, Mei Peng took more than ten portraits, including portraits of Yun Yi and Luo Xuan in men's clothing, for them to identify.
The two people who were detained separately both pointed out that the person who spread the drugs was Yun Yi.
After Rong Sheng left with the army, Mei Peng's men returned to the villa and searched carefully.
Sure enough, I saw some residual medicine powder on the ground in a corridor. I carefully collected some of it and asked the doctor to identify it carefully. I found out that it was indeed a medicine that could cause people to fall into a coma.
Moreover, the efficacy of the powder is much better than the drugs available on the market. It does not need to be taken orally, and one can fall into a coma by just inhaling some through the nose.
How could Yun Yi, a young master from a noble family, have a drug with such potent effects?
Mei Peng glanced at Yun Yi, who was galloping away on his horse, and suppressed the doubts in his heart.
-
After walking for dozens of miles on the first day, the caravan found an inn to rest.
Yun Zhi was in a bad mood because of Jiang Zixiao and stayed in the carriage on the road.
After settling down in the inn, she went back to her room to rest early, and Yun Yi did not disturb her.
Just as he was about to walk around, Mei Peng's servant came to him and said that Mei Peng wanted to drink and watch the moon with him.
Drinking? And watching the moon?
In the original owner's memory, his uncle was not a person who loved elegance.
Why do you think of drinking and appreciating the moon at this time?
Yun Yi followed the servant to the backyard of the inn. The moon was high in the sky, and the moonlight filled the entire yard, making it extremely bright.
The moon was indeed beautiful, but the person who invited him to admire it was already drunk and lying on the table.
"uncle?"
Yun Yi stepped forward and called out tentatively, but Mei Peng remained lying on the table, unmoved.
Suddenly, Yun Yi noticed the white powder scattered on the table.
Is that... a drug?
It was a highly effective drug that he personally mixed, and he only used it on the minions who were guarding them in the other courtyard.
How did you get here?
Yun Yi glanced at Mei Peng who was still lying on the table, his eyes moving slightly.
Is his uncle really just a businessman?
"You know these powders."
Seeing that Yun Yi didn't make any sound or move, Mei Peng sat up, looked at him and asked, "Yier, where did you get this medicine powder?"
Mei Peng looked at Yun Yi's face in front of him, which was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar. Although this child he had watched grow up since he was a child was unwilling to study, he was not a bad person.
But if he had this drug, he could knock anyone out and make them do whatever they wanted.
Once a person has extraordinary abilities, even the kindest person will have his or her bottom line lowered little by little.
Mei Peng didn't want to see Yun Yi reach the point of no return.
"This medicinal powder...I mixed it myself." Yun Yi blinked and said truthfully, "I saw the recipe in an ancient book and spent a few days researching it to make this medicinal powder."
"Uncle, where did you get this powder?"
Mei Peng ignored Yun Yi's question and continued, "Did you really choose this? I didn't know you had such a talent for medicine?"
Yun Yi nodded vigorously. "I do have a talent for medicine. Uncle, you haven't answered me yet. Where did you get this powder? I remember I only used it on those Hu people."
"You don't need to worry about where I came from. Since you said you made it yourself, then make some more."
Mei Peng took Yun Yi to a pharmacy. He did not ask Yun Yi to write down the prescription. Prescriptions are not long and can be memorized.
Watching Yun Yi prepare the medicine himself, one can tell from his technique and familiarity with the herbs whether he is lying or not.
In addition to Mei Peng, he also specially found someone in the caravan who was very proficient in medicine to follow him.
Yun Yi was seen holding the small scale in the pharmacy, skillfully selecting herbs and then weighing them.
It's just that his movements when putting all the herbs into the mill to grind them were a little clumsy.
This is normal. He is a young man from a wealthy family, not a handyman in a drug store. It is good enough that he can use those tools. It is impossible for him to be very skilled at it.
"Uncle, in addition to the powder, I also prepared a bottle of golden wound medicine. It's not enough to bring back the dead, but it's almost enough. Please take a look."
An hour later, Yun Yi brought two bottles of medicine powder to Mei Peng.
Mei Peng poured the powder on his hands and looked at it carefully, but he didn't dare to breathe casually, for fear that he would accidentally inhale the drug and knock himself out.
"Your father worked so hard to get you to study and pass the imperial examinations, but he never expected you to be a medical genius."
It was impossible for the teachers Yun Wen found to teach Yun Yi these medical knowledge, so he had to learn it by himself.
He was able to make unprecedented prescriptions by himself at the age of sixteen, which shows that he was extremely talented.
"Of course, my father has buried my talent." Yun Yi raised his chin proudly.
"But fortunately, my uncle discovered my potential. Why don't you go talk to my father after we return to Beijing tomorrow and ask him not to let me take the imperial examination anymore. Let me travel around and be a doctor who saves lives."
Yun Yi's little thoughts were so obvious that Mei Peng could see them at a glance.
Being a doctor who saves lives is fake, the real purpose is to travel around and have fun.
"Don't even think about it. The world outside is not as fun as you think." Only a naive young man would think that he can roam freely in the vast world outside.
Mei Peng handed two bottles of medicine powder to the people behind him and asked them to study it carefully to see if there were any undiscovered side effects of the medicine powder.
"Uncle, don't go. You haven't told me yet how did you get this powder? Have you found the villa where we were kidnapped?" Yun Yi caught up with Mei Peng and continued to ask.
"Whose villa is this? They are so bold that they even dare to kidnap Master Jingci."
"Uncle, do you think the government can catch those people?"
Yun Yi kept asking questions one after another, but Mei Peng chose not to answer any of them and let him continue asking.
He just wanted to know that Yun Yi did not learn bad things from others and did not use the powder to do bad things.
As for his own affairs, he must not reveal any of them to others.
Mei Peng didn't know that even if he didn't say it, Yun Yi had already guessed the nature of his true identity.

Author's note: The plot in the previous chapter about a woman disguising herself as a man for the imperial examination was a big problem, so I deleted and revised the previous chapter. I would like to ask my friends to read it again so that the plot can be better connected. Thank you~~~
