Inside Lin Kee Pharmacy.

Li Xiao was welcomed in.

"Little baby, what medicine do you want?"

The old man looked at Li Xiao with a wretched smile.

"What do you have here?" Li Xiao looked around and said lightly.

There are many counters in the room, with some herbs and bottles and jars on them, which are different from ordinary pharmacies.

The old man smiled obscenely: "Hey, as long as you can afford the price, you can get any kind of medicine."

"Well... To be honest, my family is in business, so it's fairly rich."

Li Xiao thought for a while and said: "Although I am the eldest son, I still have a few smart younger brothers. I am a little worried that they will divide my family property in the future, so I want to ask if you have any medicine that can make my younger brothers Slowly turning into idiots?"

"This kind of medicine is not easy to get!" The old man frowned and shook his head, looking embarrassed.

Seeing this, the corners of Li Xiao's mouth turned up, he threw a tael of silver over casually, and said, "That means, there is this kind of medicine?"

The old man took the money and said with a smile on his face: "It is true, but the medicine is not cheap."

Li Xiao threw out another ingot of silver.

"Hey, I didn't expect the young master to be so reasonable. I'll help you out! Let's do this. You will bring 100 taels of silver to pick up the medicine in three days."

The old man smiled wretchedly, patted his chest and said.

"Three days? Can you make this kind of medicine?" Li Xiao thought thoughtfully.

"Naturally, my name as Doctor Lin is not just for nothing. Does anyone know this Changle Square?" The old man chuckled and said proudly.

"Lin Youde said you were selling fake medicines." Li Xiao said flatly.

"You bastard, why are you talking nonsense about this..."

"Let's be honest, where are you going to get this medicine? I'll give you another ten taels of silver to buy the news."

"Hehe, little baby, you are refreshing, but have you ever thought about it, what can you do if I don't give you the medicine?"

The old man showed a sinister smile and stared at Li Xiao disdainfully.

But the next moment-

"Shh!"

A gleaming white sword was placed on his neck in an instant.

"Who!"

The old man trembled all over, his eyes were swollen, and his face was terrified...

Chapter 29: Slapping Lu Deming in the Face

Qin Wangfu.

Li Xiao and Li Junxian returned to the courtyard.

At this moment, Li Xiao was frowning, with many thoughts in his mind.

In the Linji pharmacy, he and Li Junxian managed to extract some information from the old man through some tricks.

And the medicine he asked about really exists.

But the old man didn't make it himself, but bought it from another place.

Storm Tower!

Fengyue place.

The largest sales treasury in the capital is also the permanent place for those dudes.

Some merchants who traveled from south to north often appeared here.

Who would have thought that the underground black medicine market in the capital was actually built in a brothel.

Li Xiao did not rush to the Wind and Rain Building.

Because he knew that to be able to afford the largest brothel in the capital, there must be a good background behind it.

And this is the key to his pursuit of the enemy. Before he is fully prepared, he doesn't want to startle the enemy.

Who is going to kill him?

Is it his good brothers, or someone else?

As long as the forces behind Fengyulou are found out, Li Xiao believes that everything will be revealed.

"Uncle Li, if the god-armed crossbow from my father's side arrives, remember to let me know." Li Xiao said thoughtfully.

As long as the god arm crossbow is made, it will be the time for him to go to the wind and rain tower.

"Yes, son!" Li Junxian nodded.

……

In the next few days, Li Xiao didn't go out again, but stayed in Prince Qin's mansion obediently.

Studying the Four Books and Five Classics in the morning and the art of war and martial arts in the afternoon is actually just dawdling.

On this day, Li Xiao wrote a line, deliberately made the paper old, and asked his servants to spread a rumor that he had Wang Xizhi's authentic handwriting.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the study hall, Li Tai couldn't wait to come over.

"Brother Xiao, it is rumored everywhere in the palace that you have the authentic calligraphy of Wang Xizhi, is it true or not?"

"No, no, no, how can there be such an extinct thing, how can I have it?"

Li Xiao held a piece of paper in his hand and quickly shrank back.

"Still hiding it? I've seen it!" Li Tai said with contempt on his face, "Brother Xiao, you are not being kind. With this treasure, how can you not let Fourth Brother open his eyes?"

"Fourth brother, you misunderstood, I really don't have one."

Li Xiao had a wry smile on his face, but his hands were tightly covered.

All of this was seen by Lu Deming at the door.

The arrow wound he suffered before was a flesh wound, and after being treated by the imperial doctor, he could go to the ground in a few days.

"cough~cough~"

Coughing twice, Lu Deming walked in with his hands behind his back.

Everyone immediately sat upright and stopped whispering.

"Li Xiao." Lu Deming said blankly, "I heard...you have the authentic calligraphy of Wang Xizhi?"

Li Xiao smiled wryly when he heard the words, and waved his hands again and again: "Master, don't listen to rumors, there is absolutely no such thing! There is absolutely no such thing!"

"There is no wind in the hole. If there is no such thing, how can there be a lot of rumors in the house? Such treasures should be brought out. It is better to be happy alone than to be happy alone, don't you think?"

Lu Deming smiled and said kindly.

"Really not. As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. That's how the rumors came out."

Li Xiao tightly covered the paper in his hand, while smiling wryly.

Li Tai gloatly pointed at Li Xiao's hand and said, "Nonsense, Brother Xiao, I've seen it all! If not, you should show everyone what's in your hand."

"Yeah, Brother Xiao, show it out for everyone to see, and I won't snatch you." Li Ke also said with a smile.

"Well, I'm really afraid of you."

Li Xiao looked helpless, and then took the paper in his hand to the desk.

Lu Deming walked over immediately, with a little excitement on his face.

For people like them in the literary world, Wang Xizhi's authentic works can be regarded as rare treasures.

It's like a martial arts practitioner seeing a legendary magic weapon.

This obsession comes from the bottom of my heart.

At this time, not only Lu Deming hurried over, but also Li Chengqian and others surrounded him in an instant, all looking curiously at the paper on Li Xiao's desk.

Lu Deming picked up the worn-out paper and studied it carefully for a while, then his eyes flickered, and he murmured: "It's really Wang Xizhi's authentic handwriting! Great calligraphy! Great calligraphy!"

"Forehead……"

The corners of Li Xiao's mouth twitched, but his heart was already filled with joy.

Where is the authentic work of Wang Xizhi?

It's just that he wrote it himself on the spur of the moment, but the paper is deliberately worn out.

"Young Master Xiao, where did you get this authentic painting?" Lu Deming looked at Li Xiao excitedly.

"Master, you must have made a mistake, right? Isn't this the real work of Wang Xizhi?" Li Xiao said tentatively.

"No way!"

Lu Deming shook his head, and then said: "This old man has written countless scriptures and commentaries in his life, and it's not like I haven't seen the original work of Wang Xizhi before. How can I make a mistake? Yours is clearly the original work, so there is absolutely no mistake!"

"Are you sure?" Li Xiao asked again.

"Of course I'm sure. I don't know if Mr. Xiao can lend this authentic work to the old man for a day so that the old man can study it carefully."

"If master wants it, then take it! This thing is worthless to me, and I can have as much as I want."

"You still have?!" Lu Deming was a little shocked when he heard that.

"Yes, this is not an authentic work by Wang Xizhi at all. I wrote it. Of course, I can have as many as I want." Li Xiao said casually.

However, upon hearing this, Lu Deming chuckled lightly and said, "Young Master Xiao, don't be joking, how can your handwriting be compared with Wang Xizhi's authentic handwriting."

Hearing this, Li Xiao was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he immediately picked up a pen and wrote a line on the paper.

"Let's see, master, is it the same?"

Li Xiao picked up the toilet paper and said lightly.

When Lu Deming saw it, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe it. Then he took out the "authentic work" by Wang Xizhi and carefully compared it with the straw paper in Li Xiao's hand.

But no matter how he looked at it, the two pictures were almost exactly the same.

The only difference is how worn the papyrus is.

Li Tai was also dumbfounded at the moment, not understanding what was going on.

"This...how is this possible?"

At this moment, Lu Deming has some doubts about life.

"Master, do you still remember the first time we met, you judged that my handwriting was not elegant, but now why do you mistake my handwriting for Wang Xizhi's authentic handwriting?" Li Xiao smiled lightly.

"you do this delibrately?"

Lu Deming was not stupid either, he thought of everything in an instant, and his expression turned ugly.

"Why on purpose?" Li Xiao sneered, "Master, I have made it clear from the beginning to the end that I do not have the authentic work of Wang Xizhi, and you must read it just now. After reading it, you still justify yourself. How can you blame me?"

"Humph!"

Lu Deming snorted, and said in a cold voice: "Now it seems that Wang Xizhi's authentic handwriting is indeed flawed, and I guess the old man made a mistake."

"Okay, you are a master in the literary world, what you said is right." Li Xiao shook his head and chuckled.

"Brother Xiao, you really wrote this yourself?" Li Tai looked at Li Xiao in shock.

Li Xiao chuckled: "Does it look the same as the real thing?"

Li Tai gave a thumbs up and said, "Amazing! Brother Xiao, Fourth Brother has a trick for getting money, I don't know..."

"Don't even think about it!"

Li Xiao understood as soon as he heard it.

This Li Tai probably wanted to lure him into making fake money and selling money. How could he agree to such a thing that violated his conscience?

Even if he wanted to do it, he could just do it himself, why bother to give Li Tai the money?

Suddenly, the voice of the system sounded in my mind.
