Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Chapter 457: No More Qiuzui

Doctor Hong looked solemn after the examination.

"The injury on your leg is not serious. It can be healed as long as you rest well."

"The injury on my waist is a bit troublesome. I didn't rest in time before, and I drank alcohol to relieve the pain. I moved around without any scruples, which aggravated the injury."

“But it’s not the most troublesome thing.”

Jiang Ningwan frowned, "What's the most troublesome thing?"

Doctor Hong said in a heavy tone, "When I was giving him acupuncture just now, I found that many of his acupuncture points had lost their response. This might be the reason for his sudden weakening of his internal energy."

Jiang Ningwan was startled, "No response?"

Doctor Hong nodded, "If this continues, his martial arts skills will be completely wasted."

This made Jiang Ningwan suddenly nervous, and her back felt cold.

What was worrying was not only Liu Feng's martial arts skills, but the entire Daning army.

There was a tradition of drinking alcohol to relieve pain in the Xuanwei Army, and Liu Feng was not the only one who drank alcohol.

"Call all the shopkeepers immediately!"

Soon, after all the shopkeepers arrived, Jiang Ningwan solemnly said, "Is there any left of the Qianqiuzui I gave you earlier? Send back all the rest!"

"No one is allowed to drink this wine anymore!"

Hearing this, Old Shen's face changed. "What's wrong with this wine? I already have an old customer who ordered this wine from me."

Jiang Ningwan immediately replied, "There's something wrong with this wine. Anyone who paid for it should get their money back. We won't do business with Qianqiuzui!"

Jiang Ningwan was firm in his attitude, and everyone realized that the problem was serious, so they had no choice but to nod in agreement.

After they left, they had the remaining Qianqiuzui sent back that day.

The next day, Jiang Ningwan arranged for some soldiers who had drunk Qianqiuzui to go to Huichun Hall for treatment.

It was discovered that they all had similar conditions, but not as serious as Liu Feng's.

They were prescribed medicine to regulate their bodies and were told not to drink Ru Meng Zui again.

She wrote down the names of these people in a booklet, asked Ren Tiankuo to pay special attention to them, and record their daily training performance.

I observed it like this for half a month.

Through the treatment of decoctions and medicine, the conditions of most people have improved, and their performance in daily training has become better and better.

But there was one of them named Chengcai, whose health was deteriorating day by day, and daily training became difficult for him.

He alone of all people showed no improvement.

Jiang Ningwan took him to Huichun Hall again.

When Doctor Hong used acupuncture to stimulate the vital acupuncture points, he felt no pain at all. This made Doctor Hong sigh, "This is even more serious than Liu Feng's condition."

Jiang Ningwan frowned and asked, "Are you still drinking Ru Meng Zui?"

Cheng Cai's eyes dodged for a moment, feeling very guilty, "I... I..."

Jiang Ningwan's tone turned cold. "I told you that alcohol is forbidden in the army, and you still dared to drink? You ignored my words, didn't you?"

Cheng Cai panicked and knelt before her, "General Jiang, I was wrong. I know I was wrong!"

“But I really can’t quit!”

Cheng Cai burst into tears, his eyes red. "If I don't drink, I will keep thinking about it. I feel weak all over. I have no energy to do anything and I feel confused."

"Just two sips and I'll feel refreshed!"

Jiang Ningwan felt a chill down her spine and asked, "How much have you drunk in total?"

"I haven't counted them, maybe 20 or 30 pots..."

Jiang Ningwan shook her head in disappointment, "It's because you keep drinking that I can't quit!"

"You will live in Huichun Hall for the next month and are not allowed to go out. When you have quit, you can return to the barracks."

"Otherwise, you will be subject to military law!"

In order to prevent Chengcai from drinking secretly, they found a room in the backyard of Huichun Hall and locked him up there. They provided him with medical treatment, meals and medicine every day.

In the first two days, Chengcai was very honest.

But three days later, he began to find ways to sneak out and even bribed Dr. Hong to give him some alcohol.

After the fourth day, she started clamoring to see Jiang Ningwan and begged Jiang Ningwan to give her another sip of drink.

Listening to the increasingly painful wails in the yard, Jiang Ningwan sat behind the desk with a solemn expression.

Doctor Hong also sighed and said, "The harm of this wine is greater than we thought."

“It’s amazing how addictive it is.”

"When I went to treat him, he looked completely different from the first day."

Jiang Ningwan spoke slowly: "The Qingsong Chamber of Commerce is from Liyang, and Rumengzui is also from Liyang. It seems that this matter is related to Liyang."

Liyang is the fief of Prince Rong. I wonder if this wine has anything to do with Prince Rong.

It seems necessary to ask Qin Huaizhao for help.

That night, she told Qin Shuangchi about Qianqiuzui, and then the two of them went to visit Qin Huaizhao together.

Everyone was already familiar with each other, so Jiang Ningwan went straight to the point, took out Qianqiuzui, and explained the situation.

Qin Huaizhao was a little surprised after hearing this, "Is this wine addictive?"

Jiang Ningwan nodded. "If consumed long-term, it will cause one to lose all martial arts skills. This wine has been popular in the military for some time, and the harm it has caused can be imagined."

"So I came to you to find out, does Prince Rong know about the existence of this wine?"

Qin Huaizhao frowned and shook his head, "I really don't know about this. My mother didn't mention it the last time she came."

"Well, I'll write a letter and ask."

"If this alcohol was so harmful, my father would have stopped it."

The next day, Qin Huaizhao wrote a letter home.

But there was no time to wait for a reply from Li Yang.

Manager Dong from Qingsong Chamber of Commerce came again to inquire about cooperation.

In the past half month, he has urged four or five times.

Doctor Hong had always made excuses to get by, but this time he couldn't handle it anymore.

Jiang Ningwan could only disguise herself to meet him.

Dong Qi's face was sullen. "Is this deal even possible? The boss should at least give me a reply, right? Why is he dragging me along all this time?"

Jiang Ningwan said helplessly, "I've been busy lately and haven't had time. Please forgive me, Manager Dong."

But this did not calm Dong Qi's anger. "Has the boss considered this? We have already shown our full sincerity!"

Jiang Ningwan thought for a moment and said, "I see your sincerity, but our Qianqiu Trading Company has its own rules. We will only cooperate if we are absolutely sure everything is safe, so it will take some time."

"Isn't Manager Dong very confident in Qianqiuzui? There's no need to rush."

"As long as our company arranges everything, your wine will surely become famous and renowned throughout the world! There's even a chance it can be sent to the palace!"

"I'm sure I'll make a ton of money by then!"

Jiang Ningwan made the promise very confidently.

The Qingsong Chamber of Commerce trusts them so much. They must be moved when they hear her words, and they should calm down. After all, the purpose of doing business is to make money.

But there was no joy on Dong Qi's face, instead there was a sense of nervous urgency.

Then he asked, "How long do we have to wait?"

Jiang Ningwan said, "About ten days or half a month. We've made all the arrangements upfront and can just sell in bulk. We won't have to worry about it later."

But Dong Qi got anxious when he heard this, "Ten days or half a month? No way!"

"We can't wait that long."

"If the boss can't arrange it within three days, then we may not be able to cooperate. We, Qianqiuzui, will find someone else to cooperate with."
