Chapter 895 - 895: No Creation Without Breaking

As soon as the news was out, there was another uproar in Xiangping City.

Under the instigation of some people, the commoners all thought that the Bai Residence was trying to curry favor with Yue Fei and escape punishment. They were even more furious.

The next day, Huang Wenxian and General An Yuan went to the Bai Residence.

In front of Huang Wenxian and General An Yuan, the Bai couple counted the Bai familys wealth and handed stacks of banknotes to Huang Wenxian.

After the family assets were handed over, Old Master Bai and Madam Bai

suddenly felt like the dust had settled, as it they had resolved a worry in their hearts. The uneasiness and fear they had been feeling for the past few days were all settled.

Seeing that they were still sensible, Huang Wenxian said, “The Princess asked me to send a message to the two of you. The Bai Residence has worked with the Han Clan for many years, and the stakes are endless. The Bai Residence used Liu Dagen’s death to bite the Bai Residence tightly. It’s the best situation. There’s a saying that there’s no making without breaking.”

Old Master Bai’ s expression changed.

Princess Shaoyi’s meaning was very clear. The Han Clan would not let the Bai Residence off easily. If they could not deal with the Bai Residence using Liu Dagen’s case, they would definitely make a move elsewhere.

The Han Clan and the Bai Residence had been working together for many years. Just as the Bai Residence had a lot of information about the Han Clan, the Han Clan also had information about the Bai Residence.

This was because those weaknesses were more or less related to the Han Clan and were disadvantageous to them. For the time being, the Han Clan would not harm anyone. They had chosen the People’s Relief Hall, which had nothing to do with the Han Clan. They could also take this opportunity to target Princess Shaoyi and kill two birds with one stone.

The Bai Residence had suffered a heavy blow because of Zhang Dagen’s case. This was the best outcome.

At the very least, Liu Dagen’s death was not related to the Bai Residence.

As long as Princess Shaoyi kept her promise and cleared the Bai Residence, there was still a chance for the Bai Residence to make a comeback.

Huang Wenxian continued, “The worse the situation of the Bai Residence now, the more innocent the Bai Residence will be when the grievances are resolved.

The series of preferential activities by the Bai Residence will become a form of repentance. The donation will also become a show of goodwill. The Bai Residence’s actions of identifying the Han family will also become the abandonment of the dark and joining the light.”

Madam Bai t s eyes lit up even more. Since Military Advisor Huang was willing to say this, it meant that the King of the North had decided to accept the Bai Residence’s donation.

General An Yuan also said, “As the saying goes, it’s good to learn from your mistakes. The more you do now, the better the Bai Residence’s future situation will be. The Bai Residence has suffered a huge loss from this calamity. Take it as a lesson. I hope that from now on, you can really follow kindness and establish your trust.”

Old Master Bai was extremely excited. He bowed. “I’ve learned.”

As soon as Huang Wenxian and General An Yuan left, the state government office sent troops to surround the Bai Residence. The bailiffs dispersed the commoners blocking the entrance of the Bai Residence. They knocked on the

door of the Bai Residence and summoned the Bai couple into the government office.

In Liu Dagen’s case, before there was new evidence, the Bai couple had been summoned to court for trial as suspects.

The case progressed like fire.

The donations from Madam Huang and General Ning Yuan also spread like fire. Although the commoners were poor, they were enthusiastic and straightforward. If they had money to donate, they would also step forward to support their own fields. During the farming season, the commoners were not too busy. The nearby villagers even spontaneously organized the villagers to go up the mountain to pick medicinal herbs to donate.

Medicinal herbs for preventing an epidemic, such as crow-dipper, mugwort, angelica, Cang Zhu, and so on, were all common medicinal herbs.

The medicinal herbs donated by the Xie Residence and the Bai Residence were also sent to Longcheng one after another. As the medicinal herbs and spices under Yu Youyao’s name were more complete, some commoners were organized to quickly make all kinds of incense medicine to avoid the epidemic day and night. The Jade Pavilion also made all kinds of incense recipes to be publicized to the commoners through official notices.

The commoners could pick herbs and make the incense themselves.

Using these incense medicine often could also have the effect of preventing illnesses in daily life.

Some commoners were surprised to discover that some of the mild cold symptoms they experienced had actually healed in two to three days because they had used incense medicine that was meant to avoid the epidemic.

When they went to the pharmacy to ask around, they learned that most prescriptions for avoiding the epidemic had the effect of correcting filth, cleaning the air, and dampening the air.

It only took a little time to reduce their illnesses, save on the cost of medicine, and save on the loss of work due to illness. Why not?

It had to be known that the North was short of supplies to begin with, and the price of medicinal herbs was not low. Many commoners could not afford medicine.

For a moment, the fragrance of incense spread throughout Xiangping County and the surrounding small counties. It even showed signs of spreading.

It was as if the Jade Pavilion was on fire,

Even Yu Youyao couldn’t help but sigh with emotion when she heard about this. “If it weren’t for the fact that those prescriptions were all recorded in the ‘Heavenly Fragrance Records’ and various incense books, and they were all very rare prescriptions, I almost would have thought that Sister Bai Kui and Sister Qing Xiu had found someone to put on a show to build momentum for the Jade Pavilion.”

The Jade Pavilion made all kinds of incense medicine to prevent and treat the illnesses of the refugees. From a righteous standpoint, they had established a good business image.

Publicizing the incense prescription was beneficial to the people.

The incense prescription was really effective. This indirectly showed the strength of the Jade Pavilion.

Chun Xiao couldn’t help but laugh. “The incense prescription in your hand is all good stuff that was passed down after fierce competition. Only you don’t take it seriously. If it were anyone else, they would definitely hide it for their own benefit.’

Putting aside those incense prescriptions, the medicinal herbs and spices used were all common.

However, Chun Xiao knew that the more brilliant a doctor was, the simpler the prescriptions they would prescribe, and the more ordinary the medicinal herbs they would use. For example, Uncle Sun had studied many prescriptions himself. Most of the medicine he used was limited to ten medicinal herbs.

Even for more complicated illnesses, there would not be more than 20 herbs.

It was the same for incense medicine.

The medicinal herbs needed for the Tianze Incense Pill and paste oil that Young Miss had developed had gradually condensed into more than 30 types from the initial hundreds of herbs. Fewer spices and medicinal herbs were used, and it was also simpler.

Not only did it reduce the cost, but the effect was also better.

Yu Youyao chuckled. “There’s always a limit to an individual’s strength. Only by making the commoners take it seriously can we achieve true prevention. Don’t think that just because the refugees have been settled down, there won’t be an outbreak of the epidemic.”

Chun Xiao was stunned for a moment. “Isn’t that so?”

Yu Youyao shook her head and explained, “The refugees fled to Liaodong.

Along the way, they starved and froze, and their bodies were in bad shape. Now that the disaster hasn’t really passed, they’re all holding on. When they settle down and have food, they’ll relax. Once their breath is released, many people will fall sick. Their illnesses will be contagious to a certain extent. It will spread, and ordinary colds will evolve into a warm plague.”

Some of the incense medicine used to prevent the plague could expel filth and ward off evil. Some could aid in warming and unblocking yang energy, and some could prevent illnesses and nourish the mind. Coupled with some medicine from the government to prevent the epidemic, the effect was immediate.

This was medicinal treatment..
