Yuelu Academy is actually not far, just need to go up the mountain, Ah Hu took less than half an hour to ride there.
He found Jiang Youzhi from the academy, and the two shared a horse, quickly reaching ho.
Yun Jiao was sitting under the silk window reading a book.
The silk on the window was a kind of silk called Bishui Gauze that Jiang Youzhi found for her from the neighboring silk shop. This silk was extrely expensive, but covering it on the window fra made it dreamlike, beautiful, and allowed breeze and light through, making it very pleasant.
The silk door was also made of this material.
She was reading when she heard a tapping on the window.
From inside looking out, she only saw a shadow swaying, not clearly seeing who it was outside. Yun Jiao got up, opened the door, and found it was Jiang Youzhi.
"So late, why did you co back?"
Jiang Youzhi softly said, "I have sothing to tell you, co with ."
Yun Jiao followed him to the backyard.
Upon entering, she saw Lin Shuo and Ah Hu were both there.
Seeing Yun Jiao co in, Ah Hu went out to keep watch, and Lin Shuo smiled and explained the situation.
Yun Jiao’s expression changed, "So, you’re saying they’ve already obtained the formula for Liuwei Dihuang Pill?"
Lin Shuo nodded, "I’m afraid so."
"I specifically got Brother Jiang back to discuss together what to do about this."
He thought for a mont, "Why don’t we report it to the governnt!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Jiao looked at Jiang Youzhi. She was now sowhat used to letting Jiang Youzhi make decisions; his mind was sharp and his considerations thorough.
Jiang Youzhi slowly shook his head, "Reporting to the governnt is useless."
"First of all, you don’t have evidence that they stole the secret formula."
"A secret formula, you have to have a formula first, right?"
"Strictly speaking, they didn’t steal this formula, they figured it out themselves."
"I heard that the Lord Prefect of Xiang City, although skillful, has his principles for judging cases. It’s hard to win a case like this without evidence."
Lin Shuo said, "Even if they guessed the formula, they probably made the pills, haven’t we found pills already? Can’t that count as evidence?"
Jiang Youzhi shook his head, "Even if the two dicines are identical, on what grounds do you claim it as your secret formula?"
"Couldn’t it have been passed down from their ancestors, or sothing they thought up themselves?"
Yun Jiao bit her lip, "What to do then, even though I’m not really concerned about this formula, I still feel unhappy about them stealing my things with such despicable ans."
Jiang Youzhi thought for a mont, "No rush for now."
"These two must be using aliases."
"We don’t even know their real identities yet, the first step is to find out who they are."
After a pause, Jiang Youzhi added, "Haven’t you joined that dical Association?"
"The governnt might not be able to handle this, but can the association?"
"Tomorrow, I’ll first inquire if the association has handled this type of matter before."
"Once we understand this, and find out these two’s backgrounds, we’ll decide what to do."
Lin Shuo gave Jiang Youzhi a thumbs up.
Although the problem wasn’t solved yet, San Lang acted calmly and thodically, making people feel reassured.
Yun Jiao thought for a mont. She rembered that the association’s charter ntioned regulations about not using improper ans to steal others’ secret formulas.
But regulations are regulations, implenting them is another matter.
She nodded, "Then let’s do as you said."
"What about Zhou Shaoping and Master Chen?"
