It was already dark when the carriage entered the city. Due to the curfew and the cold weather on the border, there was almost no one on the entire street.
Even if there are people on the road, they are just the patrol team of their Zhu family.
These people are like vultures in a mass grave, looking for various species to peck at.
However, after going around, after the Zhu family's rules were deeply rooted in people's hearts, there was no one on the whole street.
The darker the sky, the more so. This group of patrols could only lament their bad luck. At the same time, under the sweep of the storm, they decided to go back to the guard box to continue drinking and catching Pai Gow.
However, just as they were preparing to return home, they saw a carriage coming from outside the city in a hurry.
Under such a strict curfew, there are still people who dare to drive around in carriages. Isn't this looking for death? What is this?
Moreover, those who have carriages must be wealthy people in the city. If they don't get something from them, it will be a shame for them to patrol today.
A group of people looked at each other tacitly, and then the group of patrols walked over directly, and soon they surrounded the people into an iron barrel.
"Check the post!"
"Didn't anyone tell you not to wander around the streets at night?" This group of patrols didn't take it seriously, especially when they saw that there was no sign on the carriage, they became even more unscrupulous.
However, the coachman was not intimidated by them at all.
"Are you looking for death? Are you searching the car here?" the coachman warned fiercely.
However, this group of people were not afraid of this. On the contrary, they only felt that the coachman's words were very fresh at the moment.
"Little dwarf, why are you so arrogant? Why are we checking you? You are not from the Zhu family. We are checking you. If you and your master don't come down, don't blame me for being rude."
He was very unhappy when he realized that these people did not recognize him. But at this moment, he couldn't prove himself.
After all, this trip was secretly done, so he had nothing to prove.
Just when the driver was at a loss, Zhu Yuewu came out at this time.
He opened the curtain, then took out his token and showed it outside.
Some ignorant people want to scold them again. However, there are also old people in this group of people, and Zhu Yuewu has been working for his father's property all year round, so in this situation, he is more visible, so more people see him.
Therefore, after the old man recognized Zhu Xuewu, he immediately signaled the newcomer to shut up. At the same time, the old man immediately went up to him, nodded and bowed, and apologized.
It wasn't until Zhu Yuewu left completely that the newcomer asked the old man in confusion, "Brother, who is that kid? How can you apologize to him? It's obvious that he doesn't understand the rules!"
However, when the elder brother heard what the newcomer said, he did not agree with the newcomer's words. On the contrary, he just slapped the newcomer on the head.
"Silly and bold, you have to remember that face carefully. Even if you offend our governor, you can't offend that person!"
Upon hearing this, the newcomer was curious, and he immediately asked, "Who is that person? How come he is more powerful than the prefect?"
"The prefect wants face, but he doesn't want it. This is the second young master of the Zhu family. I heard that he was a bastard that the prefect brought back from outside. But now, in just a few years, this bastard is very likely to take over as the head of the Zhu family. Industry has become the next successor of the prefect."
Hearing this, the man immediately said, "Then this man is really powerful!"
"Yes, so don't mess with him, otherwise you won't know how you died."
After the newcomers received such admonishment, they naturally did not dare to say anything else.
After that, Zhu Yuewu did not return to the Zhu Mansion immediately. On the contrary, he just asked the coachman to knock on the door of a drugstore called Wanantang.
When the clerk from Wan'antang heard someone knocking on the door, he just said outside without thinking, "Our pharmacy is closed now. If you have anything to do, please come tomorrow."
Morning! "
However, no matter what the guy said, the driver didn't stop knocking on the door. Hearing that the driver kept knocking on the door, the driver suddenly became angry, "You are looking for death! Don't you know the curfew at night? If you are caught, you don't want to Live, I don’t want to die yet! Go, go! Don’t come to our store to seek death! If you want to die, go somewhere else.”
After saying that, the guy was so angry that he almost blew out the light.
However, the driver then said, "We are the Zhu family."
Upon hearing this, the waiter became even more annoyed and said, "You are the Zhu family, and I am still the eldest son of the Zhu family!"
"We are really the Zhu family. If the shop owner doesn't believe me, he can look at my token and decide whether to open the door."
Although the waiter in the shop was cursing, he didn't dare to neglect the two characters "Zhu Family". Then he immediately opened the door a crack, and then handed a token through the crack with one hand.
Once he saw the token clearly, the waiter who had been cursing suddenly fell silent.
Good guy, this is really the token of the Zhu family.
The waiter who was described as arrogant just now immediately acted like a little quail.
"It turns out it's really the Zhu family. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Then the waiter in the shop smiled flatteringly and said, "I wonder what business you have in our store?"
Faced with the waiter's flattery, the coachman only said, "Do you have any twisters?"
The waiter immediately nodded and said, "Yes! Yes! Yes!"
When the waiter at the shop told me about this thing, the driver only took out a bag of crushed bones.
When he first saw the pack of bones, the waiter was shocked. Why did the bones look so much like human bones?
"What...what is this?" the waiter asked with a trembling voice.
Facing the waiter's question, the coachman said in a calm voice, "This is an animal bone. It is a medicine. Our wife is sick and needs this medicine as a primer. We found it ourselves."
After hearing what the coachman said, the waiter breathed a sigh of relief, "That's it, okay, guest, just wait in the main room, and I'll grind it into powder for you."
With the cooperation of the waiter, the coachman didn't waste any time. He just took a seat directly in the main room. The waiter opened a blue curtain on the left and then entered the pharmacy in the inner room.
The waiter only put the bones bit by bit into the twister and then started the grinding process. However, because the twister was not big enough, it was impossible for him to pour all the obviously burned bones into the twister, so he It can only be ground little by little. During the grinding process, the waiter was still thinking silently, there are really enough bones. I don’t know what kind of large beast this must be to have so many bones.
However, before he could guess what kind of beast bones they were, the man soon discovered that one of these bones was very similar to a human finger bone.
The moment he saw that piece of bone, the man couldn't help but take a breath.
He is considered an apprentice here, and he usually only learns from the master of the medicine hall.
Although the master didn't give him a penny, he would teach them some medical skills in their spare time. This medical skill also included Hua Tuo's lost surgery. So on this basis, they would also learn about the human body from the master. Some basic knowledge, too. With this relatively complete finger bone, he immediately determined that the bones he was grinding were human bones.
Once he realized this, the guy became panicked.
And just when the guy was at a loss, the coachman who was sitting in the lobby didn't know why. He suddenly said to the inside, "Are my bones almost ready?"
When he was talking, the coachman just opened the blue curtain of the room.
I don’t know why, but the boy just hid the small finger bone in his pocket, and then said to the coachman with an embarrassed smile, "It will be ready soon."
After speaking, he only accelerated the grinding speed, and no one
He knew how scared he felt when he realized that the bones in his hands were human bones, but no matter how scared he was, he couldn't show it. After all, he couldn't control this matter and couldn't control it. If he Showing that he discovered their secret, he might be dealt with by them. You must know that this is the Zhu family.
After that, the coachman sat next to the driver, as if he was supervising the driver. The driver was naturally more panicked when he stared at him.
However, because his hands kept moving, the driver didn't notice anything unusual.
When all the bone meal was ground, the driver said to the waiter, "Okay, don't grind it, that's all. How much is the total?"
It was too late for the waiter to be afraid at this time. He just wanted to send this plague god away quickly, so the waiter said without thinking, "No money, you can leave."
The driver only felt strange. It was at this time that he noticed that the driver's lips were trembling, so he immediately asked, "Did you find something?"
As soon as the driver heard the coachman's words, he felt that his heart was almost beating out of his throat. He almost knelt down in front of the coachman. It was also at this time that he suddenly became anxious and thought, and he simply didn't want to To prevent himself from showing trembling, he was just trembling and whispered softly, "Brother, I have epilepsy. I may have been a little tired just now. I was ill. Can you help me and sit down?" Come on, I’ll just take a rest.”
Although the driver felt confused, seeing that the boy was shaking more and more violently, he did not look like a normal person. It seemed that this boy was just sick.
That's why the coachman finally helped the waiter to sit on the table beside him.
Later, in order to convince the driver that he was really ill, the waiter asked the driver to go to the counter to get some pills and put them in his mouth.
