During the dinner, Zhang told the story of why he came to meet Wang Lun and others on the order of Zhou Tong. It turned out that after Zhou Tong separated from Wang Lun and others at Xunyang Tower, he returned to the inn but did not rest, but went to the inn again. Elsewhere, he just told his disciples to leave a message to Wang Lun.
After Zhou Tong came out of the inn, he went directly to Zhang Shun's residence. However, although Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng were brothers, they did not live in the same place. Zhang Heng lived at the riverside dock and was in charge of a group of fishermen. He went out to fish, while Zhang Shun lived in the city and was in charge of the fish market in the city.
When Zhou Tong arrived at Zhang Shun's home, Zhang Shun was overjoyed to see that it was Zhou Tong who was visiting.
It turned out that Zhang Shun and Zhou Tong had known each other for a long time. The fathers of brothers Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng had been greatly favored by Zhou Tong and treated Zhou Tong as his eldest brother. Zhou Tong also lived in the Zhang family for a while.
Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng practiced martial arts at home when they were young. Zhou Tong also gave these two brothers some guidance in his spare time, which benefited them throughout their lives.
That night Zhang Shun hosted a banquet at his home to entertain Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong also explained his intention to Zhang Shun and wanted to take Zhang Shun's boat across the river to the north tomorrow. Zhang Shun readily agreed.
While Zhou Tong and Zhang Shun were reminiscing about old times, the disciples of Qilin came to report that Wang Lun and others had caused great trouble by killing the youngest son of Jiangzhou magistrate Cai Jiu in Jiangzhou City. Now Wang Lun and others They had already left the city overnight and were preparing to go to the fisherman's wharf in the north of the city to find a boat to cross the river and wait for Zhou Tong at the wharf.
Seeing that something unexpected happened and the situation was already very urgent, Zhou Tong was afraid that Wang Lun would not recognize Zhang Heng, so he went to borrow a boat late at night, which would probably lead to a misunderstanding, so he asked Zhang Shun to take the waterway and rush to the fisherman's wharf to meet Wang Lun immediately. et al.
Because Zhou Tong had other things to do in Jiangzhou, he decided not to cross the river with Wang Lun and others for the time being. After the affairs were completed tomorrow, Zhang Shun would send someone to send him across the river, and then go to Jieyang. Zhen met Wang Lun and others.
Wang Lun and others listened to Zhang Shun's explanation and knew that Zhou Tong had other affairs, so they felt relieved. They chatted and laughed with Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng for a while, and then went to the cabin to rest. Wang Lun and others spent the night running around. , they were all tired, and they all fell asleep in a short while while the ship was rocking gently.
Jieyang Town is located in the northwest direction. The big ship sailed upstream, cutting through the waves all the way to the other side.
The sky was dimming and the ship had arrived at the north bank of the Xunyang River. Wang Lun and others had a good night's sleep and were already full of energy.
Zhang Shun, Zhang Hengheng and Wang Lun explained the location of Jieyang Town, and told Wang Lun that they were good friends with the Mu brothers in Jieyang Town. When they arrived in Jieyang Town, all they had to say was that they were introduced by the Zhang family, and the Mu brothers would be well received. , then he said goodbye to Wang Lun and others, and took a boat back by himself, while Wang Lun and others found a way to rush to Jieyang Town.
After walking a few miles, we saw a large town. In front of the town gate was a stone tablet with the two characters "Jieyang" engraved on it. It was the town of Jieyang that we had arrived.
As soon as Wang Lun and others entered the town gate, they saw three to four hundred people gathered in the main street of the town. The people were noisy, shouting and killing, as if they were asking someone for an explanation.
Siblings Xiao Wu and Xiao Hu were always good people, and now they were joined by Zhao Yun, who was also not sober. Seeing that there was a lot of excitement in the town, how could they let them go, so they immediately rushed forward with three horses. Went forward, separated from the crowd, and squeezed into the middle, wanting to see how lively it was.
Wang Lun and others were curious and squeezed in, only to see hundreds of people surrounding seven or eight people, and these seven or eight people formed a small circle to protect the person in the middle.
At this time, hundreds of people gathered together, everyone was noisy, and it was difficult to hear what they were saying. Wang Lun watched for a long time before he realized that the person surrounded by everyone was a doctor, and the seven or eight people protecting the doctor It's the doctor's assistant.
This doctor was supposed to go to Jieyang town to treat people, but for some reason, instead of curing the patients, he actually cured them badly. The people in the town felt that this man must be a quack doctor. To cheat is to kill one's life for the sake of wealth, so the public was furious and wanted to beat this quack to death.
But the seven or eight people who protected the doctor seemed to have unusual identities. Although the people in the town shouted to kill, no one dared to actually come forward to take action. If so, they would let the quack doctor go. The people in the town had deep feelings in their hearts. Unwilling to give in, the two sides reached a stalemate for a while.
Wang Lun looked at the doctor who was surrounded, and saw that the doctor was very young, only in his mid-twenties, with short lips and a very delicate appearance.
At this time, he was surrounded by excited villagers, but the young doctor who was surrounded was very calm. He had his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky, looking confident and unconcerned.
Wang Lun looked at the doctor and thought to himself, the disciples of Qilin Sect said that the miracle doctor An Daoquan had arrived in Jieyang Town, could this young man be An Daoquan?
But there are rumors in the world that the miracle doctor An Daoquan is an unborn miracle doctor. No matter how difficult or incurable the disease is, as long as it comes into the hands of An Daoquan, the disease can be cured. But it has never been heard that An Daoquan has made any mistakes. How come you actually cured people today?
Is the rumor in the world untrue, or is there some misunderstanding, or maybe this person is really a fake, but looking at the current situation, no matter what, we must first find a way to help him get out of the predicament, and then find another opportunity Find out.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, Brother Mu is here." The crowd was making a lot of noise, and suddenly someone shouted loudly, and then a dozen big men separated from the crowd and walked in.
The leader was a big man, who was also in his mid-twenties, tall, round-waisted, and powerful. He wore a silk waistcoat, revealing two arms that looked like cow legs, with two green dragons tattooed on the shoulders and arms.
At this time, the big man's face was full of anger, his big eyes seemed to be spitting out fire, he stared straight at the young doctor, and cursed: "Where did this bastard quack doctor come from, how dare you come to our town of Jieyang to harm people.
The people in my town respect your reputation as a miraculous doctor and regard you as a savior. Everyone pooled their money to treat you, but unexpectedly you hired a disaster star. Do you know how many people in this town have been harmed by you? You can't even think about leaving Jieyang Town today. I'll definitely beat you up and send you to the official after you let out such a bad breath. "
The big man became more and more angry as he spoke. He punched and tried to move forward. Several people who were protecting the doctor took a step forward. One of them stood in front of the big man, cupped his fists and saluted, "Brother Mu, please be patient." , please have something to say."
The big man seemed to know that the identities of these people were not simple. He swallowed, clasped his fists and said: "Friends of the Qilin Sect, this matter has nothing to do with you. You also know what happened yesterday, just because you heard that he is a miracle doctor. , so I asked him to treat my father.
Our brothers invited him to our home, served him good food and wine, treated him like a distinguished guest, and even rewarded him with a lot of money. Who knew he was a charlatan? Last night, my father took the medicine he prescribed, and he was fine at night. Who would have thought that this morning, my father Suddenly there was a severe pain in his abdomen, and he was rolling on the ground in pain. Soon he fainted and saw that his life was not saved.
How can such a harmful quack doctor let him go and let him continue to harm people? Today, for the sake of several friends of Qilinmen, we will not harm his life. We only ask a few friends to get out of the way and let us take this quack doctor to the government. . "
The people of Jieyang Town wanted to bring the doctor who had failed to treat the disease to the official, but they were blocked by the disciples of the Qilin Sect. The crowd was furious for a while, and a group of villagers shouted and cursed, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
However, Wang Lun probably understood the reason. It turned out that many families in this town had family members who were sick, so they invited this doctor to see a doctor. They all took the medicine prescribed by this doctor last night, and they were fine at night. But just this morning, all the patients suddenly suffered from abdominal pain like cramps. They were all so painful that they were about to die from the pain.
Therefore, a group of villagers thought that they had encountered a deceptive quack doctor and wanted to bring the quack doctor to justice. However, several disciples of the Qilin Sect stopped the villagers, and then they had a conflict with the villagers. The father of the second brother Mu It's the same situation, so I want the Qilin Sect disciples to hand over the quack doctor.
The Qilin Sect disciple saw that more and more people gathered around him, and the people's emotions became more and more excited. He couldn't help frowning, but he still shook his head and said: "Second Brother Mu, we brothers are serving as masters. The order is here to protect Doctor An. The order is like a mountain. No matter what, we cannot let Doctor An go wrong in our hands.
I have just asked my junior brother to rush to Jiangzhou City to deliver a message to the leader. I believe that the leader will give an explanation soon. At that time, I will definitely give an explanation to Brother Mu and the people in Jieyang Town. "
Second Brother Mu said impatiently: "How long will it take to wait?"
The disciple of Qilin Sect frowned and said nothing, but Doctor An, who had been silent until now, suddenly said: "Second Mu, is your father dead?"
Wang Lun was stunned when he heard this, wondering if there was something wrong with Dr. An. Wouldn't this add fuel to the fire? This man's temper was really weird.
"You bastard, what did you say?" As expected, as soon as these words came out, Brother Mu immediately became furious. Veins protruded on his forehead. He couldn't help shouting and scolding. He no longer cared about the Qilin Sect and jumped towards Doctor An. Rush away.
Wang Lun saw that he was going to be in trouble. Once a conflict broke out, it would be difficult to deal with it. Just as he was about to step forward to stop him, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Second brother Mu, don't be rash. Let him speak clearly first."
Then two people rushed out from the crowd and hugged the second brother Mu tightly. Another big man separated from the crowd and walked out. I saw this big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a red face and a steel beard. He was in his mid-twenties. , holding his head high and showing extraordinary magnanimity.
The two people hugging the second brother Mu were twin brothers. They were short and strong, very agile, and their movements were extremely fast. They cooperated very well. The two hugged the bear-like second brother Mu. This second brother Mu Unable to struggle at all.
Second Brother Mu looked back at the big man and said, "Brother Li, why are you here too? How is Li Li?"
Brother Li did not answer Brother Mu's question, but went straight to Doctor An, cupped his fists and said, "May I ask, sir, what was the purpose of your words just now?"
Doctor An did not answer Brother Li's words, but asked: "Is your brother Li Li not dead?"
Brother Li was very wealthy and was not angry at all. He just smiled and said, "Mr. Youlao, I am worried about you. My younger brother is not dead yet. He is just like Taigong Mu. This morning, as soon as he had breakfast, he felt cramps and pain in his abdomen." I almost feel like fainting. I came here just to ask, sir, are these symptoms considered normal?"
"It's almost time, wait a little longer." Doctor An nodded, looked up at the sky again, and then stopped talking to Brother Li, and instead stood with his hands behind his back, minding his own business, and stopped talking.
"Thank you, sir." Brother Li frowned and didn't say anything else. He just cupped his fists and bowed to Dr. An again, then stood aside to wait for him.
At this time, the twin brothers had also let go of Brother Mu. Brother Mu looked at Brother Li and opened his mouth to speak. Brother Li winked at him. Brother Mu had no choice but to shut up, but he still felt suffocated in his heart. Then he walked around on the ground.
Wang Lun secretly observed these people and thought to himself, according to the Water Margin, the only two brothers named Mu in Jieyang Town who have such prestige are Mu Hong and Mu Chun. The second brother Mu should be here. It’s Mu Chun.
This red-faced man named Li is very dignified. Both Mu Chun and the doctor An said that he has a brother named Li Li. It seems that this man must be the gangster Li Jun. As for the twin boys, he must be Li Jun. Tong Wei and Tong Meng are brothers.
