"well!"
Gu Cheng was overjoyed. My mother is completely healed now and has an appetite to eat.
He pushed open the door and shouted: "Come here, hurry up and make porridge, lean meat porridge! Hurry! The old lady wants porridge!"
The doctors who were waiting outside the door heard this.
Could it be the old lady?
They didn't care anymore and rushed into the room. Then they saw the rosy-faced old lady really open her eyes! !
"This is impossible!"
A doctor seemed to have seen something incredible and exclaimed loudly.
"Oh my God, bringing the dead back to life is such a magical method!"
"How is this possible? How on earth is it done?"
"In my whole life of practicing medicine, Fang Yun has never seen such a clever method."
Others didn't know, but the doctors present were all shocked.
Actually using a method to put medicine into the body through a needle, it can really bring the elderly back to life?
Even Li Shizhen's grandfather, Li Kefang, was stunned.
Amazing, so amazing! !
This is a brand new treatment method, a brand new means of treating diseases.
This young man is really a strange person, with extraordinary medical skills! ! !
If you can learn it, you can save countless patients.
"Plop" sound.
Li Shizhen's grandfather, Li Kefang, knelt down directly in front of Li Xiao, kowtowed and said, "Master, please accept me as your disciple!"
Seeing this scene, other doctors also kowtowed:
"Please, Master, accept me as your disciple."
"Take me, take me!"
"When I was an apprentice, I could take care of my master!"
"Old man, you can't do it. When you were an apprentice, you kidnapped all the master's daughters. You should let me do it."
"You fart and slander others. That's true love. Accept me as your disciple. I am willing to give up my family fortune."
Everyone was fighting for it and almost started fighting.
Bang bang bang——
Everyone kept kowtowing and competing with each other, as if whoever could smoke the loudest would have the chance to become Li Xiao's apprentice.
Bang bang bang——
Bang bang bang——
The foreheads of these old men soon turned red.
Ah this
Li Xiao was speechless.
Why do people keep kowtowing to me recently?
Good guy!
What a great guy!
These old men are too crazy.
It seems that if I don't accept a disciple today, this group of people will not give up.
"By the way, I need someone behind me to help me take care of the Fengyoujing and safflower oil industries."
"It's not impossible to accept a disciple."
"In that case, let's accept Li Shizhen's grandfather as our disciple."
Li Xiao thought like this and coughed.
"Ahem!"
The group of doctors immediately became quiet and looked at Li Xiao expectantly.
"You seem to have businesses locally, right? Some have medical clinics, and some have opened pharmacies?"
All the doctors nodded.
Li Kefang raised his body and said: "I am a wandering doctor. I have no property, no children, and am alone."
Li Xiao stared until Li Kefang spoke.
Childless?
This is not possible!
If you don’t have a baby, how could Li Shizhen be born?
You’re fifty and still haven’t had a baby?
Don’t you know that there are three reasons for being unfilial and having no descendants is the most important?
You are real skin!
Li Xiao pointed at Li Kefang and said: "It's just you. You have nothing to worry about and can just learn medical skills from me. I still have many wonderful ways to save the world and save people."
"There is still a wonderful recipe. Master is here, please bow to me as a disciple."
Li Kefang immediately knelt down and worshiped, fearing that Li Xiao would regret it.
The other doctors suddenly felt like deflated balls.
"Hahaha, okay, today really opened my eyes. Heroes don't care about youth, heroes don't care about youth!"
Gu Cheng held up his hands and congratulated: "Congratulations to Mr. Xiao on getting a disciple with excellent medical skills. He will definitely benefit the world in the future."
Li Xiao nodded noncommittally: "Of course!"
My husband is so awesome. Now, Zhu Ningyun admired her husband even more!
Lu Zhen and Ji Gang on the other side were dumbfounded.
They don't know medical skills, so they don't have the shock shown by those doctors.
It just feels a little incredible!
what's going on?
? ? ? ?
There are ten thousand question marks in Ji Gang's mind.
The miracle doctor he brought with him suddenly became this young man’s apprentice?
At the same time, Ji Gang also kept Li Xiao in mind. If anyone in the royal family has a serious illness in the future and the hospital cannot treat it, he can recommend this person.
If it can be cured and recommended successfully, it will definitely be a great achievement.
At this moment.
The servant came in with lean meat porridge.
Gu Cheng quickly took it and fed the old mother porridge himself.
Although Gu Cheng was a rough man, he looked after his mother with tenderness. After blowing the porridge to cool down, he gently put it into his mother's mouth with a spoon.
After finishing the porridge, Gu Cheng's mother was obviously in better spirits.
"Son."
"Why."
Gu Cheng's mother said: "Although mom couldn't open her eyes just now, she heard everything you said to each other."
"mother"
"Is there any corrupt officials here in Texas? My mother has lived here for decades and has known for a long time. The people here are living a hard life. Corrupt officials bully others. Although they dare not bully our family, the people are deeply affected by it. The phenomenon of haphazard tax collection has always existed."
Li Xiao was stunned, there was indeed such a situation of arbitrary tax collection.
I encountered it as soon as I got off the boat.
Unexpectedly, Gu Cheng's mother was still a sensible person.
Gu Cheng's mother said: "These two are good officials sent by the emperor to investigate the case. You have to help them. They are here to help Dezhou punish corrupt officials. We are also working for the emperor, so we can't just sit back and ignore them."
Hear this.
Lu Zhen and Ji Gang's hearts beat faster.
I originally thought this matter was over, but I didn't expect that Li Xiao saved the old lady. The old lady, who had lived in Texas for decades, spoke up for this matter.
It is true that there is no way out of mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark flowers and bright flowers!
"mother"
Gu Cheng nodded: "When mother asks, my son will do it and catch all the corrupt officials in Texas!"
When the mother spoke, how could he, as a son, not obey her?
"Okay, okay. If you can do something good for the people of Texas, your mother and I will die without regrets."
"Mom, you live well and your son will stay with you well."
With that said, Gu Cheng stood up, looked at Lu Zhen and said, "Brother."
"Brother!" Lu Zhen was extremely excited.
"I have two hundred elite soldiers here, and I will lend them to you to solve the case. However, this matter must be carefully planned before taking action. You must not make another mistake, otherwise no one can bear the consequences."
Gu Cheng warned.
"Thank you so much, bro!"
Both Lu Zhen and Ji Gang were overjoyed.
After saying that, Lu Zhen looked at Zhu Ningyun, the Princess of Yong'an, and said, "There must be more than a dozen good players there."
This Lu Zhen is indeed an old fox.
I thought that this matter would be easier to handle if I dragged the princess into the water.
Li Xiao saw through the old fox's thoughts at a glance, and immediately took Zhu Ningyun's hand and said:
"Hahaha, we still have important things to do, so we won't get involved in this matter."
The husband sang and the wife followed, and Zhu Ningyun nodded: "We do still have some things to do."
Lu Zhen: "It's my fault that the official has taken the liberty."
"It's getting late today, so let's say goodbye first!"
Li Xiao pulled Zhu Ningyun to run away to avoid getting into trouble.
"My benefactor, don't leave. Stay and let Gu entertain you well."
Gu Li immediately tried to persuade her to stay, how could she let the princess and her benefactor just leave like this?
"No, no, next time."
Li Xiao walked up to Gu Chengbian and said softly: "General Gu, it's better to stay with your mother. This medicine can only last for a while. Cherish this time."
The implication is that his mother is not completely recovered, but can only live a little longer.
Even so, Gu Cheng was very satisfied.
"Thank you. Gu will definitely repay this kindness in the future."
Gu Cheng held Li Xiao's hand and said.
That's it.
Li Xiao took Zhu Ningyun out of the mansion and walked towards the inn.
By the way, he also brought along a new disciple, Li Kefang.
Li Xiao felt that this trip was worth it. With this apprentice, he could cure all major and minor illnesses in the future.
After all, his medical skills come entirely from high technology, mainly antibiotics.
Some diseases are better treated with traditional Chinese medicine.
Moreover, this apprentice can help him manage the medicinal materials business in the future.
It was already dark and dizzy.
When Li Xiao returned to the inn, he found that he had not even eaten a meal, and his hungry stomach growled.
Li Xiongzhi had already prepared meals and was waiting at the inn.
"Brother-in-law, how come you have been visiting for so long?"
Zhu Gaoxu saw Li Kefang in front of Li Xiaoshen and asked, "Who is this?"
"The new disciple." Li Xiao said.
"I'm Li Kefang, Mr. Li's new disciple. I've met you all."
Li Kefang cupped his hands.
"apprentice?"
Zhu Gaoxu frowned, looking disgusted.
Because this Li Kefang was dressed in rags and was no different from a beggar begging on the street.
Li Xiao smiled and said: "Gao Xu, don't underestimate my new disciple, he is a miracle doctor."
Li Kefang quickly excused himself: "Master, this is impossible. I am not a miracle doctor, you are!"
"Miracle doctor?"
Zhu Gaoxu stared at the two of them, Zhang Er couldn't figure out what was going on.
He looked at Zhu Ningyun for answers.
Zhu Ningyun explained with a smile: "We just happened to go to the mansion of Gu Cheng's mother. His mother was seriously ill and none of the doctors present could cure her. It was your brother-in-law who cured her. This Li Keconveniently became your brother-in-law's teacher. "
Li Kefang cupped his hands and said, "Master's true medical skills are extraordinary. It is truly a blessing to be able to become my disciple!"
hiss.
Zhu Gaoxu took a breath of cold air.
Fortunately, he was his brother-in-law. He saved Gu Cheng's mother as soon as he went out. What a great trick!
"Alright, brother-in-law, hurry up and eat."
Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the food: "You must be hungry, hurry up and eat. We have eaten all the food prepared for you."
"Um."
Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun sat down to eat, while Li Kefang stood aside and swallowed.
"Disciple, why don't you sit down and eat together?" Li Xiao greeted.
"Don't dare."
Li Kefang waved his hand quickly. No matter how stupid he was, he could still see that the identity of the master was not ordinary, and the identities of this group of people were also ordinary. How could he dare to make a mistake?
Li Xiao called Li Xiongzhi again and said: "Xiao Zhi, go prepare food for my apprentice, and bring him to change into better clothes. Being my apprentice must be dignified. In addition, let him sleep in the same room with you at night. Well, you have to take care of each other."
"okay."
Li Xiongzhi walked to Li Kefang and said, "Old Li, come here and I will prepare a meal for you."
To be honest, Li Xiongzhi is quite happy.
He has been following Li Xiao for a long time.
Strictly speaking, he was one of Li Xiao's, just like a retainer, but he was the only one.
Now I finally have a companion.
"This is impossible."
Li Kefang looked flattered, "Absolutely no, I'm here to honor the master, how can I accept the favor of the master?"
Li Xiao laughed, looked at Li Kefang and said, "You want to learn my medical skills, right?"
Li Kefang nodded sheepishly.
Li Xiao continued: "If you want to learn my medical skills, you have to do things for me first. To be honest, I need to open a pharmacy. I am short of manpower now, and you know medical skills, so you are perfect. Give me five years to manage the pharmacy first." , I will teach you medical skills in five years."
Li Xiao thought to himself that in five years, when Li Kefang was asked to leave, he would kneel down and beg himself not to drive him away and trick him into working for him first.
Li Kefang was overjoyed. He only needed five years of work to get that magical medical skill?
You know, when I became a disciple when I was young, if I wanted the master to teach me Taoism, I would have to serve him for twenty years!
This is great!
Although I am used to traveling around, isn't it just to find herbs and get prescriptions?
"Li Kefang is willing! He will do his best to help the master manage the pharmacy!"
Li Kefang agreed immediately.
Li Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, you won't suffer any disadvantages when you become my apprentice, and I will also give you wages."
"What? And wages?"
In this day and age, it is natural to work as an apprentice for free, and Li Kefang simply couldn’t believe it.
Li Xiongzhi laughed and said, "You are so lucky. Brother Xiao never treats others badly."
"That's right, I won't treat anyone badly when I work with Li Xiao."
Li Xiao took out a piece of paper from his chest, which contained the formula of Fengyoujing. He handed it to Li Xiongzhi and said, "Xiaozhi, you have work to do now."
Xiaozhi was overjoyed when he heard there was a job.
Now that he has nothing to do all day long, he feels embarrassed.
"This is the formula of Fengyoujing. I didn't give it to you before because you don't know the medical skills. Now that Li Kefang is working with you, you two should study it carefully and get a sample for me to see first."
Li Xiao ordered.
"Okay, we'll get it done!" Li Xiongzhi took over the task.
Fengyoujing?
Li Kefang suddenly became curious.
Li Xiongzhi carefully put the formula into his arms, looked at Li Kefang and said with a smile: "Let's go, we will be partners from now on. I will take you to dinner first, and then change clothes."
That's it.
Li Xiao handed over the matter of Fengyoujing to Li Xiongzhi and Li Kefang.
Speaking of which, they are all named Li.
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Ningyun on the side were both surprised.
Zhu Ningyun said: "Xiaolang, have you developed the formula of Fengyoujing?"
"Yeah." Li Xiao nodded.
"Wow! My brother-in-law has been playing and fighting all the way. He has a lot of business to do."
Zhu Gaoxu said with admiration: "Gu Cheng must be grateful for saving Gu Cheng's mother this time. The formula of Fengyoujing has also been developed. It's amazing!"
"If I'm not great, how can I be your brother-in-law?"
Li Xiao chuckled.
The two of them ate their food and chatted wordlessly.
Li Xiao suddenly asked: "By the way, second child, where is third child?"
"Hey, that's right, where is the third child?"
Zhu Gaoxu also suddenly discovered that Lao San was missing, and he couldn't help but cursed: "Lao San, this kid, I don't know what he did along the way, Lao Wan disappeared."
actually.
The third child, Zhu Gaosui, took the opportunity to send a secret report to his father.
He wrote to Zhu Di about Li Xiao's pressure cooker, Dongpo Pork recipe, and economic theory.
In Dezhou, there is Ye Bushou sent by Zhu Di. If you give the letter to Ye Bushou, it will be delivered to Zhu Di soon.
At the same time, when Zhu Gaosui went out to handle this matter, he found that their ship had been requisitioned.
"Arrogant! Absolutely arrogant!!!"
After getting the news, Zhu Gaosui was extremely angry.
Someone actually dared to commandeer their ship?
However, Zhu Gaosui was not Zhu Gaoxu, and he did not immediately go to the Yamen to investigate.
He spent some money to secretly inquire about the information, and soon figured out the situation.
Then, he ran towards the inn.
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."
Li Xiao was full of wine and food, and happened to see Zhu Gaosui walking towards the inn, but his face didn't look good.
"Lao San, where did your kid die?" Zhu Gaoxu scolded.
"Second brother, brother-in-law! Oh no, something big has happened!"
Zhu Gaosui hurriedly came over and sat at the table. After taking a sip of water, he slammed the water glass on the table. He looked extremely angry.
Everyone was shocked and asked: "Lao San, what happened?"
Zhu Gaosui said angrily: "We can't leave tomorrow."
Li Xiao frowned: "What's going on? Tell me slowly!"
Zhu Gaosui said: "Our ship has been forcibly requisitioned and has already left the dock!"
"What!!!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked unhappy.
It was simply lawless that someone dared to commandeer their ship.
What are their identities?
The second son, third son, eldest daughter, and eldest son-in-law of King Zhu Di of Yan!
"Fuck you! Who the hell did this! How dare you commandeer our ship!"
Zhu Gaoxu slapped the table with a cold frown and stood up directly, his face full of anger.
The ten guards at the other two tables all stood up with a whoosh, looking fierce!
The other guests in the inn had never seen this battle before, and they were very frightened.
Secretly put down the money and ran away.
Although Li Xiao has a good temper, he is also angry at this moment!
Damn it, he's put up with all the fucking random taxes here, and now he's planning on hitting him on the head?
Did you just drive their ship away without saying a word?
Don’t you want to lose face?
After all, I am the eldest son-in-law of King Yan Zhu Di!
Li Xiao looked at Zhu Gaosui and said: "Lao San, thank you for finding out about this matter. Otherwise we would all be kept in the dark. Who commandeered our ship?"
Zhu Gaosui said: "We have found out. It is the local county government. I found out that it was the person who collected the ship tax that day. He brought a group of people on our ship, and then the ship sailed away directly."
"Damn it, I'm going to let him walk around without food!"
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he was furious and stood up directly: "Brothers, go to the county government to meet them!"
"Yes!" Ten guards stood up one after another.
"Wait!"
Li Xiao immediately stopped him. It was definitely not a wise move to rush to the county office like this.
The problem should be with that group of people.
He looked at Zhu Gaosui and said, "Lao San, do you know that the subordinate officials of the county government brought a group of people on board the boat? Who are those people?"
Zhu Gaosui said: "This is not very clear, but I seem to have heard that the name of the leader of that group of people is Feng Shizi. I don't know which family he belongs to."
"Prince Feng"
Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun looked at each other and already had something in mind.
Zhu Ningyun guessed: "I'm afraid it's Feng Wen, the eldest son of Song Dynasty Duke Feng Sheng."
The words fell,
Everyone was slightly surprised.
I didn’t expect that the person who commandeered their ship had such a powerful background!
Feng Shengnai was one of the few remaining princes and was the father-in-law of Zhou King Zhu Ju.
It can be said that the power is no worse than that of his father Zhu Di.
If you want to fight against it, you have to think carefully.
Li Xiao looked at Zhu Ningyun and said, "Ningyun, what do you think?"
Zhu Ningyun said: "We go out and don't cause trouble at will, but if others bully us, if we don't fight back, we will become the prince and daughter of Yan!"
Li Xiao's eyes lit up. It seemed that Ningyun was weak on the outside but very tough on the inside.
"Sister! Well said!"
"Sister! Well said!"
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui both agreed.
Zhu Ningyun nodded, and then said: "But on this trip, we have to hide our identities and cannot come forward to do this, okay."
She looked at Li Xiao and said, "Leverage!"
At this time, Li Xiao completely understood what Ning Yun meant, and it was exactly the same as his own.
"That's right, with some help, Feng Wen already has someone to deal with him, we just need to add fuel to the flames!"
Li Xiao said this, and then explained the situation to Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoxu.
Lu Zhen and Ji Gang, who they rescued that day, were here to deal with Feng Wen.
Now, Gu Cheng is also involved. He only needs to help them get rid of Feng Wen and get the ship back.
"Ningyun, you are so smart. Without further ado, let's go to Gu Cheng's place now."
Li Xiao smiled slightly and already had a plan in his mind. He left a bug in the room on the ship, which might be put to use now.
"Okay! Let's go together."
Zhu Ningyun took Li Xiao and walked out the door.
"Wait, what about us?"
Zhu Gaoxu pointed to his nose, what? Won't you take us there?
Li Xiaodao: "Second and Third Lao, if you want to hide your identity, why don't you show your identity? Your sister and I can handle it."
"No, brother-in-law, just wait. Don't leave. I'm going to change clothes."
Zhu Gaoxu didn't agree. He had nowhere to vent his anger and couldn't sit still.
With that said, Zhu Gaojiu took Zhu Gaosui to the room upstairs.
Soon the two of them changed into a set of clothes. They wore black burlap clothes, which were exactly the same as those worn by the ten personal guards. At first glance, they looked like servants.
Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu also posted a beard.
"Well, can't you see it now?"
Zhu Gaoxu got the way.
"Gao Xu, where did you get your fake beard?"
Li Xiao was a little surprised.
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Zhu Gaosui and said, "Lao San put on a fake beard for me. I have to say that Lao San is a kid who specializes in crooked ways."
Zhu Gaosui: "."
Zhu Ningyun: "."
Li Xiao: "."
That's it.
Li Xiao ordered Zhu Gaosui to take two people to trace the merchant ship.
The remaining group of people walked toward Gu Cheng's house in a mighty manner.
Not long after, after the announcement, they entered the house.
Gu Chengcheng immediately came out to greet him, "Princess, my benefactor, why are you suddenly visiting? Please come in quickly."
After entering the house, they found that they were discussing how to deal with Feng Wen.
Lu Zhen said strangely: "Hey, the princess has brought so many people. Is this what she wants..."
Zhu Ningyun smiled and said: "Come to help you!"
Huh?
Lu Zhen and Ji Gang looked very curious. Didn't they walk very fast before?
Li Xiao laughed.
"After I returned home, I thought about it and realized that we could just sit idly by and ignore people who are so corrupt and causing harm to the country and the people."
