At this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty completely understood.
What caused Zheng Xiong's misfortune was the chicken that Lao Zhu killed to scare the monkeys.
What you do with this chicken directly sets the standards. In the future, those who drink, those who are late, and those who do not follow the procedures and seek personal gain with power will have to carefully consider.
Originally, if there was another person in this complicated court, he could have some trouble with Lao Zhu, but Zheng Xiong didn't have any friendship with everyone, so he couldn't help him even if he wanted to speak, so he could only quietly Watching Lao Zhu perform there.
At this point, Lao Zhu used Zheng Xiong to complete this warning to civil and military officials.
This meeting was successful, successful, and thought-provoking, except for Zheng Xiong of course.
When the final verdict came, Zheng Xiong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The loss is a bit big, but it is still within the bearable range. The title is a reminder, so it would be better if it is gone.
Moreover, my basic base is still there, and the territory I manage is not large, but I still say the same thing.
Life at home is pretty good, with a little money and a lovely wife by his side. This kind of life is a luxury for most people.
Besides, under Lao Zhu, the world is unified and there is no chance of causing trouble. It is a good thing to live a stable life.
Although I have put a shackles on myself now, it is easy to solve. With the memory of future generations, it is easy to increase food production by doing it casually.
After figuring out the key points and settling his affairs, Zheng Xiong said directly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Wei Chen is feeling a little uncomfortable now. His butt feels bad. I hope Your Majesty will allow Wei Chen to go home to recuperate."
As soon as Zheng Xiong's words came out, the corners of Lao Zhu's mouth that were still slightly raised immediately disappeared.
This sounds a little unpleasant to the ears, what does it mean that the butt is not good.
Just ten boards, Lao Zhu knew in his heart that no one would die.
Although there will be some sequelae without timely treatment, it is not necessary to go home to recuperate.
It’s okay to go to work even though you’re injured. Looking back on the past, there are countless examples like Zheng Xiong’s.
How could such a delicate body exist?
After all, times have changed, and so have young people.
As an emperor, it is inevitable to think too much.
However, thinking that I had indeed gone a bit too far, my attitude softened a lot.
"Then go back! Remember that this should serve as a warning. If you do it again in the future, you will not be leniently spared."
"You should also keep this in mind and do not break the law."
Everyone knew who Lao Zhu was speaking to and agreed with Lao Zhu's meaningful warning.
"Please keep this in mind."
Zheng Xiong got Lao Zhu's permission and exited the hall.
Under the warm sunshine, Zheng Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling like he was surviving a disaster.
Zheng Xiong, who was faltering, walked out of the palace with a groan under the gaze of the officials in the square.
The street was crowded with people. Zheng Xiong looked around blankly. He couldn't walk back in his current body.
He could only find a carriage and take him back to Huimin Pharmacy to treat his wounds.
At the North Branch of Huimin Pharmacy, Zheng Xiong slowly got off the carriage.
At the entrance of Huimin Pharmacy, many civilians who got up early to get medicine are waiting in line.
Zheng Xiong's appearance of covering his butt and weird hairstyle attracted everyone's attention at first.
But after a while, everyone stopped paying attention.
Ever since Zheng Xiong got his hair cut, this kind of hairstyle is no longer a rare thing, and he has to dress up in strange clothes to attract everyone's attention.
He has the right not to use it, it will become invalid upon expiration, and Zheng Xiong doesn’t have the patience to wait in line.
When you become an official, you will naturally not take the ordinary path.
Walk directly past the queue to the pharmacy.
Zheng Xiong, dressed in official uniform, walked by and everyone quickly gave way.
It is an eternal truth that the people do not fight against the officials, and there is no one who is short-sighted and dares to block Zheng Xiong's way.
The journey was smooth, and Zheng Xiong walked straight into the pharmacy.
Zheng Xiong left at the beginning of the new year and took most of the people with him.
Looking at it today, Huimin Pharmacy has sufficient manpower, and most of them are new faces. It has obviously been re-recruited a lot of manpower.
The doctor who was treating him saw Zheng Xiong limping in wearing official uniform and stood up quickly.
"This sir is here to heal me."
"Yes, call your best medical practitioner over and show me."
"Sir, please wait a moment. I'll call the person in charge. He has the best medical skills and let him show you."
"Okay, hurry up."
Privilege exists all the time. For Zheng Xiong, no one in the crowd dared to speak out.
Including the injured who were being treated just now, they were not unhappy at all and even gave up their seats to Zheng Xiong. Unfortunately, Zheng Xiong could not enjoy it.
I can only stand aside and wait quietly.
In the distance, two people dared to come, and the leader saluted.
"What kind of injuries do the adults have? The younger ones are better at treating trauma, but are weaker at internal medicine."
"Surgery department, I just got beaten up. Now it's burning and painful. Give me some medicine quickly."
"Sir, please come into the inner hall. I'll give you some medicine."
Zheng Xiong waved and said to the two people in front of him.
"Hel me down."
As Zheng Xiong entered the inner hall, voices gradually resumed in the lobby of the pharmacy.
"This one is a bit unfamiliar. No civil or military official in the court dares to have short hair. Who knows who this gentleman is?"
"I have some speculation. I heard that the champion had returned to the capital yesterday. With such a hairstyle, it should be in front of the champion.
"No, the champion has made great achievements in the battle in Mobei. Now that the master has returned to the court, he should not be punished by the court battle. That's right."
"Then who do you think it is?"
"It's hard to say. Maybe one of the adults committed the crime and was sentenced to death or even fought in court."
Being in the capital, one can always talk about high and low, and Zheng Xiong's arrival has also become a topic of discussion among these people.
Zheng Xiong, who went to the inner hall, did not hear these.
The form does not allow Zheng Xiong to think too much.
Seeing the bed board placed in the inner hall, Zheng Xiong quickly lay on it.
Upon seeing this, the doctor quickly stepped forward to help Zheng Xiong take off his clothes, exposing his white buttocks.
The old wounds have not gone away, but are covered by new scars.
This is Xu's first experience, and his skin is a bit thicker.
Or maybe I got a little less slapped this time.
Apart from the bruising color, there was no broken skin.
"Your Majesty's injury is not serious. Just apply some ointment on it, but you need to change the ointment frequently in the past two days."
"In this way, it will definitely get better within seven days."
"Stop talking, apply the medicine quickly, and if you say a few more words, I will be cured."
What a beautiful idea, the doctor thought speechlessly.
Not daring to neglect, he quickly applied ointment to Zheng Xiong.
Feel the coolness coming from your butt.
Familiar recipe, familiar taste.
He couldn't help but moan in comfort.
"Yes, just apply more."
"I didn't wipe it down there."
"is it here?"
"No, go lower. Yes, that's it. It's comfortable."
After struggling for a long time, the uncle Zheng Xiong was finally taken care of.
Zheng Xiong, who had put on his clothes, felt the coolness coming from his butt.
Although the pain is still there, it is much better than before.
Nodding with satisfaction, Zheng Xiong stepped forward to leave.
Before he had even taken two steps, he was stopped by the doctor in charge behind him.
"My lord, please stay here. I'll give you fifty coins for the medicine. Will you pay it now or keep it in account?"
Public is public, private is private, Zheng Xiong can still tell the difference clearly.
He hadn't thought of it just now, but the steward's question reminded Zheng Xiong of this incident.
However, he did not answer the steward's question first, but asked curiously.
"Can you still keep accounts? Why didn't I know?"
"My lord, you are joking. There will always be times when you are not well off. It's okay to leave some money for later, but you have to keep an account first and leave it to be settled later."
The steward's answer made Zheng Xiong frown slightly. This was not a good culture. A small business was not profitable in the first place, yet these guys were allowed to take credit.
It's okay if you meet someone who is reasonable and you can settle the matter.
If you encounter someone who is unreasonable or someone who is transferred, it will become a mess.
When the time comes, I can only bear the loss of being dumb.
Several examples can appear on the Internet from time to time.
Now that there are signs of this, we can't let these people ruin our own territory.
"Since when did this start? Why didn't I know that there was such a good thing?"
It was obviously ironic, but the manager didn't take it seriously.
"You only come to the pharmacy when you need treatment. Your Majesty is in your prime, so it's normal to be unclear."
"Since the champion, the leader of our pharmacy, left, our pharmacy has recruited a group of new doctors."
"We have Dr. Zhang Peng and other doctors who came from all over the world to supplement us. Many of them are doctors who have already become famous."
"With their participation, it is no exaggeration to say that the level of our doctors at Yingtian Mansion is as good as those at the Tai Hospital, and they are even slightly better at handling some injuries."
"So some adults who can't afford an imperial doctor will come to our pharmacy for diagnosis and treatment."
“Including some diseases that hospitals are unable to cure, so many adults prefer to come to us for treatment.”
“Every time I come here, more people come, and there are always some who forget to bring money or who are short of money.”
"These adults are officials in the court, and we also believe in their abilities and credibility."
"So for the convenience of all the adults, I will gradually be able to keep accounts here. All I need to do is sign and deposit."
After listening to the steward's story, Zheng Xiong had a rough idea.
However, whether it is for the convenience of officials or because they cannot afford to offend is debatable.
After all, people who do business will never welcome someone who keeps accounts.
"Sir, do you want to keep accounts?"
This question interrupted Zheng Xiong's divergent thoughts and he came back to his senses.
"No, it's time to get married. This will wait for now."
"Go ahead and call Wu You, Zhang Peng and the steward from Sifang Pharmacy."
"This officer is waiting for them here."
Zheng Xiong suddenly issued an order, which made the person in charge a little confused. The official level was overwhelming, but it was a trivial matter to let the leading figure of Huimin Pharmacy come over.
But you can’t just come and come. It seems that the superiors don’t have someone like you!
"I have never asked this lord his name and where he serves?"
After clearing his throat, Zheng Xiong spoke slowly.
"This officer, Zheng Xiong, Tian is collecting it for Huimin Pharmacy."
"It turns out that I was the one who brought you to your face. I was short-sighted and neglected you. Please don't blame me."
"I'll go and invite Master Wu and Dr. Zhang Peng over now."
"Well, go ahead and tell them to hurry up."
Needless to say, the feeling of having a wave on someone's front is really good, and the pain in Zheng Xiong's butt has disappeared.
The person in charge did not doubt his presence, and no one dared to do such a useless thing as pretending to be an official.
What's more, these are all old people from Huimin Pharmacy. After meeting, they can tell whether they are real or fake immediately.
Only a fool would come here to look for trouble.
So I went out to look for someone very happily.
When they heard that the big boss of the pharmacy was coming, these newly recruited doctors were a little excited and hurriedly split up to spread the word.
"Ti Ling, there are a lot of people talking outside, so the inner hall should be quieter. Can Ti Ling move and wait?"
"There are indeed a lot of people, so let's wait in the inner hall!"
"Pick it up, please."
To be honest, it feels good to have a subordinate running errands.
Lao Zhu's self-confidence that was knocked away was regained here.
When he sat down, someone was serving tea and water, and he was serving him carefully, which made Zheng Xiong feel a little dizzy again.
While waiting, I thought about the punishment I had suffered from Lao Zhu, as well as the infliction of insults made by officials, both civil and military.
The thought of lying peacefully at home was thrown out of my mind.
If Lao Zhu can't afford to offend him, why can't these officials afford it?
There is just something ready-made here at the pharmacy to make trouble for yourself.
In addition, Huimin Pharmacy is now achieving great results, so they all want to come here to treat diseases, which also gives themselves an excuse.
Revenge should be taken as early as possible. If you don't do something at this time, how long will it take?
Thinking of the key point, Zheng Xiong couldn't help but have a sinister smile on his lips. When the steward on the side saw it, he felt a chill coming to his face.
"Master Wu, the appointment is at the north branch of the city. Please come over. Dr. Zhang Peng is also inviting you."
"Is the withdrawal at the north city branch? I understand. I'll go there right away."
"Steward, the collection is at our place in the north of the city. Please come over."
"You go and recover first, I'll be there right away."
A leader's words can cause his subordinates to run into trouble.
After hearing Zheng Xiong's order, the stewards of Sifang Pharmacy quickly put down what they were doing and rushed to the branch in the north of the city one by one.
"I've met the Marquis."
No matter which pot was left unopened, Zheng Xiong's mood dropped to the bottom at this sound.
Although Wu You and others were not well informed, it was an unintentional mistake to call them Marquis, and they were still a little unhappy.
"Don't call me Marquis. The title has been removed. Ask me to claim it."
The flattery slapped the horse's leg. Wu You and others were a little embarrassed, but then they realized and saluted again.
"I've seen Ti Ling."
"No need to be polite. I called you here this time to ask you something. Please answer me honestly."
I don’t know what happened to offend Zheng Xiong. Anyway, it’s not a good thing to see Zheng Xiong’s face. They straightened their postures and waited for Zheng Xiong’s questions.
"Who set the rules for payment at the pharmacy? Why can officials keep accounts when they see a doctor? Whose idea was it?"
Seeing that it was an accounting issue, Wu You stepped forward.
"It was the lower official's idea to withdraw the money."
"What's the reason? Tell me carefully."
"Firstly, some people did not bring any money, and secondly, there were too many officials coming, so there was always some negligence."
"I can't afford to offend someone with my humble words when I'm in an official position, so I can only allow accounting."
As soon as Wu You finished speaking, Zheng Xiong asked immediately.
"Then have you ever thought about what if they don't want to give it to you?"
Wu You replied with a wry smile.
"Then you can only admit that you are unlucky and let him go."
