In the Qianqing Palace, Gu Bingqian, the first assistant, had just left. Wang Wenyan, a member of the Zhongshushe, was tortured to death by Jin Yiwei in the afternoon. Today in the court, Wei Zhongxian and others, as well as Zuodu Yushi Gao Panlong, took bribes for Yang Lian and others. A lot happened. conflict.
Although Gu Bingqian was also attached to Wei Zhongxian, he was thinking of quitting at this moment. He came to Zhu Youxiao not only to reconcile the conflict between the two parties, but also to resign.
Zhu Youxiao's son has not recovered yet, and now these court affairs are bothering him again, which makes him very depressed.
Zhang Yan was accompanying her, and when she was about to say a few words of comfort, another servant came to report, and Wei Zhongxian was waiting outside.
Zhang Yan has always been dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian in her heart. She frowned and said: "They are ministers who fight endlessly every day and don't know how to share His Majesty's worries. They spend such time and don't care about His Majesty's body. They still come to give advice. Your Majesty is tired." , it’s better to be gone.”
Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said, "Let's listen to what my companion has to say."
Zhang Yan nodded helplessly. Although she and the emperor had always been very affectionate, Wei Zhongxian's position in the emperor's heart had always been very strong, so she had no choice but to endure it for the time being.
Wei Zhongxian came in with a smile, greeted the emperor and empress, took out a small porcelain white card and handed it over, "Your Majesty, look, you can take this number plate to Huang Xiao tomorrow. This number plate is worth a lot of money." You get it with less effort!”
Zhu Youxiao took the number plate in his hand, looked at it, handed it to Zhang Yan, looked at Wei Zhongxian who was standing next to him and said, "What is this? It looks like jade but not jade. How are these words engraved on it?" "
Wei Zhongxian smiled and said: "This servant doesn't know, this Huang Xiao..."
Now Wei Zhongxian explained Huang Xiao's rules and the purpose of the number plate.
Zhu Youxiao praised, "This Huang Xiao is really interesting. This is a wonderful idea. I and the Queen will be the last ones. You don't need to accompany me in tomorrow. You just need to have someone take me and the Queen to the place." That’s fine! There’s nothing going on in the most beautiful place in the capital.”
"Your Majesty, my servant will accompany your Majesty. If you have anything to do, let your servant handle it! We also need to send some factory guards!" Wei Zhongxian said.
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "No need, this matter is only known to you and is not allowed to be spread outside! It is rare for me and the Queen to visit privately together in secret. We don't want to inconvenience everyone. My dear friend, this is my will. You can go down!"
Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to resign.
If Zhu Youxiao was just going to see a doctor on his own, he would naturally not mind Wei Zhongxian accompanying him, but when it came to the Queen's reputation, Wei Zhongxian would not be involved.
Thinking of tomorrow's itinerary, Zhu Youxiao was very excited and discussed with Zhang Yan how to consult and dress up tomorrow.
At this time, Xu Xianchun and Cui Chengxiu looked at the doctor who was kneeling on the ground in front of them with ugly expressions.
"They're all trash, a bunch of uneducated people! They haven't learned anything all day and night! What's the use of you! Someone's coming, drag us down!"
A group of armored warriors rushed in and cleared the place amidst the cries and shouts of the doctors.
"Master Xu, there is no need to be angry. Since it is a secret recipe, there is always a unique method. It cannot be broken in a moment."
Cui Chengxiu took Xu Xianchun to sit down and personally refilled a cup of tea for Xu Xianchun.
Xu Xianchun took a sip of tea, and his mood calmed down, and he said: "There is no peace in the DPRK these days. Wang Wenyan, the member of the Zhongshushe, is very hard-boned. He is unwilling to expose the censor Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Yuan even before his death. Regarding the bribery of Hua Zhong and others, these Donglin Party members, with the tacit approval of the official Zhao Nanxing, tried their best to protect Xiong Tingbi. This is going against Chitose!"
Cui Chengxiu said: "That's right. This Xiong Manzi wants money rather than his life. He asked Wang Wenyan to tell his godfather that he was willing to pay 40,000 taels of gold to atone for his sins. When the godfather opened his mouth to exonerate him in front of His Majesty, this guy But he refused to admit the debt, and instead begged for work from Zhao Nanxing. The money he gave must have been given to the Donglin Party where Zhao Nanxing belonged, otherwise Yang Lian and others would not have spoken out for Xiong Manzi in the court meeting.
The most abhorrent Yuan Huazhong actually impeached his own official for corruption! Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu must never let go of such a treacherous and sycophantic minister! "
Xu Xianchun hummed and said slowly: "Wang Wenyan could not be punished today and died in the imperial prison. The charges against Yang Lian and others were not obtained. I just came back from Chitose. Chitose lost his temper. The chief assistant defended himself in front of His Majesty. Wang Wenyan's words can't move them for the time being, but there will always be charges!"
Cui Chengxiu nodded and felt a little calmer. During the morning meeting this morning, Yuan Huazhong suddenly impeached him for embezzling money from the Ministry of Industry. He was almost caught off guard. Fortunately, he had his godfather to support him, otherwise it would always be bad.
"Chitose will take care of these sycophants. I'll just work hard!"
Xu Xianchun snorted after saying, "It's just that Huang Xiao, a small doctor, is so ignorant of praise, but it makes me very angry! Today, the Jile Pills that Xiao'er and the others brought back were sold out again, although Huang Xiao gave up and took advantage of the situation. The harvest is quite fruitful, but who am I? How can I let him, a common man in the city, take control of me?"
When he mentioned the money, Cui Chengxiu perked up and said: "Excluding the cost, the profit today is as much as five thousand taels. Excluding the filial piety to the godfather, you and I can get as much as one thousand, five hundred taels. It is really a way to make a fortune." ! Calculating it this way, the profit of several million a year is really not what Huang Xiao is bragging about..."
Xu Xianchun sneered and said: "If the secret recipe is in your hands or mine, the profit will be more than doubled. Since Huang Xiao doesn't know good and evil, I will ask him to go to the prison tomorrow! Someone happened to report it, hehe, this is God's help I’m waiting to get this secret recipe!”
"Oh? Why did someone report something?" Cui Chengxiu asked curiously.
Xu Xianchun said: "Today someone came to the government office to report that Huang Xiao's medicine was bad for people. After I found out, I suppressed it for the time being. It won't be too late to go and take care of it tomorrow. It was a tiring day today, and it doesn't hurt to let Huang Xiao have a happy day first." .”
Cui Chengxiu nodded and said nothing.
Huang Xiao didn't know at this moment that even if he repeatedly gave in, Xu and Cui's family still had a hard time satisfying their desires.
On Dongsi Pailou Street, in the backyard of Xiangrentang, Doctor Hu was sitting on a chair with a gloomy look on his face. The boy next to him stood in front of him in silence. Ever since Huang Xiao started practicing medicine, Xiangrentang's business has plummeted, especially after the free clinic. It hasn't been opened for two days in a row. Mr. Hu's temper has been quite bad these two days, and the boy didn't dare to move.
Doctor Hu glanced at the boy and said, "Hu Lang, what did Master Hu say? This paper was sent this afternoon, why is there no movement?"
The young boy Hu Lang said: "Sir, Master Hu took the money and said that this was suppressed by the Jin Yiwei, but he didn't know the reason?"
"Jinyiwei!"
Doctor Hu stood up suddenly with a look of shock and panic on his face, "Why did you alert the Jinyiwei? Are you...packed up from beginning to end? Don't cause trouble!"
Jin Yiwei's reputation was so fierce that Doctor Hu was frightened.
