While Qin Ming was pacing back and forth in the room, Li Shimin and his party had already arrived at Dongshi.
Shopkeeper Guo has been standing at the door of the teahouse since Qin Ming went upstairs, waiting for the guests Qin Ming wanted to meet.
He has been around the Western Market for many years, so he naturally understands that no matter how small his boss's affairs are, they are big things, and no matter how big his own affairs are, they are small things.
Shopkeeper Guo stood at the door of Ximeng Tower, constantly scanning the crowds coming and going in Dongshi with his eyes.
Suddenly a carriage stopped in front of Ximeng Tower.
Shopkeeper Guo took a closer look at the young lady standing next to the carriage.
She was wearing a long cyan dress, tall and with a pretty face.
Standing in the crowd, it's like a lotus waiting to bloom.
She is Miss Yuechan who went to the Western Market with Mr. Qin before.
Just as Shopkeeper Guo was about to come forward to greet him, three more middle-aged men got off the carriage.
The leader has red phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows, a short beard, and a serious expression, giving him a majestic feeling.
Behind them were two middle-aged men. Although they were not as well dressed as the leaders, they did not look like ordinary people in terms of temperament.
Shopkeeper Guo has been in Xishi for many years and has received many wealthy businessmen and dignitaries.
He thought to himself, looking at the appearance of these middle-aged people, their identities should not be simple, they might be officials.
Thinking of this, shopkeeper Guo went up to him and said:
"Hello distinguished guests, I am the shopkeeper of this shop..."
Before Shopkeeper Guo finished speaking, Yuechan hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt Shopkeeper Guo's words.
"Shopkeeper Guo, we are here to see Mr. Qin, and we would like to ask you to show us the way out."
Shopkeeper Guo was interrupted by Miss Yuechan's words and didn't mind. He smiled and said:
"Okay, please follow me to the second floor. Mr. Qin has been waiting for a long time."
After saying that, the group, led by shopkeeper Guo, rushed to the room where Qin Ming was on the second floor.
The door opened from the inside. Qin Ming looked at everyone with a smile, and then said to Li Shimin:
"Uncle Li, you are finally here. Come in and sit down."
As he said this, Qin Ming stepped aside and let everyone pass.
Just now in the room, Qin Ming heard the footsteps of people going upstairs and knew that Li Shimin was coming.
He secretly "hypnotized" himself, calm down, don't be nervous, don't treat him like an emperor, just treat him as a celebrity relative who plays Li Shimin.
Don't show any flaws. If Li Shimin finds out, his identity has been exposed to me.
When Li Shimin saw Qin Ming opening the door, he also smiled, said hello, and led everyone in.
Qin Ming turned to Lao Guo, who was standing outside the door, waiting for instructions, and said:
"Shopkeeper Guo, please go down first. I can take care of myself here."
"Well, good boss."
After shopkeeper Guo went down, Qin Ming turned around and entered the box, closing the door behind him.
Turning around, Qin Ming took a serious look at Li Er and his party.
Li Er brought a total of seven people this time.
Among them, Qin Ming had seen Li Er, Miss Yuechan, Fang Xuanling, and the man dressed as a guard.
There were only three people sitting among Li Er's group.
The person sitting on the right side of Li Er is the old house that has been to Zhuangzi before. It should be Fang Xuanling from Fang Mou Du Duanli.
The middle-aged man sitting on Li Er's left hand side.
He looks older than Li Er, with a medium build, a square face, and a long beard.
His beard and hair were slightly gray, and he was looking at himself with a smile.
Seeing this, Qin Ming thought that if this person could sit next to Li Er, he would most likely be a noble person in the court.
Could it be Du Ruhui?
Qin Ming first greeted Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling respectively, and then asked:
"Uncle Li, who is this person next to you?"
On the way here, Changsun Wuji had already spoken to His Majesty. When Qin Ming asked about his origin, he smiled at Qin Ming and said:
"Mr. Qin, I am also the steward of the Li Mansion. My surname is Sun. You can just call me steward Sun."
"Oh, it turns out to be Butler Sun. From now on, just call me Qin Ming."
Qin Ming thought that if his surname was Sun, it must not be Du Ruhui.
(What Qin Ming didn’t know was that Du Ruhui passed away four years after Zhenguan.)
During the Zhenguan period, the minister named Sun was close to Li Er. Could it be Changsun Wuji?
In that film and television drama, Changsun Wuji was executed by Wu Meiniang?
Qin Ming looked at Changsun Wuji curiously.
Changsun Wuji smiled and nodded, like a kind elder.
At this time, Li Er's voice sounded in the room:
"My dear nephew, I came here this time because I want to hear more about the issues you mentioned about refugee gathering places."
"I heard Yue Chan say, do you think the current arrangements in refugee gathering places can easily lead to the spread of epidemics?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming temporarily suppressed his speculation about the middle-aged man's identity and looked at Li Erdao:
"Well, yes uncle, there is indeed a problem."
After Qin Ming finished speaking, he glanced at Li Er and found that his face was calm, without any anxious expression.
Everyone else also looked calm and collected.
He thought to himself, as expected, Li Er would not easily believe something that has not happened yet.
So Qin Ming continued:
"Uncle, that's it. Today I found at the refugee gathering place that many refugees have suffered from the cold."
"Although my nephew did not go into the tent to check, after walking through several tents, I found that almost every tent had people with colds and coughs."
"And cold cough can be easily transmitted to others in winter. I believe many doctors know this. You can ask a few experienced people."
Li Er nodded when he heard this and said:
"Just in time, I brought two doctors with me this time. What do you say?"
After talking about Li Er, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji looked at the two medical doctors behind them.
The two doctors of medicine were able to follow Li Shimin here. Naturally, they already knew the purpose of coming on the way.
His Majesty needs them to help judge whether the epidemic this young man mentioned will happen.
After hearing His Majesty's question, one of them, a medical doctor in his forties, pondered for a while and cautiously replied:
"Returning to Alang, this young master is right, cold cough is indeed contagious."
"But wind-cold cough is easier to treat and is not an incurable disease, so I think that even if wind-cold is contagious, not many people will die from wind-cold."
