In the capital, in an old house on Xinglin Lane.
I heard my apprentice say that there was a notice posted outside. Doctor Zhou, who was offering a high reward to the Xinglin master in the Duke of Rongguo, was packing up his tools and planned to go to the Duke of Rongguo to try his luck. Five hundred taels of silver was a big deal for doctors like them. It's still very attractive. I'm afraid I won't be able to earn five hundred taels of silver even if I sit in a normal clinic for a few years.
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked in from outside. Doctor Zhou glanced at the visitor and said softly: "There will be no consultation today. Please come back tomorrow~"
After hearing what Doctor Zhou said, I heard the man say: "Don't they all say that it is the duty of a doctor to save lives and heal the wounded? This is the first time I have seen someone drive patients out of a medical clinic~"
When Dr. Zhou heard this, his hands moved for a moment, and then he continued to clean up, and while cleaning up, he said: "Sir, this is a joke! The key to medical treatment is to look, hear, ask and understand. I just looked at you and said roughly I can guess whether you are sick or not. Your face is rosy, your eyes are shining, and your steps are steady and strong. You are definitely not someone with a serious illness~"
"If you are not feeling well and want to prescribe some good medicine to nourish your kidneys and stimulate your appetite, you can do it in just a moment. I really have something important to do today. If you are in a hurry, you might as well order Xun Gaoming!"
When the visitor heard what Doctor Zhou said, he laughed, "That's right, that's right. I do have some abilities. You can tell whether I have a disease or not just by looking at my face. It's much better than those self-proclaimed saints outside!"
When Doctor Zhou heard the visitor's compliments, he smiled and waved his hands gently, saying, "I am just a common man! I might as well tell you that I am now going to the Rongguo Duke's Mansion to earn money." !”
When the visitor heard the words, he did not continue to sneer, but said seriously: "What's this? It's just human nature. It doesn't mean that a doctor should not live a life. Three meals a day, firewood, rice, oil and salt, who doesn't need money? Woolen cloth?"
After hearing this, Langzhong Zhou was quite surprised. The person in front of him seemed to be an understanding person and he spoke nicely, so he asked: "My guest, do you feel uncomfortable somewhere in your body? I don't know. It’s not much longer, I’ll show you first, then I’ll go~”
The visitor laughed softly and said playfully: "I don't feel uncomfortable at all, but I want to give you a fortune, but I don't know if you dare to accept it."
When Langzhong Zhou heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. What did the other party mean?
The person who came saw the suspicion in Zhou Langzhong's eyes and said again: "I also know that the Rongguo Duke's mansion is offering a huge reward. It should be for Xue Pan, the eldest young master of the Xue family. I was on the notice board just now. I heard everyone say that Mr. Xue was poisoned, and this reward should be to detoxify him!
"
Doctor Zhou was stunned again when he heard this. According to what the other party meant, the other party seemed to know what kind of poison Xue Pan was poisoned. With such a good opportunity, why didn't the other party go by himself? You can get at least five hundred taels of silver! If they are lucky and can really rejuvenate, they may get five thousand taels of silver, which will be a great fortune for them.
Regarding Doctor Zhou's suspicion, the visitor did not change his color at all, but said in a deep voice: "I grew up in the mountains, and I know the medicinal properties of some herbs in the mountains. They say that poisons are not divided into families, and medicines are divided into three parts. So by chance, By coincidence, I also understand some of the principles of poison, but when it comes to treating people and saving lives, it is indeed very superficial and difficult to reach the level of elegance~"
"Today, Duke Rongguo's government is offering a huge bounty, and the Xinglin Saints must have gathered together. If I go, I will definitely make a fool of myself. Therefore, I don't intend to take a trip into this muddy water, but I am unwilling to accept the five hundred taels of silver. , so I thought about cooperating with my husband. If by that time, my husband can magically rejuvenate himself and cure this poison, I won’t ask for more than the five thousand taels of silver. I will only take five hundred taels of silver. If my husband can’t magically restore his youth, then I will Do you think you'd like to divide the five hundred taels between the benevolent man and your husband equally?"
Hearing the other party's words, Doctor Zhou showed a thoughtful look in his eyes. The other party's reason was quite reasonable. After all, he was here to remove poisons, heal wounds, treat illnesses and save people. If the other party had no means at all, then the Xue family would not believe what the other party said. ? Even if you believe it at that time, but there is no way to cure it, you will definitely lose your face and smile generously!
"
After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Zhou said suspiciously: "Aren't you afraid that I will use your money when the time comes?"
When the visitor heard Zhou Langzhong's words, he couldn't help laughing. After he finished laughing, he only heard him say again: "If this is really the case, then it means that I am ignorant and ignorant!
"
Doctor Zhou glanced at him twice, and after confirming that the other party was not joking, he said again: "Do you need me to write you a document?"
The man waved his hand, saying no, "I can trust Mr. Zhou's character, just like you didn't lie to me just now!"
Hearing what the other party said, Zhou Lang felt very happy in his heart. After all, this was a sign that his character was recognized. Then he laughed, reached out and stroked his goatee, "I don't dare to ask for your attention~"
After the two talked secretly for a while, Doctor Zhou left the hospital with a strange look on his face.
The person who came here to see a doctor seemed to have suddenly disappeared and never came out of the medical center again.
Looking at the sky where the sun had turned to the west, the doctor smiled strangely, and then he carried his tool box and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
In Taihe Palace, Jia She met the Supreme Emperor, Emperor Taikang, as he wished.
"You brat, you are so brave today. I didn't ask you to come, but you ran over on your own!"
On a soft couch, Emperor Taikang leaned his body and did not get up. He just half-squinted his eyes and said aloud.
"Tell me! What's the matter?"
Jia She stood aside, bowed his head and cupped his hands, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, not long ago, the boy of the Xue family who lived in the residence was poisoned. Doctor Wang from the Imperial Hospital has been asked to take a look. But the other party was not sure what kind of poison it was, so the Xue family girl begged the old lady, and the old lady asked me to go to the palace to pray for the saint to come!"
Jia She was very conscientious and did not hide anything at all. He knew very well that even if he wanted to hide things, he could not hide them. If he wanted to make Emperor Taikang unhappy, he might as well just tell the truth.
After saying this, Jia She stopped talking. He knew that the Supreme Emperor could understand what he meant.
There was no sound in the main hall of Taihe Palace, and it suddenly became quiet. Occasionally, there were a few slight crackling sounds in the ears, which were the faint sounds made by the charcoal in the brazier when it was burning.
After a while, Emperor Taikang said again: "Do you want me to send those two worshipers to the house to have a look?"
Jia She, who was dressed in a red robe, bent down again and said quickly: "If the saint can show mercy, that would be great!"
Emperor Taikang smiled coldly, "You monkey boy, you are quite honest. If I say that boy deserves to die, Jia Chu should not save him!"
You have the nerve to come to the palace to ask for grace!
"
When Jia She heard this, he suddenly shuddered and swallowed.
Then he whispered: "The old lady ordered me, my son..."
Hearing Jia She's words, Emperor Taikang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. This boy is like this. In his opinion, he is a fool and a filial piety. The eldest son of the dignified Duke's family sneaks into the field where he lives in the stable. To a large extent, he is like this. Because of his temperament.
But foolish filial piety is also filial piety, and he can't hate a filial son like Jia She. After all, in the royal family, he can't experience such family affection at all. To him, such foolish filial piety is also very precious.
Then Emperor Taikang sighed softly, "The two of them are not in the palace now. There are some things they need to do, and they won't be able to come back for a while!"
Hearing Emperor Taikang's answer, Jia She couldn't help but be stunned. Not in the palace? ?
In his impression, those two people were not ordinary people. They usually spent most of their time in the palace. Now that the capital was like this, how could they not be in the palace?
Could it be that Emperor Taikang didn't want that person to do this favor, and was deliberately blocking himself with words, so he said that.
Seeing Jia She standing there, motionless, Emperor Taikang smiled coldly, as if he had guessed what Jia She was thinking.
"You are not joking. Don't think that I am a petty person. Since I came to the throne, when have I ever made false promises? Even if it happened that year, it was not the same. I issued an order to pardon your Jia family's sins. How have you ever seen me again? Looking for trouble between your two houses??"
Hearing this, Jia She quickly knelt down on the ground and replied nervously: "Jia She never dares to forget the grace of God. The two governments also always remember that they will never participate in any fights on weekdays! always……"
Emperor Taikang glanced at Jia She and snorted softly, "I know, if it hadn't been like this, do you think your two houses could still be in peace and stability until now?"
After hearing this, Jia She lowered his head even lower, and finally it was directly attached to the ground, and he did not dare to get up for a long time.
Emperor Taikang threw the secret fold in his hand aside, and then said: "Whoever saves you should go to. That little bastard has a master who specializes in this way. If she takes action, it won't be a big deal to find the cause of Chu." Difficult matter?"
Hearing Emperor Taikang's words, Jia She was stunned on the spot. Who was he talking about? Could it be Jia Qi? What does the master next to him mean?
"Okay, let's go down! I'm tired too. If you have any questions, just ask Xia Cheng!"
Then Taikangli waved his hand again, asking Jia She to kneel down.
Jia She followed Xia Cheng, the eunuch in charge of the Taihe Palace, to the outside of the palace.
"General Jia, you're fine!"
Listening to Xia Cheng's strange words, Jia She didn't dare to neglect, and quickly replied: "Manager Xia, you are such a noble person who forgets things! I was here just a few days ago!"
When Xia Cheng heard Jia She's words, he chuckled, "Well, people's memories are not so good when they get older!"
Jia She smiled awkwardly, and then asked: "May I ask Manager Xia, what did the Grand Emperor mean by his words just now?"
Xia Cheng sighed quietly, "The Emperor is talking about the champion Hou Jiayu. There happens to be a person beside him who is proficient in medicine and poison. The two enshrined adults are indeed not in the palace at the moment. If you want to help in a short time, To detoxify that... big fool from the Xue family, you should go find the champion~"
Hearing Xia Cheng's words, Jia She nodded, and then said: "May I ask which hero it is?"
Xia Cheng shook the fly whisk in his arms, his eyes a little playful, "Not a hero, but a woman, the champion Jia Qi, and there is a girl named Cai Luan next to her!"
Having said this, Xia Cheng chuckled, "But there are differences between men and women. The champion may not necessarily let her help Xue Pan detoxify!"
Hearing this name, Jia She frowned. A woman, speaking like this, is really shocked!
Then he thought of another thing. There was such a woman beside Jia Qi. He had never revealed it to the outside world. He just went there rashly. If Jia Qi thought that he had investigated him secretly, then it was very likely that the Jia family and him The relationship is about to fall into a freezing period!
Another thing is that the Supreme Emperor actually investigated Jia Qi privately and also found out everyone around him. Such a sophisticated method made him feel chilled.
Although the tiger is old, its power is still there!
At this moment, Doctor Zhou also successfully arrived at the Lixiang Garden from the northwest corner gate of the Duke of Rong's Mansion.
