In front of the Xiancao Hall, the singing and dancing suddenly stopped.
Three burly men walked over majestically.
"I'm Wang Peiyu of the Cao Gang. I wonder if it's safe or where my little brother is?"
A burly man at the head asked. His cultivation had reached the fourth level of martial arts. Standing there, he looked like a towering iron tower, indestructible.
Hong Xifei was treating an old man suffering from a cold. When she saw three people walking in, she couldn't help but frown. Just as she was waiting to answer, He Pingan, Yang Qing and others had already walked out of the back room.
"I am He Ping'an!"
"I wonder what you are doing here?"
He Ping'an stepped out of the crowd and looked at the three big men outside the door.
If this Cao gang is not smart and chooses to cause trouble when the Xiancao Hall is open, don't blame him for pretending... to show off to others.
"I have met Brother He. I am here this time in the name of the new Gang Leader Xiao, to congratulate the opening of Xiancao Hall."
Wang Peiyu said loudly, then waved his hand, and a tall man behind him presented the wooden box in his hand.
There is a piece of crystal clear white jade in the wooden box, which is faintly filled with spiritual energy. If it is made into jewelry, it will be of great benefit to those who are practicing at the third level or below.
This is the Weasel giving New Year greetings to the Rooster. Isn't he being kind?
He Pingan was confused: "What does this mean?"
He had indeed heard in the past two days that after Qian Yanqing's death, various forces within the Cao Gang fought fiercely for the position of gang leader.
As a result, an elder from the outer sect of the Cao Gang named Xiao Mingxin came out of the blue. He showed off his third-level martial arts skills and defeated all his competitors to win the position of gang leader.
However, He Ping'an was not interested in these gang affairs, but he just roughly knew that such a thing happened.
"Gang Leader Xiao is deeply sorry for what happened a few days ago. Please make sure to convey his apology and say hello to the Governor of Qin Town."
Wang Peiyu cupped his hands and said sincerely: "In addition, the people who came to make trouble before have been dealt with by Gang Leader Xiao. Please don't worry, Brother He."
I see......
He Ping'an was convinced that the newly appointed Xiao gang leader had some tricks up his sleeve.
As soon as he took office, he managed the relations between all parties in an orderly manner.
Even the conflict with He Ping'an, a junior official in the Changsheng Palace, has not been forgotten.
Send a congratulatory gift to express the hope that He Ping'an can put the blame behind him.
He was also showing his favor to Qin Zhongxi who was behind He Pingan.
The culprit, Qian Yanqing, had already died in his own hands. There was no need for He Ping'an to worry about the trivial matters before. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Gang Leader Xiao, for the gift, but I will be disrespectful to you."
"Since the three friends are here, please sit inside."
Wang Peiyu cupped his hands and said, "No, I have something important to do, so I won't bother you."
After the three of them left, Yang Qing waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Keep playing music, keep dancing!"
Suddenly the singing and dancing started again, and in front of the Xiancao Hall, the courtyard looked like a market.
Amidst the singing and dancing, several more people walked outside the door. They were Tian Zhixian and Qi Baotou, the Changle County government officials, followed by two petty officials from Changle County government.
"Hahahaha, He Xiandi has a great business today, why don't you tell me?"
Magistrate Tian, who was not wearing official uniform today but was wearing a blue Confucian shirt, smiled heartily and said that he seemed to be good friends with He Pingan whom he had not seen for many years.
He Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and then he greeted him with a smile on his face: "It turns out that Brother Tian is here. Please sit inside."
He had searched Qian Yanqing's soul before and found out about Tian Magistrate's corruption and bribery. He had planned to find an opportunity to punish him in his spare time, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to show up today.
Master Wang and Tian Zhixian bowed their hands. Although they had never met before, they were both in the officialdom and it was not appropriate to lose their courtesy.
When Tian Zhixian saw so many people coming to the Changsheng Palace, he felt even more wise for his decision today.
There is definitely someone behind this kid!
Everyone entered the front hall.
"Brother He, I heard that your store was opening today. I rushed over as soon as I got the news."
Tian Zhixian took a sip of tea, then waved his hand, and Qi Captou took out a long wooden box from his arms and gave it out.
"This is a little thought from my brother. Please don't dislike it, brother He."
He Pingan took the wooden box, glanced at it with his consciousness, and his expression suddenly became strange.
Magistrate Tian was still smiling proudly here and said: "This is a portrait of a martial sage riding a dragon. It is the most popular painting sold in Xuanyang recently. I spent two hundred taels of silver to buy it from someone else yesterday. ....."
Hearing what Magistrate Tian said, Master Wang, Yang Qing and others on the side almost spit out a mouthful of strong tea.
There is nothing wrong with you as a gift, but you should give a portrait of Wu Sheng.
Seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, Magistrate Tian also noticed something strange and asked, "But what's wrong with this portrait of the Martial Saint?"
Master Wang laughed dryly and said, "Thank you, Brother Tian, for your support and recognition of the portrait of Saint Wu."
"Brother Wang, what do you mean by this?"
Magistrate Tian asked curiously.
"I am not talented. This portrait of the Martial Saint is exactly what I made."
Master Wang said with sincerity.
"What......"
Tian Zhixian stood up, his eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
There was no way he could connect the painter with the half-bald old man in front of him.
Naturally, He Ping'an would not let go of such a good opportunity to renovate Tianzhi County, and said with certainty: "This is indeed what Master Wang did, and I saw it with my own eyes."
Everyone in the Changsheng Hall also nodded, making Magistrate Tian extremely embarrassed.
I thought it would be a rare gift, but who knew that the painter himself was right in front of me.
After experiencing a social death, Tian Zhixian was in a daze and could no longer sit still. He said a few words casually, put the portrait of Wu Sheng into his arms in shame, took Qi Baotou with him, and left staggeringly.
With so many officials in the Drug Department in full view, I believe that within two days, the news of Tian Zhixian's death will spread throughout the Daxuan officialdom, which can be regarded as Ping An's stinginess.
However, as a parent official of Tianzhi County, He Ping'an would not ignore Tianzhixian's bullying of the people and corruption and perversion of the law just because he showed favor to him.
Of course, he must arrange it clearly, and use his own person to collect evidence of corruption and bending the law in Tianzhi County, and send it to Daxuan Inspectorate and other departments.
Although some people in the court wanted to cover up the matter, He Ping'an also quietly spread the evidence of Tianzhi County's corruption and perversion of the law throughout the streets and alleys. It instantly became popular in major Goulan teahouses and became a hot topic in Xuanyang.
Paper couldn't contain the fire, and the people behind Magistrate Tian couldn't resist it, so they simply cut off their tails to survive.
Within a few days, Magistrate Tian was dismissed from his post and exiled.
…
In the blink of an eye, six or seven days later, Xiancao Tang's business was on the right track.
Because Hong Xifei has excellent medical skills, reasonable fees, and treats patients regardless of high or low, the business is very impressive.
In particular, she followed He Ping'an's suggestion that if those who came for treatment were really poor, they could help repay the medical expenses at Xiancao Hall.
It has accumulated a lot of good reputation for Xiancao Hall, and it has gained a certain reputation near the West Market.
At the same time, He Ping'an told her that if someone has rare things such as exotic flowers and herbs, strange elixirs, etc., no matter whether they are magic elixirs or poisonous elixirs, as long as they are found to be suitable, they can be used to replace the cost of the medicine.
After experiencing Zhang Laoqi's incident, He Ping'an knew that many rare treasures were actually lost among the people.
Even the Palace of Eternal Life cannot collect all the treasures.
Moreover, what he needs is poisonous erysipelas, which does not conflict with what the Palace of Eternal Life needs.
In a short period of time, He Pingan received a lot of poisonous weeds and poisonous pills.
Although the quality of the Poisonous Weed and Poison Pills varied, the quantity could not stand up to the large quantity, and there was no two-day limit in the drug testing department. He Ping'an took it continuously and his cultivation level increased by nearly fifty years.
