Zhao Chuan saw a bank with the big name "Han" on it and thought that there was also a Han family business at the junction of the three counties. It seemed that the business was doing really well.
Zhao Chuan pulled Cheng Shulan and ran in. When he entered the door, he stopped and found that the inside was very wide. There was a large space between the counter and the door. There were actually two large tea tables for guests to drink tea.
Zhao Chuan composed himself, calmed his breathing, approached the counter and asked, "Excuse me, is this Han family, Jiangzhou Han family?"
The waiter replied: "Exactly. What are your orders, sir?"
Zhao Chuan took out the jade sign and said, "Do you recognize this?"
The waiter looked at it, turned around and shouted: "Master, please come here!" Then he politely asked Zhao Chuan to sit down at the big tea table, and then turned around to have tea served.
The big shopkeeper wandered out of the back room and walked to the tea table. He glanced at Zhao Chuan and Cheng Shulan. When he saw the jade plaque on the tea table, he was stunned and his face changed slightly. Then he picked up the jade plaque and waved hurriedly. The waiter went to get the spectacles.
The big shopkeeper put on his spectacles, looked at the front and back carefully, returned it to Zhao Chuan, and said respectfully: "What are your orders, young master?"
"Take one hundred taels of silver notes." Zhao Chuan said softly.
The big shopkeeper paused: "Are you sure you only want to take one hundred taels?"
Zhao Chuan said: "Yes, I only want to take out one hundred taels, and I want ten banknotes. Is there any problem?"
"No problem! Please wait a moment!"
The chief shopkeeper turned around and signaled to the waiter to take the tickets, and then personally refilled tea for Zhao Chuan and Cheng Shulan.
After a while, the waiter took out the banknote, and the shopkeeper handed it to Zhao Chuan with both hands, and asked at the same time: "Do you have any other instructions?"
"This..." Zhao Chuan paused, looked outside, and then looked at Cheng Shulan.
"Look at the door, not far away. Do you see those people?" Zhao Chuan pointed to the thugs chasing after him on the street.
The dandy's followers were probably afraid of Han's Bank and did not dare to come in, so they just wandered not far away on the street.
"I saw it." The big shopkeeper bent down and said.
"Go give me a beating!" Zhao Chuan glanced at Cheng Shulan.
"Oh, to what extent, young master?" the shopkeeper still asked respectfully, with a calm tone.
"..." Zhao Chuan pondered for a moment.
"Break their legs!" Cheng Shulan said suddenly, making Zhao Chuan frown in shock.
"No problem! Please wait a moment, sir!" The shopkeeper's tone was still calm, sounding like a gentle breeze blowing through the calm lake water.
The big shopkeeper waved his hand inside, and then a whistle sounded in the backyard, and a dozen men in Tsing Yi, expressionless, holding short sticks in their hands, ducked out of the house.
"Oh! Everyone only needs one leg!" Zhao Chuan stood up and shouted to the people who were leaving the room. Damn it, this woman is too cruel. If she breaks both of her legs, she won't even need a crutch, Zhao Chuan thought to himself.
Zhao Chuanfu sat down and flat-mouthed at Cheng Shulan opposite him, while Cheng Shulan pretended not to notice and lowered his head to drink tea.
A burst of screams made people's hearts tremble, and it only took them two sips of tea. The few people who went out quietly returned to the backyard without saying anything.
"Do you have any other instructions?" the shopkeeper standing next to him asked again.
"Well, tell them that I can heal injuries. I'm nicknamed Ghost Hand Doctor. I can set bones without leaving any traces. They're better than the original ones. I'm temporarily staying at an inn near the South City Gate." Zhao Chuan stood up.
"I understand, please go slowly, young master." The shopkeeper bent down to send him off.
On the way back, Zhao Chuan handed the banknote to Cheng Shulan: "I have money this time, spend it as you like."
Cheng Shulan said, "Isn't it just one hundred taels? How else can I spend it casually?"
Zhao Chuan said, "Don't worry, someone will send it to you when you get back."
Cheng Shulan glanced at Zhao Chuan and was full of suspicion: "What's going on with your jade plaque?"
Zhao Chuan replied: "We'll talk about it when we get back."
Zhao Chuan and Cheng Shulan wandered back. Zhao Chuan stopped to watch whatever scenery he saw, as if nothing had happened before.
This day has been full of good and bad things, and it has been quite twists and turns. Cheng Shulan has no intention of wandering around anymore and just wants to go back and rest quickly. However, Zhao Chuan seems to be interested in everything, and Cheng Shulan is embarrassed to spoil his fun. .
After wandering for a full hour, Zhao Chuan and Cheng Shulan returned to Nanchengmen Street.
Far away from the inn, I saw the waiter waiting anxiously by the roadside. When he saw the two coming, the waiter hurriedly came to greet them, "You two dare to come back? Let's go!"
"What's going on?" Zhao Chuan asked calmly.
The waiter said that a group of people came to the store, led by a local gang leader called Lao Yan Wang, saying that you injured the young master and that he was waiting for you angrily.
"King of Hell? Isn't this the highest official in the underworld below? Why did he come to the human world?" Zhao Chuan pretended to be confused and asked the waiter with a smile.
"Oh, don't ask! They are really bad. Your old family member has been tied up in the inn by them. Let's go! Otherwise you won't be able to survive. These people want you to die in the second watch and won't let you live in the third watch. !”
Cheng Shulan was a little scared and nervously asked Zhao Chuan if he wanted to go back to the Korean bank to find someone.
Zhao Chuan said no, they didn't dare to do anything to him this time, but on the contrary, they were still asking for it.
When I entered the inn, I saw a group of people in the lobby. They looked fierce and no one was eating.
"Did you injure my young master?" An old man asked first with a sullen face, while pointing at the two dudes next to him who were crying out in pain.
"No." Zhao Chuan said calmly.
"Nonsense! It's you who injured the legs, as well as the legs of these servants!" The two dandy boys shouted hysterically.
"Aren't you telling the truth? You teased my young lady while we were having dinner in the restaurant, and you two hit me. I was the one who was hurt. Is this true? Go to the restaurant and ask, and you will find out." Zhao Chuan is neither arrogant nor humble.
"Didn't you instruct the Han family bank to break the legs of those servants?"
"I just went to withdraw money. If you were beaten, what does it have to do with me?"
"What are you talking about with him? Kidnap people and take them up the mountain! Pay the invoice to redeem them!" A bald man with a sinister face slammed the table.
Several people rushed over and grabbed Zhao Chuan's arms, trying to tie him up with ropes.
Zhao Chuan laughed, not afraid at all, "So you are a group of bandits. But this is a good idea! The money comes quickly, but I'm afraid that the ransom for kidnapping has not arrived yet, and the injuries of these two young masters are very serious. I had good intentions before You are doing this to save them, it seems these two are not far from death!"
Someone asked what this means?
Zhao Chuan said that he was a doctor with extraordinary medical skills and was proficient in the art of Qi and Huang. He was nicknamed Ghost Hand Doctor. These two young men have been eating, drinking, and gambling for a long time. The poison has already accumulated in their blood, and now it has accumulated on the chest. The whole body has already smelled of blood and turned black. They must not be agitated. If I hadn't kicked him in the chest to clear his Qi veins in the restaurant, he would have died long ago...
"You're talking nonsense!" the dandy boy shouted.
"Don't scream! If you get too excited, you'll vomit blood! If you don't believe me, let's take a look." Zhao Chuan sighed.
When the old man heard this, he bit his ears with the people around him, and then waved his hand. Someone came over immediately and pricked the finger of a young man, and dripped blood into a small wine cup.
The old man looked at the wine cup, then dipped his fingers into some blood, rubbed it, put it to his nose and smelled it, and then his face changed drastically.
"Let go of this magic doctor!" The old man waved his hand, "Please sit down and watch tea!"
"You are so young, but you have such medical attainments. It is a rare talent!" The old man was full of praise for Zhao Chuan.
Everyone in the room was in a daze. But the old man treated Zhao Chuan respectfully and personally delivered the teacup to Zhao Chuan.
The old man said it was a misunderstanding and he was offended.
Zhao Chuan said it was okay. If you have any advice, please tell me.
The old man begged Zhao Chuan to save the two young masters.
Zhao Chuan said it was easy, but it was a chronic disease that required intensive care and could not be cured in three or two days.
The old man said he knew, and said that he also came from a family with medical skills in his early years and knew something about it.
Old man, let's heal the servant's broken leg first. I've heard people say before that you are a ghost-hand doctor who specializes in bone healing. You can set bones without leaving any traces and it's even better than the original one. Is this true?
Zhao Chuan smiled and said that it was because outsiders praised him, but it was true that he could walk immediately after the bones were attached!
The old man smiled happily and kept saying it was very good! Please ask Zhao Chuan to go with them to a place for treatment.
Zhao Chuan said he could go, but he had to make an agreement first: the cost of out-of-town medical treatment was very high, unless it was cheaper at his own medical clinic.
The old man smiled and said how high the gold can be when going out, just say it.
Zhao Chuan stretched out his finger and said that each person would receive a gold ingot, 50 taels! And you have to give a deposit first to show your sincerity.
"50 taels! Gold ingot! He's really more ruthless than the robbers and bandits!" The bald man with a sinister face slammed the table again in anger, causing a tea bowl to fall to the ground.
The bald man said that he had been a bandit for half his life, but he was not as powerful as you, Zhao Chuan. Everyone said that the underworld leader here, Old King of Hell, was ruthless, and you were even more ruthless than Old King of Hell!
Zhao Chuan pretended to be stunned and asked who was the old King of Hell?
The bald man said that the old man in front of you is the old man, who is known as "I will tell you to die in the second watch and I will not let you live in the third watch!"
When Zhao Chuan heard this, he stood up and said that I am dead, please let me go, don't scare me, I want to go home.
The old man chuckled and said, stop joking, come on, put down the deposit, and let's go. This place is too shabby and doesn't treat guests well. Go to your home to receive us grandly!
Zhao Chuan said he would wait outside the door, and I went upstairs to prepare and leave.
"Dad! Are you confused? These 50 taels of gold are 500 taels of silver. Is it worth treating a servant's leg? The lives of these servants are not worth this money. It's better to recruit a new one! Damn it! Dad, please think about it again!" The dandy suddenly spoke loudly.
"You bastard! Get out of here! Not enough success, more than enough failure. I've never seen any progress in my thirties..." The old man glared hard and left the inn cursing.
Seeing this group of people getting up to leave, the waiter dared to come in from outside the house.
Zhao Chuan went upstairs, and the waiter followed closely, saying that you couldn't go to the bandit den on the mountain. People who went there never came back, and few people came back intact.
Cheng Shulan didn't want Zhao Chuan to go, and was worried about Zhao Chuan, but Zhao Chuan spoke easily like a normal person.
Zhao Chuan said he was not afraid, they just asked me to treat illnesses, and I also wanted to earn money from them.
Zhao Chuan collected a few hundred taels of silver deposit and gave it to Cheng Shulan. He also gave the waiter a few taels of silver as a tip and told him to take good care of the young lady and Uncle Qin.
A carriage stopped in front of the inn, and Zhao Chuan got on the carriage and followed the group of people to their home.
Yangshan County is located on the border of the three counties, and it can also be said to be a zone with no regard for the three counties. It is precisely because of this reason that it has caused abnormal prosperity and development.
The reason why Yangshan County is said to be a place where no one cares about others is because there is no county magistrate in this county. There is no county magistrate because this place was not originally a city. It is because it is located on a transportation thoroughfare extending in all directions. As time went by, more people lived there, and it spontaneously became the size of a county town.
So each county wanted to send officials to occupy it and collect taxes and silver to make some money. However, the people sent here either disappeared or died suddenly within a short period of time, or ran away within a few days of arriving.
Yangshan County is surrounded by mountains. Once you leave the city gate, you are at the foot of the mountains, which is very close.
After the carriage left the city, someone blindfolded Zhao Chuan, saying that this was the rule, otherwise those who went up the mountain with their eyes open would have to stay on the mountain and become bandits.
Zhao Chuan is a doctor and is only sixteen years old. Of course he doesn't want to fall into the mountains and become a bandit.
