Chapter 113: Temptation

Thomas watched from behind Philip as he wrote down the story little by little, and as Philip wrote, the truth of the matter gradually surfaced.

It turned out that although Philip's medical skills were good, he offended a housekeeper in the City Lord's Mansion because of a small accident, and that butler happened to handle the affairs of Philip's Hospital. This offense is naturally followed by bad luck, almost no patients come to the door for a whole year, and Philip's family is so poor that they can't open the pot.

As a result, late one night half a year ago, an old man came to the hospital and said that he wanted to register an account.

This is the tradition of traveling doctors, generally traveling doctors to a city, only those who have no ability to walk the streets, and those who have the ability will find a medical hall to register. Generally speaking, this is a win-win thing that is good for both the traveling doctor and the medical center. Of course, there must be some examination before, otherwise it will be troublesome to encounter quacks.

Although Philip was a little greedy for money, he was still kind-hearted, and he saw that the old man was very old, and although his hospital was in trouble, he agreed. After some consideration, he found that this old man's medical skills were amazing, and he could not compare with them at all. After many attempts, I was shocked to find that this old man was actually the famous doctor Li Shizhen.

For the next ten days, Li Shizhen sat in the hospital. Of course, there was no business at first, but after Mars knew Li Shizhen's identity, he spread the news. Li Shizhen's fame is so great that even the emperors of the three major countries and the sect masters of the four major sects will treat him as a guest. As soon as he heard that it was Li Shizhen sitting in Philip's hall, someone soon came, and it turned out that Li Shizhen really deserved to be a famous doctor, and several serious illnesses that were destined to die in the eyes of others were cured in two strokes in three strokes.

The housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion was naturally not convinced, and wanted to provoke a scene, but of course the result was very miserable, not only was he slapped in the face on the spot, but the city lord who knew the news even broke the butler's leg even crawled with a roll, as an apology for Li Shizhen, and announced in public that the housekeeper would be beaten out of the City Lord's Mansion.

As for the butler's fate, it was naturally not too good, but Philip didn't say anything specific, but only mentioned that it was related to Mars.

After Li Shizhen sat in the hall for ten days, he left mysteriously in the middle of the night, just like when he came. When he left, he left behind a prescription called the Sixteen Flavor Qi Replenishing Pill, which was regarded as a kind of reward and support for Philip.

If the matter ends here, then nothing will change, the reputation of the Philip Medical Center has been played, and the housekeeper who embarrassed them is also finished, so even if there is no Li Shizhen, it will not be difficult for the Philip Medical Center to maintain.

But the greed of human nature made things change at this time.

Mars has been mixed in the three religions and nine streams all the year round, and learned a trick to pretend to be a ghost, after Li Shizhen left, he came up with an idea, that is, he disguised himself as Li Shizhen, and then sold the prescription left by Li Shizhen at a high price to change his identity and make a lot of money.

Philip has good medical skills, good medical ethics, and a good heart, but there is one point, greed for money. After seeing his son disguised as Li Shizhen, he was indistinguishable from the truth, and was fascinated by the future of the money that his son said, so he agreed like this.

After that, the father and son began to pretend to be ghosts, and claimed to the public that Li Shizhen had invented a nine-turn pill that cured diseases and strengthened the body without diseases. In fact, it is the recipe of the sixteen flavor qi tonifying pills, and two herbs that can make people a little excited are added to it, and after eating it, it will give people a sense of excitement, and it feels like a miracle medicine.

Because Li Shizhen had already made a name for himself in Elder before, all the patients in the city wanted to see him, and when he left, he was completely silent and no one knew, so he was really fooled by Mars and everyone.

The Sixteen Flavor Qi Replenishing Pill itself is a kind of warm and tonic medicine, only a very small number of people can't eat it, others do have the effect of strengthening the body after eating it, and Philip is so lucky, just when the Sixteen Flavor Qi Replenishing Pill was advertised as a Nine Turning Heaven Pill and sold, he happened to meet a patient who was specifically targeted by this medicine. That patient was a wealthy man in the city, indulging in alcohol, and his body was hollowed out, which happened to be the most targeted disease of the Sixteen Flavor Qi Replenishing Pills. So it works as soon as you eat it.

So the next step can be described as a daily profit, and Philip, who originally wanted to stop in a month, fell into the cycle of "I must stop next month".

But there are no impermeable walls in this world. The fake is a fake, and the truth was soon discovered by Pang Bo, but Pang Bo did not expose them, but just extorted a lot of money, and Mars, a cold-blooded guy, first sent his sister-in-law out to appease Pang Bo, and promised to divide it fifty-fifty in the future. This temporarily calmed down the turmoil.

At this point, Thomas put the supply away and said with a smile: "Is your medicine really not killing anyone?" ”

Philip was already frightened, and he didn't react to the reason why the other party suddenly didn't let him write it down, but just said resignedly: "Yes, there is a young man named Andy." His mother's condition was not enough to take this medicine, but when Andy came to me, I was in the process of surgery, and I was received by Mars. He didn't know how to heal, so he sold the medicine. As a result, Andy's mother died the next day after taking the medicine. That's when Andy came to the door again, and I found out what had happened! ”

"Oh? So what do you do next? Thomas asked again.

"I, we're ......," Philip had a look of shame, shame, and fear on his face.

"Say!" Thomas slapped the table and snorted.

Philip trembled all over, almost shrunk under the table, and hurriedly explained: "I was frightened and didn't know what to do, but Mars said he was going to deal with it." I didn't have a master for a while, and I thought he was going to take the money to buy Andy, so I agreed. As a result, when he came back, I found out that he went to Pombo and the gangsters on Chelsea Street to kill Andy! ”

Speaking of this, Philip covered his face and cried: "I really didn't expect him to do this, I really didn't expect it." But people are dead, what can I do? Mars told me that if he didn't die, we would all die, and I didn't want to die, so, so ......"

"So he's going to die?" Thomas snorted, his eyes full of disdain.

"But I've saved so many people, and I'm already atoning for my sins! I, I later reduced the price of the pills by 20%, and I have personally seen everyone who sells the pills, and I will never sell them if they are not suitable for eating. And, and ......" Philip cried out with a handful of snot and tears: "I have nightmares every night, but, but ......"

But he couldn't turn back. Even if he wanted to pull out, Mars wouldn't agree, and Pompo wouldn't agree. By the time he had promised to go down to Mars, there was no turning back.

"Finally, let me ask you a question, is it really Li Shizhen who left by himself? Or did you kill him? Thomas asked in a deep voice.

Philip almost knelt down: "No, no, I really didn't kill Master Li, he went by himself, it's true, he said he was going to Illano." Really, if the Commander went to Illano to investigate, he should know that Master Li had been there! ”

"Okay, I'll believe you once. A greedy word will ruin your life in the end! Remember not to be so greedy in the next life! Thomas sneered, called the soldier in, handed the confession to the soldier, and instructed: "Take Philip and the confession, and the body of Mars to the lord of the city, and the commander will arrive later!" ”

"Yes!" The soldier carefully collected his confession.

As soon as Philip heard "Mars's corpse", his face changed, and the blood on his face receded, as if all the strength of his body had been drained.

"Hmph, as a doctor, he doesn't practice medical ethics, he collects money by cheating, and when things are exposed, he kills people and kills people, which is simply mad. Death, it's already a cheap end. Think about it, if Li Shizhen wants to investigate you for pretending to be him, how will the city lord deal with you, and it will be difficult for you to die when you want to! With a wave of his hand, Thomas told the soldiers to take Philip, who was slumped to the ground in fright.

After all the soldiers were gone, Thomas slowly left the infirmary, but instead of going in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, he walked into the alley in the other direction, and when he came out of the alley again, he was already a different look.

"Boss, did you ask about the situation?" Po walked out of the shadows.

Tang Dou smiled: "Of course, the boss personally went out, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Boss, I don't understand, you yourself become the commander to ask Philip, why do you have to deceive a team of soldiers, this matter will definitely be exposed, won't it be exposed at that time?" Po asked with some concern.

"You're right, I did it on purpose. That Three-Eyed Joe actually knew who I was, but he didn't know what I looked like. In other words, the identity of me Yao Ding has been passed on, and this disappearance also includes information that I have the ability to transform. It's dangerous, but it's also an opportunity. If that city lord knows that someone is pretending to be the commander of Talar, but there is no further action, then it means that the news about me is only spreading secretly, and it may only be known to people like Three-Eyed Qiao and others. But if the city lord has launched an operation, then it means that even the official has received the news. ”

Tang Dou sighed and said: "Whether my news is only spread in the rivers and lakes, or whether even the official knows about it, this is very important, and it will affect our actions in the future." ”

Po nodded: "I understand." Boss, you're going to test it! So what do we do next? ”

"Wait!" Tang Dou looked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion: "Hopefully, it won't be the worst situation!" (To be continued.) )
