"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine...... Twenty-one, twenty-two, Professor Shen, three more. ”

Twenty-two gallows, twenty-two corpses fluttering in the wind. It's hard not to feel scared, especially when there's a good chance they'll become the next twenty-three, twenty-four.

The crowd of onlookers had already noticed the purpose of Wu Xiaoqing and his party, because they had been in front of the king's medical list for a long time. And like those doctors in the past, they are very carefully examining the strange medicines, appliances, and even witchcraft they brought before unveiling the list of doctors.

"What's the temperature of the refrigerator?" What about blood glucose meters...... Check the radios, change the batteries, and use them to escape when the time comes. ”

After making sure that all the details were no longer a problem, Wu Xiaoqing strode forward and signaled to the clerk on duty below the list, who was dozing off in a chair at this time. After being woken up by Wu Xiaoqing, he was stunned for a moment, and after seeing clearly that there were four people in Wu Xiaoqing's party, he confirmed: "The four of you together?" ”

"Four together." The voice of the search and rescue team answered for Wu Xiaoqing.

"There must be one for the Lord...... "The clerk carefully looked at the four in front of him, two young, one in the prime of life, and one old. But without exception, they all looked like they came from wealthy families, not only because of the horses and armor behind them, but also because of the look on their faces and figures. A person who nibbles on black bread will not have so much flesh on his face, and his skin will be so smooth.

The clerk tactfully reminded the four fools: "The other three can be seen in the name of assistants......"

Wu Xiaoqing shook his head and replied resolutely: "No, the four of us are together, and the king's illness must be treated by the four of us together." ”

Seeing that Wu Xiaoqing's brain seemed to be a little uneasy, the clerk lowered his voice and reminded: "If it is in the name of an assistant, it will not be ...... after failure" and then turned around and looked at the whole row of long gallows. He didn't say it explicitly, but it was almost the same as saying it explicitly - if it was an assistant, he would not go to the gallows after failure.

But Wu Xiaoqing made full preparations for this detail before they came, so the search and rescue team also firmly repeated it: "No, it must be four." Otherwise, we won't be able to share the pay. ”

Remuneration is an excuse, and the real reason is only for self-defense. If the other three are assistants, then only one attending doctor can go to the scene of the doctor's visit. It is difficult to rule out whether this king will suddenly go crazy and drown Wu Xiaoqing in his own toilet like the last unlucky egg. The four of them are together, at least at a critical time, and the firepower formed by the four pistols can still help them buy a little time.

Four idiots who don't have open eyes! If you fail, you'll have three fewer deaths! And I can save money on wood for three gallows! The clerk's heart was almost about to shout out his subtext.

He roared in a low voice at the three people behind Wu Xiaoqing, as if to remind them of something, but he didn't get the slightest response.

The young fool in front of him even questioned the time the clerk had deliberately given them to think in silence.

"You can go and inform the Medical Secretary," the search and rescue team urged him, "time is tight, and the King's condition can change at any time." ”

It's that your state of life and death will change soon! The clerk cursed in his heart, all these doctors who came, each one was full of confidence, and in the experience of the clerk, the more confident he was, the faster he often died.

He got up from his chair and commanded one of the two soldiers behind him, who seemed to be of a lower rank than him, "Lance, as always, this time four." Change a carpenter and tell him that the quality should be good, and that this batch of people is tall and strong. The rope should be thicker, the rain you bought last time was scattered, or the corpse still falls, and you are responsible for hoisting him back then! ”

Then he raised his head solemnly, looked at the sun and temperature in the sky, and said to the other: "Famu, you must remember it clearly this time, go and report to the prince first, and then report to the medical minister when the prince agrees, otherwise you will wait to come back and be whipped." ”

Shen Changwen was a little sensitive to this official's rambling words, and Wang Youquan was even more scared, and secretly asked Wu Xiaoqing: "What are they going to do?" Didn't you call someone to arrest us? ”

"It's okay, one is to inform," Wu Xiaoqing's face changed, and explained to them, "There is another one that has been ordered for us to have a gallows, and he said that he wants good quality." ”

Xu Yan glanced at Wu Xiaoqing: "Brother, we will all rely on you this time......

Wu Xiaoqing didn't speak, how could he be calm in his heart. If the search and rescue team were in front of him at this moment, I am afraid that he would say the same thing to Xu Yan as he did.

The clerk began to register them, check their luggage, and interrogate their origins, all of which Wu Xiaoqing and the search and rescue team had strict preparations. There was no trouble, but during the clerk's interrogation, the crowd of onlookers had apparently realized that there was new big news to look forward to in the royal city of Elis - four doctors had arrived at once!

"The carpenter who made the gallows is crazy about it."

"One day, two days at most, they'll hang up the gallows."

"They have four...... Maybe one by one, I bet on four days, and by the fifth day they will die together. ”

“…… A whole gold coin? It's crazy......"

"Four people bet on one gold coin, and we gambled half of it before one person."

"Do you say they are from the Little Yang Sect or the Great Yang Sect?"

"The last time I came was the Little Yang Sect, this time it should be the turn of the Great Yang Sect......

"I don't see it that way, how much to bet? ……”

It's okay if the other three don't understand the words of this world, but here in Wu Xiaoqing, what everyone said has become subtitles that are quickly swiped down in front of them, and they can be seen clearly. Among the discussions of these people, even the most optimistic expectations for them thought that they would not stay for half a month. Everyone is unanimous in their final outcome, that is, they will be hung on the gallows, and everyone is just curious, what will the process be like? Will there be a lot of story-telling details in the middle? For example, being drowned in the toilet by the king's own hands was interesting enough for King Elise and the hapless doctor to make a statement.

Soon someone walked through the crowd and came to the clerk's side, Wu Xiaoqing looked at them and said a few words, then turned around and comforted the other three people: "This is a carpenter." ”

The carpenter came to inspect his client, after all, this was his first time in contact with such a large order. Several previous carpenters had messed up their work because they didn't take into account the seriousness and enormity of the job. For example, in the first batch of gallows, the carpenters thought that the king was just to vent his anger and temporarily hung a group of people, but the batch of gallows began to sway after half a year, and almost fell apart.

The professional carpenter carefully looked at everyone's height with critical eyes, especially for Wang Youquan, the tallest and strongest among them, his eyes stayed on him for a long time, as if his size would be a rather difficult challenge to his work. After visiting the client, he went back to fetch the clerk, and the two began to bargain again.

“…… No, it's not enough to buy wood. ”

"Hell, this is the highest price I can make," the clerk roared in a low voice as he had just reminded Wu Xiaoqing, "Look at their clothes, they are very elegant, they can be worth a lot of money!" ”

"How could it be my turn to wear clothes?" The carpenter looked like I didn't understand the market, and took it for granted, "When I sent it over, it wasn't the essence of being picked, and I even had to prepare the strips of cloth that were blocked." As for their armor, they would be snatched up as soon as they were dragged out of the king's bedchamber. ”

Wu Xiaoqing is very uncomfortable with this feeling, when he is still alive, being treated as a corpse. But instead of stopping it, the two in front of them began to quarrel over the price.

In the end, it was the soldier named Famu who came back and stopped their quarrel in time. It didn't take long for the crowd to be separated by the guards, and Wu Xiaoqing turned his head and saw a guy dressed luxuriously, with a strong smell of perfume on his body, and a thick layer of * rubbing on his face, appeared in front of him.

"Your Excellency Rudos," the clerk saluted the nobleman, and then pointed to Wu Xiaoqing and the four of them to introduce him, "these are the four." ”

The Baron, who was said to be the King's Minister of Medicine, looked at the four men and said to them, "Come with me." ”

The four men rode horses and followed Rudos through the streets and crowds, all pointing fingers at them along the way, and even rushing to touch the four of them—many people in this era believed that after being touched by the dead, bad luck would be carried to hell along with the death of the dead.

They eventually saw tall castles, wide moats, huge drawbridges, strong gates, and guards shuttling through the floors. Unlike the guards they saw outside, many of the guards here were wearing armor and almost all of them were holding swords of the same standard - the uniform equipment itself meant combat effectiveness and training.

This made the four of them more and more uneasy, because it was more difficult to escape.

When he entered the palace gates, the baron called two guards and searched everyone one by one.

The horses were taken away, the swords were snatched away, and the guards even had surprises and sneers on their faces at the sight of the armor they wore inside.

Surprise is naturally an extra chance to make a fortune, and ridicule is aimed at their stupidity, obviously these guards do not think that a layer of armor can pose any threat to the sword in their hand. As for the most important guns, they were unsuspecting. They seem to genuinely believe the explanation provided by the search and rescue team – these little pieces of metal are just some magic props.

When the search was over, the four of them walked into the palace together, and the baron called a waiter and asked him a few words in a whisper.

Then he sat down the four of them, poured a glass of water for each of them, and comforted them: "Your luck is good, the toilet has just been cleaned, and Your Majesty has just relieved it once." Do you send one person to do the urine test, or do you do it together, or do you take turns? ”

Just when a few people were still feeling the blind for the medical procedures of this era - shouldn't they be allowed to see the king first, the patient? The waiter who had just been asked had already come out with the toilet, and they carefully poured out the urine and put it in several special wooden cups, and then brought the cups over and put a small amount in front of everyone.

Wu Xiaoqing was sure that this was undoubtedly urine, and this smell was something that anyone could smell.

He just wanted to ask the baron what this meant, but found that the baron was looking at him with a smile, and the expression could be seen without Wu Xiaoqing, the translator of the search and rescue team, he was simply saying: "I know your profession, I am ready, hurry, take advantage of the heat and taste it." ”
