Li Xun retreated from the Ming Zheng Palace, did not leave in a hurry, and waited outside for a while.

It didn't take long for Mu Gong to come out of it, see Li Xun, and chuckle: "Li Xun, why haven't you left yet?" ”

Li Xun walked up and said softly: "Grandpa Mu, why did the emperor's uncle sneer when Xiong Haitao was mentioned just now? ”

"It's not a secret, and it doesn't hurt to tell you." Mu Gong thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty was in exile in the early years, suffered a lot of suffering, until the age of twelve, was able to recognize the first emperor, when Your Majesty first came to the capital, the first place to live, is Xiong Haitao's home, was adopted by Princess Changhua, there are nearly two years, during this period, Princess Changhua personally taught His Majesty a lot of etiquette and knowledge, so Your Majesty and Princess Changhua have a deep feeling, thirty years ago, Princess Changhua was seriously ill, Xiong Haitao personally treated, but unfortunately in the end Princess Changhua still died of illness, since then, His Majesty was extremely disgusted with Xiong Haitao, seven years ago, Li Guifei was ill, His Majesty summoned Xiong Haitao and asked him to enter the palace to treat Li Guifei, Xiong Haitao did not come to the hospital, His Majesty was furious, deprived of all his official positions, and said, Xiong Haitao is not allowed to enter the palace unless summoned. ”

After listening to Mu Gong's narration, Li Xun was silent, he couldn't imagine that Xiong Haitao and Zhao Zhi still had such a past, and even understood why Xiong Haitao washed his hands in a golden basin, even his favorite wife couldn't be cured, what was the use of this medical skill?

Mu Gong glanced at Li Xun and said in a low voice: "The situation in the DPRK and China is very complicated now, you must not involve yourself." ”

Li Xun looked at Mu Gong with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"Zhan Tai Jingming's father, Zhan Tai Yi Huan, is the right attendant of the household department of the current dynasty, and he is a core member of the Left Prime Minister's party, while Huang Xuan is closer to the right Minister Yang Daohe."

Li Xun suddenly realized: "Qin Anming is the person of Liu Ji, the left minister? ”

Mu Gong patted Li Xun on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "They are all His Majesty's people, you can just listen to what I just said, you just know in your heart." ”

Li Xun nodded silently and said no more.

On the way out of the palace, Li Xun was speechless all the way, in the past two years, as he got older and older, Zhao Zhi's suspicion became heavier and heavier, and his trust in the generals was getting lower and lower, and the control was getting stricter and stricter.

Out of the imperial city, Li Xun went to Fan Zhongyun's house.

Xiong Haitao has been busy for a few hours, and today's treatment has come to an end, and Niu's face, which is flushed, has turned pale at this moment, but his breathing is much smoother and more powerful.

"Old, old."

Xiong Haitao pulled out the fine needles on Niu's body, and then sat on the chair, sweating profusely, with a lot of tiredness in his expression.

Fan Zhongyun hurriedly brought a towel, handed it to Xiong Haitao, and said with a grateful face: "Old man Xiong, let your old man be tired." ”

Xiong Haitao shook his head, took the towel, and wiped the sweat from his face.

Li Xun brought a cup of hot water and said with a smile: "Old man Xiong, you haven't treated people for so many years, and this craft doesn't look very unfamiliar!" ”

"Any craft is more and more proficient, put on hold for a long time, and in the end, it will only be wasted."

Yes!

Li Xun was surprised: "Didn't your old man wash his hands thirty years ago?" ”

"You kid is really interesting, the golden basin washing hands just means that I quit from the hospital, and I will not open the museum to the people in the future, it does not mean that I will no longer use medical skills, last month, my youngest grandson was seriously ill, and the old man treated it himself, and then he was cured, if it is according to your meaning, do you want the old man to watch his grandson die?"

Xiong Haitao laughed twice, said such a thing, and then took the hot water in Li Xun's hand and drank it dry.

Li Xun smiled bitterly twice and said: "I heard others say that your former friend was seriously ill, and you didn't help, I thought that after your old man washed his hands, he would no longer treat anyone." ”

Xiong Haitao shook his head: "A former friend does not mean that he will be a friend for a lifetime, the old man is over eighty years old this year, so many friends, and now, how many are still worthy of my relationship?" ”

Li Xun nodded, people will change, after so many years, how many people can still maintain the sincerity they once had?

Xiong Haitao stood up and said: "I just dredged the acupoints for your wife, you don't need to take medicine today, the medicinal materials are all given to you, you immediately raise the fire to cook the medicine, you must cook enough for ten hours, starting tomorrow, every two hours, feed your wife with medicine, half a month later, the old man will come to dredge the acupoints for your wife again, it should be about the same." ”

Li Xun was surprised: "It's that simple? ”

Niu's paralysis in bed for more than ten years, so many doctors can't solve it, Xiong Haitao has only been treated for a few hours, and he has been taking medicine for half a month, and he will be fine?

Xiong Haitao sneered twice, pointed to a package on the table, and said, "What's all the fuss, do you know that the medicinal materials in this package add up to millions of silver?" And even if you have money, it's extremely difficult for you to buy it. ”

Li Xun was taken aback, a million silver?

With a wry smile, Li Xun spread out his hands: "Old man, I have given you all my belongings, and there is really no extra money for your old man." ”

Xiong Haitao smiled: "I've always been in a mood to do things, I'm in a good mood, if you don't give money, I'll help you too, if you're in a bad mood, no matter how much money you give, the old man just looks on coldly." ”

With that, Xiong Haitao turned around and left.

"Lao Fan, I'll go first, I'll send a few people over to help later, and I'll come to see my sister-in-law when I have time."

Li Xun said hello to Fan Zhongyun, and then hurriedly followed Xiong Haitao.

Fan Zhongyun looked at Li Xun's departing back, his lips pursed tightly, and he fell into deep thought.

When he arrived at Xiong Mansion, Xiong Haitao was about to walk into the gate, when he suddenly stopped, looked back at Li Xun, and asked aloud: "The money you gave me is probably stolen from home by your kid, what if your father knows?" ”

Li Xun thought of his father Li Mancang, couldn't help shrinking his head, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that I will be broken into ten thousand pieces and five horses." ”

When Xiong Haitao heard this, he laughed and walked into the house.

Li Xun stole all the money in the family, and after three days, in Li Mancang's shocking screams, he was finally discovered, Li Mancang didn't find anyone, took a stick, and rushed to Li Xun's room.

"Old man, your money is gone, you should go to the government, what are you doing beating me?"

Li Mancang roared angrily: "I didn't say anything, how do you know that my money is gone?" He also said that you didn't take it, and I will kill you, a loser. ”

Li Xun grabbed the stick and cried: "Old man, don't fight, if you fight again, you will die." ”

Li Mancang shot angrily, and he didn't have any sense of proportion, and Li Xun was already bleeding from his head, and his whole body was in pain, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

When Li Mancang saw his son like this, he also regretted that he was too heavy, just such a son, if he really wants to do something, how should he live!

Li Mancang snorted coldly, let go of the hand holding the stick, pointed at Li Xun, and scolded: "What do you want so much money for?" Give it back to me. ”

Li Xun smiled bitterly and told what happened.

After Li Mancang heard this, he was stupid and couldn't speak for a long time.

Looking at the old man like this, Li Xun also felt a little guilty in his heart, but he still took a stick, walked past him lightly, and fled.

was about to ask Shangjiang Daxiong to go out to hide for a few days, but he saw Fan Zhongyun walking slowly.

"Old Fan, why are you here?"

"I'm coming for you, of course."

Fan Zhongyun smiled, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, and handed them to Li Xun: "This is what Old Man Xiong asked me to return to you." ”

Li Xun was stunned, then counted the silver tickets, one was a lot, looked at Fan Zhongyun, and said puzzledly: "He has already lost, and now if he returns the money to me, won't he lose even more?" ”

Fan Zhongyun sighed and said, "Old Man Xiong said that medicine is used to save people, not to sell for money. ”

Li Xun also sighed: "There are still such people in the world, I, Li Xun, have opened my eyes." ”

Li Xun called a subordinate and asked him to hand over the silver ticket to Li Mancang, and then led Fan Zhongyun to the living room.

"Sister-in-law is better?"

Fan Zhongyun nodded, and said with a happy face: "Old Man Xiong is worthy of being a miracle doctor in the world, and when the medicine is cured, my wife will be cured." ”

"That's great, when my sister-in-law recovers, I can taste my sister-in-law's craft again."

Fan Zhongyun looked at Li Xun's sincere smile, his heart was extremely moved, and he suddenly said: "Li Xun, I'm by your side, find something to do." ”
