Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Little Trial
When night falls in Yuzhou, the lights on the still noisy streets are lit up one after another, and people are bustling through the lively night market in Yuzhou City. However, at this moment, in the Yuzhou Mansion at the end of the main street of Yuzhou, a peerless knight who was famous ten years ago is enduring the punishment of whipping in the dungeon of the mansion, and the purpose of Taishou Zhou Xuan's torture on him is to force out where a little girl who was rescued by this person from the Shuitian Pavilion annihilation tragedy planned by this person is now. However, after several days of inhuman torture, Ling Wanli, the "Yunmeng Sword Sect" of the year, still gritted his teeth and never opened his mouth to reveal a word to Zhou Xuan's subordinates.
"How? It's been three days, has there been some progress? Zhou Xuan stroked his beard and walked in slowly and leisurely through the dungeon gate.
"Yu Taishou, the little ones are incompetent, and they haven't been able to dig up any useful news from this mouth." One of his men replied respectfully.
"Ling Daxia, why are you suffering, for a Jianghu sect that has disappeared for many years and a little girl who is not related to you, you have to suffer such flesh and skin here, I feel sorry for you!" Zhou Xuan lifted Ling Wanli's chin and asked expressionlessly staring at his weather-beaten face. Ling Wanli slowly opened his eyes, and then stared at Zhou Xuan blankly for a long time and was silent.
Zhou Xuan reluctantly waved his hand at the hand holding the whip, and then his hand continued to whip and whip on Ling Wanli's somewhat old body, accompanied by the blood oozing out of his clothes, dripping on the cold ground of the dungeon.
"No matter what method you use, let him speak to me, if you don't cut down the descendants of Chu Yi, the master of the Shuitian Pavilion as soon as possible, it will be a little difficult for Ben Taishou to sleep." Zhou Xuan shouted to his subordinates in the dungeon when he left the dungeon.
At the same time, Zhou Xuanxin thought about Chu Birou, the daughter of Chu Yi, the owner of the Paddy Field Pavilion, who wanted to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, after several days of hard work, she finally completely drained the residual poison of the peacock gall in Gao Che's body, and Gao Che, who was lying on the sickbed, gradually recovered a little vitality, and his originally pale face gradually eased. The exhausted Chu Birou gently wiped the sweat oozing from her face with a towel, and then helped Gao Che lie down and lightly covered him with the quilt before turning around and walking out of the room.
After about half an hour, Gao Che slowly opened his eyes and woke up, and the deputy general next to the bed was immediately excited when he saw him wake up, and hurriedly went out to find hot water for Gao Che to drink. After composing himself, he put his left hand on his forehead and closed his eyes, recalling the staccato images that came to his mind after his poisoning, and the most memorable moment was when a bright and moving woman pushed open the door and walked quickly to him, and then sat on the edge of his bed, staring at him with a worried expression. Recalling the woman's peugeot and otherworldly countenance, he felt as if a fairy had come down to earth to save his life.
"General, come, please drink water." The lieutenant respectfully handed a cup of hot water to Gao Che.
"By the way, Feng Gan, was there a woman here to treat me before? I still vaguely recall that there was a woman next to my bed. Goucher asked his lieutenant a little implicitly.
"Oh, the general must be referring to the shopkeeper here, that girl's name is Chu Birou, and she is also a well-known divine doctor in Chengdu City. The last general saw that the general's body was fine today, and it seems that this Chu girl really deserves her reputation! The lieutenant said to Gao Che with a hearty smile.
"I see, Chu ...... Biore? Ben Jiang had also heard of it, but he didn't expect that she was still such a young and beautiful girl. Gao Che muttered Chu Birou's name, and a smile appeared on his face as if he had met a surprise.
However, just as the two people in the house were talking happily, the sound of quarrels in the front hall of the Thousand Medicine Hall kept becoming more and more obvious, and then Chu Birou walked quickly past Gao Che's house and was seen by Gao Che, and he speculated that someone should be looking for trouble with the Thousand Medicine Hall. Because he was worried that Chu Birou would be difficult for a young woman to deal with, Gao Che didn't care about Feng Qian's advice to reveal his identity, and immediately rushed to the front hall after putting on his coat.
At this moment, in the front hall, three middle-aged people shouted in the front hall of Qianyaotang for Xiao Wu to call out the shopkeeper to confront him, and one of them also waved a blank piece of paper with words written on it to the crowd of onlookers at the door to incite the Qianyaotang grass to kill people, and actually let people take quinoa and ginseng at the same time in the prescription, fortunately they went back and found out in time after asking other doctors, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Fueled by the other two, there were more and more onlookers in front of the Thousand Medicine Hall, and many people who didn't know the truth followed these three people and began to coax.
Just as Xiao Wu blocked the three of them from entering the inner hall, Chu Birou opened the door curtain behind Xiao Wu and walked out, and said to the three that he was Chu Birou, the shopkeeper of the Thousand Medicine Hall, and he should look for her if there was anything.
As soon as the three of them saw that Chu Birou was a young woman who didn't seem to have much experience in the rivers and lakes, they suddenly came to their senses, and the person holding the prescription directly crumpled the prescription in his hand and threw it in her face, and then spoke ill of her, and asked Qianyaotang to compensate them with 1,000 taels as a punishment for "Cao Kan's life". Xiao Wu was suddenly angry when he saw Chu Birou being smashed in the face by the paper ball, although he was half a head shorter than the three of them, he still did not hesitate to wave his fist and prepare to rush up and fight with the three of them, but fortunately, he was stopped by Chu Birou from behind in time.
Chu Birou held back the anger in her heart, slowly squatted down and picked up the paper ball, opened it, and began to check the contents of the prescription. She noticed that although the handwriting and placement deliberately mimicked Xiao Wu's handwriting, she could still tell from some of the details between the lines that the prescription was just a fake that had been deliberately copied to confuse the public.
She then took out a prescription that Xiao Wu had prescribed before from a cabinet in the pharmacy and compared it with this prescription, and put the two prescriptions in front of the three of them at the same time, and said coldly to the three of them: "I admit that your imitation level is indeed very good, but the fake is fake after all, and with a fake prescription, you will try to deceive in the Thousand Medicine Hall, but don't even think about it!" ”
"What? Hmph, how do we know if you have some kind of conspiracy to deceive everyone, for example, get a prescription that deliberately modifies the notes, don't think that grandpas will fall for you yellow-haired girl! The middle-aged man who was holding the prescription before was still unrelenting after seeing the comparison results.
"Then you can go to the official, anyway, our Qianyaotang has been operating safely in Chengdu City for many years, and we have always sat up straight, and we have never been afraid of such a child's play." Chu Birou said in a very casual tone to the three people in front of her who were like clowns jumping off the beam.
"Hmph, big brother, it's come to this, what are you doing with this little girl, why don't you teach her a good lesson, how can you let her know that we are amazing." Another tall and strong middle-aged man instigated the other two to prepare to directly use force against Chu Birou. Xiao Wu picked up a wooden stick from his side and rushed towards the three of them, but was soon beaten aside by the three of them. Behind Xiao Wu, Gao Che was hiding behind the curtain of the door, secretly but closely watching the situation in front of him, and when he saw Xiao Wu being beaten aside, he immediately clenched his fists.
"Stinky girl, look at you look good, the uncle can't bear to slap your little face, why don't you be the concubine of this uncle, and the uncles will let you and your pharmacy go, how about it? Hahaha! The leader of the group smiled and aggressively approached Chu Birou, who was already angry.
When Chu Birou clenched her fists and was about to fight back, a tall figure suddenly rushed out of the curtain and kicked the leader to the ground, and then after several rounds of fighting, the other two people were easily beaten and rolled all over the ground, wailing nonstop.
"There is even a helper, and the brothers gave it to me and slaughtered him!" The leader who was kicked to the ground gave an order, and four more people rushed out of the crowd of onlookers and attacked Gao Che. I saw that Gao Che took a fighting posture unhurriedly, and then under the siege of five people, including the leader, he repelled these thugs one after another in a light tossing and turning. Among them, the leader who was beaten to the ground quietly picked up a firewood knife beside him and wanted to suddenly attack Gao Che from behind, but fortunately, Chu Birou found out and stepped on the hand of the leader who wanted to hold the knife and kicked the firewood knife away, and then kicked it out of the door of the Thousand Medicine Hall with a hard kick.
Seeing that the boss was kicked out of the door, the minions fled from the Thousand Medicine Hall one after another to help the leader, and the troublemakers saw that the enemy was no more than Gao Che, so they fled in a hurry after leaving behind the cruel words, and the crowd outside the door gradually dispersed.
"Thank you for your help today, but Childe's body has not fully recovered, and I hope that Childe will go back to the back hall to rest as soon as possible!" Chu Birou thanked Gao Che and prepared to take Gao Che back to the back hall to rest.
"Heh, the strength of the girl's kick is also very surprising, it seems that the girl must also be extraordinary, today is Gao is a little nosy." Gao Che said to Chu Birou with a somewhat self-deprecating smile.
"It doesn't matter, since the son is willing to stand up to help, how can the little woman stop it. What's more, when she was healing Childe's injuries, the little woman felt the strong internal force in Childe's body, and presumably a group of rats crossing the street were definitely not Childe's opponents. ”
"Miss Chu, I've won the award, I don't dare to be ashamed!"
The two looked at each other and smiled and returned to the room where Gao Che was, and after Gao Che lay on the bed, Chu Birou mentioned to Gao Che that the poison of peacock gall is rare in the world, and the poison is very valuable, she feels a little curious about how Gao Che got this poison in his body, and who poisoned him. However, Gao Che replied that he couldn't remember what he had taken to poison him, and as for the person who poisoned him, he mentioned that because he was often assigned to deal with the affairs of the Jianghu sect in Dashu as the deputy commander of Xuanwuwei, there must be many enemies in the rivers and lakes, and it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to track it down.
While the two of them were thinking about the source of the poison of the peacock gall together, a rapid knock suddenly came from outside the room, which made the nerves that had just relaxed instantly tense again. But soon, they found out that it was Xiao Wu who knocked on the door, and he was knocking on the door at the moment and said to Chu Birou that there was a person she knew before in the medicine hall, and this person looked out of breath as if he had just rushed here, listening to his hurried tone, it seemed that there was something urgent to talk to the shopkeeper about. Chu Birou then told Gao Che to recuperate in the room, and she followed Xiao Wu to the front hall quickly, and then a familiar figure appeared in front of her.
