Chapter 144: Huang Zhong is about to take the bait
Jingzhou, Changsha County, Changsha Zhonglang will be Huang Zhong's mansion.
"Master, madam, Xu Gongzi ......"
Huang Zhong's wife, Wang, exclaimed, "Quick, what's wrong with Xu'er?" ”
The old housekeeper said excitedly: "When Mr. Xu got up this morning, he didn't have asthma, and his voice was crisper. ”
"What?"
Huang Zhonghu's body was shocked, and he came back to his senses after half a sound, and said to the Wang family: "You go to see Xu'er, and the old man will go to find the big businessman Jia Holei." ”
Wang nodded again and again, and then turned back to Huang Zhong and said: "You go to invite people this time, don't take out your stinky temper, people have sent you medicine again and again, you either scold people for being unscrupulous merchants, or people are charlatans, they will only cheat people out of money, if I didn't secretly bring back three pills from him, how could Xu'er get better." ”
"Madame's lesson is that the old man remembers."
Huang Zhong happily accepted the lesson of his wife, there was no way, everyone was already forty, but unfortunately there was only one son and one daughter under his knees, and this only son Huang Xu was also infected with a strange disease, and he searched all over Jingzhou, and no one could cure him.
Even Zhang Zhongjing, who has a good hand in Danqing, has no way to start, the family has no hope, and never thought that a month ago, the high-profile businessman Jia Huohuo came uninvited, and he had a magic elixir that could treat Huang Xu.
It's just that this elixir, no more, no less, costs a thousand taels of gold.
Over the years, in order to treat Huang Xu's illness, Huang Zhong can be said to have gone bankrupt, and even the two concubines he married have run away, and he has no money in his hands.
At that moment, Huang Zhong directly drove Huo Lei out and scolded him for being a charlatan.
Huo Lei was driven out, and he was not disappointed, but he still went to Huangfu once every three days to sell medicine, but the price changed every three days, adding one hundred taels each time, and the angry Huang Zhong directly asked his subordinates to drive Huo Lei out.
Don't be, Huang Zhong didn't pry into Huo Lei's deeds, but Huang Zhong's wife, that is, Huang Xu's mother-in-law, Wang Shi, was moved.
How can there be a mother who doesn't love her son, so the Wang family went to see Huo Lei in private, and said bluntly: "I am willing to buy a pill for five hundred taels of gold." ”
Poor! is really poor, these five hundred taels of gold are all the savings in the house, but the Wang family had to take this risk in order to make Huang Xu's condition better.
On that day, Huo Lei deliberately made a mistake: "My elixir cures Ling Lang's illness, but your Huang Zhong doesn't know what to do, and now this medicine has risen to two thousand taels of gold, and your five hundred taels are far from enough." ”
Wang's heart was cold, thinking that Huang Xu coughed constantly every day, and recently coughed up blood, and his body bones were getting thinner and thinner, Wang's heart was distressed, if she exchanged her life, she would never hesitate.
"Master Huo, you don't remember anyone, it's my lord who neglected you, all this is our fault, I will kowtow to you to admit your mistakes, please do well, give the pill to the old woman on credit, and I will slowly make up for it in the future."
The more excited Wang became, and he was really ready to go down and kowtow to Holei.
This Huang Zhong is the person hand-picked by the master, where does Huo Lei dare to continue to pretend to be big, he hugged the Wang family, and sighed: "Pity your parents, for the sake of your infatuated son, I will give you three pills, you let Ling Lang swallow it every day before going to bed, and come to me when he gets better." ”
Wang's was a strong thank-you, and after getting the medicine, he quietly gave it to Huang Xu, during which he was discovered by Huang Zhong and was also said.
But I didn't expect that just after taking the third medicine, Huang Xu improved, how could the couple not be excited.
In the east of Changsha City, a recently renovated mansion is particularly dazzling, the owner of the house is Huo Lei, who has made a fortune in business in the past two years, and now Huo Lei is in Jingyang and Yangzhou, which is a celebrity, whether it is the government or the traders, they are very polite to him.
Not for anything else, just because he has money.
Don't be, this Horay, who has its own money-making attributes, starts a business, how to toss and develop, and makes a lot of money.
At the same time, Huo Lei also maintains a great image of kindness, and he will put some food every once in a while to help the people, and those local officials naturally want him to go, and at the same time, he can get a little tax from him.
"Who's coming?"
Outside the Zhu Gate, two big men guarding the door stopped Huang Zhong and shouted loudly.
Huang Zhong replied: "I'm tired of going to report it, and Huang Zhong asks to see me!" ”
"Huang Zhong?"
A big man wondered.
Another big man smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you are Huang Zhong or Hei Zhong, my lord has a distinguished guest visiting today, and no outsiders will see him." ”
"You ......"
Faced with the washing of the doorman, Huang Zhong could only hold back his anger and shouted: "You will bring Huang Zhong here in Changsha Zhonglang, and your master will naturally let the old man in." ”
"Haha, what kind of official should I be, it's just a martial artist with no power and no substance, don't be you, it's the Taishou of Changsha County, we can't let him in without the master's permission."
Don't worry, this is really the case, a few years ago, Huo Lei privately funded hundreds of thousands of gold worth of gold to Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and became Liu Biao's guest, and the entire Jingzhou officials really didn't dare to trouble Huo Lei for no reason.
At this moment, a Kansai man also walked over, as if he was also preparing to enter the mansion.
I saw that the two guards guarding the door immediately changed their faces, and looked at this soil respectfully: "Master Zhou, you are here, our master is waiting for you!" ”
"Good!"
This person replied casually, glanced sideways at Huang Zhong again, and muttered, "Isn't this Huang Zhong, the Zhonglang general!" ”
Without waiting for Huang Zhong to answer, this Kansai man was sent into the gate by two guards guarding the door, and Huang Zhong could only be overshadowed, neither to leave nor to stay.
After waiting for half an hour, the gate slowly opened again, and the Kansai man walked out under the personal send-off of an old servant.
This old servant, Huang Zhong has heard of others, is the housekeeper of this house, and he has countless money in his hands.
Seeing that the Kansai Han walked out of the gate, Huang Zhong, who had been waiting for half an hour, immediately stepped forward and arched his hand: "The strong man stays, Huang Zhong has something to ask for!" ”
The Kansai man turned around, a hint of pride flashed in the corner of his eyes, but he said politely: "It turned out to be General Huang, I don't know what happened?" ”
This Kansai Han is not Zhou Cang, who else can it be!
"Do you know the old man?"
Zhou Cang replied: "The spirit of a general, Zhou (this Zhou is not a battery thief!) I admire it, I am really fortunate to see the general today. ”
Huang Zhong said with a serious face: "It turned out to be Zhou Zhuangshi, I can't hide it, my son is seriously ill, this medicine stone is invalid, I never thought that this Horay actually has a miracle elixir, which can cure my son, but unfortunately the old man had no eyes at the time, and offended him, I want to ask the strong man to help build a bridge, so that the old man can see Holei." ”
"What a misfortune the general! Has Ling Lang been in good health lately? Is there a big deal? ”
Facing Zhou Cang's kind care for Huang Xu, Huang Zhong was moved for a while, and replied: "After my son took the pill for three days, he actually improved, so the old man came to ask to see him, but unfortunately, he couldn't even enter the door!" ”
"Nonsense!"
Zhou Cang broke off and said: "This Huo Lei is really a chicken intestine, a matter of human life, how can it be a child's play!" General Huang, don't worry, I'll go in for you in this matter. ”
Huang Zhong was grateful again, and arched his hand: "Thank you, the strong man!" ”
At that moment, Zhou Cang turned around and walked towards Huo Mansion again.
