Chapter 156: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

Everyone looked up and saw that there were many more people at the door, the first one, who was arrogant, was the housekeeper of the Zhan Mansion. The next few people, of course, are Zhan Di in the Ministry of Officials, and the old woman next to him is Zhan Di's mother, and the young woman who supports her is Du Wenhao's wife Pang Yuqin. They were followed by several retinues.

Although Zhan Diguan is not big, he has real power, and General Gao is in charge of the logistics of the Western Expeditionary Army, and he has traveled extensively, so he naturally knows Zhan Di, a powerful person, and he is a big official than Zhan Di, but the Song Dynasty is heavy on literature and light on military force, and the status of military generals is relatively low, so he still greeted him very politely: "Lord Zhan, why are you here?" ”

"General Gao!" Zhan Di also arched his hand, "I'm here to find Dr. Du to thank my mother for her great kindness." ”

Pang Yuqin gave Zhan's mother to the maid to help, and came to Du Wenhao in broken steps: "Husband, I invited the old lady and them." He turned to Zhan's mother and said, "Grandma, this is my father-in-law." ”

Mother Zhan hurriedly walked over a few steps, and gave a bow: "Old man, thank Mr. Xie for saving his life!" ”

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "The old lady is polite, it is the duty of a doctor to treat the sick and save people." ”

Zhan's mother heard Du Wenhao's voice, nodded happily, turned back to Zhan and said, "That's right, this is the strange doctor who saved my life!"

Zhan Di hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Zhan Di bows to Mr. Xie Du for saving his mother!" I thought that Mr. Du had passed away, but it turned out to be just a rumor, which is really gratifying! ”

"Huh." Du Wenhao turned his head and glanced at General Gao, "I have to live in seclusion in the capital, and now I don't want to live in seclusion, and I will inevitably trouble Lord Zhan if there are things in the future." ”

Zhan Di nodded again and again: "It's easy to say!" I will do whatever he commands. By the way, Mr. Du's father-in-law, Pang Jinghui, and Zhuang Zhi County, Dongda County, have made outstanding contributions in the defense of the epidemic. ”

Kaifeng Shaoyin and Kaifeng Mansion Pusher were both from the sixth grade, while the county lieutenant and the magistrate were only eight in the Northern Song Dynasty, and they were promoted several levels in a row.

Du Wenhao glanced at Pang Yuqin, when Pang Yuqin went to pick up Zhan Di and them, he obviously already knew the news, and his face was excited, and now his husband has decided not to live in seclusion, which means that he can see his parents and grandmother.

Du Wenhao arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your father-in-law's support!" ”

"It's all as it should be, Mr. Du is polite!"

General Gao had a bitter face, thinking that Du Wenhao was even involved with the Zhan question in the Ministry of Officials' Examination, and it seemed that this Lord Zhan was grateful to Du Wenhao, and now Du Wenhao had two shields to protect himself, he didn't know how this matter should end, and how to go back and explain.

Du Wenhao looked at General Gao and smiled, took out a prescription from his pocket, shook it, and said, "General, this is the prescription for the disinfectant potion for the prevention and treatment of the plague, and the filter material in the gas mask is also the prescription for the soaking potion." After thinking about it, I felt that it was too heavy for me to protect this prescription alone, so I decided to sell it to the imperial court, and I didn't want to ask for a lot of money, so I just bid 100,000 taels of silver. I wonder if the general is interested? ”

100,000 taels of silver is worth 100 million yuan! Many of the guests of the Ni shopkeeper's house outside the hall smacked their tongues and whispered, such a piece of paper sold for 100,000 taels of silver, and the recipe on it must be extremely precious!

General Gao was overjoyed, Du Wenhao insisted on refusing to sell the prescription before, but now he offered to sell it, this is what he hopes the most, Du Wenhao has been self-defeating, he will not accept the money and Zhan Di will definitely not agree with their military to use Du Wenhao as a dangerous bait to lure the Western Xia and Da Liao spies, and will definitely find a way to protect Du Wenhao, and take the opportunity to eradicate the Western Xia and Da Liao spies The plan has failed, just when he has a headache, he didn't expect Du Wenhao to take the initiative to sell the disinfectant potion formula to their military. With this result, although it is no longer possible to trap spies, at least it can be regarded as a gain.

As for the price, 100,000 taels is indeed not a decimal amount, but they are still willing to pay this money, General Gao is in charge of logistics and finance in the military department, and he can make the decision to buy it or not, and he stroked his palm at the moment and said: "Okay, it's decided, sign the contract and pay early tomorrow morning!" ”

"Good! The prescription will be given to you now. Du Wenhao handed over the formula.

General Gao was stunned: "Give it to me now?" I can't get that amount of money at once. We'll have to wait until tomorrow to open the vault. Can you rest assured of me, sir? ”

"Hehe, what else is there to worry about General Gao, besides, so many people have seen that I have given the prescription to the general, and the general can still rely on me? Hey, hey, hey. ”

General Gao smiled: "Okay! Mr. is really fast-talking, refreshing! He reached out and took the prescription, took a closer look, and put it in his arms.

Now everyone was happy, and General Gao took the people away. After Zhan Di and Zhan's mother thanked each other, they also said goodbye and left. While Dong Zhuhai was grateful, he was also happy to have cracked such a major case, and Du Wenhao said that he would give them the credit, so he was naturally even more happy, and after thanking him, he escorted the old woman away.

After Du Wenhao confessed to the stunned owner of the house, Ni Shopkeeper, and a group of relatives, he took the daughters, apprentices, and apprentices Yan Miaoshou back to Fuyun Hall. The guards Hu Yanzhong and Xin Jiuniang still followed Du Wenhao back to Fuyun Hall with the guards and arranged defenses.

Du Wenhao called the master and apprentice with Lin Qingdai, Pang Yuqin, Xue Fei'er and Yingzi to the living room to talk, and briefly told the story, and everyone knew the reason why they lived in seclusion in the capital.

Xue Fei'er said: "Brother, now that you have revealed your identity, aren't you afraid that the Western Xia people and the Great Liao people will come to arrest you?" ”

"It is precisely because of fear that I have to expose my identity and sell prescriptions!"

"Why is that?" Xue Fei'er's eyes widened.

Qian Bushu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Master's trick is called drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle." The so-called puppet is not guilty, and he is guilty, and the master has this prescription, just like the priceless He's bi, everyone wants it, and can only hide in Tibet to live, once this piece of jade is handed over, the claws of those who want jade will naturally be transferred to the new owner of the jade......"

Xue Fei'er stroked her palms and smiled: "I understand, my brother chose the place where the shopkeeper Ni's daughter-in-law set up a wine banquet and a crowd of people, and took advantage of the opportunity to arrest the murderer to kill himself, and sold the prescription to General Gao in front of everyone, and also called you and Master Zhan to testify, just to spread the news." Let everyone know that He's Bi, who is guilty of his crimes, has been sold to General Gao. In this way, the spies of Western Xia and Daliao will not only focus on my brother, and my brother's danger will be greatly reduced. What a trick to draw salary! ”

Pang Yuqin was still worried: "Having said that, after all, the husband also knows this method, and it is still possible for the Western Xia and Da Liao spies to do something to the husband." ”

Du Wenhao nodded and said, "That's right, but, I'm sure that this recipe won't take long for the Western Xia people and Da Liao to know." ”

"Why?"

"There should be very few people who know about my seclusion in the capital, and judging from the fact that the Tangut people are so quick to determine that I am faking my death and accurately know my location in the capital, there must be people from the Tangut or Da Liao in the court, or there must be people who have been bought by them. Such important news was leaked so quickly, so General Gao and they took this prescription, and they definitely couldn't keep it a secret for long. Actually, this is exactly what I expected to do here, and to be honest, this is also the result of my heart's hope. ”

All the women looked at Du Wenhao with some surprise, and they didn't understand what he meant by his last sentence for a while.

Qian Bushu stroked his beard and smiled: "Master is right, only when the Xixia people and the Great Liao people know this prescription, can Master completely free himself from danger." ”

The women suddenly said, yes, everyone knows it, and it is not a secret, of course, there is no need to fight, Du Wenhao is naturally safe. And during this period of time, the imperial court will not relax its protection of Du Wenhao, so he is still relatively safe. In fact, as long as the news of Du Wenhao selling the prescription to the imperial court spreads, Du Wenhao will be safe immediately, because what can be done with money, Western Xia or Da Liao will not choose to use risky force to fight.

Qian Bu said: "Despite this, we still can't take it lightly, Master, before it is confirmed that Xixia and Da Liao have obtained this prescription, you should follow me into the palace and live in the Tai Hospital, which is much safer than outside." ”

Du Wenhao shook his head and said, "No! As I said, I don't want to go into the palace, I'm still free outside. Don't worry, I believe that tomorrow morning, half of the Kaifeng Mansion will know that I sold a prescription for 100,000 taels to the imperial court, and the Xizuo of Western Xia and Daliao will know immediately, so I am safe now, and there are so many guards. The most important thing is that Sister Qingdai protects me. She alone can withstand thousands of troops! ”

Lin Qingdai chuckled: "You're not afraid that I'm tired." ”

Everyone laughed.

At this moment, the door of the closed living room creaked open, and a small hairy head poked in, and a colorful and powerful word "Wang" was on the top of the door. A pair of eyes are bulging and black, but it's a little tiger!

Qian Bulu and Yan Miaoshou were shocked, but fortunately, this little tiger was indeed very small, about the same as a half-sized puppy.

The little tiger cub looked left and right, arched its body, and trotted to Yingzi's feet.

"Xiao Ke, why did you run out?" Yingzi squatted down and affectionately held the little tiger cub in her arms.

This little tiger is the tiger cub "Xiao Ke" raised by Du Wenhao.

Yan Miaoshou said strangely: "Master, this is the little tiger you raised?" ”

"Well, the last time I went up the mountain to collect medicine, I found that a tigress was caught by a clip and died, only this little tiger was dying, so I took it back, and I was ready to send it back to the mountain when I was older."

Qian Bushu nodded and said: "Raising tigers is a problem, and when it is a little bigger, it is better to put it back on the mountain." ”

The little tiger cub seemed to understand their words, and arched his little furry head into Yingzi's arms with all his might, looking very scared.
