is such a gangster, who was actually saved by Chen Di, the second knife doctor. Everyone present thought that it was Chen Di who brought the old gang leader Lu back to life.

Everyone entered the shipbuilding, and the leader of the Lu Lao Gang ordered someone to serve tea.

Lu Lao asked Chen Di: "Dare to ask the name of the little divine doctor?" Who did you learn from? ”

Lu Yunfei, the deputy gang leader, interjected: "Little Divine Doctor, you saved my father's life, you are the great benefactor of our Cao Gang!" If you make a price, you will have as much silver as you want, and we will give you as much silver as you want. ”

Chen Di smiled: "Old Lu gang leader, in fact, I am not a doctor. It's just that I have read a few medical books by chance and know a little bit of medical science. ”

Lu Lao Gang Leader said curiously: "What? You're not a doctor? But there is a wonderful way to bring the dead back to life? ”

Chen Di said: "It's not that I have a wonderful way to bring the dead back to life, it's just that because the old gang leader is blessed with all the heavens, Lord Yama doesn't dare to accept it." ”

Old Lu Gang Leader laughed: "Interesting, interesting." You're such a funny boy. ”

Old Lu looked at Chen Di carefully again, and said, "Looking at your clothes, you must not be an ordinary person's doll, dare to ask who your mansion is?" ”

Chen Di deliberately sold a pass: "I am from the capital." The surname is Chen. ”

Lu Yunfei said: "So, little boy, you are a rich child in the capital, and you came to Jiangnan to visit famous places?" I advise you to go back quickly! The Japanese have been making a lot of trouble in Jiangsu and Zhejiang recently, and it is not stubborn to run into those bastard things. ”

Chen Di said: "I didn't come to Jiangnan to visit famous places. ”

Lu Lao said: "It's not a tourist attraction, is it a study?" Seeing that you're only thirteen or fourteen years old, you shouldn't even be a showman, right? Just stay at home and listen to the private school teacher give an enlightenment class. You are too young to go out to study, so there is no need for this. ”

Chen Di said with a smile: "I have already been admitted to Xiucai. ”

Lu Lao said: "Got the show? Your age? Oh my God, I can't see you're a teenage prodigy! ”

Chen Di chuckled and said, "Old Gang Leader Lu, I'm not just a showman. ”

Lu Lao Gang Leader was surprised: "More than just a showman? Are you lifting people? Your age? I can't believe it. ”

Chen Di said again: "Old Gang Leader Lu, to tell you the truth, I am not just a lifter. ”

"What?" Lu Lao Gang Leader thought secretly, looking at the young man's demeanor and words, it didn't look like he was talking.

Old Lu got up and arched his hand towards Chen Di: "Dare to ask who are you, the life-saving benefactor?" Why did you come to Jiangnan from Beijing? ”

Chen Di took a sip of tea, and slowly squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "For the official." ”

When the people present heard what Chen Di said, they were silent for a while, and then burst into laughter.

Deputy gang leader Lu Yunfei laughed a little breathlessly: "You? Official? Hahaha, little boy, do you know that to talk nonsense in front of the Cao Gang leader is to cut out your tongue. But don't be afraid, you are the benefactor of our Cao Gang, we 。。。。。 Hahaha... I won't cut your tongue. ”

Chen Di glanced at Lu Yunfei and said with a smile: "If I speak, you can cut out my tongue." ”

Lu Lao Gang Leader thought about it and said to Lu Yunfei: "Yunfei, don't laugh. We have a system in the Ming Dynasty, and the military position of the military household is inherited by the father and the son. I think this little boy is inheriting his father's military position. ”

Lu Lao's gang leader traveled south and north, and he really had extraordinary insight.

Chen Di shook his head: "I came to Jiangnan to be a civil official, not a military officer. ”

"To be a civil servant? You're really talking. Old Lu said with a smile.

"The Ming Dynasty has never heard of a teenager being a civil official." Lu Yunfei said.

When the old gang leader Lu heard Lu Yunfei say this, he suddenly remembered something: "It's not that there are no teenage children as officials. A few days ago, I went to the household department to deliver the salt tax silver escorted last season, and I heard from the old men of the household department that there was a man named Chen Di recently, who was appointed by the emperor at the age of thirteen as the first place in the palace examination, and became a prefect at the age of fourteen。。。。。。。 However, this is the only scorpion in the Ming Dynasty. You can't be better than that Chen Di, right? ”

Chen Di stood up from his seat and said to Lu Lao's gang leader: "Down there is the new Taizhou prefect, the rank of squire of the leading army department - Chen Di!" ”

There was silence again.

Lu Yunfei said: "Little boy, you are making a big joke. You're pretending to be an official of the imperial court. ”

Chen Di shook his head: "I was originally an official of the imperial court, how can I pretend to say it." ”

Lu Lao's gang leader said: "Dare to ask what the evidence is." ”

Chen Di took out the official certificate from his arms, stepped forward and handed it to the old gang leader Lu: "I have an official certificate." Second, Tang Shunzhi, the head of the military department, Yu Dayou, the commander of the Shanxi Datong Guard, and Qi Jiguang, the commander of the Shandong Dengzhou Guard, were all on the willow leaf boat behind, and the three of them could testify for me. ”

Old Lu Gang Leader carefully looked at the official credentials. The official certificate is stamped with the big seal of the ministry, and it will definitely not be fake.

Old Lu Gang Leader respectfully knelt on one knee and handed the official certificate to Chen Di with both hands: "Master Chen, the old man is clumsy!" I didn't know that you were the new prefect of Taizhou, Zhejiang. ”

When the brothers of the Cao Gang saw that the old gang leader was kneeling, they also knelt together.

Chen Di put his hands around the old gang leader Lu: "The old gang leader, please get up quickly." You have transported imperial grain, tax and silver for the court for a lifetime, and you are a person who has contributed to the court. ”

Lu Lao Gang Leader got up and said: "It's not because I worship this because you are the prefect of the fourth grade, if you want to talk about officials, you have seen a lot of old decay." It's just that Lord Chen saved Lao Yu's name, and Lao Yu is worshipping his savior. ”

Lu Yunfei said apologetically, "Lord Chen, forgive me for offending just now. ”

Chen Di smiled: "It's okay, it's okay. I was too young to get used to people thinking that I was pretending to be an official of the imperial court. ”

Lu Lao said: "In the future, on the ground in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, if you need our Cao Gang to help, Lord Chen only needs to say hello." As long as you send a message, I will help 100,000 brothers only follow you! ”

Chen Di nodded: "Don't say it, I really have something to ask the old gang leader to land." ”

Lu Lao said, "Lord Chen, please speak." ”

Chen Di saw that the old gang leader was a bold person, so he simply said without concealment: "I came to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to be the prefect this time, and my main task is to fight against the Japanese." Nowadays, the most serious place is Taizhou Prefecture. ”
