The east side of Quanzhou City is more lively, and most of the people living here are ordinary people, and most of the small shops and stalls are located here. Not far from the city gates, to the north of the bustling streets, is another world.

Most of the houses here are in disrepair, with light rain outside and heavy rain inside. The trails are full of miscellaneous debris that exudes a mixed smell on this hot day. There are a lot of people here, but it's quiet, because everyone who stays here has to try to maintain their strength so that they can breathe for a while.

There is a slightly neat courtyard in one of them, and only some traces of the outer wall have left, which can be seen that it was originally a wall, but in the middle of the wall there is still a door frame, which is broken, and the thin wooden door with a slight slope is still strong inside the door frame. Sometimes a breeze blows, and the two wooden doors shake and make a sound, but they refuse to fall off.

There are three cottages in the middle of the courtyard, which can be said to be a luxury villa in this area, at least the one that should be still preserved. In the room, a man of about fifty years old was holding a small gourd and taking a sip from time to time, and there was a mellow smell of wine in the room, and it seemed that the gourd was not an ordinary product. The man sat on a low wooden stool, looking up at the hole in the roof, sometimes smiling, sometimes frowning, as if remembering something. The ordinary-looking man was dressed in patched peasant clothes, and his misty eyes seemed to be that of an ordinary drunkard.

Suddenly, there was some hurried footsteps from a distance, and the man immediately regained consciousness, and his sharp eyes made people a little frightened. However, his sharp eyes turned ordinary again, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and soon they were in front of the hut. As the people were going into the house, the man said, "I've said a few times, when you come in, you have to walk through the door, and don't just walk in from there just because the wall is gone." Why don't you always listen? After speaking, he shook his head slightly, tilted his neck and took another sip.

The person who came into the house, glanced at the man, and sneered slightly, "Are you still in the mood to drink?" Don't want to know if we succeeded? ”

"Whether you succeed or not, I am already prepared, what is there to hurry. And can you not say? You, who are always small and big, are an acute child, and you can't listen to what you say. The man chattered like an old lady. However, although the young man who had just come in looked angry, he still listened patiently.

When he took another sip of wine, the young man said, "Xingjia, we have failed. ”

Xingjia let out an "oh" in his mouth, and then he was speechless. The young man was anxious, "You are talking, didn't you say earlier that you have a plan, what is that strategy?" ”

Xingjia smiled at the young man, "If you succeed, I won't talk about the rest of it." If you don't succeed, then we'll just have to get the target to be recognized. ”

"Who's going to admit it?"

"Unlucky Lord Quanzhou."

"Why him?"

"People always amuse bad luck. The prince, who was supposed to stay in the capital, appeared in Quanzhou, thousands of miles away, and was recognized after being assassinated, so that those big people had something to do. And our Quanzhou prefect will have opponents in the officialdom in the future, and the royal family will not be welcome, alas, it is difficult. The star armor seemed to be a pity, but the glimmer of joy in his eyes was still captured by the young man.

"What does that Qin Siyuan have to do with us if he is unlucky?"

"How can it be okay? There is no hope for a career in office, and others will only devote themselves to others, but this Lord Qin is young and ambitious, and he is a rebellious character. Such a person is not willing to live this life in mediocrity. Then our opportunity has come, and if such a talented reader can sincerely contribute, it will also be a great help. "Xingjia seems to be in a good mood.

"Do you have to be sour?" The young man seemed reluctant.

"Alas, although the Central Plains has belonged to these emperors throughout the ages, it is these scholars who really manage the world. In the end, the emperor has only one head and one mouth, and he can still manage so many things in the world? Success is also them, defeat is also them, the end of the game" Xingjia let out a sigh, and the original good mood seemed to be a lot lower.

"Then how do you know that Qin Siyuan will definitely go to recognize people?" The young man couldn't help asking.

"Chijiu, there are many things you don't know about our Star Picking Tower, and even some I don't know, we just need to do things with peace of mind, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, you will always understand in the future." Xingjia took another sip, this time a little hurriedly, some of the liquid dripping down the corners of his mouth onto his shabby clothes.

Xingjia raised the gourd a little, put his mouth down, shook the gourd up and down a few times, and saw that he couldn't shake a drop of wine, so he said with interest, "Okay, let's go out of the city." After speaking, Shi Shiran paced out. Chi Jiu stopped talking in the back, and finally walked a few steps quickly to keep up with the star armor.

And at an intersection in the west of the city, the scene is a little funny. Originally, a group of strongmen with knives and guns, with dead and wounded people, rushed into the team of the prefect, and the official arrested the fast sedan chair man and fled with lightning speed, leaving the prefect alone there, only a thin master stood beside him. Seeing that something big is about to happen, but this group of strongmen has no malicious intentions, and it is just a coincidence that they are here, and they are still very polite to the prefect. Those officials and other officials came from the street in the distance, and some embarrassed figures already had a somewhat arrogant expression. In the corners on both sides of the road, many heads also popped out of the windows of people's houses and shops, looking at this place curiously, looking forward to the continued development of the plot.

After Li Huamei finished talking about the situation, Qin Siyuan, who was originally a little stunned, also came back to his senses, and just as he was about to say a few words to Li Huamei, the master next to him spoke.

I saw that some thin masters suddenly shook their bodies slightly, like seizures, and then fell to their knees with a "poof", and shouted loudly, "Student Wang Yuan, I have seen His Royal Highness King Fu." As he spoke, he kowtowed in the direction of Zhu Houwei. Claiming to be a student, it seems that he is also famous, but to be a master, it is estimated that he is a showman.

But the problem is not here, as soon as Wang Yuan's words came out, the street became quieter, and even the officials and others who had just made a big stride also subconsciously stepped on small steps, trying to reduce the movement, and moved here. And Qin Siyuan looked at his master with some incredulity, but Wang Yuan knelt on the ground, his head bowed, and he couldn't see his expression.

Ordinary people don't dare to accept this kind of courtesy, and Li Huamei and others, who were originally at the front of the team, unconsciously let go and let Zhu Houwei out. At this time, Zhu Houwei's image is not very good, there are blood stains on his clothes, although he has wiped his face, he has not wiped it clean, and there are still some traces left, with a somewhat gloomy expression, he doesn't look like a positive character.

As soon as Li Huamei and them let them do this, Qin Siyuan knew that the general trend had gone, so he also knelt on the ground, "Weichen knocked on His Royal Highness King Fu." As soon as the prefect spoke, the people behind him also hurriedly knelt down and shouted. Zhu Houwei stared at Wang Yuan, and then asked without emotion, "Wang Yuan, do you know this king?" Wang Yuan didn't look up, but said respectfully, "The student is by the side of the owner, and he has seen the prince from afar. ”

Zhu Houwei glanced at Qin Siyuan, from his clenched teeth, bulging green tendons, and lowered eyes, he knew that this person should not want to recognize himself, it seems that this Wang Yuan has a lot of heart. Zhu Houwei sneered, "You can recognize this king after seeing it from afar a few times, you really can't forget it." Wang Yuan hurriedly replied, "The student didn't dare, but the prince had an outstanding demeanor and extraordinary temperament, and the student didn't forget it." ”

At this point, there is nothing more to say, Zhu Houwei said, "Get up." This king has something to do, so you don't have to follow him. "Yes"

Zhu Houwei walked in front, and Li Huamei and the others followed closely behind him, and as for the servants, they hurriedly got out of the way, bent down and waited for them to walk by. After a while, Zhu Houwei and the others were no longer visible.

Qin Siyuan looked at Wang Yuan, who was calmly getting up, and suppressed his anger, "Why? Wang Yuan didn't look at him, but replied calmly, "The world is so big, and the student is just a chess piece." ”

"That two years ago, you starved in front of my house, which was also designed?"

Wang Yuan leaned over slightly and patted the dust on his clothes, and replied casually, "Since the owner already knows, why bother asking." ”

Qin Siyuan stared at Wang Yuan fiercely, but Wang Yuan never raised his head to look at him. Qin Siyuan flicked his sleeves vigorously, didn't even take the sedan chair, and walked towards the official office. The sedan chair man hurriedly followed. When he was far away, Wang Yuan raised his head, his eyes were complicated, and he muttered, "Dongjia, from now on, you can't be credulous anymore." He smiled miserably and walked to another street.

Zhu Houwei walked very fast, and it was not far away from the Li Mansion. Suddenly, a middle-aged man dressed in ethnic minority clothes came out of a corner, carrying a basket with some herbs in it, and a gourd hanging on his waist, and walked towards Zhu Houwei and them without hurry.

When he arrived, he suddenly stopped, frowning and staring at Huang Gonggong next to Zhu Houwei. As soon as he stopped, Zhu Houwei and the others also stopped.

Zhu Houwei opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter with you?" The man turned his head slightly and looked at Zhu Houwei, "The person next to you will be too late if he is not treated, it seems that he should have been poisoned by snakes." "A mouthful of Da Ming official with an accent sounds a little awkward.

Zhu Houwei looked at Huang Gonggong, only to find that Huang Gonggong's face was pale, panting, and he looked very scary. But Zhu Houwei knew that Huang Gonggong's injury was only a little bruised, and there was not much blood, so it shouldn't be like this.

Zhu Houwei turned his head to the man and said, "Then please treat you." "If it's really snake venom, then I don't know if there is anyone in the Li Mansion who can cure it, and I'm afraid that Huang Gonggong's appearance won't be able to hold out there, and he gritted his teeth and came over the road just now.

The man nodded, walked a few steps briskly to Huang Gonggong's side, lifted his clothes and saw Huang Gonggong's wound, and found that not only did the blood not stop, but now it was black. The man's voice was a little louder, "Put him flat first." The conditions were limited, and everyone hurriedly put Huang Gonggong, who was about to lose his position, to the ground. The man took out a row of small bamboo tubes from the basket and pulled out a cotton cloth that was plugged in.

Gonggong Huang tried his best at this time and said, "Lord Wang, it's too dangerous outside, you better go to the Li Mansion first." Zhu Houwei ignored him and said to Li Huamei, "Master Li, you take people back first, and leave some people here with me."

Li Huamei knew that some injuries behind her would not last long, so she nodded and left a cart to take people away.

The man sprinkled some black powder on Huang Gonggong's wound, and Huang Gonggong suddenly moved, obviously in great pain, but being pressed by Hong Yu and another person did not bother the treatment.

Then, the man took out another small bamboo tube and poured out a few yellow pills and fed them to Huang Gonggong. Then he stood up and nodded at Zhu Houwei, "Fortunately, there is not much poison in the middle, so it should be fine." You will pay 30 wen for the consultation. “

Zhu Houwei said to him, "Don't worry, you also saw it, there were a few wounded just now, please treat them together." The man thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay." “

Huang Gonggong was put on the board car and let people pull it, and Zhu Houwei and the others also slowed down, for fear of affecting Huang Gonggong. When he arrived at Li's mansion and narrated all the way, Zhu Houwei knew the identity of the man, a Miao person, a doctor, and his best skill was to treat snake bites, and his name was Nanwa.
