Chapter 375: A strong opponent burns fighting spirit
That's right, although they have been with Xu Jingshan all the way, are they really familiar with him?
Wan Zhang was stunned, and made up a picture of the officers and soldiers in the city chasing down the spy Xu Jingshan and the fact that they were all arrested and interrogated by the government.
Wan Zhang grabbed Wan Lin's wrist worriedly, and asked nervously: "Brother Lin, Fu Langzhong, if Brother Xu is really a spy of Hule, will we be implicated?" ”
Thinking that if it was the Hule spy that King Zhenbei discovered first, Wan Lin could be sure that no one would suspect that they had anything to do with the spy.
Wan Lin said affirmatively: "Don't worry, although we have walked with him all the way, we have also been deceived by him, and we have been kept in the dark and will not be implicated." ”
Fu Xiaojiu reminded on the side: "But we must be prepared to be questioned, anyway, we are above board, and we are not afraid of being questioned." ”
Wan Lin nodded, "Yes, we have to tell your mother and Brother Jiacheng about this, at least we have to be mentally prepared." ”
The three of them went out of the house, called Nianzhen, and went to the study together to find Shao Jiacheng.
After Wan Lin finished talking about Xu Jingshan, Nianzhen and Shao Jiacheng were also taken aback.
Shao Jiacheng and Xu Jingshan are very compatible drinking friends, and the two have a very happy conversation, and he has a better relationship with Xu Jingshan than Wan Lin and others.
So it was even more difficult for him to accept that Xu Jingshan was a spy on Hule.
"How could Brother Xu be Hule's spy?"
Wan Lin had gone from shock to peace, and said calmly: "People can't look good, although Brother Xu showed us a bold and honest side, have you forgotten his decision when he killed Liu Bi?" and that Liu Bi, she has always shown her weak and innocent side, but don't forget what kind of person the real Liu Bi is. ”
Wan Lin's words made everyone fall silent, and they didn't think it was incredible that Xu Jingshan was a spy.
In fact, everyone didn't need to speak in unison, because Xu Jingshan didn't mention anything about the court when he was with them, let alone about Hule.
Wan Lin and the others were also chatting with them, even if someone asked them, they just had to answer truthfully.
However, after everyone got together and discussed, they all had a bottom in their hearts, and after this incident, they were all more alert.
The capital has a large population, and it is always good to have more hearts.
Shao Jiacheng instructed his subordinates again, telling them not to talk casually, not to be afraid, and to tell the truth if there were officers and soldiers interrogating.
After Wan Lin and the others dealt with Xu Jingshan's matter, they should do what they should do.
But it's not quite peaceful outside.
The officers and soldiers were carefully searching Xu Jingshan's whereabouts, and they didn't know whether they were deliberately building momentum or whether they really didn't know whether Xu Jingshan had left the capital.
In order to catch Xu Jingshan, the spy of the hoof, the city gate has been closed, and in the afternoon, the officers and soldiers have searched all the wine shops and inns in the city, and will soon go to search the people's houses.
When the king of Zhenbei entered the palace to talk with the emperor in secret, he had already discussed with the emperor, and he did not tell the story that someone had infiltrated the palace of Zhenbei, but only publicized the fact that Xu Jingshan was a spy of Hule.
They didn't think that Xu Jingshan, a spy, was so important that they had to catch it, but they wanted to deliberately make a big deal about it, so as to give a wake-up call to those Hule spies lurking in the capital:
Your plan failed, no matter how you framed the king of Zhenbei, the emperor would not believe it.
Wan Lin and the others thought that the officers and soldiers would search their courtyard sooner or later, but after a night, no one came to knock on the door.
Wan Lin only reacted when he chatted with Fu Xiaojiu in the morning, their house was the house that the princess of Zhenbei was looking for, who dared to search here.
Anyway, no matter how toss outside, they can just be quiet.
However, since Fu Xiaojiu saw Bai Yusheng, he has been a little "unrelenting".
When Fu Xiaojiu came back, he first drew a floor plan of the Hanging Ji Hall, carefully studied what kind of arrangements were in the Hanging Ji Hall, and roughly counted the passenger flow.
After Fu Xiaojiu finished this, he went to Yahang to inquire about the rent of the shop in the capital, and after hearing the offer, Fu Xiaojiu couldn't help but be speechless.
In a place as big as Hangjitang, the annual rent is at least 300 taels of silver, and the shop at this price is much worse than the location of Hangjitang.
The rent alone costs three hundred taels of silver, and if you renovate the storefront, buy things, hire men, and so on, if you want to open a medical hall as big as Xuanjitang, you have to pay at least five hundred taels of silver as a foundation.
Fu Xiaojiu immediately shrunk her neck after finishing the account, she didn't have such a lot of financial resources.
But this is the financial resources needed to achieve a medical center of the same scale as Xuanjitang, Fu Xiaojiu seriously considered it, although she regarded Bai Yusheng as a strong competitor, she did not necessarily have to open a medical center according to the scale of Xuanjitang.
If you have ambitions, you must also move forward step by step, and you can't do the things of a fat man in one bite.
Fu Xiaojiu inquired again, but was disappointed to find that the rent of the shops with slightly better locations and slightly larger areas was very high.
Although she was confident that she would do a good job in the hospital, she could not leave a way out and risk letting her family drink the northwest wind.
Fu Xiaojiu drooped his head and came out of Yaxing, looking at the bustling crowd on the street, and suddenly his fighting spirit was ignited again.
She went straight to Xuanjitang, stood at the door and looked at the patients in line, and secretly said to herself that when she opened a medical center in the capital, she would definitely let there be an endless stream of patients who came to her for treatment!
Once a person has a fighting spirit, he is not afraid of difficulties, Fu Xiaojiu went to several medical centers and pharmacies in a row to investigate, and then went to the medicinal material market in the capital, and also asked the carpenter's wages.
It wasn't until she walked with a sore back and the sun was about to set that she got home.
When Fu Xiaojiu entered the courtyard, Wan Lin happened to come out of the study, he saw that Fu Xiaojiu looked tired, and hurriedly asked her how she went out to investigate this day.
Fu Xiaojiu told Wan Lin about the difficulties of opening a medical center in the capital, but after talking about the difficulties, Fu Xiaojiu said the solution to these difficulties, and he was still motivated, so Wan Lin was relieved.
At dinner, Nianzhen also asked Fu Xiaojiu about the situation of the market, Fu Xiaojiu said briefly, without waiting for Nianzhen to say anything, Shao Jiacheng took the initiative to say that if Fu Xiaojiu wanted to open a medical center in the capital, he could partner with Fu Xiaojiu.
"Not to mention that the rent for a year is five hundred taels of silver, even one thousand taels of silver I can afford! Fu Langzhong, I believe that with your medical skills, you will definitely be able to open a medical center in the capital. What's more, you are the life-saving benefactor of the prince of Zhenbei, even if you run for such a name, the people who come to you for medical treatment have to break their heads, right? ”
What Shao Jiacheng said, Fu Xiaojiu didn't expect it.
If she came to open a medical hall in the name of the life-saving benefactor of the prince of Zhenbei, her business might not be worse than Bai Yusheng.
But she was a little awkward, and she didn't really want to treat people under such a name.
But she thought about it again, in order to help Shao Jiacheng, she had already openly shouted in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion that she was the benefactor of the prince of Zhenbei Wang, and once her medical hall opened, she couldn't hide her identity if she wanted to.
Fu Xiaojiu found that since he came to the capital, his fighting spirit has not diminished, but he is a little timid and has a lot of concerns.
As long as she has excellent medical skills, what does it matter if she has a good name?
Fu Xiaojiu thought about it, and immediately felt that everything was not difficult.
As for the partnership that Shao Jiacheng said, Fu Xiaojiu can also consider it.
"Shao Gongzi, I'm glad that you are willing to partner with me, but let's talk about it first, you must at least be able to be named on the gold list, and stay in the capital to be a Beijing official before you can partner with me. Of course, I have to do the same, otherwise our cooperation will be a little unrealistic. ”
Fu Xiaojiu said this in the hope that Shao Jiacheng could prepare for the exam seriously, even if he couldn't partner with him, as long as Wan Lin could stay in the capital, her medical clinic would be open no matter what.
Shao Jiacheng has also thought a lot about it these days, if he fails the exam, he will go home first and ask his father to use his connections to get him an official.
He hadn't thought about being an official before, but since he got acquainted with Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu, and learned about the relationship between the two of them and the king of Zhenbei, he wanted to borrow power.
He saw that Wan Lin was a talent, if Wan Lin could embark on a career in office, most of them would be on the rise, as long as he had a good relationship with Wan Lin, Wan Lin would give him a helping hand.
Shao Jiacheng made his wishful thinking crackle, so as soon as Fu Xiaojiu finished speaking, he promised: "Okay, with Fu Langzhong's words, I will definitely study hard and strive to catch the tail of the two lists!" ”
Fu Xiaojiu didn't know what Shao Jiacheng was planning in his heart, and thought that it would be good if he could be motivated.
The turmoil of the city looking for Xu Jingshan has passed in a few days, and although the imperial court has not caught Xu Jingshan, it has also gained a lot.
Through this incident, a lot of Hule's spies were really found.
King Zhenbei is busy with business these days, and he is still preparing to leave Beijing, and the princess assists him, so he has no time to invite Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu to the palace.
Shizi had long wanted to come to Wan Lin to talk to Fu Xiaojiu, and he happened to take advantage of no one to pay attention to him this day, and came out with a guard to find Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu.
Shizi's guards knocked on the courtyard door, and the descendants of Shao Jiacheng's family came to open the door, and saw that Shizi was richly dressed and dignified, and saw that he was not an ordinary child, so he respectfully asked him who he was looking for.
The prince said that he was looking for Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu, and the subordinates hurriedly invited him in.
Fu Xiaojiu and Nianzhen were sitting in the courtyard drinking bird's nest lotus seed soup and chatting, while Wan Lin and others were warming up their books in the study.
As soon as Fu Xiaojiu looked up, she saw Shizi striding into the second-floor courtyard, and was immediately startled, and was about to get up to salute him, but Shizi stopped her.
"Sister Xiaojiu, I came abruptly, did I disturb you?"
Shizi said politely, his demeanor was humble, and there was no one who was on the shelf.
Nianzhen is a smart person, and immediately guessed that the young man in front of her who was majestic and noble-minded should be Huo Jing, the prince of Zhenbei who Fu Xiaojiu mentioned.
