Chapter 16: Xiu'er, Xiu'er, What's wrong with you?

After running for more than an hour, he entered Qingcheng County.

The city is not very big, after all, it is located in a mountainous area. But compared to Qingshan Town, it is too prosperous.

Of course, in Li Xiang's eyes, it is almost equivalent to a slightly larger ancient town in later generations......

There are only two main streets, which are intersecting and longitudinal, and there are many narrow alleys in between.

The main facilities of the county are all located in the two main streets, such as the county yamen, vegetable markets, various shops and so on.

At the same time, most of the wealthy families in the city also live on two main streets.

Zhang Yuanwai is a well-known wealthy merchant in Qingcheng County, operating grain and oil, cloth, dyeing workshops and other businesses.

"Li Langzhong, it's here!"

Soon after entering the city, Steward Wu jumped off his horse and pointed to a large mansion on the side of the street.

"Steward Wu......"

There were two subordinates standing outside the door, and when they saw Steward Wu, they immediately greeted them.

"Kim, take the horse away."

Steward Wu gave an order, and then took Li Xiang into the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the hospital, Li Xiang had a score in his heart...... The standard local tyrant has a solid family background, and this time he has to knock on it.

"Hahaha, this must be Li Langzhong, who is known as the miracle doctor, right?"

As soon as I entered the inner courtyard, a man with a fat head and big ears and about fifty years old came forward with a haha.

"It's ...... Xiaosheng"

"Long admiration, long admiration, long admiration ......"

After some politeness, Zhang Yuanwai personally led Li Xiang to a side room in the courtyard.

After entering the door, he pointed to the woman lying on the bed with a sad face and sighed: "Li Langzhong, her name is Xiu'er, and she is my newly married concubine." Recently, I don't know what's going on, I've taken a lot of various medicines, but my illness has not improved......"

"Well, let Xiao Sheng take a look at the situation first."

Li Xiang walked to the side of the bed and found Xiu'er in a deep sleep.

I sniffed, and my breathing was steady, but my breath was weak.

So, he sat down recliningly, grabbed Xiu'er's hand and began to take the pulse......

"Huh?"

After a while, he couldn't help frowning and exhaled softly.

"What's wrong, Li Langzhong?" Zhang Yuanwai stood aside and asked hurriedly.

"Wait......"

Li Xiang waved his hand, then looked at Xiu'er's eyelids, checked the pulse again, and his face became extremely solemn.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanwai couldn't help but ask again: "Li Langzhong, is this ...... What the hell is going on? ”

"Master Zhang, find a clean place to talk."

"Oh, okay!"

Soon, the two came to a small hall, and Zhang Yuanwai instructed Yahuan to make two bowls of tea, and then asked about the situation with an anxious face.

"Madame Ling's condition is a bit strange...... Master Zhang, tell you the truth, what did she do before? Who is the family and who is in the family? ”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanwai frowned: "This ...... Does this have anything to do with Xiu'er's condition? ”

"It has a lot to do with it!"

Is healing also related to life experience?

Zhang Yuanwai is a long insight...... However, this is not a secret thing, so I told it truthfully.

It turned out that Xiu'er was a girl in the Jade Building before, and because of her beauty and charm, she soon became the top brand of the Jade Building.

Zhang Yuanwai went to admire it...... This time, I was fascinated and didn't want to.

After that, he spent 3,000 taels of silver to redeem Xiu'er and accepted him as the sole favor of the concubine.

I didn't know that I didn't live a few happy days, but Xiu'er got sick......

"Li Langzhong, that's the way it is, she once said that she was a person from the nearby mountains who was sold to the Jade Building, and I don't know the specific situation......"

Hearing this, Li Xiang frowned and lowered his head in contemplation.

He couldn't figure it out a little, and he didn't know how to open his mouth to Zhang Yuanwai.

Because of this show...... It's not human at all!

When he first took the pulse, he realized that something was not quite right. After that, he quietly released a trace of true qi to investigate, only to find out that the other party turned out to be a demon!

What kind of demon it is, with his current knowledge, is not clear.

The strange thing is that it stands to reason that the demon who transforms into a demon has also practiced for hundreds of years, but Li Xiang found that her demon power is so weak that if she doesn't use her true qi to investigate, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sense it.

Listening to Zhang Yuanwai again, Xiu'er is actually a girl from Jade Building......

This makes it even more incomprehensible...... A shape-shifting goblin has actually fallen to Si? What happened to her?

After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiang finally had an idea.

So, he said with a solemn face: "Master Zhang, Mrs. Ling's illness ...... Quite weird, unusual. It is not an ordinary disease, and the treatment method is naturally different.

Listen, don't make any public announcements about this, including those around you.

After that, you have to do one thing secretly and find a way to inquire about Xiu'er's origins...... In other words, who sold her to the Jade Building......"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanwai was a little flustered: "Li Langzhong, don't scare me, what's wrong with Xiu'er?" It won't be ...... Moisten...... What's dirty? ”

Li Xiang smiled faintly: "Master Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely deal with this matter, but the root cause must be solved...... In short, if you do what you do, you will naturally understand the reason when the time comes. ”

Zhang Yuanwai hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay!" However, the consultation fee ......"

"Master Zhang, Xiaosheng is not scaring you, even if you find the imperial doctor of the palace for Mrs. Ling's illness, it is useless...... So, what about the consultation fee...... One thousand taels of silver. ”

"A thousand taels?" Zhang Yuanwai was startled.

After all, 1,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, almost enough for ordinary people to live for a lifetime.

"If Zhang Yuanwai suspects that the diagnosis is high, please find another Gao Ming......"

"It's not ......" Zhang Yuanwai looked entangled, thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth: "Okay, as long as Xiu'er can be cured, one thousand taels will be one thousand taels." ”

After all, Xiu'er was bought by him for three thousand taels of silver, and if he really wants to hang up, wouldn't the bamboo basket be empty?

Li Xiang smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, you have to find a way to inquire about Xiu'er's origin no matter what......"

"Okay, I'll go and ask the owner of the Jade Building."

……

It didn't take long for Zhang Yuanwai to hurry back home.

"Li Langzhong, I inquired, but ...... The owner of the Jade House couldn't tell the other party's origin.

The other party claimed to be the ninth master, and sold Xiu'er to the Jade Building at a price of five hundred taels of silver, and said that he would send it again if there was a suitable one in the future......"

"So?" Li Xiang pondered for a moment and sighed: "There's no way, I can only ask Xiu'er." ”

So, the two of them went into the house again.

However, after entering the house, Li Xiang turned his head and said, "Master Zhang, you'd better avoid it, there are some things you shouldn't know now." ”

Zhang Yuanwai looked stunned.

"Don't worry, Xiaosheng said that if he can handle it, then it will definitely be solved satisfactorily."

Zhang Yuanwai hesitated for a while, and finally sighed: "Okay, then...... Then I'll go out first. ”

As soon as he left, Li Xiang walked to the bed, grabbed Xiu'er's hand and injected a wisp of true qi......

"Hmmm......"

Xiu'er finally woke up.

As soon as he woke up, he seemed to have a sense, and said with a panicked face: "You...... Who are you? ”

"Don't panic, now, answer my questions honestly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After speaking, an invisible momentum was released.

Xiu'er's face turned pale with fright, and she begged urgently: "Immortal Master spares ...... life"
