Seeing the young man in front of him skillfully treating the old lady, skillful, calm and calm, while the middle-aged man stood aside and was silent, watching coldly the whole time, Zhang Ping suddenly had an illusion: This young man is the doctor, right?

Suddenly, Mu Xiaosu raised her head, her fair and slightly red face seemed to be hotter, with a girlish charm, and her voice was as graceful as a yellow warbler: "Steward Wang, is the old lady so uncomfortable every day, can't eat, can't sleep, and often makes ho-ho sounds?" ”

Steward Wang's heart trembled when he heard this, and his unconscious voice slowed down a lot: "That's right, how did Mr. Xiao know?" ”

Mu Xiaosu didn't answer, but lifted the curtain to see something, the girl on the side was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Stop, why are you so bold, the old lady is sick and bedridden, how can you be offended?" No matter how much you are a doctor, you must also pay attention to the defense of men and women, you are too rude! ”

Only then did he react, Mu Xiaosu looked stunned, his face was so red that he was almost dripping blood, he stood in front of the bed and was stunned, his hands were frozen in mid-air, and he didn't shrink or shrink. When Mr. Long saw it, his face sank: "Xiao Su, let you show the old lady, you are so ignorant of the rules?" It's just ...... Don't quit yet! ”

"Yes, Uncle Shi." Mu Xiaosu snorted, his voice was weak.

Without waiting for Zhang to put on a flat face, Mr. Long said with a straight face: "Steward Zhang, just now I asked this apprentice to show your old lady, and the contemptible person also has a rough eyebrow." Your old lady is seriously ill, but it is not incurable, but she needs to prepare medicine before she can proceed to the next step. ”

From beginning to end, Zhang Ping was at a loss, and he couldn't figure out what was going on at all.

At first, he thought that Mr. Long was a doctor, so he believed them and brought Ci'an Hall to see the old lady. Who knew that after coming in, he was shy and blushing all the time, like a young girl who was doing his hand to diagnose the old lady, and he was very skillful in his way of looking at and hearing and asking.

But now, after listening to Mr. Long's words again, he realized that this young man was his apprentice, and what he did just now was just for him to practice, and he was suddenly surprised again. didn't even take action in person, and used his old lady to practice his apprentices? Zhang Ping was suddenly furious!

"Stop!" He yelled and chased after him.

Mr. Long's face was serious, and he stopped and turned his head to look at him: "Is there anything else going on with Steward Zhang?" The contemptible people hurried back to dispense medicine to the old lady, and there was no time to delay. If you treat the old lady by mistake, will Steward Zhang be responsible at that time? ”

Just as he was about to let someone arrest them and teach them a good lesson, who knew that when he heard the other party say this, Zhang Ping was suddenly surprised: "What does Mr. Long mean, our old lady's illness can be saved?" ”

"Why didn't you save it? If it can't be saved, can the contemptible people need to go back and find medicine? ”

Mr. Long's face sank, and he looked at the young man on the side, "Xiao Su, you also showed it to the old lady just now, and told Steward Zhang about it." ”

Saluting respectfully, Mu Xiaosu said softly: "Steward Zhang, although the old lady is seriously ill and has not eaten for three days, she can still be saved." We have to go back now to find medicine to treat the old lady, and we can't delay, otherwise, at most, the old lady will delay it for two more days, but I am afraid that it will not work. ”

The old lady only has two days to live?

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Ping was almost startled, and the intention of teaching them a lesson was gone.

"Is the old lady really saved?" He hurriedly asked.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhang Ping couldn't care about anything anymore. In the past three days, this was the only doctor he had heard, who promised to cure the old lady, and he hurriedly sent the group out respectfully, and asked the time of the next visit to the old lady, before hurriedly reporting to the county guard.

In the study, Guan Hou was surprised when he heard the report: "You can actually guarantee that you can cure the old lady?" ”

"Yes, Lord County Guard, that's what Mr. Nalong said, and his apprentice is also very tight, and the head of what he said is the Tao, and the villain should be reliable, so he hurried to report to the adult." Zhang Ping's face was eager.

"How can it be...... So, my lord, it seems that the old lady is really saved. He Hai smiled and congratulated him.

After Zhang Ping stepped back, Guan Hou immediately changed his color, looked thoughtful, and frowned: "Some people actually said that it can be cured, is it true or false?" What do you think? ”

There were only two people left in the room, and He Hai was no longer the same as before, but his brows were deep and his face was gloomy.

Although Mrs. Guan is almost sixty years old, she has always been able to eat and sleep, and her body is healthy, if she wants to suddenly become seriously ill, she must be ruthless, otherwise the plan will not be implemented at all. This is still He Hai personally asked someone to do it, and the person also dealt with it afterwards, I thought that no one would find out the clues, and there would be no doctor who could cure it at all, at most a few days later, the old lady would starve to death because she couldn't eat.

But now it's only been three days, and someone is ashamed to say that it can be cured, isn't this a blatant slap in the face?

Once the old lady is discovered, it will be impossible to spread the word!

He Hai's mind turned, slowly calmed down, stepped forward and smiled: "Don't worry, adults, whether that person is cured well or not, his subordinates will be stared at." If you really dare to spoil the good deeds of adults, your subordinates will solve them immediately, and there will be absolutely no problems. ”

"Well, be careful, you can't have an accident at this time."

Guan Hou nodded, with a serious face: "There is still half a year to go before the national sacrifice, and when the time comes, Your Majesty will issue an order to let all officials above the third grade return to Beijing to celebrate, and then it will be the time for the county to keep the matter." Whether it can be done or not depends on the recent situation, and all those people must be pulled over, otherwise, it is better to kill them than to let them leak the news. ”

He Hai immediately said: "Yes, don't worry, my subordinates will not disgrace their lives." ”

Lingxi City, Yuelai Inn.

The backyard of Tianzi has been wrapped up, the silly Chen Hu saw such an elegant and quiet room for the first time, it was rare to find the north, he looked east and west, curious about everything, reached out and touched it, picked up a vase for furnishings and looked at it non-stop, and almost didn't take a bite to try.

"Erhu, are you a little promising?" Long Ning played with his pigtails and looked at him with disdain: "Although it is the first time we have come to Lingxi City, can you not look like this, as if you have never seen anything, others will be embarrassed when they see you like this." ”

Leng Li, who was sitting on the chair on the side, smiled: "Ning'er, don't say that, Erhu, you have seen it when you went down the mountain before, but Erhu is the first time, so naturally everything is fresh." ”

As he spoke, he gently rubbed his knees, and when Long Ning saw his frowning and enduring pain, he rushed over: "Second senior brother, your leg hurts again?" I'll rub it for you. ”

Leng Li didn't speak, only let go of her hand, and let her soft little hands rub slowly on her knees. Everyone had long been accustomed to this, and they didn't even take a second look, only mentioning what happened in the City Lord's Mansion just now.

"Xiao Su, just now you checked the pulse of Mrs. Guan, and said that it can definitely be cured, are you really sure?" Mr. Long's real name is called Long Kai, when the list was unveiled just now, Steward Zhang mistakenly thought that his surname was Long, and he didn't correct it, but said: "This is not child's play, the stakes are very high, you can tell Uncle Guan what kind of disease the old lady has, why didn't you treat it directly just now?" ”

Chen Hu grinned and said, "Yes, junior brother, you are obviously the most skilled in medicine, and even your uncle can't compare to you, but why didn't you treat Old Madam Guan just now?" ”

Sitting on the table, Mu Xiaosu's white little face had a touch of blush, and said softly: "It is precisely because I know the cause of Mrs. Guan's illness that I didn't dare to directly prescribe medicine to treat the disease, because I was afraid that something would go wrong and affect everyone." ”

Long Ning said quickly: "It's just a doctor, what's the problem?" It's okay to look good, what's the problem if it's good? ”

Mu Xiaosu smiled: "Senior sister, if it weren't for the fact that we were in too much of a hurry to go down the mountain this time, and we lost the entanglement halfway, we wouldn't have unveiled the list of the city lord for this reward, right?" ”

Remembering that it was his own carelessness that he lost the coil along with the baggage, Long Ning couldn't help blushing and said eagerly: "Xiao Su, what do you want to say?" You're blaming Senior Sister, I lost my money and almost couldn't stay at the guest house, right? ”

"Naturally not, how could I blame Senior Sister."

Mu Xiaosu touched his face and said softly: "Actually, this time we went down the mountain, we wanted to go to Xichu to find the senior brother." Although Master Ning didn't say it before he died, we can all see that after so many years of separation, his old man actually misses his senior brother very much. Now that the master has passed away, and we have already decided, we naturally have to be cautious all the way in order to reach the capital of Western Chu smoothly. ”

Listening to his words, Leng Li couldn't help but say, "Xiao Su, do you mean that this City Lord's Mansion may still be in danger?" ”

"If we don't go to uncover the list, even if there is danger, it has nothing to do with us, but now, if we can't cure the old lady, we won't be able to earn the entanglement we need along the way. But if the old lady is cured, I am afraid that there will be extraneous branches, so today I asked my uncle to come back with everyone and discuss it carefully. ”

Only then did everyone notice something, and their faces were solemn, but Chen Hu grabbed his head and seemed to understand: "Little junior brother, what do you mean, this old lady can't be cured, and if it's not cured, it won't be done?" What should I do, I'm confused by what you said. ”

Long Kai had a calm face and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Su, what did you find, just say it." ”

"Yes, Uncle Shi."

The young man's face turned even redder, and he lowered his head and said, "When I was treating Old Madam Guan just now, I found that there was a problem. She had been hungry for three days and was dying, but it was not that she was sick, but that she had been pricked with a needle in her throat, which made her unable to speak, let alone eat. In such a situation, it cannot be an accident, it must be man-made. ”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and Long Ning even lost his voice and said, "How is it possible? ”

But that's just the way it is. Let's think about it, what is the identity of the old lady, how can she be casually harmed like this? Who is the one who did it? Does the lord of the castle know about this? That's what we need to think about now, after all, safety comes first. ”
