When the soldiers of the patrol battalion arrived, they immediately separated the crowd tightly surrounding the entrance of Cao's restaurant, and the soldiers lined up in two columns, separated by a three-person wide road for their captain to pass.

"What's the matter? There are so many of you gathered here, do you want to rebel?" The captain is not big, but in front of most of the ordinary people in the outer city, it is still not a problem to play prestige, he glared at him, and the people around him suddenly quieted down.

No one dared to answer the words of the captain of the patrol battalion, many people knew about the rebellion that took place a few days ago, and no one knew how many people died, but it was definitely indispensable, according to the meaning of the commander of the patrol battalion, it was not possible to be beaten into a rebel.

The shopkeeper of Cao's Restaurant was also frightened at first, but when he saw the familiar figure behind the crowd and the other party's signal, he suddenly made up his mind, straightened his clothes, and came to the patrol battalion captain to talk.

"My lord, it's like this, this fainted boy is a relative of our host, he is seriously ill, and he was originally going to be sent to the hospital for medical treatment, maybe the big guy misunderstood, thinking that we were going to drive people away, so they would gather around the door. ”

Although the shopkeeper is not happy that those people are nosy, he does not want to cause trouble at this time, and intends to attribute the matter to a misunderstanding, anyway, as long as he sends people away.

Although the captain of the patrol battalion received the benefits, if he really made a big fuss, he couldn't hold back, so he stroked his beard and pretended to mutter, "Since this is the case, then everyone should disperse, don't delay time, hurry up and send people to the hospital, don't make trouble and kill people." ”

This is not only to help disperse the crowd of encirclement, but also to warn the shopkeeper, that young owner can't die is the bottom line, at least no accident can happen in a short time, once someone lives, no one dares to guarantee that it will not make trouble to the Yamen of the Public Security Bureau, in case it is held accountable, the gains outweigh the losses.

There are still people in the crowd who can't look at it, but there are no people who dare to open their mouths to obstruct it, these people are ordinary people, who stopped the shopkeeper of Cao's Restaurant before, first, because of the large number of people, and secondly, they are taking advantage of the reason, and now they are facing the captain of the patrol battalion with official status, they don't have the courage, not to mention that there are dozens of patrol battalion soldiers with sticks next to them.

Helping the young owner to speak is to uphold justice, plus a few people took the lead, and they were enthusiastic for a while, and at this time, they calmed down when they saw the soldiers of the patrol battalion, not to mention anything else, they were pumped with a few sticks, and it was not comfortable.

The crowd did not disperse, but the soldiers of the patrol battalion pushed aside until the road was unobstructed, and no one dared to block the road, and the shopkeeper was overjoyed when he saw this, and the only thing that made him entangled was whether to send the young owner to the hospital, mainly whether the new owner was willing to pay the medical bills.

"Don't get someone to the hospital yet. Seeing that the shopkeeper hadn't moved for a long time, the captain of the patrol battalion urged impatiently, just got a sum of money, and he was still in a hurry to go to Yihong Mansion to find a familiar sister.

"Yes, the villain will go. The shopkeeper didn't dare to think about it at this time, and instructed the two juniors to carry the young owner, ready to send him to the hospital, if he didn't use a few dollars, it would be a big deal to pay out of his own pocket, and if the medical expenses were too expensive, he would not be treated.

After they left, the crowd outside Cao's Restaurant naturally dispersed, and a few of them didn't know if they were kind-hearted or liked to watch the excitement, and wondered if the shopkeeper really sent people to the hospital, so they actually left with them behind their butts.

The matter was settled, everyone left, of course the soldiers of the patrol battalion would not stay here any longer, after they left, the person who appeared before walked into the Cao restaurant with a cold face, and the little two who stayed behind stepped forward one after another to salute, calling the second owner in their mouths.

It turned out that this person was an uncle of the Shaodong family and one of the three new owners of Cao's Restaurant.

After getting this restaurant, it is not a big deal to raise a teenager, and they can also train him to be a shopkeeper, and even his salary can be saved.

But an accident made him discover that the young owner was dissatisfied with their plot to seize Cao's Restaurant, and secretly studied the laws of Northern Chu in private, wanting to find out the flaws and recapture Cao's Restaurant.

This was still the case, and it was hard to eat in his stomach, how could they be willing to vomit it again, so they began to withhold his food, arrange the heaviest and most tiring work for him to do, and finally tortured him to a serious illness.

I thought he would die of illness directly, but I didn't expect his life to be so hard, so he had to use that kind of lame excuse to drive people away, a teenager who was eleven or twelve years old and seriously ill, after leaving Cao's Restaurant, it was a question whether he could survive, and it was impossible to take the family property again.

It's not that the second owner didn't think about killing the young owner directly, but they just thought about it, they are ordinary businessmen, it's okay to play some conspiracies and tricks to seize Cao's restaurant, and you can't do this kind of thing by killing people's lives by yourself, that's not the same as torture and abuse to death, and being found out is a capital crime.

......?

Guizhi Medical Center, a medical hall near Cao's Restaurant, is not large, and the doctor's medical skills here are average, and the people who usually come to the doctor are just some patients with headache and brain fever, and the medicine prescribed by the doctor is also those few conventional prescriptions, which have the flavor of Guizhi herbs, hence the name.

A pair of medicines is no more than ten copper coins at most, and the people who come here to see a doctor mainly come for the word cheap, and the shopkeeper of Cao's Restaurant chose this place because it is cheap.

The hospital was empty, and there was not a single patient in sight, a gray-haired old doctor leaned on the back of his chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, and a small guy was napping on the counter, they were all the staff of this medical hall.

Shaodong's family was carried here, and when he arrived at the Guizhi Medical Center, there were many more people who joined in the fun, so the movement was naturally small.

The old doctor and the little guy were awakened almost at the same time, the old doctor's expression was a little dignified, but the little guy was very happy, and finally a patient came to the door, ran out quickly from behind the counter to meet him, and helped the two sweaty little two to carry the young man to the hospital bed next to the doctor.

"This disease is a bit serious, have you seen a doctor before?" A normal person can see that the young owner's condition is serious, no matter what the old doctor's medical skills are, he can also see it at a glance, while asking the shopkeeper about the situation, while checking the pulse of the young owner.

The shopkeeper frowned, he just wanted the doctor to prescribe some medicine casually, so that the young owner would not die immediately, "I haven't seen other doctors before, you can just prescribe a few pills." ”

The old doctor doesn't like to hear this, what is the meaning of prescribing medicine casually, saying that he is a quack doctor, more carefully than in the past to ponder the patient's symptoms, the body fever is serious, first of all, to give him a fever, racking his brains to think of the prescription, the first herb is naturally still a cinnamon branch, and then add all kinds of antipyretic herbs to the top, eliminate the opposing herbs.

While the old doctor was thinking about the prescription, the shopkeeper waited impatiently, took out a silver coin and handed it over, "Doctor, I still have something to do, so let him stay here and hand it over to you for slow treatment." ”
