Chapter 43: Honor
Zhang Xiuyuan glanced at Zhao Chenghui with a strange expression, and asked, "I take the liberty of asking, has Ling Lang or anyone in your family ever taken a human life?" ”
"What do you mean, Daoist?"
Zhao Chenghui's face changed when he heard this, and he thought that this Taoist priest was slandering himself, and said with shame and annoyance: "The dog is only eleven years old, and he is still a child; And I have been an official in this Gusu for more than ten years, and I have been conscientious, not to mention for the country and the people, but I have never been persecuted and blamed, how can I ever bear human life!? ”
"Lord Zhao, don't worry..."
An Jiuling knew that Uncle Zhao's question was definitely meaningful, and hurriedly relieved: "The practice of medicine is about looking, hearing and asking, and my uncle's question should be to find the cause, not to slander Lord Zhao as a person." ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly turned around and explained: "Uncle Shi, Lord Zhao is in charge of the inspection of the capital in Gusu City, he has a upright personality and is an honest official, and he is a good official recognized by the people. ”
"It's okay..."
Zhang Xiuyuan also knew that his question was a little ambiguous, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and explained: "It seems that this kind of hysteria caused by evil spirits generally has some causal relationship between evil spirits and the patient or the patient's family, so the poor Tao needs to ask the cause to be cured. ”
"What a wicked!?"
Zhao Chenghui heard that his only son was contaminated with evil spirits, and his heart ached, so he immediately opened his robe and knelt on the ground, and bowed his hand and said: "Just now Zhao was anxious and unintentionally offended the Taoist chief, so I hereby make amends to the Taoist chief, and I hope that the Taoist elder has a large number of people to save the dog!" ”
"Lord Zhao, please get up..."
Seeing this, Zhang Xiuyuan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said with relief: "Ling Lang is covered with evil, and there is indeed a way to cure the poor Dao, but this matter is related to the entanglement of cause and effect, so you need to ask the reason." ”
"Zhao understands..."
Zhao Chenghui said with a straight face: "There are only three people in Zhao's family, and the dog Zhao Yuheng is young, although he is a little naughty, but he is mostly controlled at home, and there is no possibility of carrying human life; The clumsy Jing Liu family does not go out of the door on weekdays, but she is a beautiful lady who has no power to restrain the chicken, and it is impossible to bear human life. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger to the sky and swore an oath: "I, Zhao Chenghui, swear to the sky, I have a clear conscience for officials and people for many years, and I have never done persecution and blame. ”
"Poor Dao believes that Lord Zhao is a human being..."
Zhang Xiuyuan bowed slightly, and then thought of his official body, and asked: "If the poor road is not wrong, the inspection is responsible for managing the city's appearance, public security and other things?" ”
"The Taoist Chief's eyes are like torches..."
"Then Lord Zhao has taken over some murders?"
"Murder? That's too much..."
Zhao Chenghui was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then responded with some bitterness: "I'm not afraid of the jokes of the Taoist, Zhao is not treated well in the officialdom for some reasons, so he has been in the post of patrol inspector in this capital for more than ten years, and he has taken over countless cases during this period, and there are many murders." ”
Zhang Xiuyuan nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Zhao Yuheng who was tied to the seat, and said, "Lord Zhao, I will untie Ling Lang from my troubles, and I have something to ask." ”
"This ......"
Zhao Chenghui hesitated when he heard this, and reminded: "Dao Chief, since the dog has been infected with this evil and has this hysteria, he has become a six relatives who do not recognize it, not only can he not listen to people's words, but it is difficult to communicate; If someone approaches, they will attack them like crazy. ”
"It doesn't matter."
Zhang Xiuyuan bowed his head slightly to indicate that he knew about this matter, and explained: "Untie it, what the poor Dao wants to ask about is the evil in Ling Lang's body." ”
“……”
Zhao Chenghui heard this, his breath stagnated, nodded blankly, and then leaned to the edge of the chair and opened the knot tied to his only son.
On the seat, Zhao Yuheng, who had eyes rolling and his hands and feet spasms, noticed that the rope was untied, and he seemed to have come to his senses!
There was someone in front of the meeting, and he wanted to pounce on him.
"It's so angry..."
Seeing this, Zhang Xiuyuan snorted coldly, and with a wave of the dust in his hand, the dust tail seemed to come to life under the coercion of true qi, and instantly tied the hands that attacked.
He held the dust handle in one hand, and pointed at the acupuncture points on Zhao Yuheng's body with the other, seeing that his body was stiff and unable to move, he asked, "Which immortal are you?" Which unjust ghost died? ”
“……”
Zhao Yuheng grinned and howled, as if he couldn't understand people's words, or he understood, but he didn't want to pay attention.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiuyuan was unimpressed, and said: "Now that the master is begging me to heal the disease, what do you want, what grievances and inconveniences you have and what the master said, you can tell me now, I can do it." ”
“……”
That Zhao Yuheng was still grinning and howling.
"You've been with this kid for some time, he's only eleven years old, and he can't stand your toss like this."
Zhang Xiuyuan lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and said to himself: "If you want to eat and drink, I can prepare pig's head, roast chicken and other food for you, so that you can eat and drink to your heart's content; If you have a grievance to reveal, I can also call the shots for you; As long as you ask, I can meet all your requirements..."
“……”
Zhao Yuheng seemed to be distracted for a moment when he heard this, and then he still bared his teeth and howled...
"Hiding in the human body doesn't necessarily mean it's safe..."
Zhang Xiuyuan sighed and said: "Poor Dao has been persuaded three times, since you are unwilling to negotiate, then don't blame Poor Dao for being strong." ”
After that, he sealed Zhao Yuheng's acupoint, took back the dust, looked at An Jiuling on the side and explained: "Jiuling, you take Lord Zhao to pay the consultation fee, and it's the same as before, I'll go get the needle." ”
With that, he walked back into the mountains...
An Jiuling bowed down and replied, "The disciple knows." ”
And Zhao Chenghui saw him go away, and glanced at his only son who was frozen in place and couldn't move, and he also knew that he had met a master with cultivation on this trip.
He has been an official for many years, but because of his upright character, his family is not wealthy, and he was worried about the safety of his only son, and he didn't ask for more medical expenses when he came...
Now that he heard that the Taoist chief mentioned the consultation fee, and An Jiuling still had a secretive smile on his face, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart, so he asked cautiously: "Brother An, but I don't know how much consultation fee is needed for long-term treatment?" ”
"No more, no less~"
An Jiuling's young heart, in his eyes, the uncle who only charges a penny for the consultation fee is simply a celestial, and he especially likes the surprise of others when they know that the consultation fee only costs a penny.
At the moment, he smiled and stretched out a finger...
"A tael of silver?"
When Zhao Chenhui saw that finger, his heart relaxed, and he secretly thought that this Dao Chang is a master of cultivation, and the consultation fee of one or two silver is really not expensive...
When he saw An Jiuling smiling and shaking his head, the heartstrings he had just loosened instantly tightened again, and he asked with some surprise: "Could it be a hundred taels?" ”
He secretly sighed that the consultation fee of one hundred taels of silver was really expensive, but he also thought that the only son in the family was tortured by evil, and if one hundred taels of silver could cure the only son, it would be worth it!
It's a big deal, but you can make it up after all!
When he saw An Jiuling still smiling and shaking his head, his face stiffened, and his heart was half cold, secretly thinking that who could afford the consultation fee of 1,000 taels? This person is inevitably too greedy for money.
An Jiuling also saw that he wanted to be crooked, and said with a smile: "I guessed wrong, it's a penny~"
"How much?"
"A penny!"
"One...... A penny? ”
Zhao Chenghui was not only a little distracted when he heard this, but also thought that there was something wrong with his ears, and hurriedly asked: "The Taoist only charges a penny for the consultation?" ”
"It's just a penny~"
An Jiuling nodded, and saw that the eyes of the two people around him were focused on him, and he explained with a state of honor: "My uncle said that those who are sincere and kind come to seek medical treatment, and a penny of life-saving money is enough; Those who are ignorant and cunning come to seek medical treatment, even if they bring thousands of gold, it is useless. ”
“……”
The two people around him were quiet, and Mo said that Zhao Chenghui was the subordinates who helped him carry the chair with disbelief on their faces.
"Zhao admires! Admire!! ”
Zhao Chenghui sighed lightly and said with emotion: "Zhao is from the capital, and when he was young, he consciously saw a lot of elegant people with noble character. ”
"That's ~"
An Jiuling raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard this, pointed to the prayer pool not far away and said: "My uncle is an outsider, Lord Zhao only needs to take a penny and pray sincerely, and if he puts the consultation fee into the pool, he can be regarded as a pilgrim who is too vain. ”
"I'm tired..."
Zhao Chenghui arched his hand, and then went to the prayer pool...
And on the other side...
Lu Zhaozhao came back to his senses, and a smile appeared on his face, and he felt more and more that this Zhang Taixu was interesting.
Immediately, she thought of the 'incense' picked up by the group behind her, turned around and whispered: "Take those things back, the province is embarrassed..."
Jin Chuanchang was stunned when he heard this, and asked cautiously, "Do you want to take it all back?" ”
"Just leave the money, food, and drinks."
"Yes......"
