Now that Guo Jianshi, Hejian Junwang and others are here, the few apprentices of Mu Jiaojiao naturally can't hold back, and they all say that they will also follow the pace of the master.

After Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu discussed, only one person was left to sit in Hailing County and take a small apprentice, and two people served the old ministers in Gaoling County, and the remaining two people and Chang Taiyi came to Yangzhou City, and opened a new medical center in Yangzhou City.

With the construction of the new medical hall, Mu Jiaojiao made the decision to let the apprentices recruit a group of young apprentices.

Although the apprentices have only been with her for more than three years, because they have solid basic skills, these three years have been through Mu Jiaojiao's pointing, coupled with almost daily practice, one by one's medical skills have improved rapidly, and it is enough to pull them out and take charge of themselves. So now, it's completely feasible to let them take in apprentices again.

But as soon as the news of the opening of the new clinic was released, some people couldn't sit still.

On this day, the owners of several pharmacies in Yangzhou City made an appointment to discuss the matter in a restaurant.

"Originally, in Hailing County, as soon as the Mu Shengshengtang came out, it almost blocked the way of life of other medical centers. But Hailing County is a small place, and there are few good medical centers, so the people ran there, and other medical centers didn't dare to say anything. But now, the medical halls in our Yangzhou City are all running well, and the old doctors in them are all veterans for many years, even if the medical skills are not as good as the prefect's wife, can they not even compare with a few of her little apprentices? But because of her signboard of the miracle doctor, now the people are rushing to the Mu Family Shengshengtang, and the business of our several medical centers is not as good as day by day. In this matter, we must come up with a charter together! Otherwise, we will all have to drink the northwest wind together!"

The person who spoke was Ge Cangshu, the head of the most prestigious medical family in Yangzhou City, who started with acupuncture, and now acupuncture is second to none in the entire Yangzhou Prefecture. But since Mu Jiaojiao rescued Liu San, who committed suicide by hitting the wall, with a golden needle at the gate of the mansion that day, the prestige of Ge's acupuncture has been seriously impacted.

But fortunately, the medicine hall opened by Mu Jiaojiao later was in Hailing County, and the service objects were naturally mainly the people of Hailing County. Although the people in other places admire Mu Jiaojiao's name, it is too troublesome to go to Hailing County, if it is just a little illness and pain, everyone naturally chooses to solve it in the medical hall at the door of their own homes.

In particular, Yangzhou City is the capital of Yangzhou Prefecture, and the medical resources here are generally much better than those of Hailing County, so the impact is minimal.

But now, Mu Jiaojiao has come to Yangzhou City, and the situation is different.

As early as when he learned that Cui Pu was promoted to the prefect of Yangzhou, Ge Cangshu began to beat the drum in his heart. And now, the facts have also proved his guess - Mu Jiaojiao really plans to spread the medicine wherever people go now!

This incident had a huge impact on the medicine hall in the entire Yangzhou City, and he quickly gathered a group of people and horses to discuss countermeasures together.

There are 36 medical centers in Yangzhou City, which belong to nine families, of which the Ge family accounts for seven of them. The remaining ones occupy only four, and the least is one.

However, Ge Cangshu's concerns are also their concerns. So Ge Cangshu asked them to come over in a post, and they all came. Now when they hear Ge Cangshu say this, they all have sad faces.

"It is said that if anyone wants to open a medicine hall in Yangzhou City, they must first come to our Yangzhou Medicine Club to say hello and get our consent before acting. However, it is the prefect's wife who is opening the medicine hall right now, do we dare to let her come and greet us?, and do we dare to disagree with her request?" another man with slender cheeks squinted and said lightly.

Yangzhou is located in a prosperous area, there are many people coming and going, and there are many local people who often live here, and now there are more and more foreign populations. People will get sick, so opening a pharmacy is definitely a profitable business. It's just that over the years, the pharmacy business in Yangzhou has been controlled by these nine families, and outsiders want to come in and get a piece of the pie.

And even if someone really dredges up the relationship, they also have a way to squeeze people out. After all, in terms of relationships and qualifications, these old Yangzhou are much deeper than newcomers. As long as they want to, then they don't have to worry about finding a way to toss people. For example, if you carry a seriously ill patient to the door of the new medicine hall, your doctor should cure him, but if he can't cure it, then your medical skills are not good, and you are here to make money and kill people! You are all black-hearted and ruthless things from top to bottom, and none of them are well-intentioned!

Otherwise, start from the medicinal materials in the shop and secretly ask someone to adulterate some fake medicine into it, or estimate that the medicine in the herbs you have grasped will be replaced with a name or a medicinal material with a similar appearance, but the medicinal properties are very different, and then sue them for a cursory life......

In this way, they have joined hands to do this kind of thing over the years, and they have gradually controlled the pharmaceutical market in the entire Yangzhou City steadily, and they have seen a lot of money roll into their arms every year.

But now, this newcomer is the prefect's wife, do you have the ability to move her to try?

That's how many people who have treated the doctors of the court, and they are still the daughters-in-law of the elders of the court. Her husband is now the boss of Yangzhou Mansion, and he is even more arrogant. Whoever dares to provoke him will end up with only one word - death! And as long as anyone dares to touch the people he cares about, the end will be even worse - life is better than death!

Cui Pu's piles and piles have caused an uproar in the entire Yangzhou Mansion, and they have all heard of it. Now it's a hundred dares for them, and they don't dare to stumble on the prefect's wife!

That's where their headache lies. Otherwise, these people would not have gathered together solemnly to deliberate.

"However, we can't just watch the Mu Shengshengtang family dominate and squeeze out all of us, right?" said another, "We also have to live!"

"Isn't that the truth?" Ge Cangshu nodded hurriedly, "As soon as the Mu Clan's Shengsheng Hall opens, I'm afraid that our medicine hall will be closed, this is to force us to die! It's just that worrying is not a solution, let's discuss it and come up with a solution together! Otherwise, we can only go to the prefect's wife together to let us live!"

When the others heard this, they couldn't help but sneer in their hearts - okay, you Ge Cangshu, you are going to pull all of us into the water!

Who doesn't know that several of the apprentices taught by the prefect's wife are all good at acupuncture, which naturally collides with your family's old profession. And now there are the most medicine halls in Yangzhou City, and you have been hit the most. So no matter what, you have to stand up and fight for yourself.

But now, you have tied us all together, and you want to encourage us to go to the prefect's wife to make trouble!

On weekdays, the seven pharmacies under your name have robbed almost half of the business in Yangzhou City, and forced us to buy medicine from your pharmacies. It can be said that we are all picking up the leftovers of your family to live. We all admit it, who told you that the Ge family is deeply rooted in Yangzhou City, and we can't fight?

It's good now, when something happens, you, the boss, immediately shrink your neck and pretend to be a grandson?

When you divide the good, you have to take a large portion and drive everyone else out. And when it comes to facing danger, you actually want to share the risk evenly? You can't help but think about things too beautifully!

Someone immediately stood up and said, "This matter still has to be considered in the long run! Anyway, I dare not offend the prefect's wife." Hengzhu, our Lu family, also opened a pharmacy in Yangzhou City, if it is really squeezed to the point that there is no way to live, it is a big deal not to do this business!"

The Lu family is also a big family in Yangzhou City. Their focus is actually on the silk business, and this medicine hall is still the head of the Lu family who opened a pharmacy to make money, so he invited a few old doctors with good medical skills to come and open it. They just squeezed into this market to get a piece of the pie, and their ambitions were not too big, which was still within the scope of the Ge family's tolerance, so their medicine hall existed safely until now. The head of the Lu family didn't show up today, but just sent a steward over.

When Ge Cangshu heard this, he immediately became angry.

He summoned these people together just to stir up everyone's emotions, so that everyone could go and negotiate with the prefect's wife together, so that she could take a step back. As a result, now, he didn't say a few words, and some people actually retreated!

And with the Lu steward taking the lead, the others also showed a loose look, and their words were soft, and there was no momentum at all.

Today's gathering is a no-brainer!

Ge Cangshu secretly screamed in his heart-Could it be that he really wants to sit still and wait to die?

Seeing that the scene was out of control, he heard a slight knocking sound coming from outside. He shouted angrily: "Who? Didn't I confess, without our orders, the idlers were not allowed to come and disturb?"

Before his words fell, he heard an unusually humble voice say: "A certain surname Cui, who is the current housekeeper of the prefect's mansion, learned that the people of the Yangzhou City Medicine Association are gathered here today, and specially sent a post to you on behalf of my wife." ”

These calm words were like a thunderclap on the ground, and all the brains were blown apart!

Ge Cangshu's face was even pale, and Rao was also shaky when he sat on the Taishi chair.

The housekeeper in the prefect's mansion is still surnamed Cui, isn't it the little fourth child next to Cui Pu? However, the name of the little fourth is now only called by the prefect and the prefect's wife. Now in Yangzhou Mansion, who sees him and has to call Cui Siye respectfully?

And just now, Cui Siye came to the door on behalf of the prefect's wife, and he actually yelled at him so unceremoniously, isn't this self-defeating? This Cui Siye grew up with Cui Zhifu since he was a child, and he is like a brother with Cui Zhifu!

It's over, he's looking for his own death!

But thinking so in his heart, he didn't dare to delay, and bounced up from the chair in a hurry, and arrived at the door before the person closest to the door panel, and opened the door with his own hands, and with a bright smile on his face, he couldn't imagine that the person who spoke disrespectfully just now was him.

"Fourth Master Cui, please come in!" he hurriedly said to Xiao Si'er diligently, and then shouted to Dr. Tea, "Hurry up and send your best tea here, as well as snacks, and all of them have been withdrawn from the new ones!"

Xiao Si'er stood at the door, only glanced inside, and said with a smile: "It's great that everyone is here today." I'm not going in, here's my wife's post, so let's take a copy of each of you!"

Ge Cangshu hurriedly took the post respectfully, and then distributed it to others one by one.

Everyone took the post and opened it, and suddenly their faces were red and green, and it became more and more exciting.

Xiao Si'er took their performance into his eyes, and then bowed his head and said, "Since the post has been delivered, then it is time for so-and-so to leave." If there is something else, I won't bother you, and I ask you to be there on time. ”

"That's that, Mrs. Prefect sincerely invited, how dare we not go? We will definitely go when the time comes!" Ge Cangshu nodded and agreed.

Xiao Si'er nodded, and turned around.

The group sent him out of the door of the restaurant, and when he looked back, everyone showed bitterness.

"Master Ge, what do you say to do now, I'm afraid that there will be no good banquet right now!" Steward Lu said with a shaky post, "Mrs. Prefect is such a shrewd person. She knew that we were dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything, and until today, when we gathered here, she sent someone to wipe us out! Does this mean that in fact, our every move is under her control?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed drastically.

Ge Cangshu's mouth also trembled, but he immediately lowered his face and said, "But no matter what, it's a fact that her medical clinic has robbed us of our business. Even if she is the prefect's wife, she can't do this! She's too domineering! I have to make this matter clear to her, and I must ask her to give us an explanation!"

This is a weak ...... They couldn't bear to hear it.

And hearing everyone's reaction from Xiao Si'er, Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly: "Okay, I know." I've worked hard for you today, now I'll give you half a day off, and you can go back to accompany your daughter!"

Xiao Si'er quickly thanked him, and then ran away.

Hongdou gave birth to a little lady last year, and she is also unusually well-behaved and cute, and Xiao Si'er really hurts this daughter into her heart, and she feels uncomfortable if she doesn't hug her daughter every day.

After Mu Jiaojiao found out, she often used this to ridicule Cui Pu, saying that he and Xiao Si'er really deserved to be masters and servants, and they both had exactly the same taste. Cui Pu was very proud, as soon as she said it, he nodded in agreement, as if this was a very worthy thing to show off.

And now, as soon as Xiao Si'er left, Cui Pu looked at her and said, "Are you really going to meet that group of people......?"

"Dealing with those men, where can I use it? I'm just going to post it for the next post, and the rest of the things will be settled with the help of Doctor Chang. I've already worked everything out with him. He stole so much from me, he had to show something, didn't he?" Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly, and yawned again.

Cui Pu immediately nodded: "You're right! Leave this matter to him to do, it couldn't be better!"

At this moment, the Imperial Physician Chang who was talked about by them was facing a thick stack of densely written papers, wanting to cry without tears.

"I've been fooled! I've been fooled again! I know that these little bites are not a good thing, and if you eat their things, you must return them twice, otherwise they won't agree!"

"These two ...... Two cunning foxes!"
