"Sixth brother, are you talking about Zhang Yongqing? Not someone else?"
"It's not someone else, it's him. He is Ling, the former imperial physician of the Xinguo Medical Department." The sixth brother nodded with certainty, "I will never admit the wrong person. But - speaking of this, isn't this Zhang Yongqing the same as Shisan?
Does it have anything to do with the poison?"
Gu Ren’s eyes were filled with one sentence——
【Do you think it is possible?】
The sixth brother was so suspicious that he remained silent for a long time.
Not only Gu Ren thought it was absurd, he also thought it was impossible - you know, this Zhang He may be unknown in other places, and there is no trace of this person, but he is a well-known figure in Lingzhou, and can be said to be "the heart of the people"
"Everyone wants"! In a true sense, "well-loved by the people"! How good is your reputation?
So good that if his son said something bad about Zhang He, the parents at home would cut off the father-son/mother-son relationship with this unfilial son the next day!
This is definitely not an exaggeration!
But it’s true!
Gu Ren's brothers were also witnesses.
The old father beat his son with tears in his eyes, and kowtowed violently in the direction of Zhang He's residence, as if a believer who had made a mistake was repenting to the faith in his heart - repenting that he had raised such an ungrateful boy!
At first, Gu Ren and others thought it was too exaggerated.
The people in Lingzhou want to put Zhang He on the altar!
I also suspected that this was a drama that Zhang He hired someone to direct and perform in order to promote his own reputation. However, after their open and covert investigation, they found that they were judging the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart. His reputation is really good.
, without adding water.
Gu Ren also secretly envied that as long as Zhang He raised his arms, countless people would follow him to the death. Although he could do it one or two out of ten, he would never be as easy as Zhang He.
He also has twelve sworn brothers to help him.
What about Zhang He?
The family has been operating alone all the way.
On this point alone, I am far inferior to him.
If the sixth brother hadn't named him, Gu Ren doubted that he would even suspect Zhang He, so - could it really be him?
The sixth brother frowned and thought deeply for a while, then suddenly thought of something, and suddenly said: "Wait! Brother, do you still remember what Zhang He relied on to make a fortune? How did he gain such a high reputation among the people? It seems that Zhang He has such a high reputation among the people.
It’s not impossible for He—”
Gu Ren's mind didn't turn around for a moment.
"How did Zhang He make a fortune? He was not a kind-hearted doctor, so he went deep into the epidemic-stricken area of Lingzhou alone, and then -" As he spoke, Gu Ren paused and brushed his face, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of white putty, and he jumped
, "Epidemic! It's an epidemic!"
Gu Ren remembers it very clearly.
One year a large-scale plague broke out in Lingzhou.
The plague was raging everywhere, and countless people were infected.
This disease is strange to say. It is not fatal, but it will make people feel weak, golden-colored, and have no appetite. Even if they are force-fed, they will be uncomfortable and vomit. What is even more strange is that this plague only affects the lower class people.
broke out between.
There are basically no examples of nobles from aristocratic families being tricked.
Therefore, some people at that time speculated that this plague was caused by "poverty" and that ordinary people from lowly backgrounds were targeted because they were not clean.
For this reason, Lingzhou Prefecture did not pay attention to it.
The plague spread for more than a month. Every day, the corpses of people who were starved and emaciated were thrown into mass graves and other places outside the city. The bones piled up into hills. For a time, the public was so angry that the gates of the state capital were demolished and smashed by desperate people.
.
finally--
This matter spread to the court of King Xin.
However, because this plague only spread among the lowest level of the people, the former leader of the Xin Kingdom did not pay much attention to it and sent a dozen medical officers from the Medical Department to deal with it. There was a shortage of medicinal materials and manpower, and the medical officers from the Medical Department studied
No progress for months.
The former king was worried that the "poverty" disease in Lingzhou would spread to other places. After careful consideration, he ordered the Lingzhou Prefecture to gather the sick people into a city. In name, it was to gather together to facilitate the treatment of the medical officers of the Medical Department. In fact, it was
Let them fend for themselves!
It was at this moment that Zhang He fell from the sky.
Emmm——
To be precise, there was a filial daughter who took her sick old mother everywhere to seek medical treatment but to no avail. In desperation, she prepared to take her old mother with her on the road to avoid starving to death. As a result, she accidentally broke into Zhang He's small medical clinic where she lived in seclusion.
He was cured of the plague.
Zhang He also learned about what was happening in the outside world from the mouth of his filial daughter, and immediately packed his bags and went out for diagnosis and treatment. According to Zhang He, he was originally the son of a lonely branch of a small clan. He was frail since he was a child, had been ill for a long time, and then became a doctor.
Score three points for a true pass.
How could he see the suffering of all sentient beings and ignore them?
Zhang He was not afraid of being dirty, tired, and smelly. He entered a city full of patients alone and begged a local wealthy family for medicinal materials. The patriarch made things difficult for him and said that he would give him credit on his knees for three days. Zhang He
I really knelt for three days and three nights!
And due to lack of manpower, Zhang He intercepted the evacuated medical officers from the Medical Department overnight. He relied on his superb medical skills to win the battle, and also taught ordinary people some medical techniques without reservation. With his sleepless and non-stop spirit, he finally started a month later.
city!
At this point, Zhang He became famous in one battle!
The lonely little clan also stood up and recognized this clan member.
Zhang He opened a medical clinic in Lingzhou.
I don’t know if it was because of the plague. He treated ordinary people without taking any money. He also treated high-ranking families. Death was expensive. To save someone’s life, he had to scrape off a thick layer of oil and water from them! When the people heard this, they all responded.
Applaud Zhang He for a job well done!
Of course, this incident alone is not enough to push Zhang He's reputation so high. He also has a unique skill!
It is said that Zhang He learned it from his immortal mentor.
Regardless of whether the illness is serious or minor, even if the patient has lost half of his life, just one pack of medicine can cure King Yama!
No matter how poor the people are, they can still afford three pennies a pack of medicine. If they are so poor that they can't even afford three pennies, Zhang He will not embarrass the patients and just give it away for free.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang He is the reborn parent in the eyes of many people in Lingzhou, especially the poor people!!!
That kind of people--
It’s really possible that he was the culprit who killed Thirteen!
That plague was the battle of Zhang He’s fame!
Gu Ren murmured: "There were so many highly skilled medical officers in the medical department who were unable to deal with the plague, but Zhang He alone was able to deal with it. It's hard to say that he didn't cause this plague... But, can anyone really be so crazy?"
The sixth brother said: "It's hard to say."
Gu Ren fell into a long silence for a while.
The sixth brother continued: "Actually, now that I think about it -"
Gu Ren: "What?"
Sixth brother: "That plague was more like a plague than a plague, because the people were not sick at all, they were bewitched! All the medical officers in the medical department went in the wrong direction and used medical treatment to solve the problem.
Gu, of course, cannot work! Furthermore, brother, do you believe there is any disease in the world that only targets poor and lowly common people?"
There were waves in Gu Ren's eyes.
The more he thought about it, the more he realized it was not impossible.
Gu Ren scolded his sixth brother in a low voice: "Be careful! Why do you dare to say anything? You don't want to talk about this matter!"
Even more impossible to admit it!
Once you admit that there is such a disease, it is tantamount to admitting that the blood shed by ordinary people is inferior and different from those born in noble families. Even if there are ordinary people who have become ordinary people from poor families through hard work for several generations, but
How to change the blood flowing in the bones?
Do you hope to marry a high-ranking family to change your bloodline?
This is really ridiculous!
The sixth brother rarely saw Gu Ren angry.
Being scolded by him like this, I also stopped talking.
Gu Ren rubbed his sore eyebrows.
"Sixth brother, since you already know where the Thirteenth problem lies, you should follow this direction. You have to give it a try. As for Zhang He - it would be okay if it wasn't him. If it was really him, haha! He would have to let him do it.
He is ruined!"
Gu Ren and Zhang He had a conflict of interests.
However, due to Zhang He's excellent reputation, Gu Ren did not dare to confront him head-on, for fear of arousing public anger and backfire on him. Now that he has a handle, it is a "blessing in disguise".
The sixth brother sighed.
He is well versed in the diseases of children and women, but has little research on poisonous insects. Now he can only try the method mentioned by Mr. Shen.
But in this case, I owe someone a favor.
Gu Ren also knows this.
However, he already knew how to pay it back.
The night is dark and windy.
A black shadow slipped back into the main tent without alerting anyone. Seeing that no one had touched the tent furnishings, Gong Xiqiu breathed a sigh of relief.
He raised his hand to take off his armor, and then asked someone to bring a basin of clean water in to wash up. His expression suddenly changed!
"Who! Get out!"
He yelled at the shadow in a low voice.
The next moment, a human-like shadow emerged from the previously empty shadow, and the shadow turned into a familiar person.
Disgust climbed onto Gong Xiqiu's face: "Why is it you?"
The visitor's expression was gloomy: "It's late at night, Major General, if you don't stay in the tent, why are you going out? It's a serious crime to collaborate with the enemy in private!"
Gong Xiqiu curled his lips.
"Collaborating with the enemy? Do you have any evidence?"
He really hated this King Pig's staff.
The voice he spoke was like a poisonous snake swallowing snake messages, giving people a sticky and sinister feeling. The key is that his ghost is still lingering, and he appears here inexplicably, and Gongxi Qiu has murderous intentions.
King She's aide said: "I am a witness."
When Gong Xiqiu heard this, he showed a hint of ridicule and made a gesture of invitation: "Okay! Could you please go there in person and tell my adoptive father that I collaborate with the enemy? My car is broken, Ling Chi is still cut in half, my Gong Xiqiu is waiting for you. !If you have nothing else to do, I won’t accompany you for the time being!”
After that, get ready to take off your clothes and go to bed.
King Sheng's staff looked at him with deep eyes.
"Gong Xiqiu!"
"here I am."
Gong Xiqiu turned his back to him and sorted out the scattered military documents.
King She's staff asked: "Do you know my family name?"
Gong Xiqiu smiled and said in a strange tone: "What does my last name have to do with you, sir? Cats, dogs, pigs, and cows are all fine, but--"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by King Pig's staff.
"My surname is Gongxi."
The smile on Gong Xiqiu's face suddenly froze.
King She's staff watched his reaction with great interest and sneered: "Why, why does Major General Gongxi have such an expression?"
A look of sullenness appeared on Gong Xiqiu's face.
"What do you think I want to do now?"
King Sheng's staff looked at him without fear.
Gong Xiqiu: "I want to twist your head off!"
This person is really hateful!
Don't look at him smiling in front of Shen Tang in private, with a cheerful look, as if he doesn't care much about anything, but there is only one thing that is his weakness, Ni Lin!
He doesn't allow anyone to make fun of him!
But King Sheng's staff didn't care.
Ask: “Do you want to see the evidence?”
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
He didn't dare to respond for a moment.
Except for the members of their clan, few people know that the clan members all carry a mark on their bodies, which is also their identity certificate.
Seeing that Gong Xiqiu remained silent, the staff envoy sneered, raised his hand to untie the waistband, slowly took off his shirt, and exposed his shoulder blades sideways. After a little stimulation of Dan Mansion's literary energy, after a while, a complex pattern of group lines slowly appeared emerge.
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
The aide envoy lifted up the clothes that were hanging down on his shoulders.
Asked: "Do you believe that?"
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
The envoy from King Sheng's staff said: "Forget it, it's okay if you don't believe it."
Gong Xiqiu said: "No one in the clan has been reduced."
"What?"
"I have collected the bones of every clan member. There is no missing person. I also have the genealogy in my hands. Who are you?"
They are a family that talks about whether it is small or big, and whether it is big or not.
Counting him, there are only 265 people.
He was one corpse after another, checking and crossing out the names. For a whole day and night, not even the corpse that was thrown into the pottery urn and boiled until the bones and flesh were separated was not left behind - except for him, there was no living person.
Who is this person in front of me?
"Oh, are you talking about the name on the genealogy? I crossed out the name myself. I crossed it out the day I left the clan." King Pig's staff looked indifferent, as if stating a trivial matter. Gong Xiqiu looked at him
Face, he did something that he wanted to do the day he met the staff envoy, and gave him a fist.
result--
The fist passed through the person's body.
It turned out to be empty!
The messenger looked at Gong Xiqiu as if he were looking at a fool. Could he not know that Gong Xiqiu had murderous intentions towards him?
He's not stupid even if he doesn't hold back even though he knows it well.
Gong Xiqiu: "Who are you?"
The staff envoy said: "You can't read the genealogy yourself?"
Gong Xiqiu: "...Then why do you help Zhou to do evil?"
The aide envoy sneered.
"How qualified are you to ask this? A thief is his father's son!"
Gong Xiqiu was so enraged that his eyes turned red.
If he couldn't hit the person, he would have to tear the person in half alive! Gong Xiqiu gritted his teeth: "I do this, of course there is a reason for doing so! Besides, he is just a knife in the hands of others.
What I want is the life of the culprit!"
The staff messenger just said lightly.
"what do you mean?"
The aide envoy did not answer.
Gong Xiqiu suddenly remembered something.
"Have you ever thought about taking revenge on your tribe?"
The staff messenger did not answer directly: "Go back and check the family tree. If you check it, you won't ask such stupid questions. I'm not here to catch you for collaborating with the enemy. I'm here to tell you what's going on in Xiaocheng.
We may have to withdraw our troops..."
Gong Xiqiu frowned: "Withdraw troops? Why so suddenly?"
The staff envoy Huo Di made a strange mockery: "The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind, but the national seal has fallen into the hands of others."
