Chapter 69
Xue Lang didn't quite understand.
Shen Jiao... Never mind, since she is a suspected player, she must have some tricks up her sleeve.
Wei Qian...what right did he have? He and Xue Shun had only known each other for a few days, and their favorability was so high?
Could it be that Xue Shun knew his true identity and wanted to recruit him?
After all, he is a famous doctor, and Xue Shun is a patient. It is normal for him to have a good impression of the person who can solve his illness. The system only knows about love, which is really making a fuss.
What is really worth worrying about is that damn Shen Jiao.
Xue Lang had a gloomy and ferocious look on his face. The next moment, he fainted, knocking over the teapot and teacups on the table and bringing them to the bench, making crackling sounds.
The gatekeeper outside called out "Sixth Young Master" twice, but when he heard no response, he pushed the door open and came in to check.
On the other side, in the Liao'e courtyard.
Xue Shun and Shen Jiao's eager gazes were still fixed on Wei Qian.
The three of them were in a stalemate for a long time.
Zheng Xiaoniang's expression froze as she stepped out to smooth things over, "I've heard a little about this, but Jiangnan Road is in such a mess. Ever since the Qinghe Gang's old leader died and the young leader disappeared, there's been no order in that area. It's become a fat piece of meat that everyone wants to take a bite of. Even small merchant ships without any influence dare not go there.
It is still unclear whether the reward offered several years ago can be redeemed. Moreover, I heard from Eleven that this Doctor Wei is very powerful. The Sixth Young Master values him very much and wants to recruit him to work under him. He sends people to block the door of Doctor Wei's house every day. They follow Doctor Wei wherever he goes, for fear that he will encounter any danger.
Madam is quite polite to Doctor Wei, which shows that he has real skills. If he can cure Seventeen's body, it will be a benefit worth a fortune."
Zheng Xiaoniang almost had the words "Don't be confused" written on her face.
He really tried his best to stop the fight.
Wei Qian nodded repeatedly, "Young Master Seventeen's illness is just a common one, not difficult to treat. It's just that it's been delayed for too long, and the recovery hasn't been good. Coupled with the Purple Gold Pill... Anyway, I have a plan in mind. Young Master Seventeen might as well give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll leave it to you to decide!"
Wei Qian said this with absolute certainty.
The sadness in my heart had already been overflowing. What was going on? How did everyone know about this? It had been so many years? And Xuanhu Hall hadn't publicized it back then, out of shame... At least it wasn't publicized enough, right? How did it end up spreading to Huisheng Valley? Who was so rude? And Xue Lang, he kept using this to threaten people... In short, I couldn't stay here anymore. I had to pack up and get out.
The premise is... to escape this disaster.
Wei Qianke was too familiar with the looks in Shen Jiao and Xue Shun's eyes. What was revealed in them was not emotion, but greed. They were crazy about money. At this moment, he was just a piece of fish on the chopping board. It only took a moment to decide whether to cut it into pieces and cook it in a frying pan, or to keep it for later.
Shen Jiao and Xue Shun looked at each other.
They are all somewhat unwilling.
Xue Shun wanted to use him to exchange money for Shen Jiao.
Shen Jiao simply wanted to eat this piece of 'meat', but due to her current status, she didn't dare to be presumptuous and could only say kindly, "Young Master's health is more important."
Xue Shun was moved: She didn't even think about herself, she really cares about me, this head must be obtained, but not in front of Zheng Xiaoniang.
Xue Shun cleared his throat and said, "Mrs. Zheng is right. It is Seventeen's fortune to have met Doctor Wei. If Doctor Wei is willing, then Seventeen's illness will be treated by Doctor Wei. I will give him a generous gift after the matter is completed."
Give him a big, solid coffin, preferably made of iron, to prevent him from escaping by pretending to be dead.
Shen Jiao was daydreaming happily.
"You're welcome, Mr. Seventeen." Wei Qian bowed and said with pretended belief.
Everyone laughed and the room became harmonious.
When Doctor Sun was invited in, he saw that annoying colleague giving acupuncture to the Seventeenth Young Master.
They were talking and laughing and seemed to be on very good terms. They didn't show any signs of being kicked out. They even looked at him with puzzled eyes, as if he shouldn't be there.
Did you ask him to come and see this specifically?
There was some confusion and sadness in Doctor Sun's eyes: Am I a lowly doctor?
"Thank you, Doctor Sun, for making this trip. It's a good opportunity for you to appreciate the prescription written by me." Wei Qian tried his best to restrain himself but couldn't help showing a smug look.
Sun Lang's heart was pierced: it was too much. He was not even willing to be polite and said yes, inviting him to come together to diagnose and treat the disease.
Did he think I would praise his prescription?
Feeling indignant, I raised my hand to take it and took a look: It's just...it's okay, nothing special. When I'm in my eighties, I'll be able to prescribe such a prescription.
Doctor Sun began to recite silently.
Wei Qian didn't care. He looked at it all, but he couldn't see anything. It was useless to memorize such things by rote. It depended on the disease and the person.
With the help of his back, he can at most become an average doctor, which is far from being a genius like him.
Occasionally, he would feel lonely. It is lonely at the top. There are not many doctors in the world who can match him in terms of medical skills.
"There are not many doctors who love money as much as he does."
After they left, Shen Jiao secretly talked to Xue Shun about the business doctor Wei Qian.
"He made a living by treating patients and saving lives, which wasn't a big deal. The real problem was that he particularly liked to extort money, like a black-hearted businessman. That's why he was nicknamed the Merchant Doctor. When an epidemic broke out in three counties in Jiangnan Road, and corpses were everywhere, the old leader of the Qinghe Gang sent him a letter asking for help. But he took the opportunity to demand large sums of money, and asked the people of the three counties to spend their lives. He wouldn't prescribe medicine without the money. The delays back and forth caused many deaths.
Later, there was a famous kind-hearted man from the State of Wei who fell ill. His children came to him to ask for medicine. He asked for a "remuneration" of three hundred gold coins, but he never expected that his children could not afford it. This kind-hearted man did not have much money, but all he had was used to help the poor people, build bridges and roads, set up porridge factories, and distribute medicine. In short, he had little money. By the time his children raised enough money and returned home with the prescription, the kind-hearted man had already passed away.
He was a disciple of Xuanhu Hall. Once these two incidents happened, Xuanhu Hall's reputation plummeted, and it was almost impossible for it to survive in the State of Wei. When they wanted to deal with him according to the rules, he slipped away.
Only then did they start offering a bounty on his head. Initially, the price wasn't that high, but later, for some unknown reason, the price suddenly increased to 30,000 gold.
It's not surprising. After all, Xuanhutang has always taken the mission of saving lives and healing the wounded as its purpose. They will treat patients regardless of whether they have money or not. They value human life above all else and will not give up treating their patients even if a knife is placed on their necks. However, he acted like this, caring only about money and treating human life as a joke. Naturally, he will be regarded as a great traitor.
"I see," Xue Shun asked curiously, "but he doesn't look very powerful. How did he survive until now when so many people want to kill him?"
