067 It's Done
Ruyi knocked on the eldest master's door in the middle of the night.
Sun Sicheng opened the door and said, "Come in."
He sat at the table outside and listened to Ruyi repeating in a low voice.
"Master, after finding the exact location, we have been guarding on his roof. The Tu guy really intends to kill us and take Master Yuanqing and Master Ping'an away."
"Master, we accidentally discovered Tu's private vault and took some of his things. Xiao Wu has already hidden them under the carriage."
Sun Sicheng lowered his eyes: "Next time, don't act rashly. What if something goes wrong? Are you sure there will be no sequelae?"
"No, the old man hid in his bedroom, and hid it very well. I guess his family would hardly know about it. His illness flared up in the middle of the night, and I'm afraid he won't be able to speak properly for the rest of his life."
"Okay, go and rest. We'll set off at daybreak."
"Yes, my Lord."
After Ruyi left, Sun Sicheng returned to his bed. In the dark night, he kept his eyes open. No one would bother him, and he rarely bothered anyone.
He has saved countless people in his life, but everyone has a weak spot, and he is very protective of his own people. Especially this time, Tu wanted to take the lives of these people for no apparent reason, which was really too much.
I didn't take his life, but just made him unable to harm others in this life. Is that not too much?
He couldn't fall asleep in the second half of the night. He thought about the troubles at Jiangnan Pharmacy, the two first aid methods, and even the surgical tools that Ping'an mentioned, as well as the suturing technique.
…
At daybreak, they left the city gate.
As for the Tu family in the east of the city, the concubine only realized that something was wrong with the master an hour ago and started shouting and screaming.
The entire Tu family was in chaos, and the guards of course could not leave. The master was so sick, would it be of any use even if they brought people back?
They don't want to do anything that is against the law, they just do it for the high monthly salary.
Soon, under the instructions of Mrs. Tu, many people were sent to different medical clinics to invite doctors, including Baicaotang and Wanshengtang.
After hearing what Sun Wen said, the shopkeeper of Baicaotang would never let out the fact that the eldest son was in the county town. Of course, at this time, the eldest son and his men should have left the city and would not have the time to waste on such a person.
The nose is crooked and the mouth is twisted. The person is in a coma and his face is blue. It is a typical cerebral stroke, and a very serious one. There are not many doctors in the whole Zhou who can treat this disease, and the eldest son is one of them.
In a county like this, the doctor from Wanshengtang was considered pretty good, but he kept shaking his head. Of course, he from Baicaotang would not show off his ability and could only pretend to diagnose the patient's pulse.
Finally, someone mentioned the eldest son of Baicaotang, saying that he might be able to cure this serious disease.
The shopkeeper of Baicaotang sighed and said that his eldest son had been traveling all year round and no one knew where he would go next.
This is also true.
Baicaotang is a large family with a lot of business, so of course the young people are busy. We can't let Dr. Sun, who is over 50 years old, do all the work, right?
A disease like stroke cannot be delayed. If the best time for treatment has passed, even if the eldest son is found, it will probably be of no use.
The Tu family was disappointed.
Although the young master of the Tu family is in his twenties, he has been raised to do nothing. How can he support the family business?
Mrs. Tu has never been able to be the master's boss and is only responsible for minor matters in the inner house. If the master falls, I'm afraid the whole family will soon fall apart.
Ping An was now memorizing the lessons taught by the teacher. Seeing the master and the teacher drinking tea leisurely, he also let go and started wagging his tail.
Not to mention, the calligraphy memorization techniques I've seen on TV dramas are also very good. While shaking, I was able to concentrate and the effect was quite good.
They crossed the Huangtu Ridge smoothly and soon reached the open official road.
A few people finally felt relieved.
As expected, the Tu family had no intention of harming anyone again.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, so we found a small forest at noon, had a quick lunch, fed the horses, and prepared to continue our journey.
Sun Sicheng planned to have a good rest for two days after arriving in Yangzhou Prefecture. There were many things waiting for them to deal with in Yangzhou Prefecture. There were a medicine shop, Baicao Hall, and Baicao Valley. The owner of Baicao Valley was Fang Ming, who was also one of the stewards he had carefully trained.
While the child was not paying attention, Sun Sicheng asked Ruyi to quietly open a mechanism in the carriage, and he couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
Is this a point?
A large stack of silver bills of various sizes, at a glance, might be worth 20,000 taels, and three small bags of gold and silver ingots might be worth 4,000 to 5,000 taels.
"While there is no one around, you should quickly separate and hide. Each of the seven of you will take fifty taels. I won't give any to the children for now. I will give them pocket money when we get to the capital."
"Alas." Ruyi grinned.
Mr. Tu had a lot of private money, which he hid secretly. The master had only told them to take a small amount and put some things for Ping An later. But as they took more and more, they took all the banknotes, a lot of gold, and even a lot of silver ingots.
Now that I think about it, Xiao Wu and I were too timid. People wanted to kill us for no apparent reason, and we only gave them such a small amount to calm them down?
But the fifty taels given by the eldest son is quite a lot.
My brother has already married Qingshi’s eldest sister, and the eldest son also said that he will find wives for his people in the next two years.
He and Jixiang had saved a lot of money, so no matter which girl was with them, they lived a comfortable life.
Unfortunately, Jixiang Ruyi and the others have no intention of thinking about this matter now, and the same goes for Dazhuang Niu.
It is normal for a man of 17 or 18 years old to get married.
Ping'an looked at Yuanqing, whose emotions had calmed down a lot, and knew that this was all thanks to Erqiang and Qingshi.
"I'll call you Ah Qing. You can study with Mr. Sun in the future. Mr. Sun is very knowledgeable. When you are stable in the future, you can move the tombs of your grandfather and parents to your side."
Yuan Qing nodded with red eyes. If it weren't for Master Ping'an, he would have asked for death.
"Master Ping'an, yesterday I asked Brother Jixiang to help me sign the contract, and he said he would wait for a few days. But I have made up my mind. I have no other relatives in this world, so I will follow Master Ping'an for the rest of my life."
"Ah Qing, think about it carefully during this period. If you don't want to sign the contract, come back in the second half of the year and I will ask the master for you. It would be best if you can follow me. If it is inconvenient, I will arrange for you to stay at the farm so that you don't have to live without a fixed place to live."
The master told him that it is best to have someone with whom you have a death bond, because he will be with you day and night, and such a person is unlikely to betray you. Even if you release their children in the future, you will still be safe and secure.
Of course there are exceptions, such as Mr. Sun and Erqiang.
Mr. Sun is now considered the manager and accountant of the master. If nothing unexpected happens, he will follow the master for his whole life.
Erqiang hasn't thought about it yet. Whether he will ask him to do secret things in the future is still unknown. It is highly likely that he won't. Even if he is his cousin, he cannot be compared with Qingshi in this respect.
Qingshi is an official slave and can only follow him in this life until his children are born. Even if the master says to release the children through indentures, these children cannot take the imperial examinations and will most likely still depend on him for a living.
"Master Ping'an, I have made up my mind. I will be like Qingshi in this life and follow you. Later, I will follow Mr. Sun to study and do accounts. I have been studying for two and a half years. I know many words and can do simple accounts."
"That's fine. There's no rush. The past can't be brought back. We should live as well as we can. Only then will our relatives feel at ease and our lives won't be in vain."
