238 Beast-like things
A few days later, Ping An and his companions finally arrived in Qingzhou, and after Qingzhou they went to Ganzhou, and then to Yunzhou.
The road is long and arduous. For the first time, Ping An truly felt the difficulty of traveling. Compared with his previous trip to the south of the Yangtze River, this time he felt much more comfortable. The drought in the Great Zhou Dynasty has only just begun.
There hadn't been a drop of rain for so many days, and the sun was scorching hot in early June. It was only a short time after breakfast, and the sun was still hanging in the eastern sky, but the temperature had already risen.
Sun Sicheng and Ping'an would leave the city as soon as the city gates opened every day. In the evening, Ruyi and Xiaowu would go ahead on horseback, book an inn and prepare dinner. It took them five days to get from Huaibei Prefecture to here.
Although Xie Xuewen insisted on paying for his own food and lodging along the way, he also breathed a sigh of relief and got a ride on the eldest master's carriage. Everyone in the group were experts in Kung Fu, so they didn't have to worry about anything during the journey. He could even shamelessly communicate with the eldest master and his disciples occasionally.
In just a few days, he was even more impressed by Xiao Ping'an. How could a child who was only twelve years old in just two months be so capable?
He started studying medicine at the age of seven, and now he is twenty-five, but he may not be as knowledgeable as this child.
Ruyi met the eldest son at the city gate.
"Young Master, let's book the Qingzhou Inn near Baicaotang, but there's a disturbance in the medical hall right now."
Sun Sicheng's face darkened: "Making trouble? Who?"
Ruyi said, "It's not a disturbance. The old master of the Bao family in Qingzhou has some health problems. Manager He has already said that they can't cure it, but Master Bao and his people just won't leave. When there are too many people, they make a lot of noise. It has been going on for some time."
"Let's go directly to the inn. We can talk about anything later."
"Yes, my Lord."
The old man of the Bao family? He was a beast. If Bao Wangfa didn't know what was good for him, then we couldn't blame him for being so ruthless.
Ping'an saw that the master looked unhappy and did not ask any questions. He thought that either the patient was from a family with a bad reputation and was difficult to deal with, or the patient's illness was too serious and the doctor in the clinic would not dare to accept the case.
"Ping An, I asked you to apply facial cream on the way because I didn't want to cause any trouble. The second son of the Bao family in Qingzhou has a successful career and is now the Minister of Personnel. His Yue family is also an earl. This person is pretty good, but his father, Old Master Bao, is terrible. He loves to harm married women or teenagers of seven or eight years old."
Ping An was shocked: "The laws of the Great Zhou are quite strict, how come no one is in charge? Normally, the assistant minister is only a sixth-rank official, and the earl is nothing among the titles."
Sun Sicheng sighed, "The bad thing is that he specifically bullies those who dare not go against him. Many of these people were bought by his family, or they can be dealt with by spending money. In addition to having a son who is an official, he also has an older son who is very good at making money. I heard that his grandson is also very good at making money."
What he didn't say was that in the case of Awu and the others, the Dali Temple traced the suspect, Lu Dongjia, to be Bao Wangfa's son Bao Chengyang. Bao Chengyang's mother's surname was Lu, and this son did not do formal business like his father, but was a slippery person and rarely left any traces behind when doing things.
After he heard about this from Zhang Jinping, he specially asked Shunfeng and Shunshui to investigate for a long time. As a result, they could only find out that Bao Chengyang did appear in Huainan Prefecture during that period of time, but they found nothing else. It just so happened that the culprit was caught, or the scapegoat, but there was reason and evidence, and everything matched up.
The case was settled.
…
The sun had already set. After Sun Sicheng and his party checked into the inn, they immediately washed up and prepared to eat. Wanli had already gone to the medical clinic to inquire about the specific details. Presumably, Manager He already knew that they were coming.
Others may be afraid of the Bao family, but he is not. Most of the time, they just don't want to cause trouble and think less is better. However, if he is really bullied, he will not hesitate.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished washing up, people from the Bao family came to the inn.
Wanli arrived at his room ahead of time and told him everything.
It turned out that the old man of the Bao family had raped a newly bought maid in Huo's house in the middle of the day, and wanted to rape a maid in Huo's house at the same time. In his excitement, he applied unspeakable medicine externally and internally. The maid was still young, and the woman refused. The scene was so intense that he even broke his own thing.
The screams attracted the housekeeper and servants. Master Bao happened to be at home, so he quickly brought his father to Baicaotang.
When the doctor in Baicaotang asked, he hurriedly evaded the question, saying that the doctor in the medical hall did not have the ability to do so. In desperation, the Bao family took the old man to Tonghetang. Tonghetang directly rejected the question by saying that their own doctor with good medical skills was out and no one could take the job. Besides, the doctor was indeed not lying.
The Bao family hurriedly dragged the screaming old man to Baicaotang again and forcibly carried him into the hall. Manager He argued with him, but Master Bao kept begging for mercy. He was ready to take over the simple handling and let the Bao family find a way to send him to another place, preferably the capital.
But the old man was unwilling to do so. He insisted that Manager He find someone to cure him, otherwise he would do something else. The matter had already spread in the city. It had spread in such a short time, so it must have been done by someone with ulterior motives.
Ping An, who had just finished washing up, pricked up his ears and hid behind the bathroom door to listen to this. He also shook his head. Since the grandchildren of the Bao family are already able to do business, this old man must be at least over 60 years old. It is really disrespectful and unruly.
He had undergone several such operations in his previous life to fracture his reproductive organs.
Minor injuries can be treated conservatively with massage, physical therapy, and hot compresses. The most important thing is to prevent infection. If inflammation does occur, it should be treated with medication.
For slightly more serious cases, surgery is required, during which certain parts can be sutured together to restore their integrity.
This operation is not difficult, but it is not easy to cure. It requires excellent medical skills, and the patient needs to rest well for more than half a year after the operation.
This is nothing in modern times, but in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is basically impossible.
Such an old man will bring harm to others even if he is not cured.
He deliberately made a noise, and Ming Wanli immediately changed the subject: "Master, Qingzhou City is not big, maybe..."
Before he finished speaking, Ruyi came over and said, "Master, Master Bao is downstairs and asks you to go to the infirmary and help him."
Ming Wanli asked, "Young Master, are you going to treat someone like this?"
Sun Sicheng raised his lips and said, "Let's wait and see. I want to stay in Qingzhou for two days this time."
Ming Wanli knew in his heart that it might be because of the incident two years ago. The Dali Temple initially had clues pointing to Bao Chengyang, but he was quickly cleared of suspicion. Even Master Zhang, who assisted in solving the case, said that the suspicion was wrong.
Only he, Mr. Sun, Fang Xiao, Shunfeng and Shunshui knew about this matter. No one else knew about it.
Two years had passed since the incident, and only he knew that his master was still feeling upset. Now the Bao family had come to him on their own, and this old man was not a good person, so even if Bao Chengyang had nothing to do with the incident, he was prepared to make things difficult for the Bao family.
