416 I'm in a bad mood
Ping'an looked and saw that the city gate was indeed not far away.
The carriage was getting closer and closer. Moss could even be seen on the ancient city walls in the sunset. The gray stone bricks were full of traces of time, and the mottled city gates seemed to be telling everyone about the past.
At this moment, he felt extremely solemn. These border walls were different from the inland city gates. They were much higher and stronger.
When the carriage passed through the city gate, the guards on both sides only checked it briefly and let it go without collecting any entrance fee. This is the good thing about the Great Zhou Dynasty. No matter which province you go to, you will never see any entrance fee.
The convoy stopped soon.
Sun Sicheng got out of the car and said, "Fu An, I'll have someone take you to Ying's house. Even though there's still some sunshine, it will soon get dark."
Fu An nodded obediently. In front of the eldest master, he never dared to say no, without any reason.
"Xiao Wu, Ruyi, you two can take them there. He Jin, let's find an inn to stay in first."
"Yes, young master, let's stay in East Street for one night."
Baicaotang is on South Street. He doesn't know whether Wanli and the others have resolved the problem. It is better not to alert the enemy easily. He will go to Wanli tonight to find out the situation.
Sun Sicheng nodded.
Naturally, the Chen family father and son followed closely behind. They had never been to Minzhou before. They heard that business at the seaside was not difficult to do, but there were also many difficulties at the seaside, especially when there was no backing.
Of course, they are not without backers now, the eldest son is their backer.
He Jin found a large inn that could accommodate more than 50 people.
After settling his master, He Jin braved the dark and took Xiao Wu, Lin Feng and Da Zhuang out of the inn. He had to go to Baicaotang and then to Sun Mansion. The eldest master had a large house with three entrances here, and he wanted to see if Wanli had moved in.
If you live openly, it proves that nothing is wrong, otherwise it is hard to say.
They first arrived at Baicaotang, but the door of the medical hall was already closed. The Sun Mansion was not far away, so He Jin and his men quickly arrived at the door of the house.
"He Jin, it's you. You're finally here." Wan Hua was overjoyed. They had been guessing that their master would come over these past few days.
"Where's Wanli?"
"Ming Ge went to wash up. We just finished eating. You didn't have dinner yet? What about the eldest master and the others?"
"The eldest son and his men have moved into an inn in the east of the city. I don't know how you are doing here. Let me come and look for you."
"Come in quickly." Wanhua opened the gate himself. A couple lived here all year round. The man guarded the gate and swept the floor, while the woman did other housework.
A quarter of an hour later, Wanli simply recounted what happened.
"If I had come a month later, they would have probably run away. I heard that they are already selling the house. All the money they embezzled from the eldest son in the past few years has been recovered, and all the money they took from the old shopkeeper has also been recovered. However, the situation of the Li family father and son is not very good.
The old shopkeeper was poisoned. This poison is a strange one from the southwest, and the poisoner has no antidote. Although the amount of poison is not much, the time is long enough, and it is difficult to cure it.
Li Chengwang was weak to begin with, and was frightened and abused. He was already dying when he was rescued. I sent him to Huichuntang. His life was saved, but he could die at any time. If he died, the old shopkeeper would not be able to survive. However, now that the eldest son is here, they should be saved.
Wan Hua is already in charge of Baicaotang. One of the old doctors who had resigned has returned, and the remaining two said they would wait until the eldest son comes before returning. They are a little scared. "
He Jin stood up and said, "I will go back and tell the eldest master now."
Wanli said, "I will go back with you. We will take the eldest master and his family home tomorrow. We have already made all the arrangements at home."
If we squeeze in, twenty or thirty people can be accommodated here.
Sun Sicheng was lying on the bed, watching Ping An wipe his hair. This little disciple was too clean. He wanted to wash his hair every day. He was also a clean person, but compared with Ping An, he was still a little behind.
"Master, you should thin my hair a little more tomorrow. Xiao Wu and Lin Feng's skills are still not good enough."
Sun Sicheng raised his lips and said, "So the master is here to cut your hair? Others do have their hair thinned, but only once every few years. Unlike you, you want to shave off all your hair."
Ping An smiled at the master: "Master, you really understand me. Tell me, if men cut their hair short to distinguish it from the long hair of women, would it be more manly?"
He really missed the short hair he had in his previous life. He could wash it twice a day, which was extremely convenient.
"Bang, bang, bang, sir, it's me, Wanli."
Ping An hurriedly opened the door: "Uncle Ming, Uncle He."
Wanli smiled and said, "Master Ping'an, are you tired from the journey?"
"Fortunately, the master is in the inner room." As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Sicheng walked out from the inner room.
"My Lord."
"Wanli, you two sit down, what's the situation here?"
Wanli recounted in detail everything that happened when he entered Minzhou.
Sun Sicheng closed his eyes. No one in his life had ever dared to treat him like this. He had neglected this remote state too much.
"Wanli, you will accompany me to the government office tomorrow morning. He Jin, you will take people to bring the old shopkeeper and his son back to Baicaotang tomorrow. Ping An and I will treat them personally. Remember to pay the medical bills for Huichuntang."
"Yes, my Lord."
"You guys go down and rest."
"Yes, Master." The two had followed the Master for more than 20 years, so how could they not know that their master was upset? They had seized his property for nearly three years, and this had never happened before.
Wanli felt a little sad. It would be helpless to report this matter to the government. He, Wanhua and Dazhuang were the only ones with good kung fu, while the other three were of little use.
Besides, it’s not just about capturing Li Sheng and his son. There are still many things to do afterwards, and nothing is more appropriate than reporting to the police.
But if this happened, the news would get out. The eldest son had taken over Baicaotang for so many years, and there had never been any incident of being bullied or occupied by anyone. It just so happened that in the past few years they had gone to the border, then to Yingtian, and then returned to the capital. They were so busy that they had not even had time to send anyone to Minzhou.
Just like that, someone took advantage of me.
"Master, are you angry? Uncle Ming had no choice but to mobilize the government. I think this is the best way. It's such a remote place, and you took people to the northern border to practice medicine. This is known to everyone in the Great Zhou. It's nothing to let someone take advantage of you. The master will not let the father and son go."
Sun Sicheng forced a smile and felt a little better.
He would never tell Ping An that he had never been bullied like this before. Being a proud and arrogant person, he would not feel good for a while.
"I'm going to the government office tomorrow, will you come with me?"
Ping An shook his head, "I won't go. Let's go with Uncle He to pick up the patient. Master, you'd better find out what poison he gave the old shopkeeper. It doesn't matter if there is no antidote, but we have to find out the poison so that we can find a way to detoxify him. It's been too long, three years, I'm afraid it will be difficult to detoxify him."
Sun Sicheng sighed, "Of course I know this. Li Chengwang's health is easier to recover, but Manager Li is old and has been through so much. It is difficult for him to bear it. If the poison has already penetrated into his lungs, we can't save him even if we want to.
Li Sheng and his son are vicious, and he himself is also responsible. He is so old, but he trusts people so easily. What's wrong with brothers? They haven't seen each other for many years, but when they meet, they don't show any mercy. Some disasters can be said to be self-inflicted. Ping An, you must pay attention to this problem in the future. "
