Since neither Dr. Luo nor Dr. Huang had the ability to knock people unconscious, the three of them had to outwit each other whenever it was time to give acupuncture.
That day, Doctor Huang coaxed Biaozi into eating a large pancake, and then Doctor Luo tied him up with a rope.
Fortunately, Biaozi's condition is getting better and better. Although he is afraid of acupuncture, he knows that he cannot move around.
So the people from the escort agency often saw Biaozi holding a pancake, gnawing on it while enduring the torment of being pricked with needles, which made them laugh.
Since the Tianlang Escort Agency adopted the Chen family's banner, its business in escorting goods has expanded significantly, and the agency has grown considerably as a result.
Gu Shaoqing travels around every day, relying not only on bamboo paper to make Tianlang Escort Agency famous.
Now that there's also the matter of transporting grain seeds, he often laughs at himself, saying that with just these two businesses, the Tianlang Escort Agency will never go out of business.
When he returned to the new capital, he brought Lu Qiqi a message.
"Zhu Datou and his wife and concubines are all dead."
Lu Qiqi poured him a cup of tea, and paused when she heard the news.
Then he asked, "If all the officials who plundered the people's wealth were exiled, how come they all died?"

Lu Qiqi pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.
Zhu Datou has done countless bad things, and these are all the retribution he deserves.
She suddenly remembered something, "How are Master Zhao and Zhao Zhiwei?"
Gu Shaoqing knew about these two people because Lu Qiqi specifically asked him to inquire about them.
"Master Zhao had the people of Heshun Prefecture plead for him. If it weren't for his mediation over the years, who knows how many more people would have died at the hands of Zhu Datou."
As for Zhao Zhiwei, I heard he passed the imperial examination and became a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examination). It shouldn't be long before he goes to the capital to take the final examination.
Hearing Zhao Zhiwei's good news, Lu Qiqi was happy for him, thinking that he and Rumei would be able to live a good life from now on.
Ru Mei has finally reaped the rewards of her hard work.
