"Thank you, Young Master Sun. If it really works, I will take care of the personnel arrangements myself."
After saying that, Xu Zhen turned to Ruan Meng with a respectful expression, "I understand what you have to say, young lady. Please rest assured, as long as there is a possibility that the lady will recover, I will restrain myself. You don't need to worry."
Ruan Meng took out her needle pouch and slowly began to apply the needles.
Xu Zhen also retreated outside the door. He heard soft, intermittent moans coming from inside, which then grew louder and became heavy breathing...
Xu Zhen's eyes were red-rimmed, which moved those around him.
After consulting with Sun Chengen, A Yuan arranged for meals and lodging in the courtyard.
Half an hour later, Ruan Meng came out of the house, and Xu Zhen rushed in. People outside could hear Xu Zhen's joyful voice.
Xu Zhen strode out and bowed deeply to Ruan Meng.
"Doctor, miracle healer, please accept my bow!"
Ruan Meng returned the greeting, and the second brother stepped forward to help Xu Zhen up.
Xu Zhen exclaimed excitedly, "Young lady, you're amazing! I saw Madam's fingers move!"
Ruan Meng smiled and nodded, "If all goes well, the changes should be even greater in the next three days."
Xu Zhen wiped his eyes, "I'm sorry for making you all laugh!"
The second brother respectfully replied a few words, and Ruan Meng returned to the arranged bedroom to rest. The second brother, the third brother, and Sun Chengen were summoned to the main hall by Xu Zhen to learn about their affairs.
“I understand what you’re saying. Here’s what we’ll do: you arrange for someone familiar with the situation to go and see what they have to say.”
Xu Zhen said, "If the situation is true, and the other party is targeting these three companies specifically, I will handle it!"
The second and third children are very grateful.
They understood that serving as a prisoner of exile was a rule stipulated by the imperial court.
The local practice of accepting money as payment was flexible, and no one questioned it, so everyone lived in peace.
However, if mine officials strictly enforce the rules, the supervising official cannot be too harsh, but they can still intervene and make exceptions.
Xu Zhenneng acted so quickly because he recognized Ruan Meng's abilities; the more he acted, the more dedicated Ruan Meng would be to his treatment.
The officials stationed at the mine changed their attitude upon the arrival of Xu Zhen's men.
Not wanting to give a perfunctory answer, he pulled her aside and subtly revealed the truth.
When his subordinates returned and reported, Xu Zhen had his second and third brothers and Sun Chengen listen in.
The subordinates reported that the officials stationed at the mine truthfully said that they had heard that these three families, especially the Ruan family, were capable, but they just wanted to give them a warning.
With the eldest brother absent, the second brother is acting very much like an older brother.
He explained truthfully that the seafood business with the He family was initiated by his sister, and their current plan is to work with the Sun family to help the villagers get rich...
It was all thanks to her younger sister. Even the construction of the house and the clinics in the city and village were all done by her. They were just her assistants.
The second brother appealed to his emotions, explained his elder brother's physical condition, and reasoned with him. He argued that if the other party wanted to punish him, the Ruan family was currently planning to lead the villagers to prosperity and exploit them to the bone, which would only make them enemies of the people.
Furthermore, the credit doesn't belong to them; it all belongs to their sister. Using them as a tool to pressure her is practically blackmail.
Xu Zhen listened and, though he didn't express his opinion, he nodded. Based on what his subordinates had learned, he was disgusted by the mine officials' shameless bluntness.
"Here's what I'm going to do: go and tell me about the situation in the third quarter. I need to know the details in advance. Have the mine officials come to the other side and report to me."
"The four stationed officials, who always bully the commander, stay here. The other three, tell them to come quickly."
The subordinate was surprised. "But, sir, weren't you on the shore?"
Xu Zhen gave a cold laugh, "Do you think they would mistreat themselves like Young Master Sun, working non-stop?"
"By combining water and land routes, they'll take at least three or four days to arrive."
His subordinates bowed, and Xu Zhen's voice was calm yet authoritative:
"The atmosphere on this southern island really needs a serious overhaul!"
