Chapter 948 Old Friend
Bai Shan thought for a moment and said, "We are not familiar with Li Zhong and the others, so let Liu Gui find out about this matter."
After saying this, he called Liu Gui in and gave him instructions.
Mr. Zhuang, who was being helped to sit on a chair, finally found his chance to speak. "No need."
Everyone looked at Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's either coming at you or me. There's no need to investigate."
Manbao was worried, "Sir, are your enemies very powerful? If you don't investigate, what if you get killed when you go out in the future?"
Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "Who said he was my enemy? He is just an old friend."
Even Bai Erlang knew, "How could someone follow someone they've met instead of acknowledging their past? Sir, just tell us what your grudge is against him. I'm very strong."
Manbao and Baishan also nodded.
Anyway, they already have an enemy who is a prince. That person can't be more powerful than the prince, right?
Mr. Zhuang didn't tell them, but stood up by holding the table. Bai Dalang hurried forward to support him.
Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly, then waved to the three children, saying, "Alright, I'll take care of this. Go and rest first. You have exams and going out today, aren't you tired?"
He said, "I'll give you a day off tomorrow. Go and have fun. You'll start school the day after tomorrow when your grades come out. Manbao, you can't go to the pharmacy every day. You'll have to discuss with Jishitang later to set a day for your day off. When Baishan and the others have their day off, I'll take you around the capital."
I don't know if it was because he had been drinking or because he had run into an old friend today, but Mr. Zhuang seemed to be talking a lot. He muttered, "Although I have been away from the capital for many years, I still remember many places. I will take you to see them when the time comes..."
Manbao and his two fellow apprentices exchanged a glance, agreed obediently, then stepped forward to support him, and together with Bai Dalang, helped Mr. Zhuang back to the room. The four of them soaked Mr. Zhuang's feet, wiped his face briefly, took off his outer clothes and tucked him into the quilt, and lowered the mosquito net and other items.
The four of them left the room.
Manbao said with certainty: "That must not be an old friend."
"Even if he is an old acquaintance, he is an unfriendly old acquaintance." Bai Shan recalled the pause of the gentleman. Since the gentleman recognized the person at that time but did not even say hello, it was obvious that their relationship was not good.
Bai Erlang asked, "How could there be people in this world who have a bad relationship with you, sir?"
In his memory, Mr. was very popular and respected wherever he went. How could there be someone in this world who didn't like Mr.?
"I think you should first tell me why you suspect that the King of Yizhou's men are following you." Bai Dalang stared at the three people and asked.
Manbao turned around and said to Bai Shan, "Do you think that Mr. Chen is your enemy?"
Bai Shan also looked at her and said, "It's very likely."
The two men quickened their pace as they spoke, Bai Erlang following closely behind. They brought him into the conversation, "What do you think, should we send someone to find out his identity?"
Bai Erlang nodded and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. If he's not a high-ranking official, we'll help you get your revenge."
Bai Dalang saw that they were walking faster and faster, and soon they were ahead of Lao. He was speechless for a long time.
Once they were out of Bai Dalang's sight, the three of them dispersed and hid in their respective rooms.
Bai Dalang shook his head and turned to go to the front yard to find Gao Song.
If they don't tell him, won't he ask the servants?
Bai Dalang is different from Bai Erlang after all. Firstly, he is the eldest son of the Bai family. Secondly, he is older, so when he asked, Gao Song told him everything he knew.
Of course, he didn't know much, only a little, but that was enough. "My family seems to have a grudge against the King of Yizhou. Before going to the capital, the master only asked me to watch over the second young master and prevent him from getting into trouble outside. Everything else is up to Mr. Zhuang."
Bai Dalang was stunned. "How could a family like us have a grudge against the King of Yizhou? What could we possibly have against him?"
Gao Song shook his head. How could a servant like him know?
He thought for a moment and said, "I don't know much, but it seems that Daji and Liu Gui know a lot. Why don't you ask them?"
Liu Gui is not his servant, so how could he have the nerve to ask?
Bai Dalang frowned and kept this in mind. That night, he came over with a pillow and wanted to have a candlelight chat with Bai Erlang, showing their deep brotherly love.
Unfortunately, Bai Erlang refused to speak, fearing that he would accidentally say too much or dream about it at night. He even sneaked into Bai Shan's room, squeezed onto the bed and said, "My eldest brother is in my room now. I haven't told him anything, but I'm not sure if he asks me again."
Bai Shan yawned and gave him half of the bed. "But you are not allowed to kick people, or I will ask Daji to throw you out."
Seeing that his stupid brother was so determined, Bai Dalang sighed and stopped asking about the matter.
Liu Gui finally went to check on Mr. Chen secretly. Man Bao had just returned from Jishidiang when he saw Bai Shan and Bai Erlang standing in the shadow of the second gate and talking to Liu Gui.
She immediately stepped forward carrying the backpack.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were listening attentively when they heard footsteps and were startled. They turned around and saw that it was her and then relaxed. "Why are you back so early today?"
Man Bao said, "There aren't many patients today. I've already made an agreement with Manager Zheng that I'll take two days off every ten days. If there's an emergency that requires my services, you can call me at home. What were you talking about just now? Why are you being so mysterious?"
Bai Erlang lowered his voice and said, "Liu Gui found that Mr. Chen."
Manbao looked at Liu Gui and asked, "What's his name?"
Liu Gui bowed and repeated, "Miss Man, his name is Chen Fulin, a doctor from the Ministry of Revenue. Yesterday, he went to Zhuangyuanlou for a drink with Mr. Shang from the Ministry of Personnel."
Liu Gui paused and continued, "I've heard that Doctor Chen is also from Jiannan Dao and Yizhou. His family is now in the capital, and his eldest grandson has been admitted to the Four Gates Academy through the Enyin Program."
Every fifth-rank official has a place in the Four-Gate Academy through imperial favor.
Bai Shan asked, "Have you inquired about him and Mr.?"
"I have secretly asked the servants in his house, but they have never heard of Mr. Zhuang's name."
So I couldn't find out anything.
Apart from some basic information about Chen Fulin, they found out nothing.
Manbao looked around and asked, "Where's the master?"
"The master is writing in the study," Bai Shan said. "We have a day off today and don't have classes, but he has been practicing calligraphy since this morning. I went to grind some ink for him. His handwriting is too blunt and a little worse than yesterday. It's obvious that he is not calm."
Bai Erlang sighed, "This is a great vengeance."
