Chapter 998 Threat (Given the reward from the book friend "Wait for You to Grow Up")
Bai Shan saw all this and felt that the time was right, so he said to Man Bao, "The holiday will be over in two days. Should we go to the stables then?"
Manbao nodded, "Okay. By the way, let's call Yin Huo to come along. I need to check his pulse, change the medicine, and give him acupuncture."
Bai Shan said that it was no problem, "Is it okay for you not to treat him at the pharmacy?"
"What's the big deal? Just have him meet us at Jishiditang." Manbao said, "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and the flower market has been very busy recently. I want to slowly sell the flowers I have, so I'll be quite busy then. So we'd better go to the horse farm this morning to get this done, and put a sack on Zhang Jinghao in the afternoon."
"Do we still need to put him in a sack?" Bai Shan asked, "How could the three of us not be able to beat him alone? After all, he'll definitely know it was us who beat him up, so why bother hiding it?"
Manbao thought about it and nodded, "Alright, if we keep it secret, it would be bad if he reports it to the police."
Bai Erlang was sitting nearby copying a book. Hearing this, he looked up and asked, "Are we really going to fight?"
Bai Shan said angrily, "You've fought with us many times before, why are you so timid now?"
Bai Erlang slapped his pen and said, "Who am I doing this for? It's all for you. Didn't you and the master tell us to keep a low profile and not cause trouble?"
"I've asked around, and there aren't even two people at the Imperial College who know him. Even Feng Zongping doesn't know who Zhang Jinghao is. It's obvious that his family background isn't great, and his literary talent isn't great either, which is why he's so unremarkable." Bai Shan said, "Since he's just an ordinary person, if we fight him, we'll just be considered ordinary. Who would care?"
Man Bao said, "I've checked too. His father is still studying. His grandfather was a fourth-rank doctor, so he didn't have much real power. Don't worry, it's okay to beat him. We will explain the reason clearly, and he won't dare tell his family."
She said, "I heard their family education is very strict."
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang looked at her and asked, "How do you know so much?"
"I learned it from chatting with the patients," Manbao puffed out his chest and said, "You may not know, because I cured Dou Zhu'er, I have had a lot of female patients coming to see me recently. Among them are some helpers and maids from wealthy families. When I ask them, as long as I don't ask about the private matters of their masters, they are very willing to tell me about other family matters."
Bai Shan and Bai Jilang: "...It's so convenient. You can know so much just by sitting and seeing the doctor?"
Manbao nodded and said with deep feeling, "Yes, no wonder Doctor Ji repeatedly reminded me that when I go to the backyard of a deep house to see a patient, I must both open and close my ears, open one eye and close the other, and keep my mouth tightly shut. I must not ask questions that I shouldn't ask, and I must think carefully before asking questions that I should ask."
Bai Shan: "...So you knew, then why didn't you listen?"
"Oh, this is in the pharmacy, not in the backyard, there's no need to be so particular," Manbao said. "And you don't know, they love to talk about these things. They were originally full of worries when they saw the doctor, but they became happy after telling me about these things. I think their pulses are much healthier now that they don't need to take medicine."
Bai Shan and Bai Jilang: ...
Bai Shan ignored Man Bao and turned to Bai Erlang, saying, "You've always wondered how he tricked you into gambling, haven't you? This time, let's talk it over face to face."
After many days, Bai Shan finally stepped into the Imperial College again. This time he still went to the cafeteria to find Zhang Jinghao. Compared with the last time, there were many people around Zhang Jinghao this time.
Bai Shan directly invited him to go to the horse farm together tomorrow. He smiled and said, "We want to take a look at the horse you told Erlang about last time. If it's suitable, we will pay for it. By the way, in addition to that horse, my senior sister and I also want to buy one for learning purposes."
Zhang Jinghao glanced at his classmates who were surrounding him and was about to refuse, but his deskmate patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, we were just discussing taking a day off tomorrow for an autumn outing, and now it sounds like going to the racecourse would be a good idea. Oh, and I heard there are people playing polo there, and we could even watch."
"By the way, which stable are we going to?"
"Who else could it be?" someone said sarcastically, "Of course it's the East Suburbs Horse Farm that Jinghao is most familiar with."
Zhang Jinghao didn't even have the chance to interrupt, so Bai Shan set a time directly. "Then we'll meet you outside the East Suburbs Racecourse at 9:00 PM tomorrow. Mr. Zhang, please don't refuse to come, or I'll have to send someone to pick you up at your house."
Some of Zhang Jinghao's classmates listened with confused expressions. Only after Bai Shan walked away did they come to their senses. They turned their heads to look at Zhang Jinghao, who looked unhappy, and asked, "Jinghao, why does his words sound so threatening? Doesn't he have something to ask of you?"
The classmates who had been irritated by Zhang Jinghao also slowly came to their senses and squinted their eyes at him. "Jinghao, you should be going to the East Suburb Racecourse tomorrow, right?"
"Of course he will go," another person chuckled. "Jinghao is a frequent visitor to the East Suburbs Racecourse. How could he not go now that he's in good health? If he really doesn't go, Bai Shan might actually send someone to pick him up."
Zhang Jinghao's face turned pale, and he stood up and left without saying a word.
The students from Class 10 of the Imperial College not far away stared blankly, then turned their heads and looked at Bai Erlang who was eating with his head down.
Ren Ke pushed him and said, "Don't eat anymore. Your senior brother just threatened Zhang Jinghao."
Bai Erlang raised his eyelids lightly and said, "I know."
He knew it the night before, so he's not surprised at all, okay?
Ren Ke looked confused, "Why?"
Bai Erlang sighed softly, stretched out his right hand which still had some marks on it and said, "Because of this hand."
Everyone looked at his paw and asked, "But wasn't your hand hit by your teacher?"
"Yes, but why did the teacher beat me? He also punished me by making me copy two copies of the Book of Rites."
"Yes, why? You didn't tell us," Qiao Tao said, "You refused to tell us no matter how many times we asked you. And you're still not telling us now?"
Bai Erlang sighed and shook his head sadly, "Forget it, I'd better not tell you, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to resist threatening him either."
Because he thought about it carefully, although he still didn't find out how Zhang Jinghao lured him into gambling, but among the group of people who went there that day, Ren Ke and Qiao Tao all lost money, and he was the only one who had never lost once.
Bai Erlang put himself in the other person's shoes and thought that if he was lured into gambling and lost money, he would be so angry that he would beat the person to the ground.
He felt that the reason he wasn't very angry until now must be because he didn't lose a penny and even got two hundred taels for free. Yes, it must be because of this.
And he couldn't tell his classmates this reason, otherwise he would definitely be beaten up along with them.
The next update will be around 11pm
