Chapter 64 Treating the General Like Animals?
How much are you planning to give me?
"One thousand taels! How about it?"
Before Jiang Nuanzhi could even speak, Lu Zhong jumped up from his stool with a thud, knocking it over, but he didn't care.
"A thousand taels! You take on an apprentice and give him a thousand taels a month! How much do government officials earn in a year? And you've already given him a thousand taels? The world is truly going to the dogs!"
It has to be said that Lu Zhong looked at Jiang Nuanzhi with resentment in his eyes. He had no idea that being a doctor was so lucrative. He should have known better than to become a doctor instead of a military general.
"Miracle Doctor, have you ever thought about taking on more apprentices? Like me?"
The magpie doctor narrowed his eyes: "Get lost."
Lu Zhong: "Okay."
The Magpie Doctor: "."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
"Hey, girl, a thousand taels, real gold and silver." The magpie doctor tempted Jiang Nuanzhi again: "As long as you become my apprentice, you'll have it immediately, aren't you happy?"
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled broadly: "Happy!"
The magpie doctor's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands as he asked, "Then it's settled. If you become my apprentice, you'll have to follow me around every day and listen to my words."
"No, that won't work."
The Divine Physician frowned: "What won't work?"
Jiang Nuanzhi: "It's not going to work out for me to become your apprentice, old man, please don't try to persuade me anymore."
"I'm not as good as you think. You should find another apprentice. Actually, I also have a lineage to carry on my legacy; I'm a veterinarian."
As she spoke, Jiang Nuanzhi suddenly remembered the advertisement she had written earlier. It had been sitting there, but she had forgotten to hang it up.
Then, he immediately took out the piece of cloth, tied it to the stick, and stuck it directly in front of his own door.
"So, can you see it clearly now?"
The magpie doctor was stunned for a long while before asking Lu Zhong, who was standing next to him, in a trembling voice, "What was written on that tattered cloth?"
Lu Zhong squinted as he slowly read: "Ten years of experience. Veterinarian. Guaranteed medical quality."
The more the divine physician listened, the paler his face became, but Lu Zhong was completely oblivious and continued reading.
"We can provide midwifery, castration, and hoof trimming for donkeys, horses, and cattle. We can also cure vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy!"
"Hey, sister-in-law, you're good at pretty many things!"
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled modestly: "It's nothing, nothing at all."
The magpie doctor stood there stunned for a long time, then suddenly staggered: "Quick! Get me the nitroglycerin pills! Hurry!"
After a period of chaos and turmoil, Doctor Que was settled on the heated kang bed in the house and slowly woke up.
Lu Zhong, who was supporting him, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and frowned as he looked at Jiang Nuanzhi: "Wait a minute, you're a veterinarian."
He glanced at the general lying there again: "What about our general? You're not going to keep treating our general like livestock, are you?"
Li Rong, who had just regained consciousness: "."
"&*…&@#？…"
South Street Teahouse.
In a side room on the second floor, Zhao Xiuyuan casually rolled up his sleeves and lowered his eyes to brew tea. He was listening to a report from his subordinate.
"What did you say? Where is the miracle doctor?" Zhao Xiyue, who was sitting and eating snacks, suddenly stood up, not even caring that the snack plate had fallen over.
Her long, nail-painted fingers pointed directly at the person who approached, and she said in a shrill voice, "Say that again!"
"I have been following Physician Que and saw it clearly. Physician Que did indeed return home with the fat woman next to Li Rong. General Lu Zhong of Huaihua was also with them."
"Lu Zhong!" Zhao Xiyue's eyes flashed with ruthlessness: "He still hasn't given up! Even now, he still dares to ask the Divine Physician Que for treatment of Li Rong! He's really courting death!"
"Brother! Brother, how can you still be in the mood to make tea? What should we do?"
Zhao Xiyue immediately snatched the teacup from Zhao Xiuyuan's hand and threw it aside. She then tugged at Zhao Xiuyuan's sleeve with a hint of anxiety, saying, "Brother, there's no turning back for us with Li Rong."
You've witnessed his ruthless methods in the past. If we were truly given a chance to rise again, then our Zhao family…
"Moon!"
Zhao Xiuyuan frowned deeply and pressed her down into a chair: "Calm down. Look at yourself. Your condition has only just started to improve. Do you remember what Doctor Que said about keeping calm and peaceful?"
"How can I remain calm? If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred not to listen to you and just killed him to prevent future troubles."
Zhao Xiuyuan frowned and glanced at her: "Yue'er, put away the resentful look on your face, it doesn't look good."
Zhao Xiyue pursed her lips: "Brother! You're still trying to upset me at a time like this!"
Zhao Xiuyuan couldn't help but chuckle: "You, your brother is reminding you that you will be the matriarch of the Shen family in the future. You must always remember your identity and not let small things affect your mood. Also, didn't your brother tell you before that Li Rong absolutely cannot die at the hands of my Zhao family?"
"Why don't we kill him? If we give him another chance, we'll be the ones who die."
"The Divine Physician Que is right here. He won't tolerate this under his nose, so we can't act rashly. Besides, have you considered what Li Rong will use to get back on his feet?"
Zhao Xiuyuan gave a cold, smirking smile: "If the late emperor were to crawl out of his coffin, perhaps Li Rong would have a chance. But now, the Regent is in power. Have you forgotten how the Li family fell from grace?"
Zhao Xiyue was taken aback, then sat down as if suddenly realizing something, and took a sip of tea: "Brother is right, I was too anxious. However, if Doctor Que really heals his injuries, with his skill, not to mention recovery, if he really wanted to kill someone, I'm afraid that person wouldn't be able to escape."
Zhao Xiuyuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice, then said, "This is indeed a problem."
After thinking for a moment, he got up and went to his desk, wrote a letter, sealed it himself, and gave it to his subordinate: "Send this back to the capital immediately."
"We'll try to stall Doctor Que for the next two days and prevent him from going to Li Rong."
The subordinate thought for a moment and then said, "Young Master, I think the fat woman next to Li Rong seems to know some medical skills."
Zhao Xiuyuan raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"
Subordinate: "He should be a veterinarian."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiyue burst out laughing: "A veterinarian?"
Subordinate: "That's right, he seems to be quite famous in Liujiang County."
"Oh my, that's hilarious! What does she usually do?"
"When I returned, I made a special inquiry and heard that she was very skilled at castrating pigs and could also cure diseases in cats and dogs. By chance, she even saved the county magistrate's daughter."
"What, you mean castrating pigs?"
Zhao Xiyue was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "She wouldn't use such skills to treat Li Rong, would she? Oh my, that's hilarious."
For a moment, Zhao Xiuyuan also felt that it was both funny and absurd.
He shook his head with a laugh and said, "Li Rong's illness is difficult to cure. In fact, even if the divine physician Que were to come, there would probably be no chance of a complete cure. Didn't the doctor say that he would spend the rest of his life in bed?"
The subordinate nodded in agreement: "Young Master is right. However, I did not expect that a mere Lu Zhong could be persuaded to consult the Divine Physician Que. I wonder what their relationship is."
Zhao Xiuyuan nodded: "You're right, that's something I didn't expect either. It seems that Lu Zhong is quite capable."
As if suddenly remembering something, Zhao Xiuyuan handed a handful of silver notes to his subordinate and said, "Try recruiting them. If they can be of use to me, that would be wonderful."
If not.
As he spoke, a cool smile curled at the corner of his lips, and his eyes grew cold.
This side of Xinghua Village.
Lu Zhong was unaware that someone had designs on him; he was excitedly watching the renowned physician, Que, taking his general's pulse. His fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
"Can you be quiet?" Doctor Que turned around and glared at Lu Zhong.
He was so angry he wanted to grab his bag and leave, but he was still curious about how the veterinarian actually treated people. He couldn't resist and took her pulse. After taking her pulse, his expression towards Jiang Nuanzhi became increasingly strange.
"You're a veterinarian, and you've treated him like this?"
Li Rong: Does that mean you think people are stupid just because they don't get angry?
Jiang Nuanzhi: Don't be angry, okay? You're not stupid, you're just paralyzed.
