Chapter 675 Opportunity Only Favors the Prepared
After Li San Niang said this, Manager Gao on the other side did not immediately agree, but he also did not directly refute Li San Niang's words.
Tang Mingyue glanced at Li Sanniang, then at Manager Gao, and asked him cautiously, "Manager, I'm also somewhat interested in this poison. I wonder if you could send me too?"
Li San Niang looked at Tang Mingyue with surprise. Seeing that he really didn't seem reluctant, she realized, "Yes, Doctor Tang is naturally curious. How could he not be interested in such an illness?"
Seeing that Li San Niang and Tang Ming Yue were eagerly requesting to be sent, Manager Gao could only nod first. Then he looked at Doctor Li and Doctor Cui, and seeing that the two of them had no intention of going, he said, "Let's decide on Doctor Li first. After all, Doctor Li was the first to discover this matter, so Doctor Li must have some solutions."
As for Dr. Tang, let's ask the Alliance and see what they can do.
If it's possible for you to go, I'll talk to you about it then.
Tang Mingyue bowed to Manager Gao and said, "In that case, thank you for your trouble, Manager Gao."
On the way back to the clinic, Manager Gao didn't insist that everyone return together. He looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost noon, so you can all go on your own. Just don't miss your shift at the clinic this afternoon."
Thus, the group naturally parted ways at the entrance of the Imperial Medical Bureau. Li San Niang and Qiu Xiang walked together, and just as they were about to call for a carriage, they heard Tang Ming Yue's voice behind them.
"Dr. Li, Dr. Li."
Seeing Tang Mingyue's expression, Li Sanniang understood that he wanted to learn more from her. Li Sanniang smiled and said, "Dr. Tang, if you don't mind, Zhou's mutton soup is very famous. Shall we go together?"
"Haha, no problem, no problem, I'll invite Doctor Li over."
When the three of them sat down at Zhou's Lamb Stew Restaurant, two streets away at Liu's Pancake Restaurant, Dr. Cui and Dr. Li also sat down together.
The two men, sitting face to face, didn't speak first. It was Dr. Cui who couldn't wait any longer. He put down his chopsticks and tentatively asked Dr. Li, "What do you think?"
Are we really not going to get involved in this opium scandal?
After chewing and swallowing the pancake in his mouth and taking a sip of soup, Dr. Li finally looked up at Dr. Cui, who was still waiting for his reply.
"You saw the manic state of those poisoned people in the Imperial Medical Bureau just now. Is that something someone our age could handle?"
Old Dr. Cui felt that Old Dr. Li was not being honest. He pursed his lips, with an air of "who doesn't know who," and said rather irritably, "Come on, Old Li, who doesn't know who?"
Back when they were at the Imperial Medical Bureau, Wang Shuzheng and Yao Shucheng made it clear that if they set up tents outside the main camp in the suburbs of the capital to treat these people, there would definitely be soldiers assisting them.
Even without soldiers, they're just in a state of mania. One dose of medicine, and they'll be obedient.
Tell me the truth, do you want to go or not?
It says here that if you do well, you might have a chance to get into the Imperial Medical Academy.
Doctor Li didn't even raise an eyebrow, blowing on the soup in his bowl as he listened. He said, "That was just bait. Did you really think that going there would get you into the Imperial Medical Bureau and make you a physician?"
Dr. Cui disagreed with Dr. Li's attitude. He put down his chopsticks again, looked at Dr. Li who was still calmly drinking soup, and whispered to Dr. Li with a hint of disappointment, "Don't say that."
Since the Imperial Medical Bureau dares to say that, it will definitely do so when the time comes.
Otherwise, which doctor in Chang'an would dare to risk their life to work for them in the future?
Besides, why is it impossible?
Although we are much older than Li San Niang and Tang Ming Yue, we have more experience. In the medical profession, the older you get, the more skilled you become. Why can't we compete with them?
While the two were still arguing about whether or not to fight for this opportunity, Li San Niang and Tang Mingyue had already started talking about how to treat people after they entered this drug rehabilitation center.
"If only the manager could let me go with you, I feel I could learn a lot from you, Dr. Li."
If we miss this opportunity, we don't know if we'll ever have another one.
Li San Niang smiled and accepted Tang Mingyue's praise, mainly because she could hear the seriousness and affirmation in Tang Mingyue's words, which were not just empty politeness.
"It's not about arguing about the short term. Afterwards, I will definitely work with this group of doctors to write a booklet on the subject."
Dr. Tang, this thing is really not a good thing.
Even if we react in time and stop it temporarily, there may be other people like this in the future.
We have no choice but to maintain constant vigilance, make frequent arrests, and conduct frequent searches.
Before the medical clinics in Chang'an could submit the list of people to be sent to the drug rehabilitation center to the Imperial Medical Bureau, the Jingzhao Prefecture summoned the heads of the 108 wards in Chang'an and the three outer cities.
The procedure was already well-established; however, the previous meeting was for the physicians in Chang'an, while this one was a gathering convened by the neighborhood head to inform the residents of the matter.
Most of the people in the ward were elderly men, with only a few women occasionally standing among them.
The sound of "thump thump thump" rang out, and the official from the Imperial Medical Bureau came up to the stage to tell the court officials about the opium.
Just like he had explained to the doctors that day, this time he showed everyone opium and brought out two patients who were addicted to drugs.
"This...this thing is so vicious!"
This not only harms the body, but also damages the mind!
As soon as the old neighborhood head spoke, everyone started talking at once. The two neighborhood heads, a man and a woman, from Pingkang neighborhood exchanged glances, their faces showing an expression of understanding.
"...That's right. Remember this: opium is poison. Anyone who gets involved with it will surely meet a bad end!"
Afterwards, when you return to your neighborhood, be sure to have a good talk with the residents.
If any suspicious strangers appear in the neighborhood, remember to report them to the soldiers; don't be fooled.
After the official from the Jingzhao Prefecture made his point, he allowed the ward officials to leave.
However, the two wardens of Pingkang Ward, a man and a woman, stayed behind and did not leave.
"Oh? What are Wanfangzheng and Liufangzheng doing here?"
What Wan Fangzheng and Liu Fangzheng talked about in the inner room with the official is unknown to us. In any case, a group of constables and soldiers followed the two Fangzheng to Pingkang Fang.
Inside Pingkangfang, in a private room on the second floor of a third-class restaurant, Edward, with fair skin and brown hair, was sipping tea like a Han Chinese.
