Chapter 517 It Wasn’t Huo Xingzhou Who Sent the Fake Goods
Huang Bingyi and a group of judges walked to the first row.
With a serious expression, he carefully inspected each long needle, even sniffing the odor on them, and even piercing his own blood vessels with the long needles to identify any abnormalities.
This focus touched countless people.
I heard that Mr. Huang was meticulous in his medical practice and even tested medicines on himself.
Because of this, he never married, for fear of ruining the girl's life.
Bang!
There was a loud bang.
A young man next to Lu Yingxue was half-sitting on the ground with his legs weak, his face pale and cold sweat on his forehead.
Huang Bingyi put down the long needle in front of him, his sharp eyes piercing. "You have evil intentions, having dipped the needle tip in medicine. This cunning and scheming person is unfit to be a Chinese medicine practitioner. Will you leave today, or should I have security kick you out?"
Lu Bannong was very tactful and said, "Zhao Zehan violated the rules and is disqualified."
The security guard asked the young man to leave and the atmosphere became more tense.
Everyone knew that reaching the top ten of the needle testing competition would bring both fame and fortune, with a guaranteed spot on the list of heroes. Plus, there was a 200,000 yuan prize, and countless people flocked to seek treatment.
The future is bright.
When there are high returns, some people will take risks and take unconventional approaches.
They want to win!
Many people in the audience turned their suspicious eyes to Qiao Xi.
She should be the one who cannot afford to lose among these people!
"This is a temporary process. Is it possible that Qiao Xi wanted to win..."
"The forum has already explained the rules of the northern and southern divisions of traditional Chinese medicine. She broke the rules, and only by winning the first prize can she be exempted from punishment. It was President Lu who added this rule because he cared about talented people."
"At first I thought adding a process was a joke, but I didn't expect Mr. Huang to have such a keen eye that he saw through their scheming."
Qiao Xi could feel many eyes on her, but she didn't think much about it.
Instead, he set his sights on the front row.
Huang Bingyi picked up Lu Yingxue's gold needles for inspection. Qiao Xi was surprised to find that Lu Yingxue's gold needles, including the needle bags on the outside which were a bit old, were exactly the same as hers.
Qiao Xi lowered her head to confirm, and it was indeed the same!
The needle bag was old but clean, with a plump ginseng embroidered on the outside.
In Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica, the first Chinese medicine introduced in the wild grass category in the fifth volume is ginseng.
But the young Qiao Xi didn't know that Mr. Huang Bingyi, the successor of the golden needle technique, loved to use ginseng as medicine, which was a legend in ancient times.
Because of the more or less conflicts between Cheng Han and Huang Bingyi, he never mentioned these little things.
But when older people see the needle bag embroidered with ginseng, they will think it belongs to Huang Bingyi.
Qiao Xi is completely confused now.
There are many guesses in my mind.
But there is one thing!
Huo Xingzhou gave her this needle bag, he would never harm her!
As for why Lu Yingxue and her golden needle were exactly the same, she didn't know!
Qiao Xi's eyes were always on the front row, wanting to see what was going on.
Huang Bingyi picked up Lu Yingxue's needle bag, and his eyes paused when they fell on the fat ginseng embroidery pattern.
Lu Yingxue was a graceful young lady, with her long hair tied into a lazy side braid, still wearing a light green long dress with tight sleeves.
She is the most beautiful among these contestants, neither gaudy nor coquettish, but pure and elegant.
She looked at Huang Bingyi with joy in her eyes.
This scene was magnified by the camera and displayed on the big screen in the venue, which was another round of amazing praise.
"You can tell Miss Lu really admires Mr. Huang. The excitement in her eyes is overflowing! It's like she's at a celebrity-chasing event!"
"I didn't expect that Miss Lu, who is usually calm and aloof, also has such a lovely side."
"Didn't you see? The golden needles Lu Yingxue used are the last set of golden needles that Mr. Huang used after he retired from the mountains. The embroidered ginseng is Huang Bingyi's symbol. This is what my grandfather told me..."
Huang Bingyi put down Lu Yingxue's needle bag and said in a deep voice, "The gold needles are fine."
The smile in Lu Yingxue's eyes grew even more intense. "You have always been a senior whom I admire. I take you as my role model, so I naturally won't resort to any unorthodox methods. Besides, you are the one who did this..."
Huang Bingyi pointed at her needle bag and said, "I've always regretted giving away my last set of gold needles. I've searched for them for over a decade but couldn't find them... They were considered my old companions."
He acted on impulse, which became the final regret in his life.
Lu Yingxue said very considerately, "After this round of competition, I am willing to return the jade intact to Zhao. A gentleman does not take away what is desirable to others, and I am no different."
The story of returning the jade intact to Zhao refers to the famous prime minister Lin Xiangru bringing the flawless Heshi Bi back to the State of Zhao.
Huang Bingyi glanced at her and said calmly, "I won't take advantage of the younger generation, but there is only one Heshi Bi."
He said that and moved to check the next contestant's needle.
Lu Yingxue stood there, unable to understand what he said for a moment.
Why is it said that there is only one He Shi Bi?
Lu Yingxue frowned, her eyes fixed on him, wanting to get a result.
until.
Huang Bingyi walked in front of Qiao Xi.
The entire camera was focused on them, and even gave a close-up to the needle bag in front of Qiao Xi. The fat ginseng with embroidered face looked very familiar.
Everyone was shocked!
They are actually the same!
Exactly the same!
Xiang Mingzhu seized the opportunity to taunt him, "Qiao Xi, the needles my cousin Lu Yingxue is using today are from Mr. Huang's last set. The needle case with the ginseng embroidery on it is Mr. Huang's signature. Where did you get this set of needles?"
"Don't tell me you admire Mr. Huang and have gone to great lengths to find his golden needle."
She spoke strongly and explained the whole process clearly.
Many complicated gazes fell on Qiao Xi.
"Could the golden needle in her hand be fake?"
"She wanted to please Mr. Huang, but ended up giving him a fake needle. Now we're in for a good show. Mr. Huang hates this kind of deceitful and flattering behavior."
"How hilarious! How can he be called a disciple of a traditional Chinese medicine doctor? Everyone in the know knows that Cheng Han and Huang Bingyi have a bad relationship, so how could he have his golden needles?"
"I'd rather believe that Lu Yingxue has the real golden needle than Qiao Xi!"
There was a lot of discussion in the venue and the situation was one-sided.
Most of them believed in Lu Yingxue's character and were instinctively dissatisfied with the fledgling Qiao Xi.
After all, Lu Yingxue has been famous in the field of traditional Chinese medicine for ten years. She has done so many good things in these ten years and her reputation has spread far and wide!
Even Sun Weimeng felt anxious when he saw it.
He grabbed Huo Xingzhou's hand and asked, "You gave this set of golden needles to Qiao Xi. Are you sure they're real? If you offend the judges before the competition even starts, can Qiao Xi still win? Only one set of golden needles is real. One of Lu Yingxue and Qiao Xi must have fake ones. Huo Xingzhou, didn't you fall into another trap?"
His handsome face flushed red and he spoke a lot of words at once.
Huo Xingzhou glanced at Zhong Yi, who was slouching in her chair in the VIP seat on the left, and said softly, "Sun Weimeng, we are not the ones who should be anxious."
The one who sent the fake goods was Zhong Shao from the capital!
Instead of him, Haicheng Huo Xingzhou!
