Chapter 298: Shocked



"What's the matter?" Zhao Hao was just about to explain some ideas for improving the steel pouring method when he saw Xiwa running in in a panic.

"Uncle, it's bad, something big has happened." Xiwa's face was pale, and she whispered in his ear.

Everyone saw that Mr. Zhao, who was usually calm and composed, actually changed his expression when he heard this.

"Grandpa, we have to go back quickly." Zhao Hao was in a state of confusion, and he ordered everyone, "I will not attend your celebration party. Follow my advice and make improvements. I will come back to see you next month."

"Yes." Everyone realized that something unusual had happened again and they all felt distressed.

Gao Wu quickly drove the carriage over. Zhao Hao helped his grandfather get on the carriage first. Before the door was closed, he stuck his head out and explained to everyone:

"Lin Zhongcheng is seriously injured and is hospitalized in Jiangnan Hospital. I must rush back."

"Don't worry, sir. We are here for you." Gao Tiejiang felt much more at ease.

The grandparents and grandchildren left Chenjiawu in a horse-drawn carriage and headed straight for Dasheng Bay. Without even saying hello to Hua Bozheng, they boarded the Science and hoisted the sails to Kunshan.

On the deck of the Science, the grandparents stood side by side, holding the railing, both looking a little grim.

Although it was unclear what exactly happened to Lin Run due to the suddenness of the incident, the fact that a high-ranking official and the world's number one governor was burned in the fire was enough to cause a major earthquake.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Zhao Liben looked at his grandson's face and felt that he was a little confused because of his concern.

"Yes." Zhao Hao looked at the rolling river and whispered, "Central Minister Lin handed over a secret decree to my grandson, as well as a silver seal."

"Oh, really? You didn't tell me about such a big thing?" Zhao Liben couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What does he and His Majesty want you to do? To deal with the Xu family?"

"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded and sighed, "He went to Songjiang this time to fight a decisive battle with the Xu family. He also said some unlucky words before leaving."

"Oh," Zhao Liben raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you suspect someone is murdering him?"

After saying this, he shook his head decisively and said, "How is it possible? Are they crazy? To murder a governor is tantamount to rebellion! Lord Xu has been cautious all his life, it is impossible for him to do such a thing as confiscating the property and exterminating the entire family!"

"I hope it was an accident..." Zhao Hao thought about it all the way, but couldn't think of any reason why the Xu family would do such a thing.

The return journey was smooth and we arrived at the hospital pier at noon.

The dock was filled with various official ships, and officials and soldiers were guarding the hospital and the dock.

Seeing the strict security with a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps, Zhao Hao felt so angry that his teeth itched. What had he done before? With so many people watching, the governor could be burned and seriously injured!

The Ming Dynasty was full of laziness, idleness, and slackness in its civil and military affairs.

No wonder Minister Wang, a young man, was able to sneak into the Qianqing Palace and meet Emperor Wanli by simply changing into eunuch's clothes.

Zhang Cha is just a gangster who can assassinate the prince with just a stick!

Xiong Dianshi, who was helping to maintain order at the dock, explained to the people from the governor's office that this was the county's boat, and only then was he allowed to dock and disembark.

Zhao Liben would not get off the boat. Firstly, he was still living in his hometown and it would be awkward for him to show up. Secondly, he had sworn that he would never set foot on Kunshan's land until Zhao Shouzheng bowed to him.

Before Zhao Hao got off the boat, he called his grandson and whispered, "My dear grandson, this matter is bound to become a big deal, and will involve all kinds of gods. As the saying goes, 'When faced with a big event, stay calm', don't let your emotions get the better of you."

"Grandpa, I understand." Zhao Hao nodded heavily and said, "I will discuss this with you if there is anything."

"Okay, grandpa will wait for you on the boat." Zhao Liben nodded slightly.

As soon as Zhao Hao got off the boat, Xiong Dianshi came to meet him and reported in a deep voice: "Sir, people from the governor's office are here, and people from the prefect's office are here too."

"Who should I contact to understand the situation?" Zhao Hao asked in a deep voice as he quickly walked towards the hospital.

"Shanghai County Magistrate Zhang Qi asked you several times." Xiong Dianshi replied hurriedly.

"Where is he now?" Zhao Hao asked.

"He's guarding outside the ward." said Xiong Dianshi.

"Yeah." Zhao Hao nodded and walked into the heavily guarded hospital.

All patients are unable to see the doctor today...

At this time, Lin Run had finished his treatment and was sent to a single room.

Outside the ward, Cai Guoxi and Niu Chenshi were sitting on a bench and talking in low voices.

Zhang Xi and Zhao Shouzheng were standing aside, also chatting about something, and it seemed that Zhao Shouzheng was comforting Zhang Xi.

The other officials of the governor's office also looked pale and sighed in panic.

Seeing Zhao Hao coming in, Zhao Shouzheng hurried over and whispered, "Son, you're here."

Cai Guoxi also stood up, took two quick steps, held Zhao Hao's hand and sighed, "Alas, how could this happen?"

Niu Chenshi and the others had also seen how much Lin Zhongcheng valued Zhao Hao and had even invited him to dinner. So they all stood up as well, as if their main support had arrived.

"Let me see Zhongcheng first." Zhao Hao didn't bother to greet everyone. He went into the sterile room outside the ward to change his clothes, then pushed open the door and entered the ward.

In the ward, Li Shizhen, who was also fully armed, was giving Lin Run an acupuncture injection. When he heard someone coming in, he was about to yell at him to get out, but when he saw it was Zhao Hao, he kept silent.

When he turned around, Zhao Hao finally saw Lin Run. The handsome and incomparable Lin was covered with yellow ointment.

No hair, no eyebrows, just like a dead tree trunk...

Zhao Hao was so shocked by Lin Run's appearance that he was speechless for a long time.

He could not connect the man lying on the bed with Lin Run, and could not help but mutter, "Did he get the wrong person?"

"It was even scarier when it was first brought in, all black and red. Now that I've applied the burn ointment handed down from Li Lunming's ancestors, it's only one color left." Li Shizhen felt nothing at all. While inserting the needle steadily, he said calmly, "Actually, burns are not a big deal. They will heal in a few months. At most, they'll be a little uglier..."

As he spoke, he sighed and said, "The trouble is the tobacco he inhaled. If it enters the lungs, it can be forced out with Bazhen Decoction, Glauber's Salt Decoction and acupuncture. But if it enters the brain, it's difficult..."

Whether it was treating schistosomiasis, detoxifying mercury poisoning, or even Mrs. Hai Rui's illness, this national master remained calm and cured all the diseases.

This was the first time Zhao Hao heard Li Shizhen say it was difficult.

But he knew that it was not Li Shizhen's fault, because the so-called smoke poison entering the brain was actually severe carbon monoxide poisoning.

With the medical level of four hundred years later, most patients would still fall into a deep coma, with various reflexes disappearing one after another, and the mortality rate was very high.

Naturally, Zhao Hao was equally helpless and could only hope that the three miracle doctors would work a miracle.
