Chapter 62, Clowns
"What did you say, senior Qin Ke is dead?!"
Cui Yongfeng looked at his subordinates with astonishment and disbelief.
"Not only Senior Qin Ke, but also the leader of the Iron Wolf Gang died. When the subordinates rushed to the mouth of the Iron Wolf, all the members of the Iron Wolf Gang had run away. Young master, there is no Iron Wolf Gang now."
Cui Yongfeng suppressed the fear in his heart: "It was Bai Yueguang's hand again?"
"It wasn't Bai Yueguang, it was a swordsman. Senior Qin Ke and the rest of the Iron Wolf Gang were killed by a swordsman, all with one blow!"
Cui Yongfeng swayed and sat down on the chair.
First it was Bai Yueguang, and now there is a swordsman who can kill the ninth rank. What is the origin of Shennongtang? !
At this moment, Cui Hao walked in and looked at Cui Yongfeng with a serious face: "This is the end of the matter of Shennongtang, don't let it be too much."
This time, Cui Yongfeng lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
Now even if he is asked to find fault, he doesn’t dare anymore. Ninth-rank masters are hard to find. His father hired three ninth-rank masters to guard Cui’s family through his connections, but now he has lost one of them.
Rong City is located on the border, and it was once raided and broken by Beiyan. Here, even if his father is the commander, his body is not so safe.
Senior Qin Ke is dead, the other two seniors must have some thoughts in their hearts, and they cannot be made to leave.
Shennongtang. Forget it, just let it go!
The Li family.
The wound on Li Erya's arm was as long as a palm, and the bone was visible deep. Although Li Erya kept saying that she was fine, seeing her pale face from the pain still made Li Wuya feel depressed.
I thought that the matter of Shennongtang had been resolved, but I didn't expect the Cui family to still insist on it.
Looks like the Cui family was not taught enough lessons last time, otherwise, they wouldn't have sent someone to move Jiubian Trading Company so soon.
Also, although Cui Yongfeng was poisoned last time, he took the antidote in less than a day. Presumably, he didn't suffer much and couldn't improve his memory!
"Sister, what are you thinking, so preoccupied?"
"I'm thinking, how can I completely deter the Cui family, so that they don't dare to touch Shennongtang and Shang Laojiu again." Li Wuya's eyes flashed, "I know how to do it!"
Shennongtang will continue to open in Rongcheng, so the Cui family cannot move, but to deter them, they have to be completely afraid.
The Cui family invited three ninth-rank masters, one died, and two remained. If those two were gone, then Mr. Cui would probably be a man with his tail clamped.
"I heard that at the end of every month, the commander will go outside the city to inspect, and the two ninth-rank masters should accompany them. We have been practicing Flying Daggers for a while, and we will try the effect in a few days."
Five days later, Li Wuya and Li Qilang followed immediately when Commander Du’s carriage left the city gate.
Outside the city, in front of the Bibo Lake, accompanied by the melodious sound of piano and flute, the fish in the lake kept jumping out of the water in fear of each other.
When the carriage of Commander Du came here, he couldn't help but stop when he saw this wonderful sight.
Cui Hao just stepped out of the carriage, the soothing and melodious sound of the piano and flute suddenly changed, becoming sharp and passionate. Those who heard it seemed to be pulled into the battlefield surrounded by thousands of troops in an instant.
The two ninth-rank masters who were guarding Cui Hao instantly became alert, and loudly asked the surrounding soldiers to protect Cui Hao to leave, while quickly flying towards the direction where the sound of the piano and flute came from across the lake.
"Zheng!"
An invisible sound wave was ejected along with the fluctuation of the strings, passing through the water surface, and a blade-like ripple appeared on the water surface.
As soon as a Ninth Grade flew a few meters away from the shore, it met the ripples of the blade on the water surface in the blink of an eye.
"噗~"
The ninth-grade master was hit by the sonic skill, spewed out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, and then flew back like a sandbag.
Another ninth-rank master saw him, his face was shocked, and he hurried forward to catch him.
"Withdraw!"
Just as the two were about to leave, the passionate sound of the flute followed.
In an instant, the two of them felt their minds were shaken, and their blood was surging. While covering their ears with all their strength, they staggered away from the lake.
The sound of the piano and the flute became faster and faster, and when the two ninth-grade masters were about to lose their strength, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared.
The sound of the piano and the flute stopped abruptly!
"Walk!"
"What's the matter, sister, I'm so into it?"
"Governor Cai and Zhuang Yutang are here."
"How did they end up here?"
"You ask me who should I ask?"
When Governor Cai and Zhuang Yutang arrived at Bibo Lake, there was only a large piece of fish with white bellies left on the lake.
Cui Hao, who was overly frightened and still in shock, walked over with a pale face and was supported by someone, and when he saw Governor Cai, he quickly bowed down and thanked him: "Thanks to my lord for arriving in time, otherwise I might have to give my life here today. "
Governor Cai frowned: "What's going on?"
Cui Hao was angry and furious: "I am in charge of the Duhu Mansion, and I have offended many people on weekdays. Those people must want to kill me."
Hearing the words, Governor Cai immediately became angry: "Who is so courageous to assassinate the court officials?"
Zhuang Yutang looked at the guards brought by Cui Hao, then looked at the two ninth-rank masters, and stepped forward with a smile: "Today's matter should not be directed at you, commander of the capital."
Cui Hao looked at Zhuang Yutang very dissatisfied: "I was almost killed, isn't this against me?"
Governor Cai was also puzzled, but soon, a look of surprise appeared on his face, pointing at the two ninth-rank masters and saying: "Today's matter is aimed at the two of them."
The two ninth-rank masters were stunned, and then they realized that the sound of the piano and flute just now was indeed attacking them, but why didn't they know that they had offended someone?
Governor Cai looked at Cui Hao: "You were affected by the people under his command. The man who played the piano and flute mainly attacked the two of them."
Zhuang Yutang took over the words: "And the person who made the attack did not kill him." As he said, he smiled and looked at the two ninth-ranks who were seriously injured, "You two, don't hesitate to think about it, have you had a conflict with someone recently? Since it is not a life-and-death enmity, it is better to resolve it as soon as possible."
Hearing this, the two ninth-rank masters were shocked, and Cui Hao's complexion became even paler.
At this moment, he seemed to understand the intention of the person who shot, they were trying to force two ninth-rank masters to leave him!
In an instant, Cui Hao thought of Shennongtang.
It must be that his son encouraged the Iron Wolf gang to arrest Shang Laojiu and the people behind Shennongtang!
He thought of this, and the two ninth-rank masters naturally thought of it, their complexions suddenly darkened, and they all lowered their heads and stopped looking at Cui Hao.
Seeing this, Cui Hao felt cold.
Without the protection of a ninth-rank expert, his safety would be greatly reduced.
Shen Nong Tang. Originally, he has settled down, why are they still holding on to him? !
Cui Hao's heart surged with anger, thinking of the pills sold by Shennongtang, he immediately said to Governor Cai: "My lord, recently I found a medicine shop selling pills that are very suitable for lieutenant soldiers, but the shop owner is very difficult to talk to. .”
Since he can't get Shennong Hall, what about Governor Cai?
Governor Cai is standing behind the current emperor. He wants to see if Governor Cai takes a fancy to Shennongtang's pills, will Shennongtang dare to be an enemy of Governor Cai? !
Governor Cai was very concerned about matters related to soldiers, and immediately asked them carefully.
Cui Hao immediately talked about Shennongtang, and focused on the efficacy and convenience of the pills, which moved Governor Cai very much.
Zhuang Yutang was listening, and seeing Cui Hao's angry expression, he couldn't help but frowned, and only after he separated from Cui Hao did he say to Governor Cai:
"My lord, the Cui family and his son are domineering people, you can't believe everything they say!"
Governor Cai smiled: "I still don't know Cui Hao's thoughts, don't worry, I will send someone to make a good adjustment, even if Shennongtang's pills are really useful to the soldiers, I will not take it by force .”
Zhuang Yutang smiled: "The emperor sent an adult to the Northwest to be the Prime Minister of military affairs. It is a blessing for the people in the frontier."
Governor Cai laughed: "Okay, you can stop flattering me."
After entering Rongcheng, Governor Cai immediately sent someone to investigate Shennongtang.
When Shennongtang was opened and how it was closed down afterwards, it was clearly found out.
"This Shennongtang has some background. I heard that Cui Hao's son was poisoned the night Shennongtang was closed down."
"The two people playing the piano and flute today are probably related to Shennongtang."
Zhuang Yutang sneered and said: "The Cui family and his son fell in love with Shennongtang's pills, and wanted to take them for themselves. I didn't expect to kick the iron plate this time."
Although there is a reason for the incident, Governor Cai still has a bad impression of Shennongtang: "Hmph, fortunately, they still have some sense of propriety, and they didn't really do anything to the court officials. The court officials have misbehavior, and it is their turn to investigate and deal with it. It's not their turn." Come and punish!"
Zhuang Yutang looked at the pill in his hand, thought for a while and said, "My lord, this pill is really useful for the soldiers in the army. Would you like me to go to Shennongtang?"
Governor Cai nodded: "That's fine, you, General Dieling Pass, have given Shennongtang enough face by going there in person. If they are easy-going, then follow the rules and we won't bully them."
Zhuang Yutang nodded and went to Shennongtang that day.
As soon as ren arrived at Shennong Hall, Shang Laojiu warmly greeted him.
Zhuang Yutang looked at Shang Laojiu with a smile, and after a few words of pleasantries, he directly turned to the topic: "Is your master not here?"
Shang Laojiu shook his head: "Forgive me, General, my master likes to specialize in medical skills on weekdays, and now he is looking for medicinal materials everywhere in the mountains."
Zhuang Yutang played with a group of pills: "The pills you sell are very suitable for soldiers in the army. Your lord governor asked me to come over and ask, would you like to supply medicines for soldiers in the army?"
Shang Laojiu immediately said: "Of course I am willing, General. It is an honor for Shennongtang to provide pills for the soldiers in the army."
Zhuang Yutang did not expect Shang Laojiu to agree immediately: "Aren't you going to ask your master for instructions?"
Shang Laojiu smiled and shook his head: "No, to tell you the truth, long before the opening of Shennongtang, my master said that he would provide pills for the army officers and soldiers. Unexpectedly, the pharmacy was closed down just a few days after it opened."
"After investigating the reason, my master was also somewhat angry, and this matter was delayed."
"General, my master respects the soldiers who defend the country, and has already told me that everything needed in the army will be discounted by 50%."
This was really a surprise. Zhuang Yutang didn't expect the people behind Shennongtang to be so reasonable. When he went back to meet with Governor Cai, he repeated Shang Laojiu's words.
Governor Cai was also very surprised when he heard this.
Cui Hao was also present, his face was quite stiff.
Zhuang Yutang glanced at him, and said: "Shang Laojiu said that Shennongtang wanted to open a store and sell medicine in a peaceful manner. He said that there was some misunderstanding with the Commander of Hedu, and he wanted me to persuade him to make peace."
"It's a long time ago, I don't even remember!"
Cui Hao smiled stiffly. He did not expect Shennongtang to be so talkative. Selling medicine at a 50% discount is half-selling and half-free. If he knew that Shennongtang respected border soldiers so much, he would never let his son offend others. .
Now it’s all right. Of the three ninth-rank masters in the family, one died and the other two were forced to leave. However, Shennongtang has reached a cooperation with Governor Cai, and he has become a clown!
Seeing Cui Hao leaving with an ugly face, Zhuang Yutang sneered: "After the commander returns, he should be so regretful that his intestines will turn green."
"By the way, my lord, Shang Laojiu also told me that Shennongtang still wants to open branches in other border towns, saying that it wants more common people to see a doctor and take medicine."
"Like roundworm pills, he said that when Shennongtang is up and running, it will be given away to the people for free, so as not to grow worms in their stomachs."
Governor Cai was really surprised: "The person behind Shennongtang is so righteous. I misunderstood him before and thought he was an arrogant person who ignored the court."
Zhuang Yutang smiled: "It is estimated that the Cui family and his son have done too much."
Chiang Mansion.
Jiang Sheng entered Jiang Antai's study in a hurry with the news he found out: "Master, I have found out. Li Changsen's family is now in Rongcheng."
Jiang Antai's complexion changed, and he asked puzzledly, "Why is the whole family here? Isn't Li Changsen at Dieling Pass?"
Jiang Sheng sighed: "Master, in order to change the military household registration, Li Changsen risked his life to burn the food and grass of Beiyan's army, and this is in exchange for Governor Cai's approval."
"What?!"
Jiang Antai stood up violently: "The Beiyan army's food and grass were burned, and he also participated?"
Jiang Sheng nodded heavily: "Fortunately, Li Changsen gave birth to two good sons. He ventured deep into Beiyan's rear and rescued Li Changsen from the dead, otherwise"
Having said that, Jiang Sheng was silent for a while, and then mustered up the courage to look at Jiang Antai: "Master, Li Changsen is the third girl's biological son, should we really not tell her?"
"Now the Li family is in Rongcheng. In order to make a living, Li Changsen took his eldest son to run darts everywhere. My lord, sand bandits are running rampant at the border, and running darts is very dangerous. Last time Li Changsen was lucky, but next time."
"Master, this old slave is really afraid that he will have some troubles, and we won't be able to explain to the third girl in the future!"
Jiang Antai was also confused: "Let me think about it, let me think about it"
At this moment, Mrs. Jiang's voice sounded outside the door: "Second brother, why don't you come in? Isn't your eldest brother here?"
Hearing the sound, the complexions of Jiang Antai and Jiang Sheng changed suddenly. Jiang Sheng walked to the door quickly, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Jiang Anbang with a shocked expression.
