Chapter 225: The Hearts of the People Are Revealed (Part II)

At this time, it was already three o'clock in the evening, the city gates were closed and the city was full of curfew, and the street guards were patrolling in all directions. Although ordinary people are not allowed to travel at will, if there is an urgent official document delivery or seeking medical treatment, it is not subject to curfew, so Zhang Yue's carriage went smoothly, and it didn't take long to find a place. Like other shops, the door panel had already been removed here, and an attendant had dismounted and patted the door for a long time before someone inside drank impatiently.

"It's so late, I have to see a doctor tomorrow as soon as possible!"

Zhang Yue already felt that this Doctor Feng was misbehaving and was a bad person, and when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows. The doctor's parents, this is already a strange enough rule, not to mention that people came to the door so late, it was clearly an emergency illness, and this person still said such things! Thinking of this, he instructed the attendant who had returned: "Go and knock on the door, and say that our patient cannot be delayed, and if he can be cured, thank him heavily for the consultation, and then tell him that we are here!" ”

The attendant stepped forward and said it in the same way, and finally a scolding voice sounded inside. In a short time, the door panel was moved, and a head with messy hair poked out. Zhang Yue, who opened the curtain of the car, took a closer look at the torch in the guard's hand, and immediately recognized that it was Dr. Feng.

"If you want to see a doctor, you must know my rules, the consultation fee is always money, if there is a difficult disease, it may be ten times and a hundred times, all in all, I am happy!"

Hearing this tone, Zhang Yue in the car suddenly couldn't help but feel annoyed, and asked coldly: "What if it can't be cured?" ”

"Can't be cured? Hahaha, if you know that I can't be cured, why do you come to me for something? Even if it's a disease that no one else can cure, you can always prolong your life for a few days in my hands, if you don't believe it, get out, Lao Tzu is just going to sleep! ”

"Brother Yue. Let me give it a try! Meng Min, who had been silent, keenly noticed that Zhang Yue seemed to be unable to hold back his anger, and hurriedly whispered, "I'll take my mother to get out of the car to have a look, you are waiting for me in the car." ”

Because of the encounter with bringing Amber to seek medical treatment last time, Zhang Yue knew that he was afraid that the other party would turn his face when he got out of the car, so he invited Hu Qi to give a few orders. Seeing that several guards brought the circle chairs tied to the horses, they carefully carried Mrs. Wu, who was still unconscious, out of the carriage and covered the bedding, Zhang Yue let Meng Min and Red Sleeves get out of the car. But he still asked again uneasily.

Seven or eight people poured in from the small medical hall at once, and it suddenly seemed a little crowded. I don't know if it was to save money or if there was no money at all, but there was only a dim oil lamp in the middle of the room. Meng Minzai looked at the strange doctor carefully, and saw that the other party was wearing a high headscarf in his gray hair, a big brown cotton jacket on his body, and even smelled the smell of wine on his face, she suddenly felt that the already slim hope was less than three points.

At this moment, she suddenly noticed that Dr. Feng was walking quickly to a water tank in the corner of the room. picked up a scoop and scooped a scoop of water, but lowered his head and poured it directly on his head. Seeing this scene, she suddenly felt a deep fear of this strange doctor, and unconsciously took a few steps back.

Doctor Feng didn't pay attention to the dumbfounded expressions of the people in the room, one scoop after another. After pouring three scoops of water one after another, he casually picked up a soft towel next to him and wiped his wet head and face, and then straightened his waist. Seeing that a group of people were staring at him with strange eyes, he snorted coldly.

"I didn't know that someone would come knocking on my door at night. If you don't use cold water to wake up with wine, how to diagnose the pulse? ”

After he finished speaking, he walked straight forward, bent down to look at Mrs. Wu on the circle chair, stretched out two fingers and put them on the vein of his right wrist, and carefully examined it for a long time before straightening his waist, and said expressionlessly: "I am terminally ill, and there is no cure." ”

At this moment, don't say that the red sleeves are pale. Even Na Hu Qi felt that this doctor was extremely hateful. He waved back, and was about to order the other three to carry the circle chair out, but unexpectedly, Meng Min suddenly stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Doctor Feng, since you said that there is no cure, not that there is no cure, and you have mentioned that there is a way to prolong your life before, please think of a way." ”

Doctor Feng took a closer look at the girl in front of him and saw that she was wearing a rose and purple silk jacket. The outer hood is covered with a half-sleeved cloak with a glorious pattern of stone blue. Wearing a golden hairpin with green water and auspicious clouds, at first glance, he is not from an ordinary family. He laughed and said, "I didn't expect to be able to hear what I said, but I am a smart girl." There is no cure for it, but there is indeed a way to save and prolong life. If I do nothing, your mother is afraid that she will never wake up again, and she will definitely go west within three or five days. If you want to delay for a while, then the price is six hundred taels of silver. ”

Six hundred taels!

As soon as he heard this price, Red Sleeves couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and rushed up in three or two steps and grabbed Meng Min: "Miss, don't be confused, don't listen to this charlatan lion lion open his mouth!" The third young master and the fourth young master entered Beijing and almost emptied the money in the entire account room, and the rest was used to dismiss people, our family has no money, where to find six hundred taels for him? Miss, the slave said a damn word, that is, the wife is awake now, and she must also stop you! ”

"Shut up!" Meng Min interrupted Red Sleeves' words, with a struggling expression on his face, and then muttered to himself, "Mother is only thinking about her father now, if she leaves so uneasily, how can I be worthy of my father, and the third and fourth brothers who are not here?" Six hundred taels ...... Even if you sell all your clothes......"

Hearing such a conversation between the master and servant, Dr. Feng still had that mean expression, and it wasn't until he saw another person coming in outside that he changed color. It was rare for him to be patronized by this medical hall, and he remembered almost all the people who had been there. He recognized the young man who came in when he was arguing with Shi Quan that night, and remembered that Shi Quan, who had always been reserved and proud, agreed to this person for diagnosis and treatment without saying a word. After staring at that face for a while, he laughed.

"Didn't this boy recognize the great doctor from the Tai Hospital? How can you bring people to my little place? ”

Zhang Yue knew that his appearance must be bad, but he was really angry by the old guy's lion opening his mouth just now. He strode in front of Meng Min, and didn't look at Doctor Feng, but said to Meng Min: "It's all the girl from Qiuchen who is making trouble, and you also asked Doctor Shi to show your mother before, her illness has been around for a long time, and she can only recuperate slowly." This time it should be just the right seizure, let's go back to other doctors and try to give it a try, it's better than letting others blackmail here. ”

"Boy, who do you say is blackmailing?" That Doctor Feng's face turned red all of a sudden, and there were even faint bruises on his forehead, "Could it be that Shi Quan has no means to cure her, and there is no one in the world who can cure her?" Little girl, you listen to me, six hundred taels of silver, as long as I follow my method, I will guarantee that your mother can live for at least another year, if there is one day less, my head will be cut off and you will be kicked as a ball! ”

One year!

Meng Min suddenly felt hopeful, as long as there is one year, maybe his father will be released, maybe the Meng family will have a chance to turn around, and maybe his mother's illness can miraculously improve after that year. Remembering that Mrs. Wu said that there was still a sum of silver in Beijing, after all, there were still two uncles and aunts in Beijing who could ask for help, and she grabbed a life-saving straw and hurriedly said: "As long as I can really have a year's work, I am willing to give the six hundred taels of silver, but whether this money can be graced for a few days, I ......."

"Little girl, do you think that your mother's illness may be forgiven?" Doctor Feng interrupted Meng Min's words expressionlessly, immediately glanced at Zhang Yue, and said gloomily, "Since this prince can invite Imperial Doctor Shi, it is expected that six hundred taels of silver will be fine." Why, if you want to please a beautiful woman like a flower and jade, you won't even give out six hundred taels of silver? I'm going to say that the money must be ready tonight, or I'll be out of date!" ”

Zhang Yue stared at the doctor in front of him, and he really couldn't believe that this person who wanted money was actually Senior Brother Shi Quandi. Taking a deep breath, he calmed down, stepped forward and asked again: "Six hundred taels of silver, a year of life, if you don't succeed, you will die, is this true?" ”

"Naturally, take it seriously." Doctor Feng was arrogant, where was the appearance of the bad old man just now, "Although this disease is tricky and difficult to treat, what is so difficult about prolonging life for only one year!" Shi Quan's helpless disease, I can cure it! ”

Zhang Yue took out Liu Zhong's five hundred taels of silver land credentials from his waist, and took out the two gold bracelets that Du Wansai gave him, and put them heavily on the table of the Eight Immortals in front of him, and then untied the money bag from his waist. Turned his head and glanced at Meng Min. Seeing that she silently took off the jade bracelet and the golden hairpin collar earrings in her hand and handed them over, he took them and threw them on the table, and immediately gritted his teeth and said:

"These five hundred taels are vouchers that can be redeemed directly from the gold and silver shop, and the rest are worth at least one hundred taels. If you do, then write down the note, if you don't, I can also ask people to go back and withdraw the silver! But there is one thing, you have to follow us back, otherwise who knows if you will take the money and fly away in the future! ”

Doctor Feng didn't seem to hear Zhang Yue's cynicism, so he stretched out his hand and picked up the gold bracelet and flicked it gently, then threw it on the table as if he were abandoned, and laughed maniacally. After a while, he said to himself: "Senior Brother Shi, didn't you say that no one will believe me from now on?" I'll show you what I'm capable of! ”

After saying this, he didn't pay attention to Zhang Yue and the others at all, turned around and walked into the room quickly, and came out with a medical box in a short time. Shaking off a piece of furoshiki that he was holding in his other hand, he rolled up the ticket and gold and silver jewelry with three strokes and five by two, and looked up at the few people in front of him.

"Again, if this lady ......," he pointed to Mrs. Wu on the circle chair, and said categorically, "If there is any mistake within a year, I will self-immolate and apologize!" ”

Zhang Yue couldn't help but jump at this time - although this means that he will not be responsible after a year, he really dares to say this swearing!
