How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 43 Please, whatever you do, don't let him go on killing and arson.

The little dog was also very happy after hearing this. "What about that Zheng Zhong man?"

"Confiscate their property, impose two years of corvée labor, and forbid them from working as middlemen in the future."

The little dog laughed even harder. "Come on, let's go into town and have some good food, it's on me."

"Alright, so you're someone with businesses. Besides, the Han family was also punished. The previous two owners and that person who used ghosts and spirits to perform their deeds were also punished. This time, besides you, the Emperor also made a small fortune. Did you already guess this would happen, which is why you had me disguise myself as a woman?"

"I had you dress as a woman because it's best for us if you dress as a woman. Not because of this. I'm not sure how this will turn out. Because we can't control how things go. You understand what I mean?"

"I understand. It means you only have the ability to start, but not the ability to make things go the way you want."

"Yes. The Emperor must care a lot about his reputation, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to find us."

Old Dong smiled. "Rather than looking for us, he's using this incident to tell the world that he's a good emperor."

"Don't be prejudiced against him. My older cousin's matter may have nothing to do with him."

"Got it. Do you want to make money with that shop?"

"Not for now." Her priority right now is to resolve her older cousin's issue. "But we need to change the signboard."

The Emperor has already stood up for her, so she can't laugh at him anymore. "What should we change it to? Hmm... let's change it to peace. I hope for peace throughout the land, the Emperor hopes for peace throughout the land, and the people hope for peace throughout the land. Yes, let's change it to peace."

When Qian Laifu saw Xiaogou Sheng and Dong Laoqi return, he asked curiously, "What are they looking at?"

The little dog chuckled and said, "They're looking at the three-coin thing. It's posted on the city wall..."

Qian Laifu laughed after hearing this. "That middleman is too wicked."

Doctor Chang wasn't interested in any of this. "Are you done? If you're done, then leave."

Little Dog Sheng: "I'm done talking. Grandpa Chang, I'll treat you to roast chicken."

"I'm not old enough to eat roast chicken."

"What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."

"I want to eat Xu Ji's steamed buns."

"Okay, what else would you like to eat?"

"That's all. I can't eat too much at my age. Brother Wang, you're not young either, you should start taking care of your health too."

Brother Wang doesn't want to focus on health; he wants to eat roast chicken. "Yes, yes, I should start focusing on health too; I'll eat steamed buns too."

Finally, all four of them went to eat steamed buns.

After finishing their meal, Xiao Gou Sheng asked Dong Laoqi to take them to a slightly nicer inn. Firstly, Doctor Chang was also staying there. Secondly, they had earned quite a bit of money recently through hunting and gathering herbs. Now that they had a way to make money, they naturally wanted to treat themselves better.

After settling in, the little dog Shengxian took a nice bath and then pounced on the bed. "Grandpa, I'm going to take a nap. I need to go change the signboard tonight."

"Go to sleep. Grandpa will fan you." The weather is getting hotter and hotter.

"it is good."

After a while, the puppy Sheng fell asleep.

Qian Laifu tenderly stroked his granddaughter's head. His granddaughter used to be so fair-skinned; now she's as dark as charcoal. He wondered if she could ever regain her fair complexion.
Little Black Charcoal wasn't worried at all. First, she was still young. Second, if Doctor Chang could make Old Man Dong menstruate, surely he could make her go back to normal? Going back to normal was much easier than getting a man to menstruate.

Doctor Chang: You should cover it up yourself. Children shouldn't take too much medicine.

On the other side, Dong Laoqi was also resting. He was going out that night with a small bundle on his back, so he needed to be well-rested.

On the other side, Doctor Chang quickly washed up and went out.

The servants guarding the gate of the Duke of Jin's mansion were chatting when an old man walked over. The old man was somewhat unkempt.

The old man looked at the gatekeeper and said, "My surname is Chang. I'm looking for your Duke. Is your Duke here?"

Those who come to guard the gate are all shrewd individuals. The leader quickly thought to himself which capable people had the surname Chang. Then, combining this with the newcomer's demeanor... soon, the leader guessed who the newcomer was.
The leading man came down the steps and bowed to Doctor Chang. "Greetings, sir. You're from Fuyun County, aren't you?"

"Hmm. Is your Duke here?"

He wasn't there, but he couldn't say that. His matriarch was frantically looking for him; if he said his Duke wasn't here and the man turned and left, wouldn't she eat him alive? "Yes, yes, please come in, please come in."

As the man led Doctor Chang inside, he gestured to the others. All men of the Duke of Jin's household, including servants, were required to serve for three years at the Duke's garrison after reaching adulthood. Therefore, the men of the Duke of Jin's household were accustomed to operating under military regulations.

As soon as Doctor Chang went in, the others started to move.

Some went to find the Duke of Jin.

Some went to inform the old lady.

Some went to find the Duke of Jin's third brother.

The Duke of Jin often went to the frontier, and his second brother was bedridden. The affairs of the Duke of Jin's mansion were all managed by his third brother.

The first three sons of the Duke of Jin's mansion were all born of the principal wife, while the sons born of concubines were the ones born after.

While Master Jiang was having tea with a friend, a servant suddenly rushed in. "Master Jiang, come back to the manor quickly, the old lady has urgent business." He dared not publicize the matter of Doctor Chang, so he could only use the old lady's name to invite Master Jiang back.

Seeing the servant's rudeness, Master Jiang knew the matter was urgent. He said, "Let's meet again sometime," and hurriedly left.

Before his friend could react, Master Jiang had vanished.

Friend: "..." No wonder he comes from a military family, he's really agile.

On the other side, the old lady wanted to entertain Doctor Chang, but was also afraid that Doctor Chang would turn around and leave if he didn't recognize the Duke of Jin. "Have Jiang Yong take Doctor Chang on a longer tour. Why hasn't the Duke returned yet?"

Seeing that the old lady was sweating with anxiety, the Duchess quickly said, "Mother, don't worry. Jiang Yong is quite clever and will definitely be able to stall until the Duke or the Third Master returns. Mother, Doctor Chang must have something to discuss with the Duke since he came to visit. He probably won't leave until he sees the Duke."

The third wife also chimed in, "Yes, Mother, don't worry."

The second wife looked outside and said, "Yes, if something bad happens to you in your anxiety, the second master will also feel guilty."

The old lady knew her daughters-in-law were right, but she just couldn't help herself.

Fortunately, a servant came shortly afterward to say that the Third Master had returned.

The old lady felt a little relieved.

As a result, Doctor Chang said, "You're no use coming here; this matter needs to be decided by your eldest brother," and then ignored Third Master Jiang.

However, Doctor Chang wouldn't just turn around and leave.

The old lady patted her chest. Thank goodness, her eldest son was still somewhat useful.

More than half an hour later, the Duke of Jin returned.

The Duke of Jin saw his mother waiting for him at the door from afar. The Duke of Jin had a headache. He hoped that Physician Chang would absolutely not let him go off to commit murder and arson.

Judging from his mother's attitude, if he didn't go, she would definitely beat him with a big stick.

The old lady was about to speak when the Duke of Jin returned, but he darted past her. "Mother, let's talk later. I need to see Physician Chang first; he's been waiting for a long time."

The old lady: "..." Are you afraid that Doctor Chang will get impatient? Are you afraid that I'll force you? "Close the door! No one is allowed to leave without my permission. Especially the Duke."

After the servants closed the gate, the old lady moved a chair and sat down by the door. She knew she couldn't keep her eldest son out, but she had to make her stance clear.

On the other side, Doctor Chang didn't waste any words with the Duke of Jin after seeing him return. "I have a few friends who have offended people. If you help them resolve their issues, I will treat your second brother. However, I cannot guarantee a cure. I am a doctor, not a god."

The Duke of Jin breathed a sigh of relief. He wouldn't be chased and beaten by his mother anymore. "Alright. Where are your friends? I'll go see them with you now."

As for who those people offended?

As long as it's not the emperor, it's fine.
