Painting Doctor Jinhua

On the pleasure boat, after Gao Changgong left, Xiao Jinyu formally put forward her request to Madam Wei.

"I need your intelligence here. This is my condition."

After saying that, she took out a notebook from her sleeve and handed it to Madam Wei.

"What is this?" Madam Wei asked as she opened the book. Her eyes gradually lit up. "My dear, did you write this? Your handwriting is so beautiful! Although I don't understand the characters, it's pleasing to the eye!"

The girls from your family are different. Not only are they elegant and interesting, but their handwriting is also so beautiful, and the content of their handwriting is..."

The more she looked, the more surprised Madam Wei's eyes became!

"During the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought contended with each other. Pre-Qin academic thought can be divided into twelve schools: Yin-Yang, Confucianism, Mohism, Nominalism, Legalism, Taoism, Diplomacy, Miscellaneous, Agriculture, Fiction, Military Science, and Medicine.

Madam Wei, the book I gave you is a book of miscellaneous skills. It will teach you how to integrate the strengths of various schools to do one thing well, even if it is business, which is what you are best at.

Of course, this is just one of them. If you want to learn, you can learn. If you don’t want to learn, you don’t have to force yourself.

Although your Xinghua Yanyu Tower is a place of entertainment for the rich and powerful, and there are many people who can spend a lot of money here, but you don’t have such good business every day, and there are governors like the King of Shixing who increase business taxes here. This is not a long-term solution, am I right?"

Madam Wei looked at the notebook and nodded in admiration.

"So you have to change your methods frequently, such as the rules of the game in your Xinghua Yanyu Tower. The same thing is fresh once and interesting twice, but if you play it too many times, it will become boring!"

"Yeah, that makes sense!"

"I have also written down how to do it in this notebook. As for Chen Shuling, the King of Shixing..."

She paused, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said, "I will make him pay for everything he has done!"

Madam Wei was concentrating on reading the manuscript when she suddenly heard the last sentence. She was so frightened that her hands started shaking, she sat up straight, and immediately became alert!

"Young lady, what did you just say?"

She couldn't believe her ears.

"I say, King Chen Shuling of Shixing, I will make him pay the price, he won't be able to act recklessly in Jiankang City for too long!"

Madam Wei was so frightened that she quickly stood up and covered Xiao Jinyu's mouth.

"He is the Prince of Shixing, the Governor of Yangzhou, and the most beloved son of His Majesty. It's not like there haven't been censors who have impeached him before, but His Majesty always lifted him up high and put him down lightly, and punished the people around him and the censors, and then promoted him and gave him a higher rank. Otherwise, how could he walk around in Jiankang City with such impunity!"

"Young lady, be careful not to say anything that could cause trouble. I will pretend I didn't hear you today, and don't say it again in the future!"

"This notebook you gave me is enough!"

In this era when knowledge is monopolized by the aristocracy and common people don't even have the right to read, for Wei Qi to get a notebook inherited from an aristocratic family is already a godsend!

After meeting and getting along with each other several times, she began to feel some favor for Xiao Jinyu.

Out of concern, her eyes were full of warnings, but she saw that Xiao Jinyu's eyes, like a deep pool of black jade, were still calm and there was a hint of a smile in them.

How calm you are!

"So, Chen Xu is not unaware of his wrongdoings, but just indulges him, right?"

Upon hearing the name Chen Xu, Madam Wei was so frightened that she covered Xiao Jinyu's mouth even tighter.

"How dare you call His Majesty by his name? You are truly fearless, young lady!"

Madam Wei was so frightened that she broke out in a sweat, but she saw Xiao Jinyu still smiling calmly. The phoenix beside her appeared out of nowhere, flew over and pushed Madam Wei away.

"Let go! How can my brother Qing breathe if you hold me like this?"

……

After reaching an alliance with Madam Wei, Xiao Jinyu walked out of the pleasure boat and prepared to go back. Similarly, today she also gave Xiao Xian a book, which recorded the Thirteen Strategies for Restoration. This was also the result of her discussion and research with her grandfather on the political drawbacks of Southern Liang in her previous life. There were also some biographical notes left by an ancestor of her Xie family.

As for the current Southern Chen Dynasty, she and Xiao Xian also summed up some political drawbacks and national policies that would be beneficial to the country's prosperity and the people's strength. In order to stabilize the dynasty and fill the empty treasury, destroying Buddhism was the first step.

She believed that with Chen Xu's ideals and ambitions, although he believed in the law of cause and effect and reincarnation in Buddhism, he would never condone Buddhist temples to harbor filth or even become a threat to the court!

To put it more seriously, out of ten points of the world's wealth, Buddhism already accounts for seven points. The nobles believed in Buddhism and plundered the people's wealth to build Buddhist temples in the hope of achieving bliss in the afterlife. In order to escape taxes, the common people also became monks and hid in Buddhism.

Therefore, if there are people in Buddhism who harbor rebellious intentions, the mob that will gather together will be a very large number.

Why did Chen Shuling in his previous life push dozens of his beautiful concubines into a deep well when he was defeated and knew there was no way to escape? It was because he was delusionally dreaming that he would have wealth, glory and beautiful women by his side in his next life.

This licentious, tyrannical and bloodthirsty King Shixing was actually a devout Buddhist!

Just as Xiao Jinyu, Fenghuang and Xiao Ruoling got off the pleasure boat and were walking along the Qinhuai River, a little child suddenly staggered over and fell in front of them with a plop.

"Save me, save me..."

The little boy stretched out his bloody hand to Xiao Jinyu, his eyes full of pleading. He used all his strength to utter only these four words, then he spat out a mouthful of black blood with a "wow" sound and fainted!

Xiao Jinyu immediately squatted down and checked the child's injuries. She found that the child, who was only eight or nine years old, was covered in blood, as if he had just been severely beaten with a military stick.

"Are you dying?"

Suddenly, there was a burst of teasing laughter. Xiao Jinyu looked up and saw that it was the ceremonial procession of Chen Shuling, King of Shixing, coming towards them.

The person asking the questions was Chen Shuling who walked out of the sedan chair.

A guard ran over and sniffed the child's breath, then replied:

"Your Majesty, he is still breathing, but he is almost dead!"

"That's good! He's almost dead, but not quite dead yet. This is in line with the Miracle Doctor's rule that he won't save anyone unless they are seriously injured or disabled and are doomed to die!"

Chen Shuling said, smiling sinisterly as he looked at Xiao Jinyu:

"Am I right? Young lady, I will remember your rules. This kid is only nine years old now. He is just a refugee without household registration, but he has a simple mind. He has never done anything bad or killed anyone in his life. Now he is doomed to die.

Young lady, you are a kind-hearted doctor, please save me!"

Xiao Jinyu raised her head and looked at Chen Shuling coldly.

"Did you hurt him?"

The sun had already set in the west, and the rosy glow cast a brilliant color over the Qinhuai River.

But it is far less brilliant than the ever-changing brilliance in this young lady's eyes!

But it is an extremely cold brilliance!

interesting!

"Yes! I beat him!"

As he spoke, he also walked forward, looked at Xiao Jinyu and said:

"A dirty vagrant who wanted to beg for alms but ran into my carriage. Shouldn't I teach him a lesson?"

"Why, little lady, do you want to kill me?"

As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Jinyu's angry yet forbearing expression and laughed with great joy.

"So what if I kill you?"

Fenghuang shouted loudly and tried to punch Chen Shuling. The two guards drew their swords at the same time, and Xiao Jinyu immediately pulled Fenghuang aside.

"Don't worry about him, Fenghuang, take my golden needles and pills!"

She didn't say what the pill was, but Fenghuang, who had been following Xiao Jinyu to treat people, had already reached a tacit understanding with her. She immediately took out a golden needle from a parchment scroll she carried with her, and a pill from a small porcelain bottle, and handed them to Xiao Jinyu.

Xiao Jinyu quickly fed the pill into the child's mouth and was about to give him an acupuncture when Chen Shuling unexpectedly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"Young lady, to prevent your skills from being learned by others, why don't you come to my Shixing Palace to save people."

"Let my brother Qing go!"

Fenghuang pushed his hand away, and the two guards behind Chen Shuling were about to step forward with knives.

"Get out!"

He shouted with a stern face, stood up and looked at Xiao Jinyu.

"My dear, I will not force you. I will give you two choices. First, you follow me to the Shixing Palace to rescue someone. There is another person waiting for you to rescue in my palace. She is also a child, a girl...

Second, you can save the boy right here, but I cannot guarantee that after you save him, I will not beat him to death again. "

"How is it? Isn't this rule I set good?"

"Chen Shuling!"

At this moment, Xiao Jinyu could no longer control herself and shouted loudly, staring coldly at the King of Shixing.

Chen Shuling couldn't help but grin, and he laughed very happily and proudly!

I'm angry!

This is really rare!

The setting sun shines on the river surface, making a graceful figure in white standing in the wind by the river look particularly lonely and independent.

Gradually, many people came to watch, but they were afraid of Chen Shuling's brutal intimidation and did not dare to get close.

Madam Wei was also standing on the pleasure boat and watching all this from afar. She was anxious and scared, but she didn't dare to run over to help.

Finally, after an extremely dangerous and tense confrontation, the noise and wind gradually died down, and only Xiao Jinyu's voice remained on the entire Qinhuai River.

"Okay, I'll go with you to Shixing Palace!"
