Sui and Tang Dynasties: Awakening the Supreme Skills at the Beginning

Cui Mansion.

Cui Hu looked at his second son lying on the bed, his body wrapped tightly in bandages like a mummy.

He clenched his fists tightly and his teeth were grinding.

"Li Zhen, it's this Li Zhen again. The old grudges haven't been settled yet, and new ones have been added!"

At this time, footsteps were heard and the butler walked in.

"master?"

Butler Cui bowed and stood aside.

"Then did Cui Da say anything? Why did they rebel?"

Cui Hu's eyes were grim and he spoke coldly.

"No, they just said that their minds were blank at the time and it was completely subconscious."

"Maybe……"

The steward hesitated to speak.

"It's okay to say it, you and I don't have to mind it!"

Cui Hu waved his hand.

"Perhaps the weirdness lies with that fool."

"You said he has wizard skills?"

Cui Hu's eyes suddenly widened and he asked in surprise.

"Exactly!"

"This is the only reasonable explanation!"

Cui Hu was speechless for a long while.

After a long time, he took out a letter and handed it to the housekeeper.

"Tell Mr. Cui to take my letter and go to Ziwu Valley to ask Nangong Junxia for help. The natural enemy of wizards is warriors. Nangong Junxia's martial arts skills are unfathomable, so he should be able to deal with this wizard Li Zhen."

"Yes!"

Butler Cui bowed to Cui Hu and walked out.

Li's Winery.

Li Zhen arrived at the door of the winery, looked up at the plaque on the door, nodded with satisfaction, and then walked into the winery.

Many people who saw him along the way bowed to Li Zhen and called him "Boss."

Li Zhen nodded and said "hmm", and everyone went about their own business.

In the supervisor's office, Li Mantun walked back and forth anxiously, looking worried.

"Second uncle." Li Zhen walked in.

"Zhen'er is here? Come and sit down."

Li Mantun pulled Li Zhen over and sat down.

Looking at Li Mantun's anxious look, Li Zhen became suspicious.

"Why are you so panicked, Uncle?"

"Zhen'er, there is something I don't know what to do."

Li Mantun rubbed his hands together anxiously.

"What's the matter?"

Li Zhen's face was calm.

“We can’t buy food!”

"I spent the whole morning walking around all the major grain stores in the West Market, but none of them would sell us a single grain..."

"There must be something hidden in this. Uncle, bring a few people with you so I can go take a look myself?"

Li Zhen said calmly.

"That's all it can do."

Although he was not optimistic about him, Li Mantun still had a glimmer of hope for Li Zhen.

"Someone is coming."

Li Zhen shouted softly.

"boss?"

Wang Qingshan stepped forward and stood beside Li Zhen with his hands hanging down.

"Call a few men, hitch up the carriage, and follow me to buy food."

"Yes!"

When the two carriages with several people arrived in front of a large grain store in the West Market, they heard crying.

Li Zhen lifted the car curtain and took a look.

In front of Liu's grain shop, a big man was kneeling in front of the gate holding a child, and there was a woman next to him.

The big man was dressed in simple clothes, had rough skin, cloudy eyes, a foul odor all over his body, and a face full of numbness and misery.

bang bang bang...

The big man held the child, his body bent like a shrimp, and kept kowtowing: "Master Liu, please have mercy on me and lend me ten strings of cash. My son has had a high fever for three days, and the doctor said that if he is not treated, I will have to collect his body!"

The woman next to him also kowtowed, tears streaming down her face, with a look of pleading on her face.

The people passing by looked at the three people, their eyes filled with sympathy and helplessness.

There are too many people who are sick but have no money to treat their illnesses!

The two servants immediately pushed the people aside, "Get lost! The master said that we don't have a single penny left, so go back to where you came from!"

"Master Liu, please be kind. I have been growing crops for the Liu family for the past ten years. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. And I would like to borrow ten strings of cash. Please have mercy and save my son's life. I will work like a slave for your family for the rest of my life!"

The man got up again, held onto the door and begged.

"If you dare to yell again and anger the master, I will break your legs!"

The two guys said harshly without any trouble.

"Master Liu, please be kind! I have no other choice. We have borrowed money from everyone in the village and only managed to collect less than 200 coins. This money is not even enough for the consultation fee, let alone the medicine. There is no other way. I can only beg you. Considering that I have been growing crops for the Liu family for ten years, please lend me ten taels of silver so that my son can go for treatment."

"I beg you!"

As he spoke, the man kowtowed against the door "bang bang bang" repeatedly, until his forehead turned red.

"Damn it, do you think our master is a living Buddha? Not to mention your son is dead, even if your whole family died, the master wouldn't even look at it!"

The guy cursed.

"My son, I am useless. I cannot save you. In your next life, please don't be born into a poor family! My son!"

The man and the woman burst into tears.

The man was desperate. He stood up, holding the child in his arms, and walked towards the street, dragging his legs like a zombie.

The woman also stood up, tears streaming down her face, a look of despair.

At this time, Li Zhen walked over, stood beside the man, stretched out a hand and placed it on the child's hot forehead.

"You...what are you going to do?"

The man saw Li Zhen dressed in fancy clothes and followed closely by his followers, and asked anxiously.

The woman also came forward and looked at Li Zhen with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

"You have a high fever?"

He took out his handkerchief, wet it with water from the water bag, and placed it on the child's forehead.

"We need to cool him down, or someone will die!"

The man and the woman were stunned.

Generally speaking, when a gentleman in fine clothes sees these peasants, he wouldn't even have time to hide away, so how could he take the initiative to care about them?

"Take the child to see a doctor!"

Amid the two men's astonished looks, Li Zhen took out ten taels of silver and put them in the man's hand.

Thump, thump, thump!

bang bang bang...

The two of them knelt down together, kowtowed until the ground was covered with dust, and tears streamed down their cheeks.

"Zhang Da would like to thank you for saving my life, Master. You have a kind heart, and good deeds will surely be rewarded in the future. Let's go and see the child first, and when we get home, we will set up a longevity tablet for you and worship you every day!"

The two of them got up, turned around and ran as fast as they could, tears streaming down their faces.

"What a pity the hearts of parents in the world!"

Looking at the backs of the three people, Li Zhen sighed.

Li Zhen turned around and came to the door of the grain shop. The two men who had originally looked ferocious immediately smiled apologetically and said, "Please come in, sir. What would you like to buy?"

They naturally saw the scene outside the gate and were shocked. This young man actually gave money to help that peasant. That man might not be able to pay back the ten taels of silver even if he farmed for his entire life. This young man suffered a great loss!

However, they were still somewhat moved. As people from the same lower class, everyone had a time when they were in trouble. Who wouldn't want to meet a noble person to help them at that time?

The ferocious look just now was naturally the master's order, and they dared not disobey, otherwise they would have no chance of continuing.

Li Zhen stepped forward and said, "We are from the Li Family Winery. We came to your place today to buy some corn. Could you please greet your shopkeeper?"

"Li's Winery?"

The two assistants were stunned for a moment, then turned and ran into the store.

But after a while, the man ran out again, with an unnatural look on his face, "Everyone, my shopkeeper said that we can't sell the grain from Li's Winery. Young Master, you should look for another grain shop!"

"Oh, bye!"

Li Zhen turned around and was about to leave.

After seeing the situation, he found it was consistent with what his second uncle said. He had known this for a long time and was naturally mentally prepared.

"Son!"

The guy shouted again, but stopped talking.

Li Zhen handed over two taels of loose silver.

"Thank you, sir!"

The man's eyes lit up and he quickly took it and bowed.

He whispered to Li Zhen, "Young Master, you don't have to ask around. No grain store in the entire West Market dares to sell you grain."

"Why?"

Li Zhen was puzzled.

"Yesterday, someone from the Cui family of Qinghe came to inform all the grain shops that if the Li family's wine shop came to buy grain, no matter how high the price was, they could not sell you a single grain. Otherwise, you would be going against the Cui family of Qinghe, and no one would dare to sell you grain!"

After saying this quickly, the waiter ran in.

The group was furious!
