The Doctor Who Traveled Through Water Margin
Chapter 22 News about the Birthday Gift
When Lu Junyi returned home, he sent the housekeeper and a few other people to handle business matters, and then gathered the remaining servants in a yard to rest. He and Yan Qing went to the well to salvage the fish personally.
Yan Qing didn't care about anything else and planned to take off his shirt and jump into the well. Lu Junyi quickly told his wife to prepare ginger soup and clean clothes for him...
After his wife left, Yan Qing went down into the well and dived down. After a while, Yan Qing shook the rope.
After Lu Junyi pulled Yan Qing up, he saw Yan Qing holding a large black heavy object. Lu Junyi recognized it as a lead block.
Yan Qing said weakly: "Master, there is still a lot at the bottom of the well."
Lu Junyi was quite righteous. He threw away the lead and supported Yan Qing: "Xiao Yi, come in quickly."
Finally, he simply carried Yan Qing on his back and ran into the house. He took off Yan Qing's clothes and wrapped him in a quilt. Yan Qing was shivering with cold. Although it was summer, the well was really cold.
Yan Qing trembled and said, "Master, what should I do?"
Lu Junyi said angrily: "What else can we do? Kill him."
Yan Qing nodded and said, "Okay, let's seal the well in the summer and dig another well."
The two men showed signs of lead poisoning and became easily irritable, but killing a few servants was no problem for them.
But at this time, an unexpected guest came. He climbed over the wall even though the door was closed, and shouted as soon as he came in: "Xiao Yi, Mr. Lu, is anyone home?"
Lu Junyi and Yan Qing looked at each other and both knew this guy. This was Xu Guanzhong, Yan Qing's good friend.
Yan Qing shouted, "What do you want from me? Why are you climbing over the wall instead of going through the main gate?"
"Haha, I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered, so I climbed over the wall to see what was going on. By the way, why are you closing the door in broad daylight?"
Xu Guanzhong opened the door and came in. Yanqing and Lu Junyi didn't want to entertain him at this time. They said with dark faces: "Guanzhong, we don't have time to entertain you today. I will come to find you another day."
Xu Guanzhong looked at their expressions and said solemnly, "Sir, what happened? Tell me, maybe I can help, or at least give you some advice, right?"
Yan Qing knew that this guy had a high IQ and must have different opinions. It wouldn't hurt to let him listen. Besides, Yan Qing always felt that this matter was not simple.
Yan Qing thought of this and said to Lu Junyi: "Master, he is trustworthy. Xiao Yi also thinks this matter is not simple. We should listen to his opinion."
Lu Junyi nodded, and Yan Qing began to tell him the whole story, even telling him about the bet with Wang Li...
This Xu Guanzhong appeared in the original novel. He was a hermit and an old friend of Yan Qing. He was a man of both literary and military skills, and a powerful figure. Later, Yan Qing retired because of his influence.
After listening to Yan Qing, Xu Guanzhong said, "This matter is not simple, don't act rashly."
Xu Guanzhong repeated his guess, which was the same as Wang Li's. Yan Qing and Lu Junyi looked at each other and said, "Sir, what should we do now?"
Xu Guanzhong smiled and said: "This is easy. Now we can go to the Taoist temple and ask someone to perform a ritual. Then we can tell them that the house is not clean and we can move out another day.
They would not follow you just for a small-time official like you. Their goal is just the well. You just happened to buy this house and suffered an unexpected disaster."
Lu Junyi is a reckless man. In his previous life, he listened to Wu Yong's nonsense and dared to go to Liangshan alone to provoke, let alone such a thing?
He slammed the table and said, "Why should I be afraid of him? I want to see what these guys can do."
"Sir, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, how can we guard against thieves thousands of miles away?"
Xu Guanzhong knew Lu Junyi and knew that he was loyal to the Song court. It was difficult to persuade him, so he turned to Yan Qing and said, "Xiao Yi, you should accept the loss. You should go and follow that miracle doctor. I think he will help you."
Lu Junyi could tell from Xu Guanzhong's words that he was trying to persuade them to leave, but he didn't care and said to Yan Qing, "Take two thousand strings of cash for the medical fee and my wife with you. I'll leave my wife to you. Send her back when the storm subsides."
When Yan Qing heard that he had to take care of the mistress, he opened his mouth but could not say anything. He could only leave with his wife. Xu Guanzhong also said, "I will go with you to see this legendary doctor."
"it is good."
Yan Qing said with tears in his eyes: "Take care, Master!"
After the two men left with Lu Junyi's wife, Lu Junyi immediately rushed to the Daming Prefecture Liaison Office to tell Liang Zhongshu that of course Lu Junyi did not betray Wang Li. When Liang Zhongshu heard this, he was excited at first, but then solemn.
He was not stupid. He came up with an idea. He immediately sent a pigeon to tell his father-in-law about this. Then he asked Lu Junyi to arrest these people secretly and let Suo Chao load them onto the ship and take them away in the name of escorting the birthday gift.
He also tricked Lu Junyi into secretly delivering the birthday gift, but Lu Junyi was unwilling to do so, so he exchanged it with Suo Chao.
In fact, these prisoners are neither important nor unimportant, because they can be caught at any time in Beijing and their mouths can be pried open to reveal almost any information, so they all have the same credit.
Liang Zhongshu was very smart. He originally wanted Lu Junyi to escort the prisoners. After all, the journey was bound to be bloody and not a good one.
Lu Junyi went there with great fanfare, and those who wanted to rob prisoners or the birthday gift would flock to him, just in time to protect the birthday gift...

As for Wang Li, he was very happy about Yan Qing's arrival. Yan Qing told Wang Li about Lu Junyi, and Wang Li also promised to protect his family.
When Yan Qing introduced Xu Guanzhong, Wang Li showed great respect for him. Seeing Xu Guanzhong, this guy was much more attentive than when he saw Lu Junyi, calling him Mr. Xu all the time.
He told Ruan Xiaoqi to deliver the money to the boat and then chatted with Xu Guanzhong.
After seeing his paintings, Xu Guanzhong also praised them highly, but when he saw the signature, he said, "This signature really doesn't match your paintings."
Wang Li was not angry, and said with a smile: "Sir, how about I draw a picture and you give me some words?"
Xu Guanzhong waved his hands repeatedly and said, "That's not necessary. Your painting is unique only when it is accompanied by your signature."
After saying that, Xu Guanzhong changed the subject and said, "I wonder where the miracle doctor is living in seclusion?"
"How can I say I am living in seclusion? I am just a fugitive who has settled in Liangshan, Shandong. Are you interested in going to see me?"
"Well, I have nowhere to go for the time being, so I might as well take a look. I am just taking a look, mainly because I am worried about my friend."
Xu Guanzhong knew what they were doing now, which meant that if they were satisfied, they could stay, and if they were not satisfied, they could leave.
"Okay," Wang Li agreed repeatedly. Wang Li could also hear it, but he had a way to keep the other party.
“I wonder why the miracle doctor came here?”
"Haha, I'm here for the birthday gift." Wang Li knew this person and told the truth.
"The miracle doctor is not afraid of someone telling on you?"
"I trust you, sir. I'm always very good at judging people."
…………
When night fell, Ma Ling returned. Wang Li and Xu Guanzhong were chatting and laughing. When Wang Li saw Ma Ling, he asked, "Fellow Daoist Ma is back? How is it going?"
But Ma Ling saw someone there but was reluctant to speak.
Wang Li said: "Mr. Xu is one of us, so please tell us."
Ma Ling then said, "I learned that Lu Junyi has set out to escort the birthday gift by boat overnight, and Suo Chao will take a carriage by land tomorrow, but I don't know what goods he will transport.
Upon hearing this, Xu Guanzhong immediately asserted: "What Suo Chao transported must be the birthday gift!"
Wang Li also believed it without a doubt, so he decided to let Ma Ling keep a close eye on Suo Chao's movements.
