Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

Twenty years ago, the eldest daughter of Zhu, the owner of the Zhu family in Yuncheng, married a poor scholar from the countryside. This marriage caused quite a stir at the time, after all, the eldest daughter of the Zhu family was only 28 years old, while the scholar was already over 30 years old.

However, Manager Zhu valued the scholar's talent and potential, believing that he would achieve something in the future.

After marriage, the couple respected each other and their life was ordinary but warm.

The scholar studied hard, but he failed the exams time and time again.

Shopkeeper Zhu didn't want to waste his son-in-law's talent, so he recommended him to his employer, the "Zhang family".

The master of the Zhang family recommended him to work in the Marquis' Mansion.

This scholar was very ambitious. He established himself in Yuncheng in just a few years. Because he managed both the business outside the mansion and the affairs inside the mansion well, he was regarded as the trusted steward by the Marquis.

However, the invasion of the Rong tribe caused the Zhu manager and his wife to die on the way to escape, leaving behind their son who was only ten years old at the time.

After the restoration of Yunzhou, the child followed the restoration team back to Yuncheng, and the scholar also accepted the child. The eldest daughter of the Zhu family took over her father's business and opened Zhu's business in Yuncheng.

Life seems to be moving towards a better future...

Zhu Banshan's consciousness at this time was already in a semi-soul state. "Yes, everything is fine, everything is fine."

He had forgotten the taste of the poisoned wine; it was just a dream.

I dreamed of some past events, which flashed before my eyes like a kaleidoscope.

His sister must be so sad to die like this, and his niece has lost her uncle who can vent her anger.

But only if he dies will they be safe.

A sudden warmth came over my chest.

The sky and the earth changed color, and it felt like I had arrived in a fairyland.

I saw a thin young man in front of me, waving at Zhu Banshan, and Zhu Banshan walked over uncontrollably.

He couldn't see the man's face clearly, even though the young man was very close to him, but the aura he exuded in his every move was like that of an immortal.

"Do you still want to live?" asked the immortal-like young man.

Zhu Banshan opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

"Drink this if you want to live, drink it in big gulps and don't stop until you finish it." After saying that, the immortal handrail produced a bowl filled with immortal dew.

Zhu Banshan was about to take it, but then hesitated and slowly retracted his hand.

What's the point of surviving?

Expose the brother-in-law’s family?

forget it.

Zhu Banshan put his hand behind his head and scratched it.

At this time, the immortal spoke again, "You only have this one chance. Do you want to drink it or not?"

Zhu Banshan lowered his head. He really didn't know whether he was afraid of death or afraid of living.

I didn't dare to refuse, nor did I dare to drink it.

Seeing him so hesitant, the immortal shook his head helplessly.

A very vague picture appeared in Zhu Banshan's consciousness. This was probably the last picture, because he really decided to give up.

This scene shows him seeing his sister. His sister, who was pregnant, pulled him into her arms. She didn't cry loudly, but her eyes were filled with tears.

A new round of revolving lanterns began, and his heart was crushed again.

"Let's go home and I'll make you some mung bean cake!"

"This will be your home from now on."

"With uncle here, Hongdou is no longer afraid of being bullied."

"Don't gamble with the money I give you. Save it to get married."

"This young master promises you that you can be forgiven of all your crimes and will also give you a generous reward."

Finally, there is Zhang Jingwei’s handsome face that is sincere and expectant.

Zhu Banshan snatched the immortal dew from the immortal's hand, still muttering, "No... I... I want to... live. Bet! I want to take a gamble!"

"Goooooooooo."

After taking a few big gulps, he still hadn't finished the drink. He remembered what the immortal said: he was not allowed to stop until he had finished the drink.

He tilted his head high and kept drinking, until he couldn't drink any more and spit it out in one gulp.

……

Look around.

I returned to the cell, but my stomach was bloated and painful, and I felt extremely uncomfortable.

Facing the resurrected Zhu Banshan, Lu Hui first asked, "Does this count as being alive?"

Zhu Banshan was filled with confusion and shock. He didn't understand how he could be brought back to life. Could it be that the immortal in his dream just now really existed?

He looked around and found that everyone in the cell was looking at him with surprise.

Zhang Jingwei stepped forward and asked, "Are you feeling better? How are you feeling?"

"I... vomit-!"

He had just said one word when he started vomiting violently.

Mu Tou looked at the muddy water he had dug and drank half a bucket of it. Then he looked at Zhu Banshan who was vomiting water and couldn't help feeling nauseous.

The coroner pushed Zhu Banshan's back and helped him induce vomiting.

Lu Hui also felt nauseous. He took out a white handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose with it, saying, "Let's send him to the hospital first. We'll talk tomorrow if there's anything else. Captain Yang will be in charge of him personally this time. No one except me will be allowed to meet him or interrogate him."

Everyone stared at Zhang Jingwei in surprise and didn't say anything for a long time.

Zhang Jingwei felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment and said to everyone with a smile: "This is the power of science. Read more books."

Two yamen runners lifted Zhu Banshan onto a horse-drawn carriage and took him to the clinic. Captain Yang and several constables followed closely.

……

It was night time, inside the Yunzhou Flower Tower.

"What! Impossible!" Wang Huang slammed the table and shouted angrily.

The hostess and maids nearby were so frightened that they quickly got up and left.

A timid yamen runner, not even changing out of his official uniform, ran to tell Wang Huang the news: "It's absolutely true. I dare not speak nonsense."

Wang Huang asked, "Where is he now?"

"He was sent to the infirmary before noon. Today, everyone in the six chambers was detained by the governor for a lecture, and I managed to sneak out."

Wang Huang paced back and forth, as if suddenly realizing something. He clapped his hands and said, "It's a trick, absolutely a trick. This little brat wants to trick me. There's no way, humph!"

Afterwards, he ordered his servants to call Wang Heng over to discuss the matter, and sure enough, the two of them reached a consensus.

"It's not easy to come back to life. Zhang Jingwei was born rich and has taken a lot of magical medicine since he was a child. He is lucky to be alive." Wang Heng waved his hand and smiled.

Wang Huang said, "Let's get down to business. Have you found a new delivery person?"

Wang Heng nodded and said, "The three brothers of the Chang family are from Shuozhou and have no roots in Yunzhou. They have done things for me before. They are bold and careful, and they value money over their lives."

Wang Huang ordered: "The higher-ups are pressing us hard. Once the storm has passed, we must ship the goods immediately."

Wang Heng agreed, then suddenly thought of something and turned back to say, "Yes, I'll arrange it right away... Oh, the Marquis will be back soon. My young lady received a letter from home today, and I estimate it will arrive in three days."

Wang Huang was ecstatic: "Great! When the Marquis comes back, we will ship the goods immediately. Then we can suppress any storm."

.......

At this time, inside the Yunzhou government office.

Liu Yanzhi looked at the student in front of him. His appearance hadn't changed at all, but he didn't look like the same Zhang Jingwei at all.

Zhang Jingwei smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. You staring at me like that makes my hair stand on end."

Liu Yanzhi then slowly spoke: "When did you learn medical skills?"

Zhang Jingwei said: "The student had seen the first aid method in a book before."

Liu Yanzhi shook his head and said, "I know my student best. You don't read anything except classics and poetry. You call such books vulgar."

Zhang Jingwei's mind raced, and after a pause, he replied, "Uh... Teacher, I was dull before. Knowledge is power. If it can make people progress, it is the book of sages."

Liu Yanzhi smiled with satisfaction and said, "Well, you have changed. You are more sensible now."
