Dingbei Hou's doctor brother

"You haven't answered my previous question yet. You never go to a gambling house and you don't gamble. Why do you go to that kind of place for no reason?" Su Chengfeng asked while leaning against the pillar.

Xiao Yan was sitting at the table talking about something. When he heard this question, he raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Ziqing, and answered Yang Zhounan's words in a inconsistent way.

Lu Ziqing glanced at the two people sitting at the main seat and replied in a low voice. "Could you please be a little quieter?"

Su Chengfeng subconsciously said "Oh", and Lu Ziqing pulled him to the door and continued hesitatingly.

"Well... haven't you been raiding gambling houses these days? I... stumbled upon it while walking down the street, and I wanted to help, so..."

"You help?" Su Chengfeng looked at him suspiciously, "Why am I so unwilling..."

"Stop talking." Lu Ziqing interrupted him.

Su Chengfeng saw his expression and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"When you have time, find someone to contact Cheng Yi and ask him to send the money." Lu Ziqing said,

Su Chengfeng didn't even think about it and asked, "What do you want the money for?"

As soon as he said this, Lu Ziqing looked at him with a look that said, "What do you want the money for?" and then sighed.

"In the capital, we were both broke. If it weren't for Xiao Yan's help, we wouldn't even have enough food and shelter."

"A few days ago, I found that jade pendant at a Hu Shang jade shop on Jinyu Street. I plan to buy it."

"Really?" Su Chengfeng heard the key point and was distracted for a moment, but when he thought about the money, he became suspicious again. "You bought it? How much?"

"One thousand taels!"

"What? One thousand..."

The shouting suddenly attracted the attention of two people who were talking not far away. Su Chengfeng's expression instantly changed, and he lowered his voice.

"It's so expensive? Where can we get so much money now?"

"That's why I came to discuss this with you." Lu Ziqing said, "Try to contact Cheng Yi."

"Chengyi's whereabouts are erratic. Who knows if he's in Yongzhou or Suzhou? Or somewhere else?" Su Chengfeng thought for a moment. "We can go to Zhongzhou and ask Old Ji from Ruifu Jade Shop to send some banknotes."

Lu Ziqing nodded silently, "Then speed up, the faster the better, I'll leave first."

"Wait a minute." Su Chengfeng stopped him and asked, "I haven't asked you yet. Wu Ji said that you haven't been back to the Marquis' Mansion in recent days. What have you been doing?"

Lu Ziqing threw down the words "raise money" and turned away.

The next day was in West City.

Shoukangtang Clinic was unusually quiet. The owner walked back and forth in the lobby with his hands behind his back, complaining to the doctor.

"What's going on these days? Why hasn't anyone come to see the doctor? If this continues, what will I give you? You should think of a solution."

An old doctor with white hair and beard sighed and said, "Manager Qian, you can see that it's not just our clinic, but other clinics as well. What can we do?"

"Yeah, this has never happened before. It's understandable that we're the only one with no business, but other families are also without business. Look over there..."

Another old doctor stood up and spoke as he walked to the door, pointing to the long line of people at the herbal medicine store across the street.

"No one is coming to our clinics for treatment, but the pharmacies across the street are full of people lining up to get their medicine. Where do you think these people get their treatment?"

The shopkeeper said, "The Huimin Bureau provides free medical treatment."

The white-bearded doctor said, "Even if the Huimin Bureau provides free services, it only covers a portion of the cost. What about the remaining portion?"

The herbal medicine shop was in a state of commotion. The shop owner and the medicine dispensers were busy and sweating profusely.

He hadn't had a drop of water for the entire morning, his throat was dry and he was retching, but he was still shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Everyone, please be patient. We are short-handed. Please bear with us."

"Hurry up, I wasn't this slow even when I came the day before yesterday. My master is still waiting for the second dose of medicine."

"I just arrived today, and my mother is critically ill. Could you please get it for me first?"

"My master is the owner of Cuifeng Tea Shop. Please get it for me first."

"Your Cuifeng Tea Shop, my master is still an official kiln owner, give it to us first."

"........."

A young man in a gray cross-collared shirt standing nearby watched, dragged over a sack of herbs, handed it to the waiter, and asked him.

"Your pharmacy is doing so well now? It's much better than before."

The waiter took a few sacks of dried herbs, put them on the scale, and said with a smile, "It's only in the past few days that so many people have suddenly come here."

He put down the sacks and said, "These bags weigh 480 kilograms, 100 kilograms less than last year. The medicinal materials in your house are of very good quality, but it's a pity that the quantity is too small."

"Come on, I've been giving it to you for free for so many years, and you still think it's not enough." said the young man in gray.

The clerk smiled playfully and flattered, "That's because the goods are good and free. Our boss doesn't want to spend money to buy goods from other stores."

The young man in gray didn't answer. When he walked to the door, he heard the people in the queue behind him talking.

"Is your prescription also prescribed by the Red Cloth Divine Doctor?"

"Yes, my young lady used a pair the other day and it was very effective. She came back today to get a second pair according to the same prescription."

"You are all treated by the Red Cloth Divine Doctor, right? My master is also treated by the Red Cloth Divine Doctor, but he just came to get the medicine today."

"The Red Cloth Miracle Doctor's medical skills are amazing. It's spread everywhere these days. Those people in front must have been treated by him."

"........."

The young man in gray lowered his eyes in thought, then walked over and asked, "Young man, was your prescription also prescribed by the Red Cloth Divine Doctor?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

The young man in gray asked politely, "Can I see your recipe?"

The young man spread the prescription in front of him. There was no seal on it, only the word "Nanxing" in the lower left corner.

No title as a doctor?

Xiao Si asked again, "Excuse me, what does this red cloth doctor look like?"

The young man said, "He's a very handsome young man, very tall, dressed in white, and his accent doesn't sound like someone from the capital."

The young man in gray looked around along the street and found that the prescriptions of these people were all signed with the same words, and they all gave the same description of the red cloth doctor.

After returning home, he crossed the long bridge over the lotus lake, walked to the square pavilion in the middle of the lake, and reported to the man who was practicing swordsmanship.

"My Lord, this year's medicinal herbs have been delivered."

Xiao Yan did not stop.

"Also..." the young man in gray said, "I've already asked about the Red Cloth Miracle Doctor who's been going viral these past few days. According to the people, he's a very handsome young man, very tall, who likes to wear white clothes and is from another place."

"As for this person's name, I don't know. I only saw the words 'Nanxing' on the prescription, which doesn't sound like a name."

After these words were spoken, Xiao Yancai put away his knife and stopped. The subordinate in gray handed him a handkerchief and continued talking.

"However, based on my subordinates' speculation, these descriptions seem to be somewhat biased towards Mr. Lu."

Xiao Yan wiped his cheeks and neck a few times and glared at his subordinate in gray.

"Don't talk too much, just do your job."
