Chapter 352 Chapter 352: Gan, it’s a leek sickle again [two in one]
Facing Gong Xichou's pressing questions, Zhang He's response was only a long silence, but judging from his expression, he obviously knew about it. No need for more answers, Gong Xichou already understood, and let out a sneer of disdain and contempt.
"This is the order of the imperial physician of a country? It's really eye-opening. It's just a mediocre person who doesn't care about the life and death of the common people for the sake of fame and fortune! Don't you think that you can save something by sitting in Lingzhou Yiru?" Xi Qiu's words were mixed with guns and sticks, causing Shen Tang to secretly look sideways, with a little surprise in his eyes.
The Gong Xiqiu she knew couldn't beat anyone on the battlefield, and no one could say no to him off the battlefield. I never expected that he actually has such a thing as "eloquence", and he is not bad at people.
Zhang He didn't take these words to heart.
But it doesn't mean that other people don't worry about it.
Immediately, Zhang He's confidant, the guard leader couldn't help but stand up and say something fair for Zhang He.
"Although the last general does not know the grievances between this gentleman and my lord, it is true that my lord saved the thousands of common people in Lingzhou, and it is true to protect the common people of Yiru. My lord was ordered by the imperial physician of the medical department before, so I had to obey the lord. Your fate, sir, really don't know?"
This guard leader is Zhang He's confidant. He has followed him for a long time, and he knows something about the past.
It wasn't that Zhang He took the initiative to contact Gu worms.
As the Imperial Physician Order at that time, the imperial doctor with the best medical skills in the medical office, Lord Xin gave him an order to study Gu insects. Can Zhang He still object? Afterwards, he was also subjected to a liquidation operation by the lord of the country who murdered and wiped out his mouth. He escaped by chance and saved his life.
Can the extermination of the Gongxi clan be regarded as Zhang He's work?
The so-called sacred object was he deliberately discarded?
As for the disease everywhere...
It is even less likely that the lord Zhang He did it.
This is to ask what the Xin royal family has done.
Gong Xichou's hatred seems to him to be immature venting anger. It is obvious that his lord has a too good temper, and he has the patience to indulge such unknown pawns to speak nonsense here and not drive them away.
Regarding this, Gong Xiqiu just smiled meaningfully: "Yes, yes, yes, everything you say is right."
He didn't pay attention to the leader of the guard at all.
Looking past him, he landed directly on Zhang He.
"It's just a piece of advice, I hope your lord can remember—the secrets of the Gongxi tribe, it's best not to delve into it. Otherwise, even if I'm the only one left in the Gongxi tribe, I will let you know what regret is! Don't rush into such a 'body' under the benevolent tent, it's better to just have this one!"
Zhang He Gujing Wubo's eyes finally showed some waves: "Gu Ren? Gu Ziyi? Who do you think is under his account?"
Gong Xiqiu said: "You might as well ask yourself."
If you really want to ask, there is a high probability that you will be beaten by Gu Ren.
Back then, Xin Guo and Geng Guo were secretly researching Gu insects, trying to rely on this trump card to dominate the Northwest, and even sweep across the entire mainland. They have secretly conducted cultivation research, planting "gu mothers" for people of different ages and physical conditions.
This "Gu mother" is different from the "Gu insect" that causes the epidemic.
The latter will wake up when it comes into contact with qi and blood, frantically absorb the essence, qi and blood of the human body and start laying eggs, which belongs to the failure of the former.
The former grows slowly, but it can stimulate and improve the potential to the maximum, so that ordinary people can also obtain the strength comparable to mid-to-high-level warriors. Once the host can no longer provide the essence, energy and blood needed by the "Gu mother", the "Gu mother" will crazily squeeze the host body, complete the final transformation in the shortest time, until it breaks out, and the life of the "host body" will follow. to the end.
It's hard to say that Shao Chong was planted with Gu when he was young.
She was murdered while she was still in her mother's womb.
Zhang He didn't know what to think of, and his face darkened: "I really didn't know about this matter. If I knew, I wouldn't have caused a murder back then. I'm really not a good person. I really have a plan to win people's hearts by helping the people of Lingzhou. , but there is absolutely no madness that Mr. Gong Xilang thinks, the most basic ethics of a doctor, I still have some... Please be careful!"
As the Imperial Physician Order deeply trusted by the lord, the research on Gu worms in his hands has made great progress, and his future was originally bright and bright. Outsiders rumored that he was secretly executed, but they didn't know the truth behind the incident—the first batch of "Gu mothers" were bred at that time, and he hoped to use death row prisoners as hosts, but other colleagues talked to the king and secretly arrested a group of ordinary people. .
The Lord of the Kingdom of Xin was moved by rhetoric.
Zhang He couldn't agree more.
It is even more impossible to go with them.
So impulsively chose to hang the seal and resign.
As a result, he was killed.
Fortunately, he was prepared and escaped by chance. In order to save his life, he could only travel around and hide his name.
After he lived in seclusion in Lingzhou for a few years, the situation changed again. The Kingdom of Xin became more and more corrupt and corrupt, and the Kingdom of Geng gradually rose in its place. Zhang He's mind came alive. He is a person who attaches great importance to fame and wealth, otherwise he would not have been elected three times and lost three times.
In the end, I got ahead by entering the medical department.
He is not reconciled to shrinking his head and tail all his life.
Seeing that I am getting older, I still haven't waited for the best time to go out. At this time, he met a filial daughter with a dying old mother. The filial daughter was going to take the old mother to commit suicide, but accidentally broke into his secluded small hospital. Zhang He knew from his filial daughter that a great plague had broken out in Lingzhou.
Lingzhou bureaucrats shirk each other's business.
Hold on to this matter.
It wasn't until he couldn't cover it at all and was stabbed to the court of King Xin that the court of King Xin sent a medical officer from the medical department to rescue him.
The results are welcome.
This group of medical officials, whose medical skills are getting more and more hip, didn't realize that the source of the plague was the water source. Not only did they fail to cure the infected common people, but they also folded most of themselves into it. In order to prevent the spread of the plague, Lingzhou prefecture gathered all the infected people into one city.
Let it run its course.
Zhang He knew this and his heart beat like a drum.
He feels his chance has finally come.
May be able to use this matter to turn around.
Therefore, there was Zhang He who went out of the mountain, not afraid of dirty, tired, and smelly, and went into a city full of patients alone with a medicine box on his back, begging the local nobles for medicinal materials. The more difficult the opponent is, the more he can push up Zhang He's reputation among the common people.
After that, he won the battle with the medical officer of the medical department.
It took a full month for the city to open.
Zhang He also became famous in one battle.
He admits that there is nothing wrong, no matter what a person's original intention is, whether it is for the people or for the name, at least the result is the same.
He can bear Gong Xichou's accusation and anger, but he can't bear the stigma that doesn't belong to him. Seeing that Gong Xiqiu didn't speak, Shen Tang asked his inner doubts: "Dong Zhang is serious?"
Zhang He pointed to the heavenly way: "There is absolutely no falsehood."
Shen Tang was puzzled.
Does Zhang He really have some morals?
Didn't he do what happened to Shao Chong?
"Diseases caused by Gu insects in various places..."
"not me!"
Zhang He was vaguely impatient.
"Who would that be?"
Zhang He said: "I don't know."
He backed out of that project too early, God knows what happened to it later, and—
"Not only Tianhai, Heyin, Shangnan and other places, even the common people under my rule are infected with a similar 'disease'. Fortunately, we discovered it in time and blocked the news. If it is really me, why should I do anything extra? Just to get myself out? "
Zhang He's reputation is built on the support of the common people, and he has also attracted many capable people and strangers. If he loses the support of the people, his foundation will be unstable. Why should he destroy the Great Wall himself?
Shen Tang frowned worriedly.
Because of her current identity as "the envoy sent by the governor of Heyin County", Shen Tang's reaction was also misunderstood by Zhang He.
"The envoy doesn't have to worry too much."
Shen Tang: "How do you say that?"
Zhang He said: "Such a lot of trouble, it is impossible to have no plans. When the time is right, the murderer will reveal his true colors."
Shen Tang: "..."
She doesn't like passive defense at all.
But there is no other good way for the current plan.
Zhang He insisted that he has nothing to do with this matter, it doesn't seem to be a lie, or - let Gu Chi take a look later?
"I don't know what year and month it will be..."
Zhang He guessed: "It shouldn't be too long."
Leaving aside the lethality of the Gu worm itself, just talking about its additional effect "epidemic disease" is not a vegetarian. If the delay is too long, the common people will all die, what are the people behind the scenes planning?
Zhang He had some vague guesses in his heart.
It is estimated that the other party also wants to take the same route as yourself.
Zhang He's fortune history has proved that this road is feasible.
It’s just, what if the common people are not in dire straits?
Then find a way to create "deep water".
These speculations, Zhang He did not say anything.
He hasn't completely dispelled the suspicion yet.
The less trouble, the better.
Seeing that there was nothing to ask, Shen Tang had no choice but to give up temporarily.
She said: "Mr. Zhang, I have one more thing."
"The messenger please speak."
"Is such that…"
Gong Xiqiu learned the clues of the "Gongxi Tribe Sacred Objects", and was going to secretly send people to the place Zhang He mentioned, looking for those who were fighting against each other nearby.
And Shen Tang's trip is not only to find out the "real culprit of the epidemic", but also shoulders the important task of negotiating business and promoting cooperation.
He Yin is too poor and lacks everything.
Because of the existence of Zhang He, the atmosphere of studying medicine prevails in Yiru, Lingzhou, and the business of medicinal materials from nearby counties gathers here. Shen Tang wants to negotiate a good price with Zhang He and buy a batch of good medicinal materials.
It's the same old saying.
He Yin is too poor and lacks everything.
When the seasons change, the common people catch colds frequently, and the Fugu Medical Center will be short of medicines to the extent that they can't make up a prescription.
Apprentices learn pharmacology knowledge from Dr. Dong on weekdays, and they have to go to the mountains to collect herbs every now and then, so it is difficult to maintain the medical center. Shen Tang turned his attention to Yiru, and entered more.
Zhang He: "..."
Medicine business...
This was something he hadn't expected.
He also thought that the He Yin envoy was here to test the possibility of an alliance between the two, and to conduct more in-depth cooperation on this basis. No wonder Zhang He made such a guess, Wu Xian and Gu Ren near He Yin, what kind of good birds could they be? Winning an ally is serious.
Check and balance each other, because only a few companies have the ability to overturn the table, and the situation can be temporarily balanced.
did not expect-
They are here to discuss the business of medicinal materials.
Still discussing business with Yiru County Magistrate...
Zhang He thought for a while, and showed the leek knife.
What is "monopoly"?
Monopoly is his offer, Shen Tang listened.
Gu Chi did not follow Shen Tang in.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that Zhang He was too vigilant, only willing to see Shen Tang and Gong Xichou, Gu Chi was bored, and could only pass the time by listening to the voices of officials and people near the government office, which really let him know a lot of gossip. While he was enjoying it, a particularly abrupt and eye-catching grumpy greeting rushed into his mind like a sharp knife.
Familiar cursing and greetings to the ancestral home.
Well, I still greet Zhang He's ancestral home.
Gu Chi raised his eyebrows.
Adjust the wrinkled sleeves and step forward.
Crossing hands and saluting: "Master Lang."
Shen Tang cursing in his heart stopped abruptly.
Gu Chidao: "Seeing that the Lord's face is unhappy, but this trip is not going well? Or did Zhang Yongqing make things difficult for the Lord?"
Shen Tang was so angry that his face was livid.
"It's more than embarrassing! Why doesn't he go to rob!"
Gan!
Everyone thought she was a leek?
Wu Xian cut off, Zhang He cut off?
Does the leek need no rest?
Shen Tang recalled that Zhang He killed Gao Qi's face as soon as he opened his mouth, and immediately became furious, and smoke could be emitted from the top of his head!
Gu Chi: "..."
Gong Xiqiu couldn't help laughing out loud.
Shen Tang looked sideways, and he consciously stopped laughing.
Then came up with a really bad excuse.
"Mama, you and Mr. Gu are busy first, I will rush to find someone to go there to inquire about it, and recover the holy object as soon as possible."
Say that, and slip away.
The horse's **** disappeared at the end of the long street.
Gu Chi asked curiously, "What holy object?"
Shen Tang: "A coffin, let's talk in the car."
She shared with Gu Chi all the details of today, including the fact that the Gongxi people were pregnant with a treasure and caused a catastrophic genocide. But what's even more funny is that Xin Geng and the two countries didn't know the goods, and buried the most precious sacred objects in the human race as ordinary corpses.
Gu Chi's sensitive nerves were touched.
He looked at Shen Tang: "The coffin?"
Shen Tang was stunned for a moment before he understood the meaning of Gu Chi's eyes—speaking of the coffin, didn't she just wake up from the coffin?
But oh-
The time is wrong.
She didn't know when the Gongxi tribe was exterminated, but guess it was more than ten years ago? A corpse buried in the clan site, even if it was just stuffed in on the eve of the extermination of the clan, the corpse is still fresh and warm, and it should rot into a pair of bones in more than ten years.
But Shen Tang only woke up in the Shen residence half a year ago.
There are so many years between the two.
Taking a step back, even if she is really a holy object and a fraudulent corpse, the muscles will atrophy, become weak and unable to get off the ground after lying in a vegetative state for more than ten years. Has she beaten fewer people in the past half a year?
Shen Tang raised his hand to smell his own flesh.
Can vaguely smell a little woody fragrance.
"Smell and see, this meat is still fresh."
Gu Chi: "...Chi just thought it was a coincidence."
"No matter how coincidental, I can't be that corpse. If you say that the corpse cheated the corpse and gave birth to me as soon as possible, there is still some possibility. The logic makes sense. In this way, the coffin can also be regarded as an inheritance , It makes sense for me to lie in." Shen Tang squeezed his chin, suddenly amused by his own brain hole, and slapped his thigh, "Hey, if this is the case, isn't pretty boy mad?"
The sacred object buried deep in the ground actually gave birth to a daughter.
Is it the loss of humanity, or the loss of morality!
Gu Chi: "..."
Shen Tang laughed enough, the corners of his eyes put away the smile.
Feeling suddenly heavy.
"Speaking of which, Gongxi Qiu's life experience is really bumpy. It's just how did the Gongxi tribe have something to do with the Wu Kingdom's Gu disaster a hundred years ago? And because of this, it caused covetousness and a catastrophic genocide?"
Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty.
This horoscope is applicable wherever it is placed.
The Gongxi people also fell into bad luck.
She intended to chatter and complain, but she didn't expect Gu Chi to listen to gossip all over the world, and he could be called Bai Xiaosheng: "My lord, do you know who founded Wu Kingdom? What is the family tattoo of the Wu kingdom?"
Shen Tang: "..."
