Mr. Wang worships you, how about the master?
Because Jia Zhen refused to allow Jia Rong, You Shi and others to be present during the previous diagnosis and treatment, the family surrounded Dr. Wang and asked.
But after getting Jia Zhen's instructions in it, Doctor Wang didn't say much, but just answered a few symptom questions quickly, and prescribed the prescription, and was about to leave.
Jia Rong hurriedly sent Lao Dai Doctor Wang out. On the way, Jia Rong asked respectfully: I don’t know if my father’s illness is important?Is it irrelevant to life?
Old Doctor Wang thought about it, sighed softly, and shook his head.
He got Jia Zhen's advice that it was difficult to leak the condition, but he just met the Jia family and did not reveal any news.
Otherwise, in the end, he was afraid that he would be called a quack doctor, so he said slowly: I'd better ask another famous doctor and take a look.
Hearing this, Jia Rong knew it, she was simply ecstatic, but she looked sad and said sadly: The old worship is the number one famous doctor in the world. Even the Tian family worships you. If you say it is useless, which one can I invite?I just want to give you a sure letter. Where did this disease come from? It’s so good, why did it suddenly become bad?Can it be cured or not?
Old Doctor Wang shook his head and said: This disease is very bizarre. The old doctor's skills are shallow, and even I can't figure it out.
Jia Rong said again: I’m an old worshiper, is it important to my father’s illness?Seeing that the New Year is coming, can you live it?
When the old Doctor Wang heard this, his eyes twitched, and his heart felt cold. He shook his head and said: Brother is the most wise person. When he knows how to treat the doctor, he sometimes has to talk about medical treatment.Mr. Zhen is here, and the medical affinity may not be enough. I should invite a famous doctor to take a look.
After saying that, he turned around and looked at it, with a look of joy or sorrow, and his face was faintly ferocious and distorted. He sighed and led him out of the housekeeper.
After leaving Ningguo Mansion, the old doctor looked back at the noble family and sighed in his heart:
The strange Taoist said that the Marquis' family is as deep as the sea. In such a noble family, let alone human favors, there is no trace of human nature...
……
However, after Jia Rong sent Lao Dai Doctor Wang out of the mansion and returned to Ning'an Hall, he saw Youshi, Qin and his wife and maids still staying outside. He couldn't help but wonder: Why don't you go in?
You Shi looked worried and sighed: The master just said that you would go see him first.
Jia Rong's heart skipped, and she laughed dryly, but she didn't dare to delay, so she quickly went inside.
However, before Youshi, Qinshi and others breathed a sigh of relief, they heard a shrill scream from inside:
Ah!!
Then, Jia Zhen gasped and said: I will kill your father's beast with a bad heart!Say, what medicine did you give me?
Ah!!
After another scream, Jia Rong's voice came: Master, my son is a beast that is worse than a pig or a dog, and he can't do anything to poison the biological father!
Hearing that at this point, Youshi, Qinshi and others dared not delay, so they quickly stepped into the inner room.
Jia Rong knelt in a pool of blood, the ground was covered with broken porcelain, Jia Zhen's face was flushed, but her whole body stood on the back of the chair with trembling whole body, and cursed sternly: Do you dare not admit it?Old Doctor Wang has diagnosed you with poison, but how dare you deny it?
Jia Rong didn't care about bleeding from her head and kowtowed: My son is willing to confront the old doctor. If his son is really poisoned, he is willing to be cut into pieces and executed by Lingchi. He just wants the master to calm down. His son will go and invite the old doctor Wang back now!
Jia Zhen picked up another plate and was about to smash it, but was stopped by Youshi and cried: It is easy for the master to beat and scold him, but at least he should cherish his body.The master is now in his prime and he is free of disasters and pain on weekdays. Even if his son is a little uncomfortable at this moment, he just wants to come and raise him. Why bother to get angry and get rid of his body?
But he didn't expect that Youshi didn't mention that he was in his prime and was fine without any disaster or illness. This mention reminded Jia Zhen of the past few months of failure and the ending life, which made him more and more believe that it was Jia Rong who gave him medicine.
The originally sore and weak body was suddenly filled with violent aura. He pushed You Shi away, raised the red sandalwood marble backrest chair he was holding, and smashed it hard at Jia Rong amid the screams of You Shi and Qin!
Bang!
When Jia Rong heard the screams of You and Qin, she hurriedly hugged her head and leaned on the ground with her hands. Fortunately, she avoided the vital points.
But this time it still hit hard. It fell on the arched back. Jia Rong let out a shrill scream and was knocked to the ground by a chair. She pulled it out and fainted.
This is a chair with solid wood and marble inlaid...
After Jia Rong fainted, Jia Zhen stood there, perhaps because she used too much force and shook it twice, as if she wanted to hit her again, but when she turned her eyes, she fell down and fell into a coma.
In this situation, Youshi and Qin were shocked to death. They dared not even ask for help. They asked the mother-in-law to watch all the maids and daughter-in-law in the house, and then sent someone to report the news to the West Mansion.
The sky in the East Mansion is about to collapse!
……
The Salt Courtyard, the side hall.
Lin Ruhai looked at Qi Taizhong opposite with a gloomy face and said lightly: Old Master Qi, Qiang'er came out of Qi Garden and never stopped for a moment, and even temporarily changed the route on Guandong Street. In this way, he could be ambushed by someone.How many companies can do this in Yangzhou Prefecture?
Qi Taizhong looked at Lin Ruhai, sighed lightly, and said slowly: Lin Yanyuan, these are all details. Within three days, those who take action will be taken to the Yanyuan Yamen, and Lin Yanyuan will deal with it.What’s important now is how hurt that good friend, how?I brought the best doctor and the best famous medicine in Yangzhou. Can I ask them to see Liangchen and Xiaoyou?
Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment and said lightly: The two imperial physicians have seen it and have no worries about their lives.Old Master Qi doesn’t have to go there anymore, so let Mr. Qi take a look.
When Qi Taizhong heard this, he nodded to Qi Yun beside him, and Qi Yun followed Mr. Wang to the small study.
After taking Qi Yun away, Qi Taizhong smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: Lin Yanyuan, you disciple, you are such a little monkey.If I hadn't been sure, I would have been able to doubt that the idiot would have done something today, and I would have been suspicious that it was the scene he had arranged himself.This little guy is really lucky!
Lin Ruhai smiled and said: If he hadn't been lucky today and had someone to protect him, Qiang'er would not be able to be spared today.In this way, it is indeed a good fortune.
Qi Taizhong was not very concerned about Lin Ruhai. He chuckled and said: Lin Yanyuan, who does not experience a lifetime of death if he really wants to do big things?Don’t say that I have encountered ambush, assassination, poisoning and setting fires in this life, is it that you are, have you been a few?Without such hardship, you will not achieve great things.People with luck, those who are destined to be the ones, will naturally be able to turn danger into danger.If there is really no luck, you can only accept your fate.Lin Yanyuan, let’s talk about it. What else do you want this time?
Lin Ruhai glanced at Qi Taizhong without speaking.
It’s not that people who have reached his position actually understand that only the pure interests are real.
Haven't you seen that in the court, there are many people who have broken up their faces and attacked directly in person for an official position.
The higher you reach the highest level, the more you understand that vanity is the most useless.
He didn't speak, just because he really didn't know what Jia Qiang wanted...
After Qi Taizhong carefully examined Lin Ruhai for a moment, he laughed and said in a silence: I have always thought that the good minister was the master of the Salt Court, but I didn't expect that it was his own idea. Tsk, the young man is afraid of Ah.Well, just wait and see what price that kid can offer.
Lin Ruhai looked at Qi Taizhong who was free and even reliant in front of him, and suddenly laughed and said lightly: Today's affairs should not be done by the Second Master of Qi's family. If it were done by the Second Master of Qi's family, Qiang'er would not have come back alive.It wouldn't be the uncle of the Qi family. If you decide to depose him, you will not give him a chance to make trouble.From this point of view, it should be the method of the Third Master of the Qi family?With such a large dispatchable force and doing such a rough job, there would be no one else except Master Qi San, who admires the elegance and vanity.
Lin Ruhai was able to hold the Yangzhou Prefecture for thirteen years. After several storms, he reshuffled the eight major salt merchants in addition to the Qi family. It also means that he can still stand firm after at least three waves of fierce attacks from the powerful and powerful behind the salt merchants. If he is said to be a simple character, who can believe it?
How can I hide such a thing from him?
If Lin Ruhai is a simple character, Qi Taizhong will not come to him in person.
Is it really like Qi Taizhong so easy to talk to, and let Jia Qiang give him the conditions?
Qi Taizhong ignored Lin Ruhai's words. Of course, he would not admit it stupidly, but he did not deny anything, because his stupid son had too big flaws.
Fortunately, the flaw is too big, otherwise, even if the Qi family is not destroyed, it will inevitably be difficult to escape the misfortune.
Qi Taizhong looked at Lin Ruhai and sighed: Lin Yanyuan... Forget it, I'm so proud and call you Brother Ruhai.Ruhai, brother Qi's family and the Yanyuan Yamen are sincerely working together. There may be flaws within it, but there are no obstacles to the great ritual.In the salt administration reform, how strong is Qijia supporting the Salt Courtyard? Brother Hai, you know it.If the Qi family really has malicious intentions, the Qi family will naturally not be able to end up in a good way, but at this moment, I am afraid that both sides will still be beaten to death, and they may even be defeated.Therefore, it doesn’t matter who does today.Importantly, this matter is by no means in line with Qi's expectations.I can guarantee that this will not happen to Yangzhou Prefecture again.And Xiaoyou Lin will also receive compensation from the person behind the scenes.So, let’s put the overall situation first.
After hearing this, Lin Ruhai was silent for a moment and said lightly: Let’s see how Qiang'er makes a choice.
Back then, because the overall situation was the priority, he once compromised once, but it was the most regretful thing in this life.
Now, how could he still let the past appear again!
……
Small study room, west wing.
Qi Yun looked at Jia Qiang on the bed with laughter and cry, and said: Liangchen, there is still a difference between yellow ginger juice and blood loss and sallowness. In addition, although Liangchen's brother breathed unevenly, his breath was strong and his tail breath was not as weak as he was.Furthermore, you, Liang Chen, have a look of dispersion, but in fact you have a spirit inside... These ordinary people naturally cannot see it, but my second uncle has produced many talented people. Since I was ten years old, I have learned these names thoroughly.You...
Jia Qiang was not moved, but his eyes were no longer dissipated. He lay on the bed and stared at Qi Yun coldly, and said slowly: Qi Yun, if it weren't for the people around me who were fighting to protect each other, I would definitely die today.It is hard for me to think that besides someone from the Qi family, there is anyone else in Yangzhou Prefecture who can hide it from your Qi family and kill me in the alley I temporarily turned into.I am lying in this disaster now. Is it used to show you your excellent youth education?
Qi Yun stopped hearing this, smiled and looked at Jia Qiang and said: Good minister, this matter has nothing to do with us.When you came out of Qiyuan, what happened like this, my grandfather and I were very angry and worried, so after hearing the news, I would come to visit you as soon as possible...
Jia Qiang slowly raised his hand, stopped Qi Yun from speaking, and said: Tell you, the old man, I need a voice that can speak in the Military Office...
Qi Yun laughed angrily when she heard this and said: Are you crazy?My family is just a salt merchant. Do you think we can control the Minister of Military Affairs?!Liangchen, what are you thinking?
Jia Qiang lowered his eyes and said softly: Brother De'ang, just tell your grandfather what I said. It is indeed impossible for the Qi family to control a military minister, but they can have friendship with a military minister. In addition, in order to avoid such a thing happening next time, I will have all the staff left by the Bai, Chen, Zhou and Wu families. Please make a list and send it to Qi family. Otherwise, if someone ambushed me next time, I may not have the good luck today.
Qi Yun looked at Jia Qiang with a faint expression and asked: If the Qi family cannot meet your requirements, I wonder what you are going to be prepared for?
Jia Qiang chuckled, raised his eyes and looked at Qi Yun, and said seriously: How are you preparing?If this is the Qi family’s response, I am not going to do anything at the moment, really.Cooperation is what should be done, and dealings are what should be done.
Qi Yun looked at Jia Qiang's handsome and indifferent face with a gentle smile, but felt a chill in her heart.
If you don’t plan to do anything at the moment, just keep it in mind. Will the future last?
Thinking of his grandfather's furious situation when he first heard the shocking news, Qi Yun sighed again. The young hero who was younger than him in front of him was afraid that after this incident, he really wanted to accumulate the foundation of a force.

Because Jia Zhen refused to allow Jia Rong, You Shi and others to be present during the previous diagnosis and treatment, the family surrounded Dr. Wang and asked.

However, after Jia Rong sent Lao Dai Doctor Wang out of the mansion and returned to Ning'an Hall, he saw Youshi, Qin and his wife and maids still staying outside. He couldn't help but wonder: Why don't you go in?
You Shi looked worried and sighed: The master just said that you would go see him first.
Jia Rong's heart skipped, and she laughed dryly, but she didn't dare to delay, so she quickly went inside.
