Chapter 32 Craftsman’s Creativity

When he went out, the Gu family servants looked gloating on their faces. Xie Hong had good ears and could hear some of the Gu family whispering.

"The master was not in a good mood at first. This little chief clerk had to bump up. He thought he was proud when he could enter the door. It was so funny that he was so funny. Why did the Star Lord come down to earth? He could just deceive the ignorant villain. When he met my master, he wouldn't he show his true form?"

Xie Hong was very angry this time, but there was nothing to say to these little people, but his goal of teaching a lesson has increased, and he has expanded from the Gu Yudian to the entire Gu family.

After leaving the door, Magistrate Wang sighed and said, "Thank you, I am telling you before, young people should be cautious of being arrogant and impatient. But you... Alas, I can't help you this time, so you should take care of yourself." After that, he shook his head, got into the official sedan chair, and left on his own.

Xie Hong had no resentment towards him, and Magistrate Wang was pretty good to him. Besides, the relationship between the two was not deep, and they had only met twice in total. It was not realistic to expect someone to do his best to help him. He gave a gift to the official sedan chair and sent Magistrate Wang away.

"Brother Xie, things..." Xie Hong stood up straight, and Ma Wentao walked up. He glanced at Xie Hong's face and knew that things were not going well. He swallowed it back halfway through the words.

"Brother Ma, did you say before that someone in the Gu family is willing to sell you news?" Xie Hong was worried when he said that. When he saw Ma Wentao, he even started to get up on this matter.

"That one costs twenty taels..." Ma Wentao was shocked. He didn't care at all when he said this. How could such a stupid person spend so much money to buy useless news?

But... it was Xie Hong who said this. He really couldn't say what he questioned. If he had to choose one of him and Xie Hong to believe it, he wouldn't really choose himself. After all, the wisdom of brother Xie is known to everyone in the county.

"It's okay, it's just twenty taels. Brother Ma, after you ask for the news, go to the yamen to find me." With the order, Xie Hong turned around and left without waiting for Ma Wentao to agree. He took a very urgent step, and he was full of anger. If he didn't vent, he was really afraid that he would have an attack on the spot.

It’s really not good if a person has no status. After experiencing the Gu family, Xie Hong felt very moved. Before defeating the Chen family and winning praise from the whole county, Xie Hong was quite proud. Although he was a human being for two lifetimes, his mentality was just a young man in his twenties.

In his previous life, he focused on improving his skills and did not have much experience in interpersonal communication. His amazing performance in the county before was just because his information was far beyond this era.

Think about it calmly, it is not that I am too great to make the Chen family surrender. What I rely on is the official position of the chief clerk. But what if I lose this official position or meet someone with a higher official position than me? After all, the chief clerk is just a ninth-rank official. Xie Hong shook his head with a wry smile. Apart from his skills, he really has nothing to rely on.

How can I teach the Gu family a lesson with my skills? Xie Hong frowned and thought hard. He didn't even know when he arrived at the county government. Fang Jin stopped him, and then he realized it.

"Sir, where are you going?"

"Oh, Mr. Fang, what are you doing at the county yamen?" Seeing Fang Jin at the door, Xie Hong felt very strange. This person rarely goes out of the yamen.

"Sir, I just received a document from Baoanzhou that a thief escaped from the state prison and notified all counties to arrest him. You see, this is a wanted order, and I am about to post it here... Sir?"

Prison escape? A light flashed in Xie Hong's heart, as if he had remembered something. He thought hard and wanted to seize that idea.

"Sir? It's a serious criminal who escaped from prison. The name of the criminal..." Seeing that he was unsteady, Fang Jin raised his voice and continued to report.

"By the way, it's just a prison escape. It's great, I understand!" Xie Hong walked into the county government with a smile.

Fang Jin took the notice and was confused. The adult said it was great to escape from prison? Could it be that the adult and the thief... he shivered, quickly regained the idea, and continued to post the list.

Xie Hong was very happy. Craftsmanship or information alone were nothing. The combination of the two was different. Brother is a time travel craftsman, how could he be stumped by an imperial physician? We are a person who wants to be with the emperor, so we can't be so unreliable.

Prison break, haha, why didn’t you expect it? Yes, I just did it like this, just waiting for Brother Ma’s news. As long as I know the purpose of the Gu family’s Buddha treasure, then I can make a decision.

Xie Hong was calculating the details in the chief clerk's office, and looked so excited that when Ma Wentao got the news and came to meet him, he was really surprised.

"It wasn't long before we parted. Brother Xie was still full of sorrow just now. Why did he suddenly feel like a spring breeze?"

Xie Hong didn't know what he was thinking, but when he saw Ma Wentao come in, he was even more happy and asked hurriedly: "Brother Ma, how are you inquiring about the news?"

"Well, if you get the money, the servant will say it all." Ma Wentao nodded and said, "It turns out that this Yudian Gu is unpopular in the Imperial Hospital. He is a newcomer. There is also a hospital and two judges in the Imperial Hospital. The other Imperial Hospital has a seniority and a few imperial physicians, so he is not very fed in the capital. This time he returns to his hometown to relax."

Xie Hong didn't ask him to ask these questions, but Ma Wentao was already very good at speaking. The servant was just greedy for money, but he didn't have much scheming. He got the words out in a few seconds, and even he eavesdropped on his own master's privacy.

"Oh..." Xie Hong suddenly realized that he felt something was wrong. Lord Gu's attitude was no longer simply arrogant. He looked unreasonable, and he was just like an aunt who had entered menopause. It turned out that he was also an unsuccessful person. He left the capital and was looking for balance. It was OK to find balance, but it was your fault to find your brother.

"As for collecting Buddha treasures, it was for the sake of the palace." Ma Wentao whispered: "Two months later, it was the Empress Dowager's birthday. The Empress Dowager was kind and frugal. He said that it was not long before Emperor Xiaozong passed away, so he would not hold a birthday party. However, the emperor and many concubines in the palace were preparing birthday ceremony. The Empress Dowager respected the Buddha and the Gu family collected Luofu treasures for this matter."

"So that's it." Xie Hong suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Imperial Hospital mainly serves the imperial palace. If it could win the favor of the Queen Mother, Gu's status as the Imperial Doctor would naturally rise.

This is the best. The more useful the Buddha treasure, the higher the status of the person he gives, the greater the lesson he will get. Xie Hong smiled sly and smiled proudly.

Ma Wentao, who was standing beside him, felt a little chilled and thought to himself: "Why did Brother Xie smile so strangely? Nothing bad will happen."
