In the past two days, all the conversations of residents of Qizhou City have revolved around Li Shizhen.

Since the governor of Huguang, Wang Zhiyuan, sent officers and soldiers to surround Yuhu, people have been very curious.

Although Li Shizhen is quite famous for her medical reputation in the local area, it still arouses doubts from local people.

The title of "miracle doctor" was given by Zhu Yiliu and is now highly recognized by Hu Cheng.

But no one in Qizhou City calls Li Shizhen that way.

Li Shizhen's reputation was not very famous at that time and even in the world. Historically, his reputation was after the publication of "Compendium of Materia Medica", that is, after his death, and several years after his death.

Because "Compendium of Materia Medica" did not receive high attention when it was published.

At this time, he was only a well-known doctor in Qizhou City, and he was still far from the "miracle doctor".

So if you get Zhu Yili's invitation, and it's so grand that it seems that you can't do it without him, naturally some people will find this a bit incredible.

"Even the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital cannot cure the illness of Empress Depin. Can Dr. Li cure it?"

"There are so many doctors all over the country, why do you think Dr. Li can do it alone?"

"I heard that an imperial physician had come from the capital. He lived by the Yu Lake for several months with Dr. Li. I don't know what they were studying in it."

"What makes people even more curious is that I just want to treat Empress Depin and let Dr. Li go to Beijing by himself. He doesn't know the way? Why did the emperor send someone to pick him up from the capital? Don't you find it strange?"

"This is strange, but it has nothing to do with us, let's just watch the fun."

"Do you think it will be for some other reason?"

"What else can be the reason?"

"I heard that Dr. Li has been traveling around the country for so many years and is preparing to write a medical masterpiece..."

"Tsk, no matter how awesome the Emperor of Medicine is, he has never read it. Besides, how good can he be? Isn't it just a medical book? It's not the way to govern the country."

"Yes, the doctor is not as good as the scholar Xiang after all."

“…”

Although doubts are flying all over the sky, some people think that because of the great medical work, no one believes it.

Doctors were not a popular industry, especially civilians, and their status was even lower at that time.

This is also why Li Shizhen's father Li Yanwen is unwilling to Li Shizhen to study medicine with him.

When Li Shizhen was fourteen years old, he went to Huangzhou Prefecture to take the exam with his father and returned as a scholar. However, because Li Shizhen came from a family of doctors, she loved medicine since she was a child and was not keen on the imperial examination. Later, she went to Wuchang three times to take the exam, and finally decided to abandon Confucianism and study medicine and study medicine.

The status of scholars at that time was still very high, so if a civilian doctor was so popular with the emperor today because of writing a book, he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.

In this way, amid the rumor of discussion, doubt and speculation, Zhang Dashou and Gu Qingyun led the carefully selected twenty-four Jinyiweisers to Qizhou.

Li Shizhen was picked up that day.

Li Shizhen did not take his entourage, but only brought his son Li Jianyuan.

Hu Cheng originally wanted to visit Zhang Juzheng and then go to Beijing again. But after thinking about it, he had read "Compendium of Materia Medica", but he felt bad if he was not with Li Shizhen at this time, so he gave up.

The men sent by Wang Zhiyuan kept sending them out of Huguang safely before returning.

Zhang Dashou naturally recognized Hu Cheng, but he couldn't talk about any friendship, but he wanted to know how awesome the "Compendium of Materia Medica" was, and why Zhu Yiliu looked at it so seriously, as if it was priceless.

On that day, the group arrived in Henan.

After dinner, while Li Shizhen and Li Jianyuan were not around, Zhang Dashou asked Hu Cheng:

"Is the emperor spending so much effort just for a medical book?"

"Shh, don't talk about this on the way. Don't you understand the emperor's intention?"

"Of course I understand, I'm just curious." Zhang Dashou looked gossipy.

"Then you have to wait until you arrive in Beijing safely before inquiring."

Hu Cheng was careful along the way and tried his best to avoid talking about "Compendium of Materia Medica" at any time.

"Can anyone dare to rob it?"

Zhang Dashou did not understand the value of "Compendium of Materia Medica", so he was naturally not as careful as Hu Cheng.

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid that if Zhang Jingxiu's child is robbed, it's a warning to us."

“…”

When Zhang Dashou mentioned that Zhang Jingxiu's child was robbed, he stopped slightly, but he still disagreed and said:

"This is not comparable."

"Eunuch Zhang, this is not a comparison. I just want to remind you that the emperor works hard to reform and violates the interests of many people. Those people openly dare not deal with the emperor, but in the secret, there will always be people who want to destroy what the emperor likes, so we should be careful."

"Hey, that's true, but I really don't understand what those people think." Zhang Dashou murmured, "Just like Zhang Jingxiu's child was stolen. What's the point of doing this? Just to disgust Long Live Master? Is it okay now? Is Baoding Mansion sad?"

Hu Cheng didn't want to talk to Zhang Dashou, but after all, he was the Sili Supervisor, and he didn't want to talk to him about "Compendium of Materia Medica", so he talked a few words and sat for a while about Zhang Jingxiu's child being stolen and about Baoding Mansion.

Hu Cheng asked: "Why is Baoding Mansion sad?"

"You don't know yet? Long Sui Ye appointed Zhang Jiayin, the Minister of War in Nanjing, as the Governor General of Northern Zhili, and set up the Governor's Office in Baoding, and to launch an operation on Baoding Prefecture."

"What kind of attack?" Hu Cheng asked. He was not interested in politics, just to divert Zhang Dashou's attention.

"Of course it's a reform. Long lively swears to plow Baoding Mansion like a farm."

Zhang Dashou said it very exciting.

But Hu Cheng didn't want to hear it, so he had to get up and say, "Eunuch Zhang, we'd better hurry up, right?"

"Okay, hurry up, you have the final say in everything anyway, so that's what Master Long live instructed." Zhang Dashou had no choice but to get up.

But they didn't notice that the four big men sitting not far away were showing their eyes to each other, and they started to whisper when they walked away.

"This is the one we're going to wait for."

"Look, that person is Hu Cheng. The Left Court magistrate who cured Zhang Juzheng's hemorrhoids was sent by the emperor."

"Li Shizhen and Li Jianyuan are sitting in the carriage."

"When will we start to act?"

"As far as the command is concerned, we should be quick. Our mission is not to let them leave Henan."

"Boss, are there only four of us?"

"You dare to have four people? There are nearly thirty people. To deal with them, you must at least have this number."

"Then how much silver can we share?"

“Not less.”

“…”

The four people whispered for a while and followed again.

Hu Cheng and his group, except for Li Shizhen and Li Jianyuan, all of them rode horses. Hu Cheng and Zhang Dashou led the way, and Gu Qingyun was arrested. The top twelve Jinyiweis and the last twelve Jinyiweis.

Because this was Zhu Yili's order, everyone knew that they would invite Li Shizhen to Beijing to see Zhao Lingsu, so they were treated very well when they passed by the inn.

Don't worry about the carriage and horse.

The only thing to worry about is safety.

Of course, everyone attaches different importance to it, Hu Cheng is the most important, so when he rushes, his eyes are always accustomed to visiting around with great vigilance.

Walking to an official road again.

"Eunuch Zhang, have you noticed something is wrong?" Hu Cheng suddenly stopped vigilantly.

"Oh, I said Zuo Yuan sir, don't be suspicious all day long, okay?" Zhang Dashou was a little impatient, "It made everyone nervous. This is the official path, the official path, what's wrong with it?"

"Look at this ghost weather, it's very hot, there's no wind at all, and everyone is tired from rushing. Let's speed up and rush to the next station to rest!"

In fact, the rest is a fake, and Hu Cheng wanted to fly to the capital immediately, but he was always worried about accidents on the way. It was one aspect that cared too much about "Compendium of Materia Medica", but Zhu Yiliu's actions were too big recently, so he knew that something happened to Zhang Jingxiu's child made him feel that he had to be cautious everywhere.

"Okay." Zhang Dashou shook his head, then turned around and shouted, "Everyone is going to speed up."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "whoosh".

A bamboo arrow with flames ignited at Hu Cheng's face.

"The Zuo Yuan judge lies down!" Zhang Dashou screamed in horror.
