Chapter 48: Nine-patterned Dragon Survives from Desperation II
Shi Jin's eyes were fixed on Li Baicao's hands holding the medicine dish and applying the medicine, but Li Baicao didn't seem to take it seriously, smiled and said nothing. Shi Jin looked at the shocking scars, one by one.
Under the wisps of white new flesh, there was bright red blood. The scars were like ravines dug on Li Baicao's hands, with deep depressions. In some places, the phalanges under the flesh could clearly be seen.
"Baicao, this is..." Shi Jin looked at his injury and felt unspeakably touched in his heart. He didn't know what happened to Li Baicao in just a few days, but from this moment on
Judging from the injuries, it was not difficult for him to guess that Li Baicao was seriously injured and suffered a lot.
Li Baicao still smiled at this time and still carefully gave Shi Jin the good medicine. When he turned to go, Shi Jin suddenly raised his sore arm and gently held Li Baicao's wrist. Shi Jin looked into it with his eyes.
Li Baicao asked: "What's the matter with this injury? If you have difficulties, don't carry it alone."
Li Baicao gently broke away from Shi Jin's hand and sighed slightly, but wanted to make Shi Jin feel at ease. He forced a smile and said, "It's all over. Tell me what he did." He held the medicine plate and put it on the table.
on the Eight Immortals table in the middle of the room.
Shi Jin was born cheerful, and he really didn't have the patience to see Li Baicao being so coquettish. But in his heart, he felt that the injury was so serious that even if Li Baicao didn't pay attention, he wouldn't have hurt himself like this. Besides, Shi Jin
During those few days in Shaohua Mountain, Li Baicao brought very little news. Later, not only did he lose contact, but all the men he sent to contact him disappeared. Shi Jin's mind was very happy, and in this moment of emptiness, he felt the past in his heart.
They ran back and forth together and thought about it. They felt that Li Baicao must have experienced something in those few days, or at least what he faced.
Shi Jin was a little anxious, so he asked him directly: "Li Baicao, tell me the truth, who dared to hurt you like this when you fell to the ground?"
As soon as Li Baicao heard this slight change in tone, he knew in his heart that it would be inappropriate not to say anything. After thinking for a moment, he said honestly: "The boss, it is originally a personal matter. At this critical moment, we should not
I'm sorry to trouble you."
Shi Jin was only concerned about who caused his injury, and said: "Don't talk about hard work or not, they are all my brothers, please tell me quickly."
Li Baicao took out the bandage from the medicine cabinet and wrapped some unnamed grass leaves on Shi Jin's wound. Then while wrapping the bandage, he faced Shi Jin and said, "It's a long story.
It was my youngest son who caused the trouble. But since I have to say it, I am not afraid of the big boss’s jokes. I only have a son in my thirties, so I have to be very pampered. Unexpectedly, I am so young and ignorant.
, one day I actually got into trouble with Huang Tianba, and was severely beaten by Huang Tianba's men. That day I was sitting in the medicine shop on the front street for a consultation, but I didn't expect that a group of neighbors were bringing my own son.
.”
Li Baicao seemed to have seen the miserable state of his son being carried in that day again, his brows slightly furrowed, and now his face looked full of distress, Li Baicao continued: "At that time, both his legs were beaten to pieces.
I could only look at him and give him medicine to heal his injuries. But I really couldn’t afford to offend Huang Tianba, so I had no choice but to endure it like this."
"Who is Huang Tianba? Why haven't I heard about it? You have Shaohua Mountain to protect you, so why are you afraid of him!" Shi Jin was quite aggrieved after hearing this.
"There are two great families in Huayin County. He is the eldest son of the Huang family whose ancestors were officials for three generations. Huang Yizhe, the original regiment trainer of Huazhou, is his father. The head of the family has never heard of his name.
That's because his father is here and he doesn't dare to mess around. His father died last year, and he has caused a lot of trouble in Huayin County. He has a group of desperadoes under his command. Apart from the county magistrate, he is the biggest
.”
"No matter how big it is, it can't be bigger than Shaohua Mountain. If I were in charge then, I would immediately have a bad breath with you. Why should you hold it in?" Shi Jin heard more and more that if he had other people's ambitions, he would have more prestige himself, so he felt in his heart
Very unhappy with that Huang Tianba.
"That's what the boss says, but Wan Wan does such a thing. What do I, Li Baicao, do when I open a pharmacy in Huayin County? To others, I am just an ordinary doctor, but in fact, I am an undercover whistleblower. To put it bluntly, I am
Our Shaohua Mountain is a chess piece arranged in the county. Who wouldn’t want to vent such bad breath, but can I.” Li Baicao shook his head slightly as he spoke.
When Shi Jin heard this, he was right, but even though he could keep his identity, he suffered a lot of grievances.
Seeing Shi Jin's silence, Li Baicao continued: "I'll endure it here, but my dog has not forgotten it. Not long ago, one of Huang Tianba's favorite concubines caught a cold and asked me to see a doctor. My dog
When I wasn't paying attention, Quanzi added 10 yuan more rehmannia root in the medicine, Bai Lingshao added 10 yuan more, and also added borneol and astragalus into the medicine. Now it was a powerful combination.
The concubine couldn't bear the medicine and died that night. Huang Tianba took the medicine dregs but couldn't find any clues. My dog's anger was relieved, but Huang Tianba wouldn't let it go.
On that day, he sent people to smash our two storefronts on the street to pieces."
"This guy is really disgusting. He is making trouble with Tai Sui. When I get better, I will dig this bird's ancestral grave!"
"Originally, if you smash it, it will be smashed, and it's okay to settle the matter, but it just caused trouble. I learned that the state had not sent troops, but that the county had to recruit 8,000 troops. I thought this was a big deal, so I
I wanted to report back to the mountain, so I sent two store clerks to take the message, but they didn't come back. I had no choice but to go for a walk in the end, but I didn't expect..."
Shi Jin listened intently, and when he heard what he said was the answer to the strange feeling he had felt in those days, there was another twist in his words at this moment, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, and interrupted: "What didn't you expect?
"
"Unexpectedly, as soon as I left the west city gate and headed towards Shaohua Mountain, I was attacked by a group of people from behind, knocked unconscious and dragged away. When I woke up, I was already in the county jail, and my two
A store clerk was also imprisoned here. Not long after, I was taken out by the government officials and tortured to extract a confession. He didn't ask me what happened, but I listened and guessed...
There must be something wrong. On that day when he was smashing into the store, he accidentally found a page of letters that I had not burned before I came. It was the details of Zhu Wu, the second head of the family, who sent someone to get the medicine. So he secretly arranged it to get me out.
I will expose the witnesses and the physical evidence together and send them to the officials to ask for credit."
Shi Jin took a breath and said, "No wonder I haven't heard from you in the past few days."
"Then Magistrate Liu did not have the protection of the state, so he was very anxious, and he would be very happy to catch me. Then Magistrate Liu had a good plan in mind, and wanted to tell all the situation and arrangements on our mountain from my mouth.
Once he found out, he asked me to act as a trap to lure everyone to die. For this reason, he interrogated me twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon. After dinner, he did two more interrogations. At first, he still used gold, silver and beauty to lure me.
Seeing that they couldn't ask any questions, they tortured them one by one. To be honest, I resisted at first, but later on, after the severe torture was used, I..."
