"Yes, yes, as long as it can cure our mother, we will do whatever you say!"
Xu Kang followed closely behind.
"As long as I don't have to watch my mother suffer anymore, I will give you my life if you want it!"
"I understand your feelings very well. Please don't get excited, two generals! To be honest, your mother's condition is not that easy to cure, but if you have the chance, you can give it a try!"
Having said this, Wang Xiao raised his head, it was simple and clear.
"Platinum Tiger!"
The two looked at each other and sighed, with despair on their faces.
"Brother, we also know about the Platinum Tiger Medicine you mentioned, but this thing has a price but no market, and no one is selling it. Over the years, we have thought of all the ways we can think of, and tried all means.
I passed it, but if I really can’t get this kind of medicine, is there no other way?”
Just as Wang Xiao was about to speak, the old lady suddenly spoke.
"You still refuse to withdraw your troops, do you?"
Xu Jian and Xu Kang frowned.
"Mom, the doctor here is treating you. Don't talk about other things first!"
"I asked you to withdraw your troops immediately, do you hear me?"
"Mom, he knows your current situation, and then he calls you to put pressure on us! This shows that he doesn't care about your condition at all! Don't worry about our affairs!"
Xu Jian's mother suddenly coughed "cough, cough, cough". The two brothers were frightened by this cough. They immediately stepped forward to comfort her. After a cough, the old mother fell into a coma again because she was too tired.
.
Wang Xiao looked at all this and thought about his mother's situation.
"How often does she cough up blood now? Has she started coughing up black blood?"
The two people looked at each other and nodded. Now they had no doubts about Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao frowned.
"Two of you, please tell me, we can't let her get so emotional anymore. In her current situation, she will cough when she gets emotional, and if she coughs for a long time, her internal organs will be damaged. This is irreversible. I know a lot of things.
, I say it’s not convenient, but that’s the fact! I can help him temporarily
Stabilize the condition, but if the mood is always so agitated, it will be useless to stabilize it. It will only get worse. And in this state, to be honest, I don’t dare to treat her. I am afraid that something will really happen. I
There is no way to explain! I hope you two can understand my difficulties!"
The expressions on Xu Jian and Xu Kang's faces were very complicated. They looked at each other and walked out of the door.
"Our father deliberately used our mother to pressure us, trying to solve the problem in the City Lord's Mansion. He knows where our weaknesses are. He has always been like this over the years! It works every time!"
"I can't just ignore my mother. I have really surrendered to my mother. She is so devoted to my father. No matter what he does, I support him so much and obey his orders. Hey, what can I do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiao walked out of the room.
"First young master, second young master, madam asked you to go in, hurry up, don't listen to anything you say, you have to get out of bed!"
When the two heard this, they had no choice but to pat Wang Xiao on the shoulder.
"Don't leave yet. After we handle this matter, we will treat you to dinner tonight. Ouyang, you can stay too."
——————
Dinner time.
Xu Jian and Xu Kang personally hosted a banquet in honor of Wang Xiao.
The two chatted without going too far behind Wang Xiao and Ouyang Yuanhan's back.
They finally compromised on the matter regarding the City Lord's Mansion.
It's not because Xu Xiu compromised. As two filial sons, they had no choice but to compromise for the sake of their mother.
The attitude of the two people towards Wang Xiao also changed 360 degrees.
Xu Jian even took the initiative to pick up food for Wang Xiao, but the topic basically always revolved around his mother's illness.
After drinking for a while, Wang Xiao had something to say and asked immediately.
"Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, as far as I know, there is a beautiful mountainous area in the middle of Xiucheng, known as the Heavenly Storehouse of Wild Medicine!"
"It is said that there are no medicinal materials that cannot be found in Jinxiu Mountain! Xiucheng's medicinal material exports are also famous far and wide! As the highest authority in Xiucheng, do you still have medicine that cannot be found?"
"What you said is correct, but the platinum tiger is rare and rare. It is normal to find it. If we can find it, how can we still hide it?"
"Although I am not very old, I have learned traditional Chinese medicine from a young age. I have followed the master and went into the mountains to identify and pick various medicinal materials. I have a very good understanding of the growth environment of various medicines."
"I also know the living environment of many animals with extremely high medicinal value!"
"My master and I also specialize in the business of reselling medicinal materials! So I have a strong say in this aspect!"
"Although Jinxiu Mountain District is in the middle of Xiucheng and surrounded by Xiucheng, the current Xiucheng is not the former Xiucheng. Even during the nuclear war, a large part of Jinxiu Mountain District was affected by nuclear radiation, so that even within the mountainous area
The animals and plants have mutated, and now this part of the area is a restricted area, right?"
Xu Jian and Xu Kang nodded, and Wang Xiao continued.
"I am from Tacheng. Many years ago, my master and I went to Jinxiu Mountain Area several times. My master once told me personally that there must be platinum tigers in Jinxiu Mountain Area! Because he found traces of platinum tigers!"
When Xu Jian and Xu Kang heard this, they immediately raised their heads.
"When did this happen?"
"This is too early. It must have been more than ten years at least. It happened when I was a child!"
Wang Xiao said this and continued.
"Similarly, because of the Jinxiu Mountain area, there are many people in Xiucheng who are engaged in the business of selling medicinal materials. There are also many people who have taken root in the Jinxiu Mountain area all year round, picking medicinal materials or hunting animals, right?"
Xu Jian and Xu Kang continued to nod.
"After so many years and so many people, is it true that no one has seen the Platinum Tiger?"
"We really haven't heard about this."
"It's okay if you haven't heard of it. If I saw the Platinum Tiger, I wouldn't make it public. Who dares to make it public? This is a standard double-edged sword! If you don't do it, you may lose your life!"
"I will definitely hunt secretly, and then find a way to take action, and quietly make a fortune!"
Xu Jian and Xu Kang agreed with Wang Xiao's point of view, he continued.
"Then tell me, is there a possibility that someone has hunted the platinum tiger and secretly hid it or sold it secretly?"
"There is absolutely no point in hiding it. You can sell it secretly, or you can sell it to us. No one in the entire Xiu City will bid higher than us!"
Wang Xiao smiled.
"How do you know that no one bids higher than you? At most, no one dares to compete with you openly, but there will definitely be someone who secretly bids higher than you. There are many rich people in Xiucheng, right?"
"For example, I secretly knew that someone hunted the platinum tiger, and then I immediately found this person and bought the platinum tiger at a huge price! Then I blocked the news, and naturally you wouldn't know about it."
"Everyone knows your bid, so as long as I dare to buy it, the price will definitely be higher than yours!"
"He who sells tigers also wants to make more money, and I who buy tigers don't say anything, so the news just fell into obscurity and no one knew about it."
"Then why did he rob the Platinum Tiger? Is it just to make money? So he robbed it from us?"
"On the one hand, it may be for money, and on the other hand, what if there is a patient in my family who also needs Platinum Tiger Medicine? It is a matter of life and death. I cannot give this medicine to you, regardless of myself.
Family, right?”
When Xu Kang heard this, he spoke directly.
"What exactly do you want to express?"
"There must be a platinum tiger in Xiucheng, but you don't know it! It depends on who owns the tiger and whether it will make you rich!"
"Why are you so sure?"
"Because I believe in my master." Before Xu Jian and Xu Kang could speak, Wang Xiao continued, "I will also let you trust me. I don't even need to take action, I will ask my apprentice to temporarily maintain your mother's vital signs.
, if there is platinum tiger medicine, neither my apprentice nor I will be able to use it, only my master can save her!"
The apprentice that Wang Xiao mentioned was actually Gongshan. His own mother was treated by Gongshan at Zhongshan Hall and got better. The master he mentioned was naturally Gongga.
In this way, you can completely remove yourself and gain the trust of Xu Jian and Xu Kang.
As for why Wang Xiao did this, the reason was the same as before. He wanted to use Xu Jian and Xu Kang's help to investigate the thief.
Therefore, we must give them an honest reason to let them trust us, and then we arrange everything.
"Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, I suggest you conduct a thorough investigation to find out among all the businessmen in Xiucheng who have powerful backgrounds or have great wealth, in whose family someone is seriously ill and must use Platinum Tiger Medicine to cure it, or in other words, in whose family
Someone was seriously ill before, but suddenly recovered later."
"I want to visit each one one by one, especially those who were seriously ill before but suddenly recovered. How are they doing? I hope I can learn something useful and it will also be helpful to your mother!"
"What if you accidentally find the Baijinhu medicine guide? How many are there? Is it better than nothing?"
Xu Jian and Xu Kang immediately understood what Wang Xiao meant, and Xu Jian spoke immediately.
"Ouyang Yuanhan, from now on, you will cooperate with Sheriff Wumu to find targets that meet the conditions and visit them one by one to see if they can be of any help. In addition, continue to arrange for people to go to Jinxiu Mountain to look for the platinum tiger! Move both sides."
"Chief Ebony, can you please call your apprentice over first to help treat my mother? No matter what, at least let her suffer less!"
Gongshan had left Jincheng a long time ago because of the Zhou family's affairs, so now he can really come to Xiucheng to help.
Wang Xiao was confident and smiled slightly.
"Okay, young master, I will inform him right away..."
