The doctor suddenly felt that the tripod compass was not as simple as Ye Shen said, so he slowly bent down and looked inside the compass.
A strong sea of qi floated erratically in the compass. In order to find out the reason, the doctor put the compass on the table and looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass.
Not long after, the doctor suddenly discovered that there was a very obvious small hole next to the compass needle. Without a magnifying glass, other people would not be able to find it even in their lifetime.
So he didn't think much, and gently placed his hand above the small hole. But at this moment, several sudden light beams were thrown at the doctor's head. The dazzling light made the doctor dizzy, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The doctor felt confused and shook his head: "Huh, what a ghost. The things in Haotian Pavilion are really incomprehensible."
Then he turned around and walked towards the back room.
A few hours ago, the doctor had just treated the wound on Su Xinghe's abdomen, and it should be fine now. But when the doctor got close to Su Xinghe's body, he discovered that not only was the wound intact, but the entire person was in better condition than before.
There were so many good things. He stood next to Su Xinghe in disbelief and frowned: "Does this guy's body have the ability to heal itself?"
Boom!
Boom!
Just when the doctor was confused, there was another knock on the door outside.
Thinking it was Ye Shen again, the doctor walked to the door impatiently: "Whether you are done or not, I have told you to leave me alone to treat him. If you still do this, I will not treat your brother's disease!
"
Boom, boom, boom!
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, the knock on the door became louder. The doctor opened the door angrily and was about to curse angrily. When he looked up, he found that it was not Ye Shen who came to see him, but two soldiers.
The doctor was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Haha, what do you two want?"
One of the soldiers said very seriously: "The mayor of Shiqiao Town, his daughter will get married in a few days, and everyone in Shiqiao Town is invited to attend the banquet at the town prince's palace! I would like to come here to inform you."
Everyone in the town knows that the owner of Shiqiao Town has been oppressing the residents of the town for a long time. The residents of the town dare not speak out but are helpless because there is no one outside of Shiqiao Town except Prince Ye's Mansion.
, is surrounded by wilderness, and there are endless levels of wild beasts. There are only two ways to survive. One is to continue living in Shiqiao Town, and the other is to go to Ye Wang's Mansion. But going to Ye Wang's Mansion was fine in the past few years. In recent years, it was okay.
And because there were so many people going there, Prince Ye's Mansion stipulated that only those who cultivated Qi could move in smoothly, and ordinary people would be kicked out if they saw it.
There was no other way, so the people in Shiqiao Town had no choice but to endure hardships and continue to live in Shiqiao Town, which made the town owner of Shiqiao Town even more unscrupulous.
When the doctor heard that it was the mayor of the town, his face became extremely ugly.
"Oh, it turns out that's what happened. It may disappoint you two. I have to treat a patient these days, and it's difficult for me to spare my time to attend the mayor's banquet. Please tell me about the mayor's good intentions."
The doctor's words surprised the two soldiers. One soldier said softly to the doctor: "Doctor, everyone in this town knows that no one dares to refuse the mayor's words. If the two of us go back and report the truth, what will be the consequences? You
It should be clear."
As he spoke, the soldier opened his palms in front of the doctor.
The doctor knew very well that he was asking for a fee. The doctor glanced dismissively, and then said with a smile: "Two officials, you also know the economic conditions of Shiqiao Town. It is not so much that the people in Shiqiao Town are poor.
I'm down and out. It's better to say that I'm completely destitute after being plundered by you. Where do I get the money? Even the medical treatment for others these days is almost free. I really don't have any extra money. Please leave me.
Here it is.”
After hearing this, the two soldiers were very embarrassed. They looked around and then said to the doctor: "Think about it. If you let the town leader know that you don't give him face, you can decide what will happen. Let's go!"
Then the two soldiers turned around and went to another house.
The doctor closed the door angrily and said to himself angrily: "Humph, what a bunch of bastards. If it weren't for having nowhere to go, do you think I would stay in this miserable place?"
Afterwards, the two soldiers kept visiting and finally got some silver coins.
"I said that the most famous tavern in our town is in front of us. Every time the town owner has something to do, he will ask us to ask for some money. How about we ask for more later and treat it as our private money?"
After hearing this, one of the soldiers nodded happily and said: "This is what I thought. Most of the guests in this tavern are guests from outside. There will definitely be no shortage of silver, so let's do it!"
After that, the two people walked to the door of the tavern and looked around, but found that the door of the tavern was closed.
They looked at each other and said, "Why is this tavern not open for business? Could it be that they heard some rumors and knew that we were coming, so they closed early?"
After saying that, the two of them kept knocking on the door regardless of the situation.
Ye Rou had just come back. Before she could calm down, she heard a knock on the door. She was very angry. When she opened the door, she saw two soldiers in official attire. Her heart tightened and she secretly wondered if Shangguan Hu's death had shocked the town.
officers and soldiers? So he asked with a smile: "I wonder what happened to you two officers?"
The soldier said unceremoniously: "Humph, your tavern is open for business, but why is it closed today? Did you do something you don't want people to know about? The mayor of the town will prepare for his daughter's marriage in a few days, so he invited the town to a banquet.
The residents above are going to have a banquet. If we tell what happened today, we don’t know what the town owner will think."
Before the soldier finished speaking, Ye Rou quickly handed over the money and said with a smile: "Hey, sir, it's not because the shopkeeper is sick and feels unwell. He has only closed the door for a few hours. Don't let it happen."
The mayor knows that you two should do well and do well."
The soldier didn't expect that he could cheat the silver coins so easily. Seeing such a silly and sweet woman, he became even more ambitious, so he spread his palms again and said with a smile: "You are still sensible in the tavern, but now the town police officer
You are well aware of the current situation. The economy is in recession and is getting worse day by day. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Relying on state funding for relief is probably out of reach. Why not give the town some more support? What do you think?"
Seeing how greedy the two of them were, Ye Rou really wanted to punch them, but she thought it was better to do less than to do more, so she decided to forget it. Just as she was about to take out her pocket again, Ye Shen walked out behind her.
"You two villains, just because you are officials in the town, can you defraud money without authorization? Is there any royal method? No wonder so many outsiders came to Prince Ye's Mansion in the past few years. I didn't expect that they were all forced by you people.
of!"
"She has already given you money just now. If you push further, don't blame the long sword in my hand for not having eyes!"
After hearing this, the soldiers looked into the tavern and saw that he was a tall young man. He immediately softened and said to Ye Rou: "Huh, you guys... you just wait and see. Let's see how the town owner handles it."
You! Huh!”
As soon as the words fell, the two soldiers ran away in despair. This chapter has been completed!
