If he wanted to enter Youzhou, he needed to be recommended by someone with close connections. In order not to cause trouble to his subordinates, Zhang Xiaowu decided to go directly to the people in the palace. Although there were many people in the palace of Hejian who could recognize him, there were only three people who could keep the secret.
They are Gu Ruoxi, Yunyan and Mangzhong.
Zhang Xiaowu inquired that after he "drowned" in the sea, Gu Ruoxi opened a medical clinic in the empty courtyard behind the palace, specializing in training female doctors and helping women treat diseases, which also made Youzhou the only one in the Holy Han Empire.
The city where women's medical clinics were opened. Gu Ruoxi was originally in Saibei
I often like to study medicine, especially anatomy, and even delve deeply into surgical sutures. However, it is obviously difficult to enter Youzhou through the women's medical clinic. Firstly, I am a male, and secondly, there is only one female, Gu Qingxi, who is still alive and kicking.
She is very healthy, otherwise she should be disabled...
Although Mrs. Yunyan was born in a brothel, as a Qing courthouse, she always liked poetry and poetry. It was because she plagiarized a poem that she was impressed by it. Since marrying the Queen of Hejian, Yunyan has stopped showing up and devoted herself to raising his adopted daughter.
Zhang Anan acts the most low-key.
Finally, there is the chubby girl, the housekeeper Mang Zhong. She loves all kinds of food, especially hanging out at the Dongliu Lane Food Street in Lucheng Port, almost once a month. Zhang Xiaowu’s plan is to use food to attract Mang Zhong to get to know him.
, but does not alarm others.
gourmet food?
What delicacies can impress Mang Zhong?
Need to win by surprise!
Zhang Xiaowu decided to take a closer look at the Dongliu Lane Food Street to see what delicacies he could "invent" for future generations. After hearing this, Gu Qingxi and Ying Geer were eager to try it, and the three of them visited the food street for a few days.
Queen, the "surprise victory" failed, and the three of them got fat instead.
"Fortunately, there is still enough time." Zhang Xiaowu comforted himself.
On this day, Miss Ji came over and said anxiously: "Brother Awu, my eldest brother has been kidnapped."
Miss Ji had bad eyesight and found them on the road like a blind man. Zhang Xiaowu judged that something big must have happened and asked quickly: "Has he been kidnapped? Has he been extorted?"
Miss Ji said: "I don't know what happened. My brother's men said that he and others were tied up by Ruyi Gambling House and they asked us to spend money to redeem them, otherwise they would be beaten to death."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Does your brother like to gamble?"
"My brother never gambles. He just went with his friends and was innocently implicated."
"Take me there." Zhang Xiaowu hesitated and said, "Can you see it with your eyes?"
"I know where it is." Miss Ji said firmly.
As soon as the four people entered the gambling house, they saw two groups of people confronting each other. One group was the thugs of the casino, and the other group was the postmen of the inn.
Although the postmen are public servants, the owners who run the casinos also have a strong background, so they are not afraid of the postmen. On the contrary, the postmen's backers are only a layer of official clothes, and they are worried that the official clothes will be taken off if something goes wrong.
The boss of the casino was a fat man. He slapped the table arrogantly and said, "If you don't come up with five thousand taels of silver today, you won't be able to take anyone away."
Although the postmen had a lot of salary and external income, they could not afford five thousand taels of silver at once. Zhang Xiaowu also frowned. Calculated based on purchasing power, five thousand taels of silver is approximately equivalent to 1.25 million yuan. Two thousand taels of silver.
How could a dozen postmen get so much money?
The postmen naturally refused, so they also pounded the table and shouted: "If you don't let me go today, you will have to pay five thousand taels of silver. Otherwise, if this matter is not over, we will fight you. Gamblers, don't even think about it."
Come in and play.”
"You're being a rogue, right?"
"Who acted rogue first?"
"You are still young to play rogue with us!"
When the four of them walked into Ruyi Casino, Miss Ji led the way. Both parties saw them at the same time, especially when they saw the woman leading the way walking straight towards the casino thugs, they became suspicious. Suddenly, Ji Xianghai met.
The familiar postman recognized the woman as his sister Ji, who had a bad eyesight, and hurriedly shouted: "Little sister Ji, little sister Ji, this way, we are here, there are bad people over there! You are going the wrong way.
The direction.”
Miss Ji hurriedly turned around and came over and said, "This brother is..."
"I am Long Lishu. Previously, your brother and I entered the inn to work in the same group. Your eldest brother and I were hunting fish at the beach, and then a group of us went to your house to eat fish. You also said that my surname is Long, and I am the same as the Dragon King.
Do you remember that this family is able to hunt so many fish?" said the postman.
Miss Ji squinted her eyes and looked carefully, and said hurriedly: "It turns out to be Brother Long. Of course I remember it, but I just didn't see it clearly."
"..." Long Lishu said in his heart that it doesn't matter if you didn't see me clearly, but you almost stood behind your opponent, so he said: "Little sister Ji, what are you doing here? I don't need you to help me here. Don't worry.
, we will definitely rescue your eldest brother and others. When we start taking action later, you'd better run away first, lest we have to send people to take care of you."
Miss Ji said: "Brother Long, I'm here to reason, not to fight. Let me introduce to you. This is me... My brother Xiao Wu, he is a scholar and the best at reasoning. I asked him to follow
The other party should be reasonable." She gestured to Zhang Xiaowu with her hand, and everyone looked over. Zhang Xiaowu smiled awkwardly and bowed his hands to everyone.
Everyone took a breath of air. This scholar... was so strong. Everyone knew that Ji Xianghai's fiancé Ye Wu passed away due to illness. Ji Xianghai found someone to lie to his sister, but they had never seen the liar himself. Now it was the first time.
When they met, everyone said cooperatively: "Since you are one of our own, it's easy to talk about it. Xiao Wu, you are a scholar. You can talk to them carefully, and they will not dare to touch you."
Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly said: "Everyone, what is going on?"
Long Lishu stepped forward and explained in detail that it turned out that not only Ji Xianghai was kidnapped, but also six other postmen, including Long Lishu's Wu Commander Ma Fang and Chief Guo Bin.
The Sixth Post Station at Lucheng Port is referred to as Liuyi. Generally, the post station only has one team, but Sixth Post is a large station with 100 people. There are 80 male postmen and 20 female postmen, divided into five teams. Postmaster
Luo Xingnai was transferred to the rank of Colonel in the Qinglong Army. After entering the post camp, he stepped back one level and became the Commander of the Captain. This person promoted five subordinates in the original army to serve as Commander and Commander respectively, and Guo Bin was one of them.
Guo Bin liked to gamble when he was in the army, but his nature was still hard to change after entering the post camp. Today, they took turns to take a break, so they used the reason that Ji Xianghai's sister was recovering from illness to treat him.
After everyone was drunk, Guo Bin insisted on taking everyone to Ruyi Casino to play for money. Maybe because of his good luck, Guo Bin and his party won money one after another, which aroused the suspicion of the casino dealer. So a dealer secretly checked and found that Guo Bin and his party were among the people.
Someone really cheated, so they tied up all seven of them and asked Liuyi to spend money to redeem them.
Zhang Xiaowu said: "If they say cheating, then they are cheating? I want to ask myself if there is such a thing. If there is such a thing, the fault lies here. If there is no such thing, then they are making trouble unreasonably."
Long Lishu hurriedly pulled him and said in a low voice: "It is true." Seeing Zhang Xiaowu's surprise, he explained with a wry smile: "Ma Fang, the brother-in-law of Guo Bin, the commander of the Dingshi team, is also the team leader of Ji Xianghai. This man usually gambles.
Poor quality, loves to cheat. But Ma Fang relies on cheating to win
He used the money to treat everyone to dinner, but he didn't keep any money. Usually when everyone saw him like this, it was hard to say anything, but they didn't expect that he fell into trouble at Ruyi Gambling House this time. Ji Xianghai was also implicated because of this.
