Xiangping City is the capital of Liaodong County. Over the years, it has been under the control of the Gongsun Family, the largest family in Liaodong. And Gongsun Du, the current head of the Gongsun Family, is not an ordinary person. Although Liaodong is located in the far east,
However, under the governance of Gongsun Du, Xiangping City became unusually prosperous.
However, compared to the liveliness and prosperity in Xiangping City, the atmosphere in the Liaodong Hou Mansion located in the center of Xiangping City is extremely depressing. The Lord of Liaodong, the head of the Gongsun family, Liaodong Hou Gongsun Du, has been ill in bed since the year before last, and his health
It has never been better. Especially in the recent period, Gongsun Du's condition seems to have worsened. All the doctors who went to treat Gongsun Du were imprisoned by Gongsun Du's eldest son, Gongsun Kang. All the servants in the palace were imprisoned.
Rumors began to spread that Gongsun Du might be dead soon!
In the backyard of the Liaodong Hou Mansion, in the courtyard where Gongsun Du lives, Gongsun Du's eldest son Gongsun Kang is standing in the middle of the courtyard with a gloomy face, looking at the closed door of the wing in front. Around the courtyard, people are standing.
The fully armed sergeants, let alone human beings, could not even fly in. Gongsun Kang had a sullen face and did not speak, while the surrounding sergeants also had straight faces and the spear heads in their hands.
There was a formidable cold light flashing, and a tense atmosphere filled the entire courtyard.
After about half an hour, the door creaked, and a doctor walked out of the wing with a pale face. When he heard the door ringing, Gongsun Kang still looked at him expectantly.
After entering the room door, Gongsun Kang saw the doctor's pale face, his face immediately darkened again, and he snorted coldly.
Hearing Gongsun Kang's cold snort, the doctor immediately shuddered. He knew very well what consequences he would face next, but the problem was that the doctor had no way to save himself.
He walked tremblingly in front of Gongsun Kang. Gongsun Kang asked coldly: "How is it? Mr. Li! How is my father's condition?"
"This, this, this..." The doctor hesitated for a long time, but did not say a complete sentence. Seeing the growing coldness on Gongsun Kang's face, the doctor couldn't help but shudder, and finally became strong
He had the courage to say: "Master! The villain is incompetent. The villain is indeed powerless to deal with the disease of the Marquis!"
"Humph!" Although he knew this would be the answer when he saw the doctor's expression at first, when Gongsun Kang heard this answer with his own ears, his face was still full of disappointment. Soon, this disappointment turned into
Angry, Gongsun Kanghan made a face, waved his hand, and said: "Come here! Drag him down! Put him in prison! If anything happens to my father, I want all these quack doctors to be buried with him!"
After hearing Gongsun Kang's order, the sergeants on the left and right immediately stepped forward, directly picked up the doctor who had collapsed to the ground with fear, and dragged him out without saying a word. The doctor hurriedly struggled and said:
Gongsun Kang shouted: "Master! Master, please spare your life! Although the villain cannot cure, he knows that there is someone in the world who can cure the disease of the Marquis! Zhang Ji! The miracle doctor Zhang Ji!"
After hearing the doctor's words, Gongsun Kang waved his hands impatiently and shouted: "Drag him down quickly!" Looking at the figure of the doctor being dragged down, and the miserable cry
Gongsun Kang was getting more and more irritable. This was not the first doctor to recommend the miracle doctor Zhang Ji to him, but the problem was that there was almost no difference whether the suggestion was made or not! The miracle doctor Zhang Ji was certainly capable.
Awesome, even Gongsun Kang who was far away in Liaodong had heard of this! But the problem is that now Zhang Ji is the imperial physician of Luo Yang, the lord of Western Qin, far away in Chang'an! Not to mention whether Zhang Ji is willing to come to Liaodong to serve as a doctor
Even if he wanted to be treated by Gongsun Du, by the time he arrived all the way from Chang'an, it would be too late!
With a long sigh, Gongsun Kang did not enter the wing to see what his father meant. He turned to the maids and servants who were waiting carefully and shouted: "Take good care of me! If anything goes wrong! You are the only one I will ask!" Those maids and servants were waiting carefully.
Wherever the servants dared to say anything, they all knelt on the ground and nodded in agreement.
Gongsun Kang didn't bother to talk anymore, and with a gloomy face, he led the sergeants out of the backyard. After walking for a while, Gongsun Kang seemed to have just remembered, and without looking back he shouted to the sergeants behind him: "Second Young Master
Where are you now?"
"Uh!" The sergeant hesitated for a moment, but quickly replied: "Master Qi! The second master spent the night at Qifeng Tower in the city last night, and he hasn't come back yet!" The so-called Qifeng Tower is
The most famous Goulan Courtyard in Xiangping City. Apparently Gongsun Kang and the second young master mentioned by the sergeant are enjoying themselves in Goulan Courtyard right now!
"Humph!" Gongsun Kang snorted coldly, but if someone were in front of him at this moment, he could see a hint of joy flashing through Gongsun Kang's eyes. However, Gongsun Kang's tone was full of chill, loudly
He yelled: "That's unreasonable! My father is seriously ill, and this guy actually dares to stay overnight in Goulan? It's really too presumptuous! Take a few of you, go to Qifeng Tower now, and bring that bastard back to me!"
"Here!" Although Gongsun Kang has not yet ascended the throne as Marquis of Liaodong, since Gongsun Du became seriously ill, Gongsun Kang has been handling matters in Liaodong on Gongsun Du's behalf. As long as Gongsun Kang's orders are not too outrageous, these sergeants will obey them.
After watching the sergeants leave, a flash of joy flashed in Gongsun Kang's eyes, but it was only fleeting. Then he snorted coldly, waved his fist vigorously, and shouted: "It's true that mud can't hold up a wall!
"After saying that, Gongsun Kang also turned around and walked towards the study. There were still many government affairs that needed Gongsun Kang to deal with in the study.
"Report!" At this moment, another sergeant quickly ran up to Gongsun Kang, knelt down and bowed down to Gongsun Kang, clasped his fists and shouted: "Young Master! There is someone outside the house asking to see you!"
Gongsun Kang's brows immediately furrowed. How could someone come to visit him at this time? Don't you know that Gongsun Du is seriously ill and cannot see guests? Gongsun Kang originally wanted to ask the sergeant to blow him away, but his heart moved.
, but asked: "Do you know who came to visit?"
The sergeant replied honestly: "When I got back to the eldest son, he claimed to be from Xuantu City! His surname is Guan, his name is Guan Ning! He is an old man in his fifties or sixties!"
"Guan Ning!" Gongsun Kang was stunned immediately, and then his face showed a look of ecstasy, and he quickly shouted to the sergeant: "Then why are you still standing here? Why don't you hurry up and give him to him?"
Please come in! Uh! No! I should go out to greet you!" With that said, Gongsun Kang strode towards the gate of the Marquis Mansion!
It’s no wonder that Gongsun Kang was so excited. He was the famous scholar Guan Ning! His father, Gongsun Du, had spent more than ten years failing to make Guan Ning loyal. Now Guan Ning actually came to his door. How could Gongsun Kang not?
I'm so happy! If Guan Ning can become an official with his own efforts, it will be of great help to Gongsun Kang's reputation!
Even though Gongsun Kang was so angry about Gongsun Du's illness just now, in fact Gongsun Kang didn't really care about Gongsun Du's life and death. It's just that the situation in Liaodong is a bit delicate now. If Gongsun Du dies of illness soon, Gongsun Kang wants to take over.
There are still some difficulties in the huge Liaodong. Therefore, Gongsun Kang must make full preparations for taking over Liaodong by leveraging Gongsun Du's prestige while Gongsun Du is still alive. Because of this, Gongsun Kang will keep looking for famous doctors.
, just to hang up Gongsun Du!
Soon, Gongsun Kang led a group of sergeants directly to the gate of the Hou Mansion. Gongsun Kang saw several people standing outside the door at a glance. The leader was wearing white clothes and a white hat. It was Guan Ning, a famous scholar! At that time, Gongsun Kang
Kang once followed Gongsun Du to a banquet with Guan Ning in Xuantu City, so he and Guan Ning had a chance encounter. When he saw that it was indeed Guan Ning, Gongsun Kang was so happy! He immediately made three moves at the same time.
In two steps, he walked directly in front of Guan Ning. He bowed to Guan Ning and said, "I have seen Mr. Guan! This time Mr. Guan comes to Xiangping, he should send someone to inform me so that he can go and greet me."
That’s right!”
For Guan Ning, Gongsun Kang gave enough face. He kept calling himself "boy", which was equivalent to treating himself as Guan Ning's descendant. As the future master of Liaodong, Gongsun Kang did this, which can be regarded as a courtesy and virtuous corporal. And Guan
Ning's face also showed a look of emotion, and he hurriedly said to Gongsun Kang: "Young Master, you are so polite! The little old man is just a white man, how dare you deserve such courtesy from the First Master?"
"Deserve it! Deserve it!" Gongsun Kang became even more happy when he saw Guan Ning's expression. He said a few words to Guan Ning, and then made a gesture of invitation on one side of his body.
He said to Guan Ning: "Sir, being able to come to the Hou Mansion really makes the Hou Mansion shine! Sir! Please come in!"
Guan Ning and Gongsun Kang were polite to each other several times, and no longer tried to evade, they walked into the Hou Mansion side by side with Gongsun Kang. As soon as they walked in, they heard a shout from behind: "Stop!
"
Guan Ning and Gongsun Kang looked back, but it turned out that several of the entourage brought by Guan Ning were stopped by the sergeants at the door. Guan Ning did not say anything, but just glanced at Gongsun Kang, who immediately
With a sullen face, he yelled at the sergeants: "You bastards! Have you blinded your dog eyes? How dare you even stop Mr. Guan's entourage? Why don't you let me go quickly!" Gongsun Kang was afraid that Guan Ning would be killed.
I was so annoyed that Guan Ning finally came to Xiangping. If he was angry and ran away again, wouldn't Gongsun Kang regret it to death! Gongsun Kang now wants to take over Liaodong smoothly, but he is counting on Guan Ning's help!
