First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 406
Zhu Biao pulled the cool towel down from his forehead and covered his eyes. The coolness penetrated into the brain along the eyeballs, and he sighed slightly.

Seeing that His Highness stopped talking, Liu An himself didn't dare to make any claims, so he could only retreat out wiping his tears, waiting for the Lang Zhong to arrive, while Zhu Biao himself was in a state of half-asleep and half-awake.

After a while, several guards of the government surrounded an old man with white beard and hair, and entered the room. The room was blocked from the light from the outside by a screen, so it looked a bit dark. The old man asked Liu An a few words about Zhu Biao. The eating and living conditions that came in, and the situation just now.

After everything was clear, the old man sat down beside the bed. Liu An lifted Bo Jin and was carefully pulled out of Zhu Biao's hand. After sitting down, the old man squinted his eyes and felt his pulse with one hand while stroking his beard with the other. Everyone was silent.

"The deficiency of the main pulse is mainly due to the deficiency of qi and blood or the deficiency of viscera. Your son has a good foundation, but recently it must be due to excessive worry, coupled with unacceptable climate and hard work, so there are some symptoms. I am waiting for the old man to prescribe two prescriptions for calming the nerves and invigorating the qi." Son, it will be good to eat more in the future."

Hearing this, Liu An bowed and said, "Please take a good look at the old man. I will accompany the son-in-law here on business under the order of the master. I really dare not be negligent. I will definitely offer you a generous consultation fee."

The old Langzhong didn't take it seriously either, he practiced medicine in Pingliang Mansion for many years, he often treated high-ranking officials and nobles, and he always had the same reaction, I was afraid that his diagnosis would be too fast and not fully trustworthy.

The old man came again with his kindness, and the people in the house felt more at ease. Liu An personally sent him out, and sent two guards from the government to accompany him back to grab the medicine.

Liu An was not in a hurry to go back to the house to wait on him. After a while, several government guards led another doctor over. The same process went through again. The two people had the same diagnosis, so Liu An felt relieved.

To be honest, if it wasn't for worrying about disturbing His Highness with frequent pulse calls, Liu An would have wished to call four or five doctors for diagnosis to make sure everything was safe.

After Zhu Biao drank the decoction in the afternoon, there was no obvious improvement. He was still groggy, but he felt better after getting up and eating at night.

After reluctantly listening to the reports from Chen Rongyan and others, he went back to bed and lay down again. In a trance, he suddenly remembered that Zhu Biao in history contracted a disease when he was ordered to inspect Shaanxi, and then died of illness...

Suddenly, he was covered in cold sweat. Even though he knew it was just a coincidence and his current illness was not serious, he still felt resistance in his heart, and some wanted to hurry back to Beijing.

He couldn't afford to die, he couldn't afford to die in Yu Guo Yu's family, he made up his mind to resolve this matter as soon as possible and then return to Beijing, and never set foot in the land of Shaanxi and Gansu in his lifetime!
I just passed the night in fear and irritability, and I don't know when I fell asleep. Although I was still a little groggy and tired after waking up the next day, my consciousness was clear, and I immediately called Chen Rongyan and others after drinking the soup for breakfast.

"What were you talking about last night?"

Chen Rongyan replied: "You are not here, and they also know that it is difficult to persuade me. The main thing is to eat and drink. Only Zhao Guangsheng secretly beat me a few words, hoping that I will be smarter and not hinder my son's future."

Zhu Biao looked at Chen Bingxian: "Is the food handover over?"

"If you go back to the son, they have transported all the food away, but they haven't given you the money. I feel that there is something wrong with it, but they don't dare to renege on the debt. They are all dignified. Don't say that they know that it belongs to His Royal Highness. It’s just that they shouldn’t dare to deny the Chen family’s food even if they have a general envoy.”

With a piece of candied fruit in his mouth, Zhu Biao said: "Courtesy first, soldiers later, it seems that I didn't attend the dinner last night, which made them quite dissatisfied. They think that I not only did not show face, but pretended to be sick. Wait, I will probably come soon." People informed that the batch of grain was seized by Wang Shijian."

Lure them with profit, move them with emotion, understand them with reason, and threaten them with threats. These are the necessary procedures to pull people into the water. They already took out the first three yesterday, and now is the last step. Let him submit.

It's just that they don't know whether they just want to take advantage of Chen Yunze's power to suppress Wang Shijian, or if they have a bigger conspiracy. After all, Wang Shijian is not a naked imperial envoy.

When the three of them were discussing, someone came outside to inform: "Report to the son, the Pingliang Tongjuan and some gentry masters are here to pay a visit. Would you like to come in?"

"Let's lead into the main hall."

The three of them looked at each other and then got up and walked out the door. A general judge would also be greeted. After all, none of the three of them had official positions, so they couldn't treat a local important official.

Walking to the front yard, the two groups of people happened to meet each other. After saluting each other, Li Tongpan looked at Zhu Biao's pale face and said with concern: "How is Mr. Chen? It's just that I didn't treat you well. I really shouldn't let you drink so much." Drink more."

Zhu Biao pointed sideways and said: "It's nothing serious, just drink the decoction for a few days. Come on, everyone, please come in and drink tea."

A group of people entered the main hall, Zhu Biao and Li Tongpan made some courteous exchanges, and then sat down at the main seat. After talking about the scene with a cup of tea, Li Tongpan said: "Just now I received the news that Mr. Chen Yun The food that came was seized by imperial envoy Wang, Zhao Tongpan went to ask for it but was kicked out, Wuyan came to see the young master, so he could only ask me to notify you."

Zhu Biao's face turned dark when he heard this, and his tone was not polite: "Then what you guys mean is that this batch of food is meat buns and dogs, and they never returned?"

"After all, the imperial court expressly forbids the private sale of grain in the disaster area, so Wang Shijian doesn't enter it, it's really..."

boom!
Zhu Biao slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Could it be possible that you really think of me as a bookworm? I don't care about the imperial envoys or what your plans are. The food was lost in your hands. You should give it to me." One tael of silver can't be missing, otherwise... hum!"

Li Tongpan stood up and said: "Mr. Chen misunderstood, no matter what the food is, the money will be delivered to you within three days, but it is a bit difficult to gather orphans without food. It’s not good, what do you think, Young Master?”

Zhu Biao's complexion improved when he heard the words, but his tone was still cold and said: "The nobler's errands are naturally done as beautifully as possible, but Qingyang has gathered a lot of orphans, and I can explain to the nobleman when I return to Beijing. Don't take me for a fool, Wang Shijian is Jane's imperial envoy, even if I'm not afraid of him, I won't cause you trouble for nothing."

Li Tongpan and the others' faces sank when they heard the words. They didn't expect Chen Yunze to be so transparent. It seemed that it was impossible to pull him into the boat with a little excitement. That's right. After all, he was from a wealthy family, let alone get The prince entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, but it was not that simple.
