Chapter 174 Playing with a Golden Needle

Cui Pu thinks things beautifully by himself.Unexpectedly, after returning to Cui's mansion and paying her respects to Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Cui, Mu Jiaojiao was too tired to stand on her feet.I went back to my room, but I washed my face and went to bed.

It just left him sitting on the edge of the bed, full of resentment towards the woman who had just aroused his interest.

This feeling of resentment lasted until the next morning.

When Mu Jiaojiao woke up in the morning, he found that Cui Pu's face was very ugly - of course, it was only aimed at her.She talked to him nicely, but he didn't pay any attention to it, unless there was a need to give a reply, he just dealt with it.

After breakfast, he got up directly: "I still have something to do, so I'll go out now and come back at night. You don't have to wait for me to come back for dinner at noon. Maybe you don't have to wait at night, maybe I'll eat outside."

"Aren't you coming back? My sister-in-law told me yesterday that the new crabs sent by Zhuangzi are not bad, and I plan to let the red beans make oranges stuffed with crabs tonight! Are you sure you don't want to come back to eat?" Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly asked.

A look of embarrassment flashed in Cui Pu's eyes.But he immediately nodded his head firmly: "I won't come back!"

"Okay then, I won't do this tonight, let us do it tomorrow." Mu Jiaojiao immediately said dejectedly.

Seeing this, Cui Pu finally became a little more cheerful.He snorted softly, "Just ask someone to cook whatever you want to eat, don't make trouble with your own body."

"Well, I see!" Hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao immediately showed a brilliant smile on his face.

Cui Pu snorted again, and took Xiaosi'er away together.

"Miss, you still have a way, just a few words can make your husband's mood clear!" Hong Dou praised quickly.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled and said: "It's not that I have a way, but that what he wants is my attitude. As long as I show it, he will be satisfied, and naturally he won't be angry."

After finishing speaking, he whispered to himself again: "Man, he is actually a big kid at this age, and many ideas are relatively naive. If you coax him more, he will be happy."

"Young lady is right, Mr. Lang is really a big boy. The maid was almost scared to death by his shock yesterday!" Hong Dou stuck out her tongue.Just talking about what happened yesterday, she couldn't help but think of the good things she destroyed at noon, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes became flustered.

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help pinching her cheeks: "Among those older children, our husband is already very good. It's only been a long time of tempering, and he has already grown so much. Yesterday in Baicao Hall Li's actions are remarkable. If this continues, this Baicao Hall will definitely not be able to keep him."

"Can't keep him? Then where else can he go?"

"Where are you going? I don't know, just let fate!" Mu Jiaojiao said with a shallow smile.

And Cui Pu, who had been pushed to the point of resignation by Mu Jiaojiao, went straight to Baicao Hall in West City after leaving the mansion.

There were too many people coming to the shop for consultation yesterday. If it wasn't for the fact that it was getting dark and the curfew was about to come, I'm afraid there would be more people coming.So everyone was busy until the end, but they only saw the patient's illness, but they didn't have time to do other things.

The shop opened this morning, and everyone got busy.Yaotong and the doctor sorted out yesterday's pulse case, while Cui Pu and the shopkeeper counted yesterday's account.

Maybe it was because I showed everyone that it was almost done yesterday, but not many people came to see the doctor today.Everyone quietly went about their work.In the afternoon, yesterday's account was settled.

"Mr. Liulang, one day yesterday, our shop gave away 260 ounces of medicine. Among them, five liang of ginseng, one liang of ambergris, three liang of deer antler, and other medicinal materials, totaling about three to four hundred catties." Hand over the sorted list to Cui Pu.

Cui Pu took it over, looked at it, and nodded: "Fortunately, in fact, what the common people suffer from is not a serious illness, and ordinary medicinal materials can be cured. These rare medicinal materials are not used much, but the ordinary medicinal materials are probably consumed. Yes, you remember to inform the Huang family in time to make up for it."

"Don't worry, Mr. Huang, the day before yesterday I had already greeted the master of the Huang family. He said that he would send a batch of medicinal materials over today. We will check the list at that time, and he will send someone to make up for what is missing. .”

"That's good." Cui Pu felt that their arrangement was very appropriate, and he had no room to criticize him, so he didn't say anything more.

After putting away the transcribed list, he stretched his waist, and planned to leave here, and then go to the Baicao Hall on Zhuque Street.

But when a person walks to the door, he doesn't want to be alone.

"Mr. Cui Liulang, you are here again!" The person who came was Hu San, the dark-faced man who came out to testify yesterday.

Cui Pu was stunned when he saw him, and quickly greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Hu Sanlang, why are you here? But why are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"My health is very good. I came to see you now because I have something to tell you." Hu Sandao approached him and asked in a low voice, "I wonder if Mr. Cui Liulang is free to come with me now?"

Seeing his mysterious appearance, Cui Pu was a little puzzled.Hu San said again: "It's about the incident that almost broke out in your shop yesterday afternoon. I caught a few people. I think Mr. Cui Liulang, you might want to ask them a few words."

Cui Pu was shocked immediately.

For yesterday's incident, he had already expected that someone secretly instigated it.It's just because those people are very cunning, hiding in the crowd without telling, and deliberately not showing their faces.If he forced people to go in and find them out, he was afraid that these people would yell and say that they were bullying others, and then they would smear the lintel of Baicao Hall, so he had to endure it.Later, Mu Jiaojiao and Peng Zhang cured the illnesses of the two children, and looking back, those people had already taken the opportunity to escape without leaving a trace.He really wanted to hold the two women down for questioning, but thinking about the behavior of the two at the beginning, it was also the master of the two who were not stingy, who knows what kind of trouble they can make?It was with great difficulty that he calmed down the matter, but he didn't want another incident.

So I thought, wait until today and ask someone to investigate slowly.But he didn't expect that this person had already helped him finish the matter before he finished his orders.

"Okay!" He nodded immediately, "Mr. Hu Sanlang, please lead the way."

Hu San was taken aback when he heard this: "Aren't you afraid that I'm lying to you?"

"I believe you are not that kind of person." Cui Pu said, "And my identity, don't you know? You say I am the gentleman of Ge Laofu, but I am just a bastard. If you really want to arrest me and threaten Ge Lao Mansion, I'm afraid my father won't care at all. He has so many sons, how could he care about me, who is not outstanding?"

Hu San immediately bowed his hand in admiration: "Mr. Cui Liulang is indeed an upright person, I did not misunderstand you! If so, then I did the right thing!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and said, "Mr. Cui Liulang, this way please!"

Cui Pu came out on horseback today, but Hu San came on foot.Cui Pu asked where he was going to take him, so he simply abandoned his horse and walked there with him.

The two of them walked for five squares before arriving at Guiyi Square specified by Hu San.After entering the square gate and walking northward for a cup of tea, the two finally stopped at the door of an inconspicuous adobe house.

Hu San stepped forward and knocked on the door three times, and immediately the door opened from the inside.A kid with bright eyes poked his head out: "Brother Hu San, you're back!"

Hu San nodded, and made a gesture of invitation to Cui Pu: "Cui Liulang, please come in."

Cui Pu nodded, then stepped in.

After entering the courtyard, he realized that the place was not very spacious, just a small courtyard with two entrances, and there were no more than five or six rooms inside. The rooms were also made of adobe, and the decorations inside were also very ordinary. It looked like an ordinary house.But at the first glance, he found six or seven tall and burly men standing in the yard.And as the two walked in, they saw many tall and powerful men.

Seeing these people, Xiao Si'er couldn't help being excited, and quickly jumped to Cui Pu's side to stand next to him. "Lang Jun..."

"This little gentleman is frightened by my brothers, right?" Hu San was not angry when he saw this, and said cheerfully, "These people are all my brothers, and they are all rangers. They are not bad people, just I am used to traveling around, and I have a bit of a gangster spirit on my body, this is the residence of our rangers in Chang'an City. The reason why we were able to catch those guys so quickly today is also thanks to them."

When Cui Pu heard this, his eyes sparkled immediately.

Ranger too!The characters he yearned for since he was a child, he never expected to see so many people in one go today!

Thinking of this, he hastily bowed his hands and greeted them.

Those rough men probably didn't expect that such a handsome and gentle young man like him would not be afraid to see them, but greeted them with a smile on his face, and all of them couldn't help but think highly of him, and some people gave a rough salute on the spot Returned it.

Seeing Cui Pu, he became more and more happy.

Even if there is no progress in that case today, just seeing so many rangers is enough for him to walk far away to make such a trip!

As Hu San arrived at the northwest corner of the courtyard, Hu San pushed open a door: "I arrested almost all those who hid in the crowd yesterday to sow discord, Mr. Cui Liu, go in and interrogate!"

Cui Pu raised his foot to go in, and saw four people tied up and thrown inside.Seeing them come in, the four of them immediately showed panic on their faces.

After seeing Cui Pu's face clearly, they became more and more frightened.One person hurriedly yelled: "What are you doing? You have kidnapped someone here for no reason. Even if you are the lord of Ge Lao Mansion, you shouldn't have acted like this!"

"Oh, you actually know my identity?" Cui Pu walked towards him immediately upon hearing this.

The man's eyes flashed. "How come I don't know you? Mr. Liulang from Cui Ge's old mansion is now the most popular person in Chang'an City. Yesterday, the Baicao Hall in your West City gave free medicines to the common people. I happened to be there too. I saw you. You." As he spoke, he made an appearance filled with righteous indignation, "I never expected that you are such a duplicity. On the surface, you are magnanimous, respecting and loving the people, but in private, you don't say anything. Out of nowhere, we got someone to tie us up here! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sue you in the government?”

"Stop talking nonsense, kid! I was the one who kidnapped you, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Cui Liulang!" Hu San immediately said.

The man gave him a sideways look. "You are loyal. But, do you think I am stupid, who doesn't know that you are in the same group?"

"You!" Hu San was furious.Cui Pu hurriedly persuaded, "Brother Hu San, don't fall for his aggressive tactics. This kid is very shrewd, and he speaks well, which shows that he is not an ordinary person. It takes a little difficulty to pry his mouth open, so you hand him over to him." Give it to me."

When Hu San heard it, he suddenly felt reasonable, and nodded quickly: "Mr. Cui Liulang, you are right. This kid is really smart. Didn't I almost fall for his tricks yesterday? I don't care about this person. You just have to interrogate him. Watch here for you!"

Cui Pu nodded. "Then there will be Brother Laohu."

Then he turned his head and smiled at this gangster: "Tell me, which family are you from?"

"Mr. Cui Liulang, I don't understand what you are talking about!" The man's eyeballs rolled around a few times, and he immediately turned his head, looking like he would rather die than surrender.

Cui Pu twitched the corner of his mouth. "Don't tell me? Okay, I know." Then he asked the remaining three people, and all three people insisted that they didn't know anything.

"Don't tell me? That's fine!" Cui Pu nodded, and pulled out a golden needle casually, "Do you know what this is?"

There was another panic in the eyes of several people.Cui Pu smiled and said, "This is called a gold needle, and it is used by doctors to give acupuncture to patients. My wife is the best at it. I have been married to her for so long, and I have learned a little bit from her. Now I am worried that no one will give it to me. It's time to practice your hands. Since your bones are so hard, you must be fine if I prick you a few times, right?"

After displaying the gold needles in front of everyone, he put on a show and said, "But don't worry, I will pierce it carefully, and I will definitely not leave any traces on you, and then others will definitely not know what I have done to you! "

While talking, he pressed the corner of the first person's eye with a wicked smile: "Well, I remember my wife said that there are many acupuncture points on the human head. This is a good place!"

"You...what do you want to do?" Seeing the sharp and thin golden needles coming towards his head, the man turned pale with fright, and writhed desperately.

Cui Pu couldn't hold him back, so he turned around and said, "Brother Hu San, can you do me a favor?"

"No problem!" Hu San immediately came over, grabbed the man's arm, pulled it behind him with a snap, and squeezed his shoulder with one hand, the man let out a cry of pain, and immediately stopped moving.

"Isn't it right to do this earlier?" Cui Pu said with a smile, and pointed the needle tip at the acupuncture point again, "I'm really going to stick it in, are you ready?"

How could he be prepared for such a thing?

The man was so frightened that he was about to cry.Want to struggle, struggle not move.I wanted to scream, but found that my mouth was out of my control at all!

Just like that, he watched helplessly as the golden needle in Cui Pu's hand pierced into a certain part of his head, and twisted it in bit by bit.After a short meeting, most of the five-inch golden needles had been sunk.

When the other people saw it, they couldn't help but gasped - according to how to tie it, his head wouldn't be pierced, right?
"Okay!" At this moment, Cui Pu withdrew his hand and said to Hu San, "Brother Hu San, please kick him in the leg."

Hu San didn't say anything, just raised his foot and kicked.

The person immediately fell to the ground with a plop, but did not cry out.

"what--"

After falling down for a while, he finally cried out, beating his legs desperately with both hands: "My leg! My leg... can't move!"
