Back Off, Let Me Come

Zang Hui and Dong Dao did not expect to see Qi Shan at the medical office.

Asked: "But Jun Qiao is not feeling well?"

Although Dong Dao accepted Qi Miao as his disciple, he had not had much contact with Qi Shan in the past few years. Firstly, Qi Shan was busy, and secondly, he was busy too. There are so many sick people in the world, it’s hard to see them all. It is difficult for a doctor to find time to take care of his disciples as he practices and has to make medical visits. How can he still have the energy to interact with the parents of his students? I pray that as a literary scholar, I will not get sick throughout the year.

He is really a rare visitor to the Medical Department.

Qi Shan said: "It's not because of Jun Qiao."

Dong Dao suddenly became energetic and suppressed the urge to reach out his hand to feel Qi Shan's pulse: "Is Qi Xiang feeling unwell?"

This is an extremely rare and precious case!

Qishan shook his head again: "No, it's it."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and took out Su Shang and the kitten Su Shang had brought from his sleeves. The raised arc of Dong Dao's lips froze in half. He looked at Su Shang, who also looked at him with watery eyes. One cat and one cat looked at each other in confusion. The other cat still didn't know what was going on and stretched out its paws to explore the rope tassel on Qi Shan's wrist. Dong Dao suddenly understood the meaning of praying for kindness and was embarrassed.

Said: "Could Xiang Xiang be here to entertain me?"

Qishan hurriedly explained to Dong Dao: "No, no, I came here sincerely to seek medical treatment today. Please show Su Shang a look."

Dong Dao was about to walk away.

So what if praying for good is an order from the Zhongshu?

He didn't want to lose face by running here to amuse himself.

But after hearing the sincerity and retention in Qi Shan's words, Dong Dao stopped walking and looked sideways at Su Shang and Mao Mao.

Although he and Qi Shan had less contact in the past few years, he also knew that Qi Zhongshu had a bad reputation in his early years. It was strange that such a person would give in to a cat and explain himself. Just for this reason, Dong Dao didn't mind being a veterinarian to treat cats.

Dong Dao took a step back.

There was a hint of inquiring curiosity on the young face.

He asked: "Which one is sick? Or are they both sick?"

Dong Dao glanced at the sun outside the medical office and suddenly found a blind spot - at this spot, wasn't the previous court meeting held? As Zhongshu Ling, should Qi Xiang appear here? Prayer, it’s impossible to miss the opportunity to attend court just to treat a cat?

There was a murmur in his heart.

Qi Shan raised Su Shang's front paw.

He said: "It's Su Shang. The chef said that he has no appetite these days. His food intake is 70 to 80% less than usual. He also vomits frequently. He spends less time awake and more time sleeping."

He raised his hand to separate the kitten that wanted to get close to Su Shang, so that Dong Dao could give Su Shang a diagnosis. The kitten didn't recognize strangers at all. It held his fingers with its two front paws and tilted its head. I just want to stuff it in my mouth. The force on the little cat was very light, it only hurt slightly, and Qishan didn't stop him. All his attention was on Su Shang: "Does Mr. Dong have a way to extend its life?"

Dong Dao listened and examined Su Shang's body.

Look through the hair, check the paws, look at the nose, look at the ears, look at the teeth, even the little chrysanthemum.

He said: "This cat is not young."

Qi Shan nodded: "Eleven years old, almost twelve years old."

Dong Dao knew the crux of the matter as soon as he heard this.

It's rare to hear of someone's cat living so many years.

And Su Shang is an out-and-out old cat.

It was obvious from every aspect that this old cat was well taken care of. You must know that older cats don’t have much energy to take care of their fur. Over time, their hair becomes darker and becomes tangled in strands. Dirt hides under the fur, making them look sloppy.

Su Shang was raised with dignity and respect, and although his hair was not as shiny and smooth as when he was young, it was still clean and thick.

This also proves that——

Su Shang really has a heart for praying for kindness.

Qi Shan worriedly said, "But there is an insect disease?"

If it is an insect disease, you need to prescribe some insecticide soup.

"Don't be anxious. You'll know after I check it inside and out." Dong Dao checked Su Shang's appearance and found nothing wrong. He condensed Qi on his fingertips, followed the meridians and traveled throughout his body, praying to sit well. On one side, softly comfort Su Shang.

After a long time, Dong Dao withdrew his hand.

The speculation of insect disease was rejected.

Ninety-nine out of 100 ordinary domestic cats or wild cats outside have worm diseases. Either there are fleas hidden in the hair or there are worms in the body, which is called worm disease. This worm can also be seen in the human organs and stomach. Regardless of whether it is a human or a cat, if the disease is severe, cats and humans will generally have a pregnant belly, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea at first, and constipation later.

Su Shang's current symptoms are very similar to insect diseases.

However, Dong Dao checked around and found no grown worms in its body. It was just normal internal organ aging.

Under Qishan's doubts, he became even more worried.

"It's fine everywhere, and it's not an insect disease. So why does Su Shang vomit all the time and refuse to eat?" He would rather Dong Dao tell him where Su Shang's disease is than hearing that Su Shang is normal everywhere. If you can't find the crux, you can't prescribe the right medicine.

Dong Dao looked at Su Shang for a long time: "Let's change the recipe."

Qishan: "...Is Mr. Dong serious about what he said?"

Dong Dao nodded. Seeing that Qi Shan was unwilling to accept it, he suggested, "Maybe I can follow Qi Shan to your mansion to see what's going on?"

Qi Shan did not expect this: "This is very good."

Dong Dao: "..."

Thinking of his dignified medical order, even if he treats cats, he actually has to come to see a doctor at home, but who asked Qi Shan to be Zhongshu Ling?

The development of the medical office and doctors still depends on others.

Under normal circumstances, medical resources are exclusive to the royal family members. Doctors from the Medical Department cannot go out to treat people at will. They need to go through the process and obtain permission from at least the three provincial female officials in the palace. However, to practice as a doctor, you need to earn money by visiting doctors, and Shen Tang is the only one in the royal family, so some of the rules of the Medical Department seem out of date. With a wave of his hand, Shen Tang changed many of the rules of the Medical Department.

Dong Dao only needs to report and he can go out.

If he is not on duty today, there is no need to report.

Qi Mansion was very close, so Dong Dao asked the chef to take out the ingredients prepared by Su Shang and prepare a cat food according to his daily recipe.

The boss nodded in agreement, but the kitchen was grumbling.

Dong Dao is a mature man.

One look at it and you know there's something fishy about it.

Qishan's face instantly darkened.

He winked at the person in charge beside him: "Check!"

This matter is very, very simple to check.

To sum it up in one sentence, the kitchen owner ate the cat food privately, giving the fresh ingredients to himself, and giving the ingredients that had been left overnight but not smelly yet to the vegetarians and other cats. Other cats are relatively rough, and there is no problem in changing their rations in a short period of time, but Su Shang is an old cat and can't stand it after a few meals.

Qishan's eyes instantly turned cold.

"Is this how you abuse Su Shang?"

Dong Dao said something fair from one side: "In my opinion, this matter did not last long. I guess it is because Qi Xiang and Jun Qiao were not watching at the house, and the people in the kitchen were slacking off."

The cook, cook, and roughneck kneeling on the ground nodded repeatedly.

They really didn't neglect these cats at first.

Just occasionally, not very frequently.

How can I balance my mind when I see so many high-quality ingredients being made into cat food and fed to cats every day, but my family’s daily consumption is not enough for one cat’s meal? They also know that these cats are the owners' favorites, and they don't dare to fool them with low-quality ingredients, lest they get seriously ill and end up losing their lives. They just replace the original ingredients with inferior, stale ingredients. It’s fine for humans to eat them, so why can’t cats eat them? This kind of little trick can only be done when the owner of the house is not at home.

This time it was because the owner of the house came back early for some reason, and the chef had no time to make new purchases. If Qi Shan came back at the expected time, they would have switched to normal ingredients long ago. The words of these people opened Dong Dao's eyes: "But isn't this Zang Hui?"

To put it bluntly, this is corruption and bribery.

The vegetarian is the owner's cat, and it is Qixiang's business to feed the cat what good things he wants to feed. The kitchen owner can make his own decisions when purchasing, pass off inferior goods, and pocket the difference in price. Isn't this filthy? As a result, the cat was used as an excuse.

Qi Xiang raised Su Shang as his daughter.

If someone's daughter doesn't feed the good ones, but feeds the bad ones?

Dong Dao couldn't understand what these people were thinking.

Qi Shan lowered his eyes, stood up with Su Shang in his arms, and said without emotion: "Steward, check the accounts, send them to the government office, and deal with them as you should."

These people did not sell themselves to Qi Fu.

Qishan, as a Zhongshu Order, cannot kill them at will. He can just calculate the amount of their greed and send them to jail.

The steward felt ashamed and apologized.

The head of the family and the female monarch were not in the house, so he was in charge of the house. As a result, there was such a big mistake. Strictly considering it, he had to go to the government office. Qishan didn't care. He only felt happy and worried: "Parents, if you send me to the government..."

Otherwise the next day, in the afternoon, the entire capital would know that the cat food of Qifu's family had been withheld by the chef, causing trouble to the official level.

This is too embarrassing.

Qishan said: "Just do it if you are told."

The manager didn't dare to persuade me.

The faces of the people in the kitchen were ashen.

They also knew what would happen to them when they saw the official. They all knelt on the ground and prayed for mercy, but he remained unmoved. Seeing that begging for mercy was in vain, the cook shouted angrily when he was dragged out: "That's just a cat, it's just a cat."

A cat eats better than a human.

Isn't this ridiculous?

Seven or eight years ago, there was a food shortage in my hometown. I was so hungry that I ate grass roots, tree bark, mud, and eventually even people. But now I can only have enough food and clothing. I can finally eat meat a few times a year through hard work. His wife and children had never eaten such good food in their lives, but it was just daily cat food for the animals adopted by Qi Shan. How ridiculously ironic is this scene?

Now that he had eaten inferior cat food several times for the sake of the cat, he had to arrest them and bring them to court. How would his family survive? The second-rate cat food these cats eat is also delicious food that many people cannot eat all year round. I didn’t poison them to death…

It’s just that they’re a bit underfed!

Several people were dragged out and into the hospital.

Seeing that there was no possibility of things turning around, fear, panic, and despair mixed together, and finally turned into hysteria.

"Dog officer, dog officer - no, cat officer -"

Dong Dao didn't expect to see such a thing.

When he heard Qi Shan being scolded, he looked over worriedly.

"Qi Xiang, this -"

Qishan's expression was calm and apparently unaffected. He took away his right hand covering Su Shang's ears and said indifferently: "Such a family scandal makes Mr. Dong laugh. Although Su Shang's health is fine, his age shows Is there any way to extend life here?"

Dong Dao was almost killed by Qi Shan.

I pray that this is serious.

He shook his head sincerely: "I don't have this option."

Dong Daolian was still confused about his own rejuvenation. He only knew that the energy of heaven and earth nourished his body and rejuvenated his old body. The specific mechanism was still unknown. If you want Su Shang to live longer, you can't let this cat also learn to practice, right?

I've never heard that animals can do it.

Isn't this the monster in the storybook?

If you pray for good and hear the words, you will be disappointed.

Adhering to the principle of come and go, he troubled Dong Dao to give the cat in the house a physical examination. For the sake of "heavy reward", Dong Dao did not refuse. A few cats were indeed found to have parasites in their bodies, but they were not serious. Just drink some insecticide.

Just as Dong Dao said, the embezzlement of cat-raising funds in Qishan Mansion quickly spread throughout the capital, and even Shen Tang, who was squatting in the palace, heard about it. The common people in the market went to inquire around, and found that many people agreed with Pao Zi and the others, and hoped that the government would give them a lighter sentence.

How can a cat compare with a human?

These people just lived too hard in the past, and they felt bad when they saw that their family members were not as good as cats, so they used their brains to deduct cat food. People really have bad intentions, these cats have been poisoned long ago. They did do wrong things, but they are not bad in nature.

Others hold different views.

This man lives nearby, and I heard he is still an official.

"The point is that people are living a miserable life and cats are being deprived of cat food?"

"Aren't they these unscrupulous servants Zang Hui?"

When did everyone treat Zang Hui so kindly? Today we condone Zang Hui, a cunning servant in a high-ranking official's family. Will we be able to condone official corruption tomorrow? The official turned around and suffered a misfortune, saying that his wife and mother did not have as much food and clothing as anyone else at home, so he had a wrong idea and wanted to be filial to his parents, so he took bribes?

"How can these two things be discussed at the same time?"

"Hey, what's the difference between these two things? Are you a naughty servant and not Zang Hui? If you look down on cats, you can deprive them of cat food. How can you despise people and deprive them of food? Zang Hui is Zang Hui. He's talking about his own family and a cat. , no wonder he is a cunning servant."

Even now, the corpse would have been cold before.

The market was noisy about this matter.

The court also ate a lot.

Because the next day, some censors came to pray for good, saying that he was not strict in running the family, and he could not even control the servants well, and a unruly servant appeared in the house. Such a vision is really worrying. If you don’t clean one house, how can you clean the world? Qi Xiang should be punished for this.

The courtiers looked at this dear man with admiration.

Good guy, familiar face.

Isn’t it the young man who participated in the prayer ceremony for corruption last time?

Then, his eyes focused on Gu Chi again.

There are many talents under the imperial censor's account.

Gu Chi: "..."

"I have this memorial, and I pray for you to be extravagant..."

His family lives in a lively and prosperous area, and he can eat melon when he goes out. Even if Qi Shan is right, the public opinion is controversial because he has too much money to raise cats. Qi Shan should be responsible for this and restrain himself a little instead of causing an uproar in the city and making everyone aware of it.

Qishan is completely immune to this level of harassment. Yushitai is a mad dog that bites everyone in sight, and he hates dogs the most.

"Does it cost you money to raise a cat?"

"That's not true."

"The first-class maid in your house has better food and clothing than ordinary ladies from wealthy families. Can it be said that you are extravagant?"

"Xiaguan ancestors have accumulated savings from several generations..."

Qi Shan sneered: "With just a mere talent, one generation of savings is enough to support Su Shang as a lady, so I don't have to worry about you."

Baiguan: "..."

Su Shang is actually Qi Xiang’s cat? ? ?

How do you know Yuan Liang will go to Shao Bai for Su Shang?
