Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

"The monk has been away for three days. I should look upon you with admiration. I will not confront you head-on again. As I said before, if I don't return to the town, this matter will never end."

After the old monk finished speaking, he ignored everyone and lay on his own in the recliner. He reached out and took the book handed over by the monk next to him. There were two big words written on the cover - Liar of Sutras!

This book was given to him by a drug dealer from Henan a few years ago. It said that the book came from Jiangnan. It was a manuscript. He didn't care what the original name was. Anyway, the current name is very appropriate.

In order to win the game, he made arrangements early and asked Shaoshi Shanfan monks to get some famous southwestern medicines. He also asked Jiangxi businessmen to get some Folangji medicines from Chaozhou merchants. In the past few months, he had spent hundreds of dollars.

Two, and three stalls were set up.

They were waiting for Bai Yuzhan and the others to be hit, but they didn't expect that Wu Zhiwang was hit first before the real master came.

When Bai Yu saw the old monk, he seemed to be a different person, and felt distressed for a while. This was true and false, and it was according to the rules, which made him very uncomfortable and difficult to resist.

Just when he was distressed, Zhang Jiebin came over and whispered in his ear: "The Law of the Ming Dynasty: Any mediocre doctor who accidentally kills someone will be punished as manslaughter; anyone who uses medical treatment to defraud money will be punished as theft; anyone who uses medical treatment to defraud money leads to death.

Anyone who kills someone with medical treatment will be killed!"

Bai Yuzhan's eyes lit up when he heard this, he shouted loudly, and read out the three chapters of this medical method.

The old monk quickly became engrossed in his reading. He kept nodding and smacking his lips. His level of obsession could easily overwhelm the scholars in front of him who were reading the books of sages.

But at this moment, Bai Yuzhan shouted loudly and jumped, and the book in the old monk's hand fell to the ground. When he came back to his senses, he was about to get angry, but he was suppressed by the killing and beheading just now.

The old monk thought about it carefully and realized that his medicine was genuine and not a scam. He immediately felt confident. He smiled and said, "Don't scare me. I'm doing serious business. This gentleman is trying to ruin me."

In order to protect the reputation of Buddhism, donating some money for incense would not violate the Ming Dynasty law."

Zhang Jiebin wanted to go out and debate, but there was no one in the government. Although the gang was maintaining order, it could not enforce the Ming law. He had to give up and take it one step at a time.

Not long after, the scholar surnamed Chen brought a few people, who was the shopkeeper of the Wu family. The shopkeeper came with a distressed look, took out the money, and said with a sad face: "Young master, these are money for buying medicine. If the master and his wife know it, why don't they give it to you?"

I don’t know how angry I will be.”

"I have already been promoted to the imperial examination. It is the only imperial examination in my Wu family for a hundred years. It is only a matter of time before I am admitted to the imperial examination in high school. Money is like dirt to me, and serving the country is my only goal." Wu Zhiwang said very disapprovingly.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper could only sigh, thinking that for this time he could only pay for the medicine and then send someone back to collect the money.

Wu Zhiwang took the silver and threw it on the stall, saying, "Look, this is high-quality official silver."

The old monk didn't say anything, so a monk went to count and weigh them. After counting, he told him: "The quality is fine and the quantity is correct."

"As expected of a businessman, there is nothing to say about integrity." The old monk smiled, with a hint of teasing in his words.

"It's so ridiculous that a villager in the mountains can learn to read." Wu Zhiwang also mocked him when he heard this. He didn't care about the two hundred taels of silver. At most, he would be complained by his parents. But in the most conceited field of medicine, he actually stumbled.

.This made him feel so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger and felt uncomfortable.

At this time, the shopkeeper said: "Master is so talented that he was able to find these medicinal materials. You see, my young master has paid the money, can you take the goods away?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Jiebin's eyes lit up. Yes, he only said before that if he was slandered, he would be compensated according to the price. He did not say how to deal with these medicinal materials.

But the old monk frowned and said, "Don't go too far. I only want you two hundred taels, and I didn't ask for a high price. I also want to take the medicine and leave. There's no way."

"Yes or no, it's not up to you to say. Clearly mark the price and pay for the goods. This is the way to do business. Now that the money has been paid, the goods belong to me." The shopkeeper understood the reason for the matter and insisted on this.

It's business, not gambling.

The old monk was in a dilemma. Although he still made a profit of two hundred taels of silver, how could he continue if the gambler had lost all the cards in his hand?

Bai Yuzhan laughed and said: "It's time, I've made the decision. All the medicinal materials in this stall belong to your boss. Take them away quickly, otherwise you have to pay an extra fee. It's not much. Ten coins a day, and there's half a day left, so I'll give you five coins."

!”

Although Wu Zhiwang didn't like these medicinal materials, which might cause trouble for the monk, he was also happy to see the results. He urged: "Take them all away. Even if you throw them away, don't pile them up."

The old monk hesitated for a moment and said, "How about I return the one hundred taels of silver and keep the medicinal materials?"

"No, I'll leave you at most twenty taels and refund us one hundred and eighty taels, and then the matter is over." The shopkeeper began to bargain. He read a book.

The old monk shook his head repeatedly and said: "It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate, I will refund at most one hundred and twenty taels..."

Wu Zhiwang was not happy when he saw the shopkeeper's bargaining, but when he met the old monk he was still fussing over the price. He immediately became angry and scolded: "Businesskeeper Wu, do you still have my eyes on this young master? If I say, take him away."

Just throw it away."

After saying that, he picked up the gourd, uncovered it, and poured it into the ditch next to him. He also cursed and said: "This dew from Lao Shizi must be a scam. Pour it all out!"

The shopkeeper had no choice but to join in with a few waiters. The other two scholars hesitated for a moment and remembered the shame just now, so they also started to help.

The old monk kept shouting: "What a waste of natural resources, these are just vain silver!"

After everyone vented their anger, Director Cao Tang said: "Those foreign medicines are gone. After all, their origins are unknown. But other Tibetan medicines and local medicines, although rare, are processed differently, and we may learn from them."

Second, maybe it can be useful if you keep it."

Wu Zhiwang nodded when he heard this and said to the shopkeeper: "Take the rest with you!"

Seeing that he could not stop all this, the old monk touched the silver on his body again, muttered something, and soon recovered.

"Take it away, take it away. Anyway, I won't lose anything to the Buddha." After the old monk finished speaking, he picked up the Book of Deception and smiled with satisfaction: "The cunning rabbit has three holes, and the result is right!"

Hearing these words made Wu Zhiwang feel angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. He made up his mind to study medicine hard when he went back and never make such a stupid mistake again.

The shopkeeper packed up the stall and took Wu Zhiwang away with him.

Zhang Jiebin looked at Sun Chengzong, shook his head and said: "Hey, Brother Wu has such a temper..."

Sun Chengzong didn't want to talk about others behind their backs, so he just asked: "Palace Master Cao, is this matter settled?"

Hall Master Cao looked at Bai Yuzhan and the old monk and said nothing, but his meaning was very clear. The person who tied the bell must untie the bell. If these two people did not reconcile, the matter would not be over.

After this incident, everyone gathered and found a restaurant to have lunch.

In the afternoon, I continued to wander around with Hall Master Cao, but I didn't find many fake medicinal materials. At most, they were inferior medicines passed off as good ones. However, because I know Hall Master Cao, the medicinal materials I brought out were all good ones.
