Chapter 97: Remarkable resourcefulness
In the chamber, the body of the Sixth Elder was placed on a wooden bed, as if it had been roasted by charcoal fire, and there were charred marks on his body, which was very terrifying.
Zhuge Fei and others surrounded the mummy and looked at it carefully.
Next to Zhuge Fei's left hand, a young man in his twenties, wearing a crane robe, said in admiration: "The thunder method of Baiyun Temple is indeed well-known. Even if the sixth elder practiced the Qiankun Eight Trigrams diagram to the realm of rebelling against Qiankun, he could not stop the thunder method from entering the body."
Zhuge Fei nodded lightly: "It seems that I underestimated Zhuge Gang after all. When I reached this level of strength, I could already be the elder of my Zhuge family."
The young man smiled slightly: "The Sixth Elder died of thunder, but it was not killed by Zhuge Gang."
Zhuge Fei said in confusion and turned to the young man: "Then how did he die? The death of the Sixth Elder does indeed seem to have been killed by Thunder Law."
The young man stretched out his fingers and pointed to several acupuncture points on the Sixth Elder's body and said, "The burning marks of these acupuncture points are quite obvious, and they are in the kidneys. If I am not wrong, the Sixth Elder should have been held down by someone, causing the five elements in his body to be imbalanced and killed by the heart fire."
Zhuge Fei looked at the young man and nodded with satisfaction: "Kong Fang, your speculation is correct. There is a doctor named Wu Jun among the people with Zhuge Gang. The Sixth Elder should have been secretly injured by him."
The young man was named Zhuge Kongfang. He was his nephew. He was appointed as the leader of the Shushan Taoist Sect at the age of five. He was already a Taoist sect at the age of twenty and was extremely intelligent. He was the indisputable first person in the new generation of the Zhuge family.
Hearing Wu Jun's name, a light flashed in Zhuge Kongfang's eyes and said, "If I remember correctly, Wu Jun is the one who accompanied the third prince to the Western Regions to obtain scriptures."
Zhuge Fei said: "It's him, probably he has sent the third prince to the Western Regions and is now on his way back to Beijing to report his life."
Zhuge Kongfang shook his head: "The countries in the Western Regions are in chaos. No matter how stupid the third prince is, he cannot stay there to practice. Moreover, since the third prince left the capital, His Majesty has drawn Zhao Lan's Shanshan Army into the capital to change defense, obviously he is guarding against whom."
Zhuge Fei asked with interest: "Who do you think Your Majesty is guarding against?"
Zhuge Kongfang smiled: "Of course, it is our four major families. The so-called remnants of the Zangfeng Pavilion should not be able to reach the eyes of His Majesty. Second Uncle, have you ever thought about why the third prince went to the Western Regions to seek scriptures, so why did he accompany a doctor?"
"Maybe Your Majesty was afraid that the third prince would get sick on the way, so he gave him a special gift?"
"It's okay to say this, but my nephew recently found out about the news from the Taoist sect that the night of the turmoil in the capital was assassinated, and he was seriously injured."
"You mean, the Third Prince and his friends did not go to the Western Regions to seek scriptures, but to seek medicine for His Majesty?"
“There is this possibility.”
The uncle and nephew looked at each other, and Zhuge Fei was silent for a moment and slowly spoke: "Kong Fang, go and test them."
Zhuge Kongfang smiled and nodded: "My nephew is also thinking this way."
At the same time, Wu Junzheng stood on Chang'an Street with an excited expression, directing several friends to hang the plaque of "Renxintang Shuzhongdian" on the door.
After Zhuge Gang took back his ancestral property, he fulfilled his agreement to give Wu Jun a commission of one tenth. Wu Jun fell in love with the medicine shop at a glance and changed it to the Renxintang semicolon.
Seeing the plaque hanging, Wu Jun clapped his hands happily. Each of the guys sent a red envelope and said, "You can do your best. You will get commissions for the money for selling medicine. There are bonuses during the Chinese New Year and the holidays. I will give you all the money. If he deducts your money, go directly to Zhuge Gang and let him make the decision for you."
Several guys thanked each other repeatedly, each of them said auspicious words and went to do their own business.
Wu Jun came into the medicine shop, and sat down in the hall, posing like a doctor. In order to scare people, he specially wore a gray and fake beard to make himself look childish and crane-haired. He looked very good at taking care of himself at first glance.
Qin Yue'er was eating the wedding bags that Wu Jun had steamed in order to open a good business, and said strangely: "Other people's pharmacies are free for medical treatment, and they charge money for selling medicine. Why did you get the opposite of it?"
Wu Jun glanced over and explained: "As long as God gives me a charity for the patient, I will give me medicine for free. This is called giving medicine for medical treatment. Giving medicine for medical treatment on the first day of business is the ancestral teaching of our Renxin Hall, and our ancestors must not violate it."
Qin Yue'er said skeptically: "I read less, don't lie to me."
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Wu Jun couldn't help but sigh that the world was getting worse and the people's hearts were not as good as ever, and then took out the real account book in the pharmacy and started reading it.
At this time, a tall young man walked in from outside the door, glanced at the store, and asked, "Is Dr. Wu Jun not here?"
Wu Jun's eyes lit up: "That's right!"
The person who came was Zhuge Kongfang. When he heard Wu Jun's answer, he turned his face and frowned slightly, "I'm here to visit Dr. Wu Jun. You are really Doctor Wu, but I heard that Doctor Wu is not as old as you?"
Wu Jun took off his fake beard and said seriously: "You are young now. Please sit down and stretch out your right hand. I will check your pulse first."
Looking at Wu Jun who was acting unexpectedly, Zhuge Kongfang couldn't help but be slightly stunned, then sat down, stretched out his right hand and said, "Please."
Wu Jun smiled and put his finger on his pulse. After closing his eyes and listening for a moment, he said, "Young Master, you are practicing Taoist sect skills. Taoist sect skills focus on the maintenance of your body, so there are fewer hidden injuries in your body. Wait for me to prescribe a few medicines for you to take to ensure that your medicine will be cured and your body will be perfect. It is not impossible to ascend to Taoism in the future."
A strange color flashed in Zhuge Kongfang's eyes and said, "Doctor Wu is worthy of being a wonderful doctor who was personally given by His Majesty's pen. He can actually tell that my physical condition is lacking by just taking the pulse. It is really admirable."
Wu Jun opened his eyelids, showed a useful expression, picked up a pen and wrote the prescription, and smiled and said, "It's just a false reputation, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning!" Then he handed the prescription to him and said, "Truely favor two taels of silver."
"Well, it seems that my body is not very valuable..."
Zhuge Kongfang smiled and joked, took the prescription and looked at it, and the smile on his face immediately stiffened.
Medicinal materials such as Sichuan pineapple and angelica are very common, but what do poisons such as heartbreaking grass and peacock gallbladder mean to the prescription?
Are you afraid that the patient will not die of eating it?
Could it be that Wu Jun opened a pharmacy shop on the surface, but actually ran a coffin shop behind his back, wanting to be on the east side but not on the west side?
Zhuge Kong's expression slightly darkened, feeling that Wu Jun had already seen his identity and the purpose of coming here, and was deliberately trying to make him happy!
He realized that Wu Jun was extremely wise and not inferior to him, and he felt that he had been a little reckless this time. He stood up with a cold face and bowed and said, "Doctor Wu, there will be a date in the future."
Seeing that he turned around and left without hesitation, Wu Jun was stunned: "How come the patient in Shu, why can he get a free time even if he treats a doctor..."
At this time, Zhuge Gang walked in from outside. Looking at Zhuge Kongfang's back as he hurriedly left with the prescription, his eyes lit up. He came over with excitement and asked in a low voice: "I'll see you filial piety for a few days after taking this medicine. I'll prepare the money in advance."
"Um???"
