Chapter 171 Iron Monkey
Monk Yanwu was not in this city. Under Hong Sandong's leadership, Li Xiake rode forward on horseback. After two or three days, he arrived at the Wenzhou area. Hong Sandong said: "Master, Master Yanwu is here to recover from his injuries in Baicaotang. We are worried that someone will not benefit Master Yanwu, and few people know."
Li Xiake said: "I have said it many times. I am not a master, and I am not a monk. My name is Li Xiake. You can call me Old Li or Brother Li. It's always the master's call me, and it makes me feel uncomfortable!"
Hong Sandong kept nodding: "Yes, yes, what the master said is, villains can't remember them!"
Li Xiake sighed, too lazy to correct his name. Seeing that the Wenzhou city wall was looking at, the two jumped off their horses and moved forward slowly. Because this time, in order to find Yan Wu, Li Xiake specially changed his clothes, found a hat to put it on, and covered the blood marks on his eyebrows.
Before finding Monk Yanwu, Li Xiake didn't want to cause more trouble.
"Stop! Who are you?"
As soon as the two of them walked to the city gate, they were stopped by the two soldiers guarding the gate: "Do you know about the entry into the city?"
Li Xiake said in a daze: "I have to pay the fee when entering the city?"
A soldier shouted, "What? You don't want to hand over it? Do you still want to resist the law?"
Hong Sandong didn't want to cause trouble, so he hurriedly said: "Trouble, hand, hand, hand, hand, let's hand! Second master, how much should we pay?"
The gatekeeper Ding said, "One person has ten coins!"
Hong Sandong said in surprise: "Why are there so many? Didn't you only cost three cents a few days ago?"
The Bingding said: "Who said it was not? But the magistrate thought he had taken too little. He said that he had a wife from Jiufang to support him. How could he support so many people if he didn't charge more money?"
Li Xiake laughed and scolded: "Damn, who is the magistrate of Wenzhou? Even this little money needs to be plundered!"
The soldier guarding the gate shouted: "Bold, dare to insult Shangguan, don't you want to live?"
When Li Xiake was furious and wanted to say something, Hong Sandong hurriedly took his hand and walked into the city. While walking, he smiled at the two soldiers and said, "This is my young master. I have never paid attention to my words. I am more grateful to you, more grateful to you!"
After entering the city, Hong Sandong advised: "Master Sanmu, there are so many people in this city, and Master Yanwu is injured again, so let's calm down."
Li Xiake smiled and said, "Okay, I will follow you!"
As soon as the two of them entered the city, they saw a group of policemen wandering around the street. There was a man playing with monkeys beside them. Several policemen strode forward and shouted, "Tie it!"
The monkey was confused: "My uncles, I have paid the protection fee and paid the dock. The villain did not do anything. Why did you catch the villain?"
A police officer shouted: "The magistrate has an order. Now the iron monkey is becoming more and more rampant. Now anyone with the word "monkey" on the market will be arrested and punished in the yamen!"
It was hard to understand that he was playing monkey and shouted, "Iron Monkey? I am a monkey, and it has nothing to do with the iron Monkey!"
The policeman shouted: "Stop talking! We are also ordered to take people and come to Wenzhou. You can just admit that you are unlucky!"
After they tied the monkey-sniffing man, they saw a man scratching his ears while sneezing. His eyes lit up and he shouted: "The monkey is so angry that he must be a member of the iron monkey! Tie it up!"
The man who sneezes looked mom criticized: "Sir, it's not illegal for me to sneeze, right?"
The police officers shouted: "It's not illegal to sneeze, but you can't be angry with the monkey. Come with us!"
Li Xiake saw these policemen arresting those who practiced monkey fist, those who sold monkey dates, and those who performed operas and painted monkey facials were also arrested. Anyone related to monkeys was arrested by these policemen.
The more Li Xiake looked, the more funny he became. He asked Hong Sandong: "What's going on? Why do people related to monkeys need to be arrested? Are there any officials who are so accused?"
Hong Sandong smiled bitterly and said, "In the Wenzhou area, a thief named Iron Monkey has appeared in the past two years. This man robbed the rich and helped the poor, often opposed the government, and went to steal the money of the government master from time to time, and never missed it. Since the prefect Zheng Bafang took office, the iron monkey has never stopped. The government office has arrested him many times, and the wanted notice has been posted for many years, but he has not been arrested. To be honest, the villain admires this Iron Monkey very much!"
He sighed: "Maybe Iron Monkey offended Zheng Bafang so hard this time that he would arrest people like this."
Li Xiake was stunned when he heard this, his mind was clear and he murmured: "Iron Monkey? So it's this world! I said why did you always feel familiar with the name Yankong? It turns out that he is the villain of this movie!"
Just when he was dazed and dazed, Hong Sandong said, "Master, Baicaotang is nearby, let's go together!"
Li Xiake came back to his senses and asked, "Baicaotang? Is the owner of this medicine shop called Yang Tianchun?"
Hong Sandong said in surprise: "Master, you have heard of Doctor Yang's name. Doctor Yang is skilled in medical skills and takes good care of brothers in the world. Sometimes when the brothers are on tight, he also allows him to pay credit. He never complains. Therefore, everyone admires him very much. Generally, he will ask him to treat any pain. Master Yanwu injured his leg by gunpowder, so we sent him here for treatment. Now I think he should have recovered a lot."
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the entrance of a medicine shop, and there was a plaque on the gate: Baicaotang.
When Hong Sandong led Li Xiake into the pharmacy, he whispered: "Master, this Doctor Yang has a strange temperament. He treats poor people without paying any money, but when treating rich people, the money he needs is extremely expensive. But his medical skills are indeed very good, so many people still want to let him see a doctor even though they know that he asks for a high price."
He said to Li Xiake: "We'd better not offend him, so as not to get up and drive us away."
Li Xiake looked at the pharmacy and smiled: "Don't worry, he will definitely not drive us away!"
At this time, the pharmacy was like going to the market, and there were many people gathered. There was only one middle-aged man in the hall and a beautiful woman. The man was responsible for prescriptions when treating the doctor and the woman was responsible for taking medicine. The two cooperated very well.
This middle-aged man prescribed medicine for treatment and was very fast. When he was taking a pulse, he actually called the pulse of two people with both hands at the same time. He prescribed the medicine with two hands and wrote different prescriptions separately. He actually used it with both hands and used it with both hands to draw the bow from left to right. This was the first time Li Xiake had seen this skill.
When he entered the pharmacy, the middle-aged man who was prescribing medicine for others appeared. His eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly stood up and bowed: "This guy is unparalleled in a dragon and tiger step, and he doesn't look like a sick person. How can he tell me if he is a despised person?"
He glanced at Hong Sandong and smiled and said, "It turns out that Mr. Hong has arrived. Your brother's injury has improved greatly. Now he is resting in a villa. If you visit him, just go to the villa."
Hong Sandong bowed his hand and said gratefully: "Doctor Yang has trouble! Brothers are so grateful!"
He was familiar with the place and saluted Yang Tianchun, and then led Li Xiake to a villa in the medicine shop and said, "Master, Master Yanwu is here to heal his wounds."
Li Xiake smiled and said, "I have seen him!"
In the yard, a short, fat middle-aged man was lying on a recliner and sighing. It was Monk Yanwu.
