169,169 Strange symptoms(1/3)
While Zhan Zhao and the others rescued a large number of missing Jianghu people in the mountains, Gongsun and the others were not idle either.
Mr. Gongsun went out with the prince and the emperor early this morning. What were they going to do? Mr. Gongsun wanted to catch a liar!
Although Mr. Gongsun has a bit of a venomous mouth, he is still quite generous, and he is especially patient with patients. However... people always have a backlash. Mr. Gongsun can tolerate many things, but he can never tolerate one thing, which is to deceive patients. Doctor.
The crooked talk may just be to defraud a little money, but for the patient it may be a life. In Gongsun's view, this is tantamount to seeking money and killing, and it is a sin that requires a guillotine.
I heard from the fourth son yesterday that Gongsun estimated that these liars should still be in Jinhua Mansion.
This kind of deceiving people by practicing medicine is mostly a long-term plan to catch a big fish. They first spread their reputation, and then catch them all in one go. After making money, they change places. I guess yesterday was just a bait, and it was also tricked by the mistress I interrupted, and I will probably do it again.
The two uncles and nephews Zhao Pu and Zhao Zhen were relatively helpless towards Gongsun. Zhao Pu did it because he was "sexy and stupid", and he listened to whatever Gongsun said anyway. Zhao Zhen did it because he loved talents... Gongsun was a great talent and a miracle doctor. , all the officials in the court actually trusted Gongsun's medical skills more than the imperial doctors... including the imperial doctors themselves.
It is true that people who cheat are hateful, but the Jinhua mansion is not small, so where can we find those few cheaters?
Gongsun smiled slightly and said, "Such scammers are definitely not locals of Jinhua Mansion. They are just trying to get some money to change places. There are only two types of people they defraud, one is the rich and the other is the poor."
Zhao Zhen felt fresh when he heard this, "Is there such a thing?"
Gongsun obviously has a lot of experience in dealing with fake doctors for many years, "Why did those swindlers show up at Yutang Building yesterday? No matter which swindler, if he knew that it was Bai Yutang's business, would he still dare to cheat there? Of course they would go around. Got it!"
Zhao Pu and Zhao Zhen both nodded—that makes sense.
"But those people openly went to Yutanglou to defraud. I guess they didn't ask in detail where Yutanglou was. They just randomly asked locals which business owner had the richest business. Jinhua Mansion was naturally the Bai one. When he got home, passers-by might have told him that it was Yutang Tower, so they went there." Gongsun continued, "This is called luck. If a rich family happens to have a patient with a difficult-to-treat disease, the servants in the family will look at it. When they act in a show, they will definitely tell the owner, and then they may pay him a lot of money. Then he will defraud this wealthy family of their money, and this way will be easier."
This is the first time both Zhao Zhen and Zhao Pu have heard of it—that’s it.
"But they were disrupted by the Fourth Master yesterday, and they should have inquired about Yutanglou afterwards. Such scammers would not dare to deceive Jianghu people, because they might be slaughtered." Gongsun said, "So this time, they made money easily. You can’t make any money, you can only make trouble money.”
"How do you calculate trouble money?" Zhao Zhen listened with interest.
"Making trouble money means making poor people's money." Gongsun said this and became even more angry. "Poor people have no money! They may not be able to go to a large clinic or medical center for treatment because the medicinal materials or medical fees are too expensive. This
If there is a miracle doctor who charges cheap fees, 80% of them will believe it. But again, poor people don’t have money, so they can only deceive less people at one time, so if you need to deceive many people at once, it will be more troublesome."
Zhao Zhen shook his head when he heard this, "Those bastards!"
"So if you want to deceive the poor, you have to go to a place where patients are concentrated." Gongsun said, and he had already arrived near a large clinic in Jinhua Mansion.
Behind Zhao Pu and Zhao Zhen, Ouyang and Nangong followed. Nangong listened very seriously, and Ouyang yawned as he walked.
When he reached the door of the clinic and raised his head, Ouyang was delighted, "Hey, those scammers still dare to lie at the door of the clinic? Aren't they afraid of being beaten to death?"
Gongsun smiled slightly, waved his hand, looked around, found a nearby restaurant, and walked straight over.
The three of them, Ryōtatsumi, who had come to watch the excitement, all gathered around the little fourth son and asked - Where are you going, sir? Are you going to eat?
The fourth child said that his father had gone to ask for directions.
Zhao Pulue knelt down helplessly and asked the fourth son, "Isn't this the first time your father has done this?"
The fourth son was very happy, saying that if all the fake men his father had caught were put together, the dungeon of Kaifeng Mansion might not be enough.
Zhao Puwangtian—this scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken, does manage quite a lot.
Zhao Zhen folded his arms and exclaimed - Mr. Talent! Talent!
Gongsun went to a restaurant, found a waiter and asked just one question - which temple nearby is more effective.
When the waiter heard this, he pointed to a street not far away and said, "Go straight along that street. There is a Huatuo Temple in front of you."
Gongsun pointed to the Huatuo Temple and signaled to everyone - over there!
Zhao Zhen and Zhao Pu looked at each other and followed Gongsun.
When he arrived at Huatuo Temple, Gongsun searched again and found a small teahouse. He went up to the second floor, asked for a seat by the window, and sat down to drink tea.
The fourth son stood by the window, looking at the passers-by below.
Before everyone had finished a cup of tea, the fourth son turned around and pulled Gongsun, "Dad! That man!"
Gongsun looked out the window and saw the fourth son pointing at a young man wearing a blue gown downstairs.
Xiao Liangzi and the others also recognized him and said he was one of the followers of Master Dong yesterday.
Zhao Pu and Zhao Zhen were both surprised - they really found it! Amazing!
The attendant was talking to an old couple, and then led them forward and turned into an alley.
When Gongsun stood up, he grabbed Zhao Pu and stretched out his hand, meaning - hug!
Zhao Pu was startled, but his hands were faster than his brain and he quickly hugged his waist.
Gongsun pointed downstairs - quickly jumped down to chase!
Zhao Pu hugged Gongsun and jumped down.
Xiao Liangzi picked up Xiao Sizi and went down, followed closely by Tang Luomei, Shen Yuanchen, Zhao Zhen and Nangong.
Ouyang was holding the teacup and looking at the suddenly empty table, a little speechless.
The waiter next to him stared at him more warily, with that look in his eyes - if you dance too, then you are eating Bawang meal... No, you are drinking Bawang tea!
Ouyang shook his head, stretched out his hand, took out a piece of silver and rewarded it to the man, while asking him, "Is there some kind of miracle doctor who came to the alley?"
The waiter received the money and smiled happily. When Ouyang asked, he said, "Here comes someone. It seems to be the owner of Dong Village, Yueming or Mingyue Villa. He said he can cure all diseases. There are many people here early this morning."
Went to find him."
Ouyang Xin said - I really caught him!
…
Ouyang got up and went downstairs. As soon as he reached the door, he saw a group of people coming from the other side of the street. They were wearing similar clothes to the entourage just now, and they were also blue gowns. The leader was a woman, about early twenties, well-dressed, and with a hand in her hand.
When he holds a sword, he has a murderous look on his face.
Ouyang stood at the door of the teahouse and was judging whether these people were the same as the entourage from Yueming Villa just now. The woman also turned around and saw Ouyang looking at them.
The woman walked over quickly and asked Ouyang, "Master, have you ever seen anyone dressed similarly to us?"
Ouyang stretched out his hand and pointed to the alley opposite.
The woman turned around, took her sword and rushed into the alley with her men.
Ouyang tilted his head, thinking that there would be a good show to watch, so he followed in.
There is a house in the alley, and there are many people lined up at the door, mostly elderly people.
Zhao Pu and Gongsun just walked to the front of the team and saw that the courtyard door was closed and there was an entourage guarding the door.
When the attendant saw Gongsun and the others coming, he felt that these people did not look like ordinary doctors. He lowered his head and recognized the fourth son.
When the attendant saw the fourth son, he knew something was wrong, and shouted to the people behind him, "The owner of the village won't be seeing a doctor today. Everyone, please go back. Please be early tomorrow."
After saying that, he had to go into the house and lock the door.
But he was not as quick as Zhao Pu. The Ninth Prince reached out and pushed the door... and the door flew up.
At this time, the owner of the village was "seeing a doctor" in the yard.
I saw an old man sitting on a chair, and next to him was an old lady, looking anxiously.
And the owner of Dongzhuang was "exerting power" on the old man's forehead.
After all, he had a guilty conscience. When "Master Dong" saw someone breaking in, especially Zhao Pu who was walking in front, he turned around and ran away in fright.
Gongsun and Xiao Sizi both rolled up their sleeves late at the same time, but before anyone could say anything, a group of people rushed in behind them. It was the person who had just asked Ouyang to help guide them.
Ouyang Shaozheng also came in behind him, and saw a group of girls rushing in and chasing the "Master Dong". The leader grabbed Master Dong by his hair and kicked him to the ground, and then picked him up by the collar.
He was slapped when he drew his bow left and right, and the other two followers were also slapped when he was pressed down.
Gongsun and Xiaosizi put down their rolled-up sleeves, and Xiaosizi even hid behind Xiaoliangzi.
Zhao Zhen waved his fan and watched as a group of girls beat up three old men. They were so cruel...and they were all wearing the same style of clothes.
After a while, the three of them were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and they knelt down to beg for mercy.
The woman in the lead shouted to the frightened patients at the door, "Fellow folks, these three people are not from my Yueming Villa at all, and this old man is not the owner of my village! These three people pretended to be the owner of my village, defrauded and destroyed our Villa.
Reputation, please don’t be deceived!”
When the patients heard that he was a liar, they all cursed and walked out.
The disciples from Yueming Villa dragged the three of them to escort them to the Yamen.
All this happened so fast. Gongsun and the others watched everything happening in stunned silence. By the time they realized what was going on, everyone had already left the yard.
This courtyard seems to have been borrowed from the backyard of Huatuo Temple. Some monks in the temple were so frightened that they hid in the meditation hall and did not dare to come out. They thought bandits were coming.
Zhao Pu looked at Gongsun.
At this time, the woman who was leading suddenly came back.
Xiao Sizi quickly hid on the other side of Xiao Liangzi, while Zhao Pu looked at Gongsun.
Gongsun also silently hid on the other side of him.
Zhao Pu looked at him helplessly - you know he's afraid, right? The fight against counterfeiting should have such momentum!
Nangong also looked at Zhao Zhen.
The emperor puffed up his chest - I will not hide!
