The beginning of the story is always gentle, and the end of the story is always cruel.

How fun it is when you play, how hard you get when you get beaten after playing.

In the early morning, in the main hall of Taiping Medical Center, She Dengke and Liu Quxing stood in a row in front of the counter.

Old Man Yao went back to the backyard and took out two bamboo sticks, and beat the two of them until they cried and howled: "You've been staying up all night to drink, right? Your parents took out your college money and sent you to me just to let you drink?"

Even if the number is not accurate, when can we expect you to consult patients?"

Liu Quxing cried and howled: "Master, I can read the pulse accurately, but She Dengke is the one who cannot read the pulse accurately!"

She Dengke cried so hard that he blew out snot bubbles: "Liu Quxing, you uncle!"

At this time, Old Man Yao turned around fiercely and looked at Chen Ji who was watching a play on a bamboo chair: "And you!"

Chen Ji rolled his eyes upward: "Master, my wound hurts so much."

After that, he pretended to faint.

However, Old Man Yao didn't care about this. He slapped bamboo sticks all over his head and face, causing Chen Ji to wake up and scream: "Master, I'm injured, I'm injured!"

"Now that I think about it, I'm injured? Why didn't I think of it when I was playing!" Old Man Yao alternated with his apprentices and took turns licking them. When one broke, he replaced it with another. Only then did everyone understand why the other one had to lift it directly.

Two bamboo strips came out...

After finishing the apprenticeship, old man Yao looked at the prince again: "The prince went to Donglin Academy to study for three years. After completing his studies, he missed the place of fireworks every day. It seems that the gentlemen in Donglin are not so good."

The prince subconsciously agreed: "It's really not that good..."

He suddenly realized that he had said something wrong and quickly made up for it with a smile: "No, don't get me wrong. I was so happy yesterday. We really have the same mind..."

Old Man Yao slowly raised his hand, and the Crown Prince quickly shrank and hid behind Bai Li, muttering in a low voice: "You must have been so willful when you were young..."

Bai Li stepped forward and held Old Yao's arm: "Don't be angry, don't be like them."

Old Yao raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you last night? Stand back."

The white carp hung his head angrily and returned to the queue.

Old Man Yao looked at Liang Gouer again: "You are living in my Taiping Medical Center with good food and drink, and then you lead my apprentice into evil?"

Liang Gouer also lowered his head: "Don't worry, I won't keep them up all night next time."

Old man Yao stared, his beard was blowing: "Is there a next time?"

This old man with white beard and hair, like everyone's elder, reprimanded everyone except Liang Mao'er fairly. The Crown Prince, Bai Li, and Liang Gou'er also lowered their heads and did not refute...

However, the strange thing is that Old Man Yao is supposed to be just the imperial physician in Prince Jing's palace, but when he reprimanded the Crown Prince and the princess, even the Crown Prince and others thought it was so reasonable and natural.

Doctor Yao said coldly: "Stand here and reflect!"

After that, he turned around and went back to the backyard, and everyone let out a long sigh.

Liu Quxing sobbed: "Master beat me too hard."

Liang Gou'er leaned lazily on the counter, resting his elbows on the countertop: "Just be content, it's good that there are still people willing to teach you a lesson these days. If someone had given me a good beating back then, I probably wouldn't have done it every day.

Drinking..."

Liang Gou'er looked at the prince: "You and the princess don't have to stand here for punishment. The old man can't control you, so why do you stay here to be punished?"

The prince laughed and said: "What are you talking about? Good friends should share wealth and adversity together!"

…

…

At this time, there was a knock on the door: "Is Dr. Yao here?"

Everyone in the medical center breathed a sigh of relief. Someone from outside came and he was saved!

Doctor Yao slowly returned to the main hall. He glanced at She Dengke and said, "Go and open the door!"

She Dengke hurriedly ran out, and after a while, he led the guests into the backyard.

Chen Ji looked up and saw the smiling shopkeeper Yuan of Bailu Pavilion carrying two bags of things, including fruits, snacks, and even a basket of fresh lamb legs.

At this moment, all the dreams, the singers, the sweet wine, all disappeared because shopkeeper Yuan came to the door. Everything last night seemed to be just a good dream.

Since the injury, Chen Ji seemed to have stayed away from the disputes. While he was learning fighting skills at school, he was led by the prince to make mischief.

Live a fulfilling and practical life, as if the shadow of the past has gone away and will never come back.

But he knew that what was supposed to come would always come.

Old Man Yao asked: "My Taiping Medical Center just replenished the medicinal materials a few days ago, why did shopkeeper Yuan come here in person again? There is no need to do business anymore."

Shopkeeper Yuan responded with a smile: "A clerk from Bailu Pavilion said that he saw Chen Yi being carried on the street yesterday. He must have been injured, so I thought about it and came to see him."

Chen Ji knew that it must have been that he, the crown prince, and the princess had swaggered through the city yesterday, attracting the attention of the Jingchao Military Intelligence Department.

He knew that the other party might come, but he didn't expect that the other party would come so quickly.

Old Man Yao glanced at Shopkeeper Yuan and said solemnly: "Shopkeeper Yuan is a busy man, but he still comes to our Taiping Medical Center to visit a young apprentice?"

Shopkeeper Yuan didn't care about old man Yao's meanness: "In the past, Dr. Chen often came to my Bailu Pavilion to buy medicinal materials. I hit it off with him at first sight, so I came to visit with my things. You are busy first, follow me, Dr. Chen

Talk."

Old Man Yao nodded: "Well, then you two talk, She Dengke, go fetch water, Liu Quxing, go mop the floor, Liang Mao'er, go cook, Liang Gou'er... you go to bed."

Liang Gouer said sarcastically: "I live and eat in Taiping Medical Center for free. It's okay for you to ask me to leave. You don't have to be polite to me."

"Okay, then go and chop the firewood!"

"Okay!"

The prince quickly apologized and said with a smile: "We will stay here to do some work before we leave. Bai Li, you go find a rag and wipe the table in the main hall..."

Bai Li smiled and said: "Okay!"

Shopkeeper Yuan took advantage of everyone to be busy and asked in a low voice: "Did you find the defected spy the night before yesterday?"

Chen Ji shook his head and said seriously: "That night I was seriously injured and fainted, and I don't know what happened next. But since the Secret Service has not come to arrest me now, I guess they have not caught me."

Shopkeeper Yuan was musing in the main hall with his hands behind his back, and the atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became as solid as ice.

The door of the Taiping Medical Center was still closed, and the morning light filtered through the white paper on the window and shone into the dark room.

Chen Ji silently observed the other person's expression without saying a word.

After a while, Shopkeeper Yuan asked: "Has anyone from the Military Intelligence Department come to see you in the past two days?"

Chen Ji shook his head: "No."

Shopkeeper Yuan stared at the traces: "Really not?"

Chen Ji looked back calmly: "Really not."

Shopkeeper Yuan no longer dwelled on this topic and changed the subject: "The last batch of goods has been shipped to the north. I'll give you one day to find a way to inform the big shot in the palace that it's time to deliver the next batch of goods. As long as this batch of goods arrives.

, the boss will immediately leave for the south."

Chen Jiwei asked: "But Mr. Si Cao, you see I'm injured like this, how can I contact that big shot? Can you wait until I'm healed?"

Shopkeeper Yuan's expression darkened. He actually bent down and reached out to press the wound on Chen Ji's thigh.

It was as if he had been struck by lightning. Big beads of sweat fell from his forehead. In just a few breaths, the clothes on his back were wet with sweat, but he did not dare to make a sound.

Liang Gouer is in the backyard, Chen Ji can hear him when he shouts, but after hearing it, everyone will know that he is a spy from the Military Intelligence Department?

No, it cannot be exposed.

Shopkeeper Yuan said in a low voice: "I don't like people bargaining with me. How to contact me is your responsibility, not mine. You should be grateful for sparing you a life, and don't affect my plan."

At this time, Bai Li walked back from the backyard with a rag in her hands. She was in a good mood and humming a tune.

Shopkeeper Yuan looked up at her and whispered to Chen Ji: "No matter what method you use, I will only give you one day."

"Understood."

Shopkeeper Yuan turned around and left. He pushed the door open, but stood still inside the door, as if someone was blocking his way.

Chen Ji looked past him and saw a man outside the door wearing a bamboo hat, patched clothes, and straw sandals. He was holding a short knife in his hand and standing in the morning mist with his head lowered.

, unable to see clearly.

The other party and Shopkeeper Yuan were facing each other in the air, without saying a word to each other, but murderous intent permeated the air.

Wait, this is another director of the Military Intelligence Department!

Chen Ji suddenly realized: Just as the Secret Service has twelve zodiac animals, the Military Intelligence Department also has more than one director. There are two in Luo City alone: ​​one is a fat man pretending to be Shopkeeper Yuan, and the other once wore a green-faced fang mask.

, a thin man who likes to use a short sword.

Sensing the danger, Chen Ji turned to Bai Li who was cleaning the table and said, "Princess, can you get me a glass of water?"

Bai Li didn't know anything about what was happening. He just smiled and responded: "Okay, I'll get you some water right now."

After Bai Li left, he heard Shopkeeper Yuan calmly say to another director: "What are you doing here?"

The Si Cao opposite sneered: "What are you here for?"

"Now that Luo City is under my control, you need to adjust your position." After saying that, Shopkeeper Yuan got on the carriage and left in a hurry.

The Si Cao wearing a bamboo hat looked at Chen Ji quietly for a long time before leaving.

Chen Ji is confused, why did the two directors gather at the entrance of Taiping Medical Center?

At this time, Bai Li brought a glass of boiled water: "Here, warm..."

Chen Ji did not receive the water, but looked up at Princess Baili: "Princess, can I trust you?"

Bai Li smiled and said, "Of course you can, I'm very reliable."

Chen Ji suddenly stood up from the bamboo chair, limped and struggled outside, and when he reached the door, he turned back to look at Princess Baili: "Close the door after I leave, keep it a secret for me, thank you."

…

…

Chen Ji took advantage of the fact that there weren't many people on the street and quickly came to the outside wall of the backyard of the cloth shop.

But as soon as he turned into this small alley, he was stunned. He saw dark clouds squatting on the white walls and gray tiles, followed by more than ten civet cats, bowing their heads and obeying orders.

On the opposite side of the dark clouds, a half-blind civet cat squatted on the gray tiles, followed by more than a dozen cats, including fat oranges and cow cats.

The war is about to break out.

Chen Ji didn't care to think about what was going on, and immediately waved to Wu Yun: "Black Cloud!"

Wuyun meowed: "Stay back first and don't let blood splash on you later."

Chen Ji: "..."

There is murderous intent.

He said: "Stop fighting now, I have something very important to ask of you."

When Wu Yun heard this, he immediately stopped his murderous intent and looked at Chen Ji: "What's wrong?"

Chen Ji said: "Just now, a man wearing a bamboo hat left the Taiping Medical Center and went south. His clothes were patched and he was wearing a pair of straw sandals. If you chase him now, you will definitely be able to catch up. You must help me follow him quietly.

Him, I want to know his true identity!"

Wu Yun meowed, no longer paying attention to the group of cats that had previously confronted him, and turned around with more than a dozen civet cats scattered into various alleys, chasing south.

At the same time, a carriage slowly stopped in front of the hospital.

Golden Pig lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car. He came to the door of Taiping Medical Center and knocked on the door with a smile.

Bai Li came to the door and asked cautiously: "Who is it?"

Jin Zhu was also startled when he heard the princess's voice: "Hello, I am Chen Ji's friend. I heard that he was injured, so I came to visit him."
