At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the people, social turmoil and the people did not have a good life. There is a medicine hall called "Shangshan Hall" in Wanfo Town, Shuzhou, and the treasurer Wang Houde is a well-known local benevolent person.
That night, shangshan hall came a fat man with a mole on his chin and a puffy body. When Wang Houde saw it, he knew that he had kidney disease, but there was no cure for this disease at present. Wang Houde had to prescribe him some new drugs that he had dispensed, and asked him for his address, ready to return at any time to see how effective the medicine was.
The fat man thanked Wang Houde and left the pharmacy. But he did not leave, and when he saw that there was no light in the accounting room of the Shangshan Hall, he sneaked in.
The fat man pried open the drawer, took the silver dollar, and was about to leave, but he happened to bump into Mr. Accounting, who had turned back. Mr. Accounting Room immediately shouted to catch the thief, and soon several family members rushed into the accounting room and surrounded the fat man. When the fat man saw this, he took the lime from his waist and sprinkled it on the faces of the people, and while the people rubbed their eyes, he quickly rushed to the gate. But not far from him, a few more family members rushed to block the way, so he had to run back again.
Suddenly, a few more family members were found in front, and the fat man was sandwiched in the middle, helpless. He had to shout, "Catch the thief, catch the thief!" Several people suddenly went in the direction of his fingers. But just when he was proud, he heard someone not far away shouting, "Remember, the thief is a big fat man." When the fat man heard that something was wrong, he quietly ran to the garden not far away and dived into the lotus leaves by the pond.
After a while, Wang Houde's son Wang Xiaobao came with all the family members to search. They searched the Shangshan Hall all over again, but they didn't see the figure of the fat man. He ordered that even if he dug three feet into the ground, he would also find the thief fat man.
But Wang Xiaobao searched for several days, that is, he did not see anyone dead or a corpse. Just when he was puzzled, a family member reported: "The old man quarreled with a few soldiers. Wang Xiaobao was puzzled, his father has always had a very good temper, what can make him make a big fuss? He quickly ran over with a few of his family members.
Only to see in the pharmacy, a man named Niu Fengshan, with a high adjutant and two small soldiers, glared at the bull's eye and yelled at Wang Houde: "Today you have to go, if you don't go, you have to go, if you can't cure the third aunt's illness, just take your old life to pay for it!" ”
Wang Houde argued according to reason: "I have many patients here, and I can't come back after half a month of going here." Those who are seriously ill are at risk. Besides, if you don't go, you will take your life, is there anyone in the world who invites Lang Zhong like this? ”
Niu Fengshan's eyes were slippery, lest the world not be chaotic: "So, you don't want to go?" ”
Before Wang Houde could speak, Wang Xiaobao had already taken over the stubble: "Just don't go, see what you can do with us?" ”
Niu Fengshan waited for this sentence, and he glanced at the senior adjutant: "It seems that today we are not moved." ”
The senior adjutant was angry: "Ge Laozi, you don't go, then ask this guy if he agrees?" With that, he raised his pistol and swung it in the air.
Suddenly, only a "bang" was heard, and the high lieutenant's gun fell to the ground. Immediately, Wang Xiaobao took a few family members and surrounded the four of them in the middle. Niu Fengshan quickly drew his pistol and fired three shots into the air. Wang Xiaobao didn't care: "Don't put down the gun again, be careful of your dog's life." ”
Wang Houde hurriedly drank away Wang Xiaobao and everyone else, and while asking Lang Zhong to bandage the wounds of the senior lieutenant, he was kind enough to persuade each other.
However, after a while, the outskirts of Shangshan Hall were surrounded by the officers and men of the brigade, and all the armed family members were disarmed by them. Soon, the officers and soldiers broke through the gate of the Shangshan Hall and surrounded the pharmacy. It turned out that they had already led a battalion of officers and men to wait on the outskirts of the Shangshan Hall, and Niu Fengshan's three shots were for the officers and men to use. The officers and men tied Wang Xiaobao and Jia Ding strongly.
Niu Fengshan told Wang Houde: "You went to the Shangshan Hall in collusion with the bandits to plague the township, and a few days ago you killed a fat young man in the Shangshan Hall. ”
It turned out that Niu Fengshan had already planned. Niu Fengshan was also the owner of a pharmacy, ten miles away from Wanfo Town, and the business was very dismal, but he always felt that Wang Houde had robbed him of his business, and he hated Wang Houde with itchy teeth. He found a group of bandits in Xiao Jianchong and wanted them to tie up Wang Houde's ticket. Who knows, but he lifted a stone and smashed his own foot, not only did he not overthrow Wang Houde, but he was raided by the murderous bandits.
Niu Fengshan, who was at the end of his rope, defected to a relative surnamed Gao who was an aide-de-camp under Duan Qirui, and when the relatives saw that he could read, they made an errand for him in the army. After more than half a year of barracks life, Niu Fengshan, who was good at flattery, quickly gained the appreciation of some high-ranking officials. One day, while chatting with a high-ranking official, he unexpectedly learned that Duan Qirui's favorite third aunt had recently suffered from kidney disease. Duan Qirui found many famous doctors in big cities, but he couldn't cure them.
After Niu Fengshan heard this, he immediately calculated his heart and came up with a plan that could not only please Duan Qirui, but also put Wang Houde to death. He said to the senior lieutenant, "Please inform Chief Duan that the third aunt's illness is on me." There is a Lang in my hometown who has mastered chinese medicine and cured the illness of the third aunt. But the man likes to fake Qinggao, and ordinary people please don't move him. ”
The senior adjutant listened and said in a deep voice, "If he doesn't eat the toast, then let him eat the penalty wine!" ”
Then, Niu Fengshan found a habitual thief with kidney disease in prison and told him that Lang Zhong in Shangshan Hall could cure his illness.
He knew the character of the fat thief, and as long as he went to the Shangshan Hall, he would definitely do it. And Wang Houde's son Wang Xiaobao is not a good stubble, with his impulsive personality, if he lets him catch the fat thief, he will definitely get rid of the thief. Niu Fengshan waited for the time to be almost over, so he led the senior lieutenant to Xingshi to ask questions, trying to force Wang Houde to obey.
Wang Houde had already seen that this was the sleeve under Niu Fengshan, but there was no way. He had no choice but to beg Niu Fengshan to release the people of the Shangshan Hall, and as long as he could agree, he would let the other party dispose of himself.
After discussing with the senior lieutenant, Niu Fengshan said generously: "Okay, it will depend on you, but your father and son must go with me to treat the third aunt," and if it is not cured, be careful of the lives of your father and son." Come, people, after evacuating the people, give me a torch to burn the Shangshan Hall. ”
When Wang Xiaobao heard this, his face turned black and he shouted, "Niu Fengshan, you are not human, you must not die!" Wang Houde saw the situation and shook his head at his son, signaling him not to resist.
Soon, the people of Shangshan Hall were evacuated, and Wang Houde's heart fell to the ground.
At Niu Fengshan's order, dozens of officers and men raised torches and set fires in all directions of the Shangshan Hall. Suddenly, the raging fire quickly ignited, and Wang Xiaobao saw it and suddenly fainted.
The fire burned for a long time, and suddenly, Wang Houde shouted, "There is still one person who has not come out!" After saying this, he rushed to the fire. The crowd didn't have time to stop him, and they couldn't help but sigh, "Lord, why is this so bitter, isn't it just a big business?" Stay in the green mountains without worrying about firewood! Why seek death! Niu Fengshan was also looking at the schadenfreude on the side.
At this time, there was a commotion among the officers and men. Suddenly, Duan Qirui rushed over with a large group of guards, and the senior lieutenant quickly greeted him with a smile. When this senior adjutant first led the soldiers out, he did not greet Marshal Duan because he wanted to surprise him. Who knows, a person who was at odds with the senior adjutant filed a complaint in front of Marshal Duan, saying that he had mobilized troops without authorization. Duan Qirui was on fire and personally brought the guards to ask questions. When the senior adjutant saw that Duan Dashuai's face was not right, he quickly explained the situation. When Duan Qirui heard that he had come to find Lang Zhong to treat the third aunt,000, his face immediately turned cloudy. But when he saw the fire burning in the Shangshan Hall, he asked why this was so.
Niu Fengshan quickly explained: "Wang Houde, the master of the Shangshan Hall, did not want to treat the third aunt's illness, and he himself had evidence that he had committed adultery with bandits and took people's lives, so he set fire to the Shangshan Hall in an attempt to force him to obey." Who knows, Wang Houde couldn't think of it for a moment, and even rushed into the sea of fire to seek death. ”
When Duan Qirui heard this, he was furious: "Are you asking for someone like this?" You two go and get me back. Niu Fengshan's nose was crooked, and he was grinding and chirping and not knowing how to be good, and several guards had already pushed him into the sea of fire.
Duan Qirui shouted from behind: "Find the langzhong who healed the disease, I will reward you with fifty thousand oceans." "But the fire engulfed the Shangshan Hall and soon engulfed Niu Fengshan."
There was no movement for a long time, and everyone thought that Wang Houde was dead. Suddenly, two wet people rushed out of the fire, and people quickly brought them to Duan Dashuai, and they saw that it was Wang Houde and a young man. Someone reported to Duan Dashuai: "This is Lang Zhong, who can cure all diseases!" ”
Duan Qirui asked, "You may be cured of the third aunt's illness?" As long as you cure the third aunt's illness, I will reward you with fifty thousand present oceans. ”
Who knows, Wang Houde was not moved, but instead stared at the young man he had just rescued. Then he groped at the young man. After a while, he actually felt a few ants! The thing was spotted, sucking the young man's blood. Suddenly, Wang Houde shouted, "I have finally found a cure for kidney disease!" Duan Qirui also cried out happily: "Tell me how to cure it?" ”
There is a way, and good and evil are rewarded. It turned out that the young man that Wang Houde had rescued was the fat thief. Just now, Wang Houde was relieved to see that all the people of the Shangshan Hall had withdrawn safely. But he suddenly remembered that the fat thief was still hiding inside, so he rushed into the fire at all costs.
But after groping around in the fire for a while, he didn't find the fat thief. He thought to himself that if he encountered such a big fire, he would definitely go to the lotus pond to take refuge, so he quickly went straight to the lotus pond. Sure enough, he found the overwhelmed fat thief in the lotus pond and pulled him away from the fire.
The fat thief suffers from kidney disease and should be puffy all over his body. But Wang Houde found that the fat thief was now like a normal person, and the puffiness had subsided. Wang Houde thought about it carefully, and only then did he figure out that it was the money leech in the lotus pond that sucked the blood from the fat thief's body and cured his illness. It seems that this money leech contains special elements that can treat kidney disease!
Duan Qirui was very cheerful, and hurriedly let people give Wang Houde the silver ticket of 50,000 oceans. Wang Xiaobao was overjoyed: "I didn't expect that our family is now in a big hair!" "You know, building a new Shangshan Hall with 10,000 oceans is more than enough."
Wang Houde instructed his son: "Don't be arrogant, remember Confucius's words, the house of jishan, there will be YuQing; If you accumulate a house that is not good, there will be a remnant. ”
