During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, a new medical center was opened on Longcheng Street. The practitioner was an old man in his fifties, surnamed Chen, known as Chen Langzhong. He lost his wife in middle age and had only an eighteen-year-old daughter, Cui Ying, by his side. After opening, he prescribed for people to see a doctor, and his daughter helped dispense medicines and collect money.
Chen Lang's traditional Chinese medicine is good, and those who come to the door to seek medical treatment can cure the disease. What is particularly fascinating is that although Cui Ying does not apply fat powder, her body always emits a strange fragrance, so that every patient who comes to the medical center and his accompanying family can clearly feel an indescribable comfort. Treating diseases and receiving such wonderful enjoyment is increasing day by day. Over time, people even compared Cui Ying with the fragrant concubines in the palace, calling her "incense girl". In this way, some originally disease-free green-skinned offspring often come to seek medical treatment under the pretext of illness, just to see the fragrant woman's appearance and taste her body fragrance. The business of the medical center is getting more and more prosperous.
The news soon reached the county capital Yamen. Li Xianling is a greedy and lustful person, and has already married Mrs. Jiufang. However, as soon as he heard the name of the Fragrant Lady, he was immediately itching, and secretly thought that if he could marry this woman, he could enjoy the same blessings as the emperor, and such a good thing must not be missed! Therefore, he hurried to prepare a generous gift and went to the medical center to ask for relatives.
For the notoriety of Li Xianling, Chen Langzhong had heard about it before this. Chen Langzhong was a decent person, and he was by no means bent on welcoming the official government tycoons, how could he marry his daughter to such an insatiable guy, so he politely rejected Li Xianling's courtship.
Since Li Xianling took office in Longcheng, no one had dared to say half a "no" word to him. Now, Chen Langzhong actually despised his authority so much, that was enough! However, in order to cover people's eyes and ears, he did not immediately order the servants to come to the door to rob, but was patient, let people spy on and investigate, and once it was found that the other party had a slight mistake, he summoned him to the church, soft and hard, and forced him to obey.
One day, Ya Gong finally found out that the Chen family's father and daughter were from nearby Hengshan County. A local playboy forcibly proposed because he coveted the body fragrance on Cui Ying's body. The Father and Daughter of the Chen Family did not comply and were sued by the other party for a false accusation. Hengshan County, who had gained many benefits from the playboy, ordered the arrest and imprisonment of the Chen family's father and daughter without asking the reason. Thanks to a relative of Chen Lang who was on an errand in the county court, he reported to him in advance. In order to avoid the lawsuit, he had to take his daughter to run away in a hurry and come here to reopen the medical center.
Knowing that Chen Langzhong had such an old case, Li Xianling was really overjoyed, and couldn't help but let out a sinister treacherous laugh, and his nose hummed: "This official wants to see, where can you hide this time?" Next, he personally went out to the medical center and directly pointed out to Chen Langzhong the cases he had been involved in before, claiming that if he did not agree to this marriage, he would not be able to eat and walk.
Since the last time Li County ordered people to come to the door to talk to the media, Chen Lang Center has been on guard. At present, in the face of Li Xianling himself, he was unusually calm, but only faintly replied: "The little girl's posture is flat, and the adults look at her, which is nothing more than listening to the people in the city to spread false rumors and falsely claim that she has any fragrance on her body." As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and rats are born to punch holes. The little man is just an ordinary person, who has the blessing to raise such a delicate daughter? ”
Li Xian ordered where to believe, immediately drank Ling Cuiying near, opened his nostrils and sniffed hard, but he could not smell the slightest fragrance. He carefully examined Cui Ying's appearance, although it was not bad, it was not more brilliant than any of his many aunts. Disappointed, he froze in place for a while, and finally stopped making a sound and threw away his sleeve in sorrow.
Where did Chen Langzhong dare to practice medicine here with peace of mind, the sky was getting dark, the father and daughter hurriedly packed their bags and went out of the city gate, all the way to the city gate, did not admit to go out of the road for more than thirty miles, but was intercepted by a group of bandits.
Only out of the wolf's den, into the tiger's mouth! Chen Langzhong was proficient in medical skills, but he had no fists and no courage, and when he encountered bandits, there was no other way but to be caught obediently and dejectedly. The bandits arrested Chen Langzhong's father and daughter and went to the fairy village and said to the bandit leader, "Big brother, we see that this woman is okay, so let's invite her up the mountain, so that you can be a lady of the village!" No, but the bandit screamed, "Bullshit! What do you think I am!" ”
Chen Langzhong heard the bandit leader reprimand his subordinates, seemed to see hope from despair, and couldn't help but boldly raise his head. Coincidentally, the other party was also looking at his father and daughter. As soon as the eyes of the two sides came into contact, Chen Langzhong couldn't help but feel a little frightened: the bandit in front of him was not only not like the vulgar and vicious people in the legend, but on the contrary, he was a handsome offspring with a tall figure and no more than twenty years old.
Next, the bandit leader and Yan Yue asked Chen Langzhong where the father and daughter were going and why they had to rush all night. Chen Langzhong saw that the bandit leader was handsome, elegant in speech and demeanor, not at all like a home robber, the sense of fear in his heart gradually disappeared, and when he spoke, he was like a relative and friend who had been reunited for a long time, and unconsciously poured out his unfortunate encounters along the way without reservation. After hearing this, the bandit leader gritted his teeth and angrily scolded: "These dog officials know that they will harm the people!" ”
It turned out that the bandit's head was surnamed Wang, and his big name was Zhenhua. He was born in a well-to-do family nearby, and not only knew dali, but also learned a good martial art. He originally did not worry about eating a lot of clothing, and he was bent on finding a way out in his career. Unexpectedly, his parents inadvertently offended a local magnate who had returned from the DPRK and was arrested and imprisoned. Because the son of the magnate was still holding an important position in the court, Li Xianling dared to offend, so he did not ask for any reason, roughly passed the court, beat him into a confession, and sentenced the Wang family to a full door. Wang Zhenhua was lucky to escape with his life, but his parents and relatives were wrongfully executed. In a fit of rage, he took advantage of the night to set fire to the homes of the magnates, and then gathered in the mountains and forests to oppose the government and the magnates, but he never harassed the poor people. This time, his men did not obey the order and took the father and daughter up the mountain without authorization, he was furious, and at the same time expressed deep sympathy for the unfortunate encounter of Chen Langzhong's father and daughter. After much thought, he tentatively suggested that Chen Langzhong's father and daughter might as well set up a medical center in the nearby Xingbigang Village, which not only had a safe place to live, but also facilitated the people.
Because this area was still under the jurisdiction of Longcheng, and it was only more than thirty miles away from the city, Chen Langzhong dared to easily accept it. Wang Zhenhua had no choice but to put out his own plan and ask Chen Langzhong's father and daughter to cooperate. At the same time, he also solemnly promised to send someone to secretly protect him at any time to ensure that Chen Langzhong's father and daughter were safe and sound. Although what Wang Zhenhua was going to do would be very risky, Chen Langzhong asked himself if he fell into the hands of other bandits, he did not know what kind of tragic end he would have fallen into at this moment. Out of admiration for Wang Zhenhua and indignation at corrupt officials, he gladly agreed to Wang Zhenhua's request.
In this way, in less than two days, a new "Chen Ji Medical Center" opened in Xingbigang Village. Because of the great fame of Chen Langzhong's father and daughter, people in the nearby villages had heard about it in the past, and within a few days of opening, the number of patients who came to seek medical treatment gradually increased, and the news soon spread back to Longcheng and into the county.
After Li Xianling returned from the Chen Ji Medical Center that day, he always felt that there was something wrong with it. After barely surviving the night, he finally couldn't hold back and hurriedly led a large number of servants to the medical center. His purpose was that even if Cui Ying really didn't have a fragrance on her body, he would at least take the opportunity to catch a handful and squeeze out some oil and water. However, when they arrived, the hospital was already empty.
"Why? I actually wanted to slip away from under the eyes of this official, but there was no door! Li Xianling was furious and immediately ordered the whole city to search and arrest. At the same time, he also sent people out of the city to investigate. At this moment, when he learned that Chen Langzhong had actually opened a museum more than thirty miles away for treatment, he immediately led a group of his servants to rush away.
To Li Xian's great surprise, although the Cui Ying he saw this time was still the same person, his body really emitted the rich and strange fragrance of the rumor, and he was fascinated when he smelled it, and it was difficult to control himself. Obviously, Chen Langzhong used his clever medical skills to temporarily eliminate the fragrance on his daughter's body in order to pass the barrier. Thinking of this, he changed his mind again, decided to pay tribute first and then soldiers, so he proposed marriage again. Chen Langzhong was still like the last time, saying that he would not agree to anything. After a little while, after the officials sent seven mouths and tongues to threaten and intimidate, they reluctantly nodded their heads and agreed, but they put forward a strict condition by the neck: the bride price should be 100,000 taels of silver, and nothing should be less! Otherwise, his father and daughter would rather crash to death than submit!
One hundred thousand taels of silver? This old thing is crazy for money! I really think of my daughter as the emperor's noble concubine! Li Xianling was about to categorically refuse, but thinking about it, after Chen Langzhong married his daughter, he was alone, how much could he spend? Anyway, what he has in hand is silver, and at the moment, he is generous to this old guy, just send a few people to secretly supervise, not to be stolen by others, sooner or later will not have to return to Zhao! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "One word is certain!" This officer came to greet him on time after three days! ”
When bidding farewell, in order to prevent Chen Langzhong's father and daughter from escaping again, Li Xianling deliberately left twenty elite captors to quickly and strictly "protect", and then returned home. Seeing that it was close to the county seat, Li Xianling was shaking his head and humming a small song triumphantly in the official car, and a servant came to report: A group of bandits from the Fairy Village took advantage of the fact that they were leading their troops out and the city was empty, they killed into li mansion, stole a lot of property, and also abducted the eighth aunt. Li Xianling was shocked and urged the car driver to speed up his pace and hurry back to the house. When they arrived at the house, they were carefully counted, and although the property was greatly damaged, the vault was located underground, the entrance was hidden, and it was not found by the bandits. If you keep the treasury, you will keep the foundation, and the property that was robbed, although it is a little painful, is ultimately a dime and insignificant. As for the eighth aunt, now that she has a fragrant girl, it doesn't hurt to have her one less.
In the blink of an eye, the happy period has arrived, Li Xianling shakes his spirits, uses a special car carrying 100,000 taels of silver, surrounded by all the servants, and plays drum music all the way to chen Langzhong's new medical center. The bride is already dressed up in a fancy way, wearing a red hijab. Li Xian ordered the car, and the seductive strange fragrance struck in the face. He instructed his entourage to unload the bride price, and after counting with Chen Langzhong in person, he helped the bride to the palanquin and returned with a mighty wave.
The group arrived safely at the house, and the two servants waiting outside the door immediately stepped forward to help the bride and send her directly into the cave room. Li Xianling hurriedly followed in, and after repelling the beard, he could not wait to lift the bride's red hijab. However, at that moment, he was dumbfounded--the "bride" who lifted the red hijab was actually the eighth aunt who was abducted by bandits three days ago!
What's going on? What's going on here? Li Xianling was puzzled: Since it is not a fragrant woman, where does that strange fragrance come from? He shook the eighth aunt vigorously, and the eighth aunt woke up slowly, "wow wow" cried out, choking up and saying what had happened. It turned out that after she was dressed as a bride, she was drugged again, and at the same time, a sachet the size of a small finger was stuffed on her body. After taking the medicine, she could not make a sound, her whole body was numb and unconscious, and she could only be at the mercy of others like a puppet, but her body was full of aroma.
After listening to the crying of the eighth aunt, Li Xianling became more and more angry, and could not help but shout angrily: "These anti-thieves have actually deceived this official!" Live impatiently! After scolding, Li Xian ordered all the fast-catching servants in the county to quickly hunt down Chen Langzhong's father and daughter and the bandits of the Fairy Village, and they must be killed to the end! The crowd was ordered, did not dare to be idle, and quickly stepped up their whips and rushed to the XingbiGang Village as quickly as possible. But when they arrived, the medical center was already empty, and a large piece of rice paper posted on the door read: Dog officials are corrupt and pervert the law, wantonly harming the people! Today, a little warning is given to the people, and the loot is returned to the people! If you do not repent in the future and continue to do evil, you will take the head of your dog, and you will not spare it!
After Li Xianling read it, he was so angry that his eyes widened, his qi and blood surged upwards, he roared loudly, and he fell to the ground and died instantly.
Knowing that the corrupt official was dead, Wang Zhenhua once again consulted with Chen Langzhong and said, "This hundred thousand taels of silver was obtained by the father and daughter of the predecessors at great risk, and it should belong to your family." How to deal with it, you speak! ”
Chen Langzhong smiled calmly and said, "As long as the old decaying father and daughter have a peaceful place to survive, rely on ancestral medical skills, and have enough food and clothing to protect themselves, what is the use of so much silver?" Besides, if it were not for the full help of the brave men and the many brothers under them, would the corrupt officials have fallen into this sad end? Therefore, the old decay only wants to give a word of advice, to take advantage of the fact that the hero is a talent, to take advantage of the fact that he is young and promising, and to seek his birth on the right path, and he is worried that there will be no one to get ahead in the future. As for this group of brothers under your command, they were originally ordinary people, and they were all forced by the officials to rebel, so they had no choice but to follow you up the mountain and fall into the grass. Now that the scourge has been eliminated, there is no need to continue to gather in the mountains and forests, or to distribute silver and two, so that they can each go home and live and work in peace and contentment. The rest of the surplus silver was also distributed to the poor people in the vicinity by keeping the promise of "returning the stolen goods to the people". ”
After Wang Zhenhua heard this, he hurriedly gave his hand in thanks, and at the moment, he had the two major parts of the silver distributed to the poor people in the vicinity, and the rest was distributed to his brothers. After everyone cheered and left, he knelt down on chen langzhong's knees and said, "The younger generations admire the virtues and arts of the predecessors, and are willing to worship the disciples of the disciples and save the people for life." I implore the seniors not to count the bandits under the birth, and to be generous in their shelter. ”
This request came suddenly, Chen Langzhong had not yet returned to his senses, but Cui Ying opened his mouth shyly on the side: "Well, my father just doesn't have a son!" As soon as you come, you have half of them! ”
Chen Langzhong looked at the young couple in front of him, and couldn't help but laugh and say, "Half a son?" A son-in-law and a half son, you two should not have already discussed it! ”
