Chapter 104: Nowhere to Go

When a few people arrived in Fangzhou City, there was really no suitable place to go, so Ye Qin mentioned to Lao Gui.

"I know there is a more suitable place here. There is a pharmacy in front of me. I know the pharmacist there. We can stay for a while."

Yue Li looked at Ye Qin, her eyes full of doubts: How did the imperial official like Ye Qin know a strange-looking person like Lao Gui?

Ye Qin now knows Yue Li very much. He knows what Yue Li is thinking at a glance and explains. "This old ghost was originally an imperial doctor in the palace, but because of his strange temper, he was excluded by the imperial doctors in the palace, so he came out to stand up.

I became a pharmacist in the world. I had a bit of friendship with him before, so it is more convenient to live here."

Yue Li nodded, so that's the case. Then she had to look for the story of this old ghost when she went back.

The three of them finally arrived at the entrance of the medicine hall and saw more patients in the medicine hall than when Yue Li came before.

They all emitted a faint slap, like a struggle made at the last dying moment.

Those disciples were still busy. After seeing Ye Qin, one of the disciples immediately spread their legs and ran back to the pharmacy. Yue Li knew that this boy seemed to know Ye Qin.

"Master, Master Ye is here."

The old ghost lifted the greasy door curtain of the pharmacy, and a burning steam came from inside, and the smell of the medicine made Yue Li really unable to bear it and wanted to vomit.

"Oh, this is an old acquaintance. What are you doing when Lord Ye comes to me today?"

"We are going to live in Fangzhou City during this period, so I'm going to ask you to take it in by the old man." Ye Qin gave a polite greeting.

The old ghost waved his hand quickly, "Don't look for me. I don't have a place to live here, and even if there are people, I dare not let you live. These are all patients. If it is infected, will I treat you or them?"

"But there is almost no safe place in Fangzhou City now!" Ye Qin had a headache, "Almost all the officials on the road were robbed and killed. There was only one magistrate in Fangzhou City's yamen who were barely maintaining operations."

"But the plague has become serious these days. I heard that the master was infected with the plague and his life is not long," Ye Qin tried hard to convince the old ghost.

However, Yue Li didn't know where he heard the news that the master was sick.

"The only clean place in Fangzhou City is now the Cao Mansion." The old ghost sighed. If Ye Qin had the plague, he would not be able to explain it at that time.

"Cao Mansion? Is it the famous imperial merchant in the past?" Ye Qin asked.

"Yes, it's the Cao family, who deals with many nobles in the capital and is as good as a fish in water in the emperor. Their family is now the only clean place in Fangzhou City. I suggest you live there. The Cao family is so treacherous to please the high officials in the capital.

How could I miss something? Especially here is a famous general."

After saying that, the old ghost lifted the curtain and went in again. The medicine was boiled inside. He couldn't be busy chatting. He forgot the time to decoct the medicine. If he found the medicine again, it would take some effort.

Yue Li has quickly dealt with the matter of Qilin Village these days, but she forgot to investigate the identity of Chang Ping outside.

As expected, An Liu lived up to expectations and found something.

But now Yue Li and others are in Fangzhou City. After An Liu found out, he quickly came to Fangzhou.

Yue Li obviously felt a figure around her. She guessed that it might be that An Liu had come back, and she might have some expectations for Chang Ping's identity.

However, the princess's secret guard cannot be easily disclosed, otherwise she will be over if she loses her life.

An Liu followed his master quietly along the way and watched him walking around the street. Finally, he walked to a gate with the plaque of the Cao family.

Ye Qin went up to knock on the door knocker, "Is there anyone? Is there anyone?" After knocking for a few times, no one agreed, "Is there anyone inside? I was ordered to come to Fangzhou City to investigate the plague." Ye Qin changed his statement.

The tall rich door opened a crack with a creak, and a servant poked his head out. "Are you really an adult from the court?"

Ye Qin took out his gold medal, "The token is here, what else do you don't believe?"

The clerk looked at it several times, then he confirmed it and went in to report it with the gold medal.

After a while, the door opened and a group of servants surrounded them into the Cao family.

The Cao family is simply two extremes compared to the outside. There are diseases everywhere outside, and crows and flies are flooded. That scene makes everyone feel scared.

But the Cao family was so comfortable that it was even vaguely heard the sound of silk and bamboo.

"Sir, my master said he would invite you." The three of them entered the main hall and saw a strong middle-aged man with gray hair sitting there, excited, as if he had encountered something great joy.

"Meet Lord Ye."

Seeing this Master Cao's appearance, everyone was confused, wondering why this Master Cao was so excited.

"You are finally here, can help me solve the problems." Mr. Cao continued.

"Then what are the difficulties you have?" Yue Li asked. I guess Mr. Cao was in trouble, otherwise he wouldn't have seen them with this expression.

Boss Cao held his hands and heard Yue Li’s questioning, and nodded quickly, “Several adults, listen to me tell you what’s going on?”

Mr. Cao spoke up and found out that he was a famous imperial merchant in the capital, and his wealth was as good as a country, but a big tree attracted the wind. Sometimes it was not a good thing to be too rich.

The contempt chain of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce made some civil officials in the court dislike Mr. Cao, so they repeatedly wrote memorials to impeach them. Mr. Cao had no choice but to take his family to move to Fangzhou with his family, and he became much more low-key.

However, since they arrived in Fangzhou, strange things happened frequently. First, their only daughter suddenly went crazy and learned to crow in the chicken coop every day. Then the wife of the Cao family was too sad and couldn't get up. She lay in bed without knowing life and death.

Mr. Cao begged many doctors but it was useless at all. Even the old ghost sighed after seeing it and said that he would give up.

How could Mr. Cao give up? So he has been looking for various doctors to use various strange prescriptions to cure his wife and daughter, but recently Fangzhou City was locked down due to the plague, and now he can only enter but not exit.

The treatment was completely ruined.

So Mr. Cao thought, maybe these three adults could help him.
