Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 281 Meeting a colleague

Zhao Bao's expression changed when he saw the old eunuch waving at him.

He could only say to Liang Jin:

"Great and virtuous teacher, I'm going to see someone."

Liang Jin glanced at the old eunuch and smiled slightly:

"Go."

Immediately, Liang Jin asked the boatman to bring the boat closer to the dock.

The officers and soldiers at the dock originally wanted to stop Zhao Bao from going ashore.

But the servant beside the old eunuch went over and negotiated with him, and Zhao Bao successfully got on the dock.

Zhao Bao was seen jogging with his clothes in his hands, and he ran straight to the old eunuch.

He saluted hastily and said:
"Eunuch Cao, aren't you employed by the Ministry of Punishment?"

"What wind brought you here?"

It turned out that this old eunuch was none other than Cao Xian.

Cao Xian looked at Zhao Bao with a smile and said:

"There's nothing we can do. Those young guys in the investigation office are always unreliable and clumsy. They have no future."

"So whenever there's an important mission, the higher-ups have no choice but to continue using this old bone of mine."

Having said that, Cao Xian patted Zhao Bao on the shoulder:
"If those guys were as capable as you, there wouldn't be any need for an old guy like me to travel all the way from the capital to the south."

"I heard that you accepted a mission to investigate the Taiping Dao and the Great Sage Master."

"This mission is indeed not easy, but I didn't expect you to do so well."

"Calculating the distance, you've probably only been in Qingzhou for a few days, and yet you've already successfully infiltrated the Taiping Dao and become a close associate of the Great Sage Master."

Zhao Bao was shocked when he heard this.

It was obvious that Cao Xian had recognized the identities of everyone on the boat.

This also made Zhao Bao slightly amazed. Cao Xian was indeed a capable official in the investigation office. It seemed that nothing could be hidden from his eyes.

Zhao Bao hurriedly explained:

"Speaking of which, it's hard to explain in a few words."

"But I have always been loyal to the Investigation Bureau and will never betray them!"

"Please listen to my explanation, Eunuch Cao."

Even Zhao Bao himself is still confused.

Why does this great and virtuous teacher keep me by his side all day long?

It cannot be said that he treated Zhao Bao with courtesy, but rather he treated Zhao Bao as one of his own.

Zhao Bao himself couldn't understand why this happened.

If others saw this, they would probably think that Zhao Bao had betrayed the Criminal Investigation Bureau and defected to the Taiping Dao.

So Zhao Bao hurriedly wanted to explain clearly.

Cao Xian waved his hand, stopping Zhao Bao's words and said with a smile:
"Just do what you're supposed to do with the mission you were given."

"Don't worry, I'm not blind. I won't think you have ulterior motives just because something is a little out of line with common sense."

"I know it clearly in my heart. What you want can only be given by the Criminal Investigation Bureau. The Taipingdao cannot give it to you."

Zhao Bao swallowed, not knowing how to respond.

He needed to guess Cao Xian's true intention in his mind for every word he said.

Especially since Cao Xian appeared here, could it be that... he has been secretly watching me?

Cao Xian laughed dryly, as if he understood Zhao Bao's guess.

He chuckled and said:
"Don't think too much, I'm just here to pick someone up."

"I didn't expect to see you standing at the bow of the ship."

"To put it bluntly, it was just a chance encounter."

"Hey! Look, it's really what I said! The person I've been waiting for has finally arrived!"

Cao Xian raised his hand and pointed towards the pier in the distance.

really.

I saw several of Cao Xian's servants welcoming a thin middle-aged man to get off the boat.

The middle-aged man seemed to have good martial arts skills. Even though the boat was bumpy, he was able to get off the boat as if it were flat ground.

The man seemed to be a doctor, and he was carrying a medicine box on his back.

Zhao Bao couldn't help but wonder:

"I seem to have seen this person's portrait in the intelligence files of the Investigation Bureau..."

"I remember now!"

"He is the number one doctor in the martial arts world, Mu Mu!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Xian nodded approvingly.

He was quite satisfied with Zhao Baoneng's careful memorization of the portraits of key figures in the martial arts world.

Then Zhao Bao asked:

"Eunuch Cao is actually waiting for this Divine Doctor Mu?"

"Could it be... that some noble person in Minzhou City is ill?"

Cao Xian said calmly:
"That's not something you should ask."

"I want to ask you a question. Does the Great Sage Master really have a way to cure the plague?"

"How effective is it, and how long does it take for a person to recover?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Bao couldn't help but look back at Liang Jin on the boat.

Liang Jin was seen sitting at the bow of the boat, looking at this side with a faint smile on his face.

Zhao Bao could only turn his back, fearing that Liang Jin would recognize his lip reading, and whispered to Cao Xian:
"Eunuch Cao, it must be true that the Great Sage Master can cure the epidemic."

"During the days I've been in Qingzhou City, I haven't seen anyone sick."

"As for whether the Great Sage Master used talismans and water to heal illnesses as the legend says, or whether he used some kind of secret medicine, I haven't figured it out yet."

"Just give me a little time, I will definitely—"

Cao Xian raised his hand again to stop Zhao Bao from speaking.

Obviously, Cao Xian was not interested in sweet words, nor was he interested in Zhao Bao's mission.

He just said:
"Since he can really cure diseases, that's enough."

Having said that, Cao Xian also looked at Liang Jin on the boat.

When their eyes met, they nodded slightly to each other.

Then Cao Xian sighed:

"What a handsome and elegant man!"

"This makes me hesitate. Should I introduce him to you?"

The appearance, image and temperament of Liang Jin's clone are simply beyond words, just like a perfect male god.

But it was precisely this overly handsome and flawless appearance that made Cao Xian hesitate.

Zhao Bao could only wait respectfully on the side, not daring to make any comments.

After a long while, Cao Xian seemed to have made a decision:
"Forget it, life is at stake, and treatment is more important."

He turned around and instructed Zhao Bao:
"Zhao Bao, I have a task for you."

"Go and invite the great and virtuous teacher to disembark and cure the disease for the noble man."

"If this thing is done well, it will be an opportunity for you and for me as well." Zhao Bao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He knew very well that Cao Xian was not a person who would casually make promises like his godfather Li Dafu.

On the contrary, Cao Xian's words are full of gold, and it is precisely because of this that Cao Xian has a unique personal charm, making his subordinates willing to work for him.

Zhao Bao is no exception.

In particular, he knew that the opportunity Cao Xian mentioned was definitely a precious and rare opportunity!
Zhao Bao immediately spoke:
"I will definitely not let Eunuch Cao down!"

After saying this, Zhao Bao hurried back.

He jumped back onto the boat docked at the pier and came to Liang Jin.

But when he faced Liang Jin's eyes, he didn't know how to start.

According to legend, the Great Sage Master can see through people's hearts.

At this moment, Zhao Bao felt as if Liang Jin had seen through him completely.

As a result, he was unable to express many of the speeches he had thought of in a short period of time.

Liang Jin smiled faintly:
"You look like you have something to ask of me."

"I don't have any other skills, but I can barely heal illnesses."

"It seems that someone wants me to treat the disease?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Bao nodded stiffly.

Sure enough, I was seen through!

This made Zhao Bao feel even more guilty.

Liang Jin continued to sigh:

"If someone else asks for it, it depends on fate."

“When there is no destiny, I will not disembark even if the emperor calls me.”

Zhao Bao was shocked when he heard this.

Such disrespectful words should not be spoken casually.

It would be fine if it were a place where there was no one around on weekdays, but there were quite a few people from the investigation agency here!

Not to mention Cao Xian, even Zhao Bao is from the Investigation Bureau.

If the police heard anyone say this, they would throw him into jail, raid his entire family, and sell his wife and daughter to a brothel run by the imperial court!
Liang Jin continued:

“But Brother Zhao Bao and I are destined to be together.”

"Since it is Brother Zhao Bao who asks you for help, I will go there."

After saying that, Liang Jin stood up.

Zhao Bao glanced awkwardly at the people around Liang Jin.

Eunuch Cao only ordered to invite Liang Jin.

Zhao Bao also saw that the genius doctor Mu Mu also got off the boat alone, and his followers were not brought along.

Liang Jin smiled and didn't care.

He asked the rest of the people to stay on the boat, and he went alone with Zhao Bao.

When Liang Jin walked onto the dock, he saw Cao Xian coming forward to greet him with a smile on his face.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Cao Xian arranged for Liang Jin to sit in a carriage, while the martial arts doctor Mu Mu sat in another carriage.

Then the guards led the way and the two carriages headed towards the city.

Liang Jin sat in the carriage and finally entered Minzhou City smoothly.

The city of Minzhou was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere.

The entire city is divided into several areas, and each area is separated by a buffer zone.

At all the important roads, soldiers were guarding with gauze covering their mouths and noses, and contact between people in different areas was strictly prohibited.

The carriages of Liang Jin and others were able to pass freely.

The rest of the people were restricted to their respective living areas.

Everywhere you look, you can see people lighting mugwort and using the smoke to fumigate everywhere.

Liang Jin was looking at these epidemic prevention measures.

But the next moment, he saw a group of different people.

This group of people were dressed in white, wearing white cloaks, wearing white scented leaf crowns on their heads, and holding white whisks in their hands.

They marched through the streets, shouting:
"The figure in white is like a fairy, and her magic skills can save people's lives."

"If only the apricot blossoms were in full bloom, the benevolent wind would sweep all around, keeping away diseases."

Whenever this group of people passed by, a large number of people would come out and kneel down to worship them.

Even many officers and soldiers saluted them respectfully.

Everyone looked solemn and still worshipped the gods.

When this group of people in white clothes stop, someone will carry out a bronze tripod.

At this time, the people would take out their silver and money and reverently place them into the bronze tripod.

When the copper tripod is filled with silver and money, the leader of the white-robed group will throw a stack of white talisman paper into the sky and shout:

"Come to the world in white, with a kind heart to help the people."

"The White-robed Master emerges, and the plague disappears!"

The white talisman paper fluttered around like a group of white butterflies.

When the people saw the white talisman papers, they rushed to grab them as if they had found a life-saving straw.

The scene was once in chaos.

Fortunately, the foreign servants who cleared the way for Liang Jin's carriage were as fierce as wolves and tigers, and they easily dispersed the people blocking the road, allowing the carriage to move forward smoothly.

Liang Jin sat in the carriage and found the scene ridiculous and absurd.

"I am..."

"Did you meet someone in the same profession?"

In Qingzhou, there was a Taiping Dao sect that wore yellow clothes and yellow scarves and used talismanic water to cure illnesses and save lives.

And in Minzhou, there is actually a group of people in white doing similar things.

"magician!"

"This is definitely a group of monsters!"

Liang Jin couldn't help but feel contempt.

Liang Jin deeply detested those evil people who deceived the people during the plague.

But Liang Jin would never compare himself with this group of monsters.

He is really treating the disease.

Liang Jin was thinking when he saw that the carriage had stopped.
