Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 68 Blessed with Abundant Fortune (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

I wonder what kind of temperament the new prefect appointed by the imperial court will have? Will he thoroughly investigate the cause of death of the previous prefect and find the murderer?
It's highly likely they will; the Golden Scale Guards might even be mobilized.

'However, such a thing will not happen for the time being. It's a long and arduous journey, and the imperial court really can't afford to chase down the culprits and arrest them in less than a month or two. The most important thing is naturally to stabilize the local area.'

In another month or two, my skills will have improved considerably, allowing me to handle things with ease, so I won't need to worry too much about minor matters.

We arrived at the entrance of Huichuntang.

The crowds here have thinned out considerably.

Although some onlookers were still peering in, the tone of the discussion had already subtly shifted.

The root of the change, of course, lies with the old woman who had been presumed dead.

It must be said that my father Lu Changfeng's medical skills are truly impeccable.

The old woman, who was already 99% dead, stood in front of Huichuntang, stretching out her hands and feet with a face full of surprise, and thanking them repeatedly.

"Thank you so much, Doctor Lu, for saving me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to die in peace even in the underworld..."

As she spoke, she spat fiercely at the dead man, Ni Hu, and cursed, "This man is vicious. He barged into my house and forced me to drink a bowl of medicine... I was so weak and powerless that I was almost killed by him."

The onlookers were in an uproar.

This confirms that Ni Hu and Constable Yan's previous accusations that Huichuntang caused deaths were entirely malicious and a deliberate attempt to frame them.

From this perspective, it's not unjust for Constable Yan and the other constables, or even Ni Hu and those江湖人 (jianghu people), to die.

On the contrary, the monkey-faced mad swordsman and the Shen siblings were doing good deeds.

"Well done."

Recalling the scene of the monkey-faced man taking lives with his sword, the crowd felt less fear and more admiration.

Everyone keeps a mental record.

It's still possible to distinguish who is right and who is wrong.

Thinking of Lu Changfeng, the owner of Huichuntang, who was so wronged yet still insisted on saving people, his actions were truly admirable.

"Dr. Lu, my lower back has been hurting for a while now, could you please take a look..."

"Dr. Lu, around noon, I always feel a heavy pressure in my chest, as if a stone is pressing on it. I don't know why."

"Dr. Lu, my grandson has been coughing for days and can't sleep at all..."

Seeing his father surrounded by the crowd, his old face beaming like a chrysanthemum, Lu Wubing shook his head, stepped back into the crowd, and returned to the Lu family home.

……

"Senior Brother, get up quickly. Senior Brother..."

A lean young man was shaking Yue Lingfeng on the bed with all his might, his voice tinged with panic.

"Is it dawn yet? I haven't had enough to drink yet, and let me tell you... well, Jin Yutang's Hundred Flowers Wine is really good."

"Sixth, Sixth Junior Brother, let's drink another jar."

"We might as well drink ourselves to death. If Master finds out we've been drinking all night, I'm afraid..."

"What? Master has arrived?"

Yue Lingfeng was so frightened that her body trembled, and she turned over too quickly and fell off the bed.

Fortunately, he was extremely agile.

Before it even landed, a hand reached out and struck, flipping it over to its feet.

The drowsy feeling on his face was immediately dispelled by the cool breeze outside, and he let out a sour burp, now completely sober.

Sixth junior brother Yuan Fei sighed softly, rubbed his forehead, covered his nose, and moved a little further away.

Looking back, he saw that Big Yellow, who had followed him down the mountain, was now retreating in disgust.

Even dogs dislike it.

This wine has a strong aftereffect.

"I didn't see Master, and I don't know if he has returned to the mountain. Master's wife has already gone down the mountain. I secretly saw her fighting with Gu Dongting of the East Sea Sword Sect in the crowd earlier."

"Where's Junior Sister? Has she come down the mountain yet...?"

Yuan Fei rolled his eyes.

When I open my eyes, it's still my junior sister; when I close my eyes, it's still my junior sister. Senior brother, you're still not sober.

Yue Lingfeng also felt that he was being a bit ridiculous, and explained: "My master's wife has profound swordsmanship, and her cultivation level broke through to the second rank three years ago. No matter how strong Gu Dongting is, he can't possibly be her match."

My only worry is that my master's wife might lose her temper and kill the leader of the East Sea Sword Sect, thus offending the martial arts world. It's not that I'm not worried about her safety.

"Go explain this to your master's wife and see if she'll beat you so badly you'll be bedridden for three days."

Senior Brother, you should be more careful. Didn't you say you were going to earn that Emerald Lake hairpin for Junior Sister?
"If we don't guard Shuofang Pavilion, how can we catch that thief?"

"Sixth Junior Brother, you don't know this. Think about it, that thief is known as the 'Star-Picking and Moon-Grabbing Hand,' and he has earned such a great reputation that no one can do anything to him. He must be very proud of himself."

When people are doing well, they want to share it with others and celebrate.

He has plenty of money and wants to celebrate, so shouldn't he eat and drink something nice?

And in this Mingyang City, the best restaurant is Zuihuju.

If he doesn't come here, where else can he go?
Senior brother, I'm just waiting here like this, waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump... Yes, waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump..."

"That's not entirely unreasonable."

Yuan Fei was so confused by what he said that he actually thought his senior brother's plan was quite feasible.

Before he could figure out what was wrong...

Then Yue Lingfeng said, "Let's go, let's find another private room, preferably a quiet and secluded place."

Those thieves, well, they're not really comfortable drinking in a busy lobby; if they want to come here for entertainment, they'll try to avoid people.

Alright, let's not talk about thieves anymore.

In the end, he still wanted to drink, and more importantly, he wanted to avoid his master's wife. Hearing this, Yuan Fei finally realized what was going on.

"Let me tell you, Senior Brother, something big happened in Mingyang City today."

"Let's talk while we drink."

The two walked arm in arm out of the backyard and arrived at the elegant pavilion on the left side of Drunken Lake Residence...

……

Before I knew it, the sun was setting.

Lu Changfeng, who had been busy all afternoon, saw the still crowded flow of people outside Huichuntang.

He let out a long breath and stretched.

After all that had happened at Huichuntang, he had sent someone home to let them know he was safe, and then some constables came to clean up the mess.

Seeing the many patients' eagerness for treatment, he couldn't bear it and simply stayed at Huichuntang to treat them.

These minor setbacks did not dampen his enthusiasm for treating and saving lives.

He sometimes thinks back to when he was a child, and his father was just like that.

Even if there is a bloody battle right in front of you, and someone is killing each other, you should still get medical treatment.

As long as you're not stabbed in the back, you won't let a myriad of complicated matters affect your peaceful state of mind.

"If a doctor can't even calm his own mind, how can he possibly cure his patients?"

My father's words still echo in my ears.

Many years have passed since then; it's been a long time.

Should the clinic be closed or not?

Looking at the slightly mottled walls inside the Mingyang City Medical Clinic, Lu Changfeng felt a little reluctant to leave.

He personally selected the locations and pulled strings to establish each of the Huichuntang clinics in major cities.

Furthermore, he personally oversaw the project for a period of time, which helped him build his reputation.

A few days ago, he had already sent people to various cities to gradually reduce operations and close clinics.

Apart from Weijing and Mingyang City, the other branch museums are presumably already up for sale...

After a lifetime of hard work, this is the end result.

"Cheng Guang, that's settled then. We'll take down the plaque tonight and proceed as planned."

"Master, this is a good thing..."

"Don't mention him."

Lu Changfeng thought of the doctor who had followed him to learn his skills and practice medicine for fifteen years, and felt a pang of pain in his heart. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Everyone has their own ambitions. I can understand his choice, but I will not forgive his actions..."

Although Huichuntang is a medical clinic, it also has its own rules. Follow them.

"Yes, boss."

The middle-aged man with a black beard bowed slightly, his head lowered in response.

……

I just got back to my front door.

Lu Changfeng saw Chen Yulian leaning against the door, with a green-clad maidservant beside her, craning her neck to look around.

His heart warmed, and he chuckled softly, "It's alright, nothing will happen. Madam, don't worry, come inside."

I've always been blessed with good fortune and a strong constitution. The fortune teller said I'll have great luck this year, and that I'll have helpful people in everything I do.

"Keep bragging! If it weren't for that monkey-faced benefactor, you wouldn't be here today..."

Chen Yulian had a stern face, wanting to be angry, but looking at Lu Changfeng's ingratiating smile, she couldn't muster any anger.

Thinking about the turmoil of the past few days, I was overwhelmed with emotions and tears streamed down my face.

“We will no longer practice medicine. Mingyang Huichuntang has closed down. In a few days, once things have calmed down, we will go to the capital.”

"That's right under the emperor's nose, and with my father-in-law looking after me, I can rest assured."

After a moment of silence, Lu Changfeng spoke softly.

This was Chen Yulian's long-cherished wish.

But he never agreed.

What kind of man goes to live with his father-in-law?

However, after experiencing this incident, he also came to a realization...

Life is short, so just be happy. There's really no need to worry about too much.

"That's daring."

Chen Yulian was slightly pleased, but also a little hesitant. Thinking that the capital was indeed much safer, she nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Is he healthy? Did he go back to the mountains? He didn't even stay home for a few more days. The children are all grown up now..."

"He didn't go back to the mountain. He was very pale earlier and went into the house without eating. He said he wanted to cultivate. Master, please go and see him."

Chen Yulian said worriedly.

Over the years, I've never eaten pork, but I've seen pigs run. My family runs a clinic, so how could I not tell if someone is sick or injured?

She suspected that her son might have been seriously injured and was keeping it from her so as not to worry her.
