Chapter 360 Two Sly Foxes

Now that Guo Inspector, Hejian County King and others have come, naturally the few apprentices Mu Jiaojiao took in couldn't hold back, and expressed that they would also follow in the footsteps of their master.

After discussing with Cui Pu, Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu left only one person to sit in Hailing County and bring young apprentices, and two people to serve the veterans in Gaoling County. A new hospital opened in the city.

And with the opening of the new medical clinic, Mu Jiaojiao decided to let the apprentices recruit a group of young apprentices.

Although the apprentices have only been with her for just over three years, but because they have solid basic skills, after Mu Jiaojiao's instruction in the past three years, coupled with almost non-stop practice, each of them has improved rapidly in medical skills. It is enough to pull out and take charge of one's own side.So now, it is completely feasible for them to accept apprentices.

But as soon as the news of the opening of the new medical clinic was announced, some people couldn't sit still.

On this day, the owners of several medicine halls in Yangzhou City met in a restaurant to discuss the matter.

"Originally in Hailing County, once the Namu's Shengshengtang came out, it almost blocked the life of other medical clinics. But Hailing County is small, and there were not many good medical clinics, so the people all ran there , other medical clinics dare not say anything. But now, the medical clinics in our city of Yangzhou are all running well, and the old doctors inside are all veterans, even if their medical skills are not as good as this magistrate who is a genius Madam, is it possible that she can’t even compare with her few young apprentices? But because of her brand name of miraculous doctor lady, the common people are now rushing to Mu’s Shengshengtang, and the business of our several medical centers is not as good as before. One day. For this matter, we must come up with a charter together! Otherwise, we will go to drink the northwest wind together soon!"

The person who spoke was Ge Cangzhu, the head of the most prestigious medical family in Yangzhou City. They started their business with acupuncture, and now their acupuncture techniques are second to none in the entire Yangzhou Prefecture.But ever since Mu Jiaojiao rescued Liu San who committed suicide by hitting the wall with a golden needle at the gate of the government office that day, the reputation of Ge's acupuncture and moxibustion has been severely impacted.

But fortunately, the medicine hall that Mu Jiaojiao later opened was in Hailing County, and the service objects were naturally mainly the people of Hailing County.Although people in other places admire Jiaojiao's name, it is too troublesome to go to Hailing County. If it is just a minor illness, everyone naturally chooses to solve it in the medical center in front of their house.

In particular, Yangzhou City is the capital of Yangzhou Prefecture. The medical resources here are generally much better than Hailing County, so the impact is minimal.

But now that Mu Jiaojiao came to Yangzhou City, the situation is different.

As early as when he learned that Cui Pu was promoted to the magistrate of Yangzhou, Ge Cangzhu's heart began to beat up and down.And now, the facts also proved his guess - Mu Jiaojiao really planned to spread the medicine wherever he went!

This incident had a huge impact on the medicine halls in the entire Yangzhou city, so he quickly gathered a group of people to discuss countermeasures together.

There are 36 medical clinics in Yangzhou City, which belong to nine families, of which the Ge family occupies seven of them.The remaining ones occupy the most, but only four, and the least occupy one.

But Ge Cangzhu's concerns were also their concerns.So Ge Cangzhu posted a post asking them to come, and they all came.Hearing what Ge Cangzhu said now, they all looked sad.

"Ordinarily, anyone who wants to open a medicine hall in Yangzhou City must first come to our Yangzhou Medicine Association to say hello, and then proceed with our approval. However, the one who opens the medicine hall right now is the magistrate's wife. We dare to let her come Say hello to us? Do we dare not agree to her request?" Another man with slender cheeks narrowed his eyes.

Yangzhou is located in a prosperous place with a lot of people coming and going. There are already a lot of local people living here, and now there are more and more people from outside.Anyone who is a person will get sick, so opening a medicine hall is definitely a profitable business.It's just that these nine families have been controlling the pharmacy business in Yangzhou for these years, and it's a fool's dream for outsiders to come in and get a share of the pie.

And even if someone came to clear up the relationship, they still have a lot of ways to squeeze them out.After all, in terms of relationship and qualifications, these old Yangzhou people are much deeper than the newcomers.As long as they think about it, they won't have to worry about finding a way to torment people.For example, if you carry a seriously ill patient to the entrance of the new medicine hall, your doctor should be cured, if it is not cured, then it means that your medical skills are not good, and you are here to seek money and kill!You are black-hearted and ruthless things from top to bottom, and you are all uneasy and kind-hearted!
Otherwise, start from the medicinal materials in the shop and secretly ask people to mix some fake medicines into it; or it is estimated that one of the medicinal materials that has been grasped will be replaced by a medicinal material with a similar name or a similar appearance, but the properties of the medicine are vastly different, and then sue them. ...

All these things, these years they have joined hands to do this kind of thing, and they have gradually controlled the entire pharmaceutical market in Yangzhou City, watching a lot of money roll into their arms every year.

But now, this newcomer is the wife of the magistrate, do you have the ability to touch her?
That is the person who has treated many high officials in the court, and she is also the daughter-in-law of the court elder.Her husband is now the boss of Yangzhou Mansion, and he is even more domineering.Who dares to provoke him, there is only one word - death!And as long as anyone dares to touch the person he cares about, the end will be even worse - life is worse than death!
Everything that Cui Pu has done has caused uproar in the entire Yangzhou Mansion, and they have all heard of it.Now they are given a hundred guts, and they dare not trip up the magistrate's wife!

This is exactly where they have a headache.Otherwise, these people would not gather together to discuss in a serious manner.

"But, we can't just sit and watch that Mu's Shengshengtang family dominates and crowd out all of us, can we?" Another human said, "We want to live!"

"Isn't that the reason?" Ge Cangzhu nodded hastily, "Once the Mu's Shengshengtang opens, our pharmacy will probably close down and go out of business. This is going to force us to die! As long as they are gentler, we won't It’s just that worrying is not the way to go, everyone should discuss it and come up with a solution together! Otherwise, we can only go to the magistrate’s wife to let us live!”

When the others heard this, they couldn't help sneering in their hearts——Good Ge Cangzhu, you are going to drag us all into the water!
Who doesn't know that the few apprentices taught by the magistrate's wife are all good at acupuncture, which naturally collides with your family's old profession.But now Yangzhou City has the most medicine halls belonging to your family, and you have been hit the hardest.So no matter what, you have to stand up and fight for your rights.

But now, you have tied all of us together, and you still want to encourage us to go to the magistrate's wife to make trouble!This is clearly asking us to accompany you to die!
On weekdays, the seven pharmacies owned by your family took almost half of the business in Yangzhou City, and forced us to buy medicines from your pharmacy.It can be said that we all pick up the leftovers from your family to make a living.We all recognize it, who told you that the Ge family is deeply rooted in Yangzhou City, so we can't fight it?
It's good now, when something happens, you, the boss, immediately shrink your neck and pretend to be a grandson?

When sharing benefits, you want a large share and drive everyone else out.And when it comes to facing danger, you actually want to share the risk equally?You can't help but think things too beautifully!

Immediately someone stood up and said: "This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run! Anyway, I don't dare to offend Madam Zhifu. Anyway, our Lu family only opened a medicine store in Yangzhou City. If it is really squeezed out and there is no way out, it will be a big deal Don’t do this business!”

The Lu family is considered a big family in Yangzhou City.Their focus is actually on the silk business, and the owner of the Lu family wanted to open a medicine store to make money, so he invited a few old doctors with good medical skills to open this medicine hall.They just squeezed into this market to get a piece of the pie, and their ambition wasn't too big, which was within the tolerance of the Ge family, so their medicine hall has survived until now.The Patriarch of the Lu family didn't show up today, he just sent a steward over.

Hearing this, Ge Cangzhu became very angry.

He called these people together just to stir up everyone's emotions, so that everyone can go to negotiate with the magistrate's wife and let her take a step back.As a result, now, he didn't even say a few words, and someone backed out unexpectedly!
But with Guanshi Lu taking the lead, the others also showed a relaxed look, and their words were limp, with no momentum at all.

Today's party is in vain!
Ge Cangzhu cried out in his heart - is he really going to sit and wait for death?
Seeing that the scene was out of control, he heard a slight knocking sound coming from outside.He shouted angrily: "Who is it? Didn't I tell you that without our order, the idlers are not allowed to come and disturb you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an unusually humble voice say: "A certain surname Cui is the housekeeper of the current magistrate's mansion. He learned that people from the Yangzhou City Medicine Association gathered here today, so he sent a post to you on behalf of my wife. coming."

These calm words were like a thunderclap on the ground, blowing away all the brains!

Ge Cangzhu's complexion was even paler, and even sitting on the grand master's chair was crumbling.

The housekeeper in the magistrate's mansion is still surnamed Cui, isn't he the little Si'er next to Cui Pu?However, only the prefect and the prefect's wife can call the name Xiaosi'er now.Now in Yangzhou Mansion, whoever sees him can't respectfully call Fourth Master Cui?

And just now, Cui Siye came to the door on behalf of the magistrate's wife, and he yelled at him so impolitely, isn't this asking for death?This Cui Fourth Master grew up with Cui Zhifu since he was a child, and he is like a brother with Cui Zhifu!

It's over, it's over, he's asking for a dead end!
But thinking so in his heart, he didn't dare to delay at all. He jumped up from the chair in a hurry, and he arrived at the door before the person closest to the door, and opened the door with his own hands, with a bright smile on his face. He was the one who spoke rudely.

"Fourth Master Cui, please come in!" He hurriedly said courteously to Xiao Si'er, and then loudly ordered to Dr. Tea, "Hurry up and bring up the best tea you have here, as well as dim sum, and put them all away. of!"

Xiao Si'er stood at the door, glanced inside, then smiled and said: "Everyone is here today, that would be great. I won't go in, here is my wife's post, each of you will get a copy Bar!"

Ge Cangzhu hurriedly took over the posts respectfully, and distributed them to other people one by one.

Everyone opened the post with their hands, and their faces turned red and green, and it became more and more exciting.

Xiao Si'er took their performance into consideration, then nodded and said: "Since the post has been delivered, so-and-so should go too. So-and-so still has something to do, so I won't disturb you all, and please attend on time when the time comes."

"That's that, that is, Madam Zhifu sincerely invites us, how dare we not go? We will all go then!" Ge Cangzhu nodded and bowed, agreeing wholeheartedly.

Little Four nodded, then turned around and left.

A group of people sent him out of the gate of the restaurant, and when they turned around, everyone showed bitter faces.

"Master Ge, what do you think we should do now? I'm afraid there won't be any good banquets right now!" Steward Lu shook his post and said, "Madam Zhifu is very shrewd. She already knew we were dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything. Until today, when we gathered here, we sent someone to catch us all! Does this mean that our every move is actually under her control?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's face changed drastically.

Ge Cangzhu's lips trembled too, but he immediately lowered his face and said: "But no matter what, it is a fact that her clinic has robbed our business. Even if she is the prefect's wife, she can't do this! She is too domineering." Yes! I have to discuss this matter with her, and she must give us an explanation!"

This is so weak...they couldn't bear to listen to it.

After hearing everyone's reactions from Xiaosi'er, Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly: "Okay, I understand. You have worked hard today, and now I will give you half a day off. You can go back and be with your daughter!"

Xiao Si'er quickly thanked him, and then ran away in a hurry.

Hongdou gave birth to a little girl last year, and she was also very cute and cute. The little girl really cared about this daughter, and felt uncomfortable if she didn't hug her every day.

After Mu Jiaojiao knew about it, he often used this matter to laugh at Cui Pu, saying that he and Xiao Si'er really deserved to be masters and servants, and they both had exactly the same taste.Cui Pu was very proud, whenever she said something, he would nod in agreement, as if it was something worth showing off.

But now, as soon as Xiao Si'er left, Cui Pu looked at her and said, "Are you really planning to meet those people? Your current physical condition..."

"How can I use me to deal with those men? I'm just posting, and other things can be settled with the help of Chang Taiyi. I have already discussed everything with him. He stole so many things from me. Didn't you express something?" Mu Jiaojiao said with a shallow smile, then yawned again.

Cui Pu nodded immediately: "You are right! It would be best to leave this matter to him!"

At this very moment, the Imperial Physician Chang whom they were talking about was facing a thick stack of densely written paper, wanting to cry without tears.

"I was fooled! I was fooled again! I knew that this young couple is not a good thing. If you eat their food, you must pay back double, otherwise they won't agree!"

"These two... two cunning foxes!"
