Chapter 741 Fire?

Wang Xiping was in a bad mood. He spent 5000 taels of silver, to put it bluntly, just to buy this piece of land.

And the medical center is just an attached gift, but it is better to have this gift than not to have it.

The appearance of Wang Xiping and Sun Lao immediately attracted other people on the street, and they all stopped to look at Wang Xiping curiously.

More people quickened their pace as they passed by the medical hall, as if some kind of hell existed here.

"Hey, go in and have a look." He didn't like the way those people looked at him like a fool.

Mr. Sun immediately stepped forward and pushed the door open, and the dust was blowing up Wang Xiping's head and face along with the wind.

"I'm sorry sir, I haven't had time to find someone to clean it yet." Elder Sun apologized.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't make any difference whether the place is cleaned or not."

The counter inside, the medicine cabinet behind the counter, and the consultation area are all carefully subdivided, and there are even small rooms for different diseases.

It can be seen that the original intention of the establishment of the medical center is indeed to get good medical treatment, but who would want to spread that kind of shit.

"Sir, the medical center has three floors. The first floor is where you see a doctor, and the second floor is where medicinal materials are stored. The two burned rooms are on the second floor." Sun Lao led Wang Xiping around casually, letting Wang Xiping knew something in his mind: "The third floor is where the doctors and servants used to live."

"How many people are there in the hospital now?"

"Not many, just three people." Sun Lao said: "It's just that after the fire, they didn't come, they have been resting at home. Do you think these people still need it?"

"Yes, why not?"

The Meilaiyuan Medical Center was so unlucky that no one came to apply for the job. Now there are several people.

"Call them all here, and I'll question them one by one." Wang Xiping asked Mr. Sun to call them, while he went up to the second floor.

The space on the second floor looks much larger than that on the first floor. There is a sign hanging on the door, which records in detail the types and efficacy of the medicinal materials in the room.

The walls around the last two rooms had become black, and it seemed that these two rooms were where the fire broke out.

Wang Xiping went over and took a closer look. The fire started from inside. Strange to say, the sign on the door that recorded the type was missing.

Pushing open the door, a smell of soot mixed with the strange smell of burnt medicinal materials covered Wang Xiping's face.

There are a few wooden shelves in the medicine room, very similar to the ones I saw in the basement of Mr. Wang before, but the wood and materials are very particular, and the ones that are not easy to be ignited are specially selected. Preserved wood.

The builder must have thought of the problem of fire at the beginning, so the damage to the wood was not serious, but the medicinal materials on the shelf were burned.

Wang Xiping touched the dust on the shelf, smelled it with his nose, and sighed in his heart what a pity.

Although it had turned into ashes, he could still smell a few precious medicinal herbs. For Xiao Lin, who lacked medical resources, this kind of loss was already immeasurable.

"Sir." Old Sun's voice came from downstairs: "I called everyone."

"So fast?" Wang Xiping was a little surprised, but he quickly exited the room and went downstairs.

Downstairs stood a woman and two men, both young, probably between 20 and 30 years old.

But everyone had a look of panic on their faces, and they didn't even dare to breathe when they saw Wang Xiping.

"This is your new master in the future." Boss Sun raised his face, "Don't you call me?"

"Hello, sir." The three shouted timidly in unison.

Wang Xiping nodded: "Report your name first, then your age, and then tell me how long you have been working here."

After the three of them glanced at each other, the younger boy stood up: "Mr. Hui, my name is San Shunzi, I'm 26 this year, and I've worked here for three years."

The other one saw his companion talking, and boldly said: "My name is Wang Goudan. I'm 22 this year! I've been here for five years."

Wang Xiping looked at Wang Goudan in surprise: "You have been doing this for so long?"

"Hmm... um... The previous shopkeeper has something to do with me." Wang Goudan blushed, "Just..."

"Were you there when the accident happened?" Wang Xiping asked about the poisoning of a street person.

Wang Goudan panicked all of a sudden: "Sir, this... this matter has nothing to do with me. I don't know anything. When the accident happened, I happened to go to the next village to buy goods. I only heard about it when I came back."

Wang Xiping waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, I'm just curious. How about you?"

He looked at the woman. The woman was not very old, but she had the ultimate style in her gestures, even if she was wearing coarse clothes, she couldn't hide it.

The woman leisurely blessed her body: "My slave's name is Hong Ling. I have worked here for the longest time, eight years. As for the age, sorry, I have no comment."

It was completely different from the trembling feeling just now.

However, Wang Xiping frowned upon hearing her address to him.

Elder Sun added from the side: "Sir, she is Master Meng's concubine..."

That is, the Meng family?

But judging by her attire, she doesn't look like a concubine of a rich family.

Hong Ling seemed to have seen through Wang Xiping's thoughts, and burst out laughing: "After the master's accident, I was kicked out of the Meng Mansion and had nowhere to go, so I could only live in the dilapidated hospital. After that haunted fire, I'm not going to move out again."

"Haunted fire?"

The two big men were obviously not as calm as Hong Ling, and when they heard this sentence, their whole bodies began to tremble again.

"Sir, you don't know?" Hong Ling was a little surprised, "Everyone in Xiaolin knew about this, and they said yes, the ghosts of the people who were poisoned on the street back then came back to take revenge."

"Stop it!" San Shunzi scolded, unable to hide his fear in his words.

Hongling glanced at him with all kinds of flair: "Could it be that what I said was wrong?"

"Sister Hongling..." Wang Goudan also panicked: "It was agreed not to mention this matter, why did you..."

"Brother Goudan, if you don't mention it, it doesn't mean that this matter doesn't exist. Since this gentleman is our new master, there are some things that we need to know, right?" Hong Ling blinked her ecstatic eyes and made a doggy face more red.

San Shunzi obviously didn't like what Hong Ling said, and the expression on his face became more and more dissatisfied.

Elder Sun frowned and said, "There are no ghosts and gods in the world who say that, so stop talking nonsense."

"It doesn't matter, I want to hear the mystery of the fire. I just checked upstairs, and the fire started from inside." Wang Xiping looked at Hongling, showing an ambiguous smile.

Hong Ling was taken aback, but she was not as shy as a little girl, and said directly: "If Mister doesn't dislike it, I will speak up boldly. If there is anything wrong, I hope Mister will not blame you."
