Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

"really?"

Xia Bai'an became somewhat interested.

According to the information she inquired before, although Ji Shitang can't be regarded as covering the sky with one hand, the members of the Qin family are indeed good at being human. The imperial doctors who went to the imperial hospital all had private contacts, and they even attracted many dignitaries. , almost firmly in his own hands.

Years of painstaking efforts and paving of roads have allowed him to monopolize medical resources in the capital.

The dignitaries are willing to endorse Ji Shitang, and Ji Shitang is not stingy about using some of his own channels to hook up with the nobles.

Xia Bai'an even heard some rumors - for example, the news of some seriously ill people was handed over to the hostile dignitaries, and when the dignitaries took advantage of the opportunity to bite the enemy to death, Ji Shitang's status in the dignitaries' circle would become more accurate. .

Among them, Ji Shitang sells a lot of the tricks of the poor family.

The boss nodded seriously when he heard this.

"To tell you the truth, the small one is just a businessman. You can't offend Ji Shitang, and you can't climb up to Wei Guogong's mansion. Now I tell you that I only heard that you are a hero of the epidemic chaos, and you are more kind to the inferior people. That’s why you should be careful about what you say.”

"I don't like the word inferior." Xia Bai'an raised his eyebrows.

The boss laughed: "I made a mistake, so do you still want to hear about Mrs. Wei Guogong?"

"please say."

"Wei Guogong used to be the minister of the humerus of the founding of the country, and then the old disease relapsed and died. Today, Wei Guogong's wife is the orphan daughter of the founding general. She is good at medicine and kind-hearted. She is about the same age as the prime minister's wife, and the two are close friends. Mrs. Wei Guogong once also treated the prime minister's wife, and they have a good relationship."

As the boss said, he took another deep look at Xia Bai'an, "If Mrs. Xiaowei can use the Prime Minister's wife as a bridge to connect with Mrs. Wei Guogong who doesn't leave the door, Mrs. Wei Guogong knows that you opened the clinic to treat diseases and save people, and she will definitely be willing to help .”

Xia Bai'an suddenly realized, but he just didn't understand: "It's strange, I haven't heard anything about Wei Guogong's mansion. Didn't his heirs become officials in the court, or were they in business?"

The boss sighed: "Mrs. Wei Guogong is a bodhisattva, but it's a pity...the heavens don't show mercy, and there is no child under her knees. There is only one princess who claimed from a relative's family under her knees, and she has already gone to the fief to be married."

Only then did Qian Mingshu understand.

"No wonder I haven't heard of it. She didn't show up in the capital."

Xia Bai'an pondered for a moment, but smiled at the boss.

Seeing those fox-like eyes sweeping towards him, the boss was actually sweating on his forehead, he was puzzled and asked, "Why is Madam looking at me like this?"

"The boss's words are very strange." Xia Bai'an stood up leisurely, and looked down at the bowed boss, "You know that I am the wife of the captain, and that the two humerus ministers of Wei Guogong's family are the founders of the country. If you go there, it doesn't seem like you're running a medical clinic, but it seems like you're trying to win over something."

The boss's body stiffened for a moment.

Qian Mingshu was startled at this moment, and just as he was reacting, he saw the boss suddenly pull out a sharp long knife from his bosom and stab Xia Bai'an.

Qian Mingshu's eyes were slightly cold, and he kicked off the long knife with his foot.

The boss, who was trembling just now, actually threw a smoke bomb and left in a huff.

In the blink of an eye, Qian Mingshu still wanted to chase after him, but Xia Bai'an grabbed his cuff.

"That's not the real boss."

"What?" Qian Mingshu raised his eyebrows.

"The real boss should be nearby, let's look for it." Xia Bai'an looked calm, and dragged him to the backyard to find someone.

Sure enough, the two found the knocked out boss in the woodshed in the backyard.

The boss looked confused. Regarding the matter of Wei Guogong, the boss almost knelt down: "What is the status of Wei Guogong? How dare you give such a bad idea to Madam! Madam, please recognize that there is indeed someone who came here just now." , knocked me out, everything has nothing to do with me!"

Qian Mingshu squatted down, pinched the boss's face and looked at it carefully.

It doesn't look the same as the boss just now, the only similarity is the two mustaches.

He was puzzled: "Xia Bai'an, how did you see it?"

"He said it himself. He is just an ordinary businessman, and he only knows a little about Jishitang. The Duke of Wei's mansion doesn't go out to meet people all the year round. He rarely sees outsiders. He is a person who can't sell antiques and goes to farm. know these?"

When Xia Bai'an said this, he patted his chest with lingering fear, "I just didn't expect him to attack suddenly. If you weren't here, I would either die or be injured today."

Hearing this, Qian Mingshu broke into a thin layer of cold sweat instantly.

He threw away the boss and stood up: "Such a dangerous thing, you see why you don't prepare in advance, so you are not afraid of accidents!"

"Isn't this because you are by my side? And I've thought about it, there has been a lot of noise in the capital recently because of murders in dark alleys, and strict investigations have been made. Even if the other party has a grudge against me or Mo Che, it may not be true. " Xia Bai'an sneered.

"you!"

Qian Mingshu was so angry that he flicked his sleeves, "You really didn't learn any lessons about the hole last time. I won't help you if you encounter such a danger next time!"

Xia Bai'an looked at him puzzled.

She clearly believed in Qian Mingshu instead of ignoring her own danger, why was he so angry?

When Xia Bai'an had no choice but to talk about buying a shop with the boss again, the boss said exactly the same as the counterfeit before: "Ji Shitang is by the side, we small businessmen dare not make mistakes. Otherwise, Ji Shitang will contact any dignitary, move our fingers, You can tell me to stay away from the capital completely."

"That's all. I've been bothering you a lot today, so I'll leave first." Xia Bai'an cupped his hands slightly.

But the boss staggered to catch up, sweating profusely.

"Today, thanks to my wife's rescue, I'm afraid I'm going to die in the backyard and no one will know... I won't be able to accept this shop for a while, but if you like it, you have to find a way to find a backer." , I can save you a winter day."

Xia Bai'an's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Of course it's true! After all, you have outstanding medical skills. I'm young. My wife is really weak. I've gone to Jishitang many times but it doesn't work. I also want to invite you..."

"Yes, in two days, when your carriage arrives at the door, I will follow you to see your wife. I am happy to help you with the medical treatment. As for the shop, whether to leave or stay, the boss can decide on his own business. After all, friends are rare. There are many shops."

As soon as this remark came out, the boss was flattered and sent them all the way to the door.

Qian Mingshu sneered coldly: "They leave you a shop, but you don't even need it?"

"The shop is dead, but the favor is alive. In the capital, no matter how remote the shop is, as long as it is appreciated by the rich and powerful, you can eat for a year once you open the door, which shows the importance of favor." Xia Bai'an walked out side by side with him, "By the way You don't need to tell Mo Che what happened today, lest he use his brain to guess who did it..."

"What is it that I don't need to know?"

A familiar voice came from behind.
