Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

Chapter 427 Kiln Builder, Fang Wenxiu Visits

Shen Zheng considered herself to be a petty person.

Even if Liu Ji had mocked her before, she had many ways to retaliate instead of just watching him take medicine indiscriminately and delay treatment, endangering his life.

She thought for a while, and finally said: "Master Liu, I guess... this medicine may not be a miracle drug, but some kind of anesthetic, just like Ma Fei San, which can numb our pain and achieve the effect of 'curing the disease'. You..."

Shen Zheng originally wanted to ask Liu Ji to stop eating, but from his perspective, this sounded like hurtful words, so she changed her words temporarily.

"If you want to continue taking it, you should see a doctor first to see if this medicine can really relieve your symptoms, and then continue taking it."

As soon as she said this, Liu Ji immediately retorted: "Sir Shen! The genius doctor did not force us to buy the medicine. The transaction depends on the willingness of both parties. If you don't believe it, then don't buy it. Why......"

Well, Shen Zheng knew what he was going to say next without him having to say anything.

——"Sir Shen, what right do you have to stop others? You are meddling too much!"

Shen Zheng looked at his excited expression and said directly: "Master Liu, I am only giving advice and will not force you to stop me. You know your own body well."

Liu Ji suppressed his impatience and turned his head away.

How nosy! How is his own health? Doesn't he know it? Does she, an outsider, need to tell him?

He didn't take Shen Zheng's words to heart, but someone else did.

After Wang Ruqian calmed down, he felt that what Shen Zheng said made more and more sense the more he listened.

Thirty taels of silver can protect your body from illness for life? This... is too good to be true.

He adhered to the seven-word mantra that "when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong" and maintained a neutral attitude.

"Liu Ji, I think what Lord Shen said makes some sense, and Lord Shen has no grudges against that miracle doctor, so why would he ruin his business? This doesn't make sense..."

Liu Ji complained in his heart when he heard this. Maybe this Lord Shen just couldn't see the good in others? Aren't there enough people like him?

Seeing that he remained silent, Wang Ruqian's face darkened, and he couldn't help but lean more towards Shen Zheng.

He said to Liu Ji with his hands behind his back, "Go back to Liuyang Mansion first, see the doctor, and then take a good rest."

"Sir!" Liu Ji didn't expect his master to chase him away, and said hurriedly: "If there is something wrong with the medicine, do you think the doctors in the city's Chinese medicine clinic will sit idly by? It's obvious that this medicine is real!"

Wang Ruqian frowned, looking worried: "Lord Shen said this medicine is fake? Didn't you understand what she meant? This medicine may only relieve pain, but your symptoms are still there!"

Liu Ji didn't expect that Shen Zheng could incite his master to rebel with just a few words, and his hatred became even stronger.

Coming to Tongan County to work was a popular job, and everyone in Beijing was scrambling to come.

——If you can show your face in front of the deputy governor of Wei, and if you can be noticed by the other party and be taken by his side, you will be able to rise to a high position.

——The second reason is that he had already heard in Beijing that Tongan County had many extraordinary features, and being able to build a wharf here would also be something he could brag about in the future.

So even if his back injury hasn't healed yet, he'd still come here on his own accord, but right now......

Liu Ji gritted his teeth. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!

"Sir, Lord Shen, I was wrong. I shouldn't have argued with you. I hope you can forgive me."

He thought that if he gave in and admitted his mistakes, he would be able to continue working in Tongan County, but Wang Ruqian was like a weight that had been weighed down on him today, and refused to listen.

"Let's not talk about right or wrong for now. After all, Lord Shen is doing this for your own good. If you really feel that your previous words and deeds were inappropriate, then go back to Liuyang Mansion and find a doctor to check your health. If you are fine... then we'll see."

Liu Ji widened his eyes, full of disbelief.

On the surface, Wang Ruqian wanted him to see a doctor, but he understood the hidden meaning in his words.

Where can't you find a doctor? Where can't you check your body?

Isn't it because he was not respectful to Lord Shen in his words just now that Wang Ruqian doesn't want to keep him working in Tongan County?

His jaw muscles bulged, and he argued for himself one last time: "Sir, I am fine. I want to stay by your side to do my job. I hope you will grant my wish!"

Wang Ruqian said nothing, but waved his hand behind his back and said, "Go back to Liuyang Mansion and ask Pan Lin to come over."

"Your subordinate... obeys your command."

Liu Ji glared at Wang Ruqian's back and hated him too.

I had worked for him for many years, but he refused to believe anything I said. Instead, a yellow-haired girl whom I had just met bewitched him with just a few words.

Just ridiculous.

Liu Ji turned around and left angrily, but couldn't help thinking: Wang Ruqian and others don't believe in him, doesn't it just happen to mean that they have no chance of becoming a miracle doctor?

Later on...

Hahahaha - you deserve it!

......

After Liu Ji left, Wang Ruqian said a few nice words to Shen Zheng, but they were all blocked by Shen Zheng.

In fact, whether Liu Ji believed her or not, hated her or not, her heart was like the surface of an autumn lake, without any ripples.

But this matter concerns the people of Liuyang Prefecture, and Li Shiyuan is not in Tongan County now. All Shen Zheng can do is to write to Yu Zhengqing and ask him to investigate the matter further.

Thirty taels of silver is enough to crush an ordinary family.

Let’s not talk about the money, let’s talk about the “magic medicine”.

If the "miracle medicine" you bought at a high price does not cure the disease, but delays the treatment or even ruins your body...

This is the biggest blow to a person and a family, and she cannot just watch this happen.

Shen Zheng walked away, preparing to return to the county school to write a letter to Yu Zhengqing.

"Ta-da-ta-da-"

Hearing the sound of horse hooves behind her, Shen Zheng thought it was Yu Shizhang or Liang Fu coming, so she turned around to look.

When she saw it clearly, she was stunned, "The Fang family's carriage... Fang Wenxiu?"

After a moment she smiled suddenly.

It was no wonder Fang Wenxiu was well-informed. Even if it was for the sake of exchanging benefits, he did help her a lot. A gentleman judges deeds rather than intentions. She should also express her gratitude to the Fang family.

"Uu——"

The carriage stopped, Fang Wenxiu stuck his head out, and jumped off the carriage in two or three steps.

He bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord Shen. How are you these days? I came here rashly, I hope Lord Shen will forgive me."

A man followed him down the carriage. He stepped back half a step, raised his hand and introduced to Shen Zheng: "Sir Shen, this is the best kiln repairman in Quanyang County. His surname is Cheng."

Shen Zheng looked at the middle-aged master and thought that Fang Wenxiu had a "legitimate reason" to be the master.

She stepped forward and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that the master chef I'm looking for is also familiar with Master Fang."
