Qing Dynasty During the Kangxi period, there was a rich man named Zhao in Shuntian Prefecture . He was usually friendly and kind. At the age of 40, his wife gave birth to a fat boy for him, which was very popular.
But on this day, the rich man Zhao walked back and forth in front of the door, looking around in an anxious look on his face.
After about one stick of incense, the door opened and a doctor walked out of the door. The rich man Zhao immediately greeted him: "How is it? Doctor Xue? Is my Jing'er saved?"
Dr. Xue shook his head and said, "Master Zhao, it's really strange for the young master. I have never felt the pulse for him, sometimes without any, very weak. This is the first time I have seen this situation. I am really sorry for Mr. Zhao, I...ah!"
Dr. Xue wanted to speak but stopped, and finally sighed helplessly.
Taxe Zhao pulled Doctor Xue and said excitedly: "Doctor Xue, is there really no way?"
Dad Xue shook his head: "This is it! Master Zhao, I will go back and look through the previous holy medical book to see if I can find any clues. I prescribed a pair of calming medicine for Master Ling to temporarily stabilize the condition first."
said it! Doctor Xue handed a prescription to Caizhu Zhao, then shook his head and left.
Zhao Caizhu took the prescription and looked disappointed: "It's over... Jing'er is helpless, Doctor Xue has no choice. Is Jing'er still helping me?"
Zhao Jing is Zhao Caizhu's son who just turned one year old and his youngest son. Since Zhao Jing was born, he has been loved by Zhao Caizhu.
"Mother is noble by her son". Although Zhao Jing's mother is not a good wife, she is quite favored and has a certain weight in talking to the Zhao family.
On the day Zhao Jing was one year old, the rich man Zhao also held a banquet to entertain guests from all over the world. For a moment, the Zhao family was also very lively, but no one expected that on this happy day, Zhao Jing, as the protagonist, suddenly turned his eyes and fainted.
At that time, the rich man Zhao was very anxious and hurriedly invited the doctor to take a look. However, after seeing it, several doctors said that they had never seen this disease before, and the banquet ended unhappily.
For several consecutive days, the doctors invited were helpless. Zhao Caizhu even personally invited the famous Divine Doctor Xue inside and outside the city, but the result of Divine Doctor Xue was the same as others. In this way, the hope of Divine Doctor Zhao was cut off.
The house was leaking and it rained all night. Just as the rich man Zhao was worried about Zhao Jing's affairs, the servants at home came to report that a batch of goods transported on the road were robbed by bandits.
This makes Zhao rich man one big. This batch of goods is very important to the Zhao family. He poured a lot of money into it. Once the goods cannot be called out, the loss will be great.
Now that the goods are robbed, the rich man Zhao couldn't think of any good way, so he had to ask someone to find the bandits to see if he could pay a ransom for the goods. I don’t know what it is about
! Since Zhao Jing got sick, the Zhao family seemed to be in trouble and did nothing smoothly. The goods had not yet been settled. In terms of business, they were run over by the Wang family in the city, which directly caused the Zhao family's business to plummet.
cannot deliver the goods on time, which made Zhao Caizhu's customers switch to the Wang family. At home and outside the house, everything made Zhao Caizhu exhausted.
At this moment, a woman dressed in graceful clothes came over and whispered softly: "Master, I think that Dr. Xue was just a famous person that day. Even Jing'er's illness could not be cured. It seems that medical skills are not very good."
The person from Zhao Caizhu is one of the concubines named Pan. In terms of appearance and talent, it is definitely the best choice among Zhao Caizhu's wife and concubines. However, she has been married to Zhao Caizhu's family for two years, but her belly has not moved.
Although he is favored by the rich man Zhao, he is inevitably subject to the cold eyes of others.
Zhao Qianzhu was very annoyed, and when Pan said this, he said impatiently: "What's the use of saying this now?"
Pan was not angry either, and took the hand of the rich man Zhao and said, "Master! I am also careful that the master is so angry! Doctor Xue is useless, but I know that a strange person should be able to treat Jing'er's disease."
"Oh? Who is it?" The rich man Zhao hurriedly grabbed Pan and asked.
"Oh! Master, you have hurt me"?
Pan rubbed his wrist.
Taxer Zhao found that he had lost his composure and hurriedly let go of his hand, and said kindly, "Tell me, who is it?"
Pan knew that it was enough to stop and said, "I passed by Xuanhezhai a few days ago and met a strange person. This old woman could use strange treatment methods. Many people saw it at that time. Now Jing'er's condition is unknown. I think the master can invite this person to come and quietly for Jing'er."
Zhao Qianzhu said anxiously: "Do you know where this strange man lives?"
"I don't know about this. The master asked the housekeeper to inquire. She appeared in Xuanhezhai and should not live very far." Pan said with his head down.
"Okay! I'll make arrangements now."
When Zhao heard this, he hurried to find the butler. Pan raised his head and looked at the direction where the rich man Zhao left. The flattery on his face disappeared and became extremely cold.
Zhao Qianzhu quickly found the butler and asked the butler to go to Xuanhezhai to inquire about an old lady with a strange man.
It’s true that this strange man was really treating people near Xuanhezhai. Not long after the housekeeper went out, he brought back the strange man that Pan said.
The first impression this person gave to Mr. Zhao was that he was sloppy and dirty, his gray hair was covered with oil, and his clothes were torn. The more he was like this, the more he felt that the other party was a paradise and did not dislike him.
instead said: "Old man, I heard that you have a good medical skills. My child has a very strange disease. It is useless to hire many doctors. Please show it to the child. If it can be cured, you can make any request."
The old woman didn't even raise her eyelids and said lightly: "It's just some quack doctors, take her to see it."
The rich man Zhao hurried forward to lead the way and took the old woman to the room where Zhao Jing was.
The old woman stepped forward, looked at Zhao Jing lying on the bed, flipped his eyelids, and took her pulse again.
then waved, "It's irrelevant to leave, the child is sick, he needs to use a unique secret recipe, and outsiders are not allowed to just see it."
When the rich man Zhao heard that his son was cured and the old woman looked confident, he was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly dismissed his wife and the maid who was caring for her.
"Old immortal, I'm really worried if I can stay here."
Zhao Qianzhu really wants to know how his son was treated, and he doesn't want to leave.
The old woman did not reject the proposal of rich man Zhao.
nodded and said, "The next thing I use is my master's original medical technique "Observing Yin Technique". This method can connect yin and yang and observe the evil diseases in the body. You will be outside the screen later, so you should not peek."
When the rich man Zhao heard this, he hurriedly agreed.
The old woman pulled the screen, blocking the view of the rich man Zhao.
Then, the rich man Zhao heard a burst of rapid voices. The old woman said a lot of things he couldn't understand, and jumped around behind the screen.
's behavior made Mr. Zhao start to wonder. No matter how it looks, it doesn't seem like a cure!
After one stick of incense, the old woman shouted loudly: "Ignorance child, don't get out of here quickly."
half a beat! The old woman said to the outside: "Master Zhao, the young master is awake, you can come in."
Zhao Qianzhu hurriedly walked in when he heard this. At this time, he had already discovered that Zhao Jing had actually opened his eyes.
"Jing'er, you finally woke up, you scared your dad to death."
After saying that, the rich man Zhao was about to hug Zhao Jing, but the old woman stopped him: "The young master's illness has not been cured yet. I just barely repelled that thing. Let the child rest first. Don't disturb him at this time to avoid falling souls."
Treasurer Zhao hurriedly asked, "Old immortal, what disease does a child have?"
The old woman shook her head and said, "What makes the young master suffer is not a disease, he is plagued by a little ghost. This boy is too natural and there is a yin energy gathering between his eyebrows but not dispersing. If he is not wrong, did he get sick on the day of his first year of age? That day was when his yin energy was at its peak, causing disaster to your Zhao family."
At this time, the mothers and maids outside gathered here, and when they heard the old woman's words, everyone was stunned.
, especially Pan, immediately added fire and said: "What I said! Since Jing'er got sick, our Zhao family has suffered many disasters, and now it has been run by outsiders. Not only has he lost a lot of money, but he has also lost his credibility. Who dares to do business with our Zhao family in the future?"
Treasurer Zhao hurriedly said, "Old immortal, can there be a way to rescue him?"
The old woman shook her head and said, "If there is, it depends on whether you are willing to give up or not."
"What method"?
Zhao Caizhu asked.
"In fact, the method is very simple. Judging from the old man's Yin-Direction technique, this Zi's Yin Qi is born. Even if the evil spirits are dispelled just now, he will provoke evil spirits after a while. This is not a lasting method. The only operation is to let the young master leave the Zhao Mansion and find a new residence, so that he can naturally protect the Zhao Mansion."
"If not! If evil spirits come back, the Zhao family will be uneasy."
When the rich man Zhao heard this, his face changed and he hurriedly said, "What if the old god, you have been living in the mansion? Isn't this how you can dispel evil spirits at any time?"
The old woman smiled coldly: "Do you think the old man's Yin-Contemplation technique is used casually? With the old man's skills, it only takes twice a year. It has been wasted once just now, and this is not a long-term solution."
Zhao Qianzhu was confused for a moment and said, "I'm still worried that the old god will stay here. I'll buy it next time you take action. Let me think about it for a while."
The old woman said, "It doesn't matter. This is your Zhao family's business. You just need to hand over the money. According to my promise to your housekeeper before, I will charge 500 taels of silver this time."
Zhao Caizhu was anxious before and did not ask about the price. At this time, he could only pinch his nose and admit it.
At this moment, a servant hurriedly ran into the room.
"Master! Manager Wu was detained by a bandit. I asked Master, you should take 10,000 taels of silver to redeem people, otherwise they will destroy the people and the goods."
Zhao Qianzhu's face changed and he hurriedly asked the housekeeper to entertain the old woman, but he hurried out.
took a ten thousand taels of silver notes from the account and hurriedly left with several servants.
Manager Wu has followed him since he was a child and is his most confidant. Most of the property in his family is supported by Manager Wu. He must not have anything to do. This time, even if he doesn’t have ten thousand taels, he will have to redeem the person.
Zhao Qianzhu drove the carriage and rushed to the place given by the bandits.
When we were halfway, the carriage suddenly stopped. Qianzhu Zhao asked impatiently: "So what's wrong?"
The man said, "Master, there is a stinking Taoist priest who blocked the way, saying that we will suffer a bloody disaster and the carriage will have black gas."
Treasurer Zhao was shocked. What happened in succession these days was so strange. He hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw an old Taoist looking at him with a look of surprise.
"Strange! Strange! How could there be such a strong Yin energy"?
When Zhao heard the old Taoist say this, he combined with what the old woman said before, hurriedly got out of the car and said, "The Taoist Master is polite, I don't know what Chang said just now means?"
The old Taoist looked for a moment and said, "Your body smells very strong, the seal hall is black, and there is a big disaster. It is better not to go out."
Zhao Qianzhu said anxiously: "The Taoist priest is as sharp as a torch, I am going to go to the bandits' nest."
Zhao Caizhu told the story.
The old Taoist looked surprised: "You are kind to others and do not hesitate to take risks with your own life. Well! The old Taoist will follow you."
Accompanied by the old Taoist, the rich man Zhao quickly arrived at the designated location of the bandits, and a group of bandits saw the rich man Zhao coming.
A bald man walked out and said, "It is said that rich man Zhao is trustworthy and is very good to his subordinates. It seems that what he said is true. What we want is 10,000 taels of silver? Did you bring it?"
rich man Zhao was about to give money, but the old Taoist stopped him.
walked forward and said, "You are not afraid of lightning strikes when you act like this?"
The bald man said angrily: "Where is the old man from the bull's nose? Get out of the way for the uncle, otherwise you will not be able to survive."
The old Taoist shook his head: "It's stubborn and unscrupulous."
I saw a branch in the old Taoist hand and pointed at the bald man's eyes immediately blurred. The knife in his hand slowly lifted up and put it towards his neck. The bandits behind
were frightened. At this moment, the bald man woke up instantly and looked at his behavior and broke out in a cold sweat.
was so scared that he threw the knife, knelt on the ground and shouted, "Old immortal, please spare me! Old immortal, please spare me! We can't help ourselves!"
The old Taoist frowned: "Catch the truth quickly."
The bald man did not dare to neglect and hurriedly told the whole story.
After hearing this, Zhao Qianzhu was stunned and said angrily: "This bitch, I will definitely send her to the yamen when I go back."
It turns out that all this was done by the rich man Zhao, Pan. Because she could not give birth to a child, the resentment in her heart gradually deepened, and this resentment reached its peak after Zhao Jing was born.
Half a month ago, Pan accidentally met an old woman who could use magic tricks. After seeing the old woman's methods, he promised a high amount of wealth. As long as the old woman helped her destroy the Zhao family, she would give her half of the Zhao family's wealth.
The old woman thought about it and agreed. Under Pan's secret operation, she gave Zhao Jing a meatball with insect eggs. She was poisonous on the day Zhao Jing was a year old, but she would not die soon.
Then Pan took the old woman to find the bald man and promised to plunder Zhao's goods for one thousand taels of silver. On this line, Zhao's wealthy man often handled some things, and Zhao's wealthy man had a good reputation, and the bandits had no intention of plundering.
Who knew that the old woman actually gave them poison pills in the wine. If she didn't listen to them, she would not give them antidote. The bald man had no choice but to act obediently.
When Zhao heard this, the rich man Zhao was so angry that his teeth were itchy. The bald man immediately said that he would return the goods, and the shopkeeper Wu and the others did not move a hair, and they were still in good food and drink!
After thinking about it carefully, the old Taoist immediately came to his mind.
turned around and said, "Treasurer Zhao, this demon man must be taken away, so you can do this..."
As he said, the old Taoist said a few words in the ear of the rich man Zhao. When the rich man Zhao heard this, his eyes lit up and he nodded immediately.
Afterwards, the bald man asked someone to bring Manager Wu out, while Master Zhao took Manager Wu home first.
As soon as he got home, Pan hurried over and asked, "Master, is there anything wrong? Is Manager Wu back?"
Zhao Qianzhu said, "I'm back. This time I'm really hurt. I have to let the old god stay for a few more days. This evil spirit is so amazing."
Pan's face looked dark and happy. After the rich man Zhao left, she quietly came to the old woman's residence: "Master! Those guys have succeeded, should we go there?"
The old woman was also full of excitement and nodded and said, "Let's go there first."
The two left Zhao's mansion quietly under the intention of the rich man Zhao.
Although Zhao Qianzhu was so angry, he still sent everyone to follow him.
At this moment, the old Taoist suddenly appeared from a wall and turned his head to the rich man Zhao and said, "I have already seen Mr. Ling's illness. This old witch is simply a liar."
"She used a strange Miaojiang witch technique. She put insect eggs in Ling Gongzi's belly. I have handed the prescription to my wife, and then took it regularly. It will be eliminated in about a month."
The rich man Zhao was overjoyed: "Thank you for your help, Master."
Taoist priest waved his hand and said, "This is what you deserve. Only by not forgetting your original intention can you achieve the end. You also hope that you will do more good deeds in the future and bring real good things to poor families."
The old Taoist finished speaking! He turned around and left, and did not accept a penny from the rich man Zhao.
One hour later, the servant sent by the rich man Zhao ran back.
"Master! Mrs. Pan and the old woman were both poisoned by bandits, and these bandits also brought our goods back."
Zhao Qianzhu sighed: "The evil ones will be punished by the evil ones."
It turns out that this is a trap given by the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest detoxified the bandits and attracted the Pan family and the old woman. The bandits were angry and embarrassed. Without the poison, the Pan family naturally had no good results.
After killing the old woman, the bandit voluntarily surrendered. What surprised the bandit was that the old woman was actually a wanted criminal who had been fleeing in recent years. She used " Guworm " to harm many people. The bandit's move was also considered to eliminate the harm for the people.
With the strong support of Zhao Caizhu, Pan harmed the Zhao family and caused huge losses. The bald man was not sentenced to death. After two years of detention, the bald man was released.
Thanks to the rich man Zhao for his kindness. The bald man voluntarily became a guest of the Zhao family. He handled the goods transported by the Zhao family.
After a few years, the Zhao family's business became better and better, and Zhao Jing completely recovered. The rich man Zhao was grateful to Taoist Master for saving his life, and accumulated virtue and did good deeds throughout his life, which greatly helped the poor local people.
Before Zhao's death, rich man Zhao handed over the Zhao family's business to Zhao Jing. Zhao Jing also replaced his father and continued to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, build bridges and roads, and while expanding business, he also passed on his kindness.
has made considerable contributions to the local people.
