Chapter 765: Heavy Reward Offered

other in the world!Of course, action speaks louder than words. It's never too late to start anything!As everyone was chatting idly, Jia Yin grunted and dragged a small box from the foot of the kang.Be..."I'm from the Relief Office, this task was assigned to me by our master."

The niece of a certain master's family has been ill, and she hasn't gotten better after being treated for a long time. Her family is very anxious and has put up notices to find a good doctor to diagnose her illness.

Relief Agency

Granduncle's niece

"Oh!" The idler's mind whirred, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't that County Princess Kang Le She's ill"

The half-grown boy was about to leave when he was suddenly pulled by a vagrant, and impatiently replied: "Yes, it's Princess Kangle who is sick!"

"It is said that he was frightened a few days ago and has been getting weaker ever since, but the doctors can't find out the reason."

The idle man's eyes lit up at the words, and he was even more reluctant to let go. He urged, "Impossible! Everyone says County Master Kangle is blessed with great fortune, how could she possibly be so ill"

"How would I know!" the boy retorted, pulling back. "Everyone eats grains and vegetables, who can guarantee they won't get sick Not even Heaven's Emperor!"

Their loud clamor naturally attracted more people.

So, after the young boy left, everyone's attention turned to the vagrant who had been arguing with him earlier. They all started making noise, trying to talk to him.

This man was a lazy bum, usually looked down upon. Suddenly, he was treated like a star, and he got all puffed up right away.

Rumors spread that Princess Kangle was gravely ill and nearing death. Her family had tried everything but couldn't cure her, so they posted a notice seeking a physician.

Everyone was surprised and curious, clamoring for him to read the announcement aloud.

The Simpleton was in a difficult position, because he couldn't read.

Finally, people from the teahouse next door found a storyteller and had him read the notice aloud, explaining everything clearly.

Princess Kangle had been ill for several days. Even the renowned doctors on Suijin Beach were unable to cure her. Her family was frantic and willing to pay one thousand taels of silver to find a skilled physician to treat her.

One thousand two!

Everyone gasped in astonishment.

To support a family of five, twenty taels of silver a year would be enough to live a comfortable life without worry about food and clothing.

One thousand taels, it would be enough to live a lifetime! The Li family readily took out the money, showing their considerable wealth.

Of course, the Li family placed great importance on this granddaughter, the county princess, and was truly worried.

Could it be that the county princess is truly very ill!

Within a short morning, notices were plastered all over the streets and alleys of Xindu. Everyone in Xindu knew about Princess Kangle's serious illness.

As the saying goes, the best way to heal a broken heart is to immediately start a new relationship.

It goes without saying that the same principle applies to dealing with rumors.

Now who cares if the Princess of Kangle has good fortune or not, everyone is focused on which doctor from which pharmacy in Xindu will win this thousand taels reward.

It's a fact that whenever someone mentions Princess Kang Le's good fortune, they are immediately criticized.

When people are about to die, how could there possibly be any great fortune

It's truly fortunate to be healthy and not fall ill.

Soon, the first to act was Huichun Hall, the top pharmacy in Xin Du.

The oldest physician in the pharmacy, Chang, took a carriage to Suijin Beach.

The horses' hooves pounded on the scorching ground, forcing them to quicken their pace. The carriage bounced along rather unevenly.

Chang, the physician with three white hairs left on his head, didn't complain a single word. His mind was entirely occupied with how he would ridicule the county lord Kang Le after curing her illness.

As for the target of the satire, it is naturally Zhang Shenyi from Suijin Beach.

Last year, the son's wife of the Guogong Mansion couldn't bear children, so she found him for treatment.

He struggled for three months, taking medicine and medicated baths, but there was little effect.

Just as he was about to change his prescription, the Countess discovered that someone had lobbied on her behalf and managed to get her an appointment with Zhang Shini, a renowned physician from Suijin Tan.

As a result, the illness was cured after a month, and now the National Duke's Mansion has an additional grandson!

Although no one said harsh words to him, he felt inferior to that Zhang from Suijin Beach ever since then.

Now, the opportunity to "avenge himself" has finally come!

He was going to use his decades of skill to give that Zhang fellow a good "slap" and make him submit!

Soon, the carriage arrived at Li's house.

Mrs. Li personally greeted Dr. Chang at the door and led him to the back yard, where Old Madam Li personally entertained Dr. Chang with tea.

Perhaps worried for her granddaughter, Old Mrs. Li had dark circles under her eyes and a slightly yellowish complexion, looking quite haggard.

Doctor Chang then comforted, “Madam, please don’t worry. Since I dare to come here, I must have confidence and will do my best to ensure the young mistress recovers soon.”

"Alright, alright, then thank you, Doctor Chang. If the Lady recovers, our family will definitely show our gratitude!" Li Laotai pulled out her handkerchief and pretended to wipe away tears.

She couldn't help but sneak a peek at Dr. Chang's silvery white beard, feeling a pang of guilt in her heart.

This old doctor, who's been practicing for so many years, if he can't figure out the ailment, wouldn't he get flustered…

But soon, she wasn't worried anymore.

Because the doctor was arrogant and put forward a demanding request.

"Madam, I heard that there's a divine doctor in Suijin Beach. Surely your family has consulted him"

He must be at his wit's end, resorting to posting notices and going door to door searching for someone.

"If this old man can diagnose the illness today and cure it, then please tell Madam Zhang that physician to stop calling himself a 'divine doctor,' wouldn't you agree

"After all, the title is undeserved and could easily lead patients to seek medical attention prematurely. If this delays their treatment and tarnishes our reputation as physicians, it would be detrimental!"

Li Laotai and Tao Hongying looked at each other, both with immense relief.

I'm glad Zhang Shenyi isn't here.

Otherwise, this old geezer might just end up lying flat and never see the sun again!

Tao Hongying let out two coughs and said, "Dr. Chang, come with me to check the pulse of the County Princess."

"You physicians, treat illnesses and save lives, everything comes down to your skills, right"

Dr. Chang raised an eyebrow, knowing the Li family was unhappy with him provoking Zhang, the divine physician.

But he didn't mind, because he was too confident in his abilities.

Unfortunately, when it comes to being slapped in the face, there's no such thing as "fast enough." There's only faster!

However, after just a few cups of tea, the arrogant Chang doctor, who was boasting like a rooster earlier, had turned into a wilted eggplant!

"This... what's going on!" Doctor Chang exclaimed, his eyes wide with shock, pulling out a clump of his beard.

"In my years of practice, I've never encountered such a strange pulse. One moment it’s like a summer downpour, the next it’s faint and unreadable, and sometimes it slides past like beads on a string…"

"Doctor Chang, please be careful with your words!" Tao Hongying immediately interrupted him, reminding, "My young mistress is only ten years old. It's impossible for her pulse to be as smooth as pearls rolling!"

"Ahem, yes, yes! It's all this old man's fault!" Doctor Chang immediately bowed his head and apologized.

A pulse that is smooth like beads rolling is a happy pulse. The county princess is still a half-grown child, it's impossible for her to be pregnant.

But the pulse is too strange!

He couldn't help but peek again at the county lord's face, which was pale with a faint blue tinge, and her lips were even turning purple.

This is like a sign of poisoning, but the pulse doesn't show any signs of it...

Chang, the doctor, vigorously rubbed his beard, wincing as his face twitched in pain.

Old Mrs. Li saw that her granddaughter's mouth was twitching slightly, afraid she couldn't hold it in any longer. She quickly led Dr. Chang out of the inner room.

She then asked, "Master Chang, what illness does the county princess have Have you been able to diagnose it"
