Chapter 241 Robbery
"Old Doctor Zeng, can my father and fourth brother be cured?" This is what Li Sanye is most concerned about.
Old doctor Zeng sighed: "I can only do my best."
Mr. Li is young and is paralyzed by a stroke at this time. It stands to reason that as long as he takes careful care, he still has a chance to speak. But the bad thing is that Mr. Li escaped all the way and his body looks good, but he is actually very weak. Now we can only do our best to treat him and live one day at a time.
But Fourth Master Li had a high fever that burned out his brain. From ancient times to the present, no one whose brain has been burned can be cured.
When Li Sanye heard this, he smiled in his heart, but his face was filled with unbearable grief. He grabbed Old Doctor Zeng's hand and begged with choked sobs: "Old Doctor Zeng, you are the best doctor in the city. Think about it. We must cure my father and fourth brother. My fourth brother is still young and he doesn’t even have a wife yet, so he can’t be so stupid.”
Seeing how sad he was, old doctor Zeng almost knelt down and said, "I will definitely find a way, I will find a way, don't worry. It's just that Mr. Li and Mr. Li's illness is not urgent, so they have to take medicine all year round. This medicine The money is still not cheap, Mr. Li San must be aware of it."
After hearing this, Master Li San paused and secretly calculated how much money he had spent on the doctor for the old man and the fourth child in the past few days... a total of one hundred and eighty taels. It has only been three days, so much money has been spent, and it will continue to be spent for many years to come. How can the Li family have enough money to go through such trouble?
Li Sanye instantly didn’t want to treat them anymore.
Mr. Qi looked at Mr. Li San and remembered what the girl from the Gu family said to him that day, "She wants the Li family to never turn around again." Before she said this, she asked Mr. Li if he had the ability. ?
Now it seems that Mr. Qi finally understands that the Gu family girl wants him to suppress Mr. Li and prevent him from getting ahead.
"Doctor Zeng can prescribe medicine, no matter how much it costs, as long as it can cure Mr. Li and Mr. Li." Mr. Qi said.
Mr. Li Sanye was still settling accounts. When he heard this, he was shocked: "Cousin..."
Mr. Qi looked at Mr. Li San and asked, "Huh? What does Jun Ming have to say?"
Li Sanye choked: "No, it's nothing. Jun Ming was just worried about his father and fourth brother, and was a little dazed for a moment."
Mr. Qi said: "You are tired, go and have a rest first. My cousin will help you with the things here."
Mr. Li San was flattered and thought Mr. Qi was going to help him, so he said: "Then Jun Ming will go and take a nap for a while, and my cousin will help me see off Dr. Zeng."
If you help deliver the goods, you will definitely help pay for the medical treatment and medicine.
Li Sanye thought he had made a profit, so he went back to his yard to rest.
After Mr. Li San left, Mr. Qi asked Dr. Zeng to prescribe medicine based on the most expensive medicinal materials. Both of them were seriously ill, and the best medicine was prescribed. Only five days of medicine cost three hundred taels of silver. However, Mr. Qi did not advance the diagnosis fee and medicine money. Instead, he said: "Let's keep the account first. When I get the medicine for the first time, the Li family will give it to me."
Li Sanye was also a shrewd person and knew that Dr. Zeng’s consultation fee was expensive. After finishing the medicine, he did not go to see Dr. Zeng again. Instead, he went to another medical clinic and hired a doctor with average medical skills to give Mr. Li and Mr. Li Fourth Master prescribed some medicine and just dealt with it.
But the medical clinic where Dr. Zeng worked sent someone to ask for money. When Li Sanye learned that the five days of medicine cost three hundred taels of silver, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood!
But he had no choice but to give it, so he could only scold Mr. Qi in his mind, take out three banknotes to give to the boy, and send him away.
This wave has not subsided, but another wave has arisen.
The Li family's guards escorted the Li family all the way to escape the famine. In order to protect the Li family on the way, the guards' hands were all covered in blood. They were no longer the honest servants they used to be, but were comparable to bandits. Seeing that the Li family was in chaos, several nursing homes joined forces and sneaked into Mr. Li's house in the middle of the night and stole most of the Li family's banknotes and the servant's deed of sale.
When Mr. Li San found out, all the deeds of sale of the servants in the family were gone. The nearly 10,000 taels of silver notes were also gone, leaving only 3,000 taels of silver notes, as well as some jewelry and broken pieces. silver.
Mr. Li San was so angry that he fainted.
Mrs. Qu cried and screamed, and among the people who hurriedly strangled Mr. Li, she finally managed to wake him up: "Third Master, let's report it to the official immediately. We can't let those rip-offs steal our family property." gone."
"Yes, to report to the official, we must capture Lu Wang and the others!" Mr. Li dragged his tired body to Qi's house to find Mr. Qi, and together they went to Fucheng Yamen to report to the official.
But Lu Wang and the others had already left the city, and there were still some victims who had not been resettled in Fucheng Yamen, so they couldn't spare any manpower to find people for the Li family.
Mr. Li Sanye came out of the Fucheng Yamen trembling all over.
As soon as he left the Fucheng Yamen, Mr. Li couldn't help but cry: "Cousin, what can we do with my family? Those unscrupulous bastards took away most of my Li family's property and my servant's contract of sale in one fell swoop. I took it away too, my father and fourth brother are still sick and need to take medicine every day from now on, how can we live like this?!"
Mr. Qi did not expect that the Li family's nursing home would be stolen from the master's head: "Don't get angry first, and take good care of your father and fourth brother. Lu Wang and the Qi family will help you find them, but they can be found The chances are slim.”
Zhongzhou is still in chaos now. If Lu Wang and the others escape to Zhongzhou, mix among the victims, and take on new identities, it will be difficult to find them even if the Qi family takes action.
"Go home first, and you can live more frugally in the future."
Although most of the silver notes were stolen from the Li family, they still have three thousand taels of silver notes, nearly one thousand taels of cash, several boxes of jewelry, and the Sanjin mansion on Jiqing Street. Compared with the victims who fled the famine these days, I don’t know how much better it is.
When Li Sanye heard this, his blood surged and he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Does Li Junming want to live a frugal life? What he wants to live is a good life of eating well, drinking hot food, and calling slaves and maids.
Now that the money was gone, the servant's bond of sale was gone, and he had to spend additional money to replace the bond. Otherwise, if the servant ran away, he would have no reason to pursue them.
The Li family was completely defeated after this incident, and Mr. Qi also wrote a letter to tell the Gu family about the Li family so that the Gu family could rest assured.
…
Gu Jinli and the others took a carriage and drove for a day, finally returning to Tianfu County.
Jiang Jiao personally took Gu Daya's family to the county government office to apply for new household registration for them.
When Mr. Qi came to Jiangzhai to give them their household registration, he also gave them a letter. It was a letter stamped with the official seal of the Fucheng Yamen. As long as the Gu Daya family took this letter to the county Yamen, they could transfer their household registration to them. Go to Dafeng Village.
Gu Jinli and Gu Dashan also followed. They planned to buy the remaining old houses at the end of the village.
They had bought a yard before when they came to the county government to apply for the property deed. However, there are still a few old mud house courtyards at the end of the village that have mostly collapsed and are uninhabitable.
Although they can't live in, their workshops will be expanded in the future, so they might as well take advantage of this time to pass by the county and buy the remaining old houses. When they have money, they can rebuild houses on those old houses.
In the county official's room, after the clerk read the household registration of Gu Daya's family and Mr. Qi's letter, he was not embarrassed and quickly changed their household registration for them.
The last sentence is: "Those who have newly changed their household registration cannot change again within three years, and remember this."
