"Master, why did Master Liu tell you to come to Luoxiang Mansion? This Luoxiang Mansion is located in the northwest and is far from the capital. In this winter, I just want you to come here for the so-called "magic medicine". Isn't this trouble for us!" Wang Yi complained while tidying up his luggage.

In Luoxiang Mansion, I heard that the people are fierce and bandits are rampant. A few months ago, I heard that a landlord's family was looted by bandits and the whole family was killed!

Thinking of this, he shivered and looked even more sad. I don’t know how he, the dull master, offended Master Liu and was tortured like this.

The imperial physician He Zhongkai sat upright at the table, holding a cup of water. He was from the south and felt very cold when he arrived in the northwest for the first time. Fortunately, he, a chattering apprentice, was well prepared and did not suffer much along the way.

Hearing his apprentice’s complaint, he said lightly: “Wang Yi, don’t say much. Master Liu is very powerful and resourceful. He asked me to do it, so he must have his intention. Besides, I also want to see what kind of medicine it has.”

Wang Yi curled his lips. If it was really a magical medicine, it would definitely be spread to the capital in the future. Why should I come here in person? See the faces of other people in the Imperial Hospital when they were sent to them? Who is stupid enough to come here specifically?

But thinking about it again, the master was also assigned to him and could not refuse. He hummed again, prepared the clothes he would wear tomorrow, closed the box, and angrily asked someone to prepare the meal.

After dawn, the master and the disciple continued to set off, but before they could leave the town, they heard a rhythmic sound of gongs and drums. Then many people rushed out of each household, with the old and the young, blocked the street tightly, and then quickly evacuated outside. They were very orderly and soon left the street, leaving only a few people, all of whom looked like outsiders, looking confused.

He Zhongkai looked at all this in a daze. What happened?

Wang Yi sat on the shaft of the car, suddenly turned around and hugged He Zhongkai's arm, and said in a panic: "Master, are you a bandit here? Let's go quickly, follow them!"

The guards guarding around the carriage had drawn out their long swords and were ready to go, and the horse's reins were tightly held in their hands.

He Zhongkai shook his head, unlike someone who was attacking. These people evacuated in an orderly manner, quickly and without panic, and were obviously trained.

"Follow up and take a look!" He pulled Wang Yi away the hand that hugged his arm, jumped out of the carriage, and walked in front.

The master left in front, and the guards naturally followed with their swords, but did not dismount.

Wang Yi lost He Zhongkai's arm and felt panicked. He turned around to go to the coachman's arm. But when he saw his old face full of pleated ones, he withdrew his hand, jumped out of the car, and chased He Zhongkai, "Master, wait for me!"

The town is called Huaishu Town. There is a square in the middle of the town. In the center of the square is a big locust tree with lush branches and leaves, and is a hundred years old. Next to it is a small temple called Huaishing Temple.

It is said that this big locust tree has spirit. Its branches and leaves are lush, but it cannot be climbed and broken. According to legend, some people once wanted to cut the old locust tree as a bed board, but the axe raised did not cut the tree body. Instead, he cut his own leg with an axe. Fortunately, he closed his strength in time and did not break his legs. Some people climbed the locust tree to feed the sheep. As a result, not long after, his arm had a big sore and was very painful. Finally, with someone's guidance, he went to the locust tree to repent, and his arm was healed the next day.

From then on, the saying that locust trees have spirits has been circulated. The town was also renamed Huaishu Town. The residents of the town also built this small temple together to worship the spirit of locust trees and built a square around it.

This matter has become a legend in this town, but if outsiders come, the waiter in the inn will promote it and attract tourists from coming to burn incense. So He Zhongkai and others heard this legend last night.

Now seeing the square, people were crowded and I knew it wasn't the bandits coming. He Zhongkai and others were relaxed a little, but they were still confused.

Did they catch up with the temple fair in this town? Or some sacrificial activities?

He Zhongkai grabbed a young man around the square and inquired for a while before he realized what kind of "exercise" was being conducted.

"Master, what kind of exercise is this? I think it's just fun. The prefect of Luoxiang Prefecture is also bold. He is playing with these people all day long. Look at these people, maybe they are still in the quilt and they are pulled out. How can it be if they are caught in the cold?" As he said that, he had a light of inspiration and realized that he understood the key points. He clapped his hands and shouted: "I know Master!"

He Zhongkai turned his head to look at him, frowned, and did not speak.

However, Wang Yi thought about it the more he felt that the truth of the matter was what he thought. He even nodded and then said: "Master, the prefect Liang of Luoxiang Prefecture wrote a memorial to say that there was a doctor named Wei Zhao who developed a magical medicine, right?"

He Zhongkai nodded, his eyebrows still remained unrestrained. Didn’t they come for this? What does this mean?

"In my opinion, this prefect Liang and Doctor Wei must know each other, and their relationship is very different. Now Doctor Wei has developed a medicine, which has very good effect. So Priest Liang will conduct such an exercise with him, in name, for the good of the people, but in fact, it is to make the people sick. Otherwise, when will this exercise not work? I have to suddenly come out for the exercise in the early morning and at the coldest time. When the people get sick, it is when Doctor Wei shows his magical powers. At that time, the money for selling medicine will be poured into their pockets?"

He did not doubt the existence of the "magic medicine". After all, since the prefect Liang dared to report to the court, it must have been groundless, otherwise it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

But he was very suspicious of the purpose of this exercise. The people were stupid and could not see through it. Wang Yi was not that easy to fool!

He Zhongkai originally thought he had made some major discoveries, but it turned out that he was talking nonsense again. He shook his mind and sighed in his heart that this apprentice has good qualifications, but unfortunately his character is not good and he is not calm enough. I am afraid he will suffer losses in the future!

He waved his hand and saw that there were several yamen runners in the field. He knew that this matter must have been organized by the government. If he wanted to know the whole story, he would know when he arrived at the palace city. He had no need to guess and be a villain!

"Wang Yi, don't say anything wrong. Our trip is to check the 'magic medicine'. Just go to the capital city to do this, and don't make any troubles."

As a master, he should still give a few words. As for whether Wang Yi can listen, it depends on his understanding.
