Chapter 212: Putting on a Show
At this moment, Yu Feipeng and Yin Min certainly could not stop Zhu Gaoxu from going to treat Bai Xinghuo again.
And with Zhu Gaoxu's status placed here, the divine physician he spoke of must surely be an Imperial Physician from the palace.
They were a hundred times better than the local doctors in this small county town.
If Zhu Gaoxu really managed to cure Bai Xinghuo, then the matter of him plotting against Zhu Gaoxu would likely be exposed.
It was a pity that even though Yu Feipeng understood everything, he could do nothing at this moment.
Looking at the crowd kneeling, Zhu Gaoxu chuckled and raised his hand to signal for them to rise.
Life loves to play jokes.
The person who was pointing at your nose and cursing you just a moment ago might be kneeling before you the next second.
Zhu Gaoxu's gaze swept repeatedly over Yu Feipeng and Yin Min.
The sight made the two of them feel increasingly panicked.
With the pressure in his heart growing, Yin Min wiped the sweat from his forehead and, having just stood up, knelt back down again.
"This commoner has offended Your Highness just now; please, Your Highness, forgive me."
Even the incredibly overbearing Yin Min had no choice but to concede in front of Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Yin Min kneeling before him without speaking, instead looking at Yu Feipeng and asking: "Vice Hall Master Yu, can this Prince now find someone to treat the old Hall Master?"
At this time, Yu Feipeng also realized that Zhu Gaoxu must have had this planned long ago.
Zhu Gaoxu had requested to treat Bai Xinghuo time and again; he must have had a scheme for a long time.
Having reached this point, even if Yu Feipeng were any more foolish, he could see that Zhu Gaoxu wanting to treat Bai Xinghuo was not for the sake of repaying any favor at all.
He had foolishly thought he was playing everyone in the palm of his hand.
He never expected that Zhu Gaoxu had already seen through this point.
Thinking this, Yu Feipeng could not help but let out a sigh.
He nodded without speaking.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu finally stood up; his time was tight, and although his current strength already completely crushed the Red Rainbow Hall, this play had to be finished.
Everything one does requires a legitimate excuse.
Zhu Gaoxu intervening in this matter with his imperial court status was already considered a taboo.
If the Red Rainbow Hall was to have any development in the future, it had to be given a reputation.
The old Hall Master of the Red Rainbow Hall was placed under house arrest by his two disciples and was severely injured.
As a result, Zhu Gaoxu reached out to help and rescued the old Hall Master.
The old Hall Master was filled with gratitude.
In the future, the Red Rainbow Hall would help Zhu Gaoxu in the pugilistic world under this pretext.
Nodding with satisfaction, Zhu Gaoxu ignored Yin Min, who was kneeling on the ground.
Passing by Yin Min, Zhu Gaoxu walked straight toward the inner courtyard.
The crowd followed silently behind Zhu Gaoxu, leaving only Yin Min kneeling on the spot, not daring to move.
Arriving at the backyard, Zhu Gaoxu walked to the old Hall Master's bedroom with practiced ease.
Seeing this scene, Yu Feipeng was completely convinced in his heart that Zhu Gaoxu indeed had a scheme long ago.
But with Zhu Gaoxu's status as a Prince, what did he lack?
Why would he scheme against his small Red Rainbow Hall?
His Red Rainbow Hall was merely a small pugilistic sect in Huangshan Town; what was there worth Zhu Gaoxu scheming for?
Suddenly, Yu Feipeng, standing in the back, thought of something, and his expression went blank.
Afterward, he immediately shook his head, wanting to cast this crazy speculation out of his mind.
But this thought seemed to have taken root, growing wildly in Yu Feipeng's mind uncontrollably.
In the end, Yu Feipeng's mind was filled with nothing but his own speculation.
Unless... Zhu Gaoxu wanted to use the Red Rainbow Hall to lay out a strategy for the entire pugilistic world in Shandong and even the North!
If that were truly the case, Yu Feipeng dared not think of his own end; this game of chess was too big, and it was already not something a small fry like him could control.
He might not even count as a single chess piece in it.
At the same time, Yu Feipeng was also somewhat dejected; he had been the first to come into contact with Zhu Gaoxu.
It could have been him following Zhu Gaoxu, reaching a height he previously dared not even imagine.
But now, it was clear that Zhu Gaoxu had chosen the old Hall Master.
As for the reason, it was actually very simple: Zhu Gaoxu had already known about his schemes.
And at this moment, Zhu Gaoxu had already stepped onto the stairs and was walking inside.
The guards standing at the door did not dare to block him at all.
Didn't they see that even the county magistrate, who usually couldn't afford to offend even the Hall Master, was following behind this young man eagerly?
Opening the door, Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand, stopping the others from following him in.
He gave Ada a look, and Ada nodded, then randomly pointed at a Brocade Guard, telling him to follow Zhu Gaoxu inside.
To outsiders, this was the divine physician Zhu Gaoxu had spoken of.
It seemed Zhu Gaoxu had been prepared long ago.
But in reality, Zhu Gaoxu had prepared nothing at all.
The old Hall Master was not sick at all; why go through the trouble of finding a doctor?
It was nothing more than putting on a show.
Half a day later, Zhu Gaoxu came out with the Brocade Guard who had followed him inside, supporting the old Hall Master Bai.
Everyone was astonished to see this.
He secretly thought to himself that the Imperial Physician in the Imperial Palace was truly worthy of the name.
They had invited every single doctor in the entire Huangshan Town, and none of them could tell what kind of symptoms Hall Master Bai was suffering from.
The Imperial Physician who came from the palace had actually managed to get Hall Master Bai on his feet in just half a day.
The gap between them was truly too vast.
And as Bai Xinghuo walked out with the support of the two men, he spoke words that shocked everyone present.
