Chapter 1506

Three Families Village is an ordinary little village on the outskirts of the capital, living off the mountains.

Early in the morning, the villagers who go to the fields go to the fields, those who go to the mountains go to the mountains; no one is idle. The idlers who used to squat at the village entrance have all disappeared.

No matter how lazy, they have to get moving at this time; it concerns the year's food and drink.

The Wang family person is a grandmother, yet she still has to go to the fields to work.

Pure Yang Zhenren, relying on his immortal-like appearance, ordered the village children to help call the Wang family person home.

The reward was a handful of hard candy.

The children got the candy and were crazy with joy, running in a swarm toward the direction of the Liu family fields.

"Grandma Wang, Grandma Wang... someone is looking for you at home! They told you to go back quickly!"

The Wang family person's husband heard this and thought they were looking for him, so he prepared to wash his hands and feet and go home.

The children didn't understand the nuances, only firmly conveying the Daoist's words, "Looking for Grandma Wang, not looking for Third Grandpa. Grandma Wang, hurry back, they are all waiting at home."

"Don't talk nonsense, children. Why look for your Grandma Wang? Someone has found their way home, I must go back quickly." The Wang family person's husband scolded the children.

The children giggled, sticking out their tongues and making faces, not afraid at all, "They said it, only looking for Grandma Wang, not looking for irrelevant people."

"You little brat..."

The Wang family person's husband was broken.

The Wang family person silently washed her hands and feet and said to her husband, "Since they named me, I will go back and see first. If you need to show your face, I will let them come and call you."

"You really won't let me go back with you?"

"No need!"

The Wang family person's tone was cold, her expression indifferent, not even willing to give her husband an extra expression.

She walked home barefoot.

The Wang family person's husband silently spat, feeling very unhappy in his heart. Turning back to see his sons and daughters-in-law all slacking off, he was immediately furious, "Get to work, what are you all standing there for."

"Dad..."

"I am not your dad!"

The eldest son silently closed his mouth.

The Wang family person pondered and guessed all the way; when she saw the three people guarding her door, her expression was clearly stunned for a moment.

Then she laughed, "So it is the Daoist and Prison Warden Chen. This one is..."

"He is Physician Mu!" Chen Guanlou introduced him proactively.

The Wang family person said "Oh," opened the courtyard gate directly, and invited the three of them inside.

She moved a table into the courtyard and brought over four stools.

"I thought everything was over. I didn't expect to see you all again."

The Wang family person said casually while boiling water and making tea.

The three of them exchanged a look; Chen Guanlou decided to get straight to the point.

"We are visiting uninvited today because there is something we would like to ask for your help with. Do you want to hear it?"

The Wang family person poured tea and water, sat down, and drank tea, "Let's hear it."

"There is a key prisoner who has contracted soul-loss syndrome, the most troublesome kind. We have tried all sorts of methods but haven't been able to wake him. It is said that your sect has some unique secret recipes that might have miraculous effects. So we would like to invite you to make a trip to the capital. Rest assured, the reward is generous."

Having said this, Chen Guanlou took out several silver notes and placed them on the table.

The Wang family person scanned the silver notes calmly, then looked toward Pure Yang Zhenren, "The Daoist has no way either?"

Pure Yang Zhenren shook his head and said, "I specialize in alchemy; ordinary soul-loss syndrome is fine. This prisoner contracted soul-loss syndrome due to extreme terror; I tried, but I am powerless."

Medical Official Mu also added, "I specialize in treating soul-loss syndrome caused by drugs; I have never handled soul-loss syndrome caused by extreme terror."

After listening, the Wang family person lowered her head and smiled, "How are you all so sure I can help? Aren't you afraid of throwing your money away?"

"We have to try. Money is not the problem; the key is to wake the person up. Old Lady, do you have a way?" Chen Guanlou asked.

"Old Lady?" The Wang family person smiled enigmatically.

Chen Guanlou hurriedly explained, "I see your grandson is quite big, so... if you mind..."

"No, I don't mind. It's the first time someone has called me Old Lady; it's quite rare. The Daoist is right; I do know a little bit of heterodox paths. For soul-loss syndrome, I truly do have a set of unique methods. However, I have conditions."

"Speak!" Chen Guanlou immediately felt relieved; he was only afraid the other party wouldn't have conditions and he would owe a huge favor.

Favor debts are hard to repay!

"I will go to the capital with you; regardless of whether I can save the person or not, two hundred taels, no bargaining."

"As it should be!"

Chen Guanlou immediately placed the two hundred taels of silver notes in front of the Wang family person.

The Wang family person didn't move, but continued, "If I save the person, five hundred taels, no bargaining."

"Agreed!" Chen Guanlou nodded immediately.

"I have another condition. I have a distant relative who lives in the mountains and makes a living by hunting. He often goes to the capital to sell game. Last month he went to the capital and never came back. I asked around, and they said he offended someone, was detained by the government, and even got a beating. I have no connections; I can't see him, and I don't know his current situation. I hope you will rescue him."

Chen Guanlou furrowed his brows slightly, "Rescuing people takes time, but I can't wait here. Can you help us with our business first? Rest assured, I will definitely help you rescue your distant relative. Rescuing people is what I am most skilled at."

The Wang family person furrowed her brows, seemingly dissatisfied.

Seeing this, Chen Guanlou continued, "Tell me your distant relative's name first, and which prison he is detained in."

The Wang family person said, "His name is Wang Qijun; as far as I know, he is detained in the Jingzhao Prefecture prison."

"This matter is simple. I am very familiar with Jingzhao Prefecture. As long as your relative hasn't offended the Emperor, no matter which powerful official he has offended, I guarantee to rescue him within ten days. How about that?"

"Let's write a promissory note. I can go to the capital with you right now!" The Wang family person was also straightforward.

Chen Guanlou was overjoyed; he didn't expect the Wang family person to be so easy to talk to.

He immediately wrote the promissory note, guaranteeing to rescue the person within ten days.

The Wang family person picked up the promissory note, feeling a sense of relief.

After accepting the two hundred taels of silver, she said, "Wait a moment."

She went into the house to change her clothes and packed a bundle. She instructed her little grandson, "Tell your dad and mom that Grandma is going to the capital for a trip. I will be back in a few days. Tell them not to worry blindly."

She didn't even go to the field ridge to say a word, carrying her bundle, getting into the carriage, and following Chen Guanlou and the others to the capital.

Medical Official Mu and the Wang family person rode in the same carriage.

The journey was long and boring, so the two started chatting.

Medical Official Mu had an excellent appearance, was well-read, kind-hearted, and good-looking. He was very attractive to middle-aged and elderly women.

Chatting and chatting, Medical Official Mu started prescribing medicine for her, "You have long-term stagnation in your heart, which is bad for your body. I will prescribe a formula for you to nourish your body. The most important thing is not to let things accumulate in your heart; if you need to vent, vent, only then can you live a long life and preserve your health. Those who die early are mostly those who have been stifled for a long time without relief."

After listening, the Wang family person laughed, "Life is not easy; how can one not have stagnation in one's heart? Old Immortal, I have wanted to slaughter the person beside my pillow more than a hundred times, but I couldn't get what I wanted; what do you say I should do? I am also afraid of dying early!"

Medical Official Mu's mouth twitched, his mood complex, "Killing people is definitely wrong. But... if the body is ruined, one will die very quickly."

"Then teach me, how can I ruin my body?" The Wang family person asked humbly.

Medical Official Mu dared not say, dared not ask.

This Wang family woman is truly poisonous! Exterminating the Xia family wasn't enough; could it be she wants to exterminate her husband's family too?

Can't afford to provoke!

Can afford to hide!
