Chapter 240: That Man Has So Many Tricks Up His Sleeve

Performing a detailed dissection on a Plague Ghost was something already in Wen Gu's plan. It was just that now there was a better opportunity, so he moved this plan forward.

On this matter, Wen Gu's attitude was firm.

There was no helping it, the opportunity was rare!

There were two famous doctors who met the requirements at the same time!

Although those two were not Coroners, their skills in this area would definitely not be lacking!

It was just like how certain powerful professors related to clinical medicine, while not professional forensic pathologists, would certainly have performed no shortage of dissection experiments.

To be able to invite two experts to participate at the same time, what a great opportunity; of course, he had to get this done quickly!

Seeing that he really could not be persuaded, Patrol Lieutenant Yang could only comply, and after thinking for a moment, he asked for instructions: "How should we proceed next?"

Wen Gu had a plan long ago and said: "According to common sense, we have just obtained a batch of overseas medicinal materials and the harvest is quite bountiful, so we should be excited and thrilled!"

Patrol Lieutenant Yang understood. In the eyes of outsiders, he was the one who had planned this matter from beginning to end, and once the matter was finished, he should also be self-satisfied.

Patrol Lieutenant Yang replied: "Yes, this subordinate understands."

"7

Over the next few days, he would go out to show off and act arrogant, letting those jealous people focus their attention here, letting all the hot topics of Shenyi Gu revolve around these things, so that Wen Gu could quietly observe an important dissection and the two famous doctors could work with more focus.

As a smart subordinate, one should know how to get things done better.

Patrol Lieutenant Yang said: "The other five major clans of Beidi, as well as the local Medicine Gang, will certainly pay more attention to these, but the local commoners may not dare to bring these up for discussion; Zhang Dalang's matter can actually be utilized."

There were just too many topics surrounding this person, Zhang Dalang!

There was horror and melodrama; if there were a local trending list, Zhang Dalang alone would occupy several hot topics.

Patrol Lieutenant Yang felt some regret: "I shouldn't have handed Zhang Dalang over to Anxiang Hall so quickly; if he had been kept in our hands, we could have forced more information out of him!"

Wen Gu, however, said: "If the important information can be squeezed out and we can get our hands on the most valuable things, that is enough. After all, Zhang Dalang is a local and has some fame; we should just do things in moderation. Leave the rest for the locals to solve themselves."

For some matters, it might not be a good thing for them, as outsiders, to get too involved.

Patrol Lieutenant Yang thought about the news he had received: "There are rumors in the Town that Anxiang Hall has already executed him according to their internal rules, but I am skeptical of this news. Zhang Dalang is too greedy; besides the medicinal materials the Su Family smuggled back then, he might know of other places where supplies are hidden."

The biggest haul was taken by their Patrol Guard Division, but perhaps there were other small amounts of goods that could allow Zhang Dalang to trade for some benefits with the people from the Medicine Gang.

Besides this, Zhang Dalang might also know the secrets between the various local families; it might not be useful to the Patrol Guard Division, but it could have more influence on the locals.

"As long as he is willing to give it up and is desperate enough, he might be able to trade for a way to live with the Medicine Gang," Patrol Lieutenant Yang said.

"He cannot live," Wen Gu said. "The Medicine Gang is not of one mind. He ruined the business of the tea house, and there are many who hate him; if one or two famous doctors put pressure on him at this time—he will only have one outcome!"

Wen Gu conspired with Patrol Lieutenant Yang for a long time and set the follow-up plan before taking the letter "written by Patrol Lieutenant Yang to Doctor Tang" back to his sect on the mountain.

Doctor Tang, who had been waiting for a long time, could not wait to tear open the letter upon receiving it.

Before he could even see the content clearly, he first saw the handwriting on the letter—

At a glance, it was the kind of writing by a martial artist who hadn't read books for many years!

But thinking about it again, in a border town like Xinzhou where wars occurred frequently, being able to write and having it be legible was already quite rare!

Thinking of this, Doctor Tang only complained a few times in his heart and did not set high requirements.

It was precisely because of this that Doctor Tang never thought there were other hidden circumstances involved.

He quickly focused his attention on the content written in the letter.

At first, he was frowning, but as he kept reading, not knowing what he thought of, a look of pride appeared between Doctor Tang's brows and eyes.

"Ahem, it seems the doctors in your Xinzhou are not very capable?"

The people from the Patrol Guard Division inviting him to perform a dissection on a Plague Ghost was also a recognition of his ability!

But soon he thought again that Xinzhou was the first to develop the Antidote Pill—

Doctor Tang's look of pride subsided.

Folding the letter and putting it away, he sighed in his heart, "That man surnamed Yang has so many tricks up his sleeve!"

Pondering for a while, Doctor Tang said to Wen Gu: "This matter can be agreed to; when will you start?"

He was even more anxious!

There were only so many medicinal materials in Xinzhou that could be traded, and there were only a few that he had his eye on; there were many people competing in Shenyi Gu, so first come, first served—of course, he had to complete the transaction as soon as possible and get the things into his hands!

Wen Gu was also very satisfied to see this.

He just liked this straightforward and decisive spirit of Old Tang!

Seeing Old Tang agree to the matter, Wen Gu took out another piece of paper and handed it over: "This is a supplement to this matter."

It was still written by Patrol Lieutenant Yang; the content written on this paper was not much, but it was a requirement for the dissection.

Doctor Tang took it and looked at it, immediately unhappy: "Three Plague Ghosts?"

The letter said that three Plague Ghost corpses needed to be dissected: one that had just been infected with the Evil Poison, one infected for a year, and one infected for two years.

"Doesn't this have to be done in three sessions?"

Doctor Tang showed resistance.

Performing a dissection on a Plague Ghost once was very troublesome in terms of both the preliminary preparation work and the subsequent cleaning work; for the sake of the overseas medicinal materials, one dissection was fine, but three in a row?!

The few medicinal materials the Patrol Guard Division could take out for trade were not worth it!

Wen Gu said: "If possible, do it on the same day and get all three done."

Doctor Tang's brows were locked in a frown, and he was a bit angry: "Demanding a detailed dissection and wanting all three done on the same day, your Patrol Lieutenant thinks of things too simply!"

Wen Gu said again: "If it were only you, Master, it would indeed be too exhausting, so I was thinking of inviting Doctor Ji to come over as well. With the two of you taking turns, it should be doable, right?"

Doctor Tang was a straightforward person: "That will require adding—"

Wen Gu continued: "The medicinal materials are negotiable!"

Doctor Tang first confirmed: "The medicinal materials must be the ones I picked!"

Wen Gu nodded: "Of course, I wouldn't use this to fool you, Master."

Doctor Tang hesitated again and again, then complied.

It is only a bit tiring, but to be able to exchange for so many satisfactory medicinal materials, this trade is worth doing!

Besides, Old Ji is someone whose background is well-known, and we have cooperated quite smoothly several times in the past.

"Fine, I will write a letter to Old Ji and send it over; he owes you a favor this time, so he should agree."

As he spoke, Doctor Tang looked at Wen Gu: "You should know the rules, right?"

Wen Gu said: "Of course! Once you agree, Master, the deposit will be sent over immediately."

Doctor Tang was about to say something else.

Wen Gu added very considerately: "Rest assured, Master, those medicinal materials were personally selected by your Apprentice for you; there is absolutely no spoilage or deterioration!"

Doctor Tang was satisfied: "I expect you wouldn't dare to fool your master on this matter!"

After the medicinal materials serving as the deposit were sent up the mountain, Doctor Tang was even more satisfied after inspecting them.

Taking in this cheap Apprentice was quite worth it!

It was evident that the medicinal materials had indeed been carefully selected, exceeding both the quality and quantity he had anticipated by a fair margin.

Regardless of how much filial piety this cheap Apprentice has, at least there is some sincerity.
