Chapter 398: Burning the Great Canon

The door opened.

The little Japanese, Liu Cangyun, appeared before the six people.

Liu Cangyun smiled and said, "Please come in, everyone."

In the pavilion of the courtyard, Lin Feng had tea served and greeted the six people with a courteous expression.

After drinking tea and chatting for a while, the middle-aged man finally could not help but state their purpose, and only then did Lin Feng lead them into the study.

Several people washed their hands, dried them, and eagerly grabbed the Yongle Encyclopedia from the bookshelf to read.

The little Japanese took out a pair of thick-framed glasses and put them on the bridge of his nose.

Actually, these are high-tech glasses with a photo-taking function.

They can store hundreds of thousands of pictures at once.

Lin Feng's mouth curled up.

Go ahead and take pictures; anyway, what they can see are literature, history, architecture, and so on.

The medical and Daoist volumes have long been stored away.

The little Japanese still has some erudition; from the Yongle Encyclopedia found on the bookshelf, all of it, even what Guo Jia has collected.

Comparing them, they discovered that Lin Feng's Yongle Encyclopedia here is indeed genuine!

Since it is genuine, we need to find an opportunity to photograph some important materials and take them back.

Unfortunately, there is nothing important.

The little Japanese whispered a few words into the ear of the middle-aged man leading the team.

The middle-aged man furrowed his brow, walked out the door, came to Lin Feng, sat down, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Lin, why are there no medical, Daoist, etc. volumes?"

Lin Feng also smiled and said: "Mr. Lu, you just said you only wanted to check some ancient historical and humanities materials.

By the way, help me verify the authenticity of this set of Yongle Encyclopedia; I think the several thousand volumes inside are already enough to meet your needs. You are not medical students, so even if you read them, they would be useless.

Moreover, that little Japanese friend of yours keeps snapping away with that camera-shaped glasses!

Those medical and Daoist records are the treasures of our ancestors! To have them taken away like this—you don't feel the pain, but I do!"

Mr. Lu was first stunned, then laughed and said: "Mr. Lin is right! That Mr. Nakamura indeed was a bit rude, but he had no ill intent. He's just overly obsessed with learning..."

This person was brought by Mr. Lu; the little Japanese's behavior, which amounts to theft, embarrassed Mr. Lu, forcing him to vigorously whitewash the little Japanese.

Lin Feng merely gave a hollow laugh.

Mr. Lu felt a bit embarrassed, stood up, and returned to the study.

Shortly after, the six people took their leave and departed.

Among these people, not everyone wanted to see medical texts.

At least four of them were very satisfied.

After leaving the door, all four wore smiles, saying they had finally seen a complete volume after the fragmented edition, and they really wished to come often in the future.

The little Japanese named Nakamura Yashu frowned tightly.

This time the goal was not achieved.

He did not expect that Lin Feng, a merchant, would guard against them like thieves.

After getting into the car, Nakamura Yashu said with a dissatisfied face: "This person is too rude, actually guarding against us like thieves.

Those volumes recording medicine are the most important. People like He Chang and Huang Lian can look at them, but we cannot—too hateful!"

Mr. Lu sighed: "We have hit a soft nail this time! To get those things, regular means won't work."

Nakamura Yashu's eyes lit up, "You mean..."

Mr. Lu laughed and said: "The Yongle Encyclopedia is a national treasure! How could it be allowed to belong to a private individual? It must be placed in a museum."

"Yes!"

Nakamura Yashu nodded: "If it were in a museum, with our exchange agreement, we could freely view it."

July 20.

Another Saturday.

He's Medical Clinic.

Li Gui, who came for a check-up last Saturday, returned for a follow-up.

Compared to a week ago, Li Gui's complexion has improved greatly.

"Doctor He, I can now eat some food; before I could only drink milk, chicken soup, etc. Now not only is my spirit much better, but I can also drink porridge. By the way, when I vomited the day before yesterday, I threw up a piece of meat, which I put in a bottle and soaked in alcohol..."

Li Gui said, taking out a small bottle from his pocket.

He Chang took a look and confirmed it was a tumor from Li Gui's stomach.

After putting down the bottle, he took Li Gui's pulse, examined his tongue coating, and felt the back of Li Gui's head...

After the examination, He Chang happily said: "I still need to adjust the prescription, reduce a few medicines, add a few medicines. If it works, that would be even better."

He Chang also did not speak definitively.

Because in his decades of practicing medicine, he has never truly cured a late-stage cancer patient.

Similar patients who came before for treatment only wanted to take some Chinese medicine, combined with Western treatment.

"Good, good! Doctor He, you are truly a divine doctor!"

Li Gui wore an expression of gratitude.

He Chang merely smiled.

After writing the prescription and handing it to He Gui, he let him take the prescription to the side to get the medicine and decoct it.

When Li Gui was about to leave, full of thanks, He Chang called him back: "Mr. Li, can you wait here for half a day? This afternoon I will invite some friends over to examine you together."

Li Gui naturally nodded in agreement.

After leaving the consultation room, he went with his daughter to pay and get the medicine.

He Chang spent the morning examining the patients who had taken numbers today.

Then he made several phone calls, summoning several friends from the Chinese medicine community.

Then they jointly consulted on Li Gui.

As a disciple favored by He Lao, Guo Yanqiu had the fortune to sit in.

To be honest, the things those old professors said were like a Heavenly Book to her.

The discussion among the several people hadn't finished yet.

Guo Yanqiu's phone rang.

It was the little steward Liu Cangyun calling.

After running aside to answer the call, Guo Yanqiu came running over with a shocked face, "Teacher, seniors, something big has happened on Mr. Lin's side!"

After Guo Yanqiu said that, the old professors were startled.

Then they rushed out the door, got into the same vehicle, and hurried toward Lin Feng's Sihe Courtyard.

Upon arrival, they saw many people gathered at the gate of the Sihe Courtyard.

Most were passersby or nearby residents.

He Chang and the others entered the gate and saw the courtyard filled with the Yongle Encyclopedia.

Many people surrounded the area.

There was Mr. Lu who had come the day before yesterday, there was Nakamura Nozhong, and there were duty personnel from some department.

There were also reporters holding video cameras filming on site.

The Yongle Encyclopedia was haphazardly piled in the courtyard, and gasoline had been poured all over it.

Lin Feng said with a cold smile: "We aren't those powerless ordinary people who think handing over to Guo Jia will let them take it for nothing! Looking for excuses to ransack my home! Don't they see what era this is!"

Just assume these Yongle Encyclopedia I collected are all fake! I made them myself, printing and binding them for fun when I had nothing to do.

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he used a lighter to ignite the cigarette butt, took a puff, then tossed the cigarette away.

"Boom~"

A blaze ignited in the courtyard.

The Yongle Encyclopedia with its bright yellow covers was engulfed in roaring flames.

What the hell is going on!!

He Lao and Ms. Huang Lian looked on in shock at all of this.

After Lin Feng ignited the fire, he stepped to one side.

This matter will likely blow up next, becoming known to everyone.

When the time is right, the Yongle Encyclopedia that has long been printed should be put on sale.

Those Yongle Encyclopedia that were set on fire are, of course, fake.

How could Lin Feng possibly burn the genuine Yongle Encyclopedia?
