Chapter 71 General Teacher
"The young master of the Pei family heard that Doctor Gong was an excellent doctor, so he wanted to invite Doctor Gong to Guangzhou to treat the bedridden Madam of the Pei family. He went to her house several times to invite her but was rejected directly."
Zidanqiang's blood circulation was restored a lot, and he climbed up tremblingly, pointing at Zeng Jiang and said, "Because Doctor Gong basically never leaves the clinic and only sees patients, and he doesn't accept disciples even though he has a martial arts school. This fat guy misses my sister, and often comes to the dock. After listening to what I said, he came up with an idea."
"As long as you are not in the clinic, there will only be four people left in the clinic, two of whom are women. Then we will come to seize this place as our territory, and Master Pei will come forward to save the clinic."
"This fat guy said that Doctor Gong is very strict with the rules of the martial arts world and will definitely go to Guangzhou to treat Madam Pei's illness."
"He also said he wanted to act, and brought people to give away Hong Kong dollars and write IOUs. Bah! He just wanted me to marry my sister to him first!"
Zidanqiang turned his head and yelled at Zeng Jiang: "You fat bastard, you still want to marry my sister? I'm telling you! The young master of the Pei family has already agreed to let my sister be his concubine. Who the hell do you think you are!"
Lin Bao's veins popped up when he heard this. He opened his hands and wanted to kill Zeng Jiang who was tied to the stake, but Zheng Wenjie raised his hand and stopped him steadily. Zeng Jiang was anxious and angry and sweated all over his forehead. He no longer cared about the bullet and Qiang's sister and shouted
"Master Zheng, Brother Bao, I am also doing this for everyone's good. The Pei family is extremely wealthy and has come to Hong Kong Island again to do big business. Miss, if you save Mrs. Pei, the Pei family will definitely thank you."
"Brother Bao, let's go transport a few more cargo ships to make some money, and we can also have the capital to open a business. With the help of the Pei family, we will definitely make a lot of money!"
"Really, believe me, Master Zheng, I am doing this for everyone's good."
Zhao Lei glared at Zeng Jiang angrily. No wonder he had been persuading everyone to agree to cooperate with the wealthy businessman Wen Jimin in going out to sea these past two days. Wen Jimin was willing to give them 40% of the profit. If he hadn't been annoyed by the fat man's enthusiasm, he would have agreed long ago.
The two brothers of the Hou family did not live in the clinic, so they rushed in at this moment. Seeing that everyone was at the martial arts arena, Hou Jie hurriedly said, "Master Zheng, someone saw us tying up Zidan Qiang last night, and the coolies at the dock gathered a group of people and came over."
"It's okay, it's okay!" Zidanqiang opened his arms and retreated to the door: "I'll go back and tell them to disperse."
He had just taken two steps back when he was stopped by Zhang Tianci. Zheng Wenjie waved his hand and said, "Let him go."
Zhang Tianci nodded and lowered his voice to Zidan Qiang, "If Master Zheng lets you go, then you should behave yourself and don't do anything tricky. If you see us next time, remember to take a detour, or we'll send a few grenades to your house. Remember that!"
Seeing Zhang Tianci pulling open his coat to deliberately reveal the grenade, Zidanqiang nodded in fear: "Understood! I'll go back and tell them to disperse!"
Zhao Lei saw Zidanqiang running out of the clinic door and said to Zhang Tianci, "He doesn't dare to do anything fancy. He relies on working as a coolie for the Japanese invaders at the docks and running casinos to keep a group of people fed and alive. If he had courage and courage, he wouldn't work for the Japanese invaders at the docks."
Zhang Tianci nodded: "Just scare him, don't let him cause trouble for Master Zheng."
Zheng Wenjie looked at the two brothers Hou Jie and Hou Rui and pointed at Zeng Jiang and asked, "Do you two brothers know what Zeng Jiang did?"
Hou Jie was completely confused, but Hou Rui pulled his brother aside and asked suspiciously, "Master Zheng is saying that Zeng Jiang and Zidan Qiang are setting a trap to deceive us?"
Zheng Wenjie saw this and did not doubt the two of them. He said to Zeng Jiang slowly: "It's normal for you to want a woman and want to live a better life, but you can't be a traitor."
Zeng Jiang begged with a panicked face and tears in his voice: "Master Zheng, please forgive me this time! No, there will definitely not be a next time. If this thing will harm anyone, even Zhao Lei, I will not do it!"
Zhao Lei snorted coldly, Lin Bao still clenched his fists tightly, Zhang Tianci had no expression on his face, after all, they were comrades together from the Northeast. Hou Jie ignored Hou Rui's pulling and advised: "Master Zheng, give him a chance."
Zheng Wenjie shook his head coldly: "His heart is no longer with me. If there is a first time, there will naturally be a second time. This time he gave advice to the Pei family, what about the next time?"
Hou Rui grabbed Hou Jie's hand and squeezed it hard, staring at his brother. Hou Jie sighed, closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Zeng Jiang panted and begged, "Master Zheng, I'm leaving. I'm going back to the Northeast and will never appear in front of you again. Please give me a chance to live, considering that Brother Bao and I have done things for you."
Zeng Jiang couldn't see Zheng Wenjie's eyes clearly under the refraction of the sunlight. He could only see Zheng Wenjie picking up the long knife on the ground and whispering, "That's not how the accounts are calculated. You worked with me in the Northeast and got paid. I'm fair. You get the same amount as I do."
"You agreed to come to Hong Kong Island because you wanted to live a peaceful life there. But I didn't expect that the Japanese invaders would come just one year later."
"What have ordinary people in Hong Kong been eating in recent years? What have they been drinking? The tragedy of cannibalism has been reported. They drank boiled sewage. What about you? You are still plump and white, relying on the food arranged for you by the Gong family."
"You are not doing things for me. I am the one who is supporting you. I have made you fat and white, and then you betray me."
Zeng Jiang's body was trembling, with the blade against his chest and abdomen. The pressure of life and death made Zeng Jiang's lower body feel cold and wet.
Lin Bao pulled Zhang Tianci to signal him to speak for him. Zhang Tianci nodded and took two steps forward to Zheng Wenjie and said, "Master Zheng, Abao is afraid that your hands will get dirty. Let him do it."
"No need," Zheng Wenjie said as he threw the knife on the ground. Seeing that everyone was silent, Hou Rui looked at Zeng Jiang with disgust, scratched his face with his hand and said, "Master Zheng, are you going to let him go?"
Zeng Jiang was overjoyed after surviving the disaster and looked at Zheng Wenjie hopefully.
"We have raised him for so long, we can't let it go in vain. My wife is proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine. Western medicine requires opening the patient's abdomen to remove the disease, so we need specimens to observe the internal organs of the human body, so that we can be more confident when treating the patient."
Zheng Wenjie looked at Hou Rui and smiled gently and asked, "Am I right?"
Hou Rui didn't understand for a moment. Didn't Doctor Gong always use Chinese herbal medicine to treat diseases? Why was opening the abdomen so scary? Doctor Gong had never used a knife except to remove the bullet.
Zhao Lei was smart. Although he was scared, he still asked, "Master Zheng, how about we clear out a room first?"
"No, no, no! Master Zheng, please...please, give me a chance, I am still useful! I can still do things for you, I can kill traitors, I can also kill Japanese invaders, kill traitors."
Zeng Jiang was on the verge of collapse, and the only life-saving straw he could think of was Zheng Wenjie leading them to kill Ma Changtu, who had worked for the Japanese invaders.
"This is a good thing, and it's worthy of respect!" Zheng Wenjie looked at Zeng Jiang gently and advised: "Instead of dying in vain, why not sacrifice yourself to save more people in the future?"
Sanjiangshui and two others trotted into the clinic and shouted, "Master! The Heshengtang from the dock brought a lot of people here to seek justice."
Zhang Tianci snorted coldly and touched the pistol behind his waist in annoyance: "Master Zheng, I'm going to go out and take a look."
"No need to go, let's see what Zidanqiang wants to do."
Zheng Wenjie looked at Lao Jiang, who was playing with the monkey at the gate, and asked, "Lao Jiang, when will the clinic open to receive patients?"
Lao Jiang touched the monkey's neck and said, "The young lady has been treating patients in the afternoons for the past two months. She is usually in the yard."
Zheng Wenjie nodded and said to Zhang Tianci, "Send Zeng Jiang to the backyard. Be gentle. He is the first cadaver teacher in our clinic."
The current Hong Kong Island has just recently been separated from the Japanese-occupied area. The British Hong Kong government is currently implementing military rule, but the British Hong Kong government is also aware that the current Hong Kong Island has not yet escaped the shadow of war. The population has dropped from more than 1.6 million before the war to less than 600,000 now.
Although it is a military government, it is not strict at all. On the contrary, in order to restore the economy faster, restore the prosperity of the free port in the past, and make the remaining population active as soon as possible, the governing policy is very relaxed. No one cares about gambling dens, opium, and brothels. It can be said that as long as there is no gunfight, there are no taboos.
That's why dozens of people from Heshengtang were able to hide blades and march all the way to the clinic.
