Chapter 118: The Jade Ring of Jiqi Hall Appears

Li Yaoguang clicked his tongue and shook his head. Everything was over and he was ready to leave, but he was stopped by Gu Dajia and others in front of him.

"My dear lady, your mirror."

"My benefactor, your banknote."

Li Yaoguang looked at the small mirror held respectfully in the musician's hand, reached out to take it back, and stuffed it back into his chest pocket without a care. As for the silver bills that Mr. Gu brought?
She thought about it and stretched out her hand to take it. She quickly looked at the approximate amount, a total of one hundred and eighty-six taels. She took out fifty taels and gave them to Gu Dajia, thirty taels to Yanzhi, and twenty taels to the humiliated green-clothed musician. As for the remaining fifty taels, she took out fifty taels and asked Gu Dajia to distribute them to the people who had just come out to help from Linhai Tower. As for the last twenty-six taels, Li Yaoguang pointed at the crowd of people watching the excitement below and said to Gu Dajia.

"Madam Gu, everyone present here has helped you just now. Although they didn't do anything directly, if they hadn't surrounded you, the fat guy would have succeeded long ago." Public opinion is also very important! "Why don't you exchange this extra silver into copper coins and scatter them around to get rid of the bad luck for everyone? What do you think?"

Hearing this, the crowd who were about to leave the place did not expect such a good thing to happen. They could not help but stop and look at Li Yaoguang with eyes full of gratitude, secretly saying that the daughter of a noble family was magnanimous in her actions. They applauded and cheered, but of course they could not leave. As for getting rid of bad luck? It would be good to get rid of bad luck. They wished there would be more bad luck like this!
Madam Gu and her group, as well as the entire Linhai Pavilion, were saved from disaster today thanks to Li Yaoguang's help, so naturally, whatever she said went.

Gu Dashi was busy and wanted to go and change the copper coins himself, but the blue-clothed musician stopped him and motioned for him to go, as he was quick on foot.

Madam Gu nodded and simply took out her own fifty taels and asked the musicians to help exchange them and distribute them to the onlookers.

She could see that although the noble lady benefactor in front of her disdained this little money, people are always profit-seeking. If the common people below got the benefits, no matter what, they would feel guilty about taking the money. If something like this happens again in the future, they would surely not remain indifferent. If not, at least they could point fingers at them less, right?

The blue-clothed musician understood Gu Qing's intention, and without saying anything else, he also contributed all the twenty taels that he was allocated.
Seeing this, Yanzhi, although reluctant to part with her money, still took out ten taels and asked the musician to exchange them and scatter them together;
The others also discussed and decided to take out five taels of the fifty taels to spread bad luck.

Li Yaoguang saw all of this and nodded secretly, thinking that although these people were stuck in the quagmire, they still had ambition and were worth helping. He couldn't help but lower his voice and kindly reminded them at a volume that the people around him could hear.

"In this case, for the sake of everyone, if you have banknotes, please exchange them while you can. In this world, who knows what will happen tomorrow? To be on the safe side, real money is more secure than a piece of paper."

Madam Gu and the others paused as they handed over the banknotes. Thinking of Li Yaoguang's self-revealed identity and some vague information they had received from the outside world, they could not help but nod their heads repeatedly.

They hurriedly went to the money shop under the pretext of exchanging copper coins to quickly exchange the silver notes in their hands. This is a story for later.

But at this moment, after the blue-clothed musician and a few security girls left to exchange the money, Li Yaoguang, feeling that she had been reminded, said goodbye and left, as she was still busy.

It was already late and she was in a hurry to go to Jiqitang to see a doctor. Li Yaoguang declined Gu Dajia's kind invitation to wash her face and dress her up. She grabbed the hairband that had fallen from her head, gathered it with both hands, and neatly tied it into a small bow. After tying the hairband, not only was everything done, but she also proudly turned around in front of Gu Dajia.

"Look, Madam Gu, you are very stable. You really don't need to dress up anymore. I have something urgent to do, so I'll take my leave now. Goodbye."

"Uh, oh..." Gu Qing looked at Li Yaoguang stupidly, and waved his hands in a daze. He just watched him walk down the stone steps, and with a smile and a wink, he merged into the crowd of people waiting for money who made way for him.

Gu Qing realized it later. Damn! They were so busy talking about other things that they didn't even know the benefactor's name, let alone the specific location of the benefactor! As for the south of the city? The general? She didn't know the details!
Gu Qing reacted and looked hurriedly in the direction where Li Yaoguang had left, but he was nowhere to be seen, leaving him with only regret in his heart.

After passing the bustling place smoothly and walking around the busy streets and alleys for two more streets, Li Yaoguang finally arrived at Jiqitang with its imposing signboard.

The entrance of Jiqitang is also extremely busy today, with no fewer people than in front of Linhai Pavilion. It's just that the people here are more self-conscious. There are many but not chaotic. They line up in an orderly manner at the entrance. Upon asking, I found out that today is the day when Jiqitang provides free medical consultations and medicines, and poor people in the city and nearby villages and towns will come. No wonder there are so many people.

Since he came here to ask for help and see the doctor, he naturally didn't want to waste time by queuing and taking up the alms spot. Seeing a few apprentice pharmacists busy at work in the pharmacy on one side of the door, Li Yaoguang simply went up to ask.

"My dear brothers, may I ask if there is any good bone injury doctor in your hall? I am here to ask for treatment."

Upon hearing the voice, several medicine boys and apprentices took time out of their busy schedule to look at Li Yaoguang. Then a young man in his twenties came out and bowed to Li Yaoguang.

"Young Master, you came at an unfortunate time. Our clinic is offering free consultations and medicines for the past three days. Most of the doctors are busy with this matter, and the few remaining doctors have already scheduled their consultations for two days later. Young Master, if you are looking for a doctor, if it is an emergency, you can go to another clinic to ask. Don't delay the patient's condition. If it is not an emergency, you will have to wait for two days."

"This..." Her uncle's situation was neither urgent nor urgent.

"Brother, I have great faith in the medical skills and ethics of Qijitang. My family members are in a very difficult situation due to their injuries. I am afraid that other clinics will not be able to treat them. Moreover, when I was in Kyoto, I always sought treatment from Doctor Wu of Jishitang. We are old acquaintances. If possible, I don't want to look for another clinic or pharmacy. Brother, these seven clinics, Jishitang, Jimintang, Jidetang, Ji'antang, Jibaotang, Jigongtang and Jiqitang, were recommended to me by Doctor Wu. Can't you be flexible?"

The young apprentice was adopted by Jiqitang when he was young. When he was five years old, he entered the hall to work and learn medicine. Three years ago, due to his outstanding performance, he was transferred from the Yangzhou headquarters to Wuding Prefecture to serve on duty. He knew a lot of inside information.

It is precisely because of this that I know about Qijitang, which is unknown to most people. Seeing that the visitor spoke so well about Qijitang and was indeed right, and that he was a patient of Jishiditang in Kyoto and came to beg for help, it would be inappropriate to refuse.

The young man thought for a moment, then bowed to Li Yaoguang again and said, "Since you are a regular customer of Qiji Hall, please follow me inside to serve tea. I will report to the steward of my hall and see if I can help you think of a solution."

"Thanks bro, more bro."

"You're welcome, please follow me, young master."

Li Yaoguang followed the young man inside and was led into the small hall behind the medicine cabinet and consultation room to wait.

Before he had even finished his cup of tea, he heard footsteps outside. Li Yaoguang quickly put down his tea bowl and stood up to greet them. The person who pushed the door open was a middle-aged man with a short goat beard, about forty years old, thin but full of energy.
