Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Chapter 60 New Colleague Arrives

After Zhang Qishan was detoxified in Hong Mansion, he stayed there for one night and returned to his own residence the next day.

Zhang Qishan, who had just returned to the mansion, heard the butler report that Jinling had sent an intelligence officer named Lu Jianxun.

"I understand. Next time he comes, I'll tell him I'm busy and can't receive him, and I'll arrange a place for him to stay."

"It's Lord Buddha."

On the other side, Chenpi met a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner at the stall selling sugar-coated rice cakes.

"I heard that Mr. Chen was looking for medicine. I know a little bit about it. What do you think, Mr. Chen?"

"It's you again. Haven't you been beaten enough?" Chen Pi turned around and looked the foreigner up and down, trying to find some information about him from his memory.

"Mr. Chen, it was indeed my fault last time. I apologize to you here." The foreigner also thought of the last time he was beaten black and blue by Chen Pi.

"I accept your apology, you can go." Chen Pi didn't want to deal with these people at all.

"Mr. Chen, why don't you listen to what I am going to say next? If it is useful, it will be my apology for my last impoliteness. If it is useless, it will not be too late for Mr. Chen to leave." The foreigner's face froze. He didn't expect that this slow-witted Chen Pi would not respond to him.

The foreigner cursed the investigator in his heart. Whoever said that Chenpi was anxious to find medicine was talking nonsense.

"It's still some time before I start practicing, so just keep it short."

Chenpi knew from the look on the foreigners' faces that these people were up to no good.

"I heard that the previous steward of the Hong Mansion suffered from tuberculosis. I have a special medicine here. Only one course of treatment is needed to cure the disease." According to the information obtained by the foreigners, the steward Sun of the Hong Mansion never got married in his life. The current head of the Hong family, Er Yuehong, was raised by him. The person in front of him can also be regarded as raised by him. In the words of the Chinese, the steward Sun can be regarded as Er Yuehong's other father and Chenpi's grandfather.

"What special medicine?"

Chenpi has been looking for a prescription outside for a long time, but it can only relieve the symptoms. Now this foreigner says that the medicine can cure the disease. Although he doesn't quite believe it, he has no choice but to give it a try.

"I'll go back and discuss it with my master before making plans. But if you dare to deceive me, I will make you enter Changsha upright and leave Changsha upright." Chen Pi stared at the foreigner viciously.

The foreigner was frightened by Chenpi's ferocity and took a step back.

"Of course. It just so happens that I have one here. You can find someone who knows about it and try it. If it doesn't work as I said, I'm always welcome to visit Mr. Chen." The foreigner took out a small bottle of reagent from his arms and handed it to Chenpi.

After Chen Pi returned to the Hong Mansion, he first went to find his master Er Yuehong and gave Er Yuehong the small bottle of reagent given to him by the foreigner.

"I'll ask Master Jiu to come and see what this is."

Er Yuehong was also surprised that Chen Pi did not listen to the foreigner directly, but handed the reagent to him.

"Chenpi, you've grown up. You must never do anything wrong like you did as a child." Er Yuehong patted Chenpi's shoulder with satisfaction.

Chen Pi blushed and lowered his head. It was the first time that he was praised by his master.

A young man with oily hair and powdered face came to the gate of Zhang's house with a subordinate official.

"Butler Zhang, is Brother Qishan home today?"

"Mr. Lu, the Buddha is at home today, but he went to inspect some bandit leaders in the surrounding area some time ago, so a lot of documents have accumulated during his absence, so."

"Since Brother Qishan is busy, I will come visit him in a few days."

"Yesterday, when the Buddha knew that Mr. Lu was coming, he was really ashamed, but he was worried about the official duties. He asked me to arrange a place for Mr. Lu to stay and sent someone to take Mr. Lu to visit Changsha." Butler Zhang looked at Mr. Lu with a smile. Seeing that Mr. Lu did not believe him, Butler Zhang said, "The Buddha said that when he is free, he will invite Mr. Lu to the best restaurant in Changsha to welcome him."

Lu Jianxun also understood what Zhang Butler meant. Zhang Butler said that Zhang Qishan had gone out to inspect the surrounding area some time ago, so the official business had piled up during his absence. He also said that Zhang Qishan knew about his arrival but could not receive him in person, which was really Zhang Qishan's fault, so he arranged for someone to take you to see Changsha so that he could continue his work. When he is free, come to see him and apologize to him.

"Then I'd like to trouble Brother Qishan to take care of me despite his busy schedule. I'll wait for Brother Qishan to finish his work, and then we can drink and eat together."

Lu Jianxun said goodbye to Butler Zhang and turned to leave.

After leaving the Zhang Mansion, the subordinates around him said, "Sir, isn't Zhang Qishan just trying to fool us? How long do we have to wait until he is done with his work?"

"This is Zhang Qishan's territory after all. We just arrived here and we have nothing except a transfer order from above."

"Even if we die here, they will have an excuse."

After Lu Jianxun turned his back to Zhang's house, his expression changed instantly.

Zhang Qishan, standing at the window of the study on the second floor, watched Lu Jianxun's back as he left.
