[Three Kingdoms] After offending Wei Guoquan, I went to the peak of my life

As the relationship between Kong Rong and Cao Cao is getting worse day by day, in order to prevent Cao Cao from returning because of his futile conquest of Jiangdong, Kong Rong wrote another letter to ridicule him, so that he was so passionate that he cut Kong Rong's crimes - before leaving, Zheng Ping will mediate The heavy burden was handed over to Guo Jia, and he was entrusted to play by ear and try his best to save Kong Rong's life before he went back.

Of course, this is just in case, because Cao Chong's life was saved, the Battle of Chibi was not a disastrous defeat, and Cao Cao's headache was properly treated by Hua Tuo. Cao Cao has been in a good mood recently, and his endurance is straight Ascension, while rewarding the officials, even slightly promoted Kong Rong's official position.This endurance may last for several months, enough for him to find the herbs he needs in Jiangdong.

Zheng Ping went straight to Danyang County, took the pre-prepared biography titled "Han Heng", passed the gate guards, and entered the main city.

He searched in the city according to the information he had obtained in advance, and finally found his destination in a low house with two bedrooms and one entrance in the north of the city.

In this ordinary low house, there is a drug seller named Xie Zhu.This person has the name of "Little Boxiu".Because he was very similar to the hermit Han Kang (named Boxiu) in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He traveled all over the mountains and rivers in the north and south, and took all kinds of strange or ordinary medicines and sold them in the market. All medicines were sold at the same price. No bargaining of any kind will be accepted.

This setting made him immediately think of the ten-yuan store in later generations, as if someone was holding a loudspeaker and yelling "If you can't buy it for ten yuan, you will only lose, and you can't buy it for ten yuan and you will be fooled."

However, the medicine sold by this medicine man is not a cheap thing, and the price quoted is not affordable, which is different from the routine of small profits but quick turnover.Each of his medicines is astonishingly expensive, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Over time, all those who needed medicine did not yell at him, and his notoriety spread widely, and he was well-known in the north and south.People have accused him of grandstanding, imitating celebrities and selling medicines at the same price, but in fact he is thinking of money and thinking of madness, and he sits on the ground with a bunch of broken herbs to raise prices.

This drug seller named Xie Zhu is also a strange person.After being overwhelmed by the scolding, what he thought of was not to lower the price of herbal medicines, nor to separate quotations according to the rarity of different herbal medicines, nor to be scolded to be autistic and change his career from then on.On the basis of the original "no second price - all expensive to die", he also added a lot of various regulations.

The reason for buying the medicine could not convince him, so he would not sell it.

People who don't like it don't sell it.

When you are in a bad mood, don't sell.

The sunshine time is too long today, and it has been exposed to the sun for too long, so it is not for sale.

The hairstyle of the visitor seems to be a wise man, not for sale.

……

If he didn't know it, he would think that what he was selling was not the medicinal herbs picked in the mountains, but the elixir of immortality refined.

As soon as the strange regulations came out, no one cared about the already deserted thatched cottage.Unless the medicine was really hard to find, or someone nearby was in a hurry for some kind of medicine, then he walked into Xie Zhu's thatched hut holding his nose.

Because of the exorbitant quotations and the many and troublesome demands, Xie Zhu's herbal medicines are rarely sold smoothly.However, he is proficient in pharmacology and has a very high skill in keeping herbs. There are countless precious herbs in his inventory, which can be called a moving grassy dream.

For those who have loved ones on the line of life and death, and a grass is equal to a life, money is something outside of the body.Although Xie Zhu's medicines are expensive, his strange rules just broke the situation that the precious herbs were collected by the rich and monopolized by the rich to raise the price, and gave them a way out.

Because of the existence of these people, Xie Zhu, the drug buyer, is no longer the object of overwhelming ridicule.But as his reputation gradually recovered, his reputation was mixed, and his actions also violated the interests of some people.Many people hired killers to snatch the medicinal herbs; they threatened with knives to force him to give up all the precious medicinal herbs or change the rules; they even wanted to kill people to silence them.

But no matter how many people came, in the end, Xie Zhu was safe and sound, but those who hired murderers were in bad luck.

Over time, Xie Zhu from Danyang County, Jiangdong became famous and became a legendary existence, deeply feared by others.

After Zheng Ping learned about Xie Zhu, his interest in him reached its peak immediately.It happened that he was looking for some medicines, but he couldn't find them for a long time, so he happened to come to Xie Zhu to try his luck.

Zheng Ping asked several households, and finally determined Xie Zhu's whereabouts.He didn't knock on the door in a hurry, and stood by the door for a while.Seeing a small pool next to Xie Zhu's house, and a willow tree beside the pool, he walked under the willow tree, picked off a willow leaf, wiped the dust off the leaf with the sleeve of his clothes, brought it to his lips, and blew a short music.

Seeing that he could make a sound, he changed direction again, tried a few notes, and began to play the repertoire.

What he played this time was not the "famous song" "Intimidation", but a lively mountain tune.If someone passes by here and closes their eyes and listens, they will feel the comfort——

It was like seeing the green grass in the mountains, the strong cattle walking in the grassland, the plump cow's face moved and chewed the grass branches picked up by the roadside.Next to the cow, a hermit dressed as a farmer was sitting on the ridge of the field, eating the bread his wife baked for him before going out, looking at the green in the mountains and the blue in the sky...

Across the simple wall made of dirt piles and fences, Zheng Ping saw someone open the door of the house, but he didn't come out, but hid behind the door, like a stopped audience.

Zheng Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, and when the music turned, the artistic conception of the piece suddenly changed subtly.

The imaginary cow suddenly spat out the grass in its mouth, ran up to the hermit, pouted its hooves, pointed its butt at him, and gave a bang.The hermit could no longer maintain his leisurely and calm posture, so he quickly changed his face, picked up the hoe beside him, and chased after the fleeing cow.

Zheng Ping vaguely saw that the half-open door seemed to be trembling slightly, and he changed the music tone again, and the artistic conception changed again.

Everything seemed to go back to 3 minutes ago, the cow didn't stick its hooves at the hermit, and the hermit was sitting on the ridge of the field, eating the tasteless flatbread in his hand, looking at the green grass and the blue sky.

Only this time, the hermit is no longer leisurely and contented, but with a touch of melancholy, feeling sad that his talents are not used and his talents are not appreciated.

Until here, Zheng Ping has not changed the tone and artistic conception of the piece, and played the whole piece smoothly.

After he finished playing the tune, he waited for a while, but he didn't see the person by the door going out on his own initiative.After thinking for a while, he crushed the willow leaves in his hand and threw them into the pool.

After finishing this action, the owner of the yard finally opened the door completely, walked quickly to him, and asked expressionlessly: "Since you came to ask for medicine, why did you break the willow and play it, disturbing my tranquility?"

Xie Zhu thought that the other party would tell a lot of great truths, or pretend to be profound, and wanted to catch him hard.Unexpectedly, the other party actually said:

"Don't disturb your peace, how to wake you up, sell me medicine."

As a special supplier, Xie Zhu has not met someone who dared to be so rude to him for a long time.He raised his eyebrows, but he didn't have a bad temper like the rumors, turned his face and left, but asked in a rare and calm manner:

"What medicine are you asking for?"

Zheng Ping reported the name of the medicine, and Xie Zhu showed a little surprise as expected.

The medicine reported by Zheng Ping is not only extremely rare, but also very few people know about it.There is no relevant record in the current pharmacopoeia, only one or two traces can be found in some ancient books.

Xie Zhu asked, "Are you familiar with medicine?"

"Know a thing or two."

"I found it here, do you know my rules?"

"That's natural."

"Then let's answer the question first." Xie Zhu returned to his indifferent appearance, and said casually,

"First, what are you asking for these medicines for, and for whom are you asking for them?"

"In order to prepare the prescription, it's not for you anyway."

Xie Zhu's eyebrows twitched, but he continued to ask without expressing any objection.

"Secondly, how are you going to persuade me to sell you the medicine?"

Zheng Ping replied: "First the etiquette and then the soldiers."

This answer was not unusual, but Xie Zhu couldn't help but let out an inexplicable smile.

"It seems that you don't know me very well. Do you know how many people have threatened to make me look good, and brought a large group of people to try to coerce me by force, but they ran away with their butts dripping, and dare not come again?"

For Xie Zhu's hint and ridicule, Zheng Ping didn't take it seriously at all, instead he showed an unexpected and unknown smile just like him.

"It seems that you don't know me very well, otherwise you wouldn't say such things."

Xie Zhu said indifferently: "Then you have a try."

"The first one—"

Zheng Ping walked to the door of the house and knocked.

"Do you sell medicine?"

Xie Zhu's mouth twitched.

He didn't expect that the so-called "priority" would be such a perfunctory question. While he was speechless, he regarded this person as a troublemaker, and his attitude was much perfunctory.

"What about the 'back soldiers'?"

Zheng Ping touched a willow leaf again, and played the song "Cow Butt Boom the Hermit" repeatedly.

Xie Zhu endured and endured, endured and endured, and finally couldn't hold back the twitching forehead, stepped forward and snatched the willow leaf from Zheng Ping's hand.

"Don't insult this song."

Zheng Ping followed him to take away the "route of crime", and only replied: "Do you sell medicine?"

Xie Zhu gave him a hard look: "Not for sale."

Zheng Ping picked another willow leaf, this time Xie Zhu didn't stop it - there are so many leaves on the willow tree, enough for this person to pick hundreds of times, unless he knocked the person in front of him unconscious and tied him up, he would count it as a stop. He can pick it again next time.

"If you still want to play the song just now, then you can play it. The more you play, the less likely it is that I will sell you the medicine."

Turn around and leave after speaking.Zheng Ping did not give up his actions because of his departure, and continued to play the tune.

Only this time is different from last time.The artistic conception is still the same artistic conception, except that the cows that gave the hermit fart changed from one to two, and then from two to four.

When the artistic conception of the whole piece became more and more strange, when Xie Zhu seemed to see eighteen cows farting on this hermit himself, he couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed to Zheng Ping angrily.

"Don't blow it up, I'll sell it."
