When Ouyang returned to Yulou with a rack of animal skins, the entire people of Yulou were shocked.

In ancient times, there were no entertainment activities, but anything unusual like sesame seeds and mung beans would attract a large number of people to watch.

It is a traditional virtue that Chinese people like to join in the fun since ancient times.

On ordinary days, those hunters can hunt one or two forest wolves, which is enough to brag about for three or four days, not to mention the hides of so many wild beasts, not to mention that there are even black bears in them.

"Which family is the leader of this family, so powerful?"

"I don't know, it's so strange."

"This is much better than Hunter Wang's house in the north of the city."

"It's a pity that this gorgeous outfit is stained with blood."

"That's not necessarily a beast he killed himself. Maybe he just happened to hit a pack of wolves fighting each other."

"Definitely not. Look at the wolf skins above. They are big, smooth, and still intact. How can you get such good skins in a fight?"

Everyone looked at Ouyang dragging the animal skin, and there were whispers, which made Ouyang feel a little uncomfortable. He didn't like being stared at by so many people.

But this is good, it can be regarded as an advertisement, and it should be more convenient when selling animal skins later.

"Stop! You stole my animal skin and where are you going?"

Ouyang walked into the market and suddenly felt the tractor sinking. When he turned around, a man in bright clothes and a ruffian face stepped on his tractor.

The same rice feeds all kinds of people. Since there are people like Changchun Medical House who are willing to sacrifice their own interests and treat the injured for free, then naturally there are also ruffians who cheat and kidnap people.

"What are you looking at? You stole my animal skin and you still want to give it away?"

As the man spoke, five more men gathered around him, some with long sticks in their hands, some with short knives in their hands, with fierce looks on their faces.

But this kind of ferocity is more or less pretended, and it's as funny as you want it to be.

"Just these few?" Ouyang raised his eyebrows, "Not as many as I have animal skins."

"What are you talking about? This is obviously my animal skin!" The colorful man raised the short knife in his hand, "Don't think you can kidnap my animal skin by talking nonsense!"

"You may not know that these eight wolf skins all belong to the wolf king. I took out the wolf king among the wolves, and those..."

"Stop talking nonsense! I'm warning you, kid, no one dares to touch my things in Hulou Yi!" The bright-colored man didn't intend to give Ouyang a chance to speak. He waved and asked his companions to surround him.

"Tsk, forget it, since it doesn't make sense, let's be simple and crude..."

Ouyang shook his head helplessly, looked at the ruffian who was approaching, picked up his tactical stick, and hit him hard on the shoulder.

"Kacha!"

A clear and loud sound seemed so harsh in the silent street.

"Don't worry, I learned my medical skills from Chang Sangjun. I promise I won't beat you to death."

He glanced at the few gangsters gathered around him and struck straight to the point.

In fact, it doesn't count as hitting the vital point. If it hits the vital point, wouldn't it mean to kill them? In line with the principle of humanitarianism, Ouyang has no intention of killing them, but breaking arms and legs, punishment is definitely unavoidable.

.

"Hey, you look at things that are worthless."

Ouyang curled his lips disdainfully and glanced at the crowd around him. This

The ferocity scared them so much that they took three steps back.

"Get out of the way, the city chief is coming!"

A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, and then, a middle-aged man in rich clothes walked out surrounded by the crowd.

The middle-aged man's face is extremely fat, and his two small eyes are squinting, which makes people feel sick just looking at him.

"I heard that a theft occurred here." The noble-looking man looked at the scene, frowned and said, "It looks like it was not just theft, but also injury! Where is the Yiwei?! Capture the criminal!"

"

"Hey, everyone, I'm a bit Mercury retrograde today."

Ouyang glanced at the guards who were approaching with long spears, tightened the short spear in his hand, and wondered whether he should simply stop using the animal skin.

Forget about the gangsters, the officers and soldiers are not easy to mess with.

But he couldn't bear this tone.

"What's going on? What's going on?" Medical woman Jiang Yu shouted from the crowd as she walked out, followed by more than a dozen doctors and apprentices, as well as several strong nurses, "I heard that there are

Injury, Chief of the city, let us take a look first!"

"Changchun Hospital?" Chief Fei Zhuyi frowned.

Changchun Medical House has a very high prestige and a special status in Hulou. If it is not handled well, it is not impossible to provoke a civil uprising.

After organizing the apprentices to treat the gangsters, Jiang Yu suddenly saw the animal skins on Ouyang's tow rack. She was startled for a moment and then said to Ouyang with a normal expression:

"Mr. Ouyang, why didn't you notify the hospital so that we can ask the apprentices to come and help you? You see, if you come by yourself, there will be many unreasonable scoundrels who will come to trouble you, right?"

Good acting! Ouyang secretly praised it.

Jiang Yu said, glanced at the gangsters howling on the ground, and then looked at the fat pig chief: "Mr. chief, these animal skins were funded by the national master Zhu Ji to fund our hospital. Do you think there is anything in them?"

Misunderstand."

Chief Fei Zhuyi frowned, squeezed his eyes even smaller, and said: "Since he belongs to the hospital, let him take him back. But you can't escape the crime of hurting people in the street. This man

Although he is dressed in fine clothes, he is covered in blood, and he is not a kind person at first glance. For such a vicious person, you might as well go to the prison with me for a visit."

"Trouble, why did you offend this city chief?" Jiang Yu glanced at Ouyang, her tone a little anxious.

"How do I know?" Ouyang rolled his eyes and asked inexplicably, "Approximately how many guards are there in Yu Lou Yi?"

"There are about three hundred people." Jiang Yu looked at Ouyang with a strange look on his face, "What do you want to do? Don't do anything stupid."

"Why don't you just arrest the criminal?!" Seeing Ouyang's unresponsiveness, Chief Feizhu became a little irritable and shouted, "Dr. Jiang had better stay away from the criminal, so as not to be accidentally injured."

This is already a naked threat.

"Accidental injury? I want to see who dares to accidentally injure the guest minister of the country." Behind Ouyang, a familiar voice sounded.

The crowd moved aside automatically, revealing a carriage with simple decoration but grandeur. On the carriage was none other than Fan Li, who had just parted ways with Ouyang.

"Who are you? Don't you know that civilians are not allowed to ride when seeing nobles?!" Seeing that his prestige had been hit, Feizhu became even more irritable. He waved his hand and asked his guards to press him up. It seemed that this was the only way to

Get back some prestige.

"You don't deserve to know who I am. All you need to know is that Mr. Ouyang is a guest of the Imperial Master. If you want to arrest someone, you must first go to Shouchun."

I'll ask the Imperial Master if he agrees."

Fan Li stood on the carriage with a disdainful look on his face, and then waved to Ouyang, gesturing for him to get on the carriage.

He bowed slightly to Jiang Yu and said, "These animal skins will trouble the medical woman. Ouyang and I still have something to say."

After saying that, he didn't care about the fat pig mayor and local gangsters present, and just drove the car away from everyone's sight.

…………………………

"Why are you here?" Seeing no one around, Ouyang asked.

"I thought that as an outsider, you might not have a legal status in Chu State, so I gave you a jade seal." Fan Li said, taking out a small jade seal from his arms and handing it to Ouyang.

.

Ouyang Jade Seal took a closer look.

The seal is only about the size of a thumb, and is white in color. It is engraved with patterns similar to those of birds, and the four characters "Shou Chun Mi Shi" are written in Yang-engraved Chu script at the bottom.

Fan Li explained: "Because the Chu State is close to the wilderness, southern barbarians often enter Chu, so the management of the people under its rule is the most chaotic among the countries. Even if your origin is unknown, it doesn't matter.

But for this reason, if the people of Chu State do not have noble status, it can be said that it is difficult to move forward. You must have felt it just now. Just a few animal skins, the chief of the town dared to openly occupy them, and even acted like the local ruffians.

"

"So I am now considered a Chu noble?" Ouyang asked, looking at the jade seal in his hand.

"That's right, Shouchun Mi. It's not a big deal, it's a joke. Keep the jade seal well. It's a symbol of your status and can save 99% of the trouble." Fan Li looked at the jade seal and said,

"The black bird above is the Suzaku. Legend has it that it is one of the incarnations of the God of Fire Zhu Rong. The national master Zhu Ji made it temporarily out of white jade. It's not bad, right?"

"It feels very warm and comfortable to the touch." Ouyang nodded, put away the jade seal and said, "By the way, I learned a strange thing at the Changchun Hospital, which is related to the Imperial Master Zhu Ji."

"Oh?" Fan Li raised an eyebrow, "Let's talk about it."

"National Preceptor Zhu Ji asked the Changchun Hospital to take in more than a hundred refugees from the Kingdom of Wu."

Fan Li pondered for a moment: "Well... there doesn't seem to be any problem."

"The issue of 'accommodating refugees' is not the point in itself, but that all the refugees seem to be healthy, but no nobles are willing to accept them." Ouyang said in a strange tone,

"And Zhu Ji just wants these refugees to survive, and doesn't care whether they have enough to eat. They just feed them lazily. It's like..."

"What's the point of keeping these refugees... as living sacrifices?!" Fan Li said a somewhat scary word, which startled Ouyang.

"No way? Is there really still human sacrifice?!"

"Yes. Living sacrifices have always been very popular among the nobles of the Chu State. However, they usually find one or two slaves, randomly commit unwarranted capital crimes, and then perform sacrifices during executions. Moreover, the number each time is not large.

Basically, there are only ten at most..."

"But there are more than a hundred people here..." Ouyang reminded, "Does he plan to do it slowly in batches?"

"Impossible. If he wants to sacrifice slowly, then he can take them all as slaves and then sacrifice slowly." Fan Li overturned Ouyang's point of view, and then said, "I just didn't know he wanted so many.

What do people do for sacrifice?"
