Chapter 287: at all costs

   Chapter 287

   "Shut up!" Jiang Tang snorted coldly, his pressing gaze seemed to be able to choose someone to devour.

  Qiao Zhao still sat without changing his face, and even took two sips of the tea cup.

   "Little girl, you can eat tea indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense."

  Qiao Zhao put down the tea cup, pushed it in front of Jiangtang, and smiled sideways: "Great Governor, good medicine is good for the sick, and honest words are good for the deeds."

  Jiangtang suddenly leaned forward, a terrifying aura enveloped the little girl in front of him.

   The atmosphere was tense for a while.

  Qiao Zhao raised his eyes and looked at each other calmly.

After a long time, Jiang Tang sat up straight and said slowly, "Little girl, why should I trust you? Even the best imperial doctor would not say that I cannot survive for three years without removing the erysipelas in my body. How do you know if you're open-mouthed?"

  Qiao Zhao smiled: "Of course the best imperial doctor would not say it."

   greeted Jiang Tang's slightly suspicious gaze, the girl blinked, and suddenly had a playful look at her age: "Because they dare not."

   Pills are harmful to people. It’s not that those imperial physicians didn’t know this, but when today’s children are convinced, who would talk nonsense?

   Jiang Tang was dumbfounded.

The girl opposite    became serious again: "Of course, the more important reason is that they can't infer."

   "Those experienced imperial physicians can't infer, but you can infer just a little girl?"

"I can."

   "Why?" Jiang Tang felt that the little girl in front of him became more and more interesting.

   Can she really see that she has only three years to live? Or is it just rambling to escape the current troubles?

   If it is the latter, then he will not be merciful just because the opponent is young.

   "Because I am a disciple of Li Shenyi."

  Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows after hearing Qiao Zhao's words, suddenly a little disappointed, and said lightly: "You are not."

   Qiao Zhao waited for Jiang Tang to speak.

  Jiangtang smiled: "Little girl, tell me where is this place?"

   "Jin Lin Wei Yamen."

"And me?"

   "The commander of the Jinlin Guard."

"Since the little girl is not confused, then I will tell you that as early as after the last conflict between you and my daughter, I have sent someone to investigate your experience from childhood to adulthood. Before you were abducted and sold, you did not Have any contact with Li Shenyi." Jiang Tang gave Qiao Zhao a deep look, "Little girl, don't tell me, your medical skills came from Li Shenyi on the way back from the south. If medical skills were so simple, then If you can learn it, then the world's genius doctors have long gone."

  Qiao Zhao calmly listened to Jiang Tang, and then said lightly: "Li Shenyi left me all the medical books that recorded his lifelong learning before he left Beijing this time."

  Jiangtang sneered: "How long has it been since Li Shenyi left the capital? It may be difficult to even turn over the medical books that record what he has learned throughout his life."

   "It's not me, and no one else will come to the Governor to say this. The Governor will not think that I came here today just to quarrel with my wife, right?"

   "Then what is your purpose?"

   "In order to make a deal with the Grand Governor."

   "What deal?"

   "I'll give you a pill to relieve erysipelas, and you can find a way to save Young Master Qiao."

   "Master Qiao?"

   "Yes, Qiao Mo, the son of the former censor of Zuoyadu."

   "It's impossible!" Jiang Tang stood up suddenly, with a gloomy expression on his face, "Little girl, if you are too impatient to live, I can do it for you!"

  Qiao Zhao said calmly, "Three years."

  Jiangtang was extremely frustrated and said angrily: "Little girl, don't try to coax me as a fool. You said that it is true for three years? How to prove it?"

   "Does the Grand Governor feel a pain in his heart at 900 hours every day, so that he can't breathe well and can't work and rest normally?"

   Jiang Tang was startled.

   He used to get up every morning to practice the exercises, but this habit, which he had been doing for decades, stopped because he had difficulty breathing and heartache when he started to exercise recently.

   This little girl actually said it right?

   Jiang Tang narrowed his eyes and looked at Qiao Zhao with seriousness.

   He doesn't think that a little girl has the chance to know his physical condition, let alone his symptoms have never been told to his daughter, let alone other people.

  Qiao Zhao met Jiang Tang's gaze, and said again: "Every day at the juncture, the legs of the Grand Governor will twitch for about a quarter of an hour, and the medicine has no solution."

   "You!" Jiang Tang couldn't help standing up again, staring straight at Qiao Zhao, his heart churning.

   If the practice of martial arts in the early morning is easy to be known by those who are interested, how can the twitching of the legs at night leak out?

   This is impossible!

  If even such a thing could be known to outsiders, then he would not have to sit in the position of commander of the Jinlin Guard!

  Jiangtang was amazed in his heart, and after a long silence, Qiao Zhao said calmly: "Why should the Governor think too complicated, instead of believing in the simplest reason?"

   "The easiest reason?" Jiang Tang muttered.

"Yes, the most simple reason is because I know medical skills and have inherited from Li Shenyi's medical skills." At this point, Qiao Zhao sighed, "Of course, if the Governor still doesn't believe it and wants me to prove it, then I can't do anything about it. Only three years later."

  Jiangtang was angry and funny when he heard it, he slapped the table and said, "Little girl, you're so daring!"

   "I'm just telling the truth."

   "Well, I'll trust you for now."

  People are afraid of death, especially when they are in a position like Jiangtang.

   He is still in his prime, with a high position and authority. Even the six ministers have to be polite when they meet him. Such a good life can only last three years, who would be willing? Don't say that this little girl is eloquent, even if she can't say one, two or three, he will check it carefully.

  Qiao Zhao curved his lips and smiled: "The Governor is willing to believe that it is responsible for himself and his family."

   Jiangtang shook his head.

  This little girl is really rude, typical of pushing her nose on her face.

  Jiang Tang changed his words: "But you said that you want me to rescue Qiao Mo, this matter is very difficult to handle."

   He said, and glanced at Qiao Zhao meaningfully: "At least, there is no other way."

   "What way?" Jiang Tang's words didn't change Qiao Zhao's expression, she asked along the line.

  Jiang Tang suddenly turned his wrist, and there was a bright dagger in his hand, which touched her neck before Qiao Zhao could react.

   The dagger that broke when the hair was blown out exuded a slight chill. The person holding the dagger was colder than the dagger, but the girl who was pressed against the neck by the dagger did not change her face and looked at Jiang Tang calmly.

   "What is the meaning of this, the Governor?"

  Jiangtang chuckled: "Little girl is still too simple. Why should I do the troublesome thing to save Young Master Qiao, since you have medical skills in hand, isn't it enough for me to have you in hand?"

   "Does the Governor threaten me with my life to detoxify you?" Qiao Zhao asked calmly.

   "Why not?" Jiang Tang asked rhetorically.

  Qiao Zhao suddenly leaned forward, Jiang Tang hurriedly retracted the dagger, but the sharp dagger had already cut through the skin.

   The girl's slender and fair neck suddenly bleeds.
