Niu Zhenghong bowed to the villagers and said, "I've heard that there's a young man from Xuzhou who is extremely skilled in medicine, named Wang Ping'an. I came here today specifically to look for him, but instead I met all of you fellow elders and neighbors. It seems that you also know about the reputation of the 'Little God of Medicine' Ping'an!"

  Chang Qingfeng thought: "You didn't say that before you came, even just now in the car, you kept complaining, how did you change your tune as soon as you got off the bus!"

  Niu Zhenghong said, "What the people think is what this official thinks, what the elderly want is what this official wants! Come on, come on, let this official hang up this plaque for Ping'an Xiaoyi!"

  As he spoke, he got down from the carriage and walked towards the gate. The people parted to make way for him. Chang Qingfeng followed behind, and further behind were two young men with satisfied smiles on their faces - Zhao Bi and Lu Xiu!

  As they arrived at the gate, a sturdy man came to his senses and hastily handed a bamboo pole to Niu Zhenghong. Niu Zhenghong held up the pole and made a few gestures, whereupon the sturdy men shouted in unison: "Raise the signboard!" They all exerted their strength and hung up the signboard; someone went to secure it on the gate.

  Wang Youcai and Yang hadn't seen the Governor before, nor did they know if he was real or fake, but seeing how everyone else respected him, they thought he should be the real deal! The Governor isn't a small official, that's the highest-ranking official in Xuzhou!

  The old couple hurried forward, wanting to kneel down and pay their respects to Niu Zhenghong! Niu Zhenghong hastily stretched out his hand to support them, not allowing them to actually kneel down! Wang Youcai quickly said: "Your humble servant didn't know that Governor Niu was coming to my house, this...this...nothing has been prepared, your humble servant will immediately order the kitchen to prepare a banquet!"

  Yang was also surprised, how did Governor Shi come? Today is just the common people sending couplets, not even the government sent them, even if the government wants to send them, it's not necessary for Governor Shi to come in person! Alas, looking at Governor Shi's appearance, he looks quite sturdy, similar to many of my family's tenant farmers, if he goes to farm, he should be a good farmer!

  Hao Ba Shi Niú Zhèng Hóng looked at Wang Ping An with a smile, stroking the fine mustache on his lips, and said: "Is this the little divine doctor Ping An?"

  Wang Ping'an immediately stepped forward, and with a slight swing of his sleeve, he was about to pay his respects. His movements were slightly slow, waiting for Niu Zhenghong to support him, so he didn't have to kneel down!

  As expected, Niu Zhenghong hurriedly said: "No need to be polite, Ping'an, you have cured the illnesses of the common people and relieved their suffering. It is I who should thank you!" When he was in the government office, he was not courteous to other doctors, so no one dared to exert themselves. Now, he did the opposite and treated Wang Ping'an with special kindness and courtesy!

  The crowd of onlookers surrounded the village, with two or three thousand people. Although those on the outer edge couldn't see what was happening inside, there were people live-streaming and narrating non-stop, telling everyone outside what was going on!

  The common people all exclaimed in admiration, the name of Little Peaceful Divine Doctor spread throughout Xuzhou, even the Governor himself showed such respect to him and wanted to thank him. Little Peaceful Divine Doctor is a good person, the Governor is also a good person!

  Someone shouted: "The great man is wise!"

  The common people all cheered in unison, loudly shouting that Governor Shi was wise and had a discerning eye for talent! It seemed as if Niu Zhenghong wanted to make Wang Ping'an his son-in-law!

  Wang Ping'an was used to being given a "good person" card by others, but Niu Zhenghong was the first time. He couldn't help feeling a little proud in his heart, thinking: "If the common people call me good, then I am good. The only thing is that I don't know if there are any imperial envoys sent to inspect here. If there are, then this matter will be recorded and it will be a great achievement!"

  At this time, someone behind called out: "Wang Xian Di, my father has also come to see you!"

  The villagers turned around, and it was the Qiu family father and son who had arrived. Qiu asked Pu if he was a great scholar, and Niu Zhenghong was also a high-ranking official. The two of them came together, and the humble village of Wulicun would surely be honored!

  Wang Youcai said: "Let's not stand at the door and talk, come on in quickly!" He was very excited, never thinking that his own home would have a day to entertain a historian!

  The people outside were greeted by the steward of the Wang family, and Niu Zhenghong and others followed Wang Ping'an into the mansion.

  The guests and hosts sat down, Niu Zhenghong was thinking about something in his heart, he didn't say much, it was all Chang Qingfeng speaking on his behalf. Qiu Xunpu also occasionally chimed in with a few words, in short, they couldn't get away from flattering each other. After talking for a long time, the polite conversation left them parched, but not a single sentence touched on the main topic.

  Niu Zhenghong didn't want to waste time, he couldn't put down his father's affairs and couldn't help but say: "Ping'an ah, although this official has seen you for the first time, seeing the common people praise you, it seems that you are a responsible person, and your medical skills are also good! This official wants to ask you, if there is a patient who refuses to see a doctor, what should be done?"

  "Sir, you're asking if there's someone who refuses to see a doctor and gets angry when others say he's ill, right?"

  Niu Zhenghong nodded and said, "That's right. Not only does he dislike others saying that he is ill, but also gets angry when seeing a doctor, turning minor illnesses into major ones. Have you ever seen such a person before?"

  Wang Ping'an thought for a moment and nodded: "There are quite a few patients like this, but students haven't seen much of it. Is there someone in the adult's family who is afraid of illness or doctors?"

  Niu Zhenghong sighed and said, "My family's old master has a weak body, almost every doctor in the city has seen him for his illness, but as a result, the old master got very angry and refused to see any more doctors. But if he doesn't see a doctor, how can his illness get better? This is really putting me in a difficult position!"

  Wang Ping sighed in his heart, "You're having trouble, come find me. If I can't solve this trouble for you, I'm afraid you'll turn against us and make our whole family suffer!" But in his mind, he didn't believe it. With so many doctors in the city, wouldn't they be able to cure Old Lady Niu's illness? Were they too scared to take a look? His heart was like a clear mirror, and his face naturally showed hesitation, so he didn't immediately continue the conversation.

  Qiu Wenpu said, "Sir, don't worry, I've read about this kind of thing before. Didn't Bian Que say something like this when he saw Cai Huan Gong? There are two ways to solve it: one is for the doctor to run away, just like Bian Que did; the other is to trick the old man into drinking the medicine, and once the medicine goes down his throat, the illness will naturally be cured!"

  Wang Ping'an curled his lip, thinking: "You make it sound easy, but can the illness really be cured just by taking the medicine? Am I a god or something?" He knew that Qiu Wenpu was being kind and wanted him to show off in front of Shi Ti, but the problem was that he didn't know what illness Niu Lao Taizai had, nor did he know if it could be cured.

  Pian Que was a remarkable figure, with a clever mind. When he was in Handan, he heard that the place respected women, so he became an obstetrician and gynecologist. In Luoyang, he heard that the place respected the elderly, so he specialized in treating diseases of old people. In Qin State, he heard that the place loved children, so he became a pediatrician. And when he was in Shangcai, seeing that there were many officials here, he specifically treated illnesses for officials!

  The most important thing is that Bian Que has the ability to see things not going well and run away quickly. Cai Huan Gong was afraid of illness and avoided doctors, he took one look at this illness and knew it couldn't be cured, so he packed his bags and ran away overnight! But Wang Ping An can't do that, he has a family, a business, parents, a house, and a young concubine, if he can't cure Old Lady Niu's illness, he won't even be able to run away!

  Qiu Wenpu said, also a bit regretful. What if Wang Ping'an can't cure Niu Bula's illness? Wouldn't his words be an invitation for disaster?! Don't look at how polite Niu Zhenghong is now, but once he turns against you, no one in Xuzhou city can withstand him! He continued: "I don't know what kind of illness the old man has, but it seems to be a difficult and complicated disease?"

  Niu Zhenghong nodded and said, "Not bad, it's indeed a difficult and complicated disease!" He was the father of Governor Shi, and he was different from others. Even if he got sick, he couldn't get ordinary diseases, only rare and complicated ones. This was the only way to show his noble status!

  Niu Zhenghong suddenly stood up and rushed to Wang Ping'an, saying: "Ping'an, I have something to tell you, listen carefully!"

  Wang Ping'an hastily stood up and said with a bitter face: "As a student, I am young and inexperienced, this is an adult's matter..."

  Niu Zhenghong said: "My wife's surname is Wang, and you have the same surname. Five hundred years ago, we were originally from the same family. I checked my wife's genealogy at night and found that Wang Weng was actually my wife's distant cousin, and you are my nephew! Now I order you to immediately recognize your ancestors and return to our clan... Hmm, let's talk about this later. For now, I order you to acknowledge me as your uncle!"

  "It's your uncle!" Chang Qingfeng reminded him in a low voice, according to the seniority mentioned by Niu Zhenghong, Wang Ping'an should be his nephew, not his grandson.

  Niu Zhenghong glared at him and said, "Mind your own business!" Zheng Zhong nodded solemnly and said, "Admit that this official is your brother-in-law!"

  Wang Ping'an looked at Wang Youcai and saw that his father's mouth was wide open, then he looked at his mother, who also had her mouth wide open. The old couple were both stunned!
