After leaving the Wuxiang Marquis Mansion, the cold sweat on Yuan Rong's back had not dried yet. He thought he was here today to invite the Wuxiang Marquis Prince Su Zicheng to go to the wind and moon with him. Who knew that this would be the result? He was dissatisfied with the boss Yang Ning in his heart. But now that things have happened, blaming and complaining will not help. I can only tell Yang Ning repeatedly to fulfill her promise and keep Wu Guanshi safe.
Yang Ning felt quite comfortable. When she returned to Jinyihou Mansion, she was not in a hurry to tell her family what happened.
He thought that he would sleep peacefully that night, and that seemed to be the case. He slept very peacefully in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night, he suddenly heard a banging on the door, which woke Yang Ning up from his deep sleep. .
He was very unhappy and was about to get angry when he heard Qi Feng's voice. He suppressed his anger and opened the door. He saw Qi Feng's anxious look on his face. Seeing Yang Ning open the door, he said anxiously: " Your Majesty, something bad...is going to happen!"
In the middle of the night, Qi Feng's appearance surprised Yang Ning and asked, "What's wrong? The sky is falling?"
"It's almost the same." Qi Feng said: "Master, there's a fire over there at the pawn shop..."
Yang Ning didn't react for a moment and frowned: "What do you mean? What's burning?"
"The pawn shop, the pawn shop is on fire." Qi Feng stamped his feet anxiously: "Second brother Duan has already escorted the third lady to the pawn shop. Second brother asked me to come over and tell the prince."
Only then did Yang Ning realize it, and she lost her voice: "Are you talking about our pawn shop?"
"Yes." Qi Feng thought to himself, if it was someone else's pawn shop, why would I be so anxious
Yang Ning knew something was wrong, so he hurried over and pulled off his clothes. As he walked, he said, "Why did the pawn shop burn down? Is it serious? Take me there quickly. By the way, did anyone get hurt?"
Qi Feng followed Yang Ning and said, "Someone over there came to report that the pawn shop suddenly caught fire in the middle of the night. I don't know what the situation is now."
Qi Feng had already sent people to prepare horses in front of the mansion. He did not delay when he left the mansion. Qi Feng led the way on horseback, followed closely by Yang Ning and two other guards.
The horse was flying fast, and soon Yang Ning saw the red sky in the distance, and knew that there was a fire point. Pegasus rushed over, and when they arrived at a crossroads, they saw flames in front of them. Few people are putting out the fire.
Yang Ning was stunned when he saw this scene. The fire had not only burned one or two houses, but had spread. Five or six houses were already covered in fire.
Yang Ning turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly over. In the firelight, he saw Gu Qinghan and Pingting's figure. As she approached, the firelight illuminated Gu Qinghan's face red, but her delicate body was trembling. Yang Ning shouted: " Sanniang...!"
Gu Qinghan turned to look at Yang Ning, with a bitter smile on her face. She suddenly shook her delicate body, but saw her cover her left chest with one hand. There was a look of pain on her pretty face, and she was about to collapse. Yang Ning was about to collapse. Ning stepped forward quickly, held her soft and fragrant body, and said in surprise: "Sanniang, Sanniang, what's wrong with you?" Gu Qinghan was seen clenching his teeth and frowning. Although he was near the fire, his face was dark. It's pale and terrible.
Duan Canghai had already rushed over at this time and asked in surprise: "How is the third lady?"
Qi Feng shouted: "Please call the doctor quickly."
Duan Canghai grabbed it and said, "I'm sorry!" He touched Gu Qinghan's hand gently with his hand, frowned and said, "Hurry up and call the doctor!"
"Can't wait." Yang Ning shook his head and said, "Sanniang has a heart disease. This kind of disease cannot be delayed. Let me give it a try."
Duan Canghai and Qi Feng were both startled and surprised. Qi Feng couldn't help but ask: "Master Shizi, you... can you still treat diseases?" But they were full of doubts in their hearts, fearing that Yang Ning would not be able to cure the disease and would delay it. .
Of course Yang Ning does not have medical skills, but he is quite familiar with some common acute diseases. Heart disease is actually one of the most common acute diseases. Yang Ning really knows a little about it. At this moment, he reaches out to Gu Qinghan's hand pulse. When they went up, Duan Canghai and Qi Feng looked at each other and wondered, looking at the prince's appearance, could he really know how to diagnose diseases with his pulse
Yang Ning did know how to feel the pulse briefly, but he didn't have the means to diagnose a disease.
Diagnosing diseases with pulse is not as easy as it sounds. It is a relatively high-tech skill. Even in Yang Ning's era, doctors who could really understand pulse were very few and far between.
Yang Ning took the pulse not to diagnose a disease, but to find the Ximen point on Gu Qinghan's hand. Ximen point is one of the twelve meridians of the human body on the Hand Jueyin pericardial meridian. It is on the palm side of the forearm, five inches across the wrist crease. Yang Ning knew that massaging the pericardial meridian could reduce heart pressure and replenish blood supply.
In fact, this kind of emergency meridian knowledge is not complicated or profound, but not many people know about blood meridians, so it seems very mysterious.
Yang Ning had studied the human body's meridians, acupoints and bones. When studying the meridians and acupuncture points, he also learned these emergency methods.
Cardiac syncope is a very common sudden illness, and the symptoms are easy to identify. Yang Ning could tell at a glance that Gu Qinghan was having a heart attack. He knew that it was caused by shortness of breath attacking the heart. At this moment, he pressed the Ximen point of Gu Qinghan with his left thumb and grasped it with his right hand. She held her hand, turned her left thumb in the opposite direction, and swung her right hand outward. Such movements seemed very strange to Duan Canghai and others. They looked at each other in confusion, but in their hearts they were suspicious of Yang Ning.
After just shaking it for about ten times, Gu Qinghan exhaled softly from his pink lips and opened his eyes slightly. Yang Ning did not stop, stretched out his fingers and pressed the Neiguan point on Gu Qinghan's arm, and rubbed it several times, and Gu Qinghan coughed. After a while, I finally opened my eyes completely and looked around.
Duan Canghai and Qi Feng both looked happy. At this time, they no longer had any doubts about Yang Ning, and they were filled with admiration.
"Ning'er...!" Leaning in Yang Ning's arms, Gu Qinghan smiled bitterly: "The pawnshops were burned down, this... oh, this is all my fault...!"
Yang Ning helped Gu Qinghan up and said softly: "Sanniang, the fire in the pawnshop was just an accident. What does it have to do with you?" There were many people putting out the fire. It must have been that the neighbors were awakened to put out the fire, and there were even some The patrol officers also joined the fire-fighting team.
Duan Canghai saw that Gu Qinghan was fine, so he went over and continued to direct people to put out the fire. There were more people and more power. Although the fire was fierce, with the concerted efforts of everyone, the fire gradually extinguished a lot.
Yang Ning frowned when he saw that the fire had burned down five or six houses, and the damage was really considerable. At this moment, he saw a man walking through the crowd. He was over fifty years old, walking heavily, and his clothes were still on. The man was in a mess when he saw Yang Ning. He was startled for a moment, but he still came forward and suddenly knelt down in front of Yang Ning.
This man suddenly knelt down, and Yang Ning was startled. He heard this man already crying: "This old slave is useless, Your Majesty, the pawnshop was burned down because of my carelessness. You... you kill this old slave." .”
Before Yang Ning could speak, Gu Qinghan had already walked over and said with a frown: "Shopkeeper Xu, get up first!"
Shopkeeper Xu knelt down and cried: "The old slave has been trusted by the general and the third lady and has been running the pawnshop for more than ten years. However, this time he caused such a huge disaster. Even if he died ten times or eight times, it would be difficult to atone for his sin." , Third Madam, Crown Prince, Old Slave... This old slave has no face to live anymore...!" He knelt on the ground and banged his head on the ground.
Yang Ning knew that this shopkeeper Xu should be the shopkeeper of the pawn shop. When he saw him knocking his head on the ground, if he didn't hold him back, the old guy was really going to kill himself. He stretched out his hand to pull him up and said in a cold voice: "The matter hasn't come to light yet. What is going on?" I haven’t even figured it out yet, why are you so anxious to seek death?”
Shopkeeper Xu burst into tears and trembled all over.
"How could this happen?" Manager Qiu's anxious voice came from behind. Yang Ning turned around and saw Manager Qiu coming in a hurry, "It's so good, how could there be such a big fire?"
Manager Qiu looked ugly. He stepped forward, stared at shopkeeper Xu who was in tears, and asked: "Old Xu, what is the situation? Did the fire come from someone else, or did our shop catch fire first?"
Yang Ning thought that the general manager was the general manager, but this sentence got to the point.
The fire burned down five or six shops. If it had been caused by someone else, even if the Qi family's pawn shop was burned down, they would still be able to find someone to compensate them, and the loss would not be too great.
However, if the fire was caused by the Qi family pawnshop, the consequences would be disastrous. Not to mention the huge loss to the pawnshop itself, several other shops that were burned down would definitely come to the Jinyihou Mansion to demand compensation. The government will surely fall into unprecedented difficulties.
The current economic situation of the Jinyi Hou Mansion is already very unsatisfactory. Qi Jing suffered a great loss, which cost a lot of money. Now he still owes a lot of money to the bank. If given time, after all, the financial resources of the Hou Mansion are not weak and can be recovered. But if At this time, the responsibility for the fire fell on the Jinyihou Mansion, which was undoubtedly a fatal disaster.
Gu Qinghan was obviously very concerned about this. He stared at Shopkeeper Xu with his bright eyes, just waiting for Shopkeeper Xu's reply.
Shopkeeper Xu burst into tears, "Third Madam, Manager Qiu, this fire... this fire spread from our shop...!"
Yang Ning's heart sank, Manager Qiu's expression became more solemn, and even Gu Qinghan changed his face slightly, sighed softly, and shook his head.
"The other ones are all in a line to the south of our pawn shop." Yang Ning said slowly: "The north wind is strong tonight. Once the fire spreads, it will inevitably spread southward...!" He frowned: "These The shops are mainly made of wood, and it is late autumn now, the sky is dry and the ground is dry, it is the most dangerous time...!"
By this time, the fire had slowed down. When putting out the fire, in order to prevent the fire from spreading to the south side of the store, we started to put out the fire from the south first, blocking the source of the fire to the south.
But because of this, the Qijia Pawnshop was the hardest hit. Almost the entire shop had been burned down and turned into ruins.
