Without money, what is the point of being a traitor?

Chapter 545 A Good Man Should Be Like This

With the help of the plug-in, Pei Yuan became stronger and stronger. He was filled with the urge to tear Jiang Bin to pieces, and he exchanged injuries with Jiang Bin as if he was completely unaware of the pain.

After the fight just now, Jiang Bin already had a rough idea of ​​Pei Yuan's strength.

When you have a good chance of winning, and in such an occasion where everyone is paying attention, the more beautifully you play, the better.

Therefore, Jiang Bin, who was as powerful as a tiger, did not give in at all. He wanted to use force to defeat Pei Yuan who was in his prime.

However, as the battle progressed, Jiang Bin discovered that Pei Yuan, who was originally in danger, not only held on, but was actually turning the disadvantage around bit by bit.

How can this be? !
Jiang Bin attacked for a while in disbelief, only to find that Pei Yuan actually held on.

Now Jiang Bin's punches and kicks were a little out of control.

As Pei Yuan became more and more ferocious and his arrogance rebounded, Jiang Bin, who was already showing signs of fatigue, fell into panic for a moment.

As the one who was fighting, he clearly felt that his physical condition was deteriorating.

However, the fierceness and murderous intent in Pei Yuan's eyes forced him to grit his teeth and persevere.

Jiang Bin was struggling to hold on, but he thought he could still bluff and hold on.

However, all these are no match for the fact that a bystander sees more clearly.

Everyone watched helplessly as Pei Yuan, who was like a bear, turned the disadvantage around with one punch after another, and then punched Jiang Bin until he staggered.

Many people who were nearby saw Jiang Bin being beaten to the point of vomiting blood, and they couldn't help but exclaim in horror, "Jiang Bin is going to be beaten to death!"

Pei Yuan, who was almost going crazy, also noticed that Jiang Bin was on the verge of collapse.

He tried his best to suppress his murderous intent and kicked Jiang Bin hard, sending him flying and falling to the ground.

Jiang Bin's head was like a blood gourd, with blood constantly oozing out of his mouth and nose. He struggled twice but failed to get up.

Pei Yuan's chin and front lapel were stained red by the blood he spat out, and he looked very hideous.

Then Pei Yuan controlled the urge to rush up and beat Jiang Bin to death. He pulled out the belt from his waist, rode on him and used the belt to strangle Jiang Bin's neck!
Everyone was horrified at first, and couldn't help shouting around, "Pei Yuan took off his pants!", "Pei Yuan took off his pants!"

When he saw Pei Yuan using the belt to strangle Jiang Bin's neck, he suddenly realized what was going on.

Although seeing Pei Yuan's pants fall to the ground, with his hairy legs exposed as he rode on Jiang Bin, it was indeed, indeed..., but it finally solved everyone's doubts.

Many people were thinking, so this is what is going on.

Pei Yuan's actions were naturally planned and targeted.

The reason why he went to the trouble of strangling Jiang Bin's neck, besides wanting to quickly clear his own name, was mainly due to one reason.

That is, this is the only opportunity that can be created to negotiate with Jiang Bin.

When the two were fighting to the death, they had lost their rational thinking and the only thought in their minds was to defeat each other.

If two people talk too much, it will also arouse suspicion from others.

Only then can the two sides be close enough and have enough time to respond.

The most important thing is that only by making Jiang Bin completely honest can he seriously consider his suggestions.

Although Pei Yuan had some thoughts in his mind, he was not polite with his hands. He pressed Jiang Bin down and tightened his belt so hard that Jiang Bin's eyes went dark.

This time, Jiang Bin no longer had enough energy to easily shake off Pei Yuan like last time and launch a brilliant counterattack.

Many images flashed through Jiang Bin's mind quickly, making him think about a life that was still full of regrets.

Just when Jiang Bin was suffering from the fear of dying and struggling to hit Pei Yuan, Pei Yuan relaxed slightly, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, amid the shouting of the onlookers, Pei Yuan said to Jiang Bin in a short voice, "I will admit defeat in a moment! When you get up, you must fight me and become sworn brothers!"

Jiang Bin's whole body trembled, his eyes opened wide in extreme panic and moved back and forth a few times.

Before he could figure it out, Pei Yuan seemed to have been hit in the vitals by his random struggle, and fell to the ground softly.

Jiang Bin felt his neck loosen and he could finally breathe in fresh air freely. The exhaustion and pain from surviving a near-death experience surged up, causing his body to go limp and he was about to fall to the ground.

Pei Yuan certainly couldn't let this turn into a lose-lose situation.

This is a worse consequence than beating Jiang Bin up himself.

What Pei Yuan had to face was a powerful force with a strong background like the Four Outer Armies, and he did not have any extra chips for subsequent tug-of-war.

If he wants to resolve this matter at the lowest cost, he must frame the conflict as between him and Jiang Bin.

Pei Yuan lay on the ground, staring at Jiang Bin fiercely, and said in a short voice, "Stand up, or I will get up from the ground and beat you to death!"

Jiang Bin had already lost all his persistence when he was almost strangled to death by Pei Yuan just now.

After hearing Pei Yuan's threat, even though his body began to tremble and tremble, he still gritted his teeth and insisted on getting up from the ground.

The common people and nobles who were watching the scene became even more excited when they saw such a dramatic scene.

Who could have thought that Jiang Bin, who had just been beaten like a dog, could actually make a comeback and become the final winner.

Jiang Bin supported his body, swayed a few times, and barely stood up.

Before he could regain his strength, Pei Yuan, who had pretended to fall, had already half sat up.

The people who had just been exclaiming how exciting and thrilling it was, suddenly started shouting and yelling again.

The two sides fought to such an extent that they had never heard of or seen anything like it. For a moment, no one dared to guess what would happen next.

If the fighting continues, someone will really die.

Pei Yuan half sat up. Naturally, he didn't want to help Jiang Bin too much and let Jiang Bin gain some reputation for nothing.

He tried to give everyone the impression that "he was obviously very strong, but just lost narrowly."

Unexpectedly, Pei Yuangang's slight movement caused Jiang Bin to want to step back in response. His body was unstable and he almost fell down.

Pei Yuan was afraid that their play would be exposed, so he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Look at me and show some sympathy."

Jiang Bin was now facing Captain Pei, whom he could not defeat at all, and he dared not disobey him at all.

He tried to steady himself and looked at Pei Yuan.

Although Pei Yuan was also seriously injured, Jiang Bin still felt unshakable by seeing his thriving vitality.

Pei Yuan said again, "It's almost time, hurry up and pull me up, or I will get up from the ground and beat you to death!"

Jiang Bin gritted his teeth and forced himself to do as he was told.

When Jiang Bin pulled Pei Yuan up from the ground, the people who had been watching nervously were completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?
Amid the noise of the crowd, Pei Yuan took this opportunity to whisper to Jiang Bin, "Qian Ning and I have a grudge, and I want to deal with him too!"

"Let's form an alliance."

"Why don't you use someone like me to deal with Qian Ning?" Jiang Bin's mind was blank and he just remained silent.

The noise died down a little at this moment. Pei Yuan raised his hand, which was tightly clasped with Jiang Bin, to the crowd and shouted, "Jiang Bin and I got to know each other through fighting. We both admire each other's bravery."

"We have just agreed that from now on, we will become sworn brothers!"

As he said this, he squeezed Jiang Bin's hand hard, almost breaking its bones.

Jiang Bin endured the pain and echoed loudly, "Captain Pei and I have become sworn brothers from now on!"

When everyone saw such a fierce fight and saw these heroic men sympathizing with each other, they all cheered loudly with excitement.

Zhu Houzhao appeared out of nowhere, chased by a group of military officers in plain clothes, rushed into the venue, laughing and shaking hands with the two men.

When the two men saw that it was Zhu Houzhao, they knew that this bastard was not only watching from the side, but also instigating the event in advance.

But he still pretended to be frightened and bowed.

Zhu Houzhao shouted, "Count me in, count me in!"

As he said this, he pulled the two of them down to bow.

Pei Yuan and Jiang Bin didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Pei Yuan certainly didn't expect that becoming brothers with different surnames would be of any use. He just wanted to use this relationship to solidify people's impression of him and Jiang Bin.

On the one hand, this will make Jiang Bin a little more cautious when he retaliates later, and he will not use his power so blatantly.

Secondly, Pei Yuan was interested in the morale of the border troops, and Pei Yuan's identity was a good entry point. When Zhu Houzhao and Jiang Bin were killed, he, Jiang Bin's sworn brother, would be more easily accepted by the border troops than someone who defeated Jiang Bin.

Thirdly, no matter how complicated the relationship between the two sides is, or whether it will deteriorate, the reason of being brothers with different surnames is always like a back door that can open a window of reconciliation for them at any time.

However, Zhu Houzhao's sudden intrusion caught Pei Yuan off guard.

Pei Yuan looked at Jiang Bin.

However, Jiang Bin's expression became even more confused.

Because he is Zhu Houzhao's son.

At this moment, Pei Yuan also thought of the fact that Jiang Bin was Zhu Houzhao's illegitimate son. He did not want Zhu Houzhao to take advantage of him because of his seniority, so he half-heartedly gave in and was pulled by Zhu Houzhao to kneel on the ground.

As Pei Yuan's layout became more and more thorough and he became more and more confident, he no longer cared too much about being tied to Zhu Houzhao.

In a few years, the border troops will be so anxious that they will send pregnant women directly to Zhu Houzhao. By then, as long as he can help the Ming Dynasty continue its incense, won't the world be protected by him, Pei Qianhu?
It is your own responsibility and you cannot avoid it.

Now that we have grown stronger, there is no point in shrinking back.

Following Zhu Houzhao's order, a close attendant brought incense and candles from the Da Ci'en Temple nearby, and the three of them became brothers in full view of everyone.

The common people who were watching didn't know who Zhu Houzhao was, but when they saw that Pei Yuan and Jiang Bin didn't refuse, they couldn't help but marvel at it.

Some officials, relatives and friends who recognized Zhu Houzhao did not dare to go and spoil the fun, and could only stare in amazement.

During this period, some of the Hanlin officials who were accompanying him wanted to dissuade him, but they were all scolded away by Zhu Houzhao who was in a good mood.

After the ceremony, Zhu Houzhao was filled with emotion. He looked at the two men and sighed, "A good man should be like this!"

Qian Ning was watching the two of them from a distance, gritting his teeth, but he didn't dare to go forward and say more.

Yin Sheng, who was waiting on the side, saw that there were so many people and was afraid that something might happen, so he quickly persuaded Zhu Houzhao, "Captain Pei and the deputy governor are both injured, so they should rest well now. Even if Your Majesty has something to say, you can summon them later."

Pei Yuan and Jiang Bin both looked at Yin Sheng with gratitude.

Pei Yuan is about to leave the battle. Although he looks majestic and intimidating now, when he leaves the battle, the sequelae of overdraft will erupt, and he will be in an even more miserable state than Jiang Bin.

Zhu Houzhao also reacted at this time.

Seeing that both men were bleeding heavily, he ordered someone to fetch a sedan chair and carried it into the nearby Da Ci'en Temple.

First, a meditation room was set up for the two of them, and then someone was urgently sent to find an imperial physician.

When Pei Yuan was lying in the Zen room, his injuries and overdrafts all broke out and he suffered a lot.

However, Pei Yuan didn’t dare to use the Zhu family’s imperial physician.

There are four things in this era that are not worthy of their names: Hanlin Academy articles, Wukusi swords and guns, Guanglu Temple tea and soup, and Imperial Medical Bureau prescriptions.

Not only may the prescriptions from the Imperial Hospital not be able to cure the disease, they also have a huge destructive power.

During the Chenghua period, Emperor Xianzong Zhu Jianshen fell ill. He told his ministers, "I had diarrhea for the past few days, but it's gone now. I just feel a little weak. I plan to rest for two days and you guys can have fun."

——"I have had diarrhea for a while, but my energy is still weak. I want to recuperate for a few days and temporarily avoid attending court."

After a few days, Zhu Jianshen told his ministers that he was feeling much better now, but the affairs of state had to be put on hold for the time being. All civil and military officials could go to the Wenhua Hall to pay homage to the crown prince every day.

A few days later, guess what?

——The emperor is dead.

How did such a great emperor die?
It was because Liu Wentai of the Imperial Medical Bureau felt that the emperor was ill and he had not done his best, and he had simply wasted an opportunity to perform in front of his leaders.

So, Dean Liu exercised his subjective initiative and insisted on having the emperor receive treatment every day, and he actually cured the emperor to death.

Moreover, this conclusion was not drawn by someone else, but was from an investigation report jointly issued by civil and military officials at the time.

The problem clearly lies with the prescription.

Even the imperial secretaries and censors, who usually scolded the emperor, could not stand this incident and frantically impeached Liu Wentai for "prescribing an unnatural medicine that led to the death of Emperor Xianzong."

After Emperor Xiaozong mourned his father's death, he combined the opinions of the people and made a verdict, "Demoted him to the position of Chief Judge of the Imperial Hospital."

???

Well, I can only say that the doctor-patient relationship in the Ming Dynasty was something special.

After that, Liu Wentai worked diligently in the Imperial Hospital, upgraded himself, and made a comeback after a few years.

then……

One day, when Emperor Xiaozong was praying for rain, he caught a cold and did not go to court, so his ministers went to visit him.

When Emperor Xiaozong saw that everyone came to visit him, he was very happy and said, "I'm fine, I'm almost well, you can go and do your own things."

——"I am getting better after my recovery, so you should all focus on your work."

At this time, a director of the Imperial Hospital who had returned to his job felt sad when he looked at the emperor who had pardoned him that year.

It has been eighteen years, eighteen years. I have been studying silently for eighteen years. Finally, the time has come for me to repay the emperor's kindness with my medical skills!

A few days later, Emperor Xiaozong died and Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao succeeded to the throne.
