Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 976 Ren, the Chief Constable of Shanba City

Chu Chen looked at the city lord in front of him with satisfaction and sat down without any hesitation.

Then he picked up the teacup in front of him and leisurely took a sip.

"Lord City Lord, there's no need to panic. Your son's illness isn't serious, but if you delay any longer, things might get very difficult."

The city lord smiled broadly, offering perfunctory compliments, but his eyes kept glancing into the house.

Chu Chen understood that he was waiting, waiting for his son to wake up.

If, as you say, you have truly woken up, then everything will be fine.

But if he doesn't wake up or his condition worsens, he'll probably have to prepare to run away.

Just after the two had finished a few cups of tea, a maid rushed out excitedly: "Lord City Lord, the young master is sweating a lot!"

"Haha, sweating is good, sweating is good..."

A little while later, another maid rushed out.

"Lord City Lord, the young master has woken up, and it seems his fever has subsided."

The city lord was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Hahaha, thank you, divine physician! Please come and examine my son!"

Chu Chen nodded calmly: "Alright, let's take another look!"

The two entered the room once more, one after the other.

As Chu Chen had instructed, the doors and windows of the room were opened, and sunlight streamed in, bringing a touch of life to the entire room.

The child on the bed had already opened his eyes. Seeing the city lord arrive, he immediately called out, "Father!"

This delighted the city lord. For a whole month, the boy had been running a fever, and all the famous doctors in the entire Shanba City had been consulted, but none of them could find the cause.

Even the Taoist priest from the mountain was invited, but he said that the evil spirit was too ferocious and that he was powerless to help.

Unexpectedly, he woke up after this seemingly miraculous young man administered a vial of medicine.

Chu Chen stepped forward and touched the child's forehead, then took out a thermometer and stuck it into the child's mouth: "Bite it down and don't talk!"

A moment later, looking at the numbers on the thermometer, Chu Chen thought to himself that the fever had subsided.

"Quickly, feed him that pill."

For someone whose body has never been exposed to antibiotics, one pill can have an exceptionally good effect.

Three days later, Chu Chen led Wang Guifang straight into the city lord's mansion.

The city lord, accompanied by his son who was almost fully recovered, immediately came out to greet them.

"The divine doctor has arrived. Please come inside and have a seat."

Chu Chen tugged at the nervous Wang Guifang: "Don't worry, the city lord is very easy to talk to. Let's go in."

Wang Guifang was a little confused. All she knew was that Qingxuan had been away on business for three days, so how did he end up hooking up with the city lord?

Moreover, judging from the city lord's enthusiastic attitude, it seems that the two have a good relationship.

No, a divine physician... Could it be that my own Qingxuan is a physician?

Wang Guifang followed behind Chu Chen, looking at the weak young man in front of her, and roughly guessed what was going on.

It must have been Qingxuan who treated the boy next to the city lord and thus gained the city lord's favor.

But no matter what, if I follow Qingxuan and climb up to the City Lord's coattails, then probably no one in Shanba City will be able to bully me anymore.

"A miracle doctor..."

"You're too kind, Lord City Lord. Just call me Chen Qingxuan!"

"Very good, very good, Young Master Qingxuan. My son's recovery and survival this time are all thanks to you. This must be Madam?"

The city lord looked at Wang Guifang sitting next to Chu Chen and asked.

"Hehe, Lord City Lord, this is my elder sister. Unfortunately, she has a hard life, so I brought her here today to complain to you!"

Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen recounted Wang Guifang's ordeal to him in detail.

This enraged the city lord, who slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "This Lord of Lingyang City is utterly lawless! He actually dares to come to my Shanba to arrest people! Does he disregard the existence of imperial authority?"

"Don't keep calling me Lord City Lord. My surname is Ba and my given name is Batu. Just call me Brother Ba."

Chu Chen chuckled after hearing this, thinking to himself that the effect was already there. From the city lord to Brother Ba, this was a qualitative leap.

Not wanting to be stingy, he immediately took the basket on his back and brought it to the front, then began rummaging through it one by one.

Tiger skin, tiger bone, century-old ginseng.

Batu stared wide-eyed, wondering what Qingxuan meant. If it was just about him getting revenge for this woman, there was no need for that.

This operation left him completely bewildered.

“Brother Ba, this is what my sister and I found in the mountains. We don’t have any use for it, so we might as well give it to you.”

"Qingxuan, little sister, this is tiger skin and tiger bone, and this should be the rare, hundred-year-old ginseng, right? This... is too precious!"

“Brother Ba, we don’t really have many demands. I’m used to traveling alone. I just want my older sister to be able to live peacefully in this mountain town and not be bullied.”

Batu thought to himself after hearing this, "This is really something."

"Qingxuan, if you believe your brother, then settle down in Shanba City with your younger sister. I will find you a house."

"As long as your brother is here, you will not suffer any humiliation."

Chu Chen nodded after listening: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Ba. If you could make me a constable or something, I guess those scoundrels would never dare to bully my sister again!"

Batu finally understood what Chu Chen meant, and thought to himself that this request was too simple.

Even if you don't cure my son, these things alone could buy a constable.

But he had already handed over his elder and younger brothers; he was just a constable. How could he possibly demonstrate his magnanimity and benevolence?

After all, having such a super expert by your side would have many benefits.

So he pretended to think for a moment and said, "Qingxuan, it's a waste of your talent to be a constable."

"How about this, you become the first chief constable of our Shanba City, in charge of the entire constable force?"

Chu Chen was immediately delighted upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "This official position is incredibly high! He's in charge of the entire Shanba City's official corps; he must be a department-level cadre!"

So he immediately stood up, pretending to be respectful, and bowed to Batu, saying, "Qingxuan is willing to serve the city lord!"

"Hahaha, it's settled then. Men, prepare a feast! Today, Brother Qingxuan and I will drink until we're drunk!"

That night, Chu Chen drank cup after cup, eventually knocking the city lord out of the water.

That's a joke; Old Chu's wine has completely entered the space.

Before leaving, at Batu's instruction, a carriage carrying a large box of silver transported Chu Chen and his companion back to the inn.

In Batu's words, it was a return gift for Chu Chen giving so many valuable gifts.
