Chapter 1,715: Million Bounty

What kind of consequences could that bringAs soon as a few people thoug...Ye Bufan asked, "Shopkeeper, I urgently need this kind of medicinal herbs. Could you possibly help me think of a way"
“I don't have any here. If you really want to buy one, you could try going to Ju Bao Ge or attending auctions at major shopping malls for a chance.”
The shopkeeper said, “Young man, let me remind you that the price for this kind of herb would be astronomical. It’s not something an ordinary person could afford.”
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
After Ye Bufan expressed his gratitude, he left Lingyao Zhai with Su Caiwei. This trip could be considered fruitful.
At least hearing news about the Hongyuan fruit proves that this Kunlun Continent still has this kind of elixir, and its name hasn't changed. It seems that traditional Chinese medicine on Kunlun Continent and Earth are of the same origin.
Two people had just left the apothecary when they saw a crowd gathering in the bustling market square ahead. Several officials in yamen uniforms were posting a notice on the wall.
Let's take a look at that.
Ye Bufan was not originally a good person, but since he had just arrived in this world and didn't understand many things, he wanted to get as much information as possible.
Coming outside the crowd, I glanced at the notice on the wall. It was posted by the City Lord's Mansion, with four large characters at the top - One Million Reward.
He couldn't help but feel a surge of surprise. To offer so much in bounties, what could they possibly be planning
Following the notice downwards, it roughly means that the city lord is seriously ill in bed and has hired famous doctors with a lot of money to treat him.
Everything before this is normal, but there's an additional condition afterward. If cured, a reward of one million gold coins will be given. If not cured, the person will be executed on the spot.
Ye Bufan saw this and couldn't help but be taken aback: "Execution on the spot if it can't be cured That's too unreasonable, isn't it"
"Brother Ye, don't talk nonsense."
Su Caiwei hurriedly pulled him away from there and didn't relax until they had walked a ways.
"Why are you so nervous"
Su Caiwei said: "This list we can't expose, naturally we have to stay away from it, otherwise we will invite trouble. In this Tianlang City, if we offend the City Lord's Mansion, there is only a dead end."
Ye Bufan asked, "What's wrong Is the mayor's illness very strange Can't your Taiping Medical Hall cure it"
"Yes, three days ago my father went to the doctor's office for treatment. He came back and told me that he clearly had a cold, but it was strangely incurable, and it kept getting worse."
Su Caiwei said solemnly, "You just arrived in Tianlang City and don't know the situation here. "
Our lord mayor is named Zhai Tianfang. He is a kind person, not only brave and good at fighting, but also kind and compassionate. The mayor's mansion is deeply loved by the people.
"The additional conditions on that list today are not there for no reason."
Ye Bufan was a little curious: "Tell me, what's the special situation"
"According to my father, these days many doctors have come to the door for the million gold reward. Many people used medicine without being sure, and as a result, not only did they fail to cure the illness, but they also worsened it. Now the lord mayor is in a coma."
I guess the City Lord's Mansion added this condition to the bounty contract to prevent such incidents from happening again.
"Otherwise, any doctor could just try it out, and the mayor's life would be in danger."
"Oh!"
Ye Bufan nodded, suddenly his heart moved.
Relying solely on one's own strength to find the Seven Star Grass and Red Yuan Fruit in the Kunlun Continent would be extremely difficult. If one could cure the mayor's illness and build a relationship with the City Lord's Mansion, leveraging their power should make things much easier.
Having thought of this, he asked again: "Miss Su, could you please tell me in detail about the mayor's condition"
"I'm not quite sure about that either. I'll have to ask my father."
Su Caiwei suddenly realized something and said nervously, "Brother Ye, you wouldn't be going to treat the city lord, would you This can't be done. "
"If it's cured, it's fine. But if you fail, the consequences are too great. You would be executed."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. I need to be sure."
As the two chatted and returned to the Taiping Medical Hall, Ye Bufan briefly explained the reward offered by the City Lord's Mansion. Then he asked, "Boss, have you seen the City Lord's condition Could you tell me what's going on"
"Yes, I did go to the city lord's mansion three days ago."
Su Dingfang pondered for a moment and said, "In my half-century of practice as a physician, I have never seen such an unusual ailment."
"It was clearly a case of cold, but using warming medicine actually worsened the condition. It was quite strange. Later on, the old man realized he lacked the skill to treat it and withdrew."
"How could this be"
Ye Bufan also lowered his head in thought. Through this period of contact, he had also gained a preliminary understanding of Su Dingfang's medical skills.
Although not a top doctor, his medical skills are comparable to those of Cao Xinghua and others. Under normal circumstances, misdiagnosis should be impossible.
But if one were to follow his account, the mayor's condition was indeed rather peculiar.
But you can't just rely on what others say about diagnosing illnesses, you have to see it for yourself.
Su Caiwei seemed to have seen through his thoughts and quickly advised, "Ye Gege, please don't do anything rash. The mayor's illness is truly peculiar. If it can't be cured, it will be fatal."
Su Dingfang followed up and said, "That's right, Ye Xiaoxia, you mustn't act rashly. While that million reward is tempting, it's not something you can just take. If you were to lose your life, it wouldn't be worth it."
Although he could see that Ye Bufan's medical skills were extraordinary, it was still unknown whether he could cure the city lord's strange illness.
Just as the father and daughter were trying their best to persuade him, suddenly there was a commotion outside the medical hall. Dozens of soldiers then rushed in.
After these soldiers entered, they lined up on both sides, leaving a path clear. Soon, a female general in military uniform walked in from outside.
This woman was originally extremely beautiful. With a ponytail trailing behind her, she looked especially valiant and heroic in her military uniform, exuding an air of nobility and strength.
She seemed to have a hint of malice in her eyes and brows, for some reason.
"Is this Taiping Medical Hall Who's the head of the family Come out here!"
The woman's tone was laced with anger, clearly not coming here in a friendly manner.
"Miss, how did you get here"
Su Dingfang saw the woman and immediately hurried up to meet her, his expression showing utmost respect.
Su Caiwei whispered in Ye Bufan's ear: "Ye Gege, you must be careful when you speak later. This is City Lord Mansion's young lady, Zhai Lingxiu, a famous female general in Tianlang City."
"Got it."
After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he looked at Zhai Lingxiu with interest. This woman, from her appearance to her temperament, resembled Dongfang Hui somewhat.
Zhi Lingxiu looked at Su Dingfang with anger: "Your Tai Ping Medical Clinic, since you posted my father's reward list, why haven't you sent anyone to treat the illness"
"Uh…"
Su Dingfang's face instantly turned pale, "Miss Su, are you mistaken Our Taiping Medical Hall has never taken on any list"
"Well, you still won't admit it It was your Taiping Medical Hall! This is all signed and sealed."
After Zhai Lingxiu finished speaking, she raised her hand and materialized a piece of paper in front of everyone.know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is.
