Chapter 1018: What Happened?
Editor: Henyee Translations
Shopkeeper Pan was stunned for a moment. He blinked and craned his neck to take a look.
At first, he didn’t quite understand, but after a while, his expression changed.
“You, how did you get this?”
“What do you think?” Shao Qingyuan looked at him coldly.
Someone beside him could not see it clearly and did not understand. He quickly asked, “What is that?”
Constable Wang explained coldly, “That’s a fish talisman. All the officials in my dynasty have this to prove their identity. Young Master Shao is an imperial physician, so he naturally has one too.”
...Fish talismans? All the imperial court’s officials had them?
‘Does that mean he’s real?’
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Then, they looked at Shopkeeper Pan angrily. “What’s wrong with you? This is our first time getting vaccinated. You’re still spouting nonsense here and making us worry.”
“Constable Wang, I’m afraid this person has ulterior motives. Hurry up and arrest him.”
Shopkeeper Pan shook his head. “How is that possible?” How could a person enter the capital and become an imperial physician in such a short time?
He grabbed the fish talisman from Shao Qingyuan’s hand and looked at the words engraved on it.
His name and address were all there, and they were all correct?
B-But…
Shao Qingyuan took the fish talisman. “Get lost.”
Shopkeeper Pan subconsciously took a small step back. Constable Wang went forward and grabbed him. He sneered and said, “Do you think our lord is a muddle-headed official? This concerns the lives of millions of people. How can we hand such an important matter to him without confirming Young Master Shao’s identity? Young Master Shao came from the capital and is escorted by the imperial guards sent by the Emperor.”
No, there were no imperial guards, but words had to be said beautifully.
“I, I…” Shopkeeper Pan took two more steps back, feeling flustered.
The others present pointed at him, making him panic.
Constable Wang grabbed him and walked out. “This is the emperor’s decree. You clearly have ulterior motives for doubting Young Master Shao. Come, follow me to the government office.”
“No, no, my lord, please spare me. I really didn’t. I am. I misunderstood. I misunderstood.”
Constable Wang didn’t listen and dragged him out. “Tell the prefecture magistrate if it’s a misunderstanding.”
Shopkeeper Pan burst into tears on the spot. He had already been to jail once and did not want to go again.
His begging voice became more urgent, but it was also getting further and further away.
After the voices could no longer be heard, Shao Qingyuan said to everyone, “It’s alright. Continue.”
Everyone present now firmly believed in Shao Qingyuan. He was a true imperial physician who could take out fish talismans and could be trusted.
Shao Qingyuan pinched the fish talisman in his hand and narrowed his eyes.
This fish talisman was given to him by the Emperor. Since he had to take on the mission of Xuanhe Prefecture’s cowpox vaccination, he had to be given some necessary things to avoid many troubles.
It seemed that the emperor’s consideration was right. This fish talisman had really saved him from trouble.
He walked around the hall and saw that the doctors were familiar with it. After seeing that there were no problems, he quickly left the Million Gold Pavilion silently from the back door.
There was a carriage parked outside the back door. There were guards on both sides. When they saw Shao Qingyuan, no one stopped him. They let him walk to the carriage and jumped up.
Two people were sitting in the carriage and talking softly. When they heard the commotion, they immediately turned to look at him.
“What’s going on with Shopkeeper Pan?”
