Applause erupted from the surrounding crowd as Luo Shu finished speaking.
"Prime Minister Luo states that Mr. Cheng is a divine doctor and a grandmaster, so it must be true!"
"Of course, Prime Minister Luo has seen countless people, and he can tell at a glance if someone truly has skill!"
"In short, we should listen to Prime Minister Luo!"
"Yes, is there any doubt about someone affirmed by Prime Minister Luo!"
In the blink of an eye!
The crowd unanimously affirmed Cheng Xiaofan.
"..." Cheng Xiaofan was speechless.
Was this praising Luo Shu, or praising me, a divine doctor and grandmaster?
But!
Mouths are on others.
Let them say what they will!
"Mr. Cheng, what is your consultation fee?" Luo Shu asked Cheng Xiaofan at this moment.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Elder Luo, I know you have lived a life of poverty as an official, so don't talk about consultation fees with me!"
Luo Shu quickly said, "How can that be? You make a living by practicing medicine, I must at least show some appreciation!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Let's forget it. If you really feel bad about it, come to your residence tonight and invite me for a simple drink. Let's be friends!"
Luo Shu was pleasantly surprised and said, "That would be great! My place isn't far from here, it's less than a ten-minute walk!"
"I'll give you a business card, and you can find your way there then?"
Cheng Xiaofan took the business card Luo Shu handed him, chuckled, and said, "Good, Elder Luo, it's settled then!"
At the same time, Luo Shu asked Cheng Xiaofan for his phone number.
After Luo Shu left.
The onlookers swarmed forward.
They all wanted the divine doctor and grandmaster to examine their bodies.
These were all ordinary people with little money.
Cheng Xiaofan treated it as a warm-up for today.
He provided free consultations to them.
Cheng Xiaofan finally finished this free clinic after working until sunset.
Ring ring!
As Cheng Xiaofan packed up his belongings, his phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Luo Shu calling.
"Mr. Cheng, are you finished with your work?"
Luo Shu asked with a smile on the other end of the phone, "I have already prepared the food and drinks. I'm just waiting for you to start eating!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Elder Luo, I just finished. I'll be right there!"
The owner of this inn was a beautiful woman, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressed provocatively and incredibly charming.
Seeing Cheng Xiaofan about to go out for a meal, she smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, please try to come back as early as possible. I'll be closing the inn promptly at nine o'clock. If you're late, you won't be able to come in to sleep."
"Don't worry, landlady, I'll be back early!" Cheng Xiaofan replied with a smile.
Cheng Xiaofan followed the address on the business card and found Luo Shu's residence without much difficulty.
Three thatched huts with walls made of mud.
Cheng Xiaofan, who had once been a prime minister of the court, could never have imagined that Luo Shu's residence would be so shabby.
"Elder Luo, you live in a place like this?" Cheng Xiaofan asked directly as he entered the house and saw Luo Shu.
Luo Shu chuckled and said, "Mr. Cheng, I think this house is quite good. It's warm in winter and cool in summer. Besides, having a house that can shield us from wind and rain is good enough!"
"You must know that there are many poor people in the world who don't even have a place to live!"
"Come, come, sit down by the table!"
On the table were several dishes: scallions mixed with tofu, steamed small fish, steamed eggplant, and shrimp skin and seaweed soup, along with a plate of peanuts.
A pot of homemade white wine was placed beside them.
"Mr. Cheng, please excuse my humble fare. These few dishes are too simple!" Luo Shu said somewhat apologetically.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Elder Luo, actually, the first time I saw you, I knew that you had lived a very difficult life over the years!"
"If I'm not mistaken, you married a woman named Mu in your youth, who later died in childbirth."
"After that, you never remarried and adopted a son from elsewhere, naming him Luo Haoyuan. He served as an official in the capital, but later had a conflict with a wicked person and was demoted to a remote and desolate place to herd sheep!"
Luo Shu looked at Cheng Xiaofan with a shocked expression.
He asked, "Mr. Cheng, I was transferred to the capital from another place to serve as an official. No one in the capital knew about my wife Mu's death in childbirth."
"How do you know so much about my family affairs?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Elder Luo, there's no one else here. To be honest, all of this, including your brittle bone disease, I saw from your 'qi mechanism'."
"Qi mechanism?" Luo Shu was somewhat stunned by this term.
Cheng Xiaofan explained, "The so-called 'qi mechanism' is a display of a person's life information, which encompasses a very wide range of things."
"For example, a person's health status, life experiences, or information about family members!"
"However—"
At this point, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but say with a hint of pride, "Elder Luo, actually, in this world, it's hard to find another person besides me who can discern so much information from another person's 'qi mechanism'!"
Luo Shu was immensely shocked and said, "Mr. Cheng, you are truly an extraordinary person!"
The two drank and chatted.
When he mentioned his adopted son Luo Haoyuan, Luo Shu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "If the former Star Lord were still alive, my son wouldn't have ended up like this!"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "I seem to have heard from other hosts that the new Star Lord is the wife of the former Star Lord. How did she manage to govern a planet like Yanhuang in this state?"
Luo Shu said, "Normally, the Star Lord's wife never appears in public. I don't know anything about her character."
"I only know that the policies she has implemented since ascending the throne are completely contrary to those of the former Star Lord!"
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did the former Star Lord have no children, that's why his wife ascended the throne?"
Luo Shu sighed, "It is said that the former Star Lord could not have children due to special circumstances."
Cheng Xiaofan then asked, "For what reason did the former Star Lord pass away?"
Luo Shu shook his head and said, "The matter of the Star Lord's death has always been a mystery. Although ten years have passed, some people privately suspect that the Star Lord was murdered!"
"Did no one investigate?" Cheng Xiaofan asked.
Luo Shu said, "How can it be investigated?"
"There must be evidence to investigate!"
Cheng Xiaofan, being extremely intelligent, immediately said, "Elder Luo, you mean that the death of the former Star Lord might be related to his wife?"
Luo Shu's expression became serious, and he immediately said, "Mr. Cheng, do not speak rashly before you have any evidence!"
"I had a friend named Jiang Tian back then. Shortly after the Star Lord passed away, he raised this question, and then inexplicably committed suicide."
Cheng Xiaofan was stunned to hear this.
Didn't Jiang Tian discover that Wu Zikun had long harbored rebellious intentions? And Wu Zikun, fearing that he would reveal the truth, poisoned him and killed him?
Hearing Luo Shu say this, the matter was not as simple as that!
Strange!
Why didn't I detect any related information from the 'qi mechanism' of Wu Zikun at that time?
Could it be that there was a master by the former Star Lord's side who erased the relevant information from Wu Zikun's 'qi mechanism'?
"Elder Luo, what are the names of the former Star Lord and his wife?" Cheng Xiaofan feigned overwhelming curiosity and asked.
He believed that an old minister like Luo Shu would definitely know their names.
