Blake's Blind Faith and Ethan's Unyielding Spirit Chapter 10

In order to facilitate taking the patient's pulse and conducting medical examinations, Ethan Bennett quickly moved to the wing room in Xiyuan, which was closer to the pharmacy.

Now Zhang Chengshan's doctors were furious. They had been here for many days but were seldom summoned. Only Zhang Chengshan had taken Blake Harrison's pulse a few times, but Blake Harrison did not believe him at all and did not use his intentions. Now he actually let Ethan Bennett, a young boy, accompany him to Xiyuan, which really pissed everyone off.

Because of Lucas Carter's matter, they were already filled with pent-up anger, and now they were even more resentful, so five or six of them got together and came to the West Garden, standing outside the Zhaixing Tower, demanding an explanation from the Jiang family.

Blake Harrison had just woken up in the morning and Ethan Bennett was taking his pulse in the hall. When he heard the servants report this, he couldn't help but frown.

Blake Harrison had just woken up and was still a little sleepy. He pressed his forehead and said impatiently, "Tell them that from now on, Ethan Bennett will be the main doctor, and the others will assist with acupuncture and medicine. If there is any effect, no one will be treated unfairly. If they continue to make noise, I will not be so easy to talk to."

The servants ran out quickly to pass on the message, and it was quiet outside for a moment, but soon the noise started again. This time, those people went even further, and they pushed open the two servants at the door and rushed in aggressively, looking as if they were out to accuse someone.

After they came in and saw Ethan Bennett, they were furious. Zhang Chengshan took the lead and said, "Boss Jiang, what are you talking about? No matter how poor we are, we are a century-old family and have some reputation in the Jiangnan area. You want us to be the partner of an unknown kid. Is this appropriate?"

Blake Harrison took his hand back and motioned Ethan Bennett to go aside. He took a cup of tea and said coldly without even raising his head, "Is there no one left in the Jiang family? Anyone can bark in front of me."

As soon as Blake Harrison finished speaking, the servant ran in with a group of armed guards. Without saying a word, they grabbed the six doctors and pushed them to the ground. For a moment, the sound of fear and angry curses echoed.

"Blake Harrison, you are neither a king nor an official, yet you live a life of luxury and yet you use such excessive guards! Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the government?"

The person who spoke was Wang Songming, who had played football with Lucas Carter that day. He was twenty-four or twenty-five years old, full of vigor and vitality. His father was a minor official in Jinling Road, and his family had connections in the capital. He had always been quite arrogant, and had accumulated a lot of anger since the incident with Lucas Carter. At this moment, he was pressed to the ground like a prisoner, and he was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head.

"You are not qualified to argue with me about this?" Blake Harrison sneered: "You don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. It seems that I have treated you too well these days. If you have any dissatisfaction, just pack up and leave. Are you coming here now to teach me how to do things?"

"Blake Harrison!" Wang Songming was so angry that he didn't listen to what Blake Harrison said. He just struggled and said, "You are the richest businessman in the world, so what? You are just a businessman, with no official position or title, and you are doing a low-class business, but you boss us doctors around. I am not your servant, dare you touch me?"

"What do I need your dirty fingers for?" Blake Harrison smiled instead of getting angry: "You are absolutely right. We have nothing to do with each other. If we are compatible, we will come together. If we are not compatible, we will go our separate ways. There is really no need to shout at the top of our lungs here."

Blake Harrison waved his finger and asked the servant: "What's his name?"

Immediately, an attendant responded fluently: "Wang Songming, he is a doctor at Jinling Fushengtang, and he studied under the famous Jiangnan doctor Jia Zhiqian. His father is the county magistrate of Liyang County."

"Oh." Blake Harrison nodded and said, "Lianyang is a good place. Since last year, a lot of tea and silk have come from there, right?"

"Yes. We have just set up a granary in Liyang. Hu Limin, the magistrate of Liyang County, came to deliver the door gift three times last month, but you didn't have time to see him. The gifts he sent are all piled up in the warehouse."

"Liyang County Magistrate..." Blake Harrison took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "We are all acquaintances, so it's easy to talk. Give Doctor Wang a hundred taels of silver and send him back to his hometown. By the way, tell Hu Songming to take good care of Doctor Wang's father."

Wang Songming's forehead was covered with sweat, his eyes were wide open, and he struggled to say, "Blake Harrison! What does this have to do with my father? You are abusing your power and taking revenge on others, and you are lawless! Do you think you are so powerful that no one can stop you? Even if I make trouble in the capital, I will not let you go!"

"Why bother?" Blake Harrison sighed and shook his hands: "Why are you so impulsive? It's as if there is some grudge. Take Doctor Wang to the lotus pond to calm down and send him back."

Wang Songming was dragged away by two tall and strong guards. Before leaving, he shouted to Zhang Chengshan: "Doctor Zhang! You brought us here, please say something!"

Zhang Chengshan secretly clenched his fist, assessed the situation, and said softly: "Boss Jiang, please don't get angry. He is just a kid in his early twenties, and he doesn't know much..."

"Doctor Zhang." Blake Harrison shook his head and said, "The descendant of Zhang Ji, the number one doctor in Fukangyuan, I had high hopes for you, but you only grow older and not smarter. You spend all day dragging people around, what are you doing? Do you think no one knows?"

Zhang Chengshan couldn't pretend anymore when he saw Blake Harrison didn't buy it, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Boss Jiang, you're joking. You said you had high hopes for me, but the first person you summoned for a consultation was that young boy. Later, you asked me to check your pulse every now and then, but it was just a formality. You never allowed me to diagnose or prescribe medicine. Now you trust this young boy who is not even twenty years old. Isn't this a slap in our face?"

Blake Harrison pressed his forehead and said disappointedly: "There are so many stupid people in this world. I told you long ago that there are Jiang family's eyes here. What is he doing and what are you doing? Do you really think I don't know?"

Zhang Chengshan's face was ugly, and he argued: "Boss Jiang, you are looking for someone to treat the disease, not to select the top scholar in the imperial examination. Is it okay to burn candlelight and read books every day? A good doctor is one who can cure diseases! Ask the people here, who is convinced by this kid? In terms of family background, reputation, medical theory and medical skills, he is the worst! What is so outstanding about him? The only good thing is that he looks good. Dare I ask, are you choosing a doctor or a male lover?!"

Blake Harrison was so angry that he laughed. He was too lazy to talk to him any more and suddenly asked, "How many shops does Fu Kangyuan have in Jiangnan?"

Zhang Chengshan was stunned, but the servant replied: "There are about 40 or so large ones."

"How many properties belong to the Jiang family?"

"This needs to be checked, but more than half of them are true."

"Okay." Blake Harrison put down the teacup: "All the Jiang family's shops will be taken back and converted into teahouses."

Fu Kangyuan is the largest medical clinic in Jiangnan. It enjoys a great reputation, has countless talents, and has the best shop locations. If Blake Harrison really takes back half of Fu Kangyuan's shops, it will undoubtedly cut off both legs of Fu Kangyuan, and more than ten years of development will be in vain.

Zhang Chengshan didn't expect Blake Harrison to be so brutal and unreasonable. He was so angry that his fingers trembled. He pointed at Blake Harrison and said, "You are so aggressive and make enemies everywhere. Don't you know that hurting others will hurt yourself? What good end can you have?"

"Doctor Zhang, you don't need to worry about this. Just think about how you are going to make a living in the future." Blake Harrison spread his hands and said leisurely: "The rest of you, do you want to resign on your own, or do you want me to ask you to leave one by one?"

The remaining four people looked nervous and uneasy. They all had some power and reputation, and they were not native to Yangzhou. They felt that Blake Harrison was out of reach and could not do anything to them, so they were angry and wanted to ask Blake Harrison for an explanation. They did not expect Blake Harrison to be so cruel and cause such a situation.

Among them was Gao Ming, who was a little older and not necessarily a great doctor, but a good talker. He saw that the situation was not good and immediately said respectfully: "Boss Jiang, we understand that we should be loyal to our master and we are grateful for your courtesy and generosity to us these days. But all of us are well-known and respected doctors in our hometowns. Xiao Pei may have some outstanding qualities, but he is too young after all. When we heard that he was the chief diagnoser, we were inevitably disappointed and surprised, which was rude and offensive. Now that I think about it carefully, Doctor Xiao Pei is indeed more diligent and careful, but he just lacks experience. We will definitely assist him and work together to cure Boss Jiang's eye disease."

Blake Harrison stroked the rim of the cup. Although he knew that this person was just following the trend, he was indeed a man who knew the current situation. So he nodded and said, "I'm glad you think so."

Xu Jianqing was also among them. He followed from beginning to end without making any noise or saying a word. Seeing that things were not going well, he immediately followed Gao Ming and said respectfully, "We are here to share Mr. Jiang's worries. We will definitely do our best to help and cure Mr. Jiang's eye disease."

The remaining two people saw this and rushed to express their determination, which made Zhang Chengshan, who was standing by, so angry that he cursed: "You are a bunch of opportunists!"

"Okay, everyone go down." Blake Harrison saw that the matter was over and was too lazy to watch them fighting each other, so he stood up from the armchair and was helped into the inner room by the servants.
