Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1491

It must be said that Mao Xiang's speculation was reasonable and well-founded, and it matched the speculations of Wei Wu and Zheng Shiye.

So after Mao Xiang finished speaking, Shen Lin also felt that this was probably the case.

However, recalling his impression of Zhang Hao, Shen Lin added a sentence.

"If Commander Mao's guess is correct, then Zhang Hao and the White Lotus Taoist have been in contact for several years."

“When they arrested him that day, Zhang Hai fought with him. Even after being shot, this guy was still able to outmaneuver Zhang Hai.”

"Based on my understanding of Zhang Hao, he didn't have such good skills before, and it's impossible for him to escape from Zhang Hai."

At this point, Shen Lin suddenly stopped, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Mao Xiang again, saying:

"As for the medicinal herbs that Zhang Hai found in Zhang Hao's house, Commander Mao also said that he didn't seem to understand pharmacology and medicine."

"But Zhang Hai took the medicinal herbs from his home back to the Imperial Hospital and asked about them. They were clearly handled by an experienced person, and very professionally."

"You have to understand that neither pharmacology and medical knowledge, nor his skills, are things that can be improved in a short period of time."

"No matter how talented a person is, it is absolutely impossible to improve this much without several years of hard work."

After Shen Lin finished speaking, Mao Xiang also felt that it made sense, so he immediately ordered someone to find several Imperial Guards.

These Imperial Guards all had a good relationship with Zhang Hao; they didn't ostracize him, but they weren't particularly close either.

Through questioning these Imperial Guards, Mao Xiang and Shen Lin finally confirmed what Shen Lin had said.

According to these members of the Imperial Guards, Zhang Hao had turned down all offers in recent years.

Although Zhang Hao was indeed ostracized by most people, it's like that saying goes...

Even the best people will have people who hate them, and even the worst people will have people who like them, so Zhang Hao isn't completely ignored.

However, over the past few years, Zhang Hao has declined invitations from everyone, whether it's for drinking or visiting brothels.

Every day, he was always the first to leave when it was time to go off duty, seemingly in a hurry, but no one knew why he was in such a rush.

In retrospect, he was probably rushing back to learn something, since the Ming Dynasty's welfare for officials was indeed not very good.

It's certain that, excluding the time spent at work, Zhang Hao doesn't have much time that he can actually control.

In this light, Zhang Hao's remarkable improvement in such a short time truly makes him a rare talent!

Thinking of Zhang Hao's situation, Shen Lin couldn't help but feel a little emotional. If only that guy had followed the young master back then.

However, just as Shen Lin was feeling sentimental, Mao Xiang suddenly spoke up.

“Brother Shen Lin, you just said that the imperial physicians at the Imperial Hospital have confirmed that the medicinal herbs Zhang Hai brought back were handled by a skilled person.”

Shen Lin nodded and said:

"That's right, that's exactly what the imperial physicians said!"

Upon hearing Shen Lin's words, Mao Xiang immediately frowned and then asked another question.

"So that means Zhang Hai is skilled in medicine, and quite skilled at it. Is it possible for him to treat his gunshot wounds himself?"

"Impossible! Gunshot wounds require surgery to remove the bullet. No matter how skilled he is, he wouldn't know how to do that... Wait, something's not right!"

As Shen Lin was replying, his expression suddenly changed, and then his face became much more serious.

"He probably does know, after all, he knows a lot about the Imperial Hospital, and he must have heard about how the young master was treated after being shot!"

"In order to capture him alive, I didn't aim the shot at the location of the carotid artery, but at his thigh muscle!"

Mao Xiang didn't know what a major artery was, but judging from Shen Lin's tone, it wasn't hard to guess that he was referring to a vital part.
