Chapter 192: Obedience and Fit
The owner of the pharmacy was a middle-aged man in his thirties, and when he saw the boy, he immediately shouted: "Erniu, your mother is sick again...... presumably quite familiar with this little boy."
He took a closer look and couldn't help but lose his voice and said: "Erniu, what's wrong with you, how did you make it look like this, let the uncle take a look..."
The little boy stood still, but turned to look at Gu Zhirong who was following behind him.
When the owner of the pharmacy saw Gu Zhirong, who looked like a rich lady in brocade clothes who followed off the carriage, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and glanced at Erniu and then at Gu Zhirong with some blankness.
Gu Zhirong didn't explain too much to him, and quickly entered the pharmacy, took a pen and paper, wrote a prescription, and listed all the medicinal materials needed. Then he said to the owner of the pharmacy: "This child was burned, fortunately the injury is not too serious, I have done a simple treatment, you just follow my prescription, grab the medicinal herbs, grind them into powder, and then apply them to this child, and it will be fine soon." ”
The owner of the pharmacy took the prescription and looked at it, and knew that he had met an insider, so his expression and tone immediately became respectful, and he turned around and ordered the guys in the store to make medicine.
Gu Zhirong asked Lu Shui to pay for the medicine, took some broken silver, handed it to the little boy, and said softly: "Is your mother sick? Remember?"
The little boy's big eyes were filled with tears, and he nodded vigorously.
When it was back in the carriage. Lu Shui finally couldn't help but say: "The governance here is indeed too chaotic and chaotic, isn't there anyone who cares?"
Gu Zhirong said lightly: "The sky is high, and the emperor is far away." Who cares?"
Lu Shui thought for a while, but still said unwillingly: "Isn't there a report?"
In the Jokhang Kingdom, the official system is still quite perfect. Although one county order monopolized the power, there was still a separate supervision department, a bit like the modern Independent Commission Against Corruption, with a special channel that could directly report to the imperial court. Listen to the heavens.
The Supervisory Department was under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, and its candidates were selected from among the well-known local scholars and Confucians. These people are the people of the society, and they do not interact with the government, and they do not collude with the government, so. What they have done. It is still able to represent the will of the people.
But now, in this Qingping County, the Supervision Department seems to have been abolished, and it cannot play the slightest role.
This is also what Gu Zhirong finds strange.
Lu Shui guessed to himself: "Maybe the emperor has been in poor health, so let other important members of the court read the chapter on his behalf, right?"
Gu Zhirong shook his head. The establishment of the Supervision Department is an ancestral system, which was set up by the first emperor, and it is designated to be read by the reigning emperor himself, and no one else is allowed to participate. And. Although the reigning emperor was frail and sickly, he was also a diligent emperor. So far, there have been no rumors of any important members of the imperial court reviewing the recitals of the Supervisory Secretary on their behalf.
Therefore, the possibility of letting other important members of the court review it on behalf of others does not exist.
Lu Shui suddenly remembered something: "When the emperor was not in good health, didn't the prince take over the country?
Gu Zhirong said: "If the emperor has already approved it, is it possible that the prince will have to read it again?"
Green Water Flat Mouth: "That's right." ”
A thought flashed through Gu Zhirong's heart. She knew that now in the palace, the emperor's favorite concubine was Cen Guifei, so it was possible for Cen Guifei to enter and leave the Heart Nourishing Palace freely. What if Concubine Cen took advantage of the emperor's sleep to review the chapter on her behalf?
Gu Zhirong couldn't help but tighten. This Cen Guifei seems to have done some things that have harmed the country and the people since she entered the palace, what is the purpose of her brainless and blind misdeeds? Then why is the emperor so tolerant of her behavior?
As soon as the carriage drove about a hundred meters away from the pharmacy, the young master sent someone to inquire, and it turned out that the matter on the young master's side had been dealt with.
Lu Shui wanted to know how the young master dealt with those things, and opened his mouth to ask, but when he saw Gu Zhirong's gaze, he had no choice but to keep silent.
Gu Zhirong said: "The young master's side has finished the matter so quickly? That's right, my side just settled the little boy." You went back to the young master, and we'll go over now. ”
The man answered, turned and walked away.
Lu Shui couldn't help but say, "Miss, why didn't you let the slave ask?"
Gu Zhirong said helplessly: "It's better to see than to hear, you ask him, he answered, but do you believe it?
Green water suddenly realized.
When he was about to arrive at the county office, Lu Shui asked the coachman to slow down the car, and he couldn't wait to lean out half of his body to take a look.
This change really startled her, and she couldn't believe her eyes.
At this time, the yamen was almost like a different place from what they had seen before, and the large iron pot and the burning firewood that had been placed in front of the county yamen had all been removed, and they were replaced by bags of rice that were neatly placed next to each other.
Those officials who were still above the top and arrogant before, looked at the victims at this time as if they were looking at their own biological parents, accompanied by smiling faces, and whispered softly:
"This lady, don't worry, everyone has a share, slow down, slow down......"
"This old uncle, you are so old, why are you still coming out, what about the son of the family, let them come, I have rice here, don't worry, keep it for you......"
“…… Oh no, no, it's a little doll, you can't run around like that, you can bring the bag over, and your uncle will fill it for you, it's ......."
Green Water's eyes widened, if she hadn't seen those officials wearing soap-colored uniforms issued by the imperial court, she really had to wonder if these people were impersonating......
"Don't look at it. Gu Zhi couldn't help laughing, and dragged the green water back to the car, still praising it in his heart.
I really didn't expect the young master of Baojian Hall to be so good at using such a good means to govern the officials of Qingping County so quickly.
The young master was already waiting at the intersection. At this time, the young master was riding a majestic high-headed horse, Gu Zhirong saw it and knew that it was a good horse, and she couldn't help but think of the horse given by the prince of the racecourse that day.
Alas, what a pity, if I had promised to come down that day, wouldn't there be a good horse to ride next year?
It's all to blame for my own self-esteem......
The young master was still followed by Qin Lu, but at this time, Qin Lu had a lot less hostility in his eyes, and occasionally glanced at Gu Zhirong inquiringly, although he was extremely reluctant, he still showed a trace of admiration and fear.
Seeing Gu Zhirong staring intently at the big horse he was riding, how could the young master not understand her thoughts, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Want to ride this horse?"
Gu Zhirong nodded quickly.
The young master frowned, pretending to be worried: "Do you know how to ride?" There was a smile in his eyes that couldn't be hidden, obviously narrow.
Gu Zhirong jumped out of the carriage in a negative mood, stood in front of him, pointed at him and said, "You, come down." ”
"Okay, I'll let you ride it. The young master jumped out of the carriage with a vigorous posture and handed the reins to Gu Zhirong's hand, "Be careful, don't fall." ”
"You're really underestimating me. Gu Zhirong raised his eyebrows and said confidently, "Look at it." ”
She flew on the horse with the same vigor, and her movements were clean and neat, and she did it in one go.
The green water on the side couldn't help but widen his eyes. Seriously, she had never seen her young lady so heroic. There is a heifer in the house, called Little Pink, but that horse really can't be called a "horse" compared to these horses.
Qin Lu was also deeply shaken. He was thinking, what else would this Miss Gu Wu do?
And in the young master's gaze, it was calm and waveless. As if he had known that Gu Zhirong could ride a horse, as if he had known that she would ride very well. (To be continued......)
