Chapter 164: Midnight Terror
When Shopkeeper Zhu heard this, his fat meat couldn't help shaking, he was really an iron rooster who couldn't pull out a hair, if he took out five taels of silver for an idea, it would really hurt. Tentatively, he said, "Is this really working?"
"Of course it works, I'll help you, and I'll ask him to take the initiative to check out and leave within three days. If not, you come to me!" Sun Dalang said.
Shopkeeper Zhu nodded in surprise and said, "Okay." So he asked his wife to take five taels of silver from the counter and give it to Sun Dalang.
Sun Dalang threw the silver ingot in his hand and said: "I know a buddy on the road, there are a few brothers under him, this buddy is nicknamed Macaque, he was originally a gentleman on the beam, squatted in prison, and now he doesn't wash his hands, mainly to give people printing money, but also to do something else, such as helping people to ask for debts, collecting rent, dare to do anything, and recognize money and not people." As long as he is given money, he will dare to do it even if he is his own father. ”
Shopkeeper Zhu was so frightened that he shuddered and said, "I just want him to move out so that I can rent his house to expand my business, but I don't want his life." ”
"That's what I'm saying, who wants his life! So, I'll go and tell him, let him think of a way to help you get rid of the Yang family's people, won't the house be returned? Anyway, only we know about this matter, and the Yang family doesn't know, and my mother doesn't know, and no one can find your head. It's called spending money to do things, and it's worry-free and effort-saving, how about it?"
Shopkeeper Zhu hesitated for a moment and said, "Does he really have a way? ”
Sun Dalang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will vouch for him, if he takes the money and doesn't do anything, you can just look for me." ”
Shopkeeper Zhu nodded and said, "Then, how much does he need to do this?"
Sun Dalang glanced at him, thought for a while and said, "This matter is not a big deal, it won't be a sky-high price, and it is usually only twenty taels of silver." ”
Shopkeeper Zhu's chubby face twitched twice, and two words popped out from between his teeth: "Twenty taels of silver, so much?"
Sun Dalang's face was full of displeasure: "This is more, a group of brothers under your command are all together to help you do this, and it is not enough to drink a cup of tea in the hands of a person." This money is the least, and I still help him get ideas for the sake of our old acquaintances. If you talk to him personally, and you don't have thirty or forty taels, you won't be able to get down. Of course, if you think I'm troublesome, you can do it yourself, and in that case, I'll just talk nonsense, and I'll go. ”
Sun Dalang stood up and patted his ass and was about to walk out. Shopkeeper Zhu hurriedly stopped him. He is okay with business, and if he wants to do this kind of thing to drive people out, he really hasn't recruited it, and he has to find someone to do it. So, gritting his teeth, he was reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, and said, "Okay, twenty taels, just twenty taels." He motioned for Mrs. Jean to bring the silver to Sun Dalang, and told him that he must drive the people of the Yang family away within three days.
Sun Dalang checked the ingot of silver, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I told you, they are all people on the road, righteousness comes first, take people's money, and eliminate disasters with people, there is nothing to say, you just wait to see them get out." ”
………………
On this morning, Han Xue'e from the Han Medical Center took his brother Han Hu to Yang Xianmao's Rejuvenation Hall.
After a few words of greeting, Han Xue'e went straight to the point: "Lord Hu, the chief bookkeeper of Pinghu County, is seriously ill, and the local Langzhong is helpless, so he sent someone to invite my father to see it." It just so happened that my father had also fallen ill in the past two days, and he couldn't go to the doctor, so he let me go. After I asked about my condition, I would like to ask you to come to the doctor with me, but I wonder what you think?"
Yang Xianmao said: "From Pinghu County to Xuanzhou, it takes at least four days to travel. Why don't you send the patient directly to Xuancheng to see a doctor?"
"Because this Hu Zhushu is busy with disaster relief, Pinghu County has encountered a flood disaster that is rare in a century during this time, most of the county's fertile land has been washed away, the people have been displaced, and the imperial court has allocated disaster relief grain, of which the main place for relief is Pinghu County. And Master Hu is in charge of disaster relief, so he is too busy to leave. But his illness was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't bear it, and he saw several of them, but they didn't work, so he came to ask us to go for treatment. ”
Yang Xianmao nodded frequently: "It turned out to be a good official who loves the people like a son." ”
"Yes, this Master Hu is deeply loved by the people in Pinghu County. It is precisely because he is a clean official that he can't take out much silver to make a consultation. I hope you can see that for the sake of his hard work for the people, you will work hard and come with me for a consultation. His illness may require surgery. ”
Yang Xianmao said: "It is natural to cure diseases and save people, and you can't get into the eyes of money." Although I am very short of money now, a gentleman loves money in a good way, and he will pay money to a clean official who loves the people like a son, and he will also rule for him, which is also for the well-being of the people. ”
Yang Xianmao nodded happily: "Great, the son is high-spirited and bright, which is admirable." Since this is the case, let's go, illness waits for no one. ”
Yang Xianmao discussed this matter with his father and mother, and of course the two agreed, letting Yang Xianmao go to treat the Qing official who was busy with disaster relief and relief for the people, and let Hongsheng'er follow to take good care of the young master. Of course, Hongsheng'er was very happy to be able to visit the young master.
When Wen Xin heard this, she said to Yang Xianmao, "Can you take me with you?" I want to go out for a walk, and it's boring to stay in the house for a long time. ”
How could Yang Xianmao have a reason to refuse. Thinking that this flower girl has been bored at home, it is indeed abrupt to the beauty, and nodded in agreement.
Because it was the Han Medical Center that invited Yang Xianmao to coordinate the consultation, the transportation was of course provided by the Han Medical Center. The Yang family wanted to go for three people, so they sent out the largest luxury carriage in the hospital, which could seat three people.
Behind the carriage were two of Yang Xianmao's treasure boxes, containing his usual surgical instruments and necessary medicines such as hemp boiling. Yang Xianmao had already asked Han Xue'e, and the main illness of that Hu Zhushu was stomach pain, and it was a continuous pain, and there was rebound pain and tenderness.
If this acute abdomen is not good, it is necessary to have a laparotomy to find out the cause and then surgically treat. Therefore, the equipment he brought was also correspondingly targeted. In order to meet the needs of night surgery, he also brought special lighting equipment to the craftsmen of Wuyue Palace who went to Yaqueling this time. If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, in case Master Hu needs an emergency operation in the middle of the night, this set of equipment can come in handy.
………………
After sending Yang Xianmao away, Yang Mingde and his wife felt that the house was empty.
Fortunately, patients came in an endless stream to buy medicine and see a doctor, so Yang Mingde and his wife Zhang were busy until the evening, when the number of patients who came to seek medical advice gradually decreased, and the two were relieved.
After dark, Zhang cooked, and the two closed the door of the pharmacy and sat down at the table to eat.
Zhang Shi held the bowl and said, "Oh! Xianmao is not there, and they always feel as if the house is a lot empty, and they are not popular, and they are not in the mood to eat." ”
Yang Mingde smiled and said: "You think too much, the child didn't come back before, we are not two people, just after so many years, I haven't seen you say that the house is empty and unpopular!"
Zhang smiled and said, "That's right." Let's eat!"
Although Zhang Mingde comforted his wife, she also felt that the child was not around, and she was a little uncomfortable, so the two of them finished the meal silently. Zhang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Yang Mingde held a book and sat under the lamp to read it.
Even when it's dark, people still come to the pharmacy from time to time to buy medicine and see a doctor. It was busy until late at night, and no patients came to see the doctor to buy medicine, so I closed the door and went back to my room to rest.
Sleeping until midnight, suddenly, Zhang felt something floating on her face, she subconsciously woke up from her sleep, through the faint moonlight through the window, suddenly saw a white figure hanging on the beam, a foot of white cloth hanging on the beam, tongue sticking out, floating in the air, eyes staring at her.
Zhang screamed in fright and quickly hid in the quilt. Yang Mingde, who was sleeping next to him, was awakened by this scream, and when he opened his eyes, he also saw the white corpse hanging on the beam, and suddenly screamed in fright, rolled out of bed with a bone, holding his head with both hands and trembling.
Hearing her husband's screams, Zhang's heart was worried about hiding in the quilt, but she had more courage, and immediately lifted the quilt to look at her husband under the bed, and found that her husband was kneeling on the ground holding his head and kept screaming, and turned his head to look at the beam, but this time, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the body hanging on the beam was gone, leaving only the black roof.
Zhang hurriedly tugged at her husband's clothes and said, "Official, don't be afraid, the hanged ghost is gone." ”
After screaming a few times, Yang Mingde heard it clearly, and boldly turned his head to look at the beam, and sure enough, he couldn't see the hanged ghost again, so he quickly got up, shivered and lit the lamp, held the lantern and checked it carefully, and there was no one in the room.
He checked the windows and doors again with the lamp, and they were all intact.
The two sat on the edge of the bed in horror, looking at each other, and Yang Mingde asked Zhang, "You also saw it?"
Zhang's face turned pale, his lips trembled, he nodded, looked at the beam hanging from the corpse in horror, and said: "I always feel that something is touching my face, and when I woke up, I saw someone hanging there, which scared me enough." Official, did you see that too?"
Yang Mingde nodded and said, "How can we be haunted in the house? ”
"Maybe it's not haunted, it's the moonlight coming in, and we're both dazzled, right?" Zhang desperately wanted to find an excuse to put both of them at ease, and felt that this excuse was still reasonable, so he pointed to the moonlight spilled on the ground through the window, and said: "Maybe we both have nightmares, when we treat this moonlight as a hanged ghost, don't worry." ”
Yang Mingde looked at the moonlight on the ground, and then looked at the bright and swaying window, then nodded and said: "That's right, people are not afraid of shadows, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door, I, Yang, have done right in my life, walked properly, treated people in a dignified manner, and did things that accumulate virtue and do good, how could evil ghosts come to me? ”
So the two looked at each other again, and got composure from each other's eyes, and then blew out the lights again and lay down on the bed.
It's just that after this toss, where do the two of them still have any sleepiness, they are all waiting to look at the dark roof.
