Yang Xianmao smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that the dignified prefect and the general judge had a dispute over me, and I was big enough." -- Is there any bad news? If so, tell me, I'm ready. ”

Seeing her sad appearance, Han Xue'e was also very sad for him, and said, "There is nothing else, my father came back and said that maybe the business of your hospital will be hit hard because of this." In the future, there will be very few patients who will dare to come to you for treatment. So let me tell you a word so that you can be prepared. ”

Yang Xianmao spread his hands and said, "What else can I prepare, if there are no patients coming to the door to open the pharmacy, then we can only wait for the day when the pharmacy closes." - Don't talk about that, thank you for telling me about this. ”

"Don't be sad, as long as the patient needs it, why care what other people say? As long as you practice medicine well and don't do anything that violates the royal law, even the prefect can't do anything to you. ”

Yang Xianmao nodded and said, "Yes, thank you for the relief you gave me, I am grateful." ”

"My father also said that the prefect is likely to have a momentary misunderstanding, but now he is angry, don't provoke him, so you should avoid the edge for the time being, and don't disembowel people during this time, lest he catch the handle and find a reason to punish you, it will be tricky. ”

Yang Xianmao nodded and said, "Remember, thank you." ”

Han Xue'e sighed, stood up and left.

There was no significant decrease in the number of patients on this day, but from the second day onwards, there were many fewer patients.

Yang Xianmao did not tell his father what Han Xue'e told him. So Yang Mingde felt a little confused about the sudden decrease in patients, and of course he vaguely guessed that it was because of the words of the prefect the night before.

By the third day, there were very few people who came to buy medicine and see a doctor.

When the door was about to close that evening, Zhang smiled bitterly and said to Yang Mingde privately that the medicine he bought that day had not yet reached 100 Wen, as if they had returned to their embarrassing situation before Yang Xianmao came back overnight.

After closing the door, the family was about to eat, when someone suddenly knocked on the door, Hongsheng'er hurriedly ran to open the small door, and Tie Dan came in.

He couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Hongsheng'er, turned his head and asked Yang Xianmao: "...... this girl is?"

"It's my maid, called Hongshang'er. Didn't you come here to eat at this time?" Yang Xianmao deliberately teased lightly.

"What do you say, I want you to talk about a little thing. Come to your house and say go!"

Tie Dan pulled Yang Xianmao into the house, and said excitedly: "Wow, where did you find such a beautiful maid? ”

"Don't talk about that, get down to business, you came to me at this time, is there anything important?"

Tie Dan said: "Is it the matter that you want to autopsy? County Lieutenant Zhong has already explained, saying that once there is a corpse that no one claims, it will be handed over to you for autopsy." A few days ago, Lieutenant Zhong led the army to encircle and suppress the bandits, killing several of them, a total of seven or eight corpses, all of which were placed in the mortuary of the Yamen. ”

Yang Xianmao suddenly thought of the Wei Governor's Mansion who was suppressing him, if he let him know about his autopsy, he didn't know what kind of moth would be born in his heart, although the court did not explicitly oppose Lang Zhong's autopsy of the corpse, but the human mouth has two skins, he is now a parent official, he has the final say, he said that he will not let the autopsy, then there is no way, so this matter is still as good as possible not to let him know.

So Yang Xianmao hurriedly said to Tie Dan: "It's better not to dissect in the yamen, or transport it to the mass grave, and you will bury or burn it immediately after I dissect." In addition, you tell Lieutenant Zhong not to tell me about my autopsy, and not to tell others. ”

Tie Dan was stunned for a moment and said: "I heard that the apprentices of the prefect's medical bureau are all over the city saying that whoever asks you to disembowel and cure your illness is a big unfilial piety. And said that you pretended to be a ghost, but in fact, there was no disemboweling technique at all, saying that this was said by the prefect, so that everyone should not come to you again in the future. I thought it was a little strange to hear it, and I was about to ask you today, are they telling the truth?"

Yang Xianmao smiled bitterly: "I won't hide it from you two brothers, indeed, the new prefect seems to be deliberately targeting me, alarmist, saying that I am trying to rebel, and I am simply forcing us to death, so my father no longer let me disembowel people for treatment." The autopsy of the unclaimed corpse was also kept as close as possible to the prefect, so I asked you to transport the corpse to the mass grave, where I performed the autopsy. It's in the middle of nowhere, and there are not many people going there. ”

Tie Dan said: "Now that I understand, don't worry, I will handle this matter properly for you." ”

Sent away the iron egg, Yang Xianmao had an idea in his heart, since he couldn't disembowel and disembowel, and no one came to see him, then he could spend more time reading books and dissecting corpses to improve his surgical level.

Early the next morning, he went out to the mass grave to dissect the corpse. He went alone, without bringing red clothes, and he didn't call Ruan Caiyun and them. He continued to dissect the cadaver and practice the surgical maneuver until the evening, and then returned to the pharmacy.

When he returned to the pharmacy, he saw his mother Zhang sitting on a stool wiping her tears, and his father was sitting behind the long case in a daze with his hands behind his back with a gloomy face. Hongsheng'er accompanied Zhang's side and also accompanied her to shed tears.

Yang Xianmao couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly went up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang wiped his tears, sighed, pointed to a few young people dangling outside the door and said: "See, that's the apprentices of the Fuya Medical Bureau, they all stay outside the pharmacy all day, as long as someone comes to our pharmacy to see a doctor and buy medicine, before they enter the door, they will be pulled aside and muttering those words to inform the government, and then they will scare away the people who buy medicine and see a doctor, so today, no one came to buy medicine and see a doctor." ”

When Yang Xianmao heard this, the fire was rising, and he wanted to rush out to teach those people a lesson, but he quickly suppressed the anger in his heart, now he must not be impulsive, if he beats these students, he is afraid that he will give the other party the truth, at that time, the government will have an excuse to deal with him, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Yang Xianmao looked at his father and said, "It's all my fault, otherwise, I'd better leave Xuanzhou and go somewhere else, maybe it will be better." ”

Yang Mingde shook his head and said: "That's not good, since you came back from Taiyuan, relying on your medical skills, our pharmacy has gradually embarked on the right path, and the number of people who come to our pharmacy for treatment and medicine is increasing day by day, you have to leave, even if they don't come to make trouble, I can't support this pharmacy with my medical skills." So if you don't leave, the pharmacy will collapse. ”

"So what now?"

Yang Mingde sighed and said, "Let's wait and see, maybe the prefect just misunderstood for a while, or he won't embarrass us anymore after he has more things." ”

Yang Xianmao, there is no better way, he can only wait first, fortunately, he has made a lot of money from practicing medicine before, and his family still has some savings, so he doesn't have to worry about life.

In the following days, Yang Xianmao went out to dissect the corpse every day and returned in the evening. When I came back, I got the same news that the apprentices of the medical bureau had been waiting at the door in turn, persuading all the patients who had come to seek medical advice, so the business had not even opened.

In this way, after half a month, the Rejuvenation Hall Pharmacy has not opened, and no one has come to Yang Xianmao for surgery or painless tooth extraction or anything. The family was sad, but there was nothing they could do.

Yang Xianmao once thought about whether to go to the capital to find that Lu Duan to talk about the situation, but he quickly dispelled this idea, because that Lord Lu might not be able to suppress this Wei prefect, and if he didn't do it, it would be self-defeating.

………………

On this morning, the newly arrived prefect Wei Wende was reading official documents in his signature room.

Just as Hu Tongju said on the day he first arrived, the heavy rain for several days caused serious floods, especially in the mountainous areas, and the floods washed away a lot of fertile land, which can be seen from the gradual increase in the number of victims and beggars in Xuanzhou City. Official reports have begun to report that people have died of starvation.

When he first received such an official document, the Wei prefect still felt a little alarmist, maybe the local parents wanted the court to relieve the lies, but several local official documents have appeared in this extreme matter, which made Wei Wende have to be vigilant, because the Great Song Emperor asked him to come to Xuanzhou to explain his two important missions, one is to investigate whether the local officials are enough to stay in office, to put forward his opinions, and the other is to find a way to stabilize the law and order of the party and promote the favor of the Great Song Emperor. Now, if we ignore the starvation of people and let it develop, we are afraid that it will provoke a popular uprising.

Therefore, after receiving such official documents in succession, Wei Wende immediately decided to urgently report to the imperial court and ask the emperor to issue an order to open a warehouse and release grain. At this time, food is much more effective than the army, send the army to the people on the surface dare not resist, but the heart is not convinced, once a little spark is like wildfire quickly spread across the north and south of the river, then then it is necessary to spend great efforts to extinguish, it is better to send some food when the people need relief, at least to help those who are already on the verge of starvation to tide over the difficulties, so that these people will not take risks.

Wei Wende is still quite literate, his official way is to rely on his own slow struggle, but all the important notes are filled in by himself, and he does not need the help of his staff, because he feels that he can keep revising his ideas in the process of writing, and at the same time, he is more able to show the things in his heart through words as much as possible, which is much better than his verbal advice to his staff to ghostwrite.

Wei Wende wrote the memora and instructed the attendants to hand it over to the post station and send it to the capital urgently with 400 miles.
