140 Chapter 139
Chen Hua left in Yanfu's car early in the morning. Su Hui warmed up and slept until dawn, without even dreaming, and felt alive again after waking up.
She washed up and ate some pastries casually, and her whole body was comfortable, but she was destined to be late.
Sheng Yunyi didn't have to go to court for a long time, but she had already set a time to go to the Tai Hospital to inspect it, so that the doctors who were on duty the night before didn't have to come back from home. She was now sitting in the carriage, staring at the lotus water dripping down, panicking.
Originally, I planned to teach the two imperial doctors who were making things difficult for her in the barracks in front of everyone, and then re-enforce the majesty of the court's judgment, and take advantage of the bells and drums at noon to re-establish the three emperors' incense in Jinghui Palace, but now they are all in chaos. Even the envoy of the Zhang Academy, who has not moved for a hundred years, has given her face to shake out of the house, and she is a junior who is late, what does she look like!
So he turned to Sheng Yunyi without tears and shook him: "Why don't you call me!" I can't let you go with me to the government office! ”
Sheng Yunyi held her hair, "Don't move, it's scattered again." Seeing that you rarely sleep so deeply, I am reluctant to call you up. In fact, he called twice, but she didn't respond at all, unlike usual, she could immediately shrink into the quilt.
He smiled, holding a small jade comb between his lips, and the snow orchid hairpin in his hand was inserted. In the thick bun, you can't see through the thoughts under your eyes. He was so serious and quiet, she couldn't help but lean her head forward, two thin hairs like cicada wings hanging down her cheeks, and obediently let him take care of it.
"Isn't it just two medical officers who are going to be removed?" His fingers brushed her eyes, "The imperial doctor dares to commit a crime, if you want to be punished in public, the rank judged by the left court is enough, but there is still some time to go in terms of seniority and prestige." I asked the envoy to inform him and ask him to do the work for the elderly, and when you arrived at the official office, you would continue to deal with other affairs. ”
Originally, it was discussed that he should not care, but it was still not done. Su warmed his head heavily, hugging his neck a little disappointed, "You're right, but then there is no sense of accomplishment in watching them being dragged down." ”
He said, "Doctor Su, there is a saying that doctors are benevolent." ”
"I don't want to tell those truths to this kind of person," she wrenched her hand and counted, "Incense, inventory, promotion, and reading all the official cases above the fifth grade, it is estimated that I will have to go back to the official house tonight." Yes, I haven't been in the official house for half a year, and the money for renting a house is still in arrears......" Su Huihui was very painful when he thought of having so many things to do.
"The rent of the official house is one or two per month, Doctor Su gives me this price, choose any place in the Agarwood Hall and Yongning Palace, including food, lodging, soap, laundry and quilting," he lowered his voice, "The sheets are especially clean." ”
Su Huihui saw that the more he talked, the more unspeakable he became, he lifted the curtain to look at the vermilion gate of Miyagi, and quickly changed the topic:
"It's almost there, I'm under the thousand-step corridor. If you don't come back at night, you're left alone. ”
As soon as the car stopped, she couldn't wait to pedal on the ground, and a bunch of keys were thrown out of the curtain, and she took it and left, identifying a few keys as she went. Among them, there are two official houses, and Sheng Yunyi has thought it through.
The long-lost plaque of the Tai Hospital appeared in sight, she pinched the hard key, stepped into the threshold with platform boots, and the two of them were pushed out by the soldiers guarding the civil office.
Su Huihui stood sideways on the side of the aisle, coldly watching the imperial doctors being driven out of the hospital with unwillingness, and said goodbye to the soldiers.
In the courtyard, all the medical officers in Beijing stood neatly at the foot of the steps, and Zhang Songnian, who had a childish face, twisted his beard, and his voice was like a bell:
"Now that Master Su has arrived, the old man will not stay long. At present, the right court judges that the position is vacant, and the old man is powerless, and the instructions of the duty office are all judged by the left court, and then decided, you don't want to be like those two fools, and lose the future of your own family of 100 people. ”
The envoy gave Su Huihui a look, she quietly straightened her dress again, feeling that nothing was wrong, and then slowly walked to the platform in front of the main house and spoke under pressure.
Su Huihui never mentioned the two of them, and after talking for about a moment, he secretly observed the expressions of the group of people below, and thought that they did not have their left ears in and out of their right ears. Zhang Yuan did what she said, and after she arrived, she leisurely entered the house to look at the copy, without interfering from the side.
She led the team to the Jinghui Hall in the north, burned the incense stick and inserted it in the incense ashes without a smile, and seemingly randomly picked a medical officer and asked him to recite the laws of the Tai Hospital. The Han Imperial Doctor Yu's endorsement is very good, and kneeling in front of Fu Xi is almost dissecting his heart as evidence, and he wants to restore medical ethics to heaven. Everyone is deaf and clear, knowing that this may be to promote people, Yu Shouzhong is in his early thirties, and he has been sentenced by the hospital for walking in the south, and his family is not sure how to be proud. The imperial doctor is divided into three ranks, and he is at best a young and low-grade medical officer, and he is about to soar to prominence, causing others to be jealous in private.
Su Huihui knew that routine was very boring, so he ended the sacrifice in the shortest time and prepared to count the treasury. The treasury is generally guarded by officials in turn, and the security in the Changping Gate is very good, so the doctors on duty usually can't help but be lax and only keep track of the income and expenditure of medicinal materials. That's what she wants to check.,When she first came to the hospital, these things were done by Si Yan.,There was little contact.,Now the right court sentence is dead.,Most of the things need to be new.。 If the medicinal herbs weighed out are almost as easy as those recorded in the accounts, the disparity is huge, and the guards should be questioned and severely punished.
She put the officials aside, and led a few old imperial doctors to check the valuable medicinal herbs one by one. The three chests of drawers in the deepest part of the treasury were extremely important, and she asked a trusted medical officer to help check whether there were damp or insects, and the slightest amount of weight had to be weighed out.
This warehouse is in full swing, and an hour and a half have passed in the blink of an eye. She thought that the old imperial doctor had inconvenient legs and feet, so she stopped a stick of incense in the middle, asked everyone to drink saliva, and took the key to the duty office in the south hall.
The door was open, it was clean, and there wasn't even a trace of dust on the desk. Only the envoy still has a key here, Su Huihui didn't have time to go back to the house at noon, and went directly into the courtyard to lecture, although Lord Zhang was old, he was as careful as a hair, and he made all the tea for her, and it was still warm.
She was a little moved, and she was determined not to go out of the official office if she didn't finish it today.
The sun is sinking in the west, and the warehouse is halfway over. The medicine depot was afraid of water, and the medical officers could only drink tea outside the door, and Su Hui was able to save money, and he glanced at more than a dozen medicine grids in one go, and his eyes finally began to be astringent. Through the amniotic gloves, you can't use the skin to perceive the properties of each medicinal material, touch them one by one, then wash and dry the palms, and repeat dozens of times to dry your hands.
She didn't want to put it off until tomorrow, there were still many things to do tomorrow, and she had to solve it if she didn't sleep tonight, but she was accompanied by her hard-working subordinates.
Officials from the civil service office on the east side of the thousand-step corridor have been off work one after another, and in the end, only the Tai Hospital is brightly lit. After the end of the day, the old imperial doctor was sent back to the house to rest, and the young man continued to move. Su Huihui put down the work in his hand and walked through the tall cabinets in turn, estimating in his heart that he should be able to finish counting before the time.
It was dark in the storeroom, and the smell of lighting the lamp would make it hot, so she took a white lantern with a small opening, faintly reflecting the tables and chairs around her. She also felt that it was not ordinary gloomy, but if it was changed to red, she would not be able to see the color of the herbs in her hand clearly.
"Lord Su."
There was a call from there, and she walked over with a lantern, and it was Ling Yang who pulled the drawer with her sleeves rolled.
Imperial Doctor Ling said embarrassedly, "It's rude...... However, when adults look at this, it seems that there is a difference from what is recorded in the booklet. ”
Su Huihui leaned closer and looked carefully with extremely critical eyes, and the shriveled flowers and leaves under the light floated a layer of light purple, which seemed to her to be a world of difference. She checked the roster, and opened a few adjacent grids, her eyebrows slightly locked.
The medicine cabinet is full of rare treasures that cannot be bought on the market, both raw and cooked, and it is even more difficult to find a lot of money in this grid. What is written on the booklet and on the counter is the sea cinnabar from the south of Qi country, which is a two-inch-long seaweed, and when it is fished out of the water, it becomes vermilion, and the color gradually fades after drying, and the medicinal properties are cold. But the one in her hand is definitely not the main one, and it does look very similar, but the layer of lilac is clearly another kind of hay, although it is also produced in the sea, the effect is far from the same.
There is no record that someone has used such a precious medicine, and if someone moved this cabinet on business before she left Beijing, she and Si Yan would know about it, then it would be after going south? Or do you avoid the judgment of the right court and steal it privately? All the sea cinnabar in the lattice is gone, and it is too eye-catching to say that it was stolen by a doctor to resell.
Su Huihui asked Ling Yang to help hold the lamp, and turned over the lattice on that side, ruling out the possibility of misplacement.
"I guess I was replaced. Imperial Doctor Ling, you go and call all the officials who have been on duty in the medicine store, this is not a small matter. ”
She took a deep breath and couldn't sleep tonight.
Ling Yang rubbed his eyes and proposed, "Your Excellency might as well finish checking all of this, it's still half an hour away." If you suspect that the people in the department are guarding and stealing, it is not a good idea to find a reason to gather people in the courtyard tomorrow. ”
Su Hui felt reasonable, the left and right medicinal materials had been lost, and he might not be able to find them back this night, so he finished the huge warehouse first.
She was so distracted that her fingertips were accidentally cut open by a wooden strip, so she had to stop and sit by to watch them busy.
Everyone was tired, but they had to be extremely meticulous and didn't stop until the end of the day.
The June night was humid and muggy, but the medicine warehouse was cool and pleasant, Su Hui locked the door and came out, preoccupied. In the entire medicine storehouse, only the sea cinnabar was lost, and she always had a hunch that this was not the medical officer's sideways, firstly, the medicinal materials replaced were not ordinary, and secondly, stealing two or three plants was enough for a hundred taels of silver, and she could not sell them at a good price if there were too many goods.
There was not a single star of the original herbal powder in the medicine cabinet, and the means were extremely clean.
She returned to the official residence in the hazy moonlight, and the maid left the palace in the afternoon, made the bed in the room, and boiled the hot water for bathing. The scars and abrasions on her hands were so painful that she waited until the water was a little warmer before she dared to enter the tub, and slowly washed it, her fingers almost numb.
Ruixiang chattered and anointed her, she collapsed on the bed and felt sorry for her hands, since she studied medicine, her nails have not been stained, and the big and small injuries are complete. Fortunately, no one wants it...... She closed her eyes and curled the corners of her mouth.
The next day, I set off early from the official residence and met Ling Yang.
"Have you paid six months' rent? At the beginning of the year, it began to rise to two taels, although we, the imperial doctors, could afford it, and the eight next door were. The petty officials of Jiupin chattered every night, and their ears were calloused. ”
The rent of the official house is paid at the beginning of the first month of each year, and it has doubled from twelve taels to one another, which is not a small amount. Su Huihui paid from August to Layue last year, and before going to Nan'an with Yan Xugui, he forgot about this matter at all, and the rent was empty for half a year. She is not in the capital, but these two rooms are still her place, and the money still has to be paid, which is very unsympathetic.
"Not yet, I'm going to make up the money in these two days. There's someone from the hospital next door? ”
Ling Yang said: "There are two people living here, the lower official and the adult, and the others are from other official offices. Most of the medical officers in Tai Hospital have a good background and can afford to rent a house elsewhere, although it is far away from Changping Gate, after all, they live in a spacious and comfortable place. ”
Su Huihui smiled as she walked: "Yes, the court sentenced you to live in Junjinfang......" She suddenly stopped, coughing to hide her embarrassment.
Si Yan died, she didn't know which party he lost his life to, but it could be regarded as karma.
Ling Yang sighed: "Jun Jinfang...... The adults still don't know that the Liu family on the other side of the wall of the Sifu has been asking Taoist priests to do it for several months, which has caused panic among the people there, just because——"
He stopped suddenly.
Su Huihui asked curiously, "Because of what?" Afraid of bad luck? ”
"Two months ago, Xia Guan seems to have seen people other than the officials enter the Tai Hospital." Ling Yang's face straightened, "But my lord will judge it today." ”
He has always had a few hearts, Su Huihui wrote it down, and learned that he didn't have to go into the palace to ask the little princess for a pulse today, so he asked him to follow behind him, and many people supported him.
The sun was shining, and the officials stood in the courtyard.
Su warmed his mouth and threw a few threatening words heavily, no one recruited, only came to the conclusion that the medicinal materials were still in the medicine cabinet when the court sentenced the last inventory, and several people interrogated them separately, and the rhetoric was very similar. The hospital is used to being idle, the ministers can't use the top medicine, and there are only a handful of nobles in the palace, so they are negligent in guarding.
She couldn't help it, so she tapped them one by one, asking if anyone had set foot in the medicine depot during this time.
There were many officials, guards, and subordinates who had come to the official office, but few had entered the medicine store, and the three officials quickly said a name.
Ling Yang also said: "Yes, Si Fu, the housekeeper of the judgment of the Right Court, after the death of Lord Si, the official office packed up his belongings and took away the small stool that the Lord used to sit on in the medicine storehouse. ”
"Did he bring anyone else?"
He thought for a moment, "A little guy who helps carry things, I glanced at it, and I can't remember it clearly." ”
Su Huihui said with relief: "That's easy, let the housekeeper come out and talk, it's not far from here." ”
The doctors in the courtyard all widened their eyes with strange expressions, and she instantly realized that she had asked something she shouldn't have asked.
Ling Yang hurriedly paved the steps: "Master Su doesn't know that the reason why the Liu family opened the altar is because there are no more ...... left in the mansion Including that Fauber, he has been buried for several days. ”
