Tiehuan, Xinqiao, Polo, and Xiao Najiao returned to Nanzheng Street, broke up and went home.

After the three of Tiehuan, Polo, and Xiao Najiao went home, they didn't dare to say what happened to the lantern festival.

As soon as Xin Miao entered the house, he told his father about the Lantern Festival, and Lao Tan listened, frowned, thinking about the consequences of this incident.

The situation is not good, how did they get into trouble with the Hu family in Jiangnan City? The Hu family's heritage is not only in Jiangnan City, but even in the entire Eastern Country. I want to go to Jiangnan City to find the Eighteenth Prince for help, but wouldn't this be too reckless? After all, when they left Lao Tan's clinic, they didn't reveal their identities to Lao Tan, so why did they go to the Eighteenth Prince's palace to find the eighteenth prince? Besides, they have already sent ten top-grade spirit stones to Lao Tan, which is enough to repay Lao Tan's love for treating the eighteenth prince, and also, when the county magistrate Gao and Deputy County Magistrate Zhu came to the door, if there was no eighteenth prince, the Lao Tan clinic would have been finished long ago. All of this shows that Lao Tan can't trouble people anymore.

The heart has indeed gone a little too far. Hu Gui didn't cause substantial harm to Xiao Najiao, he shouldn't have been injured so badly that the Hu family couldn't let go of this matter, if he let it go, where would the Hu family's face be?

The Hu family will definitely come to save face.

How to get back face?

At least it will make Xinqiao hurt more seriously than Hu Gui, and even make Xinqiao lose his life, which should be the lightest treatment of this matter by the Hu family. If the Hu family still feels angry, it is more likely to sweep down Lao Tan's clinic and kill all of their family.

The heart is pierced by the sky.

I can't die!

Lao Tan's heart is like a knife at the moment.

Escape!

It's the only way!

Run away now, it's definitely too late!

However, if the old Tan family has run away, what will happen to the Lao Tie family, the Lao Bo family, and the Lao Xiao family? When the Hu family sees that the old Tan family has run away, they will definitely be even more annoyed and will be angry at the three of them, and the three of them will definitely suffer a great disaster, and the three families will be ruined!

Did Lao Tan do it?

Let the heart go, stay by yourself, and the other three may still have a glimmer of life. Fighting for himself and Xinqiao's mother to die, and changing Xinqiao and the other three families to live, this is the only best way.

Seeing his father frowning and not speaking for a long time, he calmed down and began to think about the consequences of this incident.

Thinking about it, the more I think about it, the more frightened I become, this is a fatal thing, maybe it will take the life of the whole family!

If only the general's grandfather was here, he would definitely have a way!

"Son, you go right now, the farther you go, the better!" said Lao Tan suddenly.

looked at his father in his heart, hating himself for not being reckless and harming the whole family.

"Father, I won't leave, if I do something wrong, I will have to bear the consequences, this is what you usually say to me. Xin Miao said firmly.

Lao Tan was silent again, he did educate his heart like this.

Xinqiao's mother slept, and the wandering hero had already fallen asleep, and the deathly silence in the backyard of Lao Tan's clinic.

Time flies, and it's midnight in the blink of an eye.

Lao Tan suddenly remembered something, and said to Xinqiao: "You wait for me at home, I will come when I go, no more than an hour!"

"Father, what are you going to do? I'll go with you!"

"Obedient, just wait for me at home!"

After saying that, Lao Tan went out.

He urged the light body exercises, and ran towards the county government.

Soon arrived at the gate of the county government, and the guards stopped Lao Tan.

The guards of the county government all knew Lao Tan and asked him what he was doing in the county government so late?

Lao Tan said that he had an urgent matter to find the county magistrate, and he must see him immediately.

The guards had no doubts about Lao Tan's character, and when they saw Lao Tan say this, they promised to report to the county magistrate immediately, but it was difficult to say if they didn't see him.

Lao Tan said: "You tell the county magistrate, if you don't see me, I will go to the palace of the eighteenth prince." ”

The guards said "yes" again and again, and ran to report to the county magistrate.

After a while, the guard came back and said to him breathlessly, "Come in, the county magistrate is waiting for you in the office." ”

Lao Tan came to the county magistrate's office, and the county magistrate Gao Changyuan frowned and closed the door, and said to him in a low voice: "Old Tan, why did you poke such a big basket in your heart?"

Lao Tan said: "County Magistrate Gao, it's useless to say this, you give me an idea, do you want to go to the eighteenth prince to come forward and settle this matter?"

Gao Changchang said: "The Hu family will take someone to catch the heart tomorrow and smash Lao Tan's clinic, I can't stop it." ”

"Then I'm leaving!" After saying that, Lao Tan walked out.

"Slow!" Gao Changchang said, "This matter is very troublesome, the Hu family's backer is not the eighteenth prince, but the eldest prince, and if you want to save your son, you must think about it in the long run." ”

Lao Tan was shocked, he didn't expect that the Hu family would have a connection with the eldest prince, and even the eighteenth prince could not buy it.

"How do you think about it in the long run?" asked Old Tan anxiously.

Gao Changchang analyzed: "The Hu family is one of the best clans in Jiangnan Province, and it is also ranked in the Eastern Kingdom, but it is only ranked, in the heart of the eldest prince, the Hu family may not necessarily occupy a very heavy proportion, and will not turn against the eighteenth prince for the Hu family." And the relationship between you and the eighteenth prince is different, you have cured the eighteenth prince's stubborn disease, as if you have a life-saving grace to the eighteenth prince, and the eighteenth prince will definitely speak for you and keep you safe. In fact, it is impossible for the Hu family to offend the eighteenth prince because of Hu Gui's affairs, after all, the Hu family is on the territory under the jurisdiction of the eighteenth prince. ”

The more Lao Tan listened, the happier he became, and the dark clouds on his face began to dissipate.

Gao Changyuan suddenly turned his face gloomy and said: "Old Tan, I really don't want to help you, on the contrary, I also want your whole family to be finished!"

Lao Tan's heart instantly became heavy, he tried his best to keep himself calm, and said to Gao Changchang in a calm tone: "County Magistrate Gao, I understand. In fact, I don't have much ambition, I just want to live a dull life, and I don't want to affect your eunuch journey in the real sense, if this is the case, when you catch me at the beginning, I can fall into the well, with the help of the eighteenth prince directly make you unable to turn over forever, did I do this? Not only no, but not at all. ”

Gao Chang held his monkey head high, his emaciated face showed a trace of helplessness, and his two thin mouths moved, and said: "I have been in the official for decades, and I can still see through this, and it is because of this that today, I will help you." You also know that the eighteenth prince confessed before leaving, not allowed to hurt your family again, after the fact, the eighteenth prince ordered Dongfang Zhongxin to come to Xiangxiang City once a month to inspect, so, these days, I am also working diligently, and I have done anything out of the ordinary every month, because I was re-elected as the county magistrate, I am happy to want to make the lantern festival lively, but I don't want to make this happen, I really regret it! If I don't help you, I will offend the eighteenth prince and directly wipe out me, the county official. Help you, I will offend the Hu family, the Hu family's wealth is powerful, and if you come to Yin through the eldest prince or other aspects, my black gauze hat is still not guaranteed, what a dilemma!"

Lao Tan felt that Gao Changchang was telling the truth, and sighed: "Alas, you are the county magistrate, and I am a grassroots doctor, so how can you make a feud? Blame me for being arrogant, or blame you for being harsh? In short, this is the result." In fact, who wants to oppose the government, as long as the government is a little fair and honest, the people will support it, and the people of Xiangxiang City are not very happy these days? Isn't your re-election also going well? Boss Gao, we really don't have any hatred!"

Gao Changyuan also seemed to be very touched, nodded the monkey head slightly, and the two small eyes shot out of essence, and said: "Old Tan, I haven't slept tonight, and I'm actually waiting for your arrival, because I don't think I can help you." In this way, I will drag the people of the Hu family tomorrow and prevent them from coming to Lao Tan Clinic to arrest people and make trouble, early the day after tomorrow, you come to the county government to look for me publicly, and when you see me, you say that you want to meet Dongfang Zhongxin, I firmly disagree, you will make a big noise in the county government, don't show mercy, and then I will have a way to deal with the Hu family. ”

"Lord Dongfang will come to Xiangxiang City the day after tomorrow?" asked the chat in surprise.

Gao Changchang nodded and said, "Go ahead!"

Lao Tan immediately bowed down and said, "Thank you county magistrate, then I will leave!"

......

The next day, Lao Tan's clinic treated patients normally, but Lao Tan went out to run errands and did not come back until the evening.

Early in the morning of the third day, Lao Tan came to the office of the county magistrate Gao.

In the reception room of the county magistrate's office, there were already two guests with angry faces in the reception room, and Gao Chang smiled at each other with a look of obedience.

When Lao Tan saw the county magistrate, he smiled and said, "Xiaomin is here to meet the county magistrate!"

Gao Chang's face sank, and he asked unhappily, "What's the matter?"

Lao Tan put the two big bags of smoked fish and bacon in his hand, fragrant lotus and red dates in front of Gao Chang, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Lord Dongfang under the command of the Eighteenth Prince is here, and the villagers recommended me to come to meet the Lord of the East, and brought a little local products to the Lord of the East to bring to His Royal Highness the Eighteenth Prince, talk about the love of the villagers, and ask the county magistrate to make it convenient, let me meet the Lord of the East, and live up to the hearts of the villagers!"

"Nonsense! His Royal Highness the Eighteenth Prince is so noble and incorruptible, how can he accept the gift from you! Quickly retreat!" Gao Changchang said angrily.

Lao Tan's smiling face changed and turned into a red face, and he also said angrily: "Gao Changchang, you are the county magistrate elected by my Xiangxiang County, and you should convey the love of the villagers to His Royal Highness the Eighteenth Prince to the people of Xiangxiang County.

Gao Changchang shouted: "Did I say that? It's nonsense! Please leave immediately, don't disturb my office, otherwise, I will ask the guards to ask you to leave!"

Lao Tan's voice was even louder: "Gao Changchang, you don't allow the villagers to love His Royal Highness the Eighteenth Prince, we resolutely refuse to agree! I must meet Lord Dongfang!" The voice resounded throughout the county government building.

Gao Changyuan's face turned the color of pig's liver, and he walked up to the two guests awkwardly and said with a smile: "Two elders, please wait, I will take care of this matter and set off with you, otherwise, Lord Dongfang will blame it, and it will be difficult for me to deal with it." ”

One of them's face sank, and he said, "Lord Dongfang, haven't you heard of it! If you put it off again and again, and don't you catch the murderer, aren't you afraid of offending my Hu family master?"

"Who is so loud? Don't even take me Dongfang Zhongxin in your eyes! You want to see what kind of character you are?" A figure walked into the reception room, it was Dongfang Zhong.

Dongfang Zhongxin listened to the report of the county government dignitaries in the inspection room of the county government building, and the inspection room was adjacent to the county magistrate's office.

As soon as the man saw Dongfang Zhongxin coming, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, and then he regained his composure, stepped forward and said to Dongfang Zhongxin: "I am the second elder of the Hu family, my name is Hu Lai, I don't know that Dongfang Lord turned out to be you, how offended, I hope to beg for forgiveness!"

Dongfang Zhongxin laughed: "Hehe, it turns out that Elder Hu Lai is here, no wonder he is so majestic, but it is a little abrupt underneath!"

He turned around and saw Lao Tan here, so he hurriedly walked over and asked, "Old Tan, why are you here?"

Lao Tan hurriedly put down his things, bowed down to Dongfang Zhongzhong and said: "I have seen Dongfang Lord! The villagers heard that the adults are coming, so they asked me to bring some local products, please bring them to His Royal Highness the Eighteenth Prince, and talk about the love of the villagers for His Royal Highness the Eighteenth Prince!" After speaking, he picked up the two bags of things again and solemnly handed them to Dongfang Zhongxin.

Dongfang Zhongxin laughed and said, "Okay! I'll bring it!" he looked out the door of the reception room and shouted, "Someone!"

Two entourages came in outside, and Dongfang Zhong explained: "You move this thing to the chariot and keep it well, this is a piece of the villagers to His Royal Highness the Eighteenth Prince!"

The two of them replied, "Yes!" and walked away with two bags.

Hu Lai walked over and said to Dongfang Zhongzhi: "May I ask Dongfang Lord, is this Lao Tan from Lao Tan Clinic?"

"Exactly, you want to see Lao Tan for a doctor? I'll introduce you, he is a rare famous doctor among the people!" Dongfang Zhongxin said with a smile on his face.

"Lord Dongfang, it's not to see a doctor, it's to arrest people!" Hu Lai said with an angry face.

"Arrest?"
