He Shi looked at Quding Mountain and said fixedly: "Your father-in-law is a fast catcher, and he must be familiar with the county order." When you go to the county seat, your father-in-law will immediately ask for the county order and tell you all about the affairs of the clan. As long as the county magistrate is willing to delay the Tanzhou official for two days, the matter can be completely concealed. ”

The two brothers thought so.

He instructed: "The school in the clan cannot be suspended tomorrow. The five old men with broken foot bones were temporarily sent to in-laws in other villages, and Qu's cousin Lang Zhong went to visit friends in other places for a few days, and waited for the limelight to pass. ”

The Qu Dinglin brothers can rank in the top three in the county exam, they all have a good brain, write down He's words, take Li Jingjing's medicine, and go home to discuss with the old patriarch.

The silent village suddenly sounded a gong, and the old patriarch held a brief but decisive meeting for the fate of the Qu clan in the ancestral hall.

The old patriarch's sonorous words struck into the minds of every Qu clan like thunder, "If the seven talents of our clan are taken away and the Liuyang County Order is dismissed, then the school will be closed, and our clan will not want to produce another talent in the future, and my clan will always be a lowly person, and they will be looked down upon by people in neighboring villages." ”

The adult men of the Huiqu clan gathered at the door of the old patriarch's house, and it only took half an hour to erect the canopy, this time it was very strong, and the pillar beam in the middle was made of three pieces of wood, which was firmly nailed to the ground.

Qu Dingshan changed his clothes and took the cousin Liu to his father-in-law's house in the county seat in a donkey cart.

Qu Dinglin took Li to the other village to deliver medicine to the four injured.

More than a dozen cousins of the Qu clan went back to their mother's house in the neighboring village under the guise of a string of relatives, and spread the news that the Qu clan had a flower drum show at night.

Qu went around and came back to tell what he had seen and heard, and He nodded and said: "As long as the county order agrees to join forces, success or failure will be on the day when the officials of Tanzhou Prefecture come to investigate the case." ”

Qu had something hanging in his heart, and he boiled the rice with too much water and became a thick rice porridge.

Qu Kuaishou, Qu Changchang, and Qu Duo finished building the rain shed, sweated all over the body, and returned home to see porridge and vegetables on the table of the Eight Immortals in the hall, and sat down to devour them.

From the direction of the bedroom, there was a sound of a woman vomiting, Qu Kuaishou listened to it was Deng, and his eyes glared, and he said in his heart Could it be that the cousin is also pregnant, this is simply impossible.

Qu Kuaishou put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked into the bedroom with the door open, and saw Deng sitting on the bed, taking off his shoes and socks with his right foot and putting them on the bench, and Xiao Deng was using a cotton cloth dipped in black ointment to apply to her ankles.

As soon as Deng's eyes saw the black ointment, he opened his mouth and retched, and when he saw Qu Kuaishou, he was a little embarrassed and said, "My sister saw that my daughter-in-law and I were sick and couldn't cook, so I specially sent food." I wanted my feet to be able to do work quickly, so I asked her for some ointment. She gave it, which means that I don't know the goods. ”

"You really don't know the goods." Qu Kuaishou used to be an executioner in the county government, and he knew some laws, and he didn't sleep all night last night.

He was afraid that Deng would be worried, and he had not told her the consequences of the accident.

Deng was sick and couldn't get out, thinking that the canopy had collapsed and injured sixty-seven people, and the responsibility was in the old patriarch's family, and he didn't know that Lu Dao's children and grandchildren were also implicated and would be removed from their reputation

Qu Kuaishou asked Xiao Deng to go out, personally applied ointment to Deng, and said in a low voice: "The old patriarch's family thinks that the ointment is made by the head of the medicine path, and it is said that a small bottle of ointment with a big thumb can be sold for a hundred copper coins!" ”

Deng said: "Then let's tell my sister to let Sister Jing sell more ointment in the pharmacy." ”

Qu Kuaishou shook his head and said, "No." Jing Meizi did not have the medicine master documents issued by the imperial court, Taoism, and Buddhism, and the ointment she made could not be sold for silver. ”

Deng sighed lightly and asked, "Will last night's accident cause our children and grandchildren to be revoked?" ”

The medicine bowl in Qu Kuai's hand almost fell to the ground.

Deng Shi looked at Qu Kuaishou sensitively, and when he saw him bowing his head and not saying a word, he suddenly cried out in panic and asked, "I said why can't you sleep all night." Why don't you tell me? ”

Qu Kuaishou put down the medicine bowl, hugged Deng's shoulder and comforted: "Don't cry, Sister Yi has already given the old patriarch a good idea, as long as the official errand from Tanzhou Mansion is hidden, the seven talents of the family will be fine." ”

The Deng family knew that the He family was not simple, but he didn't expect to be so strategic, thinking that only a person as smart as her could give birth to a daughter like Li Jingjing.

At dusk, the setting sun gave Qujia Village a faint layer of gold, and there were four old men and women sitting under the old locust tree at the head of the village.

Two men with strange faces walked over in the midst of the people of Xiaoju Village, dressed in a ninety-percent new cotton blue robe.

The middle-aged man with a square face asked: "Hello uncle and aunt, I heard that four days ago, the old patriarch Qu Lizheng's family set up a stage to sing in the name of celebrating the seven talents in the clan, and it rained heavily at night, and the stage collapsed, killing two people and injuring one hundred and seven people?" ”

The Li Zheng of Qujia Village is the old patriarch. People within a radius of dozens of miles are accustomed to calling him the old patriarch, and few people call him Qu Lizheng.

The four old men and women are the most shrewd of the Qu clan, and they have been specially arranged here by the old patriarch these days.

They looked at the clothes of the two men, and then heard the square-faced man speak and the old patriarch called Qu Lizheng, and immediately knew that he was an official from Tanzhou in disguise.

The old woman exclaimed angrily: "! Which shameless one did you listen to? ”

The young man was not angry, with a weird smile on his face, he said slowly: "I heard from the people on the road. ”

An old man coughed a few times and said, "Not four days ago, but five days ago." I went to the theater that day. The stage did not collapse, it was a corner of the canopy, only the size of a wooden basin for washing faces, and there was a thunder in the sky at that time, which shocked a few people below, they were all from other villages. I don't know. ”

The long-faced young man said seriously: "On the way, we heard that the rain shed collapsed that night, and a total of 63 people of the Qu tribe were injured, and five of them couldn't even walk. ”

The old woman hurriedly said: "You are talking nonsense and cursing our Qu clan, are you here to see the play, or are you here to find trouble?" ”

Another old man looked at the two men and shook his head and said, "How can people only listen to rumors and not believe what they have seen. ”

The old woman shouted, "Don't talk to them, I hate them." ”

The two men followed the people of Xiaoju Village into Qujia Village, and asked two more fine men, and after a while, they watched the play for a quarter of an hour in the crowd of Wuyang Wuyang, and felt that the village was peaceful and the people lived normally, so they quietly left and went to Taiqingguan to find a medicine Taoist for verification.

Guangming Zi was at the critical moment of the pharmaceutical, and the Guan Master sent the little Taoist priest to invite him three times in a row, and then invited him to the hall of the Taiqing Temple.

The long-faced man asked, "Are you Guangmingzi?" ”

Guangming Zi nodded, and said suspiciously: "What are you doing?" ”

The square-faced man said, "We are the officials of Tanzhou Mansion. Lord Changshi sent us to thoroughly investigate the mass injury incident in Qujia Village. ”

They went to the Taoist Temple more than once to investigate the case, today is the first time to Taiqing Temple, looking at the Taoist Temple is medium in scale, the master of the temple is a good talker, this pharmacist is only a middle-aged person, such an age is definitely not a great pharmacist.
