Chapter 22: The Last Straw

On a high ground outside Tu'an Temple, the gray bark of the Bodhi tree trunk is straight, the umbrella-shaped canopy is full of green, the turquoise flowers and fruits gently sway with the late summer breeze, and the speckled sunlight projected through the gaps shines warmly on the white-clothed young man who takes a cool nap under the shade of the tree.

On the mountain road a hundred meters away, two brothers, one big and one small, who looked a little similar, abandoned the dignity of a man, knelt on the ground, and begged for the deer.

After Yun was saved, it has been three days, and in the past three days, the two brothers have tried all kinds of methods, giving up their bodies to beg for help, saying good things countless times, and using the accommodation entanglement, but the man still does not see them, and the deadline given by the yamen is approaching day by day, and they are really desperate.

"You two better go back, sir won't see you." Mr. finally had a sense of sleep, Lu Ming just took a breath, he heard that the two of them were kowtowing here, no one could stop him, and when he thought of Mr. being so weak, he secretly sulked.

The slightly older man rejected his proposal outright, insisting that he would see him before he got up.

Although Lu Ming is just a guard, he is a capable officer around Jiming, and now he has sorted out his mood and does not care about this person's mistakes, and is kind enough to persuade him, but this person does not appreciate it, and is still stubborn, obviously there are so many roads to go, but he wants to choose a wrong path that will not lead to results, forget it, let him go.

August and September are the good times for the flowers and fruits to ripen, and this century-old linden tree bears a lot of fruit this year, and the ripe purple fruits hidden among the leafy branches exude a faint fruity fragrance, attracting birds from high places to fly down and peck down, not to mention the rabbits that have been salivating under the trees.

"Hey, wipe your saliva, it's all down the hill." Guan Ju suddenly appeared, handed a handkerchief from behind him, and teased the rabbit.

The stupid big man who had no city government was really fooled, and he raised his cuffs to wipe his mouth in a panic, and the place where he touched it was clean, only then did he realize that he had been deceived, and Rabbit Yi couldn't help but feel that he couldn't hang on his face, and he looked for Guan Ju who saw the joke with a tiger face to settle accounts:

"Okay, go out, I'm so bold that I dare to make fun of your Grandpa Rabbit! If you don't open the house for three days, see how I clean you up. ”

This fool, I haven't seen him for a few days, I really miss him, Guan Ju looked at him as if he had lit a cannon fight, rolled up his arms and sleeves and shouted to beat him, holding his forehead and sighing!

"As the saying goes: Scholars should be impressed for three days. You haven't changed at all, you're still so rude! With great effort to break open the thick arm wrapped around his neck, Guan Ju had time to express his true feelings.

"Hee-hee, this is your Grandpa Rabbit's style!" Ignoring his ridicule, the rabbit smiled brightly, and expressed a warm welcome to Guan Ju's return with his practical actions.

Even the tall rat hiding in the tree threw down a ripe polyflower fruit and smashed it on Guan Ju's head, which also meant to say: welcome.

Guan Ju, who was "pie in the sky", naturally didn't care about his head being smashed, picked up the fruit, and rubbed it on the dumbfounded rabbit to make sure that the fruit was clean.

This difference in treatment between heaven and earth, the irritable rabbit is gone, why did he wait under the tree for so long, and he didn't even hit a fruit core on his head, Guan Ju, this kid just came, and ate it? Naked discrimination! If he hadn't been afraid of waking him up, he would have taken it off himself.

The honest rabbit Yi made excuses for himself to divert his attention, covered his ears and face, didn't look at the two people who were bullying him in a hurry, and expressed his unhappiness at this time with silence.

Anyway, Mr. hasn't woken up yet, Guan Ju has time to fight with him, and he still doesn't believe it, Charizard still has a silent day? If you don't make fun of him today, I'm sorry for my boredom outside for three days!

"Fooling around, playing no matter the occasion, woke up Mr., only the two of you are asking!" Seeing that the noise between the two of them was getting louder and louder, Lu Ming glanced at the two of them and reprimanded them with a cold face.

Although Lu Ming is not as old as the two of them, he has been with Ji Ming for the longest time, the three of them are newcomers, and they still have to pay attention to proportions in front of elder-level figures, Lu Ming is not deliberately finding fault, he can allow them to be playful, provided that he does not hinder the master, if he does not mention them, let them mess around, and lose the face of his own husband!

Rabbit Yi touched his nose, Guan Ju shrugged indifferently, the two of them accepted it when they saw it, but they just put on a big brother's stand at Lu Ming, a little disdainful, they are all slaves, why can he be arrogant and show off his might?

Lu Ming saw their perfunctory and indignant attitude, and choked back into his stomach, with a thousand bitterness in his heart, and finally just turned into a long-term sigh.

The three of them didn't speak, the silence under the linden tree was terrible, the wind rustled, the fine sand particles scratched the skin, a faint pain hit, the thick and slender eyelashes of the sleeping teenager on the rattan chair finally moved, if he didn't wake up again, Lu Ming would be bullied......

"Guan Ju, tell me what you found." Ji Ming has always slept lightly, but just now he was just closing his eyes to recuperate.

Although his words were not heavy, they were very cold, and he said such a sentence suddenly, which made Guan Ju ring the alarm in his heart, and Mr. was angry!

Lu Ming came to him for the first time, silently helped him get up, filled two cotton mats behind him as usual, served a cup of ginseng tea, and folded the brocade, and then retreated and stood aside, making room for Guan Ju.

Guan Ju looked at the master who was enjoying the waiter on the rattan chair, perhaps because he had just woken up, he exuded a lazy atmosphere, the whole person was lazy, and his pale and bloodless face was illuminated by the speckled sun, and he could vaguely see the bruised and purple blood vessels. Ginseng tea all day long, even if Lu Ming didn't say anything, he could vaguely guess that this Mr. Jiming was afraid that the limit was approaching.

Turning his head and looking at the aquatic brothers who were kneeling and kowtowing under the scorching sun a hundred meters away, one was enjoying in heaven and the other was suffering in hell.

"Ahem." As if disgusted that he had dragged on for too long, Lu Ming reminded him by the side.

Realizing his gaffe, Guan Ju hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Ji Ming's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, straightened out his thoughts, and told what he knew:

On August 5th, Xu Wen, a doctor in Jishitang, who was known as the "miracle doctor" in Jiangdu, rejuvenated with his wonderful hands and cured the hidden illness of Emperor Xining.

Ji Ming pursed his lips and blew open a tea leaf, his lowered eyebrows and eyes were full of banter, and he did not comment on Guan Ju's words, and asked lightly: "Xu Wen's name is so familiar, have you ever seen it?" ”

Lu Ming twisted his eyebrows and thought about it for a while, could it be?

"Indeed, this person is the person I saw at the ferry on the outskirts of Jiangdu in early August." Guan Ju replied: "In the sixteenth year of Xining, the plague broke out in Jiangdu City, countless deaths and injuries, and the famous doctors were helpless. However, what the subordinates found was very different from the facts, and it was indeed as Lu Ming said, Xu Wen's name as a miracle doctor was not worthy of his name. ”

Met in early August? How he didn't know. This thing is getting more and more interesting, and Ji Ming calmly looks at Lu Ming, wanting to hear what he has to say.

Lu Ming, who was named, bit his lip, struggled inwardly, and told the truth what he had concealed: "Mr. forgive me, my subordinates did not intend to hide this matter." It's just that I didn't agree with the name of Xu Wen's divine doctor at that time, so I skipped him and came directly to visit Master Ci'an. ”

"How can you see that this person is not worthy of his name?"

"The orphan girl in Jiangling has traveled thousands of miles to defect, this person has disregarded the agreement and wants to embezzle the weak woman's property, if it is not for the maintenance of his ridiculous image, Jiang Du Taishou is afraid that there will be one more unjust case on his desk. It's just a separate hospital, and even weak girls are not spared, and the rumors are not reliable, which shows that this person's medical ethics are not as smart and noble as his medical skills. ”

"Hearing you say this, that Doctor Xu is calling for wind and rain in Jiangdu City, enjoying all the glory and wealth, is the courtyard inlaid with gold or paved with jade, so that he is so happy?" The hand holding the tea paused, the interest in his eyes became stronger, and he asked again.

"Actually, what you know about this courtyard is the resting place you bought in Jiangdu, from the day you said you were going to sell it, how many people rushed to ask for it, Xu Wen became the final winner with his prestige as a miracle doctor, and this courtyard fell to the Xu family." Speaking of this, Lu Ming is like a treasure. The courtyard was designed by Mr. himself, and he supervised the whole process of Luming, so can it be bad?

"Oh? I'm a little impressed by what you say, and it's no wonder. But Xu Wen has entered the palace, so this courtyard is still surnamed Xu? Hearing this, there was a faint smile between his eyebrows, and he put down his teacup and prepared to listen.

"The name of the courtyard has been changed, it is called Xinglin Yuan, and the new owner's surname is Yun, it is the weak girl in Jiangling, and you saw it not long ago." Lu Ming was worried about something, and his words were very vague, and Guan Ju on the side wondered in his heart: What else happened in the three days he left? Guan Ju, who has a bit of a brain, is still like this, let alone the rabbit who was stunned from the beginning.

After guessing that the person was her, there was a little more color in her eyes, and she didn't know whether she was overjoyed or sad. In short, Lu Mingneng felt that Mr.'s mood had changed, and he hesitated to say that their person Liu Yun was still there.

"What's going on with those two?" Ji Ming avoided the topic of Xinglin Yuan and pointed the finger at the aquatic brothers a hundred meters away.

Lu Ming was obviously not on the same channel as him, thinking about Xinglinyuan, but he didn't pay attention to what Mr. said just now, and was stunned for a while.

It was rare to see him make a fool of himself, Guan Ju's mood was a little better for no reason, he gave him a vengeful look, and replied:

"The daughter of the Yun family in Jiangling had taken the boat of the two fathers, as a thank you, the daughter of the Yun family gave a home remedy, and her home remedies are Xu Wen's prescription for curing the emperor's hidden disease, I don't know why, Xu Wen in the name of stealing the prescription, the boat family filed a complaint on the Taishou Mansion, and Zhu Rong was arrested and imprisoned for the crime of great disrespect, and the city was abandoned at three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow to set an example. The two of them have come here to ask you to save the boatman. ”

After hearing this, he sneered, a person's heart is not enough to swallow an elephant, and there is no excuse for a crime that he wants to add, why should he be involved in the entanglement of right and wrong?

"You go and tell Xie Shuide, Xie Chongzhen is insatiable and deserves it, the government has been convicted, and I can't help it, let them ask for another master."

Before Guan Ju finished speaking, Mr. knew the name of the boatman, which really made him stunned.

Lu Ming knew how sad Mr. should be when he said this. It has always been a complete chill to the people of the Xie family.

When the two saw Guan Ju coming, they thought they were inviting them over, but they never thought that they were here to pick them up.

The smiling face of the aquatic life that had not yet unfolded froze into a ball, and when he heard this ruthless words, he was stunned.

A refusal shattered his only hope, Xie Shuide suddenly felt that the sky was dark, and he couldn't accept this fact for a while, and finally couldn't hold his eyes and fell to the ground.
