In fact, the little Danzi Shan Wanzhao has always had a grudge against Qin Zhihong, and when the Boxers broke into the Chai family, he was the concierge of the Chai family at that time. Although the Boxers did not burn and loot like bandits, they also knocked themselves out and entered Chaifu. And when he was dizzy, he seemed to feel that Qin Zhihong was beside him, and he was in the same group as the Boxers, which made him take precautions from the bottom of his heart every time he saw Qin Zhihong.

But Xiao Danzi couldn't find conclusive evidence, besides, he met Qin Zhihong and Lian'er several times later, and he didn't see them have anything to do with the Boxers, but since the Boxers defeated Xujialou, he was afraid that he would be punished for taking refuge in Chai Wanjun, and he would wake up and run away. In the past few years, he has eaten and slept in the open air, and even begged for a living, thinking of the hardships he has suffered, he hated the Boxers to the core, so when the Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing, he took the initiative to help the foreigners find boxers, and he didn't know the boxers, and happened to meet Lian'er, so he sprinkled his resentment on her head, and reported to Lieutenant Bard that Lian'er was a member of the Boxers, as for meeting Qin Zhihong later, and then Qin Zhihong cured Bard and became friends, but the small list was unexpected.

This time, Zhang Zongqi and Qin Zhihong were very grateful, and the Qin family wanted to let the Zhang family act as an agent, to put it bluntly, it was something that both families benefited. The Qin family is a doctor, and the medicine is the best to remove the disease, while the Zhang family is a pharmacist, and the good efficacy of the medicine can also improve their reputation.

At first, the Zhang family didn't think that the Qin family's Hu Qiling Flower Scatter would have such a curative effect, but Zhang Zongqi's father had just handed over the affairs of the family to him, so he came to discuss cooperation with the Qin family, but Qin Zhihong told him frankly that the recipe could not be prepared in large quantities, although it was annoying, but Qin Zhihong agreed to sell a part of it, but it was also a lost corner, and the mulberry elm was harvested.

But Zhang Zongqi's father, Master Zhang, came back and heard his son say this, but he didn't think so, thinking that the Qin family deliberately didn't want to hand over the prescription, so he called Xiao Danzi and carefully inquired about Qin Zhihong's affairs.

So Xiao Danzi told Master Zhang in detail about several encounters with Qin Zhihong, and deliberately said conclusively that Qin Zhihong used to be a boxer of the Boxer Rebellion, and he had something to do with foreigners.

And Zhang Zongqi didn't know about this, just when he was about to discuss with Qin Zhihong how to export the Seven Spirits Flower Scatter in the next step, someone from the government came to inquire about Qin Zhihong, saying that someone reported that he was a boxer, who had participated in the "boxing rebellion" that year, and colluded with foreigners in the capital.

At this moment, Qin Zhihong was completely confused, and Zhang Zongqi didn't know anything about it, and he didn't expect that the initiator of this incident was his father Master Zhang.

When Qin Zhihong was taken away by the government, he asked Xu Wende to take care of the storefront, so he was hurriedly taken away by the government and imprisoned him in a prison awaiting trial.

This is also the first time Qin Zhihong has been imprisoned in his life, and he is inexplicable. The cell is near the lobby, but the construction is low and dark, after entering, I can't help but feel depressed in my heart, but fortunately, Qin Zhihong's family gave the officials benefits, so they got a cell with window lattices.

Qin Zhihong asked the jailer in charge of the cell and said, "This official, please don't mind if you don't speak." ”

When the jailer saw Qin Zhihong asking him, he also approached, so Qin Zhihong gave this person all the broken silver he had with him, and the jailer didn't hate Qin Zhihong on this page, so he said politely:

"Uncle Qin, I know that you are generous, and you practice medicine to save the people, and today you are really extraordinary, I don't know what advice you have?"

Qin Zhihong asked this little official why the government suddenly wanted to find his bad luck this time. The officer said:

"Hey, you don't know this yet, I'll just say it directly, it's a guy from the Zhang family, it seems that the surname is Shan, he reported you, our lord has a good relationship with the Zhang family, I thought, this guy from the Zhang family came to the county government to report you, presumably it was also instructed by Master Zhang, so he took it."

Qin Zhihong let out an "oh", and couldn't help but be surprised, thinking to himself, it turns out that the Zhang family has been eyeing him for a long time, but I am talking to his young master Zhang Zongqi about the transaction, why are they doing this, so that the two families have nothing to earn? I think it's also Xiao Danzi, who has always held a grudge against himself, so he instigated Master Zhang to do this.

The official then said: "Uncle Qin, you, if you have any means, hurry up, or wait until the trial starts, but it will be too late." ”

Qin Zhihong was thinking about it, and ignored the words of this officer, but the officer in charge of the cell thought that he was almost blackmailing just now, Qin Zhihong heard that he was deliberately snubbing himself, so he said:

"Master Qin, it's not that I'm deliberately scaring you, if you still think about your two jujubes, this matter will be over."

In fact, many literary and artistic works mention the official service, and even some works are the main characters, such as Song Jiang and Wu Song in "Water Margin", etc., and then the seven heroes and five righteousness around Bao Zheng and so on. But if you talk about it in detail, taking the Qing Dynasty as an example, the official service itself was not a high-level profession, and some positions were even regarded as being in the same stream as prostitutes and slaves. Of course, Song Jiang is a scribe, a scholar, Wu Song is a head, and he is a criminal police captain, which is probably also sitting for the needs of character portrayal, and the protagonist can't be born a pariah, so the status of the two is higher, followed by Kuding and Minzhuang, which are much better than those with poor food, fast catching, menzi, and executioners, the latter are actually untouchables who are not even as good as civilians.

According to the system of the Qing Dynasty, a day's salary is about a meal, so their survival often depends on gray income, which seems to have become an unwritten rule in the Qing Dynasty, and colleagues have also become the actual operators of the Qing Prefecture for three years and 100,000 snowflakes of silver.

These officials are different from the masters of the county government, they have to rely on the county officials themselves to pay for recruitment, but to catch a lot of them in the market, and these people often do this for generations, and randomly find a former Qing old executioner (of course, they may not admit it now), and often his ancestors taught him this professional killing skill when they were executioners. The Qing Dynasty also stipulated that these officials were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination within three generations, which shows that these people did not even want to see the imperial court.

In this situation, although these people usually shout in the market, but they are despised, so the distortion of the heart can naturally be imagined, the author even thinks that these people are tantamount to eunuchs with power in the court, although they have power, but their status is very humble, so they have no shame in doing things, and even bribery is not disguised. But if you think about it carefully, it is a bit wronged against them, because in the social environment at that time, these things were their main way of survival, and they couldn't live on the salary of that meal every day. - Therefore, there is no shame, it is their "patent right" as a pariah, no wonder Guan Zi said, "Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing".

Qin Zhihong suddenly returned to reality from his thoughts, but he had already found that he had offended the jailer, but the matter had come to this point, so he had to go.

But the county government didn't seem to be in a hurry to interrogate Qin Zhihong, but wanted to lock him up. In fact, the county government felt that the evidence was insufficient, and because Qin Zhihong was a new person, the county government also heard that Old Man Yang was the former commander, but he didn't dare to do things too desperately, so he was deadlocked here.

But Lian'er and Ziyi couldn't sit still, so they had to go to the government to theorize, but Old Man Yang hurriedly stopped, and the two daughters stopped. But Lian'er suddenly thought that Qin Zhihong met Boss Wang when he was in Beijing, so he told Mr. Yang what happened, and Mr. Yang felt that this matter was feasible, so he asked Xu Wende to send someone to Beijing to find Boss Wang, and attached his letter.

Boss Wang was righteous, opened the letter and saw it, knowing that Qin Zhihong was suspected of being a boxer and colluding with foreigners to go to prison, so he let Xu Wende live here with him, and he hurriedly went out.

After most of the day, Boss Wang came back, and after Xu Wende saw it, he hurriedly inquired about the situation. Boss Wang said with a smile that it has been done, Xu Wende can go back, and he will see Qin Zhihong when he arrives at SD.

Xu Wende was a little inexplicable, thinking to himself, Qin Zhihong is in the prison of SD's hometown, you go out for most of the day, and you are only within a radius of more than ten miles in the capital, how can you say that you will come out when you save him?

But Xu Wende was inconvenient to ask, so he had to go to SD on the road, but he couldn't figure it out on the way.

Qin Zhihong is in the prison, although he has not received the pain of flesh and skin, but every day is dark and damp, coarse tea and light food, and it is also unbearable, the only interesting thing is that Zhang Zongqi came to see him.

Originally, the prison was not allowed to visit the prison, so the people of the Qin family were naturally blocked out by the jailers, and they just left their change of clothes with the jailers, even so, they had to put on a lot of silver and say a lot of good things. But Young Master Zhang is different, the official knows that he is from the Zhang Mansion, and the fool also knows that Qin Zhihong was imprisoned this time because the Zhang family coveted the Qin family's prescription and framed Qin Zhihong, so he didn't stop him.

Every time Zhang Zongqi came, Master Zhang instructed him and asked Qin Zhihong for the recipe for the Seven Spirits Flower Scattering, but although Zhang Zongqi was submissive every time, he did not implement it. And Zhang Zongqi was also ashamed of Qin Zhihong, but this was not the time to save face, Old Man Yang told him in private, only you, Zhang Zongqi, could get close to Qin Zhihong, so the Qin family wanted him to help see Qin Zhihong.

Therefore, Zhang Zongqi came to visit the prison "on behalf of the two families".

Zhang Zongqi naturally set up the wine and food, and drank with Qin Zhihong in the prison cell, Qin Zhihong can also think about it, and now the matter is clear, although the Zhang family is embarrassed by Qin Zhihong, but Zhang Zongqi does not know, and he is ashamed and unhappy with himself, and he also tells his Lao Tzu every time and tells Qin Zhihong how to deal with it; What's more important is that every time the Qin family has any entrustment, he is the one who comes to talk to him.

So every time the two of them discussed the coping strategy, Master Zhang didn't notice it for a while.

And just when the case dragged on and on, the criminal department of the imperial court suddenly sent a telegram, saying that Qin Zhihong had assisted the Qing army Nie Shicheng to resist foreign humiliation, as for colluding with foreigners, it was entirely because of the threat of foreigners, and he had no choice but to treat his illness, and the testimony of the owner of the Wang family pharmacy could be confirmed, urging the county government to hurry up the trial and quickly close the case.

When this telegram arrived in ZP County, Xu Wende had just set off from the capital, and the county lord did not dare to slack off, so he immediately found the master of the Zhang family and told him the truth.

And Master Zhang has long been dissatisfied with the county master, thinking, we have been friends for many years, you are even a Jianghu Langzhong, and you are reluctant to do it, and now you are using the telegram of the imperial court to talk about things, but you are not good at attacking, so you have to admit this planting.
