266. Malicious provocation

Wei Gongzi was surprisingly smooth in his new position, although it was inevitable that the veterans in the camp would not like him, but except for Xie Li, he had the highest position to save him, and Xie Li was restrained, and no one dared to trouble him for a while. Seeing that every day Wei Gongzi led people to shine in the city with a handsome face, and a group of veterans could only grin and stare dryly, Nangong Mo couldn't help but want to laugh.

Wei Gongzi's current state is very kind: the position in this realm is not as high as my backstage, the backstage is not as hard as my position, and the position and backstage are higher than mine, and I am not as handsome as I am domineering. In short – underdrawn.

Nangong Mo also knew that such a balance could not be maintained for too long, but... People don't look for trouble, it's not good for them to be juniors, and they rush up to provoke themselves, right?

After coming to this small city, although Nangong Mo couldn't go to the barracks from time to time, he was much more comfortable in other aspects than in the border barracks. Although there are military camps one by one here, there is nothing missing in the city, and it is very close to Youzhou. So, with a wave of his hand, Nangong Mosu simply opened the medical hall in the city. Of course, the people in charge of the medical hall are Zhang Ju'an and Ding Xiaotie, who can help grab the medicine, and Nangong Mo only goes over to see it occasionally.

In the Wei Mansion, Nangong Mo sat leisurely in the courtyard watching the sun on the book mountain, and not far from her, Qu Lianxing sat under the tree and sat on the female red. Farther away, under the eaves, Xingwei held his sword and leaned against the pillar in a daze.

It's just August, and it's already a little cool in the north. The warm autumn sun shines on the body and makes people drowsy.

Seeing her lazy appearance, Qu Lianxing put down the needle and thread in her hand and smiled: "The county lord doesn't seem to have much energy these days. ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said helplessly: "I've been busy every day in the past few months, and I don't know what to do when I'm suddenly idle." Qu Lianxing thought for a while and said, "General Xie will not allow the county lord to meddle in the affairs of the army. She thought that this was not the reason why Xie Li looked down on women, but that Xie Li should have fully understood the power of the county lord from Jinling. If the county lord is really allowed to walk freely in the army without any scruples, wouldn't it mean that they have to guard against two Wei Gongzi at the same time?

Nangong Mo could only sigh, "It's really pitiful to be a woman......"

Qu Lianxing couldn't help but smile and said, "Probably only the county lord would think so." Other women can't wait to be pampered and pampered all their lives, and their fingers will not touch the spring water. What's more, the county lord has a lot of things to do every day, it's because the county lord worked too hard a few days ago, and now he feels too idle. Childe also didn't want the county lord to be too tired. ”

Nangong Mo rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, that's why you and Liu Han helped me deal with everything." ”

"We can only help the county lord deal with some small things. You can't do big things. Qu Lianxing covered her lips and smiled. Nangong Mo said regretfully: "It's a pity... There are no two major things that happen in a year. So... It's nothing wrong with me. ”

Qu Lianxing said: "I think the county lord should give birth to a little boy or a little miss." If you have a child, you won't be bored. ”

"Kid." Nangong Mo was a little moved, and thought for a while: "This kind of thing... It still depends on fate, right? "Earlier, she was no longer taking contraceptive drugs, but the prescription she had prepared for so long that it was probably not so easy to have children for a while. Occasionally, Nangong Mo is also a little hesitant, sometimes he feels that having a child of his own is also a very exciting thing, and sometimes he feels that giving birth to a child should be slow.

Qu Lianxing saw her tangled look, although she didn't understand what there was to worry about a woman giving birth, she still changed the topic cooperatively, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, are the county lord and the prince going to Youzhou for the festival?" ”

Nangong Mo thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, Uncle and Qianwei Qianjiong will definitely not go back in recent years." Jun Mo ran back as soon as he arrived, and the impact was not good. ”

Qu Lianxing thought about it for a while, nodded and smiled: "Then we are going to start preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

Nangong Mo nodded and said, "You look at the preparation." ”

"Yes, County Lord."

"County Lord!" Outside the door, Liu Han hurriedly came in. As soon as he saw Liu Han's expression, Nangong Mo knew that something was wrong, but he was not in a hurry and asked leisurely, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Han said in a deep voice: "Someone is making trouble in the hospital. ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, this small city is not big, and there are only more than 1,000 families living in it, most of which are the families of soldiers in the army. It is impossible for these people not to know that the hospital was opened by her, and there are indeed a lot of people who dare to come to the door to make trouble.

"What's going on?"

Liu Han said in a deep voice: "It is said that she is the beloved concubine of the son of General Zhao's family, and she died shortly after seeing a doctor in our medical hall. The son of the Zhao family carried the corpse and blocked the door of our medical hall to make a fuss. ”

Nangong Mo sat up, and Qu Lianxing next to him also put down the needle and thread in his hand. Nangong Mo frowned, "General Zhao? ”

Qu Lianxing said with a smile: "The county lord forgot, it was the one who squeezed Gongzi in front of General Xie a few days ago. He is a famous fierce general under General Xie, from the deputy general of Sanpin. ”

Nangong Mo stood up and frowned, "Aren't the generals and their families who lead the troops all have to live in Jinling?" What's going on with this Zhao Gongzi? Qu Lianxing had already inquired about these things clearly, and said: "In order to control the officers and soldiers in the army, the imperial court does have such rules. However, this Zhao Gongzi is the concubine of General Zhao, and General Zhao has been stationed in Youzhou since the founding of the country, which is much longer than the time that His Royal Highness King Yan has been in the domain. Those who stayed in Jinling were his wives and sons-in-law, and General Zhao also took a few concubines in Youzhou, and there were two sons and a daughter under his knees. ”

Nangong Mo nodded, "Is it strange to know Jun?" ”

"Early in the morning, General Xie ordered Gongzi to inspect the barracks. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back today. Liu Han said, hesitating for a moment, Liu Han asked, "County Lord, do you want to ask Gongzi to come back immediately?" ”

Nangong Mo waved his hand, "It's not a big deal, you don't have to be so excited." I'll just check it out. ”

Nangong Mo's newly opened medical hall is on the side of the street not far from the Wei Mansion, and it is only a short walk from the mansion

It was only a quarter of an hour's walk from the gate of the house. Before I even walked in, I saw a group of people gathering at the entrance of the medical hall, making a lot of noise. At a glance, you can see a young man standing in the doorway, shouting angry and indignant. Seeing this, Nangong Mo couldn't help but want to laugh. She doesn't rely on the hospital to live, even if these people want to deal with them, what's the use of picking this point? Even if the hospital can't be opened, how much loss can she have?

Liu Han, who was following behind, saw her stop, and also stopped, and said in a low voice: "County Lord, Dr. Zhang's Fang Zi Xiaoding showed us." It's just an ordinary wind chill medicine, and it definitely can't kill people. Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, a sneer hooked up on his lips, and whispered a few words in Liu Han's ear. A trace of surprise flashed in Liu Han's eyes, and he quickly nodded again: "My subordinates understand." Do it now. ”

Nangong Mo shook his head, "No, let the danger be done." Do it cleanly. ”

"Yes."

Seeing that Zhang Ju'an and Ding Xiaotie were about to be arrested, Nangong Mo walked over and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Hearing her voice, everyone stopped in unison. The young man in the lead raised his head proudly and said, "Who are you?" ”

Nangong Mo smiled lightly, "You dare to make trouble in my medical hall, will you not know who I am?" A hint of discoloration flashed on the man's face, and he quickly disappeared without a trace, and said in a loud voice: "What? The medicine prescribed by the doctor in your hospital ate people to death, and the county lord of Star City still wants to use his power to suppress people? ”

Hearing the name of the county lord of Star City, the onlookers couldn't help but talk about it. They may not know who the county lord of Star City is, but the identity of the county lord is naturally high. Everyone in the world has a natural tendency to sympathize with the weak, so there are more people who favor the other side. Everyone pointed at Nangong Mo and his entourage, and there were many discussions.

"County Lord." Seeing Nangong Mo appear, Zhang Ju'an and Ding Xiaotie let go of their newcomers. Ding Xiaotie's eyes were almost red, although he had followed him to the battlefield and seen a lot of dead people, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he was very scared.

"Madame, they have wronged us. The medicine prescribed by Brother Zhang will not eat the dead. "Ding Xiao Railway.

That Zhao Gongzi was furious when he heard this, "Is it possible that you mean it or that we have wronged you?" The prescription was prescribed by you, the medicine was caught by you, and after eating it, the person died, who did not look for you? These two, one has not yet stood up, and the other has not yet reached the weak crown and dared to sit in the hall for consultation, which is clearly not to put human life in the ability! ”

Many people think that what Zhao Gongzi said is polite, and most people in the doctor industry think that the older they are, the better their medical skills and the higher their experience. Ordinary medical clinics do not invite young people to sit in the classroom. If it weren't for Zhang Ju'an's medical skills being personally tested by the two doctors in the army and Nangong Mo's test, Nangong Mo would not have sat alone in the court.

Qu Lianxing took a step forward and said lightly: "Since Zhao Gongzi thinks that the doctor in our medical hall is unreliable, why would he let your concubine come here to see a doctor?" Could it be that the dignified General Zhao's Mansion can't even afford to hire a doctor? ”

Seeing Qu Lianxing, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Gongzi's eyes. But she was a little embarrassed because she revealed her identity, and gritted her teeth and said: "Naturally, there is a doctor in our house, but it just so happens that the doctor is sick, so it's just... I didn't expect to kill her! Lord of Star City, please give this son an explanation, otherwise, this son will never give up! ”

Nangong Mo was not angry or anxious, but said lightly: "How does Zhao Gongzi want to refuse to give up?" ”

Zhao Gongzi raised his chin and said, "This prince naturally believes that there is still a royal law in this world, so please ask the yamen to deal with it impartially." ”

Standing next to him were the catchers of the two yamen. Although most of the people living in this small city are dependents of the army, it still belongs to the territory of Youzhou, and the yamen is set up according to the standard of the county level, and the county order in the yamen is readily available. But most of the time, Xie Li has the final say, and the county order can only be regarded as an ornament.

Nangong Mo walked over and looked at the woman's body on the ground and frowned slightly, and Zhang Ju'an next to him said respectfully: "County Lord, your subordinates have been wronged." The subordinates dared to guarantee with their lives that they absolutely did not prescribe the wrong medicine. ”

Nangong Mo was noncommittal, but said, "Read me the prescription you prescribed." Zhang Ju'an nodded, read the prescription he prescribed very fluently, looked at the people on the ground and was still a little inexplicable, and couldn't help but add: "That... Madame just has a headache and fever, and I prescribed the most common cinnamon soup, and I also deliberately reduced the amount of some medicine, why did I eat bad people? Zhang Anju couldn't help but say that even if he really prescribed the wrong medicine, he would have to take at least a month or two for that kind of medicine to have problems, right? What's more, he still has some confidence in his medical skills.

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and asked, "When did people die?" ”

Zhao Gongzi said with a cold face: "Last night." ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyes and glanced at the sun in the sky, which had sunset, "It seems that Zhao Gongzi is very busy, so he has delayed coming to the doctor to settle accounts until now?" ”

Zhao Gongzi's face suddenly turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The county lord is not as good as Gu left and right!" ”

Nangong Mo smiled faintly, and a silver wire moved slightly from his fingertips and shot out the wrist that wrapped around the woman lying on the ground. Zhao Gongzi next to him sneered contemptuously, people have been dead for six or seven hours before they come to check the pulse?

Nangong Mo frowned slightly, withdrew the silver thread and squatted down to look at the woman on the ground, and only after a while did he turn back to Liu Han who was standing on the side and said, "Liu Han, come and take a look." ”

Liu Han was a little surprised, but he still walked up to Nangong Mo and squatted down to inspect the woman's body. He shook his head and whispered, "It's useless to be poisoned." ”

Liu Han then checked and probed the woman's whole body. Zhao Gongzi and his entourage, who were standing next to him, were a little impatient, and said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean? Are you still trying to blaspheme the dead when they are dead? Nangong Mo turned his head, glanced at Zhao Gongzi lightly, and said: "According to what Zhao Gongzi said, the county lord will be able to comfort the deceased if he hands over the person to you for disposal?" The lord of this county is only afraid, this death will not be blind. ”

Zhao Gongzi had a message in his heart

One in his heart, "What do you mean?" ”

Nangong Mo smiled lightly.

"What's going on?" A slightly angry voice came from outside the crowd, Zhao Gongzi's face was happy, and he turned around and said, "Dad, you have to be the master for your son!" ”

The person who came was General Zhao, who had just quarreled with Nangong Mo and his party a few days ago. This general is nearly 50 years old, but he is still burly, and his full of anger and ferocity tempered by decades of fighting on the battlefield give people a feeling that no one is close to him.

General Zhao glanced at Nangong Mo and the others, and snorted coldly: "Star City County Lord, what do you mean by this?" ”

Nangong Mo stood up and said with a light smile: "The county lord also wants to ask General Zhao, what does it mean for Ling Gongzi to come and block the door of my medical hall with a corpse?" ”

"Obviously, it was your doctor who prescribed the medicine and ate the dead." Zhao Gongzi relied on someone to support him, and immediately became arrogant, and said: "If the county lord wants to use his identity to bully us, why don't we go to General Xie and ask him to comment!" Nangong Mo said indifferently: "You don't need to look for General Xie, the county lord is here with you... Be reasonable. ”

General Zhao sneered and said, "County Lord, I'm afraid this kind of thing is not something that you can say as a woman, so let's ask General Wei to come back." As for these two prisoners, lock them up first! ”

The people from the yamen didn't dare to move, but the people who followed behind General Zhao didn't have this scruples, and they stepped forward directly to arrest Zhang Ju'an and Ding Xiaotie. The smile on Nangong Mo's face sank, and he said coldly: "This county lord sees who dares!" ”

"Do it!" General Zhao didn't want to buy Nangong Mo, the county lord's account, and directly waved his hand and ordered.

In the end, the military order was heavier, and several guards did not dare to delay, and hurriedly stepped forward to detain Ding Xiaotie and Zhang Ju'an.

"Presumptuous!" I don't know when, two people who also looked like guards appeared beside Nangong Mo, and two swords, one on the left and one on the right, blocked the way of several guards. Looking at the two men who suddenly appeared with unkind expressions, General Zhao's guards didn't dare to step forward for a while. General Zhao suddenly felt his face dark, "Can't you hear General Ben's words?" Don't catch me yet! ”

"Found it." Behind him, Liu Han suddenly spoke. When everyone heard this, they all turned their eyes to Liu Han, who was squatting on the ground. I saw Liu Han's hand caressing the top of the woman's head for a while, and slowly pulled out a slender silver needle from her hair. Liu Han got up, twisted the silver needle in his hand and said, "Zhao Gongzi wants to say that it was Dr. Zhang who inserted this silver needle into the top of your concubine's head?" General Zhao, if you don't believe me, please let the yamen come over for an autopsy to see when this silver needle was inserted. ”

The silver needle was thin and long, and very soft. It is not easy to insert her into the acupuncture point on the top of the person's head, but once she is pierced, the pinhole is very small and covered by thick hair, and the cause of death cannot be detected by ordinary people. Nangong Mo took out a handkerchief, took the silver needle in Liu Han's hand and hugged it, looked at it for a moment, and then glanced at the Zhao family's father and son. If such a silver needle wants to be completely sent into the acupuncture points on the top of a person's head, it cannot be done without a certain internal force foundation. Obviously, the father and son in front of them can't do it at all. Looking at Zhao Gongzi's shocked look again, it was obvious that he didn't know the real cause of this woman's death. So... Is it being taken advantage of?

But... Now that you're here, don't try to get out happily. Nangong Mo put away the silver needle and said to the guards beside him: "Go to the yamen to beat the drum, the lord of this county will tell Zhao Gongzi to kill the concubine and blame others." ”

"Yes, County Lord." One of the guards nodded and quickly turned away. The people around were also shocked by this sudden reversal, and looked at the people in front of them blankly.

That Zhao Gongzi's face turned red with anger, and he scolded angrily: "You are talking nonsense! Slander! ”

Nangong Mo frowned and smiled, "Slander? Zhao Gongzi, you carry the corpse to block my door without any evidence, it is called slander, the county lord... This is called caring about local security and people's feelings, and sharing worries for the imperial court. If you have anything to say, Zhao Gongzi went to the yamen to tell the county order. Zhao Gongzi didn't worry about himself much, but such a scene was really a slap in the face, "Who dare!" ”

Nangong Mo looked at General Zhao with a smile and raised his eyebrows, "General Zhao, do you want to say who dares to say it?" Or is it... If the county lord's people commit something, they will be killed and killed, so that the prince can sit back and relax? It is not a good thing that only the governor is allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light the lamps. ”

General Zhao gritted his teeth and said with a gloomy face: "Take Gongzi to Yamen!" ”

"Daddy......"

"Shut up!" General Zhao said angrily. Before he could say anything, an anxious voice came, "General, it's not good! The fourth son has just been trampled by a horse and broke his leg! ”

"What!" Hearing this, General Zhao's face suddenly changed greatly.
