Chapter X

87_87272Su Jiming's illness finally didn't come up with any way, Xiong Lai also left, and the people in the house were all six gods and no masters, and they went everywhere to invite people.

At this moment, Zhang Xiwen returned. He saw that the people all over the yard were busy, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Su Yan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: "My son-in-law is sick, I invited a lot of doctors to come and see him, and I took the medicine, but it still doesn't work." ”

Su Jiming has actually been sick for a few days, a few days ago he was not feeling well, and thought that he had not rested well recently, so he didn't take it to heart, he still went out to listen to music, and he got up every morning with a headache and stomach pain, he thought it was because of his hangover, and he didn't care, today it was because many diseases broke out together, so it was so menacing.

Zhang Xiwen said: "I'll take a look." ”

After Zhang Xiwen entered the house, he checked Su Jiming's pulse, asked him about his situation, and said, "Let me try." ”

Su Yan was surprised: "You also know how to heal?" ”

Zhang Xiwen bowed his head and explained: "My mother used to be a doctor in the clan, and I learned some fur from her. Master Su's disease is like miasma poisoning, and our Li people have their own set of means to treat this disease. ”

Su Yan was skeptical, but there was no other way at this time. Zhang Xiwen prescribed a few flavors of medicinal herbs and asked Su Yan to get them, Su Yan took his prescription, first secretly looked for other doctors, and the other doctors said that the prescription was fine, so he went to buy the medicine.

Su Jiming drank the medicine prescribed by Zhang Xiwen, and Zhang Xiwen pricked a needle to release some poisonous blood for him, so he was much more stable, and he fell asleep not long after.

When Su Jiming woke up the next day, the fever had subsided by half, and the uncomfortable symptoms had been reduced a lot. Su Yan slept beside Su Jiming's bed and waited for him, after dawn, he touched Su Jiming's forehead, felt that it was not hot, and looked at his face, there was also blood, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "That Zhang Xiwen really has a hand." ”

Su Jiming said in a hoarse voice: "Their local people, about this kind of problem has been seen a lot, so there is a way." ”

Su Yan went to prepare breakfast for Su Jiming, and Su Jiming came to his senses, so he sat up and grabbed a book to read. Not long after Su Yan went out, Zhang Xiwen came in with a bowl of medicine and pushed the door. He saw that Su Ji was much more remarkable, and asked, "How does Master Su feel?" ”

Su Jiming put down the book and said with a smile: "Thank you for your medicine, I feel much better." ”

Zhang Xiwen handed him the medicine, and he took it and drank it. No matter what Wei Qiong's purpose was for placing people by his side, in short, Wei Qiong had no reason to harm his life, and Su Jiming was very relieved.

After taking the medicine, Su Jiming asked, "Where did you go yesterday?" ”

Zhang Xiwen said: "The Special Envoy's Mansion." ”

Su Jiming raised his eyebrows slightly, Zhang Xiwen would be so sincere, but it was a little unexpected for him to be so sincere. Report his whereabouts to Wei Qiong, why do you have to hide it, right?

Zhang Xiwen saw that Su Jiming's clothes were half open, and a pendant with horns was exposed around his neck, his eyes were surprised, and he actually reached out to take it: "This ......"

Before his fingers touched Su Jiming, Su Jiming dodged unhappily. Even if Zhang Xiwen cured his illness, this kind of behavior would be arrogant.

Zhang Xiwen hurriedly said: "I'm sorry Master Su, my subordinates just think that this thing doesn't look like something worn by Han people, so I was curious and offended." ”

Su Jiming's face was a little pale, and he touched the horn pendant, but he didn't take it out to show Zhang Xiwen, but hid it in his clothes. This is the only thing he still has on his body after returning from Danzhou, it was given to him by Xiwu, and the reason he gave himself was that this thing can repel insects and snakes is very practical, so he didn't lose it. For some inexplicable reasons, he doesn't like to share it with others.

Zhang Xiwen's eyes stopped on the horn pendant, and finally moved away. He continued the topic and said, "My subordinates are going back to the envoy's mansion to visit relatives, and I happened to hear about something, Lord Wei asked me to tell my lord, but my lord was sick yesterday, and I didn't say it immediately." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Bu Tian has been caught."

"What?" Su Jiming was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a while. Bu Tian is the leader of the Miao tribe who launched a rebellion in Lingnan more than a year ago, when the war subsided, he fled, and has not been whereabouts, some people guess that he fled to Hainan, anyway, Su Jiming has never seen him in Hainan, and he has never cared about him at all.

"Bu Tian?" Su Jiming asked, "Where were you caught?" ”

"In the south of the city." Zhang Xiwen said, "When someone saw him haunting the south of the city, they immediately reported to the officials, and the officers and soldiers successfully arrested him." Now he's in prison. ”

"Oh." Su Jiming nodded, "It's good to catch it." ”

He didn't care much, it had nothing to do with him anyway, and he didn't say anything after asking casually. Zhang Xiwen didn't have anything to say, so he withdrew.

Zhang Xiwen's medicine did have a miraculous effect, and Su Jiming's body was almost recovered after two days of recuperation. When he was seriously ill, he didn't dare to indulge anymore, and he didn't go out to drink, so he sat in the yard during the day to bask in the sun and read books.

Su Yan came in from outside, and Su Jiming said: "You came just in time, come to help me study ink, I want to write a letter." ”

Su Yan hurriedly entered the room and took out all the four treasures of the study, and asked while adjusting the ink, "Who did the son write to?" ”

"Letter from home."

Su Jiming's mother died not long after he was born, and his father was gone a few years ago, leaving an old grandmother in the family, who was the only person he couldn't let go of when he left Beijing. I was trapped in Danzhou for a year, and I don't know what happened to my grandmother, but fortunately, Wei Qiong told him that Su Jiming's grandmother was still fine when he left Beijing. As soon as Su Jiming settled down, he wrote a letter to his grandmother to report that he was safe, Huizhou is a long way from the capital, and the first letter should not have arrived, but after being sick for a few days, he has some new feelings and can't help but write it down.

Su Yan adjusted the ink and said, "In the past two days, people outside have been discussing the matter of Bu Tian. ”

"Yes." Su Jiming asked casually, "When does Qin Chun plan to kill him?" ”

"I don't know."

Lingnan is not a place to live in peace, and there will inevitably be friction between foreign races and Han people, and people like Bu Tian who dare to rebel will inevitably make an example. However, he hid for a year before he was caught, and who knows if he had any new plans during this year, I am afraid that the imperial court will torture him first, force him to confess all the anti-party, and then execute him.

Su Yan said: "I heard that Na Butian is only twenty-six years old, and he dares to commit such a big crime at a young age......"

Su Jiming snorted lightly: "Young and frivolous, self-righteous." ”

After writing the letter to his family, Su Jiming folded the letter and put it in an envelope, and overheard the report from his subordinates: "The special envoy is here." ”

Su Jiming was a little surprised, straightened his clothes, and Wei Qiong had already walked into the backyard.

"How's your body?" Wei Qiong sat down opposite Su Jiming with a big grin and looked him up and down, "It looks like it's recovered a lot." ”

Su Jiming smiled: "Thank you Brother Wei for sending me a miracle doctor." ”

Zhang Xiwen also followed Wei Qiong into the courtyard, and after hearing this, Wei Qiong glanced back at him and said, "Don't underestimate him, he does have some ability, so I will send him to you." If there is any need, send him to be. ”

The two chatted for a few words, and Wei Qiong saw that Su was clear that there was no big problem, and said in a reproachful tone: "I thought that you had just come back from Danzhou, and your body needed some time to recuperate, and the knot in your heart also needed some time to untie, so I didn't send you official business. ”

Su Jiming laughed dryly. He is in this place, there is no emperor's order for the time being, he can't return to Beijing, and he has no position, so he has nothing to do, so he has to drink a little wine, and he can't be blamed for this?

Wei Qiong said: "If you are like this, I might as well send you something to do, and I won't bury your talents." ”

Su Jiming was a little surprised, and immediately raised his eyes to look at Wei Qiong: "Let me do what?" ”

"Your official position is Danzhou, don't drive-"

Wei Qiong paused when he said this, and Su Jiming felt a little sour when he heard Danzhou, for fear that Wei Qiong would send him back again. Wei Qiong paused and continued: "Two months ago, his mother died in Huizhou, and he went home to serve filial piety, and there is no one to take the official position for the time being, so I think you will temporarily take his position and assist me in doing things." ”

"Don't drive in Huizhou?" Su Jiming frowned.

Don't be an adjutant to the governor, in charge of grain transportation, family land, water conservancy, litigation and other matters, and also have the duty of supervising the governor of the state capital, which can be regarded as half a state official. Wei Qiong is a special envoy, who can act on behalf of the imperial power, he asked Su Jiming to temporarily take this position, and then wrote a letter to inform the emperor, asking the emperor to give permission, and make a note in the ministry, and Su Jiming's temporary generation became a legitimate substitute. However, Su Jiming didn't want this official position, he just wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible. Stay in Huizhou, serve under Qin Chun, and only a sea away from the barbarians? It must have been a painful day!

Wei Qiong saw his worries, smiled and patted his hand: "Don't worry, I know you want to go back to the capital as soon as possible, with your ability, you really shouldn't be buried in Lingnan, I have already sent someone to send someone to the capital about your letter of appointment, but I am short of people now, and I want you to help me do things." It's only temporary, absolutely temporary. ”

"What do you want me to do?"

"Lingnan is a land of hundreds of Yue, the land is barbaric, full of snakes and insects, and poisonous miasma everywhere. The people of the previous dynasty dug the Meiguan Avenue to make this place communicate with the Central Plains, but for a hundred years, the Han people and the people of the hundred ethnic groups have lived in peace, and they often suffer from disasters and turmoil. The emperor sent me here in the hope that I could improve the people's livelihood and reconcile the contradictions. ”

Su Jiming nodded.

"However, I have been busy with grain transportation and water conservancy recently, and even when you are sick, I have no time to visit you until today. Qin Chun, I don't worry about him. Wei Qiong lowered his voice and sneered, "He will be unlucky sooner or later, and I have already begun to empty his authority." And he added, "I can't spare any more, and I don't have anyone else to use, so it's not good to let you go so far again." ”

Su Jiming thought in his heart that something had happened recently that Wei Qiong was too busy to call himself to take care of it, and suddenly remembered Bu Tian, who many people were talking about recently.

"First of all," Wei Qiong said, "then Bu Tian will be handed over to you for trial, you should be able to do it, right?" ”。
