Chapter 19: The people do not fight with the officials

"Hu Gongzi, are you done asking?"

"Hello, no problem."

"Then I'm one step ahead, the saint is still waiting for news, I don't dare to slack off."

Lin Janissaries left the post house, apparently going to the palace, and there were still a few guards left in the post house to continue to take care of them.

But why didn't he just leave? Just wait for me?

……

"Little Fanzi, let's go. Qian Zhutou, you haven't eaten in the morning, and the yamen probably doesn't have a big case, so go eat something with us? ”

"It's... Okay, Master Hu. ”

Qian Zhutou thought for a moment and agreed.

"Master Hu, how is the investigation? I just heard some movement down there, but the guards wouldn't let me go up, what was going on? ”

"A Celestial Empire ninja, making a move."

"Celestial Empire, oh~ it's someone from that place."

"The murderer is not Chen Li, but this Heavenly Dynasty ninja should be the accomplice of the murderer who killed Lord Wei."

"This is the hidden weapon used by the ninjas of the Heavenly Dynasty, and it may have been quenched with poison, you can see what kind of poison it is."

Hu Xiu took out a gauze towel from the placket, the gauze seemed to be wrapped in something, and when he opened it, it was the same thing as two steel needles. This is something he finally got from Lin Xiwei, soft grinding and hard bubbles.

"Okay."

Qian Zhutou took it carefully, gently touched the steel needle, his nose was slightly closer, sniffed, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"Master Hu, this poison is called [See Blood Sealed Throat]......"

"What? See blood seal the throat? ”

Hu Xiu interrupted Qian Zhutou's words.

"That's right, it's [seeing blood to seal the throat], weapons that have been quenched by this poison will generally be emerald green, and the place where the poison is quenched will be rough to the touch, and the smell of poison has a special fishy smell. I wouldn't be mistaken for this fishy smell, after all, ......"

"After all, a lot of officials died last night, and they were all poisoned by this kind of poison, you are familiar with it, right?"

"Yes, Master Hu."

"Have you ever doubted that this case will be related to the case of officials being poisoned?"

"Uh... I don't have any suspicions, after all, there is no evidence. ”

~

yes, after all, there is no evidence......

"Let's go, find a place, let's eat. Tomorrow, I will go to Linglong Pavilion to see that Hua Sixteen, Lord Wei's case can be over, and no matter how desperately I stare at the post house, I won't find anything. ”

Hu Xiu waved his hand, ready to find a random restaurant and eat a bite.

Suzaku Street, the corner of the street is called Wangsheng's house.

The shop is small, and the guests are in twos and threes, and yes, at this time period, people who don't have any spare money at home will not come here to eat.

Hu Xiu casually found a place and sat down, but the little guy was also forced to sit down by him on the grounds that he didn't want to reveal his identity.

"Boss"

"Yo, guest officer, what do you want to eat?"

"What's the sign in your store?"

"Our meat buns, pork and egg soup, and noodle soup are all very good."

"Okay, then according to the few things you just said, three portions."

Hu Xiu is rich and rich, and he is not short of money.

"Okay! Wait a minute, and the food will be served immediately. ”

The boss wiped the table quickly and walked away quickly.

It didn't take long for the food to be served.

"Boss, this small restaurant is very good, let's just say that this environment is quite good-looking."

Hu Xiu pointed to the "painting" hanging on the wall, which showed an animal grazing on the grass.

"It's beautiful there, these embroidery paintings, all of which are my family's unfinished girl who has nothing to do at home, and I got it out casually, and the person in my house said that I could hang it in the store, and I hung it up."

Although he didn't care about what he said, the smile on his face was full.

After chatting with the boss for a while, a few more guests came in the tavern, and he went to entertain him again.

Everyone also started eating, a mouthful of meat buns, a mouthful of meat and egg soup, and a mouthful of noodles.

This little restaurant is really real, and it's a lot.

……

"Boss!"

The food was fragrant, and suddenly two people came to the door of the restaurant, dressed in flowing air, looking like an ancient version of the bad youth, taking a figure-eight step, and came in.

"Boss, come here!"

The owner of the hotel walked over quickly, looking a little afraid of the young man in front of him.

"Eat, according to yesterday's top."

"But... But you haven't paid for yesterday's meal. ”

"Will give, will give, why are you so verbose, let you go, you will go."

Two young people, quite impatient.

Hu Xiu put down the chopsticks when the two of them came in, and listening to what they said, didn't these two people just want to eat the overlord meal!

"You two, it seems that you are not doing things like this."

Although it is said that one more thing is better than one less thing, but when encountering such a bullying thing, Hu Xiu still has to take care of it.

I don't expect that there is nothing unequal in the world, but I want to have a clear conscience, since I have the ability to manage, then I should take the responsibility.

"Who are you! Dare to meddle with our affairs, don't think that if you wear a black dress and a sword at your waist, you will think that you are a chivalrous man! ”

These two people are really rushing, and they haven't said much, their temper is just coming up.

"Hmph, Qian catches the head, here, someone doesn't give money for dinner, don't you yamen take care of it? Why don't you send them to a cell and lock them up for a few days, maybe when they come out, they will be honest! ”

Hu Xiu snorted coldly, like this kind of person, he is too lazy to do it himself, and he is low.

The two second-rate people looked in the direction of the shouting, and as soon as they saw Qian Zhutou wearing official clothes, their faces immediately softened.

As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, that's the truth, this kind of people bully and bully the common people at most, and when they encounter officials, of course they are like rabbits.

"Oh~ Don't, my lord, I owe it to my mouth, and I said something unpleasant, don't mind, I'll make amends to you."

The two of them had beads of sweat on their foreheads, and when they raised their hands, they slapped themselves in the face.

"Okay, okay, it's useless for you to fan yourself more, the courier will pay back the food money owed to them."

"Okay, okay, I'll pay it back."

The two of them hurriedly took out their money bags, deducted a silver nugget, and put it on the table. Seeing that Hu Xiu and Qian Zhutou didn't mean to do anything more, they tiptoed and wanted to leave.

"Stop!"

"My lord, do you have anything else to order?"

The two of them smiled and turned their heads.

"Don't come to this small restaurant to make trouble in the future, I will come to this small restaurant often in the future. If I let me know that you two dare to come here, then don't really blame me and throw you in a cell for a few years! ”

Hu Xiu's expression was vicious, but he was really afraid that these two people would come back to take revenge. This is so afraid that he is not afraid of such a small night, but what if they take revenge on the owner and proprietress of this hotel?

The store still has to be open all the time, and they still have to open a store to do business to support the family's livelihood, and if these two gangsters really want to find trouble, they can't hide.

"Uh-huh, understood, sir."

The two of them couldn't stop nodding.

"Okay, then let's go."

The two of them seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and walked away.

……

"Thank you, thank you, for helping to drive those two away, otherwise this time, they will have to eat another meal of white food."

"The two of them, often come to your place to eat, and don't give money?"

"Almost, every once in a while, it will come."

"Although they ran away, it was because I was here, if they don't die in the future, and they still want to come here to eat white food, or make trouble, you can come to King Hu's mansion to find me."

"Hu... Hu Wangfu? ”

"The grass people knock on the prince."

The boss bowed his head and bowed.

"Alas, don't kneel, I'm just Hu Feiwei, the son of Hu Wangye, Hu Xiu."

"Isn't your lord a prince?"

"It's not."

Hu Xiu was a little helpless by this worship, the ancients were not very particular about men having gold under their knees?

"After that, it will also be the prince, and my worship can be regarded as an early worship."

"You must have come from out of town."

"Yes, I came from other places, in the Fujian border of Hu State, I was originally a herdsman. I came to Ping'an City to find a relative for my daughter. ”

"Loved ones? Is it your father or mother? If I can't find anyone, I might be able to help. ”

"No, no, my lord, I don't bother you."

The boss's head shook like a rattle.

"Alright then, we're almost ready, how much is it?"

Hu Xiu doesn't force it, no one wants you to find it, do you want to put a hot face on a cold ass?

"Alas, I can't let you pay, it's just a small shop, and the adults didn't eat much just now, so forget it, you don't have to pay."

"You have to pay for less, how much is it?"

"One meat bun is four yuan, the meat and egg soup is three yuan, and the noodle soup is two yuan."

"It's a total of twenty-seven Wen, Xiao Fanzi, come and pay, if you can't finish the noodle soup, don't eat it, just eat it hard, it's not good."

The copper coins that were exchanged at Cao Han Winery came in handy.

The little guy obviously couldn't eat it anymore, but he was still stuffing the noodle soup into his mouth, and he wasn't afraid of choking to death.

"My lord, is it so good at arithmetic? The price of these twenty-seven texts is directly calculated? ”

"Huh??"

Forehead... Is that hard to count? (2+3+4)×3=27, this is not a very simple math problem, even the upper elementary school students can mentally calculate the math problem.

……

It was another troublesome politeness, and when he left the restaurant, he caught his head with money, and left on the grounds that he wanted to go back to the yamen. Alas, this is a rigid middle-aged uncle, who didn't even talk about being obedient, and left directly.

"Childe, what are we going to do next?"

"Now go back to King Hu's Mansion first, wake up in a few days and go out to work, you have to give me some vacation time!"

"Okay, Childe."

"Well, wait, is there a pharmacy around here?"

"Hmm... It seems that there is a pharmacy. ”

"Let's go first, I have something to buy."

~

"[Jishitang], why is this name a little familiar."

Looking up at the plaque, I seem to have heard these three words somewhere.

"When Childe rescued Miss Gao before, the doctor he met was the doctor in Jishitang."

"Oh~ It's what Jishitang Doctor Zhang, right?"

Hu Xiu walked in with the little maid, it was also a coincidence, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Doctor Zhang that day, sitting at the door of the main hall, taking the pulse and seeing a doctor.

really said that Cao Cao Cao will arrive.

Walk quickly to the medicine cabinet and take out a piece of paper from the placket.

"Is there anyone, I want to buy some medicinal herbs."

There was no one at the front desk, so Hu Xiu shouted to the back.

"Here, officer, what do you want?"

A young man in his twenties, dressed as a medicine boy, walked out from behind.

"According to the medicinal herbs written on this, take it and give it to me."

"Ginseng has to be counted, press more to take, the higher the year, the better, as well as Codonopsis, Astragalus, Rehman, Ejiao, Mint, Zhimu, Rhubarb...... Sixteen taels each? ”

(Sixteen taels weigh one catty)

The medicine boy was dumbfounded, when did the Chinese medicine be sold according to the two? Moreover, half of the medicinal materials required are traditional Chinese medicine that replenishes qi and blood, and the exception half is cold.

"Guest officer, although this Chinese medicine is good, you can't eat it indiscriminately."

"It's okay, you can get it for me, I have the formula, you just take the medicine."

"That's right, well, how many years does the guest ginseng year take?"

"How many years are there for you?"

"If it's common, it's a year to a hundred years old, but it's always available in the store, but if it's more than a hundred years, you have to transfer it from elsewhere."

Is ginseng less than 100 years old common?

Ancient ginseng was all over the ground?

"No, just give me ten years of ginseng."

"Okay, guest officer, you wait a minute, I'll go get the medicine."

The medicine boy skillfully flipped through the medicine cabinet, took out the medicinal materials he wanted, weighed them one by one, and wrapped them in reed paper.

"That's all, the guest officer didn't say, I asked for a few ginsengs, so I took five."

"Okay, how much silver do you cost?"

"Twenty two."

The medicine boy held out two fingers.

"Xiao Fan, pay."

Suzaku Street, on the way back to the prince's mansion.

"Childe, what do you want so many medicinal herbs for? It took a lot of money. ”

"It's the child's money that was spent, what are you feeling sorry for? Besides, I'm not indiscriminate, but these herbs are very useful. ”
