Chapter 944: Key Person
After some intense lingering, Guo Song finally relaxed, and a faint voice came from the black waterfall-like hair next to him, "The master hasn't come to see me for a long time?" ”
"I went to Hebei, I thought you knew." Guo Song said lightly.
"I actually know, it's just.... I should follow, believing that I can help my master, but unfortunately I..."
Guo Song hugged the plump jade muscles around him with a little rudeness, and once again fiercely attacked, and it took a full quarter of an hour to relax.
"Now you don't have any complaints!" Guo Song said with a smile.
Ying Caihe was almost paralyzed, she couldn't say a word, and after a while, she asked in a low voice, "What does the master need me to do?" ”
It doesn't take too much brainpower to talk to this smart woman, Guo Song nodded and said, "I want you to go to Chengdu!" ”
.........
The imperial physician Wang Shoude has been hiding like a dog in a dilapidated City God Temple for three days.
He knew that Ju Wenzhen would not let him go, so after prescribing the last prescription to Li Xiu, the Son of Heaven, he escaped from the palace under the pretext of taking medicine, and that night, the news of the death of the Son of Heaven came.
Wang Shoude hadn't eaten for three days, he was extremely hungry, and this afternoon, he almost snatched a dry cake from a child's hand, but he still held back, he knew how much trouble it would cause, maybe he couldn't save his life.
But what made him even more unbearable than hunger was the current situation of his wife and children, whether they were still alive or had been affected by themselves?
Wang Shoude finally couldn't bear it anymore, and at night, he quietly slipped to the house of another imperial doctor, Zhang Ji, who was ten years younger than him, and was still half of his apprentice, and the two usually had a very good relationship.
When Zhang Ji opened the courtyard door and saw that the unkempt man outside was Wang Shoude, he was immediately taken aback and hurriedly pulled Wang Shoude in.
"You're still in Chengdu, I thought you had escaped."
Wang Shoude smiled bitterly and said, "I hope to escape, but I can't!" ”
He waved his hand again, "Don't talk about that, give me something to eat, I'm going to starve to death." ”
Zhang Ji hurriedly took him to his study and arranged for his wife to bring some food and drink, and after a while, his wife brought a few pieces of meatloaf and a bowl of water, Wang Shoude was very hungry and devoured it.
Zhang Ji looked at him with a cloudy face on the side, Ju Wenzhen offered a reward of 3,000 taels of silver to capture Wang Shoude, and he could be promoted to two levels, this temptation was too great, but Wang Shoude was half of his master, and betraying him, the threshold of his conscience was a little difficult to pass.
Wang Shoude poured a few more mouthfuls of water, and his stomach finally eased up.
"Xiao Zhang, how are my wife and children?"
Zhang Ji sighed and said, "I only know that they have been arrested, but I don't know what their situation is now." ”
Wang Shoude shed tears of pain, and his voice choked, "It's me who is sorry for them, it's me who hurt them." ”
He suddenly took Zhang Ji's hand and said, "Please, you can help me inquire, are they still alive?" ”
Zhang Ji slowly closed his eyes and nodded, "Okay!" I'll go into the palace to inquire for you, and you can live in my study with peace of mind, don't run around, there are spies from Zuoyintai everywhere outside. ”
Wang Shoude's voice was so choked that he couldn't speak, and he gave up his hand again and again.
Zhang Ji prepared some food and water for him, and then hurried away.
Wang Shoude sat in the study for a long time, silently enduring the torment in his heart, at this time, there was a knock on the door outside, Wang Shoude quickly stood up, and it turned out to be the voice of Zhang Ji's wife outside.
"Imperial Doctor Wang, you should run away quickly!"
Wang Shoude was stunned, "Brother and sister, what do you say?" ”
"My husband told me today that Ju Wenzhen offered a reward of 3,000 taels of silver to catch you, and you can be promoted to two levels, I know my husband, he will definitely not be able to resist the temptation of being promoted to become rich, you should leave quickly!"
Zhang Ji's wife's words were like a basin of cold water pouring down from his head, Wang Shoude was stunned, he suddenly reacted, put a few pieces of cake into his arms, opened the door in a panic and came out, Zhang Ji's wife had already hid in the house, she whispered in the house: "You can go over the wall from the backyard, there is an alley over there." ”
Wang Shoude hurriedly ran to the backyard, climbed over the low wall in the backyard, and ran towards the alley.
Half an hour later, Zhang Ji appeared at the door of his house with dozens of Zuoyintai warriors, and the samurai leader waved his hand, and everyone scattered to surround Zhang Ji's house.
In an alley opposite, Wang Shoude saw this scene clearly, and he couldn't help but be discouraged in his heart, turned around and ran into the depths of the alley.
........
Five days later, at the Ping'an Inn in Chengdu Nancheng, Song Tian, the deputy commander of the Jinwei Mansion who had just arrived in Chengdu, listened to the report of Yang Xiuying, the leader of the intelligence point, and he was really excited: "Can you be sure that Wang Shoude has not been caught?" ”
Yang Xiuying nodded, "The news of the humble position is exact, he did escape and was not caught, but his wife and children were arrested, and his life and death are unknown, and now the warriors of Zuoyintai are arresting Wang Shoude everywhere, and the internal reward has been raised to five thousand taels of silver." ”
"Did you go looking for him, then?"
"Of course we are also looking for it, we are providing information through beggars and gangsters in Chengdu, and they have given a reward of fifty taels of silver."
Song Tian glanced at him strangely, "The other party gave a reward of five thousand taels of silver, and you only gave fifty taels of silver, will it have an effect?" ”
Yang Xiuying smiled slightly: "Their bounty is not external, only internal, such as Zuoyintai warriors, officials, imperial doctors, etc., I heard that a few days ago, there was an imperial doctor who invited merit and reported Wang Shoude, but Wang Shoude still ran away, and as a result, this imperial doctor was broken a leg and almost died, this reward is not so easy to take." ”
At this time, a subordinate hurriedly walked over from the hall, bowed down and said, "Qiqi shopkeeper, Wang Qing has news." ”
Yang Xiuying was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Where are the others?" ”
"At the City God Temple!"
Yang Xiuying said to Song Tian: "I may have discovered Wang Shoude's whereabouts, so I will bring someone over immediately." ”
"I'll go with you."
Yang Xiuying nodded and went out with a few of her subordinates.
The Ping'an Inn is not far from the City God Temple, the distance is less than two miles, they just arrived at the City God Temple, a guy flashed out from the broken wall, his name is Wang Qing, and he is also a member of the Jin Wei Mansion.
"Any news?" Yang Xiuying stepped forward and asked.
Wang Qing nodded, turned around and beckoned, "Come out!" It won't hurt you. ”
I saw a little beggar come out from behind the broken wall, about twelve or thirteen years old, with a yellow face and thin muscles, but a pair of big eyes quite clever.
He timidly stepped forward and saluted, and Wang Qing smiled: "Tell my head, what did you find?" ”
The little beggar looked back and pointed, "There is a hole behind the statue of the main god of the City God Temple, and there is a man hiding in it, he begged me for food, saying that he would repay me in the future, I think he is very similar to the person you said?" ”
Yang Xiuying glanced back at Song Tian, Song Tian nodded and said, "I'll go see him!" ”
Song Tian walked towards the City God Temple, and Yang Xiuying hurriedly arranged for two of his subordinates to follow him.
Song Tian came to the main hall and went around to the tattered statue of the main god, there was a big hole in the back, he glanced inside, and there was a faint figure squatting inside.
Song Tian sat down on a big stone opposite, and said slowly: "I came from Chang'an, if you are the imperial doctor, you come out and follow me, this is your only chance to live." ”
After a while, a hesitant voice came from inside, "Are you ..... King Jin's subordinates? ”
Song Tian smiled: "If I were from Zuoyintai, I wouldn't be so verbose with you!" ”
There was a sigh from the cave, only to see an unkempt man come out, it was Wang Shoude, he had nowhere to go, or hide back in the City God Temple, these days, hunger tortured him beyond recognition, his hair and beard were knotted, maybe this is also the effect he wants, not to let others recognize him.
"I am the Imperial Physician Wang Shoude!" He said hoarsely.
.........
In the evening, Yang Xiuying hurriedly came back from outside, walked into the inner courtyard room, and said to Song Tian: "I have heard that his wife and children are not dead yet, and they are locked up in the palace, and the other party may mean that he wants him to turn himself in and exchange for the lives of his wife and children!" ”
"Is there a way to get his wife and children out?" Song Tian asked.
Yang Xiuying shook her head, "It's not that you don't do your best, it's really unrealistic!" ”
Song Tian was a little embarrassed, in order for Wang Shoude to fully cooperate with them, he had to get his wife and children out, he was silent for a moment, and had to sigh and said, "It seems that I can only ask her to make a move!" ”
Song Tian hurriedly came to the front of a single courtyard at the back, he patted the door knocker, and in a moment, the door opened, revealing the face of a young girl, Song Tian arched his hand, "I'm looking for your master!" ”
The girl opened the door a crack, Song Tian flashed in, and the door behind closed immediately.
He came to a room, bowed down and said, "I'm Song Tian, I have something to ask my aunt for help!" ”
"Say it!" Ying Caihe's calm voice came from the room.
"What do you need me to do?"
