Chapter 56: Night Walking

At night, the moon rabbit has not risen, the sky is full of stars, Yecheng under the starlight is like a sleeping coiling dragon, the palace shining with sporadic lights is the dragon's head, the city of the chessboard layout is the entwined dragon body, and the scales are lined up and the lights are all like dragon scales. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Between the dragon scales, there is a little firelight swimming, like fireflies around the coiling dragon, wandering around erratically, reflecting a different scenery.

It is the torches lit by the night patrol team, patrolling the streets everywhere, after nightfall, whether it is the state or the capital, will enforce the curfew, the night patrol team will be on duty all night, if there is a night walker immediately come forward to stop the investigation, if there is no legitimate reason such as official business, medical practice, etc., they will be locked and taken to the Qiuguanfu prison.

The leader of the team to patrol the night is Si Mei, who belongs to the autumn official, Si Mei has a sergeant for the two lives, and there are also corporal for the first life, "Zhou Li" said: When the Si Mei clan is in charge of the night, the night is divided by the stars, and the night is forbidden by the edict of the night warrior, the morning walker, the night walker, and the night traveler.

In short, Si Mei led people to patrol the night and implement the curfew system, but the rank was very low, and it was okay in the state and county.

Therefore, in order to do a good job as a secretary, not only must be loyal to one's duties, but also have good eyesight and well-informed, especially the high-ranking officials and nobles in the city, and the high-ranking families, one by one, must be remembered clearly, lest they lose their official positions and resign the next day after being selfless that night.

Especially in the neighborhood where the magnates live, you should be especially careful, even if it is a drunk who walks at night, maybe it is the child of a powerful person's mansion, or a relative who is around and around, and he can only consider himself unlucky when he is stopped and beaten by the other party.

If you fight back, you have a good look, even a dog in the nobleman's house can't hurt it, let alone a person, but it's not a matter if you don't check it when you see people walking at night, so how to 'do both' to avoid everyone's bad luck when patrolling at night, a qualified secretary is essential.

In the southwest corner of Yenan City, a horse-drawn carriage drove on the street, with lanterns hanging in front of the car, and more than a dozen attendants holding torches to escort them.

When passing through an intersection, the group was quickly spotted by the night patrol, and they shouted and chased after them, but when they saw such a blatant night walker, coming from the rich and dense Li Fang group, they were secretly vigilant in their hearts.

Si Mei, who was about forty years old, glanced at the lantern hanging on the carriage, and knew what the word "doctor" was written on it.

"My lord Lang was on the go, and he was supposed to rush back to the mansion before the curfew, but the big Sima was hospitable, so I delayed the hour, please forgive me." A man in the car said, neither humble nor arrogant, and made the stakes clear in an understatement.

Visiting the doctor, Da Sima, these two words say it all, the other party is going to the house of the powerful, but the hospitality is delayed, if you take people indiscriminately, then you won't be able to eat tomorrow and go around.

Of course, don't try to bluff the night patrol with just one sentence, they have seen a lot of scenes, and they won't be fooled by one or two sentences, but Si Mei is also happy, nodding and letting people go.

Seeing the carriage gradually moving away, a night watchman cautiously asked, "Si Mei, let them go like this?" In case someone cheats, how can it be good to pull the tiger skin to make a banner? ”

"So you have to practice more and have a longer memory, don't know how to eat, drink, gamble, and sleep lazy!" Si Mei reprimanded, "Have you seen all the lanterns on the carriage?" ”

"See." The crowd said.

"Do you see what the people in the car do?"

"Si Mei, I can't read..."

"Remember graphics if you can't read!! That's the word 'doctor', and there's a doctor sitting in it! ”

"But... But we didn't check the carriage just now, how do we know if it's a person or a dog inside..."

"So recognize people! The one who spoke just now was the housekeeper in Imperial Physician Li's mansion, who was sitting inside and still had to think about it! ”

As soon as he heard that it was the imperial doctor, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, but some people still couldn't figure it out, he asked the imperial doctor if he didn't live in the palace to treat the emperor, how could he go out for a consultation.

"There is more than one imperial doctor, several imperial doctors take turns to be on duty in the palace, and the others are resting in the palace outside the palace." Si Mei said, "Those who can be imperial doctors must have superb medical skills, and the nobles in the city have a headache and brain fever, so naturally they have to ask the imperial doctor to check the pulse and prescribe a prescription or something." ”

Many of the people who patrol the night tonight are newcomers who have just entered the industry, so Si Mei has to mention a few words, Fang Cai that Imperial Doctor Li has superb medical skills, and he is often invited by nobles to see a doctor in the house, and he often walks at night, so he also knows a few 'acquaintances' who accompany him.

"These imperial doctors, doctors or something, you should be polite when you meet them at night in the future, not to mention anything else, there are countless officials who have a relationship with them, and it is as easy as pinching an ant to death if any one of them kills us."

A 'chance encounter' ended like this, those who patrol the night continue to patrol the night, and those who walk the night road continue to walk the night road, the two have nothing to do with each other, and the carriage of Imperial Doctor Li came to the northwest corner of the south city and stopped outside the gate of a house.

"Lord Lang is back!" The attendant shouted in a low voice while knocking on the door, and after a while, the door opened, and a middle-aged man got out of the car and walked directly into the door, followed by a young man in a green coat and a small hat carrying a wooden box.

About twenty paces away, in the dark corner of the street, Zhang Dingfa, dressed in gray-black night clothes, was quietly watching this scene, followed by one person, and two cats in the corner in the distance.

There was no moonlight, and the figure twenty paces away in the night looked a little blurry, but Zhang Dingfa's eyes were as bright as an owl, and he kept watching the movement at the gate of the courtyard in front of him.

After about a stick of incense after the door was closed, Zhang Dingfa relaxed from the state of being settled, he made a gesture, led the people around him to retreat backwards, and connected the two people in the rear, and disappeared into the Yecheng street in the night.

。。。。。。

In the palace, Yu Wenwen was doing push-ups in the residence, he was shirtless and only wearing trousers, sweating profusely, and the light of the oil lamp was swaying, reflecting his figure very strangely.

He is not a fitness maniac, but because he has no other way to vent his energy, he can only rely on exercise to consume excess energy, and when he is too tired to move, he can wash and sleep.

Yu Wenwen has been very busy, busy with official business and military affairs during the day, and when he returns to the house, he is not empty at night, and the beauties on the pillow are full of style, although he may not fight overnight, but it has become a habit to fall asleep with his wife and concubine in his arms, of course, he will not be unable to sleep without a woman by his side when leading the army.

When there is a war, both yin and beware of being yin, the head is constantly thinking about things, and there are many things to do such as checking posts, patrolling the camp, and sampling food, so Yu Wenwen has no heart to think about women, and he does not allow women to appear in the barracks.

There is no war on weekdays, and he also goes to the barracks from time to time to spend the night with his soldiers, and then he is a trick toss, and he is busy gathering at night every night, or checking rooms and posts, and he also has no heart to think about women at this time.

But the 'business trip' is different, there are no soldiers to toss him, and his wife and concubine are not around, Yuwenwen is now the age of blood and strength, and it has been almost two months since he went out, and yesterday he saw the strength of the "men of the Wei Chi family", and there is nowhere to vent his anger.

It's not impossible to divert attention, it's very effective to think about it, but Yuwenwen was afraid that he would think too much and go crazy and become neurotic, so he didn't choose this method.

He didn't think to ask "if there are prostitutes in the city", and he didn't plan to solve the problem with the five girls, so he could only use physical exercise to burn off excess energy in order to get a good night's sleep.

Tossed I don't know how many sets of push-ups and sit-ups, Yuwenwen was finally so tired that he almost couldn't get up, Zhang Yu, who was waiting outside the door, called hot water, he took a good hot shower, changed his clothes but didn't go to bed, but read at night by the bookcase.

I don't know how long it took, there was a sound of talking outside the room, and after a while, the door opened and a person walked in, Yu Wenwen looked up and then nodded and said, "Sit down." ”

The person who came was Zhang Dingfa, the leader of the guards, who was dressed in gray and black night clothes, and looked hurried, and when he saw Yu Wenwen looking at him, he began to report: "Lang Jun, I just tracked all the way and found no abnormality. ”

"What do you think?" Yu Wenwen asked.

"It's hard to say, this Imperial Doctor Li has a lot of contacts with the powerful people in the city, and there are not a few people who go to the clinic, and I can't see anything from my actions for a few days."

"Could it be that my father is thinking too much?" Yu Wenwen frowned, he had already made a deal with Zhang Dingfa, and ordered him to privately track down the imperial doctor Li who prescribed medicine, and Zhang Dingfa was carrying out a "secret mission" day and night for several days in a row.

"This... It can only be said that the heart of defense is indispensable. Zhang Dingfa replied, he heard Yu Wenwen say that the strange medicine of the Western Regions Diyejia will make people addicted if they take it for a long time, and Imperial Doctor Li gave him Diyejia, I don't know if it was unintentional or intentional, so he was also worried that someone was planning behind the scenes to deal with Yuwenwen.

It's just that there is no conclusive evidence, and it is not enough to just chase the wind and draw conclusions, so it has to be fully traced to find clues.

Is there someone who wants to deal with him, Yuwen Wen is not very sure, so he is also thinking about various possibilities, and after a while, he asked: "What powerful families have Imperial Doctor Li been to during this time?" ”

"I've written it down." Zhang Dingfa nodded, he saw Yu Wenwen's appearance, hesitated for a moment and said, "Lang Jun seems to be quite tired, why don't you see it tomorrow?" ”

"Does Ben Gong look haggard?" Yu Wenwen touched his cheeks, and seeing Zhang Dingfa's worried look, he smiled: "In that case, let's talk about it tomorrow, Leader Zhang should also have a good rest." ”

"Lang Jun, there are a lot of people walking around here on weekdays on Imperial Doctor Li's side, but I'm afraid it's useless to follow him like this, after all, what he said in someone else's house, I don't know."

"What do you mean?"

"Lang Jun, since Di Yejia is a miracle medicine in the Western Regions, there are not many of them, if Imperial Doctor Li wants to use medicine, it must be taken out from the palace treasury, if Lang Jun can explore the inventory of medicines, such as which imperial medicine is more than that, maybe he can have some clues."

"This matter is easy, I am afraid of startling the snake, so I can only slowly figure it out." (To be continued.) )
