Text Chapter 51 The Murder of the Rejuvenation Hall
Time flies, I don't feel that the vast water has been baked by the early summer sun, and next to the dense reeds, several boats are heading to Gujiazhuang.
Li and Bian sat in the cabin, and Gu Haotian accompanied him to talk.
"Son, my mother thinks about it, or let your second mother stay on the mountain, and now she is in charge of the restaurant and the shop, and I will stay in the village, and your father is not at ease if no one takes care of him at home."
Li and Bian came back today to pack up some soft clothes and take them to Liangshan, but Li thought that Li Zhen was at home alone and was not at ease.
"This mother doesn't need to think about it, her son has a plan, and his father will always live in the mountains in the future, if it is business, whether it is Qizhou, Yanzhou, Yunzhou, Jeju from Liangshan to take the waterway is more convenient than Gujiazhuang, Yuncheng will be handed over to the shopkeeper to take care of."
Gu Haotian wanted his father to live on the mountain and help him buy grain, and now he has more than 40,000 stones of grain from Zhengjiaji and Yishui, which is not lacking for the time being, but he still has nearly 200,000 taels of silver on hand, and the grain in this world is more reliable than silver.
"In that case, let's make a decision after consulting with your father."
Back at Gujiazhuang, it was already lunch time, and the family had a reunion dinner for a few days.
"Dad, how was the last time I asked you to ask for Dr. Gao?"
After the meal, Gu Haotian asked about the matter entrusted last time, the weather is getting hotter, and it is indeed inappropriate to have no doctor on the mountain.
"Doctor Gao himself is not very willing, but he said that he has an apprentice, he has learned seven or eight points of his ability, and the general illness cannot stop him, he can go to the mountain to serve, and his father has not allowed him, just wait for you to make up your mind."
As a well-known person in the medical industry in Yuncheng County, Dr. Gao will not leave the county seat easily, this Gu Haotian has already judged, if he really has some ability, then he can only retreat to the second, just wait until he enters the city tomorrow to negotiate.
In the afternoon, he rested for a while and went to the backyard, a few days ago, the village left twenty team members to watch the house, this time he only brought Bian Xiang and Gu Bo back, and Ma Xun stayed on the mountain to take the guard camp. Before the guard battalion, it was actually the three escort teams led by Bian Xiang, Gu Bo, and Ma Xian, and the battalion was formed a few days ago, and there were more than 90 people, but they were all veterans who followed Gu Haotian early in the morning, and they were the most trusted by them in terms of loyalty and force. He originally wanted to keep Bian Xiang on the mountain, but this guy used it himself, so he temporarily left Ma Xian, but now the mountain is so lively, Gu Bo didn't want to come down, but Ma Xiang said, I was your captain at the beginning, and you kid will forget your roots now, Gu Bo had no choice but to come down and talk about it.
"Little official, that Ma Wei is too bullying, you have to give a fair word." When Gu Bo saw Gu Haotian coming, he called Qu to come, which made Bian Xiangle unhappy.
"If you don't know what's going on, it doesn't matter if you are at home, it's okay for you to stay at home from the Gu family, otherwise, you wait to recruit another group of players in the village, and if you have practiced, you will be replaced on the mountain." Gu Haotian slapped and gave another sweet date.
"That's all right, little official." Gu Bo hurriedly responded.
This time the army was expanded on the mountain, Gu Haotian did not add people to the guard camp, he consciously wanted to recruit people in Gujiazhuang, the guard camp is the last line of defense around him, and it is also the backbone of his team in the future, he must ensure the loyalty of these people, at present, the people of Gujiazhuang are always more loyal than outsiders, Xiang Yuzhan to Wujiang is not also the children of eight hundred Jiangdong, as for the future to expand the scale, then there is his own way.
After some persuasion by Gu Haotian, more than 20 people also settled down and devoted themselves to the recruitment of substitutes. Gu Haotian finally put his mind at ease, he was also afraid that these people would be unstable and make mistakes, but now that they are good, they will stabilize the military spirit and recruit newcomers to kill two birds with one stone.
The next day, Gu Zhen, Gu Haotian and Bian Xiang took some people to the county seat, and the carriage stopped at Shilixiang and was welcomed by Zhu Gui.
"Little official, the shopkeeper Song of the grocery store next door really came to ask me to buy his shop in recent days, and I snubbed him for two days before I took it at a lower price, what did you say he said later?" Zhu Gui glanced at a few people, and continued as if offering treasures, "He said that it was all Song Abbot who was to blame, otherwise why would it be like this." ”
As expected, Gu Haotian secretly thought in his heart, and instructed Zhu Gui to focus on this person in the future, and after a while, several people went to the Rejuvenation Hall together.
The Rejuvenation Hall is in the center of the South Gate Street, and when a few people turned around from the crossroads, they saw from a distance that the people on the third floor and the outer three floors were surrounded by people at the door, and the sound of crying and scolding kept coming. Gu Haotian expected that there must be some kind of doctor-patient accident, which was not uncommon in later hospitals. Several people squeezed into the crowd, but saw a middle-aged man lying in the lobby, who was already out of breath, and several women were crying and shouting around him.
"Hey, isn't this the shopkeeper Song?" Zhu Gui was very surprised.
"That shopkeeper Song?" Gu Haotian asked casually.
"Isn't it the shopkeeper Song from the grocery store next door to the hotel?"
It turned out to be him, and several people were stunned.
"Dodge, dodge, the government does things." At this moment, there was a shouting from behind the crowd, and then several officials squeezed in, and the leader was that Zhu Tong.
"Doctor Gao, someone has accused you of fatalizing medicine, and you will go to the county government for a while." Zhu Tong said to the tall doctor.
"Wronged, this shopkeeper Song is definitely not the death of the doctor in this hall." Doctor Gao shouted incriminationly.
"Let's go to the county government and say." The official couldn't help but lift the corpse, pull the tall doctor and leave.
Let's say that the group of people passed in front of the crowd, Gu Haotian looked at the Song shopkeeper with fat head and big ears, and his face was purple, thinking that this guy would die of cerebral hemorrhage, myocardial infarction, etc., and Dr. Gao was most likely wronged.
The official errand went, the idlers dispersed, and only the crying and crying Gao family was left.
"Father, are you familiar with this Gao family?"
"Naturally acquainted."
"Let's go in and sit down." Gu Haotian had some thoughts in his heart and wanted to go in to understand some of the situation.
The arrival of Gu Zhen and several people surprised the Gao family, they didn't expect that there were still people willing to come to the door at the moment when the Gao family suffered this catastrophe, and the Gao family lady also recognized Gu Zhen, although she didn't know the intention, but she still led her to sit down in the hall.
"How did the Gao family suffer from this change, sister-in-law would like to tell me?" Gu Zhen sat down and asked.
The lady of the Gao family glanced at everyone, hesitated but did not speak.
"Sister-in-law should be suspicious, Doctor Gao and the Gu family have great favors, and we happened to encounter this matter today, but we will not wait for a turnaround." Gu Zhen saw his hesitation and said again.
"Alas, it is said that the ancient family has the name of benevolence and righteousness, and it is well deserved." The lady of the Gao family knew that Dr. Gao had a relationship with the Gu family, and she also believed in the reputation of the Gu family, so she said the reason for the incident.
Yesterday evening, a family member of the Song shopkeeper's family hurriedly came and said that the Song shopkeeper was suddenly distressed and unbearable, and asked Dr. Gao to treat the disease. Coincidentally, Dr. Gao did not return from the consultation. The family waited for a while, so they couldn't do it in a hurry, so they had to be dealt with by the guys in the hall with the usual painkillers first, and then go to diagnose them when Dr. Gao came back. But since then, no one from the Song family has come, and only in the afternoon of this day, he brought the corpse over and said that the medicine of the Huichun Hall had eaten the dead.
"Is the prescription still there?" Gu Haotian asked.
"Yes, when my grandson came back, I saw that it was put away, and said that there was nothing wrong with it."
"This matter is indeed a bit strange, and the mother doesn't need to panic, she just needs to continue to operate these days, don't let outsiders gossip, and wait for the kid to find out, and then make plans." Gu Haotian was worried that the Rejuvenation Hall would be disbanded, and he would not be able to get a few talents.
"This Xiaolang is ......" The lady of the Gao family didn't recognize Gu Haotian.
"It's a dog." Gu Zhen replied.
"It's the ancient petty official who is famous in Yuncheng, and the Gao family is saved." The lady of the Gao family cried with joy.
After some persuasion, a few people took their leave. Gu Haotian secretly confessed to Zhu Gui, Zhu Gui went first, and he instructed Bian Xiang to immediately move people to Liangshan to transfer time, and several people lived in Shilixiang that night.
At ten o'clock in the night, Zhu Gui came to Gu Haotian's room.
"Little official, as you expected, after the Song family got dark, one person quietly came out and went to Song Zhusi's house, and after a while, he went to the mansion of the county lieutenant Wu."
After the Gao family came out in the afternoon, Gu Haotian expected that the wife of the shopkeeper of Song was a woman, and no matter whether it was true or not, she would find someone to discuss, so he asked Zhu Gui to send someone to keep an eye on it, and there was really some gain.
"Then Song Zhusi should be Song Jiang, but who is the county lieutenant Wu?"
"When it comes to this person, the petty officials also know that when I was selling wine in the county, the sister of Zhang Buren, who had no way out, was his concubine. Zhu Gui gritted his teeth when he mentioned this person.
It turned out to be that person, Gu Haotian also remembered it. It's just that the woman of the Song family is understandable for looking for Song Jiang, a fellow countryman, but why did she find him again.
"You mean, that person went to Song Jiang's house first, and then went to Wu County Wei's house?"
"That's true."
Then there must be a deal between Song Jiang and Wu County Lieutenant, Gu Haotian concluded.
"Do you have any people in the county government who are talkative?"
"There are a lot of acquaintances, and the ones who often come and go are Song Zhusi, Zhu Dutou, and posters."
"Who is it that is easy to find out what these people are?"
"It's that Zhang Wenyuan, the poster book, that guy is very obscene, just a few glasses of wine to eat, even the color of the lady's belly pocket will be said."
"Tomorrow, you will invite this guy over for a drink and find out the details of this case."
"There is no need to invite, this guy will come every day, and if it doesn't arrive, it's not too late."
At noon the next day, Zhang Wenyuan really came to Shilixiang early. Zhu Gui had already prepared to welcome him into the private room, only saying that he had a good carp today, and invited him to enjoy the light and drink a few cups.
"The sticker is an old man from the county government, I heard that the senior doctor of the Huichun Hall has recently eaten a lawsuit, I don't know if it's true or not." Zhu Gui asked when he saw that the time had come.
"How can it be fake, locked up in prison?"
"It is rumored in the neighborhood that this matter is not embarrassing, and there is a judge in the county government." Zhu Gui toasted two more glasses.
"The case that Lieutenant Wu is keeping an eye on, how can he not be embarrassed, don't talk about gossip, just eat and drink." Zhang Wenyuan said in confidence.
The two were talking, Gu Haotian heard it clearly next door, and so far he was convinced that the county lieutenant of Nawu had a great deal to do in this case, and if he wanted to make a turnaround, he had to find a breakthrough in this person.
