Chapter 21 The Medicine House
"This is ......" Without waiting for Fan Li to continue, Wang Shen made a silent gesture, "Sir, don't ask more, just follow me." ”
Seeing him say this, Fan Li had to swallow the words in his mouth, followed him all the way in, and came to a wing room in the backyard, where Fu Cha was in it, and Bo Yao was talking with him.
Seeing Fan Li coming in, Bo Yao obediently retreated with Wang Shen, leaving only Fucha and Fan Li.
Fan Li stood there in a daze, thinking that he was too surprised, and even forgot to do the ceremony, and the husband smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for half a day, and the young uncle doesn't recognize this king?" ”
Fan Li woke up in shock, hurriedly leaned over and saluted, and then said cautiously: "How can the king be in Dazai's Mansion?" ”
The husband flicked his robe and said indifferently: "This king has a few words that he wants to ask you, and he doesn't want his father to know, thinking about it, only Dazai is the most suitable." Don't look at what he said lightly, if you break this sentence and think about it, you will feel extremely terrifying.
Fan Li bowed and said: "The king just asks, and he must know everything below." ”
The husband almost nodded and said, "You said before that killing is not necessarily unkind, and not killing is not necessarily benevolent, so do you agree with your father's statement and execute Gou Jian?" ”
Fan Li was silent, and his husband did not urge, waiting for his answer while drinking tea, and halfway through the drink, Fan Li finally spoke, "I don't agree." ”
Hearing this, Fucha's eyes lit up, "Why? ”
"Gou Jian is alive, and the king can use him to restrain and even control the Yue people; If they die, those Yue people will be leaderless, and coupled with their hatred for Wu State, it is easy for someone to take advantage of the loophole and become a sharp arrow against Wu State. Although the Yue Kingdom was defeated and its strength was greatly reduced, the hundred-legged insect is still dead but not stiff, let alone a country. It is true that killing may not be unkind, but the people do not understand, they will only distinguish by what they see with the naked eye; For them, a person who kills indiscriminately is a tyrant and an unkind. Speaking of this, he raised his head and said word by word: "If the king wants to become a benevolent monarch and win the hearts of the people in the world, he must not kill Gou Jian." ”
The husband pressed down his fluctuating thoughts and said quietly: "Why don't you say these words in front of your father?" ”
Fan Li deliberately smiled bitterly: "Lord Xiangguo's thoughts, the king knows best, if he says this, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to stand in front of the king at this moment." ”
The husband looked at him with a smile, "You have hidden your father so hard, is this called yang and yin, two-faced and three-faced?" ”
Fan Li was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and said: "The king is serious, and he just wants to ask for self-protection." ”
The husband played with the delicate teacup, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Good birds choose trees to perch, since your ideas are not agreed with your father, it is better to come to the king's side, I believe that you can make the best use of your talents, and this king will not treat you badly." ”
Fan Li wants to go to her husband's side and get closer to the center of power, but now is not the time; Besides, the husband is not so much a solicitation at the moment as a temptation.
"Thank you for your kindness, but Lord Xiangguo has the grace of knowing and meeting in the next, and he doesn't plan to vote for others."
Fu Chaxuan raised his thick eyebrows, and said in surprise: "Are you rejecting this king?" ”
Fan Li didn't say anything, just gave his hand again, "Please forgive me." ”
The husband looked at Fan Li with interest, people, he had seen a lot; I have seen a lot of talented people, but it is the first time I have seen those who can face wealth and glory without being moved at all, and this Fan Li is really a little interesting.
"I heard that you were originally a Yue minister, and it is rare that this king is willing to ignore the past suspicions, but you don't know what to do like this, aren't you afraid that this king will cut off your head in anger?"
Fan Li said solemnly: "The king is heroic and benevolent, and the people admire; I believe that the king will not take people's lives because of a few blunt words. ”
"You're wrong." Fucha's eyes sank, and a cold killing intent burst out from the bottom of his eyes, making the surroundings suddenly lose temperature, obviously it was midsummer, but there was an illusion of being in a cold winter.
Fan Li showed a little surprise and fear, but soon returned to that calm appearance, and said sonorously: "The big husband has something to do, and he doesn't do something; Even if the king really wants to kill Zaixia, Zaixia will never dare to turn his back on Lord Xiangguo! ”
I don't know how long it took, but the husband finally couldn't hold back his face, shook his head and said, "You don't call it loyalty, it's called pedantic." ”
"Please, the king, punish you." Facing Fan Li's kneeling plea, the husband waved his hand and said: "That's it, this king has always disliked the difficulties of strong people, since you insist on it like this, forget it." ”
Fan Li said cautiously: "The king is not killed?" ”
The husband said funny: "You have put on so many high hats for this king, how can this king be embarrassed to kill you." ”
Fan Li breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with the happiness of the rest of his life: "Thank you for not killing the king, Fan Li must remember it." ”
"Get up." The husband looked at Fan Li's eyes, with deep pity and appreciation.
Asking for but not being able to let go is often the most unbearable; Fan Li saw through this and insisted on refusing. He was confident that the husband would come back to him until he was recruited.
After Fan Li left, Bo Yao walked in and said respectfully: "The carriage is ready, and the king can leave at any time." ”
The husband put down the teacup that he had been playing with in his hand, and said with a smile: "Dazai is chasing this king?" ”
Bo Yao was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The king's willingness to come to the minister's mansion is a blessing that the minister has cultivated for several generations, and the minister is too late to be happy, and how dare he have the intention of chasing half a point; It's not that I'm afraid that if you come out for a long time, the news will leak, so I dare to urge, you are really wronged. ”
"This king is joking with you, but take it seriously, get up quickly." Seeing that Bo Yao was struggling to get up, he said again: "You are also an old man, don't kneel at every turn, if you have something to say." ”
"It's okay, it's just that there has been a lot of rain recently, and I have an old problem with rheumatism, so I have some inconvenience in moving." Saying that, Bo Yao said again: "Besides, it is a blessing for the minister to be able to kneel for the king, and please give the king more blessings." ”
The husband was amused by him, "According to what you say, wouldn't it be better to kneel all the time?" ”
Bo Yao said without thinking: "As long as the king gives an order, even if the minister kneels to the ground, what does it matter." ”
Fucha knew that Bo Yao was deliberately pleasing himself, but such a compliment and obedience fell on his ears and was indeed quite useful, unlike Wu Zixu's hard temper and strong temper, whenever he encountered a disagreement, he did not give an inch, and did not take into account his face as a king, which often made it difficult for him to step down.
"The minister has something unclear, I don't know if I can ask?" Bo Yao's words pulled Fu Cha back from his contemplation, "You want to ask Fan Li?" ”
"The king is wise." Bo Yao said curiously: "I don't know who this Fan Li is, and he actually let the king go out of the palace to meet him?" ”
The husband did not hide it, and said indifferently: "He is the doorman of the father, and this king sees that he has a bit of talent, and wants to recruit him to listen to it, but unfortunately he refuses." ”
Bo Yao said in surprise: "The king personally solicited it, and he dared to refuse, he really doesn't know what to do." ”
"He said that his father had the grace of knowing him, and he didn't dare to vote for him." Without waiting for Bo Ya's words, the husband said again: "It's good to know the kindness and repay it." ”
"Yes." Bo Yao responded, revealing an aura that wanted to speak and stopped, and the husband looked in his eyes and said, "What, Dazai has something to say?" ”
Bo Yao hesitated: "The minister recently heard a rumor, and he has not yet determined whether it is true or not, so I don't know whether to tell the king or not." ”
"There's no one else here, Dazai just has to say it, and it's time to kill it." Seeing that the husband said this, Bo Yao had no choice but to say: "Has the king ever heard the rumor that the exiles of the Yue Kingdom killed the Wu people?" ”
The husband bowed his head and said: "I heard that the prime minister also talked about this matter today, and many people have been injured by the displaced people of the Yue country, and this incident has put everyone in the city in danger. ”
"But the minister heard that this matter was deliberately spread by someone; In order to provoke the contradictions between the people of the two countries, so as to ......" Bo Yao looked at the gradually gloomy face of the husband, and said in a low voice: "Force the king to behead Goujian." ”
"You mean Father?"
Bo Yao said cautiously: "The minister has no conclusive evidence and does not dare to point fingers at Xiangguo, but he is indeed the most motivated. ”
What do the wounded people say? Is it also fake? ”
"The injuries are real, but it is not known who was injured." Seeing that his husband was almost speechless, he said again: "Your Majesty, you think, the Yue people and my Wu people look the same, how can those people know that it must be the Yue people who hurt them, unless they ...... Someone deliberately made them say that. ”
"As far as the minister knows, there are indeed Yue people who have fled to my Gusu, but they all want to find a place to live and live a good life, and they have never thought of hurting people, let alone seeking people's lives. Although the king destroyed the Yue country, you did not kill innocents indiscriminately, and even the life of the king of Yue was not harmed. ”
"As for the Yue Nu killing the centurion and leaving the poison to escape, there is a lot of article, how can two delicate women have the courage to kill a hundred ladies who are good at martial arts? Those women in the backyard of the ministers, let alone kill people, let them not dare to kill a chicken, unless they are forced into a desperate situation, either they are poisoned or they die. The husband listened silently, and when he finished speaking, he said indifferently: "How can it be easy for such people to rumor in the market. ”
"But ......" Without waiting for Bo Yao to continue, the husband said again: "You and your father are both the ministers of your father's trust, and they are the pillars of my Great Wu, and this king hopes that the two of you can complement each other and make contributions to my Great Wu, instead of suspicion and slander each other." ”
Bo Yao hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister said it at the beginning, and he wasn't sure that it was Xiangguo who spread rumors." ”
Fucha stared at Bo Yao without saying a word, which made the latter's heart furious, and when he was worried about himself, Fucha got up and said, "This king should go back, and Dazai should rest early." ”
Bo Yao hurriedly said: "Congratulations to the king." ”
It wasn't until the husband was gone that Bo Yao straightened up, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, don't look at the husband who has been helping Wu Zixu just now, and scolded him for believing in rumors, in fact, in this heart, I don't know how much annoyance.
No king likes to be deceived and tricked by his courtiers, and Fucha is no exception, Wu Zixu pretended to be clever and gave him a chance.
Look, one day, the husband will be completely tired of this old minister who is in charge of everything and opposition, and at that time, it will be Wu Zixu's death.
Speaking of which, this matter is thanks to Wen Chong, if he hadn't reported the news, he wouldn't have known that the rumors that have been circulating in the capital recently were from Wu Zixu.
Besides, Yiguang, after she returned to the medicine house, she continued to see people while continuing to think about how to enter the palace, for the sake of her father, even if it was Longtan Tiger's Den, she would break through.
"Ahem, girl...... I've been coughing day and night lately, and I can't stop it, and my head hurts a lot. In the medicine house, an old man in ragged clothes coughed and spoke weakly.
"You sit down first, and I'll take your pulse." Yiguang Wenyan said, after the old man sat down, she stretched out her finger and put it on her wrist, and soon broke off the symptoms, "You have a cough caused by the wind and cold hitting the lungs, because it has been delayed for a long time, so it is a little serious, I will prescribe a prescription for you, you decoction according to the prescription, and it should improve after three days." ”
"Thank you, girl." The old man thanked him again and again, and then showed embarrassment, "But...... I don't have the money to get medicine, ahem, is there a way not to spend money? ”
Yiguang said with a smile: "I have all the herbs that Fang Zi needs, you can take them, and remember to come for a follow-up in three days." ”
The old man was surprised and delighted, "This ...... What's so embarrassing about that? ”
"It doesn't matter." As he spoke, Yiguang had already picked up the herbs, carefully divided them into three bags, put them in the basket brought by the old man, and advised: "Fry three bowls of water into one bowl, and avoid greasy, sweet and sour things." ”
"Thank you, girl, for your kindness." The old man thanked him repeatedly, and took out all the taro in the basket and put it on the table, "I don't have any good things, only these few taro just dug out of the ground, it should be regarded as medicine money, girl, don't dislike it." ”
"You really don't need to, you can keep it for yourself." In the face of Yiguang's resignation, the old man insisted on giving, and he was at a stalemate for a while, and the patient waiting behind persuaded him: "Girl, you can accept it, you who give medicine and medicine, and don't accept a penny, we really don't want to go." ”
Since setting up this medicine store, Yiguang has been giving free medicine to the displaced people of Wu and Yue, plus her medical skills, benevolence and benevolence, so more and more people come to the medicine house to see a doctor.
Seeing them say this, Yiguang had to take two taro, and refused to accept the rest of the words, but the old man couldn't help it, so he had to give up.
Behind the old man, it was a middle-aged man, just about to sit down, a person suddenly rushed out of the oblique time, rushed to sit down in front of him, Yiguang frowned slightly, "This son, please go to the back and line up." ”
"My heart hurts a lot, please ask the girl to help me see it first." The man looked down and said, Yiguang couldn't see his appearance clearly, only felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
"Everyone in the queue here is sick, and it's really unfair for Childe to insert it like this, let's talk about ......" Yiguang looked at his clothes and said, "I see that Childe Ayaro is here, and he is not a poor person, so let's go to the hospital in the city to see a doctor." ”
The patients in the queue behind were also angry, and they all accused, and in the voice of everyone, the man finally raised his head, revealing a handsome and feminine face, and said with a deep smile: "Really refuse to see a doctor for me?" ”
Seeing that face, the light under the veil suddenly changed, is he? How did he end up here?
