Chapter 147: Complaining
"Master, how did you say that Taishi Liu would point out that you should come to Luoxiang Mansion, this Luoxiang Mansion is located in the northwest, far away from the capital, this winter, just for the so-called 'magic medicine', let you come here, isn't this a toss for us!" Wang Yi complained as he packed his luggage.
A few months ago, I heard that a landlord's house was ransacked by bandits, and all the doors were killed!
Thinking like this, he shuddered excitedly, and his expression became even more complaining, and he didn't know how he, the stuffy gourd master, had offended Taishi Liu and been tossed like this.
He Zhongkai, the imperial doctor, sat at the table, holding a cup to drink water, he was from the south, the first time he went to the northwest, he felt very cold, but fortunately, his nagging apprentice was fully prepared, and he didn't suffer much along the way.
Hearing the apprentice's complaint, he said lightly: "Wang Yi, don't say much, Master Liu is high-powered and resourceful, he asked me to come, he must have his intentions, and I also want to see what kind of effect that 'magic medicine' has." ”
Wang Yi pouted, if it is really a miracle medicine, it will definitely be transmitted to the capital in the future, why bother to come here in person, look at the faces of the others in the Tai Hospital when they sent them, who is stupid to come to this trip.
But thinking about it, the master was also sent by name, so he couldn't shirk it, so he snorted again, prepared the clothes he was going to wear tomorrow, closed the box, and went to ask someone to prepare the meal in a huff.
After dawn, the master and apprentice continued to set off, but before they could get out of the town, they heard a rhythmic sound of gongs and drums, and then many people rushed out of each house, bringing the old and the young, blocking the street tightly, and then quickly evacuated to the outside, very orderly, and soon left the street, leaving only a few people, who all looked like outsiders, and their faces were confused.
He Zhongkai looked at all this dumbfounded, what was going on?
Wang Yi sat on the wheel, suddenly turned around and hugged He Zhongkai's arm, and said in a panic: "Master, is the bandit coming!" Let's go, follow them! ”
The guards around the carriage had drawn their swords and were ready to fight, the reins of the horses clutched tightly in their hands.
He Zhongkai shook his head, it didn't look like someone was attacking, these people evacuated in an orderly manner, quickly and without panic, obviously they were trained.
"Follow along!" He pulled away Wang Yi's hand that was holding his arm, jumped out of the carriage, and walked in front.
The master walked ahead, and the guards naturally followed with swords, but they did not dismount.
Wang Yi lost He Zhongkai's arm, panicked, turned around and was about to pull the coachman's arm, but when he saw his old face full of folds, he withdrew his hand, jumped out of the car, and chased after He Zhongkai, "Master, you wait for me!" ”
This town is called Huaishu Town, in the middle of the town is a square, in the center of the square is a big locust tree, the branches are luxuriant, it is a hundred years old, next to it is a small temple, called Huailing Temple.
It is said that this big locust tree has a spirit, its branches and leaves are luxuriant, but it can not be climbed, according to legend, someone once wanted to cut the old locust tree to make a bed board, but the axe raised did not cut the body of the tree, but cut off his own leg with an axe, fortunately he collected his strength in time, so that he did not break the leg. There were also people who climbed the locust branch and went back to feed the sheep, but it didn't take long for his arm to have a big sore, and the pain was very great, and finally he went to the locust tree to confess, and the next day his arm was healed.
Since then, it has been said that the locust tree has a spirit, and the town has been renamed the town of locust tree, and the residents of the town have also built this small temple together to worship the spirit of the locust tree, and built a square around it.
This matter has become a legend in this town, but when outsiders come, the inn's junior will publicize it to attract business tourists to go to the incense, so He Zhongkai heard this legend last night.
Now seeing that the square was crowded with people, and it was understood that it was not the bandits who attacked, He Zhongkai and the others were a little relaxed, but they were still confused.
Did they catch up with the temple fair in this town? Or what kind of ritual?
He Zhongkai grabbed a young man around the square and inquired for a long time before he realized what kind of "exercise" he was doing.
"Master, what kind of exercise is this, I think it's just fun, the prefect of this Luoxiang Mansion is also bold, and he has nothing to do to play with these people all day long, you look at these people, maybe they are still in the bed, and they will be pulled out, if this is a cold, how can it be good?" Saying that, he had a flash of inspiration, and felt that he understood the key, clapped his hands, and said loudly: "I know Master!" ”
He Zhongkai turned his head to look at him, frowned, and did not speak.
However, the more Wang Yi thought about it, the more he felt that the truth of the matter was what he thought, and even nodded, and then said: "Master, the Liang Governor of Luoxiang Mansion said that there is a doctor named Wei Zhao who has developed a miracle medicine, right?" ”
He Zhongkai nodded, his brows still unfurled, weren't they here for this? Q: What does this mean?
"In my opinion, this Liang Governor and Wei Dafu must know each other, and the relationship is very unusual, and now this Wei Dafu has developed a medicine, the effect is very good, so Liang Zhifu and him to conduct such a drill, nominally for the good of the people, but in fact, it is to make the people sick, otherwise when this drill will not work, it has to be early in the morning, the coldest time, suddenly let people come out to exercise. As soon as the people got sick, it was when Dr. Wei showed his powers, and the money that sold the medicine went into their pockets in an uproar? ”
He didn't doubt the existence of the "miracle medicine", after all, since the Liang Governor's Mansion dared to report to the imperial court, it must not be groundless, otherwise it would be a crime of bullying the king.
But he was very skeptical about the purpose of the exercise. The people are stupid and can't see through it, and he, the king, is not so easy to fool!
He Zhongkai originally thought that he had made some major discoveries, but it turned out to be this kind of open-mouthed words, he shook it, and sighed in his heart, this apprentice has good qualifications, but unfortunately his heart is not good and he is not calm enough, I am afraid that he will suffer in the future!
He waved his hand, looked at the number of officials in the field, and knew that this matter must have been organized by the government, and if he wanted to know the truth of the matter, he would know when he asked when he arrived at the mansion, and he would know that it was useless speculation, just a villain!
"Wang Yi, don't say anything, our trip is to check the 'magic medicine', just go to Fucheng to do this thing, don't make trouble."
As a master, he will still mention a sentence or two when he should mention, and as for whether Wang Yi can listen to it, it depends on his understanding.
Although Wang Yi talked a lot and didn't keep the door open, he could still listen to He Zhongkai's words, knowing that he had made the same old mistake again, he puffed out his cheeks, smiled awkwardly, and patted his mouth, and the matter was over.
