Chapter 273: Armor Protection
The two men continued to laugh and drink and laugh, and were talking happily, when they heard the sound of footsteps around the house, and then several windows and doors were slammed open almost at the same time, and spears and swords came in together and pointed at them.
A big man with a beard in his hand held a ghost head knife, standing viciously at the door, and the ghost head knife pointed at Du Wenhao: "Ah! What a bold thief, he dared to abduct a woman from his mother's family and pretend to be an official?! Don't get down on your knees right away! β
Du Wenhao slowly turned his head very elegantly, and after a look, he saw that behind the beard, there were several people standing, who were Xue Langzhong and the family members of the previous patient. There was also a middle-aged man in a green official robe. The color of the official uniform of the Song Dynasty is green, which is the lowest grade, and the ninth to seventh rank is green.
Du Wenhao is a five-grade and a purple-clothed goldfish bag that only officials with more than three grades, so he naturally doesn't take this little sesame official in his eyes, and he has no fault at all, he is kind enough to save people, but he is being scolded by people with swords, and he is scolded as a thief by the mouth, and he is angry, and throws the chopsticks in his hand: "Is that bastard yelling here and disturbing Lao Tzu's drinking Yaxing?" Don't get out yet! β
"Fucking against you!" The green-robed official was furious, thinking that the eldest princess was a woman from a good family who had been coerced, and shouted to her: "Girl, get out of the way, and wait for the official to take down this lewd thief!" Above! β
Catch fast and shake the chains, shackles, and iron rulers, and you will pounce.
The eldest princess, who was a woman from a good family, suddenly slapped the table hard, stood up and shouted angrily: "Stop! It's the other way around! Do you know who we are? β
This loud shout made those catchers jump down and subconsciously stopped.
The beard is the head of the county government, and he was stunned when he heard this, he thought that this woman was a woman from a good family who was abducted, but when he heard this, he looked the eldest princess up and down, and asked, "Who are you?" β
"This is the Imperial Chamberlain! I'm ......."
The middle-aged man in the green robe next to the beard laughed before he finished listening: "He's a doctor? That Lao Tzu is the prince! β
The beard and the others laughed.
Du Wenhao waited for them to laugh almost enough, then stood up and said lightly: "The contemptible person is the imperial chief doctor Du Wenhao, this is the emperor's own sister, the eldest princess of the Qin Kingdom!" β
The green-robed official laughed even more, turned his head to Xue Langzhong and said: "You're right, he's really crazy, even the current Holy Imperial Physician Lord Du dares to pretend, and he doesn't call himself a catty!" β
The bearded head also smiled: "Exactly, that woman doesn't seem to be a good person, dare to pretend to be a princess!" In my opinion, it must be a pair of ** sluts, who are embarrassed to collude together, just to abduct women and children. β
The green-robed official laughed: "That's right! Look at them like this, they must have abducted and sold a few women and children when it was easy, and when they didn't have it, they went to the Qinglou to run around and pick up two customers to earn some money......"
Hearing a snort, an object flew out of the eldest princess's hand, hitting the forehead of the green-robed official.
The green-robed official screamed, covered his forehead and shook it twice, put down his hand to look, only to see that his palms were full of blood, and when he looked down, he saw a wine glass on the ground, dripping and spinning on the ground.
The green-robed official was furious: "Oh, you thief mother-in-law, dare to beat this official, it's really the opposite, on!" Give it to Lao Tzu! Tie up this adulterer and adulteress, strip naked and hang all night! β
Du Wenhao had already pulled the hem button and unfolded the spikes of the soft hedgehog armor on his body, and when he heard this, he immediately shook off the chair under his buttocks and pulled away from the stance. I thought that as long as I didn't use the sword, I would still have confidence in dealing with these songs, relying on the soft hedgehog armor and Lin Qingdai's misaligned muscles.
"Stop!" The eldest princess screamed, her palm flipped over, and there was already a small box in her palm, "Take it, open your dog's eyes and see clearly, what is this!" β
Several catchers were stunned by her posture, and they all stood still, turning their heads to look at the green-robed official.
The room was dimly lit, and the officer squinted at it and muttered, "What birds?" β
The eldest princess stared, startling the green-robed official, and involuntarily took a step back, thinking that this woman was really a bit evil, could there really be any reason? He glanced at the bearded head.
The bearded catcher pressed the handle of the knife and walked up slowly, staring at the eldest princess, carefully taking the small box from her hand. He slowly walked back and handed the box to the green-robed officer.
The official stared at the eldest princess, took the box, and saw that the box was inlaid with gold and jade, and on the surface of the box was a phoenix with wings hovering, and he couldn't help but be surprised. The phoenix is a sacred bird pattern, only the royal family and their relatives are qualified to use it, needless to say ordinary people, even the wives of high-ranking officials are not qualified to use it.
Could it be that this ragged woman turned out to be a royal prince?
The green-robed official felt his throat and eyes dry, and his heart was a little weak, and he slowly opened the box, and inside was a thumb-sized seal. The jade used for the seal turned out to be an extremely rare clotted white jade, and he reached out and carefully took it out, the jade was smooth and warm in his hands, and he didn't need to look closely to know that it was not ordinary. It's even more frightening. Carefully flip the jade over and look sideways in the dim light.
The green-robed official was old, a little old and dizzy, and the light was dim, and he couldn't see what was on it after a long time of identification. Turning his head and asking the bearded catcher: "Come and see, what is engraved on it?" β
Luo Beard went to private school for a few years when he was a child, but he also knew a few words, leaned over, and read word by word: "Thailand, Thailandββ, the eldest princess of Thailand, the seal?" β
Thailand? And Cambodia too! Du Wenhao couldn't help laughing: "Qin! That word reads Qin! 'The Seal of the Eldest Princess of the Qin Kingdom'! This is the eldest princess of the Qin Kingdom, the sister of the current saint! β
Everyone was so frightened that they took a few steps back, the chains and shackles in their hands were all put down, and a few of them had even changed their hideous faces to smiling.
The green-robed official's hands are trembling, he is just a classic history of this county, the official system of the Song Dynasty, and the canonical history of other counties is the last official who has not entered the stream, he is so big, and he has only seen the governor of the state and county from afar, and he has never seen the emperor's relatives.
His legs went limp, and he wanted to kneel on the ground.
The bearded head catcher was a little stunned, tilted his head and glanced at the eldest princess, no matter how she looked at the legendary princess, she whispered to the green-robed official: "My lord, they dare to pretend to be an official of the imperial court, naturally they dare to pretend to be a princess, maybe this princess is also fake." β
The beard's words immediately reminded the green-robed official, and he nodded again and again, but after he has been in the officialdom for so long, this kind of thing has always been more believable, otherwise, it will always be himself who is unlucky. Turning his head and asking in a low voice, "What should I do then?" β
"Wait for the county lieutenant to come to distinguish the authenticity!"
It turned out that Xue Lang and others ran to the county seat to denounce, and the first thing they found was this Dianshi, at that time, the county lord, the county lieutenant and other senior officials were dealing with an urgent matter, and Dianshi heard that someone was pretending to be a court official, which was a capital crime. Unexpectedly, after meeting, they took out a jade seal of the eldest princess, and he couldn't tell whether it was real or fake.
He didn't pay attention, and he felt very good after listening to the opinion of the beard catching quickly, since the other party may be a real princess and a court official, the green-robed official spoke much more politely, and even squeezed out a flattering smile: "Two, the official doesn't know the identities of the two, and this jade seal can't distinguish between the real and the fake, so I have to wait for the county lieutenant to come and deal with it." Before this, I could only wronged two people, and I couldn't leave this house for the time being. This seal is kept by the official for the purpose of discernment. β
Du Wenhao is a good talker, thinking that people have also heard that someone is pretending to be an official of the imperial court, so he naturally wants to come to check, and it is understandable that he is rude in his words and actions. Immediately arched his hand and said: "It's easy to say! β
The eldest princess snorted: "If you break my jade seal, your whole family's head will not be enough to compensate!" β
The green-robed official's face changed again, he smiled reluctantly, and waved his hand: "Fuck out!" He arched his hand again and closed the door.
The eldest princess sat down slowly, rubbed her forehead with her hands, and frowned. Du Wenhao asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?" Headache again? β
"No, after taking your medicine, I feel much better, but I was angry with them just now, and my head is a little dizzy."
"Wait a while, the county lieutenant will come and identify his identity, don't blame them too much, they are also responsible after all."
The eldest princess said fiercely: "How can there be such a cheap thing!" Is that the end of their insults to us? You have to give them some color to see! β
Du Wenhao saw her hateful appearance, and also thought that as the eldest princess, her family had suffered a great disaster, and she was already aggrieved and angry. It's hard to persuade each other again. Persuade her to drink with a drink, and tell some happy little jokes to divert her attention.
This trick really worked, and the eldest princess soon became happy.
The two were talking and laughing, when they heard noisy footsteps in the distance, the door creaked open and several people rushed in, and when they saw the two of them, they were surprised and delighted, and they knelt down and kowtowed: "Eldest princess!" Lord Du! I've found you! β
These people are the eldest princess's personal attendants.
The green-robed officials who followed behind them, with beards and beards, and two old men wearing the robes of the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, all knelt down and kowtowed in a panic when they heard this, and their bodies trembled like chaff. Outside the house, the family members of the patient who was injured in the previous fall, although they didn't hear what was being said inside, saw that the county lord knelt down, knowing that the two people inside were big shots, stabbed into the hornet's nest, ordered to kneel, and prostrate on the ground. Especially the green-robed official and the bearded two, while kowtowing, slapped themselves hard, scolded themselves for having no beads, and collided with the eldest princess and Lord Du. Ask for forgiveness.
The eldest princess was about to scold these entourage, seeing that they looked haggard and tired, and one of them still had a sling on his arm, so he must have been pragmatic in looking for them, and it was indeed an accident at that time, no wonder they didn't get angry again.
After asking, I found out that Du Wenhao was separated in the snowstorm with the eldest princess on his back the night before, and these attendants were looking around in the snowstorm, and one of the attendants fell off the cliff because of this, and broke his hand.
Several attendants searched for a night and did not find it, and the next day they searched for most of the day, still without results, so they rushed to the nearby county seat, took out their waist cards to identify themselves, told the matter, and asked the local people to send someone to search the mountains to find it.
When the county magistrate and the county lieutenant heard that the princess of the Qin State and the five-grade imperial physician Du Wenhao Du were hunting in micro-clothes, they were lost in a snowstorm in the county, and they didn't know their life and death, and they were immediately frightened, and they were busy gathering the people, preparing to contact the local garrison, and using soldiers to help search.
While they were discussing, Dian Shi received a report that a man and a woman had been found in a small mountain village, and the man claimed to be a court official, and said that he was the imperial doctor Du Wenhao, suspected that he was a madman pretending to be a court official. This historian is too young to participate in the county magistrate's discussion on how to search the mountains and find them, so they don't know that there is such a thing. As soon as he heard that someone was pretending to be an official of the imperial court, he brought someone first.
The county lord later listened to the report, and was so frightened that he was not possessed, for fear that the reckless Dian Shi would poke out the big basket, and the group came in a hurry, but it was still a little late, but fortunately, the eldest princess used the princess jade seal to show her identity in time, and the Dian Shi was not a reckless guy, and he didn't really hurt the eldest princess and Lord Du.
The eldest princess saw that all the officials were prostrate and pleaded guilty, especially the green-robed history and bearded head catcher who had offended her before, and slapped herself, her nose and face were swollen, and her mouth was full of blood, and the anger in her heart also disappeared: "That's it!" Stop it. β
The history and the catch stopped. Dian Shi took the princess jade seal from his arms and knelt forward, and handed it to the eldest princess with both hands.
The eldest princess took it, and when she saw the blood on her hand stained with the slap of the canon, she frowned and put the jade seal on the table.
Du Wenhao smiled, took the jade seal, washed off the blood on it with the wine in the wine cup, and dried it with a towel before handing it to the eldest princess.
A smile appeared on the corner of the eldest princess's mouth, took the jade seal, and put it in her arms.
She glanced back at the people kneeling on the ground, and saw Xue Langzhong kneeling behind, as the so-called wronged debtor has the owner, the eldest princess couldn't help but feel evil from her heart, angry to the guts, pointing at Xue Langzhong and said: "You old horseman, we are just staying at your house, and the money is not less than yours, Lord Du is the imperial doctor of my imperial brother, the first doctor in the world, seeing that you are a quack doctor and misleading people, kindly reminded you to help you diagnose and treat, not only did you not appreciate it, but also framed us, and the officials came to arrest us, why is this?" You have to give me an explanation, otherwise, I will tell the imperial brother and behead you all over the house!" β
Xue Langzhong was so frightened that he was scared, he had been kowtowing just now, his forehead was already dripping with blood, he knelt and crawled a few steps at the moment, prostrate on the ground, and kowtowed again and again: "The eldest princess spares her life, the grass people are blinded by lard, and when you see two suspicious ......, ah no," Xue Langzhong slapped himself a few times with hatred, two old teeth fell out, and there was blood on his white beard, "The grass people are wrong, it is the grass people who have no eyes and no beads, and they offended the princess and Lord Du, please also forgive the grass people's dog life for the sake of the old and the young!" Woowoo"
The eldest princess said angrily: "What I asked is, why did you report it?" Say it bluntly! β
Xue Langzhong kowtowed vigorously, dizzy, where could he still say half a sentence.
In the end, the county lord has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he also entered Beijing to face the saint at that time, and he has seen some big officials, so he can still hold his breath, and kowtow at the moment and say: "Eldest princess, Weichen has words to advise, I don't know if I should talk about it." β
"Let's talk about it!" The eldest princess said with a straight face.
"Wechen doesn't dare."
"What a rambling! Hurry up! β
"Yes." The county lord kowtowed and swallowed hard: "This matter, you can only blame the armor protection system of the new law." β
The eldest princess was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Du Wenhao, Du Wenhao was also a little strange, how could this matter be related to Wang Anshi's change, and interjected and asked, "What do you mean?" You made it clear. β
"Yes. The new law, the "Qi County Baojia Regulations", has a cloud: "If there are outsiders in this insurance who are unknown, they must be aware of it, and they will be arrested and sent to the official." Otherwise, he shall be punished with the sin of neglect." Xue Langzhong acted in accordance with the regulations. It really has to be. β
When Du Wenhao was studying history in middle school, the history teacher once talked in detail about Wang Anshi's reforms, and he knew that one of the contents of Wang Anshi's reform was to divide the households into 15 to protect the armor, and to restore the Shiwu joint sitting system, and there was an obligation to report to each other.
However, he didn't know that Wang Anshi's armor protection system was more severe than the previous sitting, and after listening to the words of the county lord, he knew that Wang Anshi's armor protection system also had such a provision: Within a guarantee, if a suspicious stranger comes, he must also report it and send it to the government, otherwise he will also be punished.
After learning this, he also understood why this Xue Langzhong wanted to report them. If you were to change to yourself, maybe you could only do this. Who told himself to talk and spit out, and recklessly claimed to be the emperor's imperial doctor. How could the imperial doctor suddenly appear in this small mountain village with a beautiful woman, it is indeed doubtful.
Therefore, if you want to blame this matter, you have to blame Wang Anshi's perverted armor protection system.
An old man behind Xue Langzhong also mustered up the courage to kneel and climb up, kowtowed, and said: "The grass people are the right people in this village, and they have words to advise, I don't know if they should talk about it?" β
The eldest princess said angrily: "It's just right, what else are you dragging the text, if you have something to say, hurry up!" β
"Yes, Xue Lang is neutral and kind, three years ago, his neighbor came to a certain relative and friend, and lived for a while, and then the neighboring county came quickly and arrested him, only to know that this relative and friend was a bandit. Xue Langzhong was protected by dozens of people, and they were all sat together, either dead or exiled. Xue Langzhong was also sentenced to three years in prison, and was granted redemption because of his old age. smashed the pot and sold iron and paid a huge ransom, so that he was saved from prison. So Xue Langzhong was bitten by a snake one day, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years. Let's talk about Xue Langzhong, the people in the village, as long as they see outsiders entering the village, they are all frightened, and their relatives and friends are afraid of them like tigers and wolves, for fear that they are absconding criminals, and their lives will be affected. β
After that, Li Zhengsheng burst into tears, crawling and choking, unable to continue.
The eldest princess didn't dare to be interested in Wang Anshi's change, and she didn't care about any of the regulations, but it was understandable to hear what was being said here, her face softened slightly, she glanced at Du Wenhao, and asked him what to do.
Du Wenhao knew that the imperial court was now arguing over the law change, and the empress dowager and the empress dowager were resolutely opposed to the law change. However, after all, the new law has not been repealed and is still valid, and Du Wenhao does not dare to comment at will. Wen Yan said: "Xue Langzhong is also unintentional, he doesn't know our true identity, the so-called ignorant is not guilty, just spare him this time." β
Xue Langzhong cried and kowtowed to Du Wenhao.
The eldest princess waved her hand and said, "Since Master Du said so, I will spare you."
Rushing to offend the eldest princess belongs to the great rebellion among the heinous crimes, and it is a capital crime, and it will be beheaded all over the house. Xue Langzhong thought that this was a certain death, but when he heard this, he suddenly stepped on the shore like a drowning person, and he was really grateful, and his tears flowed: "The grass people ......, the grass people thank the eldest princess for her grace ......!" β
The eldest princess said, "Okay, let's go out!" Get out! β
The rest of the people hurriedly kowtowed and retreated out of the door.
But at this moment, I heard a loud cry outside the door. The eldest princess said angrily: "Who is shouting outside? β
An old man knelt and crawled in, but it was the old man who kowtowed: "Yes......, it is the family who sought treatment from Xue Langzhong before, the injury is aggravated, and his life is in an instant." I would like to ask Lord Du to ......"
The eldest princess said angrily: "Didn't they let Lord Du heal? Don't you just believe in the Shanye Langzhong surnamed Xue? Even the holy doctors of today don't look at them, and they don't care what they do! Kicked out! β
"Yes, yes!" The magistrate kowtowed and turned around to go out.
"Wait!" Du Wenhao stopped him, turned his head to the eldest princess and said: "You can't blame them for this matter, purely from the perspective of a doctor, I am too young, not enough to make others trust, from the perspective of the system, these people accuse us, just acting in accordance with the provisions of the new law, and they can't blame them!" β
"You're a good person!" The eldest princess gave him a blank look, "Then what do you like?" I don't care, can't I? β
Du Wenhao knew that the eldest princess was angry, so he leaned over and said in a low voice: "Eldest princess, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter!" β
The eldest princess is also a negative sentence, she also persuaded Du Wenhao to find a way to explain her identity clearly, so that she could heal this person, and she didn't let Du Wenhao heal at this moment, just because she was angry with their behavior. Hearing Du Wenhao's words, most of his anger suddenly disappeared, and after thinking about it, indeed, they should not vent their anger on these people, they have no choice but to vent their anger. At the moment, he said angrily: "Then you cured him!" β
Du Wenhao smiled slightly: "The eldest princess has spoken, quickly bring the patient in." β
The village was hurriedly spreading the word, and soon, the relatives of the injured outside the door carried the injured in, and the middle-aged man who had asked Du Wenhao to walk away before looked panicked, kowtowed and cried: "Lord Du, the grass people are blind, I implore Lord Du to save my brother, the grass people have offended the adults, and they are willing to destroy their eyes to make amends!" β
Put two fingers on your eyes and make a gesture to clasp your own eyeballs.
Du Wenhao hurriedly said: "Okay! Isn't it just to cure diseases and save people! Before the living are saved, do not make trouble, for I want your eyes to do anything. I said I would help you cure. Bring it over and let me see! β
Several people hurriedly carried a door panel in, on which lay the strong man, the splint on his chest had been taken off, but he looked dying.
