Since the Holy Decree arrived in Yangzhou, the feeling to the outside world was that the behavior of this Lord Assassin had been much more restrained, and he had also begun to deal with some official affairs every day, which in turn had served as a cover for Yin Yuan's contact with Pei Xing.

On this day, Yin Yuan asked the Yangzhou local government and the chief of the government to conduct a routine report on their work, and all counties and governments came with chief officials, but the Pingnan General's Mansion sent the deputy general Yang Tong to participate on behalf of Du Shuo, Yin Yuan had expected that Du Shuo would not come, so he didn't ask much. Yin Yuan has a good impression of this Yang Tong, and after a few contacts, he feels that Yang Tong is kind and polite to Yin Yuan. Today, seeing that General Pingnan's mansion was Yang Tong, he took the initiative to greet him and invite him to take a seat, although Yang Tong thanked him repeatedly, but his reaction was quite slow, Yin Yuan saw that Yang Tong's eyebrows were tightly locked, his eye sockets were deep, his eyes were red, his eyes wandered, and he seemed to have not slept all night, so he asked with concern: "General Yang, this official sees that you are not good-looking, is it because you are sick?" ”

Yang Tong heard this, and hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted: "Thank you Lord Thorn Shi for your concern, the last general has just not rested well because of trivial matters at home, don't worry, don't worry." ”

Yin Yuan said again: "Since it is General Yang's family matter, it is inconvenient for this official to ask more, but if there is anything that needs Yin's help, General Yang can just ask." ”

Yang channel thanks.

Pei Xing was sitting on Yin Yuan's left hand at this time, Yin Yuan seemed to turn his head inadvertently, the two met their eyes, Yin Yuan's eyes were handed over, and Pei Xing understood.

Approaching noon, the debriefing was over, everyone said goodbye to each other and dispersed, after less than half an hour, someone reported to Yin Yuan, saying that Pei Junshou asked to see, Yin Yuan had an invitation, Pei Xing came in and deliberately said loudly: "Lord Assassin Shi, the lower officials are confused, and suddenly remembered that there are a few places in the debriefing that still need to be explained to the adults, and this is not halfway and then turns back, disturbing the adults." ”

Yin Yuan pretended to be displeased, and said with a gloomy face: "How can Lord County Shou be so confused, that is, here in this official, if you are above the court, do you dare to do this?" Today, I will write it down for you for the time being, if you dare to commit it again, this official will not spare it. ”

Pei Xing immediately bowed down and said yes again and again.

Yin Yuan looked left and right again, and said, "This official still has to discuss political affairs with the county guard, and you will retire for the time being." Then the men on the right and left withdrew.

Yin Yuan confirmed that there was no one around, and hurriedly walked to Pei Xing's approach and asked in a low voice, "How is Brother Pei's situation, have you ever found out some news?" ”

Pei Xing also said in a low voice: "Xiaguan, just kept Yang Tong, and asked a few words in a remote place, he thought it was just that the chief was concerned, so he told Xiaguan." It turned out that Yang Tong's mother suddenly fell ill in the past few days, he had not slept for several nights, and he had not seen any improvement after seeking medical advice and medicine. ”

Yin Yuan said: "I see, what do you think of this Brother Yang Tong Pei?" ”

Pei Xing said again: "Pei has had contact with Yang Tong, this person is capable, steady, decent and righteous, but for some reason he is not reused in the Pingnan General's Mansion, and he has always been a small deputy general." Xia Guan felt that this person could be used by us, and now was a good opportunity. ”

Yin Yuan said: "What is the opportunity, Brother Pei speak quickly?" ”

Pei Xing said with a smile: "The adult is really a fan of the authorities, please think, now Yang Tong's mother is seriously ill, and it has no effect to ask for medical advice, Pei heard that before the adult entered the office, he had practiced medicine for ten years, and the medical skills were exquisite, if the adult can cure Yang Tong's mother's disease, Yang Tong will inevitably owe the adult a great favor, Yang Tong is a person who knows how to repay the kindness, and it is not easy for the adult to inquire about the news!" ”

After listening to what Pei Xing said, Yin Yuan said with a smile: "It's still Brother Pei's quick thinking, and he woke up Yin in one fell swoop." It's just that if Yin went directly to Yang Tong, it seemed a little inappropriate. ”

Pei Xing said again: "If the lord is ordered by the lower officials, can you see it?" ”

Yin Yuan said with a smile: "Yin also has this intention, this matter can only be Brother Lao Pei, but you still have to do enough in this scene!" ”

Pei Xing nodded in agreement.

The discussion was decided, Yin Yuan returned to his seat, and said loudly: "The matter reported by the Pei County Guard, this official is already clear, if there is nothing else, the county guard will please go back, and the official will not leave the adults to eat." Pei Xing said goodbye, and his own subordinates sent him out.

Besides, after Pei Xing returned to the mansion and calculated carefully, he ordered someone to prepare some supplements, and came to Yang Tong's residence alone without his entourage. Yang Tong's father died early, and he and his mother were the only ones in the family who depended on each other. Yang Tong did not have many officials, his residence was very small, and there was no one to serve him at home. Yang Tong is very filial to his mother, since his mother was sick, he took leave to serve at home, and did not dare to leave half a step. At this time, Yang Tong was decocting medicine to his mother, and he had taken several doses but did not get better, but there was nothing else he could do.

Suddenly, he heard someone knocking on the door, so he went to open the door, and when he saw that it was Pei Xing, he hurriedly gave a deep salute and said in surprise: "Why did Lord County Shou come to the last general's humble house?" ”

Pei Xing said with a smile: "Pei knows that General Yang Lingtang is ill, you and I colleagues, how can there be any reason not to visit." So he handed over the supplements he brought to Yang Tong, but Yang Tong repeatedly refused, and reluctantly accepted them. Hurriedly let Pei Xing into the house, Pei Xingyou visited Yang Tong's mother, and Hao Sheng expressed his condolences.

The two came to the hall again, Yang Tong invited Pei Xing to take a seat, the two sat down, Pei Xing said: "General Yang Lingtang's condition has improved?" ”

Yang Tong sighed: "Who would have thought that my mother would have this strange disease, although my mother is old, but Su Ri's legs and feet are still more flexible, there is no difference, how do you know that half a month ago, suddenly your legs twitched, extremely painful, unable to walk, and then even the upper limbs also had this symptom, can only stay in bed all day, seek medical advice and medicine in many places, are helpless, can only drink some decoction to relieve pain." Brother Yang is really unfilial, seeing his mother suffering from this, but there is nothing he can do. Saying that, Yang Tong was already in tears.

Pei Xing comforted Yang Tong again, and then said: "Actually, it's not that there is really no way, but Pei doesn't know if it's feasible?" ”

As soon as Yang Tong heard that Pei Xing had a way, he immediately asked: "What is the way Lord County Shou, do you know that there is a master in the world, tell Yang Tong quickly, if you can heal your mother, Yang is grateful." ”

Pei Xing said again: "How can Pei not know this truth, but this person is not very easy to please!" ”

Yang Tong said eagerly: "In order to save his mother, Yang is smashing pots and selling iron, and he will not hesitate to bankrupt his family." ”

Pei Xing smiled bitterly: "General Yang misunderstood, the difficulty that Pei said is not that this person has a high consultation fee, but that this person has a special identity, and I am afraid it will be difficult to invite him!" ”

Yang Tong was even more anxious and asked: "Please tell me bluntly, where is this master now, even if Yang sacrifices his life, he will invite this person to treat his mother." ”

Pei Xing saw that the fire was almost over, so he said: "General Yang's filial piety moved Pei, and Pei showed the way for the general, but don't tell others that Pei said it, okay?" ”

Yang Tong bowed and saluted again: "Don't worry, my lord, Yang Tong is completely according to my lord's words." ”

Pei Xing straightened his body and said: "This person is actually known to the general, it is Yangzhou Assassin Shi Yin Yuan." ”

Yang Tong was very surprised when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "Lord Yin actually knows medical skills, Yang didn't hear it wrong, right?" ”

Pei Xing said with a smile: "The general heard it right, the master Pei said is Yin Haoyuan, maybe the general only knew that Yin Tingshi was a master of Qing talk and a genius in argumentation, but you don't know that he lived in seclusion for ten years, devoted himself to the study of ancient medical skills, and his attainments are very profound." ”

Yang Tong was overjoyed and said: "Oh, Master Pei really woke up the dreamer with a word!" I'm going to ask Yin Tingshi to help and heal my mother. ”

Pei Xing said again: "This way, Pei has already pointed out this way for the general, but it is difficult to predict whether he can invite Master Shi to assassinate." ”

Yang Tong asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Pei Xing said again: "Hasn't the general heard some rumors about the history of Yin Thorn? ”

"Hey, it turns out that the adults are talking about those rumors, saying that Yin Tingshi is debauched, hypocritical, and extremely greedy, etc., Yang has had several interactions with Yin Tingshi, but he has never found out that he is as rumored. It's just that it is said that Yin Tingshi once drunk and humiliated adults, is this really the case? ”

Pei Xing smiled but didn't answer, Yang Tong said to himself: "No matter what, since there is a glimmer of hope, I will try my best." ”

In the post house, Yin Yuan was thinking about whether Pei Xing would say that Yang Tong would be moved, and if not, how to find clues. I saw that someone came to report and said that Yang Tong asked to see him. Yin Yuanxin: "This matter is done!" But he said to the comer: "Let's go back to him, because the official is busy with official business and has no time to meet him, so let him come back another day." ”

The subordinates were ordered to go back to Yang Tong, and after a while, the subordinates came to report Yin Yuan again, saying that Yang Tong said that it was a matter of human life, and asked the adults to meet him. Yin Yuan let out an "oh", ordered someone to let Yang Tong in, and then continued to bow his head and read the official documents.

Listening to the sound of footsteps "oh ooooh ”

Yin Yuan hurriedly put down the official document in his hand, got up and went to Yang Tong's approach, helped him up, and asked, "General Yang, why is this, please hurry up, and come slowly." Yang Tong stood up and told Yin Yuan about his mother's illness, explaining his intentions and wanting Yin Yuan to come to the rescue.

Yin Yuan smiled after hearing this: "General Yang is not confused, and this official is not Langzhong, how can he treat Ling Tang, or hurry up and ask for another Gao Ming, and he will not be delayed and sick." ”

Yang Tong saw that Yin Yuan did not agree, so he simply knelt down for Yin Yuan again, and said: "My lord, I heard that you have lived in seclusion for ten years to study medical skills, and you are a master of the apricot forest. As he spoke, he grabbed the ground with his head and kowtowed.

Yin Yuan helped Yang Tong up with both hands and said: "General Yang must not be like this, Yin does know some medical skills, and it is not that he can't diagnose Ling Tang, but Yin's situation at the moment is really difficult." Hey, no matter what, with General Yang's filial piety, Yin Mou will offend the powerful again, and he will have to cure Ling Tang's illness. The general leads the way, Yin will go now! Yang Tong was very grateful and followed Yin Yuan to save his mother.
