The next day, Ma Chao went to visit Zhou Bida when he had nothing to do.

Now Zhou Bida is participating in political affairs, and this official is a position set up by the Song Dynasty in order not to let the prime minister's power be too concentrated, sharing some of the prime minister's rights, and nominally being the prime minister's replacement.

Today's right prime minister is Shi Hao, who is equivalent to the current prime minister, and he has every opportunity. As a political adviser, of course, he will not be idle, and he has a lot of work under him, so it stands to reason that a petty official like Ma Chao who went to Beijing to report on his work, Zhou Bida does not have to deal with it.

However, some people used some means in order to let Zhou Bida deal with Xin Qiji, and Zhou Bida knew everything about what Ma Chao did in Tanzhou, and because of this, Zhou Bida had a reason to see it.

Ma Chao walked into the hall and saw Zhou Bida drinking tea in the master's position, so he kowtowed from a distance and greeted Zhou Bida. Zhou Bi's eyes narrowed, as if he was smiling, but he walked a few steps quickly, helped Ma Chao up and said: "I have heard some about the affairs of Master Ma, and the affairs of Tanzhou have contributed a lot." ”

"The matter of Tanzhou, there is nothing to do with me, it was done by Lord Xin Qiji, and it really has nothing to do with the villain."

"Master Ma doesn't have to be humble."

Ma Chao smiled and said resolutely: "It's really all the credit of Lord Xin Qiji." ”

What else did Zhou Bida want to say, Ma Chao didn't know what Zhou Bida meant, he didn't want to admit it, so he staggered the topic and said: "This time the villain came, I heard that Lord Zhou had a horse that was sick." ”

Zhou Bida heard this, smiled and said, "I do have a horse that is sick. ”

Ma Chao smiled and said, "Then let's take a look at Ma Bei first." ”

Zhou Bida asked people to lead Ma Chao to the horse ring, he went back to change out of his regular clothes, put on a narrow coat for horseback riding, and also came to watch. The sick is a black rabbit horse, and the horse has a rabbit head, which is a characteristic of a good horse, so ancient people like to use rabbit heads to describe it, such as the ancient famous red rabbit horse.

The horse was really sick, with a dull coat and a very large belly, and Ma Chao checked it and found that the horse was only constipated and had a swollen belly. Such a disease is not a serious illness, but over time, it may endanger the life of the horse.

Ma Chao asked the horse servant to help, washed his hands, oiled them, and put them into the anus to take out the feces that were dried inside, and after giving him talc, castor beans, and medicine, he rode and jogged, and when the horses farted a few times and regenerated new feces, the tight stomach would slowly relax back.

This treatment took about an hour, and the black rabbit horse was fine, and the horse servants in this big official mansion were all first-class talents, and when they saw Ma Chao reaching out to get it, they were all amazed and admired.

When Ma Chao was done, Zhou Bida came over and said, "I didn't expect that Master Ma is really a horse doctor." ”

Ma Chao smiled and said, "I often hear this sentence, I was originally a horse doctor, otherwise what do you think I do?" ”

Zhou Bida also smiled, and suddenly said, "Thank you for saving the old master." ”

The old master is the person Ma Chao is looking for, Zhou Bida suddenly said this, which made Ma Chao a little inexplicable, and his expression was not well controlled, Zhou Bida laughed and added: "My horse is called Old Master, this animal is called Old Master, and people can be called Old Master, Lin'an City is so big, there are really a lot of things called Old Master." This sentence is quite mysterious, but Ma Chao vaguely guessed that there may be more than one old master who controls the gang.

This Zhou Bida is a little interesting, Ma Chao was about to say goodbye, and when he left, he said: "Thank you Lord Zhou for giving me a housekeeper." ”

"Master Ma, I don't know the place well in Lin'an City, so I always have to have a local to help." Ma Chao glanced at Zhou Bida, and suddenly felt that Zhou Bida's smile was a little mysterious. (To be continued.) )
