Chapter 553: Kneeling and begging
readx;
Zuo Shaoyang kissed her and said, "I knew you would speak for her." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info However, I have already said it, unless the emperor declares me innocent. Otherwise, I wouldn't have treated him and his family! This principle will never waver! My healing skills are not for the enemy! β
Miao Peilan's eyes that were originally full of anticipation suddenly dimmed.
Zuo Shaoyang hugged her tightly, smiled, and twisted his face gently: "That's it, it's rare for my Lan'er to beg me for the first time, I'll treat them half, okay?" β
Miao Peilan said happily: "Okay, good! ββWhat do you mean to cure half of it? β
"It's just that half of the cure will be gone, slowly dragging it on, when they help me clear my grievances, when I will help them cure the disease."
"However, Old Lady Yu and they shouldn't have been involved in Du Jing's affairs, right?"
"What I asked them to help me clear my name is to frame me for embezzling the emperor's funds, this matter is that they are in collusion with Du Jing, although the emperor does not pursue this matter, but not because I am innocent, but because my senior brother interceded, in fact, the emperor believes in the old lady Yu in his heart. I must clear this grievance! β
"What if, what if they keep doing this? Are you still cured of the other half? β
"Of course not!" Zuo Shaoyang said categorically, "I said, I have no obligation to help my enemies and their families heal!" β
Hearing Zuo Shaoyang's words, Miao Peilan didn't dare to say more, but fortunately, Zuo Shaoyang had already promised to help them treat half of them, so he should be able to delay for a while to see if there was a turnaround. In her heart, of course, she hopes that the other party can tell the truth and help the master clear his guilt, and the master also helps them cure their diseases.
Zuo Shaoyang poked Miao Peilan: "What are you thinking?" β
"I didn't ......, I didn't think about anything......"
"Then don't you tell Yu Yanyan and let him carry his grandfather and father to the empty room next door so that they can be healed."
Miao Peilan was pleasantly surprised: "Will you treat it now?" β
"Do you still want to pick a child?"
Miao Peilan grinned, quickly got up and put on her dress, held up an oilcloth paper umbrella, went out through the courtyard, opened the courtyard door, and said to Yu Yanyan, who was kneeling under the steps: "Girl, get up quickly, our grandfather has promised to treat your grandfather and father, but only half of the treatment!" β
Yu Yanyan's whole person was already dazed and crumbling by the wind and cold, and when she heard the words that she was willing to heal, she couldn't take care of it, and she was so happy that she shook her delicate body and almost fainted. The two maids who had been accompanying them with umbrellas not far away had already heard clearly, although they didn't understand what it meant to cure half of them for a while, they were so excited that they hurriedly ran over, one Yu Yanyan helped her up, and then one supported her, and the other ran outside to report.
This is death row, it is impossible to live here without the emperor's imperial approval, even if the imperial approval is to visit the prison, but they can't live in it, so the old lady Yu and the others found a few houses outside the death row gate to live. And the cell head and the jailer of the prison have already been explained, as long as Zuo Shaoyang agrees to treat them, they can be allowed to enter the soft forbidden area. The soft exclusion zone has been isolated from other areas for death row prisoners, but it is also easy to guard.
Not long after, the old lady Yu and the two concubines and several concubines were carried in on the soft couch. came to Zuo Shaoyang's courtyard gate. Old Lady Yu was already in a coma, but Imperial Doctor Yu was still awake, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you......, thank you Lord Zuo!" β
"I'm not Lord Zuo, call me Zuo Langzhong, otherwise, you will go to your Lord Zuo for treatment!" Zuo Shaoyang said coldly.
"Yes, Zuo Langzhong, thank you."
"No need, I'm not looking at your face, nor is I looking at your daughter Yu Yanyan's face, I just looked at the face of my concubine Lan'er before I promised to treat you half, you hold a grudge and have been framing me for embezzling the emperor's funds, before my grievances are washed away, I won't give you a complete cure, only the treatment is general, slowly dragging, if my grievances are cleared, the emperor will acquit me, I will cure you, if the emperor still does not find out the truth, he will behead me after the autumn. You will die with me. β
Only then did Imperial Physician Yu know what it meant to cure half. Then he said: "We have really made this matter clear to the emperor, so the emperor will not pursue this matter." Now that Zuo Langzhong is in prison, it is Du Jing's refusal to retract his confession......"
"Okay, you don't have to argue, I don't want to hear it now, I just need one result, and that is my acquittal! Until then, I will not cure you of the disease. And with that, carry the man into the courtyard. β
A considerable number of the court officials who had been treated before had been indirectly infected, and their illnesses were relatively mild, and the treatment was relatively timely, so a small number of them had already been cured and left the prison, and some of the houses were vacated.
The head of the village immediately arranged for them to live in the room. Zuo Shaoyang wore a mask, carried a medical box on his back, held a registration book, and diagnosed patients one by one.
During the examination, I suddenly heard a janitor come in and bow down to report: "Young Master, Lord Liu and Lord Du may know, and they are also kneeling on the rainy ground when they are asking to see them outside the door at this moment......
"Let them kneel!" Zuo Shaoyang said coldly, "They put me on death row, and I deserve to die on my knees!" Zuo Shaoyang was diagnosing with Doctor Yu, Doctor Yu had woken up slightly, he didn't hear what Zuo Shaoyang said in front of him about half of the treatment, and he heard the conversation between Zuo Shaoyang and the janitor, and he was happy and frightened in his heart, for fear that he would make Zuo Shaoyang unhappy by saying the wrong thing, so he didn't treat him, so he quickly closed his eyes.
After Zuo Shaoyang finished the diagnosis and registered his condition, he left the room with an umbrella on his back.
The rain was falling heavily, hitting the umbrellas of the tarpaulin paper, rustling. Zuo Shaoyang came out of the courtyard gate, and saw Liu Zhenghui and Du Jing kneeling on the ground, with two servants next to them, both of them were already very seriously ill, although they had not yet reached a critical state, but they could no longer kneel alone in the rain.
Zuo Shaoyang stood still and sneered: "Don't expect me to be soft-hearted like this, this involves my surname, I can only pull the two of you and your family back!" I said, even if you scold me for being ruthless and not saving me, I don't care. You've scolded you like that, and now you're kneeling again, what are you doing? Could it be that he has come up with a new idea to fix me? β
Liu Zhenghui coughed weakly, kept spitting bloody phlegm into the servant's handkerchief, and said in a wailing voice: "Zuo Gongzi, I, cough cough cough...... I was wrong, I still said the same sentence, I don't ask you to save my surname, if Childe is beheaded, I will pay Childe a life, but, please save my family, especially my grandson ......, cough cough cough ......"
"Don't save! I also said that unless you confess, help me clear my guilt, and let the emperor acquit me. And let me cross east to the Wa Kingdom, and I will heal you!" β
Liu Zhenghui saw that his wife and children, especially the only seedling of his Liu family, were about to die, and finally relented and decided to withdraw from this thankless revenge, -- he himself had no long-term grudge against Zuo Shaoyang, all because of the enmity between his wife and brother Yu Lao Taiyi and the Zuo family, and he came to this point in a short way. As a result, he put his family name and life into it, and saw that his family was dying, so he had to wake up. Decide to withdraw from self-preservation.
Therefore, Liu Zhenghui nodded and said: "I have thought about it, in this matter, it is a wrong decision for me to interfere, harming others and myself, alas! It's never too late to make amends. I am ready to immediately start writing a letter to the emperor, explaining that there are still unclear points in this case, such as the questioning of the Du family's housekeeper, Quzhou Assassin Shi and others, and so on. cough cough cough ......, but I am seriously ill and no longer suitable to be in charge of the investigation of this case, please ask the emperor to send another virtuous person to re-examine the ...... of this case, cough cough cough ......"
Zuo Shaoyang was overjoyed, this is good news! But his face remained unmoved, and he said lightly: "Who are you going to recommend to re-investigate my case?" β
"This is up to the emperor, but if you have a trusted minister of the court, you can recommend it, and you can report it to the emperor in the middle of the song. cough cough cough ......"
"Forget it, I don't have any trustworthy ministers, let the emperor decide for himself, otherwise, if you say I'm cheating, I want justice, not just a verdict of innocence."
"Okay, I'll draft it as soon as I get back, and I'll quit the case regardless of whether my son is willing to treat my wife and children. Don't ask about it anymore! cough cough cough ......"
"Oh?" Zuo Shaoyang sneered, "Aren't you doing this so that I can treat your wife and children?" β
"Yes and no!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Of course, I hope that Childe can treat my wife and children, if Childe holds a grudge against me and wants to anger my family, I have nothing to say, cough cough cough ......, after all, Childe had warned us at the beginning, it was I who didn't believe Childe's words at the time, and this caused many ministers and their families to be infected with terminal diseases. I feel guilty. If so, it will be my retribution! cough cough cough ......"
"From what you say, it looks like that's the case. Okay, in that case, I'll also take a step, you report the fold, and the emperor decides to retry the case, I will treat your wife and children, but I will only heal half of them, that is, I will only cure half of them. Because it is good for you to let someone else re-investigate this case, and it will help my case to be cleared, but what I want is the result, and before I get acquitted, I said that I will not cure your family. As for you and Du Jing, after I am acquitted, I can consider treating you half of them, and then, after I cross to the Wa Kingdom to reunite with my family, I will help you two be cured. I have other arrangements at the old lady's side. β
Liu Zhenghui didn't expect Zuo Shaoyang to agree so happily, he was grateful, and his snot and saliva flowed down the rain.
Liu Zhenghui, supported by his servants, staggered back.
Zuo Shaoyang looked at Du Jing, who was kneeling there without saying a word: "What about you?" What are you doing on your knees? Aren't you looking for a killer to murder my family, why don't you do it yet? β
