Chapter 19 Repaying the Favor

"Pantou." Song Yang finally gave the answer, and then his eyes turned and looked at Xiao Zhukuai: "If I guessed correctly, after this murder case of the corpse chaser is over, the next case you want to investigate is called 'Where are the six official horses'." ”

Xiao Yu quickly 'oops' and stared at Song Yang with a 'you are amazing' gaze: "How do you know?" ”

"It's not hard to guess." Song Yang smiled and continued: "There are only three official horses in Yanziping's yamen, and the reason is simpler, Pantou colluded with county officials and colleagues, embezzled public funds, and privately divided the horse money allocated by the imperial court; Not only those few official horses, but you have also seen how dilapidated our county government in Yanziping is, and the money allocated by the imperial court every year to repair the yamen has also been embezzled by them; There should have been a stone building archway marked with the name of the place in front of the town, but there was not... If you investigate these cases a little, you will be able to find out the truth, and then you will not be able to run from top to bottom, and you will all have to be arrested and imprisoned. ”

"But I think you understand one thing," Song Yang suddenly changed the conversation, and the topic diverted: "The local officials are all private placements of the yamen, and there are only ten taels of silver every year for 'work and food'. On average, it is less than 30 yuan a day, and one person's food and clothing are barely enough, but how can he support his family. Therefore, there is no honesty in this profession, deducting public funds from the upper authorities and exploiting the people from the lower levels. But Yanziping is too small and too remote, the officials were born and raised here, when they were young, they were crazy to the point that they were hungry and just pushed the door open and went in to eat, and when they grew up, how could they knock on the bamboo poles of these neighborhoods. They are occasionally domineering and domineering in the townships and towns, but there is absolutely no such thing as stealing and taking advantage of the opportunity to blackmail. And when something really happens to the townspeople, they don't hesitate to do their best. ”

"The officials of Yanziping are reluctant to deal with the villagers, but they also want to make money, so they put their minds on the public funds allocated from above, and not all public funds are embezzled. They were greedy for money, but they did not use the money to control the water and repair the dam; They were greedy for the money for the repair of the yamen, but they did not use the money for irrigation by the diversion canal; They were greedy for the money of the stone building archway, but they did not move the money to open up the mountains. ”

Song Yang exhaled a long breath: "That's the matter, all the servants who embezzle public funds should be arrested, but before you handle this case, you must first think about one place: you are handling a case for the sake of handling a case; It's still for the sake of the folks on Yanzipan. ”

Ren Xiaozhuo frowned: "Is there a difference?" ”

Song Yang responded: "The difference is not big, only that: the current batch of officials are corrupt but also love this town; After they were defeated, the next group of new officials were corrupt, but they didn't love the town. ”

Ren Xiaoyu thought about it, and finally nodded and smiled: "Got it." After speaking, his eyes rolled up, and he said a little impatiently: "A little thing, such a long talk, you are very verbose." ”

Song Yang also laughed: "I'm not afraid of wordiness, as long as I can explain things clearly." ”

Pantouer is not a qualified official, but for Yanziping, he is good enough, and he even deserves a sentence: having him as a head catcher is a blessing for the town...... The barbarian's feet were fast, and at dusk, Song Yang, who was lying on the stretcher, had already seen Yanziping from a distance, and then saw Pantouer, who had received the news, with a group of subordinates, hurriedly catching up.

The barbarian who was in charge of escorting him didn't care who was coming up, and as soon as he saw someone approaching, he immediately raised the hammer in his hand and shouted bitterly in his mouth, warning the visitor to retreat immediately. But this time, before Song Yang could speak, Ren Xiaoyu sat up and said angrily: "Don't be rude to the head of the pan!" ”

The barbarian does things with a tendon, he said before'escort home', he must send the two of them home to finish the matter, even if he has arrived outside the town, he refuses to hand over the stretcher to the official, Pantouer doesn't care much about Ren Xiaozhuo, but he watched Song Yang grow up, and when he saw him return safely, he was really down-to-earth, so he naturally didn't bother with the barbarians, and brought people to follow them, and he was happy and naturally inevitably asked about what happened.

Song Yang skipped all the process in the meantime, only said that the barbarian brigade arrived that night, and the two of them were escorted when chasing the murderer, and then chased the murderer, and the two sides fought, he and Ren Xiaoyu were also injured and trapped in the mountains, and were found by another group of barbarians not long ago, clarified the misunderstanding, and so on.

Ren Xiaozhu just listened from the sidelines and did not interject.

Pantou didn't want to have him, and stretched out his hand and pointed to the box and a large number of moon blades: "What are these?" Ren Xiaoyu hurriedly grabbed the words: "This is a gift from Shanximan." "Such a domineering weapon, Rao is a small catcher is 'fair and honest', and he is reluctant to let it be confiscated......

Soon everyone entered the town and sent Song Yang home first.

The door is locked, and there is no one in the house. Song Yang's heart sank, the blade of grass that he had planted diagonally on the door lock before he left was still there, but it had become yellow. Doctor You never came back...... After the door was opened, more than a dozen dogs and seven or eight cats in the yard greeted them like bees, and the small courtyard was immediately chaotic. There are dog holes in his yard, and when the owner can't feed them, the cats and dogs will go out to forage for food on their own, so they don't have to worry about starving to death.

Ren Xiaozhu smiled: "Good guy, isn't it annoying to raise so many beasts?" ”

Song Yang responded casually: "They are all wild cats and wild dogs that have no owners, and my uncle thinks they are pitiful, so he adopts them." As he spoke, he instructed the barbarians to put the wooden box and the wrapped moon blade in the house.

Ren Xiaoyu sat on the stretcher, looked at Song Yang's home with curiosity in his eyes, and soon found something new, pointed to the only big tree in the yard and said, "Why are there so many ways on the trunk, who painted it?" What is it used for? ”

Song Yang was absent-minded and ignored it, but Ren Xiaoyu quickly came up with an answer and said with a smile: "This is a 'height ruler'!" You are used to keep track of your height? Your uncle loves you very much. ”

Maybe it's a lifelong plot and hard work; Maybe it's the feeling of 'relying on each other' born in seclusion in a foreign land, or maybe it's the feeling of watching the doll grow day by day and nature, in the fifteen years since he settled in Yanziping, Taiyi You has been very good to Song Yang.

Doctor You's surname is Zi Mu Ne, no matter how much he likes this Song Yang, who has been with him since he was a child, he will not be as intimate and affectionate as other parents, let alone teach children the truth of being a man, he just spends money, what other children have, my doll must have; What other children can't eat, my doll must eat it, as for Song Yang himself whether he cares about this, he doesn't care.

Almost all the money he earned was spent by him on Song Yang.

In addition, it is not allowed for others to say that Song Yang is not good, otherwise the thin bamboo pole will stare at others to fight...... Fortunately, Song Yang has had the experience of being a human being for a lifetime, if he was an ordinary child, he would have been spoiled by Mrs. You a long time ago.

Moreover, from Imperial Doctor You, he hid his identity and never revealed his medical skills, but he taught Song Yang all his skills without concealment, which also shows his love for Song Yang.

If it weren't for that, Song Yang wouldn't have to run back to the town to join his 'uncle' and then escape together.

In the past, Imperial Physician You would occasionally go out to go around, sometimes to the edge of the mountains to collect medicine, and sometimes to the big town in front of him, but at most he only walked for seven or eight days, and he never came back for more than half a month like this time...... Just when Song Yang was puzzled, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Imperial Doctor You came back with two black bags under his eyes and a small burden on his back.

There are now barbarians and officials in his house, and they are standing in a mess in a courtyard, and when Imperial Doctor You saw so many people, he was stunned at first, and then looked again, and found that Song Yang was injured and lying on a stretcher, and his thin bamboo pole's face immediately changed, and he stepped forward quickly: "Why is it injured?" ”

He is a first-class famous doctor, a little diagnosis of the pulse, and when he looks at the wound again, he immediately understands that Song Yang was injured, and the old man's forehead is bruised, and he looks like 'I haven't killed anyone for three days': "Who beat you?" ”

Imperial Doctor You didn't look like something was going on at all, Song Yang was relieved first, shook his head with a smile and was about to speak, when Ren Xiaoyu on the side grabbed the words and said: "You are not at home, he ran an errand with me, and there was an accident......

Before he finished speaking, Imperial Physician You was furious, completely indiscriminate, and roared sharply: "Song Yang has good bones and brains, how could there be an accident?" You're involved with him, aren't you? ”

If it weren't for Pan Tou'er's quick hand to stop him, Imperial Doctor You would have jumped over and grabbed Ren Xiaozhuo's face right now. Song Yang is powerless now, so he can only persuade loudly, but his 'uncle' doesn't listen, he just wants to rush forward.

This can make Ren Xiaoyu angry, the little girl is usually majestic, but when she really wants to quarrel, she can't say anything, she holds her breath and grits her teeth for a long time, and finally only hates and says: "You... You're sick! ”

Doctor You jumped to his feet: "Not only am I sick, but I also have fire tongs, a bone chopping knife, a willow coffin, a feng shui cemetery, a spiritual seat and incense candles prepared for you, but there is no medicine to save your life!" ”

Even Song Yang was dumbfounded, muttering in his heart: Where did he learn it.

Doctor You was furious, not only did he flee from the wilderness, but even the head of the pan and the barbarians were all scolded by him and ran away. He chased to the door and scolded a few words in anger, then turned around and went back to the house, grabbed Song Yang's wrist and asked again, ready to treat the baby's nephew.

Song Yang smiled bitterly: "Xiao Zhukuai is indeed confused, but she didn't bother me, on the contrary, she also helped me a lot, without her, I may not be able to come back alive." ”

Imperial Doctor You was stunned for a moment and looked up: "Did I scold the wrong person?" ”

Song Yang affirmed: "The scolding is wrong." ”

Imperial Physician You threw away Song Yang's wrist, stood up and turned around and left: "I'll go and see his leg injury first, and you can treat it when I come back." ”

The old man said to leave, Song Yang smiled bitterly: "I have seen her legs, it is fine, but on our side, there are some urgent matters to discuss quickly......"

Imperial Physician You didn't look back at all, and threw down the sentence: "There is nothing more anxious than repaying the favor!" And he hurried out.
