After a while, Yang He asked, "Do the soldiers of the Yongping Guard often come to the county seat of Funing County?" ”

Shopkeeper Sun said: "I used to come often, but in the past half a month, a large number of people have come from outside the Guan, and the soldiers in the guard station have targeted those fleeing people, often going to extort money, making those people cry bitterly. ”

Yang He was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "I heard that Funing County settles down the families of soldiers, and they don't even let go of the families of soldiers?" ”

Shopkeeper Sun shook his head: "What about the soldiers' families?" These people are all Liao people outside the Guan, and they are soldiers who have lost the battle, how can Meng Qiaofang take these people in his eyes? ”

Yang He's face suddenly became gloomy when he heard this.

Shopkeeper Sun was taken aback, and then said: "Aren't those people the family members of the military masters?" ”

Yang He sneered: "Those people are the families of the soldiers of Guangning City, and we escaped from Guangning. ”

Shopkeeper Sun was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Master Jun, the villain begs you, don't say that these things are told to you by the villain, otherwise, the villain's business will not be successful!" ”

"Shopkeeper Sun rest assured, he will never affect you." Yang He patted the hand of the shopkeeper Sun.

"Thank you, Master Jun, that villain retired." Shopkeeper Sun got up and said.

Yang He waved his hand: "Shopkeeper Sun is going to get busy." ”

After Shopkeeper Sun retreated, Li Maochun looked at Shopkeeper Sun's back, and suddenly lowered his voice and said to Yang He: "Fourth brother, I think this Shopkeeper Sun intends to tell us these things, I estimate that this person has been blackmailed by the officers and soldiers of Yongpingwei before, and he wants to instigate us to deal with the officers and soldiers of Yongpingwei. ”

Yang He smiled: "So what? ”

After a pause, Yang He continued: "Actually, as long as what he said is true, it can't be said to be provocative or not, because we will know such a thing sooner or later, it is nothing more than a day earlier and a day later." ”

Li Maochun groaned and said: "Fourth brother, how did we first arrive, we are not familiar with life, if it is not too much, let's bear with it." ”

Yang He nodded: "Don't worry, big brother, brother has a plan in his heart." ”

As soon as Yang He's words fell, he saw Zhang Shun hurriedly walk in with a soldier.

Looking around and seeing where Yang He was, Zhang Shun quickly ran to the front, leaned over and whispered a few words in Yang He's ear.

When Yang He heard this, Huo Ran got up: "That's right? Is it Sanshun's father and wife? ”

Zhang Shun pointed to the soldiers beside him: "He said that it was the father and mother-in-law of the Sanshun brothers." ”

The soldier saw Yang He looking at him, and hurriedly said, "It's not wrong, the villain has been to Brother Sanshun's house to drink before, and he has seen Brother Sanshun's father and mother-in-law." ”

"Let's go, take me to see it." Yang He said busily.

"Where is the fourth brother?" Li Maochun asked.

Yang He waved his hand: "You eat here, I'll go back." ”

Without further ado, he hurried out.

When Li Wei saw it, he beckoned to several of his own soldiers, and several of them immediately got up and followed behind Yang He.

Out of the restaurant, Yang He asked, "Which direction did you go?" ”

The soldier pointed to the east: "Go in this direction." ”

Zhang Shun continued: "Big brother, I see that Sanshun's mother-in-law is in a hurry to hold the child, it seems that the child is sick, and she should be looking for a pharmacy." ”

Yang He nodded, and strode away in the direction pointed by the soldier.

After walking half a street, I finally saw a pharmacy in front of me, Yang He and the others had just arrived at the door, and they heard one of them begging: "Doctor, please, treat the child, the old man has two buckets of rice here, all for you." ”

Yang He didn't have time to think about it, so he opened the curtain and entered the pharmacy.

Immediately, I saw a woman kneeling in front of the counter with a child in her arms, and an old man standing in front of the counter and pleading.

"You are Dong Sanshun's father?" Yang He stepped forward and asked.

"Yes, the old man is, I don't know who the military master is?" The old man looked back at Yang He and said suspiciously.

"Brother Sanshun used to be my subordinate." Yang He said.

When the old man heard this, he was like grasping a life-saving straw, and knelt in front of Yang He with a puff: "Official, please save Sanshun's child." ”

"Uncle, hurry up." Yang He hurriedly pulled Dong Laohan up, and then asked, "What disease does the child have?" ”

Dong Laohan shook his head: "Maybe I suffered from the wind chill last night, and this morning, I vomited and had diarrhea, and my body was cold and hot." ”

"It's typhoid fever." The doctor behind the counter said.

"Grab the medicine immediately, I'll give you as much as I want." Yang He said.

The doctor said: "Ginseng cinnamon soup, a total of fifteen pairs, needs one or two or five dollars of silver." ”

Yang He didn't have time to take out the money, and Zhang Shun next to him had already taken out the silver and handed it over: "Grab the medicine immediately." ”

The doctor was not in a hurry, and took out a small pole and prepared to weigh the silver.

Zhang Shun saw it, and a big slap fanned over: "Damn, hurry up and grab the medicine, the silver is all yours." ”

"You...... You ......," the doctor covered his face and was momentarily at a loss.

Zhang Shun glared and scolded: "You have listened to Lao Tzu and cured the child's illness, Lao Tzu will give you another five taels of silver, hurry up and grab the medicine." ”

When the doctor heard that the reward had been returned, he immediately forgot the pain, hurriedly grabbed the little man, and began to grab the medicine.

After a while, fifteen pairs of medicines were grasped, and the doctor found a piece of paper to wrap the medicine and handed it to Zhang Shun.

"How do I use medicine?" Yang He asked.

"Use a clay pot to contain, water and medicine flush, boil over high heat, boil on low heat for a moment, decoction twice with a pair of medicines, no more than three times, after the torment is good, mix the medicine boiled out twice and shake it evenly, and take it twice." The doctor said.

Yang He nodded, turned back to Zhang Shun and said, "Give him the reward first, and if you can't cure it, you will come back and smash his shop." ”

When the doctor heard that he was going to smash the store if he couldn't be cured, he immediately cried and said with a sad face: "Master Jun, how can there be a doctor in this world?" The child's sick villain must be accurate, as for whether it can be cured, it depends on whether the child's body can survive. This kid is weak, and the villain really doesn't dare to protect it! ”

"Huh?" Yang He glared at the doctor.

"In this way, the villain will grab a few pairs of medicines for the child to replenish qi." The doctor was busy.

As he spoke, the doctor began to grab the medicine again.

After grabbing the medicine, the doctor said: "Take this medicine before meals every day, try to drink japonica rice porridge during meals, and then drink the medicine just now." ”

Yang He nodded and said to Dong Laohan: "Uncle, come with me and find a place to boil medicine for the child." ”

"Thank you, thank you." Dong Laohan was busy.

Yang He sighed and said: "Uncle, my name is Yang He, don't call me official, just call me by my name, I promised Brother Sanshun, his father is my father, and I will treat his child as my own child." ”

"What's wrong with my Sanshun?" The woman asked.

Yang He looked at the woman and was speechless for a while.

When Dong Laohan and the woman saw each other, they immediately understood that Dong Sanshun was no longer there.

Seeing the desperate expressions on the faces of the two, Yang He said: "Sister-in-law, don't be sad, cure the child first, and I will settle you well." ”

The woman nodded silently and followed behind Yang He with the child in her arms.

After walking a few steps, Yang He asked, "Isn't there still a sister in Sanshun?" What about my sister? ”

"Housekeeping." Dong Laohan said.

"Where do you live?" Yang He asked.

"More than thirty miles south of the city." Dong Laohan said.

Yang He said: "When the matter on my side is finished, I will pick everyone up." ”

"Official, you said that you are the official of Sanshun, why hasn't the old man heard Sanshun say it before?" Dong Laohan said.

"We are the officers and soldiers of Xiping Fort, and after the rebellion in Guangning City was put down, the troops of Guangning City were absorbed, and the Sanshun brothers were incorporated into my team." Yang He said.

"Master Jun, how did my Sanshun die?" The woman asked suddenly.

Yang He sighed and said: "The Sanshun brothers and Luo Zongbing also had some seriously injured brothers who stayed behind to break the queen for us, and after Jianyu came, they detonated the gunpowder and died heroically. ”

Dong Laohan sighed when he heard this: "The old man has three sons, the first two died before they grew up, and the third child is left, the old man hopes that he can grow up smoothly and locally, so he named him Sanshun, but he didn't expect the elder to grow up, but in the end he ......"

Seeing that Dong Laohan and the woman were sad, Yang He didn't know how to comfort them, but fortunately, he had arrived at the restaurant at this time.

After entering the restaurant, Yang He asked the shopkeeper to arrange for someone to boil the medicine immediately, and asked the shopkeeper to arrange a room for the woman and the child to live temporarily.

After eating, Yang He asked Li Maochun to leave a silver ingot for Dong Laohan, and found them an inn, and after settling down, Yang He and the others went to the county office.

Although Funing County is small, the scale of the county government is not small, and the territory belonging to the county government accounts for more than half of the north of the central street of Funing County.

However, the county government has not been renovated for a long time, and many of the ridge tiles on the wall have fallen off, and the wall tiles have been weathered badly.

The main gate of the county government is a gatehouse, and the walls on both sides are in a figure-eight shape and connect with the two sides of the gatehouse. As the saying goes, the eight-character yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money, and the eight-character yamen refers to the eight-shaped wall at the entrance of the county yamen.

In the middle of the eight-character wall, in front of the main entrance stands two stone lions, due to the long days of wind and rain, the color of the lion body is a little blue. Behind the lion on the left, in front of the west wall, there is a sign.

There is a row of fences on both sides of the main gate, there are two stone tablets behind the fence on the left, a drum and a gong stand behind the fence on the right, and a plaque is hung above the gatehouse, which reads the four words of Funing County Bureau.

Yang He and the others walked to the door of the county office, only to see an elderly doorman sitting in front of the door, basking in the sun with his hands folded.

Seeing a group of officers and soldiers walking in front of the county yamen and suddenly stopped, the gate was startled and hurriedly stood up.

Seeing that the man stood with his hands solemn, his eyes full of fear, Li Maochun walked over and said with a smile: "I'm tired of telling the county lord, just say that Li Maochun is a guerrilla in Xipingbao and wants to see him." ”

The man listened and hurriedly said: "The general waits, and the villain will tell the county lord." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and ran briskly towards the courtyard. The courtyard behind the gatehouse can accommodate hundreds of people, and directly opposite is the lobby of the county office, but the gate did not enter the lobby, but entered through a side door next to the lobby.

The man was not young, but he ran fast, and he disappeared in an instant.

Li Maochun looked at Yang He, shook his head with a smile, and then ordered the soldiers to unload the boxes on the car and move them into the yamen courtyard.

After unloading the box, Yang He and the others waited in the courtyard again, and after a short time, several officials came out of the side door.
