Zuo Gui had been so angry with her ridicule that his beard was shaking, and after listening to what Zuo Shaoyang said, he knew that there was still this hidden story, and now he heard her so nonsense, reversing black and white, he was even more annoyed, and said coldly: "What my Zhong'er said is not inappropriate, it was the money sent by Ling Yan, and we naturally want to return Ling Yan after we redeem it, not to mention that Ling Yan personally told her that she must be returned, and it should be even more so." As for the matter of going to the yamen, you said it yourself, but you came to frame my Zhong'er, if you want to go, you can go, and you can distinguish right from wrong in black and white above the lobby! It's time to hit the board, it's time to be fined, it's time to be fined, it's time to be fined! Whoever is right and who is wrong will find out! ”

Sang Mu really didn't dare to go to the yamen, and she didn't dare to make a big deal about it, so she crooked her mouth and pointed at Zuo Gui and said, "Okay, you are a good Zuo Langzhong, you are so short-sighted!" My mother is busy with things now, and I don't have time to grind my teeth with you. After a while, I'll reason with you! As he spoke, he twisted his fat body and walked away.

Zuo Shaoyang took out the small bag of jewelry from his arms, and put the remaining seven hundred coins on the table: "Dad, what about the jewelry?" ”

"Keep the money for your mother, jewelry, you are responsible for keeping it, and when you see the little sister of the Sang family, return it to her in person. ――I heard you just say that the Sang family forced their daughter to be a concubine for the shopkeeper Zhu of Jinyu Restaurant, what happened? ”

Zuo Shaoyang told the matter.

Zuo Gui frowned and listened, and said: "If they don't make trouble in the yamen about this matter, we shouldn't worry about it, after all, it's a family matter, don't go outside to talk about it." ”

Zuo Shaoyang agreed, thinking of Huang Qin's plan to tell him Sang Xiaomei, he was a little funny in his heart, it is estimated that Sang Xiaomei's method can work, this family business that Zhu shopkeeper is only afraid that he will make a mess and not take advantage of it, so he is not worried, and said: "By the way, Ni Er of Huimin Hall was sued by the Sui shopkeeper to the yamen because he killed the old mother of the Sui shopkeeper of the porcelain shop, saying that he poisoned the medicine." Ni Er has been locked away by the people of the Yamen. ”

Zuo Gui didn't have a good impression of this Ni Er, but after all, they were all fellow practitioners, and when he heard that someone else had an accident with medicine, he was still a little concerned, and he was busy asking what was going on.

Zuo Shaoyang said what he heard.

Zuo Gui listened to it and said in a deep voice: "The surname of the medicine decoction of the big aconitum is not easy to grasp, and the dosage of aconitum is very large, and accidents are frequent. If you encounter quacks, you are more likely to have accidents. Alas! Quacks are fiercer than tigers! ”

――――――――――――――――――

Shijing County Ya.

Dr. Ni was in a hurry in the flower hall with his hands behind his back.

Ni Er is Dr. Ni's younger brother, and when the accident happened, Dr. Ni happened to go to the doctor, and when he came back, he learned that Ni Er was locked by the yamen.

Dr. Ni hurriedly called the shop guy who followed Ni Er to the Sui family to inquire about the disease, and learned what had happened, although he felt that this matter was a little strange, but he was not so flustered, thinking that the Sui family was just trying to make a little money, so he brought a heavy gift to the Sui family to apologize for the crime, and wanted to compensate for a sum of money, but when he arrived at the gate of the Sui family's courtyard, the people didn't even give a report, but only said something in court.

Seeing that the Sui family was so tough, Dr. Ni knew that things were not good, and after coming back, he pondered again and again, so he brought a heavy gift to see the county order.

He is also an old friend of Qian County, and when Qian Countyling is sick, he also asks him to see a doctor. In the past, when he came to visit, Qian County Commander directly welcomed him to the inner office to speak, but this time, the porter led him to the flower hall where he was an ordinary guest, and the big box of gifts was not accepted as before, so it was left in the flower hall, and Qian County Commander also did not show up under the pretext of official business. This made Dr. Ni even more frightened, and secretly felt that the situation was not good.

Just when he was waiting like a burning heart, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, the attendant at the door finally dragged out his voice and said, "The county master has arrived!" ”

Dr. Ni hurriedly took a few steps forward, bowing his head and arching his waist.

Qian Xianling was thin and thin, glanced at him, didn't speak, shook three times, walked slowly to the middle chair, dusted off his clothes, and said in a long tone: "Sit down!" ”

"Thank you, Lord for the seat!" Dr. Ni had never seen Qian County Ling so cold, not only was he even more frightened, but he sat down on the next guest chair. But he didn't dare to sit with a big stab, he still owed his body, and only sat on his ass halfway.

The attendant next to him brought a cup of tea, and Qian Xianling picked it up and tasted it slowly, but did not speak.

Doctor Ni endured his surname, and when he put down the teacup, he said with a smile on his face: "Master, today it is called the old ......, this, in the next ......, well, the villain ......, cough cough," he pondered several titles, the old decay that was used before, and now he has something to ask for, and he feels that he is a little bit of relying on the old and selling the old, not polite enough, and he is replaced by the next, and he feels that the tone of the rivers and lakes is not formal enough, and the surname Suo is replaced by a humble villain, coughing lightly, and continued: "The villain is taking the liberty to visit today, disturbing the adult's official business, it is really embarrassing, but, The younger brother was arrested, and he was anxious, so he came to the door with a cheeky face, wanting to find out what was going on, and if there was a misunderstanding, he would explain it to the adults. ”

Dr. Ni got up and walked to the wall, brought the big box over, put it at the foot of Qian County Ling, gently opened the lid, there were a few silk horses inside, and a small box with black background painted with gold and silver edges at the four corners, took it out, carefully placed it on the coffee table next to Qian County Ling, pressed the lock, and opened it with a click, and there was a box full of silver ingots.

Doctor Ni bowed over and said with a smile: "Although the younger brother is not careful, his medical skills are still passable, and he will never make a mistake to treat people, so I am afraid that there will be ...... among them."

"The county didn't say that he killed people by mistake!" Qian Xian Ling finally spoke, still in a tone, stretched out two thin old hands, and looked at his fingernails, his eyes didn't glance at the small box and the big box, as if his fingernails were more interesting than those silk and silver.

Dr. Ni is old and sophisticated, and when he heard the words of Qian County's order, he was even more surprised, and hurriedly weighed the words and said: "This ......, the medical skills of the younger brother are not under the villain, although the big aconitum decoction is poisonous, it is also an ordinary prescription, and it is usually used too much, and it will never go wrong. ”

Qian Xianling snorted coldly, clapped his hands, and a waiter came in from outside the door, and Qian Xianling said, "Please ask Dr. Tang to come here." ”

"Yes!"

"Wait, um...... call Medical Officer An too."

"Yes, sir."

In the Tang Dynasty, there were medical offices in the prefectures and counties, and the yamen medical offices in medium-sized states such as Hezhou had a doctor of medicine, who was from the ninth grade. That is, the last class. In addition, there is one teaching assistant and 12 students. The main responsibility is to manage the pharmaceutical industry in the jurisdiction, which is equivalent to the current Food and Drug Administration, in addition, it has the function of a local medical school, which usually teaches students, and has the responsibility of leading students to tour the medical treatment when there is an epidemic in the locality.

Dr. Tang mentioned by the Qian County Order just now is the leader of the State Yamen Medical Office, although he is only the last first-class official from the ninth grade, and the Qian County Order is on the seventh grade, which is far from the same, but the people are sent by the higher departments to assist in the investigation of the case, even if there is no relationship between the Lord Assassin Shi in it, it is also to give him three points of face, not to mention that this Dr. Tang was personally assigned by the State Assassin Shi to assist in the investigation of the case, to a certain extent, on behalf of the Lord Assassin Shi, of course, the Qian County Order is more respectful, and said the word "please", As for the medical officer of the county medical office, it will be notified directly.

Dr. Ni knew both of these two medical officers, but he was not familiar with them, and at this moment, he heard that the state yamen had sent a medical doctor to come down in person, and when he saw that Qian County Ling didn't look at the box of gifts at all, he felt even more bad in his heart, and he was afraid that this matter would be more auspicious. Knowing that these two would come soon, he didn't dare to delay, and after the attendant went out, he hurriedly bowed his body and said with a crying voice: "Master, can you look at the thin face of the villain, guide the maze, and save the younger brother." ”

Qian County Ling heard that he was pitiful, and finally sighed, and said in a low voice: "Doctor Ni, it's not that the county won't help you, this matter is ......, alas, it is indeed very tricky." ”

"Huh? Isn't this Sui shopkeeper the one who opened a porcelain shop, could it be that there is really any origin? ”

Qian Xian Ling glanced at the door, and his voice lowered: "This Sui shopkeeper himself is nothing, and he can't stand the fact that there is someone behind him!" Do you know who this Sui mother, that is, the old lady that your brother killed? ”

"Who?"

"Ouyang Thorn Shi's nurse!"

In the early Tang Dynasty, the prefect of the state-level yamen was called "Thorn History", and on the fourth grade, because the local permanent administrative institutions in the early Tang Dynasty were prefectures and counties, the "Dao" was set up in the first year of the Zhenguan of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, which was similar to the modern "province" on the surface, but the Dao of the Tang Dynasty was not a permanent administrative body, and there were no permanent administrative officials, but only set up supervision officials to assist the central government in supervising local prefectures and counties as needed, with the surname of inspection, and no direct management power. Therefore, the state assassin is actually the highest local administrator, with a higher rank than the mayor of the prefecture-level city.

Due to the large number of prefectures in the Tang Dynasty reaching more than 300, the jurisdiction was much smaller than the current provincial level, and at the same time, the power was also controlled by the provincial supervision officials, so it can be understood that the assassin history is between the prefecture-level city mayor or the regional administrative commissioner, but slightly weaker than the provincial governor.

Doctor Ni's heart suddenly felt cold, the old mother of the Sui shopkeeper who was killed by his younger brother turned out to be the nurse of the state thorn history! The state thorn history ate other people's milk when he was a child, and generally it seems that the nurse is nothing, but if this official is very filial and has the virtue of lamb kneeling, then it will be troublesome, and I happened to hear that this state thorn history is a Confucian official who particularly advocates filial piety, and this matter is only afraid that it will not end well!

Seeing him like this, Qian Xianling was also quite sympathetic, shook his head and said: "This Sui mother was a nurse in Ouyang's house in the early years, and she was conscientious and responsible, and she was quite appreciated by Ouyang's parents, so she later rewarded her with a lot of money, and also helped her son, that is, the Sui shopkeeper, to open this porcelain shop. Three approvals have been issued, and the county is responsible for thoroughly investigating the matter, and the murderer must be severely punished, so as to sacrifice the soul of the nursing mother in heaven. Alas! Dr. Ni, please forgive the county for not being able to do anything. ”

These words were like thunder on the air switch, shaking Dr. Ni on the spot, and he couldn't make a sound.
