Two days ago, a certain arrangement had been opened in the city. As the prefect, Qian Mingzheng naturally wanted to go to the border of Guangxin Mansion to welcome the upcoming cabinet chief assistant Xia Yan. Among the subordinates who went with him and had a grade, only Liu Wenjing, who had a particularly close relationship with him, had this honor. In addition, officials of all sizes in Guangxin Mansion had to wait patiently at the gate of the city.

The streets in the city that the officials were going to pass through were naturally garrisoned by a group of people under the leadership of the prefect's yamen and the prefect's yamen under the head catcher of the prefect's yamen. Although the sun in the middle of summer was very large, they had to endure it, after all, the person who protected it was the official of the dynasty.

Because the weather was too hot and there was no fan or air conditioner to blow, Li Wenxuan had no intention of reading or taking medicine, so he had to hold a pu fan in his right hand and sit idly under a big locust tree in his garden to enjoy the shade. I know what is going to happen during this period of time. However, he didn't care at all, after all, the official gentry who wanted to tie up with Xia Yan was a cow for many days.

Li Wenxuan, who has a natural heart, although he has already gained a reputation in the territory of Guangxin Mansion, he is not keen on the welcome and delivery of mixed identities and circles like the local gentry. Su Meiniang, who wanted to see what kind of pomp was in the first class of the dynasty, pulled Zhao Tian'er and brought the slave maids and cuckoos at home, and went out after breakfast.

At this time, Li Wenxuan, who was lying on the free chair, closed his eyes, held the right hand of the pu fan, and slowly fanned himself. In this lazy attitude, I fell asleep unconsciously. After a while, a burst of very rapid footsteps suddenly sounded, and then a group of people rushed into the garden.

"Daochang Li, Daochang Li, you should wake up!" Liu Wenjing, who took the lead, stood beside Li Wenxuan, gently shaking the other party's arm with his hand, and shouted hurriedly.

There was a sudden uneasiness in his subconscious, and Li Wenxuan, who woke up, suddenly opened his eyes and saw that he was surrounded by people in the government. He was surprised at first, and then quickly regained his composure. He thought that he had always been law-abiding, and he was not cheated and deceived, so naturally they would not come to arrest him. Even if they really came to arrest themselves, they didn't need Liu Wenjing, who was a local parent official, to come forward in person.

Li Wenxuan, who noticed that the people who came did not have shackles or chains, saw that their expressions and eyes were still quite kind when they looked at him. He sat up unhurriedly, and raised his head slightly to look at the sun. I knew that it was still early at noon, so I kept shaking the fan in my hand and said, "It stands to reason that you should be very busy." What did you come to me for? ”

Liu Wenjing, who had long been anxious, was not as relaxed and leisurely as him, and he did not drag his feet at all: "I'm tired of Li Daochang, hurry up and go with me to the prefect's yamen!" ”

Li Wenxuan, who noticed his expression, expected that the other party was not here to invite him to the banquet, but most of them begged for something: "Since the county lord came to invite him personally, then I will definitely not refuse." However, you always have to inform you in advance so that you can be prepared so that you don't get caught blind when you get it. ”

Liu Wenjing, who felt that his words were reasonable, first turned around and ordered with a serious face: "You all go out first." This official has something to say to Daochang Li alone. The people who came in with him turned and walked out of the garden to wait outside, very sensibly and with great understanding.

Seeing Liu Wenjing, who was only left with himself and Li Wenxuan in the garden, he said to Pantuo: "It's not good, Xia Shoufu suddenly fainted to the ground not long after he entered the city. ”

Li Wenxuan, who knew that this was indeed a big deal, understood that he was as anxious as an ant on the hot pot table. With other ideas, he realized that there was an opportunity in front of him, but he didn't show the intention of rushing to the shelves. When I think of these people who are officials, it is not so simple.

They said a few words casually when they came forward, then they had to give face, which really became the night pot theory that Du Yuesheng said: they treat me as a night pot, and they take it out when they want to use it. Kick me away when you're not using it, and think I'm dirty and smelly. Thinking of this, Li Wenxuan smiled and said, "Since Lord Shoufu has fainted, then Lord Liu should go to Lang Zhong for diagnosis and treatment." What's the use of you coming to me? ”

"Xia Shoufu fainted, how could he let that group of quacks in this city go to diagnose? If there is another mistake, then the official and the prefect of Qian will be in big trouble. Liu Wenjing, who had a spectrum in his heart, knew that this happened in his own jurisdiction, and there must be no more accidents, Corporal Lixian said: "Knowing that Daoist Li has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, so he came to ask for it." ”

"If you ask for this word, I'm afraid you will be able to say it. We are you helping me, I am helping you. Li Wenxuan, who did not show special humility and threw the fan in his hand on the free chair, smiled calmly: "Later, when I get some things, I will go with you." ”

Liu Wenjing, who nodded his head, breathed a sigh of relief. Li Wenxuan, who went to the alchemy room, deliberately changed into his Taoist robe, and brought his own silver needle and gourd, and returned to the garden again. The two said the word "please" to each other, and then walked out of the city together.

Liu Wenjing, who had prepared a sedan chair for Li Wenxuan in advance, watched him get into the sedan chair, and then turned around and went to his seventh-grade official sedan chair. The first few officials beat the gongs and drums to open the way, and the subsequent sedan chair drivers accelerated their speed, making the group rush and pass in a hurry.

Li Wenxuan, who was sitting in a sedan chair, felt that he was being swayed over and over again. It feels like he is swaying left and right, and he really has the feeling of running on the uneven mountain road in a car. Li Wenxuan, who was sitting in a sedan chair, was not idle in his mind. He, who is used to predicting everything, guessed that the direct cause of Xia Yan's fainting was most likely due to heat stroke. Before the diagnosis was made, this was just an estimate, not a conclusion.

In less than half a pillar of incense, Li Wenxuan was carried directly into the back hall of the prefect's yamen by them. After getting off the sedan chair, he walked into a high-end room with the prefect butler who had been waiting for a long time. Accompanying the other party was Li Wenxuan, who walked into the back room, and at this time saw a thin old man with an ordinary appearance and a beard lying on a nanmu bed. He didn't need to ask others to know that this person was the first minister, Xia Yan, who was in the first place.

Xia Yan's entourage saw that he was wearing a Taoist robe, and there was indeed some strangeness in their hearts, after all, according to common sense, they should call the doctors in the city. The leader asked in surprise, and then he understood that the person who came was a great local Taoist priest. There was no embarrassment for Li Wenxuan, his eyes were fixed on the stranger in front of him.

Li Wenxuan, who felt the tension in the room, still felt a little uncomfortable all over his body. In the spirit of the attitude of being at ease, he sat on the edge of the bed. He stretched out three fingers of his right hand and put them on the veins of Xia Yan's left hand. Tsai carefully checked Li Wenxuan, who had passed the pulse of the other party's left hand, and then checked the pulse of his right hand. waited until he had checked his pulse, and then then got up and opened Xia Yan's eyes to look at it again.

Li Wenxuan, who knew the symptoms well, took out a silver needle and stabbed the other party's acupoints and temples in a row...... In an instant, Xia Yan woke up from his coma. He still felt fever, fatigue, burning skin, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and chest tightness, lying flat on the bed, and his two black eyes were staring at Li Wenxuan, who was wearing a Taoist robe, for a long time.

Seeing that the other party had woken up, Li Wenxuan poured out the Qingxin Pill from the gourd he brought, and introduced himself at the same time: "Xia Shoufu, don't be surprised. Although he is a Taoist priest, he is also a person invited by Liu Zhixian to treat you. ”

Before the words fell, he sent the Qingxin Pill to the other party's mouth. Xia Yan, who didn't open his mouth to eat, turned pale and looked weak, and out of instinctive vigilance, asked, "What is this?" ”

"The elixir that Xiao Dao personally refined." Li Wenxuan, who was prescribing the right medicine, explained without any smile on his face: "After you take this thing, you will soon feel comfortable." In addition to Liu Zhixian's mother, there are also some adults in the house who have also taken it themselves, their wives and concubines. So, you don't have to worry about it. ”

The officials who had taken the Qingxin Pill nodded their heads with joy on their faces, repeatedly expressing the miraculous effects and benefits of this elixir. Some of them took the initiative to stand up and were willing to use their lives to guarantee Li Wenxuan. knew very well that the officialdom was dangerous, and it was expected that Li Wenxuan would not dare to poison his Xia Yan, so in order to improve his physical discomfort, he reluctantly swallowed the Qingxin pill.

Not long after Li Wenxuan removed the silver needle that had pierced the other party, Xia Yan felt that the symptoms of physical discomfort had greatly improved. All the officials present, big and small, in addition to witnessing Li Wenxuan's worthy reputation, were even more busy stepping forward to pat themselves and congratulate Xia Yan on his recovery.

"The fainting of Lord Shousuke's accidental heat stroke is easy to treat, but the perennial depression in his heart is difficult to treat." Li Wenxuan, who hurriedly finished saying this, packed up the outfits he brought, and only then did he make room for the officials to behave well.

Hearing what he said, Xia Yan's eyes rolled slightly, but there was no change in his expression. At this moment, all he could hear in his ears were the clichés, empty words and lies of the local officials.

Li Wenxuan, who had no interest in staying and listening to the officials' flattery of the officials, quietly walked out.
