Chapter 439: Antidote
The women of Liu Yun's ordinary family didn't know that it was naturally reasonable, but seeing that Liu Yun also seemed to have no clue, Tong Piaoyun's big eyes rolled and said, "Isn't Brother Han Han on a good relationship with the Wudang Sect?" Can we please ask them? ”
Liu Yun and Mei Niang glanced at each other, and a glimmer of hope appeared in front of them, the martial arts sect has all kinds of strange things, so, I don't know if I can cure Han Han's backbone?
Mei Niang thought for a while, then looked at Han Han on the bed, and nodded resolutely, "I'll go back to Wudang Mountain now to see if they have a way." ”
For the sake of Han Han's injury, Liu Yun could only let Mei Niang travel like this once, wiping her red and swollen eyes, Liu Yun said in a low voice, "Be careful on the road." "I know."
Mei Niang took one last look at Han Han, and then held the 'Mo Chou' in her hand, the slender figure quickly disappeared into the room, Tong Piaoyun looked at Han Han's sleepy appearance in a daze, the guy from Wudang Mountain, you should know about the black jade intermittent cream, right?
However, this kind of ointment is rare in martial arts, and Wudang may not have it, so how can Mei Niang get it? Looking at Liu Yun, who was still crying silently with a sad face, Tong Piaoyun fell into deep thought, black jade intermittent ointment is a thing that is difficult to buy, and its medicinal materials are precious, among the eight major schools of martial arts, it is excellent to have two or three things, but the relationship between Mei Niang and the martial arts sect is not close, even if it is a disciple of the same sect, they may not be willing to give it away, let alone Mei Niang, an outsider?
Tong Piaoyun was a little embarrassed in her heart, sitting on this chair, looking lonely, for Han Han, she Tong Piaoyun had to pay everything, if they didn't give it, then they would rob it!
However, as a child now, he walks around in the sight of Liu Yun, Han Han, and Yang Yuhuan every day, and it is a difficult thing to travel far away to rob the black jade intermittent cream of other sects.
Tong Piaoyun's head hurt with sorrow, covering his little head, Tong Piaoyun sighed and lay on the table, the atmosphere in the room was a little low and quiet, occasionally, it was Liu Yun's low sobbing.
"Queen Mother! Then I said goodbye under it! In the capital, in the imperial study room of the high-walled deep courtyard, the white-faced Cao Ying, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, bowed politely, put the changed law book in his hand on the table, and then turned to leave.
The Queen Mother and Cao Ying, including six and several Shangshu, have changed most of the laws of the Cao Dynasty in the past few days, reduced taxes, and cut most of the road taxes for customs clearance, which is a good thing for the people, including the grain collection in the fields, which has also been cut down, so that the lives of the common people have been better guaranteed.
The imperial examination was changed to a triennial degree, and the salaries of various officials in the imperial court were also adjusted, as well as the Jinyi Guard, which was under construction, because its office was located in the east outside the palace, so it was named Dongchang by the Queen Mother.
The mature and noble Queen Mother frowned slightly, slowly put the book in her hand on the table, and then rubbed her eyes while saying to the palace maid guarding the door, "Make a cup of tea." "Yes."
In the past few days, the continuous office revision of the law has made the queen mother's body a little unbearable, plus last night I had a nightmare of Han Han raising troops to attack the capital, so that the queen mother has not slept well, and there is a look of exhaustion in her eyes.
Slowly got up and wanted to move around, but the Queen Mother found that her back hurt, and the pain in an instant, as if her entire back had been torn off, pursed her lips and frowned and let out a soft snort, and the Queen Mother slowly sat down again.
What happened just now? The Queen Mother was inexplicable, the sharp pain in her back before, coming inexplicably, going inexplicably, was as unreasonable as that nightmare.
"Help the mourning family heirloom to come ......" The queen mother waved her hand, a palace maid hurriedly nodded and left, the queen mother sat on the soft chair in a daze, looked sideways, facing the upper position of the main entrance, on the white snow-like wall, hung the letter that had been bought and given to Han Han with a lot of money Tang Bohu calligraphy and painting, "Divine Bird Picture".
Looking down, how many days has he been gone? Yang Yuhuan is also cheeky, and he actually left with his family, and he didn't know how to come back to visit him without conscience. The Queen Mother's fair and smooth face showed a hint of resentment, no matter how noble a woman is, she only blooms the color in her heart for a man.
Besides, Cao Ying, who was white and thin, with fine skin and tender meat, spent a whole day discussing the matter of amending the law with the Queen Mother, and did not return to the mansion of the eldest grandson Wuji, but set off to the Dongchang in the east of the palace.
Jinyiwei, the military institution exclusive to the Queen Mother, only obeys the orders of the Queen Mother, such an existence makes the name of Dongchang suddenly grow, and the reputation of those forbidden troops in the capital is even louder.
The ministers in the court also know that this represents the complete rise of the power of the Queen Mother, and the existence of Dongchang Jinyiwei has made many generals in the capital who are in a state of anxiety.
The site of the East Factory was built in an idle courtyard, so there was no need to move bricks to build a building, just recruit troops and paint the walls and add tables and chairs.
Cao Ying, who has fine skin and tender meat, straightened her back and walked to the 'Dongchang' signboard, and the two guards at the door saw Cao Ying, and they were also familiar, hugged their fists, and respectfully shouted 'Lord Cao', after all, Cao Ying is now the acting prime minister, and if the name is not right, it is not good, and if you can't call the prime minister, you can only call the adult.
With a smile on her face, Cao Ying walked into the gate, and then saw that in the high-walled deep courtyard, a group of men were busy, carrying tables and chairs, carrying boxes and boxes of torture instruments, and running into the house with a pot of teacups and porcelain, busy and happy.
"Where's the Commander?" Cao Ying saw a person next to him and asked, holding several knives in his hand, he stopped in a hurry, and then said in a daze, "The commander is in the dungeon!" ”
Cao Ying nodded, and without anyone to lead the way, she went down to the dungeon as if she was at home. At the same time as the rise of Jinyiwei, Cao Ying persuaded the Queen Mother to choose a martial champion as the commander of the Jinyiwei of the East Factory, the reason why it was not selected from the ministers of the court was because the newcomers could have the opportunity to be more loyal, and the ministers of the court were cunning and cunning, who knew what they would do in this East Factory.
The Queen Mother was also very satisfied with Cao Ying's idea, so she selected a gentle and serious guy from among the idle martial artists this year, named Ji Gang.
The dungeon of this Dongchang can be described as spacious, there are more than 30 large and small 'single rooms' and 'double rooms' in total, after all, it is not a county government that needs to detain criminals every day, and the dungeon here in Jinyiwei is only used to torture major suspects, and it is estimated that there are not many people who can survive until tomorrow.
The beds and urine buckets that should be arranged in the door of this dungeon are also available, and the commander Ji Gang is working with several subordinates against a large pile of torture instruments on the wall, Cao Ying squinted and smiled, and said in a soft voice, "Ji Gang." ”
Ji Gang turned around, this is a guy with five big and three thick, with a scumbag on his face, thick eyebrows and big eyes looking at Cao Ying and smiling, Ji Gang hurriedly bent down and saluted, "Prime Minister Cao!" ”
"Hey, I'm just acting prime minister now, this title can't be sloppy." Cao Ying smiled slightly, but this Ji Gang smiled rudely, "Where, the prime minister is not the prime minister, then who still has virtue!" Stand down! ”
A group of subordinates next to him hurriedly nodded and left, and in this spacious dungeon, only Ji Gang and Cao Ying were left.
"How's the East Factory arranged?" Cao Ying casually walked to the corner of the wall, there were nails on the wall, and on the nails, there were sharp needles, vices, hammers, leather whips, candles, etc., which were all used to torture the prisoners, but Cao Ying pouted, these things, will they be too light.
"The progress of the East Factory is still good, except for the roof and walls in several places that need to be repaired, and the small clothes have not yet arrived, and in a few days, it is estimated that the East Factory will be able to settle down." Ji Gang stood beside Cao Ying with a smile on his face and reported, Cao Ying nodded slowly, and said casually, "But you have to be responsible for this East Factory, you, the commander, are not easy to come by." ”
"Yes, thanks to the love of Prime Minister Cao Cheng and the Queen Mother, the small ones can show their strength in this East Factory." Ji Gang is a martial artist, he can't write poems and lyrics, and he doesn't know how to discuss any national affairs, and he has worked hard to win the martial champion, but he has been left cold for a long time.
"Queen Mother Ci'en, you can't forget, how many Jinyi guards are there now?" Cao Ying casually took down a sharp single knife, Ji Gang next to him thought about it, and then his face turned red, "The little one doesn't know." ”
Although Cao Ying's face was fair and thin, her eyes swept Ji Gang extremely sharply, "Don't you want to be this commander?" ”
Ji Gang broke out in a cold sweat, quickly shook his head, and then knelt in front of Cao Ying all of a sudden, "The little one knows that it's wrong, the little one ...... A small dereliction of duty, the crime deserves death, next time, you must remember Prime Minister Cao's teachings! ”
Cao Ying's face was indifferent, she raised the single knife in her hand, and then inserted it with her backhand, and the sharp blade was inserted on the stool next to Ji Gang's head.
"Ding!" The blade sank into this wooden bench, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on Ji Gang's forehead, and he could feel the cold wind of the blade against his neck just now.
"This Dongchang is much more noble than the county government anywhere, if you don't care, be careful that the Queen Mother will punish you!" I'm just kindly reminding me. Cao Ying stretched out his hand expressionlessly, grabbed Ji Gang's arm and helped him up, "After settling down, report to the Queen Mother, don't collect too many Jinyi guards for the first time, it's good to be under 10,000, remember to practice martial arts diligently every day, and those who waste martial arts can be driven out." ”
"Yes, the little one understands, Prime Minister Cao Cheng can rest assured!" Ji Gang wiped the sweat from his forehead and stared at Cao Ying in horror, Cao Ying nodded slowly, then turned around and left the East Factory.
returned to the eldest grandson Wuji's house, at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji, who had already stopped being an official in the court and had completely bid farewell to the court of the Cao Dynasty, walked up with a smile on his face, "Your father wrote again, and asked me how I was doing, for fear that I wouldn't be able to take care of you!" ”
"Uncle, where are you talking about this, I'm afraid my father thinks I'm going to cause you trouble!" With a smile, he walked into the guest hall with the eldest grandson Wuji.
"Cao Ying, I have read all the laws you have revised during this time, which not only consolidated the power of the Queen Mother, but also reduced the embarrassment of the peasant people's lives, and weakened the power of those ministers.
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled with appreciation, after Cao Ying entered the palace, Cao Ying's fame immediately spread, and everyone said that this Cao Ying was a good prime minister, how good it was, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't need to say more.
"Your father can have a son like you, this is really the result of accumulating virtue and blessings! Haha, I didn't expect that his barbarian man could have such a promising son as you! ”
"Uncle said that he laughed, no matter how good he is, he is not as good as his uncle who was in power back then, when the emperor was alive, wasn't the most trusted person to be you, uncle?" Cao Ying smiled gently, sat down with the eldest grandson Wuji, waited for the time to eat, and continued to chat, "Although I haven't seen my uncle for many years, I like to inquire about my uncle since I was a child. ”
"Well, it's all in the past." The eldest grandson Wuji sighed with a long sigh of relief, and at this time, Mrs. Changsun came up with a smile and a few dishes, "Cao Ying is back, are you working hard today?" ”
"Fortunately, thank you for your concern, after eating your uncle's food, your waist won't hurt, your legs won't be sore, and you can go up five steps in one breath......" The well-behaved and delicate expression on Cao Ying's face made Mrs. Changsun like it very much, "Look at you child, you will say something nice, come, eat vegetables!" ”
"Don't eat, I'm here, there's something important!" On Wudang Mountain, Mei Niang, who finally came hard, saw Zhang Wuji, the head of Wudang, and his two senior brothers with a cold face.
The four of them sat in this guest hall, and Mei Niang said with a solemn face, "Han Han suddenly encountered a gangster in the Yellow Crane Tower, unfortunately fell down the mountain, and broke the bones in his back, so I implore a few people to help!" ”
As soon as Mei Niang said this, the faces of the three of them immediately changed, how could a good person go to the Yellow Crane Tower once and break his back?
"How so? Is the injury serious? The second uncle touched the white beard and asked with a serious face, Mei Niang held back the sour feeling in her heart and replied, "The injury is very serious, the doctor said that the entire back is broken in many places, and Han Han can't get up and walk now." ”
The second uncle looked surprised, and then shook his head with a sad face, "The injury is so serious, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it." "Indeed, it's not easy." "Mei Niang girl, the second senior brother and the third senior brother are right!"
The three of them expressed their opinions at once, but it was as meaningless as a fart, Mei Niang frowned, held back the anger in her heart and asked, "Is there no way at all?" ”
"It's not poisoning or internal injury, otherwise, I can still help, the bone is broken, how do you let me wait, I'm not a bone doctor!" The second uncle had a sad face, and he was very sad about what happened to Han Han, well, please allow me to make a sad expression!
