Chapter 150: Crossing the City Gate
Zhang Jiahe didn't react at first, he was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Yes...... Yes, Shangguan said yes. β
Zhang Jiahe's pause was understood by the soldiers and officials present as him in a dilemma. They are all big officials from Kyoto, and it is understandable that none of them are easy to offend. This Li Si finally chose Deng Shangguan, who took him into the county seat, which was also an expected choice.
But there is money to bribe, why do you need to bring people into the county? The soldiers guarding the gates were annoyed by the loss of a share of their income from entering the city. Really, isn't it much cheaper to bribe us than to bribe officials from Kyoto?
And in fact, Zhang Jiahe's face under the brim of his hat became even paler, he was frightened, just now he didn't react that Li Si was calling him, is he a bad thing?
Of course, Deng Jin, Yue Feng, and Xue Qian all knew that Zhang Jiahe really didn't react, although they didn't know what the soldiers and officials of Yuzhang were thanking for, but the result was good.
The trio's acting continues.
"Snort-" Yue Feng sneered, this sneer contained endless ridicule and contempt.
"Yue Shishu is still strict with himself, and he treats others strictly, and I don't eat this set."
"A certain has always been strict with himself, and has never been strict with others, Deng Shishu is used to putting gold on his face."
Soldiers and officials at the city gate: Quarrel, keep arguing! Don't stop. This drama from Shangguan in Kyoto is not something that everyone can see.
"Deng Jun, Yue Jun, don't you know what he looks like?" Here Xue Qian does not go into details, a peacemaker must have the appearance of a peacemaker.
The core of the psychology of the peacemaker is that the two must not be offended, and the world is peaceful.
Therefore, Xue Qian's words were ambiguous and allowed to be analyzed.
So smile this emoji as an example, smile what? A smile is a sign of a friendly attitude. So how did this meme get corrupted and turned into a meme with a slight taunt? Among them, the dominant is the subjective feeling of the person.
If you feel that the other person has malicious intentions towards you, then smiling is "smiling sarcastically", and the other person is smiling and quietly looking at you and mocking you. and your own understanding of a smile. It's like an older person, when she sees a smile, she really smiles.
Ambiguity is also a science. Not everyone can be a peacemaker, otherwise Li Yu would have sat in the position of the ruler, and he was steady and unmoving.
Lv Cheng: At this point, I'm the author, and I've eaten countless lemons for this.
Xue Qian turned around and said to Yue Feng again: "Yue Jun Mo Yan lost his bearing, and showed outsiders a lively show in vain. β
"Hmph-" Yue Feng snorted, a righteous and awe-inspiring person is generally good-looking. As a righteous and awe-inspiring person, how could he let others pick up jokes for nothing?
Hearing Xue Qian's words, the soldiers and officials who pricked up their ears and listened energetically hurriedly chatted in pairs.
"Have you eaten?"
"Didn't you eat it?"
"What do you eat at night?"
"Stir-fry seasonal vegetables. What about you? β
"Your doll is almost 100 days old, right?"
"Isn't it? Time is running out, it's fast. Welcome to Liu Yan. β
Yue Feng strode ahead, and no one dared to stop him, while Xue Qian followed behind, and he was still good-natured and arched his hand with Yu Zhang's soldiers and officials.
Deng Jin was also at the end, she said impatiently: "What are you still doing in a daze, entering the city?" Still can't see a doctor? β
But even if he was impatient, Deng Jin didn't use his hands to pull the Zhang family and Li Si who played him, but separated them from a distance.
Zhang Jiahe replied with a voice the size of a mosquito again, and then planned to follow.
But near the gate of the city, he was stopped by a small official surnamed Yan.
Deng Jin saw that Zhang Jiahe didn't follow, so she turned around, she saw that Zhang Jiahe was stopped, but she was not too nervous. It seems that it doesn't matter if Zhang Jiahe is discovered.
But Deng Jin frowned and said to the Yan official who stopped Zhang Jiahe: "What? The people I brought with me will be stopped too? β
Deng Jin was a little dissatisfied, but this dissatisfaction was not because Zhang Jiahe was stopped, but because her dignity as a Beijing official was provoked.
Stern smiled and explained: "Where do the subordinates dare to stop the people of the officials." β
"Then why don't you release them quickly?"
"It's just that Shangguan will leave if you have stayed, and I still have to live in Yuzhang County. So ......"
"So what?"
"The Ming government has an order, and the subordinates have to obey it." As he spoke, Yan Yan was about to lift the straw hat on Zhangjiahe's head.
"He had syphilis. If you want to lift it, I will definitely praise you to Tan County, Yan is really loyal to his duties, he is really a model among officials, and he can be reused! Deng Jin didn't stop him. People are so strange sometimes, the more you stop me from doing something, the more I have to do something. This is the rebellious psychology of man.
As soon as he heard that this person had syphilis, Yan Yan's hand retracted quickly.
Although I don't know if it's true or not, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case.
He also wanted to do his duty, but only if he lived.
Now all the details seem to be connected, such as why it is difficult for this Li Si to enter the city, and he has to bribe an official to take him in, for example, this Deng Shangguan has always been a long distance away from Li Si.
If you have syphilis, you are generally not allowed to enter the city. Because syphilis is contagious, and people die.
Syphilis is said to be infected only when it comes into contact with the blood of a sick person, so those who get sick in the county town will not be thrown out of the county, but those who have syphilis must be carried in a room alone and cannot walk around.
If you have syphilis, the poor family will be stiff and wait until the day of death. Wealthy families are to ask for a doctor, and drink medicine to delay relief and achieve the effect of prolonging life. If there is a cure, there is no cure developed by a physician yet.
In fact, according to the rules of the former Jin Dynasty, that is, it was burned to death, and it was a hundred, but Taizu was too much...... Benevolence, saying that since syphilis is not contagious and can be treated to prolong life, then they cannot be burned to death, and those who burn syphilis patients will be punished as homicide.
If they are not allowed to be burned to death, the way they come up with is to prevent them from entering the city and let them fend for themselves. In the county, the range of syphilis patients was restricted, and gradually the localities became accustomed to this new treatment method.
If you get sick in the countryside, your life is not good. If you get sick in the county, if you have connections, you can get a doctor, and you have money to buy medicine, that is, God will not take your life.
If this Li Si had syphilis, he would not accept his fate and try his best to live, so it would be possible to bribe Deng Shangguan.
It's a coincidence, but it's not impossible.
Yan didn't want to gamble on one of ten thousand, so he ordered: "You, lift your hat yourself." β
Zhang Jiahe was about to lift his hat but was stopped.
Yan Yan looked at Zhang Jiahe without hesitation, and felt that there should be no problem. Although it is said that this syphilis can only be infected by blood, he is still afraid. He didn't want to get sick from this errand.
"Forget it, you look up."
Zhang Jiahe raised his head obediently.
"Eh...... Don't lift it, you can see it, your face is beautiful? Yan Yan glanced at Zhang Jiahe and didn't want to look at it anymore, it was too disgusting.
Yan Yan turned his head and asked Liu Yan behind him: "Do you think it's true?" β
Liu Yan's eyes were closed, as if he could get syphilis as soon as he opened his eyes, he didn't open his eyes, and replied perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, yes,"
Yan Yan was a little angry, why was this Liu Yan so perfunctory. And the key problem is that he has watched it all, Liu Yan doesn't look at him, his heart is unbalanced, and he is a little afraid.
Liu Yan's wife and brother had had syphilis, and he had seen it and knew more. What if this syphilis is more severe, and it is not just transmitted through blood? He was so panicked.
Yan Yan felt that the whole person was not good, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart at this time, Taizu was full of food and had nothing to do. Taizu, you are safe and sound in the Daming Palace. Do you know how much trouble the upper lip touches the lower lip? How much is at stake?
Yan Yan threatened with words: "What can you see with your eyes closed?" Open your eyes and take a good look. Is this person suffering from syphilis, is he a 'thief' to be caught by the Ming government? You can also enjoy this benefit, and when the time comes, you won't be able to catch the 'thief', and you won't be able to escape. β
Liu Yan reluctantly opened his eyes, and replied without looking closely: "It's true, it's true." Like my wife and brother, this Li Si is also the person the Ming Mansion is looking for. β
Liu Yan didn't want to look at Zhang Jiahe anymore. He met his wife and brother once, and he drank white porridge for a month, and had to take a bath five or six times a day.
He drank the porridge because he couldn't eat anything else.
My wife and brother had syphilis in an advanced stage, and his whole face was covered with syphilis, as if all his face had rotted. It's scary and disgusting.
As soon as he went out, he couldn't help but start retching, but he couldn't vomit anything, it was too uncomfortable.
As for why he took a shower five or six times a day, as diligent as if he had a habit of cleanliness, it was of course because he was afraid.
I heard that syphilis is contagious, and it is said that it is blood-borne, but who knows if there is any other way to spread it? He didn't want to be as inhuman as his wife and brother.
Although his wife and brother are also beneficiaries of Taizu's policy of "burning a syphilis patient is equivalent to committing homicide", he still misses the way the former Jin Dynasty treated syphilis patients.
Zhang Jiahe was certified and affirmed by Liu Yan, and Yan Yan was relieved.
"What are you doing with your head down? Are you handsome? Even if you used to be very handsome, but you have syphilis, your face is almost ruined, give me my head down. β
What Yan Yan said was really hard to hear, and it was very difficult to hear. But Zhang Jiahe still lowered his head obediently, and the speed was still very fast, as if he had received some amnesty.
Yan Yan thought in his heart, this kid is still a little self-aware, and he knows that he is ugly to others.
"Deng Shangguan, are you sure you want to take Li Si into the county seat? You don't think about it. Yan asked.
"Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, you don't think I have no morality at all, right?" The dissatisfaction on Deng Jin's face was very obvious.
"Where?" Why don't you think much about morality when you take bribes? Yan Yan sneered at Deng Jin very much in his heart, this is a corrupt official and has to set up a moral archway, it is really ......
"Shangguan Deng, you brought this Li Si in, and you have to be responsible." After Yan Yan confirmed that there was no problem with "Li Si", he had to explain two more sentences, and if something happened, he would not take the blame. First, he didn't bring this man in, and second, he tried to stop it. He's done his job.
"Got it, got it, long-winded. I'll take him to the vicinity of the post station and settle down, so that he doesn't wander around. Deng Jin waved his hand, and the patience on his face looked like he was about to run out.
"Of course it couldn't be better. Pleaseβ" This time the strict officials stopped again.
What the? Why didn't you stop Li Si? Don't let Li Si enter the city?
Yan said that he was just a small official, where could he stop the official, and he was still an official in Kyoto. Those who come from Kyoto are half a level higher.
In this way, Zhang Jiahe entered the county seat openly as a syphilis patient Li Si.
After Deng Jin and Li Si, the syphilis patient played by Zhang Jiahe, walked away, the soldiers and the officials were divided into two groups, the soldiers and the soldiers, and the officials and the officials got together and started chatting.
"Tsk, if you can let Deng Shangguan take people into the city regardless of the commotion, how rich is Li Si and how much money did he bribe?"
"I don't know, but there must be a lot."
Someone is a little greedy: "It seems to be a huge amount of money." Oh, if this Li Si comes to me, then I will be able to make a fortune soon? β
"What do you think? Ren Deng Shangguan is an official, or a Beijing official, which piece of pastry are you? β
Someone was a little sour: "The official is just different." β
"Isn't it different? If it hadn't been for my repeated failures, I would have been a petty official here. I don't meet youβ"
The composition of the officials is very complicated, just like the one above should be a person to supplement the officials, and the status of the officials is relatively high, quite overlooking the officials, and the feeling of being high.
Some officials are also ordinary people who fight for their ability.
There are also officials who are related to the family, that is, in terms of blood or far away from the blood of the main line, these officials often hug together, complain about the main side, the same surname is not the same life, and there are many resentments towards the family. While complaining that those who rely on the family officials are incompetent, they also fantasize countless times in their hearts about how one day he will be the shadow official.
It's very contradictory, it's very familyly.
On the other side, Zhang Jiahe was very excited when he entered the county seat, he wanted to go straight to the post station, but he didn't know the direction of the post station.
Deng Jin walked slowly in front, and Zhang Jiahe followed behind a little anxiously. But it was useless to be anxious, he could only follow Deng Jin.
entered the county seat, and the play ended.
Yue Feng and Xue Qian had been waiting in front early.
"You can be regarded as arriving, Yue Jun and I are waiting here very worriedly, just afraid of what happens."
Xue Qian and Yue Feng were a little worried, they were walking fast in front and no one stopped them, but they didn't want to turn back to see how Deng Jin and Zhang Jiahe were.
"Ah, there's a difficult little official who asks a little more, but don't worry, everything is fine." Deng Jin replied.
"That's good, us
