Chapter 130: Shut Up If You Can't Speak
In the governor's mansion, several principals of the state sat together.
Don't care if there was a gap between them before, this time is a critical period of both prosperity and loss, and no matter how much intrigue there is, you have to ensure the safety of several nobles and nobles first.
"When the county lord comes here, his subordinates can still figure it out, how can the people from the Northern Wangfu get involved?"
The two kings who guard the border pass in the south and the north have never seen the king, and this is the first time they have gathered together outside the capital, and no one knows whether this is good or bad.
"The old man has already repaired the book early in the morning and went to consult the king of the north. It took seven or eight days to receive the letter. During this period, I would like to ask all my colleagues to take more care and try to separate them as much as possible. ”
No matter how much they fight with each other, they can still figure it out in big matters.
"I heard that the little grandfather of Zhennan is happy, and it happens that his nephew is returning home from a vacation at Wantao Academy, why don't you let your nephew try to stumble over the little grandfather in the name of asking for advice?"
"Yes. Since this is the case, let the official's wife accompany the county lord. ”
Several people assigned tasks on the spot, and others were responsible for supporting and cooperating at any time.
After the people dispersed, Xuezheng stayed and had a private chat with Lord Gui of Zhizhou.
"My lord, do you remember Lord Yi's deceased wife?"
Lord Gui stroked his long bearded hand, his eyelids twitched, and he looked at his colleague and subordinate who had a good personal relationship.
"Why did you suddenly mention this?"
"My lord, when my subordinates went to Beijing to take the exam, I happened to see the lady who died early, and at that time, there was a two-year-old girl by her side."
Xuezheng took a deep breath and spit out the words that had been in his heart for a long time.
"The subordinates have felt more and more in the past few days that Miss Wei San and that lady are ...... It's too small. ”
Lord Gui's eyes shrank, and he was a little surprised: "Isn't that lady terminally ill when she was still in her hometown, how can you see her in the capital?" ”
"My lord, do you believe this?" Xuezheng didn't say much, and looked straight back, "Over the years, my subordinates have not been able to forget a piece of fruit handed to my subordinates by the little girl next to the lady back then. ”
Lord Gui rubbed the corners of his forehead: "I understand, don't worry, no matter how this matter involves the little grandfather, Miss Wei San's life must be worry-free, I am afraid that the county lord will be desperate." ”
In the post house, the two people from the north got together to eat, and talked about Yi Jiaoxue by the way.
"Why did that crazy woman get here? Her madman isn't afraid that someone will kill her? ”
"You can keep it." The man glared at her, "Anyway, you have to call her aunt, you have to call her cousin." ”
"Phew. She deserves it too? The girl snorted, "I don't understand how Your Majesty's brother can tolerate her in the capital." ”
"Who made her have a good father?"
"That's too, being able to kill both the original partner and the eldest daughter to make room for the eldest princess is also a ruthless person."
"Be careful." The man glared at her angrily, "Sooner or later, your mouth will invite trouble." ”
"What's the matter? Can he do it and let others say it? Over the years, he has done good deeds on the surface, but he doesn't know how many disgusting things he has done in private, so he is not afraid that he will go to hell after death, and the Lord of Hades will not be able to spare him? ”
The man has nothing to do about his sister, so he can only protect her carefully, who makes him have more than a dozen brothers in the North Palace, just two squeamish sisters.
"The old child's body can't drag on, we came here to ask for a doctor this time, don't worry about it."
"Brother, I don't understand. The old and the young are like this, why doesn't her father allow her to come to the south to recuperate? Every day I see her so uncomfortable and try to smile and comfort us, I feel so distressed. ”
The girl's eyes were red, and she pouted and complained.
"Father has father's consideration." The man didn't really understand what his father was thinking, but his father's love for the old and the young was not false at all, and there must be a reason for his decision.
On the other end, Yi Jiaoxue looked at the young man who was not sitting, and the disgust in her eyes was overflowing.
"You said that the two children of the North King are also here? Who is it? ”
"It's definitely not your brother, I haven't seen a man, and the woman looks at her age, she should be the eldest daughter of the first princess, the lord of Rou."
Yi Jiaoxue's face became a little ugly. She's always been arrogant, but she's not completely brainless. Because of her mother, she boasted of being the county lord, but in terms of background, the county lord was more noble than her, and if she was really right, her father would definitely punish her.
"Why did they get here all of a sudden? Who told them? ”
"Still need to report?" The young man's eyelids twitched, and a sneer flashed in his half-closed eyes, "You are out of the capital with your front foot, and you are afraid that you will know everything you should know with your back foot." It was farther from the capital than from the Northland, and since the two of them obviously came on horseback, the journey was shorter than yours, so it would be nice not to arrive before you. ”
Yi Jiaoxue was so angry that she wanted to hit him with something, but she held it in her hand, thinking of her father's cold eyes, her heart was empty and she let it go.
"If you go, it's annoying to see you."
The young man didn't want to stay here either, so he simply waved his sleeves and left.
Wei Jin changed into a Northland-style coat, with lambskin boots on his feet, and next to Sima Ji, who was in a wheelchair and also wearing a similar style coat.
The cart was carried by the guards of the Zhennan Mansion, plus the attendants and servants who accompanied them, and a group of seven or eight people wandered around the street at will.
"This is good, hairy, it must look good to wear it to Sihuaer, this powder. Tender. The tender one is suitable for the third sister, how about this for the fifth sister? ”
Wei Jin took a hair ornament made of rabbit fur and gestured to her head, and under the snow-white fur ball was a simple silver cushion flower, with a lively tone, which was very suitable for young girls to wear daily.
However, the craftsmanship of the small shop is very ordinary, and the silver used is not particularly pure, Sima Ji had the heart to say that he might want to make a box, but Wei Jin didn't discuss it with him at all, and bought it with a wave of his hand.
"These are too cheap!"
Wei Jin looked at Sima Ji's slightly wrinkled face and smiled: "You, you don't understand the fun of shopping." Some things don't have to be expensive. If you want to go out to a banquet or attend a more formal occasion, these must not be worn. But when you are at home, or when your sister or sister is out shopping, these are very suitable. ”
Okay, he doesn't understand the girls' doorways, but since Wei Jin said that it must be good, Sima Ji firmly believes this.
Around the corner is a pharmacy, where the old doctor who prescribes prescriptions for Sima Ji occasionally sits here.
As soon as she turned around, Wei Jin was talking to Sima Ji in a row, and Leng Buding was bumped into by a person who rushed out of the door, if Sima Ji hadn't helped her, it was estimated that she would have to fall on her stomach at this time.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't notice there was anyone outside." The girl who rushed out was very anxious, "I'm in a hurry now, if you have any losses, you can go to the Chengdong Post House to find me." ”
As soon as she had finished speaking, the young girl ran away.
"She's the girl from the Northern Palace." When the person was out of sight, Su Wu whispered the identity of the person.
"Why are you so panicked, something is wrong?" While Sima Ji was chattering, he looked up at Su Wu.
The latter nodded, saying that he had already let people follow.
"Brother, what's going on? Wasn't all good before? ”
The young man had already packed up his things, threw a burden to his sister, and said as he walked: "Just now a message came to say that the old and young suddenly deteriorated, and the eldest brother told us to go back quickly." ”
The girl hugged the burden and bit her lip: "Brother, why don't we tie that doctor back?" ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The young man slapped her on the head, "Not to mention that the one is protected by Lord Zhizhou, just say that he still has to take care of the little grandfather's condition now, do you think it is appropriate for you to kidnap people?" ”
"What then?" The girl wiped her eyes, "You can't just watch the old and the young ......"
"The doctors in our house are not white wax, they can save the old and the young once or twice, and they can save them three or four times. Let's go, don't delay. ”
The two had just gone out, and before they could get on the horse, they saw two groups of people coming to the door.
One group is wearing the clothes of the local government officials, and the other is dressed in light armor.
"Fourth son, Lord Rou, my little grandfather heard that the little lord was not in good health, so he sent some medicinal materials to the humble position, and I don't know if the little lord can use it, just on behalf of my little grandfather's heart."
"It's the same as the humble position, and I sent medicinal materials on the orders of Lord Gui."
The young man sighed and thanked him: "Thank you for the kindness of the two adults, but the journey is far away, and my brother and sister have to travel day and night, and it is really inconvenient to travel with medicine, so I understand it." ”
Is there still a shortage of medicinal materials in his Northern Palace?
"The fourth prince doesn't need to worry. The little grandfather had already thought of this, so he ordered the humble position to send the fourth prince back to the Beiwang Mansion, and in addition, this bottle of medicine was originally found by Miss Wei San to renew the life of the little grandfather, and there were only these two pills left in the whole world. ”
A small jade bottle was taken out of the guard's bosom and placed in front of the young man with both hands.
He hesitated for a moment, then grabbed it and stuffed it into his arms: "Thank you Miss Wei San for this son." Regardless of whether it is used or not, this favor should be returned. ”
The guard didn't say much, raised his hand, and gave way to his subordinates.
"Yo, what's the matter, you're just leaving? What's the matter, someone in the family is not working? Specially running here to collect medicine? If you said it earlier, I will ask A-Niang to send you a cart of medicine from the capital. ”
Not far away, Yi Jiaoxue sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and smiled gloatingly, and the words in her mouth made people listen to it loudly.
"Don't worry, no one in my family will die if you die. However, if you say this, I will also personally repair a letter and present it to Your Majesty's brother, the county lord cursed my family for an accident, and I want to know how Lord Shoufu and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess taught the county lord. ”
The lord of Rou County accosted him and directly blocked back. Yi Jiaoxue's face changed in anger and she lowered the curtain.
"Let's go, don't bother with her." The fourth prince glanced at his sister and led the people out of the city on horseback.
As soon as they left, Yi Jiaoxue lifted the curtain again, and looked at the guards of the Zhennan Mansion with great viciousness.
"If you don't present the good medicine to Your Majesty, do you take Your Majesty seriously?"
"That medicine is for people who are seriously ill. Why, the county lord just cursed the people of the Northern Palace, and he came to curse His Majesty again? ”
Sima Ji's voice sounded, Yi Jiaoxue turned his head to look, he didn't know when he was already at the mouth of the alley. Standing behind him was Su Wu, as well as officials at all levels in the state. Everyone looked at her with anger and forbearance.
Yi Jiaoxue is just to be quick for a while, and if she really lets her face these officialdom adults, she is also empty in her heart. Don't look at her as a tyrant in the capital, that is, she bullied the children of the official family, and she didn't directly face those old foxes, and it was impossible for others to surrender their identities and worry about her. But after coming out, the emperor was far away, and she couldn't bear anyone who used a trick.
Sima Ji will not chase after him, anyway, just let the officials see Yi Jiaoxue's viciousness, and the preconceived impression is the most difficult to reverse.
They didn't go to see Yi Jiaoxue again, but discussed how to send the medicinal herbs to the Beiwang Mansion.
Of course, they knew that the North King would not send the medicinal materials, but it was the North King's business whether it was bad or not, and whether they gave it or not was a matter of whether they understood the etiquette or not.
In the end, it was decided that the guards of the Zhennan Mansion and the officials of the state government would form a team at the same time and send the medicinal materials directly.
"My body is pretty much there. I see that the fourth prince and the lord of Rou originally came for the old doctor, if it is possible, Lord Gui might as well discuss it with the old doctor to see if he can invite the old man to take a trip. ”
Even if Sima Ji didn't say it, Lord Gui also planned to do so.
When the other adults were sent away, Lord Gui accompanied Sima Ji to chat, and inevitably mentioned the two pills.
"Actually, it's not a miracle medicine." Sima Ji sighed, "I was killed by gangsters back then, and my life hung by a thread, but fortunately, Miss Wei San saved me." Those three pills were also extremely lucky to get, and they were not the kind of people who were said to be able to take one to eliminate all diseases, but they could make people appear in a state of suspended animation, temporarily prolonging their lives. If there is no follow-up treatment, it is also ......"
Sima Ji shook his head and sighed: "I'm also really lucky, I met the third lady, and then met the Taoist." It just so happened that the Taoist chief would cure the poison on my body, and that medicine bought me time to heal me so that I could survive. Sent to the king of the north today, it is also hoped that the little county lord can be auspicious. ”
Lord Gui breathed a sigh of relief. That's right, if it's really a miracle medicine, as the county lord said, it's a sin not to give it to His Majesty. But it doesn't matter if it's just used to hang people's lives, the imperial doctor in the palace, who doesn't have one or two secret recipes in their hands to hang people's lives?
"Oh yes, I have already sent the prescription of this medicine to His Majesty. The medicine inside is very precious, but in terms of the reserves in the palace treasury, it should not be difficult to match. ”
With a smile on his face, Lord Gui glanced at the little grandfather, and both parties were very satisfied.
Yi Jiaoxue returned to the room and began to smash things again, and the people who served her knelt against the wall tremblingly, wishing to blend themselves into the wall.
The young man heard it outside and turned his head to ask what was wrong. The subordinate who followed Yi Jiaoxue out told him about today's events, the man sneered, the ridicule in his eyes was even worse, and he left without looking back.
The news of what was happening here soon spread to the capital.
Lord Shoufu has eyes and ears, and His Majesty naturally has secret agents. The details of the two records were placed in front of each of them.
The young Son of Heaven stroked his palms and laughed, he was so happy to see Yi Jiaoxue eating deflated, and even had an impulse to reward Sima Ji and the two cousins of the Beiwangfu, but fortunately the queen stopped him.
Shousuke took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, and made a few arrangements.
