The two saw the two famous doctors get out of the way with pale faces, and the exhausted Xu Rui took off his mask with one hand and walked out with a bloody wooden box in the other.

Wang Shunde looked down and saw that in the wooden box was a strip of meat like an index finger, and his eyelids jumped.

There were pustules of pus on the bright red flesh, like frost on an autumn morning, which was disgusting at first glance.

"This is the old lady's appendix, the thing that almost killed her."

Xu Rui said tiredly.

"How is my mother now?"

Wang Shunde asked urgently, and without waiting for Xu Rui to answer, he rushed into the back room.

Mr. Changpo had just finished bandaging the wound of the old lady, and brought her a bowl of decoction to improve qi and blood and feed her to drink, which was regarded as the final work, while the old lady seemed to be asleep, breathing peacefully.

Seeing that his mother was not dead, Wang Shunde first let go of half of his heart, but he never saw her wake up, which made his heart that he had just put down pinch again.

"The operation was successful, but the old lady is still under anesthesia, and it will take another half an hour to wake up."

Xu Rui leaned against the door frame and said lightly, the operation went very smoothly, even he didn't expect it, but the high-intensity mental concentration made him a little tired, and it would take some time to recover.

Hearing this, Wang Shunde's heart suddenly relaxed, and he said in surprise: "Lord Xu means that his mother's illness has been cured?" ”

Xu Rui shook his head and said: "The lesion has gone, but after all, the operation will bring a second trauma, the old lady is too old to withstand such a toss, and she has to live well during this time, especially pay attention not to let the wound become inflamed." ”

Wang Shunde was ignorant, and was about to ask clearly, but he heard Xu Rui say: "Don't worry, I have asked Mr. Changpo about the old lady's recovery, and he will send a disciple to take care of him later until he recovers, you just need to do what they tell you, and if you have anything to do again, you can come back to find the kid." ”

Wang Shunde finally put his mind at ease, remembering that his mother was almost separated from him forever, and a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe suddenly surged in his heart, and he lifted his robe and knelt down towards Xu Rui.

"Princess, what are you doing?"

Xu Rui's face changed, and he hurriedly went to help.

Wang Shunde grabbed his wrist and said, "Don't hide it from Lord Xu, our family has been a slave for most of our lives, and we have knelt down to the princess."

But since our family received the palm seal of the imperial horse supervisor, I secretly swore that no one would kneel except for the royal family, my mother and my ancestors from now on.

This time, you rejuvenated with your clever hands, saved your mother's life, and rebuilt our family, please accept Wang Shunde's worship! ”

Saying that, Wang Shunde actually wanted to kowtow to Xu Rui.

How could Xu Rui let him really knock down?

Although kowtowing seems to be a serious courtesy, no matter how heavy the ceremony is, it can't be eaten as a meal, and he took such a big risk to give his wife for the first time, how could he not knock him hard?

"The prince doesn't have to be like this, the kid is too young to bear such a big gift, and besides, the old lady has not recovered yet, and it is not too late to thank me when the illness is cured."

Xu Rui resisted Wang Shunde to the death, saying that he would not let him bow down at all, Wang Shunde was slightly stunned, and his heart was even more grateful, seeing that Xu Rui's face was red, he seemed to be ashamed and tired, and he couldn't insist anymore, so he asked Xu Rui to take him down.

The operation was successful, and the rest of the things were not something that Xu Rui, a half-doctor, could ask about, not to mention that he was reporting to the yamen on the first day today, and it was not good to be absent from work for too long for no reason.

It's not that I'm afraid that those little eunuchs will trouble him, but after all, there is Lao Zhao's shadow behind this matter, if he doesn't give him face too much, maybe that guy will come to the ring with him in a different way.

At present, a lot of silver is waiting for Xu Rui, and he is not willing to focus on intrigue with Lao Zhao.

After confessing his guilt, Xu Rui hurriedly left the mansion, Wang Shunde was concerned about his mother, and it was not good to stay long, so he hurriedly ordered someone to use his carriage to send Xu Rui back to the Beijing Patrol Office.

Xu Rui was thinking about how to solve the little ghosts in the Beijing Patrol Office, but when he left the gate of the palace, he was stopped again.

"Master Xu walks slowly, Lord Xu ......"

Wu Tong ran from behind him out of breath, Xu Rui didn't expect it to be him, and said in astonishment: "Mr. Wu is looking for a kid?" ”

Wu Tong finally ran in front of Xu Rui, and without saying a word, he suddenly clasped his fists with both hands and made a long gesture.

Xu Rui was startled, hurriedly dodged half a step, and asked, "Sir, what are you doing?" ”

Wu Tong said with a guilty face: "The old man has been practicing medicine for half his life, but he didn't expect to become a frog at the bottom of the well. ”

Xu Rui was slightly stunned, and said in his heart Although this old man is a little anxious and his speech is ugly, he can be regarded as an open person who can come here to apologize.

"Mr. Wu doesn't have to be like this, all talented people have their own insistence, and it is the same when you first hear about it as a kid."

Xu Rui smiled slightly, without any grudge, Wu Tong was even more ashamed, and said with emotion: "Lord Xu is young, not only is he a scholar, but his medical skills are even more superb, and he actually treats diseases and saves people like sewing clothes, which really opens the eyes of the old man." ”

Xu Rui was blushed by what he said, and was about to say a few polite words, but he didn't expect Wu Tong to change his words and say: "The old man saw that Mr. Changpo was learning the way of immortal medicine with adults, and he was very envious in his heart, I wonder if Lord Xu can not think that the old man is stupid and let the old man follow him?" ”

"You want to worship me as a teacher?!"

Xu Rui was taken aback.

Wu Tong's face turned red, but he still nodded.

Originally, he wanted to worship a child who was dozens of years younger than himself as a teacher, Wu Tong couldn't open his mouth, but he thought that his enthusiasm for medical Taoism was no less than that of Mr. Changpo, and even Mr. Changpo, the descendant of the medical saint, could not be ashamed to ask, what was he embarrassed about?

Xu Rui opened his mouth, and said in his heart that the free wage earners should not be in vain, which is an unexpected joy.

He suddenly laughed like a fox, and said step by step: "Well, it's not impossible, but you know that the kid's medical skills are relatively rare, and the conditions for this learning are ......."

"As long as the old man has it, Lord Xu can just speak!"

Wu Tong was overjoyed when he saw Xu Rui loosen his mouth, how could he care about the price.

Xu Rui smiled even brighter: "That's good, now the kid has to report to the yamen, if Mr. Wu has time, how about having dinner together in the evening and talking in detail?" ”

Wu Tong was overjoyed, clasped his hands into fists and bowed again: "Naturally, no matter how late it is, Wu Tong will wait for Lord Xu to come down!" ”

The two of them had a good time and dispersed, Xu Rui got into the carriage prepared by Wang Shunde, several eunuchs led the way towards the Beijing Patrol Office, and Wu Tong stood in front of the gate of the palace and sent him off from afar.

Neither of them noticed that Xue Qing, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, was standing not far away, staring at the carriage that was moving away, his eyes burning with jealousy.

I don't know if Wang Shunde deliberately arranged it, the carriage came to the Beijing Patrol Office, and did not stop outside the door, but drove directly into the inner courtyard of the Beijing Patrol Office.

Although this carriage is not luxurious, the Beijing Patrol Office is a subordinate agency of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, who doesn't know the car of their own boss?

As soon as the carriage drove into the gate, both the squint-eyed old man in the porter and the ruffian basking in the sun in the courtyard grew their mouths, and then jumped up like a burning buttocks.

Xu Rui saw Eunuch Liu hiding behind the pillars from a distance, probing his brain, looking at the carriage with a blazing light in his eyes, but when he saw that it was Xu Rui who came out of the carriage, he was suddenly like petrified and froze on the spot.

At this time, a white and chubby eunuch in his thirties walked over from the carriage, like a subordinate, helped Xu Rui off the carriage with a smile, and said flatteringly: "Lord Xu, we are here." ”

As he spoke, he quietly handed a roll of silver tickets to Xu Rui, and Xu Rui looked down and saw that there were thousands of taels.

"It's embarrassing to let the prince break the bank?"

Xu Rui's smile suddenly brightened, and he didn't hesitate to put the silver ticket into his arms.

The fat eunuch smiled: "This is just a little bit of Godfather's heart, Lord Xu doesn't have to worry about it, and there will be heavy thanks later." ”

"Thank you?"

Xu Rui looked back at the fat eunuch's gaze, and was stunned to find that everyone in the Beijing Patrol Station had lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, like a bunch of rabbits meeting tigers, so frightened that they even forgot to escape.

He was slightly stunned, and looked back at the fat eunuch, only to see him nodding at himself with a smile.

Xu Rui knew it in his heart and asked, "I don't know my father-in-law's surname?" ”

The fat eunuch smiled and said: "If you go back to your lordship, our family's surname is Wang, and your name is Dayu who is on an errand in the imperial horse prison, this time I was just ordered by my godfather to send my lord back to the yamen, and I can't have a respectful word." ”

Wang Dayu ...... You're a eunuch overseer?! ”

Hearing this name, Xu Rui was shocked, the eunuch in the twelve prisons was second only to the eunuch with the palm print, and he was the second person in the out-and-out imperial horse eunuch, half a level higher than Gonggong Cao, but he didn't expect Wang Shunde to let such a person send him.

Wang Dayu seemed to see Xu Rui's surprise, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Beijing Patrol Office is not peaceful, and our family just came to take a look, but it seems that it should be a rumor." ”

After speaking, Wang Dayu arched his hand at Xu Rui, got into the carriage and walked out of the Beijing Patrol Office, from beginning to end, no one in the Beijing Patrol Station dared to say anything.

"Is it so empathetic......"

Xu Rui looked at the carriage that was moving away, frowned, and muttered to himself in his heart.

To be honest, this Wang Shunde is quite upright, and he actually knows what he needs most, it seems that he has a deep understanding of that Hongwei Emperor, and he really underestimated him before.

Xu ...... Lord Xu? ”

Just thinking about it, Eunuch Liu came out of nowhere, and smiled at Xu Rui flatteringly, full of bruises It was really funny.

Xu Rui arched his hand towards Eunuch Liu and said, "Lord Liu, today is busy, and this official will go to deal with the official documents now." ”

With that, Xu Rui was about to walk towards the signing room.

"Hey......"

Eunuch Liu hurriedly stopped Xu Rui and slapped him in the face again, grinning in pain.

"Lord Xu, the little one is blind and disgusting to the nobles, and I ask the adults to forgive me."

Xu Rui shook his head and said: "What did Lord Liu say, since it is a rule, this official has just arrived, how can he make it difficult for you?" ”

Eunuch Liu squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, shook his head and said: "Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed, how can there be any bullshit rules, it's all small nonsense, Lord Xu, don't take it to heart." ”

Xu Rui said in disbelief: "So you don't have to deal with official documents, and you don't have to be on duty at night? ”

Eunuch Liu nodded like garlic: "There is no official document, there is no night patrol, and the slave maid has also prepared a new signing room for you, which is definitely the best of our Beijing Patrol Office." ”

Xu Rui glanced at him with a smile, and handed over the silver tickets that Wang Dayu gave him.

"This official has just arrived, and I want all my colleagues to help me a lot, and I will share the money with everyone, and this official will go to see the new signing room first."

Eunuch Liu took the silver ticket and immediately opened his eyes, he didn't expect this Lord Xu to be so generous, a few thousand taels of silver can be divided, and everyone can get it for several years.

The new signing room is spacious and bright, the window is the garden, there is only a row of pen holders and a few pieces of rice paper on the desk, and there is not a single official document that is unsightly, Xu Rui is naturally very satisfied.

At this time, there was a burst of cheers from the courtyard, and Eunuch Liu cautiously knocked on Xu Rui's door and said with a sneer: "My lord, it is the first time that the brothers have received so many rewards, and I want to thank you in person." ”

Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, and when he walked to the door, he saw that the officials and soldiers of the Beijing Patrol Office were all around, and everyone had a smirk on their faces and said flattering good words.

Xu Rui had a smile on his face, responding to everyone one by one, but his heart had been sounded by today's events.

It's not a way to hide and hide like this, today happened to have Wang Shunde to help him pass the test, I'm afraid he won't be so lucky next time, he can't let someone take care of it in a few days, right?

The Hongwei Emperor seemed to be determined to boil his eaglet into a poultry, and maybe others were hiding behind him and plotting to take advantage of him.

Things always have to be done, once you do things, it is inevitable to infringe on the interests of others, and you must have the means of self-protection so as not to hit a wall everywhere.

Xu Rui thought faintly, and a bold idea gradually took shape in his heart.

And just when Xu Rui quickly gained a foothold in the Beijing Patrol Office, in the signing room opposite, Fang Gonggong, the eunuch guarding the Beijing Patrol Station, looked at all this with a gloomy expression, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
