Chapter 113: Suspicion of Corruption
"This new Taishou in Quzhou has learned the consequences of his predecessor's concealment of his illness, and this initiative to report it is quite fast, but some of the hidden secrets, you have not studied medicine, and you may not know about it."
"I want to hear about it."
Wen Yiheng got up and poured a cup of tea for Su Jiudong, handed it to Su Jiudong, and humbly asked Su Jiudong for advice like a thirsty student.
"If the wet plague you said is really true, it can be cured with the 'Holy Sanzi'."
"What kind of elixir is the Holy Sanzi?" Wen Yiheng heard the name of Shengsanzi for the first time, and humbly asked.
"It is recorded in the "Narrative of the Holy Sanzi" that those who use the Holy Sanzi ...... If the condition is critical, drink several doses in a row, that is, sweat and breathe, eat and drink slightly, and the gods are completely recovered. ”
"That's why I said that to cure this plague, there is a ready-made prescription to cure it." Su Jiudong couldn't help but snort coldly: "However, instead of using ready-made prescriptions to treat the sick people, this new Taishou reported his illness to the superiors. ”
"I still don't understand, Quzhou's step of raising his hand to report his illness to the superior is indeed the right step, how can it be regarded as inaction?" Wen Yiheng fed Su Jiudong a big sip of tea with his backhand, worried that she would be thirsty.
"Quzhou flooded, the imperial court allocated a large amount of silver to Zhejiang and Quzhou for disaster relief, Quzhou's silver treasury should be sufficient. Is it? ”
Wen Yiheng nodded, after the flood and plague in Quzhou, Wen Yiheng dealt with the beginning and end of the back, and immediately reported the situation to the imperial court, and the imperial court immediately allocated funds to Quzhou to calm the disaster, and the amount of silver was amazing.
Su Jiudong patiently explained to Wen Yiheng: "The prescription of Shengsanzi is ready-made, but it costs a lot of silver taels to grasp the medicine according to the prescription and distribute it to the sick villages and people. Although Quzhou is densely populated, it is enough to spend two taels of silver in the silver treasury. ”
"However, the new Taishou did not use the disaster relief silver taels allocated by the imperial court in the Quzhou treasury, but chose not to take a penny, and directly reported his illness to the officials and reached out to ask for money."
Su Jiudong stated with disdain: "Therefore, I can only think at the worst, maybe the disaster relief silver has been embezzled by local officials, so the silver treasury is empty, and I can't take out the silver to take medicine and distribute the holy scatter to the sick people." ”
Su Jiudong expressed his opinion, and bluntly pointed out the possible corruption of the Quzhou magistrate, Wen Yiheng's eyes became sharp, and he seemed to be able to see the faint anger lingering around him.
The imperial court allocated funds for disaster relief, and the amount of silver was staggering, and it was difficult for anyone who faced such a large sum of silver not to be selfish... The corruption that Su Jiudong said may really exist.
"You're very good at what you've said, and you've got to the point where I overlooked...... If I hadn't known that you were studying medicine, I'm afraid I would have mistaken you for an official in the court. ”
"Fortunately, you are not my enemy, but someone close to me, otherwise I might have been defeated by you." Wen Yiheng sighed sincerely, pointed his finger at the tip of Su Jiudong's nose, and scolded Su Jiudong in disgust.
Su Jiudong's assertions about the plague and officialdom several times were novel and commendable, and his ideas were even different from ordinary ideas, which really impressed Wen Yiheng.
"Hah...... There are too many disputes between the DPRK and China, and if you don't pay attention to it, there will be no bones, and I have no intention of fighting for any Laoshzi officials, let alone fighting with you. ”
Su Jiudong naughtily stuck out his tongue at Wen Yiheng, dodging Wen Yiheng's action of scraping the tip of his nose.
Su Jiudong secretly said in her heart that even if she was really an official in the court, she would not dare to fight with Wen Yiheng, a winged tiger who was good at strategizing, just with her little cleverness.
Wen Yiheng boldly hugged Su Jiudong, who was about to leave, hugged her waist tightly, and the two of them rolled down on the kang, their eyes looking at each other unavoidably.
"How are you? ......" Su Jiudong didn't expect Wen Yiheng's sudden action, but he was not afraid of being so intimate with Wen Yiheng, and his eyes were not timid to meet Wen Yiheng's fixed gaze.
Wen Yiheng's soft and ambiguous gaze lingered on Su Jiudong's face, and then locked on Su Jiudong's warm and soft red lips.
Wen Yiheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva lightly, and said slowly: "The possible corruption in Quzhou that you mentioned just now still needs time to verify. ”
"I'll leave for Quzhou with Chu Lufeng tomorrow, and I'm afraid that you will only have to worry more about the matter of the medicinal food hall."
Wen Yiheng struggled for a long time, but he was still reluctant to touch Su Jiudong's soft cherry lips, and instead kissed Su Jiudong's white and soft cheeks, which could be regarded as a kiss.
At this time, Su Jiudong seemed to be offline, his brain was blank, and he only remembered Wen Yiheng's hot body temperature when he approached her, and the faint fragrance of bamboo leaves on his clothes, and his gentle warm touch remained on his left face, and he slowly became numb and hot.
“…… Uh, what did you just say? …… I, I didn't hear me. Su Jiudong opened his mouth unnaturally, his body seemed to be hot, and his cheeks were stained with obvious red clouds with shame. Literature Great
Wen Yiheng smiled contentedly, a pair of stars were shining brightly, and the room was suddenly full of brilliance, "I mean, when I leave, you have to take care of yourself, wait for me to come back~"
Wen Yiheng was attached to Su Jiudong, who was lying on his back, and he was reluctant to get up for a long time, and Su Jiudong did not reach out to push away Wen Yiheng, who suddenly became Meng Lang, and the atmosphere in the rest room suddenly became charming.
Outside the rest room, there was a sound of stocky footsteps running in, and Su Ting'an, who had grown as thick as a small winter melon, pulled the tall Ah Rong open the door and broke in: "Daddy, Auntie!" Grandma shouted to eat. ”
Wen Yiheng was agile and bounced up from Su Jiudong's body at the moment when Su Ting'an pushed the door, stood upright in the room, and calmly sorted out his slightly messy clothes.
Su Jiudong also barely concealed his shyness and embarrassment, hugged Su Ting'an, who was like a doll in New Year's paintings, and took the well-behaved and lovely Ah Rong to dine with Wen Yiheng.
Su Ting'an touched Su Jiudong's red and hot cheeks, and said bluntly: "A-Niang, your face is so red and hot." ”
After Su Ting'an finished speaking, he quickly took a bite on Su Jiudong's face, and continued to say childishly: "An'er will also blush when someone kisses An'er, did Daddy kiss Auntie just now?" ~”
"An'er is not allowed to talk nonsense!" Su Jiudong's face was flushed with shame, and he reached out to cover Su Ting'an's "trouble-stirring" mouth, not daring to let him speak more.
"Woo woo woo ......" Su Ting'an was still restless when he was mistaken, and he was making a fuss and continued to speak.
Wen Yiheng held Su Jiudong's hand, took away her mouth to cover Su Ting'an, and laughed: "What does An'er want to say?" ”
"Daddy just kissed Auntie." Su Tingan immediately replied loudly, attracting the attention of Liu Yunniang, Shopkeeper Liu, and a group of shop mates who were waiting for the meal in the main hall.
"An'er, don't talk nonsense!" Su Jiudong drank Su Ting'an with remorse, ignored the lively eyes of everyone in the main hall with tears and laughter, and calmly ate the meal.
A hearty dinner that should have been boisterous, eaten very quietly.
Su Jiudong ate quietly at dinner in the medicinal restaurant, but the dinner in the third room of the Su family was very bumpy.
"Mother-in-law, can you be sure that Xie Hesheng is really the fishmonger?" Su Xingwang took the trouble to ask Wang Baihe this question for the eighth time. If Xie Hesheng's identity is really determined, the "consolation money" he has in mind will be settled.
Wang Baihe glanced at Su Xingwang and said impatiently: "The last time I answer you, I can be sure that Xie Hesheng is the fishmonger who sold me fish that day." ”
"Auntie, don't you think it's strange? The person who found out that our family was poisoned was Su Jiudong, and the person who found out that the fishmonger was Xie Hesheng or Su Jiudong...... It must be Su Jiudong who is doing ghosts! ”
Su Xiaoshan saw that Su Xingwang and Wang Baihe had been led by Su Jiudong in the past few days, and in order to find out the identity of the fishmonger, she went to the market street to make a fuss, and Qiao Zhuang ran to Qishan Restaurant to investigate, and she was startled like a puppet puppet who was manipulated and led away.
"Maybe the person who poisoned our family is Su Jiudong! They are so shrewd, all this must be her deliberately setting up a trick to harm us! Su Xiaoshan took the case, and finally attracted the attention of Wang Baihe and Su Xingwang.
"Xiaoshan, you really think too much, Jiu Dong'er can't get any benefit from poisoning our family, and the reputation of their own medicinal restaurant has been ruined, and now there are no guests to patronize it."
Su Xingwang was unimpressed by Su Xiaoshan's random speculation, and even a little impatient: "If she is really as shrewd as you say, how could she lift a stone to shoot herself in the foot and let the medicinal restaurant smash the signboard?" ”
"Heh, Jiu Dong'er's news of tracking down the fishmonger is probably also to clear the suspicion of the medicinal restaurant as soon as possible and save Heng Gongzi." Wang Lily expressed her idea of a tortuous brain circuit.
"You don't see that the business of the medicinal diet hall is bad, Heng Gongzi runs to the Qin Cha Xingyuan every day, and he refuses to stay in the medicinal diet hall for long. Even if it is to save Heng Gongzi, she Su Jiudong has to do her best to help us investigate the fishmonger's affairs. ”
"Really? Now Heng Gongzi doesn't go to the medicinal restaurant? Hearing that Wen Yiheng and Su Jiudong had not had much contact recently, Su Xiaoshan was suddenly much happier.
Su Xiaoshan looked down on Su Jiudong, a cheap billet who didn't learn and didn't know how to do anything, and hooked Wen Yiheng with just one face. And he went to school early in the school, read poetry and books, and was elegant, but he was not favored by Wen Yiheng.
"Isn't it? In the past few days, I have been running outside with your father, and I have seen Heng Gongzi enter and exit in the Qincha Xingyuan more than once. On the contrary, it was a medicinal restaurant, and I never saw him go in. ”
"Xiaoshan, why don't you follow us outside for a few days? When he saw Heng Gongzi, he went up to show his face, and he was familiar. If you work hard, maybe you can follow Heng Gongzi in the future and take our whole family away! "Su Xingwang wants to get into it.
"Ah, yes! Why don't we let Xiaoshan go?! Xiaoshan, you will go to Heng Gongzi tomorrow with the news. ”
"What do you want him to say?" Su Xiaoshan didn't expect her parents to quickly turn to let her show her face in front of Wen Yiheng.
