Chapter 240: The Dead Man's Hand That Was Dug Up

It's about to enter October in a blink of an eye, the weather is cool at this time, the autumn wind is blowing, bringing the paulownia tree outside the house for a while, and the leaves of the tree that tremble and hang in the branches are not long, hit a Xuan'er, and go straight to the ground to smash down, but when it lands and has no weight, it is light and fluttering, next to the ground, and it bounces so suddenly, it is not high, but it looks so gratifying.

Qin Zhao sat on the Luohan bed under the moonlight, his legs folded together, his two hands spread out, and one on one knee.

He quietly looked at the naughty paulownia leaf, but there was no smile on his face.

Zheng Gui stood behind him, there was someone kneeling at his feet, his eyebrows were low, and he couldn't see clearly, but he was wrapped in silk and satin, he seemed to be uncomfortable, touching here for a while, pulling there for a while, twisting his body from time to time, very awkward.

He knelt on the ground and was dishonest, and moved again and again, Zheng Gui looked at it and coughed lightly, kindly reminding him.

But it was his light cough that brought Qin Zhao's thoughts back.

Qin Zhao turned sideways slightly, and the corner of his eye could sweep over the kneeling person on the ground, taking in his movements: "You used to be in the capital, and you were also a rich and blessed person, you haven't seen you for more than ten years, but you can't get used to wearing this silk satin?" ”

His voice was also flat, without a trace of temperature, originally Qin Zhao spoke like this, it should be scary, but he had the heart to restrain it, and when the man on the ground heard it, he just felt that his eye sockets were hot, his nose was sore, and the tears the size of beans fell down, and the piece of land in front of him was wet after a while.

Qin Zhao couldn't see the man shed tears, he felt that he was really unlucky, and when he saw this for a while, he first brought his brows together: "Okay, let me ask you a few words, but you didn't say a word, but you cried first?" is also a seven-foot man, who stands up to the sky when he says it, but why is this eye socket so shallow? ”

Zheng Gui knew what his master was anxious about, and he had serious things to ask right now, but he couldn't afford to delay time like this.

So he spoke softly and persuaded a few words: "Doctor Hu, don't do this, the great difficulties have passed, haven't they?" Look, aren't you looking in the capital now? What has passed has passed, and in front of His Highness, I don't dare to do this. ”

Yes, the man who knelt on the ground and never raised his head to look at Qin Zhao was Hu Zelin, who entered the Wei Mansion to take care of the fetal statue for the Sun family, and then was hunted down and killed for several years.

Hu Zelin only raised his head slightly after listening to Zheng Gui's words.

When he became famous in Beijing, he was already forty years old, running for his life all the way, fourteen years have passed, and now Hu Zelin's sideburns have already given birth to gorgeous hair, plus he has been worried and uneasy for many years, and the lines at the corners of his eyes are heavier than ordinary old men, and his complexion is even more pale and weak.

As far as Qin Zhao's eyes could see, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly waved his hand and called Zheng Gui: "Help him up, tell him to sit and reply." ”

Hu Zelin was all moved, no matter where he went over the years, he had never been treated like this.

Fourteen years ago, he was a famous doctor in Beijing, and everyone respected him for three points, but in the past fourteen years, even if he practiced medicine and asked medicine, he didn't dare to make such a big fanfare, let alone show his name outside, for fear of getting killed, and even the rising sun the next day could no longer be seen.

At that time, he wore tattered clothes, walked the streets and alleys with a broken bell, went door to door to see people's doctors, and did not dare to look at an incurable disease, for fear that the old diseases of the years would be taken care of, and that was to attract people's attention.

Now the chief manager of the Guangyang Mansion has personally come to support him, where does he dare to bear it.

Hu Zelin propped up his hands on the ground, subconsciously dodged Zheng Gui's hands, supported himself hard, and stood up slowly: "Don't dare to work with Manager Zheng......"

"Do you still recognize Zheng Gui?"

Before his words fell, Qin Zhao sighed: "Fourteen years after leaving the capital, do you still remember the old people in the past?" ”

Hu Zelin smiled bitterly, in the end, he was an elderly person, he had been kneeling for a long time and couldn't stand steadily.

Zheng Gui saw him stumbling, and his heart was raised to his throat, so he hurriedly got his hands on it and stabilized him: "Doctor Hu, it's all this age, I'll give you a pick, it's nothing, sit down and talk." ”

When he said this, Hu Zelin couldn't refuse, otherwise it would be hypocritical.

Hu Zelin sat down on the official hat chair, straightened his body slightly, and then nodded and said yes, which was regarded as a reply to Qin Zhao's previous words: "Fourteen years are like a day, and the grass people dare not forget those old people and those old things, for fear that they will not know people again and end up even more miserable." ”

He said he didn't know anyone......

Qin Zhao narrowed his eyes: "When you say that you don't know people, do you mean Wei Ye?" ”

When Wei Ye's name was mentioned, Hu Zelin shuddered suddenly.

That kind of fear came from the bottom of his heart, and it had already entered the bone marrow and was not under his control.

It almost became an instinct, and there was no need to see Wei Ye at all, just by hearing the name, it was already like a great enemy.

Seeing this scene, Qin Zhao still didn't understand.

His face turned pale, and he sighed almost inaudibly: "When did you start to know that Wei Ye was going to kill you?" ”

The corners of Hu Zelin's mouth trembled, and he tried to open his mouth, but after a long time, he couldn't make a sound.

He was in a hurry, and Qin Zhao was even more anxious than him.

Zheng Gui couldn't help but clench his fists when he looked at it: "Doctor Hu, don't worry, this is His Royal Highness's other courtyard Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, even our princess and the prince will not come here on weekdays, no one can hurt you, and no one dares to hurt you anymore." Fourteen years, a full fourteen years have passed, what have you experienced, what do you know, Your Highness asked, you said truthfully, if you have been wronged and wronged, Your Highness will make the decision for you. ”

Hu Zelin looked at him sideways: "Calling the shots?" What do you do? ”

When he spoke again, there was a choked sobs in his voice, as if he would cry bitterly the next moment.

Zheng Gui didn't dare to provoke him again, a person of his age was sentimental, and he often thought that life was not easy, not to mention that he had been wandering for 14 years, and that kind of hardship was even more empathetic to people.

Zheng Gui thought about it again and again, so he simply closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Qin Zhao also put his patience at this time: "Fourteen years is too long, this master, I may not be able to do it for you, but if you have anything to say, you might as well tell me, I worked hard and struggled to find you, and arranged for someone to secretly escort you back to Beijing along the way, and as soon as I arrived in the capital, I immediately asked someone to send you to my other courtyard, where I would provide you with delicious food and drink, and I also invited a good doctor to recuperate for you." Doctor Hu, you should always understand that I have no malicious intent, and a smart person like you should know even more clearly what I am doing everything for. ”

"Yes, the grass people understand." Hu Zelin took a deep breath, "Your Highness, you are for the Wei Sun clan fourteen years ago-" He dragged out his last note, his eyelids jumped, but he still said such words straightforwardly, "In fact, the grass people know very well in their hearts that more than ten years ago, all the old people in the capital who had some insight would also understand that His Royal Highness the King of Guangyang, who was high in his heart, could not ask for it in his heart, and it was his wife who Wei Ye. ”

Zheng Gui's face changed immediately, he just wanted to scold Hu Zelin for not knowing what to do, and he was untrustworthy, but Qin Zhao raised his hand and stopped his movements and all the words behind him.

Qin Zhao took a deep breath and paused for a long time: "At that time, rumors were spreading in the capital, and in the end, I couldn't stop everyone's mouths. ”

People who have fought on the battlefield, sometimes they don't have to see blood to kill.

Hu Zelin shuddered: "Yes, Your Highness, you failed to do it, obviously, Wei Ye also failed to do it." ”

Qin Zhaoying's eyes narrowed a little further: "The story of Wei Ye chasing and killing you for fourteen years, are you going to tell it now?" ”

Hu Zelin's heart was blocked, and that tone was not straightened out, and he would never be able to talk to the old people in the capital like normal people.

Don't say that returning to the capital, even if you just see the old people back then, in Hu Zelin's heart, it is just a scar.

He can't help but think about it - think back to how proud he was in the capital in those years, and how he was poor and destitute in the next fourteen years, and it was the Wei family that caused all this, and why not the Guangyang Palace?

Qin Zhao was already eight points sure in his heart, the Ah Luan of the Wei family was probably not Wei Ye's biological daughter, otherwise Wei Ye would have made a big move and chased and killed Hu Zelin for fourteen years.

He closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, he had already collected his mood.

Hu Zelin pursed the corners of his lips, and was silent for a long time before he nodded, and was finally willing to speak.

Zheng Gui let out a long breath, and the hanging heart fell back into his stomach at this time.

"It was half a year after Mrs. Sun's accident, and the Wei family sent Mrs. Sun's personal service people out of the house one after another, which caused a lot of commotion in the capital. But the grass people faintly felt that something was wrong in their hearts...... "He paused here for a moment, "I don't know if Your Highness still remembers, in the half year after Mrs. Sun's accident, more than a dozen pharmacies in the capital stopped doing it one after another." ”

This thing...... Qin Zhao calmed down and thought for a while: "I remember. ”

"But His Highness has never really cared." Hu Zelin laughed out loud, more like self-deprecation, "Outsiders won't take it to heart, it's just that the pharmacy is closed or not done, and they want to see a doctor, and it's not that they have nowhere to go, although those doctors are already famous, but as the saying goes, it's going to rain, and the mother wants to get married, that's a truth, where people want to make a living, and others have nothing to do with it." ”

"What do you mean......" Qin Zhao's voice was also dull, "The dozen or so pharmacies that were closed at the beginning were all related to the doctor who entered the Wei family to take care of the baby for Mrs. Sun?" ”

Hu Zelin said categorically: "It's all our own livelihood, and the reason why we don't do it is because people disappeared overnight, no one alive, no corpse was dead, and the whole family disappeared overnight, as if they had never appeared in the capital." The young man in the pharmacy can't be the master of the family, the eldest lady sitting in the hall is gone, and the pharmacy will naturally not be able to open, the young man wants to make a living, so he will find another side home, and the wages and silver will not be owed, and the counters are all put with cash, and one by one will not suffer a loss, maybe they will take more from the owner, no one will care, no one will ask, where did the people go, who cares? It's just that the family is leaving the capital. ”

Qin Zhao gasped: "But actually, they're all dead, aren't they?" ”

Hu Zelin nodded with a calm face, and saw that the corners of Qin Zhao's mouth were moving and there was clearly something to ask, so he rushed in front of him and continued: "These were later told to me by Dr. Zhuang of Baorong Hall, that is, half a year has passed - late that night, the courtyard door of my house was slammed, I thought it was a naughty boy who was messing around at night, and scolded twice, but the door still kept ringing, so noisy that my son couldn't sleep well, and he also started crying, so I got up in my clothes and went to open the door, and I saw Dr. Zhuang standing outside the door with a pale face and a panicked expression. The way he looked really scared me. We who practice medicine and ask medicine are used to seeing life and death, where is there such a fearlessness? He's ...... like that."

As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed: "Later, I learned that when he took the little apprentice into the mountain to dig medicine, he dug up a dead man's hand...... The buried ......" Hu Zelin's scalp tightened for a while, as if he was very reluctant to think about these things anymore, and only when he was finished, did he spit out a complete sentence, "Buried is Dr. Jiang in the south of the city, as well as his wife and daughter, and even his infant son has not escaped this catastrophe." ”

What Qin Zhao thought of was that Wei Ye killed people and killed people, but he never thought that Wei Ye was so mad!

Those innocent family members of the doctors, even babies who are still in swaddling clothes, Wei Ye can go down to such a poisonous hand, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and leave no one behind-

He took the case and said: "It's Wei Ye!" ”

Hu Zelin seemed much calmer because he listened to him grit his teeth, but his shaking shoulders betrayed him.

He sniffed: "That's when I realized that something was wrong, those people, maybe it's not as simple as moving their families, like Dr. Jiang, who has already died in Huangquan but no one knows?" Who's next? It's me? Or Dr. Zhuang? He threw out a series of words, and his face was already difficult to see, "The more I think about it with Dr. Zhuang, the more wrong it becomes, and before and after, we have only lived in the Wei family for ** months, taking care of Mrs. Sun's child, and other than that, there is no intersection, so we have a lot of **, and the Wei family, and Wei Ye, can not be separated."
