Chapter 144: Protection

In July, in Nanzhang, in the dilapidated county office, Gu Hai, who was dressed in a wrinkled official robe, kicked open the door.

In the courtyard, twenty or thirty officers and soldiers were sitting or standing, laughing and drinking, and they all looked at the sound.

These are all people who lick blood on the knife edge, and everyone has no less than dozens of lives in their hands, looking at them all together, Gu Hai suddenly felt an invisible pressure rushing over, and his pace unconsciously slowed down for a moment.

"Who's coming?" The guards stood up, grabbed their weapons and shouted.

Gu Hai snorted solemnly, his gaze swept over the group of people.

"Master!" He said, continuing his steps, only towards the main hall.

"The county lord is here. Get out of the way." A middle-aged man who looked like a general walked out of the hall smiled, waved back the guards who were blocking the way, and bowed his hand to Gu Hai.

Gu Hai ignored him, walked past him, and stepped into the lobby.

The lobby was a little dark, and there were more than a dozen people of various positions and sizes, who were gathered in front of a line of military figures, as if discussing things.

"Stand down." A slightly hoarse voice came from the midriff.

The people retreated like water, and only Gu Hai and the man sitting on the high table of the county lord's trial looked at the soldier hanging from the mirror.

"Are you going to stay with me forever?" Gu Hai endured his anger and asked in a deep voice.

The man didn't look back, shaking his slender legs slightly, looking at the marching chart.

"Is the county lord willing to deign to see me?" There was a hint of a smile in his voice.

"If you are willing to go, I can condescend to you." Gu Hai said in a deep voice, "I, Nanzhang, am deeply troubled by the war, the people are poor and poor, I really can't afford to support all the military masters, the military masters are spent here, it is better to work hard and take a few more steps, and go to Tangzhou to fight with the golden dog."

Shen Anlin smiled, turned his head, and jumped off the high table with his hands.

"It's just that I ate some rice noodles from you, the county lord is really stingy." He said.

"Rice noodles also have to be eaten by people" Gu Hai snorted lightly and said, "Don't talk about rice noodles, if you can kill the golden dog, the people will be willing to cut their flesh and bleed."

That's really not an kind of thing.

"It seems that the board of the prison of the Criminal Department has not beaten you enough." Shen Anlin said with a smile, walked down a few steps, and looked at Gu Hai.

Compared with last year's side in Jiankang, this young man has become much calmer, because of hard work, it is difficult to hide the fatigue on his face.

It's not easy to be the parent official of Nanzhang County.

Shen Anlin's gaze couldn't help but soften a little, "How is it?" Can you still survive it? ”

In the face of his aggressive questioning, the atmosphere between them should be tense, but he didn't expect Shen Anlin to suddenly change the topic, and his tone and attitude were like family-like care.

And thinking of the reason for such an attitude, Gu Hai's suppressed anger burst into flames, which was also the reason why he had not met Shen Anlin in the past half a month.

As long as he thought that this person made his sister desperate to death, he couldn't help but want to beat him, spit on him, and stomp on him hard, or never appear again in this life and this life, but this one appeared in front of him again, and he always regarded himself as his brother-in-law in his speech and demeanor.

Don't dream

Gu Hai laughed three times to vent his anger.

"If you tiger and wolf soldiers don't leave, I really can't say if you can survive it," he said with a smile.

Shen Anlin looked at him, nodded, looked down at his feet and walked a few steps.

"Gu Hai," he raised his head, "The son doesn't say anything about his father, I know what my father has done makes you feel cold, but I said it, I recognize this family business, and when I go back this time, I will welcome my family."

Gu Hai sneered, raised his head slightly and looked at him, "You are dreaming." ”

Shen Anlin was slightly stunned, and looked at him with flickering eyes.

"You dream that my sister will marry no one to marry you, you are dead." Gu Hai said with a hint of ridicule.

"The scholar who married the letter family?" Shen An said suddenly.

Gu Hai was stunned, he didn't know about this matter, for Gu Bainiang, there was no need to talk about it in the letter, and the Cao family was naturally even more embarrassed to talk about it, but he didn't want to get confirmation from Shen Anlin's mouth, but he didn't know about it.

"No matter who you marry, it's fine, except for you." He said casually, his mind had quickly analyzed this limited information, Xinjia, Xinchaoyang, scholar, he once knew a scholar of Xinchaoyang's family, Xin Chunfang

"Being humble and courteous, knowing benevolence and righteousness, and protecting one's family and relatives are indeed a good match." His tone was a little heavier, and he said, "It's better than you ingratitude。。。。。 ”

Thinking that after all, Shen Anlin had not done such an ungrateful act at this time, so the accusation was unreasonable, so he stopped.

Shen Anlin heard it and was silent for a moment.

"I didn't help with your business this time, I was incompetent." He whispered.

Gu Hai was stunned, he didn't expect him to think of this, and he simply admitted that he was incompetent.

"Why should I use your help," he said, snorting, turning his head.

"I can't protect you, it's because I'm incompetent and can't reach the will of heaven, but I can protect and protect Eighteen Niang," Shen Anlin continued, "A small merchant took the opportunity to make a profit, and wanted to use kindness to blackmail the marriage......

When he said this, he looked at Gu Hai with a hint of certainty on his face.

"Eighteen Niang will definitely refuse, and the profiteer villain will definitely be entangled, and it is within my power to protect each other, and it is also incumbent on me to protect each other," he said in a deep voice, a hint .....of a smile appeared on his lips.

With such a status like him, the Yin Rong family has not entered the school and has no meritorious achievements, and naturally has no position to speak in the eyes of the important ministers of the court, but for a merchant, it is like a mountain that can crush people, and he has to be in awe, this is the privilege of hierarchy.

Gu Hai looked at him and suddenly felt all kinds of feelings in his heart.

Although he has not had direct contact with him in the past half a month, what he has heard and seen, it can also be seen that this Shen Anlin is decisive and cold, and he is by no means a pompous and mediocre person.

But this resolute and cold action also corresponded to his sister, and the feeling of being appreciated by others is completely different from being the recipient of it.

No matter what Gu Bainiang did in that life, as an elder brother, he believed that his sister would not be guilty of Shen Anlin treating him like this.

He really wanted to ask him why he treated Eighteen Niang like this, abandoned her orphan girl out of the house, and forced her to die, but he was speechless when he opened his mouth, and he couldn't ask such absurd things.

"My lord, let's set off as soon as possible, whether it is to catch bandits, chase and escape, or kill the enemy, the people of Nanzhang County can't withstand the war." Gu Hai said in a low voice, turned around, and after listening for a moment, he turned back and said, "As for my sister's matter, Lord Shen still doesn't want to mention it again, now it's not that we complain about your untrustworthiness and unrighteousness, but that we don't recognize this family matter." ”

He accentuated his tone on the last sentence, glanced at Shen Anlin, and walked away.

Shen Anlin looked at his departing back, thoughtful, and silent.

Chaotic footsteps come from outside.

"My lord, Lord Zhao has an order, and he ordered to encircle and suppress the five tiger thieves to Suxi and Zuo Sibu" The herald knelt down on one knee, held the order arrow, and said loudly.

"So, the dog thief left the Nanzhang realm?" Shen Anlin said in a low voice, looking back at the marching map, and made a line on it with his finger, "Order, leave the city immediately." ”

Watching the army of dozens of people ride away, Gu Hai at the city gate breathed a sigh of relief, but his mood was not so relaxed.

"My lord, those five tiger thieves are fierce and cunning, there are a large number of them, and they are helped by the Tangzhou Golden Dog, Lord Shen is just such a few people, okay?" The officials next to them asked worriedly.

"The enemy is strong and I am weak, and there is a basis for advancing and retreating, and they who are marching can still not know, you are worrying about it." Gu Hai said in a deep voice, "Keep your mouth shut for me, disturb the people's hearts less, and divert more water to irrigate the fields is your business."

The little officials responded with a smile, although the county lord who was much younger than himself was not very respectful, but he treated each other sincerely, a young boy, I didn't expect to be down-to-earth and willing to work, not just talking about the war and boasting about the political achievements, for Nanzhang County, which has experienced the baptism of war, is really a blessing.

"Vigilance has been strengthened recently." Gu Hai said, his eyes once again cast into the distance, and Shen Anlin's men and horses had turned into black spots on the horizon.

At the end of July, Peng Yizhen's pharmacy had been open for half a month, but business was not satisfactory.

"The tongue is weak, the pulse is thin and weak, and the kidney yang needs to be warmed and replenished...."Peng finished diagnosing the pulse with a needle, and raised his hand to write a prescription.

The chubby rich old man sitting across from him seemed impatient.

"Doctor, doctor, open more right return pills, come, come three hundred...."He said with a smile in his eyes.

Again, Peng almost dropped the pen on the old man's face.

"Three hundred, eat as food!" He muttered, suppressed his temper, and said, "It doesn't take that much, ten is enough, and I'll come back when I'm done。。。。。 ”

The old man's face was a little disappointed, his eyes swept around the medicine cabinet, and he was very reluctant to let the waiting servant take the medicine.

"This is not Liu Gong's medicine," the old man took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said suddenly.

"The small shop has a thin profit, and I can't afford to enter Liu Gong Pharmaceutical." Peng gritted his thick teeth and said.

"Doctor, you can make a ..... offer," the old man smiled.

"No is no, I want to go to another pharmacy to buy it......" Peng Yizhi was silent, "Are you going to see a doctor or grab medicine?"

The old man obviously hadn't suffered such anger, snorted, and glanced at Peng, "Without Liu Gong's medicine, who wants you to come to see the disease"

Saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

"This dead old man" Peng scolded, stomping his foot behind him.

This time, the old man's entourage quit and came back with his sleeves rolled.

"Hillbilly, who are you scolding?"

"Who doesn't know that Gu's Shunhetang was opened by Liu Gong's disciples, you actually said that there is no medicine from Liu Gong here, old boy, you are deceitful, right? No mistakes, not a lot of words"

"Yes, this old boy, send him to the government"

Peng Yi's bad temper is invincible in the countryside, and for the first time he met Diao Ren, who was more upright than himself, seeing how powerful the other party was and sharp-toothed, the anger in his heart suddenly rose to the top of his head.

"Come on, come and kidnap me, I didn't diagnose the wrong disease, and second, I didn't prescribe the wrong medicine, kidnap me to the government? Tie it" He also rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thick arms, "Grandson, it's grandson who doesn't dare to tie it"

Today's doctors, either gentle and elegant, or have a quirky temper, but it seems that such rudeness is really rare, and for a while, the two groups of people made a fuss in the lobby of Shunhetang, which had just opened.

Peng Yizhen's wife and Lingbao in the backyard all ran out, and after persuading, Lingbao was accidentally pushed down, tripped on the threshold and fell out.

"," Four or five officials came out of nowhere, shaking the chains and swords, and quickly separated the two chaotic parties.

When the "Sixth Master" saw the visitor, he immediately put on a smiling face, and stepped forward, "I'm going to invite your old man"

The official at the head squinted at him, and the little servant hurriedly pointed in the direction of the old man who had already gotten into the carriage outside the door.

"Our grandfather ......," the little guy said.

"Oh, it's Old Lady Jia....." The official nodded, as if he recognized him, "What?" Is the old lady all right?"

Looking at this polite attitude, it can be seen that the daily relationship is not in vain, the wine money for the New Year's holidays is not given in vain, and the waists of the little guys are straighter.

Bumpkin!

"This is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is you who are rampant!" The little guys shouted at Peng Yipin in unison, and before he finished speaking, Peng Yipin threw a shoe and smashed it on the top of his head, causing a strange scream.

"Sixth master, look at this murderer, where does he look like a doctor, he must be cheating money and blackmailing people under the pretense of practicing medicine!" The boys shouted, "Take this man down!"

"Grandson! I don't know Taishan with eyes! Grandpa has a good skill, let you be humiliated! Tell you that in the future, you will beg your grandfather to see a doctor, but you can't get it, grandpa will not sit in the hall in the future, you want to invite grandpa, you have to drive high-headed horses and not go......" Peng Yizhen shouted barefoot, blushing.

"Shut up!" The officials were dizzy with the noise, and they shook their chains to stop them.

"Go, go, take it with me!" The chief official waved his hand impatiently and shouted.

The servants gloated and laughed, but they saw the servants rushing up and twisting them up.

"Hey, sixth master, sixth master, wrong, wrong!" The little guys shouted suddenly.

But he was poked twice by the officials with the hilt of their knives.

"Shout!"

"Wrong, wrong!"

"Miss the time of the sixth master!"

"You're the one who caught you!"

The straight guys hugged their heads and begged for mercy.

"Sixth master, sixth master, this, misunderstanding, misunderstanding......" The little guy who spoke first cried and pleaded with a sad face to the sixth master of the official who was holding his hands on the side.

"Misunderstanding!" The sixth master pulled his face, "People open a pharmacy, please come or tie you up?" Did you diagnose the wrong pulse or prescribe the wrong medicine? Kill people or extort a price? ”

The little guys were stunned, but Peng Yizhen and the others were surprised.

"Also," the sixth master looked softened, pointing to Lingbao who was standing in a corner with his arm rubbed.

He seemed to want to smile, but this smile appeared on his face and looked even more terrifying, and Lingbao couldn't help but shrink back.

"It's shameless and obscene that you all dare to fight the delicate little girl" The sixth master shouted righteously, and walked a few steps towards Lingbao with a little respect, "Miss, are you okay?" Is the fall heavy? Let the doctor take a look......"

"Sixth master, our old lady ......" The little man was about to cry, turned his head and pointed to the street, but saw that the old lady's carriage had already disappeared.

Everyone was dumbfounded, yes, this time it hit the iron plate.

This backstage is really hard, it seems that not only the pharmaceutical industry is a little respectful, but even the officials give face, and the little guys have finally woken up.

After insisting on getting Lingbao's answer that he was fine, the sixth master drove a group of small people away lively, not forgetting to reprimand the onlookers loudly.

"See! This is the end of unreasonable trouble!" With this voice, the crowd went away lively.

Peng Yizhen's face was full of red light with excitement, and look, this is the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the most reasonable and fair place in the world.

"Master, your temper has to change!" Peng said worriedly and dissatisfied.

"Am I wrong to change it?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Peng Yizhen glared and said, "I am a doctor, treating diseases and saving people, and I am not killing people and overselling goods, and they don't know the true Buddha because they have to be quiet."

Speaking of this, I was a little depressed, and looked up at the door plaque, which was an old plaque taken from the Shunhe Hall of Jiankang Mansion.

Perhaps, the true Buddha must leave the famous temple in order to be known by the world.

Peng pulled Lingbao to talk and helped her rub her bruised arm.

"But it's really strange, the poor master here is really good....... she said, "It's the first time I've seen such a considerate poor master, and sure enough, it's at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the world is clear." ”

Lingbao nodded, with a look of expectation, "The people here are so good, then my brother will definitely not suffer a lot here." ”

On the street, under the eaves of a house not far away, a thin man with half of his face covered by a wide hat reached out slightly and lifted the brim of his hat, revealing a familiar face.

If Lingbao looked at it at this time, he would definitely pounce in surprise.

Ling Yuan didn't come over, he just watched quietly for a while, put down his hat, turned around and disappeared into the bustling crowd.

On the other side of the street, there are many restaurants and restaurants, one of which has a quiet façade, and a horse-drawn carriage is slowly stopping.

Gu Bainiang just stepped out of the carriage, and a young man in brocade came from the other side.

"Gu Ba Niang," he shouted unceremoniously.

Gu Bainiang stopped, looked back at him, a trace of doubt flashed on her face, obviously she didn't recognize anyone.

"I'm here to tell you that we're not going to the banquet," the young man said excitedly, with a look of indignation between his eyebrows.

Gu Bainiang heard this.

"I didn't invite you." She laughed, unfazed by the young man's obvious hostility.

"My grandfather won't come," the young man snorted, "and you want to invite me?" Unless you kneel down and prostrate to me."

"Aren't you here, Young Master Wang." Gu Bainiang pursed her lips and smiled.

The young man didn't seem to expect her to have this attitude, and her face turned red for a while, as the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person, not to mention that there is still a young lady who is a few years younger than herself, and she can't say a word of reprimanding and insulting words that were originally prepared.

“..... My grandfather repaid his grievances with virtue, you feel guilty! You.... Do you know what's wrong?" The young man blushed and shouted.

Gu Banniang laughed.

"Young Master of the Wang family, I know it, I really don't know that I am wrong...... she smiled, "Go back quickly, meet your grandfather, be careful to be disciplined....."

Ignore him and step in.

"Shameless! Shameless!" Listen to the young man shouting as he stamped his feet behind him.

The smile on Gu Banniang's face never dissipated, and two small dimples appeared on her cheeks, adding a bit of richness.

"It turns out that Gu Niangzi loves to listen to people scolding ......".

A voice suddenly came from his side, with a bit of banter and almost imperceptible sourness.

Gu Bainiang raised her head, smiled even more, and looked at the letter from the vines walking through the corridor.

"Is the eldest young master also here to ask about the crime?" She laughed.
