Chapter 31: Almost Eating the Dead
Rong Zhi quickly put the file back in place, Xia Yunting grabbed Rong Zhi with one hand, and the two rolled on the spot, hiding in the gap between the bookshelf and the wall.
As soon as the visitor came in, there was a burst of alcohol, and the sound of scattered and vain footsteps sounded in the room, indicating that the visitor was not sober.
"Huh? Why is there no one? Keep drinking, people! β
The man was extremely thin and had a rickety back.
He looked around with the slit eyes that seemed to have been pulled out by a knife, and seemed to realize that this was not the place to drink, so he opened his mouth wide to show two rabbit teeth, and turned back to shout outside.
"Where is this? Who got Lao Tzu here? β
The catchers outside only glanced at it, and continued to patrol like no one, as if they were accustomed to this matter.
"Damn! Don't take Lao Tzu seriously? Go back and chop you all up! β
"Nobody pays attention to me! I'm going to burn this! It's all burned! β
He touched his body a few times, found a fire fold, blew a few times and did not catch fire, and took a closer look in front of his eyes, only to find that it was taken in reverse, so he turned it upside down, and finally lit the fire fold.
He squinted his eyes and pasted a set of files on the nearby bookshelf, and the tongue of fire burst into flames after only a single touch.
The dossier, which does not stick to water all year round, is extremely dry, one to two, two to three, and in an instant the entire bookshelf is on fire.
The catchers outside saw the firelight, and finally noticed that something was wrong, and two people hurriedly ran in, one left and one right, holding the rickety man.
"Master, are you drunk again? Crazy again! Let's get out of here! β
"Don't fuck me!"
Tang Yuanjiang's body shook and shook off the two catchers like lice.
"Master, tell him to come out and drink with me."
"Hmph, there is wine today and drunk today."
He pointed outside and slurred, completely oblivious to the growing fire behind him.
The two catchers knew that they couldn't beat him, so they rolled and crawled and prepared to climb out of the door to call some helpers.
As soon as the front foot stepped out of the threshold, he was pulled back
"Wherever you go, drink with me!"
Tang Yuanjiang's thin and withered figure, carrying an eight-foot-tall catch in one hand, was effortless, just like carrying two little chicks.
The two of them had no power to fight back in front of him, if they stretched out their arms to hit the head, they would be hit in the leg, and if they stretched out their legs and kicked someone, they would be punched in the head again.
The drunken Tang Yuanjiang seems to have no rules, but in fact, he is exploiting two head-catching loopholes every time, making it impossible to tell whether he is really drunk or pretending to be drunk.
Xia Yunting and Rong Zhi hid in the corner, taking in all of this, and both of them had the same thought in their hearts.
This person's martial arts are not weak.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and smoke billowed out of the room, and a wisp of fire fell on Tang Yuanjiang's back and burned on him again.
"Shhh Hurt! β
He let out a scream and let go, and the two catchers were quickly freed, and ran out in a hurry, and went out to call for someone.
This burn barely made Tang Yuanjiang sober up a little, he turned his head, looked at the fire that had reached the roof, and muttered: "It's on fire......"
He shook twice and shook his head vigorously.
It was also taking advantage of this opportunity that the two black shadows slipped out quietly.
The fire had not yet burned to the innermost part, but the smell of smoke was very strong, Rong Zhi and Xia Yunting ran all the way to the outermost, and finally couldn't help but let out a few coughs.
Rong Zhi took off her mask and quickly fanned it in front of her with her hand.
"It was so dangerous, I didn't find any evidence, and I almost burned to death inside."
Xia Yunting was thinking about another issue.
"That person seems to be a good person, why is he a master?"
Rong Zhi patted her chest and said nonchalantly:
"What's so strange about this, there will be talented people everywhere."
"No, such a capable person should go and catch fast."
"Maybe he's more talented as a master."
Xia Yunting couldn't cry or laugh, and suddenly found that Rong Zhi was quite naΓ―ve in some aspects.
The two did not leave there, but observed the situation inside from a distance.
The two catchers quickly called more people, bucket by bucket to catch water to extinguish the fire, finally suppressed the fire, a group of people were busy until the second half of the night, and they still needed to sort out the files inside to see how much damage there was.
And the master was pulled out by a few people and made a fuss, and finally fell asleep with his head tilted on the base of the wall.
This incident finally alarmed the county order, and the county order didn't have time to put on his clothes, so he hurried here, seeing this situation, one by one, but he didn't mention the matter of punishing the master, and after seeing him fall asleep at the base of the wall, he even asked the two catchers to take him back.
Rong Zhi heard what he said clearly.
"Send the master back to the room to sleep, don't let him catch a cold"
Rong Zhi: "......"
Is this a master or a father?
"There must be something wrong with this yamen."
Xia Yunting suddenly spoke.
"Are you so sure?"
"Isn't the absence of a dossier enough to illustrate the problem?"
Also.
It seems that the yamen also needs to be checked here.
"We can start with Zhang Yajing, I have promised her to treat Chu Tianze, Zhang Yajing's character, it is not difficult to rely on her to handle the case."
It seems that this matter still needs to rely on Rong Zhi.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaomo."
"It's not hard, you can help me collect medicine at home!"
When the two went back, it was almost dawn, and Rong Zhi didn't sleep at all, and after a simple breakfast, she picked up a few medicinal herbs and set off.
Liu Hong came to find Xia Yunting as usual, and the two went up the mountain together, and there was nothing abnormal.
Rong Zhi has been staying in Jishitang for the past few days, she feels that with Zhu Dahong's incident last time, Jishitang doesn't say that business is booming, at least it should be better than the original, but the result is not at all.
No one came until the afternoon, An Ping held his head with his hands, and his head was already drooling little by little, and Zhao Qiancai simply didn't show up.
Rong Zhi sighed, took out something the size of a grain of rice from her purse, crushed it and blew it at An Ping.
An Ping opened his mouth wide and sneezed, and immediately burst into tears.
"Ahh Ahh What the hell! So spicy! β
"Hey, pepper noodles." Rong Zhi smiled wickedly.
"See you're too sleepy, help you spirits."
Anping opened his mouth wide, and he wanted to sneeze several times but didn't let it out, which was quite uncomfortable.
I'm not sleepy at all now.
"Doctor Lin, why are you bothering me, no one is here in the first place, even if I take it seriously, what can I do?"
Rong Zhi leaned over and asked curiously, "Anping, did your shopkeeper rob other people's daughters-in-law before?" β
"Oh, no!"
Anping is unknown.
"Then I'm strange, your shopkeeper didn't kill people and set fires, why is this business so bad, the beggar who asks for food on the other side has ten or eight people to give money a day, we are not even as good as beggars!"
An Ping rubbed his nose with his hand, he didn't want to talk too much, but Rong Zhi's gaze was falling on him, as if he had expected him to know something.
He had to reluctantly speak.
"Our shopkeeper has never robbed someone's daughter-in-law, but he used to sell medicine and almost ate death, and then no one came to us to buy medicine."
"Almost ate the dead?"
Rong Zhi captures the point.
"What's going on?"
"It was two years ago." An Ping lowered his voice.
"Two years ago, the aunt of the Chen family in the west of the city had a cold, and the medicine from us was grabbed, but after taking it, she had a high fever and did not go away, and finally she was out of breath, or the doctor of Chu passed by to save the aunt of the Chen family, but his son has been holding on to this matter, and preaching it everywhere in the town, after a long time, no one will come to us to buy medicine, if it weren't for our shopkeeper's rich family, this place would have closed down long ago."
"What's out of business?"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Qiancai walked out from behind and glared at An Ping.
Rong Zhi said: "Shopkeeper, I'm going out to see Zhu Dahong's husband, and I'll get a pair of the medicine he often takes." β
As he spoke, he took a small piece of silver and put it on the counter.
Unexpectedly, the first opening today was Rong Zhi buying medicine.
Anping quickly packed the medicine and handed the paper bag to Rong Zhi.
"Gone."
Rong Zhi ignored Zhao Qiancai's murderous expression, and went out with the medicinal herbs.
"What are you talking nonsense to her?"
"No, nothing!"
Zhao Qiancai glanced at Anping.
When Rong Zhi came to Zhu Dahong's house, Zhu Dahong was fiddling with a pair of pigs into the water.
Her sleeves were rolled up to her elbows, revealing her thick forearms, and she was holding a small intestine in her hand, filling it back and forth, seeing that the water in the intestines was getting clearer and clearer, Zhu Dahong turned the pig into the water again, and put it in the water to scrub it, and the action was crisp and sharp.
She discovered Rong Zhi first, and her face was happy?
"Divine doctor, why are you here?"
"I'm coming to see the patient."
Rong Zhi said, raising the medicine in his hand.
Zhu Dahong was even more embarrassed, wiped his hands on the apron, and wanted to pick up the package of medicinal herbs, but in the end he didn't accept it.
"Oh, this is too much trouble for you, Madoka, hurry up and come out to greet you, the divine doctor is here!"
Madoka ran out of it, and she could see that she was much happier than last time, and she had a smile on her face.
"Madoka, how is your father?"
"Thank you, Doctor, it's much better."
Madoka nodded and smiled sweetly.
"Here, don't make a mistake this time."
Rong Zhi handed her the medicine, and Xiao Yuan took it, and two embarrassed blushes appeared on her face.
Rong Zhi was relieved to know that the patient was fine, but she still had to take a look for herself.
She was about to ask the patient if it was inconvenient to see the doctor now, and there was already a person in the back room.
The thin man is not tall, his clothes look empty on his body, his eyebrows and eyes are very peaceful, although he is not particularly handsome, but he looks comfortable.
"Divine doctor, are you here?"
He was a little shy.
Although Rong Zhi had treated him, when he saw Rong Zhi in this situation, he still looked at a loss.
Rong Zhi also understands who Madoka's personality is.
She didn't feel embarrassed.
"It looks like you're better, so I'll be relieved."
"Thanks to the divine doctor, Da Zhuang is much better now, and he has eaten more rice than before, and he ate two big bowls of rice last night."
Zhu Dahong hurriedly took over the conversation, and it could be seen that she was really happy.
"Red, what are you talking about?"
Da Zhuang was thin-skinned and glanced at Zhu Dahong with some disgust.
Rong Zhi nodded.
"This is a good sign, it's good to recover, I'll give you a pulse."
