There were two soft sounds, one from the mouth of the person who came, and the other from the mouth of Fang Tai.

"Brother Cai, you're back!"

Hu Wenxiu called out to someone crisply, and then got up to greet him.

Although the man named Ah Cai was stunned for a moment when he saw Fang Tai, he quickly sorted out his expression and was pulled to the table by Hu Wenxiu.

He nodded to Hu Sanzhen and Mu Dongqing one after another, and said, "Master, Mr. Mu, are there any guests here today?" As he spoke, he smiled at Fang Tai.

Fang Tai could clearly see that this person was one of the people in the official palace that he had seen earlier at the post station outside the city, and he was standing behind those officials at that time, and he seemed to be a personal attendant.

Just now, Fang Tai also found out that this person sighed lightly when he saw him, and he knew that he might also recognize him, so when he heard that the words fell on him, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "In Xiaping Gaotai, I have seen this adult. ”

Seeing that Fang Taili was thoughtful, the man put his attitude low, and he was even more proflaming to himself, his face couldn't help but be a little smug, and he waved his hand and said: "Where to be an adult, in front of Master and Mr. Mu, my Sun Zhicai is just a junior." ”

Hu Wenxiu took a stool from the side and put it on the bottom, and said to Fang Tai: "Brother Acai, I am also from our medical hall, we grew up together since childhood." Last year, Brother A Cai was favored by Wu Xiancheng, stayed by his side, and was deeply used. Brother Cai, you don't know, you can keep me busy after you leave! If it weren't for Atay's help, I'd be exhausted today! ”

Hu Sanzhen, Mu Dongqing, Hu Wenxiu, and Fang Tai sat around a square table. Hu Sanzhen is naturally the main position, Mu Dongqing and Hu Sanzhen are commensurate with each other, they are considered Hu Wenxiu's elders, so they naturally sit on the left hand, Hu Wenxiu is on the right hand, and Fang Tai naturally accompanies the last position.

Sun Zhicai first saw Hu Wenxiu put the stool on Fang Tai's side, which could be regarded as a start, and his eyebrows couldn't help but raise, and when he heard her introduce herself to Fang Tai first, his eyes were a little unhappy.

But Hu Wenxiu didn't notice it at all, and he was still complaining to himself like a cannon in his mouth, and even more because of the master's face, Sun Zhicai glanced at Fang Tai, who moved his seat, and waved his sleeves and sat down.

"Oh? And this matter, I think this Ping brother is a little familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen it. ”

Fang Tai just ate two bites, hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "Yes, I saw an adult outside the city this morning, and it was at the post station. ”

"Outlander?"

"Exactly, I came to Nanxi to find refuge in my relatives, and I only arrived this morning, but I didn't want my relatives to be here, so I pounced on it, so I had to rely on the ability to learn to recognize medicine and plan to find a job here, so as to find a way out."

Seeing Fang Tai's respectful answer, Sun Zhicai nodded and said, "Speaking of which, I am also your senior, and I used to learn art under my master. Since you have won the approval of his old man, you should work hard and serve the master for a good life.

"Wenxiu, this is also a lot of affairs in the yamen recently, brother, I have come back less, otherwise how can I make you suffer, don't blame."

Hu Wenxiu said with a smile: "It's okay, Brother Acai, now that you have a future, you can follow Wu Xiancheng well." I heard that the performance appraisal of officials is coming this year, maybe it depends on what you do well, maybe you will be promoted to some kind of official, and then you will not be better off than us! You'll have to take care of the infirmary then, won't you? ”

Sun Zhicai heard his sister-in-law talk about himself like this, and his smile was even more proud, and he said, "Sister don't worry!" Now my brother and I don't say anything else in Nanxi, Wu Xiancheng's affairs are all handed over to me to handle personally, that is an authority that I couldn't think of before, if someone dares to come to the hospital to make trouble, hey! Don't dare to borrow his guts!

"Alas, it's just that I haven't served by Master's side for a long time, but I want to trouble my sister to help my brother do more."

The two were talking and laughing, and Hu Sanzhen suddenly slapped the chopsticks on the bowl.

Bang!

"Before? Did the old man treat you badly before? Why did you enter the yamen, and you are not an official, so you can't come to me to be majestic?! ”

From the time Sun Zhicai entered the door, Hu Sanzhen didn't look at him directly, and he didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, obviously dislike this former apprentice.

At this time, listening to him and his daughter blowing the conch on the side, looking frivolous and filial, Hu Sanzhen was even more angry, and directly shook his face.

Sun Zhicai has followed Hu Sanzhen for many years, and his majesty has long been deeply rooted in his heart, at this time, seeing that the master was angry, he hurriedly stood up and stood solemnly, bowed his head and said, "Master is angry!" The apprentice just said a few words to Wenxiu, and he never meant to disrespect the master! ”

"Humph!"

The goatee under Hu Sanpin's chin trembled, glared at Sun Zhicai with his eyes, and then got up and left the table, didn't even eat the remaining half of the bowl of rice, and went back to the house.

When Hu Wenxiu saw that his father was angry, he couldn't help but change his face, and he helplessly shouted into the house: "Daddy! What kind of anger are you! Isn't it right that Brother Acai is doing better now? He came back to see you...... Hey, be careful, aren't you just not doing things in the hospital, why do you still hold grudges, don't people still call you Master? ”

Seeing that Hu Sanzhen still didn't move, Hu Wenxiu pouted and pulled the corner of Sun Zhicai's clothes and sat him down again, saying, "Daddy's temper, let's ignore him!" Brother Cai, do you still want to eat some? ”

Sun Zhicai's eyes were gloomy, obviously hurt by Hu Sanzhen's words, but then he shook his head and said, "Alas...... Sister Wenxiu doesn't have to blame Master, it's my fault that I gave up Master's teachings for more than ten years and went against his old man's wishes......"

Fang Tai watched the play quietly on the side, taking care of himself and cooking non-stop.

Peeking at Mu Dongqing, he was still elegant, as if he didn't take what he had just done to heart, and after meticulously eating the rice grains in the bowl, he took out his handkerchief to wipe his mouth and nodded to Hu Wenxiu.

"Brother Mu, have you finished eating?"

"Hmm."

Sun Zhicai also nodded and apologized: "I just let Mr. Mu smile." ”

Mu Dongqing sighed and said, "Although your master is a little displeased with your approach, it is always for the sake of your future. Since you have been nurtured and taught by him, he needs to be responsible for you, and this is human nature, and you should not be resentful. ”

Sun Zhicai was silent.

Mu Dongqing said again: "Since you are an adult, you know that the road is your own choice, and you can bear the ups and downs on the road, and your master and mother can't do it for you." But you need to repay them for their kindness. ”

Only then did he nod heavily and said, "What Mr. Mu said is exactly what Zhicai thinks in his heart. ”

Mu Dongqing bowed his head slightly and said, "You young people talk, I'll go rest for a while, and call me when a patient comes." Then he paced back into the house.

Seeing that Sun Zhicai was still a little depressed, Hu Wenxiu encouraged him and said: "Brother Acai, it's okay, you must work hard and make a difference in the yamen, so that Daddy can be impressed by you!" ”

Sun Zhicai sighed lightly and said, "I hope so......"

"Hey, by the way, I just heard you and Atai say that they have already met?"

"Well, yes, it's at the inn outside the city early in the morning...... That's right! How to forget this important matter! ”

Hu Wenxiu was puzzled: "What's the matter, Brother Acai?" Is something wrong? ”

Sun Zhicai said with a straight face: "In the past few days, Wenxiu, you must pay attention to the faces in the city and be more careful, maybe there will be spies from Tubo hiding in them!" ”

"Ahh

Hu Wenxiu covered his mouth and shouted softly, "Tubo spies?!" Brother Cai, don't scare me, the two countries have only stopped for a few years, so are they going to war again? ”

Sun Zhicai looked cautious and said, "I'm not scaring you, the post man at the post station was killed last night!" The murderer also left handwriting and evidence, saying that he was a traitor in a foreign country! ”

This really scared Hu Wenxiu.

Yicheng Lao Cheng is recognized by the whole city, he was killed, and he said that he was a Tubo spy?

Fang Tai also stopped the chopsticks and listened intently.

"I can't go into the details of the case with you, but the evidence at the scene is conclusive! There is a way to know people, faces, but not hearts, and I don't think that Lao Cheng is honest and honest with someone, how can he become a thief...... The county magistrate personally explained that he would strictly inspect the people who had recently come and gone to the county, and said that he would have a curfew for ten days from today to deter Xiaoxiao! ”

"It's so serious...... Is there anything about the identity of the murderer? Is he leaving, is there any spy or anything in the city......"

"This is what your brother is going to do, Wu Xiancheng personally explained that he would start a strict investigation, and he handed it over to me to be responsible. Our medical hall has a great reputation because of the presence of Master and Mr. Mu, you have to be careful of the people who come from outside, if you don't recognize them, you must be careful and watch them carefully, maybe there will be thieves who come to the county seat to see a doctor here......"

As he spoke, Sun Zhicai was suddenly stunned, and Hu Wenxiu seemed to remember something, and the two slowly turned their eyes and looked at Fang Tai, who was holding the entire fish head.

Fang Tai embarrassedly put down the fish head slowly, and said, "Miss Wenxiu, this fish ...... It's delicious, uh, do you love fish heads, too? ”

Sun Zhicai squinted his eyes and said, "You must have heard what we just said, right?" Speaking of outsiders, Ping Gaotai, aren't you too? ”

Fang Tai grinned unnaturally, and said in his heart What is going on, the government of Nanxi County reacted quickly, but what is this?

Pigs hit a tree?

"Well, Lord Hui, I heard you...... I have already told Mr. Hu and Mr. Mu that I came to join the mother of the Shen family in the north of the city, and I am my cousin, but I didn't know that I had already moved away, which made me pounce. ”

Sun Zhicai still seemed to be a little skeptical, and asked, "In the morning, I saw that there were two of you coming, where did the other one go?" ”

Fang Tai opened his mouth and said, "I don't know, it's the guide I found halfway, and he received me a full eight dollars of silver!" He took me to the ground and left on his own. ”

"Guide? So what is his name and where does he live? ”

"Oh, he said his name is Fang Yi, I don't know where he is, but when he heard me say that I was going to Nanxi County in Wuling, he took the initiative to find me and said that I could lead the way, and I don't know anything else."

Fang Tai said Ping Gaoyi's pseudonym without changing his face, but he really didn't know where he had gone now.

Previously, they made a plan to explore the past of the Rejuvenation Medical Pavilion to find Taifeng, and also to find out the cause of death and the identity of the murderer of Lao Cheng of the Lingling Water Pavilion, and then they went separately, he went undercover in the Rejuvenation Medical Pavilion, and Ping Gaoyi went to other channels to follow up the clues.

Therefore, except for the vagueness in the name at this time, the rest of the rest are really not in the truth.

Sun Zhicai stared at Fang Tai for a long time, and he could only see that he was laughing awkwardly, except for a trace of nervousness when he was interrogated, he couldn't see any suspicion.

Hu Wenxiu thought for a while and said, "Brother Acai, the origin of Atai's identity, Daddy has asked about it, and there is no mistake." Can't you trust him, can't you trust Daddy? ”

Sun Zhicai nodded when he heard this, and said, "Speaking of which, Master, he is an old man who is well-informed, and he must be much better than me." However, Wenxiu, and this Brother Ping, if you see anyone with suspicious whereabouts, remember to report to the government in time. Of course, it's the same with me......"

At this time, I suddenly heard a muffled sound in the main room, it seemed that Hu Sanzhen slammed his fist on the table, obviously in a worse mood.

Seeing this, Sun Zhicai hurriedly got up and said, "Master is angry, Zhicai will leave." You must take care of yourself and come back to see you when you have time...... Wenxiu, Gao Tai, don't forget, I'm leaving. Then he left the courtyard and went out.
