Chapter 19 A rake
Emperor Zongming's amnesty to the world was completely unexpected by Gu Dan.
During the banquet, Xu Zhi'an kept boasting about the pomp and circumstance of this Jiao Festival, and the extraordinary characters he attended, including the wonderful expressions on the faces of hundreds of officials and hundreds of officials when Emperor Zong Ming proclaimed himself 'Lingxiao Shangqing Tong Lei Yuanyang Miao Yifei Xuan Zhenjun'.
But it was not said that Emperor Zongming gave amnesty to the world by the way.
Amnesty to the world, in the name of mercy, to pardon the criminals.
It is usually a pardon issued to show one's kindness when a new emperor ascends the throne, changes the name of the era, appoints an empress, appoints a crown prince, or has a major happy event.
Emperor Zongming has been in power for 22 years, and the crown prince has long been established, and the queen is the same, and the year name has not been changed for more than 20 years - the last time the world was amnesty was eight years ago, the second prince angrily violated the dragon scales in the palace of nourishing the heart, and was assigned to the frontier, and then set up the pardon decree issued by the eldest prince as the prince in order to show his kindness.
It's been eight years!
Under the amnesty, except for the rebellion, bullying of the king, and the emperor's personal trial, the rest of the prisoners are innocent of their crimes, and they no longer need to be imprisoned.
For the prisoners, this is great good news, and it is to sing praises of merit.
But for Gu Dan, this is the real bad news.
The prisoners are all gone, where does he go to find a lot of sick people who stay there honestly and don't move?
'Dog Emperor, you forgive the world, but what I lost is Shouyuan! ’
The joys and sorrows of human beings don't understand, compared to the happy smiles and gratitude of Ding Ji and others, Gu Dan only thinks they are noisy.
Although I felt very uncomfortable, I still had basic emotional intelligence, and I squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said: "Since you have been pardoned for your crimes, you must be a new person after you go out, and you must not be a traitor again." If I want to see you again next time I'm in prison, I'm not welcome. ”
"Master Gu, don't worry, we will definitely change our minds and be new people!"
Someone patted his chest and assured one after another.
After another moment, someone asked, "Master Gu, our sick ......?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the field.
Everyone fell silent and looked at Gu Dan.
The emotions contained in the eyes are called anticipation and hope.
The silent and magnificent power gathered together, and Gu Dan met their gaze, and the originally troubled mood gradually sank.
"This is today's medicine, so take it. As for ...... later"
Gu Dan paused and continued: "I opened a pharmacy in Dongning Fang, called Health Medicine Shop, which is next to the Mo Family Martial Arts Hall, and you can find out if you ask someone." It doesn't matter if the consultation fee is expensive, and the medicinal materials are not expensive. If you want to continue healing, you can go and have a look. ”
It's ridiculous to say that when they are still in prison, Gu Dan can still provide them with free diagnosis and treatment, and even the medicinal materials are from the Tai Hospital.
But once he was released from prison, it should have been a great joy, but the illness on his body was gone.
The Tai Hospital does have the duty to diagnose and treat prisoners, although there is no requirement that prisoners in prison also need them to be treated, and no Tai Doctor has done so before.
But after all, he has this responsibility, and he has the right to act cheaply.
If they are not prisoners, Gu Dan naturally has no reason to take medicine from the Tai Hospital to treat them for free - this is the difference between business and selfishness, and it must not be confused.
As for paying for them free of charge...... Oh, it's not that you can't, but why?
These people look pitiful in prison, but don't forget that these guys are prisoners.
Even if there are inevitably a few unlucky people who have no choice but to go to prison, most of them are genuine perpetrators.
Feel sorry for them?
Who will be distressed by the victims?
He would rather go to the countryside for free medical treatment in his life, and he may not have even gone out of the village to the old peasants, and he would not choose to provide free medical treatment for these people out of his own pocket.
The scene was quiet for a while, and the joy on many people's faces couldn't help but stiffen.
If no one has healed, that's it.
But it is clear that Gu Dan is already being healed, as long as they persist for another month or two, their illness will be cured!
It's not terrible to have no hope, but it's the most difficult thing to accept when you see hope and then slip away.
"My lord, we are all poor families, out of prison, where is the slightest bit of money? Hello people do it to the end, save us! In the crowd, a fat man with a big belly and a fair face was the first to speak.
The prison is bitter, and two bowls of gruel a day are also clear soup and little water, and this guy can still have a big belly, obviously spending a lot of money in exchange for the jailer's preferential treatment.
When the people waiting here saw that someone was the first to speak, they immediately responded in unison: "Yes, yes! We have long been out of money, and without you in prison, where can we still see a doctor? It is said that the doctor is benevolent, and the Gu master is merciful and compassionate, please! ”
"We Shengdou people want to cure the disease, and we can't cure it by cutting back on food and clothing! You are from Tai Hospital, and you don't need money to get medicine, so help us! ”
"We know you're a good person, Master Gu, you can do it!"
The voices of the people converged into a tide and swarmed towards Gu Dan, and everyone in the crowd was talking, as if there were a thousand ducks making noise.
Each of their faces was full of anticipation, full of pleading, and each of them seemed to have its own grievances.
In the crowd, only Ding Ji stared at the group of guys behind him dumbfounded.
Originally, these people said that they would stay here together and wait for him, thanking him for his treatment in his cell.
But Ding Ji didn't expect that there would be such a play!
"You ...... You're going too far! ”
Even if Ding Ji has studied private school for a few years and studied some classics, he can't find the right words to describe it at this time.
"Excessive?"
The fat man closest to Ding Ji glanced at him with disdain and said, "Heh, your injury has been cured, and you have no worries, so you are ready to cross the river and tear down the bridge?" ”
Ding Ji's face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Nonsense! I'm staying here just to thank Master Gu for his healing! ”
"Then what's your share here! Your illness is cured, but our illness is not cured! ”
"That's it, this kind of person is cheap! If you are cured of your own illness, you can't see the good of others! ”
"Fake gratitude, if your illness hadn't healed, what would you say?"
Ding Ji's words can be described as 'public anger'.
The voices of denunciation converged, and in the blink of an eye he became a despicable and shameless person who flattered, sloppied, and clever words.
You say a word to me, even if Ding Ji has a thousand mouths, he can't say a word at this time.
"I ...... I didn't! Ding Ji's face was as red as blood, but no one listened to him at all.
Everyone had already surrounded Gu Dan, and the fat man pleaded: "Master Gu, you are even willing to treat people like Ding Ji, so save us!" ”
"Yes, no matter how we are, we will never be like Ding Ji in front of us and behind our backs."
"You can save even someone like him, let alone us?"
The voice was chaotic and complicated, and Ding Ji, who first wanted to say a fair word, was immediately beaten upside down and became a negative teaching material in their mouths.
