"My lord? My lord? What's wrong with you. ”

The call of an official pulled Zhao Ping back from his memories. Looking at his subordinates with a concerned face, Zhao Ping waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I was thinking about things just now." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Ping turned his attention back to Shi Cheng, who had already finished applying the needle and prescribed the medicine order.

Shi Cheng stood up, clapped his hands, turned to Zhao Ping and said, "Lord Zhao, let's go to the next one." ”

Zhao Ping nodded and stood up, probably not even noticing that his gaze at Shi Cheng had eased a lot.

They bought some dry food in the market and ate it with the water they had brought with them. Then, Shi Cheng drove the convoy to the next house in a hurry, and time passed moment by moment, the convoy finished one after another, and Zhao Ping's doubts about himself became heavier and heavier.

"Could it be that I'm wrong? Could this Shi Cheng really just want to have a free clinic in the city? Zhao Ping secretly thought to himself in his heart, but then shook his head, he has seen too much evil in his line of work, and it is precisely because he has seen too much evil that he sometimes has serious doubts about the good he sees in his eyes.

Zhao Ping had been staring closely at Shi Cheng, Tie Mian, and Wu Neng's every move all afternoon, but he still hadn't noticed anything. Shi Cheng repeated over and over again the diagnosis, dispensing medicines, administering needles, and prescribing prescriptions, which are all ordinary behaviors for doctors, and occasionally chatted with the patient's family members, and the chats were all normal and homely. Zhao Ping was even suspicious of his own eyes and ears, because from beginning to end, his eyes and ears had given him the conclusion that Shi Cheng was just a pure pharmacist.

Shi Cheng's diagnosis process was fast and accurate, and by the time the sun had set, the crowd had already walked through nearly half of the city's residential areas. After Shi Cheng finished reading the last few people who came to seek treatment, he said to Zhao Ping: "Lord Zhao, let's get here here today, and we will continue tomorrow." ”

Zhao Ping nodded, and the group went back to the inn. After sending Shi Cheng back to the inn, Zhao Ping rushed to the Qincha Mansion without stopping.

Sun Jinyong was sitting in a room reviewing the new file at this time, and when he heard that Zhao Ping was back, he immediately got up and went to the side hall.

As soon as he saw Zhao Ping, Sun Jinyong asked urgently: "Ah Ping, how is the situation?" ”

"The subordinates didn't find anything out of the ordinary, and the secret sentry we set up didn't find any suspicious people." After speaking, Zhao Ping repeated his experience today. At the end, Zhao Ping suddenly said unconsciously: "He gives me the feeling that he is just a pure pharmacist." As soon as these words came out, even Zhao Ping himself was shocked, and he didn't understand why he couldn't help Shi Cheng say something.

Sun Jinyong was also silent, he sat on a chair, and after a while, he spoke: "Ah Ping, you have to know that in our line of work, you can't be emotional when making judgments, and you haven't corrected this point. ”

Zhao Ping lowered his head and said ashamedly: "Yes, my lord, my subordinates have lost their words." ”

"That's it," Sun Jinyong sighed and said, "Tomorrow you continue to keep an eye on them, remember, don't let go of any detail." ”

Zhao Ping nodded in agreement, and then asked Sun Jinyong, "My lord, has there been any progress in the cases on the Xieyang Road and Baisha City sides?" ”

Sun Jinyong rubbed his forehead and sighed: "There are no new discoveries, but now in order to follow up on the new case in Baisha City, I have to transfer some additional manpower." Most of the civil officials in the major cities are people who are in line with the yang and the yin, because of my status, they are not willing to help with all their might. Even though I am now nominally a member of the Imperial Mission, I am still a martial artist after all, and there is no precedent before, so it is difficult to convince the public after all. Now that we have less and less people on hand, I sent another excerpt to Wangcheng today, hoping that the Criminal Procuratorate can send more people over, and I hope it can still play a role. ”

Zhao Ping has been on an errand under Sun Jinyong for many years, and he also knows some of the atmosphere in the officialdom. He was angry, but he was helpless.

Sun Jinyong smiled self-deprecatingly and sighed lightly: "If this kind of case happened on the main galloping road like Tongyang Road, how dare that class of actors be so lazy." But then again, if something really happened on Tongyang Road, I wouldn't be qualified to be this minister. ”

……

"What's the matter, Lord Zhao? I see your face isn't too good today? As soon as Shi Cheng saw Zhao Ping today, he could see that he seemed to be a little worried. However, seeing that Zhao Ping waved his hand, Shi Cheng didn't ask much, and the group drove the car and started the next day's free clinic.

Everything is still the same as yesterday, Shi Cheng is just patiently repeating yesterday's process, and so are Tie Mian and Wu Neng. Zhao Ping had been silent all day, but compared to yesterday, he would occasionally help Shi Chengyi during his consultation. Shi Cheng received more and more praise in the city, and the two officials who traveled with Zhao Ping even received a lot of thanks, which made the two officials who had seen a lot of ups and downs a little flattered for a while.

The sun was sinking in the west, and after treating a child living in the compound, Shi Cheng saw that Wu Neng and Tie Mian were staring at the medicine stove where the medicine was boiling, so he found a step and sat down to rest.

Shi Cheng hadn't sat down for long, and another person also sat down beside him, Shi Cheng turned his head and found that the person sitting next to him was actually Zhao Ping.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Ping broke the brief silence, "I remember that you mentioned your own age in front of me and Master Sun, you are only twenty-eight years old this year, aren't you, five years younger than me. I really didn't expect that there would be a young pharmacist with such superb medical skills in this world. ”

"Shi is just lucky, and God has favored me, so I have more talent in medical skills."

"I don't like people who are deliberately humble." Zhao Ping said, "There are talented people, but there are many talented but dirty people, if there are more pharmacists who are eager for justice and righteousness, and there are fewer pharmacists who are dirty in mind, this world may be better." ”

Shi Cheng looked directly at Zhao Ping and said seriously: "Lord Zhao, one or two pharmacists who are anxious for justice and righteousness can only be the icing on the cake, and the treatment of the symptoms will not be done by the consciousness of a few people. ”

Zhao Ping was speechless for a while. After a long time, he stood up, and threw down a sentence as he walked into the room: "Shi Cheng, I hope you are really just a simple reporter." ”

After Zhao Ping returned to the house, Shi Cheng turned his attention to the courtyard, where a group of children who had just returned from private school were playing games.

The game played by the children is very simple, one child plays the role of the catcher and the other child plays the role of the spy. After the child who played the trap was covered with a black cloth over his eyes, the child who played the spy smiled and called the rest of the children to come and draw lots. After the children had drawn the lots, a chubby little boy looked at the half-black wooden skewer in his hand that had been painted with ink and was a little distressed, and he seemed to be playing the role of a thief or something.

Soon, the first round of the game began, and the children walked in front of the blindfolded "catcher", and every time they walked by, the "spy" would shout "good guy", except for the little boy who took the black stick, and when the "spy" shouted "bandit".

Soon, all eight children walked in front of the "catcher" and stood on the other side. But just as Catch Fast was about to remove the blindfold, the little boy who played the bandit suddenly walked far behind his rightmost companion. After the child who played the role of "catching fast" took off the blindfold, he hesitated slightly, and then reached out and tapped the second child from the left. But he was disappointed, and the boy took out the wooden skewer that was hidden behind him, and it was clean and nothing was painted.

"Catch fast" had to put back the black cloth. At this time, everyone else's eyes were on the "bandit", who hesitated and pointed to a boy with short hair. The "spy" hurriedly took a wooden skewer coated with green ink from the wooden tube behind him and handed it to the designated boy, who took the green skewer and then obediently handed the clean wooden skewer in his hand to the "spy". Subsequently, the children walked in front of the "fast catcher" in turn like the previous round, but the difference was that when the child with the green wooden stick walked in front of the "fast catcher", the "spy" reported that it was a "bandit". The "bandit" holding the black wooden stick repeated his old trick after walking in front of the "fast catcher", and stood far away to the other end. As a result, it is conceivable that the "Catch Kuai", who unbuttoned his blindfold, still failed to catch the "bandits" this time.

The third round began, and this time, like the previous round, there was another "bandit" with a green sign. This time, the luck of "catching fast" was better, and a "bandit" with a green wooden stick was named, but it was not possible to point out the "bandit" with a black stick. The kid who was named stood next to the "spy" and seemed to be eliminated.

It may be because the black thief was not named, and before the fourth round of the game began, the little boy with the black stick ordered another child, so there were still three "bandits" in the fourth round of the game. This time, the child who played the role of "catching fast" had some backs and ordered a good person to come out.

The fifth round began, in the face of the four "bandits", "catch fast" was a little impatient, he deliberately left a slit in his eyes when wearing a black cloth, and when the fat little boy walked in front of him with a black stick, the child who played the "catch fast" suddenly ripped off the black cloth and said loudly: "Brother Zhuangzhuang!" Sure enough, it's you again, are you moving around again! With that, he rushed towards the chubby little boy.

The little boy named Zhuang Zhuang saw that something was wrong, and defended himself as he ran: "If I didn't move, you wouldn't have arrested me a long time ago!" ”

The two children ran and chased each other, and the other children coaxed on the side, and the yard was filled with joy for a while.

"Lao Shi, the medicine is boiled." Wu Neng took a fan and walked out of the house with a smoky fire. When he saw Shi Cheng, he was startled by Shi Cheng's expression, and hurriedly asked, "Old Shi, what's wrong?" ”

At this time, Shi Cheng had already stood up from the steps, his eyes were staring at the children who were making a fuss, his expression was extremely serious, as if he was thinking about something.
