Chapter 88

In the dark room, there was only an oil lamp, illuminating a few feet of land, looking solemnly at the sleepy mother lying on the couch, her dark face full of sorrow, a thin piece of Leiyang paper in her hand. It seems to weigh more than a thousand pounds.

This is the prescription that Zhang Zhongjing just prescribed for his mother. Since his mother has been bedridden all year round, she has bought medicine seriously for many years, so she knows the price of the medicine very well. Most of the prescriptions written by Zhang Zhongjing contain precious herbs, and he can't buy much with his monthly salary. Vice drug, what should I do?

"Husband..." The commoner Yan's wife, Wang Shi, showed a worried look on her face.

Shaking his head solemnly and slowly, without saying a word, he turned and walked out of his mother's bedroom.

When Liu Jing and Zhang Zhongjing outside the door saw him coming out, they immediately stopped talking.

"Liu Jun, Zhang Jun..." Serious and bitter.

Liu Jing didn't understand why the seriousness was so serious, didn't Zhang Zhongjing say that his mother was not in danger of life.

Zhang Zhongjing knew the reason, Yan's house was poor, so he could see that his family was poor, but there was nothing he could do. Yan's mother's condition suddenly deteriorated, and her body was in urgent need of warming and recuperation. Non-expensive medicines would not be effective.

After Liu Jing understood the situation, he didn't take it seriously. Anything that could be solved with money was nothing to worry about. He said solemnly: "Bo Mu, I will make up for your mother's medical expenses, so there is no need to worry." He didn't bear all of Yan's mother's medical expenses because he was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, otherwise this little money would be nothing but a drop in the bucket to him.

"Liu Jun has not yet had the opportunity to repay the kindness of his support, but now he is saving his mother from danger. I, I..." I said solemnly, weeping and unable to speak, I turned around and took care of my mother's wife Wang Shi and younger brother Yan Yi in the room. Called out, the three of them bowed to the ground in unison, thank you very much.

"Bomu doesn't have to be like this." Liu Jing raised his solemn support, comforted him with kind words, and took his hand as he parted and said:

"Bomu, you don't have to come to Shilou these days, and take good care of your mother at home."

Seriously bowed to answer "No".

Liu Jing sighed again: "The virtuous mother, not the mother of Tianji, I have admired for a long time. Today, my mother is ill, so I can't visit her. I will visit her in person some other day." With thin shoulders, he turned and boarded the carriage.

Seriously watching the carriage disappear into the night, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Brother..." Yan Yi whispered from behind.

Seriously looking at his brother with red eyes, he said word by word: "Liu Jun's kindness to my Yan family, Adi must firmly remember."

"Yes." Yan Yi looked solemn.

In the car, Zhang Zhongjing and Liu Jing said with emotion: "Confucius said: 'In the town of ten houses, there must be loyalty and trust.' I don't want to have a talent like Yan Bomu hidden in the city besides Zhong Da."

"Yan Bomu was originally a city jailer..." Liu Jing introduced his serious past to Zhang Zhongjing. Naturally, he couldn't help but mention his own insight and knowledge. Finally, he quoted the opening chapter of "Ma Shuo": "In the world there is Bole, and then there is a thousand-mile horse. A thousand-mile horse Often, but Bole does not often have."

Seeing Liu Jing boasting of Bole, Zhang Zhongjing shook his head with a smile. Liu Zhongda is a rare genius in the world. If he has to say that he has any shortcomings, it is that he is too conceited.

…………

Although Zhang Zhongjing is one of the best doctors in the world, he was unable to cure the disease. Even in the first few days, Yan's mother's condition did not improve at all, which made Serenity worried. It was not until half a month after taking the medicine that the first results were seen.

Time has quietly entered December, and there is only the last month left in the second year of Xingping. For the people of Linxiang, this year is considered to be a calm one. There is always something to add throughout the year. Since the twelfth lunar month, it has been deserted for a long time The market gradually regained some prosperity.

The more people there are, the more things will happen. Many vendors have been idle for a long time, and they have a fluke mentality. They all want to take advantage of the end of the year to kill a knife. After a fat year, they completely forget about Liu Jing on their heads.

So what if you have a copper bucket, just add water to the rice; so what if you have an iron ruler, just weave the cloth thinner, even though it is so rampant on the surface, it is even more tricky in the dark, and for a while there are demons dancing in the market.

The people were wronged and immediately came to the city building to complain. If it was before, the city officials would not care about it. However, since Liu Jing took charge of the city building and dismissed a few city officials who had neglected their duties, no one dared to turn a deaf ear to the people.

Liu Jing couldn't help laughing out of breath when he received the report below. These vendors appeared in front of him as victims at first.

When he successively attacked the three evils in the city, officials, rangers, and thieves, there was no sound of disturbance in the city, no sound of drums, and the traders no longer suffered harm, but turned their heads and continued to harm the people.

Later, Liu Jing made frequent moves, such as policies such as copper buckets and iron rulers, and ten times heavier penalties, to completely suppress them. Unexpectedly, these merchants only stopped for a few months before they returned to their old ways.

Liu Jing sneered, since you don't want the people to have a good year, I won't let you have a good time.He summoned the left and right Shi Yansheng and Xie Liang, and ordered them to collect evidence in private, and only when the evidence was conclusive, one counted as one, arrested more than [-] people in a few days, and locked them all in the city jail.What awaits them will be a heavy fine. If they do not pay, I am afraid that this year will be spent in prison.

Liu Jing's thunderous tactics terrified the merchants in the city, while the common people rejoiced, and the market became "harmonious" again.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Jing has been busy buying new year's goods since the morning, and he has been busy until the afternoon.

Sitting in the room, holding the stove in his arms, Liu Jing called Ma Zhou and Liu Zhu in. One of them was a desperado and the other was an orphan, so Liu Jing sent out an invitation: "Zijin, Wenxiu, all of you If you are alone, how about going home with me to celebrate New Year's Eve and Zhengdan?"

Ma Zhou was very surprised when he heard the words, he shook his head and said, "Thank you Jun Liu for the invitation, but I have promised Hong Chao before to go to his house for the holiday."

Liu Jing nodded and looked at Liu Zhu again.

Liu Zhu hesitated for a moment, and said: "The official has already agreed to the elder brother's wish." In fact, he really wanted to go to his house with Liu Jing, but he felt inferior and couldn't say it.

Liu Jing was afraid that the two of them would be alone in the official house, since they both have places to go, it would be great.He pointed at the mountains of New Year's goods piled up in the corner of the room, and said to the two of them, "Zijin and Wenxiu, go and pick it out yourself, take whatever you fancy."

Ma Zhou and Liu Zhu looked at each other, thanked them all, and chose a few things they liked.

Liu Jing did not favor one over the other, everyone in the city and upstairs had gifts, even the little officials got some wine and meat.

As soon as the day was over, the weary and honest-looking Song Gu arrived at the city building in a bullock cart.

Liu Jing ordered him to load all the New Year's goods into the car, and Ma Zhou and Liu Zhu also came to help. They ran seven or eight times before they were emptied, and the whole car was packed to the brim.

As soon as the market closing drum sounded, Liu Jing immediately put on thick clothes and hats, and rode a red steed to return home with Song Gu.
