Chapter 602 Yo Yo Yo, Isn't This Gao Qiu?Entered the Imperial City Division?

"The winter solstice is coming, you take it and have a good festival."

In Sui'an Medical Hall, An Daoquan handed the prepared red pouch to the apprentices, buddies, and shopkeepers of the medical hall.

The former are apprentices who follow them as medical assistants, while the latter are the people in charge of the pharmacy business.

The apprentices took it happily, only caring about being happy. The shopkeeper of the pharmacy looked a little weird. After a short exchange of eyes, he also thanked An Daoquan repeatedly: "Thank you, Dr. An!" "Dr. An is really a living Bodhisattva!"

An Daoquan smiled, looking at this medical clinic that was getting more and more famous in the capital, thinking that at the beginning, he could only be on the side of Xiaotianshui Lane, helping those idlers wash their gold seals, and he was very satisfied.

Thinking about the family members in Jiangning Mansion again, he really wanted to bring them here and reunite the family. Unfortunately, now that the capital is free from the harm of Wuyou Cave, there is...

"Open the door! Open the door quickly!!"

Just as he was thinking about it, a rude shout suddenly came from outside, knocking on the door.

The shopkeeper and the waiter changed their colors, and they came closer and said, "Doctor An, listen to that voice, it's from the Imperial City Division again, why don't you leave!"

An Daoquan shook his head: "If you can't hide, I'll open the door."

In fact, the shopkeeper and the staff knew that they couldn't escape. The purpose of saying this was to fear that An Daoquan would let them go forward to deal with those vicious hawks and dogs.

On the contrary, although the apprentices were also afraid, they also came to the door together with An Daoquan. As soon as the door was opened, several men rushed in, cursing and saying: "Why are you so slow, let the grandpas suffer outside?" Is it cold?"

Being stabbed by the cold wind blowing in the face, and listening to the swearing, the apprentices paled and fell back again and again, but An Dao stood upright, not in a hurry, and looked at the comer.

There were five people rushing in, and four of them behaved like the rascals on the streets of Bianjing in the past, and they put on a layer of official skin, which couldn't hide their sloppy appearance at all, but the one in the middle had a bit of a look. different.

Although he didn't look like a decent citizen, but with delicate features, straight back and back, and a green robe, he had a faint majesty, but he still had a bit of appearance.

Just when An Daoquan was guessing who this green-robed official was, the rascal in front tilted his head and asked, "Does Doctor An still recognize us?"

An Daoquan shook his head: "I have no impression."

The idlers sneered, and one of them said: "Dr. An is indeed a noble person who forgets things. We came to seek medical treatment a few months ago. At that time, we were very poor. We wanted Dr. An to waive the drug fee, but Dr. An refused directly. He just collected hundreds of Wen, and now we are fortunate enough to be the soldiers of the Imperial City Division, so we are coming back to repay you?"

This is simply nonsense, the apprentice showed resentment, and An Daoquan replied indifferently: "Sui'an Medical Center will provide some cheap medicines for poor people, but unless a disaster strikes, we will not provide free consultations."

"My elder brother said that a stable interest income is the key to sustaining a business for a long time. Good deeds that abandon interests will deteriorate sooner or later."

These scoundrels who became the imperial city's guards were furious when they heard the words, and they were about to take the opportunity to find trouble when the green-robed official in the middle raised his hand to stop him: "Dare to ask the elder brother of Miracle Doctor An, is that Miracle Doctor Lin?"

The rascal shut up angrily, An Daoquan nodded: "That's right."

The green-robed official said: "I've heard about Lin Chong Lin Erlang for a long time. He not only has supernatural medical skills, but also solves crimes and arrests criminals. He is also a hero who cleared up Wuyou Cave. I want to see Gao Qiu in the lower imperial city."

An Daoquan changed color slightly.

He didn't care about a few rogue soldiers, but the position of the Imperial City Secretary was quite different.

The top leader of the Imperial City Division was originally a public official, and was appointed by a martial arts doctor, Du Zhi, or an arbitrator. For example, Ding Run, a martial arts doctor of the seventh rank, was engaged in the official business of the Imperial City Division. Since Ding Run entered Kaifeng as a judge, At that time, the official position was filled by Yang Jian, the sixth-rank internal servant in the palace, and Lan Congxi, the sixth-rank internal servant.

However, it is said that recently the government intends to set up the Imperial City Division to promote one member, whose rank is above official business.

Don't ask how An Daoquan knew about this kind of thing. The news of the capital spread too fast, and coupled with the current level of hatred of the Imperial City Secretary, there was a faint tendency to succeed Wuyoudong. As soon as this matter came out, the people discussed and speculated Who will be responsible for promoting and pointing out, and whether it can change the atmosphere of the Imperial City Division.

An Daoquan also had a discussion, but he didn't expect the legendary point to appear in front of him like this. He was still an unknown young man, and he didn't dare to neglect: "My brother won't ask a doctor today, so I don't know what's the point of raising the point. Things, I can inform you on my behalf.”

Gao Qiu said with a smile: "No need, it seems that I have lost my manners. Since Lin Erlang is not here today, we should come to visit another day. The incident just now didn't scare Dr. An?"

An Daoquan was furious in his heart, and he didn't follow the routine of using both soft and hard things, but in the face of Huangcheng Secretary's despotic power, he would not fight for a few words: "We practice medicine and consultation, we just want to be safe. People are as accommodating as Gao Tidian, which is also a blessing for me and other small people."

Gao Qiu laughed and said, "Thank you! Thank you!"

The two chatted again, basically Gao Qiu was asking, An Daoquan answered cautiously, until the wind outside stopped, Gao Qiu looked over: "I'm bothering you today, goodbye!"

An Daoquan sent them out, and just watched the group of people disappear when he was surprised to see Li Yan riding a pony to the entrance of the hospital: "Brother! Fortunately, you just came..."

Li Yan got off the horse, led the horses to the unified return location, and then returned to the entrance of the hospital: "Are you in trouble? Go in and talk..."

The two went inside, and saw a group of shopkeepers and shopkeepers reappeared, offering tea and saying hello affectionately.

Li Yan took the tea very peacefully, listened to An Daoquan recount what happened just now, his eyes flickered, and he thought to himself: "Imperial Secretary of the Imperial City, order Gao Qiu... This future captain actually joined the Imperial City Secretary." , it's too stretched..."

Perhaps for an ordinary person, being an official in the Imperial City Department is already a great achievement, but who is Gao Qi, one of Zhao Ji's most beloved courtiers, who actually arranged to join this spy organization?
But after thinking about it, Li Yan also understood the reason: "It seems that Zhao Ji's trust in Gao Qi is higher than those of the eunuchs, so he entrusted this important errand to him."

Gao Qiu is the former official of Zhao Ji's hidden mansion, that is, when Zhao Ji was still the king of Duan, he was with his cronies. Such courtiers will often have high positions after the emperor ascends the throne. For example, Li Jingxuan, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was exactly The former minister of Li Zhi's hidden residence.

Of course, Gao Qiu's level is not comparable to that of Li Jingxuan. This person is actually not ranked among the treacherous officials in the late Northern Song Dynasty in the official history.

Gao Qiu has two black spots. One is a lucky minister who was appreciated by Zhao Ji by relying on Cuju. He has no military or political ability, but he is similar to Zhao Ji in many artistic hobbies. He recites poems and paints, and also sumo wrestling and so on. He is an excellent playmate, and Zhao Ji especially likes such people.

The second is that after Gao Qiu became a captain, he treated the Forbidden Army as a private service and did private work for himself to seek benefits, which caused the "discipline of the Forbidden Army to be lax" and "people don't know soldiers, and they have nothing to use."

Of course, the imperial army became like that, and the blame cannot be completely dumped on Gao Qiu. The evaluation of "losing" is really outrageous. It can only be said that the world is like this in this era. After there are more treacherous officials, they all rely on their peers to set off.

Originally, an ordinary villain like Gao Qi without a personal biography should not be as famous as the six thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty, but "Water Margin" made him a household name, ranking alongside Cai Jing and Tong Guan. Due to personal reasons that are hard to guess, Li Yan was very interested in communicating with Gao Qiu, but he didn't expect this guy to come to his door on his own initiative.

very good!

An Daoquan found that his brother's mood seemed to suddenly improve, he couldn't help being a little strange, and couldn't help reminding: "Brother, this high-ranking young man has some official authority, and now the Imperial City Secretary is deeply trusted by the officials. , he suddenly came looking for you, I'm afraid it's not a good thing!"

Li Yan nodded: "I know, but just as they came to the door, it is useless for you to hide in the medical hall, and you still have to open the door in the end. My home is in Bianjing. If you really want to find the imperial city secretary, you can't avoid it." .”

An Daoquan sighed: "That's true... By the way, the wind and rain are coming outside, brother, is there something to do when you come to the hospital?"

At this time, the clerk and shopkeeper have all returned to the pharmacy, and the apprentices are also busy around. Li Yan said directly: "I just looked at the account books and found that there are many fraudulent places in the income of the medical center in the past six months. It is a conservative estimate. Part of the benefits have been embezzled."

An Daoquan was stunned: "How much has been embezzled?"

Li Yan looked at him: "No less than three thousand guan."

An Daoquan gasped: "Isn't this more than the two of us? Is it Zhang Yu's work?"

Li Yandao: "I speculate that this matter will not have much to do with Zhang Yu. Now that he has the income of this street, his position in the Shangqiu Chamber of Commerce is becoming more and more stable, so he won't be so short-sighted."

An Daoquan looked at the pharmacy at the back and understood: "The apprentice can't handle so much money. It's the shopkeeper Sun and those guys from the pharmacy? How dare they!"

Li Yandao: "Don't underestimate the appetite of these people. They are members of the Shangqiu Guild. Seeing that you are from another state, and I don't care much about the income of the medical clinic, it is not surprising that they are so bold..."

An Daoquan's chest heaved violently, and he couldn't bear the anger: "I am so kind to them, I give them enough salary, and I also give money bags every year and holiday. This is how they repay it? Brother, you must be severely punished!"

Li Yandao: "Don't act rashly, the nature of this matter is very bad, but if it involves the Shangqiu Chamber of Commerce, if it is not handled properly, it will be difficult to recover the money, and it will cause future troubles..."

He put down his teacup: "You just said that the policemen under that Imperial City Si Ti Dian had their eyes on the medical center?"
