Bianjing little doctor

Chapter 103 Chen Liu, the leader of the water bandits

The winter water is gurgling, the sun is hanging in the sky, and the dead leaves are rustling by the wind.

On the bank of the Bian River, it was damp and cold. Tang Wenshi of Chenliuzhi County organized hundreds of boatmen to salvage the sunken ship of the King of Guangling.

Last night, as soon as he fell asleep with Xinna's concubine in his arms, he got up in a hurry when he received the news, and he couldn't close his eyes until now. The master put a soft chair for him on the bank, and Tang Zhixian was about to sit on it. After coming down to take a nap, the yamen servant came to report the arrival of the King of Guangling County.

The magistrate of Tang quickly stood up, neatly dressed, and went to greet him.

Even though he was bored to the extreme, he had to put up 12 points of energy and greet him with a smile.

"The king of Guangling County drove to Chenliu, and the officials were far away to welcome him."

Fu Jiuqu lazily glanced at the river and smiled carelessly.

"You're welcome. Whether the magistrate of the Tang Dynasty comes to welcome you or not, the water bandits are very enthusiastic. They almost greeted the king's head right away."

Dense sweat floated on the forehead of the magistrate of Tang Dynasty.

He was sent to Chen Liulai to be the county magistrate last year. He used to be an official in the capital. He had heard of Guangling County King. This sentence sounded like a joke, but he understood that Guangling County King was very dissatisfied with the day last night and was very angry. .

This is the only nephew of the official family. If the robbery is not handled well, even if he survives, his future in this life will be ruined. How can he be willing to study hard for more than ten years to become an official?

"The king forgives the crime!"

Tang Wenshi gritted his teeth and bowed deeply to Fu Jiuqu.

"It's because the officials are incompetent. It's been more than a year since I came to Chenliu on the winter solstice last year. I haven't been able to cure the scourge of banditry in Chenliushui. The serious illness is difficult to cure, and the chronic illness is still lingering... Who would have expected this group of daring things? , It actually fell on the head of the county king, the lower official is guilty."

No matter right or wrong, first punish yourself with three cups, and then push the matter of water banditry to the previous magistrate, and classify it as a serious illness. No wonder.

Xin Yi found it amusing to sit on the donkey's back with a smile.

These people never speak well when they have something to say.

Fu Jiuqu chuckled, not surprised by Tang Zhixian's sophistry.

Chen Liu's water banditry is so serious, as the magistrate, is he really unable to deal with it, or is he afraid to deal with it because of some concerns, or is it a nest of snakes and rats, colluding with officials and bandits?
Fu Jiuqu: "Tang magistrate is right, and I blame this king for going out of Beijing to handle the case in secret. In order to avoid causing trouble, I didn't take the official ship, didn't warn the water bandits, and didn't notify Tang magistrate in advance. I'm going to pay a pier. No wonder others .”

The county magistrate of Tang smiled wryly, with a hint of flattery, "The king of the county said so, it really is a disgruntled official. The king of the county came to Chenliu, so that the official, the firefly light, can look up at the sun and the moon, and listen to the king of the county with his own ears. A lesson is already a great blessing."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the river and lowered his voice suddenly, "The king of the county does not know that this section of water is divided into two jurisdictions, one is Chenliu, and the other is Yongqiu. These water bandits are as good as Like a fox, he doesn't go anywhere, just guarding this section of the river... To tell you the truth, in the year since he arrived in Chenliu, he has had many frictions with Hezhi County in Yongqiu because of the water bandits. Wang, it's really... hard to be an official, hard to do."

It is difficult to even say two, the protagonist of the bitter drama is undoubtedly.

Fu Jiuqu looked at him, "How do you know the county? But He Xu, who was an editor at the Imperial Academy?"

Tang Wenshi's eyes flickered slightly, and he cupped his hands with a smile, "It is the young and promising Mr. He, Tan Hualang who was famous in Beijing the year before last, and the son-in-law of the Zhang family."

Fu Jiuqu smiled and said nothing.

Tang Wenshi stopped talking and didn't go deep into the topic.

At this time, several officials from Chenliu County came to pay respects to Fu Jiuqu, and then they talked about the salvage of the sunken ship.

The crowd was very lively, but they never mentioned Hezhi County in Yongqiu again.

In the final analysis, He Xu, who became the chief official of one party at such a young age, is probably someone above him. After several years of experience in Yongqiu and returning to Beijing, it is very likely that he is going to enter the two governments to discuss matters. Who can provoke him?
For Tang Wenshi, it was not his turn to eat meat, and he was helpless when he was beaten. Today, the king of Guangling County is here, so he took the opportunity to spit out sour water, and he didn't dare to complain too clearly.

It is conceivable how deep the water is in the boundary between Chenliu and Yongqiu.

Fu Jiuqu stayed for a while, and the magistrate of Tang County sent them to Chenliu and arranged for them to stay in a post house.

In the evening, he personally led people to send some of the items salvaged from the sunken ship to the post house.

Fu Jiuqu didn't show up again, but let Cai Qi receive him.

Of course their luggage was uneven, but the items sent by Chen Liuzhi County... were several times their own belongings.

Good guy!
Cai Qi had rarely been to the place before, but this was the first time he saw such a battle.Looking at this magistrate who is full of smiles, he does not show the mountains and does not show water and brings so many good things. For a moment, he does not know whether to throw the things back in his face, or welcome him in and offer tea to thank him.

"The magistrate Tang is polite."

As Cai Qi spoke, he summoned the long follower, and asked him to find Sun Huai, and claim their luggage and belongings together.

In the end, let the rest of the things be returned and see off the guests with a smile.

"The king of Guangling County felt cold last night and was not feeling well, so he didn't come out to see Tang Magistrate farewell. But he specifically told me to thank Tang Magistrate. When we return to Beijing, we will report to the officials and send someone Come to assist the magistrate in the investigation, please rest assured..."

The magistrate of Tang County didn't see the King of Guangling, and he didn't have the ability to pay filial piety in person. He was originally unwilling, but after hearing Cai Qi's last words, a heart hanging in his throat fell down.

"Then I look forward to the good news..."

He pointed to those filial gifts, "This, this... I hope the young master will accept it."

Cai Qi smiled but said, "We are short-handed. Although the things salvaged by Tangzhi County are good, we didn't drop them. I guess they were left behind by other unlucky merchants when they were robbed. Let's return them."

"But, but..."

Tang Wenshi wanted to say something, but was blocked by Cai Qi.

"Tang magistrate, please go back."

Tang Wenshi led the people away resentfully.

When Sun Huai was cleaning up, he found Xin Yi's cloth bag in a pile of sundries, his eyes lit up, and he picked it up.

……

Xin Yi didn't know what happened outside.

Her legs and feet are useless, and it hurts when she moves. She thought she was unlucky enough, but then she heard that several guards who stayed in the foot shop last night, including Fu Jiuqu, were all sick, so she didn't know whether to laugh or not.

She asked Sun Huai about the symptoms, took his pulse, and asked about other people's conditions. It was confirmed that it was the bowel sounds and diarrhea caused by the cold in the foot shop last night, and the chest was upset and the stomach was distended. , pinellia, licorice, jujube and japonica rice, let people boil a pot of aconite japonica rice soup according to their own method, and let them drink it.

These men are the most impatient to take medicine, but when Xin Yi limped out to check his condition, everyone praised him.

"I have never drank such a delicious medicine, and I can take two more bowls."

Cai Qi doesn't believe in evil, even if he is not sick, let Sheng Lai taste it, and he is full of praise.

"Sister-in-law is very capable, so I have to obey."

Xin Yi smiled with a sense of accomplishment.

She looked around.

All the bags were packed, but Fu Jiuqu was nowhere to be seen.

She lowered her eyebrows again, "Where is the county king? But is he seriously ill?"

Cai Qi hummed, "It's not too bad to be seriously ill, it's probably because my mind went astray..."

Xin Yi couldn't help laughing, "How do you say?"

Cai Qi raised his eyebrows, "He's not going to Shouzhou anymore."

Xin Yi was taken aback.

This was unexpected, but also reasonable.

With such a change in Chen Liu, did the sinking of the ship come from the case Fu Jiuqu investigated, or was it just an accident?

According to Fu Jiuqu's temper, how could he be willing to leave like this?

However, he was originally going to Shouzhou, if he wanted to stay in Chenliu, there must be an explanation, right?

"Is this why you are sick? Is it real or fake?"

Everyone laughed.

"It doesn't matter whether you are sick or not, this is the most delicious japonica rice porridge I've ever had."

Xin Yi: ...

She glanced at the pot of porridge, it was already empty.

Everyone was laughing and talking, but she suddenly pressed her forehead and turned to look for Fu Jiuqu.

Cai Qi chuckled lightly, "Sister-in-law is angry?"

Xin Yi ignored her and went straight over. Cheng Cang was outside Fu Jiuqu's room and saw her cupping her hands, "Miss Zhang, the king is still resting."

Xin Yi: "I want to see him."

Cheng Cang frowned, "The prince is not feeling well, and I won't see anyone today."

Xin Yi: "I'm a doctor, and I happen to be able to treat him."

Cheng Cang: "But..."

Xin Yi snorted, "Don't let me see a doctor, why did you call me out? Then I will go back to Beijing immediately..."

Before she could finish her voice, Fu Jiuqu coughed from inside.

"Let her in."
