Bianjing little doctor

Chapter 109
Fu Jiuqu asked Duan Sui to move the table and chairs to a place near the window, and lazily waited for the food to be served.

This time Sun Huai didn't follow, Duan Sui wasn't so careful, and he didn't pour water for Fu Jiuqu when there was a teapot and teacup on the table, and Xin Yi... sat down opposite Fu Jiuqu, poured a cup of teacup, and sent it straight to the table. into your mouth.

"I ordered Yujing rice, then bean sprouts and green vegetables, no meat dishes. I told the proprietress that you don't want to order too much because you have a lot of food. Besides, we are poor, so we have to look like poor people."

"Food accumulation?" Fu Jiuqu raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah." Xin Yi nodded, "If you eat too much, you will accumulate food."

He eats a lot?Did he eat too much?
Fu Jiuqu rolled his eyes and smiled.

"You really think of me."

Xin Yi blinked, "You are my ninth brother, that's natural."

"Then...you have to worry about Eleventh Sister Lao."

"You're welcome. We are half-brothers and sisters, as we should."

Fu Jiuqu snorted from his nostrils, and looked at the calm young lady with a calm expression on his face, but a faint agitation in his heart.She seemed to have a good handle on everything that came to Yongqiu.

Ferry, hotel, food, familiarity, it seems that there is nothing she does not know, even if the proprietress is abnormal, she can clearly perceive...

No, or earlier, when she woke up after falling into the water in Bianjing, she was already different.

How could a woman from the country know so much, or the woman Liu bought from a man in order to save money as a dowry?
Her actions, like her unknown medical skills, are suspicious.

But there is no way to find out——

The proprietress is not in a good mood, but the business is doing well, and there are few customers in the store. In a short while, the food is ready on the stove. Xin Yi told them to bring it up. When she heard someone knocking on the door, she had a conditioned reflex to go take.

Fu Jiuqu: "Duan Sui."

He stopped Xin Yi with his eyes, "Don't bother if your leg injury is not healed."

Huh?Changed your temper?
Xin Yi and Fu Jiuqu looked at each other, a little frightened by the care, and their scalps were numb.

When the simple food was served, Xin Yi knew that Fu Jiuqu was obsessed with cleanliness, so he specially divided the meals in advance and gave everyone a portion.However, Fu Jiuqu didn't use it very much. Xin Yi glanced at him, bowed his head unceremoniously, and ate, and quickly ate up his portion.

She raised her head again and asked Fu Jiuqu, "Aren't you going to use it?"

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyebrows, and when he was about to speak, Xin Yi picked up the bowl and set aside the rice, "If you don't eat, don't waste it, I'm still growing, so eat more."

Fu Jiuqu: "..."

Cheng Cang came back an hour later. Xin Yi didn't know where he got the news, but he was a little shocked after hearing it.

Not only did Chen Liu catch the bandits, but Yong Qiu also caught the water bandits.

It's just that Chen Liu made a public announcement, causing a big commotion, and wanted to show it to Fu Jiuqu.On the other hand, Yongqiu secretly sent people to arrest the bandits, making small moves secretly.

The husband of the proprietress of Ruyi's family was taken away by the government yesterday, saying that it was related to the Bianhe bandits...

Duan Sui: "Could it be that this is a black shop?"

Xin Yi: "No."

All three looked at her.

"How can you be sure?"

Xin Yi smiled slightly: "Look at the face. The proprietress can't be a bad person at first glance."

Duan Sui's eyebrows were pulled like a bug, "Do you still know how to read faces?"

Xin Yi snorted and rolled his eyes at him, "I can not only read faces, but also tell fortunes."

"..."

The partner came up to collect the bowl, Xin Yi found an excuse, saying that there was a problem with the meal, and asked him to call the proprietress up.

The proprietress was still looking sleepy, and she didn't even have the mind to argue, so she said she wouldn't charge them for the meal.Xin Yi shook his head, glanced at Fu Jiuqu, and said straight to the point:
"Miss Boss, I want to ask you something that was inconvenient to say downstairs before."

The proprietress looked at them in horror.

"Who are you? What do you want to know?"

Xin Yi saw that Fu Jiuqu was quiet and didn't stop himself, so he played freely.

"To tell you the truth, I have an older brother who came to Yongqiu to sell fish last month. Two days ago, someone sent a letter back saying that he was arrested by the government and that he was in collusion with the water pirates in the Bian River... What a shame! , our family has been fishermen for generations, selling fish for a living, how could we do such stealthy things? Our brothers and sisters came to Yongqiu precisely because of this."

As soon as these words came out, the proprietress seemed to have found a confidant, and her eyes were red immediately, "No wonder I said you asked me those things, it's weird, so...you and I are both poor people."

Xin Yi looked at her sympathetically, "Could it be that your family also..."

The proprietress nodded and sadly told what had happened.

She and her husband have been running Ruyi Family for many years. Although the husband and wife have disputes, their lives are peaceful and beautiful. After reorganization every year, there is still a lot of surplus after deducting expenses. They are childish and naughty, but they are good at reading. They are going to ask Mr. Enlightenment, I don't ask him to be famous in the future, but I ask him to know a few more words and not be a blind person...

But ever since Yongqiu changed to Hezhi County, life has become sad.

Originally, the commercial tax of the imperial court was very heavy, with various names. In the hands of this Hezhi County, the tax management was even stricter, and even a monopoly system was implemented. No matter what shop wanted to operate, it had to go to the Yamen to obtain the monopoly right.

That's all, it's nothing more than earning a few less silver, no matter how difficult the life is, you can still make ends meet, and you won't die from starvation.

The bad thing is the appearance of the Biangong Xingbang.

This group was originally just sneaking around and making small troubles, but after they came to Hezhi County, they became extremely rampant.Her family's small foot shop, in addition to the imperial tax and government monopoly fees, must also pay tribute to the Biangong Bank, otherwise the shop will not be able to continue.

"We come to collect filial piety money every month. We managed to save a few, and they took half of it. That's all. These people still treat my shop as their own. They come and live when they want, and they never eat or live. Give money."

"Did you report to the official?" Xin Yi asked.

The proprietress smiled wryly, her face full of sadness.

"If it is useful to report to the officials, how can you have the hardships you have today? In Yongqiu, the officials and bandits belong to the same family. Report to the officials at the front, and the yamen arresters come to investigate with a bluff, and the bastards from the gang behind come and beat you up. store, taking revenge on your family, leaving you nowhere to live...Which one dares to report to the officials, dare to fight against them? You can only bear it if you suffer a loss."

Xin Yi glanced at Fu Jiuqu.

"Is it true that there is no king's law?"

The proprietress sneered, "Wang Fa? How do you know that the county is Wang Fa, and Wan Liyu, the boss of the Biangong Gang, is Wang Fa?"

"Wan carp?"

"Yes. Anyone who does business in Yongqiu knows all about carp." Speaking of this, the proprietress paused and gritted her teeth suddenly, as if extremely annoyed.

"Originally, these things, we just endured and passed. The little people can't do it against them. No matter how greedy they are, they can't starve the people to death. Without the people, who will pay them tribute? The bad thing is that. Prince Guangling..."

Duan Sui exclaimed in shock: "Guangling County King?"

Xin Yi felt that he couldn't control his expression too much, so he raised his head and stared at him, Duan Sui smacked his lips and stopped talking, Xin Yi then asked the proprietress, "The king of the county is a nobleman in Beijing, could it be that he also colluded with the bandits?"

Fu Jiuqu's eyes were slightly cold, and he gave her a sideways glance.

Xin Yi sat firmly and couldn't see him.

The proprietress sighed: "You come from other places, so you don't know something. During the New Year's Eve, the Guangling County King was blown to Yongqiu by some wind. Wan Liyu also didn't wink, and even robbed the Guangling County King... Who is the king of the county? If he survived by chance, why not turn Chen Liu and Yongqiu upside down?"

Dare to feel all because of Fu Jiuqu's fault in investigating the case?
Xin Yi pursed his lips and remained silent, Fu Jiuqu was also calm, but Duan Sui's eyes were not good.

"Isn't that also venting your anger for the people?"

The proprietress said: "When the gods fight, we are the mortals who suffer. The county king wants to arrest people to vent his anger, so why does the county have to find a few scapegoats to relieve the disaster... I heard that even the county magistrate was tied up and taken to Guangling County In front of the king, but the county king still doesn’t let go.”

She sighed again: "The king of the county is not satisfied, how do you know what the county should do? He went crazy as soon as he returned to Yongqiu and started catching bandits. Who knows how he and Wan Liyu talked about it, but they turned their faces and turned the table over In the past two days, people from the yamen have been arresting Biangong gangs everywhere...that's how I was implicated as the head of the family."

When Xin Yi heard this, he already had a plan in his heart.

In order to prevent the proprietress from talking to herself, she still asked a question.

"What does it have to do with your family?"

The proprietress lowered her head and wiped her tears, "As I said just now, the bastards in Bianjing often regard my shop as their own, eating, living, coming and going freely... We were oppressed and helpless, the yamen said in a daze that my house was harboring thieves and thieves. , and took my master away."

Xin Yi: "It's too unreasonable. Have you ever thought about going to Bianjing and suing the imperial court?"

The proprietress shook her head, "An elbow can't twist a thigh. How do you know that there is someone in the county capital? Her aunt is a lady in the palace, and she sleeps in the same bed with the official. Do you think the official listens to us, or to her ears?"
