Noble First Daughter-in-law

Daxing City, under Mingde's sect.

The city gate is still tightly closed, but it is different from the usual situation where no one enters or exits, and there is no sound. At this moment, under Mingde's gate, a group of left guards stepped forward with orderly and heavy steps, taking the place of the guards.

They built a long pergola in front of the city gate, and placed more than a dozen tables and stools under the pergola, arranged in two rows, leaving a distance of more than ten feet in the middle.

These tables and chairs are prepared for the medical officers of the Imperial Medical Office. After a while, these people will obey the orders of the Prime Minister and come here for consultation and judge the 320 patients in the list presented by Yanzuofang. Whether it has been cured, you can go out of the city and go home; and the distance of more than ten feet in the middle is for the patients to pass through.

This passage leads directly to Mingde Gate.

Such a fanfare arrangement naturally alarmed many people on both sides. These people opened the doors and windows one after another, looked out, and saw the city gate like this, they were all very suspicious.

Some people also whispered——

"What is this for?"

"I heard from them just now that they seem to be planning to release some sick people out of the city. Most of them have been cured at Yanzuofang."

"So powerful? I heard that Yan Zuo Fang seems to be managed by Prince Yuwen."

"Isn't that right, this eldest son is really kind-hearted. I heard before that there is a penny and a bowl of medicine in Changlefang, but he doesn't take a cent for the medicine; now, the patients there don't spend a penny. , cured so much."

"Sure enough, the eldest son is better."

"So, that Second Young Master is probably—"

These low voices of discussion also followed the gusts of breeze, blowing to the second floor of a restaurant facing the street not far from Mingde Gate.

This restaurant has been out of business for several days, and it is almost unbearable, but today, a few guests came inexplicably. Many people bravely came to watch the excitement, and there were more and more people, but there was a bit of excitement in the past.

But all the bustle, blowing to the window of the private room on the second floor facing the street, became quiet again.

Shang Ruyi was sitting in the private room, listening to the whispered words of the people standing beside her, while inadvertently looking at the street through a gap in the window. The soldier ran over and said a few words in a hurry, apparently to prepare to meet the dozen or so medical officers from the Imperial Medical Office.

It was almost three o'clock.

At this time, the deep voices in the ear also ended, and although Shang Ruyi's expression remained unchanged, her breath was still disturbed for a moment, she was silent for a while, and then looked up at the people around her: "Is this what you heard when you went back? "

"Yes."

It was none other than her subordinate Jiang Kesheng who responded to her.

After leaving Tongguan to buy the batch of medicine, Jiang Kesheng took a rest for a while, but he didn't rest for two days. As soon as Shang Ruyi came back, he encountered the plague in Daxing City, and Jiang Kesheng was sent out by her again.Only this time, there is no important task, but to inquire about some news.

But he didn't return to the city until today, when the city gate was opened at noon.

After Jiang Kesheng finished speaking, he thought about it again, and said in a low voice: "Because of the special situation in Luoyang, the subordinates are worried about revealing their whereabouts, so they dare not make too much noise. These news——"

Shang Ruyi immediately said: "Needless to say, I understand."

"..."

"I asked you to go back and inquire about the news. The premise is that you do what you can, and you don't have to force it."

As she said that, she stretched out her hand to pick up a glass of wine on the table in front of her, looked at the swaying inside, and saw the layers of sparkling light, her eyes also flickered, and said softly: "Besides, the news is enough."

Jiang Kesheng opened his eyes slightly.

He was obviously a little puzzled and wanted to ask questions, but after all, this is the master's business. Although having no eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue, body and mind is a Buddhist practice, it is also a necessary condition for a subordinate. See, he just has to do things right.

So he suppressed the curiosity in his heart and said softly: "Then, this subordinate will leave."

Shang Ruyi nodded, smiled and said: "You have worked hard this trip, go back and rest first.

"Yes."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Kesheng saluted, nodded to Wo Xue and Tu Sheer who were standing behind Shang Ruyi, then turned around and left the private room. After a while, the sound of him going down the stairs was heard outside.

As soon as Jiang Kesheng left, Tusheer couldn't hold back and said, "No wonder we couldn't find him not long after we came back from Fufeng. It turns out that the lady sent him out again. But Miss, why did you ask Brother Jiang to check those things?" What's the matter? Besides, should we go back to Banyan Temple?"

Before she finished speaking, Shang Ruyi turned her head and glared at her.

Tusheer was stared at by her, and subconsciously closed her mouth, but the curiosity in her eyes couldn't be restrained, and kept flickering.Seeing her desperate look, Shang Ruyi shook her head helplessly, and said, "Then why do you say?"

Tusher shook his head.

But after she shook her head, she also thought about it, and said softly: "Banyan Temple, after the young lady got married, the official wife died of illness, so she was sent to Banyan Temple."

"..."

"Also, Miss and Uncle also went to Banyan Temple to pay homage later."

"..."

"But what does this have to do with that Yu?"

Shang Ruyi looked at her, and said with a faint smile: "That's all you remember?"

Tusheer blinked her eyes, her eyes became more dazed, she looked at the roof and bit her finger and thought for a long time before saying, "Your servant really can't remember."

Wo Xue on the side also said softly: "Yes, Young Madam, after we returned to Luoyang, didn't we only visit these few times?"

Shang Ruyi glanced at her, then at Tusheer who was still thinking hard, smiled wryly and shook her head, and was about to say something, but heard footsteps outside again, it was the shop waiter leading someone to the second floor again. Upstairs, he opened the door of the private room next to him and welcomed him in.

It seems that they are people who came to watch the fun again.

At this time, there were already many noisy voices from up and down the restaurant, but everyone's eyes and attention were focused on the Mingde Gate below. When Shang Ruyi looked down again, the guards at the gate had already put everything under control Ready, several familiar figures appeared at the gate of the city.

The leader is the imperial physician Ling Lin Shi'an.

Behind him were several other medical supervisors and physicians. Among them, Shang Ruyi also saw Wu Zanzhi and others.

They had obviously received orders from Duke Sheng, and changed from the scribbled and plain clothes they used to wear in Yanzuo Square and Changle Square to official clothes, and walked slowly to the pergola outside the city gate. Next, sit down one by one.

As soon as they sat down, the Zuo Xiaowei army began to drive away some people standing on the street to watch the excitement.

After a while, the street was deserted.

Then, a group of people ran to the side, and faintly heard the noise of people in the direction they were going, and about a quarter of an hour later, a sound of dull footsteps gradually came out.

Shang Ruyi turned to look at the window. It was a cured patient from 320, led by a team of guards, slowly walking towards Mingde Gate.

These people have gone through ten days of pain and suffering, all of them are pale and emaciated, but after all, their bodies have recovered at this moment, especially when they walk on the street, they can see the city gate in front of them as soon as they look up, which leads to their home In the direction, each face showed a look of joy.

This kind of vitality made this group of people who looked gloomy and dilapidated like dolls come alive immediately.

They subconsciously quickened their pace and walked to the city gate in a short while.

At this time, a person came out from the team.

From the very beginning, Shang Ruyi's gaze was focused on him. Although the long street was already crowded with people, his tall figure and handsome demeanor still stood out from the crowd, even though his face was still covered with a veil. His clear and wonderful eyes are enough for people to recognize his identity.

It was Yu Wenjian.

He walked to the front of the line and said a few more words to the patients. Although he was still a little far away and couldn't hear what he was saying, he immediately saw the patients nodding their heads and forming a line. The long line went to the arbor one by one.

The first person in line was a middle-aged woman.

She was wearing a gray sarong, holding a booklet in her hand, her complexion was a little gray, but her eyes were extraordinarily bright, she walked forward full of expectation, and knelt down in front of the first low table.

Behind the low table was Wu Zanzhi, the medical supervisor of the imperial medical department.

He politely asked the woman to put her hands on the table, checked her pulse, and then asked her to open her mouth, look at her tongue coating, and then rolled her eyelids.

Finally, he took the booklet from the woman, drew a line on it with a pen, and then made a gesture of invitation to the woman.

A smile appeared on the woman's face immediately, she nodded her thanks hurriedly, took back the booklet, got up and bowed to Wu Zanzhi, then walked to the next low table and sat down Yizheng, like Wu Zanzhi, checked the pulse, looked at the eyelids and tongue coating, and after checking everything, he took the booklet, added a vertical line under Wu Zanzhi's horizontal brush, and then raised his hand to signal the woman to go down. Walk.

Along the way, more than a dozen medical officers from Tai Hospital checked one after another, and there was no problem at all.

On the booklet, a few orthographic characters were also left.

Finally, the woman walked up to Lin Shian.

Although Lin Shi'an was an imperial physician, he didn't dare to be negligent in the face of such ordinary people at this time. After careful inspection, he confirmed that the plague on his body had been cured, then turned his head and nodded to the soldiers guarding the city gate.

Immediately, someone shouted loudly: "Open the city gate—!"

As soon as the words fell, the heavy door bolt was removed, and several soldiers immediately stepped forward, slowly pushing the huge city gate open, and a beam of light shone on everyone at the gate, shining even brighter. It lit up the expectant eyes on the woman's ashen face.

She was surprised and delighted, as if a ghost who had been trekking in hell for many years had finally found a way out.

She was about to go out immediately, but she stopped when she reached the gate of the city, turned around and looked at the medical officers, and Yu Wenquan standing by the roadside, although she was still masked, she showed a pair of gentle and clear eyes. , suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to them repeatedly.

Yu Wenzhen said something to the people around him, and an attendant walked over immediately, helped the woman up, and sent her out of the city gate.

Seeing her leave, everyone around cheered.

Even when Shang Ruyi heard Tusheer and Wo Xue who were behind her, she couldn't help but let out a soft sigh—although the two sides were regarded as "hostile" and might cure the patient, from the bottom of their hearts, they would still do it for them. Those innocent suffering people were happy, so even if they didn't want to, they subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and in the restaurant where they were, there were countless laughter and emotions from up and down, and some people praised Said: "Okay, great!"

"Yes, Mr. Yuwen saved everyone's lives!"

"Elder Prince Yuwen still manages well!"

"If it weren't for Mr. Yuwen, how could these people save their lives? Even if they survived, they would have to be stripped of their skin."

Speaking of the last sentence, everyone seemed to have some chance, and they all became quiet one after another, and stopped talking, but the weird atmosphere in the air lingered in everyone's heart.

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but frown slightly between her brows.

But she didn't say much, just listening to someone ordering food and asking for wine in the private room next to her. Like the woman who finally walked out of Daxing City and was about to go home, she seemed to finally see the light.

And looking at the gate of the city, following behind the woman, the other patients were also overjoyed at this moment, and they couldn't wait to move forward.

The medical officers of the Tai Medical Department also began to diagnose these patients in an orderly manner.

Therefore, these patients lined up and went forward one by one. After being confirmed that the disease on their bodies had been cured and there was no possibility of spreading the plague, they led the pamphlet with several orthographic characters and walked out of the city gate.

One by one, the number of people is slowly decreasing.

What Shang Ruyi could see more clearly was the deep and black shadows of those people stepping on their feet, elongating bit by bit, as the sun slowly tilted westward, it was almost evening.

Wo Xue looked up at the sky, then lowered her head and said softly to Shang Ruyi: "Young Madam, I said earlier that the person from Taiyuan will leave the city to rush back this evening, right?"

Shang Ruyi nodded silently.

Wo Xue said: "Then now—"

Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a crisp sound of horseshoes on the long street, and the originally noisy city gate became quiet, and many people turned their heads to look.

I saw a rider and horse galloping hurriedly from the north of the long street. When approaching Mingde Gate, he reined in and slowed down the horse. Shang Ruyi recognized Song Shiyan at a glance.

He really wants to go back.

At this time, someone from the imperial guards guarding the gate of the city stepped forward to stop him. Song Shiyan immediately took out a token from his bosom. It was obviously given to him by Duke Sheng, allowing him to leave the city. The imperial guards saw it , waved immediately, ready to let go.

Shang Ruyi stood up, staring at Song Shiyan with burning eyes.

He is still alone.

He didn't carry any rucksacks on his horse, and he didn't carry any baggage on him.

So, no one really gave him medicine?

that--

Just as Song Shiyan was about to ride his horse and walk past the group of patients and medical officers with an anxious but disappointed expression, suddenly, a person stepped out from the crowd and stopped him.
