Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 167 Cao Cao’s group is the most efficient

Um?Magistrate Cao and others have returned?

Liu Bian blinked and felt that he had heard wrongly: Under normal circumstances, shouldn't it be Magistrate Shi who is coming back? ——After all, as the county magistrate of Nanpi, it is easier and faster for Shi Yue to communicate with Liu Bian?

"Is Magistrate Cao really here?" Liu Bian frowned, "Where is he?"

He Xian said: "Just...just outside the study."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Liu Bian pressed the case lightly, "Invite people in quickly."

He Xian clasped his fists and retreated, while Gongsun Yue retreated behind Liu Bian.

When I was young, I saw Cao Cao, Cao Ang and two old doctors coming, and they bowed to Liu Bian in a polite manner.

Liu Bian did not dare to neglect the two old doctors, so he ordered people to bring in chairs for the two old doctors to sit and rest.

Let's look at Cao Cao and others, all of them are busy in the world, it can be seen that they have suffered a lot!especially……

Liu Bian stared at Cao Ang, who kept his head bowed, with black lines on his head: Cao Ang, Cao Ang, I asked you to secretly investigate the public sentiment in Dongguang County, not with your father... Have you misunderstood me? What do you mean?

Liu Bian was speechless.

Seemingly understanding Liu Bian's thoughts, Cao Cao glanced at Cao Ang, who was silent, and said to Liu Bian: "My lord, don't blame Ang'er...it's all Ang'er who came late!"

what?
Liu Bian opened his mouth wide and looked confused.

Cao Ang bowed his head, took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I... I'm a step late! As soon as I arrived in Dongguang County, my father solved the problem of abnormal meat jerky."

Liu Bian: "..."

what? !

So fast?
Liu Bian stared at Cao Cao in shock, and could only express admiration at Cao Cao's quick action.

So, just when Cao Ang wanted to check the attitude of the people in Dongguang County towards Cao Cao's every move, he was caught by Cao Cao, right?Then again, how did you complete your mission, Cao Cao? ...After calming down, Liu Bian said:
"So, Magistrate Mengde, what did you gain?"

Cao Cao cupped his hands and said: "My lord, thanks to the help of two doctors, I found 47 portions of dried meat, all packed in beautiful wooden boxes! The other three portions...the other three portions were eaten by others.

Because of this, three patients in Dongguang County also died of the disease one after another!
There are currently no infected people in Dongguang County, but they have not appeared for the time being!
I don't know whether Dongguang County has been... In short, this is my negligence. Please punish me severely! "

Liu argued: "Magistrate Mengde has no merit, but hard work. How can I ignore everything you have done, Magistrate Mengde, and punish you willfully? You have done a good job, and I am very satisfied." , don’t mention the heavy punishment.”

Cao Cao said gratefully: "Thank you, Lord."

Liu Bian said: "By the way, what about the dried meat? How did you handle it? Did you bring it back?"

Cao Cao hesitated and said, "I wanted to take them back, but the two doctors said no. They were afraid that the meat would cause trouble, so they set a fire, burned all the meat, and buried it together with the wooden box! The doctor said that the wood The box may be contaminated with unclean things, so don’t leave it behind.”

Cao Cao felt ashamed and said: "I didn't bring anything with me, so I can't believe what I said..."

"Don't worry, Magistrate Mengde. This is the right thing to do!" Liu Bian comforted Cao Cao instead, "Since these dried meats can easily cause diseases, they shouldn't be kept! If you bring them here and they infect you, What should we do?”

Liu Bian took a step back, then became alert and said, "Magistrate Mengde, could you...?"

"Ah?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized what His Highness was referring to.His expression calmed down, and Cao Cao hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, my lord! I, Cao, don't have any disease - the collection of dried meats is left to a group of soldiers; the identification of dried meats depends on two doctors! In the final analysis, ..."

Cao Cao paused, with a trace of confusion on his face, and quickly stood in front of the two doctors to prevent Liu Bian from approaching them.Cao Cao cupped his hands and said:

"Lord! I'm sorry..."

"County Magistrate Cao, this disease is infected very quickly and will occur within a day! You and I have been together for three days. If we really got infected, the disease would have already occurred, so why wait until today?" An old doctor slowly said. .

The implication: Cao Cao and others are not sick!Very healthy.

Cao Cao's old face turned red and he said to the two old doctors: "This... alas! It's Cao who is anxious."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." The two old doctors laughed, "It's human nature for Magistrate Cao to care about His Highness. It's no big deal."

Cao Cao bowed his hand and said no more.

Liu Bian was so pleased that he looked at the two old doctors again and stood up in unison.Liu Bian motioned for the other party to sit down, no need to be formal, and said: "Two doctors, you have worked hard! I would like to thank you!"

Liu Bian greeted the two old doctors generously.

The other person was so frightened that he stood up again.

Liu Bian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and silently reviewed whether he had added psychological pressure to the other party.With a smile on his lips, Liu Bian said: "In short, you have worked hard and your merits are great. I will not treat you badly! Someone..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open. Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi ran in one after another, shouting: "Your Highness! My father... I mean, the Chonghe County Magistrate is about to complete your orders, Your Highness." !”

"Your Highness, even though the county magistrate has not given the task to Zhuge County Magistrate, he has caused chaos in the county town!"

"Your Highness, you are so abrupt! These two boys Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi——"

After Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi talked quickly, Liu Bian had no time to respond, but when he saw He Xiancai, he rushed out and clasped his fists in embarrassment.

Liu Bian: "..."

Without looking back, Liu Bian could feel Cao Cao's gaze: This is embarrassing!He secretly sent people to follow the actions of the county magistrates, and he was probably accidentally given to Cao Cao...

But Cao Cao was silent.

Liu Bian quickly collected his thoughts, stared at Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, and scolded: "What kind of behavior is it to shout and yell?"

After opening their mouths, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi silently glanced at Cao Cao's presence, and both closed their mouths, feeling very annoyed.

"Don't back down yet." Liu Bian scolded him and said, "Go and tell Magistrate Chonghe and Magistrate Xiu that the Dongguang County Magistrate has completed his mission and returned to his post. What are those two magistrates doing?"

Since Cao Cao already knew, there was no need to hide it.

Huh? !

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi both opened their eyes wide and looked at Cao Cao in surprise. Then they felt rude and looked away.

"Here!" Fortunately, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi didn't lose their grip and followed the order.

Watching Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi's resignation, Liu Bian said to Cao Cao, "I'm just kidding, my lord..."

Before he finished speaking, Zeng Aniu's voice sounded again, saying:
"Your Highness! Nanpi County is fine! I went home last night. My grandfather wanted to see you, Your Highness. Could you please come to my house?"

Liu Bian sighed: It seems that he is destined not to be able to say "reward the two veteran doctors" today?Rubbing his forehead, Liu Bian ignored Cao Cao's strange expression and asked, "Please go into the room and talk."

"No, no!" Zeng Aniu shouted outside, "Although I don't have any disease, my grandfather said that I must eat those dumplings to be safe and qualified to meet His Highness... My grandfather There is a way to "prevent" the occurrence of that disease, so I want to meet His Highness! "

Liu Bian took a breath, and was so excited that he shouted: "Really?! I am free at any time, when will I come to your house?"

"...now?" Zeng Aniu asked hesitantly.

Liu Bian patted the case and said, "Okay! Let's set off immediately!"

Turning around, Liu Bian said to the two old doctors who were already nervous in the room: "I am sending you home just in time... Don't think too much, I am fine and will not hold you accountable."

You should know what I am referring to.

The two old doctors seemed to understand what Liu Bian was referring to, and their faces were filled with gratitude.

——I don’t know who is thanking whom: You two helped me remove part of the crisis in Bohai County, but you are afraid of implicating me because you haven’t “sterilized” yourself... Sigh!

Shaking his head, Liu Bian said: "Let's go! Let's leave the house."

"Here." Cao Cao said.

By the way, command everyone to prepare a carriage.

Cao Cao seemed to be unafraid of being bitten by lice, and his mentality was extremely strong. He calmly stayed by Liu Bian's side and took care of everything for Liu Bian.

Of course, Cao Cao also tried to reduce Liu Bian's contact with doctors.

Therefore, by the time Liu Bian got into the carriage, Liu Bian had not spoken to many people.

As for the two old doctors, plus Zeng Aniu, they rode in another carriage and followed Liu Bian's carriage.

Liu Bian heard with sharp ears that when Zeng Aniu wanted to sit in the same car with the two old doctors, he almost screamed, "No! These two people have never eaten dumplings, so they are sick." ——”

"What did you say?" From a distance, Liu Bian could still hear the two doctors smiling ferociously at Zeng Aniu, "Don't think that you are Zeng Aniu's grandson. I will let you go...Don't forget that I am Zeng Aniu." Your elder, brat!"

With a smile on his lips, Liu Bian sat quietly in the car.

Therefore, Liu Bian unfortunately missed the report from the remaining four guards——

The four guards rushed to the study. Looking at the empty study, their serious features were about to burst...

"What should I do?" Gongsun Fan went crazy, "Where is Your Highness? Where is Your Highness? That boy Ayue is not there either!"

"The guards are not here either?" The other three older middle-aged men frowned, "Could it be that the carriage we just saw was His Highness and the others...?"

"Eighty percent yes!" Gongsun Fan gritted his teeth and sulked, "It's one step too late! It's just one step too late!"

The three older middle-aged men looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What's wrong? Which county are you in charge of?" a middle-aged man asked, "Is the situation serious?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Gongsun Fan waved his hand, "Unexpectedly, it went well. In two or three days, we will be able to buy back all the dried meats in Zhangwu County! At that time, we will let the doctors check it. I believe it will be very soon." Results will be available soon!”

"What? Is this smooth?" The middle-aged man almost choked, "Isn't this too slow? Do you know the situation in Fuyang County? The Fuyang County Magistrate has solved the problem of the quality of dried meat long ago. The problem is, if Magistrate Gaocheng and Magistrate Yangxin were not too procrastinating in doing things, and Magistrate Fuyang couldn’t bear the misfortune of his adopted brothers, Magistrate Fuyang would have returned to Nanpi long ago!"

After saying that, the middle-aged man glanced at the other two middle-aged men.

He glanced at the other two middle-aged men and made them lower their heads. Not to mention how embarrassing it was.

Seeing this, Gongsun Fan smiled dryly and suggested dryly: "His Highness is not here, let's go back quickly? Don't we miss anything?"

After saying this, Gongsun Fan took out a document from his arms, which seemed to be a report document, and put it in the corner of the desk.

The three middle-aged men paused and said frantically: "We... we can't read!"

"Nothing, nothing." Gongsun Fan opened his report document, dipped his pen in ink, and smiled at the three middle-aged men, "If you don't mind, can I report it for you?"

The three middle-aged men were dumbfounded and stammered: "This! This is also okay?"

"What's the big deal?" As the younger brother of General Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, Gongsun Fan was very calm and thought it was a trivial matter. "Tell me? What's the situation over there?"

The three middle-aged men looked at each other, thought for a moment, and then said one after another——

The first middle-aged man said: "I am responsible for supervising the Fuyang County Magistrate! Magistrate Liu is reliable in his work. Not only did he make public announcements, but he also sent staff to fully take care of the two old doctors, who voluntarily stayed up late to check the dried meat. Is it abnormal? It only took two days and two nights to find forty portions of dried meat - the wooden box is also beautiful!
It is a pity that six people died of diseases caused by eating dried meat, and the remaining four were infected with some kind of cold and are now unconscious and lying in a medicine shop in Fuyang County... Magistrate Liu was helpless about this, and he heard that Gaocheng The county magistrate and the county magistrate Yangxin were so busy that they wanted to help each other!
Before I returned to Nanpi County, Magistrate Liu set off for Gaocheng County.

Should I go back to Fuyang County?Or Gaocheng County? "

The second middle-aged man said: "Great! Is Magistrate Liu coming to Gaocheng County? - I am responsible for supervising Magistrate Gaocheng! Magistrate Guan doesn't know how to check for dried meat at all! No announcement was made, and three days were wasted. God knows, the amount of dried meat recovered is not much at all!"

The third middle-aged man said: "You are luckier than me. Although Magistrate Guan doesn't know how to detect dried meat, at least he didn't mess around? - I was responsible for supervising Magistrate Yangxin, but unfortunately he was discovered and arrested by Magistrate Yangxin. Yes, the magistrate of Yangxin judged it to be a meticulous work, and was whipped by the magistrate of Yangxin! Look, look..."

The third middle-aged man rolled up his sleeves, revealing two arms with whip marks and said with a bitter face: "Alas! The Yangxin County Magistrate is so cruel! He did not issue a notice, but led people to search from house to house. , whenever there is dried meat in the house, the Yangxin County Magistrate will immediately glare and arrest the person...

Then, the dried meat was handed over to two doctors for identification!If it is good, the Yangxin County Magistrate will apologize with a smile; if it is not good, the Yangxin County Magistrate will tie the person up immediately!
Nowadays, people in Yangxin County do not dare to store dried meat, and they have all been lost!
When I fled back to Nanpi County, I didn’t even know if the Yangxin County Magistrate had picked up the preserved meat for verification! "

Hearing this, Gongsun Fan said: "..."

"It's so miserable! It's so miserable for you two!" Gongsun Fan showed sympathy in his eyes, and with a swipe of his pen, he briefly mentioned what the three middle-aged men said, and finally showed it to the three middle-aged men.

The three middle-aged men were all embarrassed: What's the use of reading this for us illiterate people?

Patting his head, Gongsun Fan apologized and said: "Don't worry, I didn't write anything. I just briefly wrote down the experiences you mentioned, and please don't be angry, Your Highness."

The three middle-aged men asked in surprise: "Your Highness will be angry?"

"No, no." Gongsun Fan waved his hand, indicating that it was time for the three middle-aged men to leave the study. "Anyway, after the report is over, it's time for us to return to our posts... continue to supervise."

Supervise... Supervise?
The three middle-aged men remembered their respective experiences with very delicate emotions.

Finally, Gongsun Fan left an extended report document and said goodbye to the three middle-aged men in a hurry.

With the clatter of horseshoes, Liu Bian and his party arrived at Zeng Aniu's residence.

An exquisite mansion comparable to a small village.

Ah!
How long has it been since we last met? Zeng Aniu, is your family already so well off?
