Song Yi

Chapter 348
Ye Zhao whispered to Du Wenhao: "In the past few days, the whole process of the dog's medicine has been done by the lower official himself, and he will never give it to others. Even his own mother and Zhuo Jing are not allowed in."

Du Wenhao looked back and saw Lin'er's mother-in-law, the third concubine Liang Shi, standing outside the yard, watching Lin'er play from a distance, with a smile on her lips.

Seeing Du Wenhao coming, Lin'er ran over happily, and took Du Wenhao's hand affectionately: "Uncle, Lin'er dreamed of you last night."

Du Wenhao touched his hand which was not as cold as before. He touched his forehead and found that his body temperature had returned to normal. He said, "I heard that you have an appetite to eat now?"

Lin'er: "Well, but as long as I eat porridge and noodles, it's always better to say something lighter."

Du Wenhao: "Your father is right, when you are completely cured, you can eat anything."

Du Wenhao held Lin'er's hand and was about to enter the house, Lin'er said embarrassedly: "Uncle, you better not go in, the room is very smelly, and the maids even put herbs to smoke, you still stay in the gazebo Sit down."

Du Wenhao frowned and said, "Why, is there still pus and blood in the stool?"

Lin'er giggled: "No, it's the smell of poop from before."

Du Wenhao smiled.Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a noise outside the courtyard.Looking back, I saw that Ye Zhao's original wife had arrived at some point and was fighting with the three concubines.The third concubine covered her cheeks with her hands, her eyes were filled with tears, and she hid in the corner of the wall tremblingly without making a sound.

Ye Zhao hurriedly confessed to Du Wenhao, ran over in a hurry, and tore away his original partner Ziyu: "What are you crazy about? There are distinguished guests at home, don't you feel ashamed like this?"

Ziyu didn't care about this, she cast a sideways glance at Du Wenhao, and said sharply: "This damn woman is shameless, she's just a stinky maid, she dared to seduce my husband, and even threw the child in my belly away. Just now And instead of driving her away, you pity her like a treasure, you can all be so shameless, what am I afraid of?"

Ye Zhao was so angry that his face turned blue, but he couldn't get angry in front of Du Wenhao, so he had to order the servants on the side to take Ziyu away, but Ziyu, the original partner, refused, crying and sternly saying: "My lord, you don't care about this matter." No matter, I..., I can't go on with this day anyway, everyone breaks up! I'll ask the imperial doctor to help me sue the imperial court! After causing such a big disaster, everyone is dead anyway, die early and reincarnate early ...!—My lord physician! My lord physician!"

The original partner Ziyu rushed in, and Ye Zhao finally got angry: "Are you crazy? Get out yet!"

Several servants hurriedly dragged Ziyu away.

Ye Zhao walked up to the third concubine Liang Ruoxian, took her hand gently, and saw that there were red fingerprints on both cheeks, Ye Zhao couldn't bear it, and carefully held her face, and said softly: " It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let you stand outside, go in."

Liang Ruoxian: "No, master, if I go in and Madam has something to say, I'll just stand outside and wait for you."

Ye Zhao came back and bowed to Du Wenhao: "I made the imperial doctor laugh."

Du Wenhao had been staring at the back of his original partner, Ziyu, in a daze just now, wondering what he was thinking.Ye Zhao's face was uncertain, and he raised his voice and said something, and Du Wenhao came back to his senses: "Oh, it's okay. The restlessness in the backyard is indeed a headache."

Ye Zhao smiled wryly and said: "Yes, Xiaguan really has a headache. Zhuojing has no children, and the three children of the second wife are afraid of her and never get close to her. The third concubine Ruoxian loves her so Lin'er often goes to accompany her. Looking at her, but after a long time, she didn't let Lin'er see her own mother, after all, she was her own, how could the third concubine be willing, every time I see her sad, I feel bad."

Du Wenhao: "Lin'er has no serious problems, and the effect is not changed. If you continue to take the previous medicine for another seven days, it will be almost healed."

Ye Zhao thanked him, and brought Du Wenhao to Ye Feng's room for a follow-up consultation.

The sores on Ye Feng's face have obviously improved, and the sores treated by the last operation have begun to heal. Ye Feng is very happy and hastily thanked Du Wenhao.

After the follow-up consultation, Du Wenhao said goodbye, and left Ye Mansion in a carriage.

On the way, Lin Qingdai saw that he had been meditating, she was a little strange, and asked, "Hey, why are you so stupid after the follow-up visit?"

Du Wenhao sighed, and said in a low voice: "That Lin'er's illness is actually man-made!"

"Ah? Is it the poison from the original partner?"

"Well, Lin'er is just food accumulation. The medicine prescribed by the previous doctor was fine, but it didn't improve, and it turned into pus and blood. I was suspicious at the time, but it was hard to say, so I used the excuse that women can't touch the child's body. I asked Tuan Lian to choose and take the medicine for the child. After a few days, it really healed, which showed that my speculation was correct. But I don’t know why the original partner poisoned the child.”

"I think that although Lin'er treats his original partner well on the surface, in fact he is toward his mother in his heart, maybe the original partner has seen it and resented him, so she poisoned him, but she didn't want his life, she just wanted to vent her anger. "

"Your analysis is very reasonable." Du Wenhao praised, "I can't see it, you are calm-headed, daring to do something, and you are not procrastinating in what you are sure of. You are really a heroine."

Lin Qingdai smiled embarrassingly: "How can you praise your woman like this, and you won't be afraid of people hearing the joke!"

"My woman is excellent, of course I have to boast." Du Wenhao laughed, and then fell into deep thought again.

Lin Qingdai wondered again: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

"Your eyes are really poisonous, nothing can escape your eyes. Hehe, yes, the original partner Ziyu said a few words when she left, which made people listen to it strangely."

"What did she say?"

"I can't remember the original words. It seems that I caused this catastrophe, and everyone is going to die anyway. She also said that she would ask me to help you sue the imperial court. —— She said this catastrophe, what exactly is it?"

"This..., is it related to the White Clothes Society?"

"You, don't rely on the White Clothes Club for everything, okay? He is a regiment training envoy, what do you do in the White Clothes Club?"

"Don't forget, the county magistrate Wu said, and the official documents of the court said that this time, several high-ranking officials of the court were involved in the case of the White Clothes Club and were thrown into prison, let alone a small group of him."

"That's true, forget it, let him alone!"

"You are here again!" Lin Qingdai said in a low voice: "Since you have chosen the path of being an enemy of the White Clothes Society, you can no longer be half-hearted and have to go all the way to the dark! You must take the initiative to look for opportunities to fight and strive for meritorious service!"

Du Wenhao smiled wryly: "To be honest, I really don't want to get involved in this matter."

"No one wants to get involved in this kind of trouble, but we are already deeply involved. If we want to protect ourselves, this is the only way."

"In your opinion?"

"As long as you have any doubts, you must monitor it——send someone to monitor the Ye Mansion. You must try to get in touch with that original wife, Ziyu, and listen to what she wants to tell you!"

"This one……"

"This is a life-and-death struggle, there can be no hesitation!"

Du Wenhao nodded, and smiled at Lin Qingdai: "You are more suitable for politics than me. The emperor finally gave me a poor official, and let me mess it up."

Lin Qingdai said: "Actually, you are a good official. If you really become a high official, that is the blessing of the common people. There are too few officials in the imperial court who can consider the common people."

"However, what the imperial court needs is not good officials, but obedient officials, officials who are easy to manage, and officials who will flatter and flatter. To be a good official, intrigue and gang formation are essential. If you don't act against your conscience, you can't help it. You will be punished!"

"You are too extreme. From my point of view, many good officials in history were neither intriguing nor flattering, and they also became high-ranking officials."

"You're right. It's just like Wang Anshi, the prime minister of the dynasty. He is really honest and upright. He is so poor that he even borrowed money for his son's medical treatment. The law of the people, but we have to admit that he is a good official who thinks about the people, but he is too sharp and doesn't know how to compromise, otherwise, his reform should not be like this."

"That's right, so whether you can be a good official has little to do with whether you are upright and kind. It cannot be said that an upright and kind person cannot be a high-ranking official and a good official. Isn't it true that the entire court is full of traitors and thieves? The emperor Don't do it, the country and society have already collapsed."

"You are right. You should be sure that the mainstream is good. Most officials still have a heart for the people, and they are kind and upright. After all, all officials have studied sage books for ten years. , there is no moral problem, after all, there are only a few corrupt officials who flatter and fight for power and profit. Otherwise, as you said, the country would not be a country long ago.”

"Yeah, so, don't be discouraged, the emperor is still very good to you, as long as you show your ability, the emperor will not turn a blind eye to those who have the ability to govern the country, rich country and strong army, after all, it is of great importance to his country and society. Benefits, who wouldn't do something that is beneficial?"

Du Wenhao nodded again and again: "Then what do you mean..."

"Don't be discouraged. You must seize the opportunity to show your talents and regain the respect of the emperor. I'm not talking about your medical skills. No matter how good your medical skills are, you can only treat the sick. For a country, the sick After all, they are a minority, and in a sense, it is irrelevant to the whole country, and governing the country is the right way. For the country, and for the common people, an unrivaled genius doctor is definitely not as good as a good official in an important position!"

"That's right. Healing the country is better than treating people. That's the truth. But, do you think I'm a person who can heal the country?"

"No one is born with the ability to govern the country. Ever since I ruled the world with benevolence, the sage kings of the dynasties have ruled the world with benevolence. And you are a benevolent doctor. You are upright, kind, and kind. The favor of the empress dowager and the emperor, as long as you work hard, it is not difficult to be a good official in an important position! If that day comes, I think, it will be a blessing for the common people."

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin ruled the world with benevolence. After seizing the Hou Zhou regime, he did not carry out bloody killings of the royal family and old ministers of the Hou Zhou. The annexation of other regimes basically adopted political inducements, supplemented by military strikes. Song Dynasty ruled by benevolence One outstanding performance is not to kill scholar-bureaucrats and gossipers.Speech is relatively free, and Su Shi's Wutai poetry case was ultimately demoted.The ministers also dared to openly dispute with the emperor in the hall. Bao Heizi spoke loudly and spit on Song Renzong's face, and Song Renzong just smiled.

Du Wenhao sighed: "That's what I said, but I always feel that I am not suitable for being in the officialdom."

"I didn't encourage you to take an official career, but sometimes many things are beyond your control. What we have to consider now is not whether to take an official career, nor how to do it, but how to avoid disadvantages. The problem of escaping this disaster. We always have a hunch that those people who are very happy in the court must have their eyes on you, because you saved the life of the leader of the White Clothes Society, and the White Clothes Society is grateful to you. You may have something to do with them in the dark. If you don’t take action to show your attitude, the court will probably accuse you. You must be the first to make contributions to show that we are incompatible with the White Clothes Society. So as long as there is such a possibility, we should not give up. "

Du Wenhao thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, you are right. I will ask Ye Zhao's wife tomorrow what she wants to tell me."

"It's not too late, I'm afraid it will be too late tomorrow!"

"Then you mean..."

"Now, go right away!"

"Now?" Du Wenhao said in amazement, "Going back again?"

"No, if this kind of thing is done openly, the regimental envoy won't let you see, or make trouble on the sidelines, we can only go in secret, I'll let you in!"

"it is good!"

Du Wenhao asked Li Pu to park the car on the side of the road and wait, while Lin Qingdai and himself walked through the streets and alleys to the backyard wall of Ye Mansion.

Lin Qingdai first flew up to the room to check the situation. After there was no movement, she came down, grabbed Du Wenhao's waist, threw him up first, then went up by herself, and led him out of the room, avoiding the watchman. Quietly came to Ye Zhao's wife Ziyu's house.

After Ye Zhao took his concubine, he rarely came here.Lin Qingdai first patrolled for a week, and after finding no danger, she sent Du Wenhao to the door, and went to the room to be vigilant.

Ziyu was sitting in front of the round table crying alone, when she heard the sound of the door being pushed open, she looked up and saw that it was Du Wenhao, she was very surprised: "My lord doctor...?"

Du Wenhao clasped his fists and said: "Madam, I heard that you had something to tell me earlier, so I took the liberty to listen to it."

"You...how did you come in? Where is our master?"

"It's not important, let's talk about what you want to tell the officer."

Ziyu hurriedly walked to the door, closed the door, turned around, knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord, if the concubine tells you this matter, if there is any disaster in the future, can you protect the concubine and our lord?" life?"

Du Wenhao's heart moved, and there was indeed a door. He walked to the chair and sat down without moving his expression. He flicked his robe and shook it, and said: "Be honest and be lenient. This is our... It is the basic policy of the Song Dynasty. Tell me , I will do my best to protect you two."

"Yes." Ziyu kowtowed, "One day, shopkeeper Su came to visit and whispered to the master for a long time. But the concubine’s questioning, I just said it. Shopkeeper Su said that a family member of the White Clothes Society came to our Jiazhou, and wanted to cross the border to Tubo, and asked our master to help pass the border. At that time, the imperial court only ordered to arrest the head and backbone of the White Clothes Society. , there is a notice of the arrest of the sea, this person is not within the scope of arrest, and shopkeeper Su gave a heavy gift, so the master didn't think too much, so he agreed, and helped send that person to Tubo."

"Oh? Who is this person?"

"I don't know, and I haven't seen it before. This happened a few days ago. At that time, my concubine didn't know that the White Clothes Society killed officials and rebelled. Yesterday, the master received an official document from the court saying that the White Clothes Society had rebelled and wanted to arrest all the White Clothes Society. Congregation, we now know that the matter is serious."

Having said this, Ziyu burst into tears.

Du Wenhao was a little disappointed. It might be the family members of the head and backbone of the White Clothes Society. Hearing the rumors, he wanted to abscond overseas. It seemed that he had nothing to do with Tang Zhonghuai who he was about to arrest.But secretly he felt a little relieved, at least he didn't have to make up his mind to catch people from the White Clothes Club.Subconsciously, he still wants to hide, not to cause trouble.

Du Wenhao said: "Well, at that time the court didn't say they would arrest those people, and your master let him go, it's not too big of a crime. If you really want to question the crime, I will help you speak."

Ziyu was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly: "With the words of the Imperial Physician, I feel relieved. Thank you, the Imperial Physician."

Du Wenhao left, and with Lin Qingdai's help, he climbed over the wall and left Ye Mansion.

After hearing Du Wenhao's story, Lin Qingdai said: "In this way, the Su family must have a special relationship with the White Clothes Society, and we must step up monitoring of them. At the same time, we must also monitor the Ye family."

"Well, when I get back, I'll call the county magistrate for deployment."

Driving back to the inn, Du Wenhao hurriedly sent someone to call Wu Zhixian. After talking about this incident, he asked him to send more people to strengthen the monitoring of the Su family, and at the same time send someone to monitor the Ye family.Wu Zhixian bowed and took the order to say goodbye.

Du Wenhao was about to wash up and go to bed, when he heard footsteps hurriedly, a clerk ran up in a panic and said to Du Wenhao: "Master, it's not good, our shopkeeper was stung by a scorpion on the stove, That scorpion is as long as a finger, can you go and have a look?"

Without further ado, Du Wenhao followed downstairs to the kitchen, only to see the shopkeeper squatting on the ground with his hands clasped, ouch, ouch.

Du Wenhao asked him to stretch out his hand to have a look, and saw that the palm of his hand was swollen like a big carrot. The shopkeeper, a man in his 40s, was in so much pain that he called his father and mother, it must be really painful.It seems that this scorpion is really poisonous.

Du Wenhao: "Don't worry, I'll find a way."

The shopkeeper cried, "An old man in our village was stung by a scorpion and died within two days."

Du Wenhao comforted: "Scorpions are very poisonous, but they are not as poisonous as snakes. Don't worry, I will find a way." After speaking, he patted him on the shoulder, and then went to the corner to look for something.

The shopkeeper was anxious: "My lord, tell me what you are looking for, and I will send someone to help you find it. If you save my life, I... I will repay your kindness!"

Du Wenhao waved his hand and concentrated on looking for things. Lin Qingdai: "Shopkeeper, don't worry. Our master is trying to find a way."

The shopkeeper was still in a panic, holding his swollen carrot-like hand and staring at him eagerly.
