The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 174
"Then this is..."

"One of my subordinates personally went to meet this prefect Xu." Murong Shen frowned and said, "This man has a rather tough temper, it took some effort to get these from him."

After hearing this, Ye Zhaoqing's eyes flickered: "It shouldn't be! It's just a servant. Does Xu Zhifu know about Ari and his son?"

"I should know." Murong Shen nodded, stood up and said: "Ari's mother, I arranged her in a guest room downstairs. The innkeeper's family has already donated money and fled. You can arrange a time for Ari Go see his mother."

"it is good."

Hearing the answer, Murong Shen turned around and left.

Seeing this, Liu'er curled her lips, and asked Ye Zhaoqing, "Miss, do you want to call Ari over?"

"No, you take him directly to meet her mother." Ye Zhaoqing said.

"Okay!" Liu'er shrugged when she heard this, and said, "This Ahli has done countless good deeds in his previous life to meet you, miss. He is really lucky! Not only did he help redeem his body, but he also raised his mother together. Get up, Miss, you don't want to see him, are you afraid that he will be grateful to you in front of you?"

"You're the only one talking too much!" Ye Zhaoqing cast a sidelong glance at Liu'er after hearing this, waved his hands and said, "Okay, you can go now!"

Liu'er responded, turned around and backed away bouncing.

Ye Zhaoqing sighed, stroked his aching temple, stood up and walked to the window to move his body.

The streets outside are still in a hurry, and almost all the shops and inns are closed. Since the plague was introduced here, everyone is in danger and depressed.

It has been several days, and I don't know when the imperial court's disaster relief team will arrive.

Just when Ye Zhaoqing was about to look away, he suddenly saw several gorgeous carriages coming from the opposite street, surrounded by yamen servants, everyone looked serious, they looked like they were from the government.

Could it be that the people sent by the court have arrived?

But they didn't get the news?

Ye Zhaoqing was surprised when he heard this.

The team of carriages surrounded by the yamen servants moved forward extremely slowly, and the common people avoided them far away. If anyone couldn't dodge, the yamen servants whipped them over. In just a quarter of an hour, only this pedestrian on the street Other than that, there was no longer a single figure to be seen.

"Lord Xing, look, there is no one who has smallpox on this street! Our adults have already said that it was just a rumor made by someone..." Standing next to the main sedan chair, a young government servant bent over and faced the sedan chair The people inside are flattering.

Because of the short distance, and also because of Ye Zhaoqing's good hearing, these words came into Ye Zhaoqing's ears clearly, and she couldn't help frowning.

What is spreading rumors?Is smallpox still fake?

"Really?" When the sedan chair was about to leave, Ye Zhaoqing heard a deep male voice coming from the sedan chair. She was frowning and wondering who this person was, when suddenly a child curled up in front of a shop opposite her looked like It rushed towards the sedan chair like a bomb!

"My lord! Save us! Save us!"

Immediately afterwards, several ragged and unkempt people rushed out from the door of the shop, threw themselves in the middle of the road and began to shout.

As a last resort, the sedan chair had to stop.

With a sound of "Pa!", the whip in the hand of the yamen servant was raised high, and it was whipped on those people.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Mr. Xing from the capital is sitting in this carriage! You scumbags, do you want to rebel?" A yamen servant yelled, "Get out of here! If you don't leave, I'll beat you to death!"

Those ragged refugees were shaken all over by the whip, and they didn't know whether it was pain or fright, but no matter how the yamen servants beat and scolded them, they knelt there firmly, refusing to take a step away, mourning shouted: "My lord! There is really smallpox here! Many people have died! Please save us!"

"Get out! Don't block here!" The faces of the servants suddenly changed, and their whips were raised higher: "You don't understand people's words, do you? This is not where you should come! Get out! Get out!"

"My lord..." Those few people knelt there just begged bitterly, and refused to leave no matter what.

Ye Zhaoqing stood by the window, seeing all this clearly, a trace of anger could not help but burst out in her eyes, she wanted to see how this Lord Xing in the sedan chair would deal with the matter in front of him!
I don't know how long it took, the door curtain of the carriage was finally opened with a hand from the inside, followed by a voice: "Where are you all from? Why did you stop the official sedan chair?"

"Go back to your lord! We are all ordinary people in Jinzhou City. The reason why we stopped your carriage is because too many people have died of smallpox!" A ragged man suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly : "The disaster is serious. If we don't think about it, more people will die!"

"You nonsense! Who said there is a plague here?" A yamen servant's face changed, and he raised his whip to beat the man, but at this moment, the man in the carriage waved his hand suddenly and said: "Don't beat him, it's true that you say so Is there a plague?"

"Lord Xing, even if there is, it is only a small part. Our lord has already controlled it. It is definitely not as serious as this person said..." The yamen servant smiled at Master Xing, and turned his head to stare viciously. Glancing at the refugee who spoke, he said, "You short-sighted person, what are you talking about here?"

"Oh." Master Xing said meaningfully after hearing the words: "Have you controlled it? How did you control it?"

The yamen servant was about to answer, but unexpectedly, one of the few refugees kneeling on the ground rushed to speak: "What else can I do, arrest and beat me to death! Otherwise, what can I do!"

"You!" The yamen servant widened his eyes angrily, wishing he could beat the person in front of him to death with a stick!

Ye Zhaoqing watched upstairs, but couldn't help being amused. At this moment, she could already see that this scene was deliberately arranged by someone.

As for who it is, do you have to guess?

Except for Murong Shen, no one else would care about these refugees.

Zhu Zhizhen, the governor of Jinzhou City, deceived his superiors and concealed it, and wanted to make big things into small things. In order to keep the black gauze hat on his head, he would indeed do anything, and these refugees did not wrong him.

"So that's the case." Lord Xing said in a low voice in the carriage, as if he wanted to lift the curtain to see these refugees, but at this moment, the yamen servant became anxious, and hurriedly said: "My lord, these refugees seem to be You are infected with smallpox, you must not come down!"

As soon as this remark came out, Master Xing let go of the hand that was holding the door curtain.

The yamen servants standing around also tightly covered their mouths and noses, a look of panic appeared on their faces.But the sophistry yamen servant was still standing there in a daze.

Seeing this scene, Ye Zhaoqing couldn't help but shook his head. Everyone cherishes their own lives, and Mr. Xing is no exception. Even if he wants to understand the people's feelings and make decisions for the people, he must ensure that he will not be harmed. .

"Why didn't you tell me about smallpox earlier!" Another yamen servant complained, covering his mouth.

The yamen servant snorted coldly after hearing this, "I just saw the rash on his neck just now!"

"Okay, stop talking, didn't you see the adults and didn't talk anymore? Why don't you kick them away so we can walk?" The yamen servant turned his head and glanced at the other yamen servants.

At this time, he didn't teach those people a lesson by himself.

The crowd dared not speak out, stepped forward and kicked the refugees away one by one, and the carriage started to walk slowly again.

But at this moment, the child who was the first to rush forward, who kept his head down and didn't speak, suddenly jumped up from the ground, hugged the arm of the yamen servant who was swearing, opened his mouth and bit down!

"Ah!—" The yamen servant let out an earth-shattering scream, the sound pierced the sky, and the birds on the trees by the wall not far away were so startled that they flapped their wings and flew away!
"Damn refugee——" The yamen servant's eyes were tearing apart, and he used his other good hand to shake the child's head, trying to get him off his arm, but it was counterproductive.

"Quick! Kill him quickly! He has smallpox, it's contagious!" The boy screamed, and shouted at his companions.

Master Xing in the sedan chair seemed to be stunned when he heard the movement outside, and there was no movement for a long time.

Ye Zhaoqing was very nervous watching upstairs, and turned around to send someone down to rescue the poor child, but the next moment, she saw a person downstairs walking towards the carriage quickly.

Looking at the back is Murong Shen.

Seeing this scene, Ye Zhaoqing breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that with Murong Shen around, no matter what the yamen servant did first, he would not succeed.

At this time, she could no longer take care of Mr. Xing.

"I'll kill you—" Seeing that his companions were hesitant to come forward, and he couldn't move the child's head away, there was a heart-wrenching feeling on his arm. His anger came from his heart, and his evil came from his gallbladder With a loud sound, he suddenly pulled out the sword on his body, and slashed at the child's head fiercely!

Premonitioning what was going to happen next, all the servants around him dodged to the side, for fear that the splashed blood would splash on themselves.

It was too late to say it, and it was so fast, when the blade was still an inch away from the child's head, there was a sudden sound of piercing the air in the wind, and it was unclear what hit the back of the knife The next moment, the knife in the yamen servant's hand flew far away, and fell to the ground with a bang.

This sudden change made everyone stunned. After a while, they all turned their heads.

I saw a young man with an expressionless face standing there quietly, not knowing how long he stood three feet away from the crowd.

From the looks of it, the knife in the yamen servant's hand was knocked down by this man.

With a sound of "Pa!", the child finally let go of his teeth and fell to the ground, and the yamen servant clasped his arms and yelled.

"You, who are you? Dare to stop us from handling the case?" It took him a long time to react, and he couldn't help yelling at Murong Shen: "Come on! Take him back, and put him in prison for half a year first! "

"Are you alright?" Murong Shen ignored him, but stepped forward, helped the frightened child up, and handed him over to the refugees.

"Who the hell are you?" That yamen servant has been calling the shots in the county yamen for more than ten years, and he has never been so despised by anyone. When he saw this, he was furious, and he wanted to jump up immediately and give Murong Shen some big ears. , he did not dare to do so.

"You can see clearly, they are not infected with smallpox." Murong Shen said word by word.

"Are you a doctor? Do you have the final say on whether you have smallpox or not? If I say he has it, he has it!" The yamen servant was obviously frightened by Murong Shen's aura, but he still tried his best to put on an evil look .

"Strong man, may I ask Gao's name?" But at this moment, Lord Xing's car curtain was finally lifted from the inside, revealing a middle-aged uncle in official robes. At the age of [-], there is some kindness inexplicably.

Murong Shen turned his head and glanced at him, then replied in a deep voice: "Lord Xing, please stay safe."

Upon hearing this voice, Lord Xing's eyes suddenly widened, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"Bold!" The next moment, he turned his head and said angrily to the yamen servant who was flaunting his power before: "Fabricating facts, slandering the people, and even attempting to kill them, is this the style of my Jinzhou yamen? Don't wait until tomorrow. I will go to pay a visit to your Lord Inspector today!"

"Farewell! Lord Xing!" The yamen servant's face turned green when he heard this, and he couldn't help crying, "My lord, you have reported this to our lord, how can that little one still survive!"

"If you offend him, you are already close to death." Lord Xing didn't buy it, he just turned his head, stared at Murong Shen and said, "My lord, what do you think should be done about the matter in front of you?"

As soon as these words came out, Murong Shen looked very calm, but the faces of the servants standing around Mr. Xing's carriage turned ugly.

How is this going?Why did Master Xing call this humble young man 'Master'?How can he be called an adult?
"These people didn't suffer from smallpox, but they were treated unfairly, and I hope the Lord will make decisions for them." Murong Shen heard the words and said indifferently: "Master Xing, you can just figure it out! I still have things to do, so let's take care of them." I'll take my leave first." With that said, he turned around and strode away.

Master Xing watched his leaving back, with a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

I didn't expect, I didn't expect that the imperial court official would come to Jinzhou. It seems that he has to keep his eyes open. If he does something unruly, then wait for him to go to Yuqian to participate in his own book!

It was all caused by these people in front of me!

Let Zhu Zhizhen put them in prison when they go back!What do you do with such a flamboyant and flamboyant person?
The yamen servant also seemed to have expected that he had kicked the iron plate today, and it would definitely not be a happy ending to wait for him when he went back. A trace of despair appeared on his face, how could there be any prestige just now?

Soon, the group disappeared on the long street, and naturally no one dared to beat those refugees anymore.

An hour later, Lord Zhu, the governor of Jinzhou, hurried to the inn accompanied by his subordinates.

Originally, he wanted Mr. Xing to accompany him, but Mr. Xing didn't want to say anything. In desperation, he had no choice but to come by himself.

According to the legend, even the emperor dared to contradict the emperor, but the official became bigger and bigger, Murong Shen!He actually came here!
