Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 336 Long Aotian Is Homeless

Anyway, no matter how proud Long Aotian is, he is the disciple of the old god Sun Simiao after all, and Chang'an county magistrate should treat him well and show respect if he does not look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha.

The county magistrate of Chang'an put down the case in hand and asked someone to invite Long Aotian in.Long Aotian entered the lobby, raised his chin, and did not greet the county magistrate.

He has a noble status and has several false titles on him. Although he is not respected at the gate of the imperial medical office, he actually has the title of imperial physician, and he is not young, but he never disdains to be with imperial physicians. Naturally, imperial physicians I don't like him, so I don't respect him enough, but if I go to the lobby, don't look at it as an empty title, and I don't need to greet the county magistrate!

The magistrate of Chang'an has seen a lot of rich and noble people, and there are a lot of rude people. If he gets angry when he sees the son, can he be angry?He didn't take it seriously, he stood up after the big case, cupped his hands at Long Aotian, and said: "Dr. Long, long time no see. I can't come out to meet you. I hope you will forgive me!"

Long Aotian hummed, and said: "It's good to know that you're rude, don't do it next time!" After a pause, he said: "I'm here to sue... oh, if you want to sue, you have to beat the drum first, but I will beat the drum Forget about it!" As he spoke, he turned and left.

The magistrate of Chang'an was taken aback, didn't he come to sue, why did he go out again, why did he go there?

I saw Long Aotian came out of the lobby, walked to the drum stand at the gate, picked up the drumsticks, and started to beat loudly!

The magistrate of Chang'an was stunned inside, and the servants on both sides were also stunned.Drumming is to summon the county magistrate. If a case comes, it is time to go to court; but if the county magistrate is in the hall and everyone has come in to say hello, then why are you still playing drums?Isn't this taking off his pants and farting, so unnecessary!

But Long Aotian just likes everything to be done according to the procedure, and the complaint requires drumming, which is clearly written in the book, of course he has to abide by it!After beating the drum, he came in again and said, "Master County Magistrate, I want to sue Wang Ping'an, please send him quickly!"

The Chang'an county magistrate was stunned just now, but before he could react, he was stunned again. After a long while, he said, "Who do you want to sue?"

Long Aotian wondered: "Is there something wrong with my accent? I speak clearly. The person I want to sue is Wang Ping'an. You should send someone to tell him!"

The magistrate of Chang'an grinned, you want to sue Wang Ping'an, do you know who he is?If you want to pass on Wang Ping'an, you have to go to the West Terrace in the Palace, which is Zhongshu Province, or to the East Palace, to the Chongxian Hall. Are these two places that people of my rank can go to?I'm just a small county magistrate, bigger than a sesame seed, but no bigger than a mung bean!
"This... is not in a hurry, you have to explain the case first, and then I can pass it on... before you can invite the prince and marquis!" The magistrate of Chang'an bit his head and said.

Long Aotian snorted, and said: "Wang Pingan dared to dismiss my servant..." He told the story again, and took out the letter as evidence, and handed it to the magistrate of Chang'an.

The county magistrate of Chang'an listened to the case and almost couldn't laugh out loud, and forced himself to hold back his stomach, but the officials on both sides laughed loudly, just like the gangsters!This is too nonsense, you can't stand your servant, but he was dismissed by Wang Ping'an, then what are you doing to eat!
Seeing the servants laughing, Long Aotian was very unhappy, and said: "What's so funny? It's really strange, why everyone laughs non-stop when they hear this, are you delirious? Hearing this How can you still laugh at the great evil that both humans and gods are angry with?"

The yamen servants didn't say anything, and they couldn't talk casually in the lobby, but they still laughed and didn't take his scolding seriously!

The magistrate of Chang'an took the letter, opened it and looked at it. He couldn't bear it anymore, and he also burst out laughing.He laughed and said: "I have been an official for many years, and the cases I have tried are not counting the small ones, and the big ones are always over a hundred, but this is the first time I have come across such a case!"

Long Aotian couldn't bear it anymore, he asked: "Why on earth are you laughing, how can you still laugh after hearing such a big injustice in the world, you should be filled with righteous indignation!"

The county magistrate of Chang'an nodded quickly, and said: "Yes, it is a tragedy in the world. Doctor Long couldn't wash up, and no one was cooking for him. It couldn't be more miserable!"

He shook the letter paper in his hand, and said: "Doctor Long, are you planning to use this as evidence to sue Wang Pingan? What about your certificate, I need a certificate before I can accept the case!"

Long Aotian sighed, and said: "I was in a hurry, I forgot to write it!"

The yamen servants looked at him together, thinking in their hearts: "He won't run home to write the petition, and then run back, beat the drums to complain, and then submit the petition? It's possible!"

Who knows, this time Long Aotian is not too dumb, he said: "How about the county magistrate lend me a pen and paper, so I can write the certificate now?"

The county magistrate of Chang'an shook his head and said: "No need, if there is any complaint, you don't even want to win this lawsuit!" Holding the letter paper, he said to Long Aotian: "This letter cannot be used as evidence. If it can be used as evidence, then whoever writes Braille can be brought to the court as evidence!"

Long Aotian was stunned for a moment, and said in a daze: "Why, this is not scribbled! Although the bad parts about me are all scribbled, and Wang Ping'an is a good person, it is also scribbled, but writing Wang Ping'an to them Money, to persuade them to escape, but it is true!"

The magistrate of Chang'an shook his head and said, "But it didn't say that Wang Ping'an urged them to leave, and it can't be said that they escaped, it's just that they don't work as long-term workers in your family!"

He paused, and said gently: "Even if this letter can be used as evidence, the person who wrote the letter has to be present in person to testify against the prince, and he must return the money rewarded by the prince. But even so, This lawsuit can't go on, because your servants are not slave households, they are all free, even if they listen to the prince and leave your house, they will not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty!"

The magistrate of Chang'an asked someone to return the letter to Long Aotian, and said: "Doctor Long, go home, read the laws of the Tang Dynasty when you have time, or recruit more servants. You are not short of money, treat the servants better in the future! "

Long Aotian thought for a while, and said: "Life is alive, but food, clothing, housing and transportation, I have given them these four things, what is there to be dissatisfied with? Money is nothing good, you can't eat when you are hungry, and you can't eat when you are thirsty. You can't drink, you can't wear it when it's cold, and..."

The magistrate of Chang'an waved his hand and said, "Don't say any more, go home, let's go home!"

Long Aotian was quite resentful, and thought: "This county magistrate is not with Wang Ping'an, is he, and wants to protect him? Well, when I go home and write a certificate, I will sue in another yamen, I have to sue Down with Wang Ping'an!"

Walking out of the lobby, Long Aotian thought again: "Wang Ping'an stole my teacher's prescription, can I sue him for this? There is no evidence, and it seems that I still can't win the lawsuit!" Sighing, he felt that he really had to study in college. Tang's law is established, otherwise he would not know how to fight the lawsuit.

When he left the county office, he saw the coachman waiting outside the door, so he got into the carriage and drove back to his home in Yongyangfang.

But as soon as he got home, he just entered the gate and was about to give money to the coachman. Long Aotian was shocked, and saw that the things in the house were turned into a mess, valuable furniture, some vases and antiques, all disappeared!
He said strangely: "What about my family's things? Why are they gone? I didn't sell my property?"

The coachman shouted outside the door: "Your house has been burglarized, and everything has been stolen!"

Long Aotian groaned, and only then did he realize that he had been stolen by a thief, and it was such an actual situation to be stolen by a thief!He hurriedly ran to the backyard, and saw that the backyard was also turned into a mess, all valuables were stolen, and nothing like money was left for him. Fortunately, his books and medical equipment were still there, a blessing in misfortune!
The coachman followed in and shouted: "Doctor Long, you owe me the money for the car, give it to me quickly, my house is still waiting for the rice to be cooked!" No, but the car money can't be avoided, small business, today less income, what about the wife and children at home, he still has to support the family!

Long Aotian didn't speak for a long time, the coachman stepped forward to pull him, and he came back to his senses, and said: "The money is gone, what can I give you? I don't have any rice for cooking... By the way, I have money Not lost!"

The two ran to the kitchen together, okay, the pot was also stolen.It seems that the thief who stole his house was quite professional and left him nothing!

The coachman stomped his feet and said, "I'm really unlucky today, how did this happen to me!"

Long Aotian was dumbfounded, and also said: "I'm too unlucky, how did I come across this!"

Good things don't come in pairs, and bad things don't go alone.Unlucky, is this also called unlucky?Even more unlucky is yet to come!

Suddenly someone outside the door shouted with an accent outside the customs: "This is the house, it is written on the deed!"

With the same accent, someone said in surprise and joy: "This house is so big. It is unimaginable that two hundred coins can buy such a big house. Isn't it that houses in Chang'an are so expensive, why are they so cheap!"

The coachman looked at Long Aotian and said: "Your house deed was also stolen, right? It was sold by the thief?"

Such a big house only needs [-] guan, so it can't be sold well, if you say sell it, it will be sold in the blink of an eye!
He saw a group of big men rushing in from outside the door, all of them were tall and strong, all dressed in strong clothes, with big knives on their waists, they seemed to be martial arts masters, maybe they were dart runners.

A middle-aged man said with joy on his face: "I really didn't expect that, just now I thought those people were lying to us, if it weren't for the fact that the land deed is real, I really can't believe that there is such a cheap house in Chang'an! Come on, our bodyguard agency will be here from now on!"

The big guys rushed in, saw Long Aotian and the coachman, and asked: "Who are you and why are you here? Ah, are you the servants of this family? Sorry, we have enough manpower, we don't need servants, you take care of them." Get off your luggage, let's go!"

Long Aotian couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "This is my house, who let you in?"

The joyous big guys stopped together, a little scared, they are foreigners, they came to Chang'an from outside the customs all the way, they are not familiar with the place, they are afraid of getting into trouble, it is purely normal!

However, they are warriors after all, and they cannot be frightened by their loud voices.The leading middle-aged man took out a house deed and said, "Isn't this house deed fake?" The voice was quite suspicious, anyway, it is really difficult for two hundred people to buy such a big house in Chang'an He believed it, and he was also afraid that the house deed was fake and that he would suffer losses in vain.

Long Aotian glanced at it, and said loudly: "How could it be fake? This is my house deed, with the seal of the government on it. It is absolutely true. Whoever says it is fake, I will file a lawsuit with him!"

The middle-aged man put the house deed in his arms, and the men behind him are no longer afraid. If it is true, it is true. You admit it is true, so what are we afraid of?
The middle-aged man said: "Since it is true, and now the deed is in my hands, this house is of course mine. What are you shouting about here?"

Long Aotian has no experience in dealing with this kind of thing, he can only "reason", but he can't make any strong reason, he can only shout loudly, saying that the house deed was stolen and should be returned to him!

The middle-aged man was impatient and said: "It's really unreasonable. If you say it's yours, it's yours? Then why do you need the deed? You can go to the government and tell the government. If the government says it's yours, then you will return it." I have two hundred guan, I will take people away immediately, but not now!"

Some big men said: "Maybe you are with those people who sell the house deeds and want to cheat us of money!"

The big men nodded one after another, saying that it is not easy to make money by licking blood with their knives, and if they want to be cheated, there is absolutely no end!
Long Aotian was angry and impatient, but he couldn't tell why, the middle-aged man was annoyed by his calling, he waved his hand, and ordered his subordinates to set up Long Aotian and throw him out of the door!
Long Aotian looked around in a daze, it was hard to believe that such a thing would happen in the world, who should he go to to reason with, could he go to the county government again?Seeing his pity, the coachman stepped forward and said, "Forget it, what happened to your family, I can no longer ask for your car money. You know a lot of high-ranking officials, go beg them, and let them make decisions for you. Don't worry." Well, the house must come back, I'll take you to the county government!"

Long Aotian had no choice but to get on the carriage again and rush to the county government.But when he arrived at the yamen, he was told that the county magistrate had gone out on business outside the city and would not be back until tomorrow.

It's terrible now, Long Aotian wanted to find other high officials, but felt ashamed, his self-esteem couldn't stand it.The coachman shook his head and sighed, and said: "Doctor Long, don't get angry. If you don't want to ask others, just wait. Anyway, when the county magistrate comes back tomorrow, he can take your house back."

This is true, Long Aotian thought for a while, and said with a bitter face: "But where am I going now, where am I going to spend the night, I am homeless now!"

He has never suffered a little bit in his life, he has never suffered a little bit of crime, and he doesn't know how to deal with it.In fact, if he goes into the yamen now, puts on airs, orders the boss or arrests the head, immediately let him handle this matter, so that the people inside will not dare to neglect!

The style of the yamen has always been like this. If there is something that is not urged, the officials will never take the initiative to do it. If the person involved does not urge, do you expect others to worry for him?

The coachman said kindly: "Why don't you go to Wuyou Tang, it's a newly established yamen, it's specially designed to help people who have no place to sleep and no food to eat, you go there to get a bowl of porridge to fill your stomach, and spend the night there. It's better than sleeping on the streets!"

Wuyoutang was founded by Wang Ping'an, Long Aotian just returned to Beijing, and he didn't know about it yet.He said: "The people there won't laugh at me, will they?"

The coachman exclaimed, and said, "They are all poor people, who can look down on anyone, I am a good person to the end, I will send you there!"
