Jiao Niang's Medical Sutra

"What happened again?"

On the other side, Mrs. Chen asked in surprise.

An old servant nodded.

"The archers were moved, and the Taiping Residence was almost demolished." He said, "The five men were all taken away."

Old Master Chen frowned and put down the scroll in his hand.

"Who else?" he asked.

He asked who, not why.

"It's to catch deserters." The old servant said proactively.

"Deserters?" Old Master Chen repeated, shaking his head, "What's the matter with deserters? How could you just hold on to them just because of this..."

It's not the frontier army, the deserters fleeing here are no different from ordinary people, who cares about it!

"Really, master, that's what the officers and soldiers shouted at the scene." The old servant said.

"That's just shouting." Mrs. Chen said.

"Someone reported anonymously." The old servant added what he had heard.

Old Master Chen even smiled and shook his head.

how can that be!

Can an anonymous report be able to mobilize the crowd and arrest everyone at once?How can there be such a simple thing in the world!

"Let the master ask what's going on," he said.

The old servant responded and withdrew.

Old Mrs. Chen leaned on his head with another hand, concentrating on it.

"A deserter?" he murmured. "A little thing?"

Not long after, the servant hurried in.

"Grandpa, the master is seeing a guest." He said.

"A visitor?" Old Mrs. Chen frowned, "Who is the visitor?"

"It's Mr. Cui, the servant of the Ministry of War." The servant said.

Ministry of War?

Old Mrs. Chen sat upright, frowning.

It seems.Sure enough, it's not a trivial matter.

At the same time, outside the door of the Zhou family's Saturday Lang's house, a young man was poking his head.

The sound of warblers and swallows was buzzing inside, and Saturday Lang stood in the hall, watching his mother and maidservants tidy up their clothes.

I have to take this one, I have to take that one, and I can't help wiping my tears while talking.

"When we go to Shanzhou first, my grandparents are all at home making good arrangements, so my mother doesn't have to worry about it. I can't bring so much." Liu Liulang said.

"They arranged it as thoughtfully as I did." Mrs. Zhou wiped her tears and said, looking around again, pointing to the girl and stuffing in a few big winter sweaters.

Saturday Lang shook his head and saw the boy by the door.

This boy is in front of the door, could it be...

"Young lady is here." The servant mouthed at him.

Smelly woman!

Saturday Lang clenched his hands and gritted his teeth.

Since the first day I knew this woman.There is no time to be happy when you think of it!

Whether love comes or not, she doesn't look down on herself anyway!

Saturday Lang turned his head and said nothing.

"... Liulang, this dress is too small, let's make a few more..." Madam Zhou said, holding up a dress to him for comparison.

Saturday Lang nodded.

What is she... here for?

bother you for something..

This woman is even more so.

She doesn't care about marriage, that's when she comes home suddenly.Is there something else important to care about?

Liu Liulang turned his head, and the servant hurriedly gestured at him again.

"Six Lang."

Mrs. Zhou's voice rang in her ears.

Saturday Lang was startled and quickly turned his head.Seeing Mrs. Zhou standing in front of her.

"What are you doing?" Mrs. Zhou asked, looking at the boy.

The boy lowered his head.

"Nothing." Said Saturday Lang.

How could Mrs. Zhou believe it?

"Say, what are you sneaking around?" She shouted at the boy.

The boy shuddered.

"Mistress Jiao is here." He said immediately.

Mrs. Zhou was also taken aback.

"What is she here for?" She asked, looking at Liu Liulang, "Are you going to force a marriage?"

To say that in the past, Liu Lang could feel flustered when he heard it, but now...

"I don't come to do this for anything." He snorted.

Mrs. Zhou didn't bother to pack her clothes anymore, and hurriedly asked the girl to inquire.Not long after the girl came back.

"Master and Miss Jiao have gone out," she said.

"Going out?" Mrs. Zhou was even more surprised, "Where are you going? What are you doing?"

"It is said that something happened." The girl said.

The expressions of Mrs. Zhou and Saturday Lang changed slightly.

"What happened again? What happened again?" they asked in unison.

Master Zhou came back very quickly.He came in when Cheng Jiaoniang sat in the teahouse for only two cups of tea.

"It's really a coincidence that someone has concealed the complaint. There are many concealed complaints, but this one met Liu Kui." Master Zhou said, sitting down, "This Liu Kui, who is full of food, actually took I didn't find him just now for this attack, I'll go to his house in a while, Jiao Niang, don't worry, just leave this matter to me."

On the one hand, he was filled with righteous indignation.

"These short-sighted people go to Taipingju to arrest people without looking at them. That's Taipingju! It's me...cough cough cough..."

Although he believed in his heart that Taipingju and Shenxianju were his own, he really couldn't say it in front of his real master.

What's more, Cheng Jiaoniang herself never said anything.

"Look this time, I'm going, can I talk about you?" He asked tactfully.

Cheng Jiaoniang seemed to be in a daze and did not answer.

Master Zhou was a little guilty and coughed.

"Nowadays, the military affairs in the court and China are complicated and there are endless quarrels. Liu Kui can't show credit for this incident. He might be punished. If he regrets it, he must have uttered nonsense when he reported it, otherwise The Ministry of War will not even approve it." He said with a smile.

Cheng Jiaoniang looked up at him in a trance.

"Why won't the Ministry of War approve it?" she asked.

Master Zhou twisted his beard and smiled.

"Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone knew that Mrs. Chen recommended Taiping Tofu to Monk Minghai." He said, "So people in the world know that Taiping's residence has something to do with Chen's family, and many people even guessed that the owner behind it is What about the Chen family?"

Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.

She knew about this misunderstanding, and she was happy to see it, besides.It is indeed true.

"Military Minister Cui Qi and Chen Xianggong are in the same party." Master Zhou said, "If he knew that these deserters were ordinary people, he would definitely not approve, so don't worry, I don't need you to come forward, I will go find them Once you say it, it’s settled.”

Cheng Jiaoniang's expression remained the same, looking at Master Zhou as if thoughtful.

"What party?" she asked suddenly.

"What party?" Master Zhou was stunned.

"What kind of party is the Minister of the Ministry of War and Mr. Chen?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.

Master Zhou chuckled, after all, it was the women in the boudoir who didn't know about court affairs.I can't understand these words either.

"It means one faction." He laughed, thinking that the little lady probably didn't understand. "For example, when it comes to punishing Wang Butang and re-selecting the Northwest Economic and Strategic Appeasement Envoy, the two of them agree."

Cheng Jiaoniang said oh.

"So you think, catch the deserters and hold them accountable. If you get involved, you will have to deal with ordinary things. Wouldn't that embarrass Mr. Chen? Mr. Cui will not do this at this time." Master Zhou laughed, "You can rest assured..."

"Why didn't you do this at this time? Is there anything important at this time?" Cheng Jiaoniang interrupted him and asked again.

This kid is really good....

It's rare that something happened to her and she took the initiative to come to him. It can be seen that she was seen as a relative, and Master Zhou was very happy.I couldn't help being a little proud, so I asked and answered patiently.

"That's a long story," he said. "Do you still remember the last time I was framed by that Liu?"

Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.

"What happened that time was a trivial matter." Master Zhou said angrily, "That Liu just took the right time. The Northwest was defeated and the emperor was furious. The impeachment memorial in front of him was as tall as one person, even with the backing of Qualcomm, it was not shocked. Wang Butang's subordinate Liu Jun was even beheaded to show the public. At this time, if something happens, it will be played in front of the emperor. , convicted of a serious military crime, that's why it has become a fatal matter, no one dares to help, the loss is you, Jiaojiaoer, otherwise our Zhou family might have already been sent to prison..."

If it weren't for you, Jiaojiaoer, these things probably wouldn't have happened. Of course, Master Zhou would never say these things.

He just sighed, with a bit of helplessness and a bit of insight into the world.

"That's how this court struggle is, you fight to the death, sweeping a large area..."

"Who is Wang Butang?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.

Master Zhou frowned slightly, the child's question was too detailed.

"He is the former governor of Suzhou and the comfort envoy of the Northwest Economic Strategy. He was once a member of the Privy Council." He said, "It is the highest official position among generals, and not everyone can sit in this position. If Wang Butang hadn't found him It’s a good backer, and I won’t sit here easily…”

"Is the backing from Qualcomm?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.

The kid listened carefully enough.

Master Zhou nodded.

"Who is he?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked again.

It really is…

"The concubine's surname is Gao..." Master Zhou said, "The empress dowager is also surnamed Gao."

Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.

"Are there Cui Qi and Chen Shao, the ministers of the Ministry of War, among the people who are biting at Wang Butang?" She asked again.

Hey, okay, I can guess what I didn't say.

"Yes." Master Zhou nodded.

"So they are one party?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.

Master Zhou nodded, oh, yes, yes, this is back to their original question and answer, and it’s such a big circle...

Cheng Jiaoniang stopped asking and remained silent.

"So don't worry about this matter, it's a trivial matter." Master Zhou said, and returned to the original topic, "I will go to Liu Kui tomorrow, and I will go to the Ministry of War to say hello..."

"Uncle." Cheng Jiaoniang interrupted him, "No need."

Master Zhou was stunned.

"What's the use?" he asked.

"Uncle has already helped me with this matter, so I don't need to worry about the rest." Cheng Jiaoniang said.

Is this distressing and afraid of troubling yourself?Still feel useless?

Mr. Zhou consciously chose to plant later.

Does she want to talk about her relationship with the Chen family directly?

"You don't need to let Chen Xianggong know about it. It's a trivial matter. I'll let it go." Master Zhou laughed.

Cheng Jiaoniang shook her head.

"It's not a small thing," she said. "At first it was a small thing, but now, it's not."

Master Zhou was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed.

After all, she was still a little girl, and she encountered so many things, so she was too careful.

"I'm not too careful." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "I'm just used to thinking the worst in advance."

Master Zhou couldn't help but look a little solemn when he thought of this woman's methods.

"What did you think of? Do you know who offended you?" He asked.

At the beginning, when she said that Xu Maoxiu and others had been arrested, Master Zhou's first thought was that he had offended someone again, but he said that he couldn't think of anyone who had offended him, and asked him to ask the specific situation.

It seems that this is remembered?

"Maybe I offended someone." Cheng Jiaoniang said.

not human?

If someone else said this, Master Zhou would give him a slap, but this woman said...

The tea room was quiet, blocked by sunlight, and looked a bit gloomy. The woman in plain clothes in front of her was sitting upright, her expression was pale and dull, her eyes were dull and dead...

Thinking about what happened to her...

Although they are respected and kept at a distance, people in the officialdom will more or less believe in ghosts and gods...

not human…

Master Zhou couldn't help shivering.

"What's that?" He asked with a dry smile.

"Lucky." Cheng Jiaoniang said. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
