Subversion of the plot [Comprehensive]

Chapter 136 The Dream of the Red Mansion 8

Fortunately, Wang Xifeng was prepared, and Mrs. Wang did look for Jia Lian that day, and learned that Jia Lian was not at home, so she had no choice but to let it go.Mrs. Wang called Zhou Rui and said, "Doctors should help the world and save people, but there are quack doctors who carelessly care about people's lives for money! What Huichuntang, I think closing the door early can save a few people from dying in vain. You should handle this matter carefully." Alright, if necessary, use the second master's name card."

"Yes." Zhou Rui bowed and said yes, he had already heard about this kind of inside information from Zhou Rui's family, and he understood that Mrs. Wang's intention was not only to close the Huichun Hall, but also to send Xu Yan to prison.

If it's another little doctor, with the ability of the Duke's Mansion, it's no problem.Zhou Rui often walked around outside, and also heard that Xu Yan once treated the emperor's illness.Another one is that Xu Yan is an outsider, and he has been in the capital for a short time, but he has not encountered any troubles, which is unusual in itself.Zhou Rui didn't know what to do, and he didn't want to do such a thing, but he dared not disobey Mrs. Wang's order.

Zhou Rui's family sent him out, and seeing him like that, they couldn't help scolding: "What are you afraid of! The imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital have not treated many nobles? But in case of accidents, whether to behead or beheaded, to be imprisoned or imprisoned, you just need to use snacks to deal with it." It's done, outsiders can only applaud. Besides, if you don't do it, will you still have an errand in the mansion?"

Zhou Rui also made sense.

Zhou Rui didn't go to Huichuntang himself, but spent money to find someone to do it.He inquired around the street, and someone mentioned a rogue named Ni Er, nicknamed Drunken King Kong, who specializes in heavy debts and spends his idle money in gambling halls, so he is a suitable candidate.Unexpectedly, when Zhou Rui found this person, the other party heard that he was looking for bad luck, but he refused, saying that he would not do this job, and introduced someone else to Zhou Rui.

This is also a market rogue, tall and thin, with a bitter face, known as the third master of suffering.Mr. Ku also knew about Huichuntang, but this place was not his territory, so he was not familiar with it. Seeing that Zhou Rui had given him a lot of money and he was doing business for the Duke's mansion, he accepted it.

Early in the morning, Huichuntang received the most consultations. Xu Yan didn't go to the clinic and sat with another doctor, Chen He.Tao Shuobai had nothing to do, so he helped to grab the medicine. At first, shopkeeper Li was worried that he would make a mistake, but he saw that his hands were sharp, faster than him, and accurate.

Shopkeeper Li couldn't help but praised: "Mr. Tao thinks it's because of his family background. Are you a family friend with the boss?"

"It is." No wonder outsiders think so, Ken and Xu Yan partnered to open a medical clinic, and they are familiar with medicinal materials, so they look like insiders.Some people even guessed which powerful family he was from, that's why the Huichuntang was opened in such a stable manner, there was not even a rascal who came to beg for money.

At the beginning when Xu Yan Zhangluo opened the shop, there were naturally provocative things. Xu Yan planned to go to the countryside to do as the Romans did, but those rascals saw that he was soft and soft, and he was a stranger, so they opened their mouths like a lion, which annoyed Xu Yan.No one saw how he did it, and those rogues fell ill when they got home, ouch, they were in pain, and the doctors couldn't tell.I don't know who thought of Xu Yan, and begged his family to pull him to Huichun hall with a cart, kowtowed and begged, Xu Yan poured a dose of medicine, and he would be fine.

After that, no one came to find trouble. This doctor Xu is different from ordinary doctors. He is very ruthless and can't find any loopholes.These rogues also cherish their lives, fearing that one day they will annoy people again and be poisoned to death silently.Earlier, they still had small thoughts, but since Xu Yan became famous and went to and from noble mansions, these people completely gave up their minds.

Although the medical hall was busy, it was orderly and there was no noise.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion and crying in the street, and soon a crowd gathered in front of the gate of Huichun Hall. Two people were carrying a door panel. On the panel lay a man with a white cloth on his body. The gate was blocked, and another tall and thin man knelt there, crying loudly.

"My mother, my miserable mother, why did you abandon your son, my mother!"

At this time, those who watched the excitement guessed it. Pulling a dead person to block the entrance of the medical hall must have something to do with the medical hall.

Naturally, Xu Yan also saw it, and waited until the patient at hand had finished the consultation, prescribed the prescription, and explained the precautions, then wiped his hands and walked towards the gate.He looked at all three of them, especially the man who was crying loudly. He only heard the sound of crying, but he didn't feel any grief.

With confidence in his mind, Xu Yan kept his expression on: "You said that your mother had an accident after taking the medicine from Huichuntang?"

Mr. Ku raised his neck and said, "That's right! My mother just had a cold at the beginning. The prescription prescribed by Dr. Xu was also caught in Huichuntang. After taking it for a few days, she suddenly disappeared. I know that Huichuntang With the support of noble people, but my mother can't die in vain, Huichuntang must give me an explanation!"

Xu Yan looked calm, and asked him: "Since you said that I prescribed the prescription, what about the prescription?"

Ku Sanye was naturally prepared, and took out the prescription that had been properly collected from his arms, unfolded it and showed it to him in his hand: "Isn't this the prescription prescribed by Doctor Xu?"

Xu Yan glanced at it, and it was indeed his own handwriting, and the prescription on it was indeed for treating a cold.

"It was my prescription." Xu Yan admitted, and everyone was in an uproar, but he walked to the side and squatted down unhurriedly, and caught off guard, he stretched out his hand and lifted the white cloth to look at the dead old woman.

"What are you doing! My mother is dead, you are not allowed to touch her, or I will fight with you!" The third master Ku yelled and rushed over, Xu Yan dodged to the side, the third master Ku did not stop and fell to the ground with a thud fall.

Xu Yan calmed down and said, "You know, if you want to seek medical responsibility, you need not only the prescription, but also the dregs of the medicine. Since you believe that there is something wrong with taking the medicine, you should keep the dregs of the last boiled medicine. where?"

Ku Sanye's complexion changed slightly, his eyes flickered, and he said angrily: "When my mother had an accident, my mind was in turmoil. How could I pay attention to those trivial things. Don't force your words! You are clearly trying to deny that this prescription was prescribed by you. My mother just took the medicine from your family, since you don't admit it, I will go to the lawsuit, I don't believe in the world, and there is no such thing as a blue sky master!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the other two carried the person and left together.

Those who watched the fun also followed, and indeed they went to the Yamen to file a complaint.

Many people think that Huichuntang prescribes the wrong medicine. After all, even the best doctor may not always make mistakes, but there are also some people who are very convinced by Huichuntang, a young doctor, and who knows the details of Ku Sanye. Worried about Xu Yan.

"Doctor Xu, that man is a rascal from the south of the city. He is known as the third master of suffering. There is only one married girl in his family. His mother has died long ago. This man is good at cheating and abducting. He used to scheme against people from other places. Huichuntang is in trouble, I'm afraid the visitor is not kind. Doctor Xu, you have to be careful."

Xu Yan thanked the other party for his kindness, but did not show any panic.

Chen He, Dr. Chen is not as calm as him, Chen He is a few years older than him, and the two have known each other since they were ten years old.Outsiders don't know about Chen He's family background, they just think that he is an ordinary doctor, but in fact, Chen He's grandfather is a judge of the Imperial Palace Hospital, and he is good at small prescriptions. Entered Tai Hospital to work.

From a young age, Chen He heard about the various diseases encountered by his grandfather who treated the doctors, and the disputes between the doctors and the patients were also inevitable. Those ordinary people are fine, and the most difficult to deal with is the powerful family.

Today, Mr. Ku came prepared, maybe there is someone behind him to back him up, they are back in the limelight, indeed arousing the envy and jealousy of their peers, but ordinary people dare not do anything.Even if Chen He had some contacts in his family, he did not dare to take it lightly. The Son of Heaven is full of dignitaries. Didn't the Prince Zhongshun come to visit him not long ago?

"Yanzhi, what are you going to do? According to me, it's better to be prepared. That rogue runs amok in the market, but generally he doesn't like to deal with the government, but that person took the initiative to file a lawsuit. It can be seen..."

"If someone really plots against me, I can't hide. Don't worry, I have an idea." Xu Yan is not lying, it is true that the Ku Sanye is a scoundrel, and it is true that there are people behind him, but they are not doctors, so it is inevitable There was a flaw.When meeting someone who wants to settle things down, he may be able to blackmail a fortune, but he is not willing to be slaughtered easily, besides, what the people behind the scenes are planning is not his money, but his life!

If ordinary people sued, they would have to wait for promotion, but Ku Sanye went to sue, but he was promoted on the same day.Soon a government servant came to take Xu Yan to court.

Tao Shuobai knew that he had a way to deal with it, but he was still worried: "I'll accompany you."

But Xu Yan said: "No need, I have asked Banxia to look for Dai Quan."

Ever since Tu Jing came to the throne, Dai Quan has become the number one eunuch in Daming Palace. Even if the emperor is unsuccessful, it doesn't mean that the officials don't like the popular person in front of the emperor.Under Tu Jing's suggestion, Dai Quan contacted the ministers and dignitaries with peace of mind, and also bought several houses outside, and would come out every month to look around, in fact, to inquire about news outside the palace for Tu Jing.

Outsiders thought that Xu Yan cured Tu Jing's illness at the beginning, but Dai Quan knew it was Tao Shuobai's contribution, and he also knew that this person was a master, and the emperor respected him very much.Don't look at the fact that the emperor seems to have forgotten it to the back of his mind, it's just that he is afraid of the emperor, and before the critical moment, Tu Jing doesn't want to expose Tao Shuobai.

This morning there was a little eunuch who came to deliver something to Tao Shuobai, so Xu Yan knew that Dai Quan had left the palace.

The reason for taking advantage of Dai Quan's power is also to prevent the court from being too biased and tortured into tricks.

As soon as the court was raised, Mr. Ku presented the prepared pleadings, and wept until Xu Yan in Huichun Hall was a quack doctor who ignored human life.Yin Shengtang of Shuntian Mansion had already received the name card and money from Rongguo Mansion, so he just thought of a young doctor, to show Rongguo Mansion some kindness, first detain him, and if someone comes and walks, he will deal with it according to the circumstances.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he was promoted to the hall, he suddenly saw Eunuch Dai appearing in the crowd of onlookers.

Yin Shuntian's heart skipped a beat, he wanted to get up and say hello, but when he saw the other party waving his hand, he obviously didn't want to reveal his identity.Fu Yin remembered that Xu Yan had treated the emperor, and Dai Quan just happened to be here, so why don't he understand?Fu Yin had already made a conclusion in his heart, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, the procedures that should be followed must not be sloppy.

Xu Yan was not afraid when he came to the court, he knelt up straight, but regretted it in his heart, if he knew it earlier, he would go to the examination for juren.At the beginning, he was also young and energetic, and felt that having a fame brought many conveniences and benefits, and he could not kneel before seeing officials, so he took the examination of scholar, but it didn't work in front of the magistrate.That's why he didn't let Tao Shuobai accompany him.

After listening to Mr. Ku's complaint, Fu Yin asked Xu Yan what he had to say.

Xu Yandao: "Your Excellency, let me tell you that Xiaomin has never treated the dead old woman. The prescriptions in this person's hands must have a wrong origin. This house is for treating colds, and this person also said that he went to see a doctor in Huichun Hall half a month ago. The old woman passed away two days ago. However, if you ask for an examination, you will know that the old woman has not been dead for two days, at least four or five days. Because it is cold today, the body will not die so quickly Corruption, but you can still see the abnormality when you look closely. Another thing, the cause of death of this old woman is not a disease, but a trauma. There is residual blood in the back of her head. Death by the back of the brain."

When Xu Yan squatted down at that time, he felt that the smell of the deceased was very strong, it didn't look like he had been dead for two days.Another one, the old woman's hair is combed into a bun, perhaps due to inattentive handling, it got a little messy, and some dark red is mixed with the gray hair.

The time is too short, such words are full of guesswork, but Ku Sanye is not the old lady's relatives, as long as it is exposed a little, Ku Sanye will be in chaos.

The third master Ku is indeed a rascal, but the rascal is afraid of seeing officials. He thought that the Rongguo Mansion would take care of him.Fortunately, he is not stupid, he quickly guessed that Xu Yan is not easy to mess with, and he started to withdraw, how could Xu Yan allow him to leave whenever he wanted.

Xu Yandao: "This person is a rascal in the market. This time may be just to extort money, but it has caused a serious impact on Huichun Hall. Those who don't know will also misrepresent that Xu is a quack doctor who kills people. Xu doesn't care about money, but Huichun The reputation of the hall must not be tarnished, and please let the prefect be the master!"

Someone suddenly asked: "Where did this scoundrel get the corpse? Did he steal it?"

Everyone was amazed that the dead were the most important, and stealing corpses from tombs was a taboo thing, and it was even a violation of the law.

Ku Sanye quickly clarified: "No, no, no, I didn't steal it. This old woman is indeed not my own mother. This is my sister's mother-in-law. She accidentally fell and died in the middle of the night. She is about to stop. Seven days, I, I will borrow and use it."

Fu Yin slapped the gavel, and pronounced the verdict in court——Ku San had twenty sticks for false accusation, and from today onwards, he will wear the shackles for public display for one month.

Xu Yan agrees with this punishment, after all, Mr. Ku is just an errand runner, and now he has shown it to the public for a month, which can be regarded as dispelling unfavorable rumors for Huichuntang.

After retiring from the hall, Dai Quan met Fu Yin, and then ordered the little eunuch to go to Huichun hall.

"Rongguo Mansion?" Xu Yan was really surprised when he learned that Rongguo Mansion had designed this matter, but soon realized it. "It seems that the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion took offense at Jia Yuanchun's death."

What a disaster!

Tao Shuobai's eyes darkened, and her tone was also extremely displeased: "Who is to blame? Jia Yuanchun committed a crime of his own accord! You kindly prescribed the right medicine for her. If you take care of her carefully for a year or so, she will be reconciled if she looks at her. Ordinary people undoubtedly, but she catered to the Third Prince in order not to fall out of favor, and now her whole body is drained of life force and died, which is what she deserves."

Xu Yan sighed: "The second wife felt that her daughter's death was not worth it, and she didn't dare to be dissatisfied with the Third Prince's House, so she picked me as a soft persimmon to bully."

"That's all?" Tao Shuobai didn't think he was so magnanimous.

"There's no need to worry, it's just that I will never go to this Jia's house again." Xu Yan listed the Jia's house as a black household that refused to come and go. As for revenge...

The so-called hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, Wang knew that he would do something to Huichuntang, and if he took revenge, he would not stare at a woman.He remembered that Jia Zheng, the second master of the Rongguo Mansion, had been a fifth-rank member of the Ministry of Industry for many years, and finally got favored because of Jia Yuanchun. The third prince favored his father. Feel the real power.Mrs. Wang is a good-looking person, if Jia Zheng falls back to being a member of the fifth grade Yuanwailang again, she may be too ashamed to go out to eat New Year's wine.

Without bothering the two masters, he went to see Dai Quan in person and gave him the pills he had prepared.

This pill is very rare. I found the prescription from the medical book given by Tao Shuobai. It is a pill for health preservation. If you don’t have a disease, you can dispel impurities in your body and feel refreshed. Taking it for a long time can obviously improve your qi and blood , will also feel as light as a swallow.Before Tu Jing ascended the throne, Xu Yan also presented a health pill in private. Tu Jing had his confidant doctor examine it, and he took it every day. Dai Quan knew it was a good thing.If Xu Yan gave the money, Dai Quan didn't know whether he should accept it, but giving the Yangsheng Pill was nothing more than a refusal.

As for Xu Yan's purpose, Dai Quan said with a smile: "If the other side is troublesome, what Dr. Xu said is easy to handle. Jia Zheng is really pedantic. He doesn't know how to get along with his colleagues. He is rigid and ignorant of general affairs. Miscellaneous families often hear people use this matter as a source of discussion. His Majesty also said that this Jia Zheng is not an official. The Supreme Emperor gave him grace in the face of Rong Guogong. He has not touched it for many years. How do you know him? Will benefit from my daughter."

"Then thank you, old lady."

All ministries are busy at the end of the year, so Jia Zheng is also busy. However, he is not familiar with common affairs. Although he has the help of assistant officials, he still feels like a big head, making mistakes frequently. , I wish I could resign from the official position to hide in peace.Although Jia Zheng is pedantic, he is not stupid. He knows that he doesn't know how to be an official, but he considers himself upright and loyal.

After a few days of various situations, Shangfeng finally got annoyed, confiscated all the affairs in his hands and handed them over to others, but deliberately left him alone.As a result, the busy feet of the workers in the Ministry of Works did not touch the ground, and he sat there alone with nothing to do, looking left and right, but no one answered him, so he had to take out his books to read.

During the year-end official assessment, the minister did not give Jia Zheng any face, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry was not surprised to see Jia Zheng's assessment, and reported it directly to the emperor.

Tu Jing quickly said: "Mr. Rong has made great contributions to the country, and the Supreme Emperor especially cares about the veterans, so there is no need to be too harsh. Since Jia Zheng is not good at common affairs, he should be demoted to Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Industry. After all, it is the Supreme Emperor's kindness at the beginning."

The meaning of this is very clear, if it is not for the sake of Duke Rong's legacy, people like Jia Zheng would never even think about becoming an official.

It was helpless for Tu Jing to deal with it like this. If he really dismissed Jia Zheng as an official, and someone with a heart stabbed him in front of the Supreme Emperor, not only would he be punished, Jia Zheng would still be reinstated as an official, and it would be even more difficult to move in the future.Furthermore, a Jia Zheng is nothing, now is not the time to startle the snake.

But when Jia Zhengguan was demoted to one level, he really felt bad, as if everyone was laughing at him.

Today is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor officially seals the pen, and the ministries also seal, and the Spring Festival begins.

Jia Zheng cleared the table and left the office of the Ministry of Industry with a glow on his back.

"Mr. Zheng!" Someone was waiting outside, but it was Jia Yucun.

"Brother Yucun, this is..." Jia Zheng asked.

Jia Yucun sighed, and said to him, "Don't be discouraged, Mr. Zheng, I've heard about you."

Jia Zheng's complexion darkened, and he said in shame, "It's my fault for the grace."

Jia Yucun shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Why should Zhenggong be like this? You are upright, and you don't know what is right and wrong. Your demotion is because someone deliberately made things difficult for you. If Zhenggong doesn't know who is against you, you might as well ask your wife after you go back. "

"How does this get involved in the cheap?" Jia Zheng became more and more confused.

Jia Yucun refused to say any more, and went ahead.

Full of doubts, Jia Zheng returned home quickly, and immediately came to look for Mrs. Wang.

When Mrs. Wang saw him coming, she hurriedly ordered Jin Chuan Caixia to fetch water, and then came to serve Kuanyi herself.But Jia Zheng waved her hand away, sat down on the kang, and asked sharply in front of the maids: "Mr. Wang, what foolish thing have you done again!"

Mrs. Wang's face was flushed by the scolding, Jin Chuan was busy with the other maids and retreated, Wang's eyes turned red, and she said aggrievedly: "Where did the master get so angry that he made me angry? Even if you want to scold, you have to have a reason, what is the reason? The master always wants me to understand."

Jia Zheng then told what happened today, and said, "Jia Yucun specially reminded me that my demotion is because of you!"

Mrs. Wang was startled, and immediately thought of what happened a few days ago.

Because of Yuan Chun's death, she was full of grief and unwillingness, and most of the reasons for finding the unlucky luck in the Spring Hall were due to anger.I thought that the little Huichun Hall was nothing to be afraid of, but so what if he has treated several nobles?It's not that they treat the nobles full-time. There are many dignitaries in the capital. I don't know how many doctors have treated the nobles.Besides, she insists that her husband's family and her mother's family are all well-off, even the royal family should show some kindness.

How do you know that things are messed up!

However, that matter was only known to Ku Sanye, even Zhou Rui had nothing to do with it, so she didn't take it seriously, and secretly scolded Zhou Rui for not doing things properly.That day she went back to her natal home to beg her elder brother Wang Ziteng, who had always treated the two girls very well, but after hearing about this, he scolded her and forbade her to provoke Hui Chuntang again.

She was still holding back her anger, but Jia Zheng came to ask again, and only then did she realize that Xu Yan actually disdained her wives to fight, and went directly to deal with Jia Zheng.

This really pissed her off!

She has been married to Jia's family for 30 or [-] years, and Jia Zheng has been squatting on the fifth-rank Yuanwai Lang without moving. Whenever there is any banquet in Beijing, she is not willing to go unless she is close. Once she goes, she will sit at the banquet. According to the position of husband and son-in-law, she is a pleasant person from the fifth rank, what is she thrown in the crowd full of concubines and wives?It was not easy for her daughter to be favored, and Jia Zheng was finally promoted by half a level. Even though her imperial order did not change, her face was brightened and her life had hope, but she fell back in less than half a year.She could almost imagine how outsiders would make jokes, and maybe even comfort her, saying that after all, the fate has not changed...

The more Wang thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she felt a rush of anger, and her head became dizzy.

Jia Zheng learned the whole story from her mouth, and smashed the tea bowl angrily: "Stupid woman! Stupid woman! Concubine concubine is destined to be like this, so how can I blame the doctor? The medicine prescribed by Dr. Xu has already worked, and it is her." I don’t know how to take care of myself, so who can blame me? Besides, if you marry and follow your husband, the Three Princes’ Palace won’t hold you accountable, so what are you making troubles about? I’m afraid you’re going to hinder the eyes of the Three Princes’ Palace. How unreasonable it is! Ignorant fool!”

Say it and walk away.

Wang's heart hurts with anger.Jia Zheng's swearing voice was not concealed, and the servants outside probably heard it now, and she felt extremely ugly, and hated Jia Zheng in her heart.Wronged and resentful, she couldn't help crying on the kang table: "My Yuan'er, my poor Yuan'er..."
