Gui Yuan

Over there Wei Yao entered the palace, Ning Qing, Fei Tian, ​​and Xiao Yuan rode in a carriage to the gate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The guards recognized Ning Qing and welcomed them in. After waiting for a while, Huang Jun ran over with a smile on his face. Ying: "Young Master Ning, what brought you here? I heard that the prince and his party just returned to the imperial capital today."

It seems that Huang Jun is living comfortably these days. Two catties of flesh have grown on his already round face, and his whole body is becoming more and more like a ball, leaving him with a pleasing face.

"Isn't it? I came to your place as soon as I arrived in the imperial capital." Ning Qing smiled.

"The lower officials are not very scared." Huang Jun thought, "It must be no good to come to the Ministry of Punishments as soon as you return to the imperial capital from a long distance."

Only then did he realize that there were two people beside Ning Qing, and one of them looked familiar. After staring at it for a long time, he said in surprise, "This, this is not..."

Fei Tian stepped forward and said, "That's right, I still remember the days when I lived in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Master Huang will not forget it?"

"Uh, it's all trivial, so don't worry about it." Huang Jun smiled awkwardly.

Fei Tian was bullied a lot in the Ministry of Criminal Justice last time, and Ning Qing was also responsible for putting him in jail, so he deliberately let him vent his anger.After all, Huang Jun is the second-in-command of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, so he can't lose face to his master too much in other people's territory. Seeing that it's almost done, Ning Qing said: "Master Huang, the prisoners sent by Xingchuan should have come to you a few days ago, right?"

"Ah? Yes, I arrived three or four days ago. There are endless prison cars and more than 100 people. Where can the lower officials go? We can only send all the original prisoners to the government office. Five or six people from Xingchuan One room will be closed first, and the cell will be vacated when His Majesty decides how to execute it."

Huang Jun only dared to say a few sour words, how could he have the guts to make him face Ning Qing.

Ning Qing didn't mind what he complained about, but he noticed one thing: "My lord said that there are only prisoners from Xingchuan in the cell?"

"Yes."

Ning Qing finally let go of his heart, and exchanged a glance with Xiao Yuan: "That's good."

"What's the matter?" Huang Jun couldn't figure out what charade he was playing, and said aggrievedly, "By the way, this is not the only thing to worry about. I don't know if it was rained during the escort on the road. Yesterday, the guards reported that several people were infected. The wind and cold, the high fever persists, and the next official is about to send someone to have a look."

Hearing this, Ning Qing and the other three looked at each other, knowing that the situation was not good.Xiao Yuan said: "Where is the cell? I'll just go and see."

"Who is this?" Huang Jun looked at Ning Qing and asked.

"Oh, this is the military doctor of the Northern Xinjiang Army, my grandfather's friend, Mr. Xiao." "It's a pleasure to meet you." Huang Jun bowed and said, "The group of death row prisoners are so troublesome to your son, I asked someone to find a doctor at random." that is."

Xiao Yuan said: "They are very likely to be infected with fever, which cannot be cured by ordinary doctors."

"Fever epidemic? What fever epidemic?"

Fei Tian watched the excitement and explained without hesitation: "It's the plague, it will spread to people, Master Huang, you have to be careful."

At first, Huang Jun stared at him blankly, as if he couldn't understand what he was talking about. After a while, he came to his senses, his face wrinkled into a ball, and he pulled Ning Qing and said, "Oh, you and the father-in-law It’s really my ancestor, who sent it to me?”

Ning Qing laughed at first, then stopped laughing instantly, and took two steps away to look at Huang Jun: "Master Huang, you are so sad and happy, don't you also have a disease?"

When Huang Jun heard this, he was frightened into sickness even if he was not sick, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly: "No, it won't be."

Ning Qing played tricks on Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan understood, rubbed his chin pretending to be deep and said: "Yes, the symptoms of this disease vary from person to person, Mr. Huang was clearly fine just now, but suddenly he seemed to be a different person , Could it be a new symptom?"

Huang Jun was really flustered by what he said so seriously, and he had to try his best to pretend to be calm: "No, no, I was shocked for a moment. Mr. Xiao, right, my officer, oh no, my subordinates My mother has a child, please make sure to diagnose me."

Xiao Yuan and Ning Qing looked at each other with a smile, and said: "Naturally. Sir, please tell me to go down. All the guards who have been in contact with the prisoner will gather in the hall, and I will diagnose you first."

"Okay." Huang Jun hurriedly asked his hands to call for someone.

Taking advantage of this moment, Xiao Yuan said to Ning Qing: "I have to see the prisoner for a while, and I won't be able to get away for a while, why don't you go back home first."

Fei Tian echoed, "Yeah, Brother Lan Yu hasn't had a good rest these days, go back and rest earlier, I'll stay here and help Young Master Xiao."

Ning Qing was moved, and he said, "Also, arrange the board and lodging, we have to go to the government to bother you after we're done."

The emotion disappeared immediately, and Ning Qing snorted lightly: "You're welcome, I understand, then I'll go first."

Ning Qing left the carriage to the two of them and walked back by himself.Standing in front of the vermilion gate of Duke Anguo's mansion, I feel a bit at ease in my heart as a wanderer returning home.He smiled slightly and walked into the mansion.

Walking halfway, I ran into Lin Rong on the long corridor. Lin Rong was stunned for a long time before weeping loudly, "My lord!"

"Young master, you are finally back. The little one misses you so much. You must know that you will be gone for a month or two, and the villain will follow anyway."

"Really?" Ning Qing looked down and landed on the plate of shiny braised duck legs in his hand, and asked suspiciously, "I don't think so."

Lin Rong smiled embarrassedly, "I still have to eat this meal."

Ning Qing snorted, snatched the plate from his hand, and walked towards the hall.Lin Rong looked at his empty hand for a while before realizing it, and chased after him: "My lord, don't walk so fast!"

Ning Qing wondered when Lin Rong became so unruly, his young master came back after so long and he still only thought about a plate of braised duck legs, if it didn't work out, he would have to starve him a few times.

He stepped into the hall with one foot, and was stunned as soon as he raised his head. Ning Kecheng was sitting in the hall, drinking tea calmly.Lin Rong finally caught up, and whispered when he saw this, "Master Xiang just came."

Ning Qing took a breath: "Then you didn't say it earlier."

He stuffed the braised duck leg to Lin Rong, and said in a low voice, "Take it to my room, don't steal it."

Lin Rong nodded in agreement like a chicken pecking at rice, and silently backed away with the tray in his hand.

Ning Qing turned around and changed his face. He restrained his arrogance towards Lin Rong, and said with a smile, "Father, why would you want to come to the Duke's Mansion? I knew that my son would go with you just now."

"You disappeared in a blink of an eye just now, but I want to go with you." Ning Kecheng gently blew on the hot tea, and the hot air slowly diffused away.

"Really, my son didn't pay attention." Ning Qing smiled awkwardly.

"I've been waiting here for a while, where did you go when you returned home?"

"The father-in-law asked me to go to the Ministry of punishment."

"Yeah." Ning Kecheng put down the teacup, pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that you and Wei Yaoguan get along well, as you did back then, and you followed him to the southern border without saying a word. I sent a letter to plead guilty, and I don’t think you mean it.”

Ning Qing knew that his father was really angry this time, so he was very obedient, walked carefully to Ning Kecheng's side, and always paid attention to his eyes.

"My son really knows that I was wrong. If there is another time, you just use family law to beat me, and my son will never hide." Seeing that Ning Kecheng's expression was a little loose, he said quickly, "This time, my son thought about the vast territory of the Great Wei, The scenery is not the same everywhere, if you stick to only one place, wouldn’t it be a waste of money? You also know that your son is passionate about this matter, so you didn’t have too many scruples, and resolutely followed.”

Ning Kecheng glanced at him and asked, "Then you've been away for so long, how do you feel?"

"The borderlands are full of chaos. People who have been at ease in the imperial capital for a long time can hardly imagine the sufferings of the people in the frontier. This time when I went to Xingchuan, my son felt sympathy for the refugees, but he also knew that the symptoms were not the root cause. He wanted to spread the royal grace throughout the land. It is not easy to go everywhere in Wei, but only when the top and bottom work together, the people below will be well-being."

Ning Kecheng looked at Ning Qing, for a moment he forgot that this was his son, as if he could see his intelligence and alertness when he was a teenager. At this moment, Ning Kecheng vaguely felt that he was deliberately hiding his edge like that before, But there will always be a day when the bright pearl is grayed out.

Ning Kecheng felt a little emotional in his heart, and was fascinated by the thought for a moment, and Ning Qing called him before he regained his composure.

"Well, it's good that you have your own opinion." Ning Ke stood up, looking like she was planning to leave, he said, "Next time you don't have to worry about my disagreement, just let me know before you leave. That's it."

"Yes." Instead of the bloody storm he imagined, he passed the test easily, which was beyond his expectations. He graciously sent his father out of the house and said with a smile, "Father, go slowly."

After several days of driving, Ning Qing was covered with dust on his body. Ning Qing turned around and went to the bathtub to take a bath. She was a little hungry amidst the steam, and then remembered the plate of braised duck legs. After changing her clothes, she happily went to the bedroom. It was an empty plate of bones, and the culprit, Wei Yao, was stuffing the last piece of meat into his mouth, and at the end he licked his tongue and rolled the sauce on his mouth into his mouth.Ning Qing was furious, and stared at Lin Rong, Lin Rong silently lip-synced aggrievedly: I dare not persuade.

inability!

Ning Qing sat down next to Wei Yao, and was about to ask a question, when he heard him say: "This plate of stewed duck legs is cold, I asked the kitchen to make a new one, and serve it with the rice. You grab it."

Hearing this, anger turned into a smile at the corner of his mouth, Ning Qing said: "Zhao Zhuo is still careful."

Wei Yao took the handkerchief Lin Rong handed over and wiped his mouth, then said calmly, "You've become slow."

Ning Qing smiled implicitly: "Thank you, thank you."

Wei Yao thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty punished me with a three-month confinement, effective tomorrow. It's up to you whether you stay here or go back to Ningfu."

The emperor really couldn't hold his breath, and he was quite quick when he saw a needle.Ning Qing thought about it and said: "What does it look like when you go back? The garden is so beautiful, and the open space behind the mountain is enough for horse racing. Could it be that the huge Duke's mansion is just a decoration? Besides, I'm not alone, why not?" of."

"Do you really want to stay?"

"Of course, you forgot that you said that you want to teach me how to practice martial arts and horseback riding? Who can I ask to teach me when I leave?" Ning Qingqing took it for granted.

He was about to say something, but Fei Tian heard his voice first: "Grandpa, brother Lan Yu, we are hungry, can we eat?"

Xiao Yuan stood in front of the house and said: "I have checked the pulse, and only two or three people showed symptoms. Fortunately, the guards didn't get infected at the beginning of the disease."

"Master Huang was frightened to death, and immediately separated them, leaving only two or three people to bring in meals at regular intervals." Fei Tian couldn't help laughing when he thought of Huang Jun's greedy life and fear of death.

"That's good." Ning Qing stepped forward to put Fei Tian's shoulders, "Are you hungry? Let's go to the dining room to eat."

"Okay, okay." Fei Tian was led a few steps by him, and asked, "Why do you feel that you are so kind to me today?"

"Isn't this going to be grounded tomorrow?" Ning Qing said, "You can be grounded with me after this meal."

"Oh." Fei Tian realized after walking out the door, "Ah! What did you say? No way?"

...

The sound of the two of them fighting gradually became indistinct, Wei Yao raised the corners of his mouth slightly and got up, walked in front of Xiao Yuan and said, "Let's go."

Xiao Yuan looked at his back, raised his eyebrows, and murmured: "It's weird."

Then he followed Wei Yao closely.
