It was the fifteenth month of June.
The heat of early summer slowly engulfed the entire Greencloud Continent. volume
Li Gang left a farmhouse, bowed his head as he packed up his medical kit, and warned his mother, "Do not touch water for seven days, change the medicine three times a day for the wound. You will need to boil three bowls of water into a bowl of medicine, drink the medicine, and then use the rice. Illness
Han smiled merrily. "It's all thanks to you today. Otherwise, Old Liu's daughter would have been dead for sure. You even exempted them from the medical fee, you really are a good person." volume
Li said, "Even if I didn't come, Miss Liu wouldn't have died. I don't know, the injury wasn't serious. I just focused on my face and watched to scare people."
"Old Man Liu wants to exchange his daughter for ten taels of silver to marry his son. If the Liu family's daughter is disgraced, then the ten taels of silver will disappear. When that happens, Old Man Liu will probably kick her out. You saved her life, didn't you?"
When Rong Li heard this, he frowned.
The old man said, "The Huizhou is plagued by plague, the Land of Gongzhou is moving, and the Land of Danzhou is drought. In the north of the village, we haven't been living a good life for the past two years, and the crops are getting drier and drier. It's not just Old Man Liu, but many people in the village are selling off their girls."
Rong Li didn't say anything. The drought in Dingzhou was one of the reasons why he came to Dingzhou to seek a doctor. The people of Dingzhou had recently been having a difficult time. Old
Han lowered his voice again and said, "I heard that this drought is a misfortune from the heavens. The heavens aren't happy with His Majesty being the emperor today, and he's giving our citizens a hard time …" "
"Great sir." Rong Li said unhappily: "It's best not to say such disrespectful things." Old
Han smiled ingratiatingly. "The doctor won't go to the officials' court to denounce my old man, will he?" volume
Li said with a straight face, "Of course not, but if you keep telling people this, it will leak out. It's not impossible for the government to catch you and make an example out of you." Old
Han became frightened. "I was just spouting nonsense. That's what everyone else said … "Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. I won't say anymore." posterior
On the road to the head, the old man had indeed calmed down, but Rong Li's expression did not look too good. Ten
Five years ago, when Rong Jindong had just ascended to the throne, rumors of the tyrannical and cruel new emperor had spread here and there. After settling down with great difficulty, these past two years, due to countless disasters in various places, the saying "The heavens are ungrateful, the great roads cannot tolerate" had once again become popular. This
Some of the words were started off with the spread of the Ox-nose Taoists. They used the name of the saint to swindle others and used the name of the Son of Heaven to spread the word. Later on, seeing that the natural disasters in the north continued, these explanations were slowly accepted by the people, and in the end, the news spread to the streets and alleys, as if a drop of rain had fallen somewhere and a grain of food had been taken away. They were all pots of Emperor, and it was the heavens that saw that the emperor was not good, which was why the citizens were lacking this much.
However, the common folk were all worried about the weight of one jin and a half taels of silver. For the past two years, Rong Li had traveled all over the place and heard the voices of the common folk. He was also increasingly impressed with the "The Son of Heaven is not so easy".
When they returned to the capital from the village, Rong Li went straight to the Qingle Hall. At that time, the white-haired Wei Chou was instructing Xiaoyao to cut the medicine.
Rong Li put down the medicine box, rolled up his sleeves, and also entered the counter to busy himself.
After being busy for a while, Wei Chou suddenly came over and stood beside Rong Li.
Rong Li looked at him in confusion. Wei
He took out a letter.
When Rong Li saw the signature on the letter, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What happened?" Wei
"This was sent over by the capital city a few years ago and it was written to me by Zhong Ziyu. We always write once every two months and I haven't returned to the capital this year, neither have I seen him. However, this letter of his has already been broken for six to seven months."
Rong Li frowned, "So?" Wei
"When you left the capital, did you see him?" Is he all right? "
Rong Li lowered his head to fix the medicine, "What am I supposed to do to him? He's perfectly fine in the prison. Besides being ugly, who in the family would have nothing better to do to find him?" Wei
"I don't care about him during the new year …" volume
Li's attitude was cold and indifferent. "If you're worried, then send a letter to Ugly." Wei
"I asked, but she never replied. I heard that she is not in the capital right now."
Rong Li also remembered that the ugly seemed to be gone.
In the middle of January, after Gu Xi had left the capital, in the middle of February, she had followed the Zhenge Sect's 3rd Battalion and went to An Prefecture to work with the Anzhou Prefecture overseer on a cross-border trafficking case. Currently, she should still be in An Prefecture and had not returned to the capital yet.
Rong Li said: "Zhong Ziyu will be safe and sound in prison, if there's anything wrong, someone will always send you a letter. On the list of relatives, isn't that her name? Even if I die, I will send the bones to you. "
Wei Chou arrogantly shook his hand, "Pah pah, don't say such unlucky words. He's neither sick nor afflicted, what kind of corpse do you want to give him?"
Then what are you worried about? "
Wei Chou was worried. He stared at Rong Li and said, "Aren't you going back to the capital next month? When you get to the capital, help me take a look. No matter how bad it is, send me a letter and let me know if he's all right. "
The grandmother said that he was unfilial at such an age, and that he ended up nagging a lot, which probably means that your uncle didn't marry because he was in bad health and was afraid of harming a girl from a good family, but he was strong, so why not? In the end, it was an order for him to return to the capital before the middle of the year. At that time, she would arrange for a few girls to be his blind date! volume
Li took pride in his elders, and finally agreed. Well, just last month, his grandmother had sent him a letter, reminding him that he must arrive at the capital before August!
Since he had to return, it was not impossible for him to visit Zhong Ziyu. volume
Li casually replied, which could be considered as him agreeing to Wei Chou's request.
… …. turn
In July, Rong Li left for the capital. On the nineteenth of July, he arrived at the capital in advance. external
His grandmother came from Fengzhou and didn't arrive until the beginning of August. Since Rong Li had come back early, he decided to go to the Qingle Hall for medical treatment.
After sitting for two days, he remembered that he had to go see Zhong Ziyu, so he went to Jing zhao Yin Yamen.
In the end, he was told that Zhong Ziyu could not visit him. volume
Li did not understand, and tried to pull some strings, "We can always visit him, but why must he suddenly appear? He's not a condemned prisoner."
At first, Zhong Ziyu was a prisoner facing death, but she was obedient and had good luck. She managed to catch up with a few waves of amnesty, but now her sentence had already been reduced to 21 years. He had been in prison since the start of the new year, and had been in prison for 15 years. jailhouse
The Head of the Guards shook his head. "Although he is not a death sentence criminal, he is a felon and cannot be visited."
Rong Li frowned. He wanted to ask more, but Lord Hu, the newly appointed Jing zhao Yin, rushed over in a hurry. volume
Li saw this Lord Hu and bowed to him.
He came over and glanced at the head of the prison. Only after the head of the prison nodded to him did he heave a sigh of relief, and smiled at Rong Li: "Master wants to see Zhong Ziyu, he committed a huge mistake and was sentenced to death. Today, she is not allowed to visit, and the young prefecture lord of the Duke's Mansion knows about this matter." ugliness
Ugly knew, but Ugly didn't say anything about it. Press
Logically speaking, if something were to happen to Zhong Ziyu, Chou Chou would have told the entire family, and for some reason, this little girl was especially close to that surnamed Zhong. volume
Li was slightly displeased. "Then Mister Hu might be able to tell me what mistake he committed."
"This... It's really hard to say. " As Lord Hu spoke, he stepped in front of Rong Li and gestured at him to send him off, "Crown Prince, please don't make things difficult for this official." volume
Li's face was sullen and he didn't move.
Lord Hu gritted his teeth, "If the crown prince really wants to know, wouldn't it be better to go to the palace and ask the emperor?"
This matter actually had something to do with the emperor?
Rong Li was curious.
