Regent sucks cats daily

Chapter 52 I can't do without Duke Ding

Xiao Jumao had to jump down to the pond to cool down today. After coming up, he didn't take a hot bath, didn't dry his hair, and blew the wind again. He thought it was nothing at first, but after staying in Tan Shiguan's arms for a while, he felt dizzy. fainted.

He listened to his breathing and thought he was asleep, but when he returned to Yunxiao Villa, he realized that something was wrong with Xiao Jumao.

The breath is hot, and the body is also a little hot, and I can't wake up when I scream. Is it sick?

Thinking of this, he quickly turned around and hurried towards the courtyard where Zhou Shuo lived.

It was Yin time at this time, Zhou Shuo was in a deep sleep, the quilt was thrown off, and then he was awakened by a shaking.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a tall black figure standing beside the bed. Before he could scream, he heard the black figure say, "Yuan Bao is sick, get up and show him."

Zhou Shuo's heart was full of waves, but under the threat of Tan Shiguan, he still had to get up.

"You don't even light a lamp, how can I diagnose and treat it?" He rubbed his eyes, yawned a lot, and ordered deliberately.

Sure enough, Tanshi Guanwenyan immediately went to light the lamp, and the room suddenly brightened.

As it was about Yuanbao, Tan Shiguan was naturally much more anxious than him, Zhou Shuomei thought, he would definitely do whatever he was asked to do later.

"Yuanbao seems to have a fever." Tan Shiguan held Xiao Jumao in front of him.

Zhou Shuo looked intently, and saw the normally proud and lazy cat nestling in Tan Shiguan's arms, eyes closed, looking quite distressing.

Zhou Shuo took out the medicine box and pointed to the couch beside him, "Let it go, I'll take a closer look."

Tan Shi watched it, Zhou Shuo looked at it for a while, and said: "It should be a fever, I'll get you some medicine, you go boil it and drink it, and it will be fine when you sweat."

Tan Shiguan also saw other people with fever, and basically healed like this, so he picked up Xiao Jumao, took the medicine, and went straight to the dining room.

He went out to join the army when he was young, so his ability to take care of himself is not weak, and the trivial matter of making medicine is easy for him.

He put Xiao Jumao into the front of his clothes and put it on his chest. Then he lit a fire, covered the outside with his hands, approached the stove, and absorbed the heat while boiling the medicine. Zhou Shuo said, sweating is the best.

It takes a long time to boil the medicine with a slow fire, and Tan Shiguan has been guarding by the stove, the back of his hand protecting Xiao Jumao has been burned red, and sweat has grown on his body. Sweating slightly, this is a little relieved.

When it was Maoshi, the sky was getting brighter, and the medicine was boiled at noon. Tan Shiguan poured the medicine juice into a small bowl and brought it back to the bedroom. When the medicine juice became warm, he called Xiao Jumao softly.

Xiao Jumao's mind was very dazed, he only felt that the fire was burning all over his body, and the fire was still continuous, he couldn't help but push hard, the nails in the pads protruded without knowing it, as if he scratched something.

In a daze, he heard someone calling himself, the voice was nice and gentle, he opened his eyes a crack, and saw the man's graceful chin.

As soon as he opened his mouth, a spoonful of pungent medicinal juice was poured into his mouth, Xiao Jumao almost didn't cry out in pain, but his cat's face was tangled up, and his little paw scratched angrily to feed the medicine people.

A sick cat is irrational, he feels upset and scratches anyone, but the medicine feeder is still tirelessly forcing him to swallow it, and he feels his tongue is rotten.

"Hey, it will be fine after drinking the medicine." The man's steady voice rang in his ears, Xiao Jumao listened dazedly, wondering whether he had forgotten something very important?

correct!Ding Ran!

His heart was shaken, and he quickly tried to open his eyes, stretched out his weak claws, and waved, looking for the man's hand.But Tan Shiguan was holding the bowl in one hand and the thin spoon in the other, and he couldn't move away at all.

"Drink the medicine first."

If I drink any more, I'm going to pass out, what else can I say?With a sudden effort, he turned over and pulled onto Tan Shiguan's arm, staring at him with misty eyes.

Tan Shiguan stopped.

Xiao Jumao scratched his arm with his fingernails, after looking at it for a while, his eyes were fixed, and he said in a deep voice: "I see, you drink the medicine and rest first, and leave this matter to me."

Although Xiao Jumao felt the pain of the medicine, he also wanted to get better as soon as possible, so he obediently swallowed it.

After drinking the medicine, his mind became even more drowsy. His Majesty the cat fell asleep directly in Tan Shiguan's arms. Tan Shiguan carefully put him under the bed, got up and left the bedroom.

Jiangnan Water and Land Division.

Ding Teng sat behind the case, playing with the exquisite and beautiful Yu Ruyi in his hand, looked at the middle-aged man with a serious and fierce face in front of him, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Master Cai is really generous this time!"

The man solemnly said: "Master Cai said, as long as Mr. Ding likes it, the rumors are a little tight recently, please work harder, Mr. Ding."

Ding Teng put Yu Ruyi into the box full of treasures on the case, and after a moment of silence, Fang said: "You also said that the limelight is tight, and I can't commit crimes against the wind. Moreover, law enforcement breaks the law, and the crime is aggravated. How can I rest assured?"

A sinister smile appeared on the man's face, "Master Ding, it's not like you don't know about Jiangnan. There are people behind you, what are you afraid of?"

Ding Teng's eyes fell on the box of treasures, and he said in a deep voice, "Private salt and iron can be used privately, but Yincao can't."

"Master Ding, in the current situation, what Master Cai needs most is Yincao. You can't lose the chain here. Don't forget that your daughter is still in the Cai Mansion."

Ding Teng's hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched violently, he was really useless, he was sorry for his daughter, and for the people in Jiangnan.If he hadn't cared about his daughter's life, he would have given himself up long ago, but the officials in the south of the Yangtze River are protecting each other, and the capital is still surrounded by huge forces. He is only a small director, how can he fight against them?Let's hold them down first.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a commotion outside the government office, some shouted and cursed, and some seemed to have smashed public property, the yamen servant immediately came to report, and said in a panic outside the door: "My lord, someone has come to destroy the place!"

Ding Teng stood up abruptly, put away the jewels on the table, then strode towards the door, opened it, and before the people behind him could ask questions, he left the room without hesitation, and a burly man walked in front of him, with a hulking back. , with a big beard covering his face, wearing a general's official uniform, holding a big knife, looking fierce.

"Are you Ding Teng?" the big man asked in a rough voice.

"It's the lower official. If you dare to ask the general, is the commander of the Jiangnan garrison Mr. Xing?" Ding Teng said politely and respectfully.

Xing Kai grabbed his collar and wanted to lift him up, "Let me ask you, is Liwan Pier under your control?"

"Return, return to the jurisdiction of the subordinate officials." Ding Teng was almost out of breath.

Xing Kai became even angrier when he heard the words, "You're in charge of the motherfucker, and you're going to act like that? A group of people's eyes have gone up to the sky, you and I come here!"

Ding Teng couldn't help asking: "General Xing, what happened?"

Xing Kai snorted coldly, and the lieutenant behind him immediately said: "Master Ding, the camp is short of food and grass, we bought some from the canal, and when we arrived at Liwan Wharf, we were about to go ashore, but we were hit by some other cargo ships, and the loss Quite a lot, but the other party complained first, saying it was our own fault, and then started fighting with our brothers. No, when the general heard about this, he was naturally furious and came to seek an explanation from the adults. "

Ding Teng grimaced, "General Xing, this matter is beyond our control, why don't you go to the magistrate?"

Xing Kai directly dragged him away, "I don't care, the magistrate will look for it, and you will look for it too, come here for me!"

Ding Teng looked back at Cai Li's subordinates behind him, wondering: "General Xing, it is enough to have the magistrate, and it is useless to go down."

Xing Kai suddenly let go of his collar, his eyes were cold and cold, "Whether the goods can go to the dock or not, it's up to you, right?"

When Ding Teng caught his gaze, he was startled suddenly, did something serious happen to the pier?

He straightened his collar, with a solemn face, "Please, General."

Xing Kai snorted again, and gave him a look of "you are sensible".

Ding Teng summoned a few yamen servants to follow, and Xing Kai also took his adjutant and some soldiers, and walked to the Liwan pier together.

"This is?" Xing Kai took a few steps, as if he just noticed the person behind Ding Teng.

"Villain Feng Hao, I have met General Xing." Feng Hao immediately saluted Xing Kai.

Xing Kai waved his hand, "Are you here to find Ding Teng to do something? Another day, he will go with me to Liwan Wharf. I'm afraid he won't be back for a while."

"The villain knows, the general and the adults go slowly." Feng Hao stood at the head of the water and land office, and saw the group of people walking farther and farther, his brows were tightly frowned. He remembered that there was a batch of goods that were about to disembark at the Liwan Wharf today. Is it such a coincidence?He has to go back and report to Master Cai.

Turning around to leave, he didn't notice the two people following behind him.

When Ding Teng followed Xing Kai to the Liwan Wharf, the prefect Wu Kui was already waiting there.It stands to reason that if such a small dispute occurs, it would be enough to send a few yamen servants to deal with it. Wu Kui didn't want to come in person at all, but he couldn't afford to provoke Xing Kai's violent temper, and he couldn't beat him again and again, so he had to hold back aggrievedly. coming.

"I have met Mr. Wu." Ding Teng cupped his hands.

Wu Kui snorted as a promise, and looked at Xing Kai with his small eyes, "I said General Xing, this is a trivial matter, you can negotiate it over, why bother to make such a big fuss?" Massage stone, asked impatiently.

The pier has been surrounded by soldiers brought by Xing Kai, and some government servants are standing by. The soldiers who fought with each other and the long-term workers who helped load and unload the goods all bowed their heads in silence, and the containers on the pier were tilted. It was out of shape, and there were still several floating on the river, which looked extremely chaotic.

"There are so many people under my command waiting to eat, and now it's all over, all of them have been thrown into the river. If I don't ask you, who will I look for?" Xing Kai said angrily.

"You just let them pay some money, won't it be enough?" Wu Kui really felt that Xing Kai was looking for trouble.

Xing Kai's lieutenant general said: "Master Wu, there is not much rice in the camp, and a large group of us are waiting for the rice to be cooked. Even if we lose money, we have to buy new grain. Brothers can't wait." ah."

"Oh, that's it." Wu Kui also understood in his heart that the demand for rice grain in the military camp is indeed huge, and the rice shops in Jiangling City can't sell so much rice at one time, not to mention that so many people in the city need to buy rice. , So all along, the rice and food for the military camp have been transported from outside with their own military expenses. If they pay money, it really can't solve the urgent need.

The scene fell silent, and Wu Kui didn't know what to do. He couldn't open the granary and feed the soldiers first, right?

At this time, the lieutenant spoke again.

"We saw 'rice' written on the outside of the cargo boxes on their ships, and thought that they would pay us as much as we dumped. Master Wu, do you think this is unreasonable?"

Wu Kui's eyes lit up, "Okay!" He fixed his eyes and saw that the hulls of the ships that overturned Xing Kai and the others did indeed show that they were transporting rice, "Then let them pay for it?"

As soon as his words fell, the expressions of the long-term workers who unloaded the cargo were obviously a little bit wrong.

The deputy general sneered in his heart, and continued: "The general also thinks that this is the best solution, so don't delay anyone, but they disagree with life and death, and we can't use force, so we can only ask Mr. Wu to make the decision."

Wu Kui: "..." You dragged me over forcibly, and you still say you don't need to force it?

"Why don't you agree?" He couldn't get angry with Xing Kai, but he didn't need to be polite to a few permanent workers.

"Don't be angry, my lord. The little ones are just unloading the master's house. We can't make decisions about the master's things. They will grab them when they come up. We can only stop them with all our strength." Changgong felt aggrieved in his words.

"Who is your master?"

"The little ones were hired by the Cai Mansion."

Wu Kui felt a "thud" in his heart, if it was the Cai Mansion, maybe he really couldn't give it. If others don't know, how can he still not know some things about the Cai Mansion?

"Okay, then find your master's house!" Xing Kai summoned the soldiers and told him to go to Cai's mansion.

"Wait!" Wu Kui stopped, "General Xing, how about this, you go back to the barracks first, as for the rice, I will send someone to the barracks in time, why bother?"

Xing Kai was puzzled, "Where did you get so much? Brothers are waiting for delicious rice at night!"

Wu Kui smiled reassuringly, "General Xing, don't worry, I will do what I say, and I won't let you go hungry."

Xing Kai sighed, "Forget it, since Mr. Wu also thinks that they should pay compensation, then you can be a witness. You see, our boat capsizes, and the ones on their boats are just right, or you can make the decision now. These are all ours, if it continues, it will be dark." He said, before Wu Kui could react, he beckoned someone to carry the cargo box.

Before Wu Kui could stop him, a soldier reached out and lifted up a cargo box, but when he lifted it up, he found that it was very light, and he immediately became furious, "This **** is playing with people! It is said that it is filled with rice. , can rice be so light? Are you kidding us? Or is there only a little rice in it?"

Wu Kui opened his mouth and was about to stop drinking, when they heard a sound of "Ka Da", the cargo box was pried open by them, and they stretched their necks to look inside, with a "huh", they looked at Xing Kai, "General! thing!"

Xing Kai strode forward, glanced at it, and ordered the soldiers to open all their cargo boxes with a cold face.

Those long-term workers have been shaken like chaff.

Wu Kui's face suddenly turned blue, and the stone in his hand turned faster.

Ding Teng stared blankly, and finally understood why Xing Kai dragged him over, it turned out that he was waiting here.

"What are these? Who can tell me?" Xing Kai walked up to a long-term worker, "You tell me the fuck, where's the rice? Where's the rice! Without rice, what do I and my brothers eat?"

Chang Gong let out a sigh of relief, it turned out it was for rice.

The movements of Wu Kui's hands also slowed down, and his heartbeat gradually stabilized.

Ding Teng secretly sighed in his heart, did Xing Kai lose the chain at a critical moment?Does he really only care about Mi's affairs?

"Return to the general, these are some medicinal materials, maybe the wrong box was loaded when loading..."

"You're teasing me, right?" Xing Kai patted his face with a look of anger, "You really think I don't know what it is? I saw it with my own eyes at Tongshan Pass back then. It's called Yincao. Fucking medicine!"

The stone in Wu Kui's hand fell to the ground immediately, and his hands were shaking.

Ding Teng exhaled lightly.

"Ding Teng!" Xing Kai suddenly snarled and asked loudly, "I want to ask you, how did this grass get to the pier? Are all your water and land divisions eating dry food?"

After knowing the harm of Yincao at Tongshan Pass, Tan Shiguan, as the regent, immediately blocked the trade of this grass.Now I actually saw it in Jiangnan, thinking of those brothers who were killed, can Xing Kai not be furious?

Ding Teng seemed to relax, and even had a smile on his face, "Your official confesses your crime."

Xing Kai waved his hand, and immediately a soldier bound Ding Teng, but Ding Teng did not resist at all.

"General Xing, what are you doing?" Wu Kui's voice trembled slightly, revealing his panic.

Xing Kai said solemnly: "Yin grass is a contraband, Mr. Wu will not forget it? This is the decree issued by the regent of the year, which is now Duke Ding. Don't pretend to be stupid, Mr. Wu."

"Take it away!" Xing Kai said, personally escorting Ding Teng.

Wu Kui took a step forward, "General Xing, Ding Teng can only be regarded as dereliction of duty at best, and naturally the officer will handle it. What do you mean?"

Xing Kai gave him a blank look, "It's not interesting, I will take him away." Once he becomes unreasonable, no one can stop him.

Seeing this, Wu Kui could only order the yamen servants to block their way, "General Xing, you can't let me interfere in this matter, I will report to the officials."

Xing Kai sneered, "Not only do I want to take Ding Teng away, but I also want to arrest Cai Li." The long-time worker has already said that the host is the Cai Mansion.

As soon as they were about to fight each other, a voice came from far and near: "General Xing is in a big battle, Cai is just a businessman, how can I bother you to arrest me personally?"

Xing Kai glanced at him, "No trouble, come and tie me up."

Cai Li laughed "haha", "Do you have evidence?"

Xing Kai pointed to Yincao and Changgong behind him, "Those are the evidence. You have violated the law by buying and selling Yincao privately. Don't talk nonsense. I don't want to hear it."

Cai Li smiled, "These things are not mine, they poured dirty water on me, how can the general believe it? Cai is doing serious business."

Just as Xing Kai was about to speak, he heard the sound of several people falling to the ground behind him. He turned around suddenly and saw those long-term workers suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground dead.

Dead without proof.

Ding Teng lowered his eyebrows, and lightly moved the hands tied behind his back. Xing Kai pulled him behind him, glanced at Cai Li, and ordered to go back to the camp, taking Ding Teng and all the Yincao with him.

He didn't even think about taking down Cai Li with this.

Cloud Mountain Villa.

Xiao Jumao woke up from the chaos, and just opened his eyes when he saw Tan Shiguan's face.

"Are you awake? Are you still dizzy?"

Xiao Jumao stood up from the bed, shook his hair and shook his head.

Tan Shiguan smiled, "You're covered in sweat, I'll take you to take a bath." He said and gently hugged him into his arms.

It was already midnight, Tan Shiguan personally brought hot water and put Xiao Jumao in the wooden basin.Xiao Jumao squinted his eyes comfortably, and his whole body was immersed in it.

Tan Shiguan lowered his body and scrubbed him, accidentally bumped into a certain place, Xiao Jumao jumped suddenly, and stared at him with wide eyes.

Tan Shi watched with a smile, and a deep voice came from his chest, "Sorry."

His Majesty the cat lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on his chest.

The man's clothes were slightly open, because he leaned over, from Xiao Jumao's point of view, he could see everything at a glance.The two clavicles move back and forth with the scrubbing action, and the underlying texture is smooth and slightly bulging. Except for the old scar on the heart, there are some small scratches on it, which seem to be the claws of beasts across the same.

etc!He remembered that when he was sleepy, he did scratch something. Could it be that he did it himself?I suddenly felt a tug in my heart. Although these scratches were not serious injuries, they should still be very painful, right?

Tan Shi saw him staring blankly at his chest, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Jumao straightened up suddenly, put his wet forelimbs on the man's chest, stretched out his paws to touch the scars, and stared at Tan Shiguan with his watery eyes.

Does it hurt?

"It's okay, I won't see it tomorrow." What he said was the truth, if Xiao Jumao hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten about it.

"Okay, it's almost done, I'll wipe it for you." Tan Shiguan picked him up from the tub, put him on a clean soft cloth, and wiped him carefully, with a serious and pious expression.

Xiao Jumao let him brush his hair, and did not forget to ask about Ding Teng.

"Xing Kai has already taken Ding Teng away, and there are still some Yincao, but Cai Li's criminal evidence is still not found."

Xiao Jumao nodded, Cai Li's methods were many and vicious, it was normal that it was difficult to verify in a short time, and he only hoped to dig some criminal evidence from Ding Teng's mouth.

"However, if you don't get it right, Cai Li will kill someone to silence you." Tan Shiguan said, and put Xiao Jumao who had dried his hair back on the bed, "Go to sleep first, I'll go to the garrison camp."

Xiao Jumao quickly stretched out his claws, I want to go too!

"I'll go back as soon as I go. You just have a fever. You can't go out to see the wind for the time being. Wait for me to come back." The man said, holding His Majesty the cat's round face, and kissed him on the forehead.

Xiao Jumao lowered his paws, all right, let's go early and return early.

The figure of the man disappeared from his eyes, and Xiao Jumao lay alone in the bed, feeling extremely lonely all of a sudden.

He probably really couldn't do without Tan Shiguan.
