[Three Kingdoms] Jingyunshang

Chapter 37 The Trip to Xiangyang

As the sun sets in the west, the afterglow of the setting sun in early spring shines on the surface of the river, sparkling with waves, setting off layers of waves.It was already sunset, and Li Jing and his party returned home with a full load today.When I returned to the prefect's mansion, I found that Zhang Zhongjing and Zhang Lue were chatting, but there seemed to be a big difference in the words, Li Jing heard it clearly, and the two people who were talking didn't seem to realize that their conversation was overheard by others .

"Master Taishou, after thinking about it for a long time, should you go to Xiangyang to see the illness of General Cai Mao's daughter?"

"Zimou, it's not that the old man won't go, it's just that Changsha County is busy with work, so I won't be able to get away for a while."

"But my lord, if you don't go, how can Cai Mao give up? Besides, Cai Mao is the brother-in-law of Lord Liu Jingsheng, the shepherd of Jingzhou, and has a close relationship with Lord Liu Jingsheng. If you offend him, and Changsha County is under the jurisdiction of Lord Liu Jingsheng, then Cai Mao If you slander Master Liu Jingsheng and give him shoes to wear, then the gain will outweigh the loss." Zhang Lue reminded him kindly.

"I am an upright official, I walk upright, I stand upright, what are you afraid of?" Zhang Zhongjing stroked his long beard and talked lightly.

"My son thinks that the adoptive father should go. As the saying goes: 'Don't be afraid of the officials, you are afraid of being in charge.' If the adoptive father does not go, he must give Cai Mao an excuse, which will be detrimental to the adoptive father in the future." Zhang Yi walked into the hall and bowed his hands.

After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Zhang Zhongjing thought for a while: "It's just that the old man heard that the people who fled from Xiangyang to Changsha to see a doctor said that Cai Mao was not a good man. Homeless. I hate this kind of people the most in my life, and now I want this old man to see a doctor for her daughter, it is wishful thinking!"

"But...can my lord? If you offend Cai Mao, Changsha County may be in constant trouble in the future." Zhang Lue on the side said tremblingly.

"The old man is not afraid, and the body is not afraid of the shadow crooked!" Zhang Zhongjing's tone was firm.

"Master, please forgive me for being presumptuous. I have something to say. I don't know if I should say it or not?" Facing the awkward situation, Li Jing suddenly put down the basket behind her back and said.

"Oh? Jing'er, if you have anything to say, please tell me."

"No, master. My disciple thinks that master can go to Xiangyang first to see if Cai Mao is as good as the people who fled to Changsha said. If so, the master will find an excuse to avoid seeing it. If not, then the master will heal his daughter. It can be regarded as helping ordinary people." Li Jing, who has experienced the Jiangdong incident, has gradually matured.

"Miss Li is right! The prefect can act accordingly after he goes to Xiangyang, so as not to be caught by that Cai Mao." Zhang slightly echoed.

"Alright! The old man will go to Xiangyang once. By the way, on this trip, Jing'er, go with me. I will teach you how to see patients. And Yi'er, you will also go with me as a father, so as to ensure safety." , Zimou, after the old man leaves, the official affairs of Changsha County will be handed over to Ru."

"No!" The three answered at the same time.

Two days later, Zhang Zhongjing, Li Jing, and Zhang Yi came to the city of Xiangyang. Li Jing looked around and saw that the walls were high and deep, which was extremely dangerous.The whole street is extremely bustling, there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going, the crowd is surging, all kinds of shops are arranged in an orderly manner, and the calls of all kinds of transactions can be heard endlessly.It is even worse than Changsha City.Li Jing and his party walked several miles in the city, and unconsciously felt their stomach growling, so they found a wine shop and sat down.

"Dude, bring me a jug of good wine, another plate of beef, and two vegetarian dishes." Zhang Yi shouted.

"Okay, guest officer, just wait a moment!"

Just as Li Jing put down her luggage and sat down, Zhang Zhongjing was attracted by the voice of conversation at the upper right.

"Brother, have you heard that Cai Mao's daughter has a strange disease, Cai Mao has searched almost all the doctors in Xiangyang City, but none of them can tell what the disease is, do you think it's strange?" The gray-clothed man in his 30s said.

"What's so strange? Who told Cai Hao to be so arrogant and domineering at ordinary times, relying on himself as Lord Liu Jingsheng's wife and brother, to act recklessly and make many innocent people homeless. Now it's all right, his precious daughter won such a scene Strange disease, this is called retribution." Next to the man in gray, a man about 27 or [-] years old laughed gleefully.

"That's right, you don't know, because Li Liu from the village next door to me refused to sell the one mu of land that he had worked so hard for many years to sell to Cai Mao at a low price, but Cai Mao beat him alive. Hey, that tragedy, it was so tragic. I was there the day Li Liu came back, and I saw with my own eyes that Li Liu crawled back with half his leg and half arm. "The one next to the man in Tsing Yi was about 35 years old. The man in the blue shirt also took the words.

After listening to the three men's words, Zhang Zhongjing was very angry. When he got up and was about to go straight to the three men, Zhang Yi stood up and stopped Zhang Zhongjing and said, "Father, don't get angry, wait for the waiter to come over later, you can ask carefully. "

"Alright!"

"Three guests, the high-quality wine, beef, and vegetarian dishes you want are here, please take your time."

"Dude, please wait! The old man has something to ask you."

"Please tell me!" The waiter in the shop replied respectfully.

"I heard that the daughter of General Cai Mao in Xiangyang City has a strange disease. It has been several months and many doctors have been invited, but it has not been cured. Is there such a thing?"

"Guest officer, what you said is absolutely correct. It is indeed the case. Some people say that it is because of General Cai Mao's arrogance and domineering that he illegally invaded the fields and cattle of many good people, causing many people to die and run away. God got angry and punished his children?"

"Oh! That's how it is! Thank you, the waiter."

"However, guest officer, please don't say that I said it. If you let General Cai Mao know that I said it, I'm afraid that villain will not be able to gain a foothold in Xiangyang City."

"Of course, we won't talk nonsense."

After drinking for three rounds, I was full.Zhang Zhongjing and his party went straight to Cai Mao's mansion in Xiangyang City.After walking about tens of miles, I finally arrived at Cai Mao's mansion. I saw that the mansion was extraordinarily luxurious, magnificent, with extraordinary imposing pavilions and pavilions.Before the mansion, dozens of people stood up to welcome them. The man in the middle was about 35 years old, with a slightly fat body and an ugly description.

Seeing Zhang Zhongjing coming, the man put on a gesture and said in a flattering voice: ""This must be Mr. Zhang. Mao has been waiting here for a long time. I heard that Mr. Zhang has superb medical skills and has the ability to bring the dead back to life.The little girl suffered from this strange disease for a long time, and she went to famous doctors but couldn't cure her. She still hoped that Mr. Zhang would rescue her. "

"General Cai's words are serious, the old man should do his best."

Just when Zhang Zhongjing was about to enter Cai Mao's mansion, suddenly, a beggar-like man in gray clothes with disheveled hair, about 40 years old, rushed towards him, hugged Cai Mao's thigh tightly and said, "General Cai, please be merciful!" Well, the villain's family of four are all counting on that old cow for their work, if you take it away, the villain's family will have no way of life, please show your respect and let the cow go!"

After hearing what the man in gray said, Cai Mao was furious, kicked the man away and roared angrily: "Where is the stinking beggar, get out of here, or you will look good to me."

The man in gray was rolling all over the ground in pain, but he was still not afraid of the intense pain and hugged Cai Mao's thigh again and almost begged: "General Cai, please, I really can't live without that cow. If you take that cow Taking the cow away is equivalent to killing the villain!"

Cai Mao was furious, and scolded the man: "Damn you untouchable, since you are going to die, I will help you." After finishing speaking, Cai Mao drew out his long sword and slashed straight at the gray-clothed man.

It was too late to say, but soon, "Dang!" Just as Cai Mao's horizontal sword was going down, Zhang Yifei stepped forward, and the horizontal sword blocked Cai Mao's long sword.Seeing this, the sergeants around Cai Mao drew their swords and pointed at Zhang Yi.

"Who are you, dare to block my general's sword." Cai Mao cursed.All of a sudden, swords were on the verge of breaking out, the atmosphere was extremely dry, and a big battle seemed imminent.Seeing this, Zhang Zhongjing hurriedly said: "General Cai, please calm down. This is the old man's adopted son Zhang Yi. He has a strong personality and loves to fight against injustice all his life. Now that the general wanted to kill innocent people, he stepped forward. General Haihan!"

"Your son's sword is so fast, but is it faster than my guards?" Cai Mao's tone was slightly mocking.

"The general praised it, but the grassroots dare not be, but the grassroots are still very interested in the competition." Zhang Yi replied provocatively.

"Oh, so Mr. Zhang is very interested?" Cai Mao looked at the guards around him and motioned for a move.

"Wait a minute! Yi'er still hasn't put away your sword." Zhang Zhongjing shouted. "General Cai, don't forget that this old man is here to see your daughter's doctor, not to see a competition in the arena. Today and tomorrow are auspicious days for seeing a doctor, so don't use war rashly. If you do, it may damage your daughter's condition." Unfavorable, I hope the general thinks twice!"

"Since that's the case, the general will bypass you as a lowly person for the time being. If you commit another crime, you will be killed without mercy. Left and right, let me throw this beggar out." After Cai Mao finished speaking, he put away the long sword and put it back on the tip of the sword.After Zhang Yi saw this, he also put away his long sword.On the other hand, Li Jing was terrified.I almost witnessed another tragedy with my own eyes. Fortunately, my master stopped it in time. Now that I think about it, the rumors are not groundless. This Cai Mao is indeed the person in the rumors. It's over.What will happen in the future is probably hard to predict. After thinking about it, Li Jing is a little scared.

The two guards directly lifted the man in gray and threw him out of the mansion.Zhang Zhongjing glanced at the gray-clothed man and breathed out helplessly. Zhang Yi and Li Jing behind him were also helpless.

Entering the mansion, Zhang Zhongjing heard a young woman's painful cry from a distance.The cry was miserable and piercing.

"Doctor Zhang, please, this is the little girl's wing." Before Zhang Zhongjing could reply, Cai Mao continued, "This general has invited almost all the doctors in Xiangyang City, and none of the doctors can tell that the little girl is wrong." What kind of disease is it? This is really terrifying me. Just now, I heard that Dr. Zhang is unparalleled in medicine, so I sent someone to Changsha County to invite Dr. Zhang. If Dr. Zhang can cure my daughter's stubborn illness, this general will definitely prepare a big thank you."

"Let's wait until the old man sees your daughter's situation first, General Cai."

When Zhang Zhongjing and his party walked into the wing room, they saw a young woman about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in silk and satin, with a yellow and thin face, lying listlessly on the bed and vomiting non-stop.Zhang Zhongjing was sitting next to the young woman, and after feeling his pulse for a while, he knew what disease the young woman was suffering from.Just when Zhang Zhongjing was about to say it, the scene of Cai Mao beating the man in gray suddenly appeared in his mind.Zhang Zhongjing quickly said: "Your Ai's situation is a bit complicated, we need to observe it for a day, and we will know the specific situation tomorrow."

Cai Hao, who was at the side, was a little displeased when he heard this, and said with a blue face, "It turns out that Doctor Zhang is just a vain name."

Zhang Yi behind him was about to refute, but Zhang Zhongjing waved his hand to signal no.Then he said immediately: "Whether the old man's reputation is in vain, why does the general need to make a conclusion so early? It's only a day's work, the general will know tomorrow!"

"Okay! The general will wait another day. If the little girl is cured, the general will offer a big gift to thank you. If Doctor Zhang can't cure the little girl's stubborn illness, don't blame the general for going to Changsha County and smashing your government office. "

"You..." Zhang Yi was about to get angry, but was stopped by Li Jing who was holding a plate, and motioned to wait for Zhang Zhongjing's words.

"It's all yours respect, I'm sorry I'm leaving first! Yi'er, Jing'er, let's go!"

"No delivery!"

Xiangyang Chengnan Mingyue Inn

"That's unreasonable! That Cai Hao is simply too arrogant and domineering. In broad daylight, he not only wants to kill and commit murder, but also dares to threaten his adoptive father. It's really deceiving!" Zhang Yi who returned to the inn was very angry.

Li Jing on the side persuaded: "Yi, don't get so angry, this kind of person is not worth worrying about."

"Jing'er is right, don't worry about it." Zhang Zhongjing took Li Jing's words.

"The adoptive father, have you noticed what's wrong with that girl?" Zhang Yi asked Zhang Zhongjing.

"Of course the father can see it. The woman is seven or eight months pregnant, so she is in pain."

"Since Master has seen it, why didn't he say it just now, and insisted on waiting for a day?" Li Jing seemed a little puzzled.

"My teacher saw that Cai Mao dared to kill innocent people before the mansion. Most of the rumors I heard in the wine shop are true today. So after thinking about it, I don't want to see Cai Mao's daughter. .” Zhang Zhongjing talked slowly after taking a sip of tea.

"Then Master isn't afraid that Cai Mao will go to Changsha County to make trouble in the future?"

"Jing'er, I'm really not afraid of this. There are soldiers and generals in Changsha County, and the people of Changsha love their adoptive father. If Cai Mao really dares to make trouble, he won't take advantage of it." Zhang Yi's words were full of confidence.

"What Yi'er said is true, the old man is not afraid of this, but is just thinking about how to excuse Cai Mao tomorrow."

Just as Zhang Zhongjing was thinking, a bold idea popped out of Zhang Yi's mind.

"Father, think about Cai Mao's arrogance and domineering, embezzling the people's land, so that many people are displaced and homeless, and today he wants to kill the people who are begging for cattle. This person is really hateful. Why don't the father take care of the victims tomorrow? How about a bad breath?"

"The plan will be released?" Zhang Zhongjing asked.

"Since the adoptive father knows that Cai Mao's daughter is seven or eight months pregnant, why not use oxytocin to make her give birth prematurely. I think there are many gentlemen and celebrities discussing affairs in his mansion today, and I am afraid there will be many tomorrow. If the woman is in the public After giving birth to a baby, Cai Mao must have been very embarrassed. Secondly, Cai Mao wanted to blame his adoptive father, so what reason did he have to blame him? When the woman gave birth to a baby, her illness would disappear. In this way, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? "

Zhang Zhongjing thought for a long time after hearing this, and then slowly said: "Yi'er, this method is very good!"

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Zhongjing and his party arrived at Cai Mao's mansion early. There were many celebrities and gentlemen from Jingzhou in the mansion, and most of them came to curry favor with Cai Mao.

"Doctor Zhang, one day has passed, I wonder if I can find out what is wrong with my little girl today?" Cai Mao asked arrogantly.

"Don't worry, general! This old man will definitely be able to solve your daughter's problem today."

"That's great! Doctor Zhang please!"

Zhang Zhongjing went straight to the young woman's wing, sat by the bed, and said to the young woman, "Miss, please open your mouth and stick out your tongue." The young woman opened her mouth with difficulty and stuck out her tongue.

"Jing'er, bring the package to the old man."

"promise!"

Li Jing hurried forward and handed the package to Zhang Zhongjing. At this time, Cai Mao inadvertently squinted at Li Jing.Then he looked at his daughter again.Feeling Cai Mao's squint, Li Jing felt a little hairy inside, but soon calmed down.

Zhang Zhongjing took out a small pill from the package, flicked it into the young woman's mouth, and ordered his servants to bring boiling water for the young woman to drink.

"General Cai, the medicine has cured the disease. My daughter needs to rest now. We will go out first, and I will be fine later." Zhang Zhongjing smiled, but this smile was a bit weird, which made Cai Mao feel uncomfortable.

Cai Mao dubiously followed Zhang Zhongjing and his party out of the wing.Not long after, the sound of a young woman moaning in pain came from the wing room.Cai Mao turned pale with shock, and quickly asked Zhang Zhongjing, "Doctor Zhang, what's the matter?"

"General Cai, don't need to worry, this is the onset of the effects of the medicine, don't be impatient, your love will be fine soon." Before the words were finished, a baby crying "Wah-wah-wah" came to my ears.In an instant, Cai Hao's face was ashen, thinking that his daughter was still a girl who hadn't left the court, he wished to find a crack in the ground to drill down, and the gentlemen and celebrities in the hall also heard the cry of the baby, whispering to each other and secretly laughing .

"General Cai, your love is fine, I'm leaving!" Zhang Zhongjing walked out of the mansion after finishing speaking.And Cai Mao stayed where he was, blushing, unable to speak out in anger.
