Beauty is sick

Qian Zheng's family was not well off, the house was small, and there was no light inside when the door was closed. The first time he said that, coupled with that listless face, he always seemed a bit inexplicably cold.

Lin Jingkong endured and endured, but still got goosebumps, immediately glared and said: "What the hell, don't talk nonsense!"

Qian Zheng shrank his neck and squeezed closer to Pei Zhe.

"Have you seen a ghost?" Pei Zhe smiled gently, "I have liked ghosts and monsters since I was a child, and the fortune teller said that I was destined by a celestial master, and I have the ability to catch ghosts. Please tell me why." What’s the matter, wait for me to catch the ghost and mend the body.”

Make up, make up the body?

Qian Zheng was startled by his shocking words, and suddenly had a feeling that ghosts are not that scary.

With an unspeakable expression on his face, Lin Jingkong silently watched Pei Zhezhen deceive Qian Zheng, and really wanted to tell him a word: the one who looks the most gentle on the surface may be the most vicious.

Pei Zhe, it's not a good thing.

But Qian Zheng didn't know, Qian Zheng only felt that Lin Jingkong was not easy to mess with, and had infinite affection for the gentle and gentle Pei Zhe, even if he heard the other party say such things.

Pei Zhe urged: "What happened that night, what did you see, whether it was a person or a ghost, tell them all."

Qian Zheng retracted his thoughts of running far, nodded and bowed his head, and said, "I was working in the city that night, it was late at night, when I walked near the Huai River, I accidentally slipped and fell to the side of the bridge pier, almost rolled into the river .Things fell all over the place, and the lights were black and white. I got up and rubbed it for a long time, but I couldn’t find my clapper. I was worrying about it when I heard some movement from the river bank.”

He paused here, his eyes eager.

Lin Jingkong almost laughed angrily: "You treat yourself as a storyteller in a teahouse, do you need someone to cheer you up and ask you what's going on next? Hurry up and don't dawdle, just say you saw it What."

Qian Zheng smiled and continued: "I was thinking that someone would come and let them give me a hand. I was just about to speak when I heard a sound, ticking, ticking, coming from the bridge, moonlight It was so bright, my cat was under the bridge, when I looked up, I was facing a hanging human face, that face was upside down, with two staring eyes, it was terrifying!"

Lin Jingkong's heart skipped a beat: "What's more, did you see anyone else?"

"What I saw was not a human!" Qian Zheng glanced at him with strange eyes, and emphasized, "It's a ghost, not a human, and there is no human at all!"

Pei Zhe: "How do you judge that it belongs to a ghost and not a human?"

Qian Zheng: "Because that face disappeared in a flash, disappeared out of thin air, how can people be like this, what is it if it's not a ghost?"

Coming out of the room, Lin Jingkong raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the sun: "Damn it, what did you say that you hit a ghost, why didn't you say that Black and White Wuchang crawled out to watch the lantern?"

Pei Zhe heard the words and sighed: "Commander Lin's imagination is richer than Qian Zheng's."

Lin Jingkong: "..."

Pei Zhe: "But it shouldn't be black and white. Qian Zheng only sees one face, but black and white has two people."

Lin Jingkong: "..." I am sarcasm, sarcasm, don't you understand? !

After Qian Zheng finished speaking just now, they asked a few more times, but Qian Zheng insisted that what he saw was a ghost, and he kept emphasizing it like a madman. He, that is, he was carrying the peace talisman he had prayed for from the temple, and ghosts dare not contradict him.

Lin Jingkong casually asked another watchman: "Did Qian Zheng talk like this before?"

The watchman shook his head in surprise: "No."

Lin Jingkong cursed "bad luck" in a low voice.

Watching his face, the watchman couldn't help whispering: "I remember that he didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, and he didn't even bother to go when he said he would offer sacrifices and incense during festivals, and he always sneered at things about wild ghosts and spirits."

"Is what you said true?" Pei Zhe came from the side and asked with a frown.

The watchman nodded, and added cautiously: "It's true. He used to say that such things are all made up to deceive people. Anyone who believes in him is a fool."

Belief in ghosts and gods or not is not something that can be changed overnight. What happens may change a person's mind, but a person like Qian Zheng who has absolute contempt for ghosts and gods should not change his mind so much even if he changes his mind. Fast is.

Pei Zhe and Lin Jingkong looked at each other and understood that they wanted to get together: Qian was lying.

Lin Jingkong cursed, and was about to turn around with his people: "You are so courageous, I must arrest him and take him to the Yamen for a proper trial!"

"Not good." Pei Zhe grabbed his arm, "Now he won't admit it if he is caught, and he might kill him if he doesn't cooperate."

Lin Jingkong: "Then what do you say?"

Pei Zhe thought for a while, and ordered: "Send a few people to the vicinity of Qian Zheng's house, watch him, don't let him run around, let's go to the medical clinic and ask, has he ever been to a doctor?"

He had to make sure that Qian Zheng hadn't been frightened first. To be sure that Qian Zheng had lied, it depended on whether he had been lying since Shang Yuan Ye, or if he only lied in front of them.

Pei Zhe's arrangement had his reasons, Lin Jingkong didn't raise any objection, and asked people to do as he said, anyway, this person is a senior official, even if he puts forward a different opinion, it can't change anything.

A team led the army, sent six to watch near Qian Zheng's house, and the rest went to the major medical centers in the city with Pei Zhe and the others.

Lin Jingkong showed disdain: "As long as he is like that, do we still need six people to watch? The brothers in our army can hold him down by one person, and two people are too many to watch."

Pei Zhe glanced at him, and lightly left a sentence: "Anyway, we bring enough people."

Lin Jingkong: "..."

Lin Jingkong was cursing from behind, but Pei Zhe didn't care, but his heart slowly sank.

Qian Zheng didn't look like a fake when he faced them. How dare he deceive the government with that kind of courage? He was afraid that someone would do something secretly. He felt that there were only six people. If something happened, he might not be able to please him. .

There are five or six medical clinics in the city, and everyone split up and agreed to meet up by the Huai River after asking questions.

Qian Zheng said that he saw the ghost under the Huaishui Bridge, and Pei Zhe wanted to go there to have a look, although after so many days, there might not be any trace left.

Pei Zhe was not as familiar with Lin Jingkong and others in Huaizhou City. The watchman took him to the largest medical center in the city. Only when he got to the door did he find that the person in this medical center was still an acquaintance, and it was the old man who had seen him before. Physician.

The old doctor's surname is Wu. He has opened a medical clinic for decades. He is highly skilled in medicine and dedicated to the patients. He has a good reputation in Huaizhou City. Everyone calls him "Old Wu".

When they arrived, Mr. Wu was seeing a doctor. He raised his eyes and saw Pei Zhe, and nodded at him as a greeting.

After the incident at the inn before, now in Huaizhou City, Pei Zhe, the number one explorer, is almost known to everyone, and people like Qian Zheng who stay in the house and don’t come out may not know him, and others are even I have never seen Pei Zhe, and I have heard about him taking out the holy object.

This is a senior official from the capital, so he can't be neglected.

There were two or three people queuing up to see a doctor in the clinic, who happened to know Pei Zhe, thought he was also here to see a doctor, so he hurriedly gave way: "Your Excellency, please go ahead."

Pei Zhe waved his hand: "I'm not in a hurry, you guys have to wait and see first."

After prescribing the medicine, Mr. Wu carefully instructed a few words, pointed to the patient where to take the medicine, and then stood up: "Are you here for a doctor, please wait a moment."

While speaking, he looked at the people lining up.

Pei Zhe understood what he meant, smiled and nodded: "I don't mind, you are busy."

Mr. Wu didn't say much, and called the next patient over.

The watchman had a panoramic view of everything and was quite emotional: "Your Excellency is really a good official."

Pei Zhe laughed dumbfounded: "Why did you say that?"

"Be sympathetic to the people, don't bully others, and behave politely," said the watchman.

Pei Zhe deeply felt that these were not the criteria for a good official, so he said helplessly, "I am ashamed of your praise of 'good official'."

The watchman blushed, thinking that he didn't believe him, so he stuck out his thumb and said falteringly: "You are worthy, sir, you are a good official, you are really a good official!"

Seeing this, the people queuing up next to him also echoed, "He's right."

Pei Zhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The points you mentioned just now, not every official, no, everyone should do it?"

Compassionate for the common people, not bullying others with power, behaved politely, arresting random people from the street, finding a scholar from a private school, all these points can be satisfied.

The watchman withdrew his hand and said softly, "Not every officer."

The other people also fell silent. After a while, someone whispered: "It would be great if you were the official of our Huaizhou City."

Pei Zhe's heart tightened, and he suddenly thought that the two officials of Huaizhou City, the magistrate and Lin Jingkong, were really not like this.Lin Jingkong has been in the military camp for a long time. He has a violent temper and a violent personality. impression.Not to mention the magistrate, who deceived the upper and lower, fished the common people, and most of the people in the city hoped that he would die badly. This is really scum.

Pei Zhe didn't know what kind of life the people in Huaizhou City lived. They were full of praise for their casual courtesy. One can imagine how much they suffered before.

He sighed, as if talking to himself, and as if promising: "There will definitely be changes."

Afterwards, no one spoke again until Mr. Wu came to Pei Zhe after seeing everyone's consultation, and he came back to his senses: "Can I take a step to talk?"

As soon as Mr. Wu heard it, he knew that he was not here to see a doctor, so he led him into the medical hall, and came to a room full of medical books: "There is no one else here. If you have anything to say, Mr. Pei can speak directly."

The room is not big, smelling like herbs. This is where Mr. Wu usually rests. In addition to the medical books, there is a wooden table, a stool, and an oil lamp on the table. The papers with prescriptions are scattered and stacked together.

Pei Zhe looked away calmly, and asked, "Mr. Wu, I came here today to ask, have you seen watchman Qian Zheng for the past half month?"

Mr. Wu recalled it for a while, then shook his head: "No."

Pei Zhe: "Are you sure you don't have it? Do you want to check the records?"

Mr. Wu: "I'm sure, I remember whom I have seen in half a month, their physical condition, and what medicine they prescribed."

Mr. Wu insisted that he hadn't read it, and Pei Zhe knew it, and he was ready to leave after thanking him.

Before leaving, Mr. Wu stopped him and asked him how he was doing: "That day at the inn, you were coughing non-stop. It looked very bad, did you not take the medicine on time? Just say that you decoct the medicine yourself No, I'll take your pulse again, I'll keep the medicine here, and I'll send it to you when it's ready."

Pei Zhe's heart warmed up: "No need, my illness is already cured, you are working hard in running the clinic by yourself, please worry about it, it's my fault."

Mr. Wu shook his head: "It's nothing hard, as long as it can help everyone."

The guy who was grabbing the medicine came out and asked Mr. Wu to come over. Pei Zhe couldn't help but suggested, "You're bound to be too busy alone. Do you want to consider taking in an apprentice?"

He saw that the old doctors in the capital would do this. Taking a few apprentices could not only teach them a job to make a living, but also make him more relaxed.

When Mr. Wu heard this, his expression changed immediately, and he shouted: "I won't accept apprentices!"

Pei Zhe: "?"

They were standing next to the entrance of the medical hall, and Mr. Wu suddenly made a sound, which attracted people from inside and outside the medical hall to look at him. Pei Zhe didn't know why, so he wanted to say something, but Mr. Wu ignored him and turned his head back. to the medical hall.

The watchman had been waiting outside for Pei Zhe, and when he saw this, he ran to him and said in a low voice, "Don't be angry, Mr. Wu. you."

No matter how good your temper is, it doesn't mean you won't get angry. If you are treated like this, let alone Pei Zhe is a high-ranking official, even a commoner will feel uncomfortable. The watchman is afraid that Pei Zhe will do something to Mr. Wu in a fit of anger. Having saved the lives of many people in Huaizhou City, he couldn't just watch this happen.

However, Pei Zhe didn't say anything, just nodded to show that he heard it, and left the clinic.

The two walked towards the Huai River, and the watchman observed Pei Zhe's face and asked cautiously, "Aren't you angry, sir?"

Pei Zhe laughed: "There's nothing to be angry about. Mr. Wu's freedom whether he accepts apprentices or not. After listening to your explanation, Mr. Wu should be very taboo about this. After all, I said something wrong."

The watchman was dumb, and quietly raised his eyes to look at Pei Zhe, and found that his face was calm, and there was no trace of fraud.

Passing by Tongfu Inn and Pinxianglou on the way to Huaishuihui, Pei Zhe glanced at the inn, remembering what happened when he lived here before. It was only a few days ago, but it seemed like it had happened for a long time.

It was as if he had known Jin Lingjiu for a long time.

When passing by the Pinxiang Building, Pei Zhe's heart skipped a beat, it was almost time for dinner, Jinling invited him to drink in front of the Yamen at nine o'clock in the morning, would he drink at this time?

"Aren't you going, my lord?"

"It's already noon, you should go home quickly, I'm sorry to trouble you this morning, I have time to go to the yamen and ask the accountant to pay you some wages."

The watchman blushed and quickly waved his hands: "No need, sir, it's just a trivial matter."

Pei Zhe: "You deserve it. I heard that your wife is not feeling well. You can take the money and ask someone to look after her. You have to watch at night so that you can rest during the day."

The watchman thanked him again and again, and left happily.

Pei Zhe stood at the entrance of Pinxiang Building for a while, as if he was struggling, before he made up his mind to go inside.

I just want to have a meal, it doesn't matter who the meal is, even if Lin Jingkong eats here, I will go in.Pei Zheru thought so.

The shopkeeper of Pinxianglou knew Pei Zhe, and when he saw him, he came out to greet him, and said, "Master Pei, please come inside quickly, I have time to come over today, but—"

Pei Zhe raised his hand to interrupt him: "Which room is Jin Lingjiu in?"

According to Jiu Gongzi's rich and powerful posture, he will definitely go to the private room when he goes out to eat. Since he asked Zuo Ping to prepare it, it will undoubtedly be the private room in Pinxianglou.

The shopkeeper was stunned: "Master Ninth? Young Master Nine is not here today."

Pei Zhe frowned: "What did you say?"

The author has something to say:

It will be updated on time at midnight tonight~

I have to say, my readers are too smart! (*/v\*)
