The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

It was only after Lin Zhao wiped Zhu Bingliang's face that he realized that this person was lying on the floor in the lobby of the restaurant.

He instructed: "Master Xu, please help me put him on the bed, and find some clean clothes to change for him first."

"Hey, okay." Upon hearing this, Cook Li quickly gave his hand and helped Zhu Bingliang to the rest room on the first floor.

Half an hour later, the doctor invited by Xiao Er finally arrived.The Huichun Hall closest to the restaurant closed early, and Xiaoer knocked on the door for a long time. If it wasn't for the high price, the doctor would not be willing to come out in such a heavy rain.

The doctor's surname is Zhou, in his 40s, and he is a doctor in Huichuntang. There are several doctors in Huichuntang, and it happened to be his turn today.It has been raining for the past few days, and the business of the medical clinic is not very good, especially some medicinal materials inside are easily affected by moisture.He turned over the medicinal materials, turned on the lamp early and went to sleep.

Unexpectedly, I was woken up by a knock on the door in the middle of the night. After asking, I found out that it was a small restaurant in the nearby Yanjiangnan Restaurant, so I changed my clothes and came over with a medicine box.

As soon as Dr. Zhou entered, Lin Zhao stepped forward and said, "Doctor, please take a look."

"Where is the patient, take me there quickly."

Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly led him the way and led him to the rest room.

Although the rest room is small, there is a small bed inside. Zhu Bingliang is lying there with a pale face at the moment. Shopkeeper Xu has already changed his wet clothes. This trauma is serious enough. Worse.

Doctor Zhou sat on the side of the bed, first took his pulse, then rolled his eyelids to look at his pupils, and took off the white cloth that Lin Zhao had temporarily wrapped on his head, and looked at the wound.

"Doctor, how is it?"

After some examinations, Dr. Zhou said: "This patient has multiple wounds and a slight fracture in the calf. These are not serious. The key is the wound on the forehead, which is a bit deep. In addition, he has lost too much blood. Severe coma."

Naturally, Lin Zhao also noticed that Zhu Bingliang had a serious injury on his forehead, so he bandaged the wound on his head first.

"Is life in danger?"

"As long as he can survive tonight, he will be fine when he wakes up tomorrow. I'll prescribe a prescription first, and I'll ask someone to go back with me to grab some medicine, bring it back and boil it for him to drink."

Then, Dr. Zhou took out a bottle of wound ointment from the medicine box, "This is a wound ointment for hemostasis. Apply it on the wound. Don't bandage the wound too tightly, or it will easily suppurate. If you have a fever tomorrow, take it." Wipe him with a damp cloth to cool down, it is normal for the wound to become inflamed and cause fever, so don’t worry.”

Then he took out some bruise medicine and applied it to Zhu Bingliang's calf, took out a few short wooden planks from under the medicine box, tied them to his calf with a rope, and fixed it with a rope.

"For the past few days, let him not go to the ground for activities, and change the medicine on his legs every other day."

In the end, he explained some points to pay attention to when changing the dressing, and Dr. Zhou's consultation is considered to be over.

Shopkeeper Xu handed over the silver he had prepared long ago to Dr. Zhou, and said, "Ah Fu, go with Dr. Zhou and bring back the medicine."

Ah Fu, who was the waiter who went to invite the doctor at the beginning, quickly responded and said, "Doctor Zhou, I will take you back."

After Dr. Zhou left, shopkeeper Xu took the bottle of trauma ointment and began to apply medicine to Zhu Bingliang. Lin Zhao watched from the side. There were many wounds on his body, and the flesh on the wounds turned outward, as if scratched by a sharp sword.

This young master of the Zhu family is probably being chased and killed.If he was hunted down by his enemies, then he hid in this restaurant now, I'm afraid it's not too safe here.

If this is the case, the people in the restaurant may be in danger.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhao said to shopkeeper Xu: "From now on, close the door tightly when you sleep. If someone you don't know knocks on the door, don't open it. Don't go out these few days."

Shopkeeper Xu nodded, expressing his full agreement.In the middle of the night, he was woken up by a knock on the door by a man with blood on his face. If he came again a few times, he was afraid that his heart would not be able to bear it.

Ah Fu's legs and feet are very fast. It took him no more than two quarters of an hour to grab the medicine and come back.

There were few people in the restaurant, so the job of decocting the medicine fell to Chef Li.

Everyone was quarreling at this point, and they couldn't help feeling a little sleepy. Lin Zhao said, "Everyone worked hard tonight, and this month's wages will be paid [-]% more."

There is nothing more gratifying than a salary increase, especially Chef Li and Ah Fu, their faces are full of joy.

Soon it was ready and brought up, Ah Fu consciously took the medicine bowl, this kind of work can only be done by him at this time.

As a result, after feeding for a long time, he didn't feed it, wasting several spoonfuls of medicine, Ah Fu said with a bitter face: "Master, what can I do if I can't feed it?"

Lin Zhao approached and took a look. The man was too comatose, his mouth was tightly closed, and the medicine wouldn't go in at all.

There was no other way, Lin Zhao then pinched the sides of his chin, forcing him to open his mouth, "Quickly pour him down."

Fortunately, the medicine was no longer hot, so Ah Fu quickly poured a bowl of medicine down for him.

After such a busy schedule, most of the night was past. Lin Zhao reckoned the time, and it would have dawned early when it didn't rain normally.

At this time, it was still dark because of the rain, so Lin Zhao asked them to feed Zhu Bingliang the medicine and go back to rest.Ah Fu rested directly on the small couch in the rest room, there must be someone guarding him.

At this time, no stranger came to knock on the door, Zhu Bingliang's enemies probably didn't catch up.

After all, it was raining heavily, and the blood was washed away by the rain, and it was night, so it was even more difficult to chase.

After thinking about it, Lin Zhao felt a little relieved. He didn't sleep in the second half of the night, and he was also a little sleepy. He walked back to the small courtyard behind, opened and closed the door gently, and found that the person on the bed was still deeply asleep.

He took off his wet coat, rolled over into the bed, looked at Jiang Ziyan's sleeping face sideways, leaned over, nose to nose, held his hand and put it in his arms, then closed his eyes. His upper eyes fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep was very long, Jiang Ziyan was very tired from running around all day yesterday, and it was already too late to wake up.

He moved his hand and found that something was grabbing him. He tried a little bit to pull it back, but Lin Zhao was woken up by his movement.

"Woke you up?" Jiang Ziyan was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's getting late, and it's time to get up."

After the two got up and got dressed, they went to wash up. After washing, the food was already set on the dining table in the lobby.

At the dinner table, Lin Zhao told Jiang Ziyan about saving Zhu Bingliang last night. Jiang Ziyan was very surprised and planned to go and have a look after dinner.

Zhu Bingliang in the rest room has not yet woken up, and the wound on his body is no longer bleeding. Sure enough, as Doctor Zhou said, Ah Fu found that he had a fever when he woke up this morning.Fortunately, Dr. Zhou had given instructions in advance, so he wouldn't be in a hurry.

After eating, Jiang Ziyan went to see Zhu Bingliang. He was still in a coma, and Ah Fu was taking care of him.

After leaving the rest room, Jiang Ziyan asked Lin Zhao, "Who do you think Master Zhu will be hunted down by?"

Seeing Zhu Bingliang at this time, Jiang Ziyan couldn't help but recall the wounds on his body when he first crossed over. Most of the wounds on his body at that time were flesh wounds, nothing fatal.But Zhu Bingliang had a deep wound on his head, which almost cost him his life.

"I don't know. Don't think about it, you will know when he wakes up and asks."

Originally, Jiang Ziyan planned to return to the town after eating early this morning, but he got up late and encountered Zhu Bingliang, so he definitely couldn't go back to the town today.

But there is nothing to do here, so Jiang Ziyan will start playing cards with shopkeeper Xu and the others in the house.

In the evening, Ah Fu came to report that Zhu Bingliang was awake.

Jiang Ziyan put down the cards in his hand and hurried over. Zhu Bingliang was already supported halfway against the head of the bed, his face was very pale due to excessive blood loss.

He moved and wanted to get up, but he had been hungry for a long time, and he didn't have much strength in his body, so he couldn't even get up.

"Lie down quickly, you have suffered such a serious injury, don't move."

Zhu Bingliang smiled with difficulty, "Thank you Brother Jiang for saving your life."

"It wasn't me, it was our Ah Zhao who saved you."

"all the same."

Jiang Ziyan looked in the direction of the kitchen and said, "I ordered in advance that someone cook porridge for you and bring it over after it's warmed up for you. You should eat something light these days."

Just as he was talking, Ah Fu had brought the porridge over.

Although Zhu Bingliang's leg was injured and fractured, his arms and hands were still fine, so he couldn't even lift a bowl.

He was very hungry. From yesterday to today, he didn't eat for two consecutive days, and only drank two bowls of medicine in between. At this time, even if it was a light porridge, he took the bowl and even saved the spoon, and poured it directly into his mouth.

"Eat slowly, there is still in the pot, I will serve it for you after eating."

Zhu Bingliang didn't slow down at all when he heard the words, and quickly finished a bowl of porridge.He was so hungry, his stomach was empty, his stomach was empty, and he had no strength at all.He drank several bowls of porridge in a row before he felt alive.

After eating enough, we started to talk about business.

"How did brother Zhu get such a serious injury?"

Zhu Bingliang smiled bitterly and said: "A few days ago, I learned that my grandfather was seriously ill, so I wanted to go back quickly and do my filial piety in front of his bed. I originally walked by water, but it was raining heavily, so I turned back. Who knows I was assassinated as soon as I got back to my residence, I ran all the way here from Chengtai, and got lost with Zhu Ba and the others on the way, and I didn’t know anyone else in this county, so I had to call you.”

"Don't you still have a few shops in the county? And this is the county government, it's safer for you to go offline." Why do you say that you don't know anyone else in this county?

The implication is that even if you want to escape, you should go back to the shop under your own name to find someone to protect you, and there is a government.

Zhu Bingliang said: "I know Brother Jiang's doubts, but the person who sent someone to take my life this time obviously didn't want me to go back, and wanted me to solve it by taking advantage of the heavy rain."

Jiang Ziyan understood a little after hearing this, "You mean, the people who attacked you were from your own family?"

"Ah."

No wonder he didn't dare to run to the shop under his own name, wouldn't that be a self-inflicted trap.

"Why do your own people chase you down?"

"Brother Jiang doesn't know something. In my generation, there are seven or eight males. The Zhu family has a great career, but there are several uncles in my father's generation who are not suitable for business, so my grandfather intends to be one of us." Choose an heir to become the next generation head of the Zhu family. Among us, my cousin Zhu Bingqian is the most shining."

Hearing Jiang Ziyan, he could probably guess that the second youngest of the Zhu family, Zhu Bingqian, was a very respectable person in the Zhu family's generation. Zhu Bingliang was his strong competitor, and the old man of the Zhu family was seriously ill now. He wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Zhu Bingliang and secure the position of Patriarch.

"My cousin, although he has business acumen, is so successful that he will be rewarded. My grandfather thinks that he has a bad temper, so he has been unable to choose the next successor for a long time."

"Then why didn't your grandfather choose you directly? You are also very business-minded."

"My cousin was born to my uncle's wife, the eldest son of the big house, but I'm just a concubine's son, and I don't have enough background."

Jiang Ziyan did not expect that in this era, the distinction between concubine and concubine would be so strict in merchants' homes.

"Then why don't you hide in the government office? Those who catch up with you will definitely not dare to run to the government office."

"I came all the way from Chengtai County and was seriously injured. This place is too far away from the government office, and I'm not familiar with the road. It happened to be close to your place, so I ran away from you. My son really couldn't run away last night. Moved."

The way Zhu Bingliang knocked on the door in the middle of the night last night was really scary. He knocked on the door with all his strength and passed out.

"Besides, family ugliness must not be publicized. If you go to the government office, there must be a lot of trouble."

"Then why did you tell me this?"

"For me, Brother Jiang is not an outsider, he is both a partner and a savior."

Speaking of which, Zhu Bingliang had a very good impression of Jiang Ziyan. Jiang Ziyan always had a clean temperament that was different from the businessmen next to him, and he didn't have the smell of copper in his pants.

"That's thanks to Brother Zhu for his praise. Those people didn't come after you today, probably because they didn't find you here. You should stay here for a few days to recover from your injuries, and make plans after your injuries recover."

"Ah."

The wounds on Zhu Bingliang's body were all superficial. Even the wound on his head recovered quickly, but his calf didn't heal so quickly.

After all, he has been injured for a hundred days, so he will definitely not recover in two months.Jiang Ziyan had the final say, Zhu Bingliang would stay here for at least two months.

"The doctor said that your leg is broken and you can't move for the time being. Will you still be able to catch up with your grandfather?"

"It's okay. I'll go back by boat when my legs get better. According to my father's letter, my grandfather still has two or three months."

It is true that every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and a prosperous family is not necessarily a good thing. There are still brothers fighting against each other, and brothers killing each other.

"It's fine if you have a plan in mind. It just so happens that it's been raining for the past few days. You can rest here and rest at ease. If you have anything to do, just call shopkeeper Xu."

Zhu Bingliang smiled.Said: "This time I really thank Brother Jiang. If I have the life to go back, I will thank you in the future."

"Aren't we friends? You don't need to thank me. You should have a good rest first, and I won't bother you here."

Jiang Ziyan could see that he looked a little tired, what he needed most at this moment was rest.

After Jiang Ziyan came out of the rest room, he went back to the backyard, where Lin Zhao was reading by an oil lamp.

Jiang Ziyan came in and said, "I've been watching it for a long time today, the dark light at night is not good for my eyes, don't watch it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao obediently put down the book and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The two brought basins to wash up. Jiang Ziyan wiped his face after washing and said, "I just learned that those who killed him were sent by his family. It turns out that Young Master Zhu's family is not peaceful."

"Also?" Lin Zhao accurately captured the word.

"Yeah, my family is not peaceful either."

Recalling that Jiang Ziyan seemed to have said that his eldest aunt was not very kind to him, rounding it up, it was considered that the family was not peaceful.

"It's okay, our family will always be so good."

"Yeah!" Jiang Ziyan nodded, "You and Xing Xing are very good! And Big Brother Zhang, Feng Ke, Changlin Changhua... Thinking about the people I met here are very kind to me, God Not mean to me."

After all, it is a remote place, and most of the people are relatively simple. This place is not as prosperous as Kyoto, but it also has a lot less intrigue, which is fair when you think about it.

Lin Zhao didn't know that he would have such a sigh at this moment, and after he washed, he pulled Jiang Ziyan to the bedside to prepare for bed.

Jiang Ziyan lay down and closed her eyes, unable to fall asleep. She always felt that he had forgotten something, but she just couldn't remember it.

Seeing him tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep, Lin Zhao couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Can't fall asleep?"

"Well, I always feel like I've forgotten something, but I just can't remember it."

Lin Zhao covered him with the quilt and said, "Don't think about it if you don't remember it, maybe you will remember it tomorrow."

"Okay, sleep."

Here, County Magistrate Wu was busy walking around. He listened to Lin Zhao's suggestion, evacuated the people in advance, and then opened the gate to release water. There were mostly Shatian in the downstream, and there was only one small village living in the surrounding people, so they evacuated overnight.

After releasing part of the water, the pressure on the embankment is much less, and people can stand on the embankment, so we can ask craftsmen to come over for temporary reinforcement.

The heavy rain did not stop for another three days, and the water level of the embankment rose again.Fortunately, the sky has cleared up, as long as the temperature rises, the water in the river and fields will evaporate faster, so nothing major happened.After this incident, County Magistrate Wu paid more attention to Lin Zhao, and when he learned that he hadn't left in the county, he specially called him over to give him a good meal, and wanted to keep him at home for a light meal, but Lin Zhao used it as an excuse for studying. Declined politely.

Jiang Ziyan had been in the county for four days, and he was a little concerned about the situation at home. After all, he and Lin Zhao were not by Lin Xing's side, so he was always worried.

Zhu Bingliang's health has improved a lot in the past few days, and he is more energetic than the previous two days anyway.

Just after lunch that day, Jiang Ziyan finally remembered what he forgot two days ago.

Before the heavy rain, he asked Zhang Qiu to go to the county to find out Zhu Bingliang's whereabouts, and wanted to ask him about the fabric, but it was delayed because of the rain.

Zhu Bingliang was rescued by a coincidence this time, but he completely forgot about it.

Zhu Bingliang was still living in the small rest room on the first floor. It was inconvenient for him to move these two days. There were no other rooms on the first floor, and Jiang Ziyan and the others lived in the backyard, so he had to live here first.When his injury is better, he can be moved to another room.
