Daming prepares the emperor

"Xian, Xiancheng?" The team leader was dumbfounded, and turned to look at the others subconsciously.

Those yamen servants avoided his help-seeking eyes, and looked at the sky and the earth one by one, their eyes wandering, ordinary things suddenly worth studying, and even their ears were deaf.

"You said you are the magistrate, and I can't read, how can you prove it?" Bantou Zhou asked bravely.

"Do you recognize the official seal above?"

Lu Jin'ai sent the paper forward again, but due to the close distance, Banto Zhou's eyes became cross-eyed, and he stared blankly at the big seal above.

"No, so what if you don't know each other?"

"If you don't know it, it means you've neglected your duty." Lu Jin'ai said coldly, "As a team leader in a county, it's understandable that you can't read, and you don't even know the official seal of the imperial court, how did you become this official? How do you usually handle official business? Don’t you even recognize your boss’ paperwork?”

Zhou Bantou’s team leader was indeed bought. After being beaten by the soldiers, the previous county magistrate broke a leg. He was disheartened and hurried home. No one knew the character and ability of the next magistrate, the market for "goods" was not good, and the selling price was very low, so Bantou Zhou just bought himself a place at that time.

Now that Lu Jin'ai raised such a question, Bantou Zhou immediately felt guilty, and Nana didn't know what to say, and his momentum, which was not much, suddenly dropped several steps.

"Is there no literate person inside?" Lu Jinai glanced into the yamen.

Bantou Zhou was led by the nose unknowingly by him, and replied: "No, all the gentlemen have been invited to dinner."

There was indeed something wrong with Lu Jinxin's heart. Although he was not afraid, he could not help but be more cautious, his face did not change, and he said sternly: "Since you are going to eat, why are you in such a panic?"

"This..." Zhou Bantou suddenly remembered that this person hadn't proved himself yet, and also found that he seemed to be unknowingly cowardly, and refused to answer.

On the contrary, a yamen servant next to him saw that the team leader was respectful, and saw Lu Jin'ai's extraordinary demeanor. He thought that he was the real new county magistrate in all likelihood, and he wanted to flatter him. "

Bantou Zhou slapped him on the back of the head almost immediately, and said angrily, "Can this be said here?"

He cared more about whether others took his opportunity to flatter him than admitting to the county magistrate, so he hesitated and bowed to Lu Jin'ai, and said, "Come in with me first."

He confessed a few words viciously, and ordered the rest of the yamen servants to guard the gate carefully, and then led Lu Jin to fall in love with the steps, opened the gate a crack, and invited him in.

Lu Jin'ai didn't care too much, first squeezed in through the crack of the door, and then pulled out the stuck package.

The hall was dark and extremely hot, like a big steamer. Once people entered, heat waves would hit them one after another. The clothes made of hemp were useless at this time, and the steaming mist was lingering. It sticks to the skin and refuses to leave, the air seems to be so hot that it almost makes people faint on the spot.

Lu Jinai put the burden on the ground, went to the window and set up a pole, and looked at the furnishings in the room with the light that suddenly came in. There were not many things in the lobby, and they were all ordinary materials, except for the pen holder and the table in the middle. Apart from a few books, there was not even a vase or teacup. He took a closer look and found that the writing brush on the pen stand had exploded, and the book had obvious wrinkles that had been turned over many times, which showed that the magistrate was honest and hardworking.

He touched the table again and raised his hand to see that there was no dust on his hand.

"It was Master Zhu who asked them to go to dinner." Bantou Zhou sneaked up after him, as if someone in the house was eavesdropping, and whispered, "Tang Zun didn't want to go at first, but they dragged him away. It's right at the gate of the county government office. We were forced to drag it away. How dare we stop it? There are so many soldiers with knives on them, so we have to wait for the hall master to be released."

Lu Jinai was surprised: "Master Hou? Where did you come from?"

"Don't you know, Marquis Yongjia?" Zhou Bantou said, "I just came here last month. I said that I was ordered by the emperor to guard Guangdong. As soon as I came, I recruited 3 people to build Guangdong City. There were several thousand people in the entourage. Hu, it's very majestic."

"Why was Tang Zun taken away by him in full view?" Lu Jinai said, "But Tang Zun made a mistake and bumped into him?"

"What could be wrong?" Bantou Zhou said, "It's because of the money. The rich households and landlords in the surrounding area all gave gifts to the Hou Ye, but our county government didn't give it. The poppi who forcibly occupied the land, that poppi met Lord Hou before and gave him a generous gift, so..."

Lu Jin'ai knew what happened without listening to the rest, and walked out immediately.

Bantou Zhou chased after him: "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to get the horse." Lu Jinai walked to the yard behind the yamen, "Get the horse and go to Tang Zun."

"Ah?" Bantou Zhou said dumbfounded, "Do you know where they are? No, don't ride my horse out. You can change one, or make a written statement."

When the two were entangled in the stable, they suddenly heard someone outside shouting that Tang Zun had returned, so one put down the reins, the other put down the sleeves, and ran towards the door.

When they arrived at the door, Lu Jin'ai only saw the back of a man riding away on a horse, and the rest was the man in official robe lying on the ground.Those yamen servants shouted and shouted around him, but they didn't help anyone.

Lu Jin'ai knelt down and picked him up, and said to Bantou Zhou, "Quickly call the doctor."

"Here, I don't have any money." Zhou Bantou said.

"My baggage is in the lobby. There is money in it. Take it to hire the doctor."

"Okay." Zhou Bantou couldn't refuse this time, so he turned around and left.

Lu Jinai carried the magistrate to the backyard room, found a bed and put him down, took off his official cap and robe, threw his shoes on the ground, helped him up against the wall, and brought him some tea. After pouring it down, it stopped.

After doing these things, the man's complexion improved a bit, but his panting sound became heavier, and he groaned occasionally, and he didn't know what happened at the dinner.

Lu Jinai frowned and picked up the official robe to check, and found that there were a lot of shoe prints on it, and when he looked closely, there were bloodstains all over it. Thinking about the previous statement, the county magistrate was obviously beaten by the Marquis of Yongjia. He was even whipped, how bold!

Realizing this, he shifted his gaze to the bed again, and sure enough, he saw blood oozing from Zhixian's shirt.

"It's really unreasonable." Lu Jin'ai wiped off her sweat, knowing that she didn't know medical skills, and also knew that the team leader might be unreliable, so she planned to go out to urge her, or find a doctor herself.

After asking a yamen servant, Lu Jin'ai went to the street against the sun, bumped head-on with Ban Zhou who was coming back, and quickly grabbed him and asked, "Where is the doctor?"

Team leader Zhou returned the bag to Lu Jinai as if he had been pardoned: "You can find it yourself, I really can't find anyone."

"It's clear that the streets are full of people, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Jin'ai didn't care about arguing with him, and then rushed into a pharmacy with the Chen Ji brand on the side of the road, and said to the dozing clerk, "Is there a doctor sitting in the hall, ask him to see an emergency!"

"Yes, yes." The man raised his head, "I'll call someone right away, you..."

He glanced down and saw the familiar bundle in Lu Jinai's hand: "Hiss, what's the relationship between you and Bantou Zhou who went out just now?"

"I told him to come to the doctor, is there a problem?"

The clerk's smile disappeared, he came out from behind the counter, and said with a sad face: "Master, it's not that we don't treat your illness here, and we have traveled all over Panyu, and there will be no results. I don't think you are a rich man." People with good looks and benevolent faces should know the difficulties of ordinary people like us, so please hold your hand high and don't come to embarrass us."

Lu Jin'ai had seen too many scenes of bullying others with power, so he didn't refute the waiter's words, he just said: "The county magistrate is sick, please tell me if there is any doctor who is willing to see a doctor for him."

Hearing his emphasis on the magistrate, the man hesitated. As for the magistrate who rectified the administration of officials, reshaped the atmosphere, and done a lot of practical things for the people in the new year, the man seemed to be hindered by the threats of landlords and wealthy households. Dare to support him. Recently, because of Yongjiahou, he has become a man with his tail clamped. I still admire him in my heart. I have been in this life and business for several years. Although I have no edges and corners, I still have a little conscience.

What kind of official is good and what kind of official is not good, the people have a scale in their hearts.

He pulled Lu Jin'ai to the back of the medicine cabinet, and said: "After you go out, make a few detours first. Don't believe me, there must be ruffians from the Luo family following you behind you. Promise me to get rid of them and then go to the doctor. Do not implicate Chen Kee Pharmacy, otherwise I will not tell you anything."

"I promise you."

"Okay, go south after you make a detour. There is a doctor in the house with only banana trees planted in the fence. If even he is unwilling to go with you, then you can only let the magistrate suffer."

"Thank you." Lu Jin'ai cupped her hands, "I have one more thing to ask."

"Say it quickly."

"Which family is the Luo family?"

The clerk showed Lu Jinai's familiar expression again. He knew that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he cupped his hands again and left the pharmacy.

The Lang Zhong of the Banana Tree family was willing to follow Lu Jinai, but what Lu Jinai could find out, the Marquis of Yongjia, Zhu Liangzu, and the Luo family would not have imagined that as soon as they left, someone came and held the Searching for the torch with bare feet, the two had to hide for a long time, still circling around, and did not return to the Yamen until midnight.

The people in the yamen had already left, and none of the lights were on.

Lu Jin'ai found the door latch and put it in place, and together with the doctor, moved the magistrate to the main hall, took a cabinet and table against the door of the house, turned down the lights, and finally took two knives and put them aside for later use.

"Doctor Song, don't leave yet."

The old man named Song Shu finished treating the magistrate's wound, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lu Jinai said: "You have cured a disease that no one is willing to treat, and they will vent their anger. It is safer to stay in the yamen for the time being."

"It's safe here? Do you just rely on the table against the door?" Song Shu sneered, "If they want to kill people, they just set fire to it, and they don't need to break in. Let me tell you, these gangsters control the world." , I can’t control the doctor’s medical treatment. I have no children, old man, and my old wife has already gone, so let them come.”

"They don't dare to kill the court officials." Lu Jin'ai said, "It's even more impossible to burn. If the matter becomes serious, someone from above will come to investigate."

"Above?" Song Shu said, "Isn't the Hou Ye who fought the world with the emperor not enough?"

Lu Jinai did not speak.

Song Shuku sat for a while, looking at the moths that were rushing towards the lamp, tears gradually flashed in his eyes: "Master Daotong is a good man, it's really a crime for a good man to not get rewarded these days. Panyu finally got better, why did he come again As for a Marquis, what is the emperor thinking, what is the prime minister thinking about, how do you live your life."
