King's Landing [Rebirth]

Under the leadership of Yang Junning, Qianyumen participated in the management of the epidemic, which solved the problem of shortage of manpower.Jiang Shengxue stared at the medicine application for a while, then went to the resettlement site to help.Over there is the top priority of the epidemic, where are all the infected people.No matter poor or poor, rich or noble, they are all treated the same when they arrive at the resettlement site.

The situation of these people is different from that of Xiaodouzi. Xiaodouzi has not been infected for a long time, so the two medicines are used until the disease is cured.And some of these people's condition began to deteriorate due to the protracted time.

The doctor in charge here was personally selected by Song Yuan, an old doctor over half a century old, surnamed Huang.He adjusted these people according to the prescription given by Jiang Shengxue, and managed them in an orderly manner.The other people who followed had their own ulterior motives, some wanted a prescription to claim credit, and some were doctors bought by Lu Tian.They knocked in Dr. Huang's ear, wanting to know the efficacy of this prescription, but they were all fooled by Dr. Huang's ambiguous answer.

Dr. Huang has practiced medicine for many years, and he took the prescription to help recuperate. These days, he has seen that the prescription is only the first stage of treatment, and it is not a real prescription to solve the epidemic.He is a fine person, and Song Yuan sent him to the city lord's mansion these days, and he has seen it very clearly, the city lord has fallen, the officials are running around, sick and sick, the city has already become a mess.This epidemic is a natural disaster, and it is also caused by man-made disasters. The sky in Hongye City may change with this epidemic.

During these years in Hongye City, he has served as city lord for two terms. He has watched Hongye City go from prosperity to decline, and the government has gone from serving the people to being corrupt. He has experienced all kinds of storms, big and small.No matter how bad this time is, it's just a change of city lord.He was half buried in the ground, so he didn't have time to worry about changes in the officialdom.That is the young man's world, all he can do is his own duty, that's all.

Jiang Shengxue came to the resettlement site alone. The soldiers guarding the gate recognized her, greeted her and handed her a scarf to cover her mouth and nose.Jiang Shengxue thanked the other party for his kindness, put on a scarf and entered the door.

The resettlement site is a large courtyard, and a simple pergola is set up in the courtyard for the doctors to use. At the moment, they are discussing the second stage of treatment.When Dr. Huang saw Jiang Shengxue coming in, he greeted him with a happy face, and asked about the situation outside.

"The rat infestation and resettlement work in the city are proceeding in an orderly manner. The young master of Qianyumen also sent medicine and quilts. In a few days, the city will be restored to its previous state, and the escaped people will return one after another. "

The situation in the city is still clear so far, Jiang Shengxue picked up an important mention.

After hearing this, Dr. Huang stroked his goatee and smiled, and asked, "Things outside are going well. I wonder if the situation in the yard is safe, girl."

The matter in the yard refers to those patients, and the others also pricked up their ears waiting for Jiang Shengxue's answer.

Jiang Shengxue did not doubt that he was there, and said: "I came here for this purpose, and I have to rely on the hard work of all the seniors to strive for the restoration of peace in the city as soon as possible."

These words are ambiguous, leaving a lot of room for the people present.Dr. Huang squinted his eyes, and echoed: "It's easy to say, let me explain the situation to the girl first. We divided it into three areas according to the severity of the disease. This is..."

Dr. Huang took Jiang Shengxue to understand the situation of the resettlement site. He explained it in detail. Jiang Shengxue checked a few situations at random, and he had a rough management charter for the situation of the yard in his heart.Because of Song Yuan's needs, Jiang Shengxue's prescriptions were not heavy and could only delay the spread of the disease.Song Yuan let loose this morning and said that it could be managed, which saved her a lot of trouble.

After checking all the houses, Jiang Shengxue pretended to discuss the illness with Doctor Huang in order not to let Doctor Huang know that she already knew how to deal with the epidemic.Properly remind Dr. Huang, Dr. Huang is very good, the two of you talk to each other, and they will quickly come up with a way to deal with it.

"Young lady has such medical skills at such a young age, I can't resist my old master." Dr. Huang and Jiang Shengxue stood chatting in the porch, curious about Jiang Shengxue's background, and asked casually: "Where did the young lady learn from? "

Jiang Shengxue's eyes sank slightly, she lowered her eyes to suppress the sourness in her heart, and said: "My father is a doctor, and I have seen many intractable diseases by his side since I was a child, but I seldom do it myself, which is a bit The meaning of talking about war on paper made seniors laugh."

"The girl is too humble. I think the girl's father is also an expert. I don't know if I will have the opportunity to meet in the future." Jiang Shengxue is neither humble nor overbearing. It can be seen that her family background is good. Dr. Huang is somewhat interested in her father, and he wants to make friends with her .

Jiang Shengxue was in a trance. She looked at the distant sky and said in a low voice: "My father has passed away."

Doctor Huang was taken aback, he didn't expect that he would poke someone's pain and arouse others' sadness when he said it casually, he regretted it in his heart, and apologized quickly.Jiang Shengxue smiled, telling him not to take it to heart, the two of them stopped talking and went off to attend to their respective affairs.

Jiang Shengxue was given full authority over the management of the epidemic, and Qian Yumen took over the rat problem. The officers and soldiers in the city began to busy themselves with other things.

Liang Jian asked him to find out about the situation of the officials in the city, and knew that most of the military officers were from Lu Tian's family, so it would be troublesome to deal with them.As for the civil servants, some escaped, some fell ill, and the rest were the letter officer, the two household officials who managed the household registration, and one steward.

"This manager was single-handedly promoted by Sun Sheng, and he is still loyal to him. He also helped me a lot when this incident suddenly happened, but I suggest you deal with him as soon as possible. Because he is a scheming person, he On the surface, helping me is loyal to Sun Sheng, but in fact he still wants to use the Qingyu Seal. It’s just that he knows how to hide it, and he doesn’t want to be as stupid as Lu Tian, ​​so he writes it directly on his face. As for the remaining letter officers and household officials, They are all about the same as me, with a breeze in their sleeves and a poor life. If you don’t get involved in those grievances and grudges, and do things according to your duties, you can stay."

Song Yuan had already seen the situation in the city clearly before seeking advice. Now that Liang Jian asked him, he knew everything, and he tried his best to let Liang Jian grasp the whole situation in the shortest possible time.

Sun Sheng valued martial arts and despised literature, so he always had strict control over civil officials, which also led to the disunity of civil officials, but there were many clean and honest people.So in terms of civil servants, Liang Jian didn't have much to deal with, just get rid of those corpses and replace them with competent people.On the other hand, on the military officer's side, not to mention the soldiers, I'm afraid there will only be one or two left.

But this is not a problem for Liang Jian, he can openly select military officers and choose suitable talents according to his needs.

"Hongye City has a rich heritage, and it is not a problem to select a few generals. There is no need to worry about that." Liang Jian said: "Besides, I think the official system in the city is not reasonable. Most official positions are dispensable. You really let me If I come to be the city lord, I am afraid that the official column will be doubled."

Song Yuan also didn't like the official system in the city, and felt that most people had nothing to do with their official positions. He had previously advised Sun Sheng to reduce the number, but Sun Sheng rejected it.Hearing Liang Jian's words now, he was overjoyed, and laughed loudly: "I wish you would lose weight."

Liang Jian nodded, knowing it in her heart.

The official system of Qiutong Kingdom is divided into divisions. The official positions in the area under the jurisdiction of the city lord are determined by themselves. This is not restricted by the royal city. In many places, there are many officials without positions.Sun Sheng is also a talent for supporting idle officials. He probably thinks that there are more officials and he can do things faster, so he doesn't have to worry about it.But he forgot the principle that too many ducks don’t lay eggs, and when there are too many officials, he will put on airs, and the officers will push you and push you, which is not efficient.

"What's going on with Lu Tian recently?" After talking about the official position in the city, Liang Jian remembered Lu Tian who had been left alone, and asked Song Yuan if they had any changes recently.

Song Yuandao: "I reckon that your previous deterrence is about to be ineffective. You sent someone to watch it. His temper probably lasted for a day or two. Do you think I'm pretending to charge him with treason, or just charge him with treason?" He and Sun Sheng have the same pot?"

Seeing that the predicament in Hongye City was about to be resolved, Song Yuan thought with his toes and knew that Lu Tian would not be able to sit still.He came here to make trouble before, just to make Song Yuan retreat, but he didn't expect Liang Jian and others to intervene. Not only did he not ask for cheap, but he also made himself ashamed.With his temper, this kind of deterrence won't last long. He can't get involved in the epidemic, and only Sun Sheng can make a fuss.

At any rate, he was the one who promoted him, and Song Yuan didn't want Sun Sheng to see the scene of betrayal, but if Lu Tian insisted on going his own way, he couldn't help it.

Song Yuan said that he would have to wait a day or two to look up to Lu Tian, ​​and on the night he and Liang Jian finished talking about it, Lu Tian acted.As Song Yuan expected, Lu Tian directly led several of his trusted subordinates to Sun Sheng's residence, and under the pretext of visiting, he hijacked the letter officer and asked him to write a new letter in front of Sun Sheng. The documents of the city lord.

Sun Sheng's letter officer is an old man with good handwriting and has been with Sun Sheng for many years.He is an old-fashioned and stubborn scholar who takes soft but not hard.Now her temples are gray and she has a snow-white beard, but she is very energetic and has a ruddy complexion.Faced with Lu Tian's threat, the old man sat down at the desk in a calm manner, saying that without Sun Sheng's order, he would not want him to write a word.

"As Sun Sheng is like now, can he speak?" Lu Tian snorted coldly, and threatened: "It doesn't matter if you don't write, it's the same if I kill you and find someone else to write."

The letter official said without changing his face: "Of course others can write, but don't forget that there is a wax seal on the letter officer's hand. You want the city lord to abdicate, yes, you can invite Mr. Song who is in charge of the green jade seal, and he nods." If you agree, I will write to you."

In addition to the sapphire seal, the city lord usually has two or three private seals, which are used for other occasions when it is not convenient to use the sapphire seal.For example, in the letter sent by Xu Liangchuan, there is no need to use a sapphire seal, a wax seal is enough to show his identity.The custody of the city lord's private seal is relatively random, leaving one for the letter officer and one for the household officer.Each city lord's private seal is based on the surname, supplemented by patterns, and will not be changed unless necessary.

Mentioning Song Yuan and Lu Tian was furious, he kicked over the stool in front of him, his eyes widened with anger, and the veins on his forehead bulged: "If it weren't for those foreigners who are troublesome, do you think Song Yuan can still stand in front of me?" Show off your power?"

Song Yuan was nothing to worry about, but the people who followed him became a serious worry for Lu Tian, ​​and when he thought of Liang Jian, he felt a haze in his heart.The letter officer didn't care whether Lu Tian was angry or not, he looked like an old monk in meditation, his eyes half-opened, and he sat motionless on the stool.

"Okay, old man, I know you are a tough guy. But please think about it for your family, especially your grandson who is only one month old, you don't want a white-haired person to give a black-haired person, right?" Lu Tian couldn't help Song Yuan for the time being. , but he can still deal with the letter officer.The old man loved his son very much. He was afraid of falling when he was holding it since he was a child, and he was afraid of melting in his mouth.Seeing the addition of a boy to the family, he has been grinning from ear to ear for several days.

Lu Tian can't recruit security, but he is good at threatening him.

The letter officer's face twitched, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing that he was loose, Lu Tian said again: "What is the difference between Sun Sheng being alive and dead now? Anyway, when he gets up, I will be the most capable person in Hongye City to be the city lord. You are writing this document now." , Writing later is also writing, what’s the difference?”

The letter officer thought that there was a big difference, whether you were the city lord or not, but there was still no reaction on the face.

Lu Tian got impatient and said a few more words, seeing that the letter officer still didn't respond, he couldn't help but angrily said: "What? You must ask someone to hold your grandson in front of you before you will write?"

Lu Tian is a villain, he can do what he says, and he will not show mercy to anyone.The letter officer felt a little guilty. He was not afraid of death, but he didn't want to drag his family down.The only plan for now is to place hope on Song Yuan, hoping that he can stop Sun Sheng.The letter officer could still buy time before he stopped.

"I can write it if you want, but I want to see the city lord first. Even if he can't speak or move now, I still have to tell you." The letter officer looked up at Lu Tian, ​​and finally he was willing to let go.

Lu Tian thought the letter officer was long-winded and was about to refuse.But after thinking about it, he felt that it was all right, anyway, Sun Sheng is a living dead now, even if the letter officer digs out of the sky, he can't change anything.So with a big wave of his hand, he told his people to back away, and let the letter officer go into the inner room to see Sun Sheng.

Lu Tian led people to surround Sun Sheng's residence, and there was a lot of movement. The twelve silver armored soldiers guarding Sun Sheng in the inner room heard the movement outside, but they didn't move.Their goal is to protect the city lord. As long as those people don't break in and conflict with them, they won't attack first.

Song Yuan has been busy dealing with the epidemic recently, and has not visited Sun Sheng for several days.Sun Sheng was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep or move. The boy who delivered the food was dumb and couldn't talk to him about the outside world.He was completely decadent, his tyranny and temper were growing, his eyes were blood red, and his face was extremely gloomy.

The letter officer came in through the guards of the silver-armored soldiers and saw Sun Sheng like this, he couldn't help sighing, thinking that this medicine made people like this, life is really worse than death.

When Sun Sheng saw the letter officer, there was a gleam of light in his eyes, and he stared at the letter officer with fiery eyes, even if the letter officer said a word, it made him feel like he was still alive.

"Master City Lord, Lu Tian wants me to write a letter of abdication for him. If I don't want to, he will threaten the lives of my family. I have been an official in the City Lord's Mansion for more than ten years. It can be seen that he intends to Get rid of you and then hurry up. I am old and incapable of protecting the city lord, but I don't want to make Lu Tian perfect. If the city lord doesn't mind, can I write an article to make Song Yuan the next city lord?"

The letter officer naturally had something to say, but what he said was not what Sun Sheng wanted to hear at all.Sun Sheng was still thinking that no one would shake his position as city lord, but he didn't want the people below to start turning against him.Even Song Yuan, who he didn't take seriously, transformed into the biggest threat.Sun Sheng was flushed with anger, veins spread from his neck to his forehead, and his face was hideous and terrifying.

The letter official didn't change his face, and continued: "My lord, whether you can do well now is another matter. Hongye City has been without an owner for too long, and the epidemic is concurrent. It really needs someone to come out to take charge. Lu Tian sits at the head, and Song Yuanneng is the only one in the city. Fight with him, if you agree, just wink, I know what to do."

Sun Sheng couldn't listen to what the letter officer said at all, his heart was filled with anger, he couldn't move, he couldn't open his mouth to curse, all emotions were suppressed in his heart.When the qi and blood flowed backwards all over his body, a strong rusty smell filled his mouth, he couldn't help being angry, his eyes turned black, and he passed out.

The letter officer didn't panic when he saw this, and sighed softly: "Okay, I know what you mean."

The letter officer took a step back to salute Sun Sheng, then got up and left the inner room.

Lu Tian in the outside room was waiting impatiently, and when he saw the letter officer coming out, he dragged him to the desk, handed the pen and ink to his hand, and asked him to write quickly.The letter officer glanced at him, and calmly grinded and selected pens to find paper, dawdling like a snail.

Song Yuan was having dinner when he received the news that Lu Tianye broke into Sun Sheng's room, and there were only him, Liang Jian, and Aunt Du's mother and son.Jiang Shengxue is still at the resettlement site and hasn't come back, and I'm afraid he will live there for a long time.Mei Zhenghan was worried that she would not eat when she was busy, so she went to deliver food to her and was temporarily away.

It was not a man who came to carry the message, but a gray dove.Lu Tian sent people to guard the exit of the City Lord's Mansion to prevent people from coming out, but he couldn't control the flying sky.

The pigeon with the letter paper was released by someone arranged by Song Yuan when no one was prepared. On the paper was scrawled "Lu Tianfan, come quickly."

Song Yuan's expression froze, he handed the note to Liang Jian and said, "I still overestimated him."

Liang Jian glanced at the content, and an indistinct smile appeared on his face: "It's just in time, it's just you and me, are you afraid?"

"I've been planning for this day for many days, and I've already prepared for the worst, so why be afraid?"

"Haha, very good, then follow me, and I will show you what force suppression is."

Liang Jian lit the note and watched it burn to ashes.Then he turned around and told the bewildered Aunt Du that he had to go out for something. If Mei Zhenghan came back and asked about it, he would say that they were busy with the epidemic and would come back soon.Don't worry if neither of them and Mei Zhenghan come back when it's bedtime, just stay out and go to sleep.

When Aunt Du heard that they were going to work, she didn't ask any more questions, she just said that she would not forget it when she wrote it down.

Liang Jian nodded and took Song Yuan out.After leaving the house for some distance, Song Yuan looked at Liang Jian and asked, "What did you mean by that last sentence just now? Do you doubt that Lu Tian will send someone to resettle the place?"

Liang Jian said that it is understandable that they will not come back for the time being, but Mei Zhenghan just went to deliver meals and he also thinks that he will not come back, isn't it implying that something will happen at the resettlement site.

Liang Jian said with a smile: "If you were Lu Tian, ​​would you consider eliminating hidden dangers before planning something? The Qingyu Seal is still with you, so he dare not take it lightly. If you can capture one or two hostages, you will have more leverage in negotiating with you .”

Song Yuan thought silently, this is not impossible.Lu Tiangou jumps over the wall anxiously, afraid that he can do anything.

"Then Mei Zhenghan can handle it?" Song Yuan asked worriedly: "I'm not worried about his skill, but I'm afraid that he won't understand the situation."

Liang Jian said: "Don't worry, there is Yang Junning."

Song Yuan was taken aback, and his voice couldn't help but raised his voice: "Why did you involve her?"

Liang Jian glanced at him in disgust, and said, "You think it's involved but she doesn't. Besides, I just asked her to help me protect Jiang Shengxue so that she wouldn't get involved in the matter of seizing the throne."

Liang Jian has always been wary of Lu Tian's secret mischief, and communicated with Yang Junning early, asking her to pay attention to Jiang Shengxue's situation.Yang Junning fully agreed, and went to the resettlement site to help on the grounds that there were people from Qianyumen in the resettlement site.Thinking that Mei Zhenghan had already seen her at this moment, and the three of them were together, even if Lu Tian was there in person, it would be able to drag on for a while.

Song Yuan didn't expect Yang Junning to be there, he showed displeasure, and said angrily, "You shouldn't have discussed it with me..."

"Don't underestimate Yang Junning. I can understand that you want to protect her wholeheartedly, but she doesn't need your protection." Liang Jian interrupted Song Yuan's words, and it was rare that he was interested in mediating the quarrel between the two of them. Said: "I think when Lu Tian is settled, you two should sit down and talk. The friendship between childhood sweethearts, how can you just say no."

"You know about me and her?" Song Yuan looked at Liang Jian in surprise, he didn't expect to hear these words from Liang Jian's mouth.

Liang Jian said: "I just talked to her a little bit. She doesn't shy away from your affairs. It can be seen that she still has you in her heart. You are a big man and you can't make a big girl look down and reconcile with you."

"The matter between me and her is not as simple as reconciliation... Forget it, let's not talk about it, it's better to solve the immediate trouble first."

Song Yuan and Liang Jian arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion while talking. The red lanterns hung outside the gate illuminated the Qingshi Street in front of them, and also illuminated the cold blades in the hands of the officers and soldiers.Their knives were aimed at Song Yuan and Liang Jian, their faces were numb and bewildered.

Song Yuan took a step forward, faced these officers and soldiers with a stern face, and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean? Are you trying to prevent me from entering the mansion?"

"Lord Song, the commander-in-chief has ordered that no one can enter tonight, and anyone who trespasses will be killed. Don't embarrass us." An officer standing in front of Song Yuan replied sternly, with an extremely arrogant tone.

Song Yuan recognized him as an officer and soldier who often followed Lu Tian, ​​and he was usually domineering, but his face darkened immediately, and he said angrily: "Then I will try whether your sword is fast or my life is hard."

As Song Yuan spoke, he took another step forward. Some officers and soldiers did not dare to embarrass him, but retreated hesitantly.Only the person who spoke just now was fearless. He raised his weapon and said with a ferocious smile, "Then don't blame me for being rude."

Saying that the saber is like a spirit snake spitting out letters and stabbing at Song Yuan, Song Yuan's expression does not change, he does not avoid or retreat.

With a bang, the person holding the knife was hit on the wrist by a stone. The pain made him unable to hold the handle of the knife, and the blade fell to the ground with a harsh sound.The other soldiers were taken aback for a moment, and then they remembered that there was another person behind Song Yuan.

Liang Jian passed Song Yuan, hooked up the knife with the back of his foot, held it in his hand, and waved the wind casually.He looked at everyone present with disdain, and said with a harmless smile, "Get out of the way of those who don't want to die."
