Travel through the ancient husband

Because of Wu Dutou's promise, Zhao Xiaohu drove the carriage to wait outside the county office early in the morning.Jiang Li and Jiang Xin went to the market early in the morning to buy chicken.If you live in the county for a long time, you will meet some familiar friends, buddies, and when those people see them, they will avoid them from a distance, as if they are afraid that Jiang Li and the two will say hello to them.

It's not the first time that Jiang Li and Jiang Xin have encountered the warmth and coldness of human relations, and both of them calmly faced everyone's pointing and pointing.Jiang Li recognized the husband who talked about them the loudest. His husband's leg was broken and he couldn't even pay for the medicine. It was healed by his grandfather asking them to owe medicine money on credit; Saved his grandson from drowning, now he covers his face with a vegetable basket and gossips with neighbors about their pharmacy...

"I heard that Dr. Jiang had cured the young master of the Bai family, and he is still squatting in the prison."

"Huh? Then his grandson is still in the mood to buy chicken?"

An Ah Mo covered her mouth, "Isn't it going to be executed? Is it okay to have a good meal at the end and go on the road..."

"How can it be so fast! It's only after autumn that the criminals will be executed."

……

They were far away, and they couldn't hear Jiang Li's gesticulation and muttering. The chicken seller felt unlucky, why were these two the first customers in the morning.

Jiang Xin stared, "What? You don't even want to sell your chicken for money?"

The chicken seller saw that he was not easy to mess with, and said in a friendly voice, "No, which one did you choose?"

Jiang Xin pointed to the fattest one, "That one, let's weigh it."

After buying a chicken and a basket of vegetables, the two returned to the pharmacy with their things. Pedestrians along the way avoided one after another, as if they had the plague.Jiang Li was worried, not for herself.Grandpa has been running a pharmacy all his life to see patients, but once something happens, no one comes to fetch medicine.Even if the county magistrate finds out the case and clears up the grievances in the future, people will feel that they have been stained.

"Master, help me get a big basin to scoop up some hot water!" Jiang Xin said suddenly.

"Oh, okay, come right away." Jiang Li responded, and went to the kitchen to scoop up hot water.

Jiang Xin, who was carrying the chicken, sighed, the young master just thought too much, and it had no other effect except to make himself uncomfortable.He shook his head, picked up the kitchen knife and wiped the chicken's neck neatly.

The two stewed stewed chicken with Angelica Polygonatum to invigorate Qi and blood, nourish the spleen and lungs, steamed a pot of steamed buns, and made a few side dishes.Before noon, Zhao Xiaohu came back in his carriage.

"How?!" The two asked in unison.

Zhao Xiaohu nodded sweating profusely, "My lord agrees, let's go right away, Wu Dutou has already greeted the prison chief."

"Great!"

"God bless!"

"You go drink some water and rest for a while, we can leave after the two of us pack up." Jiang Li happily arranged.

Jiang Li took some more clothes and packed another box of medicine. While he was busy with these things, Jiang Xin had already prepared the food box, and the three of them walked towards the county government excitedly and apprehensively.

The cell where the prisoners are held is on the north side of the county government office. There is a special entrance and exit, and there are two guards at the entrance.Zhao Xiaohu stepped forward to explain the situation, each of them stuffed a tael of silver, and one of them pouted, "Go in."

Zhao Xiaohu took the package and stepped up the steps first, Jiang Li and Jiang Xin hurriedly followed with their heads down.

Passing through the main entrance, there is a small courtyard inside, with only a four-foot-square opening on the top. Even if it is noon now, the light in the courtyard is not very bright, and there seems to be a dark and cold atmosphere.

There was a square table in the main hall, two guards were eating peanuts and drinking, their eyes lit up when they saw the three of Zhao Xiaohu.Zhao Xiaohu handed over one tael of silver as usual, "We are here to visit Dr. Jiang, the old doctor who was arrested because of the case of the young master of the Baifu. Wu Dutou said, the Lord has allowed us to come in and visit the prison."

The two of them thought that the money was a little short, but when they heard that it was someone who had come to say hello in the morning, they didn't feel embarrassed.The two prison guards searched through the things they brought in, leaving behind the medicine box, "This can't be taken in," and looked up and down at Zhao Xiaohu and the three of them. The clothes are thin and can't be hidden in this season. Hold daggers and other weapons.Jiang Li and Jiang Xin blushed and hid behind Zhao Xiaohu, Zhao Xiaohu also stretched out his hand to protect them vigilantly, but luckily the jailer didn't want to search them.

After a rough inspection, a jailer took out a large number of keys and said lazily, "Come with me."

The three of them followed him through the dark corridor, the musty smell of sewage ahead, and the stench of feces and urine came to their nostrils.Zhao Xiaohu turned around and took Lige'er's hand, holding it tightly, "Don't be afraid."

"Ah."

"Here we are," said the jailer, opening the door with a key. "I'll give you a quarter of an hour. To make a long story short."

He went out after speaking.

Dr. Jiang, who was asleep on the straw, heard the sound of the chains colliding and got up with difficulty. Before he could look back, he heard Brother Li's voice, "Grandpa!"

Zhao Xiaohu had already entered the cell first, carefully helped Dr. Jiang to sit up, helped him gather his cotton clothes, and picked the straw from his hair and threw it away.

Doctor Jiang said, "Brother Li, why are you here?"

Jiang Li's tears fell down instantly. Grandpa always likes to be clean and tidy. Now he is sleeping in this dirty and cold prison, and he doesn't know how long he will stay there.He took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped his grandfather's face, and straightened his messy hair.

"Grandpa, what do you think? They didn't torture you, did they?" Zhao Xiaohu asked.

Dr. Jiang nodded, "I'm fine. Fortunately, you brought me cotton clothes and dry food." Then he asked, "How did you get in? Is my case solved? Has your lord solved it?"

"Brother Xin, quickly bring the food box here. Grandpa, eat something first, and listen to me while eating." Zhao Xiaohu said.

Jiang Xin, who was still wiping tears, quickly opened the food box, and Brother Li also helped to take out the same things, "Grandpa, drink some chicken soup first, it's just stewed, it's still hot."

When Dr. Jiang first came in, because he had been wronged, the environment here was terrible, and the food was so bad that he couldn't eat at all.Fortunately, Brother Li and the others brought him some dry food, so that he could barely survive.Otherwise, relying on the rancid porridge provided in the prison, his body would have been unable to bear it.Now seeing the stewed golden and fragrant chicken soup, he didn't say anything, just picked up the spoon and started to eat bit by bit.

Jiang Li held back her tears and said, "Grandpa eat slowly, don't choke, drink the soup and eat some steamed buns and side dishes."

Zhao Xiaohu waited until he was almost done eating, and said, "Grandpa, listen to me. Your case is already underway. Young Master Bai died of belladonna poisoning. It has nothing to do with our shop. I believe you will find out soon. The murderer. Grandpa, you have to bear it for a few more days, and we can go home after the case is heard in the adults."

"Belladonna?" Hearing the news, Dr. Jiang felt relieved, but he looked at Brother Li and Zhao Xiaohu, and sighed again, "It's Grandpa who got you bothered, and you're going to get married in ten days. I don't know when I can go out. Xiaohu, your father and Mu..."

Zhao Xiaohu hurriedly said, "Grandpa, I can't blame you for this matter. You have also been implicated and suffered so much. My father and Ah Mu are also very worried about you. There are still ten days before we get married, so we must be in time." !"

"Yes, Grandpa, don't worry about these things, just take care of yourself." He said and took Doctor Jiang's left hand, "I'll take your pulse."

Dr. Jiang smiled, "Grandpa is a doctor himself, so I don't know if there is something wrong with me?" He said so, but he didn't move his hand.He didn't have any serious problems, so he was even more worried if he didn't show Brother Li.

"Master, how is the old man?" Jiang Xin asked.

Jiang Li took out the clothes she brought and put them on Dr. Jiang's lap, "Fortunately, it's just a little blood deficiency."

Just as he was talking, the jailer came in and urged, "It's time, it's time to go."

Zhao Xiaohu helped Dr. Jiang pull up his clothes, and said, "Grandpa, we'll come back tomorrow."

Jiang Xin also tidied up the food box, "Grandpa, I will leave the food box to you, you can eat something while it's hot, and I'll cook something delicious for you tomorrow."

Brother Li held Doctor Jiang's hand and was carried out by Zhao Xiaohu.

After the three of them exited, the jailer locked the door again.

On the way out, the three of them were silent, Jiang Xin and Jiang Li huddled together.When they got to the lobby, the prison guard returned the medicine box to Zhao Xiaohu.

The three of them went out of the gate and bypassed the county government office, Zhao Xiaohu said, "I'll be alone tomorrow."

Jiang Li shook her head.

It was rare for Zhao Xiaohu to be tough on him, "Brother Li is obedient! This place is not suitable for you to come to. Today, for Wu Dutou's sake, they didn't make things difficult for us. It's hard to guarantee that others won't."

Jiang Xin also persuaded, "Yes, young master, brother Xiaohu is watching, he will tell us if the old man has something to do."

Jiang Li was hesitating when she suddenly heard someone calling, "Zhao Xiaohu!"

The three turned their heads and saw that it was the wilderness driving the carriage.

Zhao Xiaohu was shocked, "Yuanye, are you back?"

"Well, as soon as I returned to the village this morning, I heard from my father and Ah Mu that something happened. How about Dr. Jiang's case?"

Zhao Xiaohu pulled him aside and explained the situation in detail.

Yuan Ye nodded, "Send them back, and I'll go drink with Wu Dutou."

Zhao Xiaohu responded, "Okay, I'll wait for you at Baiwei Pharmacy tonight?"

Hearing that Yuanye invited him to drink, Wu Dutou readily agreed, but he was very tight-lipped about the case. He only told Yuanye that Dr. Jiang was absolutely fine and asked them to wait for a few days with peace of mind.

Yuan Ye couldn't pry anything out of his mouth after getting him drunk, but with his assurance, he had completed the task.Wu Dutou was already drunk, Yuan Ye put him in the carriage and went to the pharmacy together.

The three people in the pharmacy didn't sleep, and they were a little disappointed when they heard Yuanye's words.Yuan Ye threw Wu Du's head into Dr. Jiang's room and went back to the carriage to sleep.The bed was occupied, Zhao Xiaohu had no choice but to set up a few benches in the shop for the night.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Xin got up to go to the latrine. He passed the kitchen and heard noises inside. He thought it was a mouse, but when he entered the door, he saw a tall and strong black shadow. Jiang Xin picked up a piece of dry wood and knocked on it. While yelling, "There is a thief!!" The black shadow snatched his weapon and covered his mouth with his backhand, "Don't scream, don't scream, I'm not a thief..."

Before he finished speaking, he was bitten by the anxious Jiang Xin, "...Hiss! How dare you bite!"

Zhao Xiaohu and Jiang Li, who heard the movement, rushed over with oil lamps, only to find the two entangled together.

"Why is it you?!" Seeing each other's faces clearly, they cried out in unison, both of them a little embarrassed.

Jiang Xin glanced at Wu Dutou's hand, there was a bloody tooth mark on it, he was merciless just now.

Jiang Xin said awkwardly, "What are you doing in the kitchen? You don't turn on the lights."

Wu Dutou said, "I'm just thirsty and looking for some water to drink. My brother has sharp teeth. You are attacking the county government office. Here, the evidence is still there. Come with me to the county government office tomorrow!"

Jiang Xin was dumbfounded, "I, I, I didn't do anything!"

Wu Dutou rubbed the back of his head with his left hand again, "You hit Ben Du's head just now."

"Then, then I'll let you hit it back and bite it back! Here." Jiang Xin handed him the stick, and stretched out her hand with her eyes closed.

'Puff Chi' Wu Du laughed and dropped the stick in his hand, he was just teasing him, this guy is really interesting.

Zhao Xiaohu and Jiang Li looked at each other, Jiang Li said, "Dutou, why don't you go to the shop and bandage your hand?"

"Alright."

Wu Du nodded, turned and left.After walking a few steps, he turned around again and hooked his fingers at Jiang Xin, "You, come over and bandage me!"

Jiang Xin pouted, reluctantly followed his pace.
