"Since Advocate Zhou has doubts, it's okay to check the injuries." Zhi Shan waved to the first imperial guard on the left side of the front row: "Go and ask Doctor Wang, who is on duty today, to come and check the injuries, so that everyone can be informed." I am convinced.”
"Yes, sir." The first imperial guard on the left responded.
"Slow down!" Liu Ningshi stretched out her hand to stop the imperial guard and smiled at Zhi Shan: "Brother Da Fang is also your Majesty's personally appointed chief of guard. How can you make people believe it if you just ask an ordinary doctor to check?"
"Then what do you want?" Zhi Shan's face gradually lost patience.
"I heard that there is a ghost doctor, Dr. Quan, in Tingwei's mansion. I can't be convinced unless he comes to check." Liu Ningshi secretly blinked at An Dafang.
"Nonsense! Doctor Quan is a distinguished guest in the palace. If there is no important matter, how can we trouble him?" Zhi Shan's face was full of anger, and the gavel slammed heavily on the table.
"Zhi, Master Zhi, Ling Su heard that you are the one who decides the case according to the law. Is it possible that what I heard is not true?" Zhou Ling took advantage of the opportunity and asked: "If, if your lord is accurate about what Ms. Liu and Ms. Liu just said, only then can everyone believe you. Your impartiality.”
"Hmph! These two people are singing and harmonizing. It's really difficult to deal with them." Zhi Shan calmed down completely and ordered to the stopped Tingwei: "Go and ask Doctor Quan! However, whether the old man is willing to come, I can't I can guarantee it; one of the three of you also needs to go together, so that he can be a witness."
"Of course." Liu Ningshi turned around and smiled slyly at Tong Bo: "Brother Xiangyun, please go and run."
"This little girl is really a ghost; I mentioned to her the last interrogation of Zhang Da and Ge Er in Tingwei Mansion, and she took advantage of her." Tong Bo shrugged helplessly and entered the secret passage. : "In order to save your brother Da Fang, how can you thank me for doing so much?"
"What do you mean by my brother Da Fang? Aren't you friends of life and death?" Liu Ningshi immediately entered the secret room and retorted: "What kind of thanks do you have the nerve to ask for?"
"Okay, why don't I go!" Tong Bo followed Ting Wei out of the lobby reluctantly.
As a guest of Tingwei Mansion, Doctor Quan naturally made excellent arrangements for his food, clothing, housing and transportation. On this day, as usual, he held a flower-watering pot in his right hand and slowly sprinkled water on the herbs planted in the ground. However, he heard the footsteps outside the courtyard gradually approaching, and thought to himself: "No one has been here for a long time at this hour." You came here, don’t know what will happen?”
"Doctor Quan, Master Zhi has sent me a humble post to greet you, old man." Outside the courtyard, the imperial guards bowed their hands respectfully towards the courtyard, but did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
"Did your family encounter any difficult problems again?" Doctor Quan continued to take care of his herbs leisurely without even looking at the court guards outside the hospital.
"It's like this. Your Excellency is hearing the case of An Dafang of the Jingwei Mansion, but his lawyer asked you to go and help check whether he is sick." Tingwei reported truthfully.
"Isn't there a doctor on duty today to complete this matter?" Dr. Quan was a little displeased at the Ting Wei's words: "Go back and tell your master that Quan still has important things to complete, so I won't accompany him."
"Yes, I'll report back to you sir now." Ting Wei turned around and spread his hands towards Tong Bo: "You saw it too, Doctor Quan is not free."
"Doctor Quan, is it your way of hospitality to keep guests away?" Tong Bo stopped looking at Tingwei and walked in front of him from behind.
"Huh? Does this voice sound familiar?" Dr. Quan put down the flower-watering pot in his hand and turned around to take a look: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Guard Tong."
"Please come into the courtyard and talk." Doctor Quan pointed towards the imperial guard: "You wait here while I talk to Guard Tong about old times."
"Yes, I humbly obey my orders." The imperial guards listened to the orders and stood guard in front of the courtyard door obediently.
"Come, try my homemade tea." The two of them came to the thatched-roofed pavilion across the courtyard. Doctor Quan poured a cup of tea for Tong Bo, and then poured a cup for himself.
"Yeah! It's bitter yet slightly sweet. Dr. Quan's tea is really extraordinary." Tong Bo sighed after taking a sip of tea.
"No matter how good the tea is, it is still a vulgar thing after all. Nothing can compare with Tong Guard's magical skills, which not only healed Wushi's drunken monk's injuries, but also improved his Hundred Refining Gang Qi to a higher level." Dr. Quan said with profound meaning. Looking at Tong Bo: "I have diagnosed him before, but there is nothing I can do."
"When it comes to the excellence of medical skills, Dr. Quan is the best in the next few streets." Tong Bo raised his head and laughed: "As for the drunken monk, it was because he had a problem with his Kung Fu practice, and Bo just read a few more Kung Fu books. "
"Really? Those three rejuvenating pills are all top quality!" Dr. Quan looked at Tong Bo and narrowed his eyes into a thin line: "I want to know where the old monster who refines the pill is?"
"Since I left that land, I have never seen the whereabouts of that old monster again." Tong Bo drank all the tea in the cup: "However, Bo and Dr. Quan are so close to each other, and they can explain how to treat drunkenness." Give each other the way of a monk.”
"Hahaha! I just like to talk to people who can speak clearly." Dr. Quan poured another cup of tea for Tong Bo: "How about we go to the Tingwei Hall after finishing this cup?"
"Then Bo will thank Dr. Quan in advance." Tong Bo stood up with a smile and bowed to Dr. Quan, but secretly cursed in his heart: "This old guy is really good at taking advantage of the opportunity to blackmail."
In the lobby of Tingwei Mansion, everyone was staring at him. Zhi Shan, who was sitting high in the lobby, kept tapping the table with the middle and index fingers of his right hand. Liu Ningshi, on the other hand, was not anxious at all and looked at An with a smile. Da Fang: "Brother Da Fang, don't worry, brother Xiangyun will definitely invite Dr. Quan."
"Yes! I believe in Xiangyun too." There was a sour taste in An Dafang's words, which he might not even be aware of: "Ningshi, has your matter been resolved?"
"It's okay. Thanks to Princess Yuanjin's help, the danger was averted." Liu Ningshi mentioned Yuan Jin and was happy that she could make this friend.
"Yuan Jin?" An Dafang couldn't believe his ears. Just as he was about to ask in detail, he saw the imperial guard who had just gone to invite Dr. Quan walked into the hall with vigorous steps.
"Your Excellency, Doctor Quan is here." Following the voice of the court guard, Doctor Quan, who was still carrying his withered brown medicine box, slowly walked into the lobby. Behind him, Tong Bo stepped into the lobby. He nodded towards Zhou Ling and Liu Ningshi for a moment.
"I've seen you, sir. I wonder who in the hall needs a physical examination?" Dr. Quan just slightly bowed his hand towards Zhi Shan and then looked around at the people around him.
"Doctor Quan, this man in guard uniform is the chief guard of the Xuanwu Academy of the Jingwei Mansion. Please check it for him." Zhi Shan pointed at An Dafang, but his mood was extremely complicated: "Doctor Quan He has excellent medical skills but is very arrogant, but he is willing to come here for the sake of safety this time, why is this?"
"Young man, stretch out your hand." Dr. Quan put two fingers on the pulse of An Dafang's palm, closed his eyes slightly and twirled his beard.
"Doctor, I..." An Dafang lost his temper when he saw that Doctor Quan was silent.
"Xu! Don't bother me to take my pulse." Doctor Quan stopped An Dafang who was about to speak and continued to close his eyes. After about three breaths, he slowly smiled and said: "This head nurse was originally injured or not, but Recently, due to an old injury, the cold air in the body has surged up, causing wind-chill syndrome."
"Sir, Master Zhi! You have also heard that Chief An and Chief An are indeed suffering from wind and cold. Can this killing stick be avoided?" Zhou Ling also showed a victorious smile on his face.
"You two, remove the torture instruments first." Zhi Shan waved his hands at the two imperial guards in the back row unhappily.
"Sir, if there is nothing else to do, I will take my leave." Without waiting for Zhi Shan to speak, he went straight out of the hall. The moment he passed by Tong Bo, he said softly: "Guard Tong, don't forget Got your promise."
"Doctor Quan, don't worry, Bo will keep his promise." Tong Bo didn't look away, but he had already spoken the words into Dr. Quan's ears with a secret voice.
"Hmph! This old guy is really arrogant. But if An Dafang cannot be tortured, it will be really inconvenient to try the case." Zhi Shan thought of this and immediately gave a shock: "Since An Dafeng In case he is ill, we will retry him at a later date. However, according to the law, he must be temporarily detained in Tingwei Mansion."
"Thank you so much for your sympathy." Zhou Ling bowed to Zhi Shan.
"Brother Da Fang, don't worry. We will definitely investigate this case and clear your name. You have to take care."
"Ning Shi, you also need to take care."
Every time he saw Liu Ningshi's frown and smile, An Dafang's strong heart seemed to be melted, but every time he did not do anything to help her. Instead, he asked her to come to rescue him when he was in trouble, and let his My self-esteem was deeply stimulated.
After the time for picking up customers in the early morning, the number of people in Li Laoshi's shop gradually became less and less. The waiter, who had been busy for a while, put the rag in his hand on his shoulder, walked to the front counter, picked up a large bowl of water, and "gud dong gu dong" for a while He shouted fiercely: "Ha! I'm really thirsty; shopkeeper, you said business is so good now, I can hardly keep up with it alone."
"Zhao Si, I also want to find more people to help; but the court has raised taxes again today." Li Laoshi smiled helplessly: "Our store is also a small business. If this continues, I don't know what to do?"
"Lao Li, you've paid your taxes." Just as Li Laoshi and his waiter Zhao Si were chatting, two more officers in red tax uniforms came in and showed the tax tags on their waists.
"Pay taxes? Didn't you just pay them in the early morning, why do you have to pay them again?" Li Laoshi was completely confused by the two tax collectors in front of him.
"Two agents, have you made a mistake?" Zhao Si on the side was also very surprised: "Three agents have already come to collect it this morning, and the younger one handed it over with his own hands. Our shopkeeper also signed the tax book. .”
"What's going on? How come this happened to several stores that were closed today?" The two tax collectors looked at each other: "Li Laoshi, those tax collectors are probably fake. We will report this matter to the government; but , this tax still has to be paid, three taels of silver."
"But I really can't afford so much money." Faced with this natural disaster, Li Laoshi begged with a mournful face: "Please give me some grace, please."
"Mr. Li, tomorrow is the deadline to pay taxes. We will come again." Mr. Zuo closed the account book with the tax difference in his hand: "If you can't pay taxes in full tomorrow, you know the consequences."
