After sending the old doctor away, Yerunan stood at the door of the inn, lost his mind for a while, summoned his relative, and sent him to deliver a message to the palace and Qi Mansion.
Based on past experience, after receiving the news, the Qi family couple who loved their son would definitely come to the inn to check on their precious son. As for his good uncle Wang, Yerunan couldn't help but sneer. Being suspicious by nature, when he heard that A Feng was sick, his first reaction should be that A Feng was faking it. After all, Qian Zu had just complained to him. , the hind legs got sick all at once, this is too much of a coincidence, too much like a bitter trick, it is probably a person who has to be suspicious, not to mention that Uncle Wang himself is a very suspicious person.
Feeling a little cold, Yerunan opened the door of the inn, walked in, and stood in front of the charcoal basin to warm himself up. In his opinion, Uncle Wang will definitely inquire about the situation carefully. Not only will he ask his guards, but he will also summon the old doctor who came to see him just now into the palace. Maybe he will also send a personal servant called Tan Tan. Illness is actually an exploration. If you are really sick, then of course it is good. If you are pretending to be sick...I am afraid you will inevitably get scolded.
Thinking of this, the sneer on Yerunan's face deepened, and his heart became even colder. Once those people with cold natures get into that position and hold the supreme power in their hands, those closest relatives and loved ones will never let go. In my heart, all that is left is calculation.
Feeling warm from the heat, Yerunan was about to go back and guard Qi Zhifeng, but as soon as he turned around, he saw the shopkeeper with a worried look on his face.
"Master, the situation of the young master..."
"It's nothing serious. It's just that he ate too much cold food and was frozen. In addition, he caught some wind and cold along the way, so he suddenly broke out. It's just that the illness came fiercely, and it looked very serious. Don't worry too much." Yerunan patted him on the shoulder, "I guess it won't be long before Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi come back. You don't need to notify them, just take them there."
"Okay, Master!" The shopkeeper took two steps quickly to catch up with Yerunan, "Master, you haven't eaten all day? I asked the kitchen to prepare some hot food, so I can have a bite at least. Also, it's evening. Don’t you want to stay here? Do you need to prepare a separate room?”
"Well..." Yerunan thought for a while, "There is no need to prepare a separate room. There is a soft couch in Afeng's room. I can just sleep there. Just prepare a few more quilts. And... food Ask them to prepare more things, just keep it simple, cook more noodles, add more meat, add more vegetables, and share it with the brothers. They have been busy to this point, and they are still hungry. There is also something in the soup Put more ginger, it’s too cold today, if you’re not careful, you might get sick.”
"Okay, I understand. I'll go and give the orders now." The shopkeeper nodded, sent Yerunan to the door, saluted, and then turned around and left.
Yerunan watched the shopkeeper leave and gently opened the door. When he walked in, he saw that Mei Zhu had taken over Shen Cha's work and was changing Qi Zhifeng's handkerchief. Seeing him come in, she bowed slightly.
"The old doctor is gone?" Jin Jing poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Yerunan, "Is this child not usually sick?"
"It is indeed relatively rare, especially in the past two years, it has basically never been this serious." Yerunan took the cup and took a sip, walked to the edge of the bed, bent down slightly, and reached out to touch his forehead, "It's still very hot. Yes, even the breath you exhale is hot!"
"Don't worry, it's not a good thing not to get sick very often. If he has a complete fever this time, all the bad things accumulated in his body will burst out, which will be very good for him."
"The general is right. The old doctor also told me so, so I don't have to worry. Also..." Yerunan pulled a stool and sat next to Jin Jing, "I have already sent people to the palace and Qi Mansion to deliver messages. I guess It won’t be long before someone comes.”
"Master Qi will stay here for a few days. Master Qi and Mrs. Qi care about their son and will definitely come back to see him." Jin Jing stretched out, "Otherwise... let's all go sit in the lobby. Mei Lin and Mrs. Qi will stay here. Just the two of us, Mei Zhu, can tell us if anything happens."
"Okay!" Shen Cha stood up, "It's useless if so many of us stay here. There are too many people in the room, which is not good for him."
Yerunan agreed with the two people's statement, expressed his gratitude to Mei Lin and Mei Zhu, and left the room with Shen Cha and Jin Jing to the lobby.
After choosing a table that was sheltered from the wind, the shopkeeper served them hot tea and placed several plates of snacks for Yerunan to fill his stomach. The cook was cooking noodles and it would take a while before they could be served.
"Actually, we had already started investigating when the rumor first appeared." Yerunan took a piece of pastry and took a bite. "Although we are very busy, this matter is bigger and we can't ignore it."
"Looking at you, have you found out?" Jin Jing raised her eyebrows, "Who is so bold to say such a thing?"
"It came from prison."
"In prison?" Shen Cha and Jin Jing looked at each other and shook their heads, "Isn't this...impossible? How could such a rumor appear in the prison? Even if it is possible, it won't spread outside! Afeng My brother told us that now not only the palaces of important ministers, but also ordinary people are talking about this matter."
"It's like this. When the previous king dies of illness and the new king succeeds to the throne, an amnesty is required. We have the same approach as the Xia Kingdom. We will release some annoying people whose crimes are not particularly serious, such as petty theft and fights in downtown streets. etc., will be dealt with as appropriate based on the situation at the end of the case and their situation in prison. Of course, it is not free to let them out, they always have to pay a certain price. Under normal circumstances, every prisoner is Those who want to be beaten thirty times, don't want to be beaten, but they have to pay a certain fine. The amount of the fine will also be determined according to their respective circumstances. The minimum is probably one hundred taels of silver, and the maximum is no more than three thousand taels. "
"So, this rumor came from the mouths of those prisoners who were released?" Jin Jing shook her head, "They just came out, they don't behave well and are not careful, how could they dare to spread such gossip that will lose their heads? Don’t want to die?”
"The military advisor does not know that the first batch of young men coming out are those whose families are not short of fines. Even if they live in prison for three to five years, they will not restrain themselves. They will still go their own way and say whatever they want. . They themselves admitted that those words were what they said."
"Did they admit it?" Jin Jing chuckled, "These dandy boys never expected that just a few days after they were released from prison, they would be arrested by Mr. Nan again for talking nonsense."
"No, there is no need for any torture at all, just a little scare, and they will be punished. They don't think there is anything wrong with them. When they were in prison, because their life was so boring, they just chatted when they had nothing to do. People and things outside.”
"This is possible. When they are in prison, no matter what they say, it will not be spread out. But once they come out..." Jin Jing sneered, "Those who don't have a door to their mouths will leave it to themselves." It's causing trouble. So, no one was behind it? I don't think so."
"I think so too." Yerunan nodded and watched the shopkeeper bring a big tray. He shook his head slightly towards the two people and waited for the shopkeeper to place his soup noodles and mouth-cleaning side dishes before leaving before continuing. , "But it's not appropriate to go into a big fight now, it's more appropriate to investigate quietly."
"However, it is expected that such rumors will appear." Shen Cha lowered his voice and said, "If Mr. Lan has not been registered for a day, such rumors will not disappear. This time, it will not disappear in a few days. It will pop up, treating the symptoms but not the root cause." He looked at Yerunan who was snoring and eating noodles, "Looking on coldly, that person didn't mean that."
"Yes, I don't know if I forgot it, or if I really didn't, anyway..." Yerunan shrugged, picked up a piece of mutton from the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth, "He would not take the initiative to mention this matter himself, we He won't say anything to avoid arousing suspicion. Therefore, the general suggested that he go to the army to gain experience, which is the best policy."
"How is Wanyanxi? Did he...did he ask to see the Jin Kingdom's envoy?"
"Ever since the mission came, I have given him requiem incense every day, which makes him feel groggy and has no physical strength or energy to do anything else." Yerunan ate a large bowl of noodles. Jing said, "I went to see him last night and slept very soundly."
"That's good. Requiem incense has no bad effect on people. A slightly larger dose is fine. These people ask him to calm down and don't come out to make trouble. As for those envoys from the Kingdom of Jin, Mr. Nan doesn't have to feel troublesome. , for us, it’s a good excuse.”
"Oh?" Yerunan's eyes lit up, "General Shen means..."
"A good excuse to send troops automatically delivered to your doorstep by the Golden Man."
