Xu Wanning walked out of the secret passage, and Huang was waiting for her in the room.
"Mrs. Wang." Xu Wanning smiled.
"What's your name, Mrs. Wang? Please call me sister. Today, my mother-in-law brought a lot of bacon from my hometown, and I prepared a few pieces for you. This meat is smoked, with a smell of firewood, and is fragrant. Very good."
Wang Xingmin on the side couldn't help but drooled.
"No, that's a specialty of our hometown. It's very delicious. I don't think it's okay, but my mouth is watering when I mention it."
Huang took Xu Wanning's hand and taught her how to make it, "The meat is now hard, like a stone, and it is difficult to cut. Boil it in water first, then cut it into thin slices while it is hot, and use it to stir-fry chili peppers, and go with wine and rice. .
Children don't like spicy food. Cut it into thin slices and steam it over rice. It will be fat but not greasy, and thin but not burnt. You will want to eat it again after eating it once. "
Xu Wanning swallowed her saliva and said exaggeratedly: "It goes without saying that after eating it the first time, I wanted to eat it a second time. As soon as my sister said it, I wanted to eat it now. Then I would rather obey her orders and accept it."
"Take it, it's not a valuable thing, just a few strips of meat." Huang happily held Xu Wanning's hand from the house to the gate.
The carriage has stopped at the gate of the county government office.
Wang Xingmin picked up Chang'an, held him on the carriage frame, and patted the child's head lovingly: "Come and play often when you have time!"
Huang also held Xu Wanning's hand, "Come and spend more time with me. My sister doesn't have many friends here."
"I will definitely come. My sister can also take Fang Yuan to my house to sit there, and my mother is always at home alone."
"Go, I must go!" Huang watched Xu Wanning leave reluctantly.
Seeing that the carriage was gone without a trace, he followed Wang Xingmin back to his house.
The group of officials from the Yamen Mansion who were watching the excitement all saw it, but they did not discuss it immediately. Instead, they waited until Huang and Wang Xingmin left and went far away before they gathered together to murmur.
"Have you seen it? Mr. Wang is really going to marry Miss Xu now, and even Mrs. Wang has agreed."
"Look at the scene when he hugged Miss Xu's son just now. Does it look like he was hugging his own son? Tsk tsk, that doting look in his eyes... He is treating Miss Xu's son as his own."
"Come on, let's make a bet and see when Mr. Wang will hold a happy event. Before or after the new year, let's place your bets. I'll bet on the year before."
"Then I'll bet on it after the New Year."
"I'll also buy one after the New Year."
After all, there are only two and a half months left in the New Year.
"Be brave, Mr. Wang has already convinced Mrs. Wang to accept Miss Xu, and the two of them are like sisters. How can Mr. Wang not work hard to win the beauty back? I bet it will be years before!"
A group of people were hiding in the room, coming and going. Su Yi sharply saw a person coming in from outside, and he coughed three times.
"Oh hum..."
"Su San, what are you doing? Your throat is itchy? Have you placed a bet?"
Su Yi winked at him, but the man still didn't understand: "What's wrong with your eyes? Are they pinpricks?"
Su Yi: "..."
A bunch of pig heads, you can’t even carry them!
He stopped helping these pigs. He stood up and clasped his fists respectfully: "Sir..."
The people in the room were instantly petrified.
Big, big, big, lord?
People in the room quickly got up and drooped their heads: "Sir, sir..."
"What are you doing?" Wang Xingmin simply asked. Everyone present was silent, and no one dared to speak.
say what?
Is it possible to say that we are betting on whether you will marry a wife before or after this year?
Wang Xingmin simply asked. The next second, the conversation changed and he immediately arranged a task: "The New Year is coming soon. Everyone is divided into two teams to inspect the Broken Jade Pavilion and Huawo Pavilion immediately."
Everyone looks at me and I look at you, go to a brothel?
"Sir, the government usually inspects brothels after the New Year. It has already been inspected once this year. Another inspection will have to wait until after the Chinese New Year. Now that there is a sudden order to inspect brothels, I am afraid that people will be panicked!"
Brothels are also an industry in the district. They must be stable and prosperous. If the government suddenly comes over for inspection, this inspection will mean that they will be closed for at least ten and a half months. The Chinese New Year is just around the corner in two and a half months, and now is the time. When business is booming, a sudden inspection...
Afraid of affecting public sentiment!
"Go. I got a report from a clerk at a small medical clinic here, saying that someone took medicine from his shop and went back to treat the disease. I'm afraid that the disease will not come easily, so I have to start with the brothels in our city. "
"What's the disease?" someone asked in confusion.
Wang Xingmin took a long breath: "Hua Liu disease."
Everyone present looked at me and I looked at you. No one dared to object. They immediately divided their troops into two groups and secretly sealed off the two brothels in the southern district of the city.
Wang Xingmin found two more doctors and went directly into two medical clinics carrying medicine boxes.
Of course the madam would not agree. After all, she couldn't open this brothel by herself, and there were so many adults covering it. To check suddenly at this time, and to take a pulse every day, didn't this obviously mean that there were patients in the brothel?
Her girls are all clean, where are the diseases?
The two madams had already begged the people above them, and they wanted to put pressure on Wang Xingmin. They said lightly: "Why don't you humble yourself and go talk to the chief governor?"
Are you trying to drag the Governor into this?
Why did the governor get involved in a brothel incident?
To involve Pei Heng is to involve Jin Linwei. It is not as simple as a doctor sitting in charge.
If Jin Linwei stops here, his income at the end of the year will be wiped out.
Which industry doesn’t rely on a rush of income at the end of the year?
The people above did not dare to speak, for fear of attracting Pei Heng, so they had to ask Wang Xingmin to complete the investigation and evacuate as soon as possible.
Wang Xingmin was also very kind: "Easy to say, I will stay for ten days. I will leave immediately after ten days. It will definitely not affect the business."
People only say to stay for ten days, so just stay for ten days.
The madams of the two brothels saw that there was no business, and all their former customers had gone to other cities to patronize, and their hearts were bleeding!
The days passed like years, and on the second day, the doctor checked the pulses of everyone in the brothel just like the first day.
One after another, the girls stood in a long queue without any makeup, yawning, and asked the doctor to take their pulse.
"What is this government doing here? Are you really so kind, just check our pulse?"
"It doesn't matter what he does. Anyway, we can rest for ten days, so why don't we take a break. We don't have to accompany those stinky men every day, which will make us exhausted."
Ahead, there was a sudden commotion.
There seems to be something wrong with one of the girls named Meteor.
The doctor was asking the female doctor who came with him to take Meteor inside to check it carefully again.
Meteor wouldn't give in.
"I'm in very good health, but he insisted on letting me inside for another look. I don't want to look at it." Meteor felt that there was nothing wrong with him, but the doctor had a solemn look on his face, as if he was seriously ill and was about to die.
Upon hearing this, the madam looked at the angry meteor and explained to the doctor and the policeman with a smile: "My daughter is in very good health and there is no problem at all. Did you make a wrong diagnosis?"
The doctor was an old man in his fifties. When he heard that his medical skills were not good, his beard stood up.
"Ever since I could walk, I have watched my father treat others in the hospital. Since I was five years old, I have memorized the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, Compendium of Materia Medica, and Qian Jin Prescription. I have learned to feel the pulse from my father since I was ten. For consultation, I have been a doctor for a longer period of time than you, and you say that my medical skills are not good?"
Su Yi came over and said with a dark face, "This doctor was hired by Mr. Wang with a lot of money. His words are Mr. Wang's words. If you want to read it again, you can go and read it again. There is so much nonsense! If you don't want to read it, Why don't you go talk to Mr. Wang?"
When the madam heard this, she waved her hands and said with a smile: "No, no, no, come and see now, go now!"
Even if Meteor didn't want to, he had no choice but to follow the female doctor to the house to take a look.
A quarter of an hour later, the female doctor came out and whispered a few words into the ear of the doctor, who was in his fifties. The doctor's face was ashen, he put down the patient he was seeing, and immediately went to report to Su Yi.
When Su Yi got the news, he immediately locked up the person and sent someone to report to Wang Xingmin.
Wang Xingmin was at Broken Jade Hall, where a girl named Xiu Niang was also diagnosed.
