When we walked out of Zhengyangmen, the sky was already dark.
It was vaguely possible to see the faces of passers-by.
Baicaotang had already turned on the lights. From a distance, they could see Xiao Wu and Xiao Lin sweating profusely from their busy work. The door was already crowded with people, each shouting at the top of their lungs.
'Something happened in Baicaotang? '
Zhang Kun paused, and this thought flashed through his mind, but then he thought about it. His medical clinic usually helps the poor, charges less for medical treatment, and has not accumulated any grievances. The waiters and maids are all honest, and they will not be tolerated. against.
Could it be that the previous invasion of the palace triggered a counterattack by the rear party?
Fortunately, Wang Jingya and Li Xiaowan were arranged to go to the Yuanshun Escort Bureau in advance, so there was no danger.
Listening again, it's not the same thing.
"Brother Wu, just let my boy in. He doesn't eat much, he's a good worker, and he doesn't need money."
"Brother Lin, you see, although my daughter is pretty, she is used to working at home and is very good at serving others. Otherwise, let her bring tea and water to Mr. Zhang on weekdays. It will definitely be useful. .”
In the midst of the commotion, someone with sharp eyes saw Zhang Kun's figure.
He immediately shouted happily: "Master Zhang is back."
Hurrah, a group of people rushed up.
There were a lot of chatter, and there were voices.
"Master Zhang, are you okay? I heard that you went to the palace to fight. Everyone is holding weapons and preparing to overthrow those gentlemen with you."
He was holding a dung fork in his hand, and the smell was touching.
"Yes, on weekdays, those dog officers will exploit us. They do bad things and kill well."
A big-footed woman's face lit up with excitement.
"Doctor Zhang, my old waist injury has healed well after your acupuncture, and I am preparing to come to say thank you. Seeing that you are now in good health, we are all relieved." The gray-haired old man shed tears. smiled.
"Some brothers, seeing that Cui Yuming was as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog, they gathered people and burned his family's outer house..."
"What a relief."
The greetings were mixed with very discordant sounds.
Zhang Kun turned around and saw an honest, thin, dark, middle-aged man. His face was full of enthusiasm, his nostrils were breathing heavily, and he was pointing due west, where there was a faint red light rising...
It turns out that Cui Yuming's house was burned down.
Zhang Kun was stunned.
Looking at the people around them, they all had regrets and regrets on their faces, but no one felt any fear, and their hearts trembled.
'At this time, if I raised my arms and shouted, these hundreds of people would really dare to wave their hoes and dung forks and charge into the palace. Even if they were happy today and dead tomorrow, they probably wouldn't care. '
Zhang Kun suddenly realized that although he had been here for a while, he had not seen this era clearly at all.
I have no idea what these poor people are thinking.
I think of the records in the history books that when the foreign coalition forces appeared in the capital and attacked the imperial city, most of the people in the capital volunteered to transport artillery shells and food for the foreign army.
Moreover, there were many people who risked their lives to fight for the foreigners and carried ladders to attack the city, without fear of death.
When people were bullied, they would not go to the yamen to complain. Instead, they would go to the foreign temple or the foreign army to cry and seek justice.
Also, when the most beautiful garden in the capital, the "Wanhua Garden", was burned down, the foreigners only focused on emptying out the capital's best treasures and gold and silver, while the people of the capital mobilized the whole city, followed behind, looted gold, silver, food, and burned everything.
Whose country is this?
There were faint howls and shouts from everywhere, and patrol battalion horse teams patrolled the streets. The commotion quickly subsided.
Only Baicaotang is left here, no one dares to come, and no one wants to come.
"quiet!"
Zhang Kun shouted loudly. Seeing that these fanatical people gradually calmed down, he pondered for a while before speaking: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Zhang, for waiting here for a long time."
"Master Zhang is very righteous and will not stand in the way. No one dares to disobey any orders given."
A man raised his arms and smiled.
There was a response all around.
"However, today's matter is a personal grudge between Zhang and Eunuch Cui and others. It must not affect others. Since he escaped from the palace without any injuries, the matter has passed. Even if there is something in the palace Zhang has such abilities, no matter what happens, you can still escape if you want to, and you must not confront him directly."
"Master Zhang..."
"Who doesn't know that Dr. Zhang is kind-hearted on weekdays and helps us see doctors, but he just takes a few cents for free. He hates the suffering of our people... If something happens, how can we just sit back and watch? The big guy said, right? "
"yes."
"What happened today was also because Master Zhang got rid of the poisonous doctor Wang Taihe and rescued those children. Eunuch Cui and others have done all the evil things. They really deserve to die, so they will be killed. Even if they overthrow the court When Master Zhang gives the order, we will have nothing to say."
"Let's break up."
Zhang Kun was a little tired.
I don't want to rebel now.
Why did two of them put me on the fire to roast me?
Can't we still live this life?
He knew it.
In fact, these people just have their passions touched, and they have been oppressed for a long time, and their grievances are too deep, and they just want to find an outlet at this time.
Today, they can shout slogans after themselves, saying that they have overthrown the court.
You may be tempted by others to do other things tomorrow.
It’s not that I really admire and respect myself much.
Human hearts are complex.
Why do you think so?
'Dragon Qi, dragon Qi points, you shout, you must contribute some dragon Qi points. I've been yelling for a long time, but I haven't given any. Are you kidding me? '
"Master Zhang, news just came out from the palace that Eunuch Cui died on the spot, and the palace monkey was beaten unconscious. You even fought with that old man Yin for 300 rounds, and only quit after seeing that he was outnumbered. Yangxin Palace… is truly a hero.”
"Master Zhang, are you the number one in the capital at that time?"
Zhang Kun squeezed through the crowd and headed towards Baicaotang.
When I suddenly heard these words, my body was shocked, and then shocked again.
Look intently.
Fortunately, he was not an old beggar who told fortunes, but a powerful middle-aged man.
Zhang Kun cupped his hands and forced out a smile: "We're still far from it. I don't dare to think about being number one. It's good to be able to protect myself."
Just as he said this, two riders came over quickly, the first one being Wang Jingya.
When she reached the door, she reined in her horse, jumped into the middle of the street, and shouted: "Quick, don't delay, go to Yuanshun Escort Agency."
She rolled her eyes and complained: "Why did you come to Baicao Hall? You did such a big thing and your reputation spread all over the capital. You don't want to hide and you still show your face. Don't you think it's not enough trouble?"
"What trouble?"
Wang Jingya opened her mouth, but before she could elaborate, she saw hundreds of people approaching in darkness at the end of the long street, carrying torches and holding swords and guns.
The leading few looked solemn and had murderous intent on their bodies.
Behind them, there were people carrying two corpses, and everyone looked heavy.
"It's them. It's not easy to deal with this time."
Wang Jingya said helplessly.
Her injury hadn't fully healed yet, and she was in such a hurry that her face looked a little pale.
