The Moon Over Tang Dynasty Chapter 243

Chapter 243 Shocking Insider: Cold-blooded Greed

Pei Xingjian didn't say anything. He only patted Liuli reassuringly and said, "Don't worry, Silang will definitely be fine." He let go of his hand and was about to walk out. Liuli quickly grabbed him and asked, "What are you doing again?"

Pei Xingjian glanced at Liuli hesitantly, then suddenly lowered his head and put his mouth to her ear. Liuli was busy listening attentively, but she heard a smiling voice, "Don't leak the secret!" She couldn't help but be startled. Pei Xingjian stepped away with a smile, quickly lifted the curtain and went out, leaving her standing there grinding her teeth.

In the front yard, Ayan was waiting in front of the house with a restless expression. She looked up and saw Pei Xingjian walking over, and was slightly surprised, "Alang!"

Pei Xingjian waved his hand, "I know everything. Don't be anxious. Go home and wait. Shiro will definitely be back in about half an hour." After thinking for a while, he added, "You might as well prepare some hot water and sober up the wine. Soup."

Ayan was stunned immediately. Why did Alang say that he knew everything without even asking? There's also sobering soup... Didn't Han Si visit a doctor? How could you drink too much? But he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you A Lang. It was A Yan who disturbed A Lang and my wife."

Pei Xingjian smiled and said, "It's okay. It's difficult for Shiro today. Don't blame him."

yan became more and more puzzled. When she looked up, she saw Pei Xingjian turning his head and looking at Xiaomi. Xiaomi took a step forward with a smile, "Sister yan, I'll take you back."

After Ayan calmed down, she felt that her feet were indeed a little heavy. She held onto Xiaomi's stretched out hand, said goodbye and turned away. She heard Pei Xingjian's instructions from behind, "Go to the back mask room and ask, has A Sheng been there?" Are you back? Ask Bai San to come here quickly!"

　　白三? Ayan's heart moved: Bai San was originally a popular figure in the city, and now he has followed Alang for six or seven years. Now in Xizhou City, there are probably not enough people who dare not give him face, and they only follow Alang on weekdays. Doing some important errands, now it's just a small matter of finding someone at night, how can he be used? Her mind, which had already been somewhat composed, suddenly became a little unsteady.

 The second watch has passed, and it is the early coolness of the autumn night. All the houses in Xizhou have been closed and locked, but there are still some brightly lit places inside the gates. In a wine shop next to the south wall of Luoyangfang, the guests at the tables downstairs had all drunk a lot. In the midst of the laughter and noise, the woman who warmed the wine and the waiter who served the food were all accused of making a mess. It was much quieter upstairs. The waiters were waiting at the entrance of the stairs to serve the only table of guests. However, there were five or six prostitutes happily crowding around a drunkard who couldn't even lift his head. It was in the wine shop. It is common to surround prostitutes in order to make drunk customers sweat and heat up, and to dispel some of the drunkenness. After a while, someone reached out and touched the guest's forehead and said with a smile, "I'm sweating."

The drinker sitting at the other end also laughed. He stood up and explored the drunken man's hot forehead. A satisfied smile appeared on his face. He patted his shoulder and called "Doctor Han!"

Han Si opened his eyes drowsily, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked around and was startled. He even woke up from the drunkenness. He waved and shouted, "You guys get out first, get out!"

The prostitutes immediately burst into laughter, "It turns out he is a tender-faced one," and someone else laughed, "You don't recognize this Korean miracle doctor? His wife is a powerful one..." They pushed each other to get up and went to the drinkers opposite. He took the money in his hand and went downstairs amidst the laughter of "Thank you Dr. Guo".

Han Si raised his forehead and looked outside, frowned and said, "What time is it...?"

Physician Guo smiled and said, "It's probably past the second watch."

Han Si was startled, and stood up unsteadily while pressing the desk, "It's so late, Han Si must go home, uncle Gao Yi, thank you another day, thank you another day!" Then leave.

Dr. Guo said hurriedly, "No hurry, no rush. I have written down the prescription you just mentioned. Can you help me take a look?" As he spoke, he unfolded a piece of writing paper and pushed it in front of Han Si. Han Si hurriedly scanned it. He glanced at it and squinted his eyes, "Ginseng, seven qian, and kudzu flower, five qian. My uncle forgot to write it down, but the other ones are all correct."

Doctor Guo folded his hands and saluted, "Thank you!" He looked at the sky and said, "It's too late now. You're too drunk. I'm afraid you'll have to chat with the guard for half a day, so why don't you just stay in the dormitory for one night?" Come back tomorrow?”

Han Si waved his hands, "I can't do it, I can't do it!"

Doctor Guo's face darkened, "Silang, since you call me uncle, why can't you go to my house? Maybe it's because you feel that my uncle's house is simple and simple, which has wronged you, a miracle doctor."

Han Si hurriedly said, "Don't dare! Doesn't my uncle's nephew go there often? It's just that it's too late today, and my family is probably thinking about it already. I'd better go back earlier." As soon as he took a step, his body swayed. , hurriedly holding the table with his hands before barely standing still.

Dr. Guo rushed over and helped him, "Be careful." He picked up the medicine box for him and helped him walk slowly downstairs. He sighed, "You are the most like your father in your impatience. I don't know when it will be changed!”

The waiters in the store had been waiting at the top of the stairs. When they saw the two people coming down, they rushed over to help them. Even the shopkeeper came over and said with a smile, "Why did Mr. Han drink like this?" and called another waiter. Come up and help.

While he was busy, he heard someone at the door saying, "Is this the house?" The voice was quite unkind.

The shopkeeper hurriedly turned around and saw a tall figure stepping in. Standing at the door with his arms folded, his eyes swept across the room like lightning. When he saw Han Si, his expression softened and he turned around and said , "You guys help Dr. Han back." As he said this, he stepped away, and two sturdy men walked in quickly, walked to Han Si's side, picked him up and left.

The shopkeeper was secretly surprised. He smiled and stepped forward to hold his hands. "Why is Saburo free today? The shop has newly arrived wine. Do you want to take a sip?"

 Bai Sanlang said coldly, "Bai is on an errand!" Without saying much, he followed Han Si and left. The shopkeeper was stunned, and Dr. Guo's expression changed slightly. He narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment before turning around and walking away. The young boy outside the door was crying and just said, "Alang, just now Bai Sanlang brought people to the house and only asked us to make friends. I can't help it..."

Dr. Guo frowned and said, "That's all, you go upstairs and get my medicine box and go back. Tell your wife that I won't be back until later." He hurried straight to a house at the east gate of the square and just arrived. At the door, the ebony door opened with a creak. He stuck his head out and nodded to Dr. Guo, then held up the lamp and led the way, taking him to the outer study, and whispered, "Alang, Dr. Guo is here. "

A deep voice sounded from the door curtain, "Please come in quickly." The face revealed at the corner of the door curtain was none other than Zhang Huaiji, who had joined the army during the expedition to Xizhou. When he saw Dr. Guo, he smiled bitterly and said, "But Bai San took the person away in the past? He just found us here too. This guy is really difficult to deal with!" He shook his head repeatedly.

Doctor Guo laughed and said, "Bai San came a little late. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my fate!"

Zhang Huaiji's eyes suddenly lit up, "Have you deduced Han Si's words? That Mrs. Chang Shi..."

Doctor Guo nodded, took a step forward, and lowered his voice, "I'm afraid Mrs. Chang Shi will be almost healed a long time ago. The one who is really unlikely to be healed is Pei Chang Shi!"

Zhang Huaiji looked at Dr. Guo in astonishment, and then shook his head decisively, "It's absolutely impossible. It's not the first day we met him. He looks frail, but he is skillful with bow and horse, and his drinking capacity is astonishing. How can he Half a bit sickly?"

Doctor Guo sighed, "I didn't know what I was doing when I joined the army. It's not a disease, it's just the word "drink" that brings disaster!" He lowered his voice and reported back how he tricked Han Si into revealing the truth bit by bit today. After hearing it again, Zhang Huaiji became more and more surprised and confused, "So... can you believe this?"

Dr. Guo chuckled, "I have been practicing medicine for many years, but I still can't tell the difference between being drunk and pretending to be drunk. How can Han Si, who is so drunk, be able to make up such a seamless lie? Besides, this man who drank and had **** in his youth hurt his body. I have seen a few of them, and most of them are heirs who are in a difficult situation. Even if they have one or two, it is extremely difficult to support them. That is the deficiency they carry in the womb. When the prescription for treating this disease came out, he deliberately made two mistakes. When he was slightly drunk and tried it again, he could see it at a glance, which shows that he is really used to this prescription. "

Zhang Huaiji squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, then nodded slowly, "No wonder, no wonder! This Pei Changshi has nothing to do in these years of marriage. He has not even accepted a concubine, not even a good-looking maid. We just He thought he was too henpecked, but it turned out to be true! Also, Han Shilang went back a little late today, and he actually sent Bai San here to look for him. I'm afraid it was because of his guilty conscience! So, he sneered and shook his head for a while, just thinking of Bai San's menacing appearance, he sighed with some fear, "Thankfully, we invited a doctor to come out today. In Xizhou City, that is, you and Han Si are still there." There is some degree of friendship, otherwise..."

Doctor Guo also smiled and said, "Don't worry about joining the army! Han Si drank too much today. When he wakes up, he may not be able to remember anything. Even if he remembers a sentence or two, he still dares to tell Pei Changshi?"

The two discussed for a few more words, and then Zhang Huaiji sent Dr. Guo out in person, then turned and entered the backyard. As soon as the door curtain was raised, Madam Xiao Zhishi came out in a hurry, "How? Can we find out the clues?" "

 Zhang Huaiji said calmly, "There are some things that I'm afraid you may have to change your mind about!"

Xiao Zhishi was suddenly stunned, "What do you mean by this?" In order to find out about this matter, Zhang Huaiji sent several concubines to kneel in the cold ground, and made two Fenghan out of trouble, just to find out. So how is Cudi's health? Can his illness be cured? Why is he now speaking like this?

Zhang Huaiji sat down and took a sip of water, then told the whole story of today's events, "I think this is most likely true. That is to say, you women can't hold your breath, and you haven't found out about the ugly Yinmao. People are fighting in a mess, as if the wife of the governor of Xizhou and the Pei family's legitimate son are already in your pocket. Even a powerful character like the Cudi family dares not to look down on them, and you want to send them to your door to ask for it. It's boring! Let's see how you end up doing this. It's better to say that your sister is better at pushing the governor to come forward, so she won't offend anyone!”

Zhi had been dumbfounded for a long time, and only then did she come back to her senses, "Didn't I say anything to that Kudi? If we didn't have the position of an equal wife, would it be possible that the daughter we had raised for these years would have been in vain?" A daughter of a Hu Shang performing a concubine ceremony?" After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "This way, it saves trouble. Anyway, the Changshi Mansion will never take a concubine, so that people can spot the clues... Now, it just depends on whether your niece, who has been supported by the family for more than 20 years, can seriously come up with some tricks!"

Liuli straightened up and turned to look at Pei Xingjian blankly, almost dumbfounded.

Pei Xingjian looked casual, as if he just said something ordinary, "This is not a lie. Si Lang also said that I should drink less alcohol, otherwise it will hurt my health to some extent, but now I will Only by saying it is ten points can we teach those people to stop thinking."

Liuli thought for a long time before sighing, "You..."

Pei Xingjian smiled and pressed her head on his chest, "Those people stop bothering us so that we can take good care of ourselves. It doesn't matter if someone gossips behind his back. When we give birth to four or five children, we will naturally have nothing to say. ”

Liuli thought about it for a while and felt that this matter was a little unreliable. She didn't know how to answer the question for a while, so she could only say, "It's okay if you don't have to deal with them."

Pei Xingjian let out a breath and his voice became slightly darker, "I'm afraid it's not possible not to deal with him now."

Liuli looked up at him unexpectedly, "Isn't this okay?"

There was a hint of cold ridicule on Pei Xingjian's lips, "You still underestimate those so-called wealthy families. Of course, what they value most is family status and reputation, but what they lack most is cold-bloodedness and greed."
