Chapter 406 Threat
Zhu Biao pulled the cool towel down from his forehead and covered his eyes. The coolness penetrated into the brain along the eyeballs, and he sighed slightly comfortably.
Seeing that His Highness stopped talking, Liu An didn't dare to make any claims, so he could only wipe away his tears and retreated, waiting for the Lang Zhong to arrive, while Zhu Biao himself was in a state of half-asleep and half-awake.
After a while, several guards of the government surrounded an old man with white beard and hair, and entered the room. The room was blocked from the light from the outside by a screen, so it looked a bit dark. The old man asked Liu An a few words about Zhu Biao. The eating and living conditions that came in, and the situation just now.
After everything was clear, the old man sat down beside the bed. Liu An lifted Bo Jin and was carefully pulled out of Zhu Biao's hand. After sitting down, the old man squinted his eyes with one hand to feel his pulse and the other to stroke his beard. Everyone was silent.
"The deficiency of the main pulse is mainly due to the deficiency of qi and blood or the deficiency of viscera. Your son has a good foundation, but recently it must be due to excessive worry, coupled with unacceptable climate and hard work, so there are some symptoms. I am waiting for the old man to prescribe two prescriptions for calming the nerves and invigorating the qi." Son, it will be good to eat more in the future."
Liu An bowed and said: "Please take a good look at the old man. I will accompany the young master to come here on business under the order of the master. I really dare not be negligent. I will definitely offer you a generous consultation fee."
The old doctor didn't take it seriously either. He had practiced medicine in Pingliang Mansion for many years, and he often treated high-ranking officials and nobles.
The old doctor came again with his good manners, and the people in the house felt more at ease. Liu An personally sent him out, and sent two guards from the government to accompany him back to grab the medicine.
Liu An was not in a hurry to go back to the house to wait on him. After a while, several government guards led another doctor over. The same process went through again. The two people had the same diagnosis, so Liu An felt relieved.
To be honest, if it wasn't for worrying about disturbing His Highness with frequent pulse calls, Liu An would have liked to call four or five doctors for diagnosis to make sure everything was safe.
After Zhu Biao drank the decoction in the afternoon, he didn't get any obvious improvement. He was still groggy, but he felt better after getting up at night and having a meal.
After reluctantly listening to the report of Chen Rongyan and others, he went back to bed and lay down again. Suddenly, he remembered that Zhu Biao in history contracted a disease when he was ordered to inspect Shaanxi, and then died...
Suddenly covered in cold sweat, even though he knew it was just a coincidence and his current illness was not serious, he still felt resistance in his heart, and some wanted to hurry back to Beijing.
He couldn’t afford to die, even Yu Guo and his family could not afford to die, so he made up his mind to resolve this matter as soon as possible and then return to Beijing, and never set foot in Shaanxi-Gansu again in his lifetime!
Just spent the night in fear and irritability, and I don’t know when I fell asleep. Although I was still a little groggy and tired after waking up the next day, I became conscious. After drinking the soup and medicine for breakfast, I immediately called Chen Rongyan and others.
"What were you talking about last night?"
Chen Rongyan replied: "You are not here, and they also know that it is difficult to persuade me. The main thing is to eat and drink. Only Zhao Guangsheng secretly beat me a few words, hoping that I will be smarter and not hinder my son's future."
Zhu Biao looked at Chen Bingxian: "Is the food handover over?"
With a piece of candied fruit in his mouth, Zhu Biao said: "Courtesy first, soldiers later, it seems that I didn't attend the dinner last night, which made them quite dissatisfied. They think that I not only did not show face, but pretended to be sick. Wait, I will probably come soon." People informed that the batch of grain was seized by Wang Shijian."
Lure them with profit, move them with affection, understand them with reason, and threaten them with threats. These are the necessary procedures to pull people into the water. They already took out the first three yesterday, and now is the last step, by threatening interests. Let him submit.
I just don't know if they just want to take advantage of Chen Yunze's power to suppress Wang Shijian, or if they have a bigger conspiracy. After all, Wang Shijian is not a naked imperial envoy.
While the three of them were discussing, someone came outside to announce: "Report to the son, the Pingliang Tongjuan and several gentry masters are here to pay a visit. Would you like to come in?"
"Let's lead into the main hall."
The three of them looked at each other and then got up and walked out of the door. A general judge would also be greeted. After all, the three of them have no official positions, and they cannot treat a local important official.
Walking to the front yard, the two groups of people happened to meet each other. After saluting each other, Li Tongpan looked at Zhu Biao's pale face and said with concern, "How is Mr. Chen? It's because I didn't treat you well. I really shouldn't let you drink so much." Drink more."
Zhu Biao pointed sideways and said: "It's nothing serious, just drink the decoction for a few days. Come on, everyone, please come in and drink tea."
A group of people entered the main hall, Zhu Biao made some courteous exchanges with Li Tongpan, and then sat down at the main seat. After finishing his conversation with a cup of tea, Li Tongpan said, "I just received the news that Mr. Chen Yun The food that came was seized by imperial envoy Wang, Zhao Tongpan went to ask for it but was kicked out, Wuyan came to see the young master, so he could only ask me to notify you."
Zhu Biao's complexion darkened when he heard the words, and his tone was no longer polite: "Then what you guys mean is that this batch of food is meat buns and dogs, and they never returned?"
"After all, the imperial court explicitly forbids the private sale of grain in the disaster area, so Wang Shijian doesn't enter it, it's really..."
boom!
Zhu Biao slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Could it be possible that you really think of me as a bookworm? I don't care about the imperial envoys or what your plans are. The food was lost in your hands. It should be given to me." One tael of silver can't be missing, otherwise... hum!"
Li Tongpan stood up and said: "Mr. Chen misunderstood, no matter what the food is, the money will be delivered to you within three days, but it is a bit difficult to gather orphans without food. It's not good, what do you think, Young Master?"
Zhu Biao's complexion improved when he heard the words, but his tone was still cold and said: "The nobler's errands are naturally run as beautifully as possible, but Qingyang has gathered a lot of orphans, and my son will be able to explain to the nobleman when he returns to Beijing. Don't take me for a fool, Wang Shijian is Jane's imperial envoy, even if I'm not afraid of him, I won't cause you trouble for nothing."
Li Tongpan and the others' faces sank when they heard the words. They didn't expect Chen Yunze to be so transparent. It seemed that it was impossible to pull him onto the boat with a little excitement. That's right. After all, he was from a wealthy family, let alone get The prince entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, but it was not that simple.
