Chapter 23 The Inspector and the Long History
When Murong heard Xiang Changshi coming, she immediately stood up and looked at the door. Even the governor Han Pan opened his eyes and turned his head slightly to the direction of the door.
Gua Governor General Xiang Chengwei and Governor Han Pan have completely opposite personalities. No one can offend Han Pan, but Xiang Chengwei offended all the people who can offend. He has a weird personality and is very difficult to talk about, and it can even be said to be extremely difficult to get along with.
In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the two leaders of Guazhou is not very harmonious, and they are even a little unconfrontational. But this is only seen by outsiders. In fact, Han Pan and Xiang Chengwei are very satisfied with each other in private. Even if Xiang Chengwei can come to Guazhou as the chief minister, Han Pan himself wanted to come!
Why is this? The reason is actually very simple, there is only one thing, that is, two people have their own needs and each has their own gains. Things in the officialdom are not as simple as they seem to be on the surface.
Han Pan wants to be a good man, and no one wants to offend him, but as a state governor, it is too difficult to offend others, so he has to find someone else to offend him. Xiang Chengwei is famous for offending whoever he sees. The real best candidate, if Xiang Chengwei offends others in front, Han Pan will be mixed up. Once he mixes with him, others will say good things. Everyone says he is easy to get along with and a good reputation, wouldn’t he be promoted? Maybe he can really go back to the capital to become an official, who doesn’t want to make progress!
As for Xiang Chengwei, he knew that he had a bad temper, had offended too many people, and it was difficult to get promoted. Then it was the most realistic to capture all the power in front of him. With Han Pan, the governor who ignored everything, he could naturally capture the military and political power of Guazhou. A young husband should not be without money for a day, and a real man should not be without power for a day. What he wanted was the final say, and only Han Pan could be the final say.
Both of them have what they need, and when they get along, they get what they need. So on the surface, they don’t think they can deal with each other, but in private, they don’t know how much they like, so they just kowtow and bow to their hands.
Han Pan got sick these days, and Xiang Chengwei was really anxious. He ran to Han Pan every day, and was eager to urge the doctors in the hospital, and even asked someone to warn him that he would not be able to cure Han Pan's disease, so he would be polite. Not only that, he also sent someone to Linzhou to invite a doctor for Han Pan.
Zhou Yujin was more involved than Ji Xin. He knew that Xiang Chengwei had the final say in Guazhou. Han Pan couldn't afford to be ill, and Xiang Chengwei was so anxious, so he got the prescription for treatment from Yang Ze. He did not come to Han Pan first, but went to Xiang Chengwei. In this game, he was betting the right person.
Xiang Chengwei had heard Ma Denggao's folk remedy that made Han Pan reveal his butt, and was so angry that he smoked his orifices. If it weren't for leaving Han Pan the last way to cure his illness, he would have easily given Ma Denggao a prescription. Today Zhou Yujin went to find him and told him about the prescription of Xiao Jianzhong Decoction and promised that he could cure the disease. Xiang Chengwei was really overjoyed and immediately took Zhou Yujin to see Han Pan himself.
Xiang Chengwei didn't enter the house and said first, and he shouted: "Mr. Han, are you getting better today?" As he said that, he lifted his official robe and stepped into the door.
Murong took a happy fortune at him and said, "Sir Xiang, you are here just in time. My husband's illness has no sign of improvement. He is so weak that he can't even speak. I'm going to be anxious."
She pointed to Zhou Yujin again and said, "Justice Ji said that the medical staff had come up with a way to cure the disease. The doctor Zhou wanted to treat it. I wonder what the method is?"
Xiang Chengwei was stunned and turned around and said to Zhou Yujin: "Didn't you say that you thought about that method yourself? Xie Ke stayed at home for a long time before he came up with a good method!"
Before Zhou Yujin answered, Ji Xinben took over the conversation and said, "Mr. Changshi misunderstood. The method of Zhou's doctor's official was thought out by our entire medical center. My father-in-law should have been treated by the governor himself. It was just because my father-in-law has been overworking recently and is afraid that the mistake will delay the governor's condition. Therefore, this is what happened to the doctor Zhou. If Changshi doesn't believe it, let the doctor from the clinic come, you will know as soon as you ask!"
Zhou Yujin was furious. Ji Xinben said this too unethical, but he could not refute it in public, otherwise he would offend all the people in the medical center. He must not do the food alone, otherwise even if he overthrew Ma Denggao, he would not be able to stay in the medical center in the future!
But Xiang Chengwei was not easy to fool. He frowned and thought, "I just said a good method. Why did this Ji really tell me the method? It was obviously just a prescription. As long as you bring the prescription, anyone can come to treat Han Pan. Even if Ma Denggao is bedridden, he will not give the credit to others. How could he send an outsider? Even if someone is sent, it is Ji, not Zhou Yujin! It seems that this prescription was really thought out by Zhou Yujin alone, so it is certain."
Xiang Chengwei thought it clearly, but he didn't say it out loud. He looked at Ji Xinben and snorted, "Don't you want to compete for me?" OK, if you want to compete for me, you have to take risks at the same time. If this prescription is not good, I see what you will say at that time, and I won't open your butt."
But Murong didn't care about this. She was the governor's wife. For her, no matter whether it was a black cat or a white cat, as long as the mouse could be caught, it would be a good cat. The same is true for the doctor. No matter who came up with the solution, as long as the doctor who could cure her husband's illness was a good doctor.
Murong said, "Don't talk about this for now, please ask the doctor Zhou to treat my husband quickly. How to treat it? As long as my husband doesn't lose his authority!"
Zhou Yujin hurriedly said, "When he said, "I am not using the method, but the prescription. The prescription has been brought by Bei Zi. Just take the medicine according to the prescription and decoct it. At most two doses can be effective." As he said that, he presented the prescription.
Murong looked at the prescription and shook his head and said, "I can't understand these. Do you think it can be cured in just two doses? Is this prescription really so effective?"
Zhou Yujin hesitated for a moment, then nodded solemnly and said, "From the current condition of the governor, two doses of this prescription will be effective, but the disease comes like a mountain of falling, and the disease goes like a thread to get rid of it. If it is cured, this... I'm afraid I have to take a few more doses to complete!"
Murong was overjoyed and said, "That's nature, that's natural. There is no reason to just take two doses of medicine when treating diseases. Even the imperial doctors in the capital do not have such skills. People come, but they don't go to get the medicine and decoct it quickly."
She handed the prescription to the servant and asked the servant to go and boil the medicine immediately.
Murong said to Zhou Yujin: "Mr. Zhou, please sit in the flower hall. Xiao Cui'er will give Lord Zhou the best tea."
The maid named Xiao Cui asked, "Is it the best tribute tea that my wife brought back from Beijing last time?"
"That's all, of course it's just a tribute tea. Go quickly!" Murong waved.
Xiao Cui led Zhou Yujin to the flower hall. Ji Xinben felt embarrassed. The governor's wife didn't take him seriously at all. She didn't even mean to ask him to go to the flower hall for tea. When he saw that the governor's wife was about to talk to Xiang Changshi, it was inappropriate for him to listen next to him, so he had to shamelessly follow Zhou Yujin to the flower hall.
Only Han Pan and Xiang Chengwei were left in the room, as well as Murong. Murong said: "Sir Xiang, can the prescription work this time?"
Xiang Chengwei pondered for a moment and said, "Looking at this prescription, it should be effective. Mrs. Han, don't worry, Linzhou's medical officer should be coming soon, I think medical officers will always have a solution."
Murong sighed and said, "If the doctor is not able to do anything? I heard that the doctor is not able to cure any disease. Could it be that we will go to the capital to invite the imperial doctor? But time is not enough."
Xiang Chengwei suddenly said, "Even if the doctor cannot cure it, I have a choice. Although I am not very famous now, I will definitely be a famous doctor in the future. I heard that he has cured the eldest son of Wei, cured the illness of General Han's mother, and cured the disease of my child a few days ago. My wife praised him! By the way, my wife came from her hometown, and I have to go back early today. My child had some minor illness on the road. Although he has cured it, I still... I won't talk about my affairs for now. Anyway, the candidate I mentioned is absolutely reliable."
Murong said with a whisper, "Your wife is here? Ah, ah, when my husband's illness is cured another day, I will hold a banquet to wash my sister-in-law. Who do you think that person is? He cured Mrs. Han's illness? General Han is an elder in my husband's clan. The lady has a strange disease, so we know it too!"
Guazhou Governor Han Pan and Fuyuan General Han Chengen are members of the tribe. Of course, the Han family is very large. They have long been distant relatives of the five squads, but Han Chengen is a chief official in the border area, so even if they are distant relatives, Murong will still try to climb them.
Xiang Chengwei said: "This man is named Yang Ze. He is very young, but his medical skills are very good. I heard from my wife that he was recommended by the magistrate of the Security County to come to our Guazhou for the exam. He has arrived in Guazhou and probably should have come to meet Lord Han, but he hasn't seen him. He will come again in a few days. If the medical officer has no choice, then it is okay to let Yang Ze try it."
Murong knew a little about the family affairs of Wei Hou, the governor of Linzhou. She said happily: "It doesn't matter if you are young or not. As long as you have high medical skills, you can cure diseases that cannot be cured by doctors. That must be capable. When he comes, he will definitely ask him to treat his husband."
Xiang Chengwei nodded, walked to the bedside, comforting Han Pan, but unfortunately Han Pan was so sick that he couldn't even speak. He could only listen to Xiang Chengwei, but he couldn't speak.
After a while, the servant decocted the medicine and brought it into the room. Murong helped Han Pan up and fed him the medicine. Han Pan lay down for a while and suddenly yelled.
The governor spoke, Xiang Chengwei and Murong were overjoyed, and went to the bedside together, and asked Chengwei: "Mr. Han, are you better?"
Han Pan croaked and said, "Okay, okay, it's much better, my stomach doesn't hurt as much as before!"
Xiang Chengwei smiled and clapped his hands and said, "The stomach doesn't hurt anymore? It seems that this medicine is really good, and it will be effective immediately after taking it, which is very good!"
Murong sat on the edge of the bed, held Han Pan's hand, and kept saying, "Thank God, thank God, husband, just don't hurt anymore!"
Xiang Chengwei said: "I'll go out and praise Zhou Yujin. I also want to tell him that as long as Lord Han's illness is cured, he will be promoted to his post and let him become a doctor in Guazhou Medical Center. I saw that Ma Denggao was so old that he should have given up to the young man long ago!" As he said that, he strode out of the room and went to the flower hall.
In the flower hall, Zhou Yujin and Ji Xinben glared at me and I glared at you, and didn't say anything, and they didn't feel the mood to taste the best tribute tea.
Ji Xinben stared at Zhou Yujin and thought to himself: "Wait, you will have good fruits to eat in the future!"
Zhou Yujin refused to show weakness at all, and also stared at Ji Xinben. He thought to himself: "You and your father-in-law, a pair of wastes. If I get power, I will drive you two out of the hospital together!"
With the sound of footsteps, Xiang Chengwei entered the flower hall and saw a smile on his face. As soon as he entered the flower hall, he said, "Mr. Zhou, your prescription is really good. Lord the governor can speak after only a moment of taking it, and he also said that his stomach will not hurt. It seems that your reputation as the number one in medical skills in Guazhou is really worthy of its name, not false at all!"
Speaking of the word "false", Xiang Chengwei glanced at Ji Xinben, and only glanced at him, and then ignored him.
Zhou Yujin was overjoyed. He knew it worked as soon as he saw the prescription. But no matter how he decided that the prescription was useful, he was still nervous. Now that he heard Xiang Chengwei say this, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
He hurriedly stood up and said, "It's just a lucky chance. It's all the governors, and they are all the governors. If they hadn't trusted the chiefs, they wouldn't have dared to offer this place!"
Ji Xinben was very anxious. The condition of the governor of Qing'er had improved. The credit was all Zhou Yujin, and he had nothing to do! He said anxiously: "Sir Changshi, that prescription was thought out by the people of the entire medical center. The humble father-in-law finally finalized it. It was not only the doctor Zhou's achievements!"
Xiang Chengwei sneered and said, "What is your father-in-law's idea? Humph, he can't have any other ideas besides being able to come up with that inappropriate method. Don't put gilds on his face, he can't bear it!"
He turned his face and said to Zhou Yujin again: "From my opinion, let me work hard for Lord Zhou first. You can stay in the governor's mansion. When will the governor get sick? You can go home again. Don't worry, I will not treat you badly. As long as you cure Lord Master's disease, will the position of doctor still escape from your palm?" After saying that, he laughed.
Zhou Yujin almost fainted from joy. He had long thought that he might promote himself to be a doctor, but he didn't expect that it would be so easy. It was just a word from the high officials! He thanked him repeatedly, thank you for your cultivation. He was grateful. He would definitely repay you for being a cow and a horse in the next life.
Ji Xinben's face turned green when he heard it, and he would like to overturn his father-in-law's position. This was too much! But he didn't dare to "dispute" with Xiang Chengwei. This Xiang Changshi is not a good person to mess with. Whoever dares to challenge him will be beaten immediately!
Xiang Chengwei praised Zhou Yujin again for a few more words, then turned around and left the flower hall and went to the office of the former yamen. Before leaving, he glared at Ji Xinben and asked Ji Xinben to go back and notify Ma Denggao, asking Lord Ma to wake up and wake up. Seeing that he is old, he will give him a chance to resign himself, so that he will not be ungrateful and wait for Shangguan to speak, which will be bad in appearance.
Ji Xinben was embarrassed on the spot, his face turned pale, and he didn't know what to say. Zhou Yujin bowed to him and said, "Mr. Ji, I still have to study the table below, so I won't accompany you anymore. Please give me a try!"
Ji Xinben stomped his feet and left the flower hall in a panic. He ran out of the governor's mansion, returned to the medical department, and told Ma Denggao about the incident. The news was like a bolt from the blue, slashing Ma Denggao into a mess. He was stunned for a long time before he recovered.
Ma Denggao stood up tremblingly and said, "Son-in-law, we can't wait now. Let's go out of the city to welcome the doctor. He has a good relationship with me and hopes to help me. At this time, we can only count on him!"
Ji Xinben quickly agreed, and helped Ma Denggao and the others out of the medical center together and took a carriage out of the city.
Good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles away. The other doctors in the clinic knew about what happened in the governor’s mansion for a while. The doctors all made small plans. Should they change teams and stand and quickly go and curry favor with Zhou Yujin!
In the inn, Yang Ze slept well all night. After getting up in the morning, he left the room. But as soon as he went out, he saw Mu Gen dressed neatly, with a wooden stick on his waist, standing in the yard, constantly pulling the stick out from his waist, and then not going back, pulling it out again. Every time he pulled it out, he would sneer a few times, and I don’t know what he was doing!
Yang Zedaqi asked, "Mu Gen, what's wrong with you? Why are you crazy in the yard?"
Mu Gen turned to see Yang Ze, and hurried over and said, "Young Master, I am making plans for the future. When I become a constable and see a bad person, I must not draw my sword. Then sneer at the bad person a few times and despise him. Only in this way can the bad person be scared and surrender quickly!"
After hearing his stupid words, Yang Ze was stunned and asked, "Constable? Why do you want to be a constable in the future? Where do you start this?"
Mugen said proudly: "Young Master, you forgot. Didn't you say yesterday? I saved Xiang Changshi's son. He will definitely repay me in the future. Then I can become a constable? Being a constable is much better than being an apprentice in a pharmacy. No one dares to mess with me!"
Yang Ze said oh, and understood. This kid is waiting to repay the kindness to the chief minister! But even if he wants to repay the kindness to the chief minister, he will repay himself. It is not the turn of this kid, and he still wants to be a constable. He thinks so beautifully! But seeing Mu Gen's enthusiasm is so high, he always has to encourage him verbally.
Yang Ze patted Mu Gen on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you have ambition. You will definitely become a good constable in the future. Maybe you can become a county lieutenant or a law cao or something. You have to work hard. I am very optimistic about you! But now, I will give me a wash water and bring breakfast. It's fast!"
Mu Gen repeatedly agreed, no matter how ambitious he was, he was still a primary school apprentice and had to serve the young master. He threw away the stick and ran to fetch water.
After a while, Yang Ze finished washing up and had breakfast. He took the two more letters and rushed to the governor's office. He didn't see the governor yesterday and had to go again today. This is a serious matter and he has to do it quickly.
When he arrived at the governor's yamen, he saw a carriage parked at the door. The servants at the door were all gathered together and discussed, not knowing what they were saying. Yang Ze was interested, but suddenly saw a large group of people running over the street and trot into the governor's yamen.
The people who ran over were not young, but they were not slow. A gray-bearded man accidentally hit Yang Ze because he ran too fast. Not only did he not apologize, but he also shouted loudly not to block his way.
Yang Ze hurriedly retreated and was farther away. He looked across the street and saw a mansion across the street. There was a plaque hanging on the gate, but the words "Nothing" were written. It looked neither like a house nor a yamen.
After all the large group of people entered the governor's mansion, Yang Ze walked up and smiled at the small servant who looked like a man, "This adult, student Yang Ze wants to ask to see the governor. If the governor is not free, then it will be possible to ask to see the governor. I have two letters, which were written by the magistrate of Baoan County, Mr. Wu, to the governor!" As he said that, he handed over two letters, took out a string of copper coins, and stuffed them into the hands of the servant.
The officer weighed the string of copper coins and felt quite satisfied. His attitude was naturally good. He said to Yang Ze: "You can't see the governor, and you can't see the governor. You have a big event in the mansion today. You'd better come back tomorrow or the next day. I'll put these two letters on Lord Changshi's desk. When he has time, he will pass on you."
Yang Ze was very disappointed. He didn't meet him yesterday, but today he seemed to be unable to meet him again. He said, "Then, I'd better wait. Maybe Lord Changshi will take time to see me after he finishes his work."
"Then you wait in the doorman!" The officer smiled and did not drive Yang Ze away for the sake of money.
Yang Ze thanked him and thought for a while. He turned around and pointed to the mansion with the plaque of "Nothing" and asked, "May I ask, whose house is it? Why is there a plaque of "Nothing" hanging?"
The officer smiled and said, "That's a medical center, our medical center in Guazhou!"
Chapter completed!
