Chapter 6 Please have a drink
The front hall was shouting, and Zhang from the backyard heard it and sent Mugen to ask what was going on.
Mu Gen trotted to the front hall and saw many people in the room, both strong men and children, and a scholar. This scholar was quite funny. He was a big-name person. He had a bitter face and seemed to be about to cry!
Mugen said: "Young master, my wife asked me to ask what happened? Why is it not closed yet? Don't do business today!"
Yang Ze said: "Isn't it closing? How can I do business again today?" As he said that, he walked back. Mr. Tan was so fussy. Don't scare his mother, you have to talk to her.
Mr. Tan couldn't let him leave just like that. He grabbed Yang Ze's sleeve and said, "What are you doing? Stay honestly for me and don't have the idea of running away!"
As soon as he took action, the strong men beside him surrounded and surrounded Yang Ze in the middle. Everyone had bad expressions. It seemed that as long as Mr. Tan gave the order, they would press Yang Ze to the ground and beat him up, just like beating Lu Ergou!
Mu Gen didn't know the reason, and saw this, he hurriedly said, "Young Master, is this someone who wants gambling debts coming to your door? Where have you paid back the 200-month owed you yet?" He thought these strong men came to ask for gambling debts.
Mr. Tan became even more angry, and he could be called furious. He said in his heart: "It seems that he was really fooled. The rogue outside said nothing wrong. This boy named Yang is really a gambler and he still owes gambling debts! Why was I so confused just now? After hearing his words, if I make the eldest master come out, I will have to be chopped off my head!"
The strong men also turned green. They were not only angry with Yang Ze, but also angry with Mr. Tan. Mr. Tan is also a strategist. He is known as resourceful and a shitty strategist. He was deceived by a small liar in a small county town. It would be fine, but it has implicated them all. This is unbearable!
Yang Ze waved at Mugen and said, "It's not a gambling debt. Go back and tell my mother, do whatever you should do, but don't come in front."
Mu Gen agreed, turned around and ran back to the back house.
Yang Ze looked at Mr. Tan, who was really afraid that Mr. Tan would send a strong man to the Hou House and scare his mother. However, although Mr. Tan was furious, he did not send anyone to the Hou House. It was obvious that he did not think it would be a glorious thing to scare female relatives. From a moral point of view, Mr. Tan can be regarded as a well-educated and polite person with a good character.
Mr. Tan calmed down. Although his face was still a little pale, his expression barely returned to normal. He sat next to the couch and looked at the sleeping little boy without saying a word. He was very silent and did not look at Yang Ze.
The big men stood straight in the corners of the hall, not talking. There was no other sound in the front hall except for the little boy's snoring!
Yang Ze waited for a long time, but when he saw that they didn't speak, he said, "I have a family and a job, so it's impossible to escape. Besides, your eldest son has not woken up, you can't say that he hasn't cured it. You have placed me under house arrest now, but if it is cured, it will be unfavorable at that time!"
Mr. Tan nodded slightly, turned his head, his voice hoarse, but his tone was still normal. He said, "Yang Chuantang, I was rude just now, and I hope you don't take it to heart. When my eldest son wakes up and the illness is cured, I will thank you again."
After a pause, he said again: "If Yang Chuantang has something to do, please take care of yourself, but I hope you don't leave the medicine shop, so as not to wake up and not find you! I will not put you under house arrest, nor will I go to the back house. You don't have to worry about this." He was quite polite, but he only said that he would thank him if he was cured, but he didn't say that he would not cure him. What would he do to Yang Ze?
Yang Ze said: "I'm in the back house, and I'll just call me if I have something to do." He turned around and went to the back house.
Zhang packed things behind him, and naturally he didn't want any furniture. He just packed the fine and soft bags and made them into three big bags, all of which were placed on the bed. The fourth bag was packed, and he had just packed half of them.
Mu Gen had already told her what had happened before, but of course she still didn't explain it clearly, but Zhang was not as panicked as she imagined. Seeing Yang Ze coming from the front, she didn't ask endlessly.
Yang Ze closed the door and said, "Mom, did Mu Gen tell you what happened before just now?"
Zhang waved his hand and said, "He has never been able to speak clearly, and I am too lazy to listen. Didn't you prescribe the wrong medicine for others again? There is no revenge on the debt, no revenge on the lice, no matter how much itch, anyway, we have to run away."
Yang Ze said: "Mom, don't worry. I have absolutely cured the insomnia of the little boy outside. I am already sleeping now. As long as he wakes up, the people outside will not do anything to me, but will thank me instead."
Zhang said, "Everything is in case. When your father is there, he will take charge of his mother." She opened the wrapped bag again, took out a small bag from it, and wrapped it with oil cloth.
She stuffed the tart cloth into Yang Ze's hand and said, "Take it with you. There are golden leaves and mother's jewelry. If something happens tomorrow, mother will block them. Just run away and wait for a few years to calm down before coming back. Don't worry about your parents, you two uncles will help us, we won't have any trouble!"
Yang Ze was moved and comforted: "Mom, there is nothing wrong, don't worry! During the days when I was injured, I read our medical books and learned a few tricks. Think about it, the little lady of the county magistrate just coughed, and the child outside just couldn't sleep. It was not a great disease, so how could it not be cured!"
Zhang reached out and touched Yang Ze's hair, and said, "I can naturally trust my son. If you say it's okay, it's okay. I'll get you some food."
Nothing happened all day long. County Magistrate Wu Yourong did not send anyone, and Mr. Tan from the front hall did not come to cause trouble. Until the moon rises to the treetops, there is no wind or waves.
In the evening, Yang Ze took some food to eat for Mr. Tan and the others in the front hall, but saw Mr. Tan sitting next to the couch, guarding Wei Zheng, with his posture not changing, but his expression seemed to be ten years old. The strong men sat or squatted, all of them were listless, and they were thinking about their thoughts when they looked at their expressions. It was obvious that these few hours seemed to them as if they had passed a few years.
Yang Ze talked to Mr. Tan, but saw that Mr. Tan ignored him and felt relieved, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to put down the food and go back to the back house.
That night, no one in Zhiren Hall had good sleep. Sighs came from time to time. Even Yang Ze himself tossed and turned, but Cheng Su didn't close his eyes.
The next morning, when it was dawn, Yang Ze got up. After a little washing up, he came to the front hall and saw some of the strong men sitting against the wall, some lying on the counter, no one snoring, and listening to the breathing sounds, they were all squinting, and no one was really asleep.
Mr. Tan was still sitting next to the couch, holding his head, and was also pretending to sleep. However, the little Wei Zheng was still sleeping soundly, still whispering to Xiao Hulu, but he still didn't wake up.
Yang Ze did not call them up, and walked to the edge of the couch gently, looked at Xiao Wei Zheng, and saw that nothing unexpected happened, he returned to the back house and cooked himself, wanting to make some breakfast. I guess his mother Zhang didn't sleep well last night, so he would do the breakfast!
Yang Ze just returned, and another person came in from the front hall, but it was Xiao Mugen. He was sent by Zhang to investigate the situation in the front hall. Zhang himself was not convenient for him, so he could only count on him.
As soon as Mugen entered the front hall, he suddenly heard someone outside Zhirentang knocking on the door, and someone shouted loudly: "Yang Ze, are you at home?"
Everyone in the room immediately opened their eyes, and the strong men jumped up in unison, but Mr. Tan looked at Xiao Wei Zheng and saw that Wei Zheng was still sleeping soundly, so he felt relieved.
As a primary school apprentice, Mugen is always doing things to open the door and lower the board on weekdays. It is natural to get used to it. When he heard someone knocking on the door outside, he immediately walked over. When he arrived at the door, he suddenly felt clever and thought that he should not open the door immediately, but should see who knocked on the door. If the old boss came back, he would not be allowed to enter the house, so as not to be taken away by the slaughter.
He looked out through the crack in the door, Mu Gen screamed, turned around and ran to the back house, shouting as he ran: "Madam, it's the official, they are here to capture the young master!"
Mr. Tan stood up and winked at the strong men. The strong man immediately arrived at the door, pulled out the door bolt, and opened the store door. He saw three officials standing outside, all wearing soap suits, and a fat man in the lead, who seemed to be a head-on.
Zhang, who was in the back house, heard Mu Gen's cry and said without waiting for Mu Gen to come back to tell the situation. He couldn't explain it clearly anyway, so he was too lazy to listen. She quickly left the house and saw Yang Ze bringing a small pot of porridge out of the kitchen. She stepped forward and beat the porridge off and said to Yang Ze: "Son, escape from the backyard quickly, hurry up!"
Yang Ze said: "Mom, you don't need to escape. Besides, there are people watching the back door!"
If he really wants to escape, wouldn’t it be the right time last night? Why bother to escape at dawn? Of course, he can’t escape from the city at night. As long as he is in the city, no matter where he hides, he will be caught by the constables. The result is the same whether he or she escapes or not, so there is no need to escape at all.
Zhang said, "You climbed over the wall. Now it's dawn, the city gate should be opened. You can leave the city immediately and escape from afar. Don't come back within two or three years! Let your mother take a look..."
She looked at her son hard, as if she wanted to remember her son's appearance forever. Then she pushed her son and said, "Go quickly, let's take my mother forward!" She turned around and walked quickly forward.
Yang Ze was really embarrassed. It was just that the "Yang Ze" in the past was so bad that he was so implicated. He really didn't believe anything he said!
Naturally, he would not escape. He walked back to his house, the door was wide open, and he lay on the bed, waiting for the official to arrive!
At the door, the strong man frowned and asked, "Are you a servant in the county government office? Why are you shouting so early? Is it a quarrel with the nobles? Can you afford to be offended?"
The fat captain was He Dacai. When he saw that the person who opened the door was a strong man who didn't know, he was stunned. As a captain, he had seen all kinds of people from all walks of life and was definitely considered a person with vision. When he saw the strong man, he immediately realized that he was a soldier and a small officer, but he was wearing casual clothes. Judging from the words of the little military officer, there must be someone who is a high-ranking official in it!
He Dacai reacted very quickly, and immediately smiled and said, "The head of the Beiyi Baoan County, I don't know that there is a noble person in the hall, so I'll disturb you, I'll forgive you for your crime!"
"Are you going to arrest someone? Who is Yang Chuantang?" asked the strong man. After hearing Mu Gen's shouting, he thought why Da was here to arrest Yang Ze. He didn't know if the eldest young master's illness was cured, so he couldn't turn his back on him and still called Yang Ze Yang Chuantang.
He Dacai was stunned, a little confused. He looked back at the two subordinates behind him. The two constables were also confused, wondering what this strong man was talking about!
He Dacai said: "Catch someone? Where does this start? The humble official came to invite Yang Zeyang brothers by the order of the county magistrate Wu, not Yang Baiqiu and Yang were in the hall!"
Mr. Tan stood up from the side of the couch and asked, "Here is here to invite Yang Ze? Why do you invite him? But because he cured Wu Yourong's family?" A glimmer of hope arose in his heart.
Since he heard Lu Ergou's words yesterday, he has been struggling whether to turn against Yang Ze. However, Wei Zheng was not awake and did not look worse than sick, so he could only endure it and dare not turn against him. Because he was afraid, he did not dare to go to the street to find someone to ask Yang Ze if he could have medical skills. He was very afraid that the result was that Yang Ze was a liar, and he just wanted to make plans after Xiao Wei Zheng woke up.
But now when he heard that the fat official wanted to invite Yang Ze to the county government, Mr. Tan naturally had hope in his heart, hoping that Yang Ze understood medical skills.
He Dacai heard the literati call the county magistrate’s name directly, and knew that this person must be an official. He hurriedly said respectfully: “Reply to this master’s words, as you said, Brother Yang has cured Mrs. Wu’s illness, and Lord Wu wants to ask him to come over and thank him!”
Mr. Tan was overjoyed, rubbed his hands straight and said, "Okay, OK!" He said yes repeatedly.
He Dacai was a little puzzled. The young lady of Wu County Magistrate was cured. Why is this person so happy? Could it be that he is a relative of the young lady? It doesn’t look like him!
Mr. Tan waved his hand and said, "Why are you still standing there? Go and call Yang Shutang!"
The strong men agreed repeatedly and were going to the back house to call people, but before they could move, an old lady, holding a broom, walked into the inner hall with a proud and proud manner. At the back door, she shouted: "Who dares to touch a hair of my son, I will fight him today!"
With a hissing, the people in the hall took a breath at the same time. Who is this fierce old lady? Could it be that she is Yang Ze's mother?
The people in the hall were sucking in the cold air, but the people outside the door roared. He Dacai laughed and said, "Old Mrs. Yang, why did you have to sweep the floor so early? Where is Yang Ze?"
"My son has already gone far away. Don't try to cause trouble for him. If you have any trouble, I will do it!" Zhang shouted, blocking the back door tightly, fearing that others would break over and catch his son!
He Dacai was shocked. He didn't understand Zhang's words. He didn't understand the meaning of flying away to escape. He thought he had left the city. He said anxiously: "Yang Ze left the city. When did it happen? Oh, I said Old Mrs. Yang, the county magistrate wanted to invite him to a banquet. Why did he leave the city?"
Zhang said, unable to believe his ears, and said, "What did you say? The county magistrate wants to invite him to a banquet? Didn't you come to catch him?"
"What a joke? How dare I catch him now? It's too late to flatter him. He is the young lady's savior. If I offend him, I will have to take care of him!" He Dacai said with a smile.
Zhang couldn't believe it, thinking that He Dacai made a fuss and wanted to cheat his son out to catch him. She shook her head and said, "My son has only read the medical book for a few days. How could he be the savior of the young lady? Don't lie to me, you must have come to catch him!"
He Dacai entered the pharmacy, patted his waist, and said, "What's going on? Why do you insist that I'm here to catch him? If I come to catch him, how could anyone come without a knife and iron chain? How could I come empty-handed? Let me tell you, your son only used two doses of medicine to cure the little lady's cough. When the little lady woke up this morning, even the swelling on her face disappeared. The disease was cured. Otherwise, why would the county magistrate invite him to a banquet? I asked me to come in person!"
Mr. Tan was quite excited and deeply hoped that Yang Ze really cured the young lady's disease, which means that he could also cure Xiao Weizheng's disease!
Mr. Tan said to Zhang: "Old Mrs. Yang, I can testify that when the constable arrests people, he really has to bring iron cables. This is the rule in the yamen! If you don't believe it, I will accompany Yang to the county yamen later. I will be responsible for any incident!"
Everyone said this, Zhang thought to himself: "Can my son be fooled after reading medical books for a few days? He also cured his young lady's illness? Oh, no, if this is true, the son can't escape. Instead, he has to go to see the magistrate of Wu County. This is a relationship with the official!"
