Chapter 90: The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop
"Sir, this time it's really not good. There's not a single patient for four days. The dozen doctors and apprentices recruited before can only sit there; no one comes to see the clinic, but the daily expenses are quite high. After one month, you have to store medicinal materials and pay salaries. These two items are just dozens of taels of silver. If you continue like this, you will have to spend money on it. No, no, now the mountain is empty. There is no money for turnover at the counter. You can only borrow money. When you repair the new store, the money from several carpenters and bricklayers has not been paid. Now you come to ask for it every now and then, and don't think of a solution..."
Still in the elegant room of the teahouse opposite the Yin County Yamen, Zhou Zhuan looked as if he was ashen. Looking at Zhao Gao who was anxious and stomped his feet, his anger was even stronger. He gritted his teeth and said, "This is to force people to death. Now you and I have been asking for a lot of loans. The expenses of Borentang's new and old stores are probably difficult to maintain."
"It's better to invite the county police officers to seal his shop directly..." Zhao Gao lowered his voice and took the opportunity to say.
Zhuan Zhou walked back and forth a few steps, and was about to turn around quickly, but his sleeves pulled the lamp holder. The lamp holder suddenly fell down. Zhuan Zhou felt even worse: "Print the shop? In what name, do you think that the official is the emperor? Yin County is the place where the prefecture is governed. The county magistrate and the county magistrate are above him, and there are also prefects and magistrates, with so many eyes, and for no reason, he sealed a scholar's shop for no reason. Do you think it's not enough?"
Zhao Gao was so scared that he didn't dare to let out, and he looked dejected.
Zhuzhu Zhou narrowed his eyes, his pupils contracted, and a trace of murderous intent passed: "It's not impossible. Tonight, you go and burn Borentang."
"What?" Zhao Gao was so scared that his face looked like a slut, and he had a cold war: "Shao Borentang?"
Zhou Zhubu sneered: "Yes, it's just burning Borentang. Of course, be careful. The fire must be controlled, and it will be almost done."
Zhao Gao's eyes lit up: "After the burning, he came to the county to sue, saying that it was burned by Ye Chunqiu?"
Zhou Zhuan shook his head and said grimly: "This lawsuit cannot be taken to the county. Ye Chunqiu's relationship with the prefect is unclear. Moreover, even if the county comes to the trial, Ye Chunqiu is a scholar and has to go through a school official. You said that Ye Chunqiu set fire. As long as the evidence is not conclusive, the school official will never accept it. Don't forget it. Then He Tixue regards Ye Chunqiu as a favorite student. He Tixue is said to be promoted to the capital and serve in Hanlin. The successor school official will never embarrass He Tixue, and will protect He Tixue, a proud student. Who will be embarrassed by these school officials below?"
After hearing this, Zhao Gao felt a little desperate: "So, Ye Chunqiu..."
Zhou Zhuan suddenly smiled. His smile looked quite terrible: "But even if the county magistrate and the school officials would protect him, someone would never protect him. There has been a document from Hangzhou. The inspector of the Censorate, Deng Jian, is about to arrive in Ningbo. Haha... This person is so kind that he is famous and has no sand in his eyes. If he knows that Ye Chunqiu relies on his scholarly reputation to bully good people, and has a close relationship with the prefect and the scholar, he will never show mercy. So... if you want to sue, you have to go to the inspector of Deng as soon as possible. The censors in the world are all flies, and they have to bite the eggs that have not been sewn, let alone send them a sewn. Ye Chunqiu... just wait to be disgraced."
After Zhou Zhuan said that, his murderous intent was even stronger. He held a pair of tea cups on the table hard, and when the last word fell, he smashed the tea cup to the ground. Then, he ignored Zhao Gao and wanted to go out with his hands behind his back, leaving a sentence: "I don't have to teach you other things. If Ye Chunqiu's uncle and nephew can still be free and comfortable, neither of you nor me will have a good life. And... Just in case, you don't have to come to find me in the future, so you can do it yourself."
Bang, the door closed fiercely.
Only Zhao Gao was left in the elegant room.
Zhao Gao shivered. He knew that it was Zhou Zhuan who asked him to fight for his life. If Ye Chunqiu's uncle and nephew did not die, Zhao Gao would undoubtedly die.
Zhao Gao's face also became ferocious. At this point, there was no other choice.
……………………………………………………
Since the coffin was opened, Ye Chunqiu and Sun Qi were freer and would not be busy until midnight before sending out all the patients, so they closed the shop and returned to their uncle's house as soon as it was dark.
As soon as he got home, he saw his little cousin writing and painting there. Sun Xin was just enlightened. He could only recite a few words like learning and practicing it from time to time. Every time Ye Chunqiu came back, his aunt Wang said, "You are tired from Chunqiu, hurry up, go and take a break, I'll go and heat the hot dishes." Although he said that, his eyes looked at Sun Xin fiercely.
Sun Xin then frowned and read with a book: "The Master said: "It is better to have a king in Xia than to die in Di Yi."
Ye Chunqiu heard something wrong. Damn, although he relies on the light brain in exams, he usually has not been exposed to these things. Now, he picks out the Four Books and Five Classics every day and reads them carefully. He has some obsessive-compulsive disorder in his personality and does not want imperfect things to happen around him. He sighed: "Cousin, I read it wrong. It's Di Yi's king, it's better to have a fall from the Xia Dynasty. Come, come, come, come, let me ask you, where does this come from... Oh, have you never taught a master of your elementary school? Come, come, come, come, come, come here."
"Here you come." Sun Xin hurriedly approached and held the book and smiled at Ye Chunqiu with a pleasant smile.
Ye Chunqiu began to explain to him, but there were some things, and he felt like a mirror. His "case head" was too charming, or his aunt wanted Sun Xin to become a talent, so she had such case heads at home. Naturally, she wanted Professor Ye Chunqiu to have something, but she was not convenient to say it, so she had some thoughts.
This is human nature. Ye Chunqiu was not in a hurry to sleep anyway, so he just wanted to communicate with his little cousin. When Wang was in and out, he saw that his cousins were having a good chat. Although he said, Xin'er, don't quarrel with your cousin, he felt happy.
However, he also likes Sun Xin and Ye Chunqiu very much. He does not have the cunning of Ye Chenliang or the sillyness of Ye Juncai. Although he has nothing to communicate with this big-sized child, he has a kind of likable intimacy.
After dinner, Sun Qi saw that Sun Xin was still pestering Ye Chunqiu and wanted to talk, so he stopped letting Ye Chunqiu communicate with him. He scared Sun Xin a few words. Then Sun Xin was shocked: "Cousin, it's time for your calligraphy practice."
This was Ye Chunqiu's habit before going to bed, so he went back to his room. The four treasures of the study were newly bought by his uncle a few days ago. Now that he has money, he felt that Ye Chunqiu's pen was a bit bare and too old, so he thought about buying a pen, but was fooled by the people in the bookstore and he had a complete set of pen holders and inkstones.
I was a little uncomfortable with this new pen, but after writing too much, Ye Chunqiu gradually found some feeling when he was in the state of writing. It was rare to take a break from his busy schedule, and he was completely immersed in this state of selflessness.
