"Miss..." Just as he was hesitating, Magpie got the letter and hurriedly opened the door and came in.

Seeing her, Zhen Shiniang's heart moved, and she turned around to greet Li Qi's wife, "Sister-in-law Li, please wait for a moment." She pulled Magpie into the west room.

"What happened?" the magpie asked as soon as he entered the house.

"It's someone from Tai Hospital."

"Is there someone from Tai Hospital?" Magpie was surprised, "Is it because of the rumors outside?" Rumors that a plague is about to break out in Wutong Town have been flying all over the sky in the past two days.

"It should be so." Zhen Shiniang was noncommittal, "People from the county government are also here, and they said they would invite me over."

If it is true that the government came to investigate the plague, then Zhen Shiniang is the only insider. At the critical moment, even Li Qi's family can completely deny it, insisting that Zhen Shiniang did not say it was a plague, and he knew nothing.

The last blame was placed entirely on Zhen Shiniang, and she became the scapegoat of the government when things went wrong.

Growing up in the Shangshu Mansion, Magpie was very familiar with these dark activities in the officialdom. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She grabbed Zhen Shiniang and said, "Miss, you must not go!" Her fingers trembled slightly.

She didn't want to go either, but it wasn't her decision.

Zhen Shiniang sighed in her heart, but she didn't want to get entangled with this. She looked at Magpie solemnly, "I have forgotten most of the things in the past. Think about it carefully. When I was in Shangshu Mansion, I was always the imperial doctor when I was sick.

Do you want to see it?"

"It goes without saying that the master was once the very popular Minister of Household Affairs. Not to mention you, even the servants who were sick were consulted by the imperial doctor." Although she was a maid, when she was in the Minister's Mansion, she was better than other ladies.

Still noble. Thinking of the prosperity of the past, the magpie sighed quietly.

The official system of the Great Zhou Dynasty was divided into three provinces and six ministries, that is, the emperor had three provinces, Zhongshu Province, Shangshu Province and Menxia Province. Zhongshu Province was responsible for drafting decrees, Menxia Province was responsible for reviewing decrees, and Shangshu Province was responsible for implementation. Under the Shangshu Province, there were also

There are six departments: official, household, ritual, military, punishment, and work.

Each of the six ministries has different functions. The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the assessment, appointment and removal of officials, and is said to be the head of the six ministries. However, the Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for household registration and finance and taxation. It is equivalent to the modern Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation. It holds the power of national finance, but it is

Among the six ministries, the most lucrative department has more power than the official department. Think about it, Zhen Shiniang's father's official position was the minister of the Ministry of Hubu. Which of those imperial doctors would not fawn over him.

"...Then do you remember who the imperial doctor who often treats me is?"

Magpie thought for a while, "It's a man named Wen..."

"That's the deputy director of the Taiyuan Hospital!" Zhen Shiniang was shocked. Li Qi's wife had just said that the surname of the deputy director of the Taiyuan Hospital was Wen.

"No." Magpie shook his head, "He is only in his twenties, but his medical skills are very high and he is quite popular..." The voice suddenly paused, "After so many years, his medical skills are so high, it is hard to say that he will not be promoted...

Could it be that he is here?" He grabbed Zhen Shiniang and said, "Miss, he knows you!"

Men and women were not close to each other. Originally, when the imperial physician came to see the family members, they would check the pulse behind a curtain. Unfortunately, her young lady was too naughty at that time. When she saw that the imperial physician Wen had an antique look on his face at such a young age, she insisted on teasing her. I believe that she will be there in this life.

Even if Miss Jia turned into ashes, Imperial Physician Wen would still be able to recognize her!

Once he was recognized, the matter could no longer be hidden from Shen Zhongqing. Thinking that Shen Zhongqing was trying hard to get rid of her young lady, Magpie did not dare to think about it anymore.

"...Sister-in-law Li reminded me just now when she asked her to take off her veil. I was worried about this!" Zhen Shiniang's expression had never been more solemn.

"Then what should we do?" Magpie looked pale.

"It's just a move." In a blink of an eye, Zhen Shiniang had calmed down. She smiled to herself, "It just so happened that the general was going to kick us out." She stepped outside.

Just as he and Qiu Ju were talking in the courtyard, they saw Zhen Shiniang coming out. Li Qi's wife hurriedly came to greet her, "...let's go quickly, it's getting late."

"Magpie's great-aunt Qian'er came to visit from Hui'an and caught a cold last night..." Zhen Shiniang said apologetically, "I was worried that it was a plague, so her mother-in-law asked her to come and beg me. Please tell Mrs. Wen that I am temporarily

It’s time to go to the hospital.”

"You..." Li Qi's wife stuttered a little, "You're not going?"

How did this happen?

He said that he asked her to invite him, but that was just a polite word. The other party was a high official after all!

A senior official greater than the magistrate of Wutong Town.

"Magpie has been with me for so many years, I have to give this face..." Zhen Shiniang sighed in embarrassment.

"It won't waste much time..." Li Qi's daughter-in-law, not wanting to offend the hospital, tried her best to persuade her, "Listen to what I said, that doctor Wen admires you very much, and probably just wants to argue with you. The plague has not broken out at all.

, even if the government wants to say something, it can't cure your crime..." His eyes flashed, "Being able to establish a relationship with the Taiyuan Hospital is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Ayou, don't miss it."

Zhen Shiniang sighed again, "...Sister-in-law Li is doing it for my own good, I know, but this kind of illness really cannot be delayed."

She also knew that Zhen Shiniang always spoke her mind. Seeing that she had made up her mind, Li Qi's wife sighed, "...Then I'll leave first." After taking two steps, she turned back and said, "If Dr. Wen insists on letting me,

What if I take him to see you at Magpie’s house?”

"This..." Zhen Shiniang was startled, and then said, "Sister-in-law Li should tell him that I was called away early in the morning by people from the neighboring town, and it will take three to five days to come back."

There were rumors outside that something bad was going on. If it was said that Magpie's aunt had caught wind and cold and was worried that it was a plague, Imperial Physician Wen would definitely insist on going and have a look. It would be unreasonable to cause trouble. Thinking about it, this was the only way. Li Qi's wife nodded.

Watching Li Qi's wife disappear, Zhen Shiniang fell into deep thought.

There was no movement at all from the government office in Wutong Town, but the envoy from Taiyuan Hospital suddenly arrived. Apparently someone had bypassed the local government and directly alerted the higher authorities.

Who is it?

With so much energy, can you reach the sky with your hands and eyes?

Several famous big names in the town flashed through her mind one by one. Zhen Shiniang shook her head. No matter what, the lair is here. Even if these people are afraid of rumors, they will not cross the Yamen of Wutong Town and run to the feet of the emperor.

Go and file a complaint.

So, who could this person be?

Turning around slowly, she suddenly paused:

It's him!

That day, he was the one who said in public that Liu Ergui had the plague.

Thinking of his extraordinary attire, Zhen Shiniang confirmed her suspicion. She raised her head and told Qiu Ju, "...Go to Ruixiang Pharmacy and find out who the man who said Po Liu Ergui had the plague that day was and when he was.

Are you leaving and are you coming back?"

Qiu Ju returned quickly, "...he left early the next morning, and today he came with the imperial doctor. Fubao said that Master Ma and the envoy Wen Yuan were very polite to him." Master Ma is the county of Wutong Town.

Ling, as she spoke, Qiu Ju wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Sister-in-law Li just went back and said that you were on a medical visit and would not be back for three to five days. Mr. Ma's face turned dark at that time, and he said that he would send the government officials to the neighboring town to arrest you.

Come back, but he stopped me."
