Chapter 35 The Truth of the Sentencing
Feeling from the darkness in the officialdom, Gao Qiu didn't know how to express his current mood, but if he could participate in the Boy's Ceremony, he wouldn't have hesitated at all. What is the difference between scholars in the officialdom and moths in the candlelight?
"Hey! Young Master? Young Master?"
Before Gao Qiu could finish his feelings, a call came from behind.
Although the sound was relatively small, Gao Qiu still heard it. When he turned around, he saw that Li Wan had arrived two meters behind Gao Qiu and was whispering Gao Qiu.
He looked at Su Shi, who was talking to the officials in an "opportunistic manner". Gao Qiu did not disturb him. He turned around and walked to Li Wan with his calf, lowered his voice, and asked in dissatisfaction: "It's you! Why are you looking for me!"
"Hehe! Then what? Doctor Zhou sent someone to deliver medicine. Do you think you took the medicine first?"
Originally, he wanted to please Gao Qiu, but now Li Wan was even more respectful when he saw Gao Qiu standing beside Su Shi and "participating" in political affairs.
"Oh! That's it! Well, wait for me to talk to my husband, and then go to take medicine with you."
Gao Qiu knew very well that "the body is the capital of revolution", so he did not say anything like not taking medicine. It was necessary to say hello to Su Shi.
Originally, Gaoqiu had no effect here, and Gaoqiu's health was really bad, so Su Shi didn't say much. Just looking at Su Shi's reluctance, it seemed that if there were no such subordinates, he would have taken Gaoqiu to the Houya to drink medicine. In his eyes, the officials naturally had their own understanding and plans.
In the back yamen, Zhou Jimin's apprentice Schisandra Chiba was waiting there, holding a medicine jar in his hand. Looking at the heat rising above the medicine jar, it was obvious that the medicine was still "hot". However, this made Gaoqiu even more sad.
I don’t know what Qian Yi added to himself when taking the medicine. When it is hot, the taste is more important than usual, but once it cools down, the taste will be much better. Therefore, even if the effect of the medicine may not be so good after it cools down, and Gaoqiu is unwilling to drink the medicine with better effect.
"Young Master, your medicine."
Schisandra chinensis handed out the medicine jar in her hand, as if it was to hand it to Gaoqiu's hand.
Li Wanyou took the medicine jar from Schisandra with a strong eye, then called his good friend Zhang Qian to bring a tea bowl and quickly poured a bowl of medicine for Gaoqian.
"Do you really want to drink?"
Gao Qiu had a bitter face and was reluctant to drink this bowl of medicine.
"Young Master, good medicine is good for diseases!"
Li Wan has a relatively active mind, so he also knows that it is nothing to go against Gaoqiu's wishes at this time. As long as Gaoqiu's health is good, he should not recite his "hard-hearted" good in the future?
At this time, seeing Gao Qiu's hesitation, Schisandra was a little impatient, and urged with a stern face: "Young Master, please take medicine quickly. I'm going to go back and report to the master!"
"But...but..."
Suddenly, for a moment, Gao Qiu suddenly missed his self yesterday. He was confused and didn't even have a sense of taste.
It was at this time that Wang Chaoyun came over from a distance and saw the actions of Li Wan, Zhang Qian and others, and immediately saw what these people were doing. "Huh? Is it the apprentice of Doctor Zhou? Are you here to deliver medicine to my godson?"
"lady!"
Seeing that it was Wang Chaoyun who had arrived, Li Wan quickly pulled Zhang Qian to salute.
"Okay! It's okay!" Wang Chaoyun waved his hand, as if he was unwilling to have too much contact with the yamen runners, so he walked straight to Gaoqiu, "God, why don't you take medicine?"
"But...but...well! I'll eat!"
Gao Qiu felt very wronged, but in the face of Wang Chaoyun's "expectation" on his face, he really couldn't refuse, so he agreed.
After a bowl of medicine, there was a warm current between the high ball's chest and abdomen, but the smell in the mouth hovered on the tip of the tongue and could not dissipate anyway. This situation continued until noon.
It is not convenient for women to take out such things as going out for banquets, so Su Shi's two wives brought Gao Qiu's "child bride" Hua Xiangrong, so they could only stay in the back yamen. Su Shi, Su Guo and Gao Qiu, could go out happily and happily. Of course, the two people behind were happy, and Su Shi had no intention of being excited.
When the officials arrived at the appointment, Su Shi took everyone out of the government office. After turning two turns, Gao Qiu found that the route Su Shi was taking was the same as that Zen Master Yuan took them yesterday. He felt that Su Shi should be taking everyone to the restaurant yesterday. But speaking of it, the chicken legs yesterday tasted quite good.
As soon as I thought about this, I hadn't eaten since noon yesterday until now, my stomach started to yell, and Gao Qiu's little face turned red.
"What? Are you hungry?"
Seeing that he was about to reach his destination, Su Shi comforted Gao Qiu and then hugged Gao Qiu in his arms.
When the escort Guan Chuhe saw this scene, he couldn't help but come to Feng Hai, who opened the scene and muttered quietly. Obviously, Chuhe, who left the field early this morning, didn't know what the situation was in Gaoqiu.
Soon, Su Shi and his group came to the restaurant yesterday. Because he said hello in advance, there were no ones in the restaurant now. Of course, Gao Qiu suspected that there was no one in the restaurant because its location was too remote.
The less important people were arranged downstairs, and people like Wu Liang were taken upstairs by Su Shi. Soon, cold dishes, fine wine and other things were sent up. However, Su Shi did not sit down, but walked to the railing, holding the railing with one hand, and sighed.
"Master General, why are you?"
Even though I knew that Su Shi was a serious literati, looking from a railing and sighing with regret, some people thought it was strange and asked.
"Why? Humph, do you know what's downstairs?"
Su Shi snorted coldly, and did not directly answer the man's question, but asked him back.
The person who spoke was Han Luo, the transport entourage responsible for transportation. When he saw Su Shi ask him back, he had to stand up with his teeth and say, "I remember this downstairs is a river, right?"
"Yes, there is a river downstairs, but what is by the river? Have you ever known?"
Without any mercy, Su Shi continued to ask.
"This... is probably from flowers and plants?"
Han Luo just came to this restaurant by chance. Even if he had a good impression, he could only guess randomly now that Su Shi asked this.
"Okay! What a flower and plant!" Before Su Shi was about to speak, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the door. Then he saw the Tongzong Wang Hu walking in from outside the door, sneering on his face: "That flower and plant is watered by the flesh and blood of the people!"
"Prime Minister Wang Tong, what do you mean?"
I was planning to do something, but at this time, Wang Hu had disrupted Su Shi's plan.
"What do you mean? It's not interesting. I just want to say a few words to the magistrate. I think my colleagues should give me this thin face, right? There are still many seats downstairs, so please move on!"
The wording is quite polite, but if Wang Hu's expression is added, no one would think he is discussing with everyone.
However, what surprised Gao Qiu was that after hearing Wang Hu's words, everyone had no intention of objecting, but stood up silently and walked out. It seemed that they were really going to go downstairs to have dinner. From this perspective, it seemed that Wang Hu's all were really overwhelming!
After the person left, Wang Hu looked at Gaoqiu and Su Guo, and did not say much, but instead did it. Then he picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for himself, drank it all, and then smiled with sadness: "Hehe, Master Zhizhou, are you thinking now, 'Hey, you Wang Hu, what a great power'?"
"No, on the contrary, what I, Su Shi, thinks in my heart now is... Wang Tong, you have suffered!"
Facing Wang Hu's self-deprecating smile, Su Shi not only did not match it, but became serious.
This scene made Gao Qiu stunned. What is this situation? Wang Hu, who is obviously a local bully, sat so close to Su Shi and drank so much? And it seems that Su Shi was not surprised by this scene at all. It seems that he had expected it, but it was very contradictory to the morning scene.
"Oh? It turns out that the new magistrate has already seen it? I just don't know, when did you see it?"
At this time, Wang Hu, or the magistrate Wang Tong, who was in power, had disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a down-and-out middle-aged man.
Such a transformation was something Gao Ba never expected.
But what shocked Gao Qiu even more was the current situation in Lin'an City bit by bit from the conversation between Su Shi and Wang Hu!
In today's Song Dynasty, Tokyo Bianliang is the richest person, after all, it is the capital of the current dynasty. As for Hangzhou Prefecture, it is not at the forefront. However, such an inconspicuous place now has attracted many people to look at it.
Those who just left, including Wu Liang, the lieutenant who decided to "take the team" this morning, may not have any good intentions. Simply put, the official document he asked Su Shi to pass the purpose in the morning, appeared to have no problems on the surface, but in fact? This memorial used a lot of words such as "possible", "maybe", and "probably". If there is really a drought, Wu Liang must have a contribution. But if there is no drought, and Su Shi who has read the memorial, Wu Liang will not be criticized.
In general, the Hangzhou Prefecture is actually the so-called "subordinates" in charge of Su Shi. They may not be malicious about the people, but they often disobey their Shangguan. If they have any merits, these people will rush forward. If there is any punishment, they will all be pushed to Shangguan.
