Hearing Li Huichun's analysis, I felt a little uneasy: "Then...will they really deal with Xiao Mu?"
"Of course I do, but the prerequisite is that they know where he is."
"Haha, Xiao Mu's whereabouts are uncertain, which makes it impossible for them to take action."
Li Huichun looked at me sympathetically: "It's true that you are here. Even if I am about to die, I am still in the mood to be happy for others."
"I..." I stopped smiling: "If this is my life, I will admit it."
"Okay, I'm teasing you, hahahaha." Li Huichun suddenly laughed and said: "Don't forget that this is Xiangzhou, our land of the Tang Dynasty. How could those Tibetan traitors blatantly burn, kill and loot? There are some places where you live.
It's remote, and they might do something bad if they are sneaky, but this area is the most prosperous place in the center of the city. As long as you shout 'Help', officers patrolling the streets will immediately surround you."
"I understand!" I suddenly understood.
"What do you understand? You have been living in a muddle all day long. No wonder you can only sell tofu." Li Huichun said with some contempt.
"What's wrong with selling tofu?" I said, not to be outdone: "What about you? Being a doctor means you have a higher status than me?"
"Hey, I find that you seem to hate me."
I hummed softly: "It's rare for you to be so self-aware."
Li Huichun was not angry but said with a smile: "If your mother is not feeling well, you can ask Wang Jiajia to accompany you and come to my house to stay for a few days. Anyway, Xiuzhen and Wang Jiajia are familiar with each other. If you are afraid of causing trouble to me, you can go through the previous step
The street is Jianghu Inn..."
"Okay, don't worry about it. I know what to do. Will you go find Xiao Mu in the next few days and bring him a message? When that day comes, you will have the manpower ready. I want to do this carefully.
Catch them all in one fell swoop.”
"Brother Yin!" Li Dongsheng suddenly ran into the hospital.
Li Huichun stood up to greet him: "What's wrong?"
"Brother Yin, have you seen Mu You? I just went to the Governor's Mansion and waited for a long time, but I didn't see him."
Li Huichun shook his head: "Are you in a hurry?"
"Is Li Jianghu here too?" Li Dongsheng saw me and sighed: "I just heard him say that Mu You will leave next March?"
"Well. His one-year term as imperial envoy is about to expire."
"How could this be? It's rare for the three of us to get together again. Brother Yin, can you bear to let him be transferred elsewhere again?" Li Dongsheng's face was full of anxiety.
Li Huichun smiled: "The appointment and dismissal of official positions are all at the will of the saints. How can we control them?"
"Then...then I will write a letter to the saint now and ask him to issue an order to order Mu You to stay in Xiangzhou forever."
"Nonsense!" Li Huichun scolded and glanced at me: "You are married now, why are you still acting like a child? Who do you think you are? You are now the owner of the inn and Xian'er's husband. Xian'er is still pregnant.
As for your child, what you should do is to let your child be born safely."
"But...but Mu You..."
"Where should he go? He has his own plans, and he wants you to worry about it? As a friend, you should respect his choice."
Li Dongsheng sighed, and his face finally calmed down a lot: "Okay, I won't interfere, I will talk to him and see what he plans. Oh, by the way, he seemed a little uncomfortable when I saw him a few days ago.
I feel so sick. Have you checked with him? I don’t know what’s wrong with him.”
A strange smile appeared at the corner of Li Huichun's mouth: "It's not you who caused this, how can I look at it?"
"Did I hurt him? How could I hurt him?" Li Dongsheng was a little confused, and I was also confused.
"Okay, wait until I meet him, have a good talk with him, and let him go to the inn to find you, okay?" Li Huichun became a little impatient: "Isn't your inn busy? You still have time to run around? That's all.
He who is about to become a father should stop playing around and make more money for his children."
"Yes, that's what Brother Yin taught me. I stopped by to buy a piece of ink from Liao's Wenzhai upstairs. Do you know? Now I can sell a piece of calligraphy for one tael of silver, just like Mu You told people's fortunes in the past, and I won't pay them back.
Price, haha, let's go. Oh, Li Jianghu, remember to come to the inn tomorrow to pick up your couplet."
"Okay, thank you, boss." I replied and saw Li Dongsheng striding upstairs.
"Hey, do you have anything else to do? The Chinese New Year is coming in just two days. Have you prepared all the New Year's goods?" Li Huichun asked, and it was clear from his words that he was issuing an eviction order.
I pretended not to know: "We have almost bought everything. We ordinary people don't have much to buy, just some food, rice, oil and salt. It would be good if we have something to eat."
"Oh." Li Huichun responded. Seeing that I still had no intention of leaving, he added, "I heard that you have been taking care of Meng Baotou, and his family has sufficient supplies for the new year?"
I smiled: "You have so many things to worry about."
"Oh, just ask."
"Then I also have something to ask."
"explain!"
I looked outside and said, "Li Dongsheng seemed to have called you 'Brother Yin' just now. What does that mean?"
Li Huichun picked up the medical book again and sat down: "I accompanied Mu You to Chang'an three years ago. At that time, I used the pseudonym 'Yin Zimu'. He and I became brothers, so he called me 'Brother Yin'. I'm used to it and can't change it."
mouth."
"Um...then Li Dongsheng just said he wanted to write a letter to a saint? He...who is he?" I asked again.
"Li Dongsheng's father had a high position and worked for the crown prince. He was a third-rank official. He was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was deeply loved by the prince... who is now the saint. He would be invited to the palace every wedding banquet.
The scenery is endless.
Unfortunately, during the An-Shi Rebellion, his father moved westward with the Supreme Emperor. He was in such a hurry that he could not take care of his family, so he had to flee on his own, wandering around."
"It turns out that Li Dongsheng has such a distinguished life experience, no wonder he always looks aloof." I sighed: "Then his father didn't find him later?"
"His father... died of illness on the way westward," Li Huichun said, with some sadness in his eyes.
"Then he didn't go back to Chang'an? Today's saints should still remember him. Wouldn't they give him an official position out of gratitude for their love back then?"
Li Huichun smiled coldly: "Have you ever heard of the 'Mawei Mutiny'? It was because of that incident that the prince went north to Lingwu and ascended to the throne, while the saint became the emperor.
I heard from Mu You that many of the ministers who dissuaded the prince from proclaiming himself emperor died of illness, and some were unfortunately killed by the rebels. As for the specific truth, who knows? Because the so-called history we have seen,
It’s always been written by the winners.”
I was shocked: "You mean, Li Dongsheng's father might have been a saint..."
Li Huichun continued to read the medical book and said: "I am just a little doctor. I don't dare to discuss government affairs. It's just that I met Li Dongsheng when I was in Chang'an. He is now Xian'er's husband. I don't want him to have anything to do with the royal family anymore.
Implicated. Wouldn’t it be nice to be an innkeeper and live an ordinary life?”
"It's pretty good." I sighed sincerely.
"Then why are you lingering? Why don't you go and report to Magistrate Xu?" Li Huichun finally drove off.
"Report? What to report?"
"Didn't Magistrate Xu ask you to check on Li Dongsheng? Have you forgotten?"
"Oh." I suddenly remembered, and then became confused again: "How do you know?"
Li Huichun smiled proudly: "It's okay to tell you that the county magistrate, Xiao Xiao, is a secret agent of our Chen team."
"Ah? County Lieutenant Xiao? You...how did you convince an official to become your subordinate?" I was simply shocked. Thinking that apart from Song Erlang, we were the only family left in our team, I felt so ashamed.
Li Huichun took out the golden flute and slapped it on the cabinet: "With this, he can't beat me, so of course he has to listen to me. Li Jianghu, remember, if you dare to name other spies besides me, I will use this
Jin Xiao wants you to look good!"
"You...can you be any more annoying? Humph! Tell Jiajia that I have to leave beforehand." I glared at him and left the hospital without looking back.
…
"Lao Meng, look what I brought to you." I shouted and pushed open the courtyard door with my shoulder.
"Li Jianghu, why did you buy so many things?" It was Long Yuhan who came up to me. He helped me unload the large and small bags on my shoulders and shouted into the room: "Master, this is Li Jianghu."
Lao Meng finally came out in a wheelchair and complained: "Jianghu, why are you buying something again?"
"It's nothing, just some daily necessities. Oh, and I brought you a jar of wine. It's the Chinese New Year soon, so it's just a small thing." I said politely. Although I spent nearly 500 yuan in total, I looked at him
It's so pitiful, so I need to show some expression.
"This... is really costing you money. Yuhan just said that he would take me to his house to celebrate the New Year this year. Hehehe, Xiaomu came to see me yesterday and also gave me two jars of wine and winter clothes. I
This is what good deeds I did in my previous life, and you guys are taking care of me..." Lao Meng said, his voice became a little more choked up, and his eyes turned red.
Long Yuhan and I comforted each other and chatted with him for a while. We saw that he was in a good mood before saying goodbye.
"Li Jianghu, thank you." Walking on the road, Long Yuhan suddenly stopped and said solemnly.
I scratched my head in embarrassment: "Why are you so polite? I still have one tael of silver every month. It's almost the Chinese New Year, so I just want to be considerate."
"You deserve the salary of one tael of silver, but those things are your kindness. He is my master, and I should be filial to him, but you have done something that is difficult for ordinary people to do. You are a
Good guy!" Long Yuhan praised.
Hearing his praise, I became even more embarrassed: "How can I be so good? If you want to thank me, just thank Xiaomu. He really doesn't care about anything in return and is sincerely good to Lao Meng."
"Xiao Mu...hehe, the imperial envoy is really a good officer that I have rarely seen in my life. I would like to thank him properly on behalf of the master, but...I haven't seen him for a long time."
I was a little confused: "Isn't he still in the government office yesterday? I helped Master Lin handle the case, went to the governor's office to report the case, and saw him and Yang Mosheng having tea in the east courtyard. Because there were so many people, I couldn't talk to him
Talk."
"Yesterday?" Long Yuhan thought for a while: "Yesterday I was patrolling the streets, but I didn't see the imperial envoy. When I returned to the governor's office, I heard Meng Sima say that Yang Mosheng was too defensive, accidentally injured someone, and was imprisoned."
"Oh, I guess Yang Mosheng left after dealing with it. Anyway, our imperial envoy is always invisible. He only appears when something happens. I don't know where he lives every day."
"That's right, the bed in his east courtyard is just a decoration. I can only take a nap at most. There is not even a change of clothes in the whole room." Long Yuhan frowned: "Lei Inspector once asked me to secretly
After checking, I saw that the imperial envoy inserted the bolt of the courtyard door, climbed over the wall and went out, and followed him for a while, but lost him, and in the end his specific residence was not found."
