"Doctor, what disease does the sister-in-law have? Isn't it poisoned?"

After being urgently invited by the doctor to take Yue'er's pulse, Li Ling asked quickly. At this time, he no longer had the calmness he used to be. He was so anxious that his forehead was filled with sweat beads, and his voice was even more trembling due to panic.

The doctor was quite calm and pondered for a while before saying, "Sir, don't be anxious. Miss, she is just tired and unacceptable to the local environment. In addition, she has just suffered a little cold, so she suddenly fell ill. As long as she takes the decoction prescribed by the villain and takes care of her for a few days, she will not be seriously injured."

"It's just that I can't adapt to the environment?" Li Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't really caused by someone's poisoning, she said wonderingly, "Why did she catch a cold and get cold?"

"It should be that the house here is damaged. Then Yue'er would kick the quilt away at night, and the wind would get cold at night." Yang Qingxiao was obviously more aware of this, "In addition, if the weather is not suitable for the environment, his body is weak, so he fell ill."

Li Ling looked at his sister pitifully, feeling full of self-blame. It was because of his own reasons. But soon he calmed down again and quickly bowed to the doctor to thank him. He took out a piece of silver and handed it to the other party: "Thanks to the doctor coming in time, please accept this little thing."

The doctor was a little nervous. After all, this was a county government office, and the one who faced a new master, maybe he would suffer if he was wrong. Unexpectedly, the young adult was so easy to talk to and gave a much more medical fee than ordinary people, which made him very grateful and thanked him repeatedly. Then he hurriedly prescribed the prescription and asked to decoct the medicine overnight and deliver it to him.

Li Ling thanked again and then sent the other party away. It was not until this time that Wan Shenji, who was guarding outside, asked: "Sir, what do you say in the restaurant?" I'm afraid it's not good to release pigeons, right?

At this time, Li Ling was all thinking about his sister and only waved his hand: "It's now, so I will not go again. I guess they should have parted. Let's talk about it when we meet Xu Dianli tomorrow." When we meet these people, we will try each other or make a fool of ourselves. He did not feel that it would be helpful to his next thing, and he would not go if he didn't go.

After Wan Shenji received the order and retreated, Li Ling sat down next to the bed, held Yue'er's hand, and whispered: "Qingxiao, you go back and rest first, I'll just look at Yue'er."

Yang Qingxiao saw the guilt in his heart, knew that he wanted to make up for it, so she nodded and reminded her: "Then you should also pay attention to your body." Then she left the house and carefully closed the door for him.

Li Ling sat in front of the bed, looked at Yue'er's little white face, and slowly exhaled, and then said softly: "Yue'er, I'm sorry... It's my brother who has ignored you these days."

The brother and sister depend on each other for life, but as Li Ling's identity continued to improve, the two of them got along less and less as before. Before, they had been separated from each other for a long time, but Yue'er was left in the capital. Even if Yang Qingxiao and the others were taking care of her, the little girl would feel panic after all...

But because of her greater ambitions and some reasons, she ignored Yue'er's thoughts. Even if she returned to the capital from the southwest, she didn't expect this level. Although she was together all the time, she still cared less about her. Just like this time, she fell ill and realized that compared to her and others, Yue'er, who was still underage, was weak and could easily become unacceptable, which caused more diseases.

"elder brother……"

Just when Li Ling was sitting by the bed with some self-blame and wanted to tell her sister that she felt guilty, Yue'er suddenly screamed softly, which made him feel refreshed and quickly agreed: "Brother is here!"

"Brother, don't leave Yue'er alone, I'm a little afraid..." Yue'er continued to say, her originally pale face turned a little flushed, and her body couldn't help twisting.

Only then did Li Ling realize that she was having a nightmare. He quickly held her little hand hard, bent down to her ear, and said warmly: "Brother is here, I'm just guarding you, and I won't go anywhere..."

I don’t know if this was his effect, but after a little struggle, Yue'er calmed down again, and then her breathing gradually stabilized, but she fell asleep again. Seeing this, Li Ling felt relieved and still held her sister’s hand and quietly stayed by the bed.

When the medicine was sent outside, Dongfang had already seen Bai. Li Ling, who had not slept all night, cheered up and fed Yue'er the medicine himself, and then the doctor took the medicine. After confirming that she was fine, she was completely relieved.

After this, the sky was completely bright. Just when Li Ling wanted to take a break, Li Moyun rushed to report: "Young Master, then Xu Mao is looking for a meeting outside."

"So early?" It was not until the time to go to the yamen, but then he guessed the other party's purpose and frowned, "Let him come in and talk."

In the hall of the Houya, Li Ling met Xu Mao. The household clerk seemed to be asking for guilt. After meeting, he looked directly at his boss: "Mr. Li, why did you break the appointment last night? Do you know that I have been waiting for you for a long time in Linjiang Tower!"

"This, because someone in the family suddenly fell ill, I couldn't leave for a while, so I naturally stopped going." Li Ling pressed down and was frustrated, at least he gave a reason.

"Is that so? Or is it Mr. Li, are you just waiting for me?" Xu Mao disagreed. How could such a coincidence be that your family didn't get sick early or late, and suddenly fell ill last night?

"Yes or no, I don't need to make you believe it. Also, even if your Xu family really wants to host a banquet to entertain me, I can choose not to go!" Li Ling was upset. The other party was so aggressive, which naturally made him feel very unhappy. He immediately retorted, "Finally, pay attention to your own identity and be so rude, I can punish you at any time!"

This made Xu Mao startled. In the past, whether it was Xu Gong or the other two officials, they were all kind and even gave him a little flattering, but they were not so tough. This made him feel that he, a clerk, was actually at the same level as several officials.

Until now, when Li Ling pointed out the gap between the two sides in one sentence, Xu Mao suddenly realized and his face changed again: "In this way, will the lord not take my uncle and others seriously?"

Li Ling looked back at him with red eyes made by staying up late, and said in a stern tone: "Your uncle? He is not an official, right? Do you have fame and fortune? If not, then he is the people under his rule. If he is serene and obeys himself, everything will be easy. Otherwise, I will be seen by you, that would not be a good thing."

"You... OK!" Xu Mao could not have imagined that the county magistrate was so tough, and his face turned blue, but he didn't dare to break up completely. He just snorted, got up and walked out, "Since that sir, I will tell my uncle the original words, I just hope sir, don't regret it at that time..."

Seeing that he made such intimidating words, Li Ling's face became more gloomy and immediately shouted: "Slow down!"

Xu Mao paused slightly, but he did not turn around, but stood by the threshold and sneered: "Why, sir, do you want to make compensation? It's too late, don't you be afraid to tell you that my Xu family is in Huating..."

Before he could continue to say the threatening words, Li Ling interrupted: "Xu Mao, as a county yamen official, you dare to be so rude in front of me. How can I tolerate you? From now on, you are no longer a housekeeper of our county yamen. Now go back to pack up your things and leave before noon."

Xu Mao couldn't believe his ears anymore. He actually... turned himself in a straightforward manner. Where did he get the courage and confidence? But if you want to refute it, you don't know what to say for a moment. After all, he is the official seal officer of the county magistrate and the chief clerk. He can't decide whether to stay or not, but other clerks and servants can be decided by him in a serious way.

This is the power of the county magistrate. However, in the past, the official seal officials in Huating County dared not use it. But now, Li Ling used it directly on the third day after taking office.

Looking back to object? I'm afraid it's useless.

If you don’t leave, Li Ling will definitely take the next action, which will only make him lose face.

After understanding these truths in my heart, Xu Mao could only snorted: "Sir, I am so majestic. I just hope you don't regret it. I beg me to come back then!" After that, he strides away.

Li Ling watched the other party leave, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He had never thought of confronting the local forces so soon, at least he could touch their details first, find their flaws before dealing with them. However, people's calculations are not as good as Tianshu, and Yue'er's illness has erased this choice directly.

But so what?

This is Jiangnan, not the lawless southwest. They really dare to fight against themselves openly and stubbornly? Besides, they are not afraid of this. After all, there are several masters around them.

After thinking about it, Li Ling felt that his approach was good, because although this was not his original plan, it would inevitably catch the local forces off guard. Because in their opinion, a new county magistrate had to do a test first. After some contact between the two sides, they would finally decide whether it was a friend or an enemy. At that time, the initiative would fall into their hands.

Just like the earlier county magistrate, he didn't even know how to die. Li Ling didn't want to follow the footsteps, so he took action when he arrived and directly pointed out the opposing relationship, which would be more beneficial to him.
