Chapter 113 The Drink of the Long Night (1)(1/2)
The gentry and merchants in Chuzhou still digested the news they got when they visited the night before.
The new marshal is domineering?
Joy and anger are as good as you want?
The biggest fear is the unknown. If you know it, you will be less afraid.
If you don’t make a first bird, the new marshals on the left and right will not offend all the upper and lower parts.
With the fact that Tu Sanye left Chuzhou intact and the Yunbao family practiced the engagement in advance, it can be seen that the new marshal has a bit of loyalty, unlike a ruthless person.
Unexpectedly, in just half a day, new news came.
Additional defenders were sent at the city gate, and allowed to enter but not leave.
There are also more intensive patrols on the street.
Ordinary people also notice changes.
The thieves and beggars on the market are gone.
The little businessman who is picking up the picks has a louder hawking voice, and he wants to sell it all and close the stall as soon as possible.
Passers only think that the streets are clean and the sellers are more attentive. It is also easier to bargain today, which is quite good.
In the afternoon, the family who received the post found that there were also more guards near their house.
...
Mr. Bao was lying in the door and looked out through the crack in the door.
A dozen steps away from the Bao family's gate, a soldier stood, two of them said this, and one of them pointed to the Bao family's house.
Mr. Bao frowned and hurriedly looked for Dr. Bao.
"Dad! Did the elder brother come back? What's going on? There are about a dozen people staring at our house outside. This... this is not a trap for the prefecture. Let our family marry Zhang and use it to deal with us?"
Dr. Bao was calm now.
I really want to clean up the Bao family, so I just cleaned up. What if I have to do it twice?
There is nothing to worry about in the Bao family.
"Didn't the city gate be closed? Didn't it come for us? When your elder brother went to the prefecture in the morning, he brought ten kilograms of Korean ginseng. That was our family's thanks to the little marshal..."
After hearing this, Mr. Bao was still uneasy: "What exactly does Marshal Huo want to do? He agreed to treat him, but he first copied the You family and Zhang family, and he also used this trick... It's so scary..."
Dr. Bao's brows frowned even tighter.
Really to scare everyone?
Why scare everyone?
Or is it intimidation?
But a backhand?
The dinner party tomorrow is even more dangerous than expected.
"I asked Xiao San to clean up tomorrow... and I went to the prefecture with him..."
"Dad! The mistress is only thirteen, isn't there Xiaoyuan or waiter?"
"Your elder brother only has these two sons... You still have two sons, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu!"
Dr. Bao looked at his son with a drooping face and could not refuse.
"father!"
"It's useless to call my ancestors! Leave the mistress behind, take Xiaosi and Xiaowu!"
“…”
...
Beijing Flavor Building, second floor private room.
Mr. Guo was holding a purple clay teapot in his hand, standing at the window, looking at the street.
Only what you can see here are two teams of patrolmen.
The pedestrians walked in a hurry and dared not stay any longer.
The child from the dim sum shop opposite ran out and wanted to find his friends to play, but was chased out by his family and carried back.
The bustling streets in the morning suddenly became depressed.
The gentry and people of Chuzhou finally knew the changes in the weather.
After a while, Manager Guo came in and was confused.
"Dad, my son asked someone to inquire... Last night, many people in the city visited each other, but they were just visiting each other and did not do anything else... Isn't it a misunderstanding that the state yamen looks like they are all soldiers, right?"
It turned out that when Manager Guo discovered martial law in the city, he first suspected that someone was restless and implicated, so he asked someone to go out and inquire.
Mr. Guo shook his head: "If you really misunderstand someone's bad behavior, just take the people directly. Why do you have to make such a big fuss! The city gate is allowed to enter and leave... It is not this or that one, but all the gentry families..."
Manager Guo was stunned when he heard this.
The new marshal was granted Chuzhou for several days, but he has not shown up.
Even the official in charge of the prefecture was the first to hear about the new marshal.
Manager Guo met Huo Bao once and had a good impression of this little marshal.
If your son defeats his father, he will not feel bad about the new marshal.
"My cousin is in the prefecture yard. Do you want to ask Uncle Xun..."
"No, that's a big taboo!"
"this……"
"Don't be impatient, wait and see!"
As early as the day when the senior executives of Chuzhou changed their positions, Mr. Guo immediately arranged for his confidant to go to Binjiang to inquire about the new marshal's behavior.
Calculate the time, I will almost come back today.
...
State yard, front yard.
Huo Bao was very happy when he saw the Korean ginseng: "What a coincidence, he was thinking about telling Dr. Bao this..."
If it were someone else, I would have to say that one thing or another was that I thought the Bao family loved inquiries and was interested in engaging in the business.
Huo Bao didn't care.
I didn’t hide the fact that I bought Korean ginseng in Beijing Weilou yesterday, and I should have found out if I have any intention of asking.
Bao Baiying explained, "The Korean ginseng from Jingweilou was taken by my Huichuntang. The owner was my cousin. He came to my house as a guest last night and mentioned the Korean ginseng. My father heard that Xiao Bao wanted to buy this, so he asked me to bring ten kilograms over."
As for the words used as thanks, he swallowed them and said nothing.
Even if you want to reciprocate, you have to consider your identity.
Huo Bao collected Korean ginseng and said, "If it's convenient, I'll help me with some... Quyang, there are elders in Binjiang that need filial piety..."
Bao Baiying hesitated and said, "There can be squeezed out in the pharmacy, but not many... There are many prescriptions for this, so you have to keep a few kilograms for the time being saved. The patients cannot match it..."
Huo Bao said: "That's it, let's go back and ask someone to go to Jinling to take a look..."
Bao Baiying was very careful. In addition to Korean ginseng, he also gave him two medicinal recipes and two ginseng tea recipes.
"Koryan ginseng is warm in nature, but not everyone can take it tonic... Is it a medicine or a right medicine!"
Huo Bao nodded, but said nothing to ask Bao Baiying to take the father's pulse.
Although Bao Baiying has good character, he has different positions and needs to wait and see.
I asked the doctor to see my father's body when I was in Quyang.
Last year, a serious illness not only left a cough, but also damaged the vitality and needed to be recuperated slowly.
Now that two months have passed, my father has flesh on his face and his face is much better.
He asked Bao Baiying to wait a moment, and went back to get thirty taels of gold out: "I forgot to prepare a gift yesterday, and I happened to make up for it today."
The remaining five taels of silver is He Yi.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiaobao!"
Bao Baiying did not refuse, collected the gold and returned home after taking the yamen.
...
Huo Bao took the Korean ginseng back to the yard.
This afternoon, everyone moved out of the living yard.
Several yards in the Houya have been cleaned up.
Deng Jian and Xue Biao are like the example of the Ma Village Master, entering the hospital one by one.
