Datang New Giants

Chapter 22 Borrowing Flowers to Worship Buddha

Lu Xiaoding said indifferently: "The prisoner is a guilty person. If something happens on the way to exile, if you want to blame it, you will blame your own life. If you are injured or sick, you will be responsible. This old man has committed a crime. No one dares to intercede with him. Listen to him." It is said that the family business has also been taken over by someone. I searched it just now, and I still have 21 coins on my body. Mr. Xiaolang is familiar with this place. With this money, please ask someone to bandage it. Whether he can hold on depends on his own fortune. .”

Prisoners in exile live and sleep all the way. It is common for them to get injured and get sick. If they have money, they pay for a doctor. If they have no money, they fight on their own. Many prisoners die on the road every year. If you are acquainted, tell him where you are buried, and move back for burial if you have the conditions. If you have no money or ignorance, you can find it yourself. If he fell down by himself, the medical stone was invalid and died. If there is a certificate, he can do business, but the reward is less.

The argument with Ke Laiju just now was not about offending the old man, but mainly about spending some money. Seeing that the idea was hard, he gave up this idea. As for paying for the sinful old man's medical treatment, Lu Xiaoding never thought about it.

These catchers are really hard-hearted. In his eyes, a human life is probably not as important as a roast chicken. What can 21 cents do, and it is not enough to pay for a doctor's visit in the middle of the night. Dog skin plaster.

Lu Ting felt a little uncomfortable, but quickly expressed his opinion: "When a person lives in a guest house, even if he is a prisoner, he is also a guest of the guest house. Don't worry, Zhang Zhang, the old man's injury, the guest house will ask the doctor to treat it." good."

When speaking, Lu Ting did not lower his voice. Shui Sheng, Xiao Wu and Er Wang were a little surprised when they heard it, but the two police officers were overjoyed. Anyway, the prisoner died on the way, which is not conducive to them receiving the reward.

Zhang Changming, the head catcher, said with some embarrassment: "Guests are responsible for living here. I admire the head catcher very much. It's just that I hurt my leg. It's a bit troublesome to recover. Board and lodging is not a small burden."

The travel expenses are only a little, and if you use a little, you will get a little less. It is said that the tendon is injured for a month, and the leg is broken for a hundred days. If you live for such a long time, you will have to pay for it. Wang Gui, who was lying on the couch, had a gloomy expression.

"Ke Laiju invites a doctor to benevolent, but you still want to take advantage of it? Is it really a soft persimmon for Ke Laiju?" Shui Sheng was upset when he heard it, and reprimanded him on the spot.

Just as Lu Xiaoding was about to talk about finding a small temple outside the city to stay, Lu Ting waved his hand and said, "Don't worry Zhang Butou, from today onwards, there will be no charge for the room, and guests who come to live will also provide three meals for the two of you."

"Mr. Lu, this, this." Xiao Wu was so anxious that he didn't know what to say. This matter was related to him. He also paid for a doctor and provided board and lodging for two arresters. After all, the three of them were originally seven. Cheng's internal price stays down, and the loss is big.

"I'll explain where my boss is." Lu Ting's words made everyone shut up.

The money is not yours, as long as someone else takes responsibility, the head catcher Zhang Changming's eyes lit up, he cupped his hands and said, "Young Master is still responsible, I admire you."

Although Suzhou is a bit dilapidated, it is still a big city. The scenery is not bad, and some people provide food and accommodation, which is equivalent to inviting yourself to go sightseeing for free. Why not do it? Lu Xiaoding on the side also smiled, expressing his satisfaction with the result.

When everyone was discussing, Lu Ting kept paying attention to Wang Gui's movements. He didn't know if he was really dizzy or he was indifferent to everything. From the beginning to the end, he lay there quietly with his eyes closed, without saying a word, or even moving one time.

After the discussion, things will be easy to handle. There is also a familiar doctor in the guest house. Shuisheng drove the carriage, and soon invited a doctor who was proficient in wounds. After the inspection, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, but when he fell I was stabbed by a sharp hard object, but my muscles and bones were not injured, and I was able to get out of bed in three to five days.

Zhang Changming also breathed a sigh of relief. It’s only three or five days. Hurry up later, or grit your teeth and hire a carriage. You can still complete the task within the time limit. They say Suzhou is a paradise on earth, and it’s a good choice to spend a few days here, maybe When I go back, the prisoner’s family members can pay respects. The little hoof that I ordered in the kiln yesterday was very tasty. Maybe I was too anxious, and I disarmed him soon, which made Zhang Changming very bad.

I just took advantage of this opportunity and went for a meeting after lunch.

After the wound was cleaned and bandaged, the doctor prescribed another prescription. After Lu Ting cleared the tent, the sky had just revealed a hint of fish-belly. Chirping for something to eat, looking at the rising Xu Sheng, listening to the melodious singing of the birds, and smelling the scent of flowers and dew in the air, Lu Ting couldn't help stretching.

I don't get enough sleep, and I've been busy for so long, I'm really tired, but Lu Ting doesn't care at all, his eyelids are heavy, but his heart is fluttering, and his brain is excited. The ducks in the pot are about to fly, but he didn't expect The willows are dark and the flowers are bright, Wang Gui broke his leg, so he can only stay and recuperate.

Even the gods help themselves.

"Mr. Lu, you are tired too. Why don't you go upstairs to catch up on your sleep? We will take care of the shop and call you when you have something to do." Shui Sheng said apologetically.

"No, my eyelids were a little bit fighting just now. I got through it and I can't sleep now. If I'm tired, I'll just lie down for a while." After Lu Ting finished speaking, he opened his mouth and said: "Shuisheng, ask the back kitchen to prepare some suitable for that sinful old man. Get something to eat, get some chicken soup or something, bring it to him when he wakes up, by the way, hurry up and cook the medicine too."

Shui Sheng responded, and quickly said hesitantly: "Mr. Lu, are you being too kind to that criminal old man? It would be nice to hire a doctor for him, and make him chicken soup? I'm afraid that the boss will blame him if he knows."

Even though he is just an ordinary handyman, Shui Sheng also knows the truth that kindness does not command soldiers, love does not stand up for affairs, righteousness does not manage money, and kindness does not serve as an official. If every customer sympathizes, this business will be lost sooner or later, Mr. Lu He just entered this line of work, so he hasn't experienced many things, but he has no airs on weekdays, and occasionally teaches the guys how to read. Shui Sheng admires Lu Ting very much, and can't help reminding him in a low voice.

"Don't worry, my boss is a kind person and will understand. If I don't understand, I will take responsibility for everything."

"Understood, Mr. Lu, I'll arrange it now." Shui Sheng replied, and quickly went to the back kitchen to let the cooks do it.

I reminded myself that it is Mr. Lu's business to listen or not.

Just when Shuisheng was worried that Lu Ting's being too kind to the sinful old man would make his boss unhappy, Lin Zhengshi, who was having breakfast, was listening to his servants report on the matter.

No matter what you do, it is very important to be well-informed. Mrs. Lin has a way to collect information. She can quickly know what happened in Suzhou City, including last night when a guest fell and injured herself in the middle of the night.

After the servant finished reporting, Lin Zheng said without raising his head, "Understood, step back."

"Aunt" Zheng Yanzhi, who was having breakfast with Lin Zhengshi on the side, said: "That prodigal son is really bold, generous to his aunt, he fell down by himself, why should he be responsible, a small bookkeeping, a job Don’t even ask for instructions for such a big decision, you have to teach him, yes, fine him half a month’s money.”

That Lu Ting actually said that he looked like a brothel girl, Zheng Yanzhi was angry now thinking about it.

Without raising his head, Lin Zheng gently pulled a small piece of mustache into his mouth, and said nonchalantly, "Fine? Why is there a fine? I think he did a good job."

"No way, not bad?" Zheng Yanzhi's voice raised an octave: "It's just a prisoner who fell down by himself, maybe on purpose. Is it necessary to treat him so nicely? If everyone learns from him in the future, then How about the business of guest accommodation.”

Zheng Yanzhi didn't think there was anything wrong with helping an old man, but it didn't prevent her from deliberately contradicting Lu Ting.

When learning calculations with Lu Ting, sometimes the reaction was slow, and sometimes he didn't grasp the point for a long time. Lu Ting said a few words, but he could bear it.

"This person is different, he is Wang Gui, Xiao Zhier, have you heard of him?"

Zheng Yanzhi nodded: "I have heard that the former Crown Prince Zhongyun, but he was unlucky and was dismissed from office and exiled in Yuezhou."

Mrs. Lin Zheng glanced at her little niece, and said earnestly: "Not to mention anything else, he deserves special treatment just because he comes from the Wang family of Taiyuan, but his affairs are very complicated, and it is easy to get involved. If you rush to help, you are afraid that someone will stare at you, but now it is different, he is injured, and he happens to be living in Kelai, so it would be bad to push it outside, Lu Ting did a good job this time."

"Auntie, if we take him in, will those people in Chang'an be upset?" Zheng Yanzhi said with some concern.

"Not afraid." Mrs. Lin wiped her hands with a hot handkerchief, and said calmly, "Yesterday, I received news from the capital that Yang Wengan's matter has become an ironclad case. An abandoned son of value, no one will pay attention to him for the time being."

Wang Gui is an honest and upright official with a good resume, but unfortunately he became the scapegoat for Yang Wengan's mutiny. Now that he has lost his official position and is exiled in Yuezhou, who would care about an old man in his 50s who has lost his official position.

"Then old man Wang is expected to come back?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on the result of the fight between the crown prince and the King of Qin, but the uncle is already old, and after leaving Chang'an, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go back." Lin Zheng said with some regret.

The seven clans and five surnames can be famous all over the world. In addition to their own conditions, it is also related to the fact that the seven clans are connected and support each other. It can be said that one is prosperous and the other is damaged. In order to fear the relationship, several clans often get married. The Zheng family in Xingyang now has no less than twenty sons-in-law from the Wang family in Taiyuan. They are all their own people. There is a risk, and they will definitely not make a move. Now that there is no risk, Lin Zheng has one eye open and one eye closed. , just sell Wang's favor.

　Two, please support, I haven't saved it yet. Boss, can I click it?
