Daming Junior Scholar

"Of course it's that simple, otherwise what do you think it would be?" Zeng Yifan asked back, and then sighed softly: "Master He won another big victory a few days ago, and the enemy killed a lot of them. I didn't expect that I was also seriously injured, and my wife also knew that besides your husband, there is no one else in Manjing who can cure this disease, so this time, after Mr. Zhang knew our family's difficulties, he took action himself Solve it for us, and if Zeng Lin goes to the academy in the future, no one will bully him."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zeng has completely believed in Zeng Yifan's words. She never thought that the seemingly useless medical skills learned by Xianggong would have such magical effects. Ming, the hard days are finally over.

After the haze in his heart dissipated, the roast chicken was quickly eaten by two people. Zeng Yifan just watched and didn't do anything. When it was dark outside, he and Zeng returned to his room. After avoiding Zeng Lin, Zeng Yifan still did not forget to ask: "I am going to Paju, I am afraid I will not come back in two or three months, you should keep an eye on Zeng Lin, don't let him do anything stupid, and if If someone asks about my whereabouts, you just answer what I just said, and nothing else will happen."

If Zeng Yifan didn't ask, Zeng wouldn't doubt it, but after hearing what he said, Zeng's mind suddenly had doubts: "Sir, what are you going to Paju for? If Mr. He is going to see a doctor, why does Eunuch Zhang give you so much gold?"

"It's really just a doctor's visit. Don't ask so many things, just take care of Zeng Lin. I have to hurry tomorrow, so I'll rest first."

Zeng Yifan was afraid that Mrs. Zeng would see something, so he took off his coat casually, and got under the covers by himself.

Chapter 1367 I Don't Believe

Chapter 1367 I Don't Believe

It was really a coincidence that the eunuch who led the team to Paju was also surnamed Zeng.

But Zeng Yifan didn't intend to strike up a conversation with him, he had already got close to the big tree Zhang Yong, so naturally he didn't like these small fish and shrimps, besides, he was also considered an imperial physician, mixed with an eunuch However, if the people in the Xinglin knew about it, they would think that they had lost their strength of character and did such flattering things.

Of course, Eunuch Zhang is definitely not included in this.

From the capital to Paju, the fastest way is to ride a fast horse all the way south. In this way, it will take less than ten days to reach Paju, but this is also the most tiring choice.

Of course, the most comfortable way is to go boating on the canal, and then turn to the sea to go to Paju. Although this way is slower, it is much more comfortable than the pain of riding a horse.

Zeng Yifan naturally chose the latter option, and took the boat with Eunuch Zeng and a dozen guards beside him, and when they arrived in Paju, nearly a month had passed.

Seeing that he was not far from Paju, Zeng Yifan suddenly had a strange idea in his mind. Most of the stories he heard about He Jiaan were passed on by word of mouth, but in fact, is He Jiaan as powerful as he is in the legend? I really don't know too well, I have to take this opportunity to see clearly what kind of person he is.

Zeng Yifan first greeted Eunuch Zeng with his thoughts, and Eunuch Zeng showed some dissatisfaction with his behavior of looking for trouble for nothing, but Eunuch Zhang had already given orders when he came, and everything must be done. Focusing on Zeng Yifan, no matter how dissatisfied he was with Zeng Yifan's thoughts, he could only bear with it first, and followed Zeng Yifan's instructions to stay in the same place for two days before heading to Paju.

With only one decent guard, the two of them rode on horses and headed towards Paju first.

It only takes half a day to travel from the nearest county to Paju, but the road is quite desolate, and there are no people coming and going on the empty official roads. As for the imaginary caravan, there is no way to see it, and it is almost halfway there. At that moment, Zeng Yifan finally couldn't help sighing.

The guard beside him asked curiously, "Why did Imperial Physician Zeng sigh?"

"Hehe." Zeng Yifan shook his head with disdain: "When I was in the capital, everyone was praising He Jia'an, saying that He Jia'an had both civil and military skills, that martial arts can stabilize the country, and that literature can serve the country. It’s like a peach garden, but look at it now, no one passed by us on this road, what does this mean, it shows that this He Jia’an is also that kind of incompetent person, and he got to this point only by cheating.”

When saying this, Zeng Yifan deliberately used very serious words as if he was trying to convince himself.

The guard beside him blinked, not knowing whether to agree or to refute, so he just smiled, as if he hadn't heard Zeng Yifan's complaint.

Although the guards didn't want to listen, Zeng Yifan didn't want to stop. From the very beginning, he started nagging non-stop, as if the whole world was full of corrupt officials.

As they walked, the distance between the two of them was much closer to Paju. At this moment, a different color suddenly appeared on the official road in front of them. When they got closer, Zeng Yifan could see it clearly. On the entire official road, it seems that many big holes have been dug out by someone, and the potholes look very ugly.

Zeng Yifan became angry at once, no wonder no one walked this road, how could there be caravans on such a potholed road, he immediately jumped off his horse, pointed at the big hole on the ground and said angrily: "Look Look, what am I talking about, this He Jia'an is a liar who speaks slanderously, what kind of paradise, I think it should be in dire straits."

The guards immediately didn't know how to respond to Zeng Yifan's words, but looking at the big pits of different depths on the ground, he felt a little guilty in his heart. How these pits came about really made people a little curious. He Jiaan brought someone to dig it, right?

This possibility definitely does not exist, and what is going on, I am afraid that I can only understand it after arriving in Paju.

After Zeng Yifan complained for a while, he got on the horse again. Because of the pits on the road, the speed of the two of them obviously slowed down a lot. After walking forward slowly for a while, suddenly appeared in front of him Dozens of Min Zhuang, with several carriages, are pushing the soil off the carriages, filling it into the pit, and then tamping it down hard, and then walking to the next pit.

There are still road repairers?

Seeing this scene, Zeng Yifan finally felt a little better in his heart, but his bad feeling towards He Jiaan did not disappear.

When the two came close, those Min Zhuang couldn't help looking up at the two, Zeng Yifan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Excuse me, is Paju in front?"

"Exactly, sir, are you here to find someone?" A middle-aged man pretending to be the leader in the crowd bowed his hands and saluted.

Zeng Yifan smiled and nodded: "I'm here to visit relatives. By the way, brother, I just saw so many pitfalls on this official road. What's going on?"

"This is what you're asking?" The middle-aged man pointed to the deep pit under his feet, and an excited smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Your Majesty, I don't know, these pits were all blasted out by our lord prefect with a Francophone. "

"Ah?" Zeng Yifan was stunned, blinking his eyes and asked: "What did you just say? These pits were blasted out with Francophones?"

"Exactly."

The anger in Zeng Yifan's heart burst out, this He Jia'an really did not do good things, how could such a good officialdom be destroyed like this, and after the bombardment was over, he let the people come to level up. Is this kind of thing?

Just when Zeng Fanyi was filled with righteous indignation, the middle-aged man didn't seem to see the expression on his face, and continued: "This gentleman came a bit late, if he came a month earlier, this place would be called a tragedy, you Looking around, I can't even see the appearance of this official road, the corpses of bandits are all over the ground, and the stench has been floating for almost a month before dissipating."

The road under my feet is actually full of corpses?

It's not that Zeng Yifan has never seen corpses. As an imperial physician, he can say that he has many more corpses than most people have seen, but he has never thought that such a long official road is actually covered with corpses. If the corpses of the bandits were really like what this person said, wouldn't there be tens of thousands of them?

Is he bragging and lying to me?

Perhaps seeing the expression on Zeng Yifan's face full of disbelief, the middle-aged man snorted softly and said, "Your Majesty may not believe my words, but after you walk a mile further, you will be able to I saw a huge grave, and all the people who were killed here that day were buried there, after you see it, you will know whether what I am talking about is true or not."

Really?

Zeng Yifan still didn't quite believe it, but since he said the tomb in front, he had to see it with his own eyes.

After passing the place just now, the official road became level again, and the distance of one mile was said to be too late, but after walking for a while, Zeng Yifan saw a huge grave in front of him. .

This is probably the biggest grave I have ever seen in my life, Zeng Yifan was stunned for a moment.

Chapter 1368

Chapter 1368

Paju, without the threat of Japanese pirates and bandits, has become more relaxed and happy. There are scenes of singing and dancing everywhere, and most of the people have satisfied smiles on their faces.

But laughing is laughing, you still have to do the work that should be done, otherwise, where will you have the money to support the whole family, and you will definitely not be able to eat enough just by laughing.

I still remember the shock when I saw the grave in my mind. Zeng Yifan finally entered the city of Paju. As soon as I entered the city, I felt that the people here seemed a little different from those in other places. It was almost impossible to see it on the street. When he saw any idlers, everyone passed by him in a hurry, as if there was something big waiting for him to deal with.

After walking for so long, the two of them felt a little hungry. They looked at the side of the road, found a small tavern and went in. As soon as they entered, the waiter in the shop greeted them and said with a smile: "Two customers Please, I don't know what you two want to order."

The current Zeng Yifan is no longer the impoverished imperial doctor Zeng in the capital, his pockets are full, and he has naturally started to pay attention to what he eats. He found a seat by the window and sat down without even looking at the menu. He waved his hand directly and said, "Serve a few plates of your restaurant's good dishes, and serve a jug of good wine."

"Okay." Xiaoer took a look and knew that this must be a big customer, so he quickly responded and turned back, leaving two people sitting on both sides of the table, constantly watching the pedestrians on both sides of the road with curious eyes. Chief, the guard seemed to notice the difference, even if he had nothing to say, he smiled and said, "Doctor Zeng, why do the people in Pazhou walk so fast? What are they going to do?"

Zeng Yifan is not He Jia'an, how could he know what these people are doing, he shook his head with a smile, just when Xiao Er came over with wine and food, Zeng Yifan pulled him and asked: "Xiao Er, let me ask you, what is the place on this street?" Why are the people walking in such a hurry? Is there something wrong?"

"Ah?" Xiaoer was taken aback by the question, looked at the people outside the window, blinked his eyes, and smiled suddenly: "Is this the common people you are asking? They are all in a hurry to work, You must be foreigners, I don’t know the situation in Paju, there are too many places to work and not enough manpower, everyone is busy earning money to support their families.”

Oh, so busy?

Zeng Yifan is also an ordinary person in the capital, and he has a deep understanding of these odd jobs in the capital. If you want to find someone to work, you have to look for it in the morning. If you look for it in the afternoon, you can't even find a person, let alone anything After finishing this and then doing that, it's not that people don't work hard, but that they don't have so much work.

From this point of view alone, there is a big difference between Paju and the capital.

Zeng Yifan nodded silently, the thoughts in his heart were very different from when he came here, if he said something bad on purpose when he came here, to make himself hate He Jiaan's words, then now his feelings for He Jiaan are already a little bit It's complicated, because he seems to have realized that He Jiaan seems to be completely different from what he imagined.
