Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

After the fantasy of Jinyiwei in his mind was completely replaced by reality, Li Xiu also had to admit that Jinyiwei today is really not a good place.

Wei Zhongxian has already started to take power, and the glory has emerged. Although the Dongchang and Jinyiwei have re-emerged, the characteristics of Jinyiwei are destined to be ostracized.

Moreover, it is precisely because Jin Yiwei relied on Wei Zhongxian to re-emerge, and when Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, he was fooled, flattered, and enraged by the group of Donglin Party, and ordered the eradication of the so-called "eunuch party". If I am in Jinyiwei, I will be affected by Chiyu.

"Never mind him, take one step at a time..."

Unable to figure it out, he simply didn't want to, Li Xiu rubbed his cheeks, leaned on the carriage in a comfortable position, and chatted with the man in Jinyiwei beside him without saying a word.

To Li Xiu's surprise, Zhang Wu turned out to be an elite trained by Jin Yiwei, but his training was still far away in the Wanli period.

Listening to what he said, it was obviously quite embarrassing. According to common sense, the elites of the direct descendants trained by the Jinyiwei would not have been wasted for more than ten years, and they were just a small banner of the Jinyiwei.

It's just that Zhang Wu was obviously unlucky. He made great contributions in joining Jinyiwei. He had just been promoted from an ordinary wrestler to Xiaoqi.

Don't even think about practicing martial arts. Fortunately, the foundation laid during the training is still there, and you can barely survive in Jinyiwei.

Chapter 27 Diagnosis and Prison

Zhang Wu's expression was a bit decadent, but Li Xiu, after listening to his narration, couldn't help asking:

"Brother Zhang, didn't you find someone to treat him?"

"treat?"

Zhang Wu took a sip of wine, and sighed heavily: "When I was first injured, I went to many doctors, but they all said it couldn't be cured!"

"After a long time, I also put out this thought,"

"Mr. Qin's medical skills are superb. I wonder if Brother Zhang has gone to Mr. Qin for treatment?"

"Old Qin?"

Zhang Wu was slightly stunned, and then a wry smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Qin was only invited into Jinyiwei by Li Qianhu in recent years. After all these years, I have already stopped thinking about treatment. After all, I am not young, and treatment also needs treatment." A lot of money..."

Li Xiu nodded, but he understood quite well. Zhang Wu should be in his early thirties. At this age, he is probably already married and having children. Judging from Zhang Wu's tone, life should not be considered rich.

"Brother Zhang, I know a little bit about medicine, let me show you."

"you?"

Zhang Wu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and stretched out his hand: "You are going to practice with me!"

Li Xiu laughed dryly and didn't say much.

Up to now, he naturally knows that even if he only understands a single medical book, his medical skills are definitely not low. At least, in that cave, he has not encountered any doubts that can stump him.

Raising his hand to check his pulse, after about a moment, Li Xiu's expression became more solemn, but Zhang Wu couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he saw Li Xiu's change of expression. It is this look.

And when Li Xiu's inquiry fell into his ears, Zhang Wu couldn't help being even more surprised. You must know that what Li Xiu asked was very different from those of the doctors who diagnosed him before!

At this time, Zhang Wu recalled that when the war ended that day, it seemed that Li Xiu was the one who treated the wounded Jin Yiwei...

Just as Zhang Wu was muttering in his heart, Li Xiu had already obtained the diagnosis result.

The heart and lungs were injured, qi and blood stagnated, oppressing the internal organs, coupled with low mood and stagnant liver qi, which aggravated the deterioration of the injury.

Although there are no major symptoms now, it is also due to Zhang Wu's strong body. Once his qi and blood are weakened, many symptoms may appear one after another, and he may even die if it is serious.

When Li Xiu told the result of the diagnosis, Zhang Wu couldn't help trembling with the hand holding the wine jar, and opened his mouth, wanting something, but he couldn't say it now!

Li Xiu didn't notice the change in Zhang Wu's demeanor at this time, he was completely immersed in the analysis and diagnosis of this disease.

But after a while, a diagnosis and treatment plan emerged in his mind.

"Brother Zhang, do you have a pen and paper? I'll prescribe a prescription for you. When the time comes, you can go to the pharmacy to get the medicine yourself and decoct it on time. It will take half a year at most, and the symptoms should be relieved a lot..."

"It's just that when the time comes, we have to see how the disease progresses before we can prescribe the right medicine..."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Wu seemed to have just realized it, and immediately groped around for a while, then seemed to think of something, suddenly turned over from the carriage, and after a while, he hurried over with a pen and paper.

Seeing this, Li Xiu didn't say much, picked up the charcoal pen, spread out the paper, and began to write on it.

In the end, Zhang Wu held the prescription tightly. After a while, he finally couldn't help asking: "I...my illness...has it really reached this point?"

Li Xiu frowned: "There are prescriptions and diagnosis results. Brother Zhang, when you go to the pharmacy to pick up the medicine, you can ask the doctor to look at it for you to confirm."

Hearing this, Zhang Wu quickly waved his hands and smiled along with him, "I didn't mean that...uh... just didn't expect..."

"It's okay, I understand."

Li Xiu nodded, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Speaking of which, he should be only fourteen or fifteen years old now. This age is really hard to convince.

At this moment, the convoy suddenly separated. Li Ruolian led the team and walked along the street, while Xu Tao led Jin Yiwei, escorted several prison cars, passed through an alley, and finally stopped at a place surrounded by walls. Surrounding the square.

The square is quite spacious. On the side facing the alley, there is a row of fortifications against horses, and a team of royal guards standing. Behind it is a closed iron gate.

Before getting out of the carriage, Li Xiu keenly smelled a familiar smell, his eyes shifted, and finally fixed on the dark brown dirt floor.

How could he be unfamiliar with this scene, bloody erosion, piled up on the ground, that's what it looks like, and the smell in the air is the thick blood that can't go away!

"Prison!"

In an instant, these two words appeared in Li Xiu's mind.

Apparently, in the capital city, such a bloody place is probably the only one that has such a vicious reputation.

"Put them all in jail!"

Soon, Xu Tao's order sounded, and after glancing at Zhang Wu, who was holding the prescription tightly, Li Xiu opened the door of the carriage, and unceremoniously drew his knife out, pointing the shining blade at the two prisoners in the carriage. Famous bandits.

"Go down!"

With a scolding, the two bandits obediently got out of the carriage, but when they got off the carriage and saw the word "Jieu" on the iron gate, the faces of the two bandits immediately turned pale, and their faces were full of blood. Frightened and trembling all over, both of them collapsed to the ground in fright, and one of them even howled and struggled to escape.

It's just that he was bound by shackles, so there was no way he could escape. Before the others could react, Li Xiu followed up with a few steps and kicked the bandit to the ground. above the neck.

But what Li Xiu didn't expect was that the bandit wiped the blade without hesitation, blood spattered, and collapsed to the ground.

"..."

Li Xiu didn't react to this sudden change, but the guards in Jinyi seemed to be used to it, and when they saw the bandit fell to the ground and spurted blood, they all went their separate ways.

"It's hopeless, kill it!"

At this time, Xu Tao strode over, took a look, and then gave an order.

After Li Xiu landed a knife and spattered a smear of blood, Xu Tao slowly said: "Our prison is famous for its fierceness, and many prisoners are often like this. They would rather die than go to the prison, so in the future Be careful when you die, it will be cheaper for them to die like this!"

Hearing this, Li Xiucai realized a little bit, and nodded: "This subordinate understands."

"Well, please pay attention in the future, this time I am here, and the person who died is not an important person... If you lead a team to perform missions alone in the future, and this kind of thing happens, you will be responsible. If an important person dies, If you don’t make it right, you’ll have to go to prison for a while!”

Chapter 28 Arresting Li Xiu, a small banner officer of the Thousand Households Office

With the lesson learned this time, Li Xiu dared not be careless. He stared at the remaining bandit very carefully, followed the other Jin Yiwei guarding the prisoners, and walked towards the prison.

Accompanied by a series of scalp-numbing creaking sounds, the two heavy iron doors were slowly opened by the Jin Yiwei guarding the prison.

What catches the eye is a relatively spacious bluestone staircase. The bluestone staircase is slope-shaped. From top to bottom, there are oil lamps fixed on the stone walls on both sides, emitting a faint light. The breath came rushing towards the face, faintly, and there were screams and wailings coming along the bluestone steps.

In such a scene, not to mention those bandits, even Li Xiu couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat. This appearance was really intrusive.

"Go! Let's go!"

Jin Yiwei skillfully pushed and shoved the dawdling bandits, but he also seemed to be familiar with the road.

Li Xiu felt relieved at the moment, he was a Jin Yiwei, and although the imperial edict was terrifying, it couldn't be more terrifying than him.

After walking about a hundred steps along the bluestone stairs, the wailing and screaming sound became more and more clear. Afterwards, everyone finally appeared in a rather spacious cave.

Not surprisingly, it was Jin Yiwei who was interrogating the prisoner. His bloody body was tied to various instruments of torture that were almost beyond Li Xiu's knowledge, and Li Xiu's scalp felt a little numb when he saw it.

This is true of Jin Yiwei, not to mention those bandits and the pampered Zhou Zongjian, some of them even urinated!

"Shut up those bandits to the lower floor first, this dog officer, just lock up here, and show him how our Jin Yiwei interrogates the prisoners!"

Xu Tao's order was issued again, and the group of Jinyi guards also moved according to the order, while Li Xiu followed the group of Jinyi guards in a daze. Passing through this spacious cave, there was another bluestone from top to bottom. ladder.

Obviously, this imperial prison has more than one floor.

After Jin Yiwei locked the bandit into the cell, Li Xiu couldn't help but look around. The layout was similar to that of the upper floor. Coming down from the bluestone stairs, there were cells separated by bluestone on three sides, and most of the cells were locked up. Looking at the prisoners, all bloody and skinny, most of them collapsed directly in the cell, with numb expressions and no light at all.

Only the bandits who had just been imprisoned still had the strength to shout, but obviously, at least before the interrogation, no one would pay attention to them.

In the middle of the cave, it is obviously the place of interrogation. All kinds of instruments of torture are displayed, and the dark brown blood stains are all over the torture instruments. A disgusting smell.

On the last side, there is a passage, and it seems that there is a layer of prison below.

After taking a look, Li Xiu didn't wait too long, and hurriedly followed the other Jin Yiwei up the bluestone stairs.

A group of Jin Yiwei didn't stay in the prison, so they went directly to the square to assemble.

Li Xiu originally thought that there were some tasks to be arranged, but he didn't expect it to be a loot-sharing meeting.

Under Xu Tao's arrangement, money bags containing silver taels were distributed to every Jin Yiwei. What Li Xiu didn't expect was that he also had a share.

The purse is not big, about the size of a palm, and there are scattered pieces of silver in it. When he came to this world, he was reduced to the wilderness. Not to mention silver, he has never even seen copper coins a few times.

Just looking at the smiling faces of Jin Yiwei beside him, Li Xiu reckoned that the purchasing power of these pieces of silver shouldn't be small.

When Jin Yiwei left in twos and threes, Li Xiu, led by Xu Tao, walked through the alley and walked to the main street of the capital.

It was midday at this time, the sun was shining brightly, and there were fewer people on the street, but under the sun, the blood-stained clothes were stained with sweat, and immediately became sticky, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Along the way, watching the street vendors talking with customers, Li Xiu also had a general idea of ​​the few taels of silver in his hands.

There are about three taels of silver in his wallet, and he doesn't know the fineness of the silver, but the silver comes from that Zhou Zongjian, a dignified court censor, so it is impossible for the embezzled silver to be of poor quality.

In this way, a tael of silver can probably buy a stone of rice, and a stone of this era...

Li Xiu couldn't help recalling the stone piers in the cave that were used to build strength. He remembered that one of the stone piers seemed to be a standard stone.

"One stone is equivalent to about [-] kilograms in modern times..."

"One tael of silver can buy about [-] kilograms of grain..."

Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help tightening the purse in his hand immediately, three taels of silver is really not a small amount!

You must know that this is not the era of worry-free food and clothing for later generations. In this era, food is a hard currency that is incomparable to anything!

One tael of silver can buy more than 70 kilograms of grain, which can completely satisfy the normal diet of a family of four for two to three months. Moreover, this is still the time to eat rice and eat. If you save some food and drink some water For porridge, it is normal to eat it for six or seven months!

With such purchasing power, it's no wonder those Jin Yiwei are all smiling.

Just as Li Xiu was subconsciously thinking about what to buy with the three taels of silver, Xu Tao, who was walking in front, stopped.

At this time, Li Xiu realized that when he was thinking wildly along the way, he had already arrived in front of Jin Yiwei's yamen.

"After going in later, talk less and watch less, don't make any trouble, otherwise no one will be able to protect you, understand?"

After a word of advice, the two walked into the Jinyiwei yamen one after the other.

Li Xiu originally thought that there was something important, but the result was once again beyond Li Xiu's expectation, it was just to register the name plate and receive the clothes and equipment of Jin Yiwei.

Fortunately, after several months of martial arts practice, his body has already opened up, he looks quite strong, and he has grown a lot taller, and the smaller Jinyiwei clothes fit him just right.

There are two sets of Jinyiwei clothing, of course, it can also be regarded as one set.

One set of blue and green splendid clothes that he usually wears, and the other set is an iron helmet and black round collar armor. This set is obviously the armor for body protection when performing tasks.

Li Xiu saw quite a few guards in brocade clothes, and they seemed to be wearing green and embroidered clothes, iron helmets, black round collar armor, and a long knife hanging from their waists.

And the legendary flying fish suit, bullfighting suit, and embroidered spring knife...

That doesn't seem to be something Li Xiu, a small flag officer, can expect.

Walking around the Jinyiwei mansion, not only more clothes and equipment, but also an official Jinyiwei identity...

Jin Yiwei arrests Li Xiu, a small banner officer of the Thousand Households Office!

……

Chapter 29 Inn

"You know the rules of Jinyiwei, so I won't repeat myself."

"I'll take a rest in the capital for a few days, and you are familiar with the capital. By then, the training will be over there. If there is no accident, you will definitely want to work in the capital for a period of time..."

The two walked out of Jinyiwei Yamen, Xu Tao was talking while walking, while Li Xiu followed Xu Tao obediently, answering from time to time.

After walking for a while, the two walked into an inn on the side of the street. After choosing two rooms, Xu Tao was relieved, and after a few words of advice, he left the inn alone.

The inn room is quite spacious, and the antique and exquisite furniture can't help but make Li Xiu a little dazed.

Speaking of which, it was the first time for him to live in such a room. When he was in the wilderness, most of the time the sky was the bed and the ground was the bed. It was already very good to have a dilapidated temple to shelter him from the wind and rain.
