Master Luo Cao

"There must be a way for a car to go to the mountain, and a straight line for a boat to reach the bridge." Kou Luoche patted Fu Yunshu on the shoulder, "Brother Fu, don't panic, there must be a turning point for this matter."

As soon as the words fell, a yamen servant came to report, "My lord! Doctor Bai and Doctor Xi have been invited!"

Surprised and delighted, Fu Yunshu got up, and said, "Quickly invite the two doctors to Kong Lun's room!" After the yamen servant was ordered to leave, he looked at Kou Luoche with sparkling eyes, "Brother Kou is really clever!" Rubbing his hands together, he murmured, "This time, Kong Lun must be woken up."

The two hurriedly walked towards the room where Kong Lun was. There were two yamen guards standing on the left and the right at the door of the room. When they saw Fu Yunshu and Kou Luoche, they immediately bowed and saluted, "I have met Mr. Fu, Mr. Kou."

"Exemption." Fu Yunshu said: "Doctor Bai and Doctor Shao are in there?"

One of the yamen servants said: "The two doctors have already gone in."

Pushing the door open, Dr. Shao was half-kneeling beside the bed to check Kong Lun's pulse. Dr. Bai was standing aside, stroking his beard, and a few yamen servants were waiting on him. Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, they all turned their heads and saw that Fu Yunshu saluted one after another, "I have seen Mr. Fu."

"Excuse me." Fu Yunshu said, walked to the side of the bed, stood on tiptoe and looked at Kong Lun, seeing that his face was still pale, his eyes closed and lifeless, he couldn't help frowning, and asked: "You two doctors, How is Kong Lun's condition?"

Dr. Shao said: "Young Master Kong was frightened, overwhelmed with grief, and depressed. Apart from his weak bones, he needs some time to recuperate. There should be no other serious problems."

Fu Yunshu's gaze shifted to Doctor Bai, and Doctor Bai also hurriedly said: "What Doctor Xi said is that although Young Master Kong is weak and weak, he is a young man after all, and his foundation is still there. He will be fine after a period of recuperation."

Fu Yunshu didn't care about whether Kong Lun could take care of him well. Impatiently, he tapped the table twice with his right index finger, and said softly, "Since there is nothing serious, why did Kong Lun suddenly faint?"

Doctor Bai said: "Young Master Kong's pulse is slow and calm. It should be because he took tranquilizing medicine, but he accidentally overdosed. But my lord, it doesn't matter. Teach him to sleep well, and he will be fine when he wakes up." .”

Dr. Shao echoed, "Yes, yes, it will be fine after a good night's sleep."

Fu Yunshu's right hand was slowly withdrawn from the table, and it was covered under the long sleeve, his fingers tightly clutching the cuff, and said, "Then when will he wake up?"

The two doctors looked at each other and said hesitantly: "This...it's hard to say, maybe I wake up in a while, maybe... I can sleep for a day or two, it all depends on the individual's physique."

Fu Yunshu was silent for a moment.Seeing this, Kou Luoche asked: "Dare to ask the two doctors, is there any way to make him wake up immediately?"

"If you want to talk about the method," Dr. Bai twirled his beard, hesitantly said: "There is no special method, but there is a common method that you can try..."

Fu Yunshu's eyes lit up immediately, "What way?"

Dr. Shao said, "Cut a cut on your hand and let some blood out, maybe you can wake up earlier."

Cutting the mouth and letting bloodletting is a common thing for Kou Luoche, without thinking about it, he said: "Then let's try."

"It's not right." Fu Yunshu stretched out his hand to stop him, and shook his head lightly at Shangkou Luoche's questioning gaze, "Although bloodletting is only a small wound, if Kongde finds out and says that we are extorting a confession by torture, it will be a shame." The mouth of the mouth. The Confucian family is different from ordinary people, so don't act rashly."

Kou Luoche smiled slightly, and said: "What the county lord said is true, I am being reckless."

"I'll trouble the two doctors tonight." Fu Yunshu said while leading the two old men to the door, suddenly smiled, and said softly: "The county will send people to escort the two doctors home. It's not early, so early Take some rest, don't talk too much."

The two old men immediately understood, bowed and saluted: "Yes, Mr. Fu, Cao Min will leave."

Watching the two doctors leave, Fu Yunshu turned back to his room and said coldly, "Bring over the doctor sent by the Kong family."

The yamen servants guessed that the county magistrate was going to interrogate this guy early in the morning, so they detained him in the firewood room not far from here. After getting the order, they brought him here not long after.The Langzhong must have been prepared for a long time. When he saw Fu Yunshu with a stern face and a hostile expression, he saluted without being humble or overbearing, "Caomin has seen the county magistrate."

Fu Yunshu said: "Since you are so calm, you must know what this county is looking for you to do."

"The county magistrate interrogated Caomin late at night because of Master Kong's unconsciousness." The doctor admitted frankly, "To tell you the truth, the grassmen fed Young Master Kong earlier were indeed tranquilizing pills, and two or three pills are usually enough. Well, Cao Min accidentally gave Master Kong six pills, and he is already weak, so if he doesn't sleep until tomorrow evening, he will definitely not wake up."

Fu Yunshu asked coldly: "Did Kong De tell you to do this?"

"My lord, Moyue misunderstood just now," said the doctor calmly, "It was Cao Min who accidentally overfed Young Master Kong."

"You 'missed by accident', what a coincidence you lost." Kou Luoche sneered and said, "No more than one pill, no less than one pill, but you gave as many as three extra pills!"

The doctor knelt down on the ground, "The grassroots know that they are guilty, please punish the county magistrate." He spoke frankly, without any look of repentance on his face, obviously saying, "I did what I did, but I don't want to confess. Hurry up and hit it."

This "frankness" made Fu Yunshu very unhappy, and quietly said: "As a doctor, the wealth and life of others are all tied to you. Are you so responsible?"

The doctor was silent.

Kou Luoche squeezed close to Fu Yunshu's side, doing his best to be a dog-headed military advisor, and said eccentrically: "Master, some people just don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin. He won't be willing to tell the truth obediently."

"Then..." Fu Yunshu couldn't help looking at Kou Luoche, but saw him blinking at him, choked, and said after a while, "According to Master Kou, how should we deal with this quack doctor?"

"Hmm..." Kou Luoche pondered, with his fingers resting on his chin, he walked around the doctor kneeling on the ground twice, and suddenly smiled sinisterly, "His hands are so useless, he should exercise them, how about... ..."

Lang Zhong, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled silently twice.

Fu Yunshu couldn't help but said very softly: "After all, it wasn't a big mistake, don't punish too much."

Kou Luoche nodded lightly at Fu Yunshu, and said: "Why don't we punish him, just put his toes and palms on the ground, hang his body in the air for an hour, if he falls to the ground once during the period, it will be extended for a quarter of an hour, what does the county lord think? "

This is one of the "tortures" in the Eagle Village. Kou Luoche is specially used to punish sneaky and lazy people. Sometimes he will put a candle under the crotch. A group of strong and strong elders complained endlessly. From then on, they should patrol the mountains and watch the mountains, and no one would dare to doze off.

Fu Yunshu obviously had never heard of this type of punishment, and looked at Kou Luoche in bewilderment.The Langzhong obviously breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was nothing more than that, he said calmly: "The grassroots are willing to accept the punishment."

"In that case," Kou Luoche beckoned for someone, "then let's take him down for execution."

Seeing the person walk out, Fu Yunshu couldn't help but said, "Brother Kou, is this really useful?"

"I don't know if this trick can teach him to confess Kong De," Kou Luoche said with a grin, "it will definitely make him suffer a lot."

"But if he refuses to confess Kong De, and Kong Lun won't wake up..." Fu Yunshu hesitated.

Kou Luoche said: "Maybe we can start from another place."

Fu Yunshu asked: "Which place?"

Kou Luoche pushed the door and stepped over the threshold, looked up at the moon half hidden behind the clouds in the night sky, and said, "According to the time, they will soon be back from Bodhi Town."

"Report!" As soon as the words fell, Wang Xiaozhu ran in panting. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw a man in the center of the yard who didn't know what he was doing with his palms and toes on the ground, and beside him stood two yamen servants with their arms folded and staring at him. , momentarily confused.Kou Luoche said: "Leave them alone, what do you have to report?"

"Ah," Wang Xiaozhu came back to his senses and saw Mr. Fu and Mr. Kou standing side by side under the eaves. His face became hot, and he immediately lowered his head and said, "My lord, the person we sent to Bodhi Town has news. !"

Fu Yunshu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Where are they?"

Wang Xiaozhu shook his head and said: "It's too early for people to come back, but because of the emergency, they used flying pigeons to pass the letter." As he said, he handed over a small bamboo tube. Fu Yunshu opened the lid and poured it out, rolling it out After sending out two notes, he casually took one to Kou Luochao, and unfolded the one in his hand, he was stunned for a moment, "Shen Xun and Shen Jue are..."

It was written on the note that Shen Xun's father was the biological elder brother of Shen Jue's adoptive father.

"They are cousins ​​in name." Kou Luoche looked at the piece of paper in his hand and said.

Fu Yunshu leaned over to look curiously, "What did you write on that piece of paper?"

Kou Luoqi spread out the paper for Fu Yunshu to see. It was obviously a piece of paper that had been torn from a book. It was roughly folded and folded, and then stuffed into a bamboo tube. Many people's names were written on it in regular script. Luo Qi pointed to two of them, and said, "This is the Shen family's genealogy." The fathers of Shen Xun and Shen Jue were both brothers of the same mother, "They really have a very close relationship."

"I remember you told me before that someone replaced Shen Xun's body with Shen Jue's body because that person wanted me to see Shen Jue's body." The doctor who was tortured in the courtyard had gradually lost his strength. , his hands and feet became weak frequently, and every time he wanted to lie down on the ground, he was hit hard by the yamen servants, so the wailing continued, and his mouth kept yelling for Master Fu to spare his life, but Fu Yunshu didn't seem to hear it at all, and stared straight at the moon above his head , muttered: "Then why does this person want me to see Shen Jue's body?"

Kou Luoche said quietly: "Because he knew Shen Jue's death was wronged, and wanted to use this method to make the government avenge Shen Jue."

"So, who is this person?"
