The Road to Fame as an Imperial Physician

Xie Lingbai ate a full meal for the first time in the past few days, and stood up to thank him after eating: "Thank you Boss Wen, my brother wakes up, and I can start work, and I will be a servant of the Wen family from tomorrow on. "

As they said that, they wanted to leave, but when they were sitting together, the tokens in their arms fell down, and there was a clear sound. Wen Changheng followed the sound and looked over, but when he saw the things on the ground clearly, his expression changed rarely.

"How could you have this?"

Xie Lingbai, who had just picked up the token, murmured incomprehensibly, and then came back to his senses and asked, "You mean this? Do you know this token?"

"do not know."

"Liar, your tone of voice just now is obviously familiar, Boss Wen, can you tell me who this token-like thing belongs to?

I found this from the ruins of my house. I think the fire in my house is very strange. When I rushed in, my parents were lying on the ground. They must have been murdered. This might be left behind by the murderer. of. "

Wen Changheng got up and walked out, Xie Lingbai wanted to follow, but was stopped by Wei Ze.

"Wen Changheng, this is really important to me, can you tell me if you know?"

Wen Changheng's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor. Xie Lingbai was a little discouraged. He was busy taking care of Xie Jinqing these days, so he forgot about it. He hadn't gone to the government to ask about the situation yet, and he didn't know if he had reached any conclusions.

But now it was dark, so I had to wait until tomorrow, Xie Lingbai returned to the guest room with his thoughts in mind.

"elder brother……"

"Xiao Jin, are you hungry?"

"I've already had porridge, and it was brought by sister Xiaorui."

"That's good. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me as soon as possible."

Xie Jinqing nodded, there were two beds in the guest room, Xie Lingbai had been guarding in front of Xie Jinqing's bed before, and tonight was just lying on the bed for a little rest.

But although Xie Jinqing's situation has improved, how can he rest in peace after losing his parents overnight.

He turned his head and looked at Xie Jinqing who was on the opposite bed. Although Xie Jinqing was only seven years old, he had always been sensible and well-behaved. Just like now, he didn't ask about his parents, because he knew that everyone would be sad if he asked.

Xie Lingbai thought, if he could be so sensible, would his parents not have worked so hard before?Every time my father would get angry because he caused trouble, but he never really hit him, at most he knelt down in the ancestral hall.

He looked at the token in his hand, where did this thing come from?He remembered well that he had never seen him at home.

Xie Lingbai was thinking about these things in his mind, but because he hadn't had much rest recently, his thoughts began to blur after a while.

He dreamed of when he was a child, and also when Xie Jinqing was born. His mother was a very gentle person. Although his father was sometimes serious, he still loved him very much.

I didn't know the feeling of sorrow before, but now I open my heart, it is full of sorrow and pain, but now I can't allow him to be sad, he must be stronger to take good care of Xie Jinqing.

"There are assassins..."

There was a shout from outside, Xie Lingbai woke up, and heard some fighting sounds when he got up.

"elder brother?"

Xie Jinqing was also woken up, Xie Lingbai walked over to cover him with the quilt, and said in a low voice: "Sleep well, I'll go and have a look."

After speaking, he walked to the door and opened the door, only to see a few guards in the yard fighting with some black-clothed masked men.

Uh, so Wen Mansion is such a dangerous place?Is it because the money has been missed by thieves?

One of the men in black saw him and threw the sword in his hand towards him. Xie Lingbai had learned kung fu for a few years, so he dodged and the sword stuck in the door.

Then he saw several men in black coming towards him, but fortunately the guards blocked them.

"Damn, came for me?"

Xie Ling was dumbfounded. Although he has often caused troubles since he was a child, he has never encountered such an assassination scene. Who hates him so much? He even lost his family and made things worse? !

Home... Xie Lingbai's mind flashed, could it be that these people...

Just now, because of the guard's shout, the guards from other courtyards also rushed over. Wei Ze came down from the roof. Although Xie Lingbai knew that Wei Ze's kung fu was superior to his, he didn't expect that it was even better than he imagined. Much better.

After a while, those men in black were captured. Xie Lingbai ran over and shouted, "Who are you? Did you kill my parents?"

"Hmm..." Those few people groaned, and then they all fell to the ground. Wei Ze took off their masks and found that they were all dead.

"They have poison in their mouths, they bite and die. They seem to be professional killers."

Wei Ze said this to Wen Changheng at the gate of the courtyard, and Xie Lingbai ran to Wen Changheng: "Wen Changheng, they must have been sent by the people who killed my parents."

As he spoke, he took out the token and said firmly, "You must know where this belongs. Please tell me, please? I don't want my family members to die so inexplicably and tragically."

"Even if you know, you can't do anything."

"Even if I can't do anything, I must at least find out why they were killed!"

Wen Changheng looked at him quietly for a while, then sighed, "This is the badge of the imperial physician in the palace."

Xie Lingbai was stunned, looked down at the token in his hand, and asked in confusion: "The imperial physician? Why is the imperial physician's badge in my house?"

Aren't all imperial physicians in the palace?It's impossible to become a killer...

"Just because you picked it up, it doesn't mean that your family's affairs must be related to the imperial physician."

"But this is my only clue. I went to the ruins yesterday to search again, but I didn't find anything else."

"so what?"

Xie Lingbai opened his mouth, wanting to say that if there is a clue, of course he should investigate, but Wen Changheng's next words were like a bucket of cold water, and he said: "Even if you hold this waist card, you will not be able to enter the palace, and you will not be able to investigate." What happened."

"I... What if I hand it over to County Magistrate Zhang?"

"You can try it, but there is nothing to prove it. Do you think Zhang Tian will help you investigate this matter? The badge of the imperial physician is related to the palace. He is the county magistrate of Xixia City. Calling the wind and calling the rain here, but it’s only here.”

Xie Lingbai understood what Wen Changheng meant. County magistrate Zhang was notoriously timid and fearful, and he would never take risks just because of his words, and he might even take away the badge and destroy it.

what to do?what to do?I can't enter the palace, and the county magistrate can't help, should I give up this only clue?

Or wait for those people to come to assassinate themselves again and catch up for questioning?But those people committed suicide by taking poison just now, and they didn't even have a chance to ask questions.

If you said that you guessed that there was something wrong with the death of your parents before, but now it is clear that there is a problem, and they have sent assassins over, they must have known that he and Xiaojin were not dead, so they came to make up for the knife.

"I, I must find out, so that my parents and the servants of the housekeeper can rest in peace, and also to protect my brother, otherwise those people will definitely not let it go."

"what ever……"

Wen Changheng turned around and left the courtyard, Wei Ze added some guards here, Xie Lingbai returned to the room and tightly grasped the belt card, the imperial doctor's belt card, what does the death of his parents have to do with the imperial doctor?

But just like what Wen Changheng said, there was nothing he could do. If it was really related to the palace, let alone revenge, he would not even have a chance to investigate.

"Brother, what happened?"

Seeing that he came in and did not speak, Xie Jinqing couldn't help asking, Xie Lingbai went to his bed and sat down, patted his quilt and said: "It's okay, it's just a thief who broke in, go to sleep."

Until Xie Jinqing fell asleep again, Xie Lingbai did not go back to her bed, but just leaned against the edge of Xie Jinqing's bed, rubbing the symbols on the waist card with her fingers.

On the second day, the government servants came to inform Xie Lingbai that he could go and retrieve the bones. The county magistrate Zhang Tian said that he had checked it and it was just an ordinary fire.

"Master Zhang, how can an ordinary fire burn so big all of a sudden? When I rushed in, I saw my parents and the housekeeper all collapsed together. I think this matter..."

"Okay, I know you're sad, but things have already happened, so what if they fell together? Maybe they found a fire and escaped together, but the fire was too big to get out, so they were all choked out .”

"But……"

"The corpses are all burnt out, and there are only a few bones left that have not been completely burnt, and we can't tell who belonged to them. How do you tell us to investigate? It's normal to cause a fire when the weather is dry. Take them back quickly and bury them properly. Let your parents and the others be buried in peace as soon as possible."

Seeing Zhang Tian's attitude, Xie Lingbai also knew that it was impossible for him to re-investigate the case, so he had to take the bones back. Uncle Chen arranged a room to house the bones, and asked someone to help carve the coffin, and bought a coffin. And count the date of the funeral.

"Thank you Uncle Chen."

"This is what the master ordered. Xiao Xie, don't be too sad. People cannot be resurrected after death. The most important thing is for the living to live well. You still have a younger brother to take care of."

"I know……"

After Uncle Chen left, Xie Lingbai's eyes slowly turned red, and he stretched out his hand to caress the coffin. His closest relatives since childhood were all inside, but there was not even a complete body.

"Father, mother..." Xie Lingbai knelt down slowly, choked with sobs and said: "My child is not filial, I didn't serve you well in front of you; I can't seek justice for you after you die."

It is said that a man does not flick his tears lightly, but what else can he do besides shed tears now? !For the first time, I felt my incompetence, and the self-righteous pride I had before disappeared in an instant.

I always thought that I was very powerful, but now I realized that without my parents, I am nothing.

There were several coughing sounds at the door, Xie Lingbai turned his head to look over, and saw Xie Jinqing standing there.

"Xiao Jin..."

Xie Jinqing slowly walked up to him, and after seeing clearly that he was crying, he finally couldn't help crying, "Brother, will we never see our parents again? Xiaojin has no parents..."

Xie Lingbai hugged him and said, "Don't cry, Xiao Jin, you still have me."

Xie Lingbai wiped away the tears from her own face, then wiped Xie Jinqing's clean as well, held his hand and promised: "Don't worry, as long as you have brother, you won't suffer, and your parents will also be there The sky is watching us, so we have to be happy so that they can feel at ease, you know?"

Xie Jinqing nodded with red eyes, only then did Xie Lingbai realize that if she was blindly immersed in pain, Xie Jinqing would also collapse.

He is not alone, he still has a younger brother, if he falls down, what should Xie Jinqing do?

The two of them stayed in front of the coffin for a while and then returned to their room. Xie Lingbai asked Xie Jinqing to take a nap and rest, and went to Wen Changheng's study.

"Boss Wen, after thinking about it, I can't just let it go. If I can't find out the truth, I will never forgive myself.

Furthermore, Xiaojin and I are still alive, and they will not let it go.Therefore, in the end, it is still necessary to solve the root cause in order to restore a peaceful life. "

Wen Changheng didn't speak, just looked at him, Xie Lingbai made up his mind and said: "I heard that the imperial hospital will select an imperial physician every three years, and next year will happen to have a chance. If, if I ask the magistrate Zhang to recommend him, go to If you participate in the selection and become an imperial physician..."

"By you?"

"Although I don't understand anything now, I can learn. This is the only way I can think of. No matter how difficult it is, I have to try. I will go to the medical hall to learn from a teacher tomorrow."

If only I had listened to my father's words since I was a child, I would have studied medicine well, but things are already like this, and it is useless to think about the past, and I don't know what the requirements for the selection of imperial physicians in the palace are, must they be very proficient in medical skills? ?

I just started learning now, is it really too late?
