Chapter 337 Two confidantes
Dr. You followed the county magistrate back to the county government office, and found a secluded secret room.

The two entered the room, Dr. You sat on the chair anxiously, the county magistrate poked his head outside the door to look left and right, and then stepped back to close the door.

The county magistrate, surnamed Jiao and named Yong, was in his sixties and was transferred here from Anzhou 25 years ago.Sitting in the position of county magistrate until now, he has no chance to be promoted or demoted.Even when the second prince caused chaos in the world, it didn't affect him.The local people privately said that Mr. Jiao was tall and fat, he had no desires and desires, and he would probably spend his whole life in office.

Dr. You said: "Brother Jiao, I think that woman is in good shape, I'm afraid those idiots in your yamen won't be able to catch her."

County Magistrate Jiao also found a chair and sat down, and said, "Let them catch her. Even if they can't catch her, it's okay to scare her away. You and I have guarded this place faithfully for more than 20 years. Now it's time for the master to take care of her." It's the last book."

Doctor You's complexion suddenly changed, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Jiao, don't forget that your master gave you an order, you can only wait for her order."

County magistrate Jiao glanced at him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother You, you are not promising, we are the most trustworthy subordinates of the master. Look at me, I am also a county magistrate after all. There are sedan chairs when I go in and out, and someone serves me when I eat and drink. How about you? , just worked as a doctor in Daliang Village, and didn’t even ask for a daughter-in-law. Most of my life has passed, are you addicted to it?”

"Isn't this what the master ordered?" Dr. You raised his head and said, "The master treats me well. If she hadn't sent someone to scare away the Hua family, I wouldn't be able to take over these two clinics."

County Magistrate Jiao laughed and said, "Brother You, you don't understand this. Do you think the master is such a kind person? At the beginning when Shen Yuexi asked Dr. Hua to treat Xiao Zhuo's arrow wound, as far as I know, the master was actually very unhappy .”

Dr. You was surprised and said: "Could it be that the master wanted to kill Xiao Zhuo at that time?"

"How come, no matter how unhappy she is, she will let her son kill Xiao Zhuo with his own hands."

"It doesn't matter who kills."

"Hehe, Brother You, you have been a doctor for a long time, and you don't like to use your brain anymore." County magistrate Jiao turned his body sideways to Doctor You, "Master really wants to kill Xiao Zhuo, but he just wants you to heal his arrow wound. It's a poisonous thing. But the master just wants to prove that her son is better than Xiao Zhuo, so everyone can win, and the Buddha is like a stick of incense."

Doctor You said: "Master has so much resentment towards that person?"

"Look at what the master has done." Magistrate Jiao leaned back on the chair, "Doctor Hua has treated me several times. But if the master really wants to kill them, I have to be ruthless."

Dr. You said: "Forget it, let's not mention these past events, now someone is looking for Mu Zhongren. What should we do?"

"Brother You, you can't stay here anymore," County Magistrate Jiao closed his eyes and said, "Clean up and go to the capital to find the master."

Doctor You was stunned for a moment, stood up and said, "Master didn't let me go, how could I leave."

County magistrate Jiao sneered: "It will only be more troublesome for you to stay. People already know that you have a relationship with Mu Zhongren, so there is no guarantee that they will not be investigated to the end. This matter can no longer be hidden. Just to be on the safe side, don't go back to Baohe Tang, I will give you 200 taels of silver, and the horses will be tied at the door. You take advantage of the darkness and go to the capital overnight to report this matter to the master, and I will take care of the rest."

As he said that, County Magistrate Jiao reached out from his sleeve and took out two banknotes with a face value of 100 taels, and put them on the table.

Dr. You didn't go to get the bank note, but hesitantly said: "I'm afraid the master will be angry. You also know that the master can't tolerate someone disobeying her orders."

County magistrate Jiao said: "You can think clearly, it's not beneficial to stay here."

Dr. You shook his head repeatedly, and said: "I won't leave. If that woman comes to the door, I'll just insist that I don't know where Mu Zhongren is going."

County magistrate Jiao got up helplessly and said, "Well, you and I are generally working for the master, and I can't order you. I'm going to urge my subordinates to search for this woman. Before you catch her, you hide here and don't go anywhere. .”

Doctor You agreed, and Magistrate Jiao went out.

It was late at night, Dr. You was sitting alone in the room, looking at the bank notes on the table, recalling the scene when he accompanied his master to Beijing.

The master was only six years old at the time, and it was his first time in Beijing, and everything he saw was new.She and her sister ran fast in front, and the servants chased after them in a panic.Unexpectedly, as soon as the master rushed out of the alley, he heard a horse neighing, followed by a boy's scream.

Children must be watched firmly, and accidents are easy to happen if they let go for a while.That's what he learned from it.

They chased out of the alley, originally wanting to boast that they were Duke Pei's servants, but they found out that the boy who fell off the horse was Prince Xiao Man...

After the master was rescued by Xiao Ming, there was nothing unusual, but he would hold the Dragon Huan jade pendant all day long to enjoy.

Pei Guogong and his wife didn't care too much. Everyone thought that the master was still a little girl who just liked beautiful accessories.The master also told Pei Guogong very seriously that she should not marry someone like Xiao Man when she grows up, but Pei Guogong just smiled and said that marriage can't be changed.Let me tell you what a six-year-old girl knows.

Three years later, on a certain outing, he followed his master as usual.The master stood on a high hill holding the jade pendant, looking down at the jade pendant, his thin body swaying in the wind.

After standing for a while, the master turned around, his immature face was determined, as if he had made some important decision.

"You Bingjun, I want to tell you to do something. Only you and I know about this matter, and it will take a long time. You have to hide your name from now on, and I will announce to the outside world that you fell off a cliff and died."

He is loyal to his master, and if the master tells him to go east, he will never go west.

However, when he finished listening to his master's narration, he couldn't imagine that this was something a nine-year-old girl could think of.

"Master, this matter is too big, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it." He admitted frankly that he was not capable enough.

"It doesn't matter, I will arrange the money and people you need, and Jiao Yong will help you," the master said lightly, "I asked him to prepare for the scientific examination, and when he passes the examination, I will find a way to bring him Transfer to Tongliao County to help you. You two are the people I trust the most, don't let me down."

It was a simple sentence, but it made him feel grateful.

In his eyes, a word of approval from his master is more precious than shining gold.This is why he can stay in Daliang Village in obscurity for 26 years.

Jiao Yong is right, if he stays any longer, it will be harmful and useless.It is most reasonable to report this matter to the master.Although he violated the master's order, the master should not blame him for his loyalty.

He thought it through, and immediately got up, grabbed the bank note, put it in his arms, and went out. The horse was tied outside the door, and the saddle had already been prepared.He got on his horse and sneaked out of the county office through the back door.

In the dead of night, there were no pedestrians on the streets in the county seat, and the government servants holding torches were looking around.

He came all the way to the gate of the county town like a thief.The gatekeeper had already been ordered by County Magistrate Jiao, and when he saw him coming, he didn't say a word, and immediately opened a gap in the city gate to let him out of the city.

Afraid of attracting attention, he didn't light a torch and galloped towards the capital in the dark.What made him a little puzzled was that since he left the city, the horse's hooves were heavy, as if it was carrying two people, and it ran a bit slowly.

He ran for a while, stopped the horse at the side of the road, and planned to get off the horse and check to see if the horse's hoof was injured or something.He just took off the stirrups, and before his legs could be lifted, someone pushed his shoulders and fell off the horse with a plop.

When people are old, they are not like when they were young.This fall made him dizzy, and he almost lost his breath.

He propped himself up with trembling hands, and only after he opened his eyes, he saw a long streak of bright light shining under his nose, but it was not gold, but the cold edge of a long sword.

He was taken aback, and just about to open his mouth to call for help, the tip of the sword was inserted into his mouth.He had to obediently raise his hands in surrender.

Born as a guard, he has not used a weapon for 26 years, and he has long been unfamiliar with it.But he still has eyesight.The ability of the black-clothed woman in front of him to control the long sword is definitely the most stable he has ever seen.The sharp point of the sword pressed against his tongue, and the cold spine of the sword pressed against his teeth, but it didn't cut his mouth at all.

"If you dare to shout," the woman in black said coldly, "I will let the sword go forward three inches, understand?"

The woman in front of him is the one who came to the clinic to look for him.After Ganqing left the city, the woman got on his horse without a sound. No wonder the horse ran so hard.

He wanted to nod his head to show that he understood, but the long sword couldn't do so, so he could only raise a finger to show that he understood.

The woman in black nodded: "Very well, where is Mu Zhongren?"

Doctor You wanted to shake his head, but if he shook his head, the sword would cut his mouth open.I had to stretch out a finger again and shook it.

"It was you who brought the news to Mrs. Lin back then, how could you not know." The woman in black raised her willow eyebrows and gave away the tip of her sword.

Dr. You felt a pain in his throat, as if he had been pricked with a small steel needle.He didn't dare to move his body, but his upper and lower teeth shook, knocking against the sword spine continuously, making tinkling noises, like two little blacksmiths beating.

The woman in black seemed a little impatient, and was about to ask again.The sound of horseshoes sounded faintly in the distance.

Doctor You didn't dare to turn his head, he only turned his eyes to the direction of the sound of horseshoes, and after a while, he saw two horses galloping forward, the riders could not be seen clearly in the dark, but they seemed to be two women from their figures.

"Woo-!" The leading woman rushed forward and reined in, "Sister Ji, let's come."

Doctor You heard the familiar voice, and then took a look under the moonlight, it's not Shen Yuexi.

I always thought that it was just a nosy woman who stood up for Mrs. Lin, and even made up a lie in my heart, but I didn't expect that it was Shen Yuexi who came to make trouble in person.Really, she is obviously pregnant, and she ran so far from Shengjing to stand up for a grassroots?
He vaguely felt that something was wrong, maybe it wasn't that simple.

Shen Yuexi came over with a smile and waved: "Doctor You, long time no see. You have to be honest, otherwise I will be angry."
