Chapter 59

The guy at the post house got more and more enthusiastic as he talked, and simply rolled up his sleeves: "Let me tell you, the post house was burned down because of you, and you have to pay compensation. I can't let you run away, no, I have to report it to the official. .

Yes, you should report it to the official.I tell you, you all just stay here.I'm going to report to the official now. I'll wait until the official comes to discuss everything. "

"I'm just going to the city to ask for a doctor." Qin Ruizhi felt that the inn clerk had a mental problem and it was simply whimsical. But since he was going to the city, it was up to him. "Since the younger brother is going to the city to report to the doctor, Then please ask my brother to help me find a doctor and hire a carriage to come back."

The innkeeper screamed and kicked away the empty bucket at his feet, "You all caused me to burn down the inn, and you want me to help you call a doctor. That's not impossible, just pay first and call the doctor." Money, money to hire a carriage, money to run errands.”

"can."

After Qin Ruizhi agreed, she took out her silver bag from her body, took out the banknote from Zhang Bailiang Guanglitong Trading Company, and handed it to the clerk at the post office, "This is 100 taels."

The inn clerk took the banknote and looked left and right, "What is this? Can you take out a piece of paper to fool me?"

"This is a bank note, a commercial note from Guanglitong of the Pei family in Puzhou." Qin Ruizhi said angrily: "I'm really ignorant."

"I have no knowledge?" The inn clerk was not happy, his face drooped, as if he was about to get angry at any moment, "You used a piece of paper to fool me, and you also mocked me for my lack of knowledge. What about the Pei family in Puzhou? You can do it It’s clear, this is Chongzhou, who knows the Pei family in Puzhou?”

Guanglitong's commercial tickets are only circulated in Puzhou, and can also be used in surrounding counties. If they are too far away, they will not work. This is why the Pei family insists on driving Guanglitong to Kyoto, and then radiating throughout the country through Kyoto.

But except for these banknotes, Qin Ruizhi had no other silver coins on her body. The scattered silver she brought were all placed in the package and could not be taken out because they were all caught in the fire.

"If you don't want it, just give it back to me?"

Qin Ruizhi wanted to get the money back, but the inn boy took a step back and stuffed the banknote directly into his belt, "This piece of paper doesn't count. Give me the money again and I'll run errands for you. Otherwise, I'll just report it to the official." The life and death of other people has nothing to do with me.”

Not returning the useless scrap paper, rogue, and greedy.

But Qin Ruizhi really couldn't afford the money. When he was hesitating, he thought of Zheng Pin, the son of Prime Minister Zheng.

And the inn boy in front of me is about to report to the official, that's great.

Qin Ruizhi pointed at Zheng Pin, "Brother, when you go to report to the official, take my friend with you. He is seriously injured, with old injuries and new injuries. Without treatment, he may not be able to survive tonight. He is Prime Minister Zheng's Lao Laizi is very precious. If you take him directly to the government and report his identity, you can have everything you want."

"You can pull him down." The inn clerk said dismissively, "The Prime Minister's son doesn't live in an official inn, but comes to live in our private inn. You can make it up. I think you just don't want to pay."

Noisy.

Qin Ruizhi couldn't stand this self-righteous inn man any longer, so she pulled out her sword and held it against his throat, "Don't talk nonsense. I only give you one chance. Do you want to go or not? If you don't go, you will die."

"Go! Just go, talk nicely, and don't play around with knives and guns."

The inn clerk responded quickly, then ran to the backyard, pulled out a small donkey, and called Qin Ruizhi for help. The two of them worked together to lift the unconscious Zheng Pin onto the donkey's back, and set off for the city.

After entering the city, we went straight to the county government office.

It was late at night, and the county government did not accept the case, so they had to take Zheng Pin off the donkey and sleep at the gate of the county government all night.On the second day, when the sun was rising, the county government opened the door.

The inn clerk carried Zheng Pin to the county master again, explained the purpose of his visit, and told the whole story, from Qin Ruizhi and his party's check-in, to the masked assassin setting fire to the night attack, and then to subduing the assassin, Zheng Pin was seriously injured and fell into a coma. , the medical hall burned down and collapsed, and the details were discussed.

The county magistrate doesn't know Zheng Pin, so it's difficult to tell the truth from the false.

However, Tian Shangzheng, the governor of Chongzhou, was a disciple of Prime Minister Zheng, and his appointment as governor of Chongzhou was highly recommended by Prime Minister Zheng. He hurriedly went to the governor's office to explain to Governor Tian the whole story.

Although the governor Tian could not tell the truth immediately, Zheng Pin knew it when he took up the judicial post of Xiangzhou.

Originally, he suggested to his mentor that Zheng Pin should be transferred to Chongzhou, and he could help him, but Zheng Pin refused and went to Xiangzhou to avoid suspicion.

Xiangzhou has been experiencing injustice recently. First, the King of Xiang conspired to rebel, and then brought out the money-making workshop. I had also heard the news that Zheng Pin was assassinated on his way back to Beijing. When everything is connected in series, the authenticity is very high.

That was the son of his mentor, the most noble and precious young son.

Tian Governor hurriedly followed the county magistrate to see Zheng Pin. When he arrived at the county government office, he saw Zheng Pin lying on the ground with a pale face and a dying figure. He immediately cursed.

The county magistrate did not dare to delay and quickly invited the most famous doctor in Chongzhou City to treat Zheng Pin.

At the same time, another group of officers and soldiers were sent to the post house with the staff of the post station. The post house had completely collapsed.

After all the fires were extinguished, ten charred corpses were pulled out from the ruins and arranged in a row. They were burned beyond recognition, leaving only a charred black body, whose appearance could not be discerned at all.

After a busy day and a half, the officers and soldiers still had no intention of letting them go, not even allowing them to hire a doctor.

Qin Qingyue was severely burned. He had a high fever and started talking nonsense.

The other Pei family guards were not in good health either. Some of them suffered knife wounds, some were burned by fire. They were sleepy and hungry. They were all in a trance and collapsed in large areas.

Qin Ruizhi ate very little last night and was exhausted after staying up all night.

She got up and walked to the leading officers and soldiers, "Master, Mr. Zheng returned to Beijing and hired us to escort him. We also fought hard to save his life. Can we hire a doctor to treat our injuries first?" .

We were all seriously injured and couldn't even walk. We didn't have the strength to run even if we wanted to.Can you be accommodating and send us to the city for medical treatment? If we are really worried, send someone to keep an eye on us.

If you have anything to ask us later, we will definitely cooperate and tell you everything you know.Please be kind and allow us to seek medical help. "

The officer and soldier asked the busy officers and soldiers around him. The situation on the scene had been recorded and the number of people had been counted. He waved his hand and said, "Go back to the county office."

Then he glanced at the guard who had fallen to the ground, and ordered: "Save a car for the seriously injured to ride back to the city."

Qin Ruizhi thanked her repeatedly and asked the Pei family guards to help carry Qin Qingyue into the car. She also asked several of the Pei family guards who were more seriously injured to sit in the car, while the others with less serious injuries followed the car and slowly returned. He went to the city, went to the medical center, and asked a doctor to treat his illness.
