Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 401

Wang Ping'an was taken to an exquisite small courtyard in the backyard of Dali Temple. Although this small courtyard is not luxurious, there are rockeries and small ponds inside, and there are even a few birdcages hanging on the branches of the big tree. There are a few birds with colorful feathers, but they don't sing.

Qin Shaoqing led Wang Pingan into the room, and said with a smile: "Master Wang, you came to save someone last time, but you never thought that you would have to wait for someone else to save you today!"

This may sound like irony, but it is not. Qin Shaoqing has always been like this, and his words have always been unpleasant. This may have something to do with his profession. He is an interrogator himself, and he is used to being stern. Smiley, a little uncomfortable!

Wang Pingan smiled and didn't take it seriously, he said: "Yes, I have to wait for others to save me. I'm afraid I will have to trouble Mr. Qin during this period of time. If there is any disturbance, you have to bear it!"

Qin Shaoqing thought for a while, and said: "To be honest, I'm afraid I'll neglect you. Your sworn brother is already helping you in the temple. Let him serve you during this time. What do you think?"

"Thank you, Mr. Qin!" Wang Pingan cupped his hands at him, and sat on the chair in the room, feeling a little worried, so naturally he didn't talk much, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Qin Shaoqing was obviously not a constant servant. Seeing that Wang Ping'an was worried, he didn't want to accompany him anymore, so he left and closed the courtyard door without locking it.

As soon as Qin Shaoqing left the yard, before he could go to the front office, he saw a person turning from behind the big tree. It was Di Renjie.Di Renjie was sweating all over his face, with a big belly, he quickly walked up to Qin Shaoqing, saluted and said, "Master Qin, Lord Wanghou is the elder brother of my subordinate..."

Before finishing speaking, Qin Shaoqing said: "Wang Hou Ye is in the temple during this period, let you take care of his daily life, and use others for fear that he will not get used to it."

Di Renjie was overjoyed, this was what he wanted.He took out a big bag from his bosom, and said: "Be kind, please accept it, Mr. Qin!"

After he knew that Wang Ping'an was taken to Dali Temple, he urgently went to Hamidi to prepare it. The incident happened suddenly and there was no time to prepare anything else. Here, come to bribe the Shangguan.

Qin Shaoqing glanced at the big bag and thought: "Could it be gold, silver and jewels?" He swallowed, shook his head and said, "Why is this so, it doesn't have to be like this!" Shaking his head, he left.

Di Renjie stuffed the big bag back into his waist, thinking: "It's impossible to dislike too little, and I must be embarrassed to accept it. This is simple, and he must accept it!"

He rushed to the outside of the courtyard where Wang Ping'an lived, and looked in through the crack of the door. Seeing Wang Ping'an sitting in the room in a daze, he opened the door and came in, shouting: "Brother, I want to congratulate you this time, and you will be promoted again." Already!"

What kind of person Di Renjie is, how can he not understand the truth of today's matter.

Ouyang Li yelled and chased for a while, then returned to Chengtianmen again, witnessed the rest of what happened, he hurried back to Lingling Temple, said this, everyone in the temple immediately split up, they had plenty of money, this is not lacking, just How to send it out, gift giving is a technical job, not everyone can do it well!
After listening to Ouyang Li's description, Di Renjie analyzed it in his heart, and realized that Wang Ping'an's going to accept the crime was just a formality, and he would be released if he was released, and his official career would be smoother in the future.The key now is that during the time Wang Ping'an is in prison, he must not be thrown into trouble by others and turn nothing into something. Therefore, the joints that should be opened up must be opened up. Isn't it just spending money? Wang Ping'an lacks everything, but not money !
Wang Pingan raised his head, saw Di Renjie came in, and said with a smile: "I don't expect to be promoted. At my age, what status can I rise to? I just hope that I can go out early this time, and that will be fine!"

Di Renjie closed the courtyard door, walked into the house, put the big bag in his arms on the table, and said, "Brother, you can hold these things to reward people. Dali Temple is easy to get in, but not easy to get out. The yamen servants in the village are quicker to turn your face than to turn a book, you don’t need to worry too much about this kind of villain, as long as you reward them with three melons and two dates, they will never make things difficult for you!”

Wang Pingan hummed, and said: "You don't need to run around, even if you don't ask anyone, I can still go out. By the way, is this temple allowed... Can Danruo and Lianwu come in?"

Di Renjie shook his head, and said: "This is not possible. Although the eldest brother is sitting comfortably in this cell, it is impossible for people to come in and serve him!"

Wang Pingan nodded and said with a smile: "It's good if you don't get sent to the dungeon, what else can you be picky about?" He was busy last night and was very tired, so he went to sleep in the back room.

Di Renjie didn't stay too long, he left the courtyard and went to work.

Wang Pingan was lying on the bed in his clothes. After sleeping until noon, he got up and went to the outer room. He saw that the table had already been set with wine and food, four meat and four vegetables, and a large bowl of soup. There was another rice and a pot next to it. liquor.

Walking to the table and looking, it seems that the food and drink have been delivered for a while, and they are already cold.He was used to living a wealthy life, and he didn't like to eat cold dishes, so he didn't eat them. Instead, he went to the yard to see the birds in the cages.

Although each of the few birds was prettier than the other, they didn't sing, but fluttered about in the cage.Wang Pingan didn't know what species these birds were, so he broke a straw stick to tease the birds, wanting to hear what such a beautiful bird is called!

But no matter how he stabbed these birds, these birds didn't say anything!

Wang Ping'an was not interested, when he suddenly heard someone talking on the courtyard wall: "The bird looks at the feathers, not the sound, and it is afraid of disturbing a noble criminal like you, so it specially raises such a useless guy! "

Wang Pingan followed the voice and looked towards the wall, and saw a person lying on the wall on the east side, with only his head exposed. This person had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a good appearance, a bald head without a hat, and looked about 40 years old, almost [-] years old. It looked like he was staring at himself playing with a bird.

Oh, Wang Pingan nodded at him as a greeting, and said with a smile, "Your prisoner? What does this mean?"

The big man heheed, and said: "What's the point? Anyone who can live in this small courtyard of yours is a person of noble rank and prominent, but whoever does not commit crimes, who can live here is undoubtedly a prisoner. Isn't it a noble criminal!"

Wang Pingan laughed, and said: "My dear brother lives next door to me. He must be a noble criminal. It's a pleasure to meet you." As he spoke, he walked to the courtyard wall, leaned on the wall, and looked at the courtyard where the big man was.

Unexpectedly, the yard where the big man lived was not like his own yard at all. The well was actually a small farmyard, and it was quite poor.

Wang Pingan snorted and said, "Dear man, why do you live here? It's so simple. Don't the people in the yamen care?"

The big man heheed, and said: "It's only like this if someone is in charge. If no one is in charge, you will go to the prison directly. This is Dali Temple, a place where people are locked up. You can treat it like an inn. You can stay in the prison without squatting." The prison cell is a great fortune!"

Wang Pingan laughed dryly, he was also a prisoner, but his treatment was much better than this big man.He asked: "My lord, Wang Ping'an, Zhongshu Sheren, may I ask you what your name is?"

The big man said: "My name is Su Lie, General Zuo Wuhou Zhonglang. Your name is Wang Ping'an? You are from Zhongshushe, why are you wearing a third-rank official uniform?" When he heard Wang Ping'an's name, he didn't have any expression of "admiration", on the contrary He was interested in Wang Ping'an's official uniform.

Wang Pingan said: "I am also the Marquis of Zheliu County!" Su Lie, this name sounds familiar!
The big man said, "It turns out that you are a Marquis, but your fiefdom is not very good. In Zheliu County, you don't want to collect a grain of grain, but there are too many thieves to count. You I'm afraid you haven't been there before?"

Wang Pingan shook his head and said, "I haven't been there. In fact, I've just been sealed as the Marquis of Zheliu County." He glanced at the stove in the yard, and said, "Brother Su, cook for yourself?"

The big man sighed, and said: "Yes, I have been locked up here for almost a year, my salary has been stopped, my family has no support, life is difficult, and I can't afford to send food, so I have to discuss it with the yamen servants. Cooking and eating, the cost of firewood and rice, after going out in the future, and then paying it together, now it is owed to them!"

Wang Pingan nodded and said, "It seems that the people in Dali Temple are quite humane!"

"There's a human fart!" The big man pouted, and said, "The daily necessities they provide me are only enough for me to eat, and it's not that they don't pay them back, and they still pay interest, but they are still stingy." So far. They offered me firewood because they were afraid that a middle-aged man like me would starve to death here, how kind of you to think of them!"

The big man looked at Wang Ping'an's yard and said, "There are some good wines and dishes in your yard, and the taste has spread to me. If you don't eat it, can you give me a taste? I haven't eaten meat for almost a year. , I forgot what meat tastes like!"

Wang Pingan laughed loudly and said, "Okay, I'll bring it to you right now, just wait a moment!"

But the big man said: "There's no need to be so troublesome. I'll just go to your place. I really can't wait for a moment!" After saying that, he jumped onto the courtyard wall and turned over.

Wang Pingan was taken aback, seeing the anxious look of this big man, he laughed again, and said: "Okay, then invite Brother Su to come over!"

The big man ran into the house in three steps and two steps in parallel. He smelled the fragrance and waited for a long time. Wang Pingan couldn't come out, he couldn't talk to him, so naturally he couldn't come over. It will never be taken without giving!
Wang Pingan followed him into the house, seeing him drink the wine, he said with a smile: "The wine and food are cold, I'm afraid the taste is not good!"

The big man gulped down two gulps of wine, wiped his mouth, and then said: "It's good to eat something, I advise you not to be too picky, maybe the food and wine are cold, can they change the heat for you? "

Wang Pingan smiled again, and shouted out of the courtyard: "Come on, come in someone!"

The big man was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Why are you calling someone?"

Wang Pingan laughed and said, "Tell them to exchange hot food and drink!"

"It's like nonsense..." Before the big man could finish his sentence, he saw the courtyard door open, and a yamen servant came in, and said with a smile on his face, "My lord, what do you want from the old man?" The yamen servant was fed by Di Renjie and took A lot of benefits are almost enough to live for the rest of my life. Can you not flatter me when I see Wang Ping'an, let him call Wang Ping'an Grandpa Wang, he will be willing!
Wang Pingan pointed to the food and wine on the table, and said: "This dish is not to my taste, so I ask the kitchen to redo it. Forget it, let's go out to the restaurant and order the food, and order it from my medicinal food workshop."

He turned his head and smiled at the big man, "Where is Brother Su from?"

The big man was dumbfounded, and after listening to Wang Ping'an's question, he murmured: "He is from Jizhou."

Wang Pingan waved his hand at the yamen servant, and said, "I asked Fangli to bring me a table of Jizhou-style wine and dishes. Speed, fast!"

The yamen servant looked like he was serving his father, nodded and bowed his head, and said, "Yes, I'll do it for you." He straightened his waist, glared at the big man and said, "Su Dingfang, what are you doing here when you have nothing to do, don't disturb the prince Rest!"

Wang Pingan groaned, so this person is Su Dingfang, Su Lie is Su Dingfang, why was he locked up here?
Su Dingfang was furious, and shouted: "Little official, how can you call me the name of a general!"

The yamen servant curled his lips and said, "So what if you call, Su Dingfang, Su Dingfang..."

Su Dingfang was furious, and when he left the house, he was going to beat the yamen servant.

But the yamen servant said nonchalantly: "Don't borrow firewood and rice? You try to move me!" He said so, but he was really afraid that Su Dingfang would come and beat him, so he closed the door and ran away.

Su Dingfang stopped, stood in the courtyard, gasped for breath, turned around after a long while, his face was full of helplessness, and said to Wang Pingan: "The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs. How majestic it is for a soldier to go out and step on the Turkic Khan's tooth tent! Now he is being called by a small official, helpless, helpless!"

Wang Pingan shook his head and said, "Why do you have to be as knowledgeable as this kind of person? It's okay!" As he spoke, he took the big bag from the table next to him and opened it. Seeing that it was full of pearls and jade, he took out two pieces of beautiful jade and said to Su Dingfang, "These It’s enough to pay back your firewood and rice, I guess it’s used to buy firewood and rice, enough to feed your son’s life!”

Su Dingfang walked into the room, shook his head, and said, "If you don't borrow it, you can't pay it back!"

Wang Pingan laughed and said: "Who wants you to pay it back! Well, I can do it if you want to pay it back, but you have to come and drink with me and chat with me every day while I'm in prison!"

Su Dingfang let out a huff, and said: "You are so generous, drinking and chatting with you is exactly what I want!" He reached out and took the beautiful jade, put it in his arms, sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and ate the vegetables.

Wang Pingan said: "It's cool enough, I hate those things that are pushed around, the dishes are cold, it's not too late to eat new dishes."

But Su Dingfang said: "I am impatient to wait."

Wang Pingan sat down, looked at Su Dingfang who was eating and drinking, and asked in puzzlement: "Brother Su is a great general, why are you locked up here?"

Su Dingfang raised his head, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said, "Then you are still from Zhongshushe, why are you locked up here?"

Wang Ping'an shrugged and said, "Because I rang the Jingyang bell, I was locked up here!"

Su Dingfang was taken aback, stared at Wang Ping'an, and said, "You were the one who rang the Jingyang bell last night? I heard it all from here!"

After a pause, he said again: "I'm not as guilty as you... Well, I'm not guilty at all, it's just that I was implicated!"

Wang Pingan tilted his head to look at him, and said, "Who was implicated?"

Su Dingfang sighed, and said: "Who else can it be, General Li, it happened almost 20 years ago!"

"Li Ji?" Wang Pingan frowned.

Su Dingfang said: "Li Jing." Picking up the jug, he poured wine directly into his mouth.
