Chapter 72 Three No Gangs
As the morning rooster crows, Chen Ji breaks away from the battlefield in his dream. He slowly gets up and limps to the main hall of the medical center, where he sits on a bamboo chair and waits for the arrival of the wedding cake.
Liang Maoer put on a gray cloth and got up early to go out to fetch water.
Chen Ji wanted to help sweep the floor, but he pinned him down on the bamboo chair: "You have to recover from your injury for a month, so don't move around. I can do all the work in the hospital alone."
Chen Ji said curiously: "Actually, you can also see that everyone does not object to you living here, so Brother Mao'er, you don't have to rush to finish all the work."
Liang Maoer whispered: "It doesn't matter how much work I do, as long as you don't blame my brother for not helping yesterday, he has his own reasons."
"Why did he decide that he would not be a gang member?" Chen Ji asked doubtfully, "Did he often deal with the Supervisor of Ceremonies before?"
Liang Maoer carried a pole and stood in silence for a long time in the main hall. Finally, she said: "Actually, I lied before. My sister-in-law did not completely lose contact with her after she left."
"Where did she go?"
Liang Maoer lowered her head: "My sister-in-law was discovered by the Secret Service when she left Ningchao. Tianma intercepted her in the border town. She was no match for Tianma and was arrested on the spot. At that time, the Internal Affairs Minister sent someone
He went to my brother and said that he could send my sister-in-law back to Luo City instead of being sent to the inner prison, but the condition is that my brother will not be an enemy of the Supervisor of Ceremonies in the future, and in addition, he also needs to do three things for the Supervisor of Ceremonies."
"Then why didn't your sister-in-law come back?" Chen Ji suddenly realized that the Chief of Ceremony must have suspected the identity of the female swordsman for a long time, and had been waiting for her to escape, and then use her to take advantage of Liang Gouer.
Liang Maoer smiled and said: "My brother agreed to the conditions of the Internal Affairs Minister, but he did not ask the Chief of Ceremonies to send my sister-in-law back. Instead, he chose to ask the Chief of Ceremonies to let her go."
Chen Ji was silent for a moment, but he didn't expect this answer: "That girl Yan'er from Hongyi Lane... looks a lot like your sister-in-law, right?"
"Well," Liang Maoer said with an honest smile and went out: "I'm going to fetch water, and I have to cook later."
Just as he was going out, he saw the wedding cake girl hurriedly carrying her skirt on the bluestone road of Anxi Street, and happened to pass Liang Mao'er at the threshold.
Chen Ji smiled and stood up to greet her: "Why did the wedding cake girl come to the hospital so early?"
When the wedding cake girl saw him, she hurriedly said: "Chen Ji, I was just looking for you. Bai Prajna was injured by some bad guy again, and my wife asked you to go and treat it... I don't know who was so vicious that he said to Bai Prajna
Prajna killed you twice! How wicked!"
Chen Ji lowered his head slightly ashamed: "Miss Wedding Cake, I can't go to the palace to treat it. I was stabbed by a gangster a few days ago, and the injury on my leg is still not healed."
If the principle of information transmission is followed, Chen Ji should communicate important information with Yun Fei in person to avoid errors in information transmission.
But there are people from the Golden Pig on the second floor across the street who are watching. If he goes to the palace with a limp leg, the Golden Pig will definitely become suspicious.
Chen Ji stood by the mahogany counter, picked up his writing brush and said, "I'll write you a prescription. I'll grab the medicine for you to take back later and give it to Bai Prajna for external application."
The wedding cake hesitated for a moment: "Okay."
Chen Ji weighed the medicinal materials, wrapped them in butter paper, and tied them with hemp rope. After tying them, he stuffed the prescription into the gap of the hemp rope: "Go back and apply it externally twice a day. Bai Prajna will be fine."
Wedding Cake took the medicine package from his hand and returned to Feiyun Garden.
Outside the building of Feiyun Garden, Concubine Yun's gentle voice came from the room: "Bai Li, Mr. Wang said that you have been dozing off in class recently. It won't work if you continue like this. Your father will definitely tell you something when he comes back."
.”
Bai Li muttered: "Mr. Wang is a great scholar, how can he speak ill of people behind their backs!"
Concubine Yun pretended to be angry and slapped Bai Li's palm: "This is not speaking ill of you. I am responsible for you. Don't say that to Mr. Wang again in the future."
"knew……"
At this time, Wedding Cake walked a few steps quickly and came to the house: "Madam, Dr. Chen was injured and could not be invited, but he prescribed the medicine and took the medicine. Dr. Chen said that Bai Prajna was just a trauma, so apply some medicine.
That’s fine.”
"Wedding cake, please put the medicine bag here first. Go and explain to Xitang that the prince has sent a fast horse to send back the news. He has already collected the army rations and is preparing to return. Let Xitang lead the people to clean the prince's palace.
especially
Even the glazed roofs of Jing'an Hall and Mingzheng Hall must be wiped clean." After Concubine Yun said this, she turned to Bai Li and said, "Bai Li, go and review your homework. You must give me the copybook tonight, or I will cut you off."
The moon is silver...white carp?"
Bai Li came back to his senses, stood up, took the medicine bag from the wedding cake, took out the prescription on it, and read it carefully over and over again, but found no clues except some typos.
But according to common sense, the medicine package should be given directly to the servant. Why did his mother let the wedding cake leave the medicine package in the mansion and then find an excuse to send the wedding cake away?
There must be something wrong here.
At this moment, Bai Li had countless doubts in her mind. She suddenly remembered: when she just came back from Donglin Academy, she also saw the traces in Feiyun Garden, but she didn't pay much attention at that time.
Now, she knew that there was something wrong with Chen Ji's identity, and when she recalled that Chen Ji had visited him for consultation, she felt that there was even more confusion about Chen Ji.
Outsiders may not understand the situation, but she is familiar with everyone in the medical clinic, so she naturally knows that the three apprentices are not qualified to treat patients.
Why is a person being traced by the Secret Service connected with Feiyun Yuan?
At this time, Concubine Yun casually took the prescription from Princess Bai Li: "What's wrong, Bai Li, are you suddenly so interested in the prescription?"
Bai Li shook his head: "It's okay, let's see what medicine the Imperial Medical Clinic prescribes for Bai Prajna."
…
…
Outside the Taiping Medical Center, an oxcart slowly stopped. Shopkeeper Yuan jumped off the cart, walked into the medical center with a smile and bowed his hands: "Physician Yao, it's time to replenish medicinal materials again. I'm here to deliver the goods to you.
.”
Old Yao raised his head and glanced at him: "Look at the quality."
He slowly came to the bullock cart, untied a sack on the cart, reached out and took out a handful of Luo Han Guo from the bottom of the sack, holding it in the palm of his hand and looking at it.
Old Man Yao glanced at Shopkeeper Yuan and threw the Luo Han Guo back into the bag: "It's in good condition. It seems that you have been careful when collecting the medicinal materials."
Shopkeeper Yuan smiled and said: "Whenever there is a problem with our Bailu Pavilion's goods, they must always be the best. Take a look and see what medicinal materials you plan to prepare?"
Old Man Yao took out a list from his sleeve: "According to the list, plus ten old wild ginseng. Remember, I don't want any that are less than fifty years old."
Chen Ji was stunned for a moment in the medical clinic. Why did the master want ten ginseng sticks in one breath?
But I heard the shopkeeper Yuan outside the door was in a dilemma: "Yao Yao, who would carry ten ginseng sticks around with him? There are none on the cart. They are just commonly used medicines."
Dr. Yao said slowly: "It doesn't matter, just send it before evening. You make a note of this and I will check the quality of other medicinal materials."
At this time, Liang Maoer strode back to the hospital with a pole on his shoulder.
Chen Ji saw at a glance that the chest of the other person's gray cloth was cut with a sharp weapon: "Brother Mao'er, what's wrong with your clothes?"
Hearing this, Liang Maoer looked down and became anxious: "It must have been the person who hit me just now. I'll go find him... These are She Dengke's clothes!"
Liang Gou'er and Liang Mao'er didn't bring a change of clothes when they came to the hospital, so he had to borrow She Dengke's clothes to make do.
Now that the clothes are torn, Liang Maoer is getting angry. How can he explain to She Dengke?
Old Man Yao had a sullen face and pulled Liang Maoer, who wanted to settle accounts with the thief: "He must be a habitual thief. He can't be found. You can carry water back to the yard first, and let Liu Quxing mend it later with needle and thread."
Liang Maoer was so anxious that she almost cried: "But you can still see it after the sewing. She Dengke only wears a change of clothes. His family is not rich..."
Old Man Yao sighed: "Don't be sad, he won't blame you."
Old Yao, who was always mean, could not be mean to Liang Mao'er.
While Old Man Yao was talking to Liang Maoer, shopkeeper Yuan walked back to the hospital with a smile. He stood beside Chen Ji and asked in a low voice: "The wedding cakes have just arrived. Have you confirmed the delivery time and location of the second batch?"
Chen Ji calmly replied: "Tonight, in Hongyi Lane and Jinfang, I still asked the old bustard to report Luo Tian. I shouldn't have traded twice in the same place, but my legs and feet are inconvenient now, so I can't communicate with the palace.
We met face to face, so we could only pass on the information via prescriptions and settle on the old place."
"It's the same place as usual," Shopkeeper Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and patted Chen Ji's shoulder: "Very good, very good! I will truthfully report this success to the boss and take credit for you."
Chen Ji was silent for a moment, then turned to stare at Shopkeeper Yuan: "Why are you still hurting people today?"
Shopkeeper Yuan laughed happily and said: "I don't know if you did as I told you. Besides, I want you to know that even if Liang Maoer and Liang Gouer are by your side, they can't be your support. So be careful.
Do your work for Military Intelligence and don’t have any other ideas."
"Understood."
Chen Ji watched with neither joy nor sadness as shopkeeper Yuan and his waiter left in an ox cart, then turned back to the backyard. Behind the ox cart, there were two small civet cats following.
In the yard, crows stood on the branches of almond trees, watching Chen Ji lying on the bamboo chair, becoming more and more calm.
Chen Ji slowly closed his eyes and returned to the battlefield in his dream. There were still many things to do today.
