the streets

"Paradise?" Du Jing's face turned pale.

"That's right! Parade the street!" Zuo Shaoyang said coldly: "Tell the truth of both things about you, including the fact that you framed me to embezzle the imperial money, and the fact that you framed me to deceive me to use medicine to force Du Ruhui to death. Tell the truth of both things about the people of the city to clear my grievances. Then you go to the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple to tell the truth about both things. Finally, you write down the truth of the matter yourself and present it to the emperor!"

Du Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Just do what Grandpa Zuo said!"

"Okay, you can do it now!"

"But, when will you treat me?"

"You?" Zuo Shaoyang sneered: "Don't expect that you framed me and went to death. Do you still want to live alone? Don't daydream! If you really regret it, parade all over the streets and tell me everything about how you framed me. I can cure your family. As for you, it can't be solved by parading!"

Du Jing, Du's mother and others were shocked, and everyone's faces changed color.

Du's mother stuttered: "You mean, we..., we are also infected with the disease of corpse injection?"

"Yes!" Zuo Shaoyang pointed to Du's mother, two young men and three children, and said, "You guys are probably already infected with the corpse. Since they kowtowed and begged me just now, when you have completed the agreement just now, I will send them to me and I can treat them."

Du Jing and others were shocked and looked at each other, unable to speak for a moment. Du's mother was anxious and coughed even more: "Young Master Zuo said, cough cough..., but, cough cough..., really? cough cough..."

"The old man asked what he said? Is it true that you have a terminal illness in the body? Or is it true that I treat you?"

"Well..., both sentences are, cough cough cough..."

"In the previous sentence, I just initially doubted the superficial situation and needed further diagnosis and examination to confirm. By the way, other people don't know if they are sick. If necessary, it's best to have a diagnosis and examination together."

Du's mother trembled and kowtowed on the ground: "Thank you, thank you, young master." The others also kowtowed.

"No need, get up!"

Du Jing sat on the ground weakly, and after a while, he bowed and said, "What about me? How do you save my life?"

“I would never consider this until I was still in a dead cell.”

Du Jing's eyes rolled a few times and said, "Okay! You can help my family treat their illness first! Let's talk about our affairs later."

"But remember when the parade, let every street produce proof to prove that you did say these words on the street, otherwise how would I know if I was in prison?"

Du Jing was stunned: "This..., hundreds of miles across the capital, do you have to look for it one by one?"

"Of course! Everyone in the city knows that you slander my reputation, so naturally you have to find everything. No one is missing! You have to testify by yourself!"

Du Jing thought for a while, bit his teeth and said, "Okay! I agree."

"Also, the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple wants to publish a book that proves that you have received your new confession. You need to prove the content of the confession and stamp it with a large seal!"

"Okay! I will do it."

"Okay, you guys go!"

Du Jing then got up, repeatedly thanked him, and slowly walked out with his mother and relatives.

That night, it snowed heavily, covering the sky and the whole world was covered with silver. There were enough cotton jackets sewn by Bai Zhihan in Zuoyang, and there were several large pots of charcoal fire in the room, which made him almost unable to feel the severe cold of winter.

The next day it cleared up. Du Jing and Liu Zhenghui did not come, but a girl came to visit the snow. This girl was no one else, but she was Yu Yanyan, the granddaughter of Doctor Yu, who almost became Zuo Shaoyang's wife.

Yu Yanyanying fell in the snow under the wall, and Zuo Shaoyang was still lying on the wall and talking to her. Although she was a woman, she did not have symptoms such as coughing. After all, she was a high-risk group and she must be careful.

Yu Yanyan burst into tears before she could speak, turning the snow in front of her kneeling into honeycomb clothes.

She sobbed and said, "Mr. Zuo, I'll beg you to save my grandfather and my dad."

"What's wrong with them? Are they sick and got a corpse?"

"yes……"

"I warned them that they deserve it if they don't listen!"

Yu Yanyan cried and said, "Grandpa and dad regretted it very much and have always blamed themselves deeply. They were seriously ill in bed and could not come in close contact, so they asked the concubine to come and ask the young master to save them!"

"You get up first!"

"No, if Mr. Zuo doesn't agree, I won't get up!"

"Hey! If you use this method to force me to agree to treat the disease, you will be wrong. I am very hard-hearted now. If you want this, I will go down. Let you kneel here and kneel to death. I will not pay attention to you. Anyway, you are not my person, and you have regretted that your marriage has damaged my reputation. Why can't I bear to bear to kneel to death? - Get up quickly!"

Yu Yanyan thought about it, kowtowed a few times, then stood up, lowered her head and wiped her tears constantly. She sobbed and said, "Yes, we did something wrong before. In fact, I like the young master very much. The young master should know..." As she said that, two red clouds flew up on her pretty face full of tears.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "That's right, we had a very good deal at that time, so we decided to make a marriage contract. Who told you to regret the marriage?"

"I believe the young master knows the reason for the marriage regret, we..., that's a last resort..."

"It's indeed a last resort. I agree, and I understand now. So, I won't pursue your regrets in marriage now."

"Thank you, young master." Yu Yanyan gave a blessing. "Since the young master forgives grandpa's fault, has the young master agreed to treat them?"

"Don't agree!"

"Ah?" Yu Yanyan's flower branches trembled, and her pretty face looked at him, "Why?"

"Because your grandfather and your father, Liu Zhenghui and Du Jing, got me in the death row! They want to kill me? I will save them. Do you think there is something wrong with my head?"

Yu Yanyan said sadly: "This matter really doesn't matter to my grandfather and daddy. Really, I swear!"

"Girl, you are so kind, and this is one of the advantages I took my eye on you at that time. You won't know the bad things they did, and they will not be able to tell you on their own initiative! They are asking you to come now, just to use your kindness to move me so that they can achieve their goals."

Yu Yanyan kept shook her head and cried, "My grandfather is a good person. He cured many people's illnesses and saved many lives. So did my father. I saw all these. They are good people!"

"I fully admit this. They are doctors, and they are talented in treating diseases and saving lives. Of course, they have treated many people and saved many lives. But this cannot resist his frame-up on me!"

Yu Yanyan wiped her tears, Hongchun sprayed white air in the cold winter, blinked her wet eyelashes, and said, "Young Master keeps saying that my grandfather and dad have framed the young master, is there any evidence?"

"Evidence?" Zuo Shaoyang was stunned, "You Yu's clinic purchased a large amount of medicine from our barefoot clinic at a low price. This is the evidence! I saw it with my own eyes!"

"But if we don't buy it, others will buy it too. We just purchased low-priced medicinal materials. If it is inappropriate, we will return it all to your clinic. This is not a question of framing the young master? Moreover, it is said that the young master was imprisoned because he used the seborrhea as medicine for Prime Minister Du. Prime Minister Du couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide, which had nothing to do with the matter of purchasing medicine. How could he talk about framing the young master?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter now," Zuo Shaoyang said coldly, "But that's because my senior brother Sun Simiao explained the truth to the emperor. The emperor believed my senior brother's explanation and put it aside, there was no investigation. It was someone who revealed the truth that your grandfather and his conspiracy failed! It was not that they did not frame it!"

Yu Yanyan was stunned: "I don't understand what the young master means."

"Of course you don't understand, because they won't tell you the truth, let me tell you! - When the emperor ordered me to arrest me, one of the crimes was to embezzle the imperial money. Why? Just because the emperor donated a lot of money to the foundation's barefoot clinic, Du Jing and his friends colluded with your grandfather and your father to sell the medicine from the barefoot clinic to your father's clinic at a low price. You took the price difference, they falsely reported the medicine, embezzled the price difference, and sent a large part of it to my house. I was not in the capital at the time and knew nothing about this. When I returned to the capital, they reported me and said that all this was my instruction!"

Yu Yanyan nodded slowly, thought for a while, and said, "But how did the young master know that my grandfather and the others were conspiring with Du Jing?"

"It was just a suspicion, but yesterday it was confirmed! Yesterday Du Jing had confessed the truth truthfully. He confessed to conspiring with your grandfather and father and framed me for embezzling the imperial money!"

Yu Yanyan was speechless, lowered her head, and for a moment, slowly knelt on the snow.

Zuo Shaoyang rubbed his hands and frowned: "Why are you doing this again?"

Yu Yanyan kowtowed and said, "I know my grandfather and dad are wrong, but they are my concubine's relatives after all, so I can't watch them die of illness. Therefore, I beg my son to save them. If they can save the lives of the two elders, my grandfather and dad have already told me to let the concubine... marry into the prince's house and serve the prince for the rest of their lives!"

"It's okay! When you wanted to marry you, your family didn't do it, and they refused to make a fuss in the yamen. Now I'm asking for a visit to pay, but I don't want it anymore. This is called this village, and there will be no store!"

Yu Yanyan blushed and said, "Then, I will be your maid..."

"We have enough maids!"

"Young Master, please save them, let me do whatever I want!"

"Okay!" Zuo Shaoyang smiled, "Since you are so sincere, you can go back and tell your grandpa and your father. I will not let him parade the streets. I just wrote a notice and posted a few pictures at each intersection. Then I asked them to go to the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple to explain the truth and restore my innocence. I will write a letter to the emperor to apologize! I have done these things, which means that I have sincerely regretted it, and I will treat them!"

Yu Yanyan said: "Since the emperor no longer pursues the embezzlement of the imperial bank, there is no need to do this, right? We can compensate the young master, as much as possible..."

"Don't think that money can be settled!" Zuo Shaoyang sneered, "Although the emperor will not pursue this matter, my reputation still exists. The people thought I was a corrupt official, and the emperor also thought so. He did not pursue it just because he gave my senior brother the face. If he did not clear me of the blame, how would I face the people?"

"I heard that when Mr. Liu Zhenghui arrested the young master that day, many people knelt down on the street and begged, saying that the young master was a good person, which means that the people did not think that the young master was a corrupt official."

"However, the people think it is the people's business. If they damage my reputation, they must restore my reputation within the scope of damage. This is necessary! Apart from this, everything is free of negotiation!"

Yu Yanyan thought about it, kowtowed from the snow, and got up: "Okay, I'll tell my grandfather and dad that they should do it."

"To survive, this is the only way, - by the way, there is another thing that must be done, which is to return all the medical difference in the barefoot clinic you Yu's clinic earned to our barefoot clinic! Isn't that too much?"

"This is what it should be." Yu Yanyan gave a gift, "I'm saying goodbye. Take care of my son."

Looking at Yu Yanyan's slender figure moving away, Zuo Shaoyang slowly got down the ladder.

The next day, the snow began to melt, the ground became mottled, with residual snow on the east and west, and the hard frozen ice on the corner of the wall behind. At this time, Liu Zhenghui came.

After hearing Zhuang Laozhuo's report, Zuo Shaoyang climbed up the wall and looked down. In just two days, Liu Zhenghui had grown a lot older, his gray hair seemed to be completely white. He was thinner than before. His cough was even more intense. The blood in the phlegm in the handkerchief turned bright red, which was reflected in the flushing on his cheeks.

The cold winter made Liu Zhenghui cough even more violently. While coughing violently, he said in a hoarse voice: "Young Master Zuo, I have done what you said before!"

"What I said before?" Zuo Shaoyang didn't recall it for a moment, "What's the matter?"

"Let my husband's family march in shackles all over the street!"

Zuo Shaoyang smiled slightly: "Take it serious?"

"Of course it's taken seriously!"

"What is the proof?"

"I have already picked five people from several streets and called them, and the rest of the streets have been eliminated. The young master can ask them!"

"Is that so? Where?"

"If the young master wants to see you, I will ask the head Zhuang to go outside and call them in."

"Of course I have to see you!" Zuo Shaoyang said, "But don't worry, I'll ask you another thing. Yesterday, Du Jing came to ask me to treat me, and he also contracted a terminal illness in the corpse. You must have heard of this. The price I offered him was to let him beat drums and drums on the street to spread the story of how he framed me to embezzle the imperial gift, framed me and force Du Ruhui to death, and wash away my innocence. He agreed. What I want to ask you is, did he go on the street to march today?"

Liu Zhenghui replied without thinking: "I've been wandering, we've met him. He hung a gong around his neck and kept beating, saying both things, and many people heard it."

"When did you see him?"
