"Yes...yes yes...I must be a lower official..."
Yang Zhengwei stammered, not to mention his daughter, even his hands were sweaty at the moment.
But before he could finish his sentence, Tang Zhou spoke again, "Where are the two people who sent me here now?"
"Those two..." Yang Zhengwei rolled his eyes and recalled: "The person who sent Uncle Guo was just one person. It seemed... It seemed like a clerk from a drug store. The person below has records, so I will send someone to look at it... "
"Dude?" Tang Zhou frowned.
"Yes, yes, it's the guy from the drug store. He posted the notice offering a reward of ten thousand taels of gold and sent you to the gate of the government office."
Tang Zhou's expression changed when he heard this.
Probably, he already understood what was going on.
"The guy who sent me here was not a guy from a drug store."
Tang Zhou suddenly stood up and approached Yang Zhengwei step by step. The closer he got, the lower Yang Zhengwei's head dropped until his whole head hit the ground. His neck shrank and his body trembled. As Yang Xinyue said, it was scary. Scared to death.
"Not only is Magistrate Yang incompetent in teaching his daughter, he is also not very good at being an official."
His light words frightened Yang Zhengwei so much that he almost left his body.
"Guoguo, Guojiu, Guojiu, please speak clearly. I am a low-ranking official who is stupid and dull. I don't know..."
"Ten thousand taels of gold!" Tang Zhou's target was not Yang Zhengwei. Instead, he passed by Yang Zhengwei and stopped when he raised his hand to touch the door. "Has Magistrate Yang carefully checked and verified the pharmacy clerk?" To test the authenticity? Or is it that you don’t have to pay for the gold left and right, so you don’t bother to care whether it is true or false? I heard that you just came back from judging a case in court. I don’t know how the case was settled. You may be able to tell whether it is true or false, right or wrong. wrong?"
"Xia...xiaoguan..."
Yang Zhengwei knelt and turned around, feeling that his body was weak.
"I know my mistake, I hope my uncle..."
"The people who sent me were two other villagers, not the drugstore clerks. If something happens to those two villagers, you don't have to wear the prefect's official uniform anymore."
"country……"
"Get the car ready and go to the drug store!"
Tang Zhou gave an order and opened the door, and the guard at the door immediately responded with a yes.
These guards were all from Yuejing City, and they were all Tang Zhou's own people. They went to do things immediately after receiving the order. However, Yang Zhengwei did not listen and knelt on the ground tremblingly. Perhaps he was not too frightened to react. When Zhou said he was going to the 'drug store', he was just asking him to lead the way. After all, he said that the clerk at the drug store had taken notes, so he must have left his address.
"Master Magistrate, do you want me to help you up personally?"
Hearing what Tang Zhou said, Yang Zhengwei suddenly came back to his senses. He stood up tremblingly, but because of his weak legs, he stumbled forward and fell directly at Tang Zhou's feet.
Tang Zhou heard the movement, but didn't react much.
Yang Zhengwei didn't dare to cry out in pain, let alone delay. He quickly stood up and bent deeply beside Tang Zhou, "Uncle Guo, please be careful. One step ahead is the threshold. Be careful not to knock yourself."
While speaking, two more drops of sweat dripped from his forehead.
Tang Zhou didn't talk to him again, and just stepped out of the threshold.
*
The city gate.
Yu Shan and the village chief had their hands tied, and were being pushed out of the city by the drugstore clerk that day. Even though it was dark, it could still be seen that their faces were bruised and bruised, as if they had been beaten severely, and Their mouths were stuffed with rags, rendering them speechless.
The two tried hard to resist, but they had been hungry for several days and their bodies were covered with injuries, so they couldn't resist at all.
There was a man beside the drug store clerk, who looked like his father.
After leaving the city, the man pushed and pushed Yu Shan away from each other.
"I've told you that the young master left on his own after he woke up. If you don't believe it, you insist on making trouble. I've tried to persuade you with nice words for several days but you still don't listen. In this case, you can't blame us for being rude. . I will tell the soldiers guarding the city that you two are crazy and you are not allowed to enter the city again. Seeing how poor you are, no one will believe you. If you make trouble again, you may be beaten to death."
Yu Shan's eyes almost popped out of his head in anger, and he whined but couldn't say a word.
The village chief also looked sad, but there was nothing he could do.
"How dare you stare at me, you..."
The waiter raised his hand to make a gesture to hit someone, but unexpectedly, Yu Shan bent down and pushed forward with his head, knocking the waiter to the ground, and immediately rushed into the city.
Unfortunately, he was captured by the guy's father.
What greeted him was another severe beating while being pinned to the ground. The village chief beside him screamed anxiously, looking like he was about to cry.
Suddenly.
A flying knife came through the air, and the tip of the knife was like a nail inserted into the right arm of the drug store clerk who was beating Yu Shan.
Along with the screams of pain, there was also the sound of cars and horses approaching at high speed.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the city, but Tang Zhou did not get off. It was Magistrate Yang who was going. When he saw him running towards him, the medicine shop clerk who was about to die from pain actually had his eyes lit up, thinking that Magistrate Yang was going to give him something. A reward of ten thousand taels of gold.
However, what he got was a heavy kick.
The man was kicked to the ground, and the blade on his right hand was pressed a little deeper.
"You bastard, you dare to pretend to take credit from others, and you will die or die waiting to be imprisoned." Yang Zhengwei pointed at the pharmacy clerk and scolded him, then waved to his men to help Yu Shan up and take them to Tang Zhou's carriage.
Yu Shan and the village chief had the rags removed from their mouths, but they were still a little scared when they saw the battle.
When the curtain of the carriage was lifted and Tang Zhou was seen, Yu Shan and the others were shocked again. They were so shocked that they were stunned for a moment.
"Tang...Brother Tang?" Yu Shan took a step forward and looked at Tang Zhou carefully, "It's really you, it's really you, why are you here? That day you were taken into the inner room of the hospital by that guy For medical treatment, we waited outside for a long time. They only said that your injury was not finished yet, so they tricked us into eating. When we came back, they actually said that you left on your own after you woke up. We didn’t believe it, because you couldn’t even see your eyes. Where can you go by yourself? It's ridiculous that he doesn't know that you can't see. How could you not know if you were really awake, so..."
Tang Zhou frowned upon hearing this, and Yu Shan's tone was full of grievances.
There were many people around, all coming to watch the fun.
Just as he was about to speak, his ears suddenly twitched.
There seemed to be a special voice among the crowd.
It was the voice of a middle-aged woman with a strong voice.
"Thank you very much this time. I will accept the prescription. If the effect is good, I will thank you again someday. However, it is getting late today and I have to go back quickly. I will take you to the gate of the city. Please be slower on the way."
This voice...
Tang Zhou's heartbeat quickened, and his hand holding the car curtain was trembling faintly.
He remembered this voice.
It was the aunt who came to Zhuwu to force Suzulan to take her away to marry Liu Yuanwai.
He turned his head, trying to get his bearings.
But more and more people gathered around him, the noise became louder and louder, and Yu Shan was chattering in front of him again. At the same time, the familiar voice disappeared for a while. He was anxious and was about to get out of the carriage.
On the other side of the crowd, the owner of the familiar voice to Tang Zhou was none other than Mother Cui next to Shen Zhixi.
