Chapter 42 The Posthouse

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Speaking of practicing medicine, Li Ang subconsciously touched the medicine box next to his seat. The box contained surgical tools such as scalpels, hemostatic forceps, and midwifery forceps that he asked Cheng Juxiu to help make.

It is a pity that the Nightmare Bell was returned to the Fusi of Zhenzhou Town after the White Dog Case was concluded. Otherwise, with the bell that can put people into stasis and coma, Li Ang would be much more confident in performing real surgical operations.

‘However, Chang’an City is so big, and it is also the location of the Academy and the headquarters of the Zhenfu Division, so there should be many types of alienated objects.

Maybe there is a metabolite that can solve disinfection, hemostasis, and anesthesia all at once.

As long as these three basic prerequisites for surgery can be solved, there is no need to limit yourself to bone-setting massage...'

Li Ang looked at the medicine box in awe, and Chai Cuiqiao thought for a moment and said, "By the way, I didn't see Yu Miaoshui today. I thought he would come out to plead guilty and beg your forgiveness on the last day."

"normal."

Li Ang said nonchalantly: "Since the news that I got the recommendation letter spread, he has no way out.

Anyway, he has already been betrayed and offended to death. He will not be forgiven even if he pleads guilty, so he might as well wait for news at home.

Wait until I get into the exam, or maybe I don’t get into the academy.”

Li Ang believed that he was not a magnanimous saint. Since Yu Miaoshui wanted to take advantage of the new funeral of the Li family to seize the Li family's property and wipe out the family, and also instructed the local ruffians to go to the security hall to find trouble, then he should pay the corresponding price.

Presumably the other party is also mentally prepared.

Thinking of this, Li Ang couldn't help but smile.

I heard that after the news of getting the recommendation letter from Li Ang spread, Qing'an Hall closed down and Yu Miaoshui stayed at home all day long, and no one saw him.

This period of time must be very difficult for him, right?

Then wait for another three months.

Li Ang smiled and patted the medicine box. When leaving Zhenzhou, he did not hand over the security hall he had worked so hard to redeem to Aunt Song or ask anyone to take care of it.

First, he was afraid that the quack doctors invited would misdiagnose and ruin the reputation of the security hall.

The second is that he is worried that there may be something abnormal in the Bao'an Tang well - after he masters the spell, he will have to return to Bao'an Tang to conduct a thorough investigation.

The two masters and servants chatted casually. The carriage in the academy was traveling very fast, and the sound insulation and shock absorption effect was excellent.

In addition, we are taking the Yuguoguan Road, which has a flat and straight road surface with no trees within ten steps on both sides of the road (to prevent forests from encroaching on the road surface and to guard against wild beasts).

Even if you lie down on the spacious seat and sleep, you will not be woken up by the shock.

It was getting late outside the window, and the Xuegong convoy carrying students from Zhenzhou stopped at the Guanyi Station on the side of the official road.

Guanyi is an official hotel set up on a post station. The State of Yu stipulated that a post should be located within twenty miles of a prosperous state capital and a post of one hundred miles of a remote state capital.

The main function of the Guanyi is to transmit military intelligence and political orders. Envoys can use the "passing talisman" to stay, eat, and transfer horses in the Guanyi. When officials go to their posts, they can also stay in the Guanyi.

This Shiguan Post learned in advance that the Academy’s convoy would stop here. The staff at the post station had already been waiting on the roadside. They stepped forward to greet them with smiles on their faces. They knocked on the outer wall of each carriage and welcomed the students off.

.

"Wow."

Li Ang and Chai Cuiqiao stood at the door of Shiguan Post Station, somewhat shocked by the scale of the post station.

Although there is no village in front and no store in the back, it is built on the mountain with post buildings, post stables, post halls, wine warehouses, tea warehouses, vegetable warehouses, as well as boats along the river, bamboo forests, and gardens.

It can accommodate hundreds of people, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a summer resort for wealthy businessmen.

"Yu State is really rich."

Li Ang and Chai Cuiqiao stood under the archway of the post station, and they both sighed like country bumpkin,

"Ah."

A girl's kind chuckle came from not far away. Li Ang and Chai Cuiqiao turned their heads and saw a girl about his age stepping out of the carriage with the help of a maid.

"The former Yu State Post House was not so spacious. A post house had to receive hundreds of envoys and officials a year. They would stay here for one night, have a full meal and leave the next day. They would not cherish the facilities in the post house.

.

He tied the horse casually in the courtyard, brought the falcon into the hall, and secretly caught fish from the pond and roasted them.

Defiling the house and ruining the utensils.

For those with small official positions, the post house can still be used to suppress them.

Even if a person with a high official position imposes excessive taxes and harasses him wantonly, the post office has no choice but to cope with it.

In recent decades, the state of Yu has reorganized the post system and strictly investigated and dealt with the abuse of talismans, so things have become much better."

The girl has broad knowledge, natural demeanor, elegant conversation, and gentle tone. She attracted the attention of everyone present as soon as she opened her mouth.

The person in charge of the post house, a middle-aged female official, came to greet her. She blushed and said with emotion: "What the young lady said is that the post house was too hard in the past.

The fact that it can be maintained now is all thanks to the benevolent government of the Holy Queen."

The Holy Queen is the empress surnamed Wu a hundred years ago.

"Yes, the Holy Queen is a role model for women in the Yu Kingdom and even the world."

The girl smiled gently at the female officer, turned to Li Ang and saluted from a distance, "Ji Linglang."

"Leon."

Li Ang returned the gift with his hand, feeling a little curious in his heart.

His surname is Ji, so he must be the daughter of the largest yamen in Zhenzhou, the prefect Ji Chi.

I heard Cheng Juxiu mentioned before that Ji Linglang, as a recommended student who also received a letter of recommendation, has eleven spiritual veins and has reached an excellent level, and has a high probability of being admitted to the academy.

Outstanding talent, outstanding appearance, well-off family, well-educated,

No wonder as soon as she came out, the faces of the students from Zhenzhou who got off the bus showed eager expressions - especially Zhai Yiming, who ranked first in this year's state academic exam.

Cheng Juxiu took out the copper talisman, paper voucher and the academy jade pendant from his arms, and handed them one by one to the female officer of the post house for verification.

After the identity verification was completed, the servants in the posthouse unloaded the luggage from the car, took it to their respective rooms, and then led the horses to the stables.

The horses used in the academy's fleet, like the fine dogs used by the Zhenfu Division, are both specially bred breeds.

Each horse is tall and strong, with both endurance and speed. It eats finely blended forage, and sometimes special medicines are added to the feed.

Only medium and large-sized inns like Shiguanyi can provide it.

The staff of the post house led everyone from Zhenzhou to the guest room. Ji Linglang walked in the middle of the team, talking and laughing with another female classmate from Zhenzhou who went to the academy to take the entrance exam.

Zhai Yiming and several other students from Zhenzhou on the side deliberately stepped forward to please and flatter them, but they were all turned back lukewarmly.

"Wow, the daughter of the prefect's family is different,"

Chai Cuiqiao whispered into Li Ang's ear: "I thought he would be more arrogant and domineering."

"Um."

Li Ang nodded casually, without any disturbance in his heart.

Every one of the tens of thousands of students taking the entrance exam for the Academy today is the best young elite in the local area.

When they arrived in Chang'an, there were even more royal clansmen, and the descendants of high-ranking officials wanted to compete with them.

The governor's daughter is fine.
