Chapter 78
The old man said, "That's right. That night, my stomach hurts. My wife and son accompanied me to the pharmacy shop to see the doctor. After prescribing the medicine, when I passed by, my son said that something seemed to be humming in the corner of the house, which scared us. My son went over and said that he was lying on the ground, as if he was a woman. So my wife went to support her and asked her what was wrong? The woman didn't speak, but she just felt very painful because she was carrying a lantern.
, I recognized her as the crazy woman begging on the streets in front of me. This woman is crazy and can't speak but can only smile foolishly. I have given her food, so I recognized her. We found that her leg was broken and she kept bleeding. My wife said she should take her to the clinic to take a look. I said who will pay to send her to the clinic? We don't have that much money to help her heal her, and the clinic will not pay for her treatment. She is a beggar and she has no money. She should just send her to the Beth Field Care House."
"You sent this female beggar to Bethanfang?"
The old man nodded and said with a wry smile: "We have nothing to do, our family is not good, but we can't afford the medicine."
Lu Jinping came to the Tang Dynasty for half a year and is now a doctor in a yamen and clinic. He still has some understanding of the medical system of the court. He knows that there is a system called the Betian Care House. It is a charity organization, equivalent to the current rescue station for homeless beggars and widowed people. It is an institution set up by the court in various prefectures and counties to treat sick beggars and widowed elderly people. It is mainly set up in some temples, and some kind and rich people set up porridge shops. The court felt it was safe and reliable, so he handed over the Betian shop to such people. The court would allocate a certain amount of money specifically for the treatment of these people's illness and injuries. They only care about the diet during the treatment and treatment period, and after the treatment is cured, they will leave. Of course, the rescued people come and go freely and can leave on their own.
At that time, after Lu Jinping learned about the Tang Dynasty's system, he still sighed. He did not expect that the social welfare protection of the Tang Dynasty had been quite developed, and it had even extended to the assistance of homeless beggars.
Lu Jinping asked the old man again, "What's next?"
The old man said, "I also think it's more appropriate to send it to the Beginning Care House for treatment, so I asked my son to carry the beggar and the three of us sent it to the Beginning Care House in the east of the city. After knocking on the door, they registered and put it on the small bed, and then we came back, that's it."
Lu Jinping exclaimed: "You can have this compassionate heart, help the poor and the needy, and see the beggar being injured, and take the initiative to send her to the hospital for treatment. It can be seen that you are all kind-hearted people. I would like to thank you for the injured."
The old man was a little sad and nodded and said he was rude. He asked carefully: "I just heard from the captain that the female beggar was dead, right? I don't think so. When I found out, my leg was injured. Moreover, when we carried her away, she was still humming and not dead. And her legs were broken. Generally, people would not die. How could this happen?"
Lu Jinping said: "This is also something we need to verify."
After seeing off the kind old couple and their children, Lu Jinping immediately ordered to go to the Beitian Rehabilitation House in the east of the city.
The founder of the Beitian Health Care Workshop in Tongzhou was named Huang. He was a rich man. His family was very rich and he was called Huang Daliangren.
The great charity opened the Beitianfang in Dongcheng near the city gate. Their group came to the gate of Beitianfang. Lu Jinping had never been here before. When he looked up, he saw that the storefront was not big. The gate of the courtyard was a door hole of the south wing room of the courtyard. There were two rooms on both sides, with windows open. There were a few people in the small room talking lazily.
Lu Jinping was about to walk in when he saw Yunzi and his brother following behind him, saying, "You can go back."
Yunzi said: "Can we go and see you investigate the case? Because this case involves my brother and the marriage between our Tubo and the Tang Dynasty. It is of great importance, and I cannot ignore it."
Lu Jinping laughed: "Sorry, investigating the case is the business of our Tang Dynasty yamen. After the investigation and punishment, I will inform you of the situation. Now it is not convenient for you to participate. It is better to go back. By the way, your brother is suspected of murder and his identity is special. I do not have the right to arrest him directly. I need to report it before making a decision. However, he cannot leave Tongzhou and can only stay at home and wait for the next news."
Yunzi wanted to say something else. Lu Jinping had turned around and walked in. The two constables stopped Yunzi and the others and stared at him. Yunzi had no choice but to glar fiercely at his brother again and got back.
Lu Jinping stepped in, and the few people in the wing room continued to chat, as if he turned a blind eye. Lu Jinping covered his mouth with his hands and coughed heavily. Then the people stopped and said with some impatientness: "What are you doing?"
As soon as they said this, they saw the captain bear who was following him, immediately stood up, smiled, nodded and said, "Captain bear is coming, what wind has blown you here?"
Captain Xiong said coldly: "Do you know who you were talking to just now? This is the new Tongzhou doctor, Lu Jinping, and Lord Lu."
When the people heard this, they were frightened and quickly bowed and bowed: "I don't know that the Lord is here, so I'll ask Lord to forgive me, and Lord will forgive me."
Captain Xiong explained from the side: "They are from the yamen and clinic, and are specifically responsible for the registration affairs of Beth Tianfang."
After listening to Captain Xiong's explanation, Lu Jinping learned that the court allocated funds from the Beitianfang, and then assigned a special person to be responsible for the registration, to determine how many people were admitted and the accounts were kept equal. These people were responsible for registering the situation of the elderly and widowed people who came to Beitianfang to treat, so as to apply to the yamen to allocate funds and mobilize medicinal materials for treatment. The specific treatment was managed by some servants recruited by Huang Dashanren.
Although Lu Jinping is a doctor of medicine, he is mainly responsible for the medicinal materials warehouse, so he does not directly manage other people in the clinic, especially those in Beitianfang. Therefore, he only knows that there is such an institution, and he does not know who there are. These clerks usually work in the nursing home and do not go to the yamen, so of course they don’t know him.
Lu Jinping said: "Give your registration book to me."
The two clerks quickly got a registration book that looked a little dirty, held it in both hands and carefully delivered it to Lu Jinping.
Lu Jinping did not answer and said, "Did you have a female beggar who had a broken leg three days ago? She is about thirty years old."
The three clerks looked at each other, and one of the old clerks seemed to be the head among them, so they hurriedly opened the registration book to search.
Lu Jinping frowned and said, "You can't remember it in just three days? Are there many widowed elderly people and homeless people who treat you every day?"
The old clerk was a little frightened and said hurriedly: "There are quite a lot, Lord. But some people come to find stuttering simply because they don't have food. Our rule is that only sick or injured elderly and widowed people and homeless beggars can be treated. After they are cured, they can leave. During the treatment period, they can be provided with food and drink, but basically they are very simple food, such as cooked cakes. If they are not sick or injured, then we don't care. But those who make people very troublesome, often get some illness and ask for treatment, so there are many people coming every day..."
Lu Jinping nodded and said, "I understand, then you can check it quickly. I didn't expect that my Tang Dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years, and the world's granary is rich, and there are so many homeless elderly people and children begging."
The old clerk laughed and said, "Yes, even if there is food everywhere in the world, there is no way for people to avoid natural disasters and man-made disasters. There is no way for them to wander around and beg for money. It is also the helplessness of our Tang Dynasty. We still need to help these people, and we can't watch them die on the streets."
As he spoke, the old clerk had found it. After reading it, he said, "Yes, there is such a person. He was delivered at night at least after the first day. He was sent by an elderly couple and their children on their backs. He said he was found in the back corner of the house in the alley. The one who was sent was a dementia female beggar who could not speak and could not understand what others said. He was about thirty years old and had a fractured right leg. The reason was unclear. The bones were exposed and bleeding had been carried out. He had been sent to the Beitianfang for treatment. The person should be inside."
