Chapter 600: Hey, isn’t this Gao Qiu? He has entered the Imperial City Division?
"The winter solstice is coming, take it and have a good holiday."
In Sui'an Medical Center, An Daoquan handed the prepared red envelopes to the apprentices, clerks and shopkeepers of the medical center.
The former is a young apprentice who works as a medical assistant with them, while the latter is the manpower responsible for the pharmacy business.
The apprentices happily took it and were just happy. The shopkeeper of the medicine shop looked a little weird. After a brief exchange of eyes, he thanked An Daoquan again and again: "Thank you, Dr. An!" "Doctor An is really a living bodhisattva!"
An Daoquan smiled, looking at this medical clinic that was becoming more and more famous in the capital, and he was very satisfied when he thought that at first he could only wash gold seals for those idle men on the side of Xiaotianshui Lane.
Thinking about his family in Jiangning Mansion again, he really wanted to bring them over and reunite them as a family. Unfortunately, now that the capital is free from the worry-free cave, there is...
"Open the door! Open the door quickly!
"
Just as I was thinking about it, a rude shout suddenly came from outside, and the door banged.
The shopkeeper and the waiter changed their expressions and came closer and said: "Doctor An, listen to that voice, it's from the Imperial City Department again, why don't you open it!"
An Daoquan shook his head: "If you can't escape, I'll open the door."
In fact, the shopkeeper and the waiter knew that they couldn't escape. The purpose of saying this was that they were afraid that An Daoquan would let them come forward to deal with those ferocious hawks and dogs. When they saw this man taking the initiative, they immediately shrank back as if they had been granted amnesty.
On the other hand, although the apprentices were also afraid, they followed An Daoquan to the door. As soon as they opened the door bolt, several men rushed in and cursed: "Why are you so slow, let the grandfathers suffer outside?"
Is it freezing?”
Stung by the cold wind blowing in their faces and hearing the yelling, the apprentices turned pale and fell back. Only Andao stood tall and unhurried, sizing up the incoming man.
There were five people who came in. The behavior of four of them was that they used to be rogue idlers on the streets of Bianjing. They were covered with a layer of official skin, which could not hide their arrogant appearance. However, the one in the middle was a bit...
different.
Although he doesn't look like a decent citizen, he has pretty features, a straight back, and a green robe, which gives him a vague sense of dignity.
Just when An Daoquan was guessing who this green-robed official was, the rogue in front of him tilted his head and said, "Does Dr. An still recognize us?"
An Daoquan shook his head: "I have no impression."
The idle men sneered, and one of them said: "Doctor An is indeed a noble man and forgets things. We came to seek medical treatment a few months ago. We were very poor at the time. We wanted Dr. An to waive the cost of medicine, but Dr. An refused directly.
You just collected hundreds of coins, and now we are lucky enough to become the guards of the Imperial City Division, aren't we coming back to repay you?"
This is simply nonsense. The apprentice looked angry, but An Daoquan replied calmly: "Sui'an Medical Center will prescribe some cheap medicines to poor people, but unless there is a disaster, we will not provide free medical treatment."
"My brother once said that if you want something to last for a long time, stable profit income is the key. Good deeds that abandon profits will sooner or later deteriorate."
These scoundrels who had become the guards of the imperial city were furious when they heard this, and were about to take the opportunity to cause trouble. The green-robed official in the middle suddenly changed his expression after hearing this, and raised his hand to stop him: "May I ask the brother of Divine Doctor An, is he the Divine Doctor Lin?"
The scoundrel shut up angrily, An Daoquan nodded: "Not bad."
The green-robed official said: "I have heard of Lin Chong for a long time. Lin Erlang is not only a great doctor, but also capable of cutting off eucalyptus and arresting criminals. He is also the hero who wiped out the Wuyou Cave. I would like to ask you something, and I am here to meet you."
"
An Daoquan changed color slightly.
He didn't care about a few rogue soldiers, but the position of the Imperial City Secretary was completely different.
The top leader of the Imperial City Division was originally a public official, and was filled by a martial arts doctor, Duzhi, or an escort. For example, Ding Run, a seventh-grade martial arts doctor, was involved in the Imperial City Division's corporate affairs. Since Ding Run entered the Kaifeng government office as a judge,
, the official position was filled by Yang Jian, the sixth-rank internal servant in the palace, and Lan Congxi, the provincial governor of the sixth-rank servant.
But it is said that recently the officials intend to set up the Imperial City Secretary to promote one person, whose status is above official duties. Xu Zhidao heard the report, and set up the Imperial City Secretary to promote two people, whose status is below the official but above official duties.
Don't ask how An Daoquan knew about such a thing. The news of the capital spread too quickly, and coupled with the current hatred of the Imperial City Division, there was a faint tendency to take over from Wuyoudong. As soon as this matter came out, the people started talking and speculating.
Who will be responsible for promotion and promotion, and whether it can change the atmosphere of the Imperial City Division.
An Daoquan also had a discussion, but he didn't expect that the legendary mention point would appear in front of him like this. He was still an unknown young man and did not dare to neglect: "My brother is not consulting today, so I don't know what the point of raising the point is.
I can let you know on your behalf."
Gao Qiu said with a smile: "No, no, that would seem to be rude to me. Since Lin Erlang is not here today, let's just come and visit another day. What happened just now didn't scare Doctor An, right?"
An Daoquan was angry and did not accept this trick of using both soft and hard tactics. However, facing the power of the Imperial City Secretary, he would not argue for a few words: "We who practice medical consultation only want safety. If we are human beings,
People like Gao Tidian are so accommodating, which is also a blessing for us little people."
Gao Qiu laughed and said: "Thank you! Thank you!"
The two started chatting again, mostly asking questions from Gao Qiu. An Daoquan answered cautiously. It wasn't until the wind outside stopped that Gao Qiu looked over: "Sorry for disturbing you today, farewell!"
An Daoquan sent them out. Just after watching the group of people disappear, he was pleasantly surprised to see Li Yan riding a little pony to the door of the medical center: "Brother! Fortunately, you just came..."
Li Yan got off the horse, led the horses to the return location, and then returned to the door of the medical center: "Are you in trouble? Go in and talk..."
When the two of them entered, they saw a group of waiters and shopkeepers reappearing, offering tea and greetings affectionately.
Li Yan took the tea very calmly and listened to General An Daoquan narrate what had just happened. His eyes flickered and he thought to himself: "I wish you the best from the Imperial City Division... This future lieutenant actually joined the Imperial City Division."
, too lame..."
Perhaps for an ordinary citizen, being able to serve as an official in the Imperial City Division is already a great achievement, but who is Gao Qiu? One of Zhao Ji's most beloved ministers was actually arranged to join this spy organization?
But after thinking about it, Li Yan also understood the reason: "It seems that Zhao Ji trusts Gao Qiu more than those eunuchs, so he entrusted this important job to him."
Gao Qiu was an old minister of Zhao Ji's latent residence, that is, he was a close confidant who stayed with Zhao Ji when he was still King Duan. Such ministers often held high positions of power after the emperor ascended the throne. For example, Li Jingxuan, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was
An old minister of Li Zhi's late residence.
Of course, Gao Qiu's level is not comparable to that of Li Jingxuan. This person is actually not ranked among the traitorous officials in the late Northern Song Dynasty in official history.
There are two black spots for Gao Qiu. One is that he was born in Xingchen and was appreciated by Zhao Ji by playing Cuju. He has no military or political ability, but he is similar to Zhao Ji in many artistic hobbies. For example, he can write well and can
He is good at reciting poems, painting, sumo wrestling, etc. He is an excellent playmate. Zhao Ji especially likes such people.
The second one is that after Gao Qiu became the Taiwei, he treated the Forbidden Army as private service and did private work for himself to seek profits, which resulted in the "lax discipline" of the Forbidden Army and "people who don't know the soldiers have no one to use."
Of course, the imprisoned army has become like that. The blame cannot be completely thrown to Gao Qiu. It is a situation accumulated over the past dynasties. Maybe he is not bad enough to be a traitor. There is no such thing as Gao Qiu in the biography of traitorous officials in "History of the Song Dynasty".
The evaluation of "deficit" is really outrageous. It can only be said that the world is like this in this era. After there are many treacherous officials, they all rely on their peers to support them.
Originally, Gao Qiu, an ordinary bad guy without a personal biography, should not be as famous as the Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty. However, the "Water Margin" made him a household name, alongside Cai Jing and Tong Guan. Due to personal reasons that are difficult to guess, Li
Yan was very interested in communicating with Gao Qiu, but he didn't expect this guy to come to his door.
very good!
An Daoquan noticed that his brother's mood seemed to have suddenly improved, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange. He couldn't help but remind him: "Brother, at such a young age, he has some official authority. The Imperial City Division now has the trust of the officials.
, I’m afraid it’s not a good thing if he suddenly comes to look for you!”
Li Yan nodded: "I know, but just as they come to the door, there is no use hiding in the hospital. They have to open the door in the end. My home is in Bianjing. If the Imperial City Secretary really wants to come, they can't avoid it.
.”
An Daoquan sighed: "That's right... By the way, the storm is coming outside. Brother, come to the hospital. Is there something wrong?"
At this time, the clerks and shopkeepers had returned to the pharmacy, and the apprentices were also busy working around. Li Yan said directly: "I just looked at the account books and found that there are a lot of frauds in the medical clinic's income in the past six months. I conservatively estimate that there will be a lot of fraud."
Some of the profits have been misappropriated."
An Daoquan was stunned: "How much has been embezzled?"
Li Yan looked at him: "No less than three thousand strings."
An Daoquan took a breath of air: "Isn't this more than the two of us got? Was it Zhang Yu's doing?"
Li Yandao: "I speculate that this matter does not have much to do with Zhang Yu. Now that he has the income from this street, his position in the Shangqiu Chamber of Commerce is becoming more and more stable, so he will not be so short-sighted."
An Daoquan looked at the drug store in the back and understood: "The apprentices can't handle so much money, but it's the drug store's shopkeeper Sun and those guys? How dare they!"
Li Yan said: "Don't underestimate the appetite of these people. Seeing that you are from outside the state, and I don't care much about the income of the medical clinic, it is not surprising that you are so bold..."
An Daoquan's chest rose and fell violently, and he couldn't hold back his anger: "I'm so kind to them, and this is how they repay me? Brother, I must punish them severely!"
Li Yandao: "Don't act rashly first. The nature of this matter is very bad. If it is not handled properly, it will easily lead to future troubles..."
He put down the tea cup: "You just said that the Imperial City Secretary ordered some of his soldiers to target the medical center?"
