There were questions and answers in the lobby of the Yushitai. The closed door blocked out prying eyes from outside.
Because it faces north, most rooms in Yushitai are very dark.
Sitting indoors, Censor Zhongcheng always felt that the Censor's Stage was a little different today.
There were footsteps outside the door again, followed by a knock on the door.
"Sir, Tong Neihan is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened, and a tall and fat figure walked in.
"Brother Ziwen, I haven't seen you for a long time." A cheerful male voice sounded in the dark room.
Although his official position is higher than that of Tong Neihan now, he was promoted from Hanlin bachelor at the beginning, and his relationship with Tong Neihan was not bad. However, he became a lonely minister as the censor Zhongcheng, and became alienated from others.
Li Ziwen stood up and showed a faint smile to Tong Neihan.
"I should be the one to say this. Brother Zhongzheng is a rare person nowadays." He said.
"I'm not in good health," Tong Nehan said with a smile.
Tong Neihan was still straightforward enough, unlike the two people who came before him, who had to go through several lengthy sentences before getting to the main topic.
Censor Zhongcheng smiled slightly.
In the official hall separated from the Yushitai, Gao Lingbo was also smiling.
"It is not a shameful thing for people to be afraid of death." He said, "Even Emperor Qin and Han Wu wanted to ask for immortality. This lady, the miracle doctor, is right in front of her. She is not illusory and hard to find. It is natural for everyone to treat each other respectfully."
The followers responded with a smile and said yes.
"The more people who come to complain, the better." Gao Lingbo said, putting the memorial in his hand on several cases, "Go, let's make the streets more lively. It's a big deal to arrest the wife of a miracle doctor."
The answer is yes.
The closed door of Yushitai did not stop the spread of various speculations.
"Did you hear that the wife of the Cheng family was arrested..."
"This is truly an injustice... If someone dies in battle, there will be no merit, even relatives and friends will suffer..."
"Miracle Doctor is a direct disciple of Tao Ancestor. They are not afraid of being struck by lightning..."
"…. Let’s go and have a look. Maybe Dao Ancestor will show his spirit at that time…"
Seeing that people in the teahouse were summoned by someone who didn't know who, the people in the teahouse rushed out. Liu Lang put down the tea bowl in his hand with a serious look on his face.
"The people rumored everywhere must be Gao Lingbo's people!" he said.
"This is bad." Qin Shisanlang said, with a somewhat worried look on his face, "If it is relied on the theory of gods and Buddhas, the sentiment of the people will completely change."
"So she shouldn't be treated!" Liu Lang said angrily.
"That's why she set up those three rules in the first place." Qin Thirteenth Lang said, looking at Zhou Zuolang and shaking his head, "Everything has pros and cons, and you can't stop eating because of choking. The treatment of the disease at the beginning was more helpful than the disadvantages for her."
"What about now?" Zhou Lang said angrily.
First, everyone was angry and yelling because of the five people who died in the battle, which didn't mean anything to the emperor, but if it was because of the miracle doctor's wife that everyone flocked to her, it would be different in the emperor's eyes.
"...successively, the Tong family, the Peng family, and others went to the Yushitai, overtly or covertly asking for information..." Chen Shao said.
"Do they want to blame this matter on Lu Zheng, saying that Mrs. Cheng and the others were just used by Lu Zheng and that this matter has nothing to do with them?" Old Mrs. Chen asked.
Chen Shao nodded.
"Father, please hurry up and help her." Chen Shiba Niang couldn't help but interjected.
Chen Shao looked at her and smiled bitterly.
"Gao Lingbo thinks so too," he said.
Chen Shiba Niang was startled and realized that what she said was wrong.
"Getting favors from others and speaking for them." Old Mrs. Chen said, sighing, "Isn't the word favor the emperor most afraid of?"
The world's favors can only be bestowed by the emperor. If anyone wants a share of the pie...
"Just like she killed the great monk Ningde with one sword, sooner or later someone will kill her with one sword," Chen Shao said.
Who is Monk Ningde?
When did she kill someone?
Chen Shiba's face turned pale. None of this was important. What was important was the last words her father said.
Why did the incident become such a big deal this time? Wasn't it just a matter of burying a few adopted brothers? Isn't this human nature?
"This is the result of standing up. If you don't stand up, no one will see you." Chen Shao said.
"That's wrong. Can a person hide behind her for the rest of her life? Since she dares to stand up, she naturally has the confidence to stand up." Old Mrs. Chen said.
That's all I can think about now.
"I really don't know if it's worth it for her to do this. It's such a small thing. It doesn't matter if she takes it easy, but she has to move forward in such a hurry." Chen Shao sighed and said.
"Big things are worth something, and small things are worth something." Mr. Chen said, "As long as you think it's worth it, it's worth it."
Chen Shao smiled and saluted Mr. Chen.
"There's something worth doing there," he said.
Watching her father exit, Chen Shiba was still sitting blankly.
"Grandpa, did Mrs. Cheng really do such a big thing on purpose?" she said, "She is so courageous."
"Sometimes you are brave, but you just have no way out." Old Mrs. Chen said, sighing, "Don't envy this. If you can, who would be willing to do this? Mrs. Cheng will still envy you in her heart."
"What do I have to envy? How can I compare to her?" Chen Shiba Niang said with a smile.
"Of course it's what you have that she doesn't have, just like you envy what she has and what you don't have." Mr. Chen said, "Everyone has someone who is worthy of envy. Don't look at what others have, but look at what others don't have."
, this is how to always have a compassionate heart.”
What she has and what she doesn’t have...
The sisters were chatting and laughing outside the door. Chen Shiba Niang looked over and sighed. The more she thought about it, the more she felt sad, and her eye circles could not help but turn red.
"It was gone in the first place, and it was taken away from me. I would definitely not give up at all costs." She clasped her hands and said, "Small things, the source of justice and the source of love, are not trivial at all, they are the source of heaven.
Big things."
She turned her head and looked at Old Mrs. Chen.
"Grandpa, I have thought of something to write to His Majesty."
Old Mrs. Chen was a little surprised, then smiled again.
"Don't just follow this nonsense." He said, "What you can do is worth it."
"Grandpa, you are overthinking it. I just want to copy some Buddhist scriptures." Chen Shiba Niang said with a smile.
Old Mrs. Chen laughed.
"I always say that your father was shocked. In fact, I was also shocked by the behavior of you little ladies."
………………………………
"Fan Jianglin, have you done these things?" the censor asked, looking at the transcript handed over by the clerk.
"Yes." Fan Jianglin replied.
"Then how did you get in touch with Lu Zheng?" the censor asked.
"Sir, I don't recognize him. I just sent my brothers back to Beijing for burial." Fan Jianglin said.
The censor sneered.
"Aren't you from Maoyuan Mountain? The capital city is not your ancestral home, so you come here for burial after a month?" he said, and slapped the tree suddenly, "Tell me, who is pulling the strings, who is arranging, who is gathering the crowd?
!”
"I."
Fan Jianglin said nothing, and a female voice sounded in the hall.
The censor's eyes fell on the woman standing aside. In fact, he had been looking at this woman all the time. It was incredible no matter how he looked at her.
Such a young lady is actually the miracle doctor? Who believes it? No wonder she is said to be a disciple of the Taoist Immortal, the tofu regarded as a treasure by Puxiu Temple, and the famous passing immortal in Beijing...
If it's not the Zhou family, then who is standing behind her?
Someone has already gone to inquire about her father's family. After looking through the family history, nothing was found yet. We need to inquire again.
The young lady took a step forward, bowed slightly and saluted the audience.
"You? What are you?" the censor asked with a frown.
"I wanted my brothers to return to Beijing for burial," Cheng Jiaoniang said.
The censor snorted coldly before speaking. Cheng Jiaoniang spoke first.
"I was the one who asked my brothers to return to Beijing for burial, I was the one who held roadside sacrifices, and I was the one who dispersed the wine to gather the crowd," she said.
It’s easy to admit it.
The censor held the gavel and wanted to take a picture.
"No one asked me to do this, I wanted to do it myself." Cheng Jiaoniang said, looking at him and smiling slightly.
The censor did not lose his mind because of the beauty's smile, but was so stunned by the beauty's words that he even forgot to take a photo of the gavel in his hand.
"What did you say?" he asked.
"It's me who wants to cause trouble, and I'll go up to Heaven to listen." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
In other words, she admitted that the public outrage in Beijing was intentional...
The man just now admitted nothing, but this woman admitted everything without even asking. The censor was a little stunned.
"Why are you doing this?" he asked.
"Because I want to strive for credit." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
It was quiet behind closed doors in the Imperial Palace, but the court hall was very lively the next day.
"...Gao Lingbo is so powerful on the outside that the courtiers know too much and dare not speak out. Jiang Wenyuan and others are arrogant and bully others, and they do not reward their merits. Your Majesty, the blood of shame has not dissipated by the Caochuan River!"
Today is the meeting of the imperial court, and originally it was just a matter of going through the procedures, but no one expected that a censor would start impeaching Gao Lingbo right here.
His words were so intense and his expression so excited that he almost stood in front of Gao Lingbo and pointed at his nose and cursed him.
There was no sound in the hall except the censor's voice, but even with his head lowered, the emperor could see the excitement flashing in everyone's eyes, the excitement of watching the excitement, and the excitement of waiting for the opportunity to join in the fun.
Just knew it would be like this.
The emperor's eyes fell on Chen Shao and Gao Lingbo intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that the two men had expressions of numbness, as unconscious as clay sculptures.
Whose idea was it? Did Gao Lingbo desecrate himself in order to retreat in order to advance, or did Chen Shao want to dismount despite losing both sides?
No matter which one of them it was, the emperor felt a little disgusted in his heart.
This is all caused by that funeral!
Miraculous doctor lady…
"Does the censor Zhongcheng just ignore this kind of disrespect for the court?" Some courtiers couldn't stand it and shouted.
Censor Zhongcheng, who was sitting aside, looked blank.
"It is the censor's duty to report events after hearing the news. We cannot treat him with the same etiquette as other court officials." He said calmly, pointing at the court official, "Stand down and don't make any noise!"
The court official's face turned red and he fluttered his sleeves and had no choice but to retreat.
The words of the censor here are still going on, and he has already begun to say that Gao Lingbo is ignorant and has no skills. He is lucky enough to be standing on the side of the court and does not know how to repay the emperor's kindness...
"How is the investigation on Lu Zheng going?"
Knowing that remaining silent and conniving would only make the court more disgraceful, the emperor spoke and interrupted the censor's words.
At the great court meeting, the emperor personally asked about Lu Zheng, which was equivalent to accepting Lu Zheng's impeachment.
Gao Lingbo glanced at Chen Shao, with a flash of hatred.
The emperor was forced to speak in front of all the ministers, and the court meeting finally reluctantly completed the necessary steps and dispersed. The officials who were promoted to the court moved to another palace to start the official meeting.
"Interrogations have been sent to the relatives of the five people in Maoyuan Mountain in the northwest." Censor Zhongcheng came out and replied, "The Censor's desk is copying and sorting out."
The emperor nodded and stretched out his hand to press his forehead.
"Master Li, I wonder how many people visited your Yushitai yesterday?" Gao Lingbo suddenly asked.
Censor Zhongcheng's expression remained unchanged.
"Seven people." He said without any concealment.
"How many of them are here for Mrs. Cheng?" Gao Lingbo asked with a smile.
He could have said this, but it was more effective to say it from the mouth of Yushi Zhongcheng. This Li Ziwen had always been lonely, but because of this, sometimes it was perfect to use it.
"It's all." Yushi Zhongcheng said without hesitation.
"Ms. Cheng's miraculous medical skills seem to be really popular." Gao Lingbo smiled and looked at the emperor.
