Xiao Yuanzheng felt much more at ease, and after thinking for a while, he said: "We have to send someone to Luozhou. This is the key to the Imperial Medical Office. If it is a scapegoat, we can't blame it, if not..."
Xiao Yuanzheng frowned and thought about it, and finally looked at Zhou Man and said, "You discuss it with Zheng Gu, and let him bear it all. Both the Imperial Medical Office and the Imperial Hospital cannot do without you at this time."
Zhou Man is a talented person, and both the emperor and the crown prince like her very much. With her around, the officials in the court still have some scruples about the Imperial Medical Office and the Imperial Hospital. Even if Zheng Gu is her disciple, he has no intention of abandoning her.
Xiao Yuan was frowning and thinking, if Zheng Gu was really accused, what method would he have to use to keep the next week full
Man Bao said: "The most urgent thing is to send people to Luozhou, Xiao Yuanzheng, I..."
"You can't," Xiao Yuanzheng said directly, "You are Zheng Gu's master, so you can't participate in this matter."
Not to mention that she wants to be intimate, Xiao Yuanzheng is also unwilling to let her participate more deeply.
Man Bao simply asked, "Then who will go?"
Just as Xiao Yuan was thinking, his gaze slid over Imperial Physician Liu, and finally landed on Imperial Physician Lu.
Doctor Lu: ... I don't want to go on a business trip, not at all.
After returning from the Liaodong battlefield, the little meat that has only been raised until now, it seems that the Chinese New Year is about to come, why does he have to go on a business trip
However, Imperial Physician Lu looked at Zhou Man and then Imperial Physician Liu about this matter. At this moment, Imperial Physician Zheng from Xiumu also rushed over.
The eyes of the two met, Imperial Physician Lu sighed, as if no one was suitable except him, so he could only nod.
Xiao Yuan said rightly: "Bring the imperial physician Xiao Tan."
Man Bao nodded to Imperial Physician Zheng who came in, and stood up to salute Imperial Physician Lu, "Then there will be Imperial Physician Lao Lu on the trip to Luozhou."
She said: "Please try to find out the truth and keep Zheng Gu."
Only then did Imperial Physician Zheng know that the candidate for Luozhou had been decided, and he hurriedly followed Zhou Man to salute, and said with a guilty face: "There is Imperial Physician Lao Lu."
Xiao Yuan got up and said: "I have to go to Dali Temple, this matter waits for Luozhou to report back, it is better for us to strike first."
Man Bao nodded.
Xiao Yuanzheng called Zhou Man together. She was eloquent and quick-witted, and she was a little familiar with Dali Temple—she had been in prison and the lobby of Dali Temple.
Man Bao took things and went out of the palace with Xiao Yuan to Dali Temple.
Officials in the imperial city are not allowed to gallop. If they ride a horse, they can only walk forward slowly, it is better to walk.
So the two walked over, Man Bao asked Xiao Yuanzheng on the way, "I remember that the snow disaster in Luozhou was not mentioned in the last court meeting, did you hear about it at the small court meeting?"
Xiao Yuanzheng thought for a while and then shook his head, "I haven't heard of it, but Xiazhou and the grasslands are quite cold this year. Xiazhou has already made a discount and came back to talk about the snow disaster, and applied for relief food and medicinal materials for the herdsmen on the grassland."
Man Bao said: "In the spring and summer, there was a slight drought in the Central Plains. At that time, the old farmer in the village said that this year the Central Plains might be hit by snow."
"Qin Tianjian also issued an early warning. I just checked the account books given by Zheng Gu. He has been purchasing medicinal materials for cold and epidemic prevention in an orderly manner since August."
Xiao Yuanzheng immediately asked: "Is the amount large?"
"Not much," Zhou Man said, "but the time span is long, and the accumulation of a small amount makes a lot. In August, September, October, and three months, he will purchase a batch every ten days of each month, especially in September and October." In March, he bought three batches of medicinal materials for cold and epidemic prevention in large quantities. I have seen the quantity, and those medicinal materials are not only enough for the people in Luoyang, but also for other counties in Luozhou."
"But the medical office is only in Luoyang."
"If poor people come to Luoyang to seek medical treatment, even if they are from other counties, the medical department has not stipulated that they are not allowed to be treated."
Xiao Yuan was thinking, "Do you suspect that the local pharmacy did it?"
Man Bao paused and then shook his head, "I don't know, pharmacies and clinics are meant to save lives and heal the wounded. Although they are also merchants, they involve human life. In my impression, pharmacies and clinics are actually more conscientious than other companies. .”
It is even more fatal to be ruthless. Xiao Yuanzheng answered a sentence silently in his heart.
He glanced at the young Zhou Man, but he didn't say those words.
However, he didn't think relying solely on pharmacies and clinics to dare to do such a thing, the premise was that Zheng Gu was really wronged.
The letter stated that the people from the Luoyang county government went very quickly, and Zheng Gucai came back to pick up the people after seeing the victims of the disaster. Obviously, the Luoyang county government was already prepared.
Zheng Gu is not an ordinary doctor, he is an official of the imperial medical office, he can escape the monk but not the temple, why are the people in the Luoyang county government in such a hurry
Xiao Yuan was speeding up and urged Zhou Man, "Hurry up, it's useless for us to think too much about this kind of thing, let's tell the people in Dali Temple and let them investigate."
He paused and said, "I still have to go to Yushitai."
If Luozhou conceals the snow disaster and fails to report it, it is also a crime. Yu Shitai needs to know.
Man Bao nodded, so he went to Dali Temple with Xiao Yuanzheng first, and after reporting the case, he got their receipt and went to Yushitai again.
Because of Zhou Man, Master Tang personally received them.
After sending the person out, Old Master Tang turned around and ordered the servant, "Have someone go to Dali Temple to get the account book left by Zhou Man, and copy it into a file."
The servant was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Now?"
Didn't Mr. Zhou just say that the account book was left in Dali Temple, I'm afraid the people in Dali Temple haven't read it yet.
Old Master Tang nodded and said: "Right now, you take two clerks there, copy two copies with the people from Dali Temple and put them in the file, seal the original, and bring one copy back after verification."
The waiter froze, immediately responded, turned around and went out to find someone.
At this time, Bai Shan had just seen Mr. Tang who came back from the scene.
It was so cold that he had just gotten off his horse and his face was stiff. He took the hot towel handed over by his entourage and wiped his face, then looked at Bai Shan, "Aren't you on vacation today? What happened to come to me?"
Bai Shan glanced at his followers.
Master Tang waved at them, and took Bai Shan to his study, leaving only Mingli to watch the door, "Speak."
Bai Shan asked curiously: "Is there something wrong with Luozhou's officialdom?"
Master Tang was puzzled, "Why do you ask this question?"
Bai Shan then told about Zheng Gu being arrested and imprisoned.
Before he could talk about the account books, Mr. Tang already felt that something was wrong, "Are you arrested as soon as something happens?"
"yes."
Master Tang rubbed his chin in thought, "Someone is not happy that the medical department has taken root in Luozhou."
There is a set of rules in the officialdom, especially the local officialdom. Bai Shan has never been in the local officialdom. Although he thinks there is a problem, he doesn't know how big the problem is, but Mr. Tang knows.
This question is much more.
According to the local rules, the safest way is not to ask someone to investigate immediately, but to diagnose and treat the victims with problems with the local medical office, and to appease the people, and then go to the hospital. The problem, as for the questioning of the crime, was reported to the capital, and it came and went, and two months passed.
This kind of case involving two departments can only be investigated by Dali Temple or Yushitai on the capital side. If the two departments cannot spare manpower, there are also officials from the Ministry of Punishment and even Jingzhao Mansion. , but it is absolutely impossible for local people to interrogate people themselves.
Unless it is an urgent and major case, such violations of the rules can easily lead to unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.
