Everyone could only turn around and go out, bypassing the gate and entering an alley.
This alley only allows one carriage to pass through, and there are two corner doors, one of which is locked from the outside with a big lock, and the corner door behind is... wide open, and there are many people standing there, outside the door Both showed two people.
The two turned their heads inadvertently, and saw a group of people in official uniforms approaching them. They were startled, and immediately shouted: "The official messenger is here—"
So a lot of people ran out from the corner gate, and they just ran away. Some of them were still carrying baskets, and the eggs that were too late to put down flew out, drew a line in the air, and flew directly towards Mr. Yu and the others.
Man Bao reached out to pick one up, and with a soft sound, the egg liquid flowed down from her fingertips, while others fell on the ground and hit the wall...
Everyone: ...
Shopkeeper Zheng Da also came out in a hurry to have a look, and he was relieved to see that it was them.
He squeezed out a smile and stepped forward, "The adults are here..."
Seeing the egg in Zhou Man's hand, he widened his eyes slightly, and quickly turned sideways and said, "Go into the room and wash it, come, come, come and fetch a basin of hot water."
After entering the corner gate, they found that there were a lot of things on the ground, including rice and noodles, jars with pickled vegetables, eggs, bacon, and two legs of lamb that looked very fresh. of.
Master Yu withdrew his gaze to look at the composition of the backyard, but Master Xia's expression softened a lot, and he asked, "Who are those people?"
Shopkeeper Zheng Da cautiously replied: "They are all patients that Quanzi has seen before. Hearing that Quanzi has returned home, we brought some things to visit. We didn't want to accept them, but the adults came suddenly when we declined. Everyone ran away when they were startled."
He said: "I'll have someone send these things back to them in a while."
Master Xia asked: "Do you know who they are and where their homes are?"
Shopkeeper Zheng Da: ... He really doesn't know, not only he doesn't know, but even Zheng Gu can't fully recognize him. He has seen so many patients. If it weren't for the frequent patients and neighbors, who would remember so many? patient
Master Xia knew it right away, and said, "Since you can't send it back, don't waste it, just keep it."
But Man Bao said: "Put the things at the door and let them come back and pick them up." She paused and then said: "Let Zheng Gu write a shameful letter and post it."
Man Bao asked, "Where is Zheng Gu now?"
"He's in the house," the shopkeeper Zheng Da said immediately, "he has injuries on his body, and he had a fever last night, so..."
Everyone went to the main hall and waited together.
The backyard is not all lived by Zheng Gu, it is divided into three small yards, the one facing the street on the left is lived by Zheng Gu’s family, and there is another corner door in the other alley, which divides into two yards, one The Dian Yao family lived there, and there was a small courtyard shared by two doctors hired by him.
Although it is divided into three small courtyards, it is actually not small. At least it is more than enough for a family to bring one or two servants to live in. It is not too rich, but it is not crowded.
Because it was copied, things were a bit messy, but the main hall was cleaned up, and the things that should be sorted out were also sorted out.
Everyone looked at each other, and finally looked at Zhou Man together.
Lord Yu and the others suddenly thought of a problem. Among them, Zhou Man seemed to have the highest official position.
Man Bao hadn't noticed it yet. After entering the hall, he found a chair that was not too small and sat down. Seeing that Master Yu and Master Xia were still standing, he stood up again and explained: "Don't worry, I will definitely not Intervene, I just came to see my apprentice, you can ask whatever you want later."
She sighed: "I also want to know the truth. The two adults also know that the Imperial Medical Office was built by me. If such a problem occurs, even if Zheng Gu is not my disciple, I can hardly absolve myself of the blame."
Master Yu looked at the rest of the seats, he was too lazy to argue with Zhou Man on the issue of intimacy, pointed to the first seat on the left and said, "Master Zhou, please sit down."
It was only then that Man Bao came to his senses that if she stayed, it seemed that she should indeed take this position.
She hesitated for a moment, and then sat down on the left.
Shopkeeper Zheng Da asked his servants to make tea for them. There were not many servants. Except for the cook who was cooking in the kitchen, who was sent by An's family, everyone else was brought by Shopkeeper Zheng Da and Master Zheng Si from the capital. People, there is not even a girl in it, all servants and servants.
But it was also convenient, and it was especially powerful when he helped Zheng Gu out.
Zheng Gu was wearing thick clothes, his face was a little pale, but his cheeks were a little flushed, and he had a fever.
Zhou Man raised his eyes and glanced at him, frowning slightly.
When Zheng Gu saw her eyes became hot, he saluted her first, "Master..."
Zhou Man nodded, glanced carefully at Master Yu and Master Xia, held back, but still couldn't hold back, and waved to Zheng Gu: "Let me see your pulse."
Zheng Gu saluted Master Yu and Master Xia first, then stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hand.
Master Yu and Master Xia only pretended not to see them, and waited for Zhou Man to stop before asking, "How is Master Xiao Zheng?"
Can you stand up to their cross-examination
Don't faint halfway through the question.
Zhou Man thought they were concerned about Zheng Gu's body, and was a little moved, nodded and said: "It's nothing serious, it's a low-grade fever, drink more hot water, and take two medicines."
Master Yu nodded reassuringly, and said to Zheng Gu: "Since Master Xiao Zheng's health is fine, let's start."
The clerk behind them immediately took out their notebooks, found a place to sit down, and looked up at Zheng Gu who was opposite.
Zheng Gu: ...
He couldn't help turning his head to look at his master.
Zhou Man raised his eyelids and glanced at him, pointed to a place opposite Master Xia and said, "What are you doing in a daze? Sit down and answer."
Zheng Gu then sat down, so the two of them, master and apprentice, sat on the left, and Master Yu sat opposite them with the two clerks behind him.
It's not like interrogating him, but rather like interrogating their master and apprentice.
The thought flashed by, and Zheng Gu moved a little uncomfortably, ignoring the whip wounds on his body, he sat upright and said, "Adults, please ask."
Master Yu asked: "Where's your classic medicine?"
Zheng Gu sighed and said, "Run away."
Master Yu: "...he can run away, so can his family run away?"
Zheng Gu said: "His family and two doctors, as well as the servants of our three families are all imprisoned with me."
What Zheng Gu wanted to say was this, and said: "I'll just wait for the suspects. There is really no need to implicate the family members. I also ask Master Yu to let their family members come out. The weather is cold at this time, and it is not so easy to be in prison. of."
Master Yu was thoughtful, and asked, "When did the classic medicine escape?"
