After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 150: Honest People Don’t Cheat Honest People

Yu Shen was taking notes in front of the medical account. He saw Yuan Qing stumbling out from behind and hurriedly stood up and asked, "What happened to you?"

Yuan Qing waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. I just tripped and lost my balance."

Without even looking up, the doctor said calmly, "When you trip, your body should be leaning forward or backward, with your arms outstretched and close to the ground. And your posture just now, under normal circumstances, has only two possibilities - either you are being chased or you are being chased."

Someone nearby laughed, "Oh, so you were kicked out?"

Yuan Qing rubbed his face, squatted in front of the doctor and said, "Don't tear down people, brother!"

"Sorry," the doctor boy still had the same expression, "I'm just telling the truth."

When he finished what he was doing, Yuan Qing pulled him aside and asked quietly, "How are they doing?"

The doctor knew what he meant, so he pointed to a place not far away and said, "Those leaning against the wall are all well. It's okay if they just say a few words. Even if they can't speak, nodding and blinking will do. As for those in the yard, they are basically all well. You can pick any one to ask. But remember that point, don't say you are a government official."

Yuan Qing nodded, "I know that. Sorry to bother you. Go ahead and do your work."

She waved at Yu Shen, "Come here, it's time to start work."

Yu Shen put the bag on his back and followed happily.

"Brothers, how do you feel today? Are you feeling better?"

Yuan Qing first selected those who could speak in the yard. There were only three of them, and they were all strong men.

Perhaps it was because they had strong physical fitness to begin with, coupled with the days of feeding on medicinal soup and diet, that they recovered the fastest. Apart from the sores on their faces that would not go away, there were basically no major problems with their bodies, and now they can help the villagers with their work.

They stopped what they were doing, smiled and waved their hands, "It's all healed, except for the pimples on my face that won't go away. But I don't care too much, as long as I'm healthy."

Another person followed suit and said, "Yeah, I never thought I would get better so quickly, thanks to the careful care of the people here."

In fact, after they got the disease, they didn't think about getting better. Many people avoided them. Although someone pointed them to Xujia Village, they just came here with the attitude of giving it a try.

Yuan Qing sat astride the wooden cart beside him and said to them, "I just want to talk to you. Don't stand. Find a place to sit down and we can talk slowly."

After chatting with a few people, Yuan Qing learned that they were people from Tongzhou, which was not far from the capital, so they thought of coming to the capital for treatment.

"So," Yuan Qing said, "you don't know the original situation here?"

They all shook their heads. "When we came here, Xujia Village was under martial law, so we don't know why. If you want to know, you should ask the people here."

Yuan Qing certainly couldn't reveal his true purpose, so he could only say vaguely, "My friend is also a doctor. She sent me a letter and asked me to collect information about this disease in Beijing. I thought it was a good thing, so I agreed, but I didn't expect the situation to be so complicated. Let's talk about Xujia Village later. I think they have always been very defensive, so it doesn't seem appropriate to bring it up now."

The medical boy came out and shouted to them, "Don't stop, keep moving!"

"Oh, I got it!" the man responded.

Yuan Qing went to look for the person leaning against the wall again.

There are quite a lot of people in this group, about a dozen or so, who all gather together to chat and recuperate.

When someone saw Yuan Qing coming, he moved a small stool to the side and said, "Little brother, come here."

"Brother Wang, why are you still sitting? The doctor told you to lie down and rest."

"I can't sleep. If I lie down like this, my whole body will feel uncomfortable." Brother Wang pulled Yuan Qing over and whispered, "Don't tell the doctor. I promise you one thing."

"You said it." Yuan Qing hurriedly took out a small notebook and wrote it down, saying, "On September 16, the fifth year of Yuanchang, Brother Wang of Pingjin Prefecture owed a fellow villager Gong Bin a verbal promise. The content is uncertain, but the term is for Brother Wang's lifetime, and it will be void when he dies."

Brother Wang understood the general idea and immediately stood up and started to look through the notebook. "I was just talking, why did you take it so seriously?"

Yuan Qing quickly closed the notebook and threw it to Yu Shen behind him.

"If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a bastard." Yuan Qing held down Brother Wang's arm. "How about I ask you a few questions, and your answers will be used as payment for this IOU."

"Really?" Brother Wang's eyes lit up, "You didn't lie to me?"

"Honest people don't cheat honest people. It's more real than real gold."

"Okay, just ask."

"Ask questions quickly and answer them quickly, without hesitation."

"can."

“Ancestral home.”

"Pingzhou, oh no, it's called Pingjin Prefecture now."

"The number of people in the family."

"Three, me, my wife, and my daughter."

"When did you come to the capital?"

"I can't remember, maybe ten days ago."

"Detailed residence."

"When entering Huyang Village in Tianshan Town, keep to the left. Wait a minute." At this point, Brother Wang felt something was wrong. He looked at the kid in front of him with a cunning smile and said, "You are trying to trick me."
