Chapter 181 Fire
It is said that the new captain and the deputy captain, two officials, actually had a real fight in the street. They fought each other with fists and feet, and in the end, not only were their hair buns messed up, their robes torn, their shoes flying, but they were also injured.
The new captain had two black circles under his eyes and a crooked nose that was bleeding profusely and soaked his collar; the deputy captain had lost two teeth, half of his face was bruised, and one of his eyes was so swollen that he couldn't open it...
The two men's subordinates were also busy and fought each other.
When the gang finally got tired of fighting and stopped, they discovered that in addition to those who had their faces bruised, their arms and legs hurt, and even their limbs broken, there were actually several people who were pinned down or stepped on...
Because Li Gan had gone to other places in Bohai County before, by the time he heard about these things, the new captain and deputy captain had already received the best medicine and had almost recovered.
But Li Gan could clearly see the awkwardness and hostility between the two people.
He sent people to investigate, and what they found out was such a ridiculous farce.
These two people are so eager to show off. I wonder if they will take the opportunity to harm each other when something big happens, or will they be able to put aside their grudges and put national affairs first?
No matter how Li Gan thought about it, he felt that these two guys didn't seem like the kind of people with broad minds.
Li Gan has been feeling a little irritated these days.
Most of the people under his command were sent out, and even if a few of them came back to report, they were still stretched thin and not enough no matter how he arranged them.
People are rarely useful when they need help!
However, just based on the people in Jinyi Yunqi now, many court officials are dissatisfied and have repeatedly submitted memorials to admonish the emperor.
Therefore, for the time being, the people in Jinyi Yunqi can only make do with it...
Li Gan had two original purposes for coming to Beiguan Town.
First, he accompanied his superiors to conduct random inspections of the various bases to see if anyone was lazy or corrupt; second, he wanted to investigate the strange things that happened in Beiguan Town before - for example, the strange things that were done by the enemy under the banner of the Beiguan Town Qianhu Suo...
However, like Xiao Lubuhua, his thoughts strayed to the Mohist school.
I always feel that some of the Mohist disciples are lurking at the border, so they couldn't help but take action to warn.
He never expected that he didn't find out where those things came from, nor did he find any trace of the Mohist disciples, but he discovered some extraordinary things in several places in Bohai County.
It has almost become common practice for Qianhu Suo to collect empty salaries, send out caravans to engage in smuggling, and for gangs to rob gangs.
He couldn't do anything about it at the moment, but he had to collect evidence. The more and more complete the better.
It’s a pity that there is a shortage of manpower, things are very busy, and we just can’t let go.
Li Gan couldn't help but feel a little angry.
A surge of anger came up, perhaps due to some unfamiliarity with the local climate, and half of my teeth began to ache.
When the tooth hurts, the face starts to swell.
His whole appearance became mediocre, and there was no trace of his former handsomeness and brilliance.
When Xia Daohua accompanied Zhou to Beiguan Town to visit her aunt Xia Yujiao, she met Li Gan and almost didn't recognize him.
It was only when Li Gan smiled and greeted Xia Daohua that Xia Daohua recognized him. She couldn't help but blurt out the first thing she said: "Have you changed your appearance again?"
Li Gan's expression changed in an instant, and then he smiled again, but the smile was a little crooked, and his voice was a little cold: "I have a toothache and my face is swollen."
When Xia Daohua lived in modern times, she had wisdom teeth that grew crookedly, so she knew the essence of toothache. Although she knew in her heart that she shouldn't gloat over other people's misfortune, she couldn't help but find it a little funny when she saw Li Gan's appearance.
She bit her cheeks twice secretly to hold back her smile, and a few tears came out of her eyes:
"I have a medicine that is very effective for toothache. I will send it to you later."
Li Gan clearly saw a smile on Xia Daohua's face, but then he saw tears in her eyes. Later, when he heard that she was going to send him medicine, he was originally a little annoyed, but that disappeared in an instant:
"I've already seen a doctor, but my toothache is caused by internal heat. The heat in my heart is too strong, and no medicine can suppress it."
After saying this, Li Gan almost bit his tongue.
There's something weird about this girl!
I am not the kind of person who opens up to others easily!
Why do I feel relieved when I see her?
Li Gan was just feeling annoyed when Zhou had already finished paying her respects to him and called Xia Daohua forward without any politeness.
Although Xia Daohua is still a half-grown child, Li Gan is an official after all. How many good people are there among officials? This silly girl, why doesn't she know how to be afraid?
How dare you mention her medicine! The medicine she made herself is useless if given to others. How can people trust it?
Besides, if something goes wrong with the family, wouldn’t that be another disaster?
Zhou knew that Li Gan had helped the Xia family a lot in rescuing Xia Yujiao, but he kept holding Xia Yujiao and refused to release her, which made Zhou feel uneasy.
She had assassinated Jin Yong before and caught a cold. When she was in bed recuperating, she felt relieved, but she kept thinking about what had happened at home in the past year.
I always feel like my family seems to have offended Tai Sui, or has run into something?
Otherwise, how could there be one thing after another, and it never stops! And these things are not good things...
Seeing that Zhou had walked some distance away, Xia Daohua quickly greeted Li Gan and hurriedly chased after her.
Li Gan smiled and shook his head.
Unexpectedly, that night, Li Gan received the medicine sent by Xia Daohua.
Xia Daohua gave him a very delicate transparent glass bottle filled with white medicine powder, and explained that it was specially used to treat toothaches and was enough for ten doses.
This medicine powder is actually the most common bezoar metronidazole.
It’s just that Xia Daohua crushed the original tablets, rolled them into powder with a rolling pin, and put them into the glass bottle that originally contained the small fragrance beads.
This "packaging" suddenly seemed a little mysterious and very valuable.
Li Gan really lives up to his name.
I got the medicine that Xia Daohua personally brought to me, but I didn't even ask anyone to test it or anything. I just took it once according to the dosage Xia Daohua told me.
This medicine is amazingly effective in curing toothaches.
Li Gan was pleasantly surprised to find that his toothache, which was originally unbearable, could now be easily endured.
I simply took it again before going to bed, and that night I slept soundly for a full half of the night.
The reason why it was half a night was because something big happened in Beiguan Town in the second half of the night.
The county government office in Beiguan Town caught fire.
