Chapter 73 Lord Gao, what do you think?
"In this so-called embezzlement case, both my family and Prince Jin have been wronged."
Since the Minister of Works has pushed the Gao family forward to take the blame, the embezzlement case must be inextricably linked to the Qi family.
Now that the Gao family is about to be silenced, he and we are in the same boat.
No one knew whether the Empress wanted to silence them or whether the Minister of Works, Qi, had acted on his own initiative.
Wei Jingchen didn't say what came next, but Wei Mingde naturally understood.
Upon seeing this, Yang Jingyan immediately said, "Brother Wei, in that case, I will go with you outside the city to meet this Gao Minglang."
If they want a place to talk, then the county magistrate has to step in.
"Thank you for your trouble, Brother Yang."
The group walked towards the city gate, where many people peered out, eager to know what was happening.
Upon seeing Yang Jingyan, the people opened their doors one after another.
"Lord Yang! What exactly happened?"
Since the prescription had not yet been finalized, Yang Jingyan could not possibly speak frankly about the plague.
He bowed to the people and declined, saying, "Please rest assured, everyone. I will issue a notice tomorrow. Please get some rest and wait for the notice at the yamen tomorrow!"
Yang Jingyan was always responsible, and since he had said so, the people naturally wouldn't make any more trouble.
They all pulled their heads back in and closed the door.
Upon arriving at the city gate, Yun Zhao was assisting Pei Jishi in taking the pulses of refugees, with several doctors from the city standing nearby.
As soon as Yang Jingyan appeared, everyone greeted him.
"Lord Yang!"
"How is the situation?"
Yang Jingyan walked over and asked with concern.
"We've seen a few so far, and apart from some people with skin diseases and malnutrition, no one has been infected yet."
No sooner had the doctor finished speaking than Pei Jishi's expression changed.
"There is someone here who has contracted the plague!"
With a "whoosh," the crowd quickly dispersed.
Pei Jishi reassured him gently, "No rush, we've already prepared the prescription. Let's go to the isolation area!"
As requested by Pei Jishi, the officials had already set aside an area near the city gate specifically for refugees infected with the plague.
Upon hearing Pei Jishi's words, someone immediately stepped forward and led the refugees infected with the plague to the resettlement site.
Yun Zhao gripped the calligraphy brush, sprawled on the table, and twisted and turned, making adjustments to the original prescription.
A moment later, she handed the prescription to Pei Jishi as if it were a precious treasure.
"Master, do you think this adjustment is suitable?"
"So fast?"
Pei Jishi took the prescription, looked at the somewhat childish but very elegant handwriting, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Good, the prescription is accurate. Let's get the medicine made according to this prescription. It's suitable for those people from earlier."
The doctor next to him quickly reached out his hand: "I'll go get the medicine. I have a few apprentice doctors who can help me decoct the medicine!"
The doctors were eager to learn from Physician Pei, as it was a rare opportunity to study under him.
I couldn't wait to go and take those people's pulses to see how ingenious the prescription was!
The others immediately felt a pang of regret.
Damn it, I was a step too late!
"Thank you for your trouble."
Yun Zhao imitated Pei Jishi's mannerisms and spoke in a very convincing manner.
"Princess Jinglan truly lives up to her reputation as Elder Pei's disciple; she possesses Elder Pei's elegance!"
The doctors all gave Yun Zhao a thumbs up, indicating their approval.
"Yes, he is only five years old now. Given time, he will surely become a renowned young physician in the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Pei Jishi smiled and nodded, showing no sign of modesty.
Judging from his expression, he seemed eager to let the whole world know that he had a disciple who was an extraordinary genius.
Because of the presence of a divine healer, even though they were infected with the plague, the refugees were still able to quietly follow instructions.
With the situation looking very favorable, Yang Jingyan then led the Wei family father and son away.
Yun Zhao followed their gaze and realized that their purpose in leaving the city was to meet Luo Qing and the others.
What happened to them?
Noticing that Yun Zhao's attention had followed Yang Jingyan away, Pei Jishi smiled and said, "Go on, come back to your master's place after you've sorted things out."
Yun Zhao turned around in surprise and realized that Pei Jishi was not joking. He quickly bowed to him.
"Thank you, Master! I'll be right back!"
After saying that, she turned around, climbed down from the chair, and ran towards Wei Jingchen with her short legs.
"Brother Jingchen, wait for me!"
She has short legs and runs slowly, so she can only shout at Wei Jingchen.
Wei Jingchen turned around, a smile playing on his lips, took a few steps back, and pulled her into his arms.
"You don't need to learn from your master?"
Yun Zhao was startled and said repeatedly, "Brother Jingchen, don't hug me! I've been in contact with patients with the plague!"
Wei Jingchen tapped her forehead indifferently: "If it's going to be contagious, I beat up a few troublemaking refugees today, so I'm not much safer than you. It's fine."
Seeing his composure, Yun Zhao didn't mince words. She grinned and said, "Master knew I was curious, so he allowed me to come and watch the excitement!"
"We really caught this excitement at the right time."
Wei Jingchen teased her.
Judging from what he said, it seems that something big has happened in the Gao family!
She immediately lowered her voice and whispered in his ear, "Brother Jingchen, have you discovered something terrible?"
Wei Jingchen had no intention of hiding it from her, and subconsciously slowed his pace.
"The refugees at the South Gate were incited by someone, and the mastermind behind the scenes also kidnapped Gao Jia and Luo Qing, among others, in an attempt to kill them to silence them."
Yun Zhao opened his mouth in surprise, somewhat taken aback.
Wasn't the Gao family taking the blame for the Empress's maternal family?
Therefore, it must be the Empress's faction that wants to kill Gao Minglang.
So, it was the Empress who wanted to kill her?
Why would the Empress, the head of the harem, kill a five-year-old child?
She was so lively and adorable, and she had never offended the Empress when she was in the Dingyuan Marquis's residence.
Moreover, in her previous life, she stayed in the capital and never recognized her relatives. The Empress not only did not kill her, but even treated her very well!
How come, after being reborn, he wants to kill her instead?
Yun Zhao unconsciously wrinkled his little face, looking like a little old man, which made Wei Jingchen laugh.
He raised his hand and gently tapped her forehead.
"Children are not allowed to frown."
Yun Zhao touched his forehead and looked at him innocently.
She only lowered her hand when the group arrived at the Gao family's camp, and then looked at them with an innocent expression.
Their faces were all bruised to varying degrees, and Yun Zhao barely managed to hold back his laughter.
"What are Lord Wei and Young Master Wei trying to do? Are they bringing people to laugh at us?"
Gao Minglang's words were barbed from the start, making it very unpleasant to listen to.
"This is Magistrate Yang of Yangguan County. Lord Gao, please allow me a moment to speak with you."
Wei Mingde moved a step to the side, gesturing for him to leave before speaking.
Gao Minglang glanced at his family, remained silent for a moment, and then decided to leave with them.
After the group had walked away, Wei Jingchen finally spoke up: "Lord Gao, what do you think of this murder to cover it up?"
Gao Minglang immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at him, then suddenly realized.
"It turns out that it was Young Master Wei who attacked us from behind."
"Lord Gao is joking. It was clearly a risk to save someone. Besides, we are now in the same boat. Does Lord Gao intend to kill each other?"
"Ha, who's on the same boat as you?"
Faced with Gao Minglang's stubbornness, Wei Jingchen simply lowered his eyes and chuckled softly.
"Is that so? It seems that Lord Gao is very confident that he can continue to evade the Empress's pursuit with just Luo Qing and his henchmen."
