Chapter 665: Attitude (A reward to the book friend "One Stroke to Cut Through the Rivers and Mountains")
Magistrate Tang looked at Madam Ji who had just emerged from behind him, bowed, and asked, "Greetings, Madam. Do you think so too?"
Madam Ji said with a cold face: "When did the Ji family and the Ying family become one family?"
Ying Wei was choked. He quickly bowed and saluted Madam Ji, wanting to apologize again, but Madam Ji just gave way and turned sideways to leave the tent.
The strong men who brought the things came in one after another, and soon they carefully carried Ji Hao out.
Ji Hao's clothes were not changed. They were cut into a mess by scissors, and the exposed parts were stained red with blood. At this time, he was covered with a new quilt. Imperial Physician Fan and Doctor Ji followed him out, and the two followed him on the left and right, keeping an eye on Ji Hao's condition.
Seeing this, Ying Wei knew that Ji Hao was in bad condition. He felt a little nervous and stepped aside without saying a word.
The servants of the Ji family escorted Ji Hao back home first. In order to avoid any accidents along the way, they had to clear the road of pedestrians first.
After all, if something accidentally falls and hits the patient on the couch, or someone accidentally spills a basin of water...
County Magistrate Tang also sent yamen runners to assist. Fortunately, the Ji family was not far from Qixia Mountain, and it would take about three or four quarters of an hour to walk there carrying the couch.
As soon as the patient left, Madam Ji looked towards County Magistrate Tang, bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Lord Tang."
County Magistrate Tang returned the greeting expressionlessly and waved to the bailiff to take Ying Wenhai away.
Ying Wei's face looked grim, but he did not stop it. The person was in Tang He's hands, and he could get him back later. It was not a wise choice to conflict with the Ji family in person at this time.
Ying Wei no longer looked at her son, but wanted to go forward and apologize to Madam Ji again. However, Madam Ji ignored her and pulled her daughter-in-law's hand towards the carriage.
Mrs. Ji Er did not have the scheming and magnanimity of Mrs. Ji. She turned around and glared at Ying Wei fiercely, then helped her mother-in-law into the car and got in as well.
The old nanny looked around the crowd and saw Bai Shan and Man Bao standing together. She called a servant over, whispered a few words to him, and then jumped onto the shaft of the cart.
Ying Wei drove the carriage down the mountain with a look of trepidation on his face. He glanced at the servant of the Ji family walking in front of him, then gritted his teeth and followed.
A servant from the Ying family came up from behind and whispered, "Master, the car is here. Please get in and follow."
"Get out of the way, and have the carriages move back and follow." Ying Wei paused and said, "Send someone to County Magistrate Tang to watch over it. Forbid the county magistrates from using torture. Take good care of the young master."
The servant responded and came down.
Ying Wei made apologetic gestures all the way, insisted on walking beside the carriage, and apologized to the old lady and the second lady in the carriage from time to time. After a while, he ran to the front to see Ji Hao and asked about Ji Hao's situation with concern.
Old Madam Ji's expression became increasingly ugly. She lifted the curtain, glanced at Ying Wei's back, and then tightly closed her eyes.
Madam Ji's expression softened considerably, and she wiped her tears as she said, "If Ying Wenhai had half the magnanimity of his father, why would my son be in this state?"
"Shut up!" Madam Ji clenched the cane in her hand, took a deep breath and said, "Just focus on taking care of Hao'er in the backyard. Don't worry about the things in the front. No matter who comes from the Ying family, don't meet them or talk to them."
Mrs. Ji nodded in agreement.
Madam Ji then pressed the corners of her eyes, wiped away her tears, and instructed the old nanny, "Pack up all the things in Hao'er's yard and move them out to the two wings so that Doctor Fan and Doctor Ji can stay."
After a pause, he continued, "There are also Doctor Chen and Doctor Ding. Although their medical skills are not as good as Doctor Fan and Doctor Ji, they are young and can help them."
"Yes," the old nanny paused and whispered, "Madam, Doctor Ji seems to have a very capable female apprentice. Would you like to invite her to help?"
Madam Ji thought for a moment and then asked, "Is it the young lady who helped Hao'er stop the bleeding?"
"yes."
"Forget it. Since Doctor Ji didn't let her come, let's not force her. The two best doctors in Yizhou City are here."
The old lady glanced at Ying Wei, who had returned to their car and was trying to show his courtesy, and said nothing more.
At that time, the old lady was outside the circle of people and could not see what was happening inside. She could only guess a little by listening, but she was always staring down at them.
But now is not the time to talk, let’s go back home and talk.
At this moment, County Magistrate Tang also noticed Man Bao and others standing aside. He was originally going to go to Ji's house with them, but when he saw them, he looked at the silent Ying Wenhai and the servants of the Ying family who were standing aside with a covetous look.
He simply stopped being anxious and waved his hand to have the yamen runners clear the scene and drive away all irrelevant people. He then brought Ying Wenhai and the clerk forward and asked, "Come on, tell us what happened."
Ying Wenhai remained silent.
The servants of the Ying family wanted to step forward to stop them, as if they didn't want County Magistrate Tang to interrogate the case at this time.
County Magistrate Tang stared at them intently, and several of them felt a chill down their spines and dared not move forward.
County Magistrate Tang was unceremonious. He pointed at the two yamen runners and said, "Go, drive them away. If they linger here, I will arrest them and bring them to the county yamen for obstructing the investigation and give them twenty lashes of the cane."
Seeing how irritable he was, Manbao asked, "Master Tang, why are you so angry?"
County Magistrate Tang sneered and asked, "How could it not be big?"
This was under his jurisdiction, but he didn't get the news as fast as the Yizhou Palace. He was called to the Yizhou Palace and sat there for two cups of tea. If he hadn't felt something was wrong and left the palace first, he probably wouldn't have known about it until the dust settled in the evening.
County Magistrate Tang waved his hand and ordered the yamen runners to hold Ying Wenhai down on the grass. He then looked at Wei Ting and Bai Shan and asked, "You were all eyewitnesses, right? Where did it happen?"
Wei Ting immediately took him to see it. County Magistrate Tang said in dissatisfaction, "Where do you all get so angry? It was just a fight in Chunfeng Tower. Is it necessary to kill someone?"
"We didn't harm Ying Wenhai, it was Ying Wenhai who harmed us."
County Magistrate Tang sneered, "Just Ji Hao's mouth... Forget it, just tell me how the fight started."
After saying that, he glanced at Wei Ting, then pointed past him and pointed at Bai Shan, saying, "You go ahead."
"I don't know," Bai Shan said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. I am not in the same group with them."
Wei Ting hesitated to speak.
Bai Shan narrated directly, "The teacher said that we should start learning horseback archery and imperial lessons, so he took us to climb the mountain today to look at horses. If there are any that we like, we can buy them. If not, we will have to rent horses from the school when we need lessons in the future."
Bai Shan said, "I chose a horse and was riding it for a stroll. When I heard them arguing, I rode away and stayed away from them."
County Magistrate Tang & Wei Ting: ...Shouldn't we go up and watch the fun?
good evening
