Chapter 772 A Dream of Youth 304
The cold moon shone brightly, and the clouds gradually gathered together, catching the raindrops that were about to fall.
Xie Ning was sitting in General Xu's room, having just finished telling him about the day's events, when General Fang Xu entered. He seemed to have just taken a bath, but Xie Ning could still smell a trace of blood.
Seeing that it was almost time, Xie Ning got up to get the needles for General Xu, and then walked with General Xu to the main room, where she told him about Luo Yueqian's visit to her earlier that day.
She hadn't mentioned this matter to General Xu, but had only mentioned some of the shortcomings of the pharmacy.
As for General Xu, Luo Yueqian's grievances and the fact that the magistrate of Yangqu County was corrupt were really too minor, but he still gave Xie Ning face.
General Xu slammed his hand on the table and said in a deep voice, "It was my oversight. Tomorrow I will send people to investigate thoroughly and will definitely give the Luo family justice."
If we're really going to talk about it, he also has the crime of dereliction of duty due to mismanagement.
Xie Ning glanced at General Xu, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I'll come along tomorrow too."
She didn't know if the people General Xu sent were colluding with the county magistrate, but it would be better to go and check on them. As for the Xu family, perhaps some of their servants or managers had connections with the county magistrate, but their master certainly didn't.
There's no other reason than that they're not on the same social class; the county magistrate can't curry favor with them, nor does he have the ability to do so.
"You can see the situation of pharmacies in other places from the pharmacy in Yangqu County. I want to take care of things at the pharmacy here before I leave."
We have also been negligent in the management of local pharmacies. I will definitely report this matter to the hospital director and come up with a regulation when I return.
General Xu, it's already quite an achievement to establish a pharmacy in Bingzhou. I think you should value it more.
The main problem is that there are too few physicians; in remote areas, it's impossible to assign any physicians.
But what she said to the magistrate of Yangqu County that day was not wrong. The county government has a certain degree of autonomy in recruitment, but they did not use it well and instead used it for their own benefit.
This was a direct reminder to him, but General Xu was not displeased, only his face showed embarrassment for a moment. He was not good at politics, so he rarely concerned himself with this matter. "Thank you for the reminder, sir. I will handle it well."
When I came out of the main room, raindrops were already falling outside, and the cold evening wind seemed to blow into my heart.
The rain continued until the next day. The gavel slammed down, but the magistrate did not kneel. He only cried and pleaded his innocence. However, as the evidence was presented one by one, his face grew paler and paler. Suddenly, he stared intently at Luo Yueqian.
"Luo Zhi! You've ruined me!"
Luo Yueqian's eyes were indifferent. If he wanted to kill someone, he would crush them in one fell swoop. He had long ago collected evidence that the county magistrate had used his position to send his brother-in-law to work as a laborer, which led to his death, and then forcibly took his sister as a concubine.
But he had no power or influence, so he could only lie low. Then he took the imperial examination and was transferred here to serve as the registrar, where he gradually collected evidence of the magistrate of Yangqu County's corruption.
The Great Zhou Dynasty had decreed that officials who accepted bribes would not be pardoned.
The judge sitting at the head of the table glanced at Xie Ning, and seeing that she had no objection, he made the decision to execute the county magistrate and other corrupt officials by public execution and confiscation of their property.
Of course, when sentencing an official, the documents still need to be sent to Kyoto for processing.
Suddenly, a wail erupted from the crowd, crying out that Heaven had eyes. Everyone looked over and saw a lame old woman. They all thought she had gone mad, but Luo Yueqian's eyes reddened.
The drizzle stopped, the clouds in the sky dispersed, and the warm sunlight shone down, as if much of the winter chill had dissipated.
After sending the person home, Luo Yueqian went into the county government office and saw Xie Ning in the pharmacy. She was leading people there to treat the damp and spoiled medicinal herbs to see if they could be salvaged.
Seeing Luo Yueqian approach, Du Mingzhao and the others tactfully moved to the other side.
"Thank you for your great kindness, sir. I have no way to repay you. I will serve you in this life." Luo Yueqian bowed deeply, her face extremely humble.
Xie Ning didn't even look up, continuing to process the medicinal herbs in his hands. "You are a scholar, so you should have great ambitions. Now that your great revenge has been taken, I will give you another chance to realize your ambitions."
But you must remember, Luo Yueqian and Luo Zhi, to whom are you truly loyal?
Xie Ning reached out and helped him up, straightening his back.
"yes."
