Chapter 235: Jingzhao Shaoyin and the Future Jingzhao Shaoyin

Zhou Zhongan, who dealt with people all day, immediately noticed something was wrong with his behavior. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the man seriously: "Tell me the truth, where is your wife?"

The man avoided her gaze and said, "Of course my wife is at home. How can a woman show herself in public?"

Shen Yuan looked at his face, frowned, and asked him sharply: "Did you hit someone? Don't think about not admitting it. Whether you hit someone or not, we will know it when we go to your house."

"You hit someone again?! Today I have to go to your house to take a look." Zhou Zhongan said, and turned to the people around him and asked, "Does anyone know where he lives?"

"I know, I know. His home is in Qingshui Lane nearby. I'll lead the way, sir." A skinny young man emerged from the crowd with his hands raised high.

The man gave the newcomer a vicious look and said, "You bastard! Are you looking for death?"

"What are you doing? Do you think I am dead? Xiao Ba, go to the clinics I just mentioned and see if there are any doctors available. Please go to Qingshui Lane..."

Ma Gan'er added at the right time: "Sir, his name is Wu Dali."

"Please ask the doctor to go to Wu Dali's house in Qingshui Lane."

The yamen runner named Xiao Ba immediately took the order and left. Zhou Zhongan turned back and said to Shen Yuan, "Miss Shen, you are the one who reported to the police today. You should go with us."

Shen Yuan immediately agreed and instructed, "Qingdai, Qiaoqin, it's getting late today, you should pack up and go back today. Fuling, Baizhi, you two should come with me to take a look."

Xie Hui followed without Shen Yuan's saying anything. Shen Yuan said embarrassedly, "Brother Youqi. I'm afraid we won't have time to have dinner together today." It was almost dark now. By the time they finished solving this matter, who knows when it would be. By then, they probably wouldn't have time to have dinner together.

"It's okay, this is the important thing, we can eat together anytime."

The two were at the back of the crowd. Shen Yuan approached Xie Hui and whispered to him in a low voice, "I just heard it. That nasty man was the one who beat his wife. Fortunately, we called Zhou Shaoyin here today. We can take him away directly later."

Just when they were talking about this, Xie Hui asked Shen Yuan: "Manman, what do you think if I become the Shao Yin of Jingzhao?"

Shen Yuan looked at Xie Hui in surprise, "Brother Youqi, I just mentioned Zhou Shaoyin. You don't have to seize Zhou Shaoyin's position just because of this."

Xie Hui laughed, "No, actually what I want to tell you today is this matter. Jingzhao Zuo Shaoyin wants to retire. Jingzhao Prefecture has too many things to do, and Zhou Zhongan alone can't handle it. So I told the emperor to transfer me to Jingzhao Prefecture to take charge."

Shen Yuan didn't quite understand, "But you are the only Shaoqing in the Dali Temple now. If you leave, there will be no one left."

"The current Dali Temple's Lord Wei, Lord Bai, and Lord Li are all very experienced. They can all serve as the Dali Temple's Shaoqing. But Jingzhao Prefecture is different. Look at Zhou Zhongan, he is running around all day. Older adults can't do this."

Shen Yuan was silent for a while, then asked Xie Hui: "What about you? Do you feel reluctant to leave the Dali Temple? Do you really like Jingzhao Prefecture?"

"Of course I am reluctant to leave. This is my first time in the officialdom, and I was in the Dali Temple. Every official in the Dali Temple was very caring towards me. I am indeed reluctant to leave, but I also like Jingzhao Prefecture very much. I always feel that I have seen very little. If I go to Jingzhao Prefecture, I will be able to meet more people and see more things. I think it should be very interesting."

Shen Yuan nodded, stretched out his hand and shook Xie's, "Since you have made up your mind, I support you."

"Okay, thank you very much."

…

Wu Dali lived not far away, and they arrived while they were talking. Zhou Zhongan knocked on the door, and soon a cursing voice came, "Son, have you found someone? That little bitch can't give birth to a child and she still blames you, just divorce her... Ouch!"

When Wu Dali's mother opened the door, the group of people outside were startled, "Dali, who are these?"

"I am the Shao Yin of Jingzhao. I have heard about your son's problem. The emperor has always taught all officials that the people's affairs are their own affairs. I have heard that your son is unable to have children. What should we do? So, I have asked someone to invite a doctor, the best doctor from the best clinic in the capital, to check on your son. Infertility is no small matter. You cannot avoid seeing a doctor."

Wu Dali's mother's old face turned red in an instant. She was angry and suffocated. The official in front of her kept saying that her son couldn't have children. She was so angry that she wanted to curse him, but she didn't dare to curse the officials. She almost suffocated herself to death.

Zhou Zhongan went on to say, "What about your daughter-in-law? The couple's inability to have children doesn't necessarily mean it's your son's problem. Look, I've invited a female doctor here too. Let her take a look at your daughter-in-law.

Wu Dali's mother gritted her teeth and said, "Your Excellency has misunderstood. My Dali is in good health and has no problem. My daughter-in-law is weak, but I have taken her to see a doctor and he has prescribed her a lot of medicine."

"Hey! I told you not to avoid seeing doctors when you are sick. Oh, I forgot if you are illiterate and don't know what it means? In short, if you are sick, you have to see a doctor. You have to see a doctor to know whether your Dali is healthy or not. Giving birth is not just a headache. You are his mother, how can you tell?"

After Zhou Zhongan finished speaking, he stood on the steps and shouted, "Dadali wife! Dali wife, are you home?"

The family next door opened the door and said, "Sir, Dali's wife is at home. I just heard her voice. She seemed to be crying. Please go and check on her."

After saying that, he closed the door again. There were not many people in this alley who could stand to see Wu Dali and his mother rubbing their daughter-in-law. If they had a chance, they should come out and say something.

"Sir, please help me!"

When Zhou Zhongan knocked on the door just now, Wu Dali's wife heard it. She struggled to get up and moved step by step to the yard.

There was no need for a doctor to see her now. As soon as they saw her appearance, they knew that she had been beaten. Fuling, Baizhi, and a female yamen runner brought by Zhou Zhongan, stepped forward and helped her up.

"Fuling, Baizhi, send her to our clinic. Although it's not open yet, we have everything. Zhou Shaoyin, is this okay?"

"Okay, I'll send him there. It will be convenient with a female doctor. Chu Ke, you can go with the two of you and send him over."

After giving the order, Zhou Zhongan ordered directly, "Come here, take the mother and son back together."

"Ayong, you stay here. Xiaoba has invited a doctor. Ask him to bring the doctor to Jingzhao Prefecture."

Wu Dayou beat his wife, and the matter was now the responsibility of Jingzhao Prefecture. Shen Yuan and Xie Hui did not continue to follow him. She wanted to go back to the clinic to check it out, and Xie Hui went with her.

"Brother Youqi, I can actually guess why you left Dali Temple. I don't want you to do something you don't like for me, but since you said you like it, I believe you."
