Chapter 442 Royal Family Surname
Song Yuntang was puzzled.
"Who's looking for me?"
"It looks like he is someone quite important. Master, please come with me to take a look. He is in the backyard. Sister Nian'er is serving there right now. She originally wanted Brother Changgen to go to Cile Town to look for you, but it just so happened that you came at this time."
Shunzi said this, turned around and ran towards the clinic.
Song Yuntang smiled. It was a good thing that Nian'er had his own ideas. Her teaching during this period was not in vain.
As soon as I entered the backyard, I saw four unfamiliar faces.
A little further away stood two black-clad guards holding knives in their hands. Next to the stone table sat a young man dressed in brocade clothes and with an imposing manner. Next to the man, stood respectfully a man with a rather feminine face.
It turns out that he has a great background.
If I'm not mistaken, he should be someone from the capital.
Shunzi went into the backyard.
"Sister Nian'er, the master is here."
Nian'er looked over here with a look of surprise on her face, but thinking that there were outsiders present, she bowed politely.
"Master, you are here."
The man beside the stone table looked in the direction of Song Yuntang, and when he saw her, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
I didn’t expect that the doctor who solved the plague in Anyang County in the first half of the year was such a young woman.
Song Yuntang nodded slightly.
"May I ask who you are?"
The man did not answer her question.
"Doctor Song, can I have a word with you?"
Song Yuntang glanced in the direction of Xia Ning. This man was accompanied by two guards. If they took action, the clinic would be in trouble. Besides, this man did not seem to be a simple person and should not be offended easily.
"There is a teahouse not far from the clinic. Is it good for you, sir?"
The man stood up.
"Let's go."
In the teahouse where Yang Linyuan talked to her last time, the man looked at Song Yuntang.
"I am Li Chixiao, the imperial envoy sent by the court."
After confirming his guess, Song Yuntang nodded and said, "Hello, Lord Li. I wonder why Lord Li is looking for me?"
"Book……"
Li Chixiao paused, then changed the subject, "I want to discuss a deal with Doctor Song. The central region of Daxia has been hit hard by the locust plague this time. If there is another plague at the end of the year, I wonder if Doctor Song can still assist me wholeheartedly, as he did at the beginning of the year when he assisted the magistrate of Anyang County? As a reward, I can recommend Doctor Song to the Imperial Hospital to see the nobles in the palace."
As a commoner, being able to enter the Imperial Medical Bureau and treat dignitaries is a great blessing.
Others might be delighted, but Song Yuntang was obviously not blinded by this smoke screen.
She frowned slightly.
"It is our duty as doctors to save the dying and heal the wounded. But how can you be sure that there will be a plague here? Before the locust plague this year, the government had already taken some measures to control the disaster. Similarly, if we take precautions in advance in winter, perhaps the plague will not necessarily occur."
Just like last year.
The better the prevention and control were in advance, the plague would not have spread to a wide area and not many people would have been infected.
This year the government has opened its granaries to release grain, has continued to distribute porridge, and has exempted local taxes. The situation in Anyang County is currently relatively stable.
The man had a stern look on his face, and he looked intimidating without even getting angry.
The man with a feminine face at the side saw this and looked at Song Yuntang and said, "How can our master's words be false? Doctor Song, just cooperate. The Imperial Hospital has never had a female doctor. Doctor Song, as a woman, can enter the Imperial Hospital and become the first female imperial physician. This is a blessing that you will never get in your eight lifetimes. Why don't you thank my master for the promotion?"
After hearing this, Song Yuntang finally understood.
If there was no plague, they would probably create a "plague" and ask her to cooperate in solving it.
After all, she is a local and has experience in treating the plague. They are worried that she will notice their little tricks and want to recruit her into their group.
Afterwards, they said they would recommend her to the Imperial Medical Service, but after this incident, she was on the same boat with them. After entering the Imperial Medical Service, she had no choice but to continue serving them and become a sharp blade in their hands.
Her medical skills are used to cure diseases and save lives, not to do evil.
Besides, she had no intention of being controlled by anyone.
As his thoughts raced, Song Yuntang raised his hand and bowed to the man opposite him.
"If there is a plague in Anyang County, I will be of great help to you. However, I am used to being a free and unrestrained person. My family and friends are all in Anyang County. I don't want to leave my hometown for the time being. I hope Master Li will forgive me."
It's obvious at first glance that this man is not an ordinary person. He should not be provoked easily, otherwise you will never know what kind of muddy water you are getting into.
Li Chixiao didn't say anything.
The hand on the table tapped gently, again and again, with a loud sound, which made Song Yuntang feel a little uneasy.
She pretended to be calm and didn't let herself show any fear.
An ordinary woman would have been frightened out of her wits by the look on his face, but Dr. Song, who came from the countryside, was a man of some courage.
After a moment, Li Chixiao looked up at her.
"Doctor Song is unwilling to cooperate?"
Song Yuntang stood up and bowed to Li Chixiao.
"I hope Master Li will forgive me. I will be going back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year with my family in a few days. I am afraid I will not be able to take care of the plague in Anyang County by then. If Master Li needs me, please send someone to Xinglin Medical Clinic to find me. I will definitely not refuse."
Since he was worried that she would discover something, she took the initiative to avoid him.
Although she knew that what these people were going to do was not a good thing and understood that their actions would harm many people, she was a commoner with no foundation and could not do anything about it. If she intervened, not only would her life be in danger, but she might also implicate her family.
After all, no matter how high-ranking the official in the provincial capital is, he cannot surpass the imperial envoy from the capital.
Xu Qingye is at a critical time in his studies now, and she can't cause trouble for him behind his back, so she can only let down Master Wu's last words of advice before he left.
There was no emotion in Li Chixiao's eyes.
This woman is quite smart. Even in such a situation, she knows how to protect herself and her family.
If she were a rich girl in Beijing, with such abilities and intelligence, she would definitely be a great help in the future.
Unfortunately she is not.
However, he will stay in Anyang County for more than just one or two days, there is still a long way to go.
"Since Doctor Song is unwilling to cooperate, I will not force him to do so." He gestured to the entrance of the teahouse, "Doctor Song, please go back."
Song Yuntang nodded slightly, and when he turned around and left with Xia Ning, his back was already covered in sweat.
"Xia Ning, you have been to the capital with Mr. Tang before, do you recognize this person?"
Xia Ning shook his head.
"I spent most of my time practicing martial arts. Even when I had a mission, I acted alone or with companions. I didn't know many people in Beijing. However, the surname Li is a royal family in Beijing, so you have to be careful."
Song Yuntang understood in his heart.
It seems that her guess was right, this man is indeed not simple.
