Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

"I'm so hungry!"

"Is there anyone?"

"Give me something to eat!"

"Is anyone here? Isn't it just me? Someone is going to die!"

……

Zhang Jiebin had been howling for more than half an hour, but no jailer showed up, and he found that he was the only one there. There were many other beings, all of them rats and bugs.

This was the first time in his life that he had been in such a bad environment. God knows how he spent the first five hours. But the sixth hour was howled by him until the sky was getting dark and the cell was about to be darkened.

After annexation, he realized what environment he was in.

"Save~life~ah~"

"I'm so hungry"

Zhang Jiebin almost ran out of energy to howl, so he just shouted these two sentences repeatedly, and then it really turned into a howl. Fortunately, there was no one here, otherwise he would have scared someone to death.

I don’t know how much time has passed, but Zhang Jiebin’s voice has become hoarse, and his howls have become intermittent.

Suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps and struggled to look up, only to see a sliver of light slowly flying toward him.

Zhang Jiebin was overjoyed, but his voice was hoarse: "I'm so hungry!"

The light spot shook for a while, then stabilized, and staggered towards him again. Only when he got closer did Zhang Jiebin see the whole picture clearly, and he was shocked and speechless.

The person who appeared in front of him was dressed like the painting "Xuan Zang's Negative Papers" that he had seen before. Upon closer inspection, he was about sixty years old, carrying a book on his back, and there was a hanging hanging above the book for walking at night.

The oil lamp was the light spot he saw before. When he saw hair again, Zhang Jiebin breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he could continue to read, the visitor had already stopped in front of him and said: "You are quite young, but you can scare people. What happened? Xiumu is still in jail."

"Old immortal, did you hear me shouting that I was hungry and come to bring me food?" Zhang Jiebin asked, staring at him blankly.

"Oh, I've become an immortal, and I really have food. But your house can't do it. It's too dirty and messy. Go to my place and eat together. The seventh pillar, yes, that's the one, you pull it out hard, yes, you can

Pull it, if you push harder, you won’t eat? Let me come, together, don’t look at it, isn’t that enough?”

According to what the visitor said, Zhang Jiebin found the seventh pillar and tried his best to pull it out but could not pull it out. The visitor did not believe in evil and also pulled it out, and finally pulled it out with the combined efforts of the two.

"Okay, come out quickly and put the pillar back in. Don't use too much force, it will be difficult to pull out after a while. Okay, follow me."

Zhang Jiebin followed the visitor and continued to walk into the cell. As he walked, he asked: "Old god, do you have a name? Why are you so familiar with this place?"

"Farewell, old immortal. My surname is He, my first name is Liangchen, my courtesy name is Weisheng, and my nickname is Jiming. You can call me whatever you want." He Liangchen said carelessly.

"Are you He Jiming?" Zhang Jiebin was so surprised that he took three steps and two steps at a time, rushed to the front, looked at him and asked.

"I am He Jiming. As for whether there is another He Jiming, I don't know." He Liangchen chuckled.

"I heard that you are looking for a successor, do you think I can succeed? Accept me as your disciple!" Zhang Jiebin recommended himself.

He Liangchen looked him over and said, "Hey, boy, who told you that, my apprentice is not that easy to be!"

Zhang Jiebin said excitedly: "Father said that he wants me to become your teacher."

"Your father is very discerning, but I won't accept him." He Liangchen threw his head and entered a cell. He said without looking back: "If you want to eat, come in, and if you want to become a disciple, go back alone."

"I'll eat first when I'm hungry, and then I'll start my apprenticeship." Zhang Jiebin followed in and said with a smile. He also helped He Liangchen when he was putting down books.

He Liangchen took off the oil lamp, lit the oil lamp on the table, and lit a few lanterns around. The room suddenly became much brighter.

Only then did Zhang Jiebin realize that this place was not a dungeon at all, it was clearly a home! It was dark just now and he didn’t realize it, but now he could see clearly that there was no shortage of beds, tables and chairs, bookshelves, and washbasins, and the walls were half-paved with paper.

Walls and even fences are no exception. Against the backdrop of red lanterns, everyone is celebrating.

"Mr. Jiming, is this your home?" Zhang Jiebin still couldn't believe it. How could anyone in the world really call a prison their home?

"Why not? Since the Ministry of War has vacancies and I have no place to live, isn't this just right?" He Liangchen thought it was reasonable.

"Can't we stay in the Huitong Hall?" Zhang Jiebin didn't hang around in vain for the rest of the month, and he still learned some things.

"It's too noisy, I don't like it." He Liangchen said with disdain.

"It's better than a prison cell!" Zhang Jiebin was not convinced.

"I can live wherever I like. Don't eat it again." While talking, He Liangchen took out the paper-wrapped food and the sealed jar of soybean wine from the book, and added: "There are no chopsticks, no bowls, no meat."

You can eat whatever you want, the wine is not yours."

When Zhang Jiebin saw that it was roast chicken, he tore off a chicken leg and ate it in big mouthfuls. He slurred and said, "I won't drink it even if you ask me to! Who cares?"

When He Liangchen heard this, he became more stubborn. He grabbed the chicken leg and started to eat it himself. Seeing this, Zhang Jiebin reached out to tear the other parts of the roasted chicken. He Liangchen slapped his hand and hit Jiebin firmly.

On the back of the hand.

"It hurts. I haven't eaten even two bites. At most, I won't eat the chicken legs. I'll leave them all to you. Is it okay if I chew on the chicken rack?" Zhang Jiebin complained of pain while rubbing his hands. He thought He Liangchen blamed him for eating the chicken legs, so he said.

"No, you can eat chicken legs, you can nibble on chicken racks, and you have to drink wine!" He Liangchen glared and shouted: "One mouthful of wine and one mouthful of meat, follow me!"

Although Zhang Jiebin didn't want to drink, he couldn't resist the temptation of chicken, so he accepted it. Just one bite and one bite, only the bones of the roast chicken were left, and the soybean wine was only an empty jar.

He Liangchen shook the empty wine jar and ordered: "You stay here, I will go find some more wine and meat. I will keep you drunk tonight!"

Zhang Jiebin felt that the whole world was shaking, but his consciousness was still clear, and he kept saying: "Good, good, meat, more meat..."

He Liangchen came out again with Ji Ji in his arms, which really resembled the picture of Xuanzang carrying Ji Ji.

At this time, it was about quarter to three o'clock. It had already been dark for an hour and a half, and there were only two quarters of an hour left before the night curfew in the capital. It was possible to go back and forth from the Ministry of War to the nearest restaurant during the day, but now it was dark and the roads were slippery.

It's snowing again, so we definitely won't be able to come back before the night ban.

However, He Liangchen didn't care. He went straight to the previous restaurant with the strength of his drink. As soon as he arrived at the restaurant, the evening drum was beating and the shopkeeper was about to close the restaurant. He Liangchen shouted: "Two roast chickens and two bottles of soju."

."

"It's closed, it's closed. Sir, please go back quickly. The night ban has begun. How dare you come out!" The shopkeeper quickly waved his hand and said, the five days of ban-free on the first day of the new year have passed, and the soldiers and horses department will start to work tonight.

"Get it for me quickly. It's none of your business. I want to see who dares to get it from me." He Liangchen said nonchalantly.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper had no choice but to wrap up two roasted chickens, carry two bottles of shochu, stuff them into the book, separate them with the roasted chickens, and read in his mouth: "Two roasted chickens, one coin of silver; two bottles of shochu, one coin of silver."

One coin, guest officer two coins with silver pattern."

He Liangchen took out a small ingot of silver from his pocket, weighed it, threw it to the shopkeeper and said: "I have more than four coins, no need to look for it. Bring me a jar of bean wine and some cooked food."

The shopkeeper also weighed the items and went to the shop to carefully pack something. After a while, he was holding a jar of wine in one hand and a package of food in the other. He read again: "A jar of bean wine, two coins of silver."

"Two roasted chickens for one penny; two bottles of soju for one penny; the cashier has more than four penny, and a portion of cooked food is the change!"

After putting the food and wine away, the shopkeeper finally said: "Guest, please go slowly, beware of the night ban."

He Liangchen didn't say anything. He picked up the book and walked a few steps before turning around and shouting, "Shopkeeper, bring me another bottle of soju!"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and then responded: "Okay, sir, please wait a moment!"

After a while, he took a bottle of rice wine and said in his mouth: "I will give the guest officer a bottle of rice wine for free!"

"Who wants you to give it to me? Bring me soju quickly!" He Liangchen was furious, took out a bunch of copper coins and threw it at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper dodged to the side, but the copper coin still hit his chest.

In pain, the shopkeeper realized that he had offended someone he should not mess with. He quickly apologized, lowered his head, picked up the copper coins, and asked tremblingly: "Sir, do you want another bottle or two bottles?"

"It's up to you!" He Liangchen snorted.

The shopkeeper came back again and again, carrying two bottles of soju, unpacking fifty coins, and begging for mercy: "Sir, what do you think?"

He Liangchen turned around and left with two bottles of soju. The shopkeeper just had time to wipe the sweat from his head. He was really shocked just now. He had obviously escaped, but in the end, the copper coins still hit him hard. This made him understand

, met Lian Jiazi, who was still an alcoholic, and it was even more difficult to resist when he started drinking.

After leaving the wine shop, He Liangchen was not in a hurry. The night ban had already begun, so it didn't matter if he went back early or late.

He opened a bottle of soju, took a sip, walked a few steps, and then took another sip. Slowly, the bottle of soju bottomed out. He threw it with all his strength, and the soju bottle flew into the sky. After a while, it flew into the sky.

Hit behind me hard, this sudden sound spread far in this silent night.

He Liangchen didn't care, opened another bottle of soju, and continued drinking while walking.

Soon, rapid and chaotic footsteps came from behind, and one person in front shouted: "The Department of Soldiers and Horses is handling the case, who are you, and why are you violating the ban?"

He Liangchen turned around and didn't look at them. He continued to drink by himself, shouting that he was happy!

More than ten soldiers and horses surrounded him. The leading official was still shouting, but He Liangchen ignored it and continued to walk forward. He took a sip as usual, walked a few steps, walked a few steps, and took another sip.

He walked, and the soldiers and horses surrounding him followed suit. At this time, they were very close to the central government office. The official continued to shout, seemingly unwilling to let go, and other members of the soldiers and horses also continued to maintain the encirclement.

p>

When we arrived at the alley where the Ministry of War was located, we continued to shout and continue to surround.

When we arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of War, we insisted on shouting and encircling them.

Entering the cell of the Ministry of War, the shouting continued, the siege, um, a hole was broken.

He Liangchen was standing at the door of the cell. He drank the rest of the soju in one go, shook the empty bottle, and threw it behind him. He was flying towards a military commander when the man reached out to block the bottle and the bottle fell to the ground.

Broken.

"Do you still want to hold me to account? If you don't hold me, you will go in. By the way, you are from Dongcheng Bingma Division, right? You came very quickly." He Liangchen said with his back to them.

After hearing this, the people in the Dongcheng Army and Horse Department looked at each other in confusion, not knowing who was the official and who was the citizen.

After He Liangchen finished speaking, he walked directly in without waiting for an answer, and then came his final words: "Thank you for sending me off, would you like to come in for a drink?"

Everyone was stunned by He Liangchen's weird behavior. It took a long time for the official to point to one person and say: "Go in and take a look."

The man held a torch and rushed in without saying a word. After a while, he came back with a look of astonishment on his face and hesitated: "That man, that man really made this his home."

"How many people are there?"

"Two people."

"What are you doing?"

"Drink wine and eat meat."

……

"Withdraw, report up first and ask the Ministry of War what's going on."

The Wucheng Army and Horses Division is under the Ministry of War.
