Three Kingdoms

Chang'an City.

The sun is in the west.

When the setting sun dyed half of the sky red with golden sunset, Chang'an City ushered in its most noisy and lively time of the day. After a hard day's work, the people were tired but also relieved, laughing and chatting with each other, exchanging family news, and enjoying the most pleasant time of their day.

If you climb up to the watchtower that stands in Chang'an City at this time, stand on the watchtower and look at such a huge city, you will find that the city has been divided into two different parts.

One part is that even though it's not yet night, it seems to have fallen into darkness early, and it's as quiet as a dead zone.

These dim and dark places are the old imperial palace, Weiyang Palace.

And the other part is full of splendor, seeming to replace the dazzling sky. It is East-West Street, Zhuque Xuanwu Avenue, Wenjiwu Market, Qianma Street, Yizifang, Zuixian Tower...

There seems to be a faint sound of silk and bamboo in the clear wind.

Zhen Mi looked up, revealing a small section of her delicate and white neck.

She got what she wanted.

But everything has a price, right?

In the sky, a few stars that were too subtle to be noticed were twinkling unknowingly, like soft light on floating silk.

"Climb into the Jade Pavilion and enjoy the pavilion of Chang Yang." Look at the shape of the mountain and watch the killings of the three armies. 』

"The wilderness is desolate, and there are only four descendants in sight." Birds are suppressed, animals are resting on their backs. Then he gathered the people in the congregation and awarded him the prize according to his merits. Chen Qingqi rides on the road, and uses the wine cart to consider. 』

"Cut fresh wild food and raise the beacon to order the beast." After the feast is over, work and rest are in harmony, the big chariot is ringing, and the grace is lingering. It gathers in the sky of Yuzhang and borders the pond of Kunming. The morning ox on the left and the weaver girl on the right are like the boundless clouds and Han Dynasties. ...』

Zhen Mi murmured softly, like the tinkling of wind chimes under the eaves.

Why did the Cavalry General ask her to deal with the incident at the Hundred Medical Center? Is it just because it was the female doctor Taicang Ying who was frightened at Baiyi Clinic? So as Zhen Mi is a female, it is easier for Taicang Ying to feel at ease than a male official?

I'm afraid this is just a superficial reason.

Zhen Mi knew that if there were a lot of reasons, then the one that would be shown to others would be the most inconspicuous one. For example, if a customer doesn't want a product, he may just say that he doesn't like the color of the product, but in fact there may be many reasons, but none of them will be mentioned.

Among those unstated reasons, they may include but are not limited to lack of money.

Those are the core issues of not buying.

And if you want a product to sell, you must make customers feel that the product is worth it...

So, under the reason given by the Hussars General, what are the hidden factors, and where is the core "no money" hidden?

Zhen Mi was thinking about this problem with a business mind, without realizing that she had walked out of the general's mansion.

"Madam..." The maid who looked like a little rabbit blinked and came closer, "Madam, we are now..."

Zhen Mi came back to her senses, and with the help of her maid, she got into her car and said in a deep voice: "Hundred Medical Clinic!" 』

"Yes..." The maid didn't ask a word why she didn't go home. After answering obediently, she ordered the coachman and followed Zhen Mi into the car, huddled in a corner of the vehicle.

Four guards from the General's Mansion, led by a corps commander, also mounted their horses and followed Zhen Mi's car. On the one hand, they protect Zhen Mi, and on the other hand, they also have the responsibility of monitoring and reporting back. After all, there was a riot in the Hundred Medical Center. A woman like Zhen Mi would definitely be at certain risks in the chaotic situation without guards.

Of course, these guards were temporarily lent to Zhen Mi and would be returned after the incident at the Hundred Medical Center was dealt with.

Seeing the hussar guard following behind, Zhen Mi withdrew her gaze and felt a little more at ease.

Zhen Mi's vehicle is a type of canopy vehicle, covered with gauze and silk, and divided into two layers, the outer layer is gauze, almost transparent, and the inner layer is thick silk for shielding.

Zhen Mi gestured to the maid to pull on the thick silk, and then took out a ribbon from her sleeve...

"Lady!" this! 』The little rabbit maid opened her mouth slightly, revealing two small and smooth teeth.

"What's this? ” Zhen Mi glanced at the maid and said with some dissatisfaction, “Come here and help me put it on!” 』

Yellow ribbon.

monochrome.

It is worn by officials from 200 to 400 stones.

There is also a Chunhuang Gui pair, hanging around the waist.

As for the official seal, it is being cast and engraved, but it has not been obtained yet.

But as long as you have a ribbon and a concubine, it is enough to prove your identity.

not to mention……

Zhen Mi touched a hard object inside her sleeve and took a slight breath.

The ribbon wrapped around Zhen Mi's slender waist, seeming to make Zhen Mi's waist even thinner. The maidservant knelt down in front of Zhen Mi, carefully flattening the two heads of the ribbon and hanging them down, and then smoothed the thin whiskers at the head of the ribbon one by one to make them straight and not cross-knotted.

An official must behave like an official.

Zhen Mi touched the ribbon around her waist and suddenly felt that the ribbon was heavy.

After all, this ribbon was bought with all the family wealth...

As for how long you can wear it, it depends on what you do next and how well you do it.

The wheels are moving slowly, but not very fast, because there are a lot of people at this time, so it is better to say that the car is moving than the car is moving.

There are so many people on this street, so many that it seems that everyone living in Chang'an City is here at this moment, so many that even the nearby street shops and stalls, those who originally had a mellow voice soliciting customers, are here. , all mixed up, making it hard to hear clearly. In everyone's ears, the huge and noisy city sound made up of countless voices is like a surging river. The sound of each drop of water may be very small, but when it is gathered together, it forms a rough wave.

Looking east, the lights are bright, looking west, there are crowds of people.

The ten-mile-long street is dazzling with lights and candles lit early, as if to compete with the brightness of the day.

Under the street screen in front, there is a sideshow stall that is using its last moments to drum up business. Several little girls were holding dishes, pushing on vats, doing rope tricks, and turning stools, which attracted a burst of cheers. A half-grown boy with sky-high braids and exaggerated colors on his face was holding a sieve basket. If he had something to say or had nothing to say, he would go around in circles and bow to the spectators, and then he would shout out loudly, "Thank you." A reward from a noble man! 』

Zhen Mi looked at it and suddenly smiled.

Yes, she also said something like this. Although the words are different, the meaning is similar.

In front of the hussar general Fei Qian.

In order to survive, in order to live better. Compared with those juggling girls, Zhen Mi is already very lucky, isn't she?

"The Hundred Medical Center is here!" 』

After turning into the side street, the speed gradually increased, and not long after, we arrived at the Hundred Medical Center.

Outside the Hundred Medical Center, many people gathered to watch after hearing the excitement.

Zhen Mi took a breath, raised her head, and got out of the car.

The nurses, soldiers, and others outside the Hundred Medical Center were first attracted by Zhen Mi's appearance, and then they couldn't help but look at the slender curves of her body, and then they suddenly realized that the person in front of them was not only a woman, but also a pornographic woman. After being appointed an official, he immediately lowered his head and did not dare to look directly.

The hussar escort dismounted, handed the horse's reins to the soldiers on duty at the Hundred Medical Hall, and then followed Zhen Mi, adding a bit of Zhen Mi's majesty.

"Where are the people causing trouble in the Hundred Medical Center?" 』

Zhen Mi's voice came out coldly. Although the street was still noisy, several people nearby at the entrance of the Hundred Medical Center heard it clearly. They looked at each other. One of them took a step forward and said, " I am a medical doctor from Baiyijian. I wonder if this lady..."

"By order of Hussar!" The whole story of the trouble at Zhiyin Bai Medical Center! Where are the people involved? 』

Zhen Mi stretched out her hand from her sleeve and raised a token in her hand.

Huang Shu, strictly speaking, is not really a high-ranking official. There are many Huang Shu officials in Chang'an City, but there are only a few Huang Shu who have a token from the Hussars General's Palace.

The medical doctors from the Hundred Medicine Hall were even more respectful, and quickly took the token with both hands, and after checking it, returned it with both hands, lowered their heads and said, "Madam, please... this, may I ask what you call me?" 』

"Mr. Zhen." ” Zhen Mi responded calmly and walked forward in the passage that everyone gave way to.

No matter what time it is, there is always a guy with a sense of fun who wants to die. When Zhen Mi was greeted by everyone, anyone with a brain knew that someone with such a pomp was definitely not an ordinary person, but there happened to be a guy who wanted to have fun all the time, so he whistled at Zhen Mi Loud whistle.

Perhaps in the minds of these Lezihuns, all that is left is the nap and butt, and then they say that Zhen Mi looks like this, and then they walk here, isn't it just for people to see? So let me see what happens? Others can see it, but can’t I? Since you can see it, why can't you just whistle a little and be frivolous?

The sharp whistle sounded like gravel stuck in the moving gears.

Zhen Mi paused in her steps and turned to look in the direction of the whistle.

At this moment, Lezihun was frightened and quickly wanted to duck back into the crowd with his head down...

"Take it!" 』

Zhen Mi stretched out her hand and pointed.

The several hussar guards following Zhen Mi looked at each other and hesitated.

Zhen Mi narrowed her eyes slightly, "Are you disobeying me?" 』

"Don't dare!" ” The captain of the hussar guard was stunned, then he quickly answered with his hands raised, and then pointed at the Le Zihun, “Take it down! 』

At this moment, Zhen Mi has the token given by General Hussar, which represents a certain authority and majesty of General Hussar. If anyone dares to be rude to Zhen Mi, it means that they have insulted General Hussar to a certain extent. , so there is actually no problem in executing such an order. It's just that the captain of the hussar guard didn't know how far Zhen Mi wanted to go, so he was a little hesitant. Seeing that Zhen Mi made the request clear, he stopped talking. Directly ordered the arrest.

With the words from their immediate superiors, the hussar guards immediately pounced out, separated the crowd, and caught the Le Zihun who was trying to escape.

"Han Code, follow the chapter!" Those who are disrespectful on the face will respond in the slightest way, while those in the severest form will be ignored! ” Zhen Mi glanced at the guy who was short-circuiting his brain in pursuit of fun, and saw that his body was trembling slightly. He obviously didn’t realize the fear until now, so he said disdainfully, “Yilu, answer twenty!” Immediate execution! 』

The corners of the hussar guard's lips curled up.

This penalty is very good.

Originally, I was worried that Zhen Mi would be punished too harshly in anger, but now it seems that this woman still has some sense of proportion.

The captain of the hussar guard tilted his head slightly and signaled the soldiers on duty at the Hundred Medical Hall to step forward and execute the order.

Palm, answer, whip, staff.

So, amid Lezihun's screams, Zhen Mi officially took the first step into the political arena...

At this moment, Lu Yu and Guan Ning, who hurried from home after hearing the news, happened to witness all this.

"General Hussars... let this daughter of the Zhen family handle this matter?" 』

Lu Yu couldn't believe it.

Although Huan Dian was beaten at the Hundred Medical Center, it had nothing to do with Lu Yu. Lu Yu didn't have to come over at all, but after all, it was the few children from poor families who blocked a few swords in front of them, and they had met a few days ago. , and now Lu Yu still can't do it as if nothing happened.

But when Lu Yu and Guan Ning arrived at the Baiyi Medical Center, they found that the riot had been stopped.

After the sentry tower issued a warning, inspections and soldiers quickly arrived, quickly detaining both parties, and isolated an area at the entrance of the Hundred Medical Center, strictly prohibiting the entry of other people.

Lu Yu and Guan Ning, who had not yet obtained any positions in the Husband Cavalry, were of course among the "miscellaneous people".

I was a little surprised when I discovered that it was Zhen Mi who came to deal with it, and not some other person in the general's palace or some official from Dali Temple. Although the concept of "medical trouble" did not exist in the Han Dynasty, the conflict before the Hundred Medical Center was not only a problem between doctors and patients, but also involved other aspects...

Lu Yu and Guan Ning looked at each other.

What does this mean?

Before Lu Yu and Guan Ning could figure out why Zhen Mi came to deal with it and not someone else, they heard a medium-sized voice next to them...

"Is there no one under the hussar?" 』

Yo, this is really true...

Lu Yu couldn't help but look back, and then was stunned for a moment, "Brother Wang?" ! Why are you here? ! 』

The person who originally made the noise was also stunned and called out, "Brother Lu Xian!" 』

Immediately, both of them realized that the sound was too loud and attracted the attention of others, so they bowed their hands to the surrounding people to express their apology, and then got together.

"This is not a place to talk. There is a teahouse not far from here, which is not bad... How about going there and having a seat?" ’ Lu Yu, who came to Chang’an earlier, took the initiative to extend the invitation.

Wang Kai also readily agreed.

The teahouse was not far away, and the three of them walked a short distance and arrived.

Wang Kai is Wang Can's clan brother.

Both Wang Kai and Wang Can had been to Jingzhou back then, and what's interesting is that Wang Kai's appearance was better than Wang Can. I don't know if it was because of this that when Liu Biao wanted to win over Wang Kai and Wang Can, he finally chose It was Wang Kai who married his daughter to Wang Kai. Therefore, in a certain sense, Wang Kai can also be regarded as a relative of the Liu family, and through various twists and turns, he may also be able to have a little relationship with Fei Qian.

When Cao Cao entered Jingzhou and Liu Cong surrendered, the local gentry in Jingzhou naturally supported Liu Cong's surrender. After all, they were spared from the flames of war, but for some of the gentry's children that Liu Biao had won over before, there was no benefit. It was precisely because of this that Wang Can found Fei Qian and wanted to do something shocking, but he didn't expect...

After Wang Can's death, Wang Kai's life in Jingzhou gradually became difficult.

This is conceivable.

Now, the two of them were sitting in a private room on the second floor of the teahouse, sipping the tea recommended by the store and talking to each other.

After entering this teahouse, Wang Kai never mentioned why he left Jingzhou and came to Chang'an, but asked Lu Yu and Guan Ning.

Guan Ning's main activity range is in the north, and he has little contact with Jingzhou, so he doesn't have much to talk about with Wang Kai. He just sits aside as a foil, drinking tea and sizing up Wang Kai.

In the light of the oil lamp, Wang Kai was wearing a navy blue cloth robe, revealing a moon-white Shu brocade middle coat, and a silk scarf on his head. He had a dignified appearance, and his soft and bright face added a bit of magnanimity...

Well, if it weren't for this appearance, Liu Biao, well, maybe Liu Biao's daughter wouldn't have liked him, right?

Guan Ning cursed, and then secretly wondered why Wang Kai came to Chang'an. Since Wang Kai doesn't want to say it, there must be something unspeakable, but he doesn't know what it is...

Maybe after Liu Biao died, he was left with nothing to show for it?

But didn’t I hear that Cao Cao made some arrangements for the Liu family? Well, maybe Liu Cong and other direct officials still have some positions, but for people like Wang Kai, that may not be the case...

"You'an, what do you think? Lu Yu suddenly asked.

"Well? Guan Ning was embarrassed to say that he was distracted, so he hesitated, "Maybe there is some truth... You guys say it first, and I'll think about it..."

Lu Yu did not doubt that he was there, so he said to Wang Kai again: "That must be the case... Qiaoqi knew that he was involved, so he ordered Zhen's daughter to come and deal with it... Zhen's daughter was also from Jizhou, so as to avoid others. There are complaints that the children of Guanzhong are taking sides... In addition, it may also mean that this matter is not an issue..."

Wang Kai sighed slightly.

Wang Kai arrived at Baiyi Medical Center relatively early and basically witnessed the whole thing. From a certain perspective, this incident broke out very suddenly, and it did not seem to be deliberately arranged. It's like what do you think in later generations? Maybe the fight started in two or three sentences.

But Wang Kai discovered something that made him feel uneasy during this incident.

At first, Wang Kai thought it was the guards from Guanzhong who were beating Huan Dian, but later he discovered that the one who beat Huan Dian was actually a descendant of Shandong...

Because Huandian's bodyguard also expressed his identity at the beginning, but was not recognized by these Shandong disciples, and even became more and more angry because of it, which Wang Kai found incredible.

After Wang Kai raised this question, it was Lu Yu's turn to sigh. Lu Yu recounted what had happened to him before, and hinted in a subtle way that Zhou Quan and others were probably here to destroy the Qinglong Temple's great discussion...

Wang Kai suddenly understood, and then he couldn't help but sigh along with Lu Yu.

"After the great lecture in Qinglong Temple, I am afraid that no one in Shandong Confucian classics would dare to say the word correct interpretation..." Guan Ning said with emotion at the side, "The Xiping Stone Classic is the correct interpretation, and the Taixing Qinglong is the correct interpretation. This interpretation of the sutra It’s all because of this... It’s inevitable for people in Shandong to be in a hurry... I’m afraid that as the situation goes on, this storm... will be difficult to calm down..."

Sometimes the most important thing about a matter is not what the truth is, but what others think the "truth" is...
