Chapter 267 The most important thing now is you
When the master saw that Magistrate Xu had lost his position, he was so frightened that he trembled all over. He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "They are all in the backyard of the government office. This is all ordered by Magistrate Xu, and I am also following orders!"
Shen Ruzhou's anger has not subsided, and the dignified master does not know how to dissuade him, which is not a good thing!
She ordered unceremoniously, "Go to the backyard immediately and isolate the captured people according to their severity. If you dare to do things perfunctorily again, be careful of your life!"
"Yes, yes, let's go, little one."
The master wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and agreed repeatedly. He bowed his belt and turned to the yamen servant and went to the backyard. When he exited, because he was walking in a hurry, he tripped over the threshold and got bitten by a dog.
Shen Ruzhou looked at this group of people, feeling as if he was seeing a swarm of silverfish, and felt disgusted in his heart.
"These people hold high positions, and they usually feed the common people. They just do everything they can to lord it over and do good things."
"Now that the plague is spreading, they don't want to save people. Instead, they want to send people to the road of death, break their bones and suck out their marrow. They also say it in a high-sounding way. They are really a worm in the country!"
Speaking of this, Shen Ruzhou thought of the soldiers in the military camp and the Shen family who were still fighting on the battlefield. He couldn't help but feel sad and felt a chill in his lips and teeth.
"The soldiers fought hard with swords, guns, and swords in order to protect their homes and country, but they were almost killed at the hands of these mediocre officials. It is really heart-breaking!"
The deputy general on the side heard this and looked at Shen Ruzhou's sad look, and couldn't help but glance at her.
Apart from the fact that the regent really treated these soldiers as human beings, this was the first time he had seen a woman of high status speak for them, which was really rare and valuable.
Bei Xiuyan's eyes were cold. He had lived in the court for a long time and had seen many such things. He no longer had any mood swings.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the angry little face, his heart moved slightly.
"The country will not always be like this. There are still many people with lofty ideals who are quietly dedicating themselves to the people."
"Really? Why didn't I know?" Shen Ruzhou sneered coldly, not believing Beixiu Yan's comfort at all.
Bei Xiuyan chuckled, and the cool voice made Shen Ruzhou's heart skip a beat, "Aren't you trying your best to save the patients?"
"Those officials are not as good as you, a girl, and all the books of sages have been read into the belly of a dog."
Shen Ruzhou suddenly raised his head and met Bei Xiuyan's calm eyes. His wandering heart seemed to have found its home and settled down.
"If it weren't for the help of the regent, even if I wanted to save people, I would be useless as a hero."
Thinking of this period of time, she clasped her hands and bowed respectfully to Beixiu Yan.
"The regent did not look down on me because I was a daughter and gave me the opportunity to save others. When others made things difficult for me or questioned me, the regent would protect me."
"It is with the trust and help of the regent that Ruzhou can display his talent and practice medicine to save people. Ruzhou would like to thank the regent here."
"You thank me?"
Bei Xiuyan raised his eyebrows, his clear eyes flashed with a hint of interest, "You came to the military camp to treat my soldiers, shouldn't I be the one thanking you?"
"Not only this, the regent has helped me a lot, no matter what, I should be the one to thank you." Shen Ruzhou recalled every bit of the past, and he really had a lot of help from him.
She solemnly made a promise, "If the regent needs me to do anything in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"You don't have to go through fire and water, as long as..."
Beixiu Yan did not say any more.
Shen Ruzhou asked eagerly, "Just what?"
"It's nothing, we have a long time to come." Bei Xiuyan's mouth curled up with a vague arc. Anyway, there will be plenty of time in the future, so there is no rush for this moment.
Commander He had dealt with Xu Yuandao and came in to reply, "This Xu Yuandao is really difficult to deal with. He scolded him all the way and blamed the people for the uprising."
Shen Ruzhou also felt that it was not good for Magistrate Xu to shirk responsibility, but...
"This riot is very strange. It happened too suddenly. I'm afraid it was someone with ulterior motives who deliberately spread rumors and incited people to cause trouble."
"Rumors can be true or false, which makes it easier to confuse the public and confuse people. When the court wants to explain, it will not be easy to be convinced. The people behind the scenes are not simple, and they need to be investigated carefully."
Bei Xiuyan ordered: "Go and bring the troublemaker for questioning."
Commander He took the order and left.
Shen Ruzhou was worried about the plague in the military camp. "Prince Regent, there are not enough medicinal materials in the military camp. I will prepare some first."
"Okay, go ahead and pay attention to safety." Beixiu Yan nodded towards her and sent two more guards to accompany her.
Beixiuyan placed the fleeing people and soldiers in the city directly in the prefecture's back office and managed them separately.
There are more camp arrangements here, and Shen Ruzhou has more patients who need to be treated. It is normal to be so busy every day that the moon is above the willow branches.
She was so busy that day that she finally stopped for a while, stretched out, leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes to relax.
There were footsteps outside the curtain. She pointed at the pulse pillow in front of her and said in a hoarse voice, "Put your hand up."
After a while, there was first the sound of a chair being pulled, and then the slight sound of porcelain.
Shen Ruzhou opened his eyes suddenly and saw a handsome face appearing opposite him.
"Regent?"
She suddenly realized how inelegant her current sitting position was, and immediately sat up awkwardly, "Prince Regent, why are you here?"
Beixiu Yan waved away the attendants who were serving the dish, and said quietly: "Why, I can't come?"
Shen Ruzhou felt hungry in her stomach, lured by the aroma all over the table. She sniffed hard and said with a smile, "No, this is your jurisdiction. You can go wherever you want!"
Bei Xiuyan looked at the smiling woman in red in front of him. After several days of hard work, she had lost weight and was beyond frail.
He filled a bowl of white fungus and snow pear soup with his own hands and placed it in front of Shen Ruzhou, saying in a calm tone, "Eat first."
Shen Ruzhou was a little surprised by the soup bowl that was suddenly placed in front of her. She felt that Bei Xiuyan's serious attitude didn't sound like he was calling her to eat, but rather like he was asking her to do something extremely important.
"What's important, Prince Regent?"
Bei Xiuyan carefully took out the silk handkerchief and wiped the spoon carefully, "The most important thing now is you."
Shen Ruzhou looked a little dazed when he was handed the spoon from the Northern Xiu Banquet.
Just now, before Beixiu served her Tremella and Snow Pear Soup, he also wiped the bowl for her.
They just had dinner together a few times, but he actually remembered such a small thing?
In Shen Ruzhou's hand was a spoon that still had the warmth of Beixiu Yan's fingers. In the past, she had only felt that Beixiu Yan's city was very deep and cold, which always made people feel intimidated.I didn't expect him to have such a careful side.
She carefully picked up the soup in front of her and drank it, then glanced at the dishes on the table with her peripheral vision. The table was full of her favorite food.
"I like what you have prepared. Thank you for your trouble, Prince Regent."
When Shen Ruzhou said this, he smiled gratefully, "The regent's men are really good at doing things. They even found out what I like and sent them to me specially."
"This king had people prepare it."
Bei Xiuyan personally gave Shen Ruzhou a piece of food. His voice was indifferent, and his deep eyes captured Shen Ruzhou's gaze. "Anyone with eyes knows what you like to eat."
