Xiao Yuanzheng felt much more at ease. After thinking for a while, he said: "We have to send someone to Luozhou. This is the key point for the Imperial Medical Office. If it is the blame, we cannot take the blame. Otherwise..."

Xiao Yuanzheng frowned and thought for a while, then finally looked at Zhou Man and said, "You and Zheng Gu should discuss it and let him bear the burden. Both the Imperial Medical Office and the Imperial Hospital cannot do without you at this time."

Zhou Man was a talented person, and both the emperor and the prince liked her very much. With her around, the ministers in the court still had some scruples about the Imperial Medical Office and the Imperial Hospital. Even if Zheng Gu was her disciple, he would not abandon her.

Xiao Yuan was frowning and thinking, if Zheng Gu was really accused, what method would he use to survive next week?

Man Bao said: "The top priority is to send people to Luozhou, Xiao Yuanzheng, I..."

"You can't," Xiao Yuanzheng said directly: "You are Zheng Gu's master, you can't participate in this matter."

Not only did Xiao Yuanzheng not want to let her get involved, he was also unwilling to let her get more involved.

Man Bao simply asked directly, "Then who is going?"

Xiao Yuan was just deep in thought, his eyes slid over Imperial Physician Liu, and finally landed on Imperial Physician Lu.

Dr. Lu: ...I don’t want to go on a business trip, not at all.

He only raised a little meat after returning from the Liaodong battlefield. The Chinese New Year is about to come, so why is he on a business trip?

However, in this matter, Imperial Physician Lu looked at Zhou Man and then at Imperial Physician Liu. At this moment, Imperial Physician Zheng from Xiu Mu also arrived in a hurry.

The two people's eyes met, and Doctor Lu sighed, as if no one else was suitable except him, so he could only nod.

Xiao Yuanzheng said: "Bring Dr. Xiao Tan with you."

Man Bao nodded to Dr. Zheng who came in, stood up and saluted Dr. Lu, "Then we have Dr. Lao Lu on our trip to Luozhou."

She said: "Please try your best to find out the truth and save Zheng Gu."

Only then did Dr. Zheng know that the candidate to go to Luozhou had been decided. He quickly followed Zhou Man and bowed, and said with a guilty look on his face: "There is Dr. Lao Lu."

Xiao Yuan stood up and said, "I have to go to Dali Temple. We'll wait for Luozhou to report this matter. It's better for us to take action first."

Man Bao nodded.

Xiao Yuanzheng called Zhou Man together. She was eloquent and quick-witted, and she was also familiar with Dali Temple - she had been in prison and had been in the lobby of Dali Temple.

Manbao took his things and left the palace with Xiao Yuanzheng to go to Dali Temple.

Officials in the imperial city cannot gallop. If they ride on horseback, they can only stroll forward slowly. It is better to walk.

So the two of them walked there. On the way, Manbao asked Xiao Yuanzheng, "I remember that the snow disaster in Luozhou was not mentioned at the last great court meeting. Did your Excellency hear about it at the small court meeting?"

Xiao Yuanzheng thought for a while and then shook his head, "I haven't heard of it, but it's been quite cold in Xiazhou and the grassland this year. Xiazhou has come back to report the snow disaster at a discount, and applied for food and medicinal materials for relief to the herdsmen on the grassland."

Man Bao said: "There was a slight drought in the Central Plains in spring and summer. At that time, the old farmers in Zhuangzi said that there would be a snowstorm in the Central Plains this year."

"Qin Tian Jian also issued an early warning. I just checked the account book that Zheng Gu brought back. He has been purchasing cold and epidemic prevention medicinal materials in an orderly manner since August."

Xiao Yuanzheng immediately asked: "Is the amount large?"

"It's not big," Zhou Man said, "but the time span is long, and the little things add up. In August, September, October, three months, he purchases a batch on the tenth day of each month, especially in September and October.

In March, he purchased three batches of medicinal materials for cold protection and epidemic prevention. I have seen the quantity, and those medicinal materials are not only enough for the people in Luoyang, but also for other counties in Luozhou."

"But the Medical Department is only in Luoyang."

"If poor people come to Luoyang to seek medical treatment, even if they are from other counties, the Medical Department does not stipulate that they are not allowed to receive treatment."

Xiao Yuan was thinking thoughtfully, "Do you suspect that the local pharmacy is responsible?"

Man Bao paused and shook his head, "I don't know. Drug stores and medical clinics are places where people save lives and heal the wounded. Although they are also merchants, when human lives are involved, in my impression, drug stores and medical clinics are actually more conscientious than other businesses.

.”

Being ruthless will also kill people. Xiao Yuanzheng silently answered in his heart.

He glanced at the young Zhou Man, but did not say these words.

However, he didn't think that drug stores and medical clinics alone would dare to do such a thing, provided that Zheng Gu was really wronged.

The letter said that the people from the Luoyang County Government left very quickly. Zheng Gucai came to pick up people after seeing the victims who had problems. Obviously, the Luoyang County Government was well prepared.

Zheng Gu is not an ordinary doctor, he is an official of the Imperial Medical Office. He can escape the monks but cannot escape the temple. Why are the people of Luoyang County Government so anxious?

Xiao Yuanzheng moved faster and urged Zhou Man, "Hurry up. It's useless for us to think too much about this kind of thing. We'd better tell the people at Dali Temple and let them investigate."

He paused and then said: "I still have to go to the Yushitai."

If Luozhou conceals the snow disaster and fails to report it, this is also a crime, and the Yushitai must know about it.

Man Bao nodded, so he and Xiao Yuanzheng first went to Dali Temple. After reporting the case, they got their receipt and then went to the Yushitai.

Because of Zhou Man's reasons, Mr. Old Tang even received them personally.

After sending the people out, Mr. Old Tang turned around and ordered his servant, "Let someone go to Dali Temple to get the account books left by Zhou Man and copy them into a file."

The waiter was stunned for a moment and then asked: "Now?"

Didn't Mr. Zhou just say that the account books were left in Dali Temple? I'm afraid the people in Dali Temple haven't seen them yet.

Mr. Old Tang nodded and said: "Right now, you take two clerks over there, and you and the people from Dali Temple will copy two copies and put them in the file. The originals will be sealed and you will bring back one copy after checking them."

The waiter was stunned, immediately agreed, turned around and went out to look for someone.

At this time, Bai Shan just saw Mr. Tang who had returned from the scene.

It was so cold that he just got off the horse and his face was stiff. He took the hot towel handed by the attendant and wiped his face, then looked at Bai Shan and said, "Aren't you on vacation today? Come and see me.

What happened?"

Bai Shan glanced at his entourage.

Mr. Tang waved to them and took Bai Shan to his study, leaving only Mingli outside to watch the door, "Let's talk."

Bai Shan asked curiously: "Is there something wrong with Luozhou's officialdom?"

Master Tang was confused, "Why do you ask this?"

Bai Shan then told the story about Zheng Gu being imprisoned.

Before he could talk about the account books, Mr. Tang already felt that something was wrong, "You arrested him as soon as something happened?"

"yes."

Mr. Tang touched his chin and thought, "Someone is not happy that the Medical Department has taken root in Luozhou."

Officialdom has its own set of rules, especially local officialdom. Bai Shan has never been in local officialdom. Although he feels there is a problem, he doesn't know how big the problem is, but Mr. Tang knows.

This problem is too common.

There are disaster victims who have problems taking medicines from the medical department. According to local rules, the safest way is not to investigate immediately, but to work with the local medical department to diagnose and treat the victims who have problems, and to appease the people, and then to find people.

The problem, as for the prosecution, was reported to the capital, and two months passed.

This kind of case involving two departments can only be investigated by Dali Temple or Yushitai in the capital. If the two departments cannot spare the manpower, officials from the Ministry of Punishment and even Jingzhao Mansion can also be seconded.

, but it is absolutely not allowed for local people to interrogate others themselves.

Unless it is an urgent and major case, such violation of rules can easily lead to an unjust, false or wrongful conviction.
