The person who opened his mouth to stop him, although he was a guard, was a guard on the outside shift. I didn't have a backer in the guard's office, and I was assigned this errand.

Although he was on duty in the palace before, he had seen the sixteenth elder brother from afar, but he couldn't really see it. In addition, now that the sixteenth elder brother is wearing regular clothes, this guard stopped him stubbornly, and he didn't mean to ask for a reward.

After all, outside, the banner of this palace guard is also easy to use most of the time.

The sixteenth elder brother had a black face, looked back at Cao Hao and said, "Cao Hao, the emperor still has this will?" ”

Cao Hao glanced at the guard, knew that he was pulling the banner, and said, "All the guards, this Prince Zhuang, is ordered to Qingyuan." I want to visit the person inside, so that I can report this matter to the emperor in detail in the excerpt. ”

When the whole guard heard the sixteenth elder brother call Cao Hao's name, he felt that something was wrong.

After hearing Cao Hao say the identity of the sixteenth elder brother, his face turned red and white, white and red, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he just let the courtyard door open and bowed to the side.

The sixteenth elder brother didn't look at him, and strode into the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the room where Brother Jiu was located, I was greeted by the pungent smell of urine. Although there is still a strong smell of alcohol mixed with it, it is still smoky.

In the house, in addition to the earthen kang, there is only a table, a stool and a bucket.

Brother Jiu was lying on the kang, his upper body was exposed, his face was red, his eyes were closed, and his lips were cracked because of the severe burning.

Holding a towel next to him, he wiped his body for Brother Jiu, it was Cao Hao's former servant and his current long-term companion Cao Man.

The identity of the ninth elder brother is different, and there is no will to come down, Cao Hao is not easy to arrange people casually, so he arranges for his henchman Cao Man to come over. In the previous diagnosis, I didn't dare to ask an outside doctor, but was seen by a doctor in the governor's palace.

After all, Brother Jiu is now in a circle, and every move must be done according to the order.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Cao Man put down the towel, got up and said, "Master, Sixteenth Master!" ”

"How's it going?" Cao Hao asked.

"I've wiped it twice, and it's still burning badly." Cao Man replied.

Cao Hao and the sixteenth elder brother glanced at each other and knew the danger.

Qingyuan is not the capital, and the prescription prescribed by the doctor is naturally not as good as the offerings in the Tai Hospital. But if Brother Jiu burns like this, can he wait for the imperial doctor in the capital?

The sixteenth elder brother was a little gloomy, walked to the side of the kang and sat down, picked up the towel that Cao Man put down, poured some wine from the wine bottle next to him, and wiped it down along the arm of the ninth elder brother.

After helping the ninth elder brother wipe his upper body, the sixteenth elder brother handed the towel to Cao Man, got up and said to Cao Hao, "Let's go." ”

Out of the courtyard, the sixteenth elder brother quickened his pace.

Cao Hao knew that the sixteenth elder brother was in a hurry to write an excerpt.

Although Cao Hao's excerpt has already sent people to the capital quickly, if the emperor doesn't take it seriously, then the ninth elder brother will die; The sixteenth elder brother also handed over the fold, and he could also let everyone in the capital know that the ninth elder brother was indeed dangerous.

Even if the emperor dislikes the ninth elder brother in his heart, he must take care of the sixteenth elder brother and save the hearts of his brothers.

In the Yin Hotel, there is paper and ink prepared.

The sixteenth elder brother waved it, but he did not exaggerate, only wrote what he saw and heard, and then called two palace guards and told them to return to Beijing quickly.

After doing this, the sixteenth elder brother let out a long breath and said to Cao Hao: "That's all I can do...... I remember when I was a child, there were unsightly minions who bullied me when I was young, and I didn't wait for it to my heart's content. was seen by him, and directly sent the slave to the Punishment Division...... Later, because of the succession, they were all like red-eyed chickens, and they couldn't wait to eat one by one, and the brotherhood faded......"

The sixteenth elder brother can still have a mercy for the ninth elder brother, but Cao Hao is not Maitreya.

He didn't pay much attention to whether Brother Jiu was alive or dead, but the guards guarding Brother Jiu came to tell him when Brother Jiu was so sick that he was very passive.

If Brother Jiu can survive now, it's fine, if he can't survive, if Yongzheng wants to find a scapegoat for the sake of "virtuous name", Cao Hao will have to bear the charge of "poor guarding", so he is a little anxious.

Seeing that the sixteenth elder brother was like this, he had to persuade: "Do your best, look at the destiny of heaven, and don't be too anxious about the sixteenth master." If the sixteenth master is also sick at this time, there will be no one to preside over the overall situation. ”

The sixteenth elder brother nodded and said, "That's all it can be!" ”

While the two were talking, a little servant came in and said, "Lord Wang, thank you for coming to see the Lord and waiting outside the courtyard." ”

The sixteenth elder brother was annoyed, where was he in the mood to deal with Xie Tianlai, glared and said, "Master doesn't have that kung fu, tell him to get out!" ”

The little guy went out in response, and the sixteenth elder brother couldn't help but complain to Cao Hao: "Fu Ruo, what's the matter with your governor's mansion, cats and dogs can come in and run around?" ”

Cao Hao rolled his eyes and didn't answer.

The reason why Xie Tianlai was able to enter the Governor's Mansion and go directly to the door of the Yin Hotel was the order of the sixteenth elder brother.

said that Cao Hao was busy, and he was amused by thanks, and it was good to relieve his boredom.

Cao Hao then gave Xie Tianlai the Governor's Mansion a waist card, making it cheaper for him to enter the Governor's Mansion...... Outside the Yin Hotel, Xie Tianlai trembled. After listening to the little girl's words, his face was even more pale and panicked.

He didn't dare to disobey the orders of the sixteenth elder brother, and left the Yin Hotel step by step. Before he could get out of the gate of the Governor's Palace, he saw someone chasing him and taking him away.

Thank God to know that the sixteenth elder brother is really tired of him.

When he left the Governor's Palace, he really wanted to cry without tears, and he really didn't know how to calm the anger of the sixteenth elder brother.

After turning around twice like a fly at the gate of the governor's mansion, he gritted his teeth and went to the prefect's yamen to find his "uncle" Zhu Zhilian for advice.

Zhu Zhilian listened to the reason, looked at Xie Tianlai, and was speechless.

This cheap brother-in-law, who is usually in the officialdom, is this set, giving silver to women. It's his cheap brother-in-law, who has also eaten his wine. However, he is not sensitive to the beauty.

"Let's wait, wait until the sixteenth master is angry. The sixteenth master has a noble status, what beauty has not been seen, and you still come to make this one? Another old bustard that the sixteenth master knew came out and hurt the sixteenth master's face, and he couldn't complain that the sixteenth master was annoyed. You don't have to worry too much, watching the sixteenth master act, not like a person with a small belly, waiting for two days, maybe he will forget it. Zhu Zhilian said.

When Xie Tianlai heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good, the little brother is really afraid of offending the sixteenth master." ”

Zhu Zhilian glanced at him and said, "You need to think twice about acting in the future." This time, even if you don't offend the sixteenth master, if you act like this, you will offend Lord Cao and the sixteen blessings. The sixteenth master confiscated people, and it was also your luck. Otherwise, the Sixteenth Master will bring people back to the Governor's Palace, and then take them to the capital later, Lord Cao and Sixteen Fujin may not complain about the Sixteenth Master, but they will remember you, the initiator. ”

Xie Tianlai was born in a businessman and had a clear mind, but his knowledge was limited, so he made this oolong. Hearing Zhu Zhilian say this, cold sweat came out on his forehead again......* Because the middle of the capital to Qingyuan is an official road, hurry up, and you can get to Beijing in a day and night.

On the afternoon of the third day after discovering the illness of the ninth elder brother, there was a decree in the capital, ordering the sixteenth elder brother and Cao Hao to ask for medical treatment, and the capital would send the imperial doctor down.

On Qingyuan's side, in order to reduce the fever of Brother Jiu, several catties of wine have been used. Rubbing your whole body can only last for an hour. Rao is like this, but he doesn't dare to stop.

I don't know that Brother Jiu hasn't taken a bath for a few months, and the sludge on his body is much cleaner after wiping it for a few days.

Although the will has arrived, Cao Hao and the sixteenth elder brother both know that the doctors in the Tai Hospital who have a little weight are all white-bearded. Even if you don't take a car, it takes three or four days to ride a horse to Qingyuan.

Finally had a will, and the name was justified, so Cao Hao invited all the famous doctors in Qingyuan City to consult with Brother Jiu.

The most important thing is to reduce the fever first, and the effect of alcohol wiping the body has become less and less.

After a few days of unconscious, the rice water was not exhausted, and he only poured a few times of ginseng soup to hang his life, but Brother Jiu still vomited more and swallowed less.

Even those who are beaten with iron can't stand it, not to mention that Brother Jiu has been sick several times in the past six months.

Everyone didn't dare to delay any longer, and after brainstorming, scraping, cupping, and sauna took turns all over again.

I don't know what worked, Brother Jiu's high fever turned into a low-grade fever, and his condition gradually calmed down, and he woke up once in the middle, and only said one sentence: "The cherries in Mentougou are ripe......"

The sixteenth elder brother was not in front of him at the time, and after hearing this sentence relayed, he sent someone to the fruit shop in the city to buy two catties of cherries and came back, asked someone to wash them, and placed them on the kang head of the ninth elder brother.

When Brother Jiu opened his eyes again, it was this red cherry.

He stared at the plate of cherries, with a smile on his face, but he couldn't even open his eyes, and he didn't have the strength to eat the cherries.

The sixteenth elder brother happened to be in front of him, and when he saw this, he asked someone to take gauze, and by himself, he wrung out a bowl of cherry juice at the bottom.

The ninth elder brother didn't seem to see the sixteenth elder brother, and his eyes only followed the plate of cherries.

The sixteenth elder brother took the cherry juice and went to the side of the ninth elder brother, and filled half a spoonful of cherry juice with a spoon and sent it to the mouth of the ninth elder brother.

Brother Jiu exerted his strength before he opened his mouth.

A lot of cherry juice flowed down the corners of his mouth, red and red, and it was ominous to watch.

"The cherries are ripe......" he muttered, closing his eyes and moving his lips slightly.

The sixteenth elder brother took another half spoonful of cherry juice and sent it to the ninth elder brother's mouth.

Brother Jiu opened his mouth, but it was getting harder and harder, and the cherry juice flowing down the corners of his mouth became more and more.

The sixteenth elder brother put down the bowl, took out the handkerchief, and wiped the corners of the ninth elder brother's mouth.

At this time, Cao Hao had already gotten the news, knew that Brother Jiu had woken up, and hurried over, and what he saw was this picture.

The cherry juice on the corner of Brother Jiu's mouth couldn't be wiped off, and Brother Sixteen's hand shook, his face showed a little horror, and he called out loudly: "Brother Jiu! ”

Cao Hao also saw that something was wrong, took two steps forward, and stood behind the sixteenth elder brother.

In the mouth of the ninth elder brother, what kept vomiting was not cherry juice, and then scarlet blood.

"Doctor Song, Doctor Bai come in......" Cao Hao was frightened, and hurriedly called a few doctors waiting outside to come in.

Hulala, several doctors came in from outside.

Brother Jiu's face has faded from the previous blue gray, revealing a little ruddy. When he opened his eyes, his gaze was clear, and it was no longer cloudy and distracted.

Among the several doctors, the eldest Doctor Song took a few steps forward, took Brother Jiu's wrist, looked at his face again, and then walked to Cao Hao's side and said in a low voice: "My lord, it's time......

Cao Hao also saw that Brother Jiu was returning to the light, and instructed Xiao Man to take a few doctors to avoid it first. Even he himself took a few steps back and moved away from Brother Jiu's line of sight.

Brother Jiu's gaze was still glued to the plate of cherries, his face was happy, and he said slowly: "Cherries, ripe ......"

"Ninth Brother......" When the sixteenth elder brother heard this, his heart was sour, and he said: "Ninth brother is relieved, the imperial doctor in the capital is about to arrive......"

Only then did the ninth elder brother's gaze shift from cherry to sixteenth elder brother, as if crying sadly, and said, "I am really a useless person...... Huang Ama is wise, and he must have seen that I was a waste...... That time in the upper study, Huang Ama would reward everyone with cherries, but he didn't reward me......"
