Dingbei Hou's doctor brother

Chapter 150 Chen Ji

He covered his chest and coughed a few times, then calmed down and looked at Lu Ziqing.

"Thank you."

Lu Ziqing wiped his face, picked up his robe and wrung out the water. A cold wind blew over him, and his body felt as if it was pierced by thousands of ice needles. He couldn't help but shiver.

He helped the boy up and told him, "Go home and change your clothes quickly. It's too cold and you'll catch a cold."

The boy was so cold that he couldn't stop shivering, gasping for air with a hissing sound. He walked two steps with his body hunched over and then stopped.

"So cold and so hungry."

"Then hurry home." Lu Ziqing supported him, "Where do you live?"

The young man seemed not to hear and continued to talk to himself: "Brother Fairy, can you take me to buy food?"

Fairy brother?

Lu Ziqing was stunned. It was the first time he heard someone call him like that. Moreover, the person's answer was irrelevant to the question.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to laugh or how to respond.

"I can buy you some food, but you need to change your wet clothes first. Where do you live? Did you come here alone? Or do you have servants with you?"

The young man half-lowered his eyes, thought seriously for a while, and spoke with a slight pause.

"Chang Wang went to buy roast chicken. Ding Gui and Tong Bao were just here. I wonder where they went?"

Lu Ziqing looked around a few times. People were coming and going around, and he didn't know where the three people he mentioned were. It was impossible for them to wait here with their bodies wet.

"Since someone followed you, then you should wait here. If you leave, they won't be able to find you. I'll go buy you something to eat."

As he finished speaking, he walked towards the stairs, his arm was suddenly grabbed, and he saw the young man saying.

"I can't find you."

"what?"

Lu Ziqing took a moment to react and felt that there was something indescribable different about this tall boy who was only a head shorter than him.

"What's your name? I'll come find you later."

"Chen Ji." The young man still held on, his clear eyes flashing with anxiety as he stared at Lu Ziqing. "I'll go with you."

"If you follow me, what will happen if your companions come and can't find you?" Lu Ziqing pushed his hand away, "Don't worry, I'll be there soon."

Chen Ji shook his head, but without saying anything, he grabbed him and walked up the stairs.

"I'm hungry, come up quickly."

Lu Ziqing looked at Chen Ji's straight back, and a bad thought flashed through his mind. He always felt that this man's speech was different from his appearance, like...

He hesitated in his heart, but the thought still remained in his mind, so he let the man drag him up to the street.

Even if I want to eat, I can't go there with my clothes wet.

He pushed the hand away from his wrist, and Chen Ji suddenly stopped and turned around, his expression innocent and serious.

"what happened?"

Lu Ziqing was helpless, "Let me take you to change clothes first."

It was not until he disappeared into the crowd and the pair of eyes in the pleasure boat in the middle of the river were withdrawn.

Yan Qian lowered the curtains and turned to face the table, where several ministers sat opposite him.

"Does Lord Yan know that man?" the Minister of Justice asked. "You've been staring at him."

Yan Qian glanced at the people present and said, "That man is the imperial physician recommended by Xiao Yan, Lu Ziqing."

"What? It's him?"

The assistant minister of the Ministry of War had bulging eyes, and looked fierce when he was a little serious. He said unhappily.

"That boy looks so weak and insincere, but he's no ordinary person. Since he came, he's made our lives miserable and we've suffered so much that we even have to be secretive when we find a girl."

Before the Meizhou incident, high-ranking officials of the imperial court were frequent visitors to various brothels.

Although there was a clear order prohibiting officials from visiting prostitutes, everyone agreed to do so as long as the emperor did not hear about it.

It’s not like today, where we have to bring it home secretly or to the girls’ residences, for fear of being seen.

"Who says it isn't?" The Minister of Works took a sip of wine and continued.

"In the past few months, many officials have been imprisoned, and everyone is in a panic. Even Wan Fengnian was not spared."

Speaking of this, the Minister of Justice smiled.

"You know what? I didn't expect Wan Fengnian and his son to be so extravagant. They had so many women to enjoy. They could have buried them with all the money they found. His death was not in vain."

"In the afternoon, the Imperial Guards went to Gao Wen and Pei Zhong's homes." Yan Qian said, "I wonder what unexpected things they will reveal. I'm afraid the Zhao King's branch will be cut off."

There was silence at the table, with everyone sighing. The Vice Minister of War chewed his meat and looked up at the Vice Minister of Justice.

"By the way, Old Tan, did you see the memorial he wrote impeaching Xiao Liang when you went to Wan Fengnian's house?"

"What memorial?" Tan Wei was stunned and asked him, "Why did he impeach Xiao Liang?"

Everyone present was looking at him, said Qian Bin, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War.

"A few days ago, I went to Duke Cheng's mansion and accidentally saw that he had a pair of blue and white porcelain vases with dragon patterns."

"Oh? Are you serious?" Tan Wei became interested. "Did you see clearly that it was a dragon pattern?"

"That's for sure." Qian Bin said.

"A pair of porcelain vases, one with a Chilong and the other with dragon patterns, were placed in the main hall. I figured Wan Fengnian would get one of his, but it never happened."

"What a missed opportunity." Yan Qian stroked his wine glass. "Had Wan Fengnian caught the Xiao family, he would have reported it to the emperor. Minister Tan didn't even see it. Where do you think he went?"

Several people looked at Tan Wei in tacit understanding, and he immediately remembered.

"Could it be that Zhang Tong took it away? I really didn't notice that."

"There is no one else except him." Yan Qian raised his glass to drink, put it down and glanced at the few people.

"Look at who the new commander of the Ningdong Iron Cavalry is? Isn't it Zhang Tong's son, Zhang Yin? Don't forget, Zhang Tong used to like the eldest daughter of the Lu family. The Lu and Xiao families are old friends, and Zhang Tong is familiar with them. That memorial must have fallen into Xiao Yan's hands."

Lu Ziqing took Chen Ji to a clothing store to buy new clothes. He chose a blue and black cross-collared, narrow-sleeved robe with delicate gold curling patterns peeking through the black gauze, shining faintly.

Compared to the brocade gentleman's suit he wore before, this one looked a bit more like a gangster.

The silver-black hairpin lifted up half of the long hair, and two strands of soft hair fell loosely at the end of the eyebrows and the corners of the eyes, highlighting the cold and arrogant bad boy spirit to the fullest, making him more mature and sexy.

If he didn't smile, he would look like a wealthy boss in the underworld, with the aura of being the best martial artist in the world, but the truth was revealed as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Brother Shenxian is good-looking."

Lu Ziqing's outfit was a very light blue, which looked like white from a distance. It was also chosen by Chen Ji.

The two men had great figures and looks. Standing at the door of the clothing store, they looked like disciples of an isolated sect traveling in the secular world. People passing by on the street looked at them.

Several young men walked into the store while looking at the two of them. The shopkeeper glanced at their backs at the door and smiled from ear to ear, calling them living signs.

Lu Ziqing glanced at the eyes of the people around him, pulled Chen Ji and walked towards the street. At this time, night fell and the lights on both sides of the street were bright.

He looked at the shops on both sides and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

There were too many snack shops, and Chen Ji found it difficult to choose. He pressed his fingertips lightly on his chin as he thought about it.

"Well... beef noodles, candied haws, kidney bean rolls, roast chicken, I want to eat them all."

“You all…”

Lu Ziqing turned his head and looked at him in disbelief. He was such a grown man, but he always spoke like a child.

"Have you finished eating all this?"

Chen Ji smiled slightly with the corners of his mouth and eyes, with an indescribable youth and sweetness, he said seriously.

"Ding Gui and Tong Bao were eating secretly. I saw them. They wouldn't give me any food, and Chang Wang doesn't like me either."
