Chapter 948 You are really willing to
General Huo was the first group to leave Yuzhou Prefecture as he escorted Xiao Hengshan's body back to Beijing. Duke Weiguo was preparing for the second group to leave.
However, his son and daughter-in-law were getting married soon, and he, as a father, could not attend, after all, the old lady was in charge of the Duke's Mansion, but the groom could not be absent.
Otherwise, wouldn’t the daughter-in-law be laughed at in private?
The Duke's Mansion is not the kind of place that would mistreat their daughter-in-law!
So, after much thought, the Duke of Weiguo consulted with Xu Xing. He stayed to handle the affairs of Yuzhou Prefecture, while Xu Xing escorted all the officials, big and small, who had been arrested in Yuzhou Prefecture back to the capital.
These people will all die after returning to Beijing!
"Dad, leave the escort mission to Jing Lei and the others. I have to leave first."
If I follow the main force back to Beijing, by the time they get back, the opportunity will be gone.
Duke Weiguo waved his hands quickly: "Father knows, but nominally you have to be in charge, do you understand?"
Xu Xing understood his father's good intentions in an instant, and nodded, "Thank you for your advice, Dad. Although the Li family has been arrested, there are many people involved with the Li family, and there is no guarantee that some people will not take desperate measures."
It would be different if Xu Xing personally escorted the prisoners back to Beijing, and the Xu family army escorted them all the way.
In this way, we can also guard against those with ulterior motives and reduce the risk of Xu Xing returning to Beijing alone.
"What's the point of saying these things between father and son?"
Duke Weiguo smiled and patted his son's shoulder.
My son has grown up and is a very outstanding person. The poison in his body has been cured and he is about to get married. I can rest in peace even if I die.
The father and son were connected by heart. Duke Wei was just thinking about the poison when he heard Xu Xing ask, "Dad, how are you feeling lately?"
"same as usual."
The Duke of Wei smiled.
Xu Xing felt relieved after hearing this, but he still said, "When I get back, I'll ask Hao'er if there is any other solution. Relying on women to delay the onset of the poison is not a long-term solution."
He has lived for most of his life and has lived enough, so he doesn't care about these things anymore.
Besides, the women he dated were all willing, and he never forced anyone.
Duke Weiguo did not have any psychological burden in this matter, as they both got what they needed.
"Well, let it be."
Zhang Zhongjing wanted to say something but hesitated, but when Duke Weiguo stared at him before he left, he knew better and finally didn't say anything.
After Xu Xing sent the Duke of Weiguo away, he did not ask Zhang Zhongjing about his father's situation, but continued to work hard and handle official business.
Zhang Zhongjing started packing.
Since the Duke is willing to stay here, he will naturally follow the Prince back to the capital. Anyway... he only knows how to practice medicine and save lives. He really knows nothing about the arrangements of officials and the comfort of the people.
On August 22, Xu Xing handed over all his official duties to his father and set off on his journey.
Zhang Zhongjing, who was left behind, looked at the prince who had already run away with a look of despair on his face. He wanted to return to Beijing, okay?
Jing Lei was preparing to set off tomorrow. After seeing Xu Xing off, he saw Zhang Zhongjing looking listless, so he nudged him with his elbow and asked, "Why, are you reluctant to leave?"
Zhang Zhongjing glanced at Jing Lei, took out a stack of silver bills from his arms and stuffed them into his hands.
"What are you doing?"
Jing Lei is not so narcissistic as to think that Zhang Pi Xiu will give him money to spend.
Zhang Zhongjing murmured, "What else can I do? Of course I'll add some makeup to that girl!"
If I didn't have an important responsibility, why would I entrust Jing Lei, the ice cube, to him?
Jing Lei counted the money and shook his head, saying, "Ten thousand taels, you are really willing to spend it!"
