Chapter 77: Merciful and Kind

  Niu Zhenghong followed the teacher's gaze to the desk by the window, but found no one behind it. He furrowed his brow and thought: "What bad timing! Could Wang Ping'an have gone to the toilet? I, a dignified governor, actually have to wait for a student to use the restroom - this is simply absurd!"

  Fortunately, the teacher reacted quickly and turned around with a smile: "Sir, are you looking for Wang Pingan? He had something at home and left early!"

  Niú Zhèng Hóng let out a sigh of relief, fortunately it wasn't to the toilet, and he hadn't planned on showing respect to his inferiors. If he had been waiting outside the study for a student who smelled bad, that would have been a big loss of face, and would have been talked about in a way that wouldn't be easy to hear! He asked: "Is there something going on at his home, do you know?"

  This teacher is not Cheng Zhou, and today is the first time he has met Wang Ping'an. He doesn't even know Wang Ping'an's background, but now that he sees the Governor personally arriving, he thinks Wang Ping'an must be a younger relative of the Governor!

  He hastily said: "Ah, I should congratulate you, sir! Your family has given birth to a young man like Ping An, it's truly good fortune. Today, someone came and said that many citizens want to give him couplets, they have already arrived at his house, so Ping An has returned home. This is a good thing, how can I stop him?" After thinking for a moment, he added: "Could it be that you also received the news, so you specially came to pick him up and take him back home together?"

  Niu Zhenghong did not respond, and instead hummed in agreement. He thought to himself: "Could it be that I still have to go to his house to find someone? Alas, no wonder colleagues don't like going undercover, it's really troublesome!"

  He just casually responded with a "hmm", but to others, the implication was vastly different! Zhao Bi and Lu Xiu exchanged a glance, thinking: "We always thought Wang Ping'an was just the son of a rural wealthy family, but unexpectedly he has such a deep background, worthy of being called the number one in Xuzhou!"

  Other students were also surprised, could it be that Wang Ping'an is a relative of the governor? Why hadn't they heard about it before? What a loss, what a loss, to not have made friends with him at the first opportunity!

  Zhao Bi reacted the fastest, dashing out and shouting: "Sir, congratulations on having a good young man like Wang Xian in your family! I'm his sworn brother, named Zhao Bi. Today, the person who came to report the good news is still me, replacing him to reward the people with money."

  Lu Xiu quickly reacted, rushing forward and shouting: "Sir, I am Lu Xiu, also a sworn brother of Wang Xian's. We once made an oath to live and die together... I once accompanied my father to visit your mansion, do you remember me?"

  Niu Zhenghong thought to himself, "What kind of bird is this? You even want me to remember you, I'm not even interested in remembering your father, why should I remember you?" But on his face, he wore an even brighter smile and nodded, saying, "Hmmm, it seems that the two of you are also exceptional individuals, otherwise Ping An wouldn't have befriended you!"

  He casually said a polite phrase, but didn't take it seriously. He turned around and whispered to Chang Qingfeng: "Let's go to his house." After that, he left without wasting time chatting with the students.

  When a minor figure says something, others may or may not listen. But when a major figure speaks, others not only listen but also ponder the meaning behind the words! Zhao Bi and Lu Xiu were not willing to let this opportunity pass, so they called out: "Sir, are you going to Wang Xian's house? We'll accompany you!"

  The students behind seemed to have thought it over and decided that making friends with Wang Ping'an was a great idea. Who among us isn't outstanding? With a loud whoosh, everyone rushed out of the school together, determined to accompany Shi Sheng to Wang Ping'an's house, not caring whether Niu Zhenghong was annoyed or not!

  As the saying goes, those with thick skin can eat their fill, while those with thin skin cannot. At this time, talking about dignity is what a big fool would do. Looking around, the people in the book hall... The book hall is already empty, who among the people in the book academy is a big fool?

  "The little one also accompanied the grown-up to go..." The teacher ran at the back of the crowd!

  Just a moment later, Qiu Wenpu and his son Qiu Tingxuan appeared hastily, they heard the old servant's words, both were frightened, hurried out to ask the person who came to report, what happened!

  After passing through the school hall, I found it empty and deserted. Not only had all the students run away, but even the teacher was nowhere to be seen!

  Qiu Tingxuan hastily said: "Father, it seems that man was telling the truth. Look, everyone in the academy has fled!"

  Qiu Wenpu was also bewildered, unable to figure out what had happened. He thought to himself: "Even if I'm in trouble, my subordinates wouldn't run away so quickly, would they?"

  As they walked further ahead, not far away, a student rushed out of the Ming Suan Ke Shu Tang. The student was limping and running with a slight hobble. Qiu Tingxuan hastily stopped him and asked: "What's wrong with your foot? And where are the others? Why is it only you left?" In his heart, he thought that this was indeed a case of true friendship being revealed in times of hardship. He had never paid much attention to this person before, but now, when disaster struck, there was only him left!

  Who would have thought that the student would say: "Just now when I came out of the house, I ran a bit too fast and twisted my foot..."

  Qiu's father and son were both stunned!

  Qiu Tingxuan angrily said: "Where have all these people run off to?"

  The student hastily said: "Just now, Governor Zhang personally came to see Wang Ping'an, but because Wang Ping'an had returned home ahead of time, Governor Zhang went to his house instead!"

  "It was actually the Governor of Qi who just arrived!" Qiu Xun's heart suddenly relaxed, realizing it was a joke, but this joke was a bit too big, almost scaring half his life away!

  Qiu Tingxuan asked: "Why go to Wang Ping'an's home?"

  The student heard it from someone else, and anything that goes through two people's mouths will change flavor as it is passed on. He said: "Wang Ping'an got married today, and the governor went to drink at the wedding!"

  Wang Ping'an got married today? How come he didn't tell us about it? Qiu asked Pu: "Let's go take a look, we can talk on the way, it's not necessarily a wedding!" The father and son left the academy together, took a carriage and rushed to Wulicun!

  Those with cars ride in cars, those with horses ride on horseback, and those with nothing rely on their two legs. With a loud noise, the governor's carriage takes the lead, followed by several hundred students, all of whom are going out of the city. The people on the street see this and can't help but ask, passing it from mouth to mouth, until finally it spreads that there is good news at the Wang family in Wuliu Village, and Governor Shi has gone to offer congratulations!

  What a lively scene, how can one not join in! As a result, more and more people followed from behind, until they left the city gate, there were actually two thousand people following! Wuli Village is not far away, after walking for a while, everyone arrived!

  No need to ask which household in the village is the Wang family's mansion, as soon as you enter the village, you see a large house in front of the village, surrounded by hundreds of people, beating gongs and drums, and hanging a plaque above the gate!

  Niu Zhenghong got off the carriage, stood outside the crowd, wanting to take a look inside, but found that due to his short stature, he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside, so he had to turn around and get back on the carriage, standing on it to peer inside.

  At the gate, many people were standing, an old couple was smiling and thanking the people, a young man beside them, with his fists clenched to his chest, also kept talking! And in front of them, several strong men were lifting up a big sign wrapped in red silk, ready to hang it above the gate.

  On the lintel are written four big characters: Merciful and compassionate heart!

  The common people are simple and honest, whoever treats them well, they know it clearly in their hearts, no need for others to tell them. Although Xuzhou City is big, there may be only one person who provides free medical treatment for the poor and does his best, that is Wang Pingan!

  From ancient times to the present, there have been countless people with excellent medical skills. However, only those who emphasize both medical skills and ethics are truly remembered by the world. The common people cannot bestow a plaque like "Magical Hands Reviving Spring" because Wang Ping'an did not hang out a signboard as a doctor and was not a real doctor. Instead, they bestowed "Compassionate Heart and Kindness" to express their gratitude towards Wang Ping'an.

  Niu Zhenghong looked at him in the car and nodded, saying: "It seems that there is no need to compare, the people's hearts are towards...". This word is not suitable for Wang Pingan, so he changed his words: "So many people say he is good, then it is good!"

  Chang Qingfeng said: "Yes, yes, Ping'an Xiao Shenyi is indeed famous for a reason!"

  Zhao Bi caught up and loudly shouted: "The Governor has arrived!"

  Lu Xiu was unwilling to be outdone by Fengtou. He stepped forward alone and shouted: "Come, let's wish the young divine doctor a happy birthday!"

  The bustling crowd suddenly fell silent, and the people turned their heads one after another! Niu Zhenghong stood with his back to the light, and the people had to squint their eyes to look at him, only feeling that Shi Shizheng was bathed in sunlight, radiant all around!

  Niu Zheng thought: "Under this official's governance, Xuzhou has produced such talent, what an achievement!"
