039: Her life-saving grace
Xiao Ziyu calmly followed the Qiao family into the courtyard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The courtyard where Qiao Mianzhi lived was very spacious, and there were several pots of orchids under the porch.
Although it is summer, the orchids still bloom elegantly, and the oncoming wind also carries the mellow fragrance of orchids.
Inside the house, Qiao Mianzhi was holding the medicine bowl and frowned.
Seeing Xiao Ziyu walk into the house, he seemed to be relieved and put the medicine bowl on the small pestle on the side.
"You're here?" Qiao Mianzhi smiled, "Miss Seven, please take a seat!"
He had just woken up from a coma, and now he still had a headache, and he was leaning on a large pillow embroidered with bluegrass.
When he saw Xiao Ziyu, he barely cheered up a little.
After Xiao Ziyu sat down, he said, "Excuse me Fourth Young Master!"
"How can it be disturbing, Miss Seven, you are too outside. Qiao Mianzhi smiled, "I should have gone to the Xiao Mansion to thank Miss Qi in person after my body recovered, but I didn't expect you to come to visit me in person!"
His thin lips were not half bloody, and his face was full of guilt at this time.
Xiao Ziyu was silent, and only after half a ring did she say, "I took your silver!"
Qiao Mianzhi was stunned when he heard this.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered that day Xiao Ziyu had said, 'I accepted your silver, so naturally I want to concoct all the medicine.' Otherwise, the money is too hot!'
He laughed at the thought of this, and his beautiful eyebrows and eyes were curved like crescent moon in the night sky.
Chu Qing and Chu Xue, who were standing behind Xiao Ziyu, retreated from the house to the outside of the house under the signal of the people under the Qiao family.
Before leaving, Chu Qing couldn't help but glance at Qiao Mianzhi more.
This man, even if he is sick, is so dazzling.
It's a pity that he was born as a businessman and his status is not high. Otherwise, it is a good match with your own lady.
Inside the house, Qiao Mianzhi smiled enough before he said, "Miss Seven, you are really interesting, did you already guess what would happen in the county town?"
If this is really the case, then Xiao Ziyu is inevitably too powerful.
If there is no mention from Xiao Ziyu, he is afraid that he will really have no return.
The county town is dangerous.
"Guess some, not much!" Xiao Ziyu said, "However, after all, it was an omission!"
In her memory, the county town never seemed to be peaceful. Especially after Mrs. Gu's accident, she affirmed this.
After the drought, there will be a lot of **** in the county town, and in the end, it even alarmed the imperial court.
Qiao Mianzhi raised his eyebrows, "What did you miss?"
When he woke up from his coma, he wondered what was going on. Why did the vicious bandits who robbed him hesitate to retreat after seeing his face? Moreover, they only snatched the silver and did not touch the medicinal herbs, let alone hurt his life.
It's weird, it's weird.
Xiao Ziyu said, "You're injured!"
Qiao Mianzhi was stunned when he heard this.
The omission that Xiao Ziyu just said actually meant that he was injured?
This one...... In fact, I really don't blame Xiao Ziyu, it's because he is too careless.
After the robbers robbed him of the silver, he reluctantly rode after him, but he strayed into the trap and fell unconscious. If he hadn't taken matters into his own hands to recover the money, he wouldn't have been hurt.
Now that I think about it, how could he have such courage at that time to dare to catch up alone.
I was really dizzy.
"This is my own carelessness!" Qiao Mianzhi said helplessly, "It's just that I still don't understand, why Miss Seven, you know that it will be safer to take the north path than the official road!"
The road from the county seat to the north of Gusu is rugged, and it is far less smooth and stable than the official road.
Because of Xiao Ziyu's instructions, he did not choose to take the official road, but took the path to the north.
It's just that after he woke up, he heard a message from his subordinates, saying that many people on the official road were robbed and killed on the same day, and there was no way to live.
Among them, there is also a businessman who Qiao Mianzhi knows.
The **** of the county town will be so terrifying, and he only knew about it after returning to Gusu Qiao's Mansion.
So, how did Xiao Ziyu not know the prophet?
Xiao Ziyu raised his head and looked calm, "Actually, now from the county town back to Gusu, no matter which road it is, it is very dangerous. The reason why I let the fourth young master take the path to the north to come back is actually because the fourth young master told me that the north side is safer!"
Qiao Mianzhi looked at Xiao Ziyu puzzled, "What did I say?"
When did he say that.
He doesn't even remember it.
Xiao Ziyu explained, "My aunt's accident happened because there were displaced people from the county town near Hanshan Temple! No one wants to leave their hometown, unless they really can't live anymore." Therefore, it can be seen that the drought in the county town this year is more severe than usual. ā
"Before, I asked the Fourth Young Master where there are more fields in the Qiao family in the county town!" she continued, "The Fourth Young Master told me that there are more fields in the north! This is what the Fourth Young Master told me that the north side is safer!"
Qiao Mianzhi frowned.
He had to admit that Xiao Ziyu was indeed powerful.
From the matter of Mrs. Gu's second wife, it was guessed that **** had happened in the county town.
However, he still didn't understand, he said, 'Qiao's family has more fields in the north', so why is it safer to be in the north.
The tenants never escorted him.
He looked at Xiao Ziyu with a confused expression.
Xiao Ziyu said again, "I once told the fourth young master that after you arrive in the county seat, you have to go to Zhuangzi in person to tell the tenants that this year's rent is completely exempt. If you exempt them from taxes, you won't have to worry about your life!"
Qiao Mianzhi stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
Xiao Ziyu said so much, but he still didn't understand the reason.
After half a ring, he shook his head, "I...... I still don't understand!"
"Actually, it's very simple!" Xiao Ziyu still explained gently, "The tenant farmers have no harvest this year, and they don't want to leave their hometown, and if they want to continue to live, they can only become mountain bandits." In fact, many of the mountain bandits who robbed the fourth young master were local tenants. If you have exempted them from their taxes and have not driven them into a corner, they will naturally think of your goodness and take only the money without hurting your life!"
At this point, Qiao Mianzhi suddenly realized.
That's how it is......
No wonder, Xiao Ziyu told him before that he must go to Zhuangzi in person to tell the tenants that this year's tax is exempted.
The county seat is located in Zhuangzi in the north, and many of them belong to the Qiao family.
When the tenants saw him, they made a note of his appearance.
And he returned to Gusu from the north road, which was naturally safer than taking the official road.
The tenants were forced to become bandits to rob money and make ends meet, but they also remembered that he was exempt from rent and tax, and only robbed him of the silver, but did not hurt his life.
If he hadn't insisted on catching up, he would never have been hurt.
Thinking of this, a gleam flashed in Qiao Mianzhi's eyes, "You guessed this, so you specially instructed me that the medicinal herbs and silver should be separated?"
"Yes!" Xiao Ziyu nodded, "What they want is silver, and when they get it, they will leave." Fourth Young Master, the tax you exempted is the reason for saving your life and medicinal materials!"
When Qiao Mianzhi heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
He never figured out why.
After listening to Xiao Ziyu, he felt that it was terrible.
After hearing that his grandfather's legs and feet could be cured, he was anxious to go to the county town to get medicinal herbs.
He was determined, and no one could dissuade him.
Xiao Ziyu probably knew this, so he came up with a way to save his life.
If he didn't obey Xiao Ziyu's instructions, if he made a wrong step without authorization, then he would probably not be able to lie on the bed properly at this time!
This feeling made Qiao Mianzhi feel an inexplicable feeling.
He looked up and carefully looked at Xiao Ziyu sitting in front of him.
Her figure is petite, but her face is very beautiful, and she looks full of aura, giving people a very comfortable and reassuring feeling.
is obviously a little girl, how can she be so careful.
Is it him? or something else.
He was silent for a long time before he said to Xiao Ziyu sincerely, "Thank you Fourth Miss for saving your life!"
