Chapter 29 Discerning the Times

After the stove was dried, Xiao Yu boiled all the surgical instruments, boiled a lot of soft cloth to dry, and wiped the inside of the wooden box to eliminate the poison, and then received everything into the box.

"The first first aid kit......" Xiao Yu patted the box and sighed, took a cinnabar pen and drew a cross on the box.

"That's right." Xiao Yu suddenly remembered something, and called Bai Ling and said, "Go and get a hundred taels of silver and give it to Doctor Qin." Bai Ling was about to leave, and Xiao Yu hurriedly shouted again: "Let's take two hundred taels." โ€

Doctor Qin was reluctant to accept the money, but he couldn't help but give it. Looking at the fine process of this set of instruments, it is also appropriate to give more.

"Got it, girl." Bai Ling responded with a crisp sound and jumped out of the door.

Xiao Yu continued to ponder his medicine kit. There are only cutting tools in it, there are no sewing tools, and the needle can be replaced with an embroidery needle, but what about the thread?

There is a record of mulberry thread in "Medical Heart Prescription", it should not be difficult to do, he can make some self-made to try.

Bai Ling went out to deliver money, and didn't come back until the afternoon, so he ran to Xiao Yu in a panic and said, "Girl, do you know? I've heard that something big is happening out there! โ€

"What did you inquire about again, Baidi?" Xiao Yu smiled and glanced at Bai Ling, not taking it seriously.

But I didn't expect that this time Bailing's news was not a trivial matter in the back house, but really a "national event".

"I heard that there are wars in several counties not far from our Huaiqian, and many people have died! It's scared to death! Bai Ling patted his chest and said.

"War?" Xiao Yu was stunned. Since the awakening, the world has been unfolding in front of him a peaceful and prosperous scene, and the current dynasty has lasted for hundreds of years, and the imperial power has been passed down from generation to generation, and the foundation is solid, and there is no sign of the last generation. How can you say that a war is a war? It's still in such a rural place near Huaiqian.

Xiao Yu frowned and said, "Do you know who is fighting?" โ€

Bai Ling's eyes widened and said: "I heard that they are all croppers, and they took kitchen knives and hoes and beat them to the county office, killing a lot of officials!" โ€

Could this situation be a peasant uprising?

For the first time since waking up, Dr. Siu really felt that he was in a difficult situation.

He didn't find it difficult to deal with things in the back house, but if the world was chaotic, it would really be inferior to the Taiping Dog.

Bai Ling continued: "Later, the officials of Beihuai Mansion sent troops to fight back and killed those who rebelled. She shuddered, "The people who came from there said that the blood was flowing and the land was stained red!" โ€

Xiao Yu was a little distracted, and Bai Ling hurriedly pulled his sleeve.

"Girl? Are you scared? It's all my fault, I shouldn't have told these things in front of the girl. โ€

Xiao Yu shook his head: "I'm fine." Bailing, you will inquire more about the outside affairs in the future, and you will sue me no matter what happens. โ€

The people have always been the most easily satisfied, and as long as they have a bite to eat and can live, they will be content with the status quo.

If the people are all reversed, then what will the officials of this court be corrupted?! If the root cause of this uprising is not removed, it will only sow the seeds for an even larger outbreak next......

"This Li Fangming is too bold and reckless! Hundreds of people were slaughtered! A rough black palm slammed into the cave wall, sending a cloud of dust down the man's head and face.

"Lao Jiu, what are you doing?! The prince is still here. Someone complained.

Sitting in the depths of the cave and surrounded by a group of plainclothes guards in the center was the old prince who appeared in the monk's room of the White Horse Temple.

The patriarch pressed his hands and signaled everyone to be calm.

"Li Fangming is the prefect of Beihuai, and it is within his authority to suppress civil unrest. I can't blame him either. โ€

"The government forced the people to oppose the people, and they had to rebel!" Lao Jiu, who was tall and strong, said angrily, "These people were forced to live by his Li family, so they had no choice but to rise up, and now they have been slaughtered by his Li family in the name of quelling the chaos!" In this way, you can still report to the emperor! What kind of bullshit court is this, what kind of bullshit world! After speaking, he slapped his palm on the mountain wall again, and sighed helplessly.

"The people of the Li Party even dare to hunt down and kill the prince, and it is not surprising that they will slaughter the people." A young guard who was guarding the patriarch's side said, "The Li family took advantage of the power of Concubine Li to form a party in the court, and most of the officials were actually the prophet Li Guozhang and then knew the Son of Heaven. If it weren't for Fang Xiang's single-handedness, this court would have been covered by the Li family a long time ago. If you can't change anything, what's the use of holding the mountain wall here to vent?! โ€

"Seventh, ninth, needless to say." The patriarch closed his eyes and recuperated, and softly stopped his subordinates from continuing to argue, "You only have one night's rest, and you have important things to do tomorrow." โ€

This civil unrest is not accidental. Li Yonghui, the brother of Li Guifei, has been amassing wealth under the rule of Wan'an Province since he became the political envoy of Wan'an Province, and he is not satisfied with the wanton expropriation, and even recruits mountain bandits to rob the Ming Dynasty. The people of Wan'an Province have long been miserable, and this time the mediocre county commander of the neighboring county came up with a way to scavenge more oil and water for himself, which finally became the last straw, forcing the people to finally rise up.

The patriarch Wang Ye came to secretly investigate Li Yonghui's criminal evidence, and since he came to Wan'an, he has been chased and killed several times, but the clues found in his hands so far are chatting.

When the emperor favored Li Guifei, the daughter of the Li family, even the queen monk and the young prince had to be careful to survive, not to mention others. Li Yonghui's methods, except for colluding with the mountain bandits and not crossing the clear road, the other tricks and exorbitant taxes were all reported to the emperor to obtain the holy parable, and they were not handled at all. At present, only by catching those mountain bandits can it be regarded as ironclad evidence.

"Lord, even if we find evidence and present it to the emperor, can the emperor, who has long been dazzled by beauty, take care of us?" Lao Jiu was still uneasy, "When Li Guifei said a word, Li Dang casually instructed a few dogs in the court to reverse black and white, but I am afraid that our efforts will be in vain." โ€

"Shut your mouth, if you don't speak, no one will know that you are dumber than a pig." Lao Qi glanced at him, the patriarch didn't speak, and the other brothers wouldn't pay attention to him, so he made a tall man with a big temper so angry that he jumped on the spot, but he was helpless.

Xiao Yu didn't know about the court situation, but he could also get a glimpse of it from Bailing's inquiry, and knew that there was probably a family surnamed Li who was very powerful and harmed the people everywhere.

Of course, in Bailing's mouth, the Li family was not so unsightly, but still had a bit of longing.

"I heard that the house of the Li Mansion in Xuanjing is bigger than the palace, the floor is paved with gold, and the girls and wives of the Li family wear better clothes and jewelry than the queens in the palace, and they don't have to walk anywhere by themselves." Bai Ling's face yearns for authenticity.

Even in such a remote small county, there are rumors about the Li family, it seems that this Li family is very arrogant, and the emperor doesn't even care? Most of the time he is a faint king.

Xiao Yuda secretly speculated against himself.

But he didn't expect that Bailing had more rebellious news waiting for him: "The daughter of the Li family is also the most favored mother in the palace, and Concubine Li's son is the emperor's favorite eldest son." If the queen did not give birth to a concubine back then, the eldest prince would become the crown prince. โ€

Xiao Yu's eyelids jumped, is it really okay to talk about the prince like this......

But it turns out that the root is here, another Da already.

Bai Ling suddenly thought of something, and said happily: "By the way, Second Young Master Li is the Li family!" The girl saved the life of the second young master Li, wouldn't the Li family be polite to the girl in the future?! โ€

Xiao Yu was a little surprised: "Second Young Master Li is a member of the Li family?!" โ€

Bai Ling nodded again and again: "Second Young Master Li is the son of the prefect, and the Li prefect came out of the Li family in Xuanjing, and I heard that he is still a distant cousin with Concubine Li." โ€

The prefect of Beihuai Mansion is located in Huaiqian City, which is a few streets away from the county government, so Governor Li was sent to Huaiqian City from outside the capital to serve as the prefect.

Xiao Yu really didn't expect that the first person he saved in this world was actually a relative of Daji. He won't cause any butterfly effect and affect the change of dynasties in this world, right?!

"Where did you hear that?" Xiao Yu said curiously.

"It's all spread on the street, because Governor Li has made a great contribution this time, and many people know that Governor Li is actually the Li family!"

Xiao Yu nodded. Even the fact that the eldest prince should be the crown prince can be spread like this, and the Li family is really fearless. So what kind of natural beauty is Concubine Li, who can fascinate the monarch of a country so much that she doesn't even care about the country's social affairs?

Thinking of Feng Yunfei's banquet for the envoy of Moutai Hospital, then Mrs. Li also came to appreciate her face, could it be that Feng Yunfei still has a friendship with Governor Li? Further, Feng Yunfei is an official in the capital, and he often walks the palace curtains, so he should be on the line of the Li family. Feng Yunfei is just a somewhat cowardly man, Xiao Yu doesn't think he has such a great ability, he really has that much ability-

Feng Yunning, Anguo Mansion, Li family, eldest prince - Xiao Yu felt as if he had glimpsed a corner of the situation.

So the entire Feng family was simply pulled onto the traitor's thief ship by Feng Yunning and Feng Yunfei?! This even involves the battle for the storage position between the chief and the grandson.

Dr. Xiao, who has been circling in the back house since he woke up, seems to have suddenly opened a door in front of him, but the prospect behind that door is not a smooth road, but a stormy sea......

Now it is natural that Xiao Yu and Bailing are not the only ones who are talking about the affairs of Li Zhifu and the Li family, but they are all headlines in the entire Beihuai Mansion. But I don't know if it's natural or someone guides, the remarks that the eldest prince should be the prince are very loud.

In the courtyard, Li was inquiring about another matter.

"Qing'er, has Qiao Dalang's incident happened? Why hasn't any news gotten out at all? โ€

If the news doesn't spread, then what they have arranged will be meaningless.

Feng Zhaoqing said: "Mother, what's the hurry, let's wait and see, there is a bigger joke ahead." โ€

She didn't know what happened in the front hall that day, but when Feng Zhaoyu came back from the front hall, her body was a little wolf, and her clothes were wrinkled, as if she was still stained with some water.

The front hall is full of sons and gentlemen from inside and outside Huaiqian, no matter what happens to her outside, she is disgraced and thrown into the public. What face will she have in the future? Even if she is not locked up, no one will come to see her, let alone invite her, and she will not be trapped in this back house by then? It's not a mistake for Lu's entrustment.

Xiao Yu asked Bai Ling to find a few skillful maids these days and follow him to make mulberry thread. The so-called mulberry thread is a thin thread that uses the root bark of the mulberry tree to remove the yellow skin on the surface and processes it into a thin fiber with a long white and soft fiber layer inside.

After a week of busy work, several people worked together to make two jars of mulberry thread. Xiao Yu put the mulberry thread in the jar that had already been scalded and dried with boiling water, tied the mouth of the bottle tightly, and took a small jar with a bunch of thread and put it in his first-aid kit in case of emergency.

Xiao Yu thought that he should find a day to take a look at the Fang Clan.

Some time ago, he also thought that as long as he found a way to get a new household registration, he would leave the Feng family with the Fang family and continue to live with a different identity. I didn't expect the situation to be so dark and unclear, traitors are in charge, the people are not able to make a living, if you are an ordinary person, you are afraid that your livelihood will become a problem.

Besides, the situation of the Feng family, he is not at ease to leave Feng Zhaoqi alone in the Feng family. Even if the Lu family doesn't have bad intentions, this involves the matter of competing for the crown, who can be alone? He couldn't allow Feng Yunning to instruct Feng Zhaoqi to enter the officialdom in the future and act for the Li family and the tiger.

If he wants to restore his identity, he must restore his identity openly, protect him and protect the Fang clan as Feng Zhaoqi's elder brother.

Without waiting for Xiao Yu to find an opportunity to go to the family temple to see the Fang family, the Feng family had a distinguished guest come to the door again.

When the third old lady was joking with her grandchildren in Yiran Hall, the housekeeper suddenly passed in a sticker.

The third old lady opened it open, but sat up straight as if she was taken aback.

"Mrs. Lu? Are all in command of Lord Lu's family? The second daughter-in-law, who was sitting next to the third old lady, glanced at the sticker and said suspiciously: "His family has never had any friendship with us, why did he think of visiting us at this time?" โ€

Lord Lu served in the command of the capital, and when Feng Yunfei was still a small man, he was the biggest official who went out in Huaiqian City, where could the Feng family get the Lu family at that time.

This time, it is said that Lord Lu took his wife home to visit relatives and wanted to stay in Huaiqian City for a few days, why did he think of visiting their house?

Zheng, who was sitting in the hall, said with a smile: "What's so strange about this, what is the identity of our aunt and grandmother now?" He's a little fourth-grade official, don't you dare not come to pay a visit? โ€

The third lady glanced at Zheng not very happily, and only felt that this granddaughter-in-law really couldn't speak.

"Open the middle door and let Mrs. Lu's carriage in. Let's go out and greet us. The third old lady stood up as she spoke, several daughters-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to support her left and right, and a group of women walked towards the weeping flower gate together.

Mrs. Lu's carriage stopped when it reached the Hanging Flower Gate, and the first to get out of the carriage was a pretty-looking girl, with a pair of eyes looking straight behind the third old lady.

The girl is very lively, and she is not afraid of life, so she stepped forward directly and saluted with a smile: "The old lady is โ–กโ–ก good." โ€

The third old lady hurriedly called her up, with a kind smile on her face.

"This is Miss Lu, right? Don't be so polite, get up, and let me see. Alas, look, what a beautiful embryo, compared to my granddaughters. โ€

The daughter-in-law of the Feng family echoed on the side, Miss Lu looked around, pulled the third old lady and asked, "I don't know where Sister Feng is?" โ€

"Sister Feng?" The three old ladies looked at each other.

Feng Zhaoqing hid her handkerchief and chuckled: "It's all Sister Feng here, I don't know which Sister Feng Miss Lu is looking for?" โ€

Before Miss Lu could speak, Mrs. Lu had already hurriedly walked over and scolded: "Mingyue, don't be rude." He smiled at the third old lady again: "This child is spoiled by me." โ€

"Where, where." The third old lady still didn't know why she came to visit Fengfu, and she was puzzled in her heart, which did not prevent her from greeting warmly and thoughtfully.

"It's Sister Feng who went to the White Horse Temple, I heard that she is the eldest girl of your family." Lu Mingyue said on the side, "Sister Feng saved my life, I must thank her in person!" โ€

Lu Shi smiled and nodded this time, but the third old lady was shocked, when did Feng Zhaoyu save Miss Lu's life in the White Horse Temple? She didn't hear the wind at all.

Feng Zhaoqing, who was standing on the side, had a stiff face, and Zheng's face was even more angry and distorted, and he glared fiercely at his eldest daughter, whom he had always been proud of.

Didn't she say that she lost face in public at the White Horse Temple? She waited for so many days, just waiting for a Mrs. Lu to come to the door to thank that little slut?!
