Chapter 317: Evil

In fact, the silver is not not easy to use, the key is that this is not the Jingzhao Mansion where high-ranking officials and dignitaries gather, let alone Jiangnan and Yangzhou, where famous businessmen and magnates gather, but an inconspicuous small mountain village outside Ruzhou. The common people here don't even have much money, not to mention gold and silver. Gold and silver are high-end things, and you may not even have seen them.

At this time, China's circulating currency was still mainly money-making. Silver officially appeared on the currency stage, and it was not until hundreds of years later that silver from the Americas flowed in large quantities through ****** before it was used as a major currency. As for the present, gold and silver are not used at all, but it is only used by those who have money or power, and when they are unwilling to use silver tickets, they use it instead of money.

It's like a golden melon seed, which has always been a high-ranking official in Beijing, and is used to reward people or play games. If you go out and take out a handful of golden melon seeds, it is estimated that few people will believe you. In the current situation where silver is used as a secondary currency at most, how can anyone believe this guy who takes out a large ingot of silver?

It's good that this guy will be wrong, but his subordinates still understand. After the fifty taels of silver did not work, his subordinates took out two pieces of money directly from their arms. And when he saw his subordinates take out the money, the old man who was made by the crying of the old and young of the family was like a fight, only then did he realize that he had used the wrong method, and hurriedly took out the money twice.

Don't underestimate this four-system money, among the dignitaries in the capital, this money is not enough for them to drink a cup of tea. But for the villagers of this poor mountain village outside the city of Ruzhou, their sweat beads fell to the ground and fell eight petals a year, and after paying the land rent and imperial grain, there may not be four yuan left in the year's harvest.

The power of money is truly infinite. When the four-way money is placed on the table. Although the old man hesitated, in the end the sea gritted his teeth, left the old wife and the older girl, and withdrew with the young child in his arms. And the old lady led the older girl and stood trembling in front of the leader.

Seeing this old woman like this, this leader couldn't help but have a black line in his head again. At this time, he was so distraught that he realized that this family of young and old seemed to be, probably, and probably wrong about what he meant. He hurriedly pointed to Princess Rui who was wearing it and said, "Get some hot water, scrub her clean, and find clothes for her to wear." There are hot spots in the house, and there will be rewards for doing a good job. ”

After explaining what the old woman really needed to do, he really felt that he couldn't stay any longer, and walked out of the hut in a few steps. With his backhand, he re-covered the already tattered firewood door, which was already in tatters and was kicked by himself. glared at a few subordinates who were snickering, and said to the old man: "I'm tired of the old man, I can invite Lang Zhong near here." ”

Maybe it was because of his ferocity that he frightened this family and caused a misunderstanding. As he said this, he forced himself to put a smile on his face and speak in an unusually kind tone. Although he laughed more ugly than cried, after all, it was extremely rare for him.

After learning that they are not meat and vegetarian bandits, they rob women when they see them. The old man's mood was much more stable, and when he heard his question, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Except for Ruzhou City, there is no serious Langzhong within a radius of dozens of miles. The people who live here are all tenants and hunters of the Rui Wang's Mansion, all of whom are poor, and Langzhong is too noble to be used. ”

"Even if you reluctantly invite Qi Langzhong, you can't catch the medicine. People here have always relied on their own resistance when they get sick. However, in a ruined temple seven miles northwest here, there is a Taoist priest who has some medical skills. If the people here really can't bear it, they go to him to see the disease, but I haven't heard of him curing anyone's illness. ”

Hearing that there was only one Taoist priest in the vicinity who could look at the sick, this leader hesitated slightly. At present, Ruzhou City is not easy to enter, and there is no Langzhong who is proficient in medical skills within more than ten miles around. In the distance, I don't want to say if I can invite you, and I can't afford to delay the time. The most important thing is that no one knows how long Princess Rui can hold out now.

At present, this more gold is not a nest head, and silver is not a money making stall, and what can pull out pus is a good plaster. It doesn't matter if he is a Taoist priest or a nun, it is good to be able to see the disease. Anyway, Princess Rui is already in this situation, and no matter how bad it is, it can't be bad there. Gritting his teeth, he summoned a subordinate and asked him to invite the Taoist priest with this old man.

When giving instructions to that subordinate, although he didn't say it clearly in front of his father-in-law, the subordinate who received the order understood the meaning of his words. Anyway, it's just a sentence, at all costs, even if you tie up, you have to tie that old way back. All the necessary means, that's what it means.

The subordinate who understood the meaning of his words did not dare to delay any time. Regardless of whether the old man could stand the stimulus or not, he scooped the old man onto the horse and galloped away. After the two left, another subordinate said cautiously: "Head, we can't stay here for too long. ”

"This time, our errand is to investigate the cause of the death of King Mingrui, which is a secret decree of the emperor. In terms of secret purpose, but give us a time limit. If we delay here for too long, the errand will not be done well, and the emperor will not be able to explain. You are clear about the rules of Nanzhen Fusi. Look, aren't we? ”

These people are exactly after the emperor received Huang Qiong's secret fold and the so-called battle report of the king of Shu. From the north and south of the Zhenfu Division, the elite forces were sent to Ruzhou to find out the real cause of King Rui's death. After receiving the truth about King Jing's rebellion, the emperor had serious doubts about the true situation of King Rui's mansion played by King Shu. On the surface, he didn't say anything, but secretly he sent someone to investigate.

It's just that these people stayed outside the king of Shu for two days. But I don't want to, the security here is not ordinary. After two days of investigation, nothing was found at all. They had also been to King Rui's Mansion before, but not to mention the people around King Rui, they had never seen any of them. Even the eunuchs and stewards of the palace have completely disappeared.

I didn't know that in the entire Ruiwang Mansion right now, not only the Ruiwang family was killed. It is the maids and servants in the house, except for the women who were rewarded by the king of Shu to their secret guards, there is not even an old mother left alive. On that mass grave, the people of Ruiwang's Mansion had already been reduced to ashes.

After a long period of inactivity, this group of Nanzhen Fusi, even if the secret agents sent by them were calm, they also had a certain anxiety at this time. If it wasn't a coincidence today, he met Lu Wentao and destroyed the corpse and saved Princess Rui. They estimated that until now, they were still empty-handed, and they had not found anything.

In fact, they don't know that they are not ordinary lucky to encounter this thing today. What dealt with this matter was Lu Wentao, who was beaten by the King of Shu last night, and there was a faint disturbance in his heart. If it was someone else, it would even be Lu Wentao the day before. Freshly carried corpses will not be put here for cremation, at least during the day.

Because the bodies of those people who were disposed of last night were buried directly. With Lu Wentao's meticulous thinking, he naturally would not choose to do anything in one place repeatedly. Lu Wentao, who was a little disturbed by the King of Shu, did not give a special explanation to his two subordinates. The two subordinates still dealt with the two concubines of King Rui according to the original method, so that they could pick up a leak.

Of course, at this time, Princess Rui was lifted out of the line of King Shu, and she still became like this, which has confirmed in disguise that what Huang Qiongmi folded is true. But there is no witness, and it is still the same to go back to the errand. Princess Rui is just breathing a sigh now, and no one knows if this breath can be relieved.

If you slow down, it's easy to say anything, but if you can't slow down, it's still the same. Seeing that the deadline set by the emperor is getting closer and closer, this subordinate is also anxious, so he said so. Because according to the practice of the North and South Towns, those who fail to return from errands will be severely punished. Of course, it is definitely not a punishment such as a penalty to let this subordinate say this.

Hearing the words of this subordinate, this leader was also at a loss. can only smile bitterly: "You and I are willing to delay here, you don't know that the King of Shu's line inside and outside are the guards and personal soldiers around him." The garrison of the Ruijian Battalion is both inside and outside Ruzhou City. Unless we identify ourselves and force ourselves to break through the King of Shu, you have also seen the results of these two days. ”

"Night detective, with the current vigilance of the King of Shu, we can only startle the snake. If we can save Princess Rui this time, with this job, our errand will be completed. If I can't get it back, I don't know what to do now. Now, all we can do is to beg the Buddha for blessing except to count on that Taoist priest. ”

As the two men spoke, the door to the hut opened. The old lady who came out with a basin of dirty water poured it out. Looking at the group of people standing outside the door, he gave them a strange look. In a voice that was small but clear enough for them to hear, he said, "O iniquity." Such a beautiful woman has been harmed like this by you, are you really not afraid of retribution? ”

Hearing the old lady's words, the leader and his subordinates couldn't help but have black lines on their faces again. Knowing that they were misunderstood again, although they really wanted to explain, this really wasn't what they did. But looking at the old lady's defensive eyes, and adding the lessons of the previous car, the leader hesitated slightly, and finally did not make any explanation.

Fortunately, what happened next didn't embarrass him for long. The subordinate he sent out, with an old man, came with some embarrassment. However, when the old lady saw a horse and a double saddle, there was no figure of her old man. grabbed the sleeve of the subordinate who invited someone, and said with some horror: "Uncle, where did you get our master?" ”

When I saw this old lady and asked about my family, I was horrified, and I knew my head before. It scared people a lot. This subordinate hurriedly told him. Because there are first aid people here, I can't carry three people on my horse. So the old man told them to come back first, and he walked behind, and they rushed back first. A few miles of mountain roads, the old man will come back in a while.

Hearing this, although the old lady was still a little uneasy in her heart, she looked at the leader who was frowning over there, but she didn't dare to say anything. As for the leader, at this time, he had the heart to grind his teeth with this family. I had already taken the Taoist priest who had never ridden a horse before, and who was tossed all the way, into the house to see the sick.

However, this Taoist priest who was sixty years old and didn't even have time to breathe was forcibly dragged into the house. When he saw the person lying on the bed, he was slightly stunned: "Isn't this Princess Rui?" She is a nobleman, how did she become like this? Is it you? "Anyway, there is no ambiguity, just go forward and start the pulse.
