Shen Xi first took off all the silver needles used for anesthesia on Xi'er's body, and then stitched up the edges of the wound, applied it with wound medicine to stop bleeding, and bandaged it himself.

Seeing Shen Xi's skillful appearance, Yu Niang was extremely surprised in her heart, what did an eleven-year-old child go through to be able to keep his face unchanged in this situation?

Shen Xi bandaged the wound, got up, put his hands into the copper basin filled with warm water, washed away the bloodstains, and explained some details about the recuperation to Yun Liu.

Yun Liu asked nervously, "Shen Gongzi, when will Sister Xi'er wake up?" ”

Shen Xi smiled slightly: "Her injuries are life-threatening, and she will naturally wake up later." First of all, we should pay attention to the maintenance of the wound, to change the dressing appropriately, although the medicine I brought is not much, but it is enough to use for more than a month, change it every two days, do not untie the bandage when changing the dressing, just sprinkle the powder on the edge of the wound. ”

Shen Xi explained in detail, and Yun Liu responded one by one.

Other girls have to come out to pick up customers, but Yunliu, as the "top card" of the Teaching Division, doesn't have to show up often, and can take care of Xi'er's daily life.

Yu Niang asked Xi'er to be carried back to her room to rest, and she, together with Yun Liu, invited Shen Xi to Yun Liu's room, saying that there was something important to discuss.

“…… Shen Gongzi is young, but he has such a ability to cure diseases and save people, and the slave family is grateful. ”

When she arrived at Yunliu's boudoir, Yu Niang made a gesture to kneel down for Shen Xi, but was supported by Shen Xi. Shen Xi's expression was grim, and his eyes were blazing: "Why should Yu Niang be polite, in fact, I am not completely helping you." ”

Yu Niang is a smart person, thought for a while, and asked: "I think Yun Liu has told An Rusheng about colluding with bandits to kill people and steal goods, Shen Gongzi wants to help the Chamber of Commerce?" ”

"Exactly." Shen Xi nodded.

Yu Niang breathed a sigh of relief: "Then we are fellow believers." ”

Shen Xixin said, who is the same person as you? I just want to make sure that my relatives don't have an accident and that the Chamber of Commerce can develop smoothly and steadily.

Shen Xi asked: "Some of the past details of the An Governor's Mansion are not clear, can Yu Niang be honest?" ”

Yu Niang thought about it, asked Shen Xi to sit down, and let Yun Liu serve fragrant tea. Tell all the things she knows.

According to Yu Niang, although An Rusheng is from the capital, he is ruthless and has a local resume. He has colluded with bandits many times, and there is a group of outlaws around him for him to drive.

Originally, when An Rusheng was a local official, he rarely attacked his own territory, but occasionally robbed money and robbed people, but he sued him for banditry, and the court did not notice the abnormality. After all, although the world has been peaceful for a long time, there are still many bandits who occupy the mountains as kings, and it is not surprising that there are occasional robberies.

An Rusheng's biggest case was the hijacking of an official ship on the Huating River on the border between Songjiang Prefecture and Jiaxing Prefecture in Zhejiang Province three years ago, and in the same year, more than a dozen merchant ships in the waters were robbed, and all the ships were scuttled and sunk, leaving not a single living mouth, making it impossible for the imperial court to trace them.

“…… An Rusheng was not evaluated well and should have been demoted, but when he heard that there was a chamber of commerce with strong financial resources in Tingzhou Prefecture, he bribed officials from Nanjing. He sought an errand for the prefect of Tingzhou, and he had been preparing for a year this time, and it was not far from the day he started. Shen Gongzi remembered to remind his family that his property could be lost, so he must not lose his life. Yu Niang reminded one last time.

Shen Xi frowned: "That Yu Niang investigated An Rusheng's murder and misdeeds, how much real evidence do you have?" ”

Yu Niang shook her head slightly: "It's not that the slave family refuses to tell each other calmly, it's really important, and Shen Gongzi still doesn't know too many things." ”

Shen Xi didn't fully trust Yu Niang, this woman was promoted to office before An Ru was promoted. already has a lot of power, which can be seen from her cultivation and use of Xi'er.

How can such a person be just a mediocre woman?

Shen Xi got up and said, "Yu Niang refuses to say it explicitly, so it's inconvenient to ask more." Farewell. ”

Yu Niang said: "I don't thank you for my great kindness, but unfortunately, Shen Gongzi is still a boy and can't ...... Alas, Yunliu, send Shen Gongzi out the back door. Don't let people see it. ”

"Yes."

Yun Liu's face was a little blushing, obviously she understood the hidden meaning of Yu Niang's words. Shen Xi is still a child now, and she can't do anything, but if she becomes an adult in the future, she may be able to "repay each other" with Xi'er. After all, this kind of life-saving kindness, how can it be repaid with a word or two of thanks?

Yun Liu was also a little charming in his heart: "No wonder Bi Xuan has known him for a short time, so she fell in love with him, it turned out that he was really a humble and polite gentleman, and a model among people." ”

……

……

Shen Xi came out of the Teaching Workshop Division and did not return directly to the pharmacy, but went to the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce to find Hui Niang, and learned that Hui Niang was outside to discuss the freight with others.

"When will the head of the house come back?" Shen Xi asked.

Zhike replied respectfully: "The head of the house will go out in the afternoon, and it is estimated that he will go home directly after dealing with the matter, and the little shopkeeper should go home and wait." ”

Shen Xi was a little anxious in his heart, and after learning about An Rusheng's evil deeds that he didn't know whether they were true or false, he suddenly worried that something would happen to Hui Niang.

Songjiang Mansion belongs to the wealthy area of the Jiangnan generation, and it is one of the fourteen state capitals of Nanzhili, An Rusheng can still do anything wrong, even dare to hijack official ships, and even scuttle boats to kill people. And Tingzhou Mansion is just a remote place in western Fujian, and there have been bandits and ethnic conflicts in the local area for many years, so what scruples do such fierce criminals have?

Shen Xi returned to the pharmacy and went upstairs directly, but he had no intention of studying, waiting for Hui Niang to come back, for fear that something would happen to her outside.

It wasn't until after dark that Hui Niang came back with a sad face, looking extremely tired.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Is there something going on with the Chamber of Commerce? ”

Hui Niang behaved like a strong woman outside, but in front of people close to her, she would not deliberately hide her mood and thoughts, and even the smug Zhou noticed that her face was a little inappropriate.

Hui Niang glanced at Shen Xi and shook her head slightly: "A batch of official salt entrusted by the Governor of Anfu to transport us back to Fucheng was seized by the local government in Chaozhou Mansion in northern Guangdong, and there were more than 3,000 yuan on the ship, including people and goods......"

Shen Xi thought to himself, things are really coincidental, just after getting the news that An Rusheng wanted to attack the Chamber of Commerce, there was a matter of Guan Yan being seized by the local government in northern Guangdong.

Zhou asked: "Then you should explain the situation to the government, although Chaozhou Mansion belongs to Guangdong...... But why are they all prefectures and counties under the imperial court, and let the Anzhifu explain it? ”

Hui Niang shook her head: "The meaning of the prefect of An, after all, Chaozhou Mansion belongs to the boundary of Guangdong, and as the prefect of Fujian, it is not easy for him to contact him across borders, but he wrote to me and asked me to go to Chaozhou Mansion in person, in addition to contacting the local government to recover the seized official salt." Let's also transport this year's summer grain to Hai Duong Pier so that we can sail north. Things are very troublesome, I'm afraid I won't be able to return after a month of traveling. ”

Shen Xi hurriedly dissuaded: "Auntie, you can't go." ”

"Bastard boy. What to plug in? After taking the exam, you will be in charge of the family? Zhou scolded first, turned his head to Hui Niang and said, "But sister, this mountain is far away." It's better to let someone else go, the ground of our Tingjiang River is not very flat, if you go to the Hanjiang River downstream, I'm afraid it will be ......"

Hui Niang sighed: "I may have to come forward in person for this matter." ”

After Shen Xixin finished speaking, it seems that he was really told by Yunliu and Yu Niang, An Rusheng really harbored evil intentions, this is preparing to repeat the old trick, take the Chamber of Commerce to open the knife, hijack the cargo ship of the Chamber of Commerce first, and it is best to hijack Hui Niang as well. At that time, you can blackmail the Chamber of Commerce and the Silver Trumpet, and use the money to ransom people.

An industry as big as the Silver Horn and the Chamber of Commerce will fall under An Rusheng's control at that time.

Zhou asked, "When is my sister going to leave?" ”

Hui Niang sighed: "After all, the official salt involves the stability of Tingzhou, so I will go back to pack it up and set off for the south at noon tomorrow." ”

"So fast? Then I'll help you ......" Zhou went out with Hui Niang.

Shen Xi thought to himself, now everything is just hearsay and meaningless speculation, and the place where he learned the news is in the Jiaofang Division, if Zhou's detailed inquiry is not easy to explain, he can only find an opportunity to tell Hui Niang about the matter first.

"Mother, I'm hungry. Isn't it time to cook at this point? Daddy will be back soon. Shen Xi chased out the door and shouted.

Zhou Shi turned around: "You little ancestor has a lot of things, forget it, sister, you clean up by yourself first, and I'll go back to cook." Ning'er, this girl, doesn't know how to get it in the past two days. It's always a loss to do things......"

Originally, if the Zhou family didn't have time to cook, they would let Ning'er go to Shen's house to do it, anyway, the maid that Hui Niang bought was also her maid, and she didn't call Bai or not, but in the past few days, Ning'er has a spring heart and is ready to fish for "Kaizi", and even housework is a little slack.

Wait for Zhou to leave. Only then did Shen Xi hurriedly step forward to explain the situation to Hui Niang, and explained in detail the evil deeds that An Rusheng had done before.

Hui Niang asked in surprise, "Xiaolang, where did you hear these things?" Anzhifu he ...... How could it be...... How can it be a Jiangyang thief? ”

Shen Xi hurriedly said: "Aunt, you don't believe others, don't you believe me?" This time, the Governor of An asked you to go south to the Hanjiang River to Chaozhou Mansion, and it was clear that he was going to find someone to hijack the ship in the middle of the road, and then you would be in big trouble. ”

Hui Niang didn't come back from her shock for a while, because what Shen Xi said was too unbelievable, she couldn't understand it at all, how could those ferocious Jiangyang thieves be connected with the government and the dignified prefect?

Shen Xi saw Hui Niang's suspicions, and couldn't help but say: "An Rusheng even dares to rob official ships, what do you dare not do to kill people and overhaul goods?" This time, I only found out about it by accidentally hearing Jiang Gongzi mention it...... He came to Tingzhou Mansion this time to investigate this case. ”

Shen Xi was in a hurry, so he had to excuse that this was the news leaked by Jiang Liwei.

Hui Niang shook her head: "Xiaolang, it's not that my aunt doesn't believe you, even if Jiang Zuocheng came here to handle the case, how could he leak such a confidential matter to you?" ”

"Does that aunt know why the prefect's yamen was stolen last night?"

Hui Niang shook her head again.

Shen Xi made up a story: "An Rusheng hijacked the official ship and killed people, causing other people's families to be ruined, and now the families of the dead people on the official ship are entangled and waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against him, and the theft of the government is to find evidence of his crime." Today, An Rusheng and the people of the government office searched around the city in the name of looking for bandits, just to get back the evidence. ”

"At the beginning of the year, something similar happened in the city, aunt, you won't forget it, right?"

Hui Niang finally nodded.

She had heard about An Rusheng personally bringing people to the city to search for bandits, but what Shen Xi said was too bizarre, if it was really a Jiangyang thief, how could he become the prefect of the fourth grade? Besides, when the government stole something, isn't it a matter of course that An Rusheng led the officials to search for thieves?

"But what then? If I don't go, will I watch our ships of official salt being detained, causing local prices in Tingzhou to soar and the people to suffer unspeakably? ”

Shen Xi sighed: "Hui Niang, why can't you understand my words? An Rusheng's target is not those boats of salt, his target is you and the Chamber of Commerce, as long as you don't go, there is no reason for the Chaozhou local government to detain the ship for too long! ”

Shen Xi was so anxious that she directly called out the name of her boudoir that she had silently recited many times in her heart, Hui Niang couldn't help but be stunned when she heard it, Shen Xi actually called her boudoir name, and she spoke so old-fashioned, where is it like the tone of a junior?

"That'...... Then I got it. Hui Niang didn't blame, but with a little hesitation, "Xiaolang, you go back first, I know how to deal with it." ”
