Chapter 167: Antelope Horns!
Yujia Village, inside a wooden house.
Xu Muchuan and the others all sat on chairs, but the enlightened monk sat cross-legged on the ground.
At this time, Xu Muchuan and the others were in a heavy mood. On the one hand, it is because Wen Ruo has not woken up from poisoning, and on the other hand, it is the problem of high taxes in Yujia Village.
"Bang...... Snap ......"
When Xu Muchuan and the others heard a burst of hurried footsteps, Ran Hong's tiger-backed body came into everyone's eyes.
Xu Muchuan jumped up from the chair full of joy and hurriedly asked, "General Ran, how is it?" Can you find it? ”
"My lord, most of the medicinal herbs written by the military doctor have been bought back at a high price in the town, but only one of them is missing." Ran Hong immediately took a few steps forward and said with his fists clenched.
"What's missing?" Xu Muchuan couldn't help frowning.
"Antelope horn, all the pharmacies in the town have searched all over the place, but they have not found this medicinal herb. However, I will hear about the antelope horns from the mouths of the small people in the major pharmacies. Ran Hong bowed his head respectfully and responded.
"Antelope horn ........." Xu Muchuan glanced at Wen Ruofei who was lying on the wooden bed, muttering to himself.
There was still standing next to the plank bed for the old military doctor who had not been poisoned, but the old military doctor knew that there was a big man lying on the plank bed, and if he was a little worse, it would be fatal.
Therefore, the old military doctor had a rest last night and waited by Wen Ruofei's side early.
"My lord, antelope horn is the main medicine, if you lack this medicinal material, it will be a little difficult to remove the toxicity in General Wen's body." The old military doctor bowed to Xu Muchuan and said in embarrassment.
The effect of antelope horn is very significant, it has the medicinal effect of calming the liver and soothing the tendons, calming the wind and calming the soul, dispersing blood and lowering qi, and dispelling evil and detoxifying. Even in the big city, this kind of medicinal herb is rare.
"General Ran, tell me quickly, what news about Antelope Horn?" Xu Muchuan clutched his heart tightly, for fear that Wen Ruo would worsen his condition after another day or two.
"My lord, I heard that a year ago, the owner of Sun Dadi in Renbao Town received a birthday gift of antelope horns. If nothing else, the antelope horn must be in the Sun family. The last general did not dare to go to Sun's house at will to take out the antelope horns. I have come to report to the adults and let them decide. ”
Although Ran Hong is a military general, he can be valued by the Northern Abyss Emperor Jun Yuyi in his thirties, which shows that his mind is still relatively delicate.
"The Sun family...... Da Da Sun ......" Xu Muchuan slowly narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of Renbao Town, not knowing what he was pondering.
Everyone saw Xu Muchuan meditating silently, so everyone didn't speak, just stared at Xu Muchuan silently.
After a long time, Xu Muchuan's eyelids raised slightly, and he said very solemnly: "General Ran, you immediately send someone to secretly collect information about the Sun family and the county officials in the town, and you must be secretive." Also, let the five hundred elites stationed at the head of the village temporarily take off their armor and change into civilian clothes. The people of Yujia Village can't see that we are from the imperial court, but it doesn't mean that those people in the town can't see it. ”
"Yes, my lord, the general will do it." After Ran Hong said with a dignified face, he immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the head of the village.
Afterwards, Xu Muchuan set his eyes on Yun Changqing: "Changqing, you go to Renbao Town to inquire about the news and collect evidence about the oppression of the people by the county officials and the Sun family, I will bring troops tomorrow, okay?" ”
"Rest assured, Evergreen will definitely live up to its mission." Yun Changqing immediately walked out of the door and went to the head of the village to lead a fast horse.
Yun Changqing knew that Xu Muchuan was already impatient. Because Wen Ruo urgently needed the treatment of the antelope horns, and he could not reveal his identity and forcibly take the antelope horns, if it was passed out, it would greatly affect Xu Muchuan's future work. Therefore, Xu Muchuan could only advance in a big way, catching the county officials and the Sun family off guard.
The old military doctor stood beside Wen Ruofei's bed with a respectful look, and seemed to have some awe of Xu Muchuan.
According to Xu Muchuan's instructions, Ran Hong immediately selected a dozen shrewd and capable soldiers from the five hundred elites and sent them to Renbao Town to investigate the news about the county officials and the Sun family.
As the spring sun came to an end, the people who had been busy all day were returning to the village from the fields.
As soon as Xu Muchuan thought that the big men looked hungry when they saw the white rice in the morning, he immediately walked to the head of the village and asked the soldiers to take out some dry food and food from the carriage.
Xu Muchuan walked solemnly in front of a dozen soldiers holding food, and went to the village.
As the sun sets, the entire sky darkens.
The villagers are gathering together to cook on the fire, although the days are very hard, but the appearance of happiness makes people feel a sense of warmth.
"Your honor, what are you?" The old village chief glanced at the corner of his eye, and found Xu Muchuan and the others who walked straight up, and he saw a dozen or so big men behind Xu Muchuan holding something, and immediately stepped forward to ask.
"Old man, I see that the villagers are tired, and I happen to have some food here that I have brought from other places, so I want everyone to taste it." Xu Muchuan didn't want to hurt the only trace of dignity left in the hearts of the villagers, so he said with a very tactful smile.
The more than 500 villagers who were originally happy, laughing and cooking all focused their eyes on Xu Muchuan. Some people even focused their eyes on the bags containing grain, and their eyes were full of hope.
Although Xu Muchuan didn't make it clear that this was charity, he just said that everyone should taste the taste of food, but how could the old village chief not see through it?
"O nobleman! This...... This is not to be done. My Yujia Village doesn't have anything to entertain the nobles, how can I let the nobles treat them like this. The old village chief walked quickly in front of Xu Muchuan with a cane, and hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"Don't say anything more, old man, let's cook these grains quickly! The rest will be kept in the village and eaten later. Xu Muchuan's words carried a trace of irresistible majesty.
"Okay, I'll take you all to thank you." The old village chief glanced back at the hopeful eyes of more than five hundred villagers, nodded fiercely, and said.
Afterwards, Xu Muchuan asked the dozen or so soldiers in civilian clothes to pile up the grain in the corner of the wall where the rice was cooking.
Under the gaze of the villagers, the old village chief staggered over and said loudly: "Everyone, this is the food that the nobles have given us, and we can have a full meal tonight." ”
Rumble!
Many villagers who were still wondering what Xu Muchuan brought over were stunned, and the suppressed hunger seemed to burst out at this moment.
"Is it okay to skip porridge tonight? I haven't tasted white rice for half a year. A burly man grinned very innocently.
"You're still looking at what you're doing, why don't you hurry up and thank you. Hurry up and cook the food! We've all been hungry for a day. Many honest villagers who were grinning all bowed to Xu Muchuan with a smile.
Xu Muchuan saw the ecstatic appearance of the villagers because of these grains, and couldn't help but feel a sour nose.
