Fifteen years ago, the government posted a notice prohibiting villagers in the area from going up to the mountains to hunt and dig for medicinal herbs.

Zhang Tiedan's father went into the mountains to hunt on a snowy night and never returned.

In the second year, his mother asked Zhang Tiedan to take Erya to take care of the house, and brought tools to dig medicinal herbs up the mountain.

As a result, it is also gone and never looked back.

"So, the two old men have not returned in the mountains?" Jiang Ziyan asked while not delaying to put noodles in his mouth.

Erya's craftsmanship is really good.

"Yes, my father didn't come back, and my mother didn't come back, and since then, our brothers and sisters have depended on each other for their lives, and we have survived by relying on the charity of our neighbors." Zhang Tiedan wiped away his tears and said, "After a few more years, I will be able to farm, and then I will cultivate the few acres of thin fields left by my parents." ”

Erya was not too impressed with her parents, there were no ups and downs in her feelings, and after a few tears, she picked up the bowl and continued to eat.

Zhang Tiedan simply put down his chopsticks, wiped his tears, and said: "Who knows that not long after the good days, the government increased taxes, and more than half of the income in the fields was given to the government, so we had to spend more than half a year on wild vegetables to satisfy our hunger." ”

"Don't hide it from the guest officer, before you arrived today, if we hadn't been here to boil medicine for the patient, we would have laid down a long time ago, just to save some food."

"It's just wild vegetables, and it's not available every day."

Zhang Tiedan wiped the tears from his face and picked up the bowl again.

The bottom of the bowl was already seen, so I simply went to the kitchen to bring the pot.

"Come on, come on, everyone is full, and it won't taste good when it's cold after a while." I poured myself a big bowl first.

Seeing that Jiang Ziyan's bowl also saw the bottom, he said with a smile: "My sister-in-law doesn't look like a foodie, how can she be similar to me, she can't walk when she sees food." ”

Zhang Tiedan was angry and said, "How can you talk this girl?" Nothing big or small. ”

The second girl pursed her lips and said, "I talked to my sister-in-law, but my sister-in-law didn't say anything, what are you talking about." ”

"What's wrong with foodies, being able to eat and sleep is a sign of health." Jiang Ziyan felt that the foodie was quite a match for herself.

Nangong Hao also feels that the title of foodie is very appropriate to the current state of the little daughter-in-law.

Everyone saw the bottom of the bowl, Er Ya helped everyone fill it, and there was still something left in the pot, so he brought the pot back to the kitchen.

"So, the second elder never appeared again?" Nangong Hao continued the previous topic.

"It's not just that they didn't show up, but they didn't come back from someone else's house to the mountain." Zhang Tiedan snorted and drank, his mouth stopped, and then said: "There are also nearby villages, and later, some people rumored that there are monsters in the mountains, and they eat when they see people, and there is not even a bone residue left." ”

"The reason why the government closed the mountain is because it is afraid that the monsters will eat people." Zhang Tiedan ate the noodles in a few bites and touched his mouth.

Erya was about to bring the remaining noodles to his brother, Zhang Tiedan buckled the bowl and said, "I haven't eaten pasta for several days, and if I eat too much, I will have stomach trouble." ”

The second girl pursed her lips, sat down and started eating again.

Zhang Tiedanzui was idle, chattering, and said: "A few years ago, there was a person in the neighboring village who came back from the mountain, and they all said that he was suffering from madness, and he beat people when he saw them, and he talked nonsense all day long, and what kind of words like Tianwang Laozi hung on his lips. ”

"Seeing that people are coming back, it is better not to come back. I didn't come and I had a thought, but when I came back, a basin of cold water was poured down, and there was nothing. ”

Jiang Ziyan looked at Nangong Hao, look at what you royal people do, what kind of mountain is sealed in a good manner, isn't this forcing people to be cornered?

What other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are added, I don't know if the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, and the people still want to live?

Nangong Hao ate the noodles slowly, but it tasted the same as chewing wax.

The DPRK and China have not decided to close the mountain at all, and as for increasing taxes, it is even more nonsense.

Since my father ascended the throne, three rent and tax reductions have been reduced just to allow the people to recuperate, how can this be.

Who collected the people's money and grain under the banner of the imperial court, and where did the money and food go?

It seems that this trip to the Northwest Road was not easy.

Looking back at Jiang Ziyan, her little daughter-in-law was still tasting noodles without heart or lungs, as if the noodle soup in the bowl was delicious.

Erya packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to wash, Jiang Ziyan instructed Zhang Tiedan here, and said: "At night, change the dressing for the patient once an hour, and every time you have to squeeze out the blood near the wound, and then apply the medicine and bandage it." ”

Jiang Ziyan saw Zhang Tiedan listening carefully, and then said: "If the owner can't do it, you can go to the wing room and call us." ”

"Yes, I can do it." Zhang Tiedan nodded hurriedly.

You can't do this little thing, doesn't it make the guests laugh?

Nangong Hao went out and told Zhang Tiedan, "If your father and mother are still in the world, they will come back one day." ”

"Thank you, the guest officer, borrow the guest officer's auspicious words, God hurry up and let my father and mother come back."

At the beginning, when my mother left, Erya was only two years old, and now she has reached the age of marriage, if you don't come back, you have to have me, the elder brother, to send her to the sedan chair.

The two returned to the West Chamber, and Nangong Hao went to the front yard to bring hot water over and helped Jiang Ziyan wash his feet.

Jiang Ziyan put his feet into the basin, paddled the water inside, and said warmly, "Does Haozi think Zhang Tiedan's parents are still alive?" ”

"I can't say for sure." The eyes are dark and bottomless.

Nangong Hao is now thinking about who is so bold that he dares to collect the people's money and grain at will behind the back of the imperial court.

helped Jiang Ziyan wipe the water off his feet and hugged him to the kang, but the quilt on the kang was still clean.

My little daughter-in-law is afraid that she has been sleepy for a long time.

Sure enough, he was still talking to Nangong Hao in the last second, and when he turned around, Jiang Ziyan fell asleep.

Nangong Hao went to the carriage again and hugged a quilt over, and lay down separately from Jiang Ziyan.

Thinking about the contents of my father's letter over and over again, where to start when I arrived at Northwest Road.

Jizhou is the fief of the emperor's uncle, King Shou.

Although the sky is high here, the emperor is far away, and there is no shortage of taxes in the northwest province.

Now that I have entered Jizhou City, I live in Jizhou Thorn Mansion, or live in the emperor's uncle, or live in the camp.

In the letter, the emperor allocated 50,000 soldiers and horses, as a patrol, he should not have brought so many troops, and the father said that it was just in case.

And then there is this ring, is it the injured person's own, or the king of Northern Xinjiang handed over the token to this person.

I didn't sleep late at night, looking at the little daughter-in-law lying on my side, I was really blessed, but the sky was falling, and I should sleep or sleep.

In the middle of the night, Nangong Hao got up and came to the main house, Zhang Tiedan, who was dozing off on a stool, saw Nangong Hao, and shivered, and said, "Why doesn't the guest officer sleep?" ”

"Uh, woke up. See if the patient is awake. ”

"I've already helped change the medicine twice, and I listen to my breathing steadily, so it shouldn't be a big deal."

If only I could wake up.

Nangong Hao came to the patient, carefully examined the patient, and saw that the patient was full of heaven and was a blessing, where was he poisoned, and how did he come here.

A series of questions made Nangong Hao helpless and unable to figure it out.

……

At the same time, in the Jizhou Thorn History Mansion in Jizhou, the lights were bright, and Cheng Qian, the Jizhou Thorn Shi, was even more restless.

Master Cao Zhan watched from the side, his eyes kept turning back and forth with Cheng Qian's movements.

Cheng Qian was like a donkey in the millway, spinning around, staring at Cao Zhan coldly with cold eyes.

Cao Zhan was shocked, frightened and confused.

"A bunch of waste, a boiled duck can make him fly, let the official explain to the above."

Cheng Qian finally opened his mouth, but he roared at Cao Zhan.

A few days ago, the soldiers guarding the city caught a spy, and after careful inspection, they suspected that it was the king of Northern Xinjiang.

In order to invite merit, he reported it, and the order was to be executed on the spot.

Cheng Qian charged the suspected king of Northern Xinjiang with the crime of being a traitor, and sent someone to pull down the execution ground and behead him, and a large group of people let go of the bare-handed suspect, and the top was furious and ordered Cheng Qian to quickly arrest the suspect.

And the imperial court's envoy is about to arrive, and if this suspect is allowed to see Lord Qincha, I am afraid that it will be a bad thing.

The above sent someone to supervise, and if the suspect can't be caught, he will lose his head.

Cheng Qian felt that his head was now stored around his neck, and he might be taken away at some point.

With a black face, it doesn't feel good to look at anyone.

"My lord," Changshi Feng Qiyong barged in.

"My lord, I have found out clearly, this time the patrol is His Royal Highness the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu." Feng Qiyong gritted his teeth, and the fat on his face trembled slightly.

Cheng Qian's face was a little heavy, and he sneered: "Emperor Qingyuan is really bloody, and the god of war has sent it out." Hahaha, this official wants to see the perfect combination of today's god of war and today's divine doctor. ”

"According to investigation, Princess Chu is still pregnant, His Royal Highness the King of Chu and Princess Chu are out to play in the mountains and rivers, because they are closest to us, they were caught by Emperor Qingyuan, presumably they are also going through the motions, and they will not be more famous."

Changshi Feng Qiyong poured out all the brains he knew.

Cheng Qian's eyes moved faintly, and he said coldly: "Don't underestimate the enemy, His Royal Highness the King of Chu swept through the Northern Goryeo joint venture at the age of twelve, and his kung fu is not covered." ”

"No matter how good kung fu is, it is also the courage of a horseman. If you want to deal with us, you have to fight with wits and courage. Lord Changshi was full of confidence and said: "I don't believe it, a little milk baby who has not lost his hair can be more knowledgeable than us old antiques?" ”

"It's the princess of Chu, but she knows some medical skills, which has nothing to do with conspiracy. If you want to sit firmly, you have to be able to go to the battlefield and level the court. Changshi stroked his beard under his forehead, raising his toes, as if he was the master of this world.

Cheng Qian was very dissatisfied with Feng Qiyong's attitude, and said angrily: "Don't underestimate these two people, can you play Dongying people in the palm of your hand, can you be ordinary people?" ”

"It's the princess of Chu, you have to be even more vigilant. Don't underestimate women, women who can follow the side of men will definitely be outstanding. ”

"Besides, Princess Chu is the niece of the Ye family, and she can offend the current emperor, and she can't offend the old thing surnamed Ye. In today's army, how many people from the Ye family army are, do you know? ”

Underestimate Princess Chu, it seems that you old guy is really outdated.

Speaking of Ye Jiajun, Feng Qiyong's arrogance was slightly restrained, and he said: "Xia Guan didn't think that Princess Chu and the Ye family still have such a relationship. ”

Immediately, Feng Qiyong sighed and muttered dissatisfiedly: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really a blessing, marrying the niece of the Ye family, doesn't this control the entire army of the Northern Jin Dynasty in his own hands?" What hope is there for other princes? ”

"Shut up !!" Seeing Feng Qiyong getting farther and farther away, Cheng Qian shouted angrily.
