The merchant was arrested and taken away, and the agreement with Jiang Yu naturally could not be done.

Until the evening, Jiang Yu didn't see anyone coming, and she thought that she would untie the rope and go back, but unexpectedly, the merchant tied her a dead knot and taught her how to break free, trapped in the cave, cold, hungry and sleepy, so anxious that she yelled, but there was no response. It's not miserable.

Old man Wei searched for someone for a day, but because he couldn't find Jiang Yu's person, he had no choice but to ask the whole village to help find him, and even a few officers and soldiers who Fu Zhuoyi brought to capture the merchant were also used.

It wasn't until midnight that an officer and soldier noticed a noise in the cave, went in with a torch and took a look, and then rescued her.

Jiang Yu was tied up by ropes, and seeing her so embarrassed, Liu asked her several times in a row, who was she tied up? Did the merchant tie her up? There was a lot of nervousness. I also asked her if she was bullied by the merchant, and if she did, let the official master call the shots for her.

Some words came out of Liu's mouth, Jiang Yu vaguely knew about the merchant, and glanced at Chu Jianniang with weak eyes, he didn't dare to say anything, and he buried his head in Liu's arms and couldn't stop sobbing, showing a grievance that was really bullied by the merchant.

It took most of the night for the fuss to stop. Back at home, Liu went to clean up his little sister. Chu Jianniang didn't have the time to pay attention to the little sister, and she was dizzy for a while, and she didn't have the strength to say hello, so she dragged her heavy body back to the room, and lay down on the bed and lost consciousness......

Dense with thorns, overgrown with weeds, and a gust of cold wind is the scene under the boundless falling trees. Suddenly, the tiger pounced, the jackal approached, the cold wind rolled up a large whirlpool, and a carriage moving forward was suddenly torn apart by sharp claws, and the blood basin bit a head in the carriage, and ripped it off hard, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

Chu Jianniang was frightened! shouted out of his mouth, "Wei Lang!" "Wake up from a dream! The vest, palms and foreheads were covered with sweat.

"Awake? Quick, change her clothes for her, so much sweat pressed on her body, it is easier to catch a cold. ”

Chu Jiaoniang was so dizzy that she only heard an unfamiliar voice talking in her ears, and vaguely saw someone going out, and then saw Liu helping her change her clothes, and then fell asleep in a daze......

I don't know how long I slept, but the jackals, tigers and leopards were still in front of me, surrounding a carriage, with fierce faces and hideous faces. There was a man standing in the carriage, and the man called her name and said to her: Run! Come on!

Chu Jianniang's legs were weak, but when she turned around, she tried her best to run in one direction, but she couldn't run. Seeing a fierce tiger suddenly pounce on her, she let out a long howl, and her eyes were as blurry as if she were sinking into water. It took a lot of struggle to wake up from prison!

"Ahem..."

Chu Jianniang supported half of her body and sat up from the bed, outside the window was the light of dusk, no one in the room, only heard someone outside anxiously saying: It's been a few days, why haven't you woken up? It was Liu's voice. Then I heard a strange voice saying, "I will go and see again."

Then the door opened.

There were several people who entered the house, except for Jiang Yu, the old man of the Liu family Wei in his house, one of the other two was Fu Zhuoyi, and the other was an old man with white hair, and the old man carried a medicine box.

Liu Shi saw that Chu Jianniang on the bed moved, and his eyes instantly widened as if he had been looking forward to the joy for a long time, and quickly came to the bedside, shushing the cold and asking for some warm words. It made her feel uncomfortable.

Old man Wei locked his eyebrows for a long time because of worry, and after seeing people wake up, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up, and you don't have to worry about it every day." ”

Fu Zhuoyi also came over to say hello and greeted a few times, "It's good that my sister-in-law is awake." ”

Seeing this, the old man came to the bedside without hurrying, shook up his sleeves, and reached out to take her pulse.

"Madame has now woken up, and she is sweating less, so there is no big problem. I will prescribe five more days of medicine and take it on time, and it should be fine. The old man said.

"Thank you, thank you, doctor." Liu and Old Man Wei thanked each other in unison.

Fu Zhuoyi thanked him at the back, and then thoughtfully led the old man to write a prescription, and at the end he ordered the little guy next to him to send the old man back.

Chu Jianniang looked at the people who were busy before and after, and some questions appeared in her mind.

Without waiting for her to ask, Liu said in her ear with an uncontrollable mouth: "This is the doctor invited by the Xianggong to the county, and he is here to treat you." You have been lying down for no less than three days, teaching me and your father to die in a hurry, if it weren't for the help of the prime minister, we don't know what to do. ”

"Oh." Chu Jianniang's pale face, when she heard it, she only bowed slightly: "Then thank you for helping the minister, and it also bothered my father." ”

"What a bother! If it weren't for Yu'er, the dead girl, running out, would she be able to hurt you like this? As he spoke, he didn't forget to glance at Jiang Yu.

There was guilt in Liu's words, and he was really angry at Jiang Yu for being so nonsense. But she also knows very well that now that Wei Xuan is not at home, it is the daughter-in-law who is the pillar. Where does the money come from when the daughter-in-law falls? You can't fall down. is down, can you care for her more, then care for her?

Jiang Yu shrank to the side, looking guilty and apologetic, but in the bottom of his heart, he was not used to Liu's style, and he was disdainful of Chu Jianniang.

Chu Jianniang's mental state was not good, she glanced at it, and didn't say anything more.

After waiting for Fu Zhuoyi to come in from outside, Chu Jiaoniang thanked her: "I have been tired of everything in the past few days, and I really don't want to go." In the future, when the woman's health is better, she will do her best to repay the husband. ”

Fu Zhuoyi waved her hand again and again: "Sister-in-law, don't be polite, Brother Wei's family is also my Fu Zhuoyi's family, and it should be." ”

Without saying anything, Chu Jianniang didn't know how to say it, and replied with a grateful smile.

The old man Wei on the side was heartwarmed when he heard it, how glad Wei Xuan had made such a good brother who did not dislike the poor and loved the rich, this is the ancestor of the accumulation of virtue!

Liu Shi was also moved in his heart, and couldn't help boasting: This person is good, and he has a future.

Seeing that it was not too early, Fu Zhuoyi instructed a few words left by the doctor, so that after he could cultivate well, it was inconvenient to disturb more, so he left.

Old man Liu Wei went to see someone off.

Chu Jianniang wanted to ask about Wei Xuan, but her chest swelled up with discomfort, and she coughed a few times in a row, but she couldn't open her mouth, so she simply didn't ask.

Wei Xuan had been away for more than half a month, but there was no news of her returning, and the nightmares of the past few days had forced out many of the worries and worries that she had suppressed in her heart, and she was very uneasy. She wondered if he was almost there? I don't know where he said? I don't know if he has eaten and drunk well and rested well in these days on the road......

However, on the way from Qianzhou County to Beijing, Wei Xuan did encounter something.

On the tenth day of the trip, when the carriage passed through the Liangshan Mountains, it encountered a thunderstorm, and a group of carriages and horses on the same road in front of them did not slip when they turned at the narrow crossing, and even the people and cars overturned down the narrow pass. Fortunately, the groom who was driving the carriage quickly tightened the reins and pulled the horse back, and he was spared.

After the incident, the narrow mouth could no longer drive the carriage and horses, so he abandoned it on foot, but the rain was too heavy, and it was inconvenient to get off the car at that time, so he rested in the car for two days until the rain lightened.

After two days, all the cars and horses traveling here were blocked here, and many of them were people who went to Beijing with him, and they were also students who participated in the preparation for the exam, but most of them were still businessmen.

Among them, there was a caravan of the family surnamed Zhen, and the caravan of the family surnamed Shi ran into each other, and there was a quarrel. Later, I learned that these two families were famous spice families in Liangzhou City under Liangshan, and they were rivals who never got along.

It is rumored that these two families chose to enter Beijing at this time, because after the Dragon Boat Festival, it is the birthday banquet of the queen mother's 60th birthday, and the palace is purchasing spices to make incense. First, it will be used in the weaving of the song and dance "Evening Beauty" in the birthday banquet; Second, it is used to repel insects and evil spirits in the palace during this season when insects are in full bloom.

Of course, the most important thing is that the concubines in each palace love incense, morning incense and evening incense, which is indispensable every day, and it is also a thing that reflects the noble status of the royal family.

In the past, the royal spices were purchased from the Western Regions, but in recent years, there have been many armed negotiations with the Western Regions, so they have stopped trading, so they are only selected in their own national capitals.

Both families know that if they can take this big order, then they will not have to worry about business in the future. It is precisely because of this that the two families compete with each other for this main road, and they both want to seize the front to take an advantage.

While they were arguing with each other, a group of robbers armed with swords and black cloths suddenly came down from the top of the hill, surrounded all the chariots and horses who were blocked here, and forced them to hand over their money.

Many people sacrifice them to save their lives.

The historian's family protected his own property and property, and prevented the robbers from succeeding, but forced the robbers to kill people, scared stupid people, etc., and suddenly no one dared to take the lead.

The Zhen family's roundabout negotiations with them deliberately dragged on for a while, until another group of well-trained men armed with knives and weapons, dressed in the same clothes, came out and besieged and took the robbers away, and they were freed.

It was only later that I learned that the person who had a detour between the Zhen family and the robbers was the eldest son of the Zhen family, Zhen Yuanan, and the eldest brother-in-law of Fu Zhuoyi.

Wei Xuan met him, and it was also a coincidence. Because Zhen Yuan'an has a habit of escorting goods, that is, when escorting goods, there must be two teams of people, one team escorting goods in the open, and one team escorting in secret, so as to deal with accidents. That's it.

After escaping, the two bumped into each other and said hello. There were also many people who went to Beijing alone to thank them, and then went to Beijing with their carriages and horses, so as not to encounter any more trouble. Wei Xuan also followed all the way.

It's just that after the incident, Wei Xuan's heart was still palpitating, and he was afraid for a long time. If the robbers came down and bound them and killed them in front of them, he was not afraid, he was not afraid. But when he thought about Chu Jianniang, the whole person was confused.

was uneasy, and it wasn't until he passed the dangerous area of the incident and rested in a foot shop that Wei Xuan calmly wrote a letter of peace and sent someone to send it back......
