After about a cup of tea, Rean Xue came back, "Princess, someone has set up a roadblock in front, saying that if you want to go up the mountain to incense the queen of heaven, you have to pay five taels of silver per person to enter the mountain." ”

Five taels of silver for entering the mountain, these people are really lions with a big mouth, five taels of silver is nothing to the rich and noble, but for ordinary people's families, it is a year's living expenses for their whole family.

"Do you know who is asking for money here?" Chu Lixue said lightly.

Hearing this, Rean Xue glanced at the Ruan family in the car, and then said: "That person said that he is the third son of the Ruan family, and the Tianhou Temple on the mountain was donated by his family, if you want to enter the incense, you must have five taels of silver per person." Moreover, some people were dissatisfied with his approach, saying that they were going to the city lord's mansion to complain, but the third son of the Ruan family said that the city lord was his own uncle, and he was not afraid to sue casually. ”

After listening to Rean Xue's narration, Ruan's face suddenly became very ugly, how could the Ruan family be a big local family with a few taels of silver flowers, and openly said that the city lord was his uncle, wasn't this a slap in the face of Shen Rui? If it was usual, it would be fine, but Princess Chen is here today, will she still help them when she hears such a thing? If Princess Chen told King Chen about this, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Ruan Shi smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't be angry, princess, go and take a look, maybe ...... Maybe someone is deceiving people under the banner of the Ruan family, the Ruan family is big and big, how can they lack these taels of silver. After finishing speaking, Ruan Shi didn't care whether Chu Lixue agreed or not, so he got out of the carriage and walked towards the crowd.

Pushing away the noisy crowd, Ruan really saw his uncompetitive nephew, who was blocking the intersection with a few family members to collect money, some people didn't want to take things to their heads, so they also gave the silver to go up the mountain, and those who couldn't afford to give money were the majority of people, every day after Christmas, everyone wanted to go to the incense to pray for blessings, and ask for the blessing of the queen of heaven.

"Ruan Qi, what are you doing here?" Ruan Shi looked at his nephew and said coldly.

"Oh, auntie, you also come to incense, you guys, quickly make way for my aunt." Ruan Qi shouted for the family to move the fence away.

"Auntie, please." Those family members said respectfully.

"Bah, what are you please, don't withdraw these useless things quickly, Qi'er, our Ruan family is not short of this bit of silver, why do you bother." Ruan Shi glanced at his nephew coldly and said.

Speaking of which, she has three nephews and two nieces, but she just favors this youngest nephew, perhaps because this nephew likes to be close to her since he was a child.

"Auntie, you don't know, I fell in love with a girl in Chunfeng Courtyard, but my father didn't give me money to help her redeem herself, so I can only figure it out by myself." Ruan Qi said with a helpless look.

Hearing this, everyone was even more unhappy in their hearts, it turned out that the third young master of the Ruan family was extorting their hard-earned money here because his family refused to give him money to redeem himself for a Qinglou woman, and it was really speechless to come up with such a way.

Ruan naturally can't come by his temperament, so many people are watching, and there is still Princess Chen in the carriage behind her, at this critical juncture, she can't let any negative. The news spread, otherwise it would affect the competition for the throne of King Yue, and Shen Rui would not forgive her.

"Qi'er, let's do it, how much silver do you want, my aunt gave it to you, you have to quickly remove all this, go home and wait obediently." Ruan Shi said in a deep voice.

Ruan Qi was naturally happy when he heard that someone was willing to give him this money, but in fact, it was very hard for him to get up early in the morning to block the road here and ask for money.

After a while, Ruan Qi took his family and left the foot of the mountain happily, those people could go up the mountain without paying money, and they were very happy, but no one would be grateful to the Ruan family, because this is the bad thing that the people of their Ruan family did, Ruan Qi dared to be so arrogant, wasn't it because of her, the aunt of the city lord's wife? If she wasn't the lady of the city lord, just a merchant woman, who would be afraid of her.

The crowd gradually walked towards the mountain, and Ruan Shi also walked back to the carriage quickly, Chu Lixue glanced at Ruan Shi lightly, just this glance, it had already made Ruan Shi's back cold, and his hair stood on end.

Ruan led Chu Lixue and others to the door of the Tianhou Temple in a carriage, Chu Lixue stepped out of the carriage and saw that the Tianhou Temple was magnificent, and the style was comparable to that of the National Temple.

After paying homage to the gods in the main hall, Ruan Shi excused himself to say that he had something important to deal with, so he took Chu Lixue out of the Tianhou Temple together, and at this time, most of the people were incense on the mountain, and they would stay in the temple and eat food before leaving.

On the way down the mountain, there was only a carriage from the City Lord's Mansion, which was unimpeded, and it was only a moment to come to the halfway up the mountainside, but unexpectedly, the previous drama was staged again, and the carjacking bandits were encountered again. Chu Lixue pouted, why was she so unlucky, she always encountered such things.

Just as he was thinking about it, Ruan had respectfully handed over all the valuable jewelry on his body to the man, and the man's face was covered with a black cloth, and he couldn't see clearly. But Chu Lixue could still deduce from his posture and voice that the other party was a middle-aged man in his forties.

The robber easily got the jewelry and silver taels from Ruan's hands, and then his eyes fell on Chu Lixue, and then pointed at the long sword, and said coldly: "And what about your toll?" ”

"Nope." Chu Lixue lightly spit out two words.

"None? Then trade your life. After speaking, the man's long sword stabbed over, and just as Chu Lixue was about to dodge, Ruan actually used his body to block the sword for Chu Lixue.

Ruan's actions shocked Chu Lixue, and naturally he didn't see the surprise on the face of the assassin, and the assassin immediately put away his long sword, whistled at the rest of his entourage, and all withdrew.

Wanyue and Canxue killed a few of those people, and felt that the other party was just a lot of people, but their martial arts were mediocre, but after such a wheel battle, Wanyue and Canxue also felt a little tired.

"Mrs. Shen......"

"Mother......

Chu Lixue and Shen Qian exclaimed in surprise, Ruan Shi opened his eyes and glanced at the people in the carriage, and just said with difficulty, "You're fine." And some fainted.

"The waning moon and the remnants of the snow, no need to chase it, hurry back to the city." Chu Lixue said in a deep voice.

Chu Lixue pressed the wound on Mrs. Soft's body with her hand, and then asked Ning Xiang to take out a gourd-shaped porcelain bottle from the sachet on her waist and sprinkle the white medicinal powder on it. After a while, the bleeding stopped.

"I didn't expect the princess to know how to heal." Shen Qian said softly.

Hearing this, Chu Lixue didn't pay attention to Shen Qian's words, but just looked at Ruan Shi worriedly, hoping that her injury was not serious. The carriage traveled all the way, and finally came to a medical hall called Renxintang, where Rean Xue and Wanyue got off the carriage with Ruan Shi, followed by Chu Lixue.

The doctor in the medical hall naturally recognized Ruan's, and seeing that her lips were white and unconscious, he let Canxue and Wanyue help her into the inner room.

After carefully examining the wound, the doctor said softly: "Fortunately, the hemostatic medicine was used in time, and the patient was not injured, so it doesn't matter." It's just that I lost too much blood, so I'll prescribe a prescription to replenish the blood when I go back. ”

"Doctor, my mother is like this, you still say it doesn't matter, will you see a doctor?" Shen Qian said angrily.

But the doctor is not a soft persimmon, he is insulted by others, the most taboo thing for doctors is that patients are afraid of diseases, and then there is not believing in his medical skills, and he is famous, and his medical skills are also known to everyone in this Cui Cinema, Shen Qian said this, it is simply insulting him as a quack.

"Miss Shen, even your father trusts her old medical skills, if Miss Shen can't believe it, then please be smart." After speaking, the doctor made a gesture of please, which was an eviction order.

Things have developed to this point, Chu Lixue always felt that something was wrong, but for a while she couldn't think of what was wrong, and now that Ruan Shi was in a coma, she didn't have the heart to think about it.

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Shen Rui learned that Ruan's was injured, and hurriedly rushed to the courtyard, seeing that Ruan's was still in a coma, and heard Rean Xue say that Ruan's was fine, and he only needed to drink medicine to replenish his body, so he was relieved.

After settling the Ruan family, Chu Lixue also returned to the Yanyu Pavilion with the three maidservants, and saw that Murong Lingxiang was pacing back and forth in the courtyard anxiously, and saw Chu Lixue's intact appearance, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"How can you meet robbers? That mountain road is an official road, and there are so many people going to incense, even if there are robbers, they shouldn't choose to appear today. ”

"Maybe it's because there are so many people today that they have to be robbed one by one?" Ning Xiang said softly.

"No, I haven't encountered it when I went up the mountain, how could I meet it when I went down the mountain, if everyone knew that there were robbers, they would definitely ask to live in the Tianhou Temple, and when they went up the mountain, most people would bring sesame oil money, and they wouldn't necessarily have money when they went down the mountain, which didn't make sense." Wanyue Xiu frowned slightly.

"Well, indeed, if it is a robbery, it is good to rob the silver, why hurt people, even if they hurt someone, their goal should be finances, not to rush to evacuate when someone is injured. I've always felt that something was wrong there, and it was only when I heard Wanyue say this that I reacted. Chu Lixue said lightly.

"Princess, the slave quietly asked the doctor, and the doctor said that Ruan seemed to be seriously injured, but in fact, he was not injured at all. Moreover, the slave felt that Miss Shen was a little too worried, if she was really worried, she should have been worried after the bandits hurt people, why did she have to wait until she went to the hospital and blamed the doctor's medical skills? Rean Xue also expressed the doubts in her heart.

That's right, the remnant snow and the waning moon are very carefully observed, which is also what Chu Lixue is puzzled about, could it be that this is another game carefully set up by others?

Murong Lingxiang listened to the conversation of several people, and knew in his heart, this must not be an accident, someone must have set up a bureau, maybe even someone in the Ruan family collected the entrance fee from the beginning, or earlier.

"Miss Ling, I feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems, today's matter, I also heard that the third son of the Ruan family set up a roadblock to collect the entrance fee, and the Ruan family came forward to let the third prince leave, and then when everyone entered the incense, the Ruan family had to leave early, and then you met the robbers again, this seems to be a very simple thing, it should have been a bureau set up by others."

"Someone else's bureau? Is it trying to hurt the princess? Ning Xiang said worriedly.

Hearing this, Chu Lixue patted Ning Xiang's hand gently, "No, they didn't want to hurt me, but they wanted me to owe the Ruan family a favor and a life-saving grace, but they wanted to repay me." The corners of Chu Lixue's mouth raised lightly and said lightly.

Thinking about it, this Shen Rui couple is really painstaking, but the acting skills are too clumsy, ordinary people may be able to deceive, but like Chu Lixue, who is used to seeing the performances of the daughters of the family in Cloud City, the performance of this Shen Rui couple is too far behind.
