Hecang County belongs to Nanyang County, from Jingshi along the tributaries of the Zhengjiang River downstream, into the Lushui, to Hecang is only a short five-day journey, so many merchants will transport goods from Jingshi to this by waterway, and then sell to Nanyang County Government, which is extremely convenient.

"Have you heard that the traitor's brother embezzled more than 200,000 stone of military rations from the border army of Guangyuan County, and the captain of the Western Army almost fought in the court!" In the wine shop, a merchant who had just come from Beijing said to the people at the same table.

"More than 200,000 stones! That's enough for the people of our whole county to eat for a month!" Hearing the news, the people at the table immediately became interested.

"But what does this have to do with the Western Army's guards? The traitor's brother swallowed the military rations of the border army, what does it have to do with the Western Army?" someone asked.

"You don't know about this, right! The current lieutenant of Guangyuan County is the life and death robe of Shi You, the guard captain of the Western Army, I heard that the two have practiced martial arts together since childhood, and they are still brothers!" explained the merchant from Jingshi.

"And what happened?

"Hehe, what's the result, that treacherous minister has the support of the demon queen, and even his brother has not been convicted, when I came back from Jingshi, I heard that the demon queen was about to send someone to Guangyuan County to find out the cause of this matter, phew! What is the reason for finding out, it is clear that the Guangyuan county guard is cleaning up the mess!" the merchant slapped the table and said with an angry face.

Hearing the words of the merchant, the surrounding drinkers were in an uproar, even such a big crime can be covered, it seems that the two of them have covered the sky with one hand!

A pot of rice wine, a plate of donkey meat with sauce, Zhang Shuo sat quietly in the corner and listened to the conversation of the drinkers.

In the past few days, after he had finished all the things that he should be busy in the village, he suddenly found that he was suddenly idle, after all, people in the village are not sick every day, and sweet potatoes and potatoes cannot take root and sprout in just a few days.

Therefore, when he has nothing to do, Zhang Shuo often goes to the wine shop in the county seat to sit and listen to the news from all over the world.

Since the palace coup two months ago, most of the talk in the wine shop has been about the court, especially the news of the Empress Dowager Zhao and Prime Minister Huang Ping, which has made Zhang Shuo's understanding of the current court clearer and clearer.

To tell the truth, according to Zhang Shuo's understanding, since the Zhao family and Huang Ping took control of the government, first, they did not arbitrarily increase taxes, second, they did not act arbitrarily, and in general, they did not do anything angry and resentful.

The most important thing is that Zhang Shuo feels that the reason why the world can't tolerate Zhao is that she is a woman.

Throughout the history of this world, there has never been a precedent for women to interfere in politics, and the concept of male superiority and inferiority of women has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Therefore, Zhang Shuo still has some sympathy for the Zhao family, but sympathy is sympathy, and he thought about it in his heart, after all, there has been no clean politician since ancient times.

As usual, he stayed in the wine shop from the afternoon to the near dusk, Zhang Shuo paid for the wine, walked out of the wine shop, and walked along the city gate avenue to the dock.

Old Wu Tou's boat is always quietly moored on the edge of the dock at dusk, waiting for Zhang Shuo's arrival, Wu San's injury is very stable, the day before yesterday he changed the gauze again, Zhang Shuo gave Yunnan Baiyao Old Wu Tou returned, he said that Wu San's goods can't die now, and he can't use such expensive medicine.

"Old Wu Tou, are you still using these pair of oars?" Zhang Shuo asked with a smile on the canopy boat.

Old Wu Tou was too old to use bamboo poles, so Zhang Shuo found a carpenter in the village to make a pair of oars, and installed it on his boat this morning.

"Doctor Zhang is smart, this thing called oars is very easy to use, in the past, I walked five or six times a day from the river and had no strength, but today I walked ten times and back, and now I am still very brisk!" replied with a smile.

In fact, there has been such a thing as oars in this world for a long time, and Lijing's boat uses oars, and Zhang Shuo was inspired to make a pair of oars for Lao Wutou after hearing the news.

This era is like this, Zhang Shuo heard an interesting story from the wine shop, fifty years after the Great Zheng Jianchao, the imperial court ordered the local hundred officials to inspect the remnants of the countryside, and the Nanyang County Shou at that time sent people to look for two months in the mountains and forests, and found more than ten villages, these villages are self-sufficient, never contact with outsiders, ask about the situation, and even call themselves Wu people!

You must know that Nanyang County was called Wu State or when the world was not yet unified, and then Da Liang dominated the world, and then Da Zheng destroyed Liang Jianguo, these people have been nesting in the ravine for nearly 400 years!

At dusk, Zhang Shuo returned to his thatched hut in the warm greetings of the villagers, and today is the time to "archive" again, the meat he brought has been eaten, and he is ready to go home to get some.

"Doctor Zhang! Doctor Zhang!" Just as Zhang Shuo was about to return, an urgent shout suddenly came from outside the door.

Zhang Shuo heard that this voice was Wu Luo's, and Wu Luo would come to deliver a fish every evening when he came back from fishing in the past few days, so he thought that Wu Luo was here to deliver fish again this time, but when he went out to take a look, the situation in front of him made him stunned.

The person who called him from outside the door was indeed Wu Luo, at this time Wu Luo was shirtless and wet, and the key thing was that Wu Luo was holding a person in his arms.

"What's going on?" Seeing Wu Luo's appearance, Zhang Shuo stepped forward and asked.

"Doctor Zhang, it's like this-" Wu Luo said while panting, "I came back from fishing today, and I saw this person floating in the river, I pulled it up with a net to take a look, and there was still breath, that is, there was a bloody wound on the body, you can see if you can save it." ”

No wonder Wu Luo is much later today, Zhang Shuo knows that people like them are begging for a living on the river, and they are very taboo about the presence of dead people in the river, so when they see people who have fallen into the water, they will be fished up regardless of whether they are dead or alive, and if they can be saved, they will be saved, and if they can't be saved, they will send the body to the county government, and the county government will make a record of the corpse and then cremate it.

At this time, the sky was dark, the sun was gone, Zhang Shuo took a closer look, the person was held in Wu Luo's arms, his long hair was blistered and stuck to the skin, covering his head and face, and he was wearing a skirt made of silk, Zhang Shuo guessed that this should be a woman.

A cloud of blood can be faintly seen on the clothes on this person's waist, Zhang Shuo heard Wu Luo say that there is a bloody wound, that is, a wound, it should be in the waist and abdomen, but I don't know how big this wound is, whether it hurts the internal organs.

Zhang Shuo hurriedly led Wu Luo into the house and put the person on the straw bunk, because it was too dark in the house, Zhang Shuo quickly took out a flashlight and began to examine the injured.

Wu Luo was startled when he saw that the thing in Zhang Shuo's hand suddenly emitted a strong light, and then looked at Zhang Shuo, who was seriously examining the wound, with a look of awe on his face.
