Chapter 420 - Compensation

As soon as Chen Mu saw him like this, he knew that the young man's legs were afraid that he would not be able to connect, and the young man's face turned pale in pain and he fainted.

Chen Mu was about to say something to the imperial doctor when he heard a sound of harmony coming from the other direction of the village.

He turned his head to look in the direction from which the voice came, and saw an old woman crying and staggering in their direction.

The old woman was extremely thin, and she almost fell several times along the way, Chen Mu saw the old woman's appearance, and immediately glanced at his subordinates.

Several of his men stepped forward to hold the old woman, whose eyes were red, and she immediately burst into tears, looking at the young man who had been hit by the boulder.

"Crowd! Crowds! Why are you so miserable? ”

"It's okay to fail in the imperial examination, now you have lost your legs again, how can I be good to let the old woman, we are left with you and me in our family, my body is weak and can't farm, and now your leg is injured again......"

"I'm afraid we're going to starve to death!"

The old woman's words were miserable and pitiful, and Chen Mu sighed deeply when he heard the old woman say this.

The most important thing now is not how to survive after crying, but how to heal the young man's leg.

Although this young man's leg is ruined, the flesh wound still needs to be healed, otherwise this blood loss will be too much, and I am afraid that it will endanger his life!

Chen Mu immediately asked the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine.

The old woman watched as the imperial doctor took out the prescription, and a little embarrassment appeared on her face.

Chen Mu naturally knew what the old woman was thinking, so he stepped forward and said to the old woman.

"Madam, don't worry, I will pay for this medicine, your son was injured by the boulder in order to save me, if he is not able to farm in the future, he will not be able to feed you......"

When the old woman heard Chen Mu say this, her eyes turned red, and she covered her face and cried again.

He didn't expect Chen Mu to say or do anything, and she was already thankful for the cost of this medicine.

Where do these dignitaries from the capital care about the life or death of their people?

Although his son saved the big man, he was kind to the big man.

But even if the current big man gives their family money and allows their family to live in a chatter in the future, it is impossible for his son's leg to recover.

How long does the silver last?

As soon as the old woman thought about her future life, she felt bitter, Chen Mu saw the old woman's appearance, and muttered for a moment, but after all, she still didn't say anything.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.

He was a prince, and it was nothing to arrange an errand for the young man to support himself.

Chen Mu retracted his thoughts and only glanced at the imperial doctor.

The young man's leg had been secured, and Chen Mu asked the villagers to carry the young man back to his residence, and the old woman followed with tears.

Chen Mu asked his subordinates to give the old woman fifty taels of silver, but the old woman didn't expect Chen Mu to give so much silver, and when she received the silver again, the old woman was quite grateful.

When Chen Mu saw the old woman's appearance, he suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

This young man caused his legs to be wasted in order to save him, and he deserved to give this silver.

And these are not enough.

After a few gossips with the old woman, Chen Mu turned around and left.

I always had this incident in mind, and when I checked the disaster relief situation in other villages later, I heard that the young man had woken up, so Chen Mu took people to the village again.

At the same time, those who intended to use the sediment boulder to harm Chen Mu were also caught by the secret guard, and the secret guard sent back the news.

The guards nodded in satisfaction when they heard the news from someone.

After he gave instructions and asked people to take care of those people first, Chen Mu took his men to the village where the young man was.

After arriving at the village, the village chief immediately stepped forward and led Chen Mu towards the young man's residence, and he talked as he walked.

"Your lord, you are kind-hearted, and after compensating the young man with money, you still remember him and come to see him."

"The young man had already woken up, knowing that his legs had been destroyed, and he was stunned for a while, and learned that you had given fifty taels of silver as compensation, and the young man didn't say anything more."

When Chen Mu heard the village chief say this, he nodded silently in response.

He remembered what the old woman said, and listened to what the old woman meant, the young man was actually a showman, and he had entered the Beijing Department to take the exam.

Chen Mu remembered that when he was thrown away by the young man, he noticed that the young man's body was quite thin, and he really didn't look like a person who did farm work all year round.

"Did that young man ever go to Beijing to take the exam? Is he the best talent in your village? ”

"Alas, yes, it is the most knowledgeable in our village, he studied hard in the small cold window, and finally passed the Xiucai examination, and the people in our village heard that he was going to enter Beijing to catch the exam, and they felt quite relieved."

I thought that my village could produce an official in Beijing, but the people in the same village felt that they had a long face, but they didn't expect it.

The young man entered Beijing to take the exam, but after winning the ranking, his identity was replaced by a family member in the capital.

Those people from the family drove him out of the capital, and he had no choice but to go back to the village to farm.

The young man's family originally had an eldest brother and a younger brother, and when he entered Beijing to take the exam, these two were responsible for farming at home.

Not long after he returned, there was a disturbance in the surrounding towns, and his eldest brother and younger brother went to the town to buy rice and noodles when they encountered the rogues and were killed by the rogues.

He and the old woman were the only ones left in the young man's house.

"He originally planned to continue to study the Four Books and Five Classics, and when he went to the next scientific examination, he would enter Beijing to get a quota to face the saints, and then tell the two saints in Beijing about being framed by that traitor."

But now something happened again, his brother and brother are no longer there, and he must stay at home to farm to support his mother.

His mother's health was weak, and there was no way to go to the fields and farm.

His ambitions have been dashed, and now his legs are gone......

When the village chief said this, he shook his head with a sigh on his face.

Chen Mu's eyelids jumped when he heard the village chief say this, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the village chief.

"What do you say?! Has his identity been replaced? What's going on here? Did someone impersonate him and become an official in the court? ”

"Yes, his name is Liu Qun, I don't know if you've heard of this name, since you are from the capital, so if you think about it, you should also have the opportunity to deal with those officials who are newly admitted to Beijing in the DPRK."

When Chen Mu heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and carefully recalled it in his mind, and sure enough, he turned to an adult named Liu Qun from his memory.

Coincidentally, this person is still serving in the household department, if someone really dares to use such a blatant method to replace the identity of the candidate and enter the court as an official, then there must be forces behind this person who are colluding with the officials of the household department.
