This town is very beautiful from the outside, the rows of houses are scattered, and this time is just the time to cook, the smoke is curling, a peaceful scene, people can't help but feel comfortable when they look at it.

Sheng Qingyuan is also looking forward to it more and more.

It's just that when there is still some way to go from the town, King Heng did not continue to walk, but let the carriage stop in a relatively hidden place.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that the carriage stopped, Sheng Qingyuan asked King Heng suspiciously.

King Heng said to Sheng Qingyuan with a solemn expression, "The town in front seems to be a little wrong."

"Isn't that right? What's going on?" Sheng Qingyuan asked.

"I've got someone to investigate what's going on, wait a minute, and we'll go in if we're sure it's okay." King Heng said very cautiously.

"Hmm." Sheng Qingyuan nodded and agreed with King Heng's decision.

Soon, Xuan Yu came back with the situation in the town in front of him and said, "There is a group of people from the town in front, and this group of people is here to collect protection money."

"What protection money is charged?" Sheng Qingyuan immediately asked.

Xuan Yu said: "There is a stronghold of bandits on that mountain, and from time to time a group of people will come down to collect protection money from these villagers, if they don't pay protection money, they will be inexplicably injured or even killed in two days, and if they pay the protection money, they will be fine."

"It's clearly the trick of those bandits." Sheng Qingyuan said as soon as he heard it.

King Heng gave Sheng Qingyuan a calm look, and asked Xuan Yu, "Do you know how much the protection fee is charged, and how often is it collected?" What is the mood of the people inside now? How's it going?"

Xuan Yu said: "The time of collection is uncertain, sometimes it is collected once a month, sometimes it is collected once every half a month, and when it is the most frequent, it will come once every three or five days, and the amount collected each time is different."

Sheng Qingyuan's fists were already stiff, and he continued to ask, "What if the people can't give money?"

Xuan Yu said, "If you can't give money, you can either give them the food you have at home or something a little more valuable, or you can only give your own family to the people in the cottage, as long as you ...... Woman, and a young and beautiful girl."

Sheng Qingyuan's clenched fists clenched a little tighter, "What if it's gone?"

"It's a dead end." Xuan Yu said in a cold voice.

"Do you want to go in?" It's not far from the next place, and we can travel overnight until we get to a calmer place and have a good rest." King Heng said to Sheng Qingyuan.

In fact, there are many places like this all over the country, Yanbei and Da Zhou.

Sheng Qingyuan closed his eyes and asked, "Who is in charge of this?"

King Heng was slightly stunned.

Before he could say anything, Xuan Yu said, "This place is under the jurisdiction of the Beilin Prefect."

Sheng Qingyuan looked at King Heng. Look at the book

King Heng touched his nose and said, "That's really not a particularly good official, and he only gets in the assessment every year, but how to say it, this one just keeps him from being dismissed or demoted."

Sheng Qingyuan said to Xuan Yu, "Dig up the connections of this Beilin prefect in the imperial court."

King Heng raised his eyebrows and asked her, "Are you going to take the new official three times?"

"It's not yet this point, find out the fuse first, and burn it together when the time comes!" Sheng Qingyuan's eyes flashed sharply.

Looking at the ruthlessness on Sheng Qingyuan's body, the corners of Heng Wang's lips couldn't help but rise.

He knew that this niece was not as simple as being kind, that the decisiveness she should have was enough, and as an emperor, she should also have such decisiveness.

Otherwise, this emperor is a puppet who can only be led by the nose by the ministers below.

If the future emperor of Yanbei is just a puppet, then Yanbei is not far from extinction.

"Yes." Xuanyu should fall, and immediately arrange it.

"So what do you do now?" constant

Wang asked Sheng Qingyuan.

Sheng Qingyuan continued to ask Xuan Yu, "When do they usually leave?"

Xuanyu said, "It's almost time."

"Okay, then let's go and disturb it, this place has a nice view, you can stay for a few more days." Sheng Qingyuan said lightly.

King Heng was not surprised that Sheng Qingyuan rose to the challenge.

After this period of time together, he has a very clear understanding of this girl's temperament, which seems to be gentle, but the more difficult things are, the more interested she is.

"Not bad, not bad." Meng Kun's voice suddenly sounded.

The sudden sound frightened King Heng almost from the carriage.

King Heng touched his fast-beating heart and said to Meng Kun, "Old Meng, can you say hello the next time you appear?"

Every time it appeared so suddenly, he was afraid that before he could return to the capital, he would already die first.

"It's a shame that you're still so big, and your guts are so small, it's useless, it's not as good as our girl." Meng Kun snorted in disgust.

King Heng: "............"

Sheng Qingyuan asked Meng Kun, "Didn't you say that you found a winery nearby, and you want to go there for a visit?"

Meng Kun said, "It's indeed a very interesting place, and I'm going to wait for you to go with me."

Looking at the smile on Meng Kun's face, Sheng Qingyuan felt that that winery must not be a good place.

"Let's go, then." Sheng Qingyuan said to King Heng.

"Okay." King Heng said resignedly.

The people in the town had just been sacked, and their faces were all sad.

Suddenly, when I saw a carriage coming, my heart was raised high, and I looked at their carriage very vigilantly.

King Heng jumped out of the carriage first, walked up to an old woman, smiled and asked, "Hello, may I ask ......?"

However, before King Heng could finish his words, the old woman immediately ran away.

King Heng: "????"

He can't eat people, why is he running so fast?

King Heng asked several people in a row, but each of them left immediately without waiting for him to finish speaking.

"Hey, what the hell are you going to do?! Outsiders are not welcome here!" A man said to them with courage.

Seeing that the two sides were about to have a conflict, Sheng Qingyuan hurriedly got out of the carriage, stopped King Heng behind him, and said to the man with a gentle smile, "We are just passing through the road, and we want to go to the south to seek refuge with relatives."

"Hurrying?" Seeing Sheng Qingyuan's gentle temperament, the man's inner guard weakened a little, but they had just been sacked, and it was hard for them to believe them for a while.

"And what do your relatives do? What do you do?" The man continued.

Sheng Qingyuan said, "My uncle runs a medical clinic, and I also know a little bit of medical skills."

"You know the art of medicine? You say you know how to heal?" The man's face was full of doubts.

Sheng Qingyuan nodded and said, "Well, I do understand something, because when I was a child, I watched my mother die in front of me, but I couldn't help at all, so I deliberately studied medicine, hoping to do my part to help others, and I also hope that if one day my unfortunate relative falls ill again, I can also save him."

The people in this town are still simple in the end, listening to Sheng Qingyuan's words, many people were moved.

"What a good boy."

"Alas, if I could have understood some medical skills at the beginning, maybe my mother would still be alive now."

Hearing that the people in the village had obviously relented, King Heng secretly gave her a thumbs up.

It's you!

But the man was not so easily moved, "I don't believe it, unless, unless you can show us your medical skills, we definitely don't believe it."

As soon as these words came out, the villagers who had just been moved by Sheng Qingyuan's words also came

They all chimed in.

"Okay, you can get a villager who is not feeling well, and I can treat him at no cost." Sheng Qingyuan said.

The man looked around.

The old woman who had just been scared away by King Heng took the initiative to stand up at this time, "Then show me."

Sheng Qingyuan helped the old lady to sit down on a chair on the side, and then asked Yan Chuling to help take out his small medicine box and began to check the old woman's pulse.

Everyone held their breath and waited for the result of Sheng Qingyuan.

The man didn't believe that Sheng Qingyuan really knew medical skills.

After a while, Sheng Qingyuan put away his hand and said to the old woman, "The biggest problem in your body is that your blood vessels are blocked."

"Clogged blood vessels?" Everyone listened to the words Sheng Qingyuan said, and looked at her with puzzled expressions.

They've never heard of it.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The man immediately asked.

Sheng Qingyuan patiently explained to them briefly what the blood vessels were, and pointed out to the old woman, "You are often dizzy and cold in your hands and feet because of the blockage of your blood vessels, but fortunately, your condition is not serious, you can be treated with medication, and I can also give you injections to speed up the recovery of your blood vessels."

"You, is this really true? You can't lie to me, this old woman." The old woman said to her.

"Don't worry, I don't lie to you." Sheng Qingyuan said to the old woman with a smile.

"Mother." A middle-aged man rushed out and called out to the old woman very worriedly, signaling her not to trust Sheng Qingyuan.

The old woman waved her hand and said, "I know best what my own body is, and you have also found me some doctors and taken a lot of medicines, but they are useless, so let's be a dead horse and a live horse doctor."

"It's useless for my son." The middle-aged man hung his head in shame.

"Village Chief......" The others comforted him when they saw him like this.

Sheng Qingyuan said to the old woman, "I need a clean and tidy house, and in addition, I need a place where I can boil medicine."

The old woman said, "My house is here, come in."

"Okay." Sheng Qingyuan did not twist, and followed the old woman into her room.

The village chief and some strong men followed him in, but Meng Kun and King Heng were stopped outside, and only Sheng Qingyuan and Yan Chuling were allowed in.

They thought that there were only two girls inside, and if something happened, they would be able to control it as soon as possible.

Sheng Qingyuan wrote a prescription for Yan Chuling, and Yan Chuling immediately took some herbs from the carriage according to the prescription, and then began to decoct the medicine.

During this period of time, following Sheng Qingyuan's side, the biggest gain for her was that she knew a lot of medical things.

The decoction is not a problem for her at all now.

Sheng Qingyuan began to give the old woman an acupuncture.

About an hour later, the needle was finished, the medicine was decocted, and Sheng Qingyuan personally fed the old woman.

Everyone also waited curiously for the old woman's reaction to see how she was doing.

"Mother, what do you think?" The village chief immediately asked.

The old woman moved her joints, touched her hands and feet, and said in surprise, "My hands and feet are warm now, warm!"

This is already a very big gain for her.

Over the years, her hands and feet have not been warm, and she is so cold that she can't sleep at night.

"Now that she's finally warmed up, she can finally get a good night's sleep."

The old woman's daughter-in-law also touched her hands and feet, and said to the village chief very happily, "Xianggong, my mother's hands and feet are really warm."

The village chief was very surprised and happy when he heard this, and immediately gave Sheng Qingyuan a big gift, "Girl, thank you, thank you."

Sheng Qingyuan hurriedly helped the village chief up and said to him, "You're welcome, it's just a bare hand."

Then he said to them, "It's just that the old lady's blood vessel blockage problem can't be eradicated all at once, and then you need to take medicine to adjust it."

Hearing Sheng Qingyuan's words, the smile on the old woman's face, which was still happy just now, suddenly retracted, "This, why do you still need to take medicine?"

"Mother, don't worry, no matter what kind of medicine it is, I will definitely buy it for you." The village chief gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly.

The old woman closed her eyes and shook her head and said, "How can there be any money, forget it."

Seeing the old woman like this, the village chief hated himself more and more for his lack of ability, and said to Sheng Qingyuan, "Girl, tell me, what medicinal materials are needed, no matter how valuable they are, I will try to find them."

Sheng Qingyuan said, "Don't worry, it's just some very common herbs."

When the village chief heard this, he couldn't believe it, "Is what you said true?"
