Zhao Wanning, who was full of worries, arrived at the eldest princess's mansion, but she didn't want the eldest princess to be in the mansion today.

"Isn't Celestia back yet?" Zhao Wanning remembered that before the last operation, the eldest princess had said that she was going to go far away, so she thought that she had not returned to Beijing.

The housekeeper of the Eldest Princess's Mansion is a handsome woman, her name is Sister Qiong, and she has been in the barracks for several years.

Sister Naqiong replied respectfully: "Back to the county lord, the slaves and maids of the master's itinerary don't know, and I hope that the county lord will forgive the sins." ”

Zhao Wanning knew that the eldest princess must have instructed her subordinates not to reveal her whereabouts before leaving, and she didn't want to embarrass Sister Qiong, so she had to confess: "If the eldest princess returns home, please tell her that I have something urgent to find her." ”

Sister Qiong responded.

"County Lord, since the eldest princess is not here, let's go home?" Silver Candle said distressedly. Just after getting out of the car, Zhao Wanning's face was blown red by the wind. Silver Candle carefully pulled her up and took out the little blanket from the carriage and put it over her.

Zhao Wanning was a little worried. Thinking of the tragic scene in her dream, she hesitated.

Now that the eldest princess is not in the house, she has no backbone for a while. But the eldest princess doesn't know when she will be able to come back, and if she delays the big event, I'm afraid it will cause serious consequences.

Zhao Wanning pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of a place.

Jishan Hall is located on the not very prosperous Nanhe Street.

This area is mostly inhabited by ordinary people, with low rents and a lot of people.

It's just that this section of the road is much narrower than the kind of Suzaku Street. On both sides of the road, a few more vendors gathered, and the road became narrower. Ordinary carriages can't pass, and Zhao Wanning's spacious carriage can't even enter the streets and alleys.

The ornate carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley.

The silver candle opened the curtain and helped Zhao Wanning get out of the car.

South River Street looks crowded. Not only because the roads are narrow and there are many vendors, but also because there are many refugees crowded on the roadside.

Most of them were dressed in well-fitting but dirty clothes, and stood on the side of the road in a daze, as if waiting for something.

Zhao Wanning was just about to go to interrogate, but the painting screen stopped her.

Zhao Wanning looked at it suspiciously, shook his head and said, "County Lord, your status is noble, let the slave and maid ask." ”

Picturescreen is right. The clothes on Zhao Wanning's body are either rich or expensive at first glance. When she went to ask, I was afraid that she would not be able to ask anything, but it might even arouse the jealousy of these people.

Zhao Wanning knew that the painting screen was also for her good, so she nodded.

Silver Candle helped Zhao Wanning to stand and wait in front of a leeward teahouse.

I saw the figure of the painting screen shuttling among the refugees, and after a while, she finally returned.

The picture screen said: "I still fled from the Qingzhou flood." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Wanning was thoughtful. She had already guessed that these people might have fled from Qingzhou, but so many refugees gathered here, and the imperial court didn't make arrangements?

The painting screen saw Zhao Wanning's doubts, and said in a timely manner: "The imperial court also has arrangements, but there are too many of them, and squatting there every day waiting for the imperial court to relieve them is not a long-term solution." They originally had their own livelihood in their hometown, but it was just a natural disaster...... Now that I'm in the capital, I still want to find a living again. ”

Zhao Wanning sighed: "It's difficult for everyone in the world." ”

Silver Candle comforted: "County Lord, these have their own court officials to solve them, so you don't have to have a headache." ”

"But I can't just sit back and do nothing. If I didn't know, I wouldn't know, but now I ......."

"County Lord," Picture Ping persuaded, "You're already doing it, you've saved those children, redressed their grievances, and found them a new place to live. ”

"County Lord, there are many hard-working people in this world, and you can't save them!"

Zhao Wanning looked at the picture screen in a daze, like waking up from a dream.

The painting screen also knew that he had transgressed what he said. But she really felt sorry for Zhao Wanning, she was just an unfavored county lord, and she didn't have to pay attention to the life and death of these ordinary people, but Zhao Wanning really helped a lot of people. Starting with the Su sisters, no, maybe it should start with her thirteen years ago.

Zhao Wanning is so soft-hearted and kind-hearted.

"Let's go." Zhao Wanning didn't say anything, and walked forward directly.

The front of Jishan Hall was full of people.

In winter, the cold weather is the most likely to get sick, and those people are queuing up to get medicine.

Zhao Wanning didn't come to see a doctor to get medicine, so she walked in directly. Those patients in line didn't say anything when they saw her "cutting in line", Zhao Wanning's dress looked like she was either rich or expensive, if she was really sick, how could she come to Jishantang to get medicine?

The medicine of Jishantang is very cheap, not only because the purpose of the eldest princess is not to make money, but also because most of the medicine in Jishantang are cheap and low-cost herbs. Some of those medicines grow in the fields, and the doctor will tell them truthfully, so that those who can't afford to buy them can also take the medicine.

After Zhao Wanning entered the door, a girl dressed as a medicine waiter greeted her: "I don't know why the girl came to Jishan Hall?" ”

Zhao Wanning looked around, there were medicine cabinets neatly placed in the hall of this Jishan Hall, there were small medicine attendants standing in front of the cabinet to grab medicine, and a space was separated by four landscape screens in the east as a consultation room.

At this moment, there seems to be a patient behind the screen, and Zhao Wanning can't see clearly through the screen, but judging from the thin figure, the person who treats the patient is not a beautiful girl.

Zhao Wanning thought about it, Jiao Niang opened a gambling house by herself, and she was the owner of Jishantang, how could she have the energy to treat patients.

The medicine attendant saw that Zhao Wanning looked around but kept silent, and he also felt strange, but the person who came was a guest, and she couldn't drive it away, so he called again: "Girl? ”

Zhao Wanning came back to her senses, and she whispered, "I want to find Jiao Niang." ”

As soon as he heard Jiao Niang's name, the medicine attendant changed his attitude.

Jiao Niang is in the gambling house on weekdays, and she has never revealed to the outside world that she is also the boss of Jishantang. Those who can know the relationship between Jiao Niang and Jishantang must have a lot to do with Jiao Niang and Jishantang.

Having said that, the medicine attendant was still a little cautious, she led Zhao Wanning to a place where there were few people, and asked in a low voice, "Does the girl know Jiao Niang?" ”

Zhao Wanning nodded.

"Do you know what Jiao Niang's full name is?"

No wonder this little girl has repeatedly confirmed, she also got the orders from above. Jiao Niang's identity is special, so she should naturally be treated with caution.

Zhao Wanning knew that since Jiao Niang was the person in charge behind Jishantang, she must be an important person for the eldest princess, so she didn't feel troublesome: "Nian Nujiao." ”

The medicine attendant instantly smiled: "Girl, please come with me." ”

Zhao Wanning and the three of them followed the medicine into the back hall.

Yinzhu originally wanted to complain, but the girl didn't know who it was, and she wanted to see her have to pass five levels and kill six generals, but she saw that Zhao Wanning and the painting screen were both serious and serious, so she had to swallow the complaint and silently follow behind Zhao Wanning.

A few people walked through a narrow corridor and entered a storeroom.

The storeroom was filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs, and the air was filled with the fragrance of a mixture of herbs.

The herbs had been dried, and in order to ensure the safety of the herbs, there was no light in the storeroom.

Even in the daytime, the storeroom was still dark.

"Girl, watch out." The medicine attendant saw that Zhao Wanning almost hit the corner of the cabinet in the dark, and hurriedly reached out to grab her. She has been in Jishan Hall for many years, and she is naturally very familiar with this warehouse, but Zhao Wanning and the three are not, they are the first time to come, and they are more likely to be injured in such a dim and unfamiliar place.

Silver Candle's arm had been knocked several times. It's not very painful, but it's also annoying.

Seeing this, the painting screen quietly changed positions with the silver candle and protected her from the side.

After a few corners, we finally reached the end of the storeroom.

A whole medicine cabinet was placed against the wall, and the names of herbs were written in small compartments one by one.

Silver Candle sighed secretly, this medicine cabinet was bigger than the medicine cabinet in front.

Without waiting for the silver candle to finish sighing, I saw that the medicine attendant pressed on the medicine cabinet several times in turn, and a door actually opened on the medicine cabinet wall.

There seems to be a secret passage behind the door, and a faint glimmer of light shines through the door.

"Girl, please come in, Jiao Niang is inside." The medicine waited.

The silver candle grabbed Zhao Wanning: "Miss, don't go." It's dark there, and who knows who's waiting in there, in case it's the bad guys......"

On the day they acted, they hid the silver candle, and the silver candle naturally didn't know what the situation was with this Jiao Niang and Ji Shantang, but they were instinctively worried about Zhao Wanning's safety.

Zhao Wanning patted her arm and said comfortingly: "It's okay." I know. ”

When she was about to step forward, she was stopped by the silver candle again, Zhao Wanning looked back and saw the silver candle shaking her head at her.

The medicine attendant on the side was also a little embarrassed.

At this moment, a slender woman walked out from behind the door.

"Yo, who should I be, isn't this Zhao Gongzi?" Jiao Niang walked out with a smile.

The medicine attendant on the side saw her come out, said hello to her, and turned back to the front hall.

"You, you, aren't you the owner of that gambling house?" Silver Candle has a relationship with the woman in front of her, the last time she saved Ah Tao, it was this woman who stumbled and stopped Zhao Wanning and the others from leaving. In the end, if she hadn't cleverly gone to find Master Pei of Dali Temple, I am afraid that she would even have to detain the county lord.

Thinking of this, Silver Candle hurriedly blocked in front of Zhao Wanning and made a protective gesture.

Seeing the appearance of silver candles protecting food, Jiao Niang unconsciously became interested, she smiled twice and said: "It is the slave family." The slave family didn't know that the last time they came to my gambling house to smash the field, it was actually a few girls......"

Jiao Niang said, reaching out to touch Zhao Wanning's cheek.

How could the silver candle let her touch Zhao Wanning, and quickly reached out to push her.

I thought that Jiao Niang was slender and should not have much strength. But I didn't want the silver candle to use all his strength with both hands, but he didn't push Jiao Niang.

Jiao Niang didn't care, as if she didn't have any strength, she just stood in front of Yinzhu, let Yinzhu push her hard, she always had a smile on her face, and her eyes looked at Yinzhu with a bad look.

Silver Candle saw her like this, but she was really afraid.

She hurriedly said: "Picture screen, picture screen, this girl is not easy to deal with, you quickly take the county lord away, I will break it!" ”

The silver candle swore a swear, causing Jiao Niang to laugh out loud: "Wanning, you girl is quite loyal to the lord." ”

Before Yin Zhu could react when she heard this, she saw Jiao Niang bypassing her to hold Zhao Wanning's arm, and the two were like old friends who had known each other for a long time.

Or the painting screen leaned into the ear of the silver candle and said: "Those children are the place arranged by Jiao Niang." ”

Silver Candle suddenly realized, she was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "It turns out that you are all hiding from me!" ”

Zhao Wanning said embarrassedly: "We didn't hide it from you, it's just that you weren't there that night." ”
