Doctor Zheng hurried to Cheng Wanwan's house with the medicine box, and came out half an hour later with a dejected look on his face.
It was already dark by this time, and many villagers were gathered in the yard.
Seeing Doctor Zheng's appearance, everyone's hearts sank a little bit.
"What's wrong with Dashan Niang?"
"Mr. Zheng, tell me, are you unable to save me?"
"Dashan Niang has always been in good health, how could it be..."
Doctor Zheng shook his head: "I vomited a lot of blood, my body is empty, and it is difficult to cure with medicine and stone. I have to go to the city to ask a doctor..."
There was a cry of mourning all around.
Everyone couldn't believe it, especially Mrs. Zhao, who howled and rushed into the back room.
"Hahahaha!" He Yan laughed loudly when he heard about this, "Women are just petty-minded. They are just two wolves. How can they be so angry? It looks like they won't last more than two days."
He looked at the bowl of meat soup in front of him and pushed it out, "The wild wolf meat is too smelly. Share it among you."
"Thank you, sir, for the reward!"
Several followers shared the wolf meat soup.
At the same time, wolves howled loudly on the mountain.
"Ouch-ouch-"
"There are quite a few wild wolves on this mountain." The official sneered, "Find a time to go up the mountain and capture these wild wolves alive for stew."
"No, why do I feel like these wolf howls are getting closer?"
"Could it be that the wild wolves came down the mountain en masse?"
Several officials who were sitting in the yard eating meat and drinking were so frightened that they stood up.
Several people stood on the rocks and looked towards Dadong Mountain, and they saw dozens of pairs of green eyes.
"Ouch——"
The howls of wolves kept coming and going.
These people were so scared that they almost wet their pants. They quickly cleaned up the mess and hid in the house.
The door to Cheng Wanwan's house was closed tightly.
Zhao Sidan touched Xiaodian's head and whispered: "Okay, stop screaming. What if those crazy officials go to the mountain to catch your parents? Just scare them."
Xiao Hei jumped up and down in the yard angrily, restless.
At this time there was a knock on the courtyard door.
Zhao Sidan quickly said: "Xiaodian, Xiaohei, hurry up, hide."
The two guys immediately jumped into the house and hid in Cheng Wanwan's room. The main reason was that Cheng Wanwan bought some beef jerky, mutton jerky and other things from the mall from time to time and stuffed them into the mouths of the two little things. These two guys liked to stick together the most. she.
Outside, He Xiao came in.
With the chill of the early spring night wrapped around his body, he walked to the door of Cheng Wanwan's room and whispered: "Cousin, Mr. He is too much of a bully. Please allow me to teach you a lesson."
"Xiao He, come in." Cheng Wanwan was not lying on the bed at all. She was sitting on a chair playing with the two wolves. She pointed to the chair next to her, "Sit down."
He Xiao sat down politely, his face was very cold and covered with frost.
"May I ask, what is your relationship with Mr. He?" Cheng Wanwan said casually, "If the prefect wants to deal with this Mr. He, will the He family protect him?"
"It depends on how serious He Yan's crime is." He Xiao did not hide it, "He Yan and I have known each other since childhood. He had accomplished nothing many years ago. Later, he got an official position relying on his grandfather's merit. He was directly appointed as the sixth-grade salt and iron envoy without passing the imperial examination. Cousin, you can imagine how powerful the He family is."
"The things he committed in Dahe Village are actually nothing to the He family. Even if they go to the magistrate, the magistrate can't do anything about it, so--" His eyes turned cold, "I will step forward to kill him. solved."
"Don't be impulsive." Cheng Wanwan smiled, "I'm about to die. Although the death of a ninth-grade Sui child is nothing, what if I die with a blueprint that benefits the country and the people? ?The involvement in this process is huge."
She kicked out a wooden box next to her and said, "You know how to ride a horse? Hurry to Huzhou overnight and give this box to Magistrate Shen. There is a letter written by me in it. Magistrate Shen will know what to do after reading the letter." Done."
She originally planned to wait until Magistrate Shen returned to Ping'an County in three days before handing this thing over, but now, she didn't want to wait any longer.
If she waits one more day, the village will suffer another day. There are chickens, ducks, geese, piglets, lambs and rabbits in her backyard. She has worked so hard to raise them so big, but she doesn’t want to be harmed by those people.
He Xiao vaguely understood something, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I'll take a trip right away."
It took almost two hours to ride a carriage to Huzhou. He worked hard and arrived in more than half an hour. Fortunately, he was fast enough and rode in just as the city gate was about to close.
He was not a country man with little knowledge. When he arrived in Huzhou City, he made some inquiries and walked to the gate of the prefecture. Then he took out a couple of silver coins from his pocket and gave them to the gatekeeper. After a while, Master Yuan hurried from the gate of the prefecture. Came out.
"Isn't this Master He? It's so late. Why did you come to Huzhou suddenly? What happened?"
"I want to see the magistrate."
Master Yuan paused and said, "My lord, I have been staying up late these days to deal with official duties. I just went to bed now. What is the specific matter of congratulations to Master..."
He Xiao spoke slowly: "It has something to do with my cousin Sui Ruren. It's a matter of life and death."
"Quick, please come inside."
Master Yuan led the way and entered through the side door of the magistrate. He arrived at a side room in a side hall. Before he could knock on the door, Magistrate Shen's voice came from inside: "Master, what are your orders from the magistrate?"
"Sir, it's Master He who's here." Master Yuan's voice was solemn, "It's Sui Ruren who is in trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the side room was opened. Magistrate Shen was not even dressed neatly, and he looked anxious: "Master He, come in and talk."
He Xiao walked in with the box in his arms and sat down opposite Magistrate Shen: "In the past few days, Dahe Village has been in dire straits, and the people are in dire straits. All thanks to Mr. He, the houses in the village have been occupied, the elderly have been bullied, and the livestock He was killed...Zhao Shagen was kicked in the middle, Shagen's wife was almost raped by Mr. He, Li Zhengyi couldn't afford to fall ill, and even my cousin fell..."
"What?!" Magistrate Shen was shocked, "How could such a thing happen?"
"Although my cousin fell ill, she cared about the people. Even when she was critically ill, she never forgot her responsibilities as a Suiru citizen."
He Xiao opened the box at hand. Inside was a piece of briquettes, a letter and a drawing. However, there was a mouthful of blood on the drawing, and the slightly black blood blocked the important data.
"Originally, my cousin wanted to hand over the tools, but the tools were destroyed by those officials." He Xiao said in a low voice, "Although this drawing lacks key data, we can still get a general idea. Find some more craftsmen to try. , if you put more effort into it, you can always figure it out.”
Magistrate Shen didn't know what the black coal was, nor what was on the drawing, but he saw blood stains, a large blood stain, which was shocking, and his hands began to tremble.
He regretted leaving Ping'an County.
He shouldn't have left Dahe Village.
How could he...
With trembling hands, he opened the letter.
The letter mentioned what briquettes are, why they are made into this shape, and detailed information about what a briquette machine is and how to make it, but the drawings were destroyed...
"When people in Sui Ru were in danger, they actually thought about benefiting the country and the people. It really moved people to tears." Master Yuan's voice was choked with sobs. "Sir, this matter must be reported to the prefect, so that the prefect can step in and save Sui Ru." Ruren!"
Magistrate Shen stood up: "Let's go see the magistrate!"
