"Where is this?" Ao Shiyan asked his sister while drinking porridge with his good hand. He had been falling asleep and did not wake up when he arrived in this small town.
Ao Shichu said: "This is a small town that our caravan passed by. We are now in an inn. Captain Hou said that almost all of our people are injured and we have to stay here for a few days to recover."
After hearing this, Ao Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It really needs to be repaired. We encountered robbers and escaped from death this time. Everyone must be frightened."
"Brother, don't worry so much now, just rest and recover." Ao Shichu told him.
The injury on Ao Shiyan's arm was not serious. Ao Shichu changed his dressing and checked that there was no sign of inflammation in the wound, and then gave him some relief.
Ao Shiyan looked at his sister in surprise as he expertly changed his own dressing, and said, "Sister, why didn't I know that you can bandage people's wounds before? And you also know what medicine to give me." correct."
Ao Shiyan replied nonchalantly: "Didn't my mother always treat people in the village before she died? I learned a lot about it. You went to school every day at that time, so of course you didn't know."
When the biological mother of the brother and sister was still alive, she would indeed treat the villagers for minor ailments such as headaches and fever, so Ao Shiyan immediately believed his sister's words, thinking that she had learned medicine well from her mother and had never thought of treating the villagers. There is a difference between having a headache and a fever and treating these injuries.
Ao Shichu and Ao Shiyan's home was originally in Mobei. Their father was a centurion under the Mobei Zhenbei Army, but unfortunately he died in a battle between the Zhenbei Army and the barbarians a year ago.
Their mother had passed away three years ago, so after their father also passed away, the brother and sister became helpless orphans.
Ao Shiyan was only sixteen years old. He did not inherit his father's martial arts talent. He only liked reading, so he was a gentle scholar with no power.
And in a place like Mobei, which could face alien invasion at any time and never know when it would be lost, he, a weak scholar, could not protect himself and his sister.
Therefore, in desperation, they decided to seek refuge with a cousin of their mother. It was said that the cousin was married to the concubine of the Marquis of Rong'an in the capital and was living a good life.
The brother and sister just wanted to go away for a few years, and when Ao Shiyan was weak, he would take his sister out to start his own business. They did not intend to live off their cousin in the Hou Mansion.
The brother and sister had planned well, but after entering the Rong'anhou Mansion, everything would not go as they expected.
In the eyes of the people in the Rong'an Hou Mansion, they were poor relatives who came from a remote country and came to the Hou Mansion to enjoy the autumn breeze without any self-awareness. Therefore, no master of the Hou Mansion looked down upon them, not even their cousin, or even the Hou Mansion. Some decent servants can step on them.
Ao Shiyan, the brother and sister, suffered a lot of humiliation in the Marquis' Mansion where they were flattered and downtrodden. The original owner was not willing to be looked down upon and bullied forever. He also saw the wealth and splendor in the Marquis of Rong'an's Mansion, so he couldn't help but give birth to the spirit of climbing the dragon and the phoenix. She was determined to marry someone with a higher status than the Marquis, and to take revenge on those who had bullied their brothers and sisters, so that no one would dare to bully them again.
So she worked hard to become a prince's concubine. However, it was not easy to cling to the powerful, especially since she was not good at intrigues and did not have a strong family background to support her. Therefore, after entering the prince's backyard, she became a queen within a few years. died suddenly.
The original owner's brother had already been admitted as a scholar and saw a bright future. However, after he knew that his sister died unexpectedly, he wanted to avenge her. In the process of revenge, he was involved in the struggle for the prince to seize the throne. In the end, not only was he unable to give My sister took revenge and even died inexplicably.
In the plot of the original world, the brother and sister were a pair of cannon fodder who met a tragic end. Their short lives ended quickly before they had time to enjoy the beauty of life.
Ao Shichu recalled the fate of the brother and sister in the original world plot. Naturally, it was impossible for him to seek refuge with his cousin in the Rong'an Marquis Mansion, but he still wanted to go to the capital. After all, there were many good academies in the capital, and Ao Shiyan could study there. , the imperial examination will be easier in the future.
The next day, Ao Shichu went to the small town drugstore and bought a lot of medicine for injuries. After all, she had to change Ao Shiyan's medicine. The medicine box didn't have that many medicines for her. If she got medicine from her companion space, She came out to use it many times, and she didn't know when she would be exposed. In order to reduce trouble, she could only do this.
In addition, she continued to pay attention to the news about the group of robbers. After walking around the streets and alleys several times, she heard some very useful news.
She learned from several beggars that their magistrate was extremely wealthy. He was said to have married more than a dozen beautiful concubines and had a large number of children. Logically speaking, his salary would not be able to support such a large family. But not only did he make a living, he also maintained a very wealthy life: he often bought jewelry for his concubines; his children were also very generous when they went out to buy things, and they often gave money to others...
Although I heard that the magistrate is not a wealthy son of a famous family, he does have a lot of relatives in his family, and they are all doing well. Relatives often come to give him things, and there are several or even a dozen carriages for each gift, which makes everyone Everyone was envious and secretly hated themselves for not having such generous relatives.
It's just that the county magistrate and his relatives are not easy to mess with. They look fierce and murderous in their eyes, which is very scary...
Ao Shichu originally thought that these beggars were envious of the wealthy life of the county magistrate, but when he heard it, he felt something was wrong: What kind of relatives would come to give people things from time to time?
Especially those relatives who look fierce and scary?
Ao Shichu had just fought against robbers, so he was naturally a little more sensitive. When he heard it, he felt that the temperaments of the vicious relatives of the magistrate were very similar to those of the robbers. Could they really be those robbers, right?
Rice Ball Exploration
If it is true, it would be interesting. The county magistrate colludes with the robbers, robs the passing caravans, and then divides the spoils?
No wonder the government failed to eradicate the section of road where the robbers were infested, even though they were less than three or four hours away from here. Or maybe they did, but could never be eradicated? It would be strange if there is no mole here!
Ao Shichu felt that he had gotten the news he wanted.
She has no intention of seeking revenge on the escaped robbers and the county magistrate. She is just an ordinary citizen now, and professional matters should be done by professionals.
After Ao Shichu planned to leave, he sent an anonymous report letter to the political opponents of the county magistrate and his superiors, reporting that the magistrate colluded with the robbers and officials to seek wealth and death.
