The old county magistrate told the woman that it was all seized by the Marquis.
Why is the Marquis interested in these three poor people?
Because the three of them knew a young doctor who was a genius in medicine.
What kind of genius does this young man have? Because the Marquis was on his way up the mountain to seek enlightenment two days ago. He saw this young doctor treating two of his injured sedan bearers who had broken their legs.
The Marquis wanted to take in the young man, so he planned to detain the three men first. Because the three men were in danger on the way to escape, they were rescued by the young man. The Marquis thought that the young man would not ignore the news.
"Master, are you kidding? What kind of person is the Marquis? What kind of talents does he have under his command? Does he lack a doctor? Even if he does, if he wants to accept this young doctor, he can just find him directly. There is no need to go around such a big circle. , isn’t this taking off your pants and farting to cause trouble?” the woman said.
"You know your shit, it's a woman's opinion." The old county magistrate chuckled, and then he heard two slaps on the flesh, and then the woman exaggerated "ouch" and screamed, "Why did you hit me, my ass?" I'm going to break it for you..."
"Hehe, I can't bear to beat you. It's too late for me to love you. I'm reminding you that you've been with me for so long and you're still so ignorant. The reason why the Marquis wants to outwit the young man is because he has seen that the young man must have had some past experiences. In a human place, if such a person is approached directly, he will definitely not want to surrender."
The woman laughed and asked the master to speak quickly.
The old county magistrate said what was so special about that young man that he deserved the Marquis's troubles?
That's because the Marquis saw that the young man knew the medical skills of the immortal family. Otherwise, how could the two bearers with broken legs get up and lift the sedan immediately?
Zhao Chuan curled his lips secretly. The more he listened, the more he felt that the old county magistrate was talking nonsense. The doctor he was talking about was obviously himself. He just accidentally obtained some lost medical skills, and it was not as magical as he said.
But this county magistrate was able to explain everything clearly, and everything that happened was actually correct. Zhao Chuan was very curious and patiently listened.
The woman interjected and said, "Isn't that right? Master, I heard that the Marquis is busy conquering the rebellion of the northern mob. How can he have time to do this? Why did he return to his old career and start to practice immortality and alchemy?" Does he want to imitate Qin Shihuang?
The old county magistrate chuckled again, and then he heard two soft slaps on the flesh. Zhao Chuan secretly cursed that the old pervert was probably slapping the woman's butt again, but he also admired how good this old guy was. Not only is the character a master flirt, but the story is also really well told.
The county magistrate said that there was actually no mob rebellion in the north, and that the chaos was only for outsiders to see, including the one who had recently requested that Han Qiaosheng, a wealthy family in Jiangzhou, be reinstated to his post to help him quell the rebellion. In fact, Han Qiaosheng was just going through the motions, and he hadn't left Jiangzhou at all!
The woman asked in a surprised tone, so the mob rebellion was staged. Why?
The old county magistrate snorted and said, "Isn't it just for money?" When a mob rebels, they have reason to ask the emperor for money and send troops to suppress it. Who in the world doesn't like money?
The woman oh-ohed twice, then burst into laughter.
Then there were two more soft slaps on the flesh, and the old county magistrate then praised the woman for what she just said was right. The Marquis has recently been keen on practicing immortality and alchemy. In my opinion, he does not want to imitate Qin Shihuang, but wants to be Qin Shihuang!
The woman exclaimed and said, "Master, please don't talk nonsense. If you talk nonsense, you will be beheaded."
The old county magistrate snorted again and said that someone was going to be beheaded, but it was not me. Don’t worry, I have an idea!
There was a moment of silence, and Zhao Chuan thought he had nothing to say and was about to leave. Suddenly the woman chuckled and said, "No, sir, are you telling me stories again? I know you used to be a storyteller and can make up stories." "
The old county magistrate seemed to be sleepy and said vaguely that he didn't make it up, but it was all true.
Perhaps the woman was often addicted to listening to the master's stories, and she became interested and immediately asked, "Master, you are just a small county magistrate, how could you know the matter in such detail? And you said you weren't making it up."
The old county magistrate seemed to be really sleepy, so he simply said, "Why do you know so much? Because there are my people in the Marquis' Mansion, and I took all the trouble to hold it in this small place. Do you know why? I..."
There was a snoring sound, but there was no more sound behind.
Zhao Chuan knew that this rescue was fruitless, because even if he could force his way into the dungeon, he would not be able to take away his grandfather and grandson safely, so he had to return to the inn to rest.
The next day, Zhao Chuan got up very late because he had something on his mind that he couldn't solve and was in a bad mood.
Do these three people, grandfather and grandson, want to be saved? Logically speaking, they have no close relationship with me, they just met by chance, and they have saved their lives once before, so I don't owe them anything.
But if we don't save them, the three of them, the grandfather and the grandson, are afraid that they will die in prison. Even if the two children survive, they will inevitably end up being betrayed by the officials. What a miserable life it is for the common people.
To save it, my current ability seems to be insufficient. I have no experience at all in dealing with official people.
After much deliberation, Zhao Chuan finally felt that he had to find a way to save him, because he had promised to send the three of them to Mengcheng, and his promise must be counted.
Another reason is that the old man Jin Changgeng was originally injured. Now that he has been in the dungeon, his heart is hurt and his body is injured. If this time goes by, it will be more dangerous than the other. If the old man dies, leaving these two behind. The young man was afraid of becoming an orphan again like himself. Thinking about my own situation and feeling sympathy for others, I feel that I still need to save others.
But how to save it?
Zhao Chuan stayed at the inn, worrying about it all day but couldn't think of any good solution.
At night, Zhao Chuan suddenly realized that what the old county magistrate said seemed to make sense. No one from the officials came to look for him directly. This meant that the officials did not come to find him from the beginning that day, but came specifically to arrest that person. The three of them. They must have known that they were not in the inn before they came to arrest the three men.
It seems that catching the three men is their goal, but it is not. Their fundamental goal is themselves, but they do not come directly to him, and to catch the three men, this is really a high trick.
Bad officials will use these methods, and the twists and turns are very unpleasant. Zhao Chuan cursed secretly.
Since their purpose of arresting the three men is to induce them to think of saving people, then if they don't save people for a day, then the three men will not be in danger, because if the three men die, they will not save people. . So the three of them are safe for the time being and there is no need to worry.
But why can officials be so sure that they will try to save people?
What if you don't want to save people?
If he didn't save them, the three of them might die, but such a result would not cause any loss to the official family, just a few civilians would die. This stupid official treats human life like a trivial matter, it's not worth anything.
But can you not save yourself? The other party also believed that he would go.
Zhao Chuan finally made up his mind that this person still had to be saved, but if he couldn't be saved for the time being, he would do other things first. He is now going to Lingyin Mountain Qingfeng Temple again.
In fact, Zhao Chuan asked the three of them to wait for him at the inn, and the place he went to on those two days was also Qingfengguan.
He went to Qingfengguan to inquire about his third uncle, because he considered that once he escorted the three of them to Mengcheng, he might not come back again, unless his third uncle returned to Qingfengguan, but that was unlikely because Huang Jin I had inquired for him before, and the Taoist priest named Zhen Yuanzi said that his third uncle was away all year round and rarely came back.
Zhao Chuan only stayed on the mountain for two days that day because when he went to Qingfeng Temple early in the morning on the first day, he found the Taoist priest named Zhen Yuanzi and said that a man named Huang Jin came to ask Xuan Jing a few days ago. If the Taoist priest is here, he is asking for me.
Unexpectedly, Zhen Yuanzi said that it was a coincidence that you came. Master Xuanjing had just come back, but as soon as he came back, he meditated in seclusion without seeing anyone.
Zhao Chuan thought to himself that his third uncle was a Taoist priest but not a monk. Why should he be in solitary confinement? What kind of martial arts was he practicing?
Zhao Chuan asked when he would leave seclusion?
Zhen Yuanzi said that this was not necessarily the case. It could take as little as a few hours or as long as a few days. In short, Master Xuanjing could come out of seclusion at any time, and the most important thing is that after he comes out of seclusion, he usually gives a sermon. But he immediately went out again and did not stay in the temple for long.
Is that so? Zhao Chuan was even more confused about what the trouble was with this third uncle. He didn't come back for a long time, and then left immediately after finally coming back. This Taoist priest was working too hard.
Zhen Yuanzi asked what the relationship was between Zhao Chuan and Uncle Xuan Jing. Zhao Chuan remembered that his great-grandfather had said that he should conceal his identity, so he said that they were from his hometown and distant relatives. Then he took off the pear wood pendant and gave it to Zhen Yuanzi, saying that Taoist priest Xuan Jing would understand it when he saw it.
It was not easy to come here once, so Zhao Chuan planned to stay at the Taoist temple and wait for his third uncle to leave the customs at any time, but Qingfeng Temple had rules and never allowed outsiders to stay.
Maybe Zhen Yuanzi saw Zhao Chuan's difficulties, or he wanted to get close to Zhao Chuan, so he told Zhao Chuan that there was a cave on the mountainside not far from here. Someone used to practice martial arts in it. The place was very big and spacious. He stayed overnight and said that if his uncle came out of seclusion, he would go and tell him immediately.
Zhao Chuan was overjoyed and said it was great, so he would bother the Taoist priest.
Zhao Chuan went to find a cave where he could sleep.
In fact, it is not easy to find a good place to sleep in the mountains, because you have to find a place that is sheltered from wind and rain, relatively dry, and relatively safe, because there are wolves, worms, and wild animals in the mountains, so you can't just sleep there. Eaten.
Finally, he saw a cave on the cliff, which was more than ten feet high from the ground and somewhat hidden. Zhao Chuan was very happy. He felt that this place could really be used to practice martial arts in seclusion.
I hope there are no venomous snakes or beasts in the cave. Although Zhao Chuan knows some martial arts now, it is still very troublesome to deal with those beasts that do not understand human language. Those things will fight you tooth and nail as soon as they come up, and maybe both sides will suffer, which is not fun.
But what are you afraid of? As soon as Zhao Chuan saw this cave, a big guy came out of the grass not far away and stared at him coldly.
That guy is not tall, has a body like a big fat dog, and has the head of a donkey, a little wild donkey?
When Zhao Chuan was wondering, the guy suddenly roared and ran towards him, showing his long fangs. Oh my god, what kind of weird thing is this? This is meat eating.
Zhao Chuan ran with all his strength towards the cliff cave he just saw.
Zhao Chuan ran very fast and rushed to the cave. There was a small tree in front of the cave entrance. He cheered up and jumped into the cave.
The space inside is quite large, and there are even stone tables and benches.
The donkey-headed monster lost its target, so it was naturally unwilling to accept it and roared back and forth under the cave.
Zhao Chuan was too tired and didn't want to think too much about it. He found a dry place and lay down, taking a nap first.
When Zhao Chuan woke up again, he was awakened by a burst of thunder.
When he opened his eyes, a heavy rain was already falling freely outside the cave.
Zhao Chuan was glad that he found this deep and large hole in time, otherwise he would have fallen ill if he had not been soaked to death.
After a while, it got dark and the heavy rain still continued. Zhao Chuan knew that the rain in the mountains was like this. Sometimes it rained for three or two days, which was normal.
The mountain wind combined with the rain made Zhao Chuan feel a little cold, and he slowly began to worry about how he would eat and sleep on this rainy night.
Zhao Chuan walked to the entrance of the cave and looked down. He saw that the donkey-headed monster was soaked in the rain and was guarding the nearby forest not far from the entrance of the cave, still refusing to leave.
Zhao Chuan's hometown also has mountains, but he has never seen or heard of this kind of beast.
Zhao Chuan wanted to leave this dangerous place, but it was raining so heavily outside and it was getting late. Where could he hide in such deep mountains and wild forests?
Zhao Chuan turned around helplessly and looked at the stone tables and benches in the cave. He secretly thought that this was an owner's cave. Who left it behind?
Zhao Chuan stared at the rain in a daze. There was an open space in front of the cliff. Suddenly he saw two people, one tall and one short, running in the distance. They probably wanted to hide from the rain. It was really nice to see people in this wild mountain.
But thinking that there were man-eating donkey-headed monsters hiding nearby, Zhao Chuan waved at them anxiously to try to stop them.
The two people also saw Zhao Chuan at the entrance of the cliff cave. Seeing Zhao Chuan waving his hand, they thought it was an invitation and ran faster with joy.
Oops! Sure enough, not far from the cave entrance, the donkey-headed monster sprang out and ran towards the two of them.
The two were horrified, throwing away their belongings and running towards the cave entrance.
Fortunately, the heavy rain slowed down the donkey-headed monster, and it slipped and slipped several times, allowing the two of them to successfully reach the cave.
"Climb the tree! Climb the tree quickly!" Zhao Chuan pointed at the small tree at the entrance of the cave and shouted anxiously.
But the small tree with thick arms could not withstand the weight of the two of them. The small tree was swaying and was about to break and fall.
It’s over! Zhao Chuan secretly thought it was not good.
