On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 1923 Door-to-door search

Feng Shao's flattery made the servant very happy.

Sun Qing pricked up his ears to listen, but felt that it would be inappropriate to just listen and do nothing, so he opened his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, the servant was stunned.

These eyes are black and bright, and they don't look like those of a fool.

When Feng Shao saw this, he quickly gave the steamed bun to Sun Qing, touched his head, and closed his eyes.

"Don't cry, second brother, close your eyes and go back to sleep. I'll give you the steamed bun, but I won't eat it."

He whispered in Sun Qing's ear in a very low voice: "You are a fool."

Sun Qing: “…” I almost forgot about this.

……

Cao Shu walked towards the boat, feeling dazed and confused all the way, his mind a little unclear. The sun shone down, making him dizzy.

What should I say when I get back?

How to trick them into going to the grove?

How do you explain all these injuries?

Cao Shu felt that there were too many questions that could not be explained and he could not justify himself, so how could he trick them into going?

When he got near the boat, he didn't dare to go in and hesitated.

Suddenly, someone slapped him from behind.

He was startled and turned around to meet an angry face.

"Cao Shu, it's so hard for us to find you, but you actually..."

Before he could finish the rest of his words, he stopped abruptly when he saw Cao Shu's colorful face.

"What happened to your face? Who hit you?"

Cao Shu's fear, worry, and pain all surged up at once, and he fainted.

When I woke up again, I heard someone talking without opening my eyes.

"He came back like this, most likely because he lost the bet and got beaten up by the gambling den guys."

"Humph, you are useless!"

"I think this time is different. It doesn't look like he lost a bet. He lost a bet before and was beaten, so he asked us to redeem him. But it's not like this."

"Now that you put it that way, it is indeed..."

Cao Shu didn't open his eyes. As he listened to these words, he suddenly had an idea.

He closed his eyes and pretended to be hysterical: "Don't, don't hit my brother, come to me if you have any problems!"

"Third brother! Run, Third brother, leave me alone."

When they heard this, they looked at each other in surprise.

The man called "Third Brother" came over and looked at Cao Shu.

"What happened to him? Is he in trouble?"

Everyone was silent.

Cao Shu suddenly sat up, opened his eyes, and met his third brother's face. After a moment of shock, he held his third brother's face in surprise.

"Third brother, you're okay, that's great."

"I just dreamed that we were attacked by people on other boats, and you were injured trying to save me. I was so sad."

The third brother's heart trembled, and the others did not say anything.

In the past, there were many people on the boats on the river, so it was not easy to unify them all at once. Fighting and being beaten were common occurrences.

But as time went by, these things were gradually forgotten.

When Cao Shu mentioned it, everyone remembered it again.

The third brother asked, "What happened? Who hit you?"

Cao Shu lowered his head and remained silent, tears still falling.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little confused. Cao Shu loved to be cunning and lazy, but he rarely shed tears in silence like this.

This is a serious situation.

Everyone gathered around.

After repeated questioning, Cao Shu wiped away his tears and said, "I did go to the gambling house, but before I even got in, I ran into the Zhao family. Not only did they rob me of my money, they also hung me up and beat me up."

The story was fake, but the beating was real, Cao Shu said, feeling sad.

She cried as she spoke, and by the end she was almost believing it.

"They asked me to meet them at midnight in the woods outside the city to continue the fight. Otherwise, they would call us cowards and beat us every time we met."

"That's unreasonable!"

"Go, fight them!"

……

Feng Shao and Sun Qing returned to the inn through the back door.

Seeing the two people dressed like this, Huo Changhe held his forehead and said, "This is not a solution. We need to find another place to live."

Who would stay in an inn and climb over the wall or go through the back door every day?

Besides, there are too many people here and it is really not very convenient.

Yan Ruyu nodded in agreement: "Okay, it shouldn't be difficult to find a house in Rongzhou."

The economy was in recession and people were having a hard time. Every household had lost relatives and empty houses and yards were common.

As he was talking, Feng Shao and Sun Qing also cleaned up and came over to reply.

Sun Qing still had the steamed bun in his hand. Huo Changhe looked at him twice - he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Sun Qing's eyes were much clearer after coming back from going out.

Feng Shao replied, "Master, Madam, the two of us are outside the Su Mansion and have heard some news."

"Su Zhenhai will be at home from today until the 15th. His son's condition is serious and complicated. He hasn't called a doctor in yet, so I think he has given up on treatment."

Yan Ruyu frowned: "Why is it after the 15th?"

Feng Shao smiled and said, "Madam, you hit the nail on the head. His son's condition becomes more serious on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, but he will get better after that."

Huo Changhe was puzzled: "How come this disease occurs according to the day of the week?"

"According to the Su family's servants, this is the case. As for why, no one can explain it clearly."

Yan Ruyu said softly, "Speaking of illness, there are also cases where the disease relapses due to some kind of stimulation, seeing something, or remembering something, but when it comes to dates..."

"What's so special about the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month?"

"moon."

"Incense."

"Sacrifice."

Several people mentioned several options.

Yan Ruyu's eyes lit up: "I remember that the Water God Temple also holds sacrifices on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month."

"But later on, the first day of the lunar month was cancelled, leaving only the fifteenth day. The water temple in that small town was also cancelled."

"Could it be," Feng Shao thought, "that Su Zhenhai also wants to participate in the sacrifice, so he has to wait until the fifteenth day?"

No one can answer this question clearly.

"Have you inquired about the deserter?"

"I've asked around, but the servants don't know about this," Feng Shao shook his head. "I'll go to the military camp outside the city tomorrow..."

Huo Changhe waved his hand: "No need. You have already gathered a lot of information today. If we go to the military camp again, we will definitely arouse suspicion."

"Wait a minute."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise outside.

It was the bailiffs who came to search.

The search for the theft in the governor's mansion was not abandoned.

Yan Ruyu gave them a wink and they retreated back to the yard first.

Yan Ruyu returned to her room and put away the things that were not in use at the moment.

Huo Changhe was in the yard. The searchers came in and saw him. They looked him over and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Business," he replied calmly.

"what business?"

"I do all kinds of business. This time I came here to do water shipping and build a few boats."

The constable heard this and looked at him again: "That would cost a lot of money. Do you have any money?"

Huo Changhe smiled faintly: "You don't have to worry about that."

"You...how dare you have such an attitude!"

"I prove my strength to whoever I do business with. Do you want to do business with me?" Huo Changhe asked. "How can a constable be so arrogant? Rongzhou is a truly terrible place."

"This time, no matter what Liu Balang's shipping manager says, I won't stay any longer."
