He Lingchuan lifted up his shirt and took a look, and found that the wounds he had suffered from the werewolf last night were indeed healing, and they did not hurt much. Including the wounds on his ribs where bones were almost visible, there was also a layer of thick scabs on the surface.
This was too fast. He Lingchuan turned around and grabbed a handful of pear candy and gave it to it: "With Lingguang here, I will suffer less."
Ling Guang wanted to say that serious monster monkeys don't eat sweets, but the pear candy was too fragrant, so he extended his paw to reject it instead of offering it, and silently accepted it.
He Chunhua entered the palace early in the morning and has not returned yet.
Next, He Lingchuan washed his face and changed clothes, then randomly stuffed a dozen large meat buns with two bowls of peanut soup mixed with eggs. He was sixty full before going out.
Deputy Liu was standing outside the door. He had changed his clothes, but he had two big dark circles under his eyes, and it was obvious that he had not slept all night.
As soon as he saw He Lingchuan, he bowed to the end and couldn't even lift his waist for a long time.
He Lingchuan asked curiously: "Why are you so polite all of a sudden?"
"Young Master He saved my life last night, I'm so grateful!" In the face of the crisis, He Lingchuan gave him the horse first. Assistant Liu worked until he was in his forties, and he had never been treated like this by a nobleman. Even if he was
The servants of the powerful family called him "assistant", but they didn't even bother to hide their contempt in their eyes.
"Since it's a cheap life, it's worthless, so why don't you say thank you?"
"..."
He Lingchuan chuckled: "Okay, stop being pretentious and work hard for me."
Before yesterday, Deputy Liu's respect for him was for the sake of money, but after yesterday it was from the bottom of his heart. He looked around to make sure that Yao Yuan had not appeared, and then lowered his voice and said: "Young Master He, you just hired an actress last morning
Just as an alchemist, I almost got killed last night! Do you think this ape is a dangerous person?"
He Lingchuan was startled. Assistant Liu had forgotten about it even if he didn't mention it.
"It will take some time to harm the previous masters." The more Deputy Liu thought about it, the more frightened he became. After all, he almost became a victim yesterday. "It doesn't take half a day for someone to be harmed by your side!"
"Okay, don't make any more random guesses. Don't you think it's going well?" He Lingchuan thought back to the way Lingguang looked at him last night and this morning, and he was really uneasy. "It's just a few wounds, but in exchange for a Northern Star Tundra
My fellow giant wolf, why do I feel so lucky?"
He climbed onto the carriage and said to the sad-looking Assistant Liu: "The ones who attacked us last night have now become homeless dogs and are about to be chased out of their homes. What else do you have to fear?"
He knew in his heart that Dong Rui might not be captured so easily, but one of his puppets was missing, the other two were injured, and he was being hunted all over the city. The puppet master had no time to settle accounts with the He family for the time being.
After going to Xiazhou, the He family was no longer afraid of him on their own territory.
At this moment, there is a general in the north, Nian Zanli Nian, who is waiting to settle the blood feud with him for killing his son. These old things happened before Yao Yuan came to seek refuge. When it comes to evil stars, I am afraid that He Lingchuan himself is the biggest evil star.
Deputy Liu thought about it. Besides, he was a big-ass little guy. Who would go out of his way to find trouble for him?
"So where to go now?"
"Take me to the Jinghe Hall at the foot of Beacon Mountain." He Lingchuan leaned back on the soft seat and yawned, "I want to visit the wounded."
As the carriage rumbled out, He Lingchuan opened the curtains and lamented once again that the prosperity and vitality of Shihuan was far beyond that of Blackwater City. The North Avenue was crowded with people, and the most important business in Shihuan City was at the northern pier, where goods going north and south had to be loaded and unloaded.
.
Dayuan gathered the strength of the whole country to support the prosperous capital and accompanying capital.
But He Lingchuan was walking south in the opposite direction. After turning a few turns, the road became narrower and more uneven. In addition to the lack of people, the buildings did not look so bright. The layout and scale were much smaller, and they began to get closer and closer.
He Lingchuan thought of his cabin in Panlong's dreamland.
It turns out that all bungalows in the world are pretty much the same.
Soon, the carriage passed by a wine shop. The facade was no longer glamorous. On the shaky signboard were two capital letters in bold ink: Xiang Rong.
Maotao seemed to have said that yesterday he and his brothers from Cingyingjun had a drink at this Xiangrong wine shop. It was a cheap, big bowl without water. The pig head meat that went with the wine was also plucked clean.
After more than a hundred feet, the road ahead suddenly became crowded and the carriage could hardly move.
He Lingchuan looked around and found that the crowd had surrounded a bungalow on three floors, inside and outside, and they were all crowded at the door talking.
People were being carried out from the house, which was covered with white cloth.
It's two dead people.
The cloth was not covered tightly, and a strong wind blew by, lifting the corners of the cloth, revealing a woman's face.
About twenty-four or five years old, neither fat nor ugly, with a deep cut on his neck.
Cutting the throat is fatal. This knife is very neat. He Lingchuan judged that the murder weapon was a short knife or a dagger, so the murderer was probably standing behind her, covering her mouth with one hand and slashing with the other, so that he would not attract the attention of the neighbors.
The door of the room was open, and he took a look inside. Grass grew between the cracks in the ground, and there were many debris piled in the corners of the room. The square table was lame, and was covered with half a broken book.
This family was very poor, so poor that even the dead were carried away, and the living people who were watching could only take away a few porcelain plates and bowls with corners missing.
He Lingchuan also noticed that several aunts secretly spit at the base of the wall.
Deputy Liu also came over to take a look and wondered: "Isn't this Yao Er's house? There are only two people in this family, and they were both carried out." He clicked his tongue, "I heard that the officials started searching for people in the early morning.
Fugitives, many civilians injured."
He Lingchuan pointed to the crowd: "Why did I hear someone pointing and saying, 'Sure enough, something will happen to these two sooner or later'?"
"That's because of his family's business. Yao Erniang's man went to fight on the front line. When he came back, he had a broken hand and a changed temperament. He was neither illiterate nor able to sell his strength. After he spent all the money he had as a pension, he let him
My wife is in the leather business, and the place of business is at her own home."
He Lingchuan understood: "It turned out to be a secret business."
"When they do this, they are unwilling to exchange money and will always offend others. Yao Erniang's husband often quarrels with guests, and the neighbors hear it many times."
He Lingchuan heard this and didn't say anything else. It was none of his business.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is no one’s business.
Even if two insignificant commoners, two lives worthy of wild dogs, died suddenly and strangely, it would not cause much excitement. After seven or eight days, others would forget about it.
…
Since the monarch stopped hunting in Luming Garden, there have been more and more houses and markets at the foot of Beacon Mountain.
When there are more people, medical clinics and pharmacies will follow.
Jinghetang is a chain of medical clinics run by the Fu family. Although this one at the foot of Beacon Hill is a branch, there is a famous doctor consulting in the front hall this month, so there is an endless stream of patients.
The back hall is divided into a medicine shop and a ward. Severe and seriously injured patients can rest here so that doctors can treat them nearby.
Assistant Liu asked the two people one after another, and then led He Lingchuan to find the target——
A street boy who was sent here for treatment by Ke Jihai's men last night.
This person has woken up, his hall is no longer dark, his face is paler, and he looks exhausted.
He was sitting on the bed, wrapped in a quilt and having breakfast.
A can of thin and thin millet porridge, a small plate of pickled melon rind, and half a pancake.
The pancake must be very hard, and the boy didn't even gnaw it after two bites.
The ward was large and had many patients, but there was only a brazier in the corner, which obviously lacked heat.
He also recognized He Lingchuan, put down the pancake, and did not make any gesture to get down to the ground. He just clasped his fists and said: "Master He!"
"You just have to eat. How is your injury?" He Lingchuan thought to himself that this man is also interesting. Everyone respects him as the eldest son, and only the young man Wen Chuchu calls him "young master".
The young man picked up the jar and drank the porridge until he was drunk: "The doctor said I can't die."
"My mother is grateful for your protection and specifically asked me to visit." He Lingchuan said, taking out a sandalwood box and handing it to him to open. "It's a small gift, but I cannot thank you for it."
Neatly placed in the box were two night-light pearls the size of lychees, which were extremely round and round; there were also two squares of fine mutton-fat white biscuits, which looked like fat meat, white and smooth.
The things Mrs. Ying used to reward her for saving her life were meager. These four treasures could be sold for at least two hundred taels of silver.
Even in Shihuan City, this amount of money is enough for a family of four to live comfortably for several years.
"It's such a small effort, but Sun is too embarrassed to accept it." The young man did not expect the He family's thank you gift to be so valuable, and could not hide his surprise for a moment, "How is Mrs. Ying?"
"She... was a little frightened and is still recovering today."
"I wonder how last night ended?"
The boy was hit by a poisonous arrow last night and passed out early, so he didn't see the end of the play.
At this time, Assistant Liu took a step forward, put the entire basket of fruits on the table, and opened the lid. Then he left the hospital and went to do other things He Lingchuan told him.
In the basket are two large packages of strawberries and one large package of red dates.
In the cold winter, fruits are more expensive than meat.
"Last night, it was a bit complicated." He Lingchuan stroked his chin, "In short, both the werewolf and the ghost ape were subdued, but the ghost ape was later rescued by its owner, and we haven't found it yet."
"Are there any casualties?"
"The injuries are all on me and General Ke. There is a coachman who was shot in the left eye and was incurable when he was brought here. You are more lucky than him." He Lingchuan said, "My father has given his family a heavy pension.
."
He was really lucky, so the young man let out a long sigh. He Lingchuan saw that he looked quite melancholy.
Next, the young man reported his family name. His surname was Sun and his given name was Hongye. He was once the companion of the third son of the He family in Fangtai. He left the He family a few months ago and now works as a bookkeeper in a rice shop.
"Who's home in Fangtai?" Why does it sound familiar?
"It is the home of He Liwen, the imperial censor. You already met the third son of the He family yesterday."
"Oh!" He Lingchuan remembered, "He Su?"
Sun Hongye nodded.
"Then why did you go to Luming Garden to find General Ke?"
"I..." The young man pursed his lips into a thin line, his face was a little dazed, and he hesitated for a while, "I recommend myself to General Ke."
He Lingchuan became even more curious: "What position are you looking for?"
"Staff, strategist!" Now that he had said it, Sun Hongye simply let go and said, "Instead of waiting in disgrace in Shi Huan, it is better for Shi Ying to take charge of building a career!"
