What County Magistrate Zhang wanted was the money that he had accumulated for most of his life. If he wanted to obtain that money, he had two plans, one was to use a greater benefit to exchange with Zhao Tianhu. The other was to use a force stronger than Zhao Tianhu's to steal it.
But he didn't have the qualifications to carry out either of these plans... However, the moment the Lord Messenger Yun Duan entered his residence, he suddenly realized that he had met both of these requirements …
He first told Yun Duan about the disaster in the city. How pitiful they were, how long they had been hungry, and how much money they needed. He had chatted with the Prefecture Overseer when he went to the Prefecture Overseer's Prefecture Overseer's Prefecture Overseer. Now, he had been asked to use the Prefecture Overseer to jabber on.
After that, he would discuss the next step with the messenger and also inform him about the dark situation in the prefecture, saying that he had visited the prefecture many times but had no results …
After all the discussions about the calamities that he did not care about, he sent the messenger to the prefecture city to ask for silver and grain. He heard that a small portion of the food sent by the government had already arrived at the prefecture city and that he did not have much face, so if the messenger were to appear, he would definitely be able to save the people in the city.
But amongst them, he discovered many things that made him feel weird, that the Young Master Wang did not seem to be an ordinary person, and that even Yun Duan, Yun Chin, was extremely obedient to him. When Yun Qin was about to leave, he seemed to have realized what was extremely unwilling. In the end, it was the Young Master Wang who told him to go.
As long as he goes, as long as we separate the people with the best martial arts, I will be able to kill them one by one. First was to control the Young Master Wang.
If it was before, it would be impossible for him to take things and exchange them for his own silver, but it was different now. In the past, Zhao Tianhu would always come to the bottom of the mountain to snatch all the food, but now it was different. Where would he go to snatch all the food? But wouldn't it be fine when the imperial food was served?
Yun Duan would definitely not be willing to do that, so he only needed to use the Young Master Wang that Yun Che valued so much as a bargaining chip, and he could even directly hand the Young Master Wang over to Zhao Tianhu. He wanted Yun Qin to send someone to bite Zhao Tianhu. It would be fine as long as he could bring back the items from his own house.
Thinking of this, he could not help but feel extremely proud of his intelligence. As for that little girl. County Magistrate Zhang thought about Zhuang Li's face and felt that it was extremely beautiful. Even though he had lived to this age, he had never seen such a beautiful woman before. Although exhausted and thin, she was definitely a beauty. If he could get her, then what was there to be unsatisfied about?
When he thought of this, he felt that the private school teacher's teachings were very reasonable. Life was about first suffering and then being sweet. After half a month, he first encountered bandits and then encountered water difficulties. He didn't expect that these three people would be like a gift from the heavens.
And the thing that was lacking in beauty was that this little 99-90 in his heart was seen by his wife. County Magistrate Zhang's daughter-in-law had never been someone who was easy to deal with. After marrying the County Magistrate Zhang for so many years, how could he not know what he had been thinking?
At a critical moment, he still had to rely on her good son. That Zhang Bao intentionally lured Zhuang Li into the water and pretended to be drowning, causing Zhuang Li to think that he had water grasses wrapped around his feet. This was the perfect time to knock her out and trap her with water grasses so that she wouldn't be able to float up and disappear from this world. It was a perfect match.
It was just that she did not expect that the Young Master Wang would arrive in time to rescue her …
However, it seemed like he wouldn't be able to survive. As long as she could break the perverted heart of the County Magistrate Zhang, she would be at ease.
The subordinate of the County Magistrate Zhang did find a doctor on the street, he was a rather famous doctor on the street, the flood wiped out his entire family's store of medicine, and he felt very uncomfortable looking at the victims on the ground. He never thought that the county magistrate would send someone to invite him, saying that someone in the family was sick, and wanted him to take a look.
How much does he hate county magistrate? To collect taxes and disregard human life, what can't be done? He couldn't afford to offend someone who asked him to treat his family's patients. But now, he actually had an extremely good opportunity to refuse him.
"I don't have tools or medicinal herbs, how can I help you?" He thought to himself, It's best if you die from sickness, you old thing.
But the official refused to leave, saying, "county magistrate only wants you to go take a look, it doesn't matter if you have the tools or not, we don't care if you have the herbs, you have to go anyway!"
With that, he tied the doctor up. He dragged her all the way to county magistrate's residence and directly put her in jail …
At first, the doctor thought that there was something wrong with the county magistrate again and wanted to lock him up. He had done this kind of thing before, so he could find an excuse to lock the person up first and then ask his family for money. But afterwards, the citizens of Lijiang County were really too poor. Let alone locking them up, even if they had to be executed in the county, they wouldn't be able to take out any money … Only then did the county magistrate give up on this kind of trick.
When the old doctor saw Zhuang Li lying in the cell, he immediately realized that the woman was injured. If he went in for a bit, the woman would not be able to understand his injuries. His mind was not clear enough. The man in the cell next to her seemed to be her husband, but at the same time didn't seem to be. He asked her about her illness with concern.
The old doctor was very kind. All the poor people on this street had received his kindness before. He knew in his heart that this dog county magistrate wasn't a good person. Those who could be locked up by him were most likely good people … Moreover, from the looks of the prison environment, it wasn't a place where a person could stay … Being so dirty, even if he wasn't sick, he would still fall sick!
The doctor had a good impression of Zhuang Li, and told him the truth, "My injuries are not light, if I do not get treatment, I am afraid there is nothing left to live for. "I also want to save her, but the treatment she needs isn't something that can be cured just by lying here …"
"Doctor, please save her. When I get out, no matter how much money I have, I will give it to you!"
The old doctor was also in a difficult position as he said:
"It's not a matter of money. My medicine store has already been flooded by water, I can go up the mountain to dig some herbs, but there's one that can cure internal injuries. Even if I scour the entire Lijiang County City, I still won't be able to find it."
"What kind of medicine is this?" Wang Su asked.
"Rhinoceros horn." That old doctor sighed after he finished speaking. Originally, he had a piece in his medicine store, but this flood had directly washed away those boxes of medicinal herbs. I don't know where they went with the river...
While the doctor was in a dilemma, Wang Su took out a small object from his waist that was hanging on a jade pendant. Originally, when they entered the cell, the county magistrate ordered them to collect all their valuables. However, at that time, he didn't notice such a small item. It looked black and worthless, so he didn't pay any attention to it. However, the old doctor opened his eyes in surprise when he saw the dim light shining through the small window above his head.
"Young master! This! This is a White Rhino's horn! "
"Can I take the medicine?"
The doctor was already exceptionally surprised. She came back to her senses and answered repeatedly.
"Yes, yes. The effects of the medicine are naturally much better than the black rhinoceros horn!" It was a pity that this was something that could not be traded at all on the market. Even ten years ago, there were those who claimed that there was no such thing as a white rhinoceros' horn in this world anymore. "
"It's enough to be able to save her life. Doctor, I'll have to trouble you then. When I get out of here, I'll definitely reward you handsomely!"
The old doctor raised his head and looked at this humble young master with his humble words. He had already faintly realised that this young master was not an ordinary man.
He put away the rhinoceros' horn and rushed out of the prison. Then, he brought his disciple to a nearby mountain to dig up herbs.
In the evening, a bowl of boiled soup had been warmed with a pot and sent to the prison.
When Zhuang Li woke up, she saw that Wang Su was still guarding beside him. Although they were separated by a cage, it made her feel that at that moment in time, there was nothing between the two of them at all, and there was no deceit or lie due to the disparity in status. Wang Su was Wang Su, and she liked him, but she was not afraid of him.
"Drink the medicine."
He passed his hand through the cage and supported Zhuang Li up, leaning on the fence, and he was right beside him.
The medicine was extremely bitter and filled with a strange taste. Zhuang Li had just drunk a mouthful when she spat it out, and violently coughed. A heart-wrenching pain followed as she hurriedly patted her back.
In the end, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and the suffocating feeling in his chest immediately disappeared.
When Zhuang Li finished coughing, Wang Su brought the pill to her mouth once again.
"Finish it, don't leave a single drop."
She still instinctively listened to Wang Su, picked up the medicine, and gulped it down. In an instant, she felt the world spinning around her. Seeing her appearance, Wang Su actually laughed lightly.
Other than medicine, there was also a cotton blanket that was sent by the old doctor. She said that Zhuang Li would have a chance to recover after coughing out the blood that was stuck in her chest.
Wang Bi covered Zhuang Li's body with the cotton blanket, thinking about it again, he still couldn't be at ease. Her body had been tucking everything he could think of.
Even though Zhuang Li felt extremely uncomfortable drinking the medicine, she suddenly felt her body becoming lighter. In the end, it was still better than having her chest feeling a tight pain, as she tossed and turned in the dungeon with the coldness. In addition to that, when she fell into the water earlier, her clothes were not dry.
Wang Su asked her if she was still cold after tucking her in.
She buried her head in her knees. It was a very warm feeling.
"Not cold." She shook her head. It would be great if the Emperor remained like this until now.
As Zhuang Li was thinking, she felt Wang Su's hand reaching over from the fence, grabbing onto her ice-cold toes.
The warmth of his body was continuously transferred into Zhuang Li's body through that hand.
It was as if he was protecting a child. It was a treasure that could only be found after traversing countless mountains and rivers …
