Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

Because of this, Chu Ci was troubled all the way.

The man from southern Xinjiang had no idea what method the secret guards used and he never woke up from beginning to end.

They ran all the way and finally saw the gate of the post station with lanterns on when the night was darkest. Everyone was so excited that tears filled their eyes, for they knew they could survive.

Unfortunately, the post station here only provides rest for a small number of officials, and does not accept prisoners in exile.

But Chu Ci and the others urgently needed to wash up.

At this time, the importance of building a good relationship with the escorting officers became apparent. Qian Chuanzi tried his best to persuade the police and finally paid fifty taels of silver to gain the right to use the kitchen.

Inwardly, he was laughing, but outwardly, he was smiling. "Thank you, Lord Yicheng, for your leniency."

Fifty taels of silver, even if six people share it, he, who takes the largest share, can at least get fifteen taels. With this money, the family does not have to worry about expenses for half a year.

This made him less irritable when he woke up, and his attitude towards Qian Chuanzi became much kinder. He even politely reminded him, "Our conditions here are relatively simple, and cannot be compared with other places. Sometimes when you are on night shift, you can only use wooden basins. You can use them yourself, but be sure to wash them clean after use."

"Thank you for your reminder, sir. This is just a small token of my appreciation, not a compliment." It must be said that Qian Chuanzi is indeed a very smooth person. While speaking, he quietly slipped two taels of silver over.

Yi Cheng was even happier now. "Please make yourselves at ease."

There was no bathtub or even a proper room, so everyone discussed and decided that the men would wash in the yard while the women would stay in the kitchen.

Due to the large number of people, boiling water and washing took more than an hour, even though everyone was in a hurry.

Many women and children were so tired that they could not open their eyes, so they simply found a place on the spot and curled up to sleep.

Therefore, they didn't notice the sound of a bird flapping its wings not far away. The direction the carrier pigeon flew to was exactly the route that Chu Ci and his companions had to pass through today - Pingcheng Town.

It was against the rules for the post station to take in exiles privately, so at dawn they had to set out again.

But no matter how much Chu's mother called her son, he didn't wake up. Her heart sank. She bravely touched her son's nose and found that he was still breathing. Then she touched his forehead and found it was burning hot.

Her first reaction was that if the fever continued like this, his brain would be damaged, and they couldn’t have a stupid son.

Chu Ling'er also noticed the strangeness of Chu's mother at this time: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing Chu Ling'er's voice, Li Yanran tightly grasped Chu Ling'er's arm. "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu has a fever."

"Go find Chu Ci for help. I believe that at this critical moment, she will not stand by and watch someone die."

Similar conversations were heard in different places. Even when Fan Jingliang, the youngest son of the Fan family, had a fever, his fifth uncle and fifth aunt's first reaction was to go find Chu Ci.

Chu Ci would not stand by and watch someone die, not to mention that they had to be treated with care when they were bitten by a wild wolf. Otherwise, it would not just be these people who would have a high fever.

"Boss Qian, do you know where to find a doctor nearby?" Chu Ci found Qian Chuanzi.

Qian Chuanzi understood Chu Ci's thoughts as soon as he heard them, "Madam, your heart has softened again."

Chu Ci sighed. She knew that taking on so much responsibility would be dangerous. But she couldn't bear to watch lives disappear one after another.

Then he said stubbornly: "This is not because I am soft-hearted, but to increase our chances of survival. This time it was a wild wolf, and we don't know what kind of crisis we will face next time."

Fortunately, Qian Chuanzi was also careful about his life, even though he only had scratches on his body. But he had a brother who died in the same way before. He did not hide it: "Twenty miles ahead, there is a small town. Although it is small, it has everything. The Ping An Pharmacy in the town is the only place with a doctor."

The relationship was already planned.

Chu Ci smiled faintly, returned to the carriage to find Fan Jingrui, and said softly: "Husband, please help me draft a few contracts."

Fan Jingrui did not refuse, and soon those who came for help, including Chu's mother, received a work-for-debt contract drafted by Fan Jingrui.

Mother Chu immediately exploded, "You little bitch, she is my biological daughter, but you are afraid that I will take advantage of her."

Others felt the same way, or were grateful, or had all sorts of other emotions, but wisely kept them to themselves.

In this era, ordinary people usually did not go to the pharmacy easily unless they were seriously ill. In addition, the town was small, and dozens of people poured in at a time, making the owner of the grocery store next door mistakenly think that they had encountered troublemakers.

"Go quickly, go and help take a look." The shopkeeper quickly instructed his son beside him.

The boy didn't dare to delay. As soon as he ran over, he heard: "Doctor, doctor, please help me see if this child has a brain burn."

So are you just here to treat the child? The boy was puzzled, but he did not ignore the faint smell of blood wafting from Chu Ci and his group. "Just to be safe, let's take another look."

Little did he know that this one look almost cost him his life.

At the same time, the old doctor slowly raised his head and looked around. After confirming that the information was correct, a trace of joy flashed across his face. Then he gestured to the servant next to him. Then he raised his hand slowly and said, "Let me take a look."

The old doctor thought he had disguised himself well, but everyone here was smart. They immediately noticed the abnormality of the two people. He quickly winked at the people around him, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Chu Ci quietly moved to Fan Jingrui's side and signaled him with his eyes: "Husband, everyone's behavior seems a little abnormal."

Fan Jingrui also responded with his eyes: "It is indeed inappropriate, please don't make it public."

Only Li Yanran was crying there: "Doctor, what's the situation? Is there any hope? Also, can you please prescribe some cold medicine? Going out will inevitably cause a cold. My daughter has been weak since she was young."

Her son was still in a coma, but she was able to change the topic to her safe and sound daughter in two sentences. Even though the old master claimed to be knowledgeable, she had never seen such a person.

He made no effort to conceal his disgust, "One of you please move him away and stop obstructing my medical treatment."

Chu Xiaxiong secretly blamed his wife for being useless, but he had to pull her away with his eldest son. Now everyone's expression became even more tense.

The old doctor began to give Chu Junjie acupuncture calmly. After that, he examined everyone in turn according to the severity of their illnesses, as if they had made a mistake before.

Just when Chu Ci relaxed her guard and planned to let the old doctor feel her pulse, suddenly, a group of men holding sticks and with ferocious faces rushed in and asked, "Where is the escaped slave?"
