Chapter 255 If You Don’t Do Practical Things, Get Out

However, thinking of this, Zhou Jinran's thoughts couldn't help but diverge. It seemed that since the last time she and the sign-in system sent treasures to the emperor, she discovered that their emperor was particularly influenced by the previous emperor.

As for the late emperor, it seemed that he had been influenced by another person. Although Zhou Jinran didn't know where that person came from, one thing was certain, that is, the other person's thoughts must be very advanced.

Otherwise, things like attaching importance to people's livelihood, not despising business, strictly evaluating officials, and letting them go home if they fail would probably not have happened in this dynasty.

After all, in most dynasties, officials were required to work until old age. Who cared whether you did practical work or not? Being a veteran of two or even three dynasties was not a problem.

It’s not like now, if you don’t do your job, or if you are corrupt or accept bribes, once you are discovered, you will be kicked out just like the Zhou family did.

However, for people like Zhou Jinran, it is a blessing to have such an emperor.

At this moment, she looked at Mrs. Shen's expression. It was obvious that Mrs. Shen was a kind-hearted person, but her kindness would not be given to anyone who would endanger their dynasty.

After all, after she said those words, the rest of her words were criticisms of them.

In Madam Shen's opinion, it was those people's fault. If their emperor was like the emperors of the Southern Xia Dynasty or other dynasties, then for what they had done before, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire family should be executed.

But their emperor not only did not do so, but instead exiled them and gave them land to support themselves. In other dynasties, they would only be able to do hard labor, and would not be as free as they were in Hujiao Village. Moreover, with the land, the more they worked, the more they would earn, and they would not have to worry about food. Even so, they were still not satisfied. They were really greedy and could not swallow an elephant.

"Auntie Wen, they brought this upon themselves. Don't get angry. You just had acupuncture today."

"Yeah, mom, those people are not worth our anger. They did those things before, and it's not surprising that they do it now."

Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Muxi helplessly. What was he talking about? How could the past be compared to now?

What they are doing now is tantamount to treason.

But before Mrs. Shen could say anything, Zhou Jinran spoke first.

"Aunt Wen, today I smelled a familiar scent on someone. That scent is exactly the same as the pill you told me about before. At that time, you said that only the owner of the Divine Medicine Valley could make that pill. But now, is there anyone else out there who can make it?"

After hearing Zhou Jinran's words, Mrs. Shen was stunned at first, and then immediately said.

"Impossible. This recipe is only known to the people in the Divine Medicine Valley. Even if people outside know it, they can't gather all the herbs because the other most important herbs are only available in the Divine Medicine Valley."

After hearing this, it was Zhou Jinran's turn to be stunned. Mrs. Shen had not said this before. But she changed her mind and realized that when Mrs. Shen mentioned this matter, she did not say that she wanted to do research. It was only when she found that there were not enough medicinal materials during the research that she was delayed by other things and did not ask Mrs. Shen about this matter.

Obviously, Mrs. Shen is also very smart. After listening to what Zhou Jinran said, she now knows what she didn't pay attention to before.

"Ran Ran, so you have already figured it out?"

Madam Shen and Shen Muxi were shocked. Although Tan Xiaoling didn't know what the medicine was, when she saw Madam Shen and the others like that, she looked at Zhou Jinran with pride.

"Just like what you said, Aunt Wen, since the medicinal materials are only available in the Divine Medicine Valley, I haven't fully researched it. It's just that the taste is somewhat similar to what the person took today."

"It's not bad that they look similar. Has the person you mentioned been kidnapped now?"

Before Zhou Jinran could answer, Shen Muxi spoke first.

"Mom, not only did we tie him up, but we also gave him seven kinds of poison?"

Although Mrs. Shen had not spent a long time with Zhou Jinran, she still knew her a little. If most people offended her, she would at most poison them with one kind of poison, so why would she poison them with seven kinds of poison?

Thinking of the medicine that the person Zhou Jinran mentioned just now took, Mrs. Shen's face suddenly became solemn.

"Let's go to the square and take a look. Maybe those who went to the mountains have returned now."

Although Tan Xiaoling had nothing to do over there, her curiosity was aroused by seeing Mrs. Shen's uneasy expression and her own daughter's calm and confident look.

In fact, if she didn't know that her girl would not tell her about the matter in advance, she would probably pull Zhou Jinran aside and ask him to answer her questions.

Shen Muxi is now more curious than Tan Xiaoling.

When they were at the beach, Zhou Jinran said that she would tell her mother what happened when she came back and saw her.

Now she saw her mother, but they had only exchanged a few words when they had to go to the square again. Now her heart felt like there were ants crawling in it, itching but she couldn't scratch it.

At this moment, she was full of resentment, and Zhou Jinran could tell it even without paying attention.

However, she couldn't say anything before Mrs. Shen confirmed it. After all, if her guess was wrong, it would be a very disappointing thing to say it out loud.

When they arrived at the square, General Shen and his men had indeed returned.

But after arriving, Zhou Jinran looked at the tied-up person and felt something strange no matter how he looked at him.

Because those people had strange looks in their eyes. Although some of them controlled their facial expressions, they couldn't hide the joy in their eyes. There were quite a few such people.

There are people like Zhang Shujun who have lost all hope in life, but they only account for a small minority.

Others are like Pang Yanyu, who, when looking at Zhou Jinran and others, wished they could immediately break free from the ropes and pick up their knives to chop them.

[Host, you would never have thought that many people here actually want to come to your dynasty to eat and wait for death.]

When Zhou Jinran heard the sign-in system transmitting a message to her consciousness, she was a little surprised but she did not show it and instead asked.

"Xiaojiu, how did you know about this?"

[Hehe, host, didn’t you just discover it? Those who are now filled with joy are, but these are just your brother’s guesses. General Shen and the others haven’t interrogated them yet, so I wonder if it’s true?]

"Look at them like that. If it's not true, then they want to die immediately. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a look in their eyes."

Zhou Jinran thought so and glanced at her brother and others, and then she saw that there was someone behind him who was doubting his life.

She wanted to laugh but she held it back. Otherwise, she guaranteed that if she laughed at this moment, the whole place would be filled with laughter.

After all, no matter how long someone has lived, they have never seen this scene. Who knew that the people of the Southern Xia Dynasty were so funny? When I got to know them before, they were not like this.
