As the constables drew their swords, the young man quickly ran up to them, and fell to his knees with a thud three steps away.

"Sir, help! Please save my young master."

Only then did everyone see a carriage overturned in a ditch on the side of the road in the distance, and a young man leaning against the carriage, his life or death unknown.

The young boy kowtowed loudly, his forehead was full of stones, and blood mixed with tears flowed down his forehead.

The young master has a heart disease and will die if he is not taken to the hospital immediately.

"Please, gentlemen. We are from the family of Dr. Xu. We will thank you all for your help when we get back."

The head constables looked at the servant indifferently, they had seen this kind of situation many times, and they had to deal with a lot of troubles after saving them, not to mention that there was no room in their carriage.

Cui Jingwen stared at the unconscious man in the distance, his eyes suddenly widening. "Hey, I think I know this guy. What's his last name? It seems to be...Brother Pei! Right, right, right!"

The servant was overjoyed: "You know my young master?! That's great!"

Cui Jingwen was deeply impressed by him, mainly because he had not seen many people of his age here, so he immediately ran to Pei Yu.

At this time, Pei Yu's face was as pale as paper, his eyes were closed and he fell into a coma.

Cui Jingwen sniffed the person's breath and confirmed that he was still alive, then shouted to Zhao Li and others.

Since he was an acquaintance, the detectives were willing to help, but they were at a loss as to how to save him.

Their carriages were packed so tightly that it was difficult for a patient to even sit, let alone lie down.

Captain Yan took a few glances and gave instructions in a deep voice, "Push their carriage up. Zhao Li, go get the rope from our carriage. Two people will push from below, and the rest of you will pull from above with the rope."

Fortunately, their carriage was sturdy. Although the horse was injured, the carriage was not broken. They just had to pull the carriage up and replace the horse. This was the most time-saving method.

Cui Jingwen sat on the ground, serving as a human cushion for Pei Yu and providing shade from the sun, while the rest of the people pulled the carriage out of the ditch.

Cui Zhaozhao thought about it, reluctantly pulled off a few ginseng roots, pinched a handful and stuffed them into Pei Yu's mouth.

The prompt tone in my ear changed from eighty taels to seventy-five taels.

Forget it, human life cannot be measured by money, not to mention that he is my brother’s friend.

Cui Jingwen's jaw dropped in shock: "Where did you get the ginseng?"

"I dug it in the woods last night. Hush, don't let others hear it." Cui Zhaozhao carefully packed the remaining ginseng.

"Okay, don't worry, they can't hear you."

A few meters away, Captain Yan had already started shouting slogans, and the others were listening to the slogans and working hard together.

"...Ahem, I heard it."

A voice that did not belong to the two siblings came faintly. Cui Jingwen looked down and saw that Pei Yu had opened his eyes at some point, holding his chest and gasping for breath.

Cui Jingwen was stunned. "Resurrection in one second? Is ginseng so effective?"

Pei Yu smiled weakly. Besides the earthy smell of ginseng, there was also a lingering bitter taste in his mouth. It should be because Chang Ning, the servant beside him, had fed him the heart-protecting pills prescribed by the old doctor Xu when he was unconscious.

But ginseng is still useful. For example, now I have the strength to raise my arm and extend my palm towards the little girl next to me.

"Miss, can I have a few more ginseng roots?"

"..."

He made up his mind and pulled off another five taels of ginseng whiskers.

After giving it to Pei Yu, he quickly wrapped up the ginseng and retreated three steps away with the bundle.

If you eat any more, it will be gone.

Pei Yu put the ginseng root into his mouth and ate it politely.

If he was still unconscious, she really wanted to ask her brother where he knew the rich young man. Although the servant mentioned the name of the old doctor Xu, because of the relationship between her original eldest brother and Xu Changyi, the brother and sister had seen several young masters of the Xu family, but they had never seen one who was so sick.

It's simply destroying the reputation of Dr. Xu.

Soon the carriage was pulled out of the ditch, and Captain Yan switched their horses to Pei Yu's carriage. Changning went to see the young master's condition first and was surprised to find that he had woken up.

"Master, Master, hold on, we'll go into the city now." Changning's face was covered with snot and tears.

Seeing his forehead covered in blood, Pei Yu covered his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine in a while."

He knew his body well. The carriage had suddenly overturned and he fainted due to nervousness. He was fine after taking some medicine and recovering for a while.

The carriage was quickly harnessed. Pei Yu's horse had a broken leg and could not move. There was also a cart of pine cones and an injured horse in their carriage, so someone had to stay behind to guard it.

Captain Yan asked the Cui brothers and sisters to follow Pei Yu's carriage into the city, and Zhao Li went along and then brought the horse back.

Pei Yu's carriage was a circle larger than the county government's carriage. The long wooden benches on both sides were covered with cushions, and there was also a small table in the carriage.

Cui Zhaozhao looked at him with envy.

Just like a person with two wheels in her previous life envied four wheels, she now has no wheels, but she envies the luxurious carriage. It is a bit presumptuous of her to do so.

Not to mention that ordinary people couldn’t buy a horse whenever they wanted. They had to be at least a scholar to be eligible.

Pei Yu called out to Changning, and instantly a head popped in: "What's wrong, Master?"

Pei Yu covered his lips and coughed twice: "Give me the silver."

Changning felt around in his bosom, pulled out a purse, and placed it next to his young master.

Pei Yu untied it, rummaged through it slowly, took out a silver note and handed it to Cui Zhaozhao.

"This is my thank you gift. Thank you for helping me." He added softly, "I don't have much money, so please don't think it's too little."

Cui Jingwen touched his ears which were itching for no reason. Why did these words sound so familiar?

Changning slapped his head, thank goodness the young master was thoughtful, he had even forgotten to give a thank you gift.

Cui Zhaozhao glanced at the face value of the banknote, grinned, and took the banknote.

"How embarrassing."

Twenty taels of silver!

Although she didn't need the twenty taels, it was money that had been earned through a legitimate means and could be spent openly!

Cui Zhaozhao leaned over to glance at the purse, which was bulging with what seemed to be quite a bit of money.

"How about you eat more?"

Pei Yu smiled faintly: "No more, just a few more bites and you won't need to treat your illness anymore."

"That's perfect." Cui Jingwen said casually.

Pei Yu said faintly, "Just kill him."

Cui Jingwen laughed dryly and pretended he didn't say anything.

"However, young lady, this ginseng of yours has quite good medicinal properties. Could you please sell it to me?"

Cui Zhaozhao held the bundle, his eyes rolling around.

"How much are you offering?"

Good ginseng can be sold at a high price no matter which dynasty it is from. Just after Pei Yu gave her the silver note, she remembered that she could take the ginseng to the pharmacy to ask. If the price was similar to that in the mall, she would definitely sell it to the pharmacy.

"Girl, make an offer."

Cui Zhaozhao asked tentatively, "Eighty taels?"

“Cough cough...cough cough cough...”

A head popped in from outside the carriage: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Pei Yu took a few breaths and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Ahem, how long will it take us to get into the city?"

"We're almost at the city gate. It'll take at most fifteen minutes to get to Old Doctor Xu's house."

"it is good."

Cui Zhaozhao scratched his head. Is eighty taels too high?

"Well, I won't sell it for any lower. I think ginseng of similar size would cost more than 100 taels."

When you sell something, the value you give it is given by yourself.

Pei Yu covered his mouth and said, "Old Doctor Xu has been practicing medicine for many years. Why not let him make the offer?"
