Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Sun Wanru fell off the carriage yesterday. It was raining and wet, and she was shivering when she got up early.

Although Sun Yaozu was a chubby man with a healthy body, he was still young. When he got off the carriage early in the morning, he was struck by the cold air outside and coughed a few times.

Sun Zhengzhi and Sun Wanru suddenly felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

The Sun family gathered together to discuss and decided to buy some typhoid medicine from the officials. Even if Sun Wanru didn't take it, Sun Yaozu, as the only son of the third generation of the Sun family, couldn't afford to lose his health.

"Want to buy medicine?"

"Changsheng" rode on a tall horse, looking down at Sun Wanru who was trying to please him carefully:

"Sure, sure. Do you have any money?"

"Yes, yes," Sun Wanru nodded repeatedly.

This matter concerns her precious son. She knows very well that Sun Yaozu is the guarantee of her status in the Sun family, and Sun Wanru dare not save money on this matter.

No matter what the cost, she was determined to buy Sun Yaozu's typhoid medicine.

What's more, there were nearly a thousand taels of silver notes hidden in the wooden hairpin on her head, in the lining of her shoe soles, and in the menstrual belt in her bag.

Sun Wanru was confident that she could buy the medicine.

"Okay,"

Changsheng nodded with a sly smile, then reached out and pulled out a small packet of typhoid medicine from his pocket.

"This is a typhoid fever medicine specially formulated by the famous Doctor Ye in the capital. I don't have much left. This one set of medicine is only 200 taels of silver. How many sets do you want?"

"What, 200 taels?!"

Sun Wanru couldn't help but scream, "Why is it so expensive?"

It was just the most common typhoid fever. Even if the best doctor in the capital city prescribed a medicine, it would only cost one or two taels of silver at most.

This Changsheng actually wanted to charge her 200 taels, isn't this blatant robbery?

Chang Sheng (Qu Xiaoxiao): You’re right, it’s a blatant robbery.

He scratched his ears impatiently and said impatiently: "If you think it's too expensive, forget it. I don't want to sell it to you."

As he said this, he put away the medicine bag.

"On this road of exile, a dose of medicine can mean a life. Is 200 taels too much for you?"

"Which is more important, money or life? Think carefully!"

Seeing Sun Wanru still looking hesitant, Chang Sheng impatiently waved his whip: "Get out, get out, get out! You dare to block my way without money? Do you think my whip is vegetarian?"

Sun Wanru was unable to dodge and was immediately whipped twice.

Yesterday's injuries, combined with the new ones, suddenly caused a searing pain that was unbearable. However, these two lashes also made her mind much clearer.

Yes, we are now on the road of exile, but it is not like when we were in the capital. Human life is worthless.

No matter what, she couldn't gamble with Sun Yaozu's life.

Sun Wanru gritted her teeth and said, "Please forgive me, sir. I didn't think clearly. 200 taels is 200 taels. I will buy a pair from you first as an emergency."

Chang Sheng had a blank expression on his face and held out his hand: "Give me the silver!"

Sun Wanru secretly hated him, but she had no other choice but to lift her hand to remove the wooden hairpin from her head, then turned around and unscrewed the center of the hairpin.

There was an empty black hole in the middle of the hairpin.

However, Sun Wanru's expression changed drastically.

She reached in and rummaged through it, then turned the hairpin upside down and banged it repeatedly. However, the expected banknotes did not fall out.

"Hurry up, hurry up,"

Chang Sheng's voice urged him rudely from behind: "Don't play any tricks. A man wants money, not sex. I won't fall for your tricks."

Sun Wanru: “…”

Damn the police officer.

He had clearly shown her those lustful eyes before, but now, for just 200 taels of silver, he acted like he had no interest in women.

I have no choice but to ask for help from others.

I had to take off my shoes and dig with my hands.

Chang Sheng (Qu Xiaoxiao): “…”

Suddenly I remembered that I had used my mind to take away those banknotes yesterday. I couldn't remember where I had thrown them into space.

No, no, I have to find a reason to spend these banknotes.

Otherwise, the smell would stink up her space.

Sun Wanru searched the soles of both shoes over and over again, but found nothing. She screamed, sat down on the ground and began to cry:

"Where's my banknote? Where's my banknote?"

"Damn it! Who stole my banknotes? A full one thousand taels! They took them all away!"

The noise was too loud, and the movement here had already attracted everyone's attention.

When they heard that someone had lost a banknote, everyone subconsciously reached for the place where they had hidden the banknotes.

Everyone was acting sneakily, and the scene was a little funny for a moment.

Yet no one could laugh.

Soon, wailing sounds were heard from the exile group. Some people simply sat down on the ground and refused to move.

"Sir, sir, please be careful. My banknotes are missing too. There are 300 taels in total~"

"Sir, officer, we can't go any further. My banknotes are missing. There must be a thief in the team. Sir, we must investigate thoroughly!"

"Yes, sir, our banknotes are also lost..."

Several officers who had lost their silver also came running over and strongly demanded that Changsheng investigate the case.

Changsheng readily followed the advice and, with a serious face, signaled the team to stop and began to send people to investigate who had lost the banknotes or silver.

It doesn't matter if we don't check. The total amount of silver notes reported lost is more than 30,000 taels.

Even the person who lost the silver was surprised by the amount. Could it be that their exile group was actually filled with wealthy people?

The Sun family lost the most, reporting a total of more than 8000 taels, of which Sun Jiaojiao reported taels.

The next was the Situ family, who lost 13,000 taels.

The rest belonged to the Hu family and the officials.

Chang Sheng's face turned pale as he lashed the ground with his whip. "Nonsense! Are you trying to take advantage of me because I don't know anything?"

"Have you all forgotten who you are?"

He pointed at Sun Zhengzhi with his whip and said, "You, the former Minister of Revenue, held a high position of power. Because of massive embezzlement, your property was confiscated and you were exiled. How could you have brought over ten thousand taels of silver with you?"

"Could it be that the people who confiscated your property were in cahoots with you, and that there are still some who have slipped through the net after Your Majesty's verdict on this case?"

He pointed his whip at Situ Lang again:

"And the prince is also funny."

"If you were still in the palace right now, even if I plucked a hair from your leg and blew on it, I, Chang Sheng, would be worth eighteen thousand taels of silver."

"But now, the Emperor has personally rebuked you for being 'unfilial and unkind, unfit to be a royal child,' and has revoked your royal status. You are only allowed to take the most basic belongings with you to Agutta to reflect on yourself."

"How did you come across such a huge sum of ten thousand taels of silver? Could it be that His Majesty personally gave it to you out of the law?"

"And your Hu family..."

Changsheng pointed with his whip and belittled the families who reported huge sums of money. In short, he just couldn't believe that these people would lose so much money.

They must be taking the opportunity to cause trouble and play a trick on him.
