"Thank you, Yi'an, thank you for understanding me."

Lin Ting returned all the evidence to Wan Weiran and helped him stand up from the ground.

"Wan Weiran, put all these things back. This matter concerns the fate of the country and the changes in the entire court.

You are not alone, you have us and General Han. Once you have thoroughly investigated the matter, we can all work together to come up with a plan."

"Okay, I'll go check it out first. I will definitely give justice to those who died innocently back then."

In order to avoid alerting the enemy these days, Lin Ting went back.

This was the first time in so many years that Wan Weiran found evidence that Wan Yijun was forced to commit suicide, and he couldn't wait any longer.

After comforting Han Yian, he changed his clothes, rode a fast horse, and headed out of the city.

Eighty miles out of the city on horseback, there is a village called Huxi. This is the address Wan Weiran saw on the list. His father regularly sends money here every year to a woman named Aunt Feng.

And if Wan Weiran guessed correctly, this Aunt Feng was the Nanny Feng who served the virtuous concubine.

Wan Weiran did not bring any servants with him, but he was accompanied by secret guards arranged by Han Yian to protect his personal safety.

Huxi Village is a small village in a remote location. Generally, people here only buy things in the small town and rarely go to the capital.

Wan Weiran changed into a coarse linen shirt and carried a basket on his back with a small hoe in it.

He rode his horse quickly all the way, and whenever he saw some herbs, he would stop to dig a few and put them in his backpack to hide from others.

After crossing several hills along the way, it would be really difficult to find this village if Wan Weiran didn't have a clear goal.

When we arrived at Huxi Village, it was very small, with only a dozen households. The houses were made of wood, and the villagers would fill the gaps with mud.

The distance between houses is also very far. There are some fertile fields at the foot of the mountain in the village. Everyone depends on the fields for their livelihood. Wherever the fields are, that is where their homes will be.

Wan Weiran got off the horse. There were already many herbs in his backpack. It was summer now, and cicadas were chirping. There were several old ladies sitting under the big trees in the village, enjoying the cool air.

Suddenly, a handsome man carrying a basket of herbs came to Huxi Village. Without waiting for the ladies to speak, Wan Weiran stepped forward and asked.

"Hello, ladies, where can I get some water?"

An old lady pointed with a palm-leaf fan at the farthest mountain stream behind him. There was a small courtyard there, and the house inside was similar to the other houses in the village.

"There is a well over there, but it's too far to walk to. Wait here, my dear. I'll go to my house and get you some water."

The villagers were very simple and honest. Wan Weiran smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Auntie."

There were three elderly people sitting under the big tree. Wan Weiran put down his backpack and sat on a big rock with them.

"Where is this young man from? How did he end up in our little Huxi Village?"

You won't see a single outsider here all year round, and it's rare to see a young man as fair-skinned as Wan Weiran.

"I'm a doctor. I came up the mountain to collect herbs. I was riding my horse and ended up here. I saw a sign at the entrance: 'This is Huxi Village.'"

"Yes, this place is called Huxi Village. You are so young, but you are actually a doctor? Can you treat illnesses? Can you take a look at us?"

When they heard that Wan Weiran was a doctor, the ladies were so happy that they didn't even ask where he was from.

The lady who had just gone to get water for Wan Weiran came back at this time and handed a bowl of water to Wan Weiran.

After Wan Weiran took it, he took a big sip and then said to the ladies.

"Thank you. To thank you for giving me water, I'll check your pulses for free."

It was rare to have a free doctor, and the faces of the ladies were all smiling. The lady who brought water to Wan Weiran was named Wu. She was the youngest among them, only fifty years old.

"Young Master, please look at me first."

"it is good!"

Wan Weiran asked her to put her hand on a wooden table, took her pulse, and then asked her to stick out her tongue.

"Auntie, do you have back pain and insomnia?"

Aunt Wu has all these, but the fact that Wan Weiran took her pulse shows that her medical skills are still good.

"Yes, my dear, I always have back pain and panic attacks. I can't fall asleep in the middle of the night, but I always want to sleep during the day. What's going on?"

Wan Weiran withdrew his hand and replied, "Auntie, your blood circulation is slow and your energy is insufficient. You probably haven't worked in the fields for a long time, right?"

Although this is a rural area, it is rare to find women who do not work in the fields.

"Young Master, you can see this, you are really a miracle doctor. I am good at embroidery. I have been sitting at home embroidering and selling it.

All the household chores are done by my old man and son, so what should I do if I’m short of energy and blood?”

They were all from the small village, and Wan Weiran knew that they didn't have much money, so he didn't prescribe any medicine for them.

"Auntie, look at this astragalus in my basket. It's a herb that replenishes Qi. I see it grows in the mountains. You can dig it up and cook it with soy milk.

If you want to replenish your blood quickly, you can only go to the pharmacy and buy some tonics. Of course, you can also walk around more to speed up your blood circulation and eat more food, especially meat."

Aunt Wu smiled awkwardly. How could they have so much money to buy medicine and meat?

"Okay, I'll move more then."

After taking her pulse, Wan Weiran asked the woman in front of him, "What's your last name? I'll go to the mountains to collect herbs later. If I can find any that can replenish blood, I'll bring them down for you."

Aunt Wu quickly thanked him: "Really, young man? Thank you first. My last name is Wu, you can just call me Aunt Wu."

The surname is Wu, not Feng.

Wan Weiran took the pulse of the next woman and asked, "What's this woman's last name?"

"My last name is Wu too. Most people in our village have the last name Wu. Only one woman in the mountain stream over there has the last name Feng."

Wan Weiran immediately looked where the old lady pointed. There was only a small courtyard there, and the person inside was surnamed Feng.

Wan Weiran took the pulse of the villagers, and his family taught them some exercises to help them avoid illness.

Finally, after taking the pulse of everyone under the big tree, Wan Weiran asked them about their situation.

"All the ladies have the surname Wu. There's a new person with a different surname in the village. They shouldn't be from this village, right?"

Seeing that Wan Weiran was a doctor and such a nice person, she told him everything.

"Young Master, you may not know that someone in the village sold a field some time ago, and it was that Aunt Feng who bought it.

I heard that her husband's house caught fire and the whole family was burned to ashes. Her husband and children died in the fire.

Even she herself was disfigured by the fire. Only half of her skin was intact. Her feet were also injured and she walked with a limp. She was such a pitiful person.

Another woman also spoke up, "That's right. She now only lives on those two acres of land. People in our village will help her as much as they can."
