Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder
Chapter 22 She No Longer Wants to Be the Heroine (22)
Yu Ziyin's eyes trembled. She regretted provoking this man just now, but now she couldn't escape. She could only do what he said. In the end, she was the first to be defeated. She cried softly in Shao Lian's ear, "Shao Lang, Shao Lang..."
Shao Lian lowered his head and kissed her cheek in a soothing gesture. After he released her hand contentedly, the smile on his face was tinged with lust, and there seemed to be a hint of excitement in the corners of his eyes. His voice was hoarse, "I didn't even do anything affectionate with you, why are you so wronged?"
Yu Zinyin turned her head away and didn't look at him.
Shao Lian kissed her red and hot earlobe and said, "Let's go to a place to rest later. Shao Lang will take you to clean up."
……
Qingcheng had previously suffered heavy losses due to drought, with many children and women dying of hunger on the roadside. If it had not been for several waves of disaster relief funds from the court, the situation would have been even worse. Although Qingcheng is not as embarrassed as before, there are more serious problems. As the prefect Huo Qi said, hundreds of people gathered together for unknown reasons and demanded more money, and even went so far as to oppose the court and kill a prefect.
This incident was like a fuse, and the local county magistrate was detained in his own mansion. But what was strange was that there was no other chaos in the local area. The people continued to live their normal lives, the merchants continued to trade normally, and even the local port had normal transactions, and its economic development was gradually recovering.
Therefore, nothing will happen if Shao Lian and his team disguise themselves as a merchant caravan and enter Qingcheng, and it will not arouse suspicion.
"Well, that's strange. Since they can live a normal life, why do they want to ask the court for more money?" After listening to Shao Lian's explanation of the situation in Qingcheng, Yu Zinyin was puzzled.
Shao Lian, who was leaning against the wall of the car, folded the letter and said, "This is what we need to find out."
The local county magistrate was placed under house arrest in disguise, and a prefect died. If this incident had not happened in the place where the prince was dealing with drought, the emperor would have sent troops to attack directly, not wanting this incident to be brought up and slap the prince in the face. Now, for the sake of his eldest son and the face of the royal family, the emperor wants to investigate secretly and solve the problem secretly, preferably to make a big thing small.
Shang Liang, who was riding a horse beside the carriage outside, lowered his voice and said, "Master, there are people on the top of the mountain watching this side."
Shao Lian's eyes were slightly cold, but he did not lift the curtain. He just said: "If they make any moves, try to catch them alive."
"Yes."
"Have Wei Zhe investigate where these people came from. Tell that reckless man not to act rashly. If he arrests someone without my permission, it won't be as simple as a military stick."
"Yes."
……
The caravan stopped at an inn in Qingcheng, but the feeling of being watched on the road still did not disappear. However, Shang Liang and others pretended not to notice and discussed with the inn owner to book the entire inn.
Guests came in, and there seemed to be quite a few of them. The innkeeper had a smile on his face and asked the waiter to carry the guests' luggage. When he learned from Shang Liang that his master had come to Qingcheng to develop business, the innkeeper was even more happy to promote the best business in the local area. Then his eyes were attracted by a man and a woman who got off the carriage.
The man was handsome and although he was wearing the simplest green brocade robe, he could not hide his outstanding temperament. The woman beside him was even more breathtaking. She had fair skin and beautiful looks, and a black fox fur coat around her neck. It was obvious that she was the daughter of a wealthy family.
"This must be the boss. I'm afraid I'll bother you these few days." While the innkeeper was lost in thought, Shao Lian had already brought Yu Zinyin to him.
The innkeeper waved his hands quickly and said, "Oh, it would be great if you two distinguished guests don't mind that my place is so small."
Yu Ziyin asked curiously, "Boss, why are the streets around here so busy?"
There was a traffic jam when their convoy entered the city, and sometimes it would stay in the same place for a long time. This reminded Yu Zinyin of the traffic jams that occur from time to time on modern highways.
Shao Lian took out an ingot from his sleeve and placed it in the innkeeper's hand. "My wife likes the hustle and bustle, but it seems that this place doesn't look like a lantern festival. I'm worried that she might get into trouble outside. Please let me know."
The innkeeper didn't even need to weigh it; the weight in his hand nearly made him smile. He quickly said, "Master and Madam, you've come on the right day! Although today isn't the Lantern Festival, tomorrow is the day our Qingcheng Miracle Doctor opens! Those people outside are here just for the opening."
"Miracle doctor?"
The innkeeper's face was full of pride. "Yes! I guarantee that eight out of ten of the convoys outside are here for our Miraculous Doctor of Qingcheng! They are mostly powerful families from all over the country. If their ancestors or descendants have some incurable disease, our Miraculous Doctor can cure you! But the Miraculous Doctor doesn't open the clinic every day. She will open the clinic on the 20th of every month for treatment. As for the reward the Miraculous Doctor asks for, it depends on her mood."
"What this means is that she may not be collecting cash anymore?" Yu Ziyin asked.
"Yes, perhaps it's silver, jewelry, or cloth, or even a copper coin in the hands of an old man, or a sweet potato in the hands of a child. Big or small, expensive or cheap, it's all a token of wanting to see the miracle doctor. Oh, by the way, there's a rule at the clinic. You have to get a badge the day before. Without one, you can't enter. The number of badges is limited, so so many people have arrived today."
Shao Lian: "When did this miracle doctor come to Qingcheng?"
This put the innkeeper in a difficult position. "Oh, I don't know about this. Maybe it was before the drought?"
"I see. Thank you, shopkeeper."
"Little things, little things."
Shao Lian was about to leave when he found that Yu Zinyin was in a trance. He called out to her and Yu Zinyin came to her senses and followed him upstairs.
Yu Zinyin looked down from the upstairs attic window and saw that passersby and convoys had blocked the wide main road. Judging from their attire, they certainly didn't look like locals. They all came to see the miracle doctor. If the miracle doctor was not only open for one day, I'm afraid all the inns around would be full.
In the book "Be a Concubine, Not a Queen", Liu Ziyu was a favored concubine. Until her death, she was only the emperor's favored imperial concubine and never got to sit on the throne of empress. In fact, it was not because she did not want the throne of empress, nor because her family was not supportive, but because when Emperor Shao Lian was the crown prince, he met a woman named Yan Yue, who was the miracle doctor mentioned by Qingcheng.
Liu Ziyu didn't know that Shao Lian and Yan Yue knew each other. He only knew that Shao Lian was accidentally injured and was saved by a folk doctor. The two fell in love at first sight and he finally married her.
Because this book is told from Liu Ziyu's perspective, Liu Ziyu doesn't know Yan Yue's origins and simply thinks that Yan Yue was just lucky to have saved the prince once, otherwise how could she have had the chance to become the prince's consort from a common peasant girl?
Yu Ziyin lowered her eyes and smacked her lips. Could it be that this Qingcheng was the first time Yan Yue and Shao Lian met?
404: [Host, we are not allowed to interfere with the development of Yan Yue and Shao Lian. You only need to be a background figure.]
Yu Ziyin nodded frantically. This was not a matter she could interfere with.
No matter how you look at it, Yan Yue is Shao Lian's white moonlight. She is a female doctor with superb medical skills. Even though she has no status, Shao Lian still married her as the Crown Princess despite the pressure from the royal family. Isn't this love?
