The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Chiyang County

In the back hall of the government office, the county magistrate Wang Qingzhou quietly looked at the young man in front of him.

He had heard of Jiang Ci's name for a long time. He was not only the youngest scholar in Chiyang County, but also the chief criminal in Nanwei County in the 12th year of Hongwu.

He is handsome and talented. As long as this kid doesn't make any mistakes in the future, it is inevitable that he will become a Jinshi.

As the saying goes, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Wang Zhixian has been immersed in officialdom for many years. He understands this truth well. After learning Jiang Ci's identity, his attitude towards Jiang Ci was much more polite.

"Jiang Xiucai, are you here for those two traffickers?"

Jiang Ci cupped his hands and bowed, his posture neither humble nor arrogant.

"Reporting to your lord, human trafficking has occurred frequently in Chiyang County over the past few years. The people below have already complained. I heard that your term of office is about to expire. Now is the time when political achievements are needed. Why don't you use this to give yourself a good name?"

Jiang Ci never disdains the idea of ​​being a gentleman. He knows very well that he is a person who must take revenge. Since those two black-toothed people dare to set their sights on him, they must die!

Wang Zhixian pondered for a moment: "What do you want me to do?"

"Our government has always convicted and punished human traffickers severely, and some of them have been punished in the past. You can follow the example of your ancestors and allow the people to watch on the day of execution. This will not only serve as a warning to the monkeys, but also allow the people to see that the adults are doing their best to eliminate harm for the people. Determination, and it will definitely be the icing on the cake for your achievements during your term of office.”

Wang Zhixian knew that Jiang Ci wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but he was indeed moved.

Human trafficking has indeed become rampant in the Chiyang generation in recent years. These people move around the country and will evacuate immediately once they commit a crime. By the time the people come to report the crime, the traffickers have long disappeared.

Now that there are ready-made human traffickers in hand, as long as they are convicted of a few crimes and executed in public as a warning, it will not only show their courage to eliminate harm for the people, but also leave a good reputation among the people, and their political achievements can also be recorded. The most important thing is that the pen can sell Jiang Ci a favor.

"Don't worry, I will handle this matter impartially."

Jiang Ci bowed his hands and said, "Your Excellency, you are wise."

Brother and sister Yan Shu, Yan Wu, and Yan Huai came to a medical clinic.

The black plaque reads "Jishitang" with three big Chinese characters: "Jishitang".

After the three people entered the door, the young man in front of the counter looked towards them.

"Are you seeing a doctor or taking medicine?"

"Grab the medicine."

The other party asked, "Do you have a recipe?"

Yan Shu took out a prescription he had prepared in advance, with several herbs and the required dosage written on it.

The little brother took a look and said, "Sit down and rest for a while. I'll help you get some medicine."

"Brother Lao is here."

The three of them sat down and waited for a while. The younger brother prepared all the medicinal ingredients. After Yan Shu personally looked at them, he asked the younger brother to wrap them up.

"Girl, your medicine is worth seven coins in total."

According to the current market value, one coin of silver is equal to 100 coins, and seven coins of silver is equal to 700 coins.

Yan Shu took out one tael of silver, and the younger brother collected the money and returned three hundred coins in change.

"Brother, do you collect medicinal materials here?"

"Of course I collected it. Does the girl know the medicinal materials?"

Yan Shu nodded: "I understand a little bit."

With a plan in mind, Yan Shu took the medicine and left with Yan Wu and Yan Huai.

After finally coming to the town, I naturally wanted to take a look around.

When Yan Shu walked outside a grain store, he stopped and looked inside.

"Little sister, we still have food at home, so we don't need to buy it for the time being. I heard that the price of food has increased dramatically recently. Before, brown rice only cost five cents per catty, but now it has risen to seven cents. We'd better wait. Look."

"Why did it suddenly rise so much?"

Yan Huai said, "There is very little rain this year. The autumn harvest is about to begin in two months, but most of the farmers in the fields have been killed by the drought. Everyone predicts that the price of food will skyrocket in the second half of the year, and those grain merchants have begun to stock up in large quantities." If we don’t have enough food, the price of food will naturally rise with the tide.”

Yan Shu recalled the plot in the book. Starting from this year, the Sui Dynasty would suffer from widespread famine for three consecutive years due to drought and lack of rain. At the same time, the King of Qi collaborated with the enemy to treason and raised troops to rebel, which made the Sui Dynasty, which was already suffering from internal and external troubles, even worse.

Starving people everywhere and devastated lives would be a hell on earth.

It seems that we have to make preparations for the escape.

Jiang Ci solved two human traffickers, and Wang Zhixian discussed some academic matters with Jiang Ci. Seeing that Jiang Ci spoke calmly and insightfully, he admired him even more.

Wang Zhixian invited him to have lunch with him, but Jiang Ci refused and left the county government office, heading towards the street on the east side of the county government office.

He walked into a house and came out a moment later leading a horse.

He quickly got on his horse and headed out of the city.

It only took about two-quarters of an hour to get from Chiyang County to Furong Town. After returning to Furong Town, he went straight to a medical clinic.

In the backyard of the medical center, an old man with a white beard was diagnosing Jiang Ci's pulse, and his cloudy eyes suddenly lit up.

He stared at Jiang Ci inquiringly for a while.

"Have you taken any supplements recently?"

Jiang Ci shook his head: "No."

The old man urged: "It's about your body, so tell the truth."

Jiang Ci pondered for a moment and said truthfully: "It is true that I have never taken tonics. I was forced to take beauty potions a few days ago, but what's wrong with my body?"

"Cough cough..."

The old man coughed several times.

"You can't act recklessly with your fragile little body. It's not suitable for sexual intercourse yet. But then again, which girl is so fierce that she would give you such a drug?"

Jiang Ci: ...

Looking back on what happened that day, it’s hard to talk about it.

"All you have to do is tell me what's wrong with my body."

Doctor Lin stroked his goatee: "There is no problem, but it is better than when I checked your pulse last time. That's why I asked you if you have taken any high-quality tonics."

Jiang Ci's eyes were dark and unpredictable.

Considering his body and bones, not only was he fine after taking the love potion, but he actually got better?

Yan Shu's flickering expression that day and her sudden superb medical skills could not help but come to mind, and I had some vague guesses.

"The poison in your body cannot be delayed any longer. I am not good at medicine, so I can only help you suppress it temporarily. Maybe the person who gives you medicine can help your condition."

Seeing Jiang Ci's silence, Doctor Lin sighed inwardly.

As a former envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital, he devoted himself to research for more than ten years, but in the end found nothing.

"Don't be discouraged. There are still five years left before the deadline. If we can find Doctor Kong during this period, there may be hope."

Jiang Ci looked cold, and he never had any hope for unknown things.

"The people sent by the capital have withdrawn. Although Jiang Huan exchanged his life for you to temporarily relieve the suspicion over there, you must not act lightly in the future."

A trace of anger flashed across Jiang Ci's deep eyes.

"I know."

Five years is enough time to drag those people to hell!
