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

Not long after Yan Shu and Jiang Ci left, the county magistrate Li Shoujing, the principal Bo Peidu and others came to Yanshan Village together.

The Marquis handed the matter over to Li Shoujing and asked him to resolve it within three days. It was already the second day after the villagers were poisoned, and there was still no clue. Li Shoujing was so anxious that he didn't sleep all night last night. Liang hurried over with people.

Accompanying them were Doctor Qin, Doctor Heng and several well-known doctors from Gucheng who were all present.

The village chief and several middle-aged men greeted him at the entrance of the village early.

"The common people have met the magistrate and all of you."

Li Shojing, dressed in official uniform, slowly stepped down from the carriage.

"How are the villagers doing today?"

The village chief showed a solemn look on his face: "Two more villagers died this morning, and the condition of other villagers has become much worse than yesterday. If this continues, I am afraid that all of us in Yanshan Village will not be able to survive the next few days."

Li Shojing's heart suddenly sank. The Marquis had always loved the people as his own children. If an entire village of more than 400 people died due to poisoning, the Marquis would definitely be blamed for the incident.

"Doctor Qin, Dr. Heng, do you two have any advice?"

Dr. Heng said: "The two of us discussed it carefully after we returned yesterday, and today we came up with an antidote. I'm not sure yet whether it will be useful, so I can only give it a try now."

Li Shojing touched his chin and thought to himself, these two doctors were brought from Xinyang Mansion by the Marquis himself, and their medical skills were naturally much better than those of their doctors in Gucheng.

The prescription they came up with might come in handy. At this moment, Li Shojing suddenly thought of someone.

Mrs. Jiang can even cure the plague and tuberculosis. It's time to invite her over today to take a look. He has been sent here and there by the Marquis for the past two days. He was so busy as a headless fly that he ignored this problem for a while.

As soon as this thought crossed Li Shojing's mind, the village chief said, "Sir, the common people have a recipe for treating this poison that I want to give you. This recipe was left by a young lady, and she seems to know you."

Li Shoujing frowned slightly and looked at the village chief with confusion on his face.

"Young lady?"

The village chief said to the middle-aged man beside him: "Zhao Er, come and tell me the situation at that time."

Zhao Er took a step forward: "Sir, a young couple came to stay at Cao Min's house yesterday. The young lady was very skilled in medicine. She could tell at just one glance that Cao Min was poisoned. She gave Cao Min two pills. Cao Min and his wife After taking that little pill, the symptoms of poisoning disappeared in less than an hour. When the lady left today, she left a prescription for the poor people, saying it could detoxify the poison. By the way, she also left two pills for you. Pack medicine.”

"Leave medicine for me?" Li Shojing was even more curious.

Zhao Er handed the two packets of medicine and detoxification prescriptions to Li Shojing.

After Li Shojing reached out to take it, he opened the medicine bag and took a look, and his pupils suddenly dilated.

"The little lady's surname is Yan?"

"The little lady didn't leave her name, but she said that the adults would understand after seeing these two packets of medicine."

"It is indeed Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang. I originally planned to invite them here today, but I didn't expect them to come on their own."

After getting excited, Li Shojing became even more puzzled. How could Mrs. Jiang, a miser who loved money as much as her life, be willing to give him two months' worth of medicine for free?

That's a full six thousand taels of silver, does she really not want it?

Is it for the sake of the third sister?

In any case, he owed this favor.

at the same time

The fleeing team had already left Gucheng and headed towards Yicheng, the next county seat.

Today's snow has gradually weakened, but the biting cold wind still makes people's bones ache.

The most helpless thing is that the snow on the road is too thick. Most villagers push carts with all their belongings piled on them, so the journey is greatly slowed down.

The second room of the Yan family followed at the end of the Xinghua Village team, followed closely by Wen Yutang and Erzhu's group, followed by the Liu family and Cai family's motorcade, and following at the end of the team was the Xu family's motorcade.

A group of more than 3,000 people walked on the official road in a mighty manner until late in the evening, when the person leading the group suddenly stopped.

"There is a ruined temple ahead. The snow has been falling. We need to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain tonight. The only temple in front of us can avoid the snow."

Yan Fugui told everyone to wait where they were, and he took a few strong laborers to go to the temple to check.

After a while, the group hurried back.

"Seventh uncle, the temple is empty. It has been in disrepair and is very dilapidated. However, there are many empty rooms, which can barely accommodate our group of people. Moreover, there is a well in the temple with water in it."

The seventh uncle felt happy and glanced at the surrounding villagers. Everyone had obvious fatigue on their faces after traveling all day.

"Then go and inform everyone that we will spend the night in that temple tonight."

Yan Fugui nodded in agreement.

The ruined temple has two courtyards, front and rear. Each courtyard has eight houses. Various gods, Buddhas and bodhisattvas are worshiped in the houses. The ruined temple has been abandoned for too long and has long since lost its incense. Some of the furnishings in the house have accumulated a lot of water. Thick layer of dust.

The Yan Shu family was assigned to the main hall of the first courtyard. There was a stone statue of Buddha enshrined in it. There were incense burners and offerings on the table in front of the house. The window lattice and door frames in the house were dilapidated and creaked by the cold wind.

The seventh uncle, Yan Fugui, Xu family, Cai family, Liu family, Wen Yutang, Erzhu and others were all assigned to this main hall.

With the support of his grandson, the seventh uncle walked to the stone statue of Buddha, knelt down and bowed, told the Buddha his plan to stay overnight, and then ordered everyone to clean the room briefly.

In this important place of Buddhism, everyone looked very pious, and the main hall was cleaned up in a short time.

The Yan Shu family chose a spot in the east corner. It was too close to the window lattice, and the cold wind blew into the house through the cracks in the damaged window paper. Yan Ersheng didn't want his wife and daughter to get cold at night, so he finally decided to set up the tent.

At this time, there was a sound of carriages and horses outside the temple, and a convoy slowly drove into the temple. The carriage headed by it stopped outside the main entrance of the hall. Behind the carriage were more than 20 guards wearing black clothes.

Everyone in the hall walked to the door curiously. Wu Ming recognized He Feng who was guarding the carriage. He walked to Jiang Ci and whispered: "Master, the person in the carriage is Liu Hanyue."

Jiang Ci's deep eyes stared coldly at the carriage.

The coachman put down his horse, and a beautiful woman opened the curtain and slowly got out of the carriage.

The woman was wearing a long red brocade dress and a pure white mink velvet cloak, and her whole body was radiant with beauty.

The villagers who heard the commotion in the front yard came out to watch the excitement. When they saw the woman's appearance, the eyes of both men and women, old and young, showed a hint of surprise.

After the woman in red got off the carriage, her charming peach blossom eyes looked straight at Yan Shu.

"Sister, we meet again."
