Sir, I can do it!

After Wei Zhao left, Mrs. Wei immediately went to Ningzhou to seal a secret letter.Qing Xiaowei was also sent to Yunshuo and Erzhou to send two letters to Wei and his son.

Wei Shuhua came back and told Old Madam Wei: "Grandmother, the emperor has appointed General Yuanmeng as the chief general and Cheng Shixun as the deputy general, and will set out to march against Weinan at sunrise. I heard that all the salt used by the army will be supplied by the Feng family."

Old Madam Wei leaned halfway on the couch, opened her eyes when she heard this, and said with a smile: "The Feng family has also learned to be smart."

The Feng family first started the silk business. After gaining the title of imperial merchant, they opened a salt factory with a post from the imperial court.Although the scale of the salt farm is not large, but with the emperor's name on it, a lot of skilled craftsmen have been summoned, which makes the salt output not bad.The Feng family's salt is operated by ticket, which is not considered official salt, but every year the Feng family donates half of the profits from the salt farm to Li Huai to fill up their private treasury.

Recovering Weinan was crucial to Li Huai. At this time, the Feng family donated all the salt in the salt field, and the net profit lost alone was several 10 taels, which was not counting the cost of salt mining.But the Feng family's move hits Li Huai's heart, and it can be praised by the world, which can be regarded as accumulating a good reputation for the First Prince.

But according to Mrs. Wei's understanding of the master of the Feng family, he couldn't think of this level.Most of the Feng family offered the salt field because they were afraid of committing crimes and being remembered by others.Feng Yu is a brainy person, he may think more, but no matter what the result is, the Feng family's salt must be handed over.

Weinan can be called the granary of the state of Qi, and we don’t know how much to store grain and salt. If Weinan can be captured at this time, it will also appease the hearts of the people.Li Huai naturally understood this truth, so he sent Yuan Meng to fight at the end.

Mrs. Wei sighed and said, "If Yuan Meng had been made a general early on, there would not have been so many incidents. Now Weinan has to fight, and the hearts of the people in the world have to be at ease. If things don't go well for Zhao'er , my Wei family has been pushed to the forefront instead."

Wei Shuhua snorted: "I heard that the emperor praised the Feng family's salt donation at the court meeting. It is clear that he wants to force Ningzhou Xiwan Salt Farm to also donate salt."

The old lady Wei said: "The Xiwan salt field has already taken a step back. In fact, it had this purpose as early as when Li Huai sent Zhao'er to Huaizhong. At this time, the Feng family was the first to donate salt, so that the army went out smoothly. Afterwards, Ningzhou will continue Offering salt, everyone will only think that it should be done. He even has to calculate this clearly, which shows his heart."

Wei Shuhua understood, and was furious for a moment: "The co-author of Ningzhou's offering of salt is also a free offering. If you don't offer it, it will be true. This is really aggrieved."

The old lady Wei said quietly: "Who told us that our Wei family is always missed."

The grandfather and grandson talked for a while, and Mrs. Wei became a little mentally ill, and told Wei Shuhua to pay more attention to the outside situation, and told her to go play by herself.

Wei Shuhua was a little bored, and was thinking of going to the waterside pavilion to practice swords, but saw the little servant girl running over in a hurry, panting, "Second Miss, someone from the Han family has come, and they said they are asking Second Miss for a life-saving pill."

Wei Shuhua frowned: "Xiao Liangzi's house? Do you know what happened?"

The little servant girl shook her head: "The steward Wei only told the servants to come quickly to find the second young lady, but he never stated the truth."

Wei Shuhua was still in a trance for a while, and suddenly remembered the medicine bottle Wei Zhao gave her before leaving.Those were the pills made by Changsun Kelian, the best blood-tonifying medicine, and she left three pills in total.

She ran to the room non-stop, took the medicine bottle, and ran to the outer courtyard. Old doctor Lin was already waiting aside with the medicine box.

It was Han Chongliang's personal servant, Han Ping, who was stamping his feet anxiously. Seeing Wei Shuhua coming, he hurried up to meet him.

"Who was hurt?"

Han Ping wiped his tears and said in a crying voice, "It's the young master!"

Wei Shuhua asked the concierge to lead the horse, and asked Han Ping as he walked, "What's going on?"

Han Pingdao: "The young master went to see young master Wei off that day, and he didn't come home for several days, so he ran a horse in Xiaoxishan. The young man was afraid that the old lady would be worried, so he persuaded the young master with good words, and the young master agreed to go home today. Said to run After finishing a round of horses, I went back, and the younger one was waiting by the side. But after waiting for a long time for the young master not to return, the younger one was worried that something might happen to the young master, so he went to the woods to find someone, and saw the young master lying on the ground covered in blood... "

The Han family is the family of military generals. Han Chongliang has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has been injured constantly. The family has its own doctor, who is also good at dealing with trauma.But when it comes to internal recuperation, it is inferior.

When Wei Shuhua arrived, the little maids were bringing out a basin of bloody water, and then another little maid brought in clean water.The room was full of blood, and Mrs. Han was sitting by the bed wiping her tears.Han Chongliang's face was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, and his body was wrapped into rice dumplings, which showed that he was seriously injured.

Old doctor Lin and the government doctor nodded their greetings, and hurriedly checked Han Chongliang's pulse.As soon as I caught the pulse, I felt that the pulse was vague, but after a while, I felt that the pulse was still strong.

He asked the doctor, "Have you taken the medicine, Young Master Han?"

The doctor glanced at Mrs. Han, saw her eyes were lowered, and said, "When the young master was just sent back, he was hanging on his breath, so he gave the young master some medicine to boost his energy. But what's the problem?"

Old Doctor Lin frowned and shook his head, then asked, "Is there bleeding inside Young Master Han?"

The doctor said: "On the spleen."

Old Doctor Lin sighed: "It's not easy to take care of."

The government doctor nodded immediately: "It's a blessing to be able to save my life."

Wei Shuhua's eyes widened, until now she still hasn't realized that the person lying on the bed dying is the usual little Liangzi who has a mean mouth and even worse hands.Some time ago, they also competed in sword skills together.

Her eyes were slightly red, and she asked Mrs. Han: "Has Xiao Liangzi been plotted against?"

Mrs. Han wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said in a sobbing voice, "I don't know yet. When Han Ping found A Liang, he didn't see anyone else in the forest. The doctor diagnosed A Liang's injuries and said that the injuries on A Liang's body were caused by horses. The dragging was caused by the horse being frightened, A Liang failed to control the horse, accidentally fell off the horse, and was trampled by the horse's hoof."

Wei Shuhua hurriedly asked, "Is there a problem with the horse?"

Mrs. Han shook her head: "I asked the people below to investigate, and the horse was not drugged, nor was it secretly injured."

"Little Liangzi is very good at horsemanship, why did he suddenly fall off the horse?" Wei Shuhua was puzzled, but seeing Mrs. Han's sad expression, she couldn't ask any further questions.

Although Wei Zhao had a good relationship with Han Chongliang, it was the Han family's business after all.Han Qing led the army at the border with the Wei family father and son, so she and the Han family should not be too close.

Old doctor Lin left the medicine to go back home with Wei Shuhua.

On the way, Wei Shuhua asked old doctor Lin: "Little Liangzi is seriously injured? When will he wake up?"

Since there were no clues to be found in the woods, only the person involved knew what was going on.

Old doctor Lin stroked his beard, frowned, thought for a while and said: "Young master Han's pulse condition is very strange. The doctor of Han's family said that he had taken the medicine for raising qi and nourishing blood in advance, but the old man didn't look like it. But Han It's true that the young master was seriously injured. It's hard to say, hard to say."

Wei Shuhua said: "Could it be possible to fake the injury?"

Old Doctor Lin pretended to be dead and kept silent.

Wei Shuhua continued to ask, but old doctor Lin could only tell her: "You have done your best to deliver medicine to the Han family, but you should not take care of the Han family's affairs."

Seeing that old doctor Lin was unwilling to say more, Wei Shuhua also felt guilty in her heart. After returning home, she asked someone to go to Han's house to inquire.Knowing that they had just left, the palace sent an imperial physician to the Han family.It was said that Han Chongliang was seriously injured and needed rest. He might not be able to get out of bed within a month or two.

"... Afterwards, the palace sent a lot of precious medicinal materials to ask Master Han to heal his wounds carefully."

Wei Shuhua thought about it but couldn't figure out what was going on.Early the next morning, she went to the place where Han Chongliang raced to check.Some messy horseshoe marks should be traces left by Han Chongliang's horse.Looking around again, there is indeed no suspicious trace.Could it be that Han Chongliang accidentally fell off his horse?

She went to find Cao Ying, but Cao Ying didn't quite understand.

"Since Shuhua thinks the matter is suspicious, I'll ask my subordinates to pay more attention to the Han family."

Wei Shuhua kicked Shi Zi'er unhappily: "Xiao Liangzi is also my very good friend. If someone really harms him, I will help him avenge him."

Cao Ying cupped her hands jokingly: "Miss Wei Er is really chivalrous, Cao admires, admires."

Wei Shuhua glared at him, then stomped her feet: "I don't want to talk to you anymore."

Seeing her running away, Cao Ying shook her head and smiled helplessly.

Wei Zhao and his party hurried forward and finally entered Lianzhou City in the dark.It's just that there are no vacant rooms in several inns, and even the small inns are almost full.

Wei Zhao endured his leg injury and said impatiently, "Is Lianzhou City so lively?"

Although it was already dark, there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the streets of Lianzhou City, but upon closer inspection, their faces were more or less anxious, and they did not seem to be strolling.

Seeing that the inn couldn't accommodate, Han Si went to the street to find Yaren, intending to rent a yard.In fact, if he was on a business trip, he would probably find a ruined temple or a bridge sheltered from the wind.However, that grandfather's leg injury is not serious, and the case is still pending, so he dare not ignore it.

Yaren was sweating profusely from work. When Han Sizhi approached him, he was so busy that he was dizzy. He waved his hands without raising his head and said, "It's gone, it's gone, all the yards are gone, don't ask."

Han Sizhi couldn't help asking: "Why is Lianzhou City so lively?"

Yaren sat on the threshold and beat his sore calf, sighed: "The guest is from other places, no wonder he doesn't know what happened recently."

Han Sizhi raised his eyebrows, squatted down next to the Yaren, and said calmly, "I came with my young master. I went to Lianzhou City to rest before it got dark, and I was planning to leave at dawn. Let's go to Huaizhou."

The toothman looked up at his eyes, and said without surprise, "Ask about Yan?"

Han Si smiled and nodded.

The Yaren said: "Seventy percent of the merchants who come and go in Lianzhou City every day are here for Huaizhong Salt. In normal times, I can introduce you to a salt merchant master, but now is not the time. I Look at this big brother is also a simple and honest person, and to tell you the truth, there is a big case in Huaizhong, the salt produced by the three nobles was robbed in Huaikou, and the officials and lords are in a state of desperation."

He pointed to the people coming and going on the street, some were running fast, and some were looking around.He said: "See, why do you think Lianzhou City is so lively? It's not because the salt merchants from all over the world are impatient when they hear about it. After hearing the news, many salt shops in Lianzhou City stopped selling them. Now The price of salt in Lianzhou City is ten times higher than the price of food during the famine. Just wait and see, I don’t know what the market will be tomorrow.”

Han Sizhi frowned. It seemed that the situation in Lianzhou City was more serious than expected.He asked Yaren: "Brother, do you know where I can rent a yard? My young master has been traveling all the way and is not feeling well, so I ask my brother to show me the way."

Yaren sighed: "If I don't help you, you have also seen the situation in Lianzhou City. You really can't make room. Even my house is full of relatives who came to buy salt. But since you are going to Huai If you go to Zhouzhou, it is better to go to the nunnery in the east of the city for a night, which can always protect you from the wind and rain. When you leave the city tomorrow, you can go to the Yuxu Temple on Baicui Peak for a night, and you can have a good rest. But maybe tomorrow you will see it. We will not go to Huaizhou because of the situation in Huaizhou."

He patted Han Sizhi's shoulder earnestly, and said: "This is the first time for you to run to Huaizhong, listen to my advice, it's better not to go forward at this time. Maybe there will be chaos at any time, it's better to hurry up." Go home."

Han Sizhi thanked Yaren, and left with a heavy face.
