i don't want to be emperor

After all, there are not so many people in this world who like to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, and as a rookie assassin who has been more or less recognized by the empress dowager in terms of force value, the result of Hu Yin's battle this time is obvious.

After being defeated by Hu Yin, the bearded man put away the weapon in his hand willingly, despite his expression of displeasure, as if he wanted to tell a story.

"Wait a minute." Seeing this, Qin Yi stopped him immediately, and asked in surprise, "Are you planning to just say it here?"

The bearded man frowned: "Is there a problem?"

"If you want to listen to the story, of course you have to find a teahouse." Qin Yi said as a matter of course, "Although there are no teahouses now, there are usually places like tea shops on the side of this small road."

Why is this young master so busy!

The bearded man thought about it, but he still said, "One incense stick further ahead, there is a tea shop."

"Then let's go there now." Qin Yi said with a smile, "I can treat you to tea."

All right, all right, you have the final say if your fist is big.

The bearded man glanced at Hu Yin apprehensively, and nodded silently.Judging by the young master's attitude, he doesn't seem like a cruel person. Although the request is a bit strange, he probably won't kill them... right?

After walking forward for a certain distance, they saw a very simple tea shop.The three of Qin Yi dismounted, tied the horse to a tree trunk at one side, and walked into the tea shop.

The owner of the tea shop is a middle-aged man with some pockmarks on his face. When he saw Qin Yi and his party, he put on a simple and honest smile on his face and greeted him: "Do you guys want to eat anything?"

Qin Yi asked: "Do you have anything to eat here?"

"There are homemade steamed buns and pickles." The pockmarked man replied, "There are also some wild game hunted in the mountains."

Qin Yi thought for a while and said, "Then let's have some wild game."

"Okay." The man responded, stretching out his hand to guide him in, "Everyone, please sit inside."

After Qin Yi and the others sat down, the man brought a bowl of tea to each of them, and then walked to the stove separated by a cloth curtain, presumably to prepare game.

After Qin Yi sat down, he first looked at the environment in the tea shop, then at the tea bowl in front of him, and after taking a sip of tea, he looked at the bearded man: "Okay, now tell me your story Before that, tell me your names."

After walking for such a distance, the dissatisfaction in the bearded man's heart has dissipated a lot.After hearing Qin Yi's words, the man said calmly, "My name is Zhang Wu, and he is my younger brother, Zhang Cai."

Zhang Wu and Zhang Cai are two brothers from Zhangjia Village in Ningcheng, and they have an elder brother named Zhang Wen above them.A few years ago when the army was drafted, the elder brother Zhang Wen was drafted into the army, leaving only the elder sister-in-law at home.Zhang Wu and Zhang Cai have been taking care of their sister-in-law since then, earning a living by working in the salt field outside Ningcheng.

After Zhang Wen was conscripted into the army, there was no news. The elder sister-in-law missed her elder brother day and night at home, and her health was not very good.To make matters worse, not long ago, Li Fugui, the son of the salt farm owner, accidentally saw their sister-in-law, so he took a fancy to their sister-in-law and wanted to take her into his house.

Naturally, they were unwilling to hand over their sister-in-law to this dude. Fortunately, they had learned some martial arts by chance, so that they could deal with Li Fugui's servants, but their work was naturally ruined.

The sister-in-law's health was not very good, after this stimulation, she became even sicker.In order to earn money to see a doctor and buy medicine for their sister-in-law, they can only do things like block roads and robbery.

"We didn't intend to hurt anyone, as long as we can raise enough money for my sister-in-law's medical treatment." Zhang Cai added after Zhang Wu finished speaking, "There are several groups of people before you, but it seems that they are nothing. Rich people, so my second brother and I didn't make a move."

So it's because we seem too rich to be robbed by you.Hu Yin and Liu Qingxuan thought so in their hearts at the same time.

However, Qin Yi, who had also listened to the stories of the Zhang family brothers, noticed another thing. He asked, "Is the owner of the salt farm you mentioned a businessman?"

Although he didn't understand why Qin Yi would ask such a question, Zhang Wu still nodded and said, "That's right, Li Huan, the owner of the salt farm, is the richest businessman in Ningcheng. Almost all of them are in his name."

After listening to Zhang Wu's answer, Qin Yi looked at Hu Yin and Liu Qingxuan, and couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly after finding that the expressions on their faces hadn't changed.

He used to think that there was a loyal and capable minister like Wang Lang in the court, backed by the Empress Dowager, the difficulty of him as an emperor was unrealistically low, now it seems that the difficulty is here?

Qin Yi knew a little bit about Qin's policies when he was bored before. Among them, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business was very similar to many countries he had ruled before, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

However, since it emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business, how can a resource land like a salt farm be held in the hands of a businessman?And these people still look like a matter of course? !What kind of emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business is this?

Thinking of this, Qin Yi couldn't help but frowned. Do the court officials think that as long as they don't allow those merchants and their children to participate in the scientific examination, they are suppressing them?It seems that the policy in this area really needs to be revised.

Qin Yi, who suffered from an occupational disease, had obviously forgotten his original intention of getting rid of the status of emperor.

Seeing Qin Yi's frown, Zhang Wu's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help asking: "The story is over, can we go?"

Qin Yi came back to his senses and smiled at him: "If you leave now, will you still go to rob?"

Zhang Wu fell silent.Without getting the money, they would of course continue to work, but he was worried that if he said it directly, he would offend the young master with a powerful entourage in front of him, so he had no choice but to keep silent.

Seeing his appearance, Qin Yi also guessed what the other party was thinking, so he propped his chin and continued: "The reason why you went to rob is to save your sister-in-law. If I save your sister-in-law, are you willing?" At what price?"

Zhang Wu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said in a deep voice: "If you are willing to save our sister-in-law, my son, I will sell our brother's life to you!"

If he just needed some money, Zhang Wu would naturally not make such a promise.However, the Li family is too powerful in Ningcheng, and Li Fugui is the only son of the Li family. Since he ordered the medical clinics in Ningcheng not to give their sister-in-law medical treatment, no doctor would dare to obey the order of the Li family. help them.

Their original plan was to take their sister-in-law to another city after getting some money, and seek medical treatment after leaving the Li family's sphere of influence.

As the so-called elder brother is like a father, after the early death of their parents, it was the eldest brother who worked hard to bring them up.The eldest sister-in-law grew up with her eldest brother's childhood sweetheart, and she is the eldest brother's favorite person. If the young man in front of him can help them cure his eldest sister-in-law, it will be worthwhile for them to work under this young man from now on.

After hearing Zhang Wu's words, Qin Yi frowned, and was about to refuse, but suddenly remembered his real goal, and nodded with a smile: "Alright, I just need two people to help me run errands. You go back to Ningcheng first, we will go to Ningcheng after dinner, then, if you come to me, I will help you cure your sister-in-law."

To be honest, if it was Qin Yi from before this life, he would never accept these two people.The reason is very simple. These two people put the importance of their sister-in-law above their lives, and their sister-in-law has become their weakness and weakness. If they are accepted, as long as his enemy catches them This weakness of theirs can easily make them betray him.

But now, what Qin Yi wants is their betrayal.

After the two left, Liu Qingxuan asked Qin Yi: "Master, do you know medical skills?"

Qin Yi shook his head: "How can I know medical skills?"

"Then why did the young master promise those two people that he could cure their sister-in-law?" Liu Qingxuan asked puzzled.

Qin Yi, who heard Liu Qingxuan's question, looked at her with a very surprised look, and said, "Don't you know medical skills?"

Liu Qingxuan's heart tightened when she heard the words, she really knows medical skills well, but she has never mentioned this to anyone, how did the little emperor know?

After she was silent for a while, Qin Yi showed a disappointed expression on his face: "Aren't you a person who came down from Taihua Mountain to practice in the world? How could you not understand medical skills?"

Liu Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked in puzzlement: "Why do people who come down from Taihua Mountain have to know medical skills?" Taihua Mountain is not famous for its medical skills.

"That's what is said in the scriptures." Qin Yi said as a matter of course, "As long as the young people who come down from the mountain, they are basically all-rounders who can do everything, such as medicine and pharmacology, astrology, divination, and even piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is also proficient in all kinds of poems and songs."

Liu Qingxuan suddenly felt a little dumbfounded.

The author has something to say: Since everyone has already commented and urged for an update, then by the way, give this work a score. Even if it is a zero score, I will be sad.
