Congratulations on opening the coffin

Seeing that she didn't speak, Qi'er thought she was really angry, and carefully tugged at her sleeve: "It's not all because she called her mother deaf first, I just fought back."

"It's okay." She raised her hand and patted the top of his head, "Mother is not angry."

As she said that, she led the person to continue walking, but she didn't want to, Qi'er suddenly said: "Mother, no matter what you become, in Qi'er's eyes, you are the most beautiful."

Shen Ruo paused, and subconsciously touched the face under the hood. As time went by, the scars on his face gradually smoothed out, without the creepy feeling of rough tree trunks at the beginning.

But still feel different from smooth skin.

She really didn't care much about this face. If she had worn a veil in the past, she would not have purposely covered it with a mask. Occasionally the wind would blow the veil, and a small piece of skin would be exposed.

With Qi'er's cleverness, how could she not guess her current appearance.

Just when she was in a complicated mood, Qi'er continued to add: "Mother, don't worry, if someone dares to speak against you, I will cut off his head and serve as a chamber pot envoy to Mother."

"..." She dared not use this chamber pot.

Not wanting to continue this topic, she dragged Qi'er away from the Sheriff's Mansion in a hurry.

Pingjiang County is located in the south of the central part of the Xiao Kingdom. There is a big river running through it. The terrain is generally flat.

The common people also live and work in peace and contentment, and they are happy and harmonious. Although it is not as prosperous as the capital city, it is more vibrant.

Shen Ruo was not in a hurry to investigate the matter of the medicinal materials, but instead dragged Qi'er around. Although the governor of the king was smooth and sophisticated, he did not miss what he should do.

When it comes to investigating the situation, the best place is naturally the inn.

She purposely found a small inn, sat down, ordered a pot of tea and two plates of pastries, and listened carefully to the chatter of the people next to her, who's cow was stolen, whose child was sick, who's daughter and others Ran.

After listening for a while, Shen Ruo became a little bored, so he leaned over to the leader table and asked curiously: "I heard that the plague is spreading in Shuiding County next door, so it won't come to us?"

But I didn't want to, those people were quite defensive, and the eldest brother stared at her suspiciously: "Judging from the girl's accent, it seems that she is not a local?"

She smiled: "I came here to do business with my family. I heard that the governor of Pingjiang County is open-minded. It is good to do business here. I am ready to settle here."

"The girl is in the medicine business?"

She was taken aback, and realized that the smell of traditional Chinese medicine on her body exposed herself, she pretended to be embarrassed, and smiled: "Yes, I heard that the medicinal materials here are more expensive than other places, so I want to come here for a chance. As long as it is one or two times more expensive than other places, we will be satisfied."

But I didn't want the elder brother to snort coldly: "Don't think about it, our medicinal materials have been bought out by the Zhou family, and medicinal material dealers from other places cannot enter."

"No way, how could the governor Wang agree to this situation?"

She paused and lowered her volume, "Could it be that the sheriff took bribes?"

But as soon as the words came out, the elder brother immediately pretended to be secretive, looked around nervously, and said in a low voice: "Little girl, seeing that you are from another place, I remind you that in Pingjiang County, you can't talk nonsense. There are quite a few lackeys of the sheriff watching over it."

"I heard that the imperial envoys came to Beijing recently, so I have to be more cautious in my words and deeds. If those running dogs find out that someone is talking nonsense, they will have to peel off their skin if they don't die."

Shen Ruo frowned: "What should I say, that Wang Jun guard has a name, is he a bad official?"

An old man at another table came over: "The little girl just has no experience, so how can you judge a person by good or bad?"

Shen Ruo deliberately said: "He colluded with traders and put eyeliner everywhere, isn't it bad enough?"

The old man sneered: "Since you have heard about Shuiding County, you should know what the county magistrate looks like, right? That is the real bad official who should be punished and killed."

"At least Wang Xiaohai won't be blatant and blatant, and he doesn't have the guts to take away people's fat..."

The old man at the same table gave him a tug: "Old Caitou, stop talking nonsense, do you still want your head?"

Shen Ruo was reluctant to waste this clue, and couldn't help asking: "I also heard that the county magistrate of Shuiding County was killed by people from Heifengzhai. Who are these Heifengzhai people? They are so courageous." Already!"

Others could not help persuading her: "Little girl, don't be curious, knowing too much is not good for you."

Shen Ruo smiled, pretending to be arrogant and said: "What? Could it be that they also have eyeliners, and they can come from thousands of miles to kill me? They are just some lost dogs!"

Suddenly, she noticed an angry gaze, she subconsciously looked over, it was a plainly dressed little girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old.

She didn't seem to expect that Shen Ruo would look over, she was stunned for a moment, and wanted to look away, but she seemed to think of something, gave her another hard look, and ran out of the inn.

And just now Shen Ruo's "death" remarks scared the people around him away, fearing that they would be in trouble.

Seeing no useful information, Shen Ruo had no choice but to take Qi'er to the pharmacy.

I saw someone inside arguing with the shopkeeper: "Boss, please do me a favor. When my brother wakes up, I will definitely be able to collect money for you."

The shopkeeper waved his hand unmoved: "Walk around, what kind of medicine do you have to buy if you don't have money? Our place is not a philanthropic hall, and we don't accept credit! We have to buy it elsewhere."

"But the medicinal materials I need are sold here, shopkeeper, you should do a good deed and sell them to me."

There were tears in the girl's eyes, and her pleading expression was like a dewy little white flower. She was so pitiful. The shopkeeper who was coldly refusing suddenly had a thought and smiled: "It's not impossible to ask me to sell you, but I must have some benefits."

The girl reacted in an instant, Huarong shouted palely: "No! If you don't sell it, forget it, I'll buy it elsewhere!"

She was about to leave, but was held back by the shopkeeper: "Don't run away, we have something to discuss! Nowadays, almost all the drugstores in Pingjiang County belong to our Zhou family. Where else can you buy them? As long as you Follow me, the popular ones, the spicy ones, and your brother, I also guarantee that he will be healthy and alive, what do you think!"

"You let me go, I won't buy it! I won't buy it!"

It's just that she is a little girl, and she is no match for a grown man. When the people outside the store heard the noise, they didn't dare to come forward to help, bowed their heads, and left in a hurry.

The shopkeeper saw that she was fine and didn't listen, so he smiled grimly: "Since you have entered my territory, where do you want to go, just obey me obediently!"

"You give up, no one will come to save you."

Seeing the girl being dragged into the shop, suddenly there was a cold voice at the door: "Didn't you hear that she was unwilling? Still not letting go!"
