"Hey! You!" The boy was anxious, standing up and rushing over.

"Huh?" Li Changtian was also stunned, but he still stopped the boy first, "Don't worry, don't worry."

Yan Shu returned with the bowl and said, "This medicine is cold in nature, and my sister is young. Taking it will not only cure her badly, she will also accumulate illness."

"This, that's it..." The young man was stunned.

"Didn't you take her to see it?" Li Changtian asked.

The young man shook his head, his voice like a mosquito: "I don't have enough money, I look down on it. I told the doctor about the illness, and I took the medicine directly..."

Yan Shu squatted down in front of the sick little girl, touched the little girl's hot forehead, then looked at the tongue coating, checked her pulse, and asked about her symptoms, and finally walked out without saying a word.

Half an hour later, Yan Shu came back with a bottle of pills in his hand. He handed the bottle to the boy and said, "Take it with warm water, three times a day, and you will be cured in seven days."

The boy was overjoyed, shouted his benefactor several times, and then poured warm water.

Yan Shu found the leader of this group of exiled people again.

The leader was an old man, Yan Shu asked carefully and knew the reason for their exile.

Huaibei suffered from severe drought, natural and man-made disasters, and starvation all over the land. In order to survive, they migrated south with their families to escape the disaster.

Yan Shu took out the money, distributed it to them, and said, "The southwest is building water conservancy and recruiting troops. You can go there and settle down."

Everyone was very grateful, and surrounded Yan Shu to thank him again and again.

Leaving the ruined temple, Li Changtian and Yan Shu walked towards the inn. Thinking of what happened just now, Li Changtian couldn't help but ask, "So you still know medical skills?"

Yan Shu said lightly, "My father is a doctor, so I know a little about it."

Li Changtian whistled: "So modest? As expected of the inspector."

"..." Yan Shu glanced at Li Changtian and said, "Actually, I was ordered to travel this time because of the drought in Huaibei."

"Huh? How to say?" Li Changtian asked.

"Huaibei suffered a severe drought, and the imperial court allocated 100,000 taels of silver for disaster relief."

"That's a good thing."

"But..." Yan Shu's eyes narrowed, "One hundred thousand taels of silver disappeared for no reason on the way. The Minister of War, Mr. Xu, who was in charge of transporting the silver taels, and thirty-three Jinyi guards disappeared with them."

"Ah? What? What does it mean to disappear?" Li Changtian was surprised, "Is it stolen or robbed?"

Yan Shu shook his head: "Let's not talk about the Jinyiwei who accompanied them, all of them are masters and should not be underestimated, and if they were stolen or robbed, they should have reported to the court as soon as possible, but they all suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and there is no news. , no one can be found, no silver taels can be found.”

Li Changtian got goosebumps all over and rubbed it hard. He asked, "Could it be that Master Xu was greedy for the money and then ran away secretly?"

Yan Shu said lightly: "If Master Xu wants to be greedy alone, will the thirty-three Jinyi guards watch him guard and steal from himself? If they are divided into two silver coins and spend each other's money, but most of these thirty-four people are relatives and relatives in the capital. There are old people and young people, but no one returns home, isn’t it weird?”

"It's weird, it's too weird." Li Changtian muttered.

"I'm here to find out this matter." Yan Shu said.

"This is ignorant, how do I check it?" Li Changtian couldn't help but ask.

Yan Shu looked to the north with a faint gaze.

"Master Xu sent a letter to the imperial court for the last time, reporting the itinerary, and it came from the residence of Shuofang Jiedu. We will investigate from there."

All the way north, the weather was getting cold and dry. When Yan Shu and Li Changtian settled down to rest, they could always see a big man in a mink and a machete holding a wine bowl and talking rhetorically.

On this day, the two rested at a post station and asked for a bowl of water to drink. As soon as they sat down, Yan Shu said lightly, "Tomorrow will arrive."

"Huh? It's that festival." Li Changtian thought about it for a long time, but didn't say anything.

"Jiedu Shi." Yan Shu said.

"Yes." Li Changtian nodded, "By the way, is this Jiedushi a high-ranking official?"

Yan Shu nodded: "The governor, also known as the commander-in-chief."

"Oh?" Li Changtian asked with interest, "It's designed to protect the frontier from being invaded by foreigners?"

Yan Shu was surprised, and then hummed.

Li Changtian sighed with emotion: "That's incredible, the local military and political chief, but also, after all, the territory is vast and the road is long, so to consolidate the frontier defense, you still have to station the army directly."

Yan Shu stared at Li Changtian.

Li Changtian was seen with hair on his back: "What? I have flowers on my face."

"You seem... to have a good idea of ​​military power?" Yan Shu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The importance of nine-year compulsory education." Li Changtian said proudly.

"..." Yan Shu lowered his eyes and raised his bowl to drink water, "You are talking nonsense again."

"You said nonsense, so that's it." Li Changtian smiled.

"Hand." Yan Shu said suddenly after drinking the water, putting down the bowl.

Li Changtian stretched out his hand while yawning.

Before, he always forgot to apply the medicine, Yan Shu couldn't stand it any longer, and he applied it himself every time. Now the two of them have developed a tacit understanding. As long as Yan Shu glanced at Li Changtian's hands, Li Changtian silently stretched out his hands.

Yan Shu untied the cotton cloth on Li Changtian's fingers and looked in front of him, and saw that most of them had recovered, and the severely injured fingernails had fallen off by the newly grown tops.

Yan Shu squeezed lightly and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Li Changtian shook his head: "I don't feel pain."

"There's no need to wrap or apply medicine in the future, be careful not to get hurt." Yan Shu cleaned up the cotton cloth on the table.

"That's great!" Li Changtian's eyes lit up, he crossed his hands, and moved his lower knuckles.

"Come on, keep going."

"it is good."

The pommel was tired, and Bu Fan was safe. The two arrived at a bustling town at noon.

The market in the city is very lively, with knives wielding knights, hawkers and grooms shouting, teahouses and pubs are crowded together, and from time to time, one or two strange-looking Hu people can be seen.

Although Li Changtian followed Yan Shu, he looked around frequently and was very curious. When he saw novel things such as juggling, he stretched his neck even more.

Yan Shu glanced at Li Changtian and slowed down without saying a word.

The two led the horse, walked through the noisy market, and came to the outskirts of the west of the city. It was quite quiet here, and there was no more shouting and high talk.

Walking to an unremarkable courtyard, Yan Shu stopped and looked up.

Li Changtian followed his gaze.

The courtyard is not big, the red lacquer door is closed, it is quiet and solemn.

"Hey, what is that..." Li Changtian suddenly said.

"Jiedu Shi." Yan Shu took the trouble to correct.

"Yes, Jiedushi, do you live here?"

"Um."

"It's not like a place where the governor's soldiers live."

Yan Shu glanced at Li Changtian and said, "The Shuofang military camp is forty miles away, this place is just..."

"No no no, I mean, it's too... Wen Ya and quiet." Li Changtian said.

"He's a person who doesn't like fun." Yan Shu tied the horse's reins to the tree trunk outside the courtyard and said to Li Changtian, "Let's go."

"Okay." Li Changtian followed Yan Shu.

Yan Shu stepped forward, slapped the door three times, stopped and waited.

A moment later, the red lacquer door was opened, and an old man who was over sixty years old, with gray temples and a hunched back stuck his head out.

The moment he saw Yan Shu, the old man showed a look of surprise.

"Uncle Zhao." Yan Shu bowed and saluted.

Zhao Bo bent down and nodded, then set his eyes on Li Changtian.

"This is a friend." Yan Shu said.

Uncle Zhao nodded again, opened the door, and invited the two of them in.

Rao is that Li Changtian didn't know the rules of this dynasty, but he also saw that something was wrong.

In the past, when Yan Shu went to the government for inspection, the magistrates of the Yamen, and even the prefect, respected him, and came out to greet him in person, shouting 'Sir of the Inspector' one by one.

Why is this place, like ordinary people are visiting?

Li Changtian didn't dare to ask any more questions, but just followed Yan Shu with a bewildered face.

Seeing Li Changtian's tangled expression, Yan Shu said, "Uncle Zhao is the manager here, but he's dumb."

"Ah? Oh..." Li Changtian nodded, then reacted suddenly, and asked, "Wait, is the manager dumb?"

Yan Shu hummed.

Li Changtian: "…"

Brother, you might as well not explain, your explanation makes me even more embarrassed! !

The three entered the gate house and came to the courtyard. The courtyard was shady with green trees, with a grape trellis pergola in the middle.

Uncle Zhao did not lead the two directly into the hall, but shouted "Aahahah" to the hall.

suddenly! Several short darts flew out of the hall and went straight to Yanshu's eyes!

Yan Shu reacted very quickly, pushing away Li Changtian who was standing beside him, pulling out the long sword from his waist, and swinging his short dart.

Just listening to the sound of 'Ding Dang', all the short darts landed.

A person leaped out of the hall, the man swung his sword towards Yan Shu, Yan Shu raised his hand to resist, the two swords collided, and there was a clamor.

"Yan Shu!" Li Changtian was pushed back, quickly stabilized his body, and wanted to come forward to help.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Zhao stopped Li Changtian.

Li Changtian was surprised to find out.

This old man who looks like a candle in the wind is extremely powerful!
