The daily life of a charming girl who made a fortune in ancient times

Chapter 46 The identity of the old man
After Shen Shang ate, drank medicine and fell asleep, Fang Shi, Ma Sanshu, Shen Ge and Lin Ruyu sat around the small kitchen table, discussing what to do next.

Mr. Shen was rescued by his daughter. Fang did not wait for Uncle Ma and Shen Ge to open his mouth before saying, "Although the old man has woken up, he is seriously injured. If he leaves here tomorrow, his injury will definitely worsen. Let's take care of him." If you stay, you can take care of him for a day. But when my second uncle finds him, if the old man’s relatives haven’t come yet, we can pick him up on a boat and go to Xuanzhou to recuperate.”

Hearing Fang's words, Uncle Ma felt much more relaxed. He straightened his chest and said, "There are floods everywhere outside, so it's inconvenient to send news. Even if someone really chased and killed this old man, no one came after him all day and all night. It’s unlikely to come. To put it bluntly, if someone chased us and we couldn’t resist it, and finally had to hand over the old man, we would be worthy of our conscience and have an explanation to Brother Chen Hong.”

Saving people is a kind act, but you should do what you can, everyone nodded.

Shen Ge said, "Three groups of people came to the temple today and later, most of them are from the village or nearby villages, and there are a few merchants. There may be more people coming tomorrow. Let's count the number of people in our courtyard as the least, why not let Gao The three brothers came to live in the main room. There are too many people here, and those people dare not come to make trouble. The room where the three brothers live now is given to the six men from Zhaojiawan who just came up later. The people in Zhaojiawan have dealt with the three brothers of the Gao family before, and now there are six friends in the temple, which means that there are less than a dozen enemies."

"This is a good way." Lin Ruyu understood Shen Ge's meaning. With the addition of six people from Zhaojiawan, the number of young and strong men on their side is more than ten. Anyone in the temple who wants to play with them has to be weighed. "Tomorrow we have to make more preparations. We try to collect as much sap as possible from dripping Guanyin, nettles, sumac, sage and other poisonous plants and poisonous trees to make medicine. It's a pity that we don't have bows, otherwise we can make some bamboo arrows for self-defense."

When Lin Ruyu met Mr. Shen on the hillside, she began to plan to kill the old man's enemies. How should she deal with it? Today, she took Dafu and Gao's brothers to collect a lot of venom, but the more these things, the better.

Shen Ge said, "We have two bows and more than 20 arrows, as well as three daggers and two ghost-head knives, all of which I found from Taojiazhuang."

Shen Ge was extremely exhausted after taking back the baggage from Hao Lianzhai this morning, he only told his son to take out the clothes, wash and hang them, and did not have time to clean up other things.

Hearing that there was a weapon, the eyes of the three people in the room lit up.Uncle Ma raised his hand and rubbed Shen Ge's head, "It's really you! Starting tomorrow, you, me and brother Gao will each have a knife on their waist. This formation is enough to bluff people. Bows and arrows are also good things. .”

"Third uncle, don't rub my head, I'm not a child!" Shen Ge complained in a low voice, subconsciously glanced at Lin Ruyu, saw that she was really laughing at him, and immediately put on an adult appearance, saying, "I don't know how rusty No, I'll take it over and have a look."

"Dafu and I use a bow." Although Fang had practiced the saber for two days, she knew in her heart that the saber in her own hands was far less useful than the three brothers of the Gao family. Not bad, I should be able to draw my bow."

Even if the mother can't draw the bow, she can.Lin Ruyu continued, "In addition to the iron arrows, let's make some bamboo arrows. Put poison on the arrows. If the situation becomes more chaotic, we can put sharpened wooden sticks under the wall to prevent thieves."

Although the poison made by Lin Ruyu was not fatal, it was extremely itchy.The itching came up, and sometimes it was more unbearable than the pain.Uncle Ma nodded, "It's done, let's start tonight."

When Shen Ge took the burden, everyone found that although the weapon was soaked in water and rusted on the surface, there was only a shallow layer.

Fang and Lin Ruyu didn't need to be on duty tonight, so after Xu time, the mother and daughter went back to the east wing from the kitchen to rest.After working all day, Mrs. Fang squeezed her daughter's arms, and said in a low voice, "Does Jiaojiao know who is the biggest official in our Great Xia Dynasty?"

Lin Ruyu, whose head was full of poison, was stunned for a moment, then smirked, "I don't know, my daughter, is she the prime minister?"

"No." Mrs. Fang motioned her daughter to turn sideways, stretched out the other arm, and continued to knead and massage her, "We don't have a prime minister in the Great Xia, and the highest office that governs the world's government affairs is the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. , the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Duzhi, and the Ministry of Industry. The largest official in Shangshu Province is called Shangshuling, and it is the largest official in our Great Zhou."

Xuanzhou is more than [-] miles away from the capital city of Great Xia. Lin Ruyu is just a carefree businesswoman. She usually pays attention to the delicious food and fun in Xuanzhou City. For such a big official like Shang Shuling, it is too much for her. It's too far away.Lin Ruyu kneaded her mother's hands that had become a little rough after working hard for a few days, and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with Shang Shuling?"

Mrs. Fang continued, "Under the order of the Minister, there are two servants on the left and right. Many years ago, your uncle came to Xuanzhou to talk with your father in the study. He once mentioned the matter of Marquis Wu'an as the left servant. When the mother was not married, I remember your grandfather mentioned that the Marquis of Wu'an seems to be named Shen."

Marquis of Wu'an? !Lin Ruyu's eyes widened, "Mother means the uncle in Donglijian..."

"Although that man was in trouble and injured, it was hard to hide his extraordinary bearing. For some reason, Mother suddenly thought of Marquis Wu An." Fang pulled out her hand and covered her daughter with a quilt, "That's what Mother said, how is Marquis Wu An?" No matter what the noble status is, it will not be reduced to this, so go to sleep."

Lin Ruyu responded, but there was a huge wave in her heart.Even though she was "rescued" by An Ziyuan in Xuanzhou, the news was blocked, but she also heard that Marquis Wu'an died of illness in Xuanzhou unexpectedly, which angered the emperor and punished a large number of civil and military officials in Xuanzhou.

The old man who is now lying in the east room with serious injuries and can't hide his grief in the evening may be Marquis Wu'an?

Seems... possible.Because she was reborn, she saved Shen Shangzhi. If she hadn't been reborn, Shen Shangzhi would have died in the rain yesterday.

Lin Ruyu bit her lip.

If Shen Shangzhi is really Marquis Wu'an, then the person who chased and killed him must have a lot of background, and it is extremely difficult.The person who pursued and killed Shen Shangzhi was not only dressed similar to the person who ambushed An Ziyuan, but also wore the same style of thick bamboo hairpin, so they should be in the same group.If Shen Shangzhi is Marquis of Wu'an, who is An Ziyuan?

It is very possible that he also has a desperate identity.

Lin Ruyu bit her lip hard, no matter who he is, he will never plot against the Lin family again in this life!

　Thank you Bingbing for the monthly ticket, good morning.
