Nongmen doctor girl: flirt with a sick and charming first child

Chapter 28 Salt Trafficking

The leader strutted up to the counter, slapped the silver ingot onto the counter with a "pop" sound, and shouted like a bell: "Who is the shopkeeper?"

Perhaps he heard the noise, and a man in his forties came out from behind the curtain.

Although Qiao Muyao had been here many times, this was the first time she met the shopkeeper. She saw this lean and square-faced man. As soon as he came in, he nodded and bowed and asked, "I wonder what the officials want?"

"Give me all the medicines in your store that treat knife wounds and sword wounds, and promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis!"

The shopkeeper was taken aback, "Hurry up and do it!"

Several apprentices and waiters put down their work as if they were relieved and began to look for the medicinal materials he mentioned.

There are many people and strength, but in just a quarter of an hour, the medicinal materials such as Bletilla striata and Puhuang were packed, and the golden sore medicine for treating knife wounds and plasters for bruises were also cleared away.

"This matter must not be publicized, otherwise I will kill you without mercy!" The leader glanced at everyone coldly, and then left with large and small bags.

This sharp, knife-like look made people shudder. Only when they watched them leave did everyone dare to take a deep breath.

"Who are these people?"

Qiao Muyao couldn't help but ask after taking the two medicine bags from her brother's hand.

"Shh!"

The apprentice made a silent movement, took a look at the surrounding situation, and then lowered his voice and said: "There are probably casualties at Pine Castle, and the army is collecting medicinal materials."

In the original owner's memory, Pine Tree Castle was only over 100 miles away, and her grandfather's village was not far from Pine Tree Castle. She had gone there with her mother when she was a child.

"Why haven't I heard of it? What's going on at Pine Castle?"

Qiao Muyao was a little surprised that there was nothing in the original owner's memory about such a big thing.

"Be quiet!"

The apprentice lowered his voice again and whispered into her ear: "Songshu Castle is on the border with the Song Dynasty. In the past few years, the Song Dynasty has suffered a severe drought. The people have been living in dire straits and have frequently invaded our border. A month ago, the imperial court specially sent troops to exterminate them. Who would have thought that The Song State also sent additional manpower, and the confrontation between the two armies lasted for more than a month. Isn't this because they were afraid of causing panic, so they didn't publicize it in a big way. Not many people know about this, so don't let me get in trouble with your nonsense."

"Don't worry, I will never hurt you!"

After coming out of the pharmacy, Qiao Muchao went to Xu's house with a bamboo basket on her back. Mrs. Xu's attitude suddenly changed.As soon as she entered the door, she was warmly served with the bird's nest soup prepared in advance. She said that thanks to her, she felt much better than before, and even asked her if she had eaten.If you haven’t eaten yet, arrange for the kitchen to cook immediately.

Not wanting to hit the smiling man, Qiao Muchao didn't face any difficulties this time. She only pricked a few acupuncture points to relieve asthma and promote blood circulation, and secretly added energy in the name of giving medicine.

Qiao Mu Yao was a little soft-hearted. To be honest, every time she heard the old lady breathing hard and breathless like a bellows, she felt so uncomfortable that she wished she could be cured immediately.

Considering that this old lady has been suffering from illness for a long time, it is normal for her to be paranoid.After discovering the effect, her attitude towards herself also changed. What else could such a person care about?
Although Qiao Muchao is soft-hearted, it does not mean that she can be like Baozi and be careless about everything.

In fact, she is a bit vindictive, but at the same time, she must repay kindness. If you are sincere to me, I will repay you with sincerity.

After Lao Li sent her back to the village, he thought that he would wait for her to cook another can of bamboo shoots and take her away as usual, but before he reached the entrance of the village, he saw a carriage with a cage parked under a big camphor tree.

The canopy of trees was crowded with people, and almost everyone in the col, men, women, old and young, was out in force.

"Look, she's back!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and everyone immediately turned around. Dozens or hundreds of pairs of eyes suddenly looked at her.

What's happening here?
Before Qiao Mu Yao could figure out the situation, he saw several police officers leaving the crowd and walking towards them.

The leader was obviously a catcher. He recognized Lao Li at a glance. The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, and then looked at Qiao Muchao casually, "Are you Miss An's wife?"

"Not bad, what's the matter?" Qiao Muyao looked confused.

"I heard that you sell illegal salt, is this true?" The man's yellow eyes stared at her.

Qiao Muyao was stunned and instantly understood what was going on, "That was a misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstanding? Either yes or no!" The head arrester didn't give her a chance to defend herself, "We've found the witnesses, and now I'll take you home to look for physical evidence."

Isn't it just a matter of mixing a liter of salt, how can it become a smuggled salt?

Qiao Muyao's eyes wandered around the crowd, and soon met Dongzhi's apologetic eyes.

Just as she was about to say something, the policeman suddenly took out a rope, twisted her hands and tied them behind her back, and pushed her forward cowardly.
