I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 210: Losing Money (asking for monthly ticket)

After getting the clues, Sang Que and Xia Chan went to track down the whereabouts of Cheng Ge and his two brothers, while He Buning and Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu had to stay in the Evil Suppression Division to see how many more people were poisoned.

For those who are slightly poisoned by the Gu, drinking the soup made of realgar, garlic and calamus can help expel the poison.

If the poisoning has lasted for a long time, the corresponding method of expulsion should be used according to the type of poison. During this process, if there is no intervention from the person who poisoned the person, the probability of successful expulsion is very high.

Once the poisoned person activates the poisonous worm during the process of exorcism, he will surely die.

He Bu Ning's Yin Fire can restrain the poisonous insects. In addition, such a big thing has happened in the Evil Suppression Bureau, so he must stay and take charge in order to calm people's hearts.

In his opinion, it didn't matter even if the ghost eye was really lost. What mattered was that the person was alive. It was not easy for the Evil Suppression Bureau to train these people.

Sang Que was taking Xia Chan and Xuan Yu to look for Cheng Ge and his brothers when He Buning stopped Sang Que and handed her a cigarette from the Zhen Xie Division.

"Once you find the person and determine his location, find a way to inform me. You know Chi San's situation well. Gu Masters are not that easy to deal with. It's best to wait until I arrive before taking action."

Sang Que agreed first. Gu technique is also a kind of witchcraft. Yu Da had told her about it before, but her target is the ghost eye, so she will definitely try it first and then consider whether to call He Buning.

Afterwards, He Buning called Xia Chan aside, took out the flintlock rifle that he never took off even when sleeping from his waist, and handed it to Xia Chan.

He knew that Xia Chan would definitely follow Sang Que into danger, and he couldn't stop her.

Just like Sang Que said, Xia Chan is very smart, and he should respect her and cultivate her instead of locking her up.

He Buning explained to Xia Chan how to use the flintlock rifle, and Xia Chan quickly mastered the correct gun-holding posture. He was indeed very smart.

Loading a flintlock rifle takes a lot of time, and there is no way to teach Xia Chan so much now.

"After your sister is sure that the man is the Gu Master, she must shoot him in the head when he is not paying attention. You only have one chance, understand?"

Xia Chan held the flintlock in both hands and nodded vigorously, "Brother Buning, don't worry, Xiao Chan will protect her sister."

He Buning sighed and said, "Okay, as long as the mulberry bird is safe, he will definitely protect the summer cicada's safety. He is being selfish."

"Go."

After Xia Chan's hair fell off her head, she could sense it as long as it was within a ten-mile radius. At the moment, Xia Chan had no sense of it.

Before Sang Que took Xia Chan to the stable to find the donkey cart, she suddenly remembered the side effect of her and Xia Chan losing money, so she hurried back and called Xiao Liu aside, and asked Xia Chan and Xiao Liu to sign a contract to donate all their property free of charge.

All her things have already belonged to Xia Chan, including clothes, shoes and socks. Now let Xia Chan give them to Xiao Liu, which should avoid subsequent losses.

Xiaoliu didn't understand, and Sangque just said that he didn't have time to explain, and forced Xiachan and Xiaoliu to sign.

Afterwards, Sang Que took Xia Chan and Xuan Yu to drive the donkey cart, and let the black donkey go first towards the west gate to Yunzhou.

As soon as she got in the car, Xia Chan took out the flintlock rifle that He Buning asked her to hide and showed it to Sang Que. Sang Que took it and looked at it. It was indeed an antique. The gun was well maintained and He Buning took good care of it.

If she has the chance in the future, she will go abroad and try to get herself a firearm.

"He gave it to you, so keep it well. I believe you can use this gun well."

"Ok!"

Xia Chan curled up her hair, wrapped the flintlock layer by layer, and hid it directly in her hair at the back so that no one could take it away.

Sang Que thought, the flintlock was He Bu Ning's thing, it would definitely not be lost for no reason due to the side effects of the dice.

She found the small box where they kept their money from the secret compartment under the carriage. Xia Chan's hair was still wrapped around the box, with no signs of damage.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Xia Chan was alert and snatched the box. "Sister, if you want money, just tell Xiao Chan. You can't steal it~"

Sang Que didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Xiao Chan, why don't you open the box and see how much money we have left."

Xia Chan nodded, put her hand on the box, and the hair tangled in it untied by itself. Xia Chan opened the lid of the box and was stunned.

Snapped!
Xia Chan closed the box again, rubbed his eyes, and opened it again. After the air was stagnant for two seconds, Xia Chan burst into tears.

"Sister, where did our money disappear? Xiaochan lost the money--" Sangque took the box, and the silver bills, silver ingots and broken silver inside had all disappeared, only the copper coins she had strung with red thread were still there.

She asked Xia Chan to give her one copper coin at a time when she planned to use the dice, so that she could use the dice at the lowest cost.

At this moment, the string of copper coins lay quietly in the box, and Sang Que felt the mockery from the dice.

There were nearly six hundred taels and now only... seven copper coins are left. She still has to spend money for six days, and Xiao Chan has to spend money for four days. How cruel!

Sang Que threw the box aside and said, "Okay, Xiao Chan, stop crying. We will just ask Chi San to compensate us. If he doesn't, we will beat him until he pays."

Xia Chan pouted and nodded, sniffing the aroma of the freshly cooked broth outside, "Sister, Xiao Chan is hungry."

Sang Que's mouth twitched, "Xiao Chan, we don't have any money."

They only had seven copper coins, and prices were high at the border. A bowl of meat soup cost ten cents, so they couldn't afford it.

"Little Chan has gold!"

Xia Chan remembered the gold locket that He Buning bought for her, and immediately opened her clothes to look around her neck for it, but found nothing. Xia Chan was stunned and pulled up her sleeves. The blood-stained jade bracelet that Sang Que gave her was still on her right hand, but the gold bracelet bought by He Buning on her left hand was gone.

Xia Chan touched her head again, and found that the golden hairpin on her head had disappeared without a trace!
"Wow--"

Xia Chan cried even louder. She was originally carefree, but when she smelled the tempting aroma of the broth outside, she also felt the pain of being penniless.

While crying, Xia Chan suddenly stopped crying and turned to look in one direction. The ends of her hair curled up and were attracted to stretch in that direction.

"hair!"

This direction is not the direction of exit. Is Chengge still in the city? Didn't he escape back to Yunzhou?
Sang Que believed Xia Chan, and immediately got out of the carriage, grabbed the reins, and let the black donkey go in the direction Xia Chan pointed.

Soon, they arrived at the place where the civilians of Tianliang City lived. There were low and dilapidated brick courtyards all around, as well as many shacks supported by simple wooden sticks and cloth, some of which had been collapsed by the snow.

No one was clearing the snow here, and everything was white. Many ragged people were sitting around a fire, warming themselves, and when they saw the donkey cart, they looked over curiously.

A group of dirty children suddenly ran out of the alley, following the donkey cart, holding up broken bowls, their eyes full of pleading and expectation.

"Miss, please be kind and give me something to eat."

"Please, give me something to eat."

There were some frozen dry biscuits in the donkey cart. Sangque asked Xiachan to help find them and distribute them to the children.

They took the bread, put it in their arms and ran away.

The alley was narrow and the donkey cart couldn't fit in. Sang Que packed his things and wanted to go in by himself, leaving Xia Chan and Xuan Yu to watch the cart. Xia Chan shook his head and Xuan Yu meowed, insisting on following.

Sangque had no choice but to let the black donkey go back first. The population here was dense and it was not safe to leave the donkey cart here.

The black donkey had sensed the danger a long time ago. When Sang Que asked it to go, it did not hesitate at all and pulled the cart and galloped back to the stable of the Xie Zhen Division.

Following the guidance of Xia Chan, Sang Que walked to the deepest part of the alley. There was no peach charms pasted on the gate in front of him according to the custom of the people of Xuan Dynasty. The snow on the courtyard wall had been cleared, and winter plums were planted at the base of the wall at the entrance, with some stones pressed under the tree.

Xia Chan was about to go forward holding Xuan Yu, but was pulled back by Sang Que. She pointed with her chin at the stones under the winter plum tree at the door. The tips of dry thatch were visible from under some of the stones, mixed in with the unmelted snow, making them difficult to spot.

"That's a stone Gu. If we walk over there like this, the stones will fly into our stomachs or into our limbs, making our bodies heavy and unable to move. If we don't remove the Gu, we won't be able to eat or excrete, and we'll eventually starve to death or suffocate to death."

From the yard came the sound of erhu and Hulusi practice.

"I'll go in through the front door. Xuanyu, take Xiaochan and go around to the back from here. Be careful."

meow~
Xuanyu jumped down from Xiachan's arms. The ground was too icy, so he raised a paw and shook his head at Xiachan, as if he was following him. Xiachan squeezed Sangque's hand and followed Xuanyu away.

Sangque quietly released the evil fog that sealed off the entire yard, and then appeared in the yard in a flash.

Chengge, dressed in white, was sitting in the corridor playing the erhu, Xingzhu was standing next to him playing the Hulusi. The winter plum blossoms were in full bloom, drifting with the snow, forming a beautiful picture.

The music stopped, and Chengge didn't show much surprise at Sang Que's sudden appearance. He asked with a smile, "Miss Sang, we meet again so soon."
