The next day, when the genius was shining brightly, Lily followed Nangong Yue's instructions to prepare a simple and low-key green carriage at the second gate, and also instructed the accompanying people to travel lightly.

Nangong Yue only brought three maids with her, Baihui Lily and Thrush.

When they arrived at the second gate, Zhu Xing, who was wearing simple blue cotton clothes, was already waiting beside the carriage with a horse, but what surprised Nangong Yue and the others was another person.

"Zhou Dacheng, why are you here?" Lily blurted out in surprise.

It turned out that the coachman who was sitting in front of the carriage wearing a simple grey coat and a bamboo hat turned out to be Zhou Dacheng.

"I've seen Concubine Shi." Zhou Dacheng held a horse whip, clasped his fists roughly to salute Nangong Yue, and then smiled boldly, "I've been suffocated these days, and I'll go out with you to let the wind out."

The so-called "letting wind" is aimed at prisoners who are in prison! Lily's face turned dark all of a sudden, and she said to herself, "You have to let yourself go, don't get involved with others!"

Of course, Nangong Yue had no objection to Zhou Dacheng's initiative to invite Ying, so a carriage and one of Zhu Xing's horses set off so lightly.

Liuhezhuang is on the outskirts of the capital, only a dozen miles away from the capital. The air in the outskirts is indeed much fresher, although it is late autumn, the autumn wind is rustling, many trees and shrubs have turned yellow, and the flowers have also withered. But Lily and Thrush were still looking at each other with great interest, and they whispered from time to time.

In less than an hour, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and only Zhu Xing's voice could be heard from outside: "Prince Prince, the Liuhezhuang is in front."

Anyway, I was going out in casual clothes, so Nangong Yue was not too cautious and said, "Stop, I want to get out of the car for a walk."

After the maids helped her get out of the carriage, the first thing she did was to warn Zhu Xing: "Next, you are not allowed to call me Concubine Prince."

Zhu Xing was stunned, but before he could react, Lily and Thrush already answered with a smile, "Yes, young lady!"

In fact, Nangong Yue's childish look, if it weren't for a woman's hair style, she would not look like a young lady, but more like a girl from a big family.

Zhu Xing also dismounted, followed Nangong Yue and the three maids walking slowly, while Zhou Dacheng followed behind in a carriage.

Nangong Yue looked at the surrounding environment while walking.

According to Zhu Xing, more than ten years ago, after the King of Laozhen Nan followed the late emperor to conquer the land, the former emperor rewarded a pile of gold and silver treasures, but the Nan Wang of Laozhen thought that the gold and silver treasures were dead, and there was no land property. If something was reliable, I bought some Zhuangzi property at random, thinking that it would be passed down from generation to generation.

It's just that the old town Nanwang went to the southern border soon, and this Zhuangzi has no one to care, that is, he sends some account books and filial piety to the southern border every year.

Although the old town Nanwang is casual, the Zhuangzi he bought is indeed in an excellent location, close to the mountains and rivers. In particular, there is a river next to this piece of fertile land, and it seems that the water is rippling.

Thrush was enthusiastically explaining how to divert river water to irrigate the fields when there was little rain, and how to dredge the stagnant water so as not to flood the fertile fields when there was a flood... Nangongyue listened ignorantly, but finally knew that for farmers, this The place couldn't be better.

The fields in autumn are full of harvest scenes. The endless rice fields are like gold spread all over the ground. When a gust of wind blows, a golden wave is set off. Some farmers who look like tenants are harvesting crops in the fields.

At first glance, this Zhuangzi was unexpectedly prosperous.

Nangong Yue looked at the farmer not far away and said, "Let's go ahead and borrow some water to drink."

When Nangong Yue traveled, the three of her maids, Baihui, naturally had enough water. Obviously, she just wanted to take the opportunity to talk to the tenants here.

Thrush took the initiative to ask Ying: "Shi... Young Madam, why don't the slaves go and find a way first?"

Nangong Yue nodded, and Thrush trotted off. Seeing that she was petite and thin, she ran quite fast. Lily suddenly said with emotion: "Actually, the roots and conditions of the thrush are also good, but it's a pity that she is a little older, otherwise I will teach her to learn martial arts."

Zhou Dacheng, who was driving the carriage, immediately teased from behind: "With your irritable personality, do you still have the nerve to be someone's master?"

Lily's hair exploded like a cat Xiaobai whose tail was stepped on. It is really unreasonable to be called frizzy by someone who is frizzier than herself.

"Speak as if you were a master!" Lily despised him with her eyes, saying that Zhou Dacheng was really speechless, and he really didn't take any apprentices.

I will accept an apprentice when I go back tomorrow! he thought to himself.

A few people walked all the way and talked, Nangong Yue heard a smile on her face, when they came to the small village next to Liuhezhuang, Thrush walked out of it in a hurry, and said without blushing and breathless: "World... Young lady, please come with your servant."

The carriage and groom Zhou Dacheng were left outside the village, and the rest entered the village.

Although it was daytime, the village was quiet. The men probably all went to work. At first glance, they only occasionally saw some old people and children.

Thrush, who was leading the way, whispered, "Young Madam, this village should not be rich." After a pause, she explained, "You see that the houses here are all outdated wooden houses. If this farmer had some spare money, he would have A big house with black bricks and black tiles has been built."

Thrush said that, Nangong Yue took a closer look and found that it was true. At first glance, there is only a big house with blue bricks and black tiles in the farthest place backed by the mountains. The other houses are wooden houses for decades. If you look closely, you will find that those wooden boards have appeared due to the corrosion of the years. Lots of holes and gaps.

Thrush led them into a family that was only two or three houses away from the village entrance. The owner of the house was an old woman in her seventies. Half of her teeth were lost, her mouth was shrunk, and her face was covered with chrysanthemum-like wrinkles. .

Although the house was shabby and cramped, it was fairly clean. In addition, there were no men in the house, so this old woman could speak in a well-organized manner, so Thrush chose this house.

The thrush should have been ordered beforehand. The old lady has prepared water for them and a plate of jujubes. The red fresh jujubes are full and full, and they look like little red lanterns. The appearance of the drops shows that it has just been picked from the jujube tree outside.

After Nangong Yue sat down, she said apologetically, "Old lady, I'm bothering you."

"Don't disturb, don't disturb." The old woman said flatteringly and cautiously. She had never seen a girl as white as Nangong Yue, who looked like the jade girl in the Guanyin painting. "A noble person like Madam came to the old lady's house to rest, and the old lady's broken house also glowed like..."

Lily burst out laughing and said, "It's Peng Dishenghui."

"That's right, Peng Dishenghui." The old lady nodded again and again without caring.

After eating a jujube, Nangong Yue praised: "Old lady, your jujube is really sweet and crisp."

"This jujube is grown by the old lady herself. If the lady likes it, the old lady will pick some for you."

"No need." Nangong Yue said with a smile, "Old lady, sit down and let's talk."

The old lady had already benefited from Thrush just now. She knew that Nangong Yue was a noble person. If she served her well, she would definitely be rewarded with money, so she sat down with a smile on her face.

Nangong Yue chatted with her seemingly casually: "Old lady, I just saw how good your crops are growing outside. It seems that this year is another good harvest year for you. Congratulations."

"There's nothing to congratulate." The old woman curled her lips and didn't care, "It's not hers anyway..." She hesitated.

Thrush and Nangong Yue glanced at each other and felt that there was a scene in it, so Thrush said deliberately, "Even if you rent the main house's land and pay the rent, the harvest will be yours after all, and it's not bad."

Nangong Yue followed up and said: "It's not like my village in Huaibei, because this Huaibei was flooded, and the entire year's harvest was lost. Hey, I, the master of the family, can't force the tenants to death, so I have to avoid it. Their rent for a year."

The old lady sighed and sighed: "We farmers, that is, we have to eat for the sky, and the tenants who are lucky to meet a kind-hearted master like Madam, not like us..." She said halfway, and then again However, hearing this Lily and Thrush is really itchy.

The old lady looked at the door of the courtyard and was sure that there were no outsiders, so she lowered her voice and said, "Madam, the old lady will also complain to you a few words. Our master's house is more cruel than blood leeches."

Blood leeches? Zhu Xing and Baihui frowned slightly, thinking that the old lady's words were too ugly.

Nangong Yue didn't take it seriously and asked, "How do you say it?"

"This rent is going up every year!" The old woman said it with hatred and gritted her teeth, "This year it has risen to fifty percent! No matter how good the harvest is, what's the use of it? It's not to hand it over to the master, let us all drink the Northwest Feng. These days, I don't dare to get sick. Once I get sick, I will not be able to live. A few days ago, the old woman next door sold her eldest daughter..." The old woman said with sigh, as the saying goes: Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. This neighbor's life is like this, which makes people feel sad!

Baihui, Lily and Thrush widened their eyes in disbelief as soon as they heard that there were 50% of the rent. Usually, the 30% of the rent was already the peak, not to mention the Liuhezhuang. The account book sent showed that the rent was only 20%, and the rent had not increased in fifteen years since the old town Nan Wang bought Zhuangzi. Where did the rest of the difference go? As you can imagine! This Zhuangzi's steward is simply daring.

Thrush thought for a while, and then deliberately said in an exaggerated tone: "Five percent? This is too black, right? Old lady, could it be that the manager is deceiving you?" She looked at Nangong Yue and said, "Before our wife A Zhuangzi in the south of the Yangtze River had a daring butler who just wrote mulberry silk as tussah silk to report the account, but fortunately last year, our chief steward went to Jiangnan to check the accounts, and we were caught."

"My wife is also an old tenant of this village. In the past two years, when the rent just rose to 40%, we also guessed that the steward was deceiving the top and the bottom, and we were thinking of going to the owner to make a defense... Who knows last year, The main family sent a group of veterans..." The old woman sighed and seemed to hesitate again.

Lily saw it and said, "Old woman, you still have soldiers here. It seems that your main family must be a big family."

"That's really a big family." The old woman glanced outside cautiously again, and said in a low voice, "Our old master's house is the deceased Old Town South King, and now that the old master is gone, it is said that the This was passed on to the current Prince of Zhennan. After that, the rent here has risen even more fiercely. That prince even sent a crippled veteran last year to support them, but it turned out... ...It's just as good as a pig and a dog! Compared to them, we are better."

This old woman's words were really shocking, and Zhu Xing almost jumped when he heard it. I don't know if I should say that this old lady is bad for the prince's reputation, or I should scold that manager for being lawless.

The old woman was afraid that they would not believe it, and added: "The old woman is not talking nonsense. This village knows that those old soldiers were assigned to reclaim wasteland in the Houshan area. They can only rest for two hours a day, and both meals a day are mixed with chaff. Brown rice is like pig food. This person is iron rice and steel. If this goes on, how can a person support it? A few days ago, a veteran who was missing a leg could not support his illness. I went to ask the steward to ask for a doctor, but not only did he not invite the doctor, but he also beat his god son severely, and now the young man with no arms is still in a coma. . . . !"

The old woman shook her head and sighed, only muttering in her mouth: "Sorry."

Nangong Yue's face was sinking like water, although she knew that there was something wrong with this Zhuangzi, she did not expect that what this steward did was beyond her expectations. Zhennan Wangfu is far away in the southern border, this Zhuangzi has been in charge of the affairs for fifteen years, so that the more he keeps his courage, the more he has the style of a local emperor.

But the top priority is not to find the steward to settle accounts, but...

Nangong Yue settled down and asked, "Old woman, do you know where the sick veteran is now?"

The old woman looked suspiciously at Nangong Yue, guessing what her purpose was.

Seeing this, Nangong Yue pointed at Baihui and explained, "Old woman, this maid of mine knows some medical skills. It's rare for me to pass by this place, so I think it's a fate. I just thought of letting her show the sick veteran a little bit of virtue. ."

At that time, many people believed in Buddhism. The old woman put her palms together and recited the Buddha. She praised Nangongyue as a bodhisattva, and then told her where the veteran lived.

Nangong Yue ordered Thrush to reward the old lady again, and then left.

The old lady kept sending Nangong Yue and others to the door, and then watched them go deep into the village. She was about to return home when a familiar figure suddenly flashed out of the corner of her eyes. Could it be that...

She vaguely guessed something and wanted to chase Nangong Yue and the others, but she was afraid of causing trouble, so she finally hid back at her own house.

At the same time, Baihui and Zhu Xing exchanged glances, and then whispered in Nangong Yue's ear: "Prince Concubine, someone is following us."

"Let him follow." Nangong Yue said indifferently, and continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.

Soon they were following the dry dirt road to the end of the village.

Thrush pointed to a dilapidated house in front of him and said, "Young Madam, this should be the old soldier's home."

Looking at the dilapidated house in front of them, everyone's eyebrows are locked. Where is this house, it's basically a pig shed. This house is probably bigger than the penthouse in their mansion. It is surrounded by wooden boards that are almost rotten, and there are huge gaps between the wooden boards. I am afraid that even the cold wind of winter cannot be blocked.

"Let's go in and have a look." Nangong Yue frowned, her face already very ugly.

Baihui and the others rarely saw Nangongyue like this, and they were all concentrating and solemn.

Thrush walked at the front, and while pushing open the crumbling wooden door, he raised his voice: "Is there anyone?"

As soon as the door was opened, a burst of foul air came in, as if the smell of pig manure accumulated over the years had penetrated every inch of the house.

Thrush couldn't help covering his nose, thinking: Where is this place where people live! This pipe is really hateful!

The room was dimly lit, not even a single window, only the sunlight coming in through the door slightly illuminated it. At a glance, they could see that on the wooden board so simple that they didn't know whether it was a door or a wooden bed, lay a young man with his eyes closed. There were a lot of cloth strips, with blood oozing faintly under the cloth strips, which was shocking to see.

On the side of the wooden bed, there was an old man with gray hair. His face was lying on the wooden bed and he could not see clearly, but at a glance, he could see a piece of wood on his right leg, which was obviously used as a prosthesis.

Nangong Yue and others had long known that the young man had been in a coma for a long time, but their push on the door did not wake the old man up, which made them feel that the situation was not good.

Nangong Yue's face sank, and she ordered Baihui to look at the young man, while she went to look at the old man, and her tentacles found that the other's forehead was hot.

not good!

Nangong Yue was about to instruct Lily to help her support the old man, but before she could say anything, someone grabbed her left wrist. She looked up, only to find that the unconscious young man opened his eyes at some point and sat up abruptly. His face was bruised and pale, but his eyes were still as bright as lightning, as if he was about to pierce someone. As if, his right arm was tightly shackled by Nangong Yue's left wrist.

"Let go of the world... young lady!" Lily was furious, and under her nose, Concubine Shizi was actually attacked. This is simply a great disgrace to her!

Baihui hurriedly said, "We are here to help you, let's go..."

She didn't have a chance to finish her words, and Lily had already slashed his palm on the back of his neck. For a moment, the other party showed a wolf-like look and stared at Lily, as if he wanted to tear her apart, but he couldn't reach his body. With a heavy blow on the top, he closed his eyes and fell down. Since he lost consciousness, he naturally released Nangong Yue's wrist.

In the end, Lily wasn't too ruthless, so she gave him a hand and didn't let him fall on the wooden bed.

"lily……"

Baihui glared at her, but Lily said confidently: "If you have to explain the year of the monkey to a wolf who doesn't trust people, why don't we cure them and prove everything with actions?" Looking for revenge on the savior?

What she said was clearly false, but there was still some truth to it. The young man's eyes were indeed wolf-like, not only fierce, but also full of extreme emotions of distrust.

Lily did it and did it, and reprimanding her would not help.

Nangong Yue hurriedly said, "Let's help this uncle to another bed first."

As soon as she gave an order, Zhu Xing hugged the disabled old man horizontally, and Thrush took out a blue cotton cloth from the bag and spread it on the dirty-looking bed.

This cotton cloth was carried by the thrush, in case Nangong Yue was tired from walking, she could rest on the floor.

After Zhu Xing settled the old man, Nangong Yue probed for his pulse.

"Prince Prince, how is his condition?" Zhu Xing asked worriedly. For these veterans, the most affectionate people are probably him and Zhou Dacheng. After all, they are all people who have been with the old town Nanwang.

Nangong Yue said in a deep voice, "He has become ill from overwork, resulting in a persistent high fever and a coma. First of all, we must help him to get rid of the fever, and then take care of his body later." She thought about it and instructed Zhu Xing, "Zhu Xing, I have some medicines in the rightmost drawer in my carriage, as well as some medicinal wine and clean cotton cloths. You can fetch them all."

Zhu Xing hesitated for a moment, thinking that Baihui and Lily are both here, so there should be no serious problem, so he took the order.

Nangong Yue first instructed Thrush to wet a white towel and apply cold compress to the old man's forehead. Then, she took out her silver needle bag and attached needles to his Yinqi, Fuliu, Sanyinjiao, Yongquan and other acupoints to relieve his fever.

Followed her to look at the young man again: "Baihui, how is his condition?"

Baihui removed the cloth strips from the young man one by one, and while instructing Lily to clean the wound, she frowned and said, "Young Madam, his right leg is broken." She paused and said with some concern, "Just Leave it to the slaves to deal with it."

Nangong Yue did not agree immediately, but asked the school first, "Baihui, how should I deal with a fracture?"

Baihui replied without hesitation, "Clean up the wound and support the bones, then fix it with the wooden board."

Nangong Yue nodded with satisfaction, it was accepted.

So, Baihui came to deal with it, Lily assisted, and she just supervised.

Baihui first pulled a piece of cotton cloth into strips, and used the strips to fasten the wooden board clipped on the young man's leg. At the same time, Lily also treated other wounds on his body. Lily is a warrior, so Carrying the golden sore medicine made by Lin Jingchen with him, he painted his face with a patch of yellow and green.

At this time, a vague moan came from the side, and Thrush hurriedly exclaimed: "Uncle, are you awake? Do you feel okay?"

The old man slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes seemed a little cloudy, unable to focus.

Nangong Yue went back to his bed again, leaned over and said softly, "Can you hear my voice?"

The other party nodded with difficulty.

Nangong Yue continued: "I just gave you a needle, don't move, I'll close the needle for you first." As she spoke, she skillfully took out all the silver needles.

"Alan! Alan..." The old man said eagerly, wanting to get up.

Nangong Yue motioned Thrush to lift him up and comforted him: "Don't worry, Young Master Alan is fine, my maid is already treating him."

The old man turned around and saw that Baihui was helping Alan bandage. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Madam for helping. This time, if it wasn't for Madam, our father and son would be afraid..." In case of Lan, I will never be able to forgive myself, if it wasn't for me, Alan would not have come to the capital..." Having said this, he choked a little.

"Everything will be fine." Nangong Yue softly soothed his emotions.

The old man took a deep breath and tried to stabilize his emotions, but soon he thought of something and said, "Madam, you should leave here quickly. If this person finds out and tells the manager, I'm afraid he is looking for trouble for you."

Nangong Yue was half-smiling, she couldn't wait for this manager to make trouble.

Thrush said from the side: "Uncle, it's alright, our young lady is not afraid of that."

The old man frowned and said bitterly: "Madam, you don't know who the owner of this village is, this cow is not terrible, what is terrible is the person behind him, if you continue to stay here, I'm afraid there will be someone at that time. Disrespectful to you."

Thrush straightened his chest, and said with a nonchalant smile: "Why don't we know, isn't the master of this village the Prince of Zhennan?"

The old man was stunned, looked at Thrush, and then looked at Nangong Yue, although she was not dressed very luxuriously, but regardless of her appearance and bearing, she did not look like an ordinary wealthy family... Could it be that they are meeting a noble person? ? Is this a noble person who can help them decide?

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, it's the vicious and vicious Prince of Zhennan, Xiao Yi!" !

Thrush frowned slightly, just as he was about to say something, Nangong Yue stopped him with a look.

"Uncle, can you tell me what's going on?" Nangong Yue asked.

The old man's eyes sank, he hesitated for a while, but he also felt that he had nothing to worry about, and said simply: "My name is Chu David, I was originally a soldier of the deceased Lao Zhennan King, more than ten years ago. , I lost my right calf in a battle and have since retired. The old prince took great care of us old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers when he was alive. There is nothing left for the pension, and everyone's life is very hard."

"Last year, when the eldest son sent people to pick us up in the southern border, everyone was very happy. They felt that the eldest son had the style of the old town's southern king, and he was willing to take care of us rubbish. It meets the requirements of the prince, but he was reluctant to let me come to the capital alone, so he followed, intending to find a job near the capital to support himself... But none of us thought that the prince was a wolf-hearted person. If you want a good reputation, but you don’t want to support us crippled, you simply treat us veterans who have no relatives and no reason as free labor and work hard for him!”

The old man was so angry that his face was blue, and his forehead was even more bulging. He looked at A Lan who was unconscious, and continued: "Originally, I have an old life, and if I lose it, it will be gone. If I believe in the wrong person, anyway, the old town King Nan saved my life back then, and I should pay him back, but..." He took a deep breath and said angrily, "Alan is innocent!" His hands clenched into fists and trembled slightly. .

At this time, Baihui and Lily finally tossed the injured A Lan.

Lily looked at the empty medicine bottle, and muttered angrily: "It's really cheap for you." When she returns to the house, she must ask the imperial concubine to pay her two bottles.

She was about to put away the empty bottle, but she didn't want to grab her with one hand. The speed was too fast, and she was so distracted that she was actually caught by the other party.

How could this guy wake up so soon? Is your strength so small?

Just as Lily was thinking, she felt the piercing pain coming from her wrist. She almost suspected that this guy had used all his strength.

"Hey! Is this how you treat your savior?" Lily stared at him angrily. The hateful guy made her lose face twice a day.

The old man hurriedly said: "Alan, let go of this girl. They are here to help us..."

Alan hesitated for a moment and wanted to say that they were the ones who knocked him out just now, but after seeing the old man who was much better, he finally let go of Lily's hand.

Lily rubbed her wrist, feeling bruised all over her wrist, she secretly swore that she would be incompatible with this nasty guy!

At this moment, there was a messy footstep sound from the far outside the house, as well as the voice of a conversation:

"It's over there!"

"Go! Go and have a look!"

Lily's eyes suddenly lit up, and she moved her knuckles, thinking: It's finally here! If she finds this Alan to settle accounts now, she will be said to be bullying the injured. Don't blame her for being rude when this cow came to the door by herself. Today, she has to give a good lesson to these guys who ruined the reputation of the prince!

"Boom!"

Someone kicked the crumbling wooden door heavily, followed by a squat man in a brocade robe and swaggered in with four tall men.
