The blood around the wound was finally wiped away.

Shao Jingheng cleaned the handkerchief and prepared to wipe the blood from her wound.

Because it was the first time to treat a girl's wound, Donor Shao was very cautious when he stretched out his hand.

This made the nun's heart beat.

Is it possible for Donor Shao to do it?

Seeing that Donor Shao's hand holding the veil was about to touch his wound, the nun suddenly stopped him.

"Thank you, Donor Shao, I'll do it myself."

I always feel that Donor Shao is not very reliable.

Shao Jingheng raised his eyes to look at her...

Hua Xiaonian's tone of voice sounded very relaxed, as if it was exactly what she usually said, "She is very powerful."

But actually.

Her palms were already covered in cold sweat, and beads of sweat continued to appear on her slightly baby face.

Shao Jingheng saw all this in his eyes.

Of course he would not let her face it alone. He lowered his eyes slightly and insisted, "I will be careful and try not to hurt you."

This was half believed by the nun.

But I heard it in the ears of the waiter who happened to come in to deliver food...

He is an adult.

What does it mean when a man says something like this to a woman in an inn?

The waiter felt like he had discovered something.

But when he looked at Chu Zhaoci who was sitting quietly in the outer hall, seeming to be thinking about something, he suddenly felt...

This young man looks so bright.

He quickly put down his food and was about to go out, but he didn't want to light up the scene with Chu Zhaoci!

Chu Zhaoci called out to him in time, "Wait a minute."

If you want to know what went wrong with Xie Qingbai, starting with the waiter is a good starting point.

He asked, "What's going on in our town?"

"Why are the inns and teahouses in the city closed during the day, and why are there no vendors on the roadside anymore?"

In order to prevent the waiter from getting suspicious, he also made jokes intentionally or unintentionally.

"We were thinking of finally escaping to your town and settling down here, but we saw it was so desolate..."

"Could it be that you also encountered a natural disaster?"

The waiter heard that he was on the run and saw that he looked sincere and didn't look like he was lying, so he said.

"I advise you objectively to stay here for one night and leave as soon as possible tomorrow!"

When Chu Zhaoci heard what he said, he knew he could pull something out, so he quickly asked, "What do you mean by that? Could it be that there is a plague among you?"

He said this on purpose.

Plague often appears among refugees fleeing from famine. After hearing the waiter's words, he instinctively thought that things related to fleeing from famine could better reflect his identity as a refugee.

The waiter really believed it!

He sighed heavily, "Hey!"

After looking around and seeing no one outside, he said, "You don't know something. We are afraid that things will change in Heshui County soon!"

Chu Zhaoci asked, "What does this mean?"

The waiter slowly told him...

It turns out that the soldiers have always been spying on the county government. When Xie Qingbai and Shao Jingheng went to rescue Hua Xiaonian, the soldiers raided the county government.

They quickly seized the county government office.

When Xie Qingbai came back, they had already set up a dragnet in advance and successfully captured Xie Qingbai and others.

If they had just arrested Xie Qingbai, the people in Heshui County might not have known about it.

They actually imprisoned all the county government soldiers and Xie Qingbai, and asked their soldiers to change into county government uniforms and march on the streets.

I heard that they were trying to arrest people.

But when you arrest people, you arrest them honestly. How dare you molest good women in the county government, and even rape civilian girls...

What does this mean?

Are you afraid that the people in the county don't know you exist?

This wave of operations has really frightened the people. I want to ask, do you still dare to set up a stall on the street or open for business?

If they dare to rob civilian girls now, will they have to burn, kill, and loot later?

Everyone cherishes their lives, so go back quickly.

The so-called winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

Although most of these words are about emperors.

But in a small and remote county like Heshui County, isn't the county magistrate like an emperor in the hearts of the people?

All the officers and soldiers of the county government were replaced, and the posture looked like they had been forcibly occupied.

The situation is so obvious, who still can’t understand it?

A typical change of dynasty!

Wouldn’t that be a change of scenery?!

Chu Zhaoci understood what he heard. He thought for a moment and then asked the waiter, "Do you know who those people are?"

Although the waiter's status is humble, he works in the inn and often meets all kinds of people and hears a lot about them.

You shouldn't be able to get the specific answer Chu Zhaoci wanted from his mouth, but you might also be able to get some useful information.

The waiter seemed to have been opened to gossip, and he moved closer to Chu Zhaoci and whispered.

"I heard that this is someone sent from Kyoto."

Chu Zhaoci seemed puzzled, "Since he is from the Kyoto faction, he should be a good official. Why is this so?"

The waiter said, "Although they are said to be from Kyoto, they are not necessarily from the official family. I heard that they seem to have some connections there..."

Chu Zhaoci didn't understand what he meant by "over there", so he asked him.

The waiter thought that he was a foreigner, so he explained to him, "Do you know which country is closest to us?"

Chu Zhaoci narrowed his eyes, as if he had just thought of it.

But he didn't say anything, so the waiter continued, "Yes, that's the place. I heard these are people from there."

"Besides, I also heard that our Tianqi Kingdom seems to be unified with that country, and Heshui County will be under the control of that country in the future!"

Of course, these last words are just spreading rumors!

The waiter in the shop said it so confidently that it seemed to be true.

Chu Zhaoci asked, "Who said this?"

Waiter: "Everyone says so!"

The county seat was only raided today, but there were rumors a few days ago that the two countries were about to merge.

Plus today's wave...

The rumors spread by everyone are getting stronger and stronger.

In fact, some of the things said are not facts at all, but are just random conjectures and rumors spread by everyone.

Of course Chu Zhaoci didn't believe what he said.

But there is no need to ask further, because if you continue to ask, they will all be useless rumors.

But there is one thing...

He had previously suspected that those soldiers were related to the one in Kyoto, but now he was more certain.

After all, if you say that what the waiters and others said are rumors, where did the rumors come from?

There must be a root cause!

Also, this is not about merger and reunification, it is clear that someone is trying to usurp the throne!

Thinking of this, Chu Zhaoci suddenly remembered the account book he obtained from the secret room. He wanted to see the contents of the account book, so he asked the waiter to go out.

When he entered the inn, he took off the gloves that Hua Xiaonian gave him and was about to put them on again, but suddenly found...

Gloves missing?

He was a little anxious and was about to look for it when he saw Hua Xiaonian walking out of the house and said, "I lost my gloves, Benefactor Chu."

Chu Zhaoci...

Isn't Hua Xiaonian afraid that it's roundworms in his stomach?

She actually knew what he was thinking.

etc.

He remembered clearly that he stuffed his gloves into the cloth pocket of his coat, and how did Hua Xiaonian throw them away for him?

Reminiscent of the Huozhezi that she had stuffed back into the bag for no apparent reason...

After Chu Zhao resigned, he realized...
Chapter completed!
