Chapter 20 It turns out to be the husband

After listening to the scholar's story, Shen Yuexi always felt a little strange.

If the notice is posted at midnight, it is extremely urgent. What is the background of this bandit?

There were several layers of people in front of her, and she couldn't see the notice at all, which made her feel vaguely uneasy. She thanked the scholar and continued to push her way forward.

She endured the smell of sweat in the crowd, moved left and right, and finally came to the notice. Just as she lifted the fence, before she could raise her head, someone suddenly bumped into her from behind, causing her to stumble and almost fall.

Fortunately, there was a woman standing next to her, who reached out to support her in time, thus preventing her from falling to the ground.

"Young girl is rushing over here in such a hurry." Seeing Shen Yuexi's hurried look, the woman winked at her knowingly, "You also want to see the man on the notice, right?"

She thought that Shen Yuexi was also attracted by the person in the painting, so she rushed to the front in such a hurry.

Look at the young ladies looking at the portraits in front of you, none of them look shy.

Shen Yuexi didn't bother to reply to her words. After thanking her, she hurriedly looked at the notice.

The sight almost made her eyes pop out.

The man on the notice is as clear as the moon and extremely handsome.

This...isn't this Xiao Zhuo?

No wonder these people are talking about his appearance, but few pay attention to the crimes he committed.

After just one night, Xiao Zhuo's portrait was posted in such a remote place.

Only now did she fully understand how terrifying it was to be chased by the emperor. No matter where she fled, the pursuit would follow her. No wonder Xiao Zhuo decided to flee to the bitter cold land of the northwest frontier from the beginning. If he stayed in the pass, sooner or later he would be To be caught and killed.

"This bandit looks handsome," the woman smiled and patted her. "Just take a look. This is a big thief wanted by the court. Sooner or later he will be caught and beheaded. Did you see what is written above? Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."

After saying this, she slapped her lips on her head and said, "Bailiang, if she can encounter such a good thing, their family will not have to worry about food and clothing."

She looked at the young lady beside her and shook her head. She was attracted by the appearance of this bandit again.

However, Shen Yuexi's heart was beating fast. Feng Zhang was the only one who had seen Xiao Zhuo.

She turned her attention to Feng Zhang, who was enjoying the shade under the shade of a tree.

Although Xiao Zhuo saved him, if he is tempted by the silver reward...

She did not dare to think any more and hurriedly withdrew from the crowd and walked quickly back to the mule cart. When Feng Zhang saw her coming, he hurriedly waved and shouted: "Ms. Pei, hurry up, it's our turn."

Shen Yuexi looked at Feng Zhang now, and she couldn't hide the vigilance in her eyes. Fortunately, she had a power fence on her head, so outsiders couldn't see the sudden loss of composure on her face.

"Brother Feng, let's go into the city." Trying to suppress the uneasiness in her heart, Shen Yuexi got on the car and urged.

She lowered her eyelids, clasped her hands, and stared at Feng Zhang's every move.

The officers and soldiers guarding the door checked them once and quickly let them pass.

Only then did she feel lucky that her portrait did not appear on the wanted notice.

After entering the city, Feng Zhang asked as he drove forward:

"Ms. Pei, are the government going to start arresting bandits? But it seems that the county magistrate said that this bandit is not from here."

Shen Yuexi stared at him for a moment, confirming that he didn't know about the wanted notice posted on the wall, and then her heart relaxed a little.

However, I don't know what his attitude will be once he finds out that the person in the portrait is Xiao Zhuo.

Will he secretly report it to the official without telling her?

Human nature is the least able to withstand the test, especially under pressure.

She didn't dare to gamble.

"It seems so," she said nonchalantly as she pulled up her sleeves nonchalantly, "I couldn't squeeze in behind the crowd and didn't see clearly. I thought my husband still had injuries to treat, so I came out first. ."

Although Xiao Zhuo's wanted notice was posted, Doctor You said that his arrow wound must be treated by a doctor, otherwise his life would be in danger.

Even if you risk yourself, you still need to hire a doctor to treat you.

After hearing this, Feng Zhang nodded in agreement. He raised his hand and whipped the mule pulling the cart. He said in a relaxed tone: "It has nothing to do with us anyway. Mr. Pei's injury cannot be delayed."

While they were talking, they arrived at the market. Shen Yuexi and Feng Zhang first set up a stall and sold tiger skins.

Two tiger skins, one big and one small. The big tiger skin was sold for forty-seven taels, and the small tiger skin was sold for twenty-seven taels, for a total of sixty-seven taels of silver.

Shen Yuexi thought the sale was low at first, but the buyer said that the tiger skin had been poked in several places, leaking air everywhere, and was in bad condition. Whether it was a cloak or a robe, it needed to be mended, not to mention the head was missing, otherwise If she could offer a higher price, she had no choice but to give up.

Feng Zhang handed her all the money and said, "Ms. Pei, they are all here."

Shen Yuexi counted it and gave twenty-seven taels to Feng Zhang. As agreed before, the little tiger skin belonged to Feng Zhang. On this basis, she also gave the change to Feng Zhang.

Feng Zhang refused: "Ms. Pei, I gave you too much. Your husband killed the tiger, and you saved my life. What did you do with so much money?"

After several shirks, Shen Yuexi didn't force herself. During this period, she and Xiao Zhuo would still live in Feng's house, so she could subsidize them more.

Give him the twenty taels of silver from the sale of the tiger skin, and don't allow him to refuse again.

The two left the market, with Shen Yuexi walking in front and Feng Zhang pulling the cart behind.

Passing by the Baohe Hall last night, Shen Yuexi glanced at the end of the alley. There were quite a few people queuing up for medical treatment. She had forty-seven taels of silver in her hand, enough to pay for the medical treatment. But when she thought of that doctor With a arrogant face, she did not go in, but walked back to the street and chose another restaurant.

This pharmacy is on the main street, facing south and facing north. Its geographical location is much better than that of Baohe Hall. The appearance alone is one level higher than that of Baohe Hall. The black horizontal plaque at the main entrance reads "Yishengtang" in vermilion paint. .The aroma of medicine in the house is fragrant, and people come in and out from time to time carrying large and small bags of medicine. Business is very prosperous.

Shen Yuexi turned around and greeted Feng Zhang: "Brother Feng, come in with me."

She didn't dare to let Feng Zhang out of her sight now. If he accidentally found out about Xiao Zhuo, she would be in trouble.

Feng Zhang was a little puzzled, scratched his head and said: "Ms. Pei, I'm watching the car outside, so I won't go in."

Shen Yuexi stood without moving even half a step, her slender hands tightly twisting the corners of her clothes, making a worried look: "Brother Feng, if you don't follow me in, what if you encounter the same people who made things difficult for me last night?" What should I do? I am a weak woman..."

Before he finished speaking, Feng Zhang had already tied the mule cart to the stone pile at the entrance of Yisheng Hall.

"Ms. Pei is saying that I didn't think carefully enough," he rolled up his sleeves as he walked, "I'll follow you, and if anyone dares to make things difficult for you again, I'll knock out his teeth."

Shen Yuexi's lips immediately showed a smile, and she felt relieved.

The two of them entered the pharmacy, and Shen Yuexi asked the clerk inside across the counter: "Is the doctor sitting in the hall here?"

There were two young men behind the counter, one tall and one short. They were busy weighing and packing medicines for customers. The taller one looked up at Shen Yuexi and asked, "Miss, do you have a patient who needs treatment?"

"Exactly."

"The doctor is currently attending a consultation and is not in the hall." The tall boy shook his head.

Feng Zhang looked disappointed and looked at Shen Yuexi: "Ms. Pei, since the doctor is not here, let's look at another one."

Shen Yuexi was unwilling to give in and asked: "Where is the doctor treating patients now?"

Before the tall boy could speak, the short boy rushed to answer: "I went to Lao Li Tou's place in the south of the city. His son fell from the roof two weeks ago, and an upright iron drill was inserted into his thigh... "

When Shen Yuexi heard this, her heart moved and she asked, "Doctor Hua, you, are good at treating wounds like this?"

"That's right," the short boy said while packing the medicine, "when it comes to diagnosing and treating wounds punctured by sharp instruments, my Dr. Hua is the second best, and no one dares to stand in front of him."

It seems that I have come to the right place and found the right person today.

Shen Yuexi asked clearly about the location of Lao Li's family, and quickly left Yishengtang with Feng Zhang.

But when they stepped out of the door, two government officials with steel knives on their waists came over.
