Chapter 395: Secretly saving someone on someone's behalf

County Magistrate Feng Chen took some antipyretics, but before he was fully recovered, he wanted to go out and do his official business.

Lu Hongwen repeatedly emphasized that the subsidence of high fever only meant that the illness was not life-threatening, but since the body was weak, it was still necessary to rest, even if it meant lying in bed for half a day.

Unfortunately, the young magistrate refused to listen. The old man frowned and said, "Since you are a scholar, you should know that haste makes waste. This is true for studying and for taking care of your body. Although youth is good, you should cherish it."

Feng Chen knew that he had good intentions, but Xiong Jiushan had already taken his men out of the city, and they had urgent matters to cooperate with. With so many important things to do, how could he delay and miss out on something important?

Feng Chen knew that Xiong Jiushan's men were simply a drop in the bucket when it came to suppressing the bandits. He needed to borrow some more men, and he already had candidates in mind.

The yamen runner Cao Qi was right. Disaster was inevitable, so it was better to turn it into good fortune. He was already sick anyway, and there were rumors outside, and it was difficult for the people to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Taking advantage of this borrowed "east wind", he dragged his "weak" body to visit each household and borrow manpower to help the people eliminate banditry.

He just couldn't believe that even if he raised the banner of benefiting the people, he couldn't force them to contribute even a little bit of manpower?

If we don’t do it, that will be the root cause of the disaster in Yucheng.

A cold had somehow opened up some spiritual orifice in Feng Chen's young and rigid brain, and he actually began to learn to fight poison with poison.

Isn’t it said that he is the disaster of Yucheng? Whoever disagrees with the suppression of the bandits this time will be a disaster to his ancestors!

With a flushed face, Feng Chen sincerely requested Lu Hongwen to give him a strong medicine that would allow him to survive for a day or half a year.

Lu Hongwen was so angry that he slammed the medicine box!

"Please forgive me, my medical skills are not very good, and it is difficult for me to do this. Please do not gamble your life and property with it."

Beside the two men, Tu Huanyin was hiding nearby, watching them struggling. Seeing the old doctor's helpless expression, he was unwilling to joke about the patient's life.

After Tu Huan set up the "alarm" system in the basement of Yu Mansion, she saw the message from Xie Yuchuan when she came out.

So he turned around and went to the county government office.

Lu Hongwen refused to use strong medicine and earnestly warned the yamen runner Cao Qi, "Your Excellency is ill and weak, you must not work hard."

Cao Qi was caught in the middle and was in great pain.

On one side was his boss, and on the other side were elders who were related to him in Yucheng. Cao Qi had no choice but to agree.

Feng Chen felt a little anxious.

Cao Qi was called to call a few people. Just as Cao Qi was about to turn around, he was nailed to the spot by Lu Hongwen's stern eyes.

"Go!"

"My Lord, do you want me to bear the death penalty for killing the county magistrate as soon as I leave the house?"

Feng Chen choked: "..."

Seeing that he had calmed down a bit, Lu Hongwen calmed down a bit. He opened the medicine box again and took out the silver needles.

"grown ups?"

Feng Chen stretched out his arms obediently this time, feeling anxious.

Tu Huan was asked to come and see Feng Chen. She did not expect that after she froze the Nar River last night, it would have such a big impact today.

Feng Chen's risky move should have been beyond the expectations of Xie Yuchuan and Xiong Jiushan.

After Lu Hongwen gave Feng Chen acupuncture treatment and saw that he felt better, he took his pulse and looked at him carefully, but he still couldn't help shaking his head.

You can really make fun of your own body.

Cao Qi, standing by, was filled with guilt, wishing he could slap himself in the face. What a rotten idea he had come up with that nearly cost his master his life. He turned around and poured water, one cup for Feng Chen and one for Lu Hongwen.

Tu Huan's eyes lit up, the opportunity was just right.

Xu Bu walked to Feng Chen and poured a small bottle of recovery potion purchased from the system mall into his glass of water before Feng Chen drank it.

Feng Chen was unaware of anything and drank it all in one gulp.

suddenly--

Feng Chen's expression changed slightly, and he stared down at the empty cup in his hand with a confused look.

Cao Qi noticed his strange behavior and asked in confusion, "Sir, what's wrong? Is the water cold?"

Feng Chen shook his head and looked up at Lu Hongwen's cup.

Seeing him finish drinking, he couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Lu, how does the water in your glass taste?"

Lu Hongwen was stunned when he heard this. "It's just water, colorless and tasteless, what taste can it have?" After saying this, he saw the strange expression on his face and couldn't help but ask, "Do you think water tastes different?"

Feng Chen nodded with a strange expression on his face.

Lu Hongwen frowned.

"Sir, could you please let me see the cup?"

Feng Chen handed it over.

Lu Hongwen took it back and examined it, finding nothing different. He handed it to Cao Qi and asked, "Did you give the adults different water?"

"No!" The bailiff Cao Qi was also stunned.

"Pour another glass."

So, after drinking the second cup, Feng Chen shook his head and said in surprise: "This cup is just like usual."

Lu Hongwen looked at him silently, his heart beating a little, "What did the water taste like when you drank it just now, sir?"

"Sweet and sour."

“…”

Feng Chen was a little nervous: "Doctor Lu, should I..."

"Sir, please extend your hand."

Tu Huan, who had completed the task, sat aside for a while. Only when she saw an expression of incredible surprise on the face of the doctor Lu Hongwen did she get up and leave.

The mall potion is effective and the mission is completed.

There was a soft ding sound above my head.

Points earned from saving lives will be credited to your account instantly.

Tu Huan was quite happy. Although she was asked by Xie Yuchuan to come here temporarily, she didn't expect that the reward for treating the magistrate of Yucheng would be quite a lot!

An unexpected gain.

He released the Penglai Fairy Feather Antler Cart from the backpack system, flew it low all the way out of the city, and caught up with the moving exile team.

A large group of people left Yucheng and walked five miles towards the northwest. Many fugitives saw many people walking eastward.

Sometimes, when encountering people with luxurious carriages, the exile team would have to avoid suspicion.

With the previous donation from the Tian family, the team is now much wealthier than before. Xiong Jiushan rode on horseback, watching the people passing by coldly.

This time, we will still take the main road.

Many exiles in the team were curious about the frozen river that night, and thought that if they went out from the other side of the city gate, the escorts would be able to broaden their horizons.

Especially as I walked along, I saw many passers-by talking about it, and I couldn't help but feel curious.

Unfortunately, the direction they are moving seems to be opposite to that of others.

Among the exiles, some silently followed the direction they had walked in the past few days, comparing it in their minds. They vaguely sensed something, but did not dare to make random guesses. They just followed the orders of the officials and walked forward.

As Xie Wenjie walked in the team, he noticed many people looking at him from time to time. It wasn't just him, other members of the Xie family felt the same way.

Many people wanted to find clues about today's exile route from the expressions of the Xie family. Everything was fine, but suddenly they became a little strange. They had no way to find out and could only secretly observe the Xie family.
