Chapter 282 Everyone is a "Talent"

Lu Yanshi told him with a smile to keep Arisaema and return to Beijing together when the time comes.

Lu Heng couldn't bear to leave his sister, but also wanted to continue studying medicine.

Lu Yanshi’s suggestion hit the mark.

He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Father. I will definitely get it done."

Having said that, he walked towards Arisaema.

"Master, what are your plans next?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Tian Nanxing's attitude became much more casual when facing Lu Heng.

"Why don't we follow Ninth Sister? Father has brought many guards. If the Valley Master comes to trouble you in the future, there will be people to protect you." Lu Heng did not beat around the bush.

He knew that his master hated it most when people beat around the bush.

When Lu Li saw Lu Yanshi constantly peeking over here, he immediately understood.

[My father must have asked my third brother to say this.]

[Tian Nan Xing's medical skills are so strong, my father will definitely not want to let him go like this. ]

[It's a good opportunity to bring him back to the capital to help develop a smallpox vaccine.]

Lu Qi heard her thoughts and nodded secretly.

She thought the same as her father.

Lu Heng suddenly realized why his father wanted him to stay with his master. He thought his father was reluctant to let him go and was afraid that he would not be able to learn medical skills.

"Just come with us and have some fun together. When we return to the capital, you can teach those doctors and urge them to develop the cowpox vaccine as soon as possible. After all, you are so amazing." Lu Li looked at Tian Nanxing.

Tian Nanxing felt relieved after hearing the last sentence.

"Kid, you have good taste." He smiled proudly at Lu Li.

Lu Li's face fell and she stared at him unsatisfiedly.

Tian Nanxing remembered what happened before, changed his words decisively, and put on a flattering smile.

"The Ninth Princess really has good taste."

"Mutual." Lu Li then smiled.

"By the way, if you come with us, I won't charge you the 100 taels of silver."

She made some conditions and continued to find ways to keep Arisaema.

When Lu Yanshi heard this, he looked at her with admiration.

As expected of his daughter, she is smart.

"Master, I can't bear to leave you, and I can't bear to leave my ninth sister." Lu Heng looked at Arisaema, tears glistening in his eyes.

Tiannanxing hadn't decided where to go yet. She listened to the two children talking to each other and finally nodded.

"Okay, I'll go with you guys."

Just consider it as a way to relax.

After receiving his affirmative answer, Lu Heng jumped three feet high with joy.

Seeing this, Lu Yanshi hurriedly called Meng Shanchuan and asked him to arrange another carriage.

With Tian Nanxing's personality, she probably wouldn't want to share a carriage with others.

Meng Shanchuan nodded in agreement, but he was worried.

The emperor picks up one person wherever he goes. When he returns to the capital, won’t they have several extra carriages?

…

The next morning.

Lu Yanshi and his group had already left the Divine Doctor Valley and headed towards the border between Southern Xinjiang and Xichang.

It was not until night that Yin Chuxue slowly woke up.

Because no one was allowed to enter her yard on normal days, no one noticed that she had been unconscious for so long.

After being in a coma for a day and a night, she was now very hungry.

She stared at the leftovers from last night's meal and recalled every detail of what happened last night.

Before Wei Qian left, he left a message: Never see you again.

Thinking of these four words, Yin Chuxue felt a pain in his heart and coughed up blood.

"Goodbye, never see you again."

She closed her eyes and let the tears flow from the corners of her eyes.

Her heart was completely dead.

Maybe she should have woken up many years ago.

There is only one Wei Qian in the world, and no one can replace him.

…

"Ninth sister, did you dream about the Valley Master? Is she awake? Did she send anyone to arrest me and my master?" In the carriage, Lu Heng looked at Lu Li nervously.

Lu Li opened the melon-eating system and took a look, and found that Yin Chuxue had vomited blood.

So I just said perfunctorily: "No, I didn't dream about it. But I think it's very likely that I won't catch up with you."

"That's good." Lu Heng finally felt relieved.

"Ouch."

At this moment, the carriage jolted, causing Lu Li to lose her balance and fall forward. Lu Yanshi and Lu Qi reached out to catch her at the same time.

Fortunately, Lu Li reacted quickly and didn't fall.

Lu Yanshi was furious: "How do you drive the carriage?"

The driver replied with a tearful face: "Fourth Master, this road is too steep. I have done my best."

When Lu Yanshi opened the car door, he found that the road was dilapidated, with yellow mud and stones, which was completely different from the wide and flat official road he had seen before.

He looked in the direction he was going and saw a stone tablet on the side of the road, which read that Liyang City was ahead and this was the old site of Xichang.

"What's going on? Didn't the officials here repair the road properly?" Lu Yanshi frowned.

"Your Majesty, I will hurry up and check it out right away. Please wait a moment." Meng Shanchuan replied hurriedly.

Lu Li came out from behind Lu Yanshi and looked carefully at the bumpy road. She also felt very confused.

The official road I walked on before was very flat, why does it become so dilapidated here?

[This must be a case of cat peeping. Let me use the melon-eating system to see what’s going on. ]

When Lu Yanshi heard his daughter's thoughts, he was no longer anxious and waited for her to continue revealing information.

[Okay, the officials in Liyang City embezzled part of the money for road construction.]

[They also oppressed the people, forcing them to build roads while they were ploughing and sowing seeds. The money they gave was not enough, and the people were full of resentment, so naturally they would not build the roads properly.]

When Lu Yanshi heard this, he became furious.

Are the officials in Liyang City tired of living?

How dare you tamper with such an important matter concerning people's livelihood.

"Let's go into the city first."

Knowing what was going on, Lu Yanshi was no longer in a hurry.

When he arrives in Liyang City, he will deal with the corrupt officials here.

But Lu Yanshi never expected that they would not be able to enter the city.

"We have our travel permit and household registration certificate, why aren't you letting us in?" Qu Fufeng was furious as he had gone through so many places smoothly except for being stuck in Liyang City.

"I said your things are not in order, so it is not in order. Next one."

The soldiers guarding the city lazily sent him away.

"What's wrong? Tell me now." Qu Fufeng glared at him angrily.

He was the most popular person around the emperor. He had never suffered such humiliation before.

"Don't block the way here and prevent others from entering. Get out of the way, or I will charge you with obstructing officials in their duties." The soldiers guarding the city pushed him aside.

A middle-aged man waiting in line to enter the city couldn't stand it anymore, so he quietly pulled Qu Fufeng aside and whispered, "Little brother, you have to give the official some money for tea."

Qu Fufeng understood that the soldiers guarding the city were asking for bribes: "Tea money? They are robbing!"

"Keep your voice down." The man lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by the soldiers.

"There are so many of you, and there are several horse-drawn carriages. You must be a wealthy family. Of course they will charge you for the passage. But this is just a small amount of money. After entering the city, be sure not to offend the officials, otherwise you will have to spend more money."

After saying this the middle-aged man sighed.

"When the police come to investigate a case, they ask for money for the shoes, saying that the soles of their shoes and socks are worn out. When you are arrested and brought to the government for questioning, you have to pay the police for the locks, so that you can complete the interrogation process safely. When the prisoner is released from prison, the family members have to pay money to open the locks, otherwise they will not open the locks for you. If you take the handcuffs away directly, it is stealing public property."

Qu Fufeng was stunned.

The officials in Liyang City are all talented people, and they are really good at making money.

"Thank you for telling me." Qu Fufeng thanked him and quickly reported the matter to the emperor.

Lu Yanshi and his companions had never expected that this group of officials could come up with so many ridiculous reasons for embezzling property.

It’s time to clean up the city of Liyang!
