Forced into a substitute marriage? The concubine’s unparalleled medical skills amaze the world

She felt a little uneasy and was willing to be punished.

But the next second Jiang Si's voice sounded in the carriage: "You are not wrong, you did a good job."

Qiu Shuang was stunned for a moment, then listened to Jiang Si continue: "Those people have evil hearts. If they didn't meet us or other people, they would rob food and kill people."

Qiu Shuang didn't speak, only listened to Jiang Si's voice in the carriage, which was slow but somewhat calm.

“Don’t blame yourself for other people’s mistakes.”

Qiu Shuang felt stuffy in her heart for some reason, and the tip of her nose was a little sore. She couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.

I just feel like I have never experienced this feeling before.

She responded in a muffled voice: "Yes."

Refugees can be seen everywhere in Jiangbei, and the weather has become gloomy and rainy.

What they were going to was the severely affected place in Jiangbei, Heyuan Pass, which was the most severely affected area this time.

Pei Xuan also died here.

Heyuan Pass is rich in ores, and Jiang Si suspects that the dike burst and serious disaster there this time have a lot to do with this.

Although the disaster was serious, the trading of ore still did not stop.

The closer we get to Heyuan Pass, the worse the weather becomes, with constant heavy rain.

Judging from this situation, Heyuan Pass is likely to suffer more serious casualties.

There are also more and more refugees, and many people leave their homes with their families and luggage on their backs.

Jiang Si and her party soon arrived at Heyuan Pass.

They found a place to live at random. The inside of the city was completely different from the outside.

The outside of the city was in chaos, but inside the city was singing and dancing, and it looked peaceful.

The best-informed places are restaurants and tea shops.

Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan settled in and threw a piece of silver to the waiter. The waiter took the silver and said with joy on his face: "It seems that these guests are not locals. You are here to buy ore too."

Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan did not answer directly, but their expressions showed that he guessed correctly.

The waiter in the store had a smile on his face: "As for this ore, our Heyuan Pass is very famous."

"Sir, you have come to the right place."

Zhou Jingxuan seemed to ask unintentionally: "Did something happen at Heyuan Pass? Why are there all refugees outside the city, but there are none in the city."

The waiter looked around and lowered his voice a little: "Of course you don't know that your guests are from out of town."

"The floods in our Heyuan Pass are serious, and many villages and towns have been flooded."

Jiang Si pretended to be surprised and said: "Then why is no one taking care of it?"

The waiter whispered: "No one is taking care of it. There is someone who is taking care of it but the person is gone."

"It's Mr. Pei who came from the capital. He just wanted to take care of it, but he fell into the water and drowned."

"They all said that the man from the capital offended the gods, so he died because of the anger of the water god."

"They said that the water god was angered by the unruly people and sent down punishment from heaven. That's why the dike burst and heavy rain continued."

"Whoever takes care of those sinners will also be punished."

When the waiter said this, he shook his head: "How pitiful."

"I don't know if it's true or not."

Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan looked at each other and immediately understood what the other meant.

They didn't ask anymore, but asked about the ore.

Jiangbei is rich in all kinds of ores, and Heyuan Pass has the highest output among them, and it is also the foundation for those noble families to settle down and live.

The ore in Heyuanguan is controlled by one of the prominent families named Xie.

Zhou Jingxuan gratefully thanked the waiter: "Then I will know where to buy it this time."

After the waiter left, Zhou Jingxuan slowly spoke: "There is a big problem in Heyuan Pass."

Jiang Si nodded, usually using ghosts and gods to cover up must have some shady secrets underneath.

Zhou Jingxuan went directly to meet the Xie family the next day.

And Jiang Si stayed in the restaurant.

Zhou Jingxuan came back in the evening. He was holding a paper fan and there was still moisture on his shoulders.

After entering the house, he did not approach Jiang Si immediately, but took his time before approaching.

"Today I met the third son of the Xie family, he is an old fox."

"No matter how I told him, he would not miss a word. He only said that his eldest brother had to make the final decision on the family business."

Jiang Si poured a cup of hot tea for Zhou Jingxuan, and comforted her softly: "This is normal. Otherwise, Mr. Pei had already taken care of it, so how could he be plotted by them?"

As soon as Zhou Jingxuan took the hot tea and took a sip, An Yi walked in quickly. He immediately closed the door as soon as he came in: "Master, I found the letter left by Master Pei."

"My subordinates also found out that Heyuan Pass already knows that you are here."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Jingxuan's face darkened.

He went from the capital to Heyuan Pass. In order not to alert others, he came almost quietly.

The news was received so quickly, which means that someone in the capital delivered the news to Heyuan Pass.

Pei Xuan might have been killed because people in the capital had spread the news.

An Yi handed over the letter. This was completely different from the letter from Jingcheng.

Zhou Jingxuan opened it and found Pei Xuan's words on it.

When you read this letter, the official may not be alive.

This time is earlier than the letter Pei Xuan sent to the capital, which shows that Pei Xuan knew something long ago.

Zhou Jingxuan frowned and looked down.

When Pei Xuan arrived in Jiangbei, he took the lead in coming to Heyuan Pass.

Because this is the place where the disaster was most serious, countless people were displaced and countless people died in the flood.

His first stop will be here.

It was only when he arrived at Heyuan Pass that he realized something was wrong, just like what Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan saw. There were obviously countless refugees on the road, but there was no dejection in the city.

Pei Xuan also mentioned it in the letter, ghosts and gods said.

They say that Heyuan Pass is a natural punishment sent by the gods, and those who have died for hundreds of years are the people punished by heaven.

Since ancient times, ghosts and gods have been the best fig leaves for all evils.

When he first started, he pretended to agree and complained to them that it was a chore for the capital to send him here. He planned to just deal with it and return to the capital.

The Xie family treated him very well, gave him countless jewels, gold and silver, and called him brothers.

He numbed those people during the day and began to investigate the secrets of Heyuan Pass at night.

After only a few days here, he could see that the government and the noble families here had long been in collusion, and even respected them.

He quickly found some clues.

He found that the Xie family's mines were basically not far from the dam, and the bottom had even been completely hollowed out.

The most important thing is that these minerals are not the numbers on the surface.

His secret investigation was soon discovered, and the Xie family sent someone to negotiate with him.

The Xie family promised him gold and silver, and even gave him a chance to be promoted.

When he saw this, Zhou Jingxuan's expression suddenly changed.

Pei Xuan is already in the Ministry of Personnel, so the Xie family can still give him the opportunity to be promoted, which shows that this person's rights are not simple!
