The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

Li Dashan quickly raised his head and looked at Baozhao with an expression of disbelief.

"If you don't believe it, I can write you a prescription first. You can take it to the clinic and show it to the doctor first, and then decide whether to use my prescription. How about that?" Shen Baozhao said slowly.

After hearing this, Li Dashan hesitated for a moment and made up his mind: "It's not that I don't believe in noble people, but I'm short of money. The money I earn is just enough to feed my family.

If you can lend me some money, I, Li Dashan, will work like a slave for the rest of my life."

After saying that, he knelt down. Shen Baozhao knew that Uncle Li was a man of integrity, but he didn't expect that he had such a miserable life. He quickly helped him up: "Absolutely not."

"It's just some money. I'll lend it to you. The most urgent thing now is to cure my aunt's illness."

Li Dashan did not get up. He pulled Li Xiaoshan and kowtowed three times to Shen Baozhao.

"Do you have paper and pen? I want to write a prescription." Shen Baozhao asked.

"I don't have paper or pen at home, so just dictate it. I can remember it." These were the words said by Li Xiaoshan.

Shen Baozhao did not doubt whether Li Xiaoshan could remember it, so he started to report the herbs and quantities one by one.

"Please repeat it for me," said Shen Baozhao.

Li Xiaoshan kept repeating it over and over again, even the order was exactly the same as what Shen Baozhao said. Shen Baozhao couldn't help but be surprised, because he had never heard Uncle Li talk about his son in his previous life.

"Very good, no mistakes." Bao Zhao praised, and reminded: "But you have to be completely sure that you can get it exactly right when you get to the clinic, after all, this is related to your mother's illness."

Bao Zhao then reached out to Qingkong. Although Qingkong was a little dissatisfied, he still took out the purse and handed it to Li Xiaoshan.

Li Xiaoshan thought of his previous attitude and felt a little embarrassed: "Don't worry, I won't be wrong."

Shen Baozhao could also see that he was a filial child, so he felt relieved.

Li Dashan was afraid that Xiaoshan would feel unsafe with so much money, so he asked Old Dong to go to the clinic with him.

Now, only Li Dashan and his wife and Shen Baozhao and his servant are left in this dilapidated and low-rise house.

Originally, Shen Baozhao was not so confident that he could win over Uncle Li.

But now if Aunt Li's illness can be cured, then this matter will definitely be foolproof. According to the amazing detection ability shown by Uncle Li in his previous life, he will definitely be a good helper for her.

After careful consideration, Shen Baozhao said, "I see that you, Uncle Li, are very agile. Even if you are doing hard labor, your family should not be in such a miserable state."

Maybe she had shown enough goodwill, or maybe Li Dashan had fallen to such a state that he had nothing to worry about.

He sighed, smiled bitterly and said, "I was originally a hunter in Xinghua Village, but now I am a wanted criminal by the government."

"I don't dare to go to crowded places on weekdays. I can only hide my identity and work for others to earn a few coins. But I don't dare to go there every day for fear of being recognized."

Shen Baozhao was shocked to hear this. It turned out that he knew too little in his previous life. No wonder Uncle Li changed his name later.

Seeing that Shen Baozhao didn't say anything, Li Dashan thought she was frightened. So he comforted her, "Don't be afraid, my lady. I will turn myself in when my wife recovers. Then they won't have to hide anymore."

"My last name is Shen, and I am the daughter of the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion. Uncle Li, you can just call me Miss Shen."

"Excuse me, Uncle Li, why is the government looking for you?" Shen Baozhao was curious.

When Li Dashan mentioned this, his face was filled with indignation: "It was the officials who forced the people to rebel. There is a mountain in Xinghua Village, named Black Bear Mountain. There is a group of bandits on the mountain."

"Although they were called bandits, they led a miserable life. They robbed the rich to help the poor, and most of the stolen property was used to help the needy households in the village. Who would have thought that the government was so aggressive in suppressing bandits during that period, and they didn't intend to let the bandits in Black Bear Mountain go either."

"After hearing the news of the bandit suppression, the leader knew that he was no match for the government. He did not intend to resist and was ready to lead his brothers to accept the government's offer of amnesty."

"Who would have thought that the person in charge above didn't want to recruit them without any effort. Instead, he wanted to create the illusion that they were stubborn and resisted. When they were completely unprepared, he slaughtered all the dozens of brave men in the Black Bear Mountain Village."

"That's not all. When they learned that there were only a few dozen people in the village, they were not satisfied. In order to get rewards from the higher-ups and get promoted and make money, the officers and soldiers even killed the villagers of Xinghua Village as bandits."

Speaking of this, Li Dashan's face was filled with resentment. He gnashed his teeth and wished he could eat the flesh and drink the blood of those people.

"I happened to be hunting in the mountains that day, and heard a few leaders talking at the back of Black Bear Mountain. I hurried down the mountain to inform the villagers. But before I got home, the killing had already begun."

"I only had time to escape with my wife and son. All 108 families in Xinghua Village were killed by the soldiers. They didn't know what happened until they died."

Li Dashan became more and more excited as he spoke, and even covered his face and cried.

"Just like that, I became a wanted bandit by the government for no apparent reason. I heard that the official in charge of suppressing the bandits had been promoted to the position of doctor-in-chief. I knew that I had no hope of escaping the crime, but I couldn't leave my seriously ill wife and children at home, so I lingered on."

"Otherwise, I will definitely go and beat the drum for hearing the news."

Doctor? A name flashed through Shen Baozhao's mind.

Zhao Qi, the late Queen's younger brother and the Crown Prince's uncle, can be said to be a staunch supporter of the Crown Prince. No wonder he can cover the sky with one hand and call a deer a horse.

Although Emperor Chengde favored Concubine Shu, he did not pay any special attention to Concubine Shu's family, the Ning'an Marquis Mansion. On the contrary, because the Empress died early, he was very tolerant of the Zhao family.

There were countless Zhao family members serving as officials in the court, and the leader of them was the prince's uncle.

From the fact that the crown prince was deposed in the previous life, the Zhao family just stopped being high-profile and hibernated secretly. They were not implicated too much, and it can be seen that the emperor still favored this brother-in-law.

I just wonder if he would still do the same if he knew that he was using the lives of his innocent people to benefit himself.

At this time, Li Xiaoshan, who had been getting the medicine, also came back. After giving the medicine bag to Shen Baozhao for inspection, he went to boil the medicine.

After Aunt Li drank Shen Baozhao's medicine, she fell into a deep sleep. Li Dashan was very happy, because Aunt Li had not had a good sleep since she started coughing.

Shen Baozhao took out some silver from his sleeve pocket and gave it to Li Dashan: "Uncle Li, it's not that convenient for me to go out on weekdays. This silver should be enough to buy medicine until Aunt Li recovers."

“If you trust me, after Aunt Li recovers, go to Ning’an Marquis’s Mansion to look for Master Shen II.

He is my father, I will explain your situation to him. We will give you a household registration, but you will have to be my rickshaw driver first." Shen Baozhao said carefully.

"I don't feel wronged, I don't feel wronged. I have no way to repay the young lady's great kindness. As long as the young lady can use me in the future, I will be willing to sacrifice my life for her." Li Dashan was moved.

Shen Baozhao was very satisfied: "Okay, I can't stay outside for too long, so I'll go back first."

He said goodbye to the Li father and son, went to the entrance of the alley, took a rented carriage and returned to Duobao Street.
