Chapter 1495: Saving People
“Oh, what a sin.” After Maoqiu performed his act, he lay on the table unhappily and rolled around.
"You are not a human being, why do you sympathize with those people?" Queen Mother Lu was enjoying the ear-picking service of the maids, and she was casually talking to Maoqiu.
The maids cannot hear it.
Even if they hear or see something, they will not say a word.
"Old men are poisoned to death. Some young lovers believe this. Because their families object, they don't want to spend their good years, but they go to reincarnation. Isn't this a sin?" Maoqiu has been following the kind-hearted Yuanyuan for a long time, and he has become more humane.
"To escape reality, you have to pay the price! Besides, I have already issued an edict prohibiting young people from buying and taking the fountain of youth. They are looking for death. I can't blame them." Empress Dowager Lu said coldly.
"Then you are also running away, aren't you? You are afraid of other people's voices, dare not face it, dare not bear it, so you choose to restart the world and create a pure world, and as a result you are here. You know, What price do you have to pay?" Maoqiu said boldly.
Then it became a sea urchin again...
"What price will I pay? It's the price I have to worry about such a big empire every day." Empress Dowager Lu said lightly.
"Well, what you have paid for is that you will always be a doll in the hands of others. Your empire, your queen mother, and your honor are all just props on someone else's stage..." Maoqiu struck her coldly. .
Then from sea urchin to jellyfish.
"Huh, they appreciate my performance, and I also appreciate their performance." Empress Dowager Lu looked up at the ceiling.
The low temple makes people feel particularly uncomfortable.
The so-called grand palace is nothing more than that.
"Hahaha, hahaha, do you think you can deal with them?" Maoqiu deliberately provoked.
Then it was thrown under the foot pad.
"Don't forget, I am a stinging jellyfish now..." it said with difficulty under the foot pads.
It was singled out again with disdain.
“I know exactly what those people want to do, but do they think they can take advantage of me?” Queen Mother Lu said disdainfully.
"Those people are very powerful. They already have one percent of the abilities of the principal. This is not to belittle, but to praise. The principal level is an indescribable level of existence." Maoqiu said seriously.
"Your principal must also be afraid of chaos."
"It's not fear, but disgust." Maoqiu explained for the principal.
To say that the principal is afraid of chaos is a complete slander.
Chaos is emitted by the principal.
Everyone hates their own emissions.
"I'm not interested in talking to you. The Ai family is going to bed." Empress Dowager Lu waved her hand.
Immediately a palace maid began to prepare smartly.
It’s so comfortable.
Everything can be done for you with just one look.
Everyone restrained their thoughts and did not dare to express them.
It would be great if all this could last forever.
…………
Imperial City Square.
From the side entrance of the palace, there are hundreds of black armor guards standing, all of them majestic.
There are couplets hanging on the side door: "Elixir of Immortality in Heaven", "Fountain of Youth on Earth", with horizontal scroll: three thousand mouthfuls.
There is a long queue at the side door, from the door to the street, with almost no end.
Most of them are old men, but some are young people.
Just looking at the team, you can tell how many wealthy families there are in the government and the public.
In the past, taxes could only be collected from the poor. Rich families were far more capable of resisting taxes than the poor.
"According to the decree of the Queen Mother, young people cannot use the Fountain of Youth," a senior eunuch inspected along the team. "Buying agents must have a letter of entrustment, the kind that requires a thumbprint. If you don't have one, there is no need to queue. Go home."
Xue Wenfa, the scholar doctor, was outside the team, looking back and forth for the young couple.
They must be half-brothers and sisters. As a doctor, he had seen several cases of stories about lovers eventually becoming brothers and sisters.
It’s all caused by the big men having too many illegitimate children.
Xue Wenfa heard the shouts of the chief eunuch and became more sure of his guess.
The medicine must be fake.
It doesn’t matter if some old men are poisoned to death, but if the young men are also poisoned to death, the court will be doomed.
If it were real medicine, there would definitely be no need to issue this edict.
He searched and searched, and finally found the young man and woman.
They were hugging a mahogany box tightly.
What should be inside should be the banknotes for purchasing medicine.
For two people, it is six thousand taels, three to four hundred kilograms. It is impossible to carry it with you.
This medicine purchase banknote is issued by the newly established Royal Bank. Store the money inside and have it stamped with the seal "Only for medicine purchase", as well as your fingerprint and name.
It is useless even if others steal it and snatch it away.
"You two, don't buy that elixir, it's fake!" he said anxiously.
"What are you talking about?" The young man looked at him suspiciously.
"Brother, ignore this person. He must be a liar and wants to defraud us of our money." The young woman said more directly.
Alas.
Xue Wenfa knew it would be like this. Public opinion makes gold. Even if he is real gold, he cannot resist the public opinion, let alone he is not?
"Listen to me, take your money and find a place where no one knows you, live a good life, and adopt a few children. I have some tricks here." Xue Wenfa knew what the two of them were going to do. In order to prevent the young man from dying in vain, He decided to do something contrary to human ethics.
"You, who are you? How do you know about me and Hongmei?" The young man was shocked.
"I have been practicing medicine for many years and have walked on more bridges than you have walked on. It is not unusual for things like this to often happen within the high walls of large households." Xue Wenfa shook his head.
The two men and women were a little hesitant.
The other party knows their details. If they don't listen to the other party, the other party will shout here. The two of them have no choice but to die for the sake of honor.
"We have never met you, why do you want to interfere with our business?" the young man asked again.
"Didn't you listen? The Fountain of Youth is not allowed for young people to drink. Why? It's not because it is fake and cannot really make people live forever."
"You are lying, the court It is very simple to say that young people are not allowed to drink. If the young people are dead, who will take care of the reincarnated doll? "The young woman is obviously poisoned.
"Okay, okay, even if you are right, let me ask you, if you are reincarnated and become two dolls, can you be together? Let me tell you, the baby's Those who die young are five or six in ten, and those who grow to be fifteen are twenty-three in ten." Xue Wenfa had no choice but to persuade him from another angle.
This time, the two young people listened.
"Brother Chun, what he said makes sense."
"Hongmei, let's go to a place where they don't know us."
"That's right. I practice medicine all over the place and can help. , by the way, I will introduce you to some children who have no parents, and let them provide for you in the future," Xue Wenfa said happily.
Six thousand taels of silver is a great wealth.
As long as you have good luck and the court is stable, you can buy a large family property.
Thirty-two acres of good irrigated land can be purchased for two hundred acres.
Dry land is not valuable anymore, only three to five ounces per acre.
Xue Wenfa took the young men and women to resettle.
After settling in, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Is this considered to be an accumulation of bad virtue, or a great sin?
He couldn't tell himself clearly.
"My Buddha is compassionate, and what the donor does is closely related to my Buddha." A fat monk suddenly appeared next to him and said with his hands clasped together.
