MTL - I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times-Chapter 868 I got sick

The Mu family has occupied the court for decades, and no matter how fierce the partisanship is, it has never shaken their position.

After sitting in that position for a long time, some people treat him as their own and do whatever they want with him.

 But the most taboo thing for officials is that the power between clans is too large and affects the situation in the court. However, the clans have profound heritage, are not fully sure, and cannot be easily shaken.

 Therefore, the annual scientific examination is the best time for officials to select talents to add fresh blood to the court and balance the situation of the court.

 However, due to the restriction of family background, the scholars from poor families have no support behind them. This is also an opportunity for the clan to attract talents.

“The Caogang is not only a private gang, but also cooperates with the government in many cases. The forces behind it cannot be underestimated. If you fight against them alone, you will be fighting against a rock.”

In the past two days, he has not gone out in the hotel. The county government will send people to chat with him every day. It is called asking if he needs to make other arrangements for food, clothing, housing and transportation. In fact, they are monitoring him, fearing that he will leave these people. The line of sight is difficult to control.

　　Seeing Magistrate Liu leading the people away, Shu Yuan curled his lips, turned around and came in.

 “Master, they have left.”

In this way, he was even more certain that if he could get the Cao Gang to stop him, the people behind him must be officials.

 Xiao Wu raised the corners of his lips.

“It’s dark and cold, and I’m heavy with worries. I’m afraid my body won’t last long. I guess I should see a doctor tomorrow.”

 Xiao Wu leaned on the cushion, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and looked behind the screen.

 “Okay, it’s getting late, it’s time to rest.”

 The same is true at night.

Wenyou walked out, looked at Xiao Wu, whose face was red, and twitched the corner of her mouth.

“It’s easy to change the pulse using acupuncture points.”

  Two nights later,

 Touching those calm eyes, Wenyou raised her eyebrows, sat down, picked up the water and drank it.

Seeing Xiao Wu’s face turning red after coughing, Magistrate Liu silently took two steps back, cleared his throat and sighed,

"After all, he is a scholar, and his body and bones are weak. You should take good care of him. If you need anything, just tell your subordinates and I will work hard."

Wenyou stood in front of him and looked at him condescendingly.

 Cheng Qian and Cheng Ye looked at each other and hid quietly in the dark, waiting for their master to give orders. It was their duty to protect their master as secret guards. As for the master's comfort, they would not and had no turn to speak.

“Master Liu, you don’t have to work so hard, just send your servants to deliver food.”

"I have been following Gang Leader Wang for the past two days, and the one I contacted with him was a Deputy Gang Leader of Cao Gang. The two of them have a close relationship... Moreover, from the conversation between the two, I think the Deputy Gang Leader Cao who is in contact with you Something unexpected must have happened."

Xiao Wu came back to his senses, looked at Shuyuan scratching his head and scratched his head, and curled the corners of his lips.

 “Well then, please go to Shuyuan and see Mr. Liu off for me.”

 Before and after the announcement of the results, he was also invited to attend many banquets, and many people extended olive branches to him.

Tomorrow morning I have to deal with those boring people, which will take a lot of energy.

"A strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake. Don't worry, Sister Wen, I am self-aware. I just want to tell some people that although my abilities are limited, I am not someone who can step on me if I want."

Of course, the things sold inside are all shady. The black marketeers only deal with the transactions and take commissions, but don’t care about anything else.

Hearing Xiao Wu’s mocking tone, Wenyou looked at him quietly.

Early the next morning, there was a coughing sound, and then Shuyuan anxiously ordered someone to call a doctor.

"That makes sense. Young man, he recovers quickly. I wish you a speedy recovery. I'll take my leave. You don't have to worry about lunch. I'll send someone to bring it to you."

Xiao Wu read through the account books and just sat down to drink tea when Wenyou's figure appeared under the window.

 One hundred and seventy-eight. Seventy-five. Two hundred and fifty-five. Two hundred and one

"The illegal activities involve too many areas. With your current ability, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out. Even if you catch a few ringleaders, it will be difficult to uproot them."

 He wanted to persuade, but he didn't know how to speak. He subconsciously looked at Cheng Qian and Cheng Ye.

Before entering the capital, his father-in-law had talked to him and told him about the chaos in the court and the feud between the families.

"There was indeed a disagreement within them a while ago, and it was very unpleasant. Moreover, many people in the Hongxing Gang supported the deputy gang leader Cao Jian. For this reason, Gang Leader Wang was annoyed. But the person who took action was the Cao Gang. The specific reason is not clear yet, but Cao Jian is more likely to be in trouble than in danger."

Xiao Wu said, covering his mouth with a handkerchief and coughing again.

After ducking into the room, Xiao Wu had already refilled the tea for him, "Sister Wen, sit down and talk."

 Many people rely on the power of the clan to gain a foothold in the court, and eventually become the mouthpiece of the clan.

Xiao Wu held the tea bowl and thought for a long time.

When Master Zhizhou fell ill, County Magistrate Liu was very concerned. He personally brought people over to deliver meals at noon, and chatted with him for a few words before leaving.

 Anyone who wants to cause trouble will not end well.

“The Hongxing Gang is behind the Cao Gang. It’s so powerful that you may not be able to move it.”

 Hearing the news brought by Wenyou, Xiao Wu was also surprised that Caogang was involved.

The fruit is very dark.

 “I’d like to have Magistrate Liu come over for a visit.”

 As a son from a poor family, he can only be a disciple of the emperor and cannot be attached to any clan in order to survive for a long time. Otherwise, they can only become pawns for the clan to fight against the imperial court.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Liu. I have already asked the doctor and prescribed medicine. Maybe it will be better in three to five days."

Shuyuan looked at his master's silent back, extremely anxious. The master encountered obstacles one after another and was in many dangers. It has been more than half a month since he arrived here from Fucheng. He still has no clue about the private salt matter. Needless to think, the master must be Anxious.

“I couldn’t sleep last night. I stood in front of the window for a while, but unexpectedly I got caught in the wind. After all, my body was not strong enough.”

 “No, no, I’ll leave on my own, my lord, and take good care of yourself.”

By the time the county government got the news and came to visit, the yard was already filled with the smell of bitter medicine soup.

"It's all right. When Lord Zhizhou comes to inspect Liang County, we should accompany him and cooperate as much as possible."

"In the past two days, I checked the salt well production accounts again, and there are no errors. However, based on the number and working hours of workers working in the salt well, the output is far higher than what is shown in the books."

“Sister Wen, I want to go to the black market. Maybe I can find a breakthrough there.”

"The black market is too dangerous for you." The black market literally means that there is no royal law. All the rules are made by the black market owner, and those who enter must abide by the rules.

“Sister Wen is so amazing that even the doctor can’t find any abnormalities.”

Hearing Xiao Wu’s plan, Wenyou was stunned for a moment and shook her head.

“No hard work or hard work, it’s all what a lower official should do.”

 The next morning, Xiao Wu drank the meat porridge in front of him and looked at Magistrate Liu gratefully.

 “It’s hard work for Mr. Liu to run around every day.”
