It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 196

After entering Xiyuan County, Xiao Li's caravan quickly found a guesthouse for temporary accommodation.

The caravan members were carrying goods back and forth. Boss Li hesitated for a long time before pacing in front of Jiang Yan, then seemed to want to say something but stopped.

Jiang Yan took in Boss Li's embarrassed look and deliberately stared at him for a moment before tactfully finding Mu Niangzi to resign.

Mrs. Mu was prepared for this result and did not ask any questions. She just gave Jiang Yan an extra five taels of silver when settling the wages.

Jiang Yan gladly accepted it, never expecting that one day she would be able to earn enough money to save her life.

……

Governor Han, who was waiting in Muping County, received the tragic news that the young master of the Wu family had been robbed, murdered, and disappeared. Before he could inquire about the details, he saw the dark-faced Wu family members approaching with menacing force.

The Wu family could not afford the consequences of Prime Minister Wu's rage, and Governor Han felt that it would be difficult for him to escape from the entanglement of the Wu family, so he immediately led his subordinates out of Muping County and rushed back to the provincial capital.

As soon as Governor Han entered the Governor's mansion, he received a letter from Prime Minister Wu scolding him. Although he wanted to be loyal to Prime Minister Wu, he was disgusted by Prime Minister Wu's disrespectful behavior even though he was in such a powerful position.

Governor Han was sitting in his study, lost in thought. He unconsciously clenched the letter from Prime Minister Wu, which was then soaked and broken by the sweat in his palms.

Late at night, a carriage passed by the main gate of Governor Mo's Mansion, threw out a "corpse" and quickly disappeared.

"who is it!?"

The guard guarding the gate approached cautiously with a sword in hand, and after a moment turned over the "corpse" lying on the ground to identify it carefully.

"Still angry."

The guards did not know the identity of the man who was left in front of the mansion gate. They just looked at his clothes, which were torn and dirty but made of valuable materials, and judged that he must be of noble status.

The second steward of the mansion was urgently called in for careful identification, and it was discovered that the unconscious man was most likely Wu Fusui, the young master of the Wu family who was being searched for throughout the Zhongyuan Prefecture.

Commander Mo was in a very bad mood. No one could resist cursing or swearing after being woken up from the bedroom in the middle of the night and given a hot potato to deal with.

Although he sent his men to get involved, he wanted to give up and not play with anyone when he thought that he was being singled out and used by an unknown person lurking in the dark.

But Governor Mo could only think about it.

While he was standing in the yard waiting for the doctor to treat Wu Fusui, who had been carried into the side room, and thinking about the next course of action, Xie Changqian and Mo Ruzhen, who had received the news from the backyard, had already hurried over.

After the greetings, Mo Ruzhen couldn't wait to ask, "Is the person alive? Who sent him here?"

Commander Mo shook his head: "I'm not sure, the doctor is watching."

Xie Changqian didn't say anything, but just stood quietly by the side. However, Governor Mo always felt that she was a little strange and occasionally glanced at her sideways.

A quarter of an hour later, the doctor came out with a serious expression: "Report to the governor, this young man is unconscious because he has been poisoned by multiple poisons."

Commander Mo wasn't surprised. He thought there were only a few possible causes for a coma. "A possible solution?"

The doctor shook his head: "My medical skills are limited and I can't do anything."

Commander Mo asked, "Can he wake up? How long can he live?"

The doctor paused for a moment before saying, "I can use external force to forcibly awaken him, but the poison has already penetrated his lungs. Even if someone detoxifies him later, his lifespan will be severely affected."

Governor Mo pressed on, "One year?"

The doctor replied cautiously, "You need to take good care of yourself."

Commander Mo knew that the man could survive for another year. He ordered the doctors to do their best to revive him, then left to discuss the next steps with his military advisor.

Mo Ruzhen was also very happy to hear the news. She immediately took Xie Changqian's arm affectionately and said, "Let's go too. This good news must be notified to Concubine Wu as soon as possible."
