Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate

Chapter 5

Jiang Yunzhu knew that man because his reputation was too great.

Shen Fengming, the son of Princess Danyang, the nephew of the current emperor.

Speaking of him, one cannot fail to mention the Qilin Guard he is in charge of. It is probably similar to the Jin Yiwei in the Ming Dynasty. It directly obeys the emperor’s orders and has the power of guarding, investigating, and jailing.

The qilin guards of all dynasties have made everyone’s expressions change, but when it comes to Shen Fengming’s place, it is even more frightening and chills.

Wherever he goes, those places where corruption and law-breaking, gangsterism and self-interest will inevitably flow like rivers of blood, so everyone mentions him in private and tells him not to stay, which shows that he has a strong reputation.

In the dream, Jiang Yunzhu had seen him before, when he suddenly came to the Lin Mansion and proposed to stay in the mansion for a few days.

No one in the Lin family knows his name. When he came to the door, it was like the king of Hades came to the door. Everyone suddenly felt that a catastrophe was imminent. Even Jiang Yunzhu thought that the Lin family was going to play tricks, and wondered how she would survive if she became a criminal. .

During that time, the Lin family was really gloomy, and even Lin Ting’an was in doubt every day.

Who would have thought that one day, he would leave suddenly, quietly.

Everyone in the Lin family couldn’t believe it, this **** of killing just left. At first they thought that he was leading the snake out of the hole, so they cast doubts.

But who would have thought that after a month, the mansion was still calm, but there was news from the capital that he had returned to the capital.

It was only then that the people in Lin’s residence believed that Shen Fengming had really let them go, and they were safe.

Survival after the catastrophe, ecstatic!

Because of this, Marquis Anping finally nodded and agreed, and asked Lin Ting’an to officially marry him as his wife, making her the young wife of the Marquis.

So speaking of it, Jiang Yunzhu was also in his favor in the dream.

As for why he suddenly came to the door and why he left, it has always been a mystery.

Jiang Yunzhu’s feeling for him is just one word, fear. Especially thinking that they are refugees now, that is, people who have no way to lead a hundred miles away from their household registration. When they met Shen Fengming, it was like a mouse meeting a cat.

Now she only hopes that Shen Fengming’s pedestrians will leave quickly.

But the sky didn’t seem to hear her call, the pedestrians actually slowed down as they got closer to the shop, as if they were going to hit the tip here.

The shop owner was both happy and nervous when he saw the big business.

Jiang Yunzhu was thinking, is it too late for them to leave now?

It was too late, those qilin guards were very fast, they had already arrived in front of the small shop, they got off their horses one by one, looking well-trained.

“Boss, bring some pots of hot tea and some food. We are in a hurry. By the way, the horses have to be fed and drunk, and your money is indispensable.” A tall man walked towards the store while facing the store. said the boss.

His name is Yang Sheng, and he is Shen Fengming’s deputy.

“Yes, yes.” The owner of the shop hurriedly agreed, and arranged for someone to feed the horses, while he wiped the tea on the table and urged the kitchen to hurry up.

The shop is not big, there are only seven or eight tables, two tables of guests, and the guests at that table have almost eaten. Seeing such a group of people, they immediately checked out and left, leaving only Jiang Yunzhu and others in the shop.

Not long after Jiang Yunzhu and the others arrived, they hadn’t finished their tea and were hesitating when those Qilin guards came in and huh-la-la filled all the remaining tables, blocking them directly at the table in the corner.

As for Shen Fengming, he was sitting at a table on the other side, and Yang Sheng was the only one on his table.

This small shop only makes steamed buns, steamed buns, and some simple cold dishes. These things are convenient. After a while, several baskets of steamed buns and a few dishes of cold dishes are placed on each table.

“Or, let’s go too.” Surrounded by such a group of people full of evil spirits, Father Xu said to Jiang Cheng in a low voice, his calf twisted.

Jiang Cheng was also afraid of causing trouble, so he nodded and wanted to find a gap to go to the shop owner to pay the bill.

At this moment, Yang Sheng spat out a mouthful of water. He was extremely thirsty, so after getting the tea bowl, he couldn’t wait to take a big sip, but is this tea? Chinese herbal soup is about the same.

“Shopkeeper, storekeeper.” He held up a tea bowl and called the shopkeeper.

The shop owner came out in a hurry, “What, guest officer.”

“What is this?” Yang Sheng asked. His clothes and appearance are not angry or intimidating.

The shop owner’s legs were weak, and he looked at the tea bowl in his hand, “Tea.” He stammered.

“Is this tea? Why does it smell strange?” Yang Sheng asked.

The shop owner heard what he said, and looked at their dusty appearance, and guessed, “Everyone came from afar, right? The water in Changfeng Mansion tastes like this.”

Without waiting for Yang Sheng to ask, he continued, “The water in Changfeng Mansion didn’t taste like this. Isn’t it a severe drought for two years? Sheung Shui is good, who cares if it tastes good or not.”

“Is the drought in Changfeng Mansion very serious?” A clear voice suddenly asked, it was Shen Fengming.

“Serious, why not serious, the common people are almost dying. Especially this year’s locust plague, that’s…” The shop owner opened a shop here, and he has never seen anything coming and going every day. Speaking of this year’s disaster, he sighed endlessly. .

“Didn’t the imperial court distribute rice grains for disaster relief?” Shen Fengming’s voice became colder.

“Rice grain? Maybe it was distributed elsewhere, but I didn’t see it anyway,” said the shop owner.

Shen Fengming looked at Jiang Yunzhu and the others. In this store, apart from the owner, they were the only ones left, and seeing that they were dragging their families, they seemed to be victims of disasters.

Yang Sheng understood, and immediately came to Jiang Yunzhu and the others.

Jiang Yunzhu’s scalp was numb, she was really afraid of something.

Father Xu and the others also became nervous.

Yang Sheng walked to Jiang Yunzhu’s table, but was attracted by the vase that was filtering the water. What is it?

He looked carefully, and saw that it was just an ordinary broken vase, but dirty water flowed in from above, and clean water came out.

He picked up the vase, weighed it, and poured the contents of the vase on the ground.

A layer of pebbles, a layer of coarse sand, a layer of fine sand, and a layer of charcoal, and finally a bit of cotton wool and a layer of cotton cloth.

What a neat thing.

It’s not that the Xia Dynasty doesn’t have clean water. Like their Qilinwei, they use a kind of pill made of alum. When they encounter dirty water in the wild, they use one.

In addition, he has seen water washing method, stone washing method, etc., but he has never seen such a simple and delicate method, and the effect seems to be better.

He reached out and took a tea bowl from the side, and scooped a bowl from the bucket below. Sure enough, the water was extremely clear.

Take a sip, there is no peculiar smell at all.

“Who made this?” He asked curiously.

Jiang Cheng and the others all looked at Jiang Yunzhu.

“It’s me.” Jiang Yunzhu could only reply.

Yang Sheng looked at her, but his eyes lit up, he didn’t notice that there were so many people just now, there was such a girl in this small shop, her eyes were clear and eager, like a weed in water.

“How did you come up with that?” he asked.

Naturally, it was improved by later generations based on the experience of the predecessors, but Jiang Yunzhu didn’t dare to say that, and said what he had told Jiang Cheng and the others before, that is, he heard some old people in the village mention it, so he decided to try it. Try it, I didn’t expect it to work.

Yang Sheng has been traveling all over the world for so many years, and has seen many strange people and strange things. He was not too surprised when he heard the words, but felt that Jiang Yunzhu had a clever mind.

“May I have some water for tea?” he asked.

“Okay.” Jiang Yunzhu dared not say a word.

Yang Sheng directly handed the filtered water to the shopkeeper, and gave him a bag of tea leaves, asking him to make some tea quickly.

“By the way, serve them some steamed stuffed buns and side dishes, and charge them to my account.” He ordered the shopkeeper again.

The shopkeeper went there immediately, and after a while, he brought a few baskets of buns and five or six dishes of side dishes on Jiang Yunzhu’s table.

The steaming steamed buns are white and big. Through the thin skin, the filling inside can be faintly seen, tender and rosy.

A dish of five-spice bean curd, a dish of peanuts in old vinegar, a dish of sliced salted duck eggs with burnt yellow oil inside, a dish of cold pig ears, and a dish of fragrant braised pork.

One can imagine how tempting these things are to people like Jiang Yunzhu who eat cold pancakes and drink cold water every day.

Even Father Xu couldn’t remember when was the last time he ate braised pork.

Jiang Wu and the other children stared straight at the white and fat buns, wishing they could swallow them in one gulp.

Fortunately, Mrs. Chen and Jiang Cheng had taught them the word of politeness, they all held back and did not touch the food.

“You’re welcome, eat it, and treat this as a gift from me using your water. By the way, I messed up your things.” Yang Sheng turned around and said to the shopkeeper, “A few more steamed buns.” He found out, These few cages of buns were not enough for Jiang Yunzhu and the others.

The shopkeeper brought up four or five baskets again, filling up the tables. Now, almost everyone had a basket of steamed stuffed buns in front of them.

The unique sweet fragrance of wheat penetrated into everyone’s hearts.

Yang Sheng made a gesture of invitation.

Father Xu and the others couldn’t make up their minds, they looked at Jiang Yunzhu, the vase belonged to her, and so did the water.

Jiang Yunzhu felt that it was better to follow Yang Sheng’s lead, so she said to him, “Thank you.” Then she said softly to Father Xu and the others, “I’m so kind, let’s eat.” After finishing speaking, she picked up a steamed stuffed bun first Put it in the Jiangwu bowl.

Jiang Wu looked at her, waited for affirmative eyes, and bit the bun.

The delicious gravy flowed into his mouth in an instant, and he thought it was the most delicious bun in the world.

Seeing this, other people also started to eat one after another, like a wind and a cloud.

Yang Sheng moved a chair and sat next to Jiang Yunzhu’s table, and when they were almost done eating, he asked, “Where are you going?”

With enough food and drink, and Yang Sheng didn’t look like a bad person, Dad Xu and the others were not so afraid of him, so they started talking to him.

After a while, they revealed their true self, and even said a lot of dissatisfaction with the local government.

Jiang Yunzhu tried to interrupt several times but failed. In fact, this Yang Sheng is too powerful, and his methods of inducing and manipulating confessions are top-notch. How can Father Xu and his honest people resist his cross-examination.

Jiang Yunzhu sat obediently on the chair, and now she just hoped that the people opposite would let them go because they were just ordinary people.
