NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 95 Preparing to go to the capital
Ning Xiao walked on the street and looked at the victims lying on both sides of the street or leaning against the wall. He didn't have much compassion in his heart. It wasn't that Ning Xiao was cruel and had seen too much humanity in the last days. These people had not yet reached the stage of being punished. When they are cornered, they are just as cruel and ruthless.
Moreover, this snow disaster is not very big. This snow disaster is only a few dozen villages around the town that were severely affected. The rest of the places are not a big problem. Therefore, Ning Xiao suspects An Xiao was responsible for the court's disaster relief. Wang and Duanwang's party deliberately exaggerated to ask the court to provide disaster relief, and they could take advantage of the situation and use the food to line their own pockets. Of course, these are just Ning Xiao's guesses now.
However, Ning Xiao felt that his guess was not wrong, because he now understood the surrounding disasters. The small town did not cause any panic because of the snow disaster, but remained calm. However, he could not so.
After Prince Duan arrived, he still took out food and gave porridge to the victims, and also set up tents for these victims, allowing them to live in the tents temporarily. This also allowed the victims to survive, so let's talk about these things. Although according to Ning Xiao's guess, King An and King Duan had enriched themselves, the victims were indeed resettled, so Ning Xiao could not say that they had done something wrong.
When they arrived at the snack shop of Uncle Chen’s son-in-law, Uncle Chen’s son-in-law didn’t recognize Ning Xiao because Ning Xiao was wearing makeup. Ning Xiao ordered two dishes and a bottle of wine and sat alone. Eating and drinking began in the corner.
At this time, Ning Xiao was not hungry at all. He came here mainly to find out some news about Prince Duan. You must know that such a small town is prosperous and lively, but after all, it is just a small town. Now in the eyes of many people , Prince Duan, who is extremely noble in the capital, came to the town. Naturally, there were a lot of comments and topics about Prince Duan.
Ning Xiao thought this way, and then came to the snack shop, hoping to find out some news about Prince Duan, but in the end he was disappointed. How could these ordinary people know more detailed things? Most of them were just hearsay. , cannot be done accurately.
In the blink of an eye, time has come to the end of the year. Today is already the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow will be the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month. Prince Duan Wang, who came to provide disaster relief, has also rushed back to the capital with his people to celebrate the New Year. Ning Xiao is here with Duan Wang. Before the prince left, he secretly gave him a medicine that could slowly paralyze people.
Based on the words of the merchants, Ning Xiao knew that Prince Duan was very popular with Prince Duan and Princess Duan. Ning Xiao remembered the unwillingness of the original owner and directly gave him this medicine. This medicine was the same as in his previous life. In modern times, my nephew Shitou bought it from abroad. This medicine can slowly numb people's nerves and eventually paralyze the whole body.
It is a neurological drug and a poison. In the previous life, I was reading a book and saw the introduction of this drug, so I asked Shitou to buy some for me abroad. At that time, my nephew was very filial to me. But when he heard that he asked him to buy this medicine, he was also shocked. He just wanted to go to other worlds to do tasks in the future, and maybe he would be able to use it some time, so he asked his nephew to buy it. Some. Later, after a lot of effort, my nephew bought some for himself.
However, there is not much of this medicine, only enough for ten people. Now Prince Duan is the first person to try it, and Ning Xiao just wants to see how long it will take for him to enter the paralysis stage.
It's not that Ning Xiao is cruel and doesn't care about blood and family ties, but the mission given to him by his original owner is to make King Duan and Princess Duan suffer, so starting from their favorite son would have a good effect. Another one, King An and King Duan want to rebel. So it would not be a bad idea to get rid of one of their helpers now.
When the time comes when they raise the banner of rebellion, it will be over. You must know that when a war occurs, the people who suffer are civilians. Now I am a civilian.
Prince Duan has left, but the porridge shed outside the town is still giving out porridge. At this time, these victims can only wait for the arrival of spring next year. Mainly because it is too cold and there is no way to build a house, so they can only live in In the tent in the town, he eats two meals of porridge every morning and evening, so thin that his silhouette can be seen, to extend his life.
Uncle Chen also asked Ning Xiao specifically about whether Ning Xiao would go home for the New Year, and Ning Xiao smiled bitterly.
"I want you to know that I have no family, I am alone, and I am homeless wherever I go. I will spend the New Year here this year."
With that said, Ning Xiao took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Uncle Chen.
"Uncle, take this money and buy more new year's goods."
Time passed quickly, and the year passed in the blink of an eye. Ning Xiao looked at the snow that had begun to melt. He knew that he was about to enter Beijing. At this time, some anxious merchants in the town had already begun to prepare for their departure. Many merchants have been stopped here by the heavy snow this time. Now that the snow has begun to melt, it will only take seven or eight days before the road can be walked.
It's not that these merchants don't want to go home, but nowadays they are carrying a lot of goods. People can find ways to leave, but these goods have cost money. If they are thrown away, the losses will be huge, so they are also very worried. Reluctantly, I stayed in the small town to spend the New Year.
Because the town is located near the capital, and the capital is located in the central and northern part of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, it is considered a northern place. Winters are cold and spring comes much later than in places south of the Yangtze River.
It was not until the end of the first year that Ning Xiao said goodbye to Uncle Chen and left with Xiao Linzi in a caravan to the capital. Xiao Linzi was the waiter at the inn. During the Chinese New Year, Ning Xiao told him about his desire. He hired him to follow him, firstly to run errands, and secondly, to go out and see some things. In the end, Xiao Linzi agreed to Ning Xiao's proposal, and then he planned to follow Ning Xiao to the capital.
In fact, Ning Xiao was very puzzled by the defensive awareness of people in this era. They actually believed in someone he had only known for a month or two. Not only Xiao Linzi, but also Xiao Linzi's family, they all believed in him.
This time when he went to the capital, Ning Xiao bought two horses from a caravan. He and Xiao Linzi had one horse each. The main reason was that it was quite a distance from the capital and walking was impractical, so he bought two horses. Come for transportation, but these two horses are horse horses, which are horses for pulling goods. The owner of the caravan said that if you want to buy good horses, you need to go to the capital.
