Chapter 517 Something Happened in the North
Chapter 517 Something Happened in the North
"Something happened in the north?" Something very urgent must have happened, as Xiao Wenye ignored etiquette and went looking for someone in the middle of the night.
If I think about it a little, the only major event that could be related to Shan Li or the General's Mansion is probably something happening in the north.
"Sister-in-law is so smart!" Before Xiao Wenye revealed a word, this person had already guessed it.
This ability of calculation and sharpness is truly amazing!
No wonder even someone like Yun Zhi, who is not interested in women, fell for her.
"Tell me, what happened?" Song Qingci brought the person directly into the house. When she entered the house, she also knocked out the maid who was on duty at night.
After Yin Xing got married, the little maid who was on night watch in the yard was newly transferred. There were some things that Song Qingci was worried about her knowing.
So this is perfect now.
"What exactly is going on?" Song Qingci lit an oil lamp, and the room instantly became bright.
"Normally, in early winter, people from Dayan should come to the border in groups to plunder. However, this year, there was no movement at the border until after the Chinese New Year."
When Song Qingci heard this, his heart sank.
Things that have a traceable path are often not very scary.
By following the track, most of the time problems can be prevented before they occur.
However, once the original trajectory is broken, things will generally go to two extremes.
Given Dayan's character, it is impossible for him to suddenly turn to goodness and devote himself to Buddhism.
Then the only possibility left is that there is a bigger conspiracy going on.
"Have my father and the others noticed anything?" The father Song Qingci mentioned was naturally not her biological father, but her father-in-law.
I have never met Dan Xin even once since we got married.
Xiao Wenye nodded, "It was Uncle Shan who asked me to come back to find Yunzhi."
"I recently went to the border for a medicinal herb, and because of the New Year's Day, I also went to the military camp. This is the message that Uncle Shan asked me to pass on."
"As soon as he discovered the abnormality, Uncle Shan wrote a letter to report to His Majesty, but he has not received a reply from the court. I think something went wrong with the letter on the way. Uncle Shan asked me to come here in person. He said he would continue to contact the court. We also let Yunzhi know the situation in advance."
It's a good thing that the border guards have noticed it.
At least you won't end up with an unbearable consequence without any clear idea.
"Is there anything else?" Song Qingci didn't relax at all. His mind was still clear.
If it was just this kind of military intelligence, it wouldn't be enough for Xiao Wenye to bring it home in the middle of the night.
Now Xiao Wenye no longer feels surprised.
If Yunzhi's wife were a man, she would definitely achieve great things in the court.
"I discovered something very strange on my way back. In every prefecture, county, and village I passed by, people were harvesting large quantities of Panax notoginseng and ground beetles."
"In previous years, we also encountered people collecting medicines like this, but they just wanted to hoard them and raise the prices. However, this year, except for these two, all other medicines are normal. In addition, there are too many people collecting medicines and the quantity is too large."
Song Qingci knows about medicine.
The Panax notoginseng and Scolopendra subspinipes mentioned by Xiao Wenye are both medicines for external injuries. Panax notoginseng stops bleeding, while Scolopendra subspinipes heal bones.
These two medicines are very common. Even if you want to stockpile medicines and sell them at high prices, you would not consider buying these two medicines. There are better options.
Angelica dahurica and Salvia miltiorrhiza are more profitable than these two.
In other words, Xiao Wenye came from Yaowang Valley and was more sensitive to matters related to medicine.
If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't be able to see anything.
