Chapter 42: Si Chaoqun

Seeing the boy who was unconscious due to fever, Si Chaoqun had to go this time.

He made some mental construction before pushing out the door.

As soon as he reached the gate, he saw Qiao Zhenwu walking over wearing a tattered bamboo hat.

When Qiao Zhenwu saw Si Chaoqun, it was like seeing a savior: “What is Chaoqun doing?”

Si Chaoqun bravely shouted: “Brother-in-law.”

Then he said: “I’m going to go to your place to ask for some liquor.”

Qiao Zhenwu pulled him and walked into the east room very familiarly.

Based on Si Chaoqun’s memory of the person in front of him, he was just a master who never went to others without reason. Especially if he came so late, there must be something urgent.

Si Chaoqun planned to see what Qiao Zhenwu did first before asking for liquor.

Qiao Zhenwu did not rush to ask, but pretended to be concerned and asked: “Chaoqun, are you greedy for wine?”

Si Chaoqun waved his hand: “No, no, no.”

He imitated the tone of the ancients and said: “My son has caught wind and cold and has been suffering from high fever all day. I was worried that the child would die from the fever, so I thought of a home remedy, using white wine. I’ll wipe some to his hands and feet to reduce the fever, so I thought about asking my sister for some liquor to try.”

“I see. Well, I still have some liquor there. I’ll have someone bring it to you later.” Qiao Zhenwu seemed particularly generous today.

This made Si Chaoqun relieved. It was better to have someone bring it than to be pestered by that cheap sister for ideas.

Seeing that Qiao Zhenwu didn’t say anything for a long time, he took the initiative to ask: “Brother-in-law, you are here late at night, must there be something wrong?”

Speaking of this, Qiao Zhenwu immediately became serious.

“Brother-in-law, it’s raining.”

Si Chaoqun was a little confused: “Isn’t rain a good thing?”

Qiao Zhenwu smiled bitterly: “Rain is indeed a good thing for everyone in the world, but it’s a disaster for us…”

Immediately afterward, Qiao Zhenwu told Si Chaoqun about the recent events and finally asked: “You usually have the best ideas. What do you think we should do, so that we can avoid disaster?”

Si Chaoqun knew that this cheap man’s visit late at night was definitely up to no good. He was here to ask for advice.

It was a pity that he was not the original owner of the body, and didn’t have so many crooked ideas.

He and his wife Luo Xuehua died in a car accident. He thought that after walking around the underworld and drinking a bowl of Meng Po’s soup, they would be reincarnated. However, they don’t know whether they took the wrong path or what, their souls passed through the ancient times. When they got here, they became a pair of husband and wife with similar names.

In the past few days since their arrival, the couple has understood their current situation through the memories of their original owners.

The two of them also knew that once Prince Rong freed up his hands to look for them, they would all lose their heads.

Both Si Chaoqun and Luo Xuehua felt that they were extremely wronged. Not to mention, that they were not the original owners, and had never done such treacherous things. Even if they were their original owners, they would at least committed the crime of deceiving.

The original owner had indeed deceived Qiao Zhenwu and escaped with those officials.

As long as Qiao Zhenwu was willing to escape, he would take their family of three with him. When the time comes, they will not have to stay in Qiushui City to wait for death or embark on the road to escape.

Qiao Zhenwu led his family of three to leave Qiushui City as expected.

After settling in the village, he just arranged a small courtyard for their family to live in, and then ignored them and allowed them to fend for themselves.

Fortunately, the original owner had some money and purchased a large amount of grain before the drought became severe, so they could barely survive until now.

Since he hid here with Qiao Zhenwu, he didn’t use a single cent of Qiushui City’s public account money. He could completely remove his family from the whole incident, and there was no need to continue associating with him. If he hangs out with Qiao Zhenwu and those officials, they will not end up well in the end.

This was the result of several days of discussion between Si Chaoqun and Luo Xuehua after they came here.

They planned to take the original owner’s only son Si Yu away in the next two days while the night was dark and windy.

Unexpectedly, Si Yu caught the cold at this critical moment.

Both of them were souls from civilized society. Not to mention that Si Yu and the two were physically related by blood. Even if they were not, they would not be able to abandon a child and leave him alone.

Because of this, Si Chaoqun and Luo Xuehua’s research plan was temporarily shelved.

With such a plan, Si Chaoqun would naturally not continue to collude with Qiao Zhenwu and others. He would just listen to Qiao Zhenwu’s questions.

In front of Qiao Zhenwu, Si Chaoqun continued to maintain the character of the original protagonist.

“Brother-in-law, this matter is very special. How about you give me some time to think about it?”

Qiao Zhenwu also knew that this matter was not simple, and it was not surprising at all that Si Chaoqun said this.

But he didn’t hear the answer he wanted to give, so he still felt uneasy: “Chaoqun, you must think of a good idea about this matter. As long as we succeed and avoid this disaster, I will not you live in vain.”

Si Chaoqun turned his head towards Qiao Zhenwu and rolled his eyes.

He couldn’t help complaining in my heart: The original owner has been with you for 2 years, and his family has been self-sufficient. He didn’t receive a single penny. I’m afraid that after you get out of trouble, the first thing you do is dump our family.

Although he cursed in his heart, Si Chaoqun didn’t show it on his face: “Brother-in-law, don’t worry, I will come up with a solution as soon as possible.”

Qiao Zhenwu stood up with satisfaction: “Okay, I’ll leave this to you. It’s late, I’ll go back now, and I’ll send someone to bring wine later.”

Because Qiao Zhenwu wanted to ask for help, he didn’t delay this matter this time. As soon as he left, the wine was delivered.

It was just the wine was really poor.

The wine jar was quite big, but……

Aside from the small amount, there was another big problem, the ancient wine was not that strong. Judging from Si Chaoqun’s experience, this wine didn’t even reach three degrees.

There was no way, given the circumstances, it was not easy to get wine in this special period.

The two worked together to help Si Yu wipe his hands and feet.

For a moment, in the meeting hall of Prince Rong’s mansion.

Qi Mohan has not summoned his men to discuss matters here for a long time. However, because the rain fell from the sky today, many things must be arranged in advance.

Especially those officials who fled with the money. As expected, because of the rain, those people were frightened and must be studying how to avoid being captured.

If they continue to delay and do not take action, he is afraid that those people will find a new hiding place, and it will be difficult to catch them again.
