I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 172 It’s you

Shen Xiaoye saw the hatred that flashed in her eyes and was very confused. Could it be that Aunt Yuan’s husband had deliberately abandoned his family?

"Miss, you don't know, but after my husband went to take the exam, there was no news. At first, no one in the family knew about it, but after a while, all kinds of rumors spread.

Gradually, we couldn't even get any food, and we had to use the dowry to barely get by." Yuan couldn't tell anyone about it, because she couldn't say that her husband's brother and sister-in-law persuaded her parents-in-law to remarry and accept a betrothal gift because her husband had been missing for five years.

She said: "Tomorrow, even if I find a husband, I can't rely on him alone to support the family.

Besides, if it's not...Mr. Lu doesn't need a cook for the time being, I still have to find a job."

"Aunt Yuan, everything will be fine." Shen Xiaoye suddenly had an idea and said, "Do you want to earn more money?"

"Of course." Money can't do everything, but it can do 99% of things in life.

Shen Xiaoye said: "I can sell my cloth to you in small quantities when I have time, for example, in the morning or evening when I am not working.

You also saw last night that the uncles and aunts working in the outer city liked the low-priced cloth very much.

You can then ask them to introduce customers and give them a few cents after each transaction, and you can probably sell a lot.

I will give you the same price as I give to the cloth merchant, and we will settle the bill after the sale."

"Miss, you are kind and righteous, so of course I am willing to do it." As for letting others benefit from it, Yuan would not do that.

Shen Xiaoye didn't know what she was thinking. Even if she knew, she wouldn't have known and she didn't have time to hesitate, because her uncle was out for a walk and actually brought back two customers who wanted to buy cloth.

When the two men each took away a hundred horses, she couldn't help but look at her uncle with admiration, "Great! Do you want to go for a walk on the street a few more times?"

"No need, these two are the owners of a legitimate cloth shop, not just picked up on the street." The uncle touched her head, "Xiaoye, we are not in a hurry to make money.

You spend all your time trying to sell cloth, but you haven't grown any bigger."

"I've grown taller because I keep practicing martial arts and I eat well." Shen Xiaoye refused to admit that she was short.

She said, "We still have more than 200 pieces of cloth. Let's try to sell them all so we can go home.

Uncle, when I saw my fourth uncle today, he mentioned that he was very busy with spring ploughing. I can’t remember the earliest time we started ploughing last year.”

"The weather is very cold in the first month of the year near the mountains, so we usually choose to plow the land in February, mainly to cover the surface for topdressing." Last year, Shen Changshou was not at home for spring plowing, so he didn't know the exact time and could only estimate it.

But he quickly responded, quickly closed the door and asked in a low voice: "Depart in February?"

Shen Xiaoye nodded slightly: "Maybe he didn't have time to go back to the village to say goodbye to his grandparents.

What I mean is to bring them to Beijing to meet my fourth uncle."

"As I should." Shen Changshou chatted with her for a few more words, and Xuan Shen came to report that there was a messenger outside, "He said he was here to look for Miss Shen."

Shen Xiaoye went out with his uncle, wanting to see what the messenger looked like.

A soldier who was 1.9 meters tall stood in front of her. She craned her neck to look at him and suddenly felt really short.

"So, you want Xiaoye to go with you?" Although the uncle also looked up at the other party, he released an aura of having seen blood, which seemed to suppress the soldier instead.

The soldier said, "We always give instructions like this.

I also asked Brother Bian to escort us into the camp."

The so-called battalion commander is a military officer of the five military camps. In addition to high-ranking generals and camp officers, the grassroots battalion commander has four to five hundred people under him.

"I'll go with you." My uncle was worried, but under his insistence, the soldiers could not force him to stay at home.

It was not until everyone arrived outside the camp again that the soldiers discovered that the captain had allowed my uncle to enter the camp.

The place here was very big. Shen Xiaoye walked for a long time and his stomach was rumbling before he finally arrived at a yard.

The guards outside the yard were very strict, and they were allowed to enter only after going through layers of checks.

For example, Bian Xian did not need to be inspected because no superior had ordered him to enter.

Shen Xiaoye and her uncle were actually taken to a detention room that smelled of blood.

Feng Jiu was tied to a rack, his clothes had been torn into strips, blood was oozing out, and his head was drooping.

Uncle Shen said softly, "If you are not comfortable with this, please report it."

“No, I stayed, he asked to see me by name.

If I leave, I will be looked down upon." Although she shuddered with discomfort in her heart, Shen Xiaoye's eyes showed persistence.

As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Jiu on the shelf heard Shen Xiaoye's voice, suddenly raised his head, looked at her and sneered.

"Is it you?" The uncle recognized the other person.

Shen Xiaoye asked: "I'm here, you can talk now."

Feng Jiu curled his lips but it agitated his wound, he sighed secretly and said: "I am not a traitor, but the son of the personal guard of the Dragon and Phoenix Emperor of the previous dynasty.

The Great Zhou's great ancestor killed the Dragon and Phoenix Emperor and his guards. Shouldn't I avenge my father?"

"Shut up, my great ancestor is wise and brave, he would not do such a thing." Sun Mi came up and whipped him a few times, and the captain also said: "Hit him hard."

They only knew from the middle-aged eunuchs who had left the palace that the two had met three times, and each time the eunuch would tell Feng Jiu where their side had transferred troops from.

Although there is no specific number of people, the name of the team leader is available, and this kind of information is also very fatal.

When encountering an enemy with whom you have fought for many years, you will be able to predict many things based on the character of the person leading the troops and their combat characteristics.

Now, they wanted to ask Fengjiu what other sources he got his information from.

But this man was too stubborn to confess. After he finally asked to see someone, he said some outrageous words. He always wanted to get credit instead of talking nonsense.

So he would rather teach his subordinates a severe lesson.

However, Fengjiu had already taken many beatings, and after a few moments of beating, he actually fainted.

Shen Xiaoye boldly stepped forward, "Brother Sun, how about giving him some medicine?"

"He doesn't deserve it." Sun Mi couldn't tolerate anyone saying anything bad about Taizu.

Shen Xiaoye added: "The dead can't open their mouths."

Sun Mi threw down the whip soaked in salt water and went up to talk to the captain. The latter agreed after only half a minute of consideration.

When the doctor came in to treat the wound, Shen Changshou whispered to Shen Xiaoye, "Xiaoye, he looks like Uncle Gu, and he is a descendant of the rebel army, could there really be a connection?

If this is about taking care of my family, I can’t ignore my feelings.”

Shen Xiaoye immediately told him: "Uncle, he sent a message to Da Zi. If it succeeds, many soldiers will be ambushed.

Grandpa Gu, do you have anything to prove your identity?"

"Xiao Ye, let's not get involved in this kind of thing." Shen Changshou couldn't get over it.

Shen Xiaoye nodded when he heard it, "Uncle, I've already gotten involved. If you can't bear it, I'll ask."

"Let me tell you, you shouldn't have gotten close to him just now." Shen Changshou felt that she was too young to see these things.

Shen Xiaoye did not argue, but waited for Feng Jiu to wake up. She quickly approached him and asked, "You asked me to come here just to wash off the two words on your label?"

"No, I just want to ask you to help me find the place where my father was buried after I hand over the source of the information, and then send me to accompany him."
