Just as the sky was dawn, Xiao Wang got up.

He basically didn't sleep all night.

Because his family was poor and had no money to buy horses, he hurried to Brother Wang's house. No matter what, he wanted to ask Sheng Fengxue.

He is a branch of the Wang family, and Brother Wang is the direct descendant of the Wang family. Although both of them have surnames Wang, their place of residence is very different.

The two families are on the same street, far apart.

Because Xiao Wang is a side branch, he is upright and unpleasant, so he lives in a shaky tiled house.

Because Brother Wang is a direct descendant, he is very sleek in dealing with people and is extremely good at pleaseing others, so he lives in a large mansion.

Because he felt that Xiao Wang was too disgraceful to the Wang family, he never allowed Xiao Wang to call him cousin in front of outsiders.

Xiao Wang called the lantern and walked to Brother Wang's house anxiously. He turned several intersections and saw a woman lying on the ground trembling.

This is the woman who was beaten to death by the government during the day, and her child was seriously ill and had to sell her body.

Xiao Wang had already left, thinking not to cause trouble again, so he walked up to the front and thought about it, and then retreated.

The woman didn't make any money today, so she had no money to stay in the inn and could only stay in this small corner. Because it was too cold, she was already sick from freezing.

Xiao Wang leaned over and touched her forehead, confirming that he was really sick, so he woke her up vigorously.

The woman woke up in a daze and was shocked to see Xiao Wang. Just when she was so scared that she was about to escape, Xiao Wang said gently: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

The woman looked at him tremblingly, afraid of being beaten during the day, and now she is very scared when she sees people, especially when she sees men.

However, this person in front of him cannot be called a man, he should be called a teenager.

Judging from the clothes on your body, your family conditions must be very average.

"I think you seem to be sick. I have a doctor I know. Do you want to see her?" Xiao Wang said gently, afraid of scaring her.

Of course, it costs money to see a doctor. The woman was so scared that she quickly covered her wallet, which only had a few copper plates and a few taels of broken silver.

Those taels of silver were sold out. I originally thought of making more money in a big place like Zhen'an, and then going back to see the child, but I didn't expect that I not only did not make money, but also got beaten up.

"Mother-in-law doesn't charge any money for her treatment," Xiao Wang comforted her and said, he probably knew what she was thinking. "When you recover from your illness, you just need to help her pick herbs, shed the herbs or help anything else."

"Really?" the woman said happily.

Xiao Wang nodded and said, "What am I lying to you? You will know if you go and take a look."

After saying that, he pointed to the direction of his home, and then said, "You go to this side, and then you see a few sycamore trees. Then you will knock on a door if you turn around, and then there will be a mother-in-law inside."

"But it's a bit too early for you to go now. My mother-in-law usually gets up very late," said Xiao Wang. "If you really want to go, it's best to wait until the sun comes out in the morning. My mother-in-law is not in good health and is not very convenient to move."

"My name is Ayu," the woman nodded, very grateful to Xiao Wang, "Dare you ask the young master Gao's name?"

Xiao Wang waved his hand and said awkwardly: "I'm not a young man, I'm just a choreographer in the yamen."

Hearing the word "yamen", Ayu screamed, which scared Xiao Wang.

"What?" Xiao Wang asked curiously.

"Are you a member of the yamen?" Ayu said hatefully, "There are no good people in the officials!"

Xiao Wang scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I am not an official, I am just a jailer, the kind who works chores in the county government and can't do anything."

"Even if I become an official, I will not harm anyone." Xiao Wang continued.

"Really?" A Yu asked in disbelief, "You really won't harm others?"

Xiao Wang thought for a while and said, "I'm going to save people now. Do you want to go with me?"

After saying that, he glanced at Ayu, thought for a while and said, "I think it's better to forget it. You are not in good health. Don't walk around for the time being. Go and find your mother-in-law. When it's dawn, she will come to open the door by herself."

"A little problem, just sleep," Ayu got up from the ground and said to Xiao Wang, "Since you ask your mother-in-law to help me, I will help you. If you have anything you want to do, tell me to do it, and I will definitely do it."

Xiao Wang thought for a while and said, "Please help me see those two children. They should be very anxious if they don't get the news."

"Where is the child?" Ayu asked.

Xiao Wang told the place where he helped Sheng Fengxue, and then drew a map on the ground to Ayu. Ayu said that he remembered it. Xiao Wang stuffed the lantern to Ayu, and then continued to walk towards Brother Wang's house.

The two parted ways and walked in different directions.

The chickens crowed, and the people from Brother Wang's family had not yet risen. Xiao Wang was anxiously knocking on the door and no one responded. He could only squat in the corner of the wall and waited until dawn until someone opened the door and came out.

When he saw that it was his guard at the gate, he was shocked.

Because it was him, the servants ignored him. The maid who came out with dirty water poured the water directly in front of him, and then turned around and went in.

"I'm here to find Brother Wang." Xiaoyu said to the maid.

The maid didn't turn her head and replied, "He hasn't gotten up yet. You're looking for him so early, what's wrong? Can't you come back later? If you mess with him, he will be angry and we all have no time."

This maid is telling the truth.

Because of helping the master do things, Brother Wang knows a lot of things, so the people in Zhen'an are very respectful to him. Except for those with high status like Xi Lingling, most people will give him some face.

Xiao Wang knew what bad things his cousin was doing, but there was no evidence. Even if there was evidence, he would not dare to expose it because he was too timid and he had his mother-in-law and others to raise him.

"He should be getting up soon, right?" Xiao Wang asked, "I will go in and look for him by myself, and I won't implicate you, sister."

The maid left without looking back, just pretending to be a default.

Xiao Wang sighed and walked towards Brother Wang's yard.

Sure enough, the yard was silent, not even a single person. I guess Brother Wang hadn't gotten up, so he walked over and knocked on Brother Wang's door.

Brother Wang was sleeping in a daze. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he couldn't help but shout: "Who is outside? I keep knocking on the door, which is so annoying."

Xiao Wang continued to knock on the door persistently.

"What are you knocking? Is it because the sky fell or who died?" Brother Wang turned over irritably, "If you have anything, can't you wait for dawn before you talk about it? It's so noisy, get out of here!"

Although Brother Wang is a junior of the Wang family, because he is favored in the yamen, even the elders of the Wang family will be respectful to him.

"Cousin, it's me," Xiao Wang said in a low voice, "I'm asking you for something."

Brother Wang didn't hear correctly in the room, but he still heard Xiao Wang's voice. He didn't want to see him at all, so he shouted loudly: "Get out quickly, I'll disturb me to sleep, do you know?"

"If you don't get out, be careful I'll find someone to beat you." Brother Wang threatened.
