Chapter 19
Shen Yuexi went out of the room, rubbed her cheeks, yawned and walked towards the outer room.

The people in the village got up early to go to the fields when they heard the rooster crowing. Mrs. Feng was busy with her work, and breakfast was ready, so I invited her to eat.

"Miss Pei is up," Mrs. Feng put the plate on the table, "Come and eat, and go to the city after eating."

The food this morning was significantly richer than yesterday. In the center of the table was a pile of fragrant scallion pancakes, a small pot of rice, two small dishes of pickles, and a large bowl of steaming vegetable soup.This is because Mrs. Feng specially improved the food in order to thank them. On weekdays, the mother and son had a clear soup with little water yesterday.

After Shen Yuexi finished grooming, she sat down at the table.Mrs. Feng put a piece of scallion pancake on the plate in front of her, with a wrinkled smile on her face:
"I baked this early in the morning to see if it suits your taste."

Shen Yuexi was not in a hurry to eat, but first divided half of the cakes to Mrs. Feng: "You eat too."

Mrs. Feng took the pancake and put it in a bowl, and looked at Shen Yuexi with a smile.This is the first time she has seen such a beautiful woman, not only treats people kindly, but also gentle and quiet, she likes it from the bottom of her heart.

Feng Zhang, who was sitting beside him, ate the pancakes and said, "Mother, I haven't eaten the scallion pancakes you made for a long time, and today I'm lucky to have Mr. Pei and Mrs. Pei."

Old Madam Feng said: "Young Master Pei saved your life, mother must cook more delicious meals."

"Miss Pei, is your husband still awake?" Feng Zhang asked Shen Yuexi while holding a spoon for rice, "Or is the wound getting worse?"

"No, he hasn't had a good rest in the past few days. Now that he is finally safe, I will let him sleep more." Shen Yuexi shook her head hurriedly, her face blushing unnaturally.

When she thought about what happened this morning, she felt very guilty.

Old Mrs. Feng nodded with a smile, and said to Feng Zhang, "He is a caring person for her husband."

Feng Zhang seemed to understand, but nodded in agreement, expressing his agreement.

She couldn't afford to praise her, thinking of Xiao Zhuo being bullied like that by her, Shen Yuexi didn't even look up, and hurriedly picked up the cake and ate it.

After eating, Feng Zhang hurriedly put the tiger skin on the car.

As soon as Shen Yuexi stepped out of the gate, she saw a tall figure standing there.

She looked at Xiao Zhuo in surprise: "Husband, when did you get up?"

I remember that when I went out, Xiao Zhuo was still in a deep sleep, after a while, he was already waiting outside the gate.

"Just started," Xiao Zhuo handed over a fence, "Take this with you."

Shen Yuexi thought for a while and understood what he meant.Ever since she knew her appearance was good, she knew that her appearance was a drag on her identity, so when Xiao Zhuo handed it over, she quickly took it and took it with her.

Pulling away a corner of Mi Li, she said to Xiao Zhuo:
"Husband, you are injured, you should go back and rest quickly."

The people in the village have already left their homes one after another. They are now fugitives and should not be seen by more people. It is better to act cautiously.

Xiao Zhuo nodded, raised his hand to straighten the fence for Shen Yuexi, and watched the two leave.

The summer is scorching hot, the cicadas are singing non-stop, and it gets hot as soon as they go out in the morning. Shen Yuexi and Feng Zhang are driving the mule cart swaying towards the city gate.

When they arrived at the county seat, Shen Yuexi noticed that it was different from entering the city last night. There was a group of officers and soldiers in silver and white soft armor in front of the city gate.

When she saw this battle, a bad feeling suddenly surged in her heart.Could it be related to Xiao Zhuo?

At this time, the mule cart was already approaching the gate of the city, and many people gathered at the gate of the city. Someone in the crowd could be heard saying loudly:

"Whoever has seen the bandit on the notice, report it as soon as possible!"

Feng Zhang said to her from outside the car: "Miss Pei, the county government is offering a reward for capturing the bandits nearby."

Hearing that bandits were being captured, Shen Yuexi felt relieved a little, patted the carriage and said, "Brother Feng, stop for a moment, I'll go down and have a look."

Feng Zhang said before that there are indeed bandits near Daliang Village.She also intends to find out, to be prepared.

Feng Zhang stopped the car, and Shen Yuexi jumped off, passed through the crowd, and squeezed forward, wanting to see what the bandit leader on the notice looked like.

When she squeezed into the middle of the crowd, someone in the crowd boldly asked: "Master County, who is this?"

I only heard someone in the crowd cough first, cleared his throat, and then said in an official tone:

"This man is a bandit who is wanted by the imperial court for a serious offence. He killed an official and escaped on the way back to Beijing from custody. He has arrived at our place. This man is extremely vicious and murderous. Please report to the imperial court if you see this man, lest he hurt you Innocent people."

"Killing officials," someone in the crowd exclaimed, "it's a heinous crime."

Shen Yuexi's heart moved, this mountain bandit was so cruel that even the officials dared to attack, it seemed that he was really a brutal and bloodthirsty person.Even the county magistrate has to come out to sit in town in person.

Then the county magistrate continued: "If anyone dares to hide the bandits, he will sit down for a while, or abandon the city if it is serious. You can remember it. Once you encounter suspicious people, report them to the government immediately."

As soon as they heard that it was a beheading, everyone hurriedly said: "Please don't worry, my lord. I am a grassroots. I dare not hide the court's re-offender. If there is any trouble, I will report it to the adults immediately."

Shen Yuexi stood in the crowd, thinking secretly.

According to the county magistrate, this bandit killed the officials on the way back to Beijing from custody, which shows that he is not the local bandit that Feng Zhang said.

She squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the notice posted on the city wall.

But before the announcement, there were many onlookers, so she could only stand on tiptoe and stretch her neck to look forward.

Her height is not short among women, but most of the men are in front of her, so she looks petite and lovely in the crowd, only the shoulders of others can be seen.

Just as he was about to jump up and look, two men spoke in front of him.

"I didn't expect such a good skin to do that illegal thing. It's a good face for nothing." A scholar shook his head regretfully.

A peddler next to him smacked his lips and said, "Now you have to look at your face to be a bandit. How can I live as a bastard."

Shen Yuexi was surprised, could it be that this bandit still has a good skin?

"What nonsense, I heard a scholar in front of me read the above words, and that is a bandit that was arrested by the imperial court."

In the Great Yan Dynasty where [-]% of them could not read, very few people could understand the contents of the notices, and they were all read by literate students.

What this man said must have been wrong.

"It's hard these days..." The salesman shook his head and sighed.

People around nodded in agreement.

Shen Yuexi squeezed forward, came to the two people who were talking, and asked the salesman, "Dare to ask this big brother, when was this notice posted?"

The flowing voice of a clear spring immediately caught the attention of the people around.

Although no one can be seen through the fence, the voice is indeed a woman's voice, which makes people startled.

The salesman was stunned for a moment, looked at Shen Yuexi who was wearing the curtain, and replied with a flushed face, "No... soon, I... I will come before dawn, and the notice has already been posted at that time."

The scholar saw the salesman stuttering, and pulled him aside impatiently.

"Girl, I know about this," the scholar leaned over and said, "This notice was posted in the early hours of the morning. It must be that bandit who came to our county."
