Chapter 55: The Guard and the Creditor

Chapter 55: The Guard and the Creditor
Early the next morning, Shen Qinglan set foot on the road to Fuguang County. The journey was not very far, and it only took two days.

Last night, the little girls of Wenlan Courtyard packed their luggage overnight, they didn't bring much gold and silver, they only prepared a few pieces of underwear.

There were only two carriages to go to Fuguang County, and the two elder brothers clamored to come together, but Shen Qinglan refused. She only brought Zhou Dashan, his brothers, and Yan'er.

Arriving at the gate of Luoping City, a group of officers and soldiers came to Shen Qinglan's carriage neatly.

"Hello, Miss Shen, this is Ji Fan, the commander of Luoping City's government office, who has been ordered by the Lord Zhizhou to escort Miss Shen to Fuguang County."

Shen Qinglan and Yan'er got out of the carriage and saluted him respectfully.

"Thank you Ji for commanding."

This Ji Fan is eight feet tall, with a burly build, aged only about 30 years old, with wheat-colored skin, thick eyebrows, big eyes, slightly thick lips, and a half-inch beard, which makes people feel very safe at first glance.

"Reporting to Ms. Shen, there are a total of 16 officers and soldiers escorting this time. We will protect your safety throughout the process."

"Thank you, gentlemen."

After finishing speaking, Shen Qinglan saluted again, and then took Yan'er into the car.

The way out of the city was relatively smooth. After resting at two official posts on the way, he stopped at another official post at night and continued on his way tomorrow morning.

Shen Qinglan and Yan'er lived in the same room, Shen Qinglan went upstairs first, and Yan'er came up after a while, pouting her mouth and looking unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"Just now when I paid at the counter of the post house, Ji Fan took two people and stood behind me, motionless. I thought they were waiting for me to finish paying, but when I was about to leave, Ji Fan asked me where they stayed for the night. Where? Later, I had no other choice, so I had to pay the money for these sixteen people, and ordered to open eight rooms." Yan'er said angrily.

"Uh……"

Shen Qinglan was also a little speechless. She co-authored that Master Zhizhou sent these people over, and she paid for the whole process?What's the difference between that and her own money to hire someone?

"Miss, are you saying that the government office in Luoping City is too poor to pay the wages of the servants, so let these people come and follow us to Luoping, so as to temporarily solve their food problem?" Yan'er asked again .

"Uh... Forget it, it's not short of the money." Shen Qinglan said.

"But we didn't bring much with us when we came out this time..."

Shen Qinglan sighed, these officials are used to plundering rich businessmen like them, they are all old calendars.
-
The next day, the convoy passed through a small town, and Shen Qinglan ordered to pass through the town to buy some supplies.

Yan'er may not have visited the market for a long time, she seemed a little excited, pointing to Shen Qinglan to look at this and touch that.

Walking in front of an ironware shop, Ji Fan suddenly stopped in his tracks, looked back, and saw the rough man eight feet tall staring at a dagger on the countertop, unable to move, Yan'er called him several times There was no response.

Seeing this situation, Shen Qinglan thought it was nothing to go on like this, so she took the initiative to go back and asked, "Commander Ji likes this dagger?"

Ji Fan nodded blankly.

Shen Qinglan raised his head and asked the shopkeeper, "How much is this dagger?"

The store owner was a skinny old man, he was a little confused when he saw this situation, he was a little frightened that such a tall man would stay in front of the store, how can this business be done?
"240 Wen." The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly.

"So expensive?" Yan'er walked over and said.

"Forget it, give me the money."

Yan'er paid the money with an expression of displeasure, and glared at Ji Fan again.

Ji Fan just stared helplessly at the store and handed the dagger to Shen Qinglan, who then turned around and handed the dagger to him.

"Thank you Miss Shen!"

Ji Fanle's black face was about to bloom, Yan'er hurriedly dragged Shen Qinglan away, and within a few steps, Ji Fan stopped in front of a pastry shop again.

Yan'er sighed, "This is not an escort, it's clearly a prodigal!"

"Yan'er, go and buy a few more copies of that pastry and share it with those officials. They have worked hard this trip."

After hearing this, Yan'er stomped her feet helplessly, and went to pay again.

Shen Qinglan walked up to Ji Fan, "Well... Commander Ji, why don't you go back to the carriage to rest? You don't have to follow us."

Ji Fan shook his head quickly, bowed his waist towards him again, cupped his fists and said, "I am ordered by Zhizhou to protect Miss Shen and return to Luoping City safely."

"Uh... well..."

Next, Ji Fan ate cakes while walking, and he swept away the cakes before long. Seeing this, Shen Qinglan had no choice but to let Yan'er go to other shops to buy a lot, no matter how Ji Fan followed Yan'er Later, Yan'er didn't hand over the cakes.
-
Back on the carriage, Yan'er counted the money in the small wooden box, and sighed: "It's only been a day since I came out, and half of the money has been spent."

Shen Qinglan was also speechless, "I'm also wondering, it seemed quite normal at first... Now I don't feel safe at all, that Ji Fan..."

Before the words finished, Ji Fan's voice sounded from outside the carriage: "What orders does Miss Shen have?"

"Uh……"

Yan'er and Shen Qinglan looked at each other, and then said: "It's nothing, just pay attention to the road ahead."

"Order!"

At dusk, Shen Qinglan was drowsy on the rickety carriage when suddenly the carriage stopped.

"What happened?"

She hurriedly grabbed Yan'er's hand, only to hear the sound of horseshoes, Yan'er opened the curtain, only took a look and withdrew her hand.

"It's Du Yunkui!"

There is still some distance from Qiya Village, how could Du Yunkui appear here?

It must be Meng Jingming again!

Yan'er quickly put away the money box, "What should I do, miss, we didn't bring much money this time!"

"Hey! It's in the car! Do you still remember me?" Du Yunkui shouted.

Immediately afterwards, the people in Qiyazhai made a commotion.

"Sister of the Shen family, come out and let our brothers meet!"

"Exactly! I haven't seen you for so long, my brother misses you!"

Du Yunkui laughed loudly, "Shen Qinglan, don't hide, these little bastards can't protect you, you'd better get out of the car obediently, don't wait for the masters to go in and get you! When the time comes, But it doesn't look good!"

Shen Qinglan clenched her fists and asked in a low voice: "Yan'er, you can see clearly just now, how many of them are there?"

"About thirty or forty..."

Just when Shen Qinglan was hesitating whether to get out of the carriage, Ji Fan drove to the side of the carriage.

"Miss Shen, don't worry, these people can still be dealt with." He said, and handed in the dagger he just bought today, "This lady keeps it, so that she can defend herself in case of accident."

"Thank you Commander Ji."

Shen Qinglan took the dagger and hid it in his sleeve. Outside, Du Yunkui shouted again: "Shen Qinglan! Don't toast or eat fine wine!"
