Embroidered color and fragrance

Chapter 149
Clenching both hands with seven points of strength, Su Wanru could hear the creaking of the joints.

Immediately, she was brought in by Shen Zhan, the door closed, and there was no sound, the two people in front of her were back and forth, their robes flying.

"Wanwan is something you can miss." Su Ji punched out, with a bang, and Shen Zhan caught it, and it was also a punch. The shaking roof seemed to shake.

In fact, at that moment just now, he didn't recognize Su Ji, he only thought that the villain was in Su Wanru's room...

In fact, no matter who the other party is, as long as it is a man, he will be alert.

The punches were smashed together with such force that each of them took a step back. Su Wanru looked at her scalp numb and felt pain for them, "Both, can we sit down and have a good talk? At this moment, do you think it is appropriate to fight?" .”

The two of them fisted and kicked out, and they heard the sound of greetings.

"Stop!" Su Wanru said, "Shen Zhan, if you dare to hurt my second brother, you will die!"

Shen Zhan got the order, retracted his fist, and immediately retreated.

"Second brother." Su Wanru went over to hold Su Ji back, "Didn't you say that he is kind to us, even if he pays for his yard, he won't act like an enemy as soon as he comes up."

Su Ji said: "If he is far away from you, he is a benefactor. If he is close to you, he is an enemy."

What is this all about, Su Wanru pulled him to sit down, then looked back at Shen Zhan, "You sit too."

Shen Zhan came over and sat down opposite Su Ji.

This is the first meeting between the two since the last time they met in the clan's mansion. There is deep hatred and personal hatred. In short, you treat me and I treat you. Apart from conflicts, they just want to fight.

Especially Su Ji, when he thinks that this person misses Su Wanru, he dislikes him.

"Why are you here?" Su Wanru looked at Shen Zhan, he still hadn't shaved, and now he was about to become a bearded man, full of banditry, "Are you following me?"

Shen Zhan glanced at Su Ji, looked at Su Wanru, and said, "You went to see Cao Guan but he didn't show up. I'm worried, so come out and have a look."

He came out to take a look easily, but she turned around halfway, so it must have taken a lot of effort to see her, Su Wanru frowned and said: "I brought someone out with me, nothing will happen."

"It's okay to see people." Shen Zhan said.

Su Wanru sighed, turned to look at Su Ji, tugged at his sleeve, "...Second brother."

"En." Su Ji looked at her softly, and said, "Go to work early, you don't need to waste time here, so as not to be known and find something strange."

Su Wanru also knew that she was reluctant to leave just after seeing Su Ji, but now seeing the appearance of the two of them, she felt uneasy, and she couldn't guarantee that when she was not around, the two of them would fight.

It's really a fist fight when there is a disagreement.

These two people probably had a grudge in their previous life.

"Then I'll leave tomorrow." Su Wanru tugged at Su Ji's sleeve, "Let's have dinner together tonight, and I'll go to Cangzhou early tomorrow morning."

Su Ji pinched her face and said, "Well, you should listen to Wanwan."

Su Wanru pursed her lips and smiled.

"Hmm!" Shen Zhan coughed, looked at Su Ji's hand and Su Wanru in displeasure, and said, "I will accompany you to Cangzhou tomorrow morning, and now there are refugees outside, so I don't worry. "

Su Wanru wants to say that she doesn't need your company.But in front of Su Ji, she had to give Shen Zhan face, otherwise the conflict between the two of them would be even greater in the future, "Okay! Then we will go together tomorrow."

Shen Zhan's brows suddenly relaxed, feeling happy physically and mentally.

"Since you're staying for one night, you can stay with me tonight." Su Ji looked at Shen Zhan leisurely, "We are also old friends, let's take this opportunity to catch up on the old days."

The corners of Shen Zhan's mouth curled up, and just about to speak, Su Wanru waved her hand and said, "The room here is very empty, I'll just go and open another room for Shen Zhan, it's so easy to squeeze together, right." Then she said: " You are all very tired, you should rest well tonight."

"No need." Shen Zhan said, "Second uncle and I do have something to say."

Who is your second brother-in-law?" Su Wanru snorted inwardly.

"I can't afford to be called Second Uncle." Su Ji said with a faint smile, "There will be no relationship between you and me except for your kindness."

Shen Zhan replied: "Wanwan has grown up, her marriage cannot be decided by you."

"Then give it a try." Su Ji leaned over and turned to look at Su Wanru, "Wanwan, I can decide on your marriage."

Su Wanru nodded and said, "Yes, absolutely yes."

Su Ji looked at Su Wanru proudly.

"You don't need to ask her!" Shen Zhan looked at Su Ji, "She will not be able to marry anyone in her life except me."

What you said was really crazy, Su Ji found him very unpleasant, "Then you try."

"Don't try. It's definitely the case." Shen Zhan said.

Su Ji sneered, look at him in a way, he hates arrogance so much, he is totally unworthy of your eyes, looked at Su Wanru, "It can be seen that you and I have many enemies!"

Su Wanru covered her face, and kicked Shen Zhan under the table, blaming him, what are you doing here, not causing trouble!
"Think about his kindness." Su Wanru chuckled, "It's getting late, you go back to your room to wash up, shall we have dinner later?"

Su Ji nodded and got up, looked at Shen Zhan and said, "I think you are also covered in dust, why don't you wash it together?"

"Okay!" Shen Zhan got up and patted Su Wanru's shoulder, "I'll go wash up, and I'll find you later."

Su Wanru felt that since the two of them were going to take a bath, they probably wouldn't fight... You can't do it naked, it's too indecent.

The two left the room. Su Wanru felt restless and knocked on the door next door. Duan Zhen and Liu Changwen heard the movement across the wall. Duan Zhen said: "...Why don't my subordinates go down and have a look? It is too eye-catching, what if the Second Highness is discovered because of this."

"Yes. Su Wanru said: "Be careful and watch at the door. If you make a move, you can go in and try to persuade the fight. "

Duan Zhen should go.

Su Wanru walked back and forth in the room, afraid that the two would really fight.

In the room, Su Ji and Shen Zhan were sitting opposite each other. There was no tea in the teacup, and there was no stove in the room. The wind began to pour in from the windows, but obviously no one wanted to ask the servant to bring tea and lift the stove, let alone get up. Go close the windows.

After a while, Su Ji said, "Is your brain ready?"

"The brain has always been good, and the hands and feet are even better." Shen Zhan said in a provocative tone.

Su Ji sneered, and swept him up and down, "Just you? How are your hands and feet?" I don't know who it was back then, but he was beaten so badly that he couldn't get up.

Of course Shen Zhan knew what he was talking about, and replied with disdain: "But I'm afraid Wanwan will be sad, so I don't fight back. If you really do it, you can think you can."

"Want to make a date?" Su Ji looked at the table and moved his wrist, "After becoming a Marquis, you will see your ability grow."

Shen Zhan also rubbed his hands, his knuckles creaked, and the two of them looked at each other, making Duan Zhen, who was peeping outside the door, feel ashamed. He ran back and said to Su Wanru, "The atmosphere is tense, and my subordinates are afraid that they will really do something later."

"I'll go and have a look." Su Wanru also tiptoed to look, and saw two people in the room, one was rubbing his wrist, the other was breaking his knuckles, four eyes were looking at each other, looking like a rainstorm. The way of fighting.

"Childish!" They are all in their early twenties, and they are all people who have experienced strong winds and waves. At this moment, they are here to fight for momentum, just like a teenager in their teens. If you don't prove your physical fitness when you meet, you will feel like a loser. similar.

"Don't do anything." Su Wanru didn't go in, but knocked on the door, "Think it over, you will be at your own risk!"

After the words fell, she snorted and went back to the room.

They probably won't really fight. Although the two of them look at each other disliked, they are both well-measured people. At most, they will fight fiercely.

Probably.

Su Wanru laughed, lying on the bed and looking at the roof of the tent, she felt the most at ease in the past two years, as if she had been wandering on the sea for a long time and finally reached the shore.

In that room, there were the two men she cared about most in this world.

She grabbed the quilt and lay on the bed laughing, muffled, suddenly, a cough sounded in her ears, she suddenly looked up in surprise, and saw Su Ji and Shen Zhan sitting in her room again at some point.

"You..." Su Wanru sat up straight, "Aren't you going to take a bath?"

Shen Zhan glanced at Su Ji and said, "Not happy."

"I'm not happy." Su Ji said.

Su Wanru laughed, pointed at the two people and said, "Then I'll let the boy serve the food if you don't take a bath, and we'll have dinner in the room." She was inconvenient, so she could only hide in the room because of grievances.

After ordering the food, Su Wanru also sat down at the table, looked at the two awkward people with her chin in her hand, and yelled at Su Ji, saying, "Second brother, ask Shen Zhan to help you, don't you still have a granary to deal with?" It's more convenient to let him go."

"No, will he stab us in the back and betray us?" Su Ji was disgusted.

Shen Zhan snorted coldly and said, "Stealing the granary, are you a mouse?"

"Mice are not ashamed." Su Ji sneered, "It's hypocritical and cunning that's the shame."

Shen Zhan crossed his arms and leaned on the chair, Su Ji also leaned on the chair, the two looked at each other, Su Wanru felt crackling sparks flying in their sight.

"Stop!" Su Wanru said, "You two heroes, can we talk properly?"

Su Ji said: "I can't!" Unless he doesn't miss Wan Wan.

Shen Zhan said: "No!" Unless he doesn't stand in front of Su Wanru and thinks himself right.

Su Wanru hugged Su Ji's arm and acted coquettishly, "Second brother, you have always had a good temper, calm and magnanimous, you don't want to do this, it will destroy your graceful temperament."

"Yeah." Su Ji nodded and said, "Then the second brother will give you some face."

Su Wanru smiled sweetly at him, "Second brother is the best."

Nodding, Shen Zhan moved the chair towards Su Wanru's side, opened his arms, and sat upright.

But after waiting for a long time, no one came over and hugged his arm to be coquettish. He suddenly looked dissatisfied and coughed a few times... Su Wanru suppressed a smile and said, "What's wrong with you, your throat is uncomfortable?"

The corners of Shen Zhan's mouth trembled, but he didn't speak.

The servant brought in the food, served three jars of wine and put them on the table. Su Wanru took a jar of fruit wine and put it by her hand, and said with a smile, "Come, drink. Clink glasses for our reunion after so many years."

Su Ji nodded, and touched Su Wanru, and Shen Zhan also touched her.

Su Ji drank a glass of wine, and Shen Zhan drank it in one gulp.

The two of you looked at me, I looked at you, filled their own cups in silence, took another gulp, and poured it again...

When you come and go, you can hear the sound of putting the glass on and pouring the wine.

Silently, Su Wanru was stunned as if she wanted to suppress the other party's aura. Su Ji is not a naive person, and Shen Zhan is certainly not, but the two of them today really left her speechless.

"You two are Gui Geng this year." Su Wanru pressed the glasses of the two of them, "Six or eight years old, are you sorry? One crop after another, it's like harvesting wheat. There are really you, as soon as we meet, it's like this. Excuse me!"

"You clearly promised me just now, but you forgot in a blink of an eye." Su Wanru stared at Su Ji, who twitched the corners of her mouth and didn't speak.

Satisfaction flashed across Shen Zhan's eyes.

"And you." Su Wanru said: "You are amazing, you put my second brother down, and you will get angry. Let me tell you, your loss is even greater."

Shen Zhan slumped his shoulders.

"Eat!" Su Wanru put away the wine for the two of them, "Whoever fights again, stop eating and go back to bed."

Shen Zhan served the bowl, Su Ji served the bowl, and the three of them ate in silence.

childish!Su Wanru became more energetic as she spoke, and after a few more reprimands, she felt that her heart was at ease, she was at ease, and she ate happily.

"Sleeping in the same room?" Su Wanru looked at the two suspiciously, "Who sleeps on the floor and who sleeps on the bed. They can't be crowded together, right?"

As he spoke, his eyes swept over the two of them ambiguously.

Shen Zhan stood up abruptly as if being pricked by a needle, and said, "I'll open one!" Then he opened the door and left.

"Childish." Su Ji glanced at Shen Zhan, and said to Su Wanru, "You go to bed early, I will go to my Liujiazhuang tomorrow morning, so I won't see you off, so as not to make too much noise and attract attention."

Su Wanru nodded, hugged Su Ji, and said, "Be careful yourself. We still have time, so don't worry." She didn't tell Su Ji how she got the title of aunt.

I was going to write him a letter after returning to Yanjing, so that even if he got angry, he could only reprimand him in the letter.

Su Ji went back to her own room, Su Wanru asked someone to come in and tidy up the room, she also washed herself, and went to bed to rest.

In the middle of the night, she heard the door slamming twice. She was startled. She put on her clothes and leaned against the door to listen for a while, then she heard someone say: "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what do you want to do?"

"Talk to my daughter-in-law, isn't it too lenient for you?" Another person said.

Su Wanru was furious, she slammed the door open, looked at the two of them, "My lord, do you want to sleep or not?"

"Go back to sleep." Su Ji looked at Shen Zhan warily.

Shen Zhan looked at Su Wanru, thought for a while, and endured it, anyway, this person will not be here tomorrow night.

He brushed off his robe and went back to his room.

"Don't be stupid, let him into your room in the middle of the night." Seeing that Shen Zhan had left, Su Ji scolded Su Wanru, "You are young and don't understand. Don't be fooled by him, you will suffer."

Su Wanru smiled and nodded, "I see, don't worry, I won't suffer even if he suffers."

"It's all women who suffer." Su Ji warned: "When I'm not around, you have to remember it."

Su Wanru responded, nodding repeatedly, "Second brother, I understand, I remember. You should always go back and rest."

Su Ji glanced at Shen Zhan's door worryingly, and said to Su Wanru, "The door is closed."

Su Wanru was speechless, she hurriedly closed the door and hit the latch with a snap, Su Ji then left in peace.

Su Wanru laughed through the door, just after laughing twice, the window was pushed open, Shen Zhan's head was exposed on the window, smiled at her, and said, "Wanwan."

"Crazy." Su Wanru closed the window with a snap, and Shen Zhan patted it, "I'll just talk to you."

Su Wanru said angrily: "If you do this again, I'll call my second brother."

Shen Zhan muttered something and left.

Su Wanru laughed out loud, feeling happier than ever before.

Early in the morning of the second day, they packed up their things, and the four of them set off on the road together. Shen Zhan sized up Duan Zhen and Liu Changwen, but didn't speak, and Su Wanru didn't explain, and they went to Cangzhou...

Without Su Ji, Shen Zhan was in a good mood, Su Wanru looked at him with disgust, and said, "Why don't you shave your beard?"

"I'll shave whenever you forgive me." Shen Zhan stroked his beard and said, "Isn't it pretty?"

Su Wanru said disgustedly: "Ugly! You look like an old man from a distance or up close."

"I've never seen any uncle who is as graceful as me." Shen Zhan said with a smile: "However, if you don't like it, then please forgive me. If you forgive me, I will shave my beard and show my true face for you to see enough .”

Said that she seemed to be very fond of his face, Su Wanru snorted twice, patted the horse and said: "Then you should keep it." Then she ran away.

"Insincere words." Shen Zhan said, chasing after him.

Cangzhou is very close, and it takes only one day to arrive. Cao Guan is a low-level official. When he saw Shen Zhan, he didn't even dare to say anything. Naturally, he said whatever he wanted. Although he was still angry, he didn't ignore Shen Zhan. After eating together, he went back to his room and closed the doors and windows, and went to bed.

In the middle of the night, she heard the door creaking for a while, and then the window creaking a few times. She sat on the bed and listened with a smile, and it took a while for the sound to disappear.

"I told you to climb the window, I'll put a few needles tomorrow night!" Su Wanru muttered a few words and fell asleep.

Someone next door tossed and couldn't fall asleep. This dead girl was chatting and laughing with him outside, and when no one was around, she just kept a straight face with him and didn't say a word.

He originally planned to take this opportunity to have a good talk with her, but now it seems that she is determined not to give it a chance.

Early in the morning of the second day, they stayed in Cangzhou for a whole morning before going to Jining. Su Wanru planned to visit the shop and the market entrance.

A group of people hurried on their way, wanting to reach Texas before dark.

Lunch was on horseback, and each of them ate a few pieces of sesame seed cakes. Su Wanru found that Shen Zhan ate very little when he went out, and two pieces of sesame seed cakes and a sip of water were sufficient for food and clothing.

She remembered what she said before, it is common to run out of food and grass during the march, and sometimes they have nothing to eat for a few days, so they just carry it over.

As the sky was getting dark, Su Wanru was a little tired from running, she pulled the reins to stop, and said to the three people: "Let's rest here for a while, I think we can enter Dezhou City to rest at this time."

Shen Zhan glanced around, nodded and said, "Then rest for a while, don't go far."

"Don't go far." Su Wanru got off her horse and moved her legs, while Duan Zhen and Liu Changwen sat and rested not far away. Shen Zhan looked at her and asked, "Su Shiyuan wants to take Liu Jiazhuang?"

"You also know Liujiazhuang?" Su Wanru looked at him.

Shen Zhan nodded and said: "I knew he was coming, so I guessed that he would do this. After all, recruiting troops is not as fast as taking back these bandits." He added: "However, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to tame these people."

If it was someone else, he would probably have doubts, but if it was Su Ji who did it, he felt that there was no problem.

Su Ji may not be very good at marching, but in other things, he has no problem.

"Second brother is fine." Su Wanru is very confident in Su Ji, "He will show his skills after he goes, and when he gets the food tonight, the bandits in Liujiazhuang will have nothing to say."

"En." Shen Zhan nodded, and halfway through speaking, he suddenly pulled Su Wanru over. She was about to speak in a daze, but found that his expression was wrong, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Zhan frowned, looked around, and Duan Zhen and Liu Changwen also walked over, whispering: "Aunt Su, something is wrong!"

"Someone assassinated?" Su Wanru didn't notice anything wrong, it was pitch black, they took a short cut, so no one came over, and asked quietly, "Who will assassinate us?"

It doesn't make sense.

After she finished speaking, Shen Zhan suddenly clamped her into his arms, and led her around on the spot, and then Su Wanru heard something hit the ground with a bang.

"What." It didn't look like a weapon, Su Wanru followed to find it, and saw it was a stone, she was stunned, "It's a stone."

Duan Zhen and Liu Changwen came over, and the three of them protected Su Wanru in the middle, ready to fight.

"Come out." Shen Zhan held Su Wanru with one hand, his eyes didn't fixate on a certain place, and then he heard rustling sounds from all directions, like poisonous snakes, gliding in the dark night, constantly approaching, trying to get close Hit and hit the target.

Su Wanru took out the dagger and held it in her hand. She stared wide-eyed and looked ahead. It seemed that in a blink of an eye, she saw many dark shadows all around, slowly walking towards them.

These people walked very slowly, bowed their waists, like mice staring at food, watching their eyes shine.

The black shadow kept approaching, and she finally saw the appearance of these people clearly. They were of all ages, in ragged clothes, staring at them closely, like a very hungry person, seeing a plate of braised pork.

It's a refugee!
"How come there are so many refugees gathered here?" Su Wanru was puzzled. When they came, they walked all the way, and there were refugees everywhere, but there were definitely not many people gathered here. Looking at it like this, there were at least 200 people.

200 people gathered together to attack passers-by, which is too weird.

Shen Zhan said in a low voice: "The refugees beg for food, and when they get together, they have nothing to beg for. The current situation is definitely not for nothing."

"What do you want to do." Duan Zhen yelled loudly, and pulled out the saber on his waist, "Please explain clearly what you mean, otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless."

The people on the opposite side were startled, paused, and stared at them, not daring to move forward. Suddenly, someone shouted, "Don't be afraid, there are few of them."

As if reminded, those people moved again, approaching this side, and in the blink of an eye, they were surrounded in the middle.

"Hand over... the money and everything you have on you." Someone shouted: "We are hungry and want to eat, so you hand over the money."

Shen Zhan shouted coldly: "Get out!"

Of course money cannot be given out. With so many people, no matter how much money you spend, you cannot satisfy them.

So, take it or don't take it, the result is the same.

"They won't give it." The person who spoke seemed to be squatting behind the crowd. Looking at it this way, he could only hear the voice, but couldn't see who was speaking, "We rob, if we don't get food, we will starve to death. "

"Grab it!" Someone responded, "The officials are immoral and taxed excessively, leaving us with no land to grow and no homes to return to. If you want to blame, you can blame the officials, not us."

As he spoke, a young man rushed over.

Shen Zhan didn't talk nonsense with this man at all, he raised his foot, and the young man flew down in the crowd like a rag. He swept his gaze and landed behind the crowd, and he jumped up like a falcon. With an exclamation, Shen Zhan came back again, holding a man as thin as a monkey in his hand.

"Who are you?" Shen Zhan pinched the man's neck. The man's skinny feet couldn't touch the ground at all, so he blushed and kicked around, "Who appointed you?"

The man coughed and frightened the refugees who were about to follow. They stopped in place one by one, looking at them in horror.

"No one instructed us." The man who looked like a thin monkey said: "We are hungry, and the officials don't care about us. We have to find opportunities to find food by ourselves. If we want to survive, we can only help ourselves."

As soon as Shen Zhan exerted force in his hand, he heard the man's neck creak, the man's eyes widened, and the man shouted, "Leave me alone, get on it!"

Those refugees seemed to be stimulated, and suddenly rushed forward.

Shen Zhan threw out the person in his hand like a rag, grabbed Su Wanru's hand, and said, "These people are difficult to deal with, you should get on your horse and leave first."

She put her on the horse, but the road ahead was blocked and someone rushed over.

A child stopped in front of the horse's hoof, and if the horse lifted its foot, the child's body would be trampled through a hole.

Behind them, Duan Zhen and Liu Changwen put their knives back into their sheaths, and used the sheaths to slap the approaching people...Sometimes a strong enemy is easier to deal with than a weak one, because when he is strong, you can deal with it without any scruples , Whether life or death, each depends on its ability.

But in the face of such a group of people, they are unarmed. If you swing a knife to kill, it will be a matter of ups and downs.

Shen Zhan was too lazy to care, bent down, and lifted the child lying in front of him. The child was frightened and opened his mouth to bite, but he was thrown out before he opened his mouth.

Shen Zhan then raised his foot to kick away those who blocked the way, and shouted: "Don't think you are weak, I won't dare to kill you."

He was a hungry man, and like these, he knew the danger of a very hungry man.

There is nothing to be merciless about. If you make a choice, then you have to pay the price for your choice. This is always fair.

"Murder!" Someone shouted, "Kill the child!"

The child that was thrown out just now was thrown back again, with a knife in its stomach, and its thin body twisted and struggling in pain. A woman rushed forward, hugged the child, and cried, "My son."

Duan Zhen stepped forward to stop the child's bleeding, wrapped up the wound, took off his clothes and wrapped the child up.

Su Wanru's eyes turned red, she glared at the people in the crowd, pointed at someone and said, "It's him!"

Shen Zhan got up very fast, the man wanted to run but was grabbed by the back of his collar and pinned to the ground, "You incited them to grab it?"

"Murderer, murderer." The man was like a loach, rolling on the ground slippery, Shen Zhan raised his hand and knocked the man unconscious, lifted him up and looked at the refugees blocking them, "Who knows him?"

Those people's eyes were full of horror, anger and despair, because in their view, Shen Zhan killed two people in a row.

"Wait a minute." Su Wanru sat on the horseback, so she looked farther, "Don't be incited by others, we didn't kill this child, we didn't use weapons at all."

Shen Zhan was empty-handed, while Duan Zhen and Liu Changwen's knives were already in their sheaths.

"You kill people, you are villains." Someone shouted: "Hit them, fight them!"

Su Wanru was stunned, these people didn't listen to reason at all, so Shen Zhan glanced at her with a smile, and said, "At this moment, you can only solve the problem by bringing out a cart full of steamed buns."

Yes, don't worry about talking.

"Wait a minute." Su Wanru said: "Dezhou is ahead, you go with me to Dezhou, and I'll buy you food. We don't have any money with us, but we will send money from our family when we enter the city. It's enough to keep you full!"

Obviously, those people were stunned for a moment, and then they said humanely: "You are liars, liars!"

Su Wanru held her temper and said: "You say we kill people, so let's go to the government and let the people from the government check the head office." Then said: "Go to Dezhou, while checking, I will help you solve the problem of eating. We will leave one person As a mortgage, other people will go to you to get food, so you can rest assured."

Shen Zhan looked at Su Wanru.

"Keep him here." Su Wanru patted Shen Zhan, "Let him be the mortgage, I'll buy you steamed buns, and I'll make sure you're full, okay?"

The crowd fell silent, and everyone fixed on Shen Zhan.

Shen Zhan's eyelids twitched, wanting to pull the little white-eyed wolf down and beat him up, Su Wanru also looked down at him, giving him a comforting look.

Shen Zhan ignored her.

Su Wanru said again: "Look, I have kept my husband-in-law, why don't you believe me. In order to redeem my husband-in-law, I will definitely not go back on my word."

It turned out to be Xianggong, and everyone shouted: "Won't you lie?" Obviously eating is more important than the injured child. Even though his mother was crying heartbreakingly at the moment, her voice was covered by one after another.

Shen Zhan's tense face suddenly cleared away, as if he drank a cup of hot water, and he was submissive and comfortable, as if he wanted to prove that he was her husband, and he deliberately held Su Wanru's hand, explaining that he has a very good temper Said: "Yes, my daughter-in-law went to the city to buy food, and I will be your hostage."

Duan Zhen and Liu Changwen followed, their faces trembling, Zhennan Hou emphasized this at this time, isn't it a bit too much?
"It's not easy for everyone. You are hungry and we are tired. Let's go to Dezhou City first." Su Wanru said: "Don't surround yourself, you will eat us up here, so many of you can't eat enough. What's more, we Still resisting, hurting innocent people so much, it’s not worth it.”

These people must have been instigated by the two people just now. Now the two people who incited them stopped talking, and immediately became a mess.

Shen Zhan lifted the stunned man, tied his hands and feet, and put him on the horse's back. Su Wanru pointed to the front, "Go, follow, let's go to Dezhou City."

No one objected any more.

The team started to move, and at this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes in front of them. There were more than a dozen people, and someone shouted: "Are the refugees from Yanping Mansion in front?"

"Yes!" someone replied.

"Follow me, we will take you home. There is food ahead, two steamed buns for each person, follow me!" The man sat on the horseback, "Official disaster relief, let me take you back, don't stay You are disrupting order. As long as you go back with us, you will have the rations before the autumn harvest this year and the seeds sown in spring. Also, the officials said that you will be exempted from all taxes in Yanping Mansion this autumn."

The crowd was stunned for a moment, and then someone exclaimed in disbelief, "Is it true?"

"It's absolutely true." The man yelled: "Come with me, if you go late, there will be no steamed buns."

All of a sudden, the man looked like a leader. He slapped his horse, and everyone ran behind him. In a blink of an eye, there were only two people who had been knocked out, the child lying on the ground and her. mother.

Su Wanru was dumbfounded, looked at Shen Zhan, and said, "Didn't the imperial court only give 50 taels of disaster relief, and the three state capitals, can they last until next year?"

Of course not, that's for sure.

Shen Zhan knelt down, looked at the woman holding the child, and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you here tonight?"

The woman was very afraid of Shen Zhan, she shrank back holding the child, shaking her head, "I don't know, I don't know."

"Don't be afraid." Su Wanru got off her horse and squatted in front of the woman, "Just now you saw that my husband just threw the child aside, and he didn't throw it too hard. But when the child is thrown back again, there will be more I can understand your feelings, but you have to see who the murderer is."

"We don't have any malicious intentions. On the contrary, we are also victims. We were on our way, but you are stuck here, staring at you." Su Wanru said softly: "You would be afraid and nervous about this matter. Bar."

The woman nodded, pointing at the man on the horseback with tears in her eyes, "He told us to wait here, and said that the nobleman will come later. The nobleman has a lot of money on him. Let us ask for money from the nobleman. The nobleman will definitely give us the money." .”

Su Wanru and Shen Zhan looked at each other, and said, "So you followed?"

The woman nodded.

"Come with me to Dezhou Mansion." Su Wanru touched the child's hand, and said in a low voice, "We must quickly go to the city to treat Dr. Zhao, and punish the murderer severely."

The woman burst into tears and kowtowed to Su Wanru, "Thank you, thank you."

"Get on the horse first." Su Wanru asked the woman to get on the horse, and handed her the biscuits and water in the bag. Duan Zhen and Liu Changwen rode together, while Shen Zhan tied up the two men and put them on the horse with one hand.

They entered the city in a short while, and they took the child to the clinic, while Shen Zhan sent the two to the yamen.

Fortunately, although the child was seriously injured, it was possible to be rescued. Su Wanru also breathed a sigh of relief. Looking back on what happened tonight, there was something strange everywhere.

"How is it?" Su Wanru saw Shen Zhan coming in, and hurriedly greeted him, Shen Zhan frowned and said, "These two are local thugs from Texas, and they usually do a lot of cheating and abducting."

That is to say, these two people want to encourage the refugees to rob with them?

"I think it's still weird." Su Wanru looked at him and said, "Should I ask who is it that took the refugees away just now?"

Shen Zhan nodded, and said: "I just asked. Liu Ti said that in the past two days, not only Dezhou, but also refugees from several nearby places have been persuaded to leave. There are nearly a thousand. They all returned to their hometowns with the disaster relief people."

"So, it's true." Su Wanru asked, "It's Zhao Xu who helped the disaster in the northwest, right? So he asked people to bring the refugees home?"

If this is the case, it is indeed a good thing. It not only brings people back, but also saves the nearby state capital from a big trouble.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xu is quite capable and kind-hearted, so he sent someone to find someone specially, "It seems that he really wants to make meritorious service, and he wants to do this well."

Wanting to get things done is a good thing.No matter what method is used, whether it is fast or slow, even this kind of heart is worthy of encouragement and praise.

Shen Zhan didn't speak, looked up at the sky, nodded, and said, "I hope so!"

"What's the matter?" Su Wanru asked curiously, "Do you think he has too little money, so he can't do this? It's a bit of a big shot, but in the end, he didn't do a good job and caused a riot?"

Yes, the refugees brought him back, but in the end he didn't settle down well, and something would happen.

"En." Shen Zhan nodded and said: "I really think so." Then said: "However, this matter is out of my control, and I don't want to interfere. I can only wait and see how it changes, and then deal with it according to the situation."

Su Wanru nodded, and Shen Zhan was not in charge of disaster relief, so he could only instruct the newly built guards in the northwest and the state capitals under their jurisdiction to prepare for possible responses.

"The child should be kept for observation for two days." Su Wanru said, "Let's find an inn to rest, we have enough money left."

Shen Zhan raised his hand and touched her head, and said, "Is my daughter-in-law hungry? What would you like to eat tonight?"

"Rogue." Su Wanru pursed her lips and smiled, knowing that he would bring this up.

The four went to the inn.

When the food came, Su Wanru didn't have much appetite. She drank the soup and thought about things. The more she thought about what happened tonight, the weirder she became. Why would the local ruffians in Texas incite refugees to rob? Even if they incited them, they wouldn't bring so many people.

So many people are robbing too much, even if they are robbed, it is not easy to appease and carve up.

The refugees are just hungry, not stupid.

"Thinking about refugees?" Shen Zhan looked at her and asked.

Su Wanru nodded, and said thoughtfully: "It was too dark just now, and we are far away, you can see who is the person who came to take them away."

"Well, I see clearly, I'm wearing the robes of the government." Shen Zhan said: "It's not wrong to be a person of the government." Not only is he wearing the robes of the government, but also shoes, a saber, even the tone of his speech, and the horse he rides. After reading it, there must be no problem with identity.

Otherwise, he wouldn't just let the other party take him away without saying a word.

"Shen Zhan." Su Wanru suddenly thought of something, "Tell me, could they be together?"

Shen Zhan raised his eyebrows, then patted her hand, and said, "Let's eat first, I'll take care of this matter."

"That's not right." Su Wanru's eyelids twitched, "The governor of Dezhou said that many refugees have been brought back to their original places these days, and they are still escorted by the government. It will take a month for such a person to go back, and the rations for this month are quite a lot. What kind of government? I can afford it, not to mention that they asked the imperial court to pay for the disaster relief because they were unable to appease the snow disaster."

Shen Zhan patted her on the head, "Stop talking, you rest here tonight, I'll take Duan Zhen to follow them overnight, and come back tomorrow to tell you about those people, okay?"

"I'll go with you." Su Wanru said.

She felt that Shen Zhan must have noticed something, and his tone of voice was secretive, so she must follow to see.

"Okay, okay. Then you eat, and we'll leave the city after dinner." Shen Zhan had no choice but to compromise with her. Su Wanru finished her meal in two or three bites, and the four of them left the city gate quickly.

Going all the way to the northwest, with so many people, even if they walked for more than two hours, they would not go far.

But they walked for an hour, and they didn't see any pedestrians on the road.

"I'll go ahead and have a look." Duan Zhen said, and quickly went to the front to check out the sentry. After a quarter of an hour, he came back and said, "There is no one!"

It's impossible to walk so fast, Su Wanru looked at Shen Zhan, "Isn't this the way to go? But to the northwest, this is the only way to go?"

Shen Zhan raised his eyes and glanced around, pointed to the mountain diagonally opposite, "Enter the mountain!"

"Enter the mountain?" Su Wanru's heart skipped a beat, Shen Zhan was already walking ahead, the four of them got off their horses not far from the foot of the mountain, tied the horses to a hidden place around the corner, and then walked up the mountain.

The mountain is not particularly high, but there are many trees and shrubs. After walking a few steps, Shen Zhan said: "The grass is all trampled, and the footprints are fresh. Someone walked by just now, and there are quite a few of them."

Su Wanru stopped talking, and grabbed Shen Zhan's hand with a sullen face, trembling slightly.

"It's okay." He held her up, and unconsciously walked a lot faster, Su Wanru struggled and began to trot.

When they got to the middle of the mountain, they heard muffled shouts, and then a bloody smell, which covered the smell of the trees and soil in the mountain, and turned into a strong, disgusting bloody smell taste.

"Shen Zhan." Su Wanru held Su Wanru's hand tightly, Shen Zhan nodded and said, "Don't be afraid!" After saying that, he took her up the mountain.
