But she was still a little worried about Zhang Siyuan. After all, Zhang Siya was Zhang Siyuan's eldest sister. Zhu Qiuqi was really afraid that Zhang Siyuan would do something irrational.

"His father, don't worry too much, nothing will happen."

Hearing Zhu Qiuqi's comforting voice, Zhang Siyuan's thoughts also calmed down.

"Let's go back quickly, so that our parents won't worry about waiting."

Seeing the carriage gradually slowing down, Zhu Qiuqi thought that Zhang Siyuan had stopped the carriage on purpose, so she couldn't help persuading him.

However, Zhang Siyuan didn't say anything for a long time, and Zhu Qiuqi felt strange. After opening the curtain, Zhu Qiuqi discovered that a group of people had stopped in front of their carriage.

Looking at the clothes of these people, Zhu Qiuqi suddenly had some bad thoughts in her heart.

If things were really as she imagined, their journey today would not be very smooth.

"Who are you?"

Zhang Siyuan asked in a deep voice, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"It doesn't matter who we are, as long as you show your money obediently, we can talk about anything."

When Zhu Qiuqi heard this, she guessed what these people were here for.

Zhu Qiuqi subconsciously looked at the street outside, only to realize that they turned into a remote place on the road at some point.

"We don't have any money, so hurry up and tell me where to go, otherwise... don't blame the young master for being cruel."

The carriage in front of Zhang Siyuan stopped, and the carriage behind him also stopped naturally.

Pei Yuan originally thought that something else happened to Zhang Siyuan, so he stopped the carriage, but he never expected that someone would be so blind and stop Zhang Siyuan's carriage.

Pei Yuan stepped forward quickly, and when he heard the other party's humiliation to Zhang Siyuan, Pei Yuan immediately scolded him.

The people blocking the way ahead looked at Pei Yuan who suddenly appeared, and also thought of what someone reminded them before.

Although Pei Yuan's expression now made them afraid, but for the money, they had to do so.

"Who do you care about us? If you don't take money, don't blame us for being rude!"

Someone deliberately lowered his voice so that Zhang Siyuan and Pei Yuan did not recognize him.

"Oh? Why are you so impolite?"

As Pei Yuan's words fell, a carload of people stepped out of the carriage, and as many as five or six people got out of another carriage following them.

The people following Pei Yuan, although they were all dressed in long gowns, looked like ordinary scholars.

But when these people rolled up their sleeves and showed their hardcover arms, everyone realized that something was wrong.

Which family of scholars can still have the muscles that have been ligated?

Seeing this, the people blocking the way swallowed their saliva involuntarily, trying to calm themselves down.

"Brother, this...how can this be done?"

"Yeah, didn't you say that there are only two men and one woman here when you were looking for us earlier? Why are so many people here in less than a stick of incense?"

Thinking of the woman who gave them money just now, everyone felt bitter for a while.

No wonder the other party was unwilling to reveal their identities. I'm afraid the other party knew these people, so they blocked the road and robbed them.

"What if I don't give the money? What about you?"

Those people seemed not expecting Pei Yuan's tough attitude, just about to say something, they saw a group of guards patrolling the city approaching.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing that there were many people on both sides, the guards immediately stepped forward to inquire.

What Pei Yuan didn't expect was that the five or six strong men who stopped them covered their faces and started crying.

"Master Jun doesn't know. We are being bullied. They robbed our carriage, but they still want to do something to us."

"We don't ask for anything else now, we just hope that my carriage can be taken away as soon as possible, and Lord Wang Jun will make the decision for us."

Hearing the cries of those big men, although the guards felt a little hot-eyed, they still turned their attention to Pei Yuan and the others.

After all, the person who followed Pei Yuan seemed to be more vigorous.

However, what the guards didn't expect was that a group of people who put down their ligated arms turned out to be scholars who had put down their sleeves one after another.

"Master, please listen to me."

Wen Xu stepped forward with a smile, and calmly explained the matter that they were stopped by those big men just now.

Sure enough, when the city guard heard Wen Xu's words, they immediately glared at those big men.

"You are talking nonsense that these carriages are clearly ours. You snatched them for no reason, and now you dare to turn black and white in front of the military master. I think you really have the guts of a bear!"

Hearing the strong man's scolding, ordinary people might feel nervous and afraid.

But obviously people like Pei Yuan don't have a good fault, how could they be afraid of this kind of robber?

What's more, they are not serious literati, and they don't care about reputation like those rotten scholars.

Hearing the confuse of black and white by those robbers, Pei Yuan and the others looked calm.

After those people finished speaking, Pei Yuan said: "Master Jun, this is the horse we just bought today, and we still have a contract here."

As soon as Pei Yuan said that, he took the contract from Zhang Siyuan, and handed it over to the city defenders in an open and honest manner.

The city defenders were still wondering where Pei Yuan got the contract from, but when he turned around, he saw Zhang Siyuan driving the carriage behind him, and the city defenders were also taken aback.

"Zhang...Brother Zhang?"

This shows that the leader of the garrison army is none other than the person who usually follows Li Juntong.

He and Li Juntong went out to Huben Camp together, and returned to Qingshui County together, and now they guard the gate of this city together. The relationship between the two is very close.

For Zhang Siyuan, who was often praised by Li Juntong, the guards still knew him.

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhang Siyuan obviously recognized him.

Zhang Siyuan jumped down from the carriage, and then he bowed his hands to the city defenders.

"I have to trouble you."

The garrison army who came back to their senses hastily returned the salute.

"No thanks, this is what we should do."

In addition to Zhang Siyuan's identity, the contract in Pei Yuan's hands is enough to prove that these people's minds are not pure, and it also proves that they are the ones who attempted to rob, not Pei Yuan and others.

"Take people away and send them to the government, and the magistrate of the province will be busy."

Following the order of the commander of the city defense army, the few big men who were still crying just now suddenly started crying.

"Is there any reason for this? How can you arrest people casually?"

The city guards didn't say much, but nodded to Zhang Siyuan and the others before leading them away.

"Brother, let's go back quickly, so as not to cause any trouble again."
