Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

"Lords of officials, losing people in the city is a big deal. I can understand that you don't want to cause more trouble, but you can't see people no matter what, right?" Yao Shu's face turned completely cold.

"I'm warning you one last time, don't make too much noise in the city. I can turn a blind eye. If you cause panic among the people, you will only be kicked out of here."

The guard drew his sword and warned coldly.

Seeing them being so arrogant, Shen Nanshan was a little afraid and didn't want to make the matter too big.

In addition, Yao Shu said before that she didn't want too many people to know about this matter, so she briefly came up with the idea of ​​showing weakness in front of the guards.

Yao Shu knew in her heart that if they took the initiative to show weakness to the guards at this time, it meant that they would never do anything if they needed help with anything in the future.

The guards in front of them were obviously bullies. If they knew that Yao Shu and others were not easy to fool, they might not be as arrogant as they are now.

"People are missing in your city now. If you, as local officials, do not help find the missing persons, I am afraid that your positions today will not be guaranteed." Yao Shu frowned.

Although she is the head of the county, if she is serious about it, she has no real power.

Even though she was scolding the guards in front of her now, there was a high chance that she would be bitten back in the next second.

The better ones may just be a warning. If they are vindictive people, it is very likely that the Shen family will be accused of contradicting officials.

The rest of the Shen family did not expect that she would warn the guards so bluntly, and they did not react for a while.

Shen Bei looked at Shen Nanshan nervously, wanting to ask him how to deal with it now.

If there is a serious conflict, they may not be able to escape.

Shen Nanshan clenched his fists and was still undecided. He stared at the guards with a cautious expression, always observing their reactions.

"Be bold!"

As expected, the guard became angry and raised the sword in his hand to point it at Yao Shu's neck.

"Does this official intend to execute me on the spot? If I remember correctly, this seems to be Prince Jing's territory. Is this how Prince Jing teaches you to do things?" Yao Shu was not afraid and even stepped forward. step.

The sword pierced Yao Shu's delicate skin, and two drops of blood slowly flowed down the blade.

This appearance made the guard tremble in his heart.

He subconsciously took a step back, but he didn't expect Yao Shu to press forward step by step.

"What a crazy bitch."

The guard took a breath, knowing that the woman in front of him was a tough one.

In line with the principle that doing less is worse than doing more, he immediately looked at his men behind him.

"Now call in people immediately to help them find the missing people."

After saying that, the guard turned to look at the Shen family and warned coldly: "I won't do it next time. I help you this time because I feel sorry for you. If it happens again, I will treat it as if you are messing around."

Yao Shu is also a flexible and flexible person. Seeing that her goal was achieved, she immediately smiled and faced the guard: "Thank you, sir."

Looking at them leaving, Yao Shu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Nanshan came forward and covered Yao Shu's wound with a handkerchief.

The bloody wound made Shen Nanshan feel distressed. He frowned and while patiently treating Yao Shu's wound, he couldn't help complaining: "You can just leave such a matter to me, so why put yourself in danger? "

"I'm afraid that you won't be able to hold back. The other party is also a bully and shy of the strong, but if you push them too hard, I'm afraid they will bite you back." Yao Shu was worried that the other members of the Shen family were not measured. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that she was the only one to compare in this matter. good.

Next, a group of people began to look for Shen Fugui and the princess. They saw that by the next morning, there was still no news of them.

"Mom, do you think someone discovered their identities and took the opportunity to take them away? Could it be that the Minister of Rites sent someone to do it?" Shen Bei couldn't help but guess.

It's not that Yao Shu has never thought about this possibility, but no matter how courageous the Minister of Rites is, he doesn't dare to take action soon after Princess Chang'an leaves.

This place is not too far from the capital. If the Minister of Rites really wants to take action, he should have crossed the Taihang Mountains.

If he really took the princess away and it was just a warning, then he would send Shen Fugui back anyway, otherwise no one would tell the news.

"Let's wait and see."

Shen Nanshan was also very anxious: "Let me see, maybe those people didn't want to help us find the princess and Lao Wu at all. Otherwise, based on their abilities, how could they not find them until now?"

"Don't jump to conclusions."

While several people were still anxious, Mr. Wang's housekeeper suddenly came to the door.

He looked around with disdain, and finally fixed his gaze on Shen Nanshan.

After all, people who are not familiar with each other will only subconsciously focus on men. After all, in this era, men generally call the shots.

"Our grandpa would like to invite you to come over."

After the butler finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave with Shen Nanshan.

Yao Shu didn't trust him, so she stepped forward to greet him: "I wonder if Mr. Wang will allow me to go with him."

"Our master didn't invite you, so just wait here."

The housekeeper gave her a contemptuous look and turned to leave.

Yao Shu said in a low voice: "I am just a woman. Now that my child has disappeared without any reason, I am naturally uneasy. If I can't be with my master, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."

After saying that, she stood beside Shen Nanshan with a weak look on her face and said softly: "Master, what do you think?"

Shen Nanshan had never seen her like this before and swallowed subconsciously.

This was so abnormal that Shen Nanshan didn't dare to respond.

"Could it be that the master also dislikes me?" Yao Shu saw that he didn't answer, and then spoke again.

Shen Nanshan reacted immediately and nodded quickly: "Yes, he is timid, so just come with me."

"It's really useless." When the housekeeper saw this scene, he became more and more contemptuous. In his heart, the Shen family must not be able to stir up any trouble.

And in his mind, they came to the house to look for Mr. Wang just to seek asylum. The reason why I didn't accept their wallets was just to pretend to be noble.

Shen Bei was a little anxious and wanted to follow him together, but was stopped by Yao Shu.

"You wait here for news."

After hearing this, Shen Bei had no choice but to agree.

After Yao Shu and Shen Nanshan arrived at the house, they did not see Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang must have wanted to give them a blow and deliberately did not show up.
