When the officers and soldiers locked up these people, the truth about the murder was revealed.

According to the boss's confession, they first killed a person who walked in from another city gate. Then, he deliberately guided everyone to go through another city gate.

As long as everyone passes by his store entrance, he will fool him into the store. Then the forced buying and selling began. If the other party was unwilling to buy, the waiter would beat them up.

They thought the plan was flawless, but they didn't expect it to be discovered.

As for the subsequent murders, they were just beating the customers in the store to death and then pretending to be people entering the city.

After hearing this, Yao Shu snorted coldly: "I didn't expect that such a thing would happen under the eyes of the county magistrate."

The county magistrate scratched his head in embarrassment: "Mrs. Shen was made to laugh."

"Actually, this is not a very important issue. The reason why the county magistrate did not notice it is simply because most people would not want to enter a shop like that. And it is for this reason that the shop owner is lucky. Psychological marketing tactics to force buying and selling.”

Having said this, Yao Shu couldn't help but sigh again.

The county magistrate looked at Yao Shu with admiration: "Mrs. Shen is really smart and can be so astute. I really admire her. If Mrs. Shen doesn't mind, I would like to hold a banquet in the mansion and invite you all to come and be guests." "

After hearing this, Yao Shu thought about it carefully and refused: "I'm really sorry. Our trip is really urgent and we need to go to the next place immediately."

Ling'er on the side couldn't help but her eyes turned red: "Then when will you come back?"

Yao Shu thought for a moment: "We will meet again if we are destined."

This sentence tells Ling'er that they will not return to this city for a while. They don't know when they can return to the capital from the Western Regions. Everything is unknown.

Hearing this, Ling'er was even more frustrated.

She nodded in despair, and finally set her sights on Li Chen.

After a moment, she couldn't help but take out the letter in her arms and hand it to Li Chen: "I wonder if Mr. Li can lend me a moment to speak. I have something important to tell you."

Li Chen wanted to refuse, but Yao Shu beside him knew that Ling'er was deeply devoted to him: "Go quickly, maybe there is something really important. We are not in a hurry to leave now, we can wait until you finish talking. "

Li Chen and Ling'er entered the room alone and began to discuss. No one knew what they were talking about. But when she came out, Ling'er had a smile on her face, while Li Chen had a shy expression.

Before leaving, Li Chen said softly: "I will find you when I come back from the Western Regions."

"I'll wait for you here."

The conversation between the two of them made Shen Bei and Shen Jianan unable to help but make noises.

Li Chen didn't say anything more and immediately urged everyone to start their journey.

Next, they officially passed the Taihang Mountains.

The moment they crossed the Taihang Mountains, they saw Shen Qiu standing not far away with a few guards.

Yao Shu felt happy and immediately pointed to the front and told everyone: "Look, the boss is here."

I thought I could hear other people cheering, but I didn't expect that several other people looked at the place Yao Shu pointed at with puzzled faces: "There is nothing, mother, did you see it wrong?"

Yao Shu blinked and took a closer look and found that Shen Qiu was indeed missing.

Could it be that he was just hallucinating just now?

Yao Shu only thought that she was too tired from the journey and didn't take it seriously.

But soon, other people around her had hallucinations one after another, and Yao Shu realized that something was wrong.

She remembered the medicine Wang Feng gave her and immediately distributed it to everyone.

"This fog is very likely to be similar to the one I encountered before. Let's drink the antidote quickly to avoid being poisoned for a while." Yao Shu began to distribute the antidote to several people.

Before everyone had time to drink, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Everyone was in a daze and almost fell down.

Shen Bei opened the curtain and was about to curse angrily when he saw several burly men surrounding the carriage looking at him provocatively.

He frowned subconsciously and asked, "Brothers, what are you doing?"

"I drove this mountain, and I planted this road. If you cross here again, you have to pay the toll."

One of the men held a machete and pointed it at Shen Bei.

This appearance shocked everyone present. They were really unlucky along the way.

Every time you go to a new place, you will encounter a new trouble.

Li Chen couldn't hold himself back and was about to fight with the people in front of him, but was stopped by Yao Shu.

"They don't look that simple. You have to be careful."

"I see."

Li Chen slowly got out of the car and began to negotiate with the people in front of him.

Several big men looked at Li Chen's appearance and felt that he looked very familiar.

After a moment, one of the men asked cautiously: "Are you the Young Master of the Li family?"

Li Chen won, he wanted to deny it. But thinking about it, he is now with so many people, and openly admitting his identity can prevent these people in front of him from harming the Shen family.

The next second, the man breathed a sigh of relief.

He bowed respectfully to Li Chen and said in a low voice: "We are ignorant of Mount Tai and did not know Mr. Li was coming. Since we are Mr. Li's friends, we will not disturb him too much."

After Li Chen got in the car, others asked him why, and he shook his head in confusion.

Seeing that he didn't know what happened, Yao Shu and others didn't ask too many questions.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly reacted.

He looked at Yao Shu with some surprise: "Could it be that Mr. Li they are talking about is my younger brother?"

At present, it seems that there is no such possibility, and Yao Shu was so skeptical at first. But shouldn't Young Master Li be in the Western Region? How can his power extend to the Taihang Mountains?

She couldn't make up her mind, so she could only comfort Li Chen and everyone: "Don't be so panicked. Since we have been let go, let's keep moving forward."

The princess asked cautiously: "Could it be that people from the Minister of Rites chased us, so these people just now knew our identities."

"Not necessarily, please don't worry princess, we can only take one step at a time."

Although Yao Shu comforted the princess in this way, she could not make up her mind.

After all, the other party is hiding, and we are showing the light.

The best thing they can do now is to show off their tactics and never take the initiative.

The temperature outside dropped sharply, and soon snowflakes began to fall.
