Zhou Zhen looked at her and told her frankly, "They only said that the criminal whose property was confiscated escaped, but they didn't say what crime he committed."

Yaoguang couldn't help shedding tears: "Haha, of course the government doesn't dare to tell the truth.

Because the fact is: the emperor's son, Prince Cheng, allowed his slaves to commit crimes, raped women, and bought land by force.

He even wantonly killed and injured several people. His crimes are so heinous that they are difficult to list.

He does not punish his son.

But she wanted to punish the minister who exposed her son and confiscate his property. The emperor had already openly disregarded reason and law.

Is there still reason in this world?"

Yaoguang's chest heaved violently, and he was obviously very excited and angry.

"The evil slave who killed people is still at home and has not been punished, and the emperor's son is also still at large.

But my relatives are going to be executed.

Where is justice?

Yaoguang couldn't stop crying as he spoke.

"Is my father wrong?

So many officials and their families saw it. The evil slave from Prince Cheng's mansion killed someone in the Bai family workshop. The censor also saw it.

They didn't dare to say a fair word for those who were killed and their families were destroyed, but my father just couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes.

He wanted to speak for the victims and protect others, but who can protect him and my family now?

Zhou Zhen narrowed his eyes. Cheng Wang Mansion? Bai Family Workshop? Murder?

Does this matter have anything to do with my family?

He asked calmly: "How did you escape when your house was raided?"

Yaoguang sniffed and calmed himself down:

"I was out on the days when the incident happened, and was stopped on my way back by one of my father's friends.

He didn't let me go and file a complaint, saying that the old emperor openly killed people to protect his son and to establish his authority, and if I went back now I would just be giving away another life.

He asked me to escape, but I refused, so he knocked me out and sent me away. When I woke up, I had already left the capital.

She sobbed a few times and then continued:

"I want to go back immediately, even if I can't win the lawsuit, I will still sue.

I want everyone in the world to know the emperor's true face. My father's death cannot be in vain.

But I can’t go back. The soldiers are looking for me everywhere. I’m afraid I won’t be able to see my parents and brother alive.”

It turns out that the much-talked-about case of the Guanglu Temple doctor's house being confiscated had such a reason.

As expected, serving the king is like serving a tiger. You never know when the tiger will turn against you and swallow you.

Zhou Zhen had a plan in mind.

Said to Yaoguang: "Since your father can protect others without regard for the consequences, we can protect his children.

You can hide safely in the caravan. Nowadays, you are not as safe as in the caravan."

Yaoguang looked at Manager Zhou in disbelief. Would anyone dare to go against the emperor? Or was he trying to calm himself down before reporting to the government?

She has been in the caravan for some time. These people are very loyal to the underworld and have no respect for the imperial court.

Maybe he is someone you can really trust.

She had been displaced for so long, never letting her guard down for a moment, and was very tired and worried all the time.

At this moment, she really wanted to stay, even for a moment.

She didn't want to run around like a stray dog, being chased by soldiers.

She hesitated and asked bitterly, "Aren't you afraid that the caravan will be implicated by me?"

Zhou Zhen said firmly: "Some people will always do some things."

Yaoguang stayed and the caravan remained calm.

It seemed like everyone knew nothing, and yet it seemed like everyone knew everything.

But no one raised any objection.

Shi Yi and several core members of the caravan were already aware of the situation and had sent people back to the Bai family to find out the details.

When the caravan was first established, there were many things to sort out and many relationships to manage. Shi Yi was very busy but fulfilled.

The route for this caravan was planned for a long time, and everyone agreed to take the smoothest trade route.

Then, we must eliminate the large and small bandits and villages entrenched in this trade route and clear all obstacles.

Shi Yi and Zhou Zhen made good arrangements, and the caravan set out again, marching into the previous restricted area of ​​the caravan - the 800-li Panlong Mountain official road.

This official road was originally a very convenient official road.

But since the turbulent situation and unstable borders, bandits have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, with hundreds of villages popping up all at once, forming an unshakable force.

The imperial court was too busy to take care of it, and a large number of refugees poured into the border, giving the mountain strongholds the opportunity to grow and develop.

With so many bandits, every time a merchant caravan passed through the country it was either robbed or severely exploited. It was not uncommon for them to lose all their money and even their families to be destroyed.

Gradually, no caravan dared to set foot on this road, preferring to take a detour several hundred miles further.

Since the caravans stopped coming, the bandits turned their targets to passers-by.

They never let go of anyone who robbed them of their money, resulting in few people daring to walk on this official road in the past two years.

Shi Yi asked Zhou Zhen to lead the Bai family caravan on this road.

Zhou Zhen wanted to disagree at first, but he always remembered the repeated instructions of the head of the Bai family.

Let him listen to Shi Yi whenever he encounters a disagreement with Shi Yi.

Although Zhou Zhen didn't know why, he had to obey the master's orders.

He used to be the manager of the Bai family caravan, but the Bai family caravan had been shut down for three years, so his life had certainly been quite difficult in the past few years.

The Bai family was being targeted and suppressed, so how could he, as the manager of the Bai family, have any good thing happen to him?

Therefore, now that the Bai family's situation has improved, he will have the opportunity to display his talents again and let his family live the good life they used to.

Therefore, only when the Bai family is doing well can he do well, and he will resolutely carry out the orders of the head of the Bai family.

Since the head of the family trusts this little girl so much, he will not underestimate her. After a few years of silence, he has become more sophisticated and more stable.

Besides, the goods are in short supply this time. As long as we can get them across safely, it will be a huge profit. Fortune and wealth are sought in danger!
