I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.
Chapter 38: Money is hot, and there is a dilemma
Zhang Erniu nodded and smiled, then ran out to find Meng Zhuang.
A moment later, Meng Zhuang hurried to the cell door without even putting on his clothes.
"Master Du, may I have a word with you?"
Meng Zhuang glanced at the cell, bowed to the palace guard Du Tianli, and spoke politely.
Du Tianli raised his eyebrows and took two steps forward.
Meng Zhuang hurriedly followed in small steps, bent over to Du Tianli's side, and said softly,
"Master Du, you don't know that we haven't left the capital yet, and there are so many eyes watching us.
If we take action against the Xiao family at this time, wouldn’t we be given an opportunity to use force against them?
Besides, the Xiao family members are very fierce. If they all die accidentally, I won’t be able to explain myself here.”
Meng Zhuang licked his lips and continued with a sly smile,
"Master Du, just wait a little while. Once we enter Guangfeng City early tomorrow morning, there will be fewer spies from all sides after we pass Guangfeng City.
We will have plenty of time to deal with the Xiao family then... Hehe... As for the eldest lady of the Lin family, I will also have someone send me to your room, so I can just do whatever you want..."
Meng Zhuang rubbed his hands and grinned at Du Tianli in a flattering manner, but there was no smile in his eyes.
What the hell is going on?
In all my years of service, this is the most troublesome time ever.
He just received a hundred taels of silver and a secret letter on the way in the afternoon, asking him to make the Xiao family suffer.
He was in high spirits and planned to take advantage of his drunkenness after dinner to beat up the Xiao family and complete his mission.
As a result, before he could deal with the Xiao family, he was found by the palace guards when he arrived at the post station.
Fortunately, the purpose of the palace guards and the person who delivered the secret letter was the same, which was to make life difficult for the Xiao family.
As long as the purpose is the same, let’s do it together.
The brothers happily ate the wine and food treated by the palace guards.
He was lying on the bed after eating and drinking, waiting for his men to bring his concubine, when suddenly a package fell from the roof.
When he opened it, he found that there were five hundred taels of silver notes inside.
Of course he was very excited and thrilled to see so much silver.
As a result, he opened the secret letter wrapped in the silver note.
He was dumbfounded.
Content of the secret letter: Escort the Xiao family safely through Guangfeng City.
This silver is really hot.
After passing Guangfeng City, one road leads to Ningguta and the other leads to Brahma City.
The purpose of the messenger is self-evident: he wants to rob someone.
After hesitating for a long time, he decided not to touch the Xiao family tonight for the sake of the five hundred taels.
This would prevent the kidnapper from seeing the injuries on Xiao’s body and then killing him with a knife.
As a result, the palace guards came to cause trouble again.
He wants to make more money, why is it so difficult?
Du Tianli chuckled and glanced towards the roof.
Then he crossed his arms and looked Meng Zhuang up and down.
"You don't have to send it to me. I'm just suggesting that Lord Meng doesn't need to be so nervous."
No matter how many spies hiding in the dark come, they still dare to hide in the dark.
He was ordered by the emperor to monitor the Xiao family, and he was not on the same level as them.
But let’s just forget about the matter of accepting the eldest daughter of the Lin family.
There are so many spies watching them. If he does this to embarrass the Lin family, it will be disadvantageous to him when the news gets back to the capital.
He is not like Meng Zhuang, so he doesn't need to stay in the capital. The Lin family has no chance of dealing with Meng Zhuang.
Lin Yiran pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation between the two and chuckled.
What a coincidence, she also planned to wait until she passed Guangfeng City before taking action.
This place is too close to the capital, and the gates of Guangfeng City are closed now.
If a commotion breaks out at this time, they won't be able to leave the city, which will delay their escape, and the enemy's reinforcements will arrive quickly.
Even if Xiao Yunzhan had fully recovered now, she was extremely strong, so it would not be easy for her to escape.
The old are old, the young are young, and the weak are weak. If they are not careful, they will be held hostage.
It will be difficult to deal with it if we are tied up at that time.
After passing Guangfeng City and before reaching the next post station, she can take action.
Lin Yiran drooped her eyelids, silently thinking about where would be the best place to start.
Before that, she had to find a way to persuade the Xiao family to go to Brahma City.
When Xiao Yunzhan listened to what Meng Zhuang and the palace guards said, his eyes first fell on Lin Yiran's face.
He could hear the conversation outside, and Lin Yiran could definitely hear it too.
Looking at Lin Yiran's expressionless face, Xiao Yunzhan frowned in surprise.
Instead, he had a little more admiration for Lin Yiran.
It's rare to find a woman who can remain so calm when faced with such a situation.
"Yes, yes, yes~ Thank you Lord Du for your advice." Meng Zhuang nodded repeatedly, "Lord Du must be tired after a day's journey. I'll let the brothers look after the cell. You can go to the guest room to have a rest. I'll give it to you later---"
Meng Zhuang pointed at the concubines of the Niu family with a lewd smile on his face.
Du Tianli hesitated for a moment, and looking at the weak and petite concubine, a fire instantly rose in his dantian.
When Meng Zhuang saw Du Tianli's expression, he knew there was nothing he didn't understand.
He immediately ordered two officers to guard the cell door, and then half-pulled and half-dragged Du Tianli to the guest room.
The officials carried the concubine who had taken the initiative to go out with them, laughing and following behind the two men with grins on their faces.
Li Erniu quickly locked the cell and stood guard at the door with a gloomy face.
After working for a long time, he was left behind to watch over the cell.
It’s really frustrating.
After the officers left, all the concubines of the Niu family in the cell breathed a sigh of relief.
The Xiao family cannot swallow this.
"He--tui---what!"
The second sister-in-law spat at the cell door, reached out and held Lin Yiran's hand on her arm, and squeezed it gently to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid, Fourth Sister-in-law. I'm here and I won't let those beasts touch you. The worst that can happen is that we'll both die together."
The second sister-in-law gritted her teeth in hatred, wishing she could kill those officials directly.
Even if she was stupid, she knew that the palace guards letting the officials humiliate her fourth brother's wife was just the beginning.
If the Xiao family doesn't fight to the death, it will be their turn next.
Every single one of them will be killed, no one will be able to escape.
Before they even left the capital, the dog emperor couldn't wait to harm them.
The Xiao family was loyal to such a tyrant emperor. It was a waste of so many good men in the Xiao family.
"I'm not afraid. Those officers are no match for my fist. If you're not afraid of death, then let them come and give it a try. Let's see which is harder, my fist or their head!"
Lin Yiran waved her fist with a look of disdain.
She wished the officers would take her away alone so that she could deal with them directly.
She had so many weapons in her space, and suddenly she took out a dagger and stabbed it directly into the chest of the officer. They probably died before they could even react.
Although she had never killed anyone and was still a little nervous, she just changed her mind and thought of these officers as paper people, and instantly she was not so scared anymore.
Just think of it as tearing a piece of paper, the psychological pressure won’t be that great.
In this cannibalistic dynasty, if she doesn't kill people, she will be killed by others.
In times of chaos, the Virgin Mary should be killed first. This is not just a casual saying.
Everything has a first time. I won’t offend anyone unless they offend me. But if someone offends me, I will kill him with one blow.
This was a matter of life and death, and she fought for eternal life.
