On the second day, the court was in chaos just as Murong Xun had guessed.

Say anything.

The emperor looked very pleased, with a smile on his face.

Just watch their performance quietly.

Even Wei Zhong felt that his move was inappropriate and that he should discuss with court officials before drafting new laws.

The emperor still sat on the dragon throne, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

Only when the emperor had seen enough did he order the person to be brought up.

When the ministers saw the person being brought up, they were stunned.

They couldn't help but lower their proud heads and whispered to each other.

"Your Majesty didn't kill them. How come these people are still alive?"

"If they were still alive, His Majesty would have known about the assassination when he was promoting the book."

The person who said this was stepped on hard by the person next to him, who even glared at him.

"If you want to die, don't implicate us. We have no intention of murdering Your Majesty."

Someone next to him continued talking.

"I have clearly contacted the prison guards, but they all said it was not in the prison under their jurisdiction."

"Well, His Majesty must have hidden it in a more secret place."

The emperor signaled to Manager Zhao to cough twice.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

The emperor smiled and said, "I see that you all are very dissatisfied with what I have done."

"Why don't you tell me the reason? Maybe I will change my mind."

The ministers below were so angry that none of them dared to say a word.

The emperor was obviously threatening them. If they dared not agree, the blame would be put on them.

Even if they were not involved, I'm afraid they will be blamed for this matter.

It’s because few of them are completely clean.

At this time, the sensible ones had already taken a step forward and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I misunderstood you earlier. I think your suggestion is excellent."

The rest also said that they were too reckless.

I wanted to slap myself hard twice.

Why can't you get over it and want to challenge the emperor?

If you don’t get the shot this year, you can always come back next year, and you’ll be the one making the money then.

Why do you owe me so much? What if you lose your life?

What they didn't know was that the emperor had already contacted those who had herbal medicine shops under his command last night and said that as long as they were willing to sell medicine at a low price this year, their herbal medicine industry would give them the title of imperial merchants.

Even next year's new stuff will definitely give them a copy.

When the businessmen heard this, they became more enthusiastic than each other, and two of them had already purchased the patent rights to use the fireworks.

Now there is one more medicinal herb, which makes me even more excited.

You know, with this name, it would be easy for them to make the money back.

They all expressed that they would deliver the medicinal materials with guaranteed quality and quantity.

After all, this is related to next year's profits, so we can't be careless.

So they all walked out of the palace with sad faces, fearing that people would guess what the emperor had promised them.

After all, there are so many people doing medicinal materials business.

In case someone intercepts them, send the herbs to Songfeng Town first.

How can they openly get the title of imperial merchant next year from the emperor?

When Lin Shu and his party were on their way to see Qingzhen off, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Shen Xi and Lin Shu were awakened, and Shen Xi put Lin Shu in the car.

He drew aside the curtain and looked outside.

They found that their way was blocked by a group of horse thieves.

Those people looked ferocious, staring at the boxes behind Shen Xi, their eyes full of greed.

"Boss! These guys are fat."

"As long as we kill them, everything will be ours."

The man called Boss looked at the marks left by the tire tracks and frowned.

"What's that look in your eyes?"

"Looking at the wheel tracks, it's obvious that this thing is not worth much."

"You unlucky thing, if you hadn't said they had dozens of boxes of silver, would I have come out to rob the soldiers with you?"

"Now, I haven't found anything valuable, and I might even lose my life here."

The leader of the horse thieves let out a fierce "Puh" sound.

Although he was disgusted, he still called his brothers, "Since we are here, we can't go back empty-handed."

"I see that the boy in the carriage is very tender-skinned and looks like he belongs to a wealthy family."

"Take it back and make a fortune!"

As he said this, he led his men to rush over.

The six masters around Shen Xi were not just for show. They glanced at them with contempt and then went forward.

Shen Xi hugged Lin Shu tightly. The people he brought with him were all imperial guards disguised as ordinary guards.

This gave the horse thieves the courage to rob. Even with so many of them, they still dared to attack.

The leader of the horse thieves is indeed quite capable.

Fighting one against two is not a disadvantage.

It’s a pity that his brothers were not so lucky and were kicked off their horses one after another.

Lying on the ground groaning.

The horse thief leader wanted to escape when he saw the situation was not good, but there was no way he could escape the pursuit of six masters.

In the end, he was tied up and brought back.

The man was tied up with his own belt but still refused to behave himself.

"Who are you, pretty boy? You have so many experts escorting you."

"If you hadn't cheated, all the guards you brought with you would not be my match."

After saying that, he spoke to the people who tied him up.

"Your grandfather's legs, tie me up with my belt."

"My pants are about to fall off, are you guys holding them up for me?"

Shen Xi frowned when he heard this. Di Lan's several masters had been working for the royal family, and their martial arts skills had not improved, but they had learned a lot about the ability to read people's expressions.

He found a piece of rag from somewhere and used it to cover the mouth of the horse thief leader.

After doing all this, he looked at Shen Xi, waiting for Shen Xi's instructions.

Shen Xi was also a little confused and couldn't help but look at Lin Shu in his arms.

Lin Shu and Shen Xi stared at each other.

[Take him back and hand him over to the police? And then confiscate his property?]

When Shen Xi heard Lin Shu's inner voice, his confused look instantly disappeared and he waved his hand.

"Take them away and bring them before the judge."

"And take all their horses away from me."

So Shen Xi and his group led the horse thieves into Songfeng Town.

Not long after they entered Songfeng Town, the villagers in the town pointed and talked about Shen Xi and his group.

Soon they were stopped by the people.

Shen Xi's face was filled with joy, and he said to Lin Shu, "Fubao, look how popular we are."

"As soon as we arrived here, we were greeted by the people lining the streets."

Lin Shu observed the expressions of the people outside through the gap in the car curtain.

She really didn't understand where Shen Xi got the confidence to say that these villagers were here to welcome them.

[Shen Xi, open your eyes and take a good look? ]

[Do you have an eye disease? ]

[If you have an eye disease, treat it first! ]

Shen Xi was bewildered by what Lin Shu said and didn't understand what he meant.

Until he opened the car curtain and a rotten egg hit him on the head.

Only then did he understand why Lin Shu scolded him for having poor eyesight.

He admitted that Lin Shu was right.

These villagers are so scary. Why are they glaring at them so covetously? Countless vegetable leaves and rotten eggs are thrown at their carriages.

Until an aunt appeared, pointed at Shen Xi's carriage and started scolding him.

"Where did you come from, you bastards? How dare you kidnap my son?"

"I'm going to fight you to death!"

The rest of the people also responded.

"That's right, put down my second dog."

"Get out of Songfeng Town! We don't welcome you!"
