Shen Lanxi put away her smile and looked at the so-called family members of Wei's army with cold eyes.

"The Wei family army has no flag. Who sent you to kill people and silence them?"

The family members of the Wei family were immediately panicked and quickly denied it: "We are just ordinary people. How could we know the flag of the Wei family? You deceived us. What is your relationship with the Shen family? Why are you speaking for them?"

"Don't listen to her nonsense, she is here to help the Shen family, kill the Shen family quickly!"

Shen Lanxi shouted: "You don't even know that the flag of our Great Zhou Dynasty army has the word Zhou in it. You are pretending to be family members of the Wei Family Army. The Shen family has nothing to do with the theft of the Wei Family Army's military pay. They are being wrongly accused. The person behind the scenes who ordered you to kill and silence the witnesses is the real culprit of the theft of the Wei Family Army's military pay!"

"You're talking nonsense, we are the family members of the Wei family army!"

"Kill her, she is also a member of the Shen family!"

Shen Lanxi said firmly: "You are afraid and anxious, because there are no Wei family members behind you. Your actions are tantamount to treason. Who would not be a good civilian and die with you!"

Chunxue immediately shouted to cheer: "You are fake Wei's army family members, the real culprits of the Wei's army's food and wages being stolen, I will take you to the authorities now!"

Liu Lao Hu looked at the panicked look of the fake Wei family army and was certain in his heart that what Shen Lanxi said was true and there was no one behind them.

"Catch them and hand them over to the authorities. They will definitely reward you handsomely!"

When the yamen runners heard the words "there will be a huge reward", they immediately raised their swords and started chopping!

When the fake family members of Wei's army saw that their plan was exposed, they dropped their farm tools and turned around to run into the mountains.

After the yamen runner chased for dozens of meters, he was stopped by Liu Lao Hu.

"Don't chase the desperate enemy, hurry up!"

It was obvious that this matter was not simple. Liu Lao Hu took one look at the Shen family and felt that they were hot potatoes that he could neither throw away nor deal with. He cursed loudly and immediately took out his whip to vent his anger on the exiled prisoners.

Shen Lanxi glanced in the direction of Shen Yuanzhan. Eat her and hers, and push her father out to take the blame?

When they set out again, the yamen runners sped up significantly. Anyone who walked slowly would be whipped without a word.

There were constant wailing sounds along the way, but fortunately, after experiencing the incident with the fake Wei family army's family members, the Shen family members all walked forward honestly and no one was whipped!

"Sir, what should we do with this person?" There was still a fake family member who was tied up and had not been dealt with.

Shen Lanxi: "Tie him to the back of the carriage, don't let him run away."

"Yes!"

The sun was blazing, and after walking for more than two hours, a prisoner was so thirsty that he went to ask the yamen runner for water. He was whipped more than ten times by the yamen runner. Others did not dare to take the bad luck, so they took out money to buy water.

"Father, I'm so thirsty!" Shen Yuanqing saw several uncles drinking water at home and couldn't help but said to his father.

Shen Congwen also saw it. Thinking of how he was pushed out by the people in his third brother's room to take the blame, disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"The money is with your grandmother. I'll go ask her for some!"

Several children nodded quickly, they were all thirsty.

No one knew what Shen Congwen said over there, but he soon came back in a dejected state.

"Father, is the money coming?" Shen Yuanqing asked hurriedly.

Shen Congwen lowered his head and said nothing.

"Father..." Several younger children in the eldest house shouted again.

Suddenly Shen Yuanjing screamed.

"Mother, what's the matter with you?"

Zhou Xinrou felt a black screen before her eyes, her legs went limp, and she was about to fall, but Shen Yuanjing quickly caught her.

"Father, mother is so hot!"

Shen Congwen became anxious and quickly touched his wife's forehead.

"Your mother has a fever!"

The eldest wife's legitimate children were all anxious.

"Father, what should we do? Can we get a doctor here?"

"Father, let's go ask the yamen runner for help? I'm sure my elder sister has a way!"

Shen Congwen looked at his wife with heartache, annoyed at his own powerlessness, and pounded his legs hard.

"Today's incident has already made it very difficult for your elder sister. The yamen runners almost failed to get your elder sister to deliver us lunch at noon. We cannot make it difficult for your elder sister again!"

He finally understood why his daughter had to hide her identity and even had to secretly send them meat.

"You wait!"

When Shen Congwen stood up again, his eyes were firm and he walked towards Old Madam Shen with big strides.

When I came back, I had a kettle, a fever-reducing medicine, and half a bag of silver in my hands!

"Drink it. If it's not enough, go ask the yamen runner for more!"

"Father, please give Mother some to drink first. I will carry her on my back later!" Shen Yuanjing said hurriedly.

"Let's take turns carrying mother!" responded the other children.

Shen Congwen's eyes were red and he almost cried.

No matter how good he was to his parents and brothers in the past, when something happened, the only ones who were willing to help him unconditionally were his own children.

He will never be as confused as he was in the past!

At night, there was no post station, so after the sun set, the yamen runners found a flat place to spend the night.

After the exiled prisoners received the order to rest, they immediately lay down on the ground and groaned.

In the past, the yamen runners would not walk as fast as they did today, and several elderly runners found it a bit too much to handle.

"Brother Liu, why are we walking so fast?" the yamen runner asked after sitting down.

Liu Lao Hu looked around with a worried look on his face but didn't respond.

"Brother Liu, was what the man said today true or false? If someone really killed someone to silence him, wouldn't the Shen family be wrongly accused?"

After hearing this, Liu Lao Hu immediately kicked the person who spoke and sternly scolded him: "If you don't want to die, don't talk nonsense!"

The yamen runner who was kicked trembled with fear immediately and dared not speak anymore.

"Brothers, tell them to be more alert tonight. You can take turns to keep watch!" Liu Lao Hu pointed to a few people.

The yamen runners also sensed the danger from Liu Lao Hu's arrangements, and their courage grew.

Mother Li carried a bamboo basket and brought food to Liu Lao Hu and the others, including two roast chickens, two pieces of braised beef, and a big bag of steamed buns!

If it weren't for what happened today, the yamen runners would have definitely enjoyed the food and even praised themselves for being good people, but now no one dares to reach out to take anything.

Liu Lao Hu looked at the fragrant braised beef, snorted, and was the first to reach out to take it!

"Eat as much as you want. We can't eat such precious things normally!" If he really wanted to do something to them, he would have done it long ago. After eating a few good meals, Liu Lao Hu didn't want to eat cold and hard cakes again!

After Mother Li returned home, she packed another basket of food.

"Sir, I'm going to deliver food to the master and his wife!"

Since the yamen runners ate the food she gave them, they would definitely not stop her from giving it to the Shen family.

"Chunxue, take some medicine and send it to Mother Li!"

Haruyuki hurried to get it.

Shen Lanxi took out a stick from the carriage and placed it upright on the shaft, then jumped off the carriage to stretch her muscles.

There’s a tough battle tonight, so warm up in advance!
