Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Half an hour later, he met Qiu Shuang at the door of the inn. On their way back, they bought some food before going to the city gate.

Liu Lao Hu had returned and was now squatting anxiously at the city gate, eating bread with other yamen runners.

After receiving Shen Lanxi's signal, Chunxue took the food and sent it over. When she came back, she brought back the news revealed by Liu Lao Hu.

"Sir, the Yongcheng County Court is not allowed to exile criminals into the city!"

Shen Lanxi ate the buns while listening. The meat buns in her hand only cost four cents each in the capital, but they were already sold for twenty cents in Yongcheng. Judging from the situation, the price will increase!

Qiu Shuang: "When we first came here, the entrance fee was one tael of silver per person, but now it has risen to two taels!"

Shen Lanxi carefully ate the bun crumbs that fell on her hands. There was no such thing as forbidding exiled criminals to enter the city before!

Before she finished her meal, Liu Lao Hu came over.

"Master Lan, common people are not allowed to enter Yongcheng. I can tell from the looks of it that you are a scholar, smarter than us rough folks. Now that things are like this, I want to hear what you have to say!"

Shen Lanxi smiled faintly: "Since Brother Liu mentioned this, I will be bold and tell you what I think!"

The expression on Liu Lao Hu's face relaxed!

"I suggest that we prepare the things we need for the journey and set off immediately while there are not many refugees at the city gate!"

As for where to go, that is Liu Lao Hu’s concern!

When Liu Lao Hu came to find Shen Lanxi, he already had an idea in mind. Yongcheng did not allow exiled prisoners to enter, which clearly showed that they were unwilling to accept them. There were more and more refugees at the city gate, and if things went on for a long time, there might be a conflict!

Once a conflict occurs, those of them wearing official uniforms will be the first to become targets of the refugees' venting of their anger!

Just as Liu Lao Hu was about to make a decision, a few refugees suddenly jumped out and knelt in front of them to beg for food.

"Kind old man, please give us a drink of water and a bite of food!"

"My elderly and children haven't eaten for two days..."

Although these people were kneeling on the ground begging, their eyes were fixed on their carriage. If they didn't agree, they would probably rush up and rob it immediately!

Liu Lao Hu made a prompt decision and immediately drew out his sword.

"If you don't want to die, get out of here. I'm escorting prisoners. If you dare to come up here, you're robbing the prisoners. The government won't hold you accountable even if I kill you!"

Liu Lao Hu was a fierce man with a fierce aura, and those people immediately ran away in fear!

"I will order people to go into the city to buy things, and leave immediately after buying them!"

Shen Lanxi nodded, said hello to the Shen family, and walked away with the three carriages to wait for them!

After waiting for about half an hour, Liu Lao Hu came back and the exiled prisoners began to set off.

"Master, they just bought a few bags of food!" Qiu Shuang said sharply.

Shen Lanxi: "The price of food in the city is skyrocketing now. It's already pretty good that they can get a few bags!"

Qiu Shuang nodded.

Not long after he left, Liu Lao Hu sent someone over to tell him that a female member and two children of the Shen family had developed a high fever.

Liu Lao Hu began to give her face and show his goodwill to her.

The female family member with fever was my father's concubine Zhang Zifen, and the children from my second and fourth uncle's rooms, one three years old and the other four years old, both still young.

"Father, I didn't take care of my mother when she had a fever before. I won't take care of my concubine when she has a fever this time either. Just take the two children with you!"

Shen Congwen glanced at the exiled prisoners around him who were staring at them hungrily, and nodded.

"Go ahead. If there is any extra medicine, give some to the other exiled prisoners."

Shen Lanxi nodded, and after returning, she asked Qiu Shuang to take Mother Li and the others to give antipyretic medicine to the prisoners one by one!

The prisoners were still angry at first, and they took the medicine given by Qiu Shuang and others, but they didn't say anything else!

The people from the other three branches of the Shen family also kept quiet.

Not sure whether the two children's fever would be contagious, Shen Lanxi asked Qiu Shuang to put the two children in the carriage alone. Under the pretext of taking care of the children, she fed them some anti-inflammatory drugs!

In the carriage, she poured out the rouge and powder she bought from the shop in Yongcheng, filled it with the dark foundation she bought from Xiandai, and taught Qiu Shuang and Chun Xue to paint their faces dark. She also painted her face dark and used an eyebrow pencil to paint freckles all over her face.

The further north they went, the more refugees there were, and the less green there was on the ground. They also encountered several mutilated corpses on the road.

At first the exiled prisoners were crying out of fear, but as they walked further they became more numb. When they saw the corpses again, they looked just like they were seeing dead cats and dogs on the roadside, without even a trace of sadness on their faces.

This transformation took only two days.

On the third day, Liu Lao Hu ran out of food and water. Fortunately, when he was about to ask Shen Lanxi for help, he finally arrived at the post station!

"What the hell? You ask us for money? We are yamen runners who are ordered to escort prisoners!" Liu Lao Hu angrily slammed the table at the shopkeeper!

The shopkeeper was so frightened that his legs almost weakened and he almost collapsed on the ground. He quickly begged for mercy, saying, "We can't do anything. The price of food has skyrocketed, and drinking water costs money. The money that the court should have given us last month has not been paid yet."

When Liu Lao Hu saw how frightened the shopkeeper was, he became even more arrogant.

"Get lost! Hurry up and serve us so we can get on with our journey. If you delay our business, I will report to my superiors and have you, the shopkeeper, removed from office!"

The shopkeeper quickly tried to please him and asked the waiter to prepare the meal!

Shen Lanxi glanced at the shopkeeper and the waiter, and immediately called Liu Lao Hu outside to talk!

"Something's wrong!"

Liu Lao Hu now trusts Shen Lanxi very much. When he heard her say something was wrong, he immediately became alert.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Lanxi frowned and said, "The clothes worn by the shopkeeper and the waiter are obviously not suitable for them. Their skin color is too dark!"

The shopkeeper and the waiter often stay in the inn. The skin color on their faces should not be so dark, and they are also thin, just like the refugees who have come all the way from the north under the sun!

Liu Lao Hu's eyes immediately flashed with ferocity: "Damn it, he dared to plot against me, I'm going to kill him!"

Shen Lanxi quickly grabbed the man and said, "A post station is equipped with at least six people. Those two alone can't handle six!"

Liu Lao Hu suddenly realized: "You mean there are others?"

Shen Lanxi: "I will stay here to stabilize the shopkeeper and the waiter, and you can lead the yamen runners to sneak in from the back."

Liu Lao Hu nodded and shouted to the shopkeeper, "I'll go out and count the prisoners first, and we'll eat after I come back!" As soon as he left the inn, he ordered half of the food and the yamen runners quietly went around to the back of the inn.

Shen Lanxi walked towards the shopkeeper.

"Boss, I want four of the best rooms. And the best food and wine in your restaurant. What dishes do you have? Is the cook clean?"

Liu Lao Hu went around to the back of the inn, and just as he stepped on the yamen runner's shoulder to get over the top of the wall and got a clear view of the yard, he quickly shrank back, covered the mouth of the yamen runner who was about to speak, and hurried back to call for help.

Damn it, there are a whole yard of people! They all have weapons in their hands, staring at the inn with eager eyes, as if they are planning to rush in at any time!
