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

Even though it was a nearly dried-up pool, it was still enough for people and horses to drink for several meals!

Qiu Shuang and Chun Xue received orders early in the morning. They stopped the people who rushed forward to drink the water to quench their thirst, took out two large black pots from the car, and started to boil water!

"Our master said that we have to boil water before drinking. If we drink unclean water in the wilderness and get diarrhea, even gods can't save us!"

Most of the exiled prisoners were officials. They understood this principle and waited until the water boiled before drinking it.

Another part are civilian exiles, who think they can eat unclean food without getting sick, so they don't listen to advice and drink directly, and secretly laugh at others for being so particular!

Liu Yanhui greeted the yamen runner and came over to help boil water.

Shen Lanxi watched calmly without expressing her opinion.

Soon Shen Yuanjing came over with several brothers and sisters to help. Shen Lanxi looked at the people who were diligently collecting firewood and decided to be extravagant!

"Mother Li, put up a few more pots to cook porridge, put more rice in, and make it thicker!"

Mother Li quickly took her son and daughter-in-law to untie the big pot from the carriage.

"Haruyuki, give everyone ten peanuts!"

"Qiushuang, take two dried chickens, chop them up and cook them into soup, and put some dried vegetables in it!"

Liu Lao Hu had been looking around early in the morning. Seeing that everyone was busy in an orderly manner, he immediately brought the prisoners' dry food over, heated it up and helped out!

In the blink of an eye, it was dark, and the aroma of food filled the mountains. This meal was the best and most delicious meal that all the exiled prisoners had ever eaten.

No one had time to talk, they just focused on eating and drinking!

Liu Yanhui walked up to Shen Lanxi with the bowl in her hand and sat on the big rock like her.

"Sir, I see wolf paw prints nearby. Wolves are nocturnal animals. We must be prepared at night!"

Shen Lanxi ate slowly: "Go talk to Liu Lao Hu, he will definitely reward you!"

Liu Yanhui knew that Shen Lanxi definitely didn't trust him yet, so he took the initiative to show his weakness.

"He will return to Beijing after sending the prisoners to Dongchuan. It won't do me much good if I try to please him. It doesn't matter if I suffer, but my mother and sister will be left alone and will definitely not make it to Dongchuan!"

Shen Lanxi's eyebrows moved: "You still have a mother and a sister?"

Liu Yanhui looked guilty: "I studied so that they could live a good life, but I didn't expect that after just a few days of good life, they would have to go to a bitter and cold place because of me!"

Men don't shed tears easily, but Liu Yanhui's eyes were already wet!

Shen Lanxi doesn't believe in tears. She believes that people who are tied to their families will think twice before doing anything!

She directly said: "You are implicated by my Shen family, don't you hate the Shen family?"

Liu Yanhui intuitively felt that the person in front of her didn't like empty talk, she preferred sincerity.

"I hated them at first, but I stopped hating them after I knew that the Shen family was not the real culprit in the theft of military pay. The Shen family did not gain any benefits, but were exiled together with us. My hatred for the Shen family has been resolved!"

Shen Lanxi raised her head and looked straight at Liu Yanhui.

"How do you know that the real culprit in the theft of military pay is not a member of the Shen family? You are in charge of filing the military pay files. Did you notice anything?"

Her sharp eyes were fixed on Liu Yanhui.

"I judged it based on the assassination on the road and the lost document. I manage the documents very strictly, and there must be a record of everyone's review. There are two locks on the door of the archive room, and only the officials in the Ministry of Revenue and I have the keys. During the period when the documents were lost, the officials did not enter or leave the archive room, and there was no sign of damage to the door lock."

Shen Lanxi: "So, you, the person who holds the key, are convicted?"

Liu Yanhui opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but he didn't know how to start. He could only turn his grief and anger into appetite and took a few big mouthfuls of rice!

"Have you read the file carefully?" Shen Lanxi asked.

Liu Yanhui quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "I have read it. It is just a normal official document. It has your father's handwriting and seal on it."

Shen Lanxi didn't believe it. Before the incident, this file was insignificant. After the incident, it disappeared. Apart from the evidence of the theft of military pay in this file, she couldn't think of a second explanation!

"You want to overturn the verdict." She blurted out in a decisive tone!

Liu Yan nodded: "As long as you can help me overturn the case and clear my name, I am willing to be loyal to you for the rest of my life and serve you at your service!"

Shen Lanxi stared at Liu Yanhui and chuckled, "I don't have that much ability. You've asked the wrong person!"

Liu Yanhui said firmly: "Even if the verdict cannot be overturned, as long as you can keep my mother and sister safe, my life will belong to you from now on!"

Shen Lanxi pondered for two seconds: "This deal of yours is not worth it. Even if I go to Dongchuan and hire an accountant, it will only cost me half a tael of silver a month at most. I have to pay you wages and support your mother and sister. With this money, I can hire four accountants!"

Liu Yanhui gritted his teeth and knelt down in front of Shen Lanxi, with his head pressed against the ground in submission!

"Sir, I can not only be your accountant, I can also be your retainer. I am the top scholar in the 18th year of Renxiao. I know astronomy and geography!"

"If I'm not mistaken, we'll change our route this time and head towards Tianjin, then take a boat from Tianjin to Xiguan, and then take the land route to Dongchuan!"

Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows. He really was right!

"I will pay you 10 taels of silver per month, and I will ensure that your mother and your sister arrive in Dongchuan alive!"

Liu Yanhui knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Thank you, sir!"

From now on, you will be the accountant. Qiu Shuang scooped a full spoonful of chicken from the soup pot and brought it back to Liu Yan.

Liu Yanhui shamelessly asked for two more spoonfuls of soup and filled the bowl before going back.

Haruyuki's mouth twitched as he watched this action.

"How can there be such a shameless Tanhua scholar?"

Nu Bai: "Master, he took the chicken and chicken soup back to share with his mother and sister!"

Shen Lanxi Hui Chunxue: "Thick-skinned and able to collect debts, being an accountant is just right!"

Haruyuki thought about it and said, "That seems to be the case!"

At night, Shen Lanxi discussed with Liu Lao Hu to find four people to take turns to keep watch, and promised to let them catch up on some sleep in the carriage the next day.

There were exiled prisoners who wanted to sign up, but their places were snatched away by the yamen runners. How cool it is at night. It's so hot during the day. How nice it is to lie down in the carriage and take a nap!

In the second half of the night, the howling of wolves was heard not far away.

The four men on night watch immediately became alert.

"Is there a wolf howling?"

"The sound is quite far away!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Lanxi jumped out of the car with a stick in her hand.

"Wake up everyone, the wolf is coming!"

The four yamen runners were startled by Shen Lanxi's sudden jump down. When they heard her shout, they all looked hesitant.

"Mr. Lan, the wolf is still quite far away. What if it doesn't come?"

Shen Lanxi's eyes penetrated the darkness: "They will be here in the blink of an eye!"

Chunxue and Qiushuang were awakened and hurried to call for help.

Thirty meters, twenty meters, fifteen meters...

That’s enough time for everyone to wake up and grab any weapons they can!

“Ahh…”

The wolf is coming!
