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

After walking for another half a day, we finally saw Cangzhou City.

"Sir, shall we go and join the Master and the others?"

Shen Lanxi shook her head: "Now is not the time. Let's go in and replenish supplies after they enter the city."

The two maids nodded. After entering the city, they no longer had to worry about the refugees.

At first they were really worried that the people guarding the city would not let the prisoners in, but they didn't expect that their worries were unnecessary.

"Sir, the people guarding the city not only let the prisoners in, but also didn't ask for an entry fee."

Shen Lanxi looked at the dozen or so large pots cooking porridge at the city gate and raised her eyebrows. Cangzhou City was a little different from what she had expected!

Could it be that she misunderstood Qu Yanling?

"Let's see after we go in!"

I always feel that there must be something wrong when things are abnormal!

"Master, there is nothing wrong with the porridge in the porridge shed!"

She also went to see it. It was not the kind of porridge that was so clean that you could see your reflection in it, but a very thick porridge. If the weather was good, there would be no problem, but now it was a severe drought! Where did the locals get the money? Even if they had money, where did they buy the food?

Could it be that the local grain reserves were touched?

We entered the city smoothly. The pedestrians and vendors on the street were no different from those in other cities.

"Go buy a meat bun!"

The standard for measuring local living standards is the price of the most common food in the area!

The buns were bought back soon.

"how much is it?"

Chunxue said with a distressed look on her face: "Forty cents, in the past, this would have been enough to buy a basket of buns!"

Prices haven't changed, they've even gone up a bit, which is normal.

"Let's find an inn to stay in first!"

"Yes!"

The inn was close to the city gate, and when the waiter saw them come in, he immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Are you guys going to eat or stay in the hotel?"

Haruyuki: "Stay in the hotel, eat, and feed our horses!"

The waiter quickly explained in a flattering manner: "There is a severe drought right now, and we are also affected. Originally, the water for feeding the horses was free, but now..."

Understood.

Haruyuki: "We'll pay you whatever the price is!"

The waiter immediately changed from being embarrassed to smiling.

"A horse needs a bucket of water, and a bucket of water costs one tael of silver. The water sold in our store is the cheapest in the city!"

“How much did you say?” Haruyuki’s voice immediately rose.

The waiter quickly bent down to explain: "This price was not set by us, but by the government. We also follow the government's instructions. There is nothing we can do!"

Shen Lanxi was just wondering how the local people made money, but she didn't expect to get the answer so soon!

The wool comes from the sheep!

Pulling in different ways!

The waiter: "It really can't be cheaper than our store!"

Shen Lanxi: “Buy!”

Qiu Shuang went out to get information, and when she came back, Liu Yan followed her!

"Sir, we are staying at the post station. When I left, Liu Lao Hu and the others were arranging accommodations!"

Shen Lanxi: "You've worked hard!"

Liu Yanhui hurriedly smiled and said, "It's not hard, not hard at all. My family is even lucky enough to ride in a carriage."

Shen Lanxi: "Tell Liu Lao Hu to set off early tomorrow morning!"

Liu Yanhui took out the remaining money from buying herbs from his sleeve: "Master, there is still a lot of money left for buying herbs!"

Shen Lanxi said without blinking: "Aren't you the accountant? The money is with you!"

Liu Yanhui's eyes lit up, and she put the money back into her pocket without any reservation.

"Sir, I will record every penny you spend in the future!"

After seeing Liu Yan off, she went for a walk on the street.

At night, when everyone had gone to bed, Shen Lanxi, dressed in black, flew to the Censor's Mansion and stopped twenty meters away!

"Master, there are a total of thirty people guarding in the dark around here, and two teams of twenty people are patrolling in the open, and their positions are respectively..."

The position of these people was such that they almost surrounded the Censor's residence.

The patrols were too intense, and it was impossible to get in without alerting the people inside.

"Nubai, check if there are other ways to enter!"

"Nu Bai got it. Yes, in the house below us, there is a tunnel leading to the Censor's residence!"

Shen Lanxi jumped down immediately. No one would have thought that there was something else hidden inside this dilapidated house!

A small provincial governor plays a big game!

"Check the tunnel to see if anyone is there?"

"No one, master, please pass without worries!"

I thought there would be a straight road going through, but I didn't expect it to be connected in all directions, with four passages leading to different directions!

Following Nu Bai's instructions, they sneaked into the Censor's residence and located Qu Yanling.

"It's all that ugly man's fault. If I see him again, I will pull out his tendons, peel off his skin, and throw him into the snake den to feed the poisonous snakes!"

"Miss, the people from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect will be here in a few days. We can buy the antidote from them!"

"Humph, are we supposed to be like dogs, trying to please them and beg them for the antidote? My father likes this kind of life, but I don't!"

"Miss, how about we wait until this month is over and then take the money to buy the antidote from Medicine King Valley?"

"Get the money? Where can I get the money? My father stared at the money and wouldn't let me touch it. He is really old and confused. If I can buy the antidote, we won't be controlled by the poisons anymore..."

"Hush, miss, keep your voice down, or someone might hear you!"

Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows: "Ten Thousand Poison Sect? Is there such a sect in the martial arts world?"

From what Qu Yanling said, they were all controlled by the Wan Du Sect with poison?

Why does the Wan Du Men want to control them?

Although these puzzles cannot be solved for the time being, there is one thing she is sure of.

The money in the Qu family comes from illegal sources!

She just happens to rob the rich and give to the poor!

"Nubai, scan!"

"Nubai received!"

There were two treasure rooms, three warehouses, and three storage rooms in the underground passage. She also found two account books in one of the secret rooms.

The account book recorded in detail the gold, silver, various gifts, beauties, servants, etc. sent by officials of all ranks in the five surrounding cities every year.

Can a small Anchashi have such great power? Or is this power from the Wandu Sect?

Put it away first and look at it later when you get back.

After collecting the things, I explored several other passages and found that the remaining three passages ended with abandoned houses.

There is no one guarding it, no suspicious places.

It was getting late, so she returned to the inn, called Xiaoxue, and stuffed the note with the words "Wan Du Men" written on it into the bamboo tube.

The stars were still hanging in the sky, and vendors preparing breakfast were already busy.

Accompanied by the sound of the night watchman's gong, Shen Lanxi slowly closed her eyes.

"Master, this is bad! Liu Lao Hu and the others are all gone!"

Shen Lanxi immediately opened her eyes, opened the door quickly, and let the two people in!

"They didn't leave the city?"

Qiu Shuang: "No, I got up early and watched them. From the time the city gates were opened till now, I haven't seen them!"

Chunxue: "I went to the post station to inquire, and the people there said that they left early in the morning!"

Shen Lanxi looked towards the door with a dim gaze and spoke to the two of them silently.

You are being followed!
