Seeing Du Changchun directly refused, there was a hint of joking in his tone.

Comfortable and not annoying.

"Brother officer, you haven't eaten the food I cooked, how do you know I can't do it?"

"Besides, you think I can't cook, but what about my mother?"

Shu Xin said as she pulled Tao over to the side.

Seeing this, Tao hurried forward with a smile.

"My dear officers, I don't know much else, but I am used to cooking at home."

"I hope you guys can give me a chance!"

Tao's round face, with curved eyebrows and eyes when she smiles, is very pleasing to look at.

Although her husband was an imperial physician before, their family was also considered to be officials.

But Tao still does all the household chores himself, just like he did in his hometown.

I have never felt that I am inferior because I need to ask for help from others.

Therefore, when she spoke these words, it was natural and kind.

Seeing Tao like this, Shu Xin was deeply touched.

Tao and Yu Ansheng are both very good people. They are kind, hardworking, open-minded and optimistic.

More importantly, they are very dedicated to and caring for their families.

I don’t know why Tao Jiaojiao has developed such a personality.

Maybe the root cause is not good!

Shuxin thought so.

At this time, Tao Jiaojiao, who was far away in Shengjing, had just got up.

No, her name is not Tao Jiaojiao anymore, her name is Shu Jiaorong, and she is the eldest daughter of the Yongyi Marquis’ Mansion.

Although people have been in a panic these days because of the theft in the Marquis's mansion's warehouse.

But this did not prevent Mrs. Lu from holding a family reunion banquet for Shu Jiaorong and formally introducing her to the circle of powerful people in Shangjing.

But when she thought about it, because of the theft in the warehouse, not only would her family recognition banquet have to be greatly reduced, but even the gifts prepared for her this time were all found at the last minute.

Although her mother and father were very generous to her and gave her absolutely good things, they were still not as good as the old items stored in the storeroom of the Marquis' Mansion.

Shu Jiaorong always felt that this was all caused by Shu Xin.

I hope she will never have the chance to return to Beijing, otherwise, I will never let her go!

Shu Xin didn't know all this, she was still trying her best to fight for it with Du Changchun.

After Tao finished speaking, Du Changchun and the others hesitated.

"Brother Du, how about this? We can provide the ingredients ourselves, and my mother and I can cook some food for you brothers to try."

Shu Xin said to a few people with a smile, then took out a small bag of wheat flour.

Wheat flour is wheat flour.

Because they were going into exile, the officers did not prepare much food.

In order to facilitate storage, the food we brought was basically coarse noodles and a small amount of rice.

The so-called coarse flour pancakes are made of wheat flour mixed with bran.

This kind of coarse flour pancake can fill you up and keep you from getting hungry, but it is very hard.

In comparison, this small bag of flour seems extremely rare.

When they saw the wheat flour, the big men behind Du Changchun were amazed.

"Boss, let them try it. We won't lose anything if it doesn't taste good."

"That's right, I haven't eaten food made of white flour for a long time."

"Besides, that coarse flour pancake is so disgusting!"

Several big men hurriedly persuaded Du Changchun.

They had only been on their journey for one day and they were already feeling a bit overwhelmed.

In fact, they had already made plans. If it really didn't work out, they could go to the post station this morning to find a companion.

They could definitely improve the food. After all, the exiled prisoners could continue to eat coarse flour cakes, as long as they didn't starve to death.

But now there is another option, isn't it better?

Anyway, the food at the post station is just average, edible but far from delicious.

Du Changchun remained calm when he saw that his men were all persuaded.

He looked at Shuxin suspiciously.

In fact, he recognized it with comfort.

Just because he and that guy Zhang Huai are from the same hometown.

When Zhang Huai introduced this girl to him yesterday, he also specifically asked him to look after her for his sake.

He didn't expect the girl to be so generous.

Of the bribe money she brought, Du Changchun received one hundred taels, and the other ten or so runners each received twenty taels.

When I calculated it this way, it cost more than three hundred taels just to take care of them.

Therefore, even for the sake of money, he would not refuse.

But he was still cautious.

I always feel comfortable and there are other purposes.

"You all have wheat flour with you. Why don't you keep it for yourselves and use it to make food for us? Isn't that inappropriate?"

Du Changchun questioned.

Shuxin was amazed.

Du Changchun looks like a rough man, but he is very careful.

But she did do this for a purpose.

If she wanted to provide food for the entire Tao family, she would not be afraid as she had the space.

It's not necessary to come to the police to get work and food.

She wanted to take the opportunity to build a good relationship with the officers so that Du Changchun would agree to temporarily take off Xiao Beiwang's handcuffs and shackles every day to give his wounds time to heal.

As for the shackles on Xiao Beiwang's neck, it was estimated that Du Changchun and the others would never remove them for him.

Shu Xin had observed long ago that among the officers who came to escort the prisoners this time, some did not look like ordinary soldiers at all.

I don’t know where these officers come from.

It is very likely that he was sent by higher-ups to keep an eye on Xiao Beiwang.

In this way, even if Du Changchun wanted to remove the shackles from Xiao Beiwang, it would be impossible.

Shu Xin was thinking about how to answer, but saw Tao coming forward with a smile.

"Sir, you don't know..."

"We have a large family, with elderly and children to take care of. Even if we bring food with us, it won't be enough."

Tao rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and the embarrassed look on his face didn't seem fake.

Du Changchun understood after a little thought.

He was just about to nod in agreement when he saw a tall, thin woman walking towards him with a young girl.

"Sir, don't listen to them, you may be fooled by them. My sister-in-law has never cooked before and she doesn't know how to cook. Maybe she wants to take the opportunity to drug you so that she can escape!"

Liu walked over and spoke loudly.

As he spoke, he glanced at Tao with disdain in his eyes.

Tao was so angry that her teeth were itching and she wanted to rush up and slap Liu in the face.

She took the trouble to get food, so wouldn't Liu's family of four eat it?

Now he's trying to mess things up and cause trouble. He's totally out of his mind!

Shu Xin pulled Tao's sleeve, signaling her to be patient.

Tao nodded slightly to show that he understood.

She knew in her heart that if she had a quarrel with Liu at this time.

These officers might even drive out the four of them.

By then there will be no chance at all.

Du Changchun was also a little annoyed.

They've been so restless this morning, are we going to let them eat?

"Where do you think we are? Can we come here whenever we want, one by one or two?"

Du Changchun angrily scolded Liu and Yu Fang.

He did not forget to glare at a young officer behind them.

The officer looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with a dark complexion and a bit fat.

The point is, he looks somewhat similar to Du Changchun.

Seeing Du Changchun glaring at him, his face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Yu Fang on the side hurried forward.

He bowed politely to Du Changchun.

"Sir, don't blame Brother Wu. He was kind-hearted. It's us...we really have no other choice."

Yu Fang lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.

She was thin and her voice choked up as she spoke.

Looking pitiful and helpless.

Wu Zhiyong felt so distressed when he saw this and wanted to speak up for her, but Du Changchun glared at him fiercely.

Wu Zhiyong was a little afraid of his uncle and didn't dare to say a word.

Shu Xin saw this scene and raised her eyebrows.

Unexpectedly, Yu Fang is a smart person.

In such a short time, I got to know Wu Zhiyong.

She is smart and scheming, and doesn't look as weak and gullible as she appears.

Seeing Yu Fang's quick reaction, Liu felt slightly proud and quickly chimed in.

"Yes, please have mercy on us, sir. My husband is weak. If he continues to starve, I'm afraid he won't be able to reach Nanzhou."

She was about to cry as she spoke.
