Chapter 47: My Grandfather's Family is in Shengzhou City

On the official road.

The bandits, with bruised faces and noses, were tied together and walked towards Shengzhou City with their heads drooping.

The people along the way inquired and spread the news, and the news of the bandit den being busted spread like wildfire...

The people who suffered greatly from this cursed the bandits and picked up stones and clods of earth on the ground and threw them at them.

This group of bandits who had been causing trouble for many years were finally wiped out.

It’s so satisfying!

When he learned that it was the group led by His Royal Highness Prince An, who was exiled from the capital, who wiped out the bandit's den, he couldn't help but sigh.

Alas, all the other princes have their own fiefdoms, but this little prince, favored by the late emperor...

The people knelt down to thank Jiang Ruo and his team for their heroic act of suppressing the bandits.

It is not good for them to have too high a reputation. It is enough for the people to remember the bandit suppression.

Jiang Ruo sat in the carriage with his legs crossed, holding a half-eaten apple in his hand. After each bite, he would lift the curtain to watch the fun.

Xiao Chengjin quietly opened his eyes a little and looked at the back of Jiang Ruo's head.

Why is his Ruoruo so cute?

Jiang Ruo, who was watching the fun, suddenly felt a chill on his back...

Ugh, why do I feel like I'm being spied on?

Jiang Ruo lowered the car curtain and ate the remaining half of the apple with a crunch.

She pinched Xiao Chengjin's chin and looked left and right.

Just now...it shouldn't be an illusion.

Could it be that the dog man has woken up?

Jiang Ruo stared straight at Xiao Chengjin, trying to find a clue from his face...

After a long time, Jiang Ruo rubbed his sore eyes and muttered, "Am I overthinking it?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengjin moved his hands slightly in his sleeves, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Ruoruo's intuition is too sharp, he should be more careful in the future!

Jiang Ruo patted Xiao Chengjin's cheek and said, "You bastard, it's time for you to wake up!"

"If you don't wake up, how can I pursue a carefree life surrounded by handsome men..."

Xiao Chengjin felt very aggrieved as he listened to Jiang Ruo's mumbling.

I can also give you a carefree life.

For example: partying every night.

Jiang Ruo suddenly thought of what Aunt Liu said this morning.

The original owner's maternal grandfather and his family lived in Shengzhou City.

This story begins after Nangong Li married Jiang Qinian...

The original owner's maternal grandfather and his family used to do business in Beijing. One time, they accidentally learned that Jiang Qinian looked down on people like them who were doing business.

In order to make his daughter suffer less in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

My grandparents took two years to move the shopping mall to Shengzhou...

Later, the original owner's mother died suddenly of illness, and her maternal grandfather and his family took people directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital and made a big fuss.

Jiang Ruo learned this from the original owner's vague memory.

The original owner's uncle knew that she had no mother's protection and that her life in the Prime Minister's Mansion was not easy, so he proposed to take the original owner back to Shengzhou.

The original owner had been influenced by the Pei family since childhood and knew that merchants had the lowest status, and he looked down on his uncle's family to some extent.

She felt that as long as she stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she would be a noble lady from an official family.

Therefore, when her uncle proposed to take her away, the original owner refused.

Haha~ You are so snobbish at such a young age.

If the original owner had agreed to come to Shengzhou with her uncle, her life trajectory might have been changed...

Alas, everything is fate and we have no control over it.

Jiang Ruo sighed slightly and closed his eyes to rest.

Xiao Chengjin: “......?”

What happened to Ruoruo?

He seems to be in a very low mood.

——————

At noon, Jiang Ruo and his group entered the territory of Shengzhou City.

The bandits were tired and hungry, and looked extremely miserable with their dusty faces.

They used to bully the people, but who could have imagined that they would fall to such a state...

They were angry but dared not speak out, and they all cursed Jiang Ruo in their hearts.

When the people of Shengzhou City saw the bandits entering the city, they threw the rotten vegetable leaves they had prepared at them with all their might.

"Let you rob again."

"Let you stop bullying us ordinary people."

"Beat you beasts to death..."

A white-haired woman knelt on the ground and cried, "God has eyes, these bandits finally got their comeuppance..."

......

In the front carriage, Jiang Ruo had already come out of her depressed mood, "Sister is the queen, arrogant and crazy..."

Xiao Chengjin: “…?”

So Ruoruo wants to be the queen?

All right! From now on, she will be Dayan, no, she will be her own queen.

Shengzhou government office.

Early this morning, Shengzhou prefect Chu Wenqian's eyelids were twitching, and he felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart.

He was very upset and did not go to court to handle the case after getting up early.

When he learned that the bandits had been wiped out, he was extremely anxious.

He thought that as long as the bandits didn't reveal their collusion, there would still be room for recovery.

According to the informant, the group of ignorant bastards were wiped out because they robbed the exiled Xiao Chengjin and his group.

Damn, don’t you know your own weight?

Besides, can’t those escorting officers see it?

If you want to destroy it, you must first drive it crazy. There is simply no hope for it.

Xiao Chengjin, once the most respected prince in the Dayan Dynasty, is now just a commoner who was demoted and exiled.

A few days ago, he received a secret letter from the prince, saying that even though Xiao Chengjin was demoted, he still had unknown forces in his hands.

Now it seems that it is not groundless.

In a moment, Chu Wenqian's thoughts surged...

When you meet this group of people, you really can't be careless.

At this moment, a yamen runner came running over...

"Sir, that Nangong Yi is beating the drum to report the crime again!"

When Chu Wenqian heard this, a hint of gloom flashed across his brows.

This Nangong Yi never learns his lesson. The ten spankings I gave him last time were too light.

Haha~ He must have heard that the bandits were wiped out and couldn’t help it anymore!

It doesn’t matter. It won’t be too late to deal with this despicable businessman after he has dealt with the bandit suppression.

As the saying goes: Losing money is better than disaster.

Nangong Yi had a lot of property robbed by bandits, and he insisted that the government was protecting the bandits.

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

"Send him away and tell him that I am not feeling well today and cannot handle the case." After saying this, Chu Wenqian went straight back to his bedroom.

"Yes, sir."

Just like that, Nangong Yi, who was beating the drum in front of the government office, was driven aside by the yamen runners.

Nangong Yi looked at the arrogant and unreasonable yamen runner angrily, and with the help of the servant A Yu, he went to a shady place and sat down.

"Hiss..." Nangong Yi pulled the wound when he sat down because the place where he was hit had not healed yet.

"Ayu, is it true that the bandits were wiped out?"

Ah Yu fanned Nangong Yi with his sleeves and said happily, "Master, don't worry! It's a done deal."

Nangong Yi was so angry when he thought about the property that was robbed some time ago.

Humph! I'll just sit here and wait to see how you guys can continue to protect the bandits.

Some time ago, he thought that his niece in the capital was of marriageable age, and as her uncle, he should prepare a generous dowry.

Who would have thought that they would be robbed by bandits on the official road.

He was so angry that he died.

He came to the government office to report the case, but the prefect actually said that the bandits were brutal and rampant and the government could do nothing about it.

Ugh! Corrupt officials.

In his opinion, it was clearly collusion between officials and bandits.

I don’t know which hero took action?

It's so satisfying.
