Chapter 2374 The First Wife is Completely Finished

It's good that everyone is alright; Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng both felt that the situation wasn't so bad.

Soon, Qi Lie took Yuan Ye, Liu Jie, and Shu Feng away.

Speaking of Shu Feng, Qi Lie also mentioned the members of the eldest branch of the Shu family. Shu Feng himself escaped, but the rest of the Shu family were all arrested.

Moreover, the person who captured them was the wife that Shu Quan and Shu Feng later married. Shu Quan had been observing the fight between the two sides and saw Shu Feng and the others escape in a sorry state. Without saying a word, he ran to capture them.

Unexpectedly, Madam Wu had already trapped the First Madam and Miss Shu inside the door.

Besides them, the main branch of the Shu family also included Shu Feng's two younger brothers and a concubine named Li.

One of the brothers worked for Shu Feng and was present during the fight between the two sides. He was captured by Qi Lie's men.

There was also a younger brother, who was quite honest and young; he was Aunt Li's child. Two years ago, Aunt Li couldn't bear the hardship and remarried. Neither Shu Feng nor the First Madam objected; in fact, they were happy to see it happen.

After all, Aunt Li was frail and had developed some health problems during her exile, falling ill frequently. Her son was also young and not only unable to do heavy work, but had become a burden to them.

So a widower in the village, who was more than ten years older than Aunt Li, gave her one or three taels of silver, and Aunt Li took her young son, changed her surname, and went to live with him.

The mother and son were unaware of and had no involvement in anything the eldest branch of the Shu family had done.

Although they didn't help like Shu Quan, at least they weren't like the First Madam and the others, who couldn't even save their lives this time.

Shu Yu could only say that Shu Feng really courted death; now look what happened, everyone has lost money.

Qi Lie left, taking not only Yuan Ye and the others with him, but also Meng Yunzheng, who had a great working relationship with him.

With Lord Cheng and Shu Yu here at the Cheng residence, there's no need to worry.

However, riots broke out in Thai province that very night, with clashes and fires occurring in several locations throughout the city.

Fortunately, Lord Cheng has recovered in the past few days, purged a group of people, and quickly stabilized the situation in the city with Ma Lu and others.

Meng Yunzheng was gone for half a month, during which he sent two messages, only saying that everything was fine.

Lord Cheng has been keeping a close eye on their affairs. Although several of his bodyguards have run into trouble, the Cheng family's sons are growing up rapidly.

Shu Yu knew that chaos had broken out in several places besides He Tai Prefecture. The forces in the southwest were already very complex and scattered, and the Second Prince and his group must have bribed many people. If these people made any moves, problems would easily arise.

Shu Yu and the others then left Hetai Prefecture and went to other prefectures and counties to help.

The only place that remained relatively peaceful was Heichang County, a county that Shu Yu was very familiar with. Under the magistrate's management, there had only been one instance of chaos.

Qi Lie brought quite a few people, and after the operation began, those who were originally hiding in various places came out.

Several clashes broke out between the two sides, resulting in casualties on both sides.

Overall, Qi Lie and his men captured Yuan Ye and Liu Jie, located the black market, and seized all the food and weapons stored there, giving them the upper hand.

While on her way to Linzhang Prefecture, Shu Yu returned to Zhengdao Village with Ma Lu.

Ma Lu knew that a fight had taken place in Zhengdao Village. Although Qi Lie came back and said that everything was fine, he was still a little worried.

When we returned to Zhengdao Village, we found the huge village to be very quiet.
