Chapter 81 The most shameless part is here!

"Sir, please have mercy, I really can't walk any further!"

"Damn it, I think you want to be whipped!" The sound of a whip whistling through the air rang out again.

The soldiers in the teahouse were already used to this scene, drinking tea and chatting while waiting!

"Oh, it's a gift from Qing County!"

"Why are there so many people being dragged along behind?"

"Qingxian is also located in the north~"

Shen Lanxi and the others ignored the various gazes directed their way and calmly drank their tea.

Someone nearby muttered quietly, "No wonder she gave a man as a wedding gift, she's really shameless."

As the people from Qing County approached, the man who had been muttering earlier opened his mouth wide in astonishment.

There were three large horse-drawn carriages in the Qingxian procession. The first carriage was carrying gold and silver jewelry, and a handsome young man in brocade robes was also sitting on it.

Following behind was a cartload of emaciated men and women, and the last cart was loaded with grain. Following behind the carts were a group of men, women, and children.

The burly man leading the group, holding a whip, stepped forward, clutching the documents: "We are from Qing County delivering birthday gifts to the Third Princess. Gentlemen, are you the same?"

The people from Dengzhou, unsure of Qingxian's intentions, stood up and asked, "We are too. What are you sending?"

The burly man grinned: "These are all local specialties from our Qing County!"

Do you people in Qingxian County treat each other like local specialties?

I thought a car full of men was weird enough, but what's even more shocking is what's really going on.

"Our Qingxian County suffered a severe disaster this year, and we don't have anything good to offer the Third Princess. The first cart contains some gold and silver jewelry, as well as our local famous and handsome scholar!"

"The second carriage carries young boys and girls. Our superiors obtained a wonderful method from a wandering master, which allows young boys and girls to serve the Third Princess closely, ensuring her youthful appearance remains forever!"

"The third cart contains the last bit of grain from Qing County; it's all been given to the princess!"

"Behind us are the servants that Qingxian County has prepared for the Third Princess. Everyone in Tianjin knows that the people of Qingxian County are the most hardworking and resilient. I guarantee that the Third Princess will praise them!"

The other soldiers who were giving gifts all twitched at the corners of their mouths after hearing this.

The most shameless one is here.

They don't want such a bizarre county to follow suit!

Strongman Liu Laohu: "Let's go together, so we can look out for each other along the way!"

I don't want to, but it's hard to say no.

Liu Laohu said confidently, "The Three Dukes are mainly a reward for me, but you can all benefit from it!"

He offended all the other gift-giving groups with just one sentence.

No one refused, and no one agreed.

Liu Laohu and his men stubbornly clung to the back of Shen Lanxi's convoy.

The group, in a grand procession, finally arrived safely in Tianjin!

"Young master, it's so lively here!"

"If we had to go on our own, it would have taken many more days. By following these people, we've already accelerated our journey."

Looking at the two characters "Jinmen" on the city wall not far away, Shen Lanxi's expression softened considerably. She sighed in her heart, "Thanks to the Third Princess!"

There are people at the city gate who are in charge of receiving the birthday gifts. Judging by the speed of the inspection, it will take at least one or two hours for it to be their turn!

"Go and buy some tea and food!" There are many vendors doing business under the city wall, all of whom make their fortune from the Third Princess's birthday.

Chunxue bought a big bag of food and distributed it.

Other teams were also buying, so nobody paid attention to them.

The soldiers escorting the Shen family quickly broke away from the queue and were escorted inside by a separate group of soldiers.

Everyone could tell something was wrong; they even lowered their voices.

Soon the Shen family members disappeared through the city gate.

An hour and a half later, it was their turn.

"What about your birthday gifts?"

Chunxue stepped forward and handed over three silver bags, one large and two small, all filled with silver notes.

"We're from Yuezhou. We were worried about being robbed by refugees while carrying our belongings, so we exchanged everything for silver notes. Some are for the Third Princess, and some are for inviting you, sir, for tea!"

There were two officials conducting the inspection; whether he gave it to the other person or not was none of their business.

Chunxue continued, "There are also scholars. Some of them can compose poems, some can paint beauties, some are skilled in music, and some know how to serve others. They are all of exceptional appearance!"

The inspector tilted his head and glanced at Feng Wu, just in time to see his face clearly. He was immediately amazed by his appearance and, with a quick glance, returned another silver pouch to Chunxue.

"You guys are so thoughtful. From now on, people from Yuezhou will have more face around the princess, so please help out a bit, brother~"

Chunxue exchanged a few words with him and easily let him pass.

Looking at the handsome faces in the car, the inspector couldn't help but slap his own face. If he had a face like that, he would have been up there long ago.

Behind them was Liu Laohu's convoy.

Liu Yanhui, dressed in fine clothes and with a refined and handsome face, once again caught the eye of the inspector.

I casually opened the box and inspected it, then immediately let it pass!

What's that car behind us?

Liu Laohu immediately flattered him, saying, "Boys and girls." Then he pointed to the people following behind.

“Those are servants offered to the Third Princess!”

The inspector, seeing the faces of the people who looked like refugees, changed his expression drastically and took a few steps back.

I heard there's a plague going on in the north, and these people are all half-dead. I hope they're not carrying the disease.

If the Third Princess saw these people, would he still be able to keep his official hat?

"Get lost! A bunch of filthy bastards who came from who-knows-where dare to enter the city and offend the princess's eyes?"

"Keep an eye on them! Don't let any of them enter the city. Anyone who dares to enter the city should be beaten to death with sticks on the spot!"

"yes!"

Liu Laohu immediately gave a signal to the people in the car, and they, along with those following behind, quickly ran towards a place further away from the city gate.

Many people ran a few steps, then collapsed to the ground, looking exhausted.

After discussing it, the two inspectors immediately expelled everyone from Qing County from the city, leaving only the valuables they had brought with them.

"They're all so skinny, they must be sick!"

"We absolutely cannot let a single person in!"

"Have someone keep an eye on them!"

Even Liu Yanhui was expelled.

No matter how good-looking someone is, it's useless if they have a disease. Even if they had a hundred heads, it wouldn't be enough to chop them off!

The inspection team continued, and Liu Yan returned to Liu Laohu and his men to eat at a teahouse further away.

Soon, two cavalry units rushed out from inside Tianjin.

"A few of you go to the east, a few of you go to the west, and the rest of you split into two teams and go to the remaining two sides."

"If you don't find the rest of the Shen family, you'll all come back with your heads!"

"yes!"

Liu Laohu, Liu Yanhui, and the others all buried their heads in their food, especially the Shen family members who heard them talking; they all wished they could bury their heads in their wonton bowls.

They never imagined that the Shen family members who demanded their heads would be delivered to them were right under their noses, swaggering around eating wontons!

The Third Princess's Residence

"Mother, I want to slash Shen Lanxi's face, cut her into pieces, and make her suffer to death!" The Third Princess's daughter, Wang Xiangyi, gritted her teeth as she mentioned the name Shen Lanxi, looking fierce and as if she wanted to devour her flesh and sleep on her skin.
