Chapter 20: Humiliation at the Post Station
Before arriving at the post station, Lin Xiaofeng had already received an order and went to look for various precious herbs according to the requirements.
What puzzled him was that Shen Jinan seemed to have endless treasures in his hands.
I gave him so much some time ago, and this time it’s even better than before.
However, Shen Jinan is a generous person, and he always gets benefits from him when doing things, which is much higher than his salary.
I can get all these just by helping her purchase some herbs. It will be convenient for her and myself, so why not do it?
After preparing everything, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't wait to go to the cell to look for Shen Jinan, but unexpectedly heard the prisoners' discussions.
"They were taken away by the jailers as soon as they arrived. Could they have been taken away?"
Another person retorted with disdain, "What are you daydreaming about? Can't you see the situation clearly? It's obvious that the jailer who took them away is not someone to be trifled with. It seems like he has a grudge against them. I'm afraid they'll be in great danger if they go there."
"But the imperial court has already spared our lives. How dare they torture us privately?"
The man's words sounded somewhat credible, but his voice of dissatisfaction suddenly rang out again: "The emperor is far away, and even if the corpse stinks, no one will find it."
"Alas, I don't know what's going on with that family. They've been in trouble all along the way, and now..."
"But I heard that he used to be a high-ranking official. He might have offended a lot of people."
All the words discussed by several people gathered together were heard by Lin Xiaofeng without exception. Big official, this family has been in trouble all the way. He had a bad feeling in his heart. Could it be Shen Jinan's family?
He hurriedly searched the cell, but did not see any trace of Shen Jinan, nor did he see the two children and Gu Yanqing. He was already disappointed.
Were they really taken away?
"Commander Lin! Commander Lin!"
He vaguely heard someone calling him, the voice a little hurried.
Lin Xiaofeng looked towards the direction where the sound came from and found that it was an old man who looked gentle and polite.
"Who are you?"
Lin Xiaofeng felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was.
"I'm a friend of Shen Jinan. His family was just taken away. Those people seem to have had a grudge against the former Prime Minister Gu. Commander Lin, go and take a look!"
Lu Nianqing was anxious in his heart, and just now before Shen Jinan left, he gave him a look.
He guessed that he was asked to call for help, but the only person he could think of was Lin Xiaofeng. Fortunately, he came.
"I understand." Lin Xiaofeng hurried out, anxious.
Wouldn't touching Chen Jin'an be equivalent to touching his own small treasury?
That won’t do!
In the lobby, Liu Feng's emotions were only agitated for a moment before he quickly put on a smile again. "This must be Madam Gu, right? I feel so sorry for her. Why would she follow someone like Gu Yanqing, who doesn't understand romance?"
He took a few steps forward and looked at Shen Jinan carefully: "How about Madam, you follow me from now on, and I will take you out of the exile team?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Shen Jinan's face.
Shen Jinan's hand hanging by his side moved, and randomly raised up, knocking his hand off course and bringing up a gust of wind.
"Hmm..." Liu Feng closed his eyes and sniffed, his face intoxicated. "What kind of rouge does Madam Gu use? Why is it so fragrant? I'll prepare some more for Madam Gu later."
Gu Yanqing frowned and was about to step forward, but Shen Jinan pulled his sleeve.
Not knowing what she meant, he stopped moving.
"No need for rouge. I can give you something tonight." Shen Jinan looked him up and down. She was still very familiar with the name Liu Feng.
Just ask around in the capital and you will know about the glorious deeds of Young Master Liu Feng in the past.
After the people who were spreading the story finished speaking, they cursed Liu Feng while also praising Prime Minister Gu.
This shows how heartless this person is.
Now that the other party has more people and more power, it is not easy for the two of them to turn against each other directly, but Shen Jinan is not one to suffer losses.
She was not idle along the way. Among those medicinal herbs, there were not only those that could cure diseases, but also some that had special effects.
That was the fragrance just now. The jailer had also fallen into the trap and dared to bully Gu Yanqing openly under her nose.
She, Shen Jinan, was the first to disagree.
They will have to endure as much suffering as Gu Yanqing has endured.
"What kind of gift is it? Madam, why don't you come back to my room and tell me slowly." Liu Feng's eyes were extremely frivolous.
In his eyes, Gu Yanqing's wife was no better than a prostitute in a brothel.
He pulled Shen Jinan behind him.
Gu Yanqing used his body to block Liu Feng's disgusting gaze, half threatening and half frightening him: "Liu Feng, this is not someone you can touch! You'd better watch your eyes carefully."
"I'm so scared! Prime Minister Gu, you are so capable." Liu Feng held his chest with both hands, looking frightened.
Xi Er and the others couldn't help but laugh: "Gu Shoufu, Lord Liu is the postmaster here. If he wants to kill you, isn't it just a matter of snapping his fingers?"
He, Gu Yanqing, used to be arrogant, but things are different now. They are the butchers.
"Heh." Gu Yanqing chuckled lightly, with a nonchalant smile on his face: "If you have the courage, you can try it."
"Today I must have Madam Gu. Come, pull those two brats apart and bring Madam Gu to the backyard."
Liu Feng looked at the two children, delicate and adorable, and maliciousness gushed out of his eyes: "As for these two children, break their legs and let them beg on the street."
"Bah, dream on!" Shen Jinan spat accurately on Liu Feng's face.
Liu Feng's emotions immediately got out of control again. He wiped the stains with a handkerchief while yelling, "Damn bitch, how dare you!"
Gu Yanqing's face turned pale and blue as he watched them prepare to sink Jin An and the child. He stepped forward without hesitation and held them in his arms.
A barrage of fists fell.
Gu Yanqing's face turned even paler, but he remained silent.
Shen Jinan suddenly panicked. She didn't treat Gu Yanqing to let him get beaten.
I wanted to break free from his arms, but I didn't know where he got the strength from, and I couldn't break free.
She was so anxious that her eyes turned red: "Gu Yanqing, let go."
Gu Yanqing didn't answer her, but just looked at her with a smile, his eyes never moving away.
"Gu Yanqing, I didn't expect that you would have this day, did you?" Liu Feng laughed loudly, almost going crazy.
Seeing his face getting paler and paler, Shen Jinan was so anxious that she almost cried.
She gritted her teeth, reached into her sleeve, and prepared to use her trump card.
"Where's the postmaster? Hurry up and ask him to come out and greet us!"
A voice came from outside the door. When Liu Feng heard it, the smile on his face disappeared. He cursed inwardly and walked out the door.
