Chapter 160: Who can afford to offend the local tyrant?
At this time, Lao Wei also heard the noise, limped out, and walked out with a gloomy face.
He glanced at everyone in the Xu family and said nothing.
It’s really troublesome.
I regret again not leaving this dangerous place as soon as possible.
When all the escorts came out with weapons, the enemy troops also arrived.
Looking at the neat team in front of him, Old Wei's pupils shrank slightly.
Private soldiers.
King Luo’s private soldiers!
Before they could speak, the leader, Li Yanping, stood up with a stern face:
"We are following the prince's orders to deliver medicine to the young master of the Xu family.
In addition, your safety will be fully protected by us during your stay at this inn."
He spoke without waiting for anyone's reaction, and asked the people holding the herbs to send them towards the Xu family.
The rest of the people immediately started moving around the post station.
There was a soldier every ten feet, and soon the entire post station was surrounded by King Luo's personal soldiers like a barrel.
Old Wei's face looked very unhappy.
How is this different from monitoring and controlling their actions?
Old Wei took a step forward with a sullen face.
"Sir, this is unreasonable?"
Li Yanping glanced at him and said, "If it doesn't work, go talk to the prince. We are just following orders."
Then his eyes fell on Xu Wuyan who was still lying on the carriage:
"Master Xu, your wife is still chatting with the Crown Prince's wife in the palace, and I'm afraid she won't be back tonight.
The prince asked me to tell you so that you don’t worry.”
After saying this, he loudly told all the soldiers to stand in line.
Have them guard it well and not let even a fly get in.
Then he turned and walked outside.
Old Wei was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
But there is nothing that can be done about it.
The other party is King Luo. King Luo is the local tyrant of Baoan City. Who can afford to offend him?
Seeing the people peeking in to see what was happening, Old Wei's face darkened:
"What are you looking at? Go back to sleep!"
After everyone ran back to sleep in fear, Lao Wei glanced in the direction of Xu Wuyan, then walked towards their house without saying a word.
Xiao Liuzi, who was following behind him, also looked worriedly in the direction of the Xu family, and then caught up with Lao Wei.
He lowered his voice, "Brother Wei, what does this King Luo want to do?
I think this situation is more like they are going to put us under house arrest."
"Don't worry about it. Just do your job well." Old Wei said with a gloomy face:
"These matters are beyond our control. Be careful not to get into trouble."
Having said this, he looked at Xiao Liuzi seriously:
"Don't get too close to the Xu family these days, you hear me?"
Seeing that Xiao Liuzi didn't take it seriously, Lao Wei reached out and knocked on his head:
"Are you still listening to me?
Do you remember everything I said?
Xiao Liuzi, if you want to return home alive with the silver, then listen to me."
Xiao Liuzi heard the seriousness in Lao Wei's words and nodded:
"I understand. Brother Wei, I will listen to you."
Seeing that he took it to heart, Lao Wei sighed:
"I won't harm you. Prince Luo has been keeping an eye on the Xu family. If you get too close to them, I'm afraid he'll take action against you."
These powerful people don't care about human lives at all.
In their eyes, killing a person is like crushing an ant.
If Xiao Liuzi was targeted by them, he would probably be crushed to death like an ant.
And on the Xu family's side.
Xu Wuyan stared at the entrance of the post station with gloomy eyes.
Xu Pingan walked to Xu Wuyan with a worried look on his face:
"Master, something's not right. Is there something wrong with the young mistress?"
Afraid that others would worry if they heard it, Xu Ping'an lowered his voice.
"It'll be fine." Xu Wuyan shook his head.
If she had any problems, or caused any trouble, King Luo's men should have rushed in and captured them directly, instead of just sending people to watch them.
Xu Ping'an nodded and said nothing more.
At this moment, a carriage stopped outside the gate.
Everyone looked up and saw the Han family members getting off the carriage.
Seeing that it was them, the Xu family members didn't even give them any extra glances and just looked away.
On the contrary, the other members of the Han family came out to greet them happily when they saw them coming back overnight.
When they saw the various foods being unloaded from the carriage, everyone in the Han family cheered, and soon the sound of eating could be heard.
After all, they had no money and hadn't had a full meal for a long time.
It was at this moment.
Mrs. Shen came and brought some snacks.
Seeing Xu Wuyan staring at her in the darkness, Madam Shen's heart choked. With trembling hands, she placed the snacks next to the shaft of the carriage and hurriedly said,
"Your aunt asked me to bring this to you. She asked you to take good care of your injuries."
After saying this, he left in a hurry.
Aunt?
Xu Wuyan's lips curled up in sarcasm. A woman who he had no connection with in his entire life actually shamelessly claimed to be his aunt?
The weasel pays a New Year's visit to the chicken with ulterior motives!
"Safe!" Xu Wuyan looked at Xu Ping'an:
"Throw it out."
Xu Ping'an nodded, picked it up, aimed it at the outside of the wall, and threw it out with force.
After doing all this, Xu Pingan looked at Xu Wuyan, frowning:
"Master, why are they back at this time?"
He didn't believe what King Luo's men had just said.
What's with the young lady chatting with their Crown Prince's Consort and forgetting the time? Their young lady is not that kind of person at all.
At this point, all the Han family members can come back.
It's a bit unusual that their young lady didn't come back.
"Keep an eye on them." Xu Wuyan closed his eyes.
"They might have other motives for coming back. Don't let them take advantage of the situation."
"Yeah!" Xu Ping'an nodded.
He glanced coldly into the room, then looked away.
If the Han family dares to take action, he will show no mercy.
…
"mother!"
Han Yulong walked to Madam Han's side, leaned towards her, and had a look of dissatisfaction on her face:
“Mom, why did you give them snacks?
Why don’t we keep it for ourselves?
Do you know?
When I came out of the toilet just now, I saw them throw away the snacks you sent over."
All she wanted to say now was what a waste of precious things.
We weren't even full, yet they threw the food away. How despicable.
"Let them do whatever they want!" Madam Han looked uninterested, her eyes wandering, and she was obviously uneasy.
Seeing that her mother didn't pay attention to these things, Han Yulong muttered a few words and complained.
Then, he whispered to Madam Han:
"Mother, what did my aunt say? Can she help us escape from this suffering? Even if she can't, how much silver did she give us?"
As long as there is money and food, it's enough.
She doesn't have to commit herself to that disgusting man.
Han Yulong felt nauseous and wanted to vomit when she thought of the man's rough hands wandering over her body.
She didn't want to live like this anymore.
If he touched her again, she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and would kill someone.
And the person she wanted to kill the most...
There was a darkness in Han Yulong's eyes. The person she wanted to kill the most was already dead.
It's not them. The people here don't look at themselves with a meaningful look every time.
Madam Han glanced at her and felt a headache:
"Don't even think about it, it's impossible!
She was just a concubine, had no say at all, had no children or powerful maternal family to help her, and her life was very difficult.
How could she possibly save us? As for silver, she gave some!"
Unfortunately, it was just a little bit, barely enough for them to get by for a while.
But if you want to get more money from her, you have to do what she says.
That was too difficult, so she had no intention of taking the money from her.
Sometimes, even if you have money, you still need to have the life to spend it.
So, she was very worried.
No money, what to do next?
She didn't want to cause any trouble now. She just wanted to take her two children to Mocheng safely. She didn't want to think about anything else, such as revenge.
Revenge is too difficult.
"Mom, you have something on your mind!" Han Yulong said with certainty.
Her mother's worries were almost written on her brow.
"Stop worrying about your own business. Just eat and go to sleep." Madam Han glared at her, then lay down and closed her eyes.
If she provoked them again, she was afraid that they would all lose their lives.
My daughter is also impulsive.
Let her know who is causing the trouble.
Han Yulong glared at her mother. She was sure that her mother was hiding something from her.
no!
She is going to Prince Luo's Mansion tomorrow.
She is my aunt, how can she ignore me?
If we can't rescue them, at the very least we have to give them a large sum of money to live on.
After making up her mind, Han Yulong quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
But at this moment, Madam Han opened her eyes, looked at the dark roof, sighed silently, and then closed her eyes again.
The Han family can no longer afford any more trouble.
Thinking of her father-in-law who had not returned yet and her youngest brother-in-law, Mrs. Han couldn't fall asleep.
I felt a little panicked and had a feeling that something was going to happen.
Finally, I couldn't help but sit up.
After sitting up, she saw someone vaguely staring at her from the direction of the door. She was startled and sat up quickly:
"who!"
Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Mrs. Han went to check tremblingly.
She wanted to see who was playing tricks to scare her.
But when she walked over, she found that the person was gone.
After looking around and seeing no one, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she must have seen it wrong.
People really can't do bad things.
Madam Han smiled bitterly, seeing enemies everywhere.
After taking a breath, he was about to turn around and go back, but unexpectedly, his foot kicked a small porcelain bottle.
The sound of the small porcelain bottle rolling was particularly loud in the quiet late night.
I didn't want to pay attention to it, but I saw the small porcelain bottle was still rolling.
Afraid of waking someone up, she quickly bent down to pick it up.
After picking it up, Mrs. Han's body stiffened under the moonlight!
There were a few words written in ink on the small porcelain bottle, which were particularly dazzling in the moonlight.
It’s your turn, Shen Liuli!
