The shopkeepers knelt down one after another, reporting in tears.
"As soon as I opened the door to the bank's warehouse this morning, I discovered it had been robbed. Before I could report it, people from other banks came running over. All the banks had been robbed..."
"Sir, the same is true for pawnshops. All pawnshops have been robbed clean by thieves..."
"The casino was still open last night, but suddenly everyone was knocked unconscious. When we woke up in the morning, we found that all the money and IOUs in the casino had been stolen..."
“.......”
As Magistrate Wen listened to the cries of the shop owners, his head was buzzing.
He could only see the shopkeepers' mouths opening and closing, but could not hear any sound.
It’s over, it’s all over!
Emperor Tianwu wants to kill him completely!
"Puff~"
Magistrate Wen was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight down.
The shopkeepers who were still talking were sprayed with blood all over their heads.
"grown ups!!"
Master Zhang was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses until he heard Prefect Wen fall to the ground with a "thud".
He squatted down hurriedly, anxiously supported Wen Zhifu, and shouted anxiously,
"My lord, my lord, please wake up."
Mr. Zhang hurriedly reached out and pinched the nose of Wen Zhifu, but Wen Zhifu, whose face was covered in blood, did not react at all.
"What are you still standing there for? Go call a doctor..."
Master Zhang turned around and yelled at the dumbfounded shopkeepers...
.......
"Tie up your trouser legs and sleeves to keep bugs out."
Shen Yong took a handful of cloth strips and put them in Madam Shen’s hands.
Even though they have taken elixirs that make them immune to all poisons, mosquitoes, snakes and ants will not bite them.
But it would be pretty creepy if that thing accidentally got into their trouser legs or sleeves.
By then, these women will definitely cry out in anger.
Moreover, the deeper you go into the mountains, the more poisonous insects, snakes and ants you will find, so you still have to be on guard.
"Okay." Old Madam Shen nodded in response.
She raised her head and frowned at the endless mountains, then looked at Chen Yong in confusion.
"Seventh Brother, if we go through the mountains, won't it take some time?!"
This mountain range is so big that it would be fast to get out in two months.
What if Emperor Tianwu’s pursuers catch up with us?
"Don't worry, Mom. Sharpening the knife doesn't delay the chopping of wood."
Chen Yong smiled and said, "There is a reason why we have to go through the mountains."
"I killed so many imperial guards. Emperor Tianwu will definitely send more people to hunt us down."
"They might not think we would walk through the mountains. Let them search everywhere first..."
Walking in the mountains, there are naturally things in the mountains that attract him.
He only vaguely remembered that it was in this mountain range from the original owner's memory.
It doesn’t matter, as long as he is in this mountain range, he will definitely find it.
"That's true!" Mrs. Shen thought about it and felt that what Shen Yong said made sense.
"Okay, let's get going."
Mrs. Shen distributed the strips of cloth to her daughters-in-law.
"Tie up your hands, feet, and mouths so it will be easier to travel."
"Hurry up, it's not safe here. Let's go deep into the mountains and have a good rest."
The official road is just over the hill, and she feels uneasy staying here.
Cheng Suihua's six sisters-in-law nodded in response and helped each other tie the cloth strips.
After Shen Yong waited until all the female members of the Shen family were ready, he put the things in the cave back into the space.
"Let's go, everyone follow closely."
Zhang Wenyuan looked at the Shen family members coming out of the cave one after another, and curled the corners of his lips slightly.
He looked up at the still-bright sky and sighed deeply in his heart.
They set off at just the hour of Mao. Are they really not afraid of tiring themselves to death?
"Let's go!"
Zhang Wenyuan gently lifted Ji Yongjia and followed the Shen family.
My life is in Shen Yong's hands, what else can I do if I don't follow him?
It was a bit cold in the mountains last night. In the second half of the night, he and Ji Yongjia hugged each other for warmth without knowing when.
It was indeed quite awkward for the two of them when they woke up in the morning, but they felt a little closer in their hearts.
"......Okay!" Ji Yongjia took a deep breath, picked up the wooden stick on the ground and stood up.
Sun Ren covered his rumbling stomach and followed with his back teeth gritted.
It’s okay, you won’t starve to death in the mountains. At worst, you can just grab some grass to satisfy your hunger.
Soon, a long tail followed Shen Yong.
Shen Yong took the lead, and his steps were extremely fast.
He held a sharp knife in his hand and started chopping at the weeds on the road.
Wherever Chen Yong walked, he would cut a path through it.
The women of the Shen family followed Shen Yong and only had to walk, without having to use any force at all.
Shen Yong led a group of people to climb the mountain for three hours before stopping.
"Mom, you and your sisters-in-law rest here. I'll go get some wild game."
Shen Yong found a spacious place to accommodate the women of the Shen family.
There is a small stream not far from the resting place.
Shen Yong glanced at the direction of the stream, then turned back and instructed the women of the Shen family,
"Don't drink water from the stream."
As he spoke, Shen Yong took out two water bags filled with water from his bag and handed them to Old Lady Shen.
"Drink the water here if you're thirsty. We'll have roast chicken for lunch."
The roast chicken and rabbit he made last night were really delicious.
Today he made some oil and brushed it on to see if it would taste better.
“Okay, be careful.” Madam Shen looked at Shen Yong with a distressed look on her face and reached out to take the water bag.
Lao Qi had led them on a long journey, and when they arrived at the resting place, they went hunting without even a moment's rest.
She was really afraid that Lao Qi would collapse from exhaustion.
But when she saw Lao Qi's excited face, she couldn't say anything to spoil the fun.
"Don't worry!" Chen Yong smiled with his big teeth bared.
"Third sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, take these two swords for yourselves."
Chen Yong glanced at the little followers who came one after another, and worriedly took two sharp swords and gave them to his two sisters-in-law who knew martial arts.
Although these palace guards and officials looked exhausted and had difficulty breathing, they still had to be on guard.
"Don't worry, Seventh Brother, I'm here and no one will hurt anyone!"
Lu Man's eyes lit up, she took the sword and said proudly.
She has always been following behind her seventh brother like a burden, but now she finally has a place to use her skills.
Meng Yunfei looked at the sharp sword in her hand, her eyes narrowed with laughter.
"Don't worry, Seventh Brother, I will protect everyone."
Chen Yong smiled and nodded, then tiptoed straight into the mountains.
After watching Shen Yong fly into the deep mountains, Old Lady Shen looked around.
"Let's go collect some firewood, mushrooms, and wild vegetables..."
"Everyone should try to stay in one place and not get separated...
