Over there, Cavalry Commander Wan Dayong in Danyun City was so anxious that his mouth was foaming.
"Haven't found anyone yet!?"
Wan Dayong pursed his cracked lips and glared at Prefect Wen.
For so many days, he went to the properties under the name of Magistrate Wen every day, but only got a total of 20,000 taels of silver.
What's the use of this little money?
Prefect Wen looked at Wan Dayong bitterly with a drooping face.
"No one was found. The Shen family disappeared out of thin air after leaving Menglan City."
Greedy guy.
Under the pretext of looking for the Shen family, he stayed in Danyun City and refused to leave.
I've been hanging out at money houses and pawnshops every day, causing their business to get worse over the past few days.
The money in pawnshops and banks is getting less and less every day. There are no people depositing money, but there are quite a few people withdrawing money.
People who wanted to withdraw money couldn't get it, and once the news spread, no one came to deposit money anymore.
The brothel was even more deserted. There were no pretty girls for a while and all the customers had run away.
The times are bad now and there is a drought, so it is normal that the brothel's business is not good.
But the pawnshop business should be good.
Wan Dayong, this useless guy, had guards guarding various pawnshops and trying to lower the prices so that no one was willing to pawn things in the pawnshops.
What’s going on? The guy in Beijing must be going crazy because he’s short of money.
This is because they don't want him to turn over.
"It was all fine, how could it just disappear out of thin air?"
Wan Dayong glared at Prefect Wen and said, "Your men must not have searched carefully enough. Why don't you send someone to continue searching?"
Prefect Wen drooped his eyelids and rolled his eyes speechlessly.
“However, someone discovered that Shen Yong’s fiancée was in Danyun City.”
"That girl has been trapped in Danyun City. Every now and then she runs to the city gate and yells to get out."
"I suspect she's going out to join Shen Yong."
Wan Dayong's eyes lit up and he stood up suddenly.
"Let her out of the city, and I'll lead people to follow her from a distance. I don't believe we can't catch the Shen family."
It seems that Chen Yong's fiancée Ran Xiangyu deliberately made such a scene of breaking off the engagement in the capital just to act separately.
As long as he follows Ran Xiangyu, he will definitely find Shen Yong.
......
"It's been so many days, why haven't you let us leave the city yet?"
Ran Xiangyu slammed the table in anger, frowning tightly.
I was so unlucky. After leaving the capital, I passed through two cities, and each city was under lockdown, and each lockdown lasted for seven or eight days.
How else could she catch up with Shen Yong?
Also, these two cities were extremely shady. She had so many things, but she only sold them for 4,500 taels of silver.
How is this different from robbery?
"Miss." Nanny Zhang made the bed and turned to look at Ran Xiangyu who was furious at the table.
"Look, the city gates are closed all the time, so it's not a good idea to stay at Ke's house all the time. Why don't we go to my uncle's house, relax, and stay for a few days?"
With so many people staying in the inn every day, the expenses for food, drink, defecation and accommodation are really high.
If this continues, it won't be long before the little money the young lady has is gone.
Didn’t you agree to come and live with your uncle? Why didn’t you go to your uncle’s house after arriving in Danyun City?
Nanny Zhang frowned, she really couldn't understand what the eldest lady was going to do.
It was she who wanted to cancel the engagement, and now it is she who is chasing after Shen Yong. She really thinks the Shen family is made of clay.
She had never seen a clay man dare to attack the palace guards so casually.
"......" Ran Xiangyu thought for a moment and shook her head, "No."
"Send someone to find out when the city gate will open."
You definitely can’t go to your uncle’s house.
The situation in her uncle's family is also very complicated. He was so nice to her before because she married into the Shen family.
Her uncle did love her, but he only loved her when it was profitable.
Now that her greatest support is gone, her uncle's family is probably avoiding her as much as possible, fearing that they will be implicated.
Especially my aunt, who always says one thing in public and another in private, always says that my uncle spends too much money on her.
If she went to her uncle's house at this time, she probably wouldn't be able to keep the money in her hand.
And those servants who follow her will most likely be sold by their aunt.
My aunt is reluctant to spend the money to feed so many people.
Especially now that there is a drought and food is becoming more and more expensive, it is even more impossible for my aunt to feed these people.
Aunt Zhang looked at Ran Xiangyu deeply and sighed helplessly.
"yes...."
After asking over and over again, the result was the same: the city gate would definitely not be opened.
It is said that something important was lost in the Danyun City prefectural government office, and they are still investigating.
I don’t know where these thieves came from, they even dared to steal from the prefectural government office.
After Nanny Zhang sent the servants to find out when the city gate would be opened, she went to check on the servants living in the warehouse.
"Eat sparingly. Food is expensive now."
Seeing that one more cart of food was missing, Nanny Zhang was very worried.
There were more than ten carts of food, but after traveling all the way, only eight carts of food were left.
The eldest lady still has to continue chasing the Shen family, so I’m afraid these foods are not enough.
After leaving Danyun City, there are two opposite directions: left and right, south and north.
Either go to Lingnan or go to the northwest.
The drought situation in Lingnan should not be serious, as there is a lot of rain in the south, and Lingnan is also where the Shen family was exiled.
But now that Shen Yong has killed the imperial guards and escaped, it is very likely that he is not going to Lingnan.
Nanny Zhang sighed deeply and looked at the carts of food with worry.
The servants responded with a few "hmm" and "ahh" sounds, all with a hint of dissatisfaction on their faces, and couldn't help muttering in their hearts,
