Chapter 42: A Fence-Sitter



Just as Shen Yong was about to open his mouth to speak, he faintly heard the sound of horse hooves.

He glanced back.

It was a long line of delivery trucks.

Sun Ren followed Shen Yong's gaze and looked back.

"Tsk, how did we run into a caravan..."

With so many carts full of goods, he must be a big businessman.

Merchants are all generous, and with so many people, almost all the rooms in the inn are occupied.

Fortunately, the caravan was still some distance away from them.

Sun Ren shouted towards the front,

"Hurry up and get to the post station as soon as possible, there is a caravan behind us!"

Then, Sun Ren withdrew his gaze and looked at Chen Yong.

"Lord Shen..."

Shen Yong frowned slightly.

"Clean up the cell."

"Okay, when we get to the post station, have them clean it immediately and make sure it's clean and odor-free."

"Is it a solitary cell for serious criminals at the post station?"

"...Yes." Sun Ren looked at Chen Yong in confusion.

"Lock us up in the cell for serious criminals, close the door, and don't let anyone disturb us."

Shen Yong thought about it carefully.

My sisters-in-law are very delicate and have never walked such a long way.

Although we stopped and walked along the way, it took us a whole day.

Their faces were all pale with tiredness, and they definitely needed a good rest at night.

There must be a lot of messy people locked up in ordinary cells, and there will be people coming in and out, affecting their rest.

"...Okay." Sun Ren didn't understand, but it didn't stop him from doing as he was told. "Then what would Lord Shen like to eat tonight?"

"Serve the prisoners whatever they eat, so as not to arouse suspicion!"

There are many people at the post station and Chen Yong doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

Anyway, they won’t eat the food even if it is served to them, so just put it in the corner.

"...Ah!?" Sun Ren looked at Chen Yong with an embarrassed expression, and then glanced at the weak widows of loyal martyrs.

Even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to feed them the rotten water and moldy buns.

“But…but…”

"Just do it." Shen Yong interrupted Sun Ren directly.

"The post station is almost here. Don't reveal yourself. Go ahead."

Sun Ren nodded doubtfully, and walked towards the post station with a confused mind...

........

"Two guest rooms, please."

After Sun Ren stepped into the post station, he walked to the counter and took out one or two taels of silver and put it on the counter.

When the official in charge of the post station saw that it was a messenger escorting a prisoner, he immediately waved to the waiter.

"Go and arrange two good guest rooms for the officer."

"Okay, sir, please follow me." The waiter threw the towel in his hand over his shoulder, smiled and made a gesture for him to go upstairs.

Sun Ren knocked on the table and handed the document in his hand to the official.

The official took the document with a smile, stretched his head to look at the prisoners escorted in by the officers, quickly stamped the document, and then handed it to Sun Ren respectfully.

"Sir, it's done."

"Yeah." Sun Ren glanced at it and responded.

"As you can see, we're escorting a serious criminal. Have someone clean out the solitary cell where they're going to be held. We're going to use it."

The official was slightly stunned, glanced at the prisoners surrounded by female relatives, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

What else can this group of women come up with?

There was only one man on the document, and he looked seriously injured. There was no need to lock him up in the serious criminal cell.

"What are you standing there for? Go get someone to clean it up. I can't stand the weird smell."

Sun Ren frowned and urged.

The official raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing what Sun Ren said, and glanced at the group of female prisoners again, and immediately understood what the official meant.

"...Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll definitely clean it up and won't delay your good night."

As he said this, the official smiled obscenely and said to his men who were cleaning the hall,

"You guys, go clean the cells for serious criminals. Make sure they're as clean as the guest rooms."

"Take me to the guest room to rest..."

The official looked at the waiter and gave him a look.

This is a good job for the police officer. With so many beauties by his side, it's amazing...

The cells for serious criminals are no different from guest rooms.

A single cell can easily accommodate 20 people. It has walls on all sides and only a large iron door.

It takes three people pushing the iron door together to open it.

There are three locks on the prison door alone, and each lock is as big as a fist, so it is not possible for an ordinary person to open it.

It is to prevent someone from breaking into the prison and letting the serious prisoners escape.

It is obvious what the police wanted to do by locking up a group of female prisoners.

Sun Ren did not follow the waiter to the guest room. He followed the person who cleaned the cells for serious criminals to the cell.

After he checked that the cell was clean, he immediately ordered the officers to lock the Shen family up in the cell.

“Huh~”

After seeing all the Shen family members sitting down to rest in the cell, Sun Ren breathed a sigh of relief.

He led the officers out of the cell, locked the door, and put the key in his pocket...

.......

"Boss, the Shen family is now locked up in the serious criminal cell and can't get out. Why don't we go report it to the police directly?"

Liu Yi closed the door of the guest room and turned to Sun Ren and made a suggestion.

If they report the Shen family at this time, they might even be promoted.

The Shen family has the intention of rebellion, and Shen Yong has been pretending to be seriously injured. This is a big deal.

After hearing Liu Yi's words, the officers all turned to look at Sun Ren.

"Pah~"

Sun Ren frowned and slapped Liu Yi in the face.

"If you want to die, don't drag everyone down."

"Do you want to die of a ruptured stomach in seven days?"

He really didn't expect that there would be someone who dared to have such an idea.

But it’s not surprising that this person is Liu Yi.

This guy has always been a fence-sitter, and he leans to whichever side the wind blows.

Liu Yi's face was twisted to one side by the blow, and the smile on his face froze at the corner of his mouth.

"I'm thinking about my brothers. The imperial physician will definitely be able to cure this poison."

He still knows the difference between promotion and wealth and being controlled by others.

They still have seven days to detoxify, and the imperial physician's skills may not be better than Shen Yong's.

"Heh!" Sun Ren sneered at the look of someone being persuaded.

"What if the imperial physician can't cure this poison?"

"Chen Yong dared to live in the cell by himself and let us stay in the guest room. Don't you think about why?"

"Why?" Zhang Tiezhu asked curiously.
