"Yes, Seventh Brother, you must be careful from now on. We can hold on, don't worry too much!"
Cheng Suihua frowned and continued to persuade.
Ever since she drank the anti-heat medicine given by her seventh brother last night, she felt much better than before.
Last night was the first time she slept so soundly since her husband passed away.
Seventh brother is now the only hope of their whole family, so nothing must happen to him.
"That's right, one meal a day is totally fine."
Lu Man also said, "I was punished by not eating for two days while practicing martial arts before, but nothing happened."
Several others also echoed a few words, saying that they were not afraid of being hungry.
They all knew how tempting Shen Yong's ability was, and it would be too dangerous if outsiders knew about it.
Chen Yong smiled awkwardly and quickly put the buns and the cloth bag into the space.
"What my mother and sisters-in-law said makes sense. I was careless. I will be more careful in the future."
At least he can't let himself go until he can ensure the complete safety of these financial backers.
This time he was indeed a little too excited and not thoughtful enough.
Madam Shen nodded.
"It's always a good idea to be more cautious. Don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others."
"Let's go, it's probably getting late."
Old Madam Shen stood up, looked carefully at the cell, and pointed at the kerosene lamp on the ground.
"Put it away."
The cell for serious criminals has no windows and the door is very tight. If there is no light, it is completely dark.
However, this kerosene lamp was also taken out by Lao Qi, so he had to put it back when he left.
"good!"
Chen Yong glanced around the cell and saw that nothing had fallen, so he extinguished the kerosene lamp and put it into the space.
The cell was suddenly plunged into darkness.
Chen Yong's eyesight was not affected. He walked to the door of the cell, took out the key, opened his lock, put it into the space, and then shouted to the outside of the door,
"Open the door!"
Sun Ren leaned against the door and listened for a long time, and finally heard the faint sound of a door opening.
He excitedly took the key and opened the cell door.
"Sir Shen, there are some merchants traveling with us today, so they might..."
Sun Ren bent down and told Shen Yong in advance.
They couldn't keep calling "Lord Shen" on the road. What would happen if someone heard them?
Calling a prisoner "Sir" is a blatant challenge to the emperor's authority.
The moment the big iron door of the cell opened, Chen Yong heard a noisy sound in the backyard. It seemed that the caravans were also preparing to set off.
There were still quite a few people walking around upstairs in the post station. It seemed that quite a few people had stayed at the post station yesterday.
"Just call them by their names. On the way, just act like you're escorting a normal prisoner."
It's just a name, he doesn't really care.
Sun Ren nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, thank you, Master Shen, for your understanding."
Seeing that the Shen family members had already grasped the shackles in their hands, Sun Ren quickly pointed in the direction of the cell exit.
"Let's go this way."
As he spoke, Sun Ren took the lead and walked towards the exit.
Lu Man and Meng Yunfei consciously stepped forward to support Chen Yong.
Chen Yong put his hands on the shoulders of his two sisters-in-law. When there was no one around, he would take a few steps. When there were people around, he would let his sisters-in-law drag him along.
The third and fifth sisters-in-law already knew some leg skills. They drank the bone-strengthening pill last night, and now their physical fitness has surpassed all the officials present.
The third sister-in-law's body had changed the most. When he put his hands on her shoulders, he could feel that her muscles had become much tighter, so there was no problem in carrying him on her back.
The other six officers saw that the Shen family was still following Sun Ren out, and they all walked on both sides of the Shen family very consciously, escorting the Shen family out.
Zhang Tiezhu walked beside Shen Yong, not daring to breathe.
He glared at Liu Yi in front of him several times.
He was clearly sitting in the middle yesterday, but when he was distracted just now, Liu Yi squeezed in front of him.
Zhang Tiezhu cursed in his heart, but he was too timid to turn his head and look at Chen Yong.
He felt a burning pain on his face just by looking at Chen Yong...
......
When Sun Ren led everyone out of the side door of the prison, they happened to meet Ran Xiangyu's carriage team rushing out from the backyard.
The two sides met directly at the intersection.
The coachman hurriedly grabbed the reins, not daring to compete with the officer for the road.
“What’s going on!?”
Nanny Zhang frowned and lifted the carriage curtain with a bad tone.
Fortunately, the carriage was not running fast, but when it stopped suddenly, she and the eldest lady still felt a lot of inertia.
Ran Xiangyu's forehead hit the side of the carriage. Nanny Zhang looked at Ran Xiangyu's red forehead and immediately became angry.
"There are police officers escorting prisoner uniforms ahead, and we dare not compete with them for the road."
The carriage boy turned to look at Aunt Zhang with a helpless look on his face.
Who knew that they would encounter the police as soon as their carriage drove out?
If he had gone a little faster, he would have driven the carriage onto the road.
Nanny Zhang frowned and looked towards the official road, and sure enough, she saw the officers escorting a group of prisoners onto the road.
"Why is it so unlucky?"
Aunt Zhang frowned and said to herself.
If we walk behind the officers, we will be much slower.
I could have arrived at the next station early today, but now I'm afraid I'll have to stay up very late.
"What prisoners!?"
Ran Xiangyu rubbed her forehead and stuck her head out from beside Aunt Zhang.
"......." Seeing the familiar faces of the Shen family, Ran Xiangyu sneered and pulled the corners of her mouth.
She was so busy escaping and seeking refuge with her uncle that she forgot about the exile of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
This is not a coincidence, it's just on the way.
"Oh, who am I thinking?"
Ran Xiangyu got out of the carriage and stood between the two servants driving the carriage. She pinched her throat and shouted sharply to the Shen family,
"Isn't this the Shen family of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion?"
"Oh, I almost forgot. Yesterday was the Shen family's big day of exile..."
"How come we've been traveling all day and have only walked so far? My legs are not good..."
Ran Xiangyu was furious when she thought about how she was scolded at the Duke of Huguo's mansion.
Now she finally got her revenge. Seeing the group of women from the Shen family wearing prison uniforms, she felt very happy.
You can argue with her now, so why not try arguing with her again?
When Aunt Zhang heard what Ran Xiangyu said, her eyes widened in shock.
She quickly reached out and covered Ran Xiangyu's mouth, "Miss, don't say that..."
It’s going to cost me my life. Miss, is this a way to kill yourself?
Even if these aristocratic families become prisoners, they are not people that merchants like them can bully at will.
The nine clans of the Shen family have complex connections in the capital, so it is not easy to deal with them.
How did the eldest lady break off the engagement with the Shen family? If she had known earlier, she would have gone to see it no matter what.
Why does this look like an enmity?
Nanny Zhang nervously shook her head at Ran Xiangyu.
