“Where are the people?!”
Three days later, they arrived at the post station panting, but there was no one in the lobby.
The postmaster looked at the two people in night clothes and frowned.
“Who is it!?”
"It's already this late. We've been traveling all day, so naturally we should all go and rest."
Why are all the people coming to the post station weirder than each other today?
The escort team escorted a group of women to live in the cell for serious criminals, which had to be kept very clean and they ate the same food as the police officers.
This can only be explained by the fact that the families of these people being escorted gave bribes to the officials, which is understandable.
But it was the first time that he encountered officials eating in the room. A group of men ate in the same room and didn't feel crowded.
The master and servant who followed behind looked frightened and could not speak clearly.
After entering the post station, he hid in the room and never came out, but asked for a warehouse.
He was not given any money for accommodation and food, and was asked to move food onto a cart to pay for his room and meals.
That's fine. There have been signs of drought recently, and the price of food has risen a lot. If someone can use food to exchange for silver, he would be willing to do so.
Now two more men in black with unhappy faces came in, looking like they were looking for someone.
Tian San pulled the corners of his lips awkwardly and took a breath.
He took out a 10-liang silver ingot and gave it to the postmaster.
"Bring us some food."
"By the way," Tian San asked casually, "Are there any officials escorting exiled prisoners staying here today?"
"Yes, I checked in half an hour ago." The postmaster happily put the silver in his arms and started talking.
"Let me tell you, the criminals being exiled this time are none other than the famous Shen family of the Protectorate Mansion."
"Oh, who would have thought that a family of military commanders would end up like this."
"However, after all, this is the Protectorate Mansion, a wealthy family with complicated connections. It seems that they didn't suffer much during their exile."
"The cells for serious criminals staying at the post station have to be specially cleaned. I've been at the post station for so long..."
"The serious criminal cell!?" Tian San was getting a little impatient listening to the postmaster's nagging, and suddenly heard that the Shen family was actually locked up in the serious criminal cell.
When Tian Liu heard this, he looked at the postmaster in shock.
"You said that the Shen family was imprisoned in the serious criminal cell?"
"......" Yicheng was slightly stunned when he saw the two men in black suddenly look serious. Then he nodded, "Yes, yes!"
"I delivered it myself, how could it be fake?"
"The cells for serious criminals are almost as clean as the guest rooms."
"The escorting officers gave us a lot of silver and specifically asked us to clean it up. We accepted the silver and naturally agreed."
"The prisoners aren't locked up anywhere else anyway, so it doesn't count as breaking the rules if it's a cell..."
Seeing the increasingly shocked expressions of the two men in black, the postmaster couldn't help but explain a few more words.
He had seen a lot of abuse of prisoners, and it was rare to see prisoners treated so well, but it did happen.
However, the Shen family was the best treated among the prisoners, probably because they were given enough money to take care of everything.
The low-level officials earn money from bribery, so who would go against money?
Tian San and Tian Liu didn't even listen to what the postmaster said.
The two of them were so angry that their chests were heaving violently. They wished they could just pick up their swords and kill those officers with one blow.
Are a few women and a seriously injured Chen Yong really necessary to be locked up in the serious criminal cell?
It's sick, absolutely sick.
If the person is locked up in a cell as secluded as the one for serious criminals, how can those people in the Shen family who want to contact them behind the scenes be contacted?
The two of them were here to monitor and catch those people, but with this, not even one of them could be caught.
"Damn it! No wonder I couldn't find it before!"
Tian Liu covered his chest and couldn't help cursing.
This excitement caused the wound on his chest to bleed again.
Seeing blood flowing from Tianliu's hand that was covering his chest, Yicheng's eyes widened suddenly and his heart instantly rose to his throat.
No wonder he kept smelling a faint smell of blood. It turned out that the man in black was injured.
These two men were dressed in black, and you couldn't even see any blood. Were they being chased?
wrong---
them-----
They are not here to hunt down the Shen family, are they?
The postmaster listened to Tian Liu's scolding, pursed his lips, and stepped back a few steps.
"I-I'll go to the kitchen to get food for you two."
Tian San looked at the hurried footsteps of Yi Cheng, turned his head to look at Tian San, frowned slightly,
"Okay, save your energy."
"Take us to the guest rooms." Tian San raised his chin towards the waiter standing in the corner.
Lao Liu's injury needs to be treated. If it's delayed any longer, it will become serious and he will be left alone. How can this be allowed?
The further they go, the more dangerous it will be. They need to recover quickly.
It's good that the Shen family is locked up in the serious criminal cell. They don't have to bother with surveillance and can have a good night's rest...
.........
"Da da da da~~~"
Shen Yong, who was sleeping, suddenly heard the earth-shaking sound of horse hooves.
He suddenly opened his eyes, frowned slightly, and listened carefully.
Judging from the sound of horse hooves, there were about four or five hundred horses galloping, and they were coming from the direction of the capital towards the post station.
The horses ran very fast and it would take less than half an hour to reach the post station.
Shen Yong glanced at the time displayed on the takeaway mall. It was five o'clock in the morning.
It's almost July, so it should be dawn outside by now.
Yesterday, Xie Feiyang brought the injured Ding Zhenhao back to the capital. Judging from the time, this group of people were most likely sent by Fan Jinchang to kill him.
Shen Yong chuckled. Fan Jinchang was quite courageous. He dared to dispatch so many troops without permission from the emperor.
Looking at the still sleeping women of the Shen family, Shen Yong raised his hand and patted Old Madam Shen's arm.
"Mom, wake up."
".....What happened?" Mrs. Shen struggled to sit up and asked hurriedly before she even opened her eyes.
These past few days, she was always the first one to get up. When she was woken up for the first time, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Mom, someone is chasing us. They will arrive at the post station in about a quarter of an hour."
Shen Yong did not hide anything from Madam Shen and told her the situation directly.
Maybe there will be a big battle today, and then they will start their escape today, so they have to say what needs to be said.
Although their martial arts skills are not very good, they still have to be vigilant.
"These people should be the ones called by the two people who escaped yesterday."
Mrs. Shen's dazed eyes suddenly became clear, and she looked at Shen Yong with a serious expression.
"Seventh Brother, tell us what we should do. We will follow your instructions."
With a powerful enemy at hand, they just had to avoid causing more trouble and listen to Old Seven in everything.
