After learning that the big ship had sent them back to the coastal dock on land, Xiao Wenrou didn't dare to make trouble again.
As Jiang Xuan's body was nourished by the Supreme Immortal Fragrance and gradually got better, An Xin also found an opportunity to attack Xiao Wenrou several times.
Even if he sneaked into her room in the middle of the night, knocked her unconscious and threw her into the sea, someone who was up at night would see him and save her life.
An Xin also felt that there was a mysterious force protecting this fellow traveler.
So An Xin tried a few more times and was almost discovered, so she decided not to do this thankless task.
Because An Xin guessed that if Xiao Wenrou, the time-traveling girl, did not do something that would anger God and people and erode her aura of the heroine, she would not be killed easily.
Upon hearing that An Xin and the others had returned, Zhu Shijing hurried over to greet them.
Seeing An Xin standing in front of him in good health, Zhu Shijing was very excited, "Didn't you say that you were not sent back after a month?
Let the old fisherman lead me to the sea area where the Nanyu people appeared to look for your bodies?"
When the others heard what Zhu Shijing said, they all looked at An Xin in surprise, wondering how she knew that something bad would happen on this trip to Nanyu.
An Xin glanced at everyone's curious eyes and said arrogantly, "What's so surprising about this? People from Nanyu have never had contact with inland countries.
Suddenly they said they were willing to give out some rare holy medicines just to watch a Cuju match. Who would believe that they didn't have ulterior motives? Who would be the real fool? "
“!!!”Everyone, it turns out we are all big fools.
Accompanied by Zhu Shijing, An Xin and his companions rested for a few days in this small county town with simple folk customs by the sea, and then began to prepare to return to the capital.
Also returning to Beijing with them was Zhu Shijing, who had just handed over his work to the new county magistrate.
The day before leaving, Zhu Shijing took An Xin for a walk on the streets of Huangyan County, looking at the bustling crowds and prosperous shops.
Zhu Shijing said to his headmaster with a proud look on his face, "It was not like this when I came here.
Because the seafood here cannot be transported out, the fishermen here are living a miserable life, and the county town is also very depressed.”
"You're great." An Xin praised generously.
Seeing the small coastal county town being governed so prosperously, An Xin felt that his students deserved the praise.
Zhu Shijing smiled. An Xin's affirmation of his abilities seemed to make him happier than if he had been favored by the emperor and recalled to Beijing.
The early summer sun was shining brightly. An Xin and his companions had been on the boat for a long time and really didn't want to take the boat back to Beijing from Leling County.
They chose to go back by carriage.
Although it was a bit slow, the emperor did not require a long time to return to the capital when they set out, so An Xin could lead the team back to the capital slowly.
As for those who hold opposing opinions, An Xin said that no one is holding you back, and those who want to go back early can go first.
Whatever happened on the road, there are so many people who testified that it was the road they chose themselves and it has nothing to do with us.
Traveling in ancient times was not as safe as it is today. Although Xiao Wenrou didn't want to follow An Xin and the others, she knew that if her team of more than a dozen people were to travel alone and encounter bandits, they would be the ones delivering food to people.
Not wanting to see An Xin and his group having fun as if they were traveling around, Xiao Wenrou could only hold back and try not to get off the carriage, hoping to avoid seeing them.
Si Han watched with gloomy eyes as An Xin was intentionally taking care of the injured man along the way. Not only was the carriage he was riding in the best and most spacious of all, but it also had the most comfortable paving.
Even the turtle-like pace he was moving along the way was probably because the woman was aware of his injuries and that was why she walked so slowly.
He clearly sensed the danger at that time, and he rushed over, but he was just one step slower than that man.
At that time, Si Han didn't know why he rushed over. Maybe it was because An Xin had saved him on the Nanyu altar.
That day, An Xin and his friends passed by a county town called Fengshan.
Originally, they were just passing by here and were planning to buy some items they would need on the road before leaving.
But when An Xin and his friends were about to enter a pastry shop, an old lady with tears in her eyes and an anxious face fell down in front of them.
If the old woman hadn't been in a hurry to get up and keep walking forward after falling, An Xin would have thought that the old woman was committing fraud.
The old woman staggered a few times but couldn't get up. An Rui reached out and helped her up. He also asked casually: "Old man, why are you in such a hurry? It's better to slow down."
Originally, An Rui just thought that the old woman was too old and should not run, intending to remind her that it would be easy to get hurt.
Maybe the old woman fell hard just now and was unsteady on her feet and was too anxious, or maybe she was upset about something and had no one to talk to, so she cried out "Ah".
"Oh my God! Why did you do this to my daughter? What did she do wrong?
My daughter has to endure this false accusation from a businessman who has been traveling for a long time and has a mistress outside.
She was branded as a man-stealer and reported to the government by that heartless beast, where she was subjected to the punishment of being stripped, beaten with a stick, and ridden on a wooden horse.
An Xin was shocked when he heard this. His expression became gloomy. He turned around and asked others, "In our Daqian Dynasty, there are still such laws for women."
If there really is, An Xin feels that such a dynasty is not worthy of her traveling here.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"No, this was the corrupt previous dynasty that established criminal laws against unfaithful women." Jiang Xuan saw that An Xin looked unhappy and began to explain.
An Xin saw the old woman's face full of tears and said, "Old lady, please take us to the government office."
The sobbing old woman paused and looked at An Xin and his group. Although they were not dressed like rich people, they were experienced and she nodded expectantly.
A group of people led by An Xin followed the old woman and walked along the street, which aroused people's curiosity.
Those who were not in a hurry also followed them to the yamen to watch the fun.
As soon as An Xin and his companions arrived at the gate of the yamen, they saw several yamen runners stripping a woman who was struggling to take off her outer clothes.
When the old woman saw this scene, she stumbled forward because her legs were not as flexible as before.
"Let my daughter go. You yamen runners also have parents and sisters. How could you have the heart to do that? Aren't you afraid of retribution?!"
After hearing what the old woman said, the bailiff who still had a conscience automatically let go of the struggling woman.
However, there was an officer who was evil to the core, but he was shameless and had lustful eyes. He laughed and pushed the old woman away with all his strength, causing her to fall to the ground again.
"Mom!" The woman, who was struggling to break free, cried out in tears.
An Xin frowned when he saw this scene.
The other noble young men from the capital who came out to participate in the competition were also shocked by what they saw and heard.
A few wretched yamen runners were still continuing their evil deeds overtly or covertly, touching the women's bodies under the pretext of stripping them.
Feng Yuxiu, Shan Yongzhen, Li Xin and others could not bear to watch it any longer, so they walked over and started beating up the runners who were taking advantage of the women, causing them to flee in panic.
There was the county magistrate sitting in the hall of the yamen watching the show, and there was the man kneeling in the hall who went out to do business and left his wife to take care of his elderly parents and sister.
After earning some money and keeping a beautiful mistress, he turned around and looked down on his wife for being a shrew.
A heartless and ungrateful man who designed to slander and sue his own wife for being unfaithful, promiscuous and having affairs with other men.
The county magistrate and the man looked outside in surprise. They never dreamed that someone would dare to interfere in the affairs of the government.
