Chapter 353: Social Master Zhu Shijing
When An Xin saw Zhu Shijing coming, he also stuffed two hundred taels of silver into his hand.
After taking it, Zhu Shijing did not rush to find the chief officer, but waited until Jiang Zhou came with two officers. According to An Xin's decision, he first helped Doctor Su, Censor Shan, and Gongsun Hong, the three old men who were prioritized by age, to unlock the shackles.
Although Gongsun Hong was only in his early forties and strictly speaking not old, but since the three of them were walking together, it was okay to call him old man, so An Xin thought it was okay to call him that.
Originally, the shackles were to be removed for Master Chen, but Master Chen felt sorry for his wife and finally let Zhu remove the shackles first.
When Zhu Shijing saw his aunt untie the heavy shackles on her neck, he breathed a sigh of relief and his face looked a little relieved.
How could he not know that his aunt's family bribed those people because of him in an attempt to get him out of the Ministry of Justice's prison, and eventually they were caught and ended up being exiled with him.
An Xin saw that there were twelve people on their side, and they used two hundred taels of silver to remove the shackles of four people. If you calculate it this way, it would cost six hundred taels of silver to remove the shackles of all of them.
But just when An Xin was about to give another two hundred taels to Zhu Shijing, he glanced at Jiang Zhou, who winked at him provocatively, and curled his lips in a contemptuous smile.
Before Jiang Zhou started to speak venomously, he walked over there and saw someone paying to untie their shackles, and went to bargain with the chief constable Jiang Huai, and some people were also untied from their shackles.
An Xin looked at Jiang Zhou's smug expression when he came back from work, and she had a feeling that this guy might get slapped in the face.
The reason was simple, it was just because An Xin saw a few exiled prisoners over there, and after paying the silver to remove their shackles, he had a look of distress and reluctance on his face, but also a look of relief.
That means they untied the shackles of the four people after seeing how much money Jiang Zhou spent.
Only when they spend less money than Jiang Zhou will they show a thankful expression.
Sure enough, when Jiang Zhou saw the officers who came with Zhu Shijing taking off the shackles of the remaining eight people, his face turned away arrogantly with a black face.
He used two hundred and two taels of silver to untie the shackles of four people, but the stingy guy used the same amount of silver to untie eight people, which made Jiang Zhou depressed to death.
But he was not stupid. He knew that he should not take this matter too seriously with the escorting officers. Otherwise, it would not be a big deal for him, but he was afraid that it would bring trouble to others around him.
An Xin and Leng Xiangbai looked at each other with amusement. Of course they knew this guy, and it wasn't because he didn't want to see them all untied from their shackles.
Instead, he realized that there was indeed a gap between himself and Zhu Shijing in social skills, and he was competing with himself.
An Xin walked over with a smile, worried that the boy would get himself into trouble, so he patted his shoulder and said in a half-hearted way, "Everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses, so let's not compete with him on this.
You've never lost when it comes to talking rudely to others."
"Really?" Jiang Zhou thought about it and it seemed to be true. He squinted at Zhu Shijing who was calm and collected, and suddenly realized something was wrong. "You are the one who is mean-spirited. Your whole family is mean-spirited."
Zhu Shijing glanced at him with disdain, and An Xin said in a very low voice: "For the sake of peace of mind, let's not bother with him."
Leng Xiangbai smiled at Zhu Shijing. Only An Rui, who didn't understand anything, was shaking his sore neck and wrists happily because he was finally freed from the restraints.
In the afternoon, the exiles, more or less, paid money to unlock their shackles.
An Xin also saw the delicate mother and daughter. At the signal of her mother, the girl, who would inadvertently reveal her habitual charm, walked slowly to Liu Huai, a strong man in his thirties.
I don’t know what Liu Huai, the head of the officials, said, but the girl’s face turned red with shame and anger, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked pitiful and wanted to turn around and leave.
At this time, a middle-aged man among the seven or eight officials who were exiled from the Ministry of Justice prison with An Xin and others walked over and paid the silver to unlock the shackles for the girl with pity in his eyes.
However, after the girl untied the shackles, she looked at the middle-aged man with charming and tearful eyes.
Finally, the official could not resist the beauty's pleading, so he took out the silver that his family had given him when they saw him off, and paid for the money to unlock the shackles for his mother.
Liu Huai accepted the silver and ordered his men to remove the shackles from the mother and daughter. However, when he looked at the middle-aged exiled official, there was a hint of sarcasm and ridicule in his eyes, as if he was waiting to see a good show.
An Xin was also looking at the seven or eight officials, who still had aloof and arrogant expressions on their faces at this time, and he couldn't help but shook his head.
Hearing that stupidity is contagious, An Xin moved a step and decided to stay away from them.
Even if he was on the road to exile, he had to save the lives of those officials who were opposing Prime Minister Xiao.
However, An Xin still felt that these officials who stood on the clouds and looked down on others should be allowed to come down to earth to temper their arrogant nature.
Only by experiencing the sufferings of the world can they understand the difficulties faced by ordinary people and serve as better officials in the future.
After removing the shackles, Leng Xiangbai and the other three, who had good looks and tall stature, were still very eye-catching as they walked in the exile team.

Not only the little girls who were exiled with their families, but everyone else also looked at them a few more times.
An Xin just glanced at the woman's gaze and ignored it. After all, the boys who grew up in her family were so outstanding that they could attract the attention of a group of young girls and wives even without wearing fancy clothes.
An Xin is very proud to be their teacher.
Originally, several people were a little annoyed by the gazes coming from all around.
However, after seeing the arrogant and proud look of their little headmaster, they suddenly felt that being stared at was not so unacceptable.
But when An Xin discovered that not only were there women looking at Leng Xiangbai and the others, but there were also several men casting evil glances at them, she narrowed her eyes and swept over like a sharp, cold blade.
When those people met An Xin's dark gaze, they couldn't help but feel a chill on their necks, as if that gaze was like a sharp blade, cutting their necks invisibly.
The pupils of those people shrank slightly, and they quickly withdrew their obscene gazes from Leng Xiangbai and the others, and lowered their heads. Only then did they feel the breath that had been held in their hearts by the oppression of those gazes finally able to breathe normally.
They didn't understand how a woman's gaze could be so sharp, and the aura she exuded was so powerful that it could oppress them and prevent them from even breathing normally.
Leng Xiangbai, Zhu Shijing and others felt the change in An Xin's aura. They looked up at their own headmaster, followed her gaze and frowned in disgust, with dangerous glints in their eyes.
An Xin withdrew her gaze. She always felt that when the scarred-faced man who was the leader of the group of men looked at her intentionally or unintentionally, there was a hint of weirdness in his gloomy eyes.
However, when the enemy comes, we have to fight back. When the water comes, we have to block it with earth. These people haven't done anything yet, so An Xin can't just kill them.
