Chapter 42: The world is in chaos, but a wise ruler appears!
The Shen family members were exposed, and the ones they hated the most were none other than the other prisoners!
They were happily spending the money they earned from Black Wind Village in Anzhen when, before they could even spend it, they were called back, shackled and put in chains, and then driven out of the inn and taken out of the city gate to be settled with the refugees who had settled under the city gate!
I found out after inquiring that it was because of the Shen family!
Damn it, I didn't get a single benefit from the Shen family along the way, I was just dragged down by them!
"If the Shen family wants to die, let them die. Why drag us into it?"
"Wait until they get back, and I'll teach them a lesson!"
The prisoners were all eager to fight the Shen family, but when the Shen family actually arrived, they couldn't bring themselves to do it!
It's not that I'm overflowing with sympathy, it's that I'm disgusted!
"It's not that I don't want to beat them up, it's that they stink!"
"Me too. In this heat, aren't they going to get maggots?"
"Ugh~ It stinks! Tell them to stay away from us, I'm about to throw up!"
The prisoners spoke loudly on purpose so that the Shen family could hear them.
The Shen family had never been treated with such disdain before. Wherever they went, they were fawned over and flattered like stars around the moon. They had never been treated with such contempt.
Old Mrs. Shen could no longer hold back; her vision went black, and she collapsed forward!
"Mother…"
"grandmother…"
The more glorious the Shen family was when they entered the city, the more miserable they were when they left!
Fugui Village
One person hurriedly returned to Fugui Village
"The Shen family has appeared in Anzhen. Let's kill them and avenge the Wei family army!"
"where are they?"
"When I arrived, they had been driven out of the city and were with the refugees."

"Young Master, the Shen family has been taken outside the city!" Liu Yan reported.
Shen Lanxi: "Tell Liu Laohu and the others that they've been wronged these past two days."
Liu Yan replied, "Young Master is very generous; I'm sure they won't feel wronged!"
Shen Lanxi glanced at his attire and chuckled, "I have something for you to do, and your current outfit is just right!"
Liu Yan glanced down at her brocade robes and immediately smiled confidently: "Please give your orders, young master!"
She took out a box she had prepared beforehand: "I rented a warehouse in South Alley. You will disguise yourself as a medicinal herb merchant and use this money to buy medicinal herbs for me. You only have two days, so buy as much as you can!"
Liu Yan opened the box and took a look. Inside was a thick stack of silver notes, the smallest denomination being one hundred taels. With such a thickness, it was conservatively estimated to be worth at least several hundred thousand taels!
"Young master, are you planning to go into the medicinal herb trade?" Liu Yan asked.
Shen Lanxi casually made up a story: "There will be reliable people to help me ship the medicinal herbs to various places to sell!"
Liu Yanhui didn't ask any more questions. Just as she was about to leave with the box, she heard someone behind her say, "Hire more reliable guards!"
Liu Yan turned around and respectfully replied, "Yes!"
She still had some things to do after nightfall!
The guard from the Prince of Zhennan's mansion who had previously spread rumors lived in the inn next door to her. On a dark and windy night, a life was lost silently in the inn!
outside the city
More and more refugees gathered outside Anzhen town. To be on the safe side, Liu Laohu led the prisoners to hide among the refugees.
The idea was good, but unfortunately, the Shen family reeked of a foul stench that kept the other refugees away. A clear safe zone was left between the exile team and the refugees. If it weren't for Liu Laohu's concern for the Shen family's lives, he would have led the constables far away.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and ironically, the hotter it gets, the less wind there is.
The stench emanated from the Shen family and slowly spread outwards. The smell lingered, and anyone who got close to the Shen family was doomed.
This provoked the other prisoners!
"Damn it, if you hadn't exposed your identities, we'd be living the high life in the city right now!"
"Go to hell~" We've had it tough enough. This is our first time being human, so who's going to give in to whom!
Those with short tempers will just kick him.
The women glared fiercely at the Shen family members. They wanted to kick them too, but they were afraid of getting dirty!
"Look at you all, get out of the way, I'm going!" Madam Song shoved the women blocking her way aside with both hands and pounced on one of the Shen family women like a hungry wolf, scratching her as soon as she got up!
"Master, save me..."
The woman being scratched on the ground was the second wife, and her children quickly begged for help.
"Father, Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, hurry and help!"
No matter how much they pleaded, not a single person stood up, including the Second Master, Shen Conglian!
When the children of the second wife saw that no one was helping them, and when they heard their mother calling for them, they went up to rescue the person!
Seeing that the constables weren't intervening, the men who were beating people became even bolder. But since they all disliked the Shen family, they didn't lay a hand on them; instead, they kicked them!
"Father, where are you going?" Shen Yuanjing called out to his father as soon as he saw him heading over.
Shen Congwen struggled to his feet: "Yuanjing, quick, go help! Protect your grandparents!"
Shen Yuanjing said with a long face, "Father, have you forgotten that it was because Grandmother caused trouble that we were recognized?"
"Father, please don't go. Mother has only just recovered a little. If you go and attract their attention, they might beat us up too, what will we do?" Shen Yuantang said unhappily.
Seeing that those people had already laid a hand on his father and mother, Shen Congwen immediately put on a stern face and reprimanded the children.
"Your father sent you, are you going to obey me or not?"
"Those are your grandparents. Do you want to be branded as unfilial?"
Shen Yuanjing and the others all looked unwilling, but they had no choice but to obey their father and slowly make their way over.
As you can imagine, there's only one outcome: they'll all get beaten up!
Not far away
"It seems like we don't need to lift a finger?"
"What do they smell like? I really can't bring myself to do it."
Me too!
"Killing them directly would be too easy on them. It's good that they're being tortured like this every day!"
"That's right. I'll stay here and keep an eye on things. You all go back and take care of the young general. When he wakes up, we'll hear what he has to say!"
After discussing the matter, the group immediately split into two groups!
In the middle of the night, a prisoner got up to use the bathroom and, still half asleep, tripped over something. He turned around and kicked it.
A clattering sound rang out, sounding exactly like the rolling of silver ingots. The prisoner immediately woke up, looked down, and immediately knelt down, begging his ancestors for blessings!
Liu Yanhui was very efficient. When she went to the warehouse, merchants had already started transporting medicinal herbs into it.
When I went to the teahouse to inquire about the news, the news of Zhou Ruyuan's divorce had been replaced by an even more sensational piece of news!
"Have you heard? A descendant of Guiguzi has reappeared!"
"I've heard about it, I've heard about it!"
That was all the talk; no one dared to continue, because what they said next would be a capital offense!
Legend has it that when a descendant of Guiguzi reappears, chaos reigns and a wise ruler emerges!
