Chapter 96 Old Madam Shen Gets Beaten!
"What if the Third Princess's people don't come?" Liu Yan asked.
Shen Lanxi pulled out the sixth piece of intelligence.
"Zhou Qiwu's in-law was Liu Binglin, the admiral of the Tianjin Navy."
Liu Yanhui took a deep breath and said, "Zhou Qiwu has really found a good match for his daughter!"
Shen Lanxi said confidently, "Zhou Xiwu hates the Shen family too much. She will definitely send the Liu family to pursue us!"
Looking at the thick stack of intelligence reports, Liu Yan returned to Wei Dongzhu and knew that she had the confidence to say these things!
"It's only a matter of time before the Liu family catches up with us!" Shen Lanxi said confidently.
The three nodded.
Shen Lanxi looked at Liu Yanhui: "Are you sure?"
Liu Yan gritted her teeth and said firmly, "It's confirmed!"
Shen Lanxi: "After sailing for two more days, our ship will slow down. At that time, you can take a few people to Tongluo Island to surrender!"
Liu Yan replied: "Okay!"
"You can decide for yourselves who goes back with Liu Yan. Go and prepare!" Shen Lanxi looked at the boat behind her. After the three left, she asked the boat owner to launch the small boat and go to the other boat.

"Fifth brother, how are they?" She was referring to the people brought back from the dungeon of the princess's residence!
Feng Wu: "Two are dead, three are in critical condition, and the rest are half-dead!"
"Most of them are students from Qinglan Academy. Zhou Qiwu and Wang Mingru are not on good terms, and they are the victims of their power struggle!"
Feng Wu sighed, "Their tongues have all been cut out, some have lost their legs, some have lost their hands. Even if they are saved, they will be crippled!"
He was in charge of the assassination department, and his killings were always swift and fatal; he never tortured his victims. Zhou Qiwu clearly found pleasure in torturing and humiliating others, and encountering someone like that made his hands itch with desire.
He would accept a job if someone offered him money to kill Zhou Xiwu, even if the price was unreasonable!
"If they hadn't been locked in the dungeon, they would all be pillars of the Great Zhou in the future!" Some people just like to torture outstanding people to show off their power and gain a sense of superiority. These people would definitely be outstanding and talented in the academy!
"Fifth brother, do your best to save him!"
Feng Wu raised the corners of his mouth: "I knew you would say that. We have already given them the best medicine."
Their Guigu Valley has some connection with Yaowang Valley, and the medicines they use are all produced by Yaowang Valley.
Shen Lanxi understood her fifth senior brother's temperament; he was stubborn but soft-hearted, and especially protective of his own. These were people she had approved to save, so she would definitely take good care of them from beginning to end!
She discussed the next steps with her fifth senior brother, then went to check on the women of Liu Zhao Village before returning.
Liu Laohu previously said that the prisoners would be starved for three days, but in reality they were only starved for one day. This morning, he ordered people to distribute the prepared cornbread.
The exiled prisoners all came from the capital, and more than half of them were unable to swim, not to mention the women. At most, they would go out for sightseeing by pleasure boat, and the time they spent on the boat would not exceed an hour at most.
Yesterday, my stomach wasn't empty, but after eating today, I started to feel seasick. One by one, I lay in the cabin and vomited up all the cornbread I had just eaten.
"Mother, I don't want to stay in the lower deck anymore!"
"Grandma, I'm dizzy, I feel so awful, Grandma, am I going to die? Please help me..."
Most of the Shen family members were seasick, and the other exiled prisoners were not much better off. For a time, the cabin was filled with the stench of vomit.
"Doesn't your Shen family have powerful connections? Tell them to let us out!" The exiled prisoners refused.
"We were implicated because of your Shen family. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be wearing shackles or chains. We might even be living comfortably in our rooms upstairs, eating and drinking well!"
"Yes, it's all the Shen family's fault. They've been causing trouble all along the way, as if they're afraid of dragging us down with them. We've had the worst luck of our lives to run into them; they're jinxes!"
"You'd better get someone to get us out of here right now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
Hearing the threats, the Shen family members were reminded of the nightmare of being beaten the day before. They couldn't understand how their family had fallen to such a state.
"It's all because of that old hag! If she hadn't rushed out yelling, we wouldn't have been thrown down!"
"Yes, that's the constable she offended. Beat her up!"
Startled, Madam Shen kept backing away, and with a clatter, the porcelain bottle in her arms fell to the ground.
The exiled prisoners nearby, with sharp eyes, immediately pounced and snatched it.
"That's mine!" When Madam Shen saw that the medicine had been snatched away, she immediately pounced on him, but was kicked away by the person.
"Bullshit! What I got is mine! If you dare come any closer, I'll kill you!" The prisoner raised his fist, looking fierce.
The old lady was kicked back two steps, her foot slipped, and she fell directly onto the vomit!
"Ugh~" Miao was the closest and got splashed with vomit. Her face turned pale and she started dry heaving.
“Mother…” Shen Congwen, disregarding his seasickness, quickly went over to help his mother up.
Madam Shen could no longer bear it and threw herself into her son's arms, wailing loudly!
"That old hag, all she does is cry. What good does crying do? Will it get us up there?"
"If I hear you wailing again, I'll slap your old face until it's rotten!"
Shen Congwen looked at those people with a face full of grief and indignation.
"You've gone too far!"
The prisoner grinned maliciously: "So what if I bully you? Who can help you?"
"Tch~ If someone were willing to help them, would they still be stuck at the bottom of the ship like us?"
"Some people just can't see reality, they rely on their age and seniority, and they offend everyone!"
Madam Shen refused to believe that her free-moving children and grandchildren couldn't defeat a few prisoners in shackles and chains.
"Congwen, you guys beat them up badly and avenge me!" Old Madam Shen said fiercely, pointing at the people who had pushed her down.
Unfortunately, of all her children and grandchildren, only Shen Congwen stood up; the others didn't budge an inch!
When the prisoners saw that only Shen Congwen stood up, they immediately burst into contemptuous and unrestrained laughter.
"I thought they were all tough guys, but they're just a bunch of cowardly wimps!"
Without the men lifting a finger, the female prisoners each kicked Shen Congwen and subdued him.
"You old hag, how dare you let someone hit my man! All of you come and beat her up!"
A group of female prisoners rushed over and began punching and kicking Madam Shen.
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!" Shen Congwen grimaced in pain as he crawled over to protect them.
Old Madam Shen was terrified. These women, afraid she would scream, stuffed her mouth with the soles of their shoes. The soles of their shoes were covered in some kind of filthy, disgusting stuff!
These ungrateful bastards, they've spoiled her for nothing, they just watched her get beaten up without even coming to her aid.
Only her eldest son protected her, sob sob... She regretted it; she shouldn't have favored her other sons, she should have favored her eldest son...
Shen Lanxi returned to the ship and began reading. Occasionally, exclamations of surprise could be heard. After being warned by Liu Yanhui, even when a big fish was caught, she dared not cheer anymore and instead whispered among herself.
Every now and then a bucket of fish would be delivered to the top of the boat. After Xiaoxue had eaten her fill, she flapped her wings and flew away.
Chunxue and Qiushuang, who were standing to the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Being watched intently by a giant eagle while killing fish was terrifying!
