Chapter 283: One Melon After Another

"Should we pay for the tea first and then go in?" Qu Fufeng asked the leader for his opinion.

"Let's wait until Meng Shanchuan comes back." Lu Yanshi shook his head.

By the way, during this period of time, you can observe how ridiculous these soldiers can be.

Is Liyang City rotten from top to bottom, or are the people below deceiving their superiors and taking bribes on their own initiative?

"Okay." Qu Fufeng listened to the advice and returned to the carriage at the back.

Tian Nan Xing also knew the reason why they couldn't enter the city, and rolled his eyes: "Why bother? I can just sprinkle a bag of powder over there and make them all faint, and then we can just walk in with a swagger."

Lu Heng, who came to his carriage to learn medicine from him: ...

The master's method is as simple and crude as always.

"Master, we are not in the valley now. We can't do whatever we want. We must abide by the laws of Daxia." He advised earnestly.

"Even the officials don't abide by the law, so why should we ordinary people abide by it?" Tian Nanxing sneered at his statement.

Lu Heng replied seriously, "So Father will take care of them. Master, you don't want to be arrested and put in jail, do you?"

When Tian Nanxing heard about going to jail, she curled her lips.

"Okay, let's wait. Don't be distracted, tell me what the effects of Fenugreek are." He reached out and tapped Lu Heng's forehead, and began to examine his homework.

Lu Heng quickly replied: "Vaccinium myrtles can invigorate blood circulation, dissipate blood stasis, promote diuresis and relieve stranguria..."

While they were learning medical skills in this carriage, Jiang Heci in the carriage next to them was sewing soles for Lu Qi, and Qu Fufeng was sitting beside him watching him work.

"Brother Jiang is really clever and deft."

He looked at Jiang Heci with admiration.

This kid is not only good at cooking, but also good at needlework.

He is truly a must-have man for both home and travel.

"That's the least I can do for you." Jiang Heci smiled shyly.

As for the carriage in the front, sitting in it were Lu Yanshi, his father and his daughter.

Lu Li was bored, so he leaned against the car window and looked out at the various passers-by going into the city to eat melons.

[Sister, it's not you who can't have children, it's clearly your husband who can't. ]

[How pitiful! I was deceived by everyone in my husband's family.]

[She thought that she was unable to bear children, and now she was working like a slave for her husband's family. She should be grateful that they did not divorce her because she could not bear children.]

…

[Wow, auntie, please don't force your son to get married. ]

[He doesn't like women, so it's useless to force him. ]

[He feels like vomiting whenever he touches a woman. Haven't you noticed this in all these years? ]

…

[Ah, old man, all the coffin books you hid have been found by your unfilial sons.]

[If you don't go home, you won't be able to keep your money. ]

[They will also replace your fine golden nanmu coffin with a willow one.]

[These unfilial sons are so brave, they are not afraid that their father will turn into a fierce ghost and come back to seek revenge on them. ]

…

[Oh my god, what kind of hobby is this? ]

[This scholar deliberately seduced his wife into having an affair.]

[He also created an opportunity for his wife to bring her lover home, while he hid under the bed and eavesdropped???]

Lu Li was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

Lu Yanshi and Lu Qi listened to her talk about one gossip after another, and they were shocked at first but gradually became numb.

The father and daughter looked at each other and thought, haha, the lives of ordinary people are really rich and colorful.

They each held a book and pretended to read, but in fact they all pricked up their ears to listen to Lu Li's thoughts.

Fortunately, Lu Li told them all this gossip, so they didn't have to wait so bored outside the city gate.

An hour later, Meng Shanchuan came out in a hurry and went straight to Lu Yanshi's carriage.

"Fourth Master, now that everything is ready, let's go into the city and rest. I have already found out some clues. I will check it out carefully tomorrow and give you the results."

"Well done." Lu Yanshi nodded and asked the driver to drive into the city again.

This time, the soldiers guarding the city did not stop them.

The two men were grinning foolishly as they held the silver given by Meng Shanchuan.

Lu Yanshi's expression turned cold, and he called Chuyi over to give him a few instructions.

"Bring back the silver and teach them a lesson."

Even if you take his money, you have to see if you can live to spend it.

"Yes." Chuyi responded.

That night, the two soldiers guarding the city were beaten up with clubs.

All the silver they had was looted.

The two men fainted in the alley. Seeing that they were wearing official uniforms, ordinary people did not dare to help them for fear of being blamed.

In the end, it was the patrol officers who sent them back home.

Their families were shocked, but the officials demanded fees from them.

"We are all colleagues, it shouldn't be that serious." The wife of one of them couldn't help but speak up.

"I've wasted so much time on this trip. If the patrol makes a mistake, can you bear the responsibility?" The officer who sent the person back sneered.

The wife didn't dare to say anything more. She just paid them for their errands and went to take care of her husband.

Unexpectedly, she was also knocked unconscious as soon as she entered the house.

The next day, when the couple woke up one after the other, they found that their house had been robbed!!!

All the valuables in the house were cleared out.

Zhou Cheng was furious: "What on earth is going on?"

Her wife, Zhu, tearfully told her everything that had happened the previous night.

"It must have been those bastards!"

Zhou Cheng gritted his teeth.

"They knocked me and Wang Dun unconscious first, pretended to be kind enough to send us back, then knocked you unconscious, and then took away all our things."

Zhu was shocked: "Not really, after all, you are a government employee."

"Those bastards have lost their conscience a long time ago. Otherwise, why would they ask you for money after sending me back last night?" Zhou Cheng cursed.

"You must have given them too much money, which made them greedy."

He didn't dare to settle the score with those people, so he had to vent his anger on his wife.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I was wrong, I was wrong." Zhu cried and wailed.

After beating his wife, Zhou Cheng felt much better and decided to go find his good brother Wang Dun, who had defended the city with him yesterday, to ask about the situation.

Zhou Cheng became even angrier when he learned that Wang Dun's house had also been ransacked.

"Let's go and report to the police! How dare you, you son of a bitch, set your sights on me."

"Zhou Cheng, don't go. If you go, you will have to give all kinds of silver to those constables. Let's just consider it as bad luck. Anyway, we can ask those fat sheep who come into the city for the lost silver." Wang Dun stopped him.

When Zhou Cheng heard this, he thought what he said made sense.

It would be a wasted trip if I went now, so I might as well take a rest and wait until tomorrow when I start my shift.

"All right." He sighed, cursed the officers a few times, and took the blame on them, intending to get it back next time.

The officers who sent them home last night didn't know that they had unintentionally been implicated.

After this news spread, the poor families nearby who suddenly had extra money in their homes last night immediately understood where the money came from.

There must be some kind-hearted person robbing the rich to help the poor!
