Chapter 98 Entering Jinzhou City
Ji Xiaohan understood and nodded in agreement, "Yes, after this prince woke up, his body was weak and needed tonic. Those high-quality medicinal herbs are indispensable, and we really need to stock up in advance."
Su Wanyan giggled. Ji Xiaohan looked like a serious man, but she didn't expect that he could be so humorous in private. He could even tell jokes like this so smoothly. It seemed that judging people based entirely on the settings in the books was not accurate at all.
The team moved forward in silence. No one spoke, whether it was Shen Xinhou's family or Liu Hongcai's family. They fell into a suppressed and panicked silence. Perhaps the pursuit just now was no longer just targeting the Xiao Palace, but they might also be affected and their lives would be in danger at any time. This realization made them begin to learn to be uneasy and obedient. At least when Liu Hongcai's family looked at the people from the Xiao Palace, they no longer looked at them with contempt and ridicule, but also planned to learn from Shen Xinhou's family and spend money to save their lives.
Jinzhou City is a prosperous town connecting the three cities in front and behind. Many people living here come from various places, and there are endless caravans coming and going for business. The Meng family has been the richest family in Jinzhou City since the generation of Mr. Meng’s father. It has been passed down to Meng Lianyu, who has expanded the business and expanded it to various towns in the Great Zhou Kingdom.
On the bustling streets, eight out of ten shops are owned by the Meng family, and many businesses are even monopolized by the Meng family. There is no way around it, because the Meng family is so rich and powerful. Except for not being decisive enough in dealing with their daughter Meng Jinwei, the Meng family always has the final say in other areas.
This was Su Wanyan's first time in Jinzhou City. She looked at the bustling streets through the car curtains. Seeing that many of the shops on both sides were hanging the Meng family's flags, she knew how amazing the financial resources and strength of the original owner's grandfather's family were!
The original owner was willing to abandon such a powerful backer?
Just because Su Hongan once said something bad about the Meng family?
Oh! This silly girl!
If you had contacted your grandparents earlier, maybe you wouldn't have died!
What a pity, now I, an outsider, have benefited from it.
Su Wanyan sighed and pondered all the way, wondering how she should approach Meng Yuanliang's family after seeing them in the evening to renew her friendly relationship with them after being out of touch for so many years.
The old man Meng Yuanliang lost his most beloved daughter and then his granddaughter. This was so cruel for an old man.
If the Meng family members were rude to her at night, she would have to bear it for the original owner and treat it with a smile, trying to gain the Meng family's forgiveness. Then she would secretly take out some of the good things she brought out from the imperial city, hoping to be as filial as possible to the original owner and her daughter.
There was a high flow of people in Jinzhou City, and the people coming and going were complicated. This group of exiles did not stop at all and went directly to the county jail in Jinzhou City.
Two officers were missing, and a letter had to be written promptly and sent back to the imperial city to report the specific situation. However, I think the families of the two dead officers would be compensated on the grounds that they encountered bandits and unfortunately died on the road. The specific situation could only be covered up by the intrigues of those people.
After Shu Mingyuan handed over the task to the jailer on duty, he walked over to He Bo and whispered something to him. Before leaving, he quietly left a set of prison keys for He Bo.
Su Wanyan's eyes flashed. When was Shu Mingyuan bribed?
