Hearing him say this, King Xiao and his wife thanked him profusely.
"Someone! Search for any suspicious persons around the post station. We must not let the murderer go unpunished!"
"놆!"
He Lingsheng's men went in a mighty force to look for the suspicious person, while the real culprit was cooking for the officials.
Shang Ruoyi fried a plate of shredded pork with green peppers and a plate of eggs. She lied that she found pheasant eggs and wild peppers in the mountains, but in fact, these were all taken out from the space.
"Boss, this time we escorted the fugitives, the food was the best we've ever had."
Zhang Hu nodded. Not only was the food the best, but he also got the most money.
How could Shang Ruoyi be the unfavored concubine they were talking about?
Not to mention a concubine's daughter, even if she is a legitimate daughter, she doesn't have so much gold and silver!
How could he know that all the things Shang Ruoyi used to prepare the things came from the dowry in the space, and as for the things in the storehouse of Prince Ding's mansion, she did not touch a penny.
When she came back with two dishes, the He family's eyes lit up.
"There's actually meat!" He Jingxi exclaimed, "Enough for everyone to have a piece."
Although the two dishes are not much, you should be happy to be able to eat these on the road of exile!
The other prisoners saw how delicious the food was, and their mouths watered. They bit the grain cakes hard, as if they could taste meat.
At this time, they saw that there was a piece of meat and a few eggs in Fuzi's bowl, and they couldn't help but envy her.
At this time, a man came out and knelt beside Shang Ruoyi: "Miss Shang, do you still need a servant here? I used to escort in the escort agency, and I know some boxing and kicking skills."
Shang Ruoyi looked at him and nodded: "Of course you can."
In fact, Shang Ruoyi had noticed him a long time ago. This man was big and burly, and it was obvious that he was a martial artist. The journey was long, and there were many women in the He family team, so there was no guarantee that there would be any danger.
It would be much safer if there were guards in the team.
"Thank you, young lady. My name is Li Wenyuan."
Shang Ruoyi handed him a set of bowls and chopsticks: "There is rice in the jar, go and get it yourself."
When the He family saw that she had recruited another guard, they couldn't help but worry.
How can we have enough food if this goes on?
He Jingheng's eyes fell on Li Wenyuan, and he had no appetite when looking at the food in the bowl.
"Why don't you eat?" Shang Ruoyi saw him put down his bowl and chopsticks: "Is the food not to your liking?"
"Have you eaten enough?" He Jingheng pointed at the table with his index finger, and He Qinian hurriedly helped him up.
He Jingheng could still walk with the reattached leg, but not the other leg. The skin and flesh had begun to heal, but he now walked with a limp.
He Jingheng sat on the head with his back to everyone. He Yunyi looked at his brother's attitude, walked to Shang Ruoyi and whispered, "I didn't expect that brother would have this day."
"Hmm?" Shang Ruoyi didn't understand: "What's wrong with He Jingheng?"
"In the past, I always saw my brother being jealous in words, but I always thought that this kind of thing only happened in words. In reality, how could my brother be like that to a woman? I didn't expect that I would see it with my own eyes today." He Yunyi's voice was very low, but it sounded like thunder to Shang Ruoyi: "Sister-in-law, my brother is jealous because you took in a guard."
What?
Jealous?
How is this possible?
The two of them had agreed to discuss their separation when they arrived at the place of exile.
"You think too much." Shang Ruoyi shook her head: "Your brother is not the kind of person who gets jealous. Besides, we've only been married for a few days, and we've only met once on the wedding day."
"Sister-in-law, don't you know?"
"Know what?"
"You are just like the beauty described in that sentence that makes people fall in love at first sight. Which boy would not like you when he sees you?" In He Yunyi's eyes, Shang Ruoyi is an extremely perfect person: "If I were a man, I would marry you home no matter what."
Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but hold her forehead. This young lady said that she didn't like going out, didn't like seeing people, and always stayed in her room to talk.
She looked at He Jingheng, who was resting with his eyes closed above her head. It was really hard for her to imagine what this man would be like if he fell in love with a woman.
He did not notice that the two men in the prisoner team looked at each other in disbelief.
The next few days were sunny and the temperature was getting higher and higher. Coincidentally, there were high mountains all the way and no water source at all.
The water supplied by the officials was almost finished.
Shang Ruoyi had secretly added spiritual spring water to the water bag several times, otherwise their water would have been drunk up long ago.
"What kind of weather is this? It rained heavily a few days ago, and it's been terribly dry these days." The officials wiped the sweat from their foreheads, feeling more and more irritated.
The prisoners' lips were cracked from thirst.
The He family hid the water bag, fearing that the little water they had would be taken away.
"Mother." Qin poured a mouthful of water and handed it to the old princess: "Drink some!"
The old princess drank the water and sighed: "It seems that the road ahead will become more and more difficult!"
He Zhiyuan nodded: "Oh! It seems that there is a severe drought here."
The land where I passed these days was dry and cracked. It seemed that there had been no rain for some time.
Now is the season for planting crops, but the land is short of water, all the seedlings have withered, and there is no harvest in the farmland.
As they were talking, they saw a group of people walking towards them from a distance. They were dressed in rags and looked like refugees.
Seeing the fire here, he walked towards them.
Unexpectedly, the police escorted the prisoners.
An elderly man stepped forward, his back slightly bent, and said to the official: "Sir, we are from Lijia Village, I am the village chief Li Gui. It is getting late now and we really can't go on. I wonder if we can stay here with you? Don't worry, we can just stay outside the temple for one night and won't disturb you."
Zhang Hu nodded: "It's OK inside."
The old man was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly invited the villagers in.
"Old man, are you moving here?" Zhang Hu walked forward, looked at the hundreds of villagers, frowned and asked, "What happened in Lijia Village?"
Speaking of this, Li Gui sighed and said, "It's a long story. Our Lijia Village has been suffering from severe drought for consecutive years. The crops have not been harvested. Not only that, but we have to pay taxes every year. We are really desperate. Who would be willing to leave their home?" He continued slowly, "In the village, most of the elderly and children starved to death. It's miserable!"
At this time, the cry of a baby was heard.
Li Gui hurried over and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and find a way to stop her from crying. We finally found a place to stay, but we angered the official and he kicked us out. What should we do?"
"Can 놆······"
At this moment, a hand holding a bowl of water was handed to her: "Drink it, it can help you fight off the disease."
