Chapter 18 Shen Congwen’s awakening!
Shen Lanxi put away her smile and looked at the so-called Wei Jiajun family members with cold eyes.
"Wei Jiajun has no military flag. Who sent you here to kill people and silence them?"
Frustration flashed across the faces of the Wei Jiajun family members, and they quickly denied it: "We are just common people. , how did you know that you were the one who deceived us about the military flag of the Wei family? What is your relationship with the Shen family? Why do you want to help them?"
"Don't listen to her nonsense, she is here to help the Shen family. "Hurry up and kill the Shen family!"
Shen Lanxi shouted: "You don't even know that the military flag of our Zhou Dynasty army is named Zhou. You are pretending to be the family members of the Wei Jiajun. The case of the theft of military pay for the Wei Jiajun." It doesn’t matter, he was wrongly accused. The person behind the murder is the real culprit of the Wei Jiajun’s salary being stolen!”
“You are talking nonsense, we are the Wei Jiajun family members!”
"Kill her, she is also a member of the Shen family!"
Shen Lanxi said firmly: "You are afraid and anxious, because there are no family members of the Wei family behind you. Your move is tantamount to rebellion. Who is a good civilian? The people are not doing their best, and we will die together with you!”
Chun Xue immediately shouted to cheers: “You are the fake family members of the Wei family, and you are the real culprits of the Wei family’s food and salary being stolen. I will take you to see the officials now!”

Liu Laohu saw the fake Wei Jiajun's panic, and he was already sure that what Shen Lanxi said was true, and there was no one behind them.
"If we take them down and send them to the officials, they will be rewarded heavily by the officials!"
When the officials heard this sentence, they immediately raised their swords and chopped them!
As soon as the fake Wei family members saw what was going on, they threw down their farm tools, turned around and ran into the mountains.
After the Yamen chased him for dozens of meters, he was stopped by Liu Laohu.
"Don't chase the poor criminals, hurry up!"
This matter is not simple at first glance. Liu Laohu glanced at the Shen family and felt that they were hot potatoes that could not be thrown away. Unable to handle it, he cursed loudly and immediately took out his whip to vent his anger on the exiled prisoner.
Shen Lanxi glanced in the direction of Shen Yuanzhan, eating her and hers, and pushing her father out to take the blame?
When they set off again, the speed of the cadres obviously increased. Anyone who walks slowly will be whipped by the Yamen without saying a word.
Weeping for father and mother continued along the way. Fortunately, after experiencing what happened to the fake Wei family members, the Shen family members all moved forward honestly, and no one was whipped!
"Sir, what should I do with this person?" There is also a fake family member who is tied up and has not been dealt with.
Shen Lanxi: "Tie him to the back of the carriage, don't let him escape."
"Yes!"
After walking for more than two hours under the scorching sun, there was a prisoner. I was so thirsty that I went to the government office to ask for water. He was whipped more than a dozen times by the yamen, but the others didn't dare to get into trouble and obediently paid for water.
"Father, I'm so thirsty!" Shen Yuanqing saw several uncles drinking water at home and couldn't help but said to his father.
Shen Congwen also saw it, and when he thought about being pushed out by the people in the third brother's room to take the blame, disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"The money is with your grandmother. I'll go ask your grandmother for some!"
The children nodded quickly, they were all thirsty.
I don’t know what Shen Congwen said there, but he soon came back dejected.
"Father, is the money coming?" Shen Yuanqing asked quickly.
Shen Congwen lowered his head and said nothing.
"Father..." The younger children in the first house shouted again.
Suddenly Shen Yuanjing screamed.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Xinrou felt her eyes go dark, her legs went weak, and she was about to fall, but Shen Yuanjing caught her with quick eyes and hands.
"Father, mother is so hot!"
Shen Congwen was anxious and quickly touched his wife's forehead.
“Your mother has a fever!”
The children who were the direct children of the eldest family were all anxious.
"Father, what should we do? Can we get a doctor here?" "Father, let's go ask the government official for help? Big sister must have a way!"
Shen Congwen looked at his wife distressedly, hating his own powerlessness, and punched his leg heavily.
“Today’s events have already made it very difficult for you eldest sister. The office keeper almost didn’t ask your eldest sister to deliver food to us at noon. I can’t make it difficult for you eldest sister anymore!”
He finally understood why his daughter had to hide her identity and even send meat to them secretly.
"You wait!"
When Shen Congwen stood up again, his eyes were determined and he strode towards Mrs. Shen.
When I came back, I had a kettle, antipyretic medicine, and half a bag of broken silver in my hand!
"Drink. If you don't have enough, go and ask the yamen for more!"
"Father, give mother some to drink first. I will carry her on my back later!" Shen Yuanjing said hurriedly.
“We take turns carrying our mother!” the other children responded.
Shen Congwen's eyes were red and tears almost fell out.
No matter how kind he was to his parents and brothers in the past, if something happened, the only ones willing to help him unconditionally were his children.
He will never be as confused as before!
At night, there was no inn. After the sun turned west, the officials found a flat place to spend the night.
After the exiled prisoners received the order to rest, they immediately lay on the ground and groaned.
In the past, the yamen cadres would not walk as fast as today, and several elderly yamen cadres were also a little overwhelmed.
"Brother Liu, why are we walking so fast?" the Yamen asked after sitting down.
Liu Laohu glanced around thoughtfully and did not answer.
"Brother Liu, is what the man said today true or false? If someone kills someone and silences them, wouldn't the Shen family be wronged?"
After hearing this, Liu Laohu said, He immediately kicked the person who spoke and scolded severely: "If you don't want to die, don't talk nonsense!"
The kicked officer immediately trembled in fear and did not dare to speak nonsense anymore.
"Tell the brothers to be more alert tonight, and you will take turns to keep vigil!" Liu Laohu ordered a few people.
The cadres also felt the danger from Liu Laohu's arrangement, and they all became more courageous.
Mother Li carried a bamboo basket to deliver meals to Liu Laohu and the others, two roast chickens, two pieces of braised beef, and a large bag of steamed buns!
If it hadn’t been for what happened today, the government officials would definitely have enjoyed the food and would have praised them for being a good person, but now none of them would dare to reach out and take it.
Liu Laohu looked at the fragrant braised beef, snorted, and was the first to reach out for it!
"Open up and eat. We can't eat such precious things normally!" If he really wanted to do anything to them, he would have done it long ago. After eating several good meals, Liu Laohu didn’t want to eat cold pancakes again!
After Mrs. Li went back, she packed another basket of food.
"Sir, I'm delivering food to the master and his wife!"
Since the officials eat the food she delivers, they will definitely not stop her from delivering it to the Shen family.
"Haruyuki, take some wound medicine and send it to Mother Li!"
Haruyuki hurried to get it.
Shen Lanxi took out a stick from the carriage and put it upright on the shaft, jumped out of the car and stretched his muscles.
There is a tough battle to be fought tonight, so warm up in advance!
