After being forced to marry as a substitute, I became famous in the limbo

"understood."

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that Shen Tong had already stood in front of the crowd at some point, he waved to the servants, and the servants turned around and carried the corpse to the cart beside him.

After finishing the order, Shen Tong turned his face slightly, but his eyes met Mu Jingzhao who was on the side. He looked at the two of them with a little surprise on his face.

"Young Master, Madam." Shen Tong bowed slightly to the two of them.

Hearing the movement, Jiang Ning quickly stood up and smiled awkwardly at Shen Tong.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?"

The embarrassment on her face was even worse, she was thinking about how to speak, when Mu Jingzhao beside her spoke first, "Ning'er accidentally saw the corpse under the white cloth."

"Madam really worked hard, I will order my servants to prepare some soothing soup for Madam later."

"Thank you sir."

While the three of them were talking, those women who had gathered around the two of them seemed to finally understand that these two were not ordinary merchants, so they couldn't help but spread out to the surroundings, consciously leaving a large area for the three of them. Location.

And Mu Jingzhao's gaze was always on the servant who was constantly transporting the corpses.

As if he understood the doubt in Mu Jingzhao's eyes, he said slowly, "The county magistrate here was killed, and these corpses could not be dealt with centrally. Now that the old minister is here, these matters must be handled properly."

Mu Jingzhao nodded a little appreciatively, "It's hard to appreciate your kindness."

After a while, the servants loaded all the corpses into the cart, and a thin servant jumped onto the carriage and shouted in the direction of Mu Jingzhao and his party, "My lord, everything is ready!" gone."

Shen Tong raised his voice to the servants at the side, and then turned his head to say goodbye to Mu Jingzhao and the two before leaving.

When Shen Tong left completely, the women present no longer wanted to talk to Mu Jingzhao and the two of them. They looked at Jiang Ning and Mu Jingzhao with expressions of pity or vigilance.

"Let's go." Mu Jingzhao turned his head to look at Zhang's house billowing in thick smoke behind him, then glanced at Shen Tong who was driving away, turned around and helped Jiang Ning into the car.

"My lord, where are we going next?"

Mu Jingzhao pondered for a moment, "Go to the city to see if there is an inn still open."

"Yes." Li Zinian lifted the reins, and the carriage drove out quickly.

In the carriage, Mu Jingzhao and Jiang Ning were silent with each other, and the expressions on their faces were not very good-looking.

"What do you think?" Mu Jingzhao asked first.

Jiang Ning was silent for a moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and in the end he only squeezed out a few words, "It's our turn soon."

Mu Jingzhao's face darkened a bit.

"It is almost impossible for the emperor to quietly move out of that house."

Mu Jingzhao leaned on the car window with his elbows, and rubbed his temples wearily, "I have to try."

The carriage stopped in front of an elegantly decorated restaurant, Li Zinian said in front of the carriage, "My lord, I will ask you first."

After finishing speaking, he trotted into the restaurant, and trotted out again in less than half a stick of incense.

"The shopkeeper said that the guest room is full, so the servant will drive to the next one."

Just like this, I went to countless places repeatedly, and the result was that the rooms were full.

"The slave will go to the next house."

Mu Jingzhao rubbed the center of his brows, with an indescribably tired expression on his face, "No need, just find a place to eat."

Li Zinian responded and drove forward again.

In fact, the result of being turned away by people can be guessed without thinking carefully. Nowadays, everyone in the city is in danger. Even if there is an inn willing to take the risk of being hired as a miscellaneous shop, it will never dare to accept a big family like them. Son, a family business.

In case of being targeted by those rebels, his restaurant is implicated, years of foundation are burned, and his life is accidentally lost, no amount of money can be earned back.

The carriage drove around the city for a long time, but couldn't even find a place to sit down, rest and eat.

Now it's past noon, and it's long past the time for lunch. For their own safety, some big restaurants simply closed their doors and stopped serving them.

The carriage went around the city like a headless fly for a long time, but still couldn't find a place to stay and eat.

It really has the flavor of the deserted city in Lin Zheng's words.

Mu Jingzhao turned to look at her, "Do you know where to eat?"

Jiang Ning thought for a while, "Sometimes, I just don't know if I can get into the eyes of the emperor."

By now, Mu Jingzhao naturally had no reason to be picky, so he let Jiang Ning guide Li Zinian.

The carriage made a detour and walked into a deserted alley. During the whole process, Mu Jingzhao kept a solemn expression and did not speak.

She suddenly wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but when she opened her mouth, she turned into nonsense, "Isn't the emperor afraid that I will take this opportunity to attack the emperor?"

Mu Jingzhao looked up at her with an inexplicable expression, but the seriousness on his face finally eased a bit, "You're just not very smart, not brainless."

Hearing the other party's words, Jiang Ning took a deep breath, and for no reason rose the thought of wanting to stab Mu Jingzhao a few times.

Xu Shi also realized that his tone was a bit unkind, so he changed his tone, "Of course I believe you."

These two words of soft and hard made Jiang Ning lose his temper in an instant. She was neither angry nor moved. She had a lot of thoughts in her heart, so she simply rolled her eyes at Mu Jingzhao and stopped talking.

The speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and finally stopped. In front of the carriage, Li Zinian raised his voice and asked, "Madam, we have arrived at the place you mentioned."

The tangled expression on Jiang Ning's face finally turned into a somewhat gentle smile, and she stretched out her hand to Mu Jingzhao, "Please, my lord."

Mu Jingzhao smiled slightly, and reached out to hold Jiang Ning's hand.

The two got out of the car together, Jiang Ning felt that the action was a little inappropriate for a moment, and suddenly struggled, but Mu Jingzhao clenched even tighter.

She simply gave up.

She led Mu Jingzhao towards a stall with a tarpaulin.

The stall was extremely simple, with only a big pot and a simple table and chairs.

The iron pot covered with a lid is emitting hot steam, and a woman in common clothes is sitting on a bamboo chair at the edge of the iron pot, presumably the owner of the stall.

The woman's face was covered with a plantain fan, and as she breathed, the fan kept rising and falling.

"Old—" Mu Jingzhao was about to wake up the boss, but was stopped by Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning walked slowly, and was about to step forward with his back. He let go of two steps, and then realized that one of his hands was being held by Mu Jingzhao.

Jiang Ning raised his hand helplessly, and Mu Jingzhao let go.

She braved her waist and walked slowly to the boss, carefully grasping the handle of the banana fan on her face.

The sun was caught off guard, the boss struggled a few times to show his impatience, and when he saw Jiang Ning in front of him, he wanted to curse. (end of this chapter)
