Chapter 479 "Robbing the Rich to Help the Poor"
At the same time, the "criminal" who committed this major crime was leisurely driving an old and quaint carriage out of the city.

Seeing that there was no unusual movement in the city for a long time, Wen Shu knew that this move was the right one.

If she simply took Liu Zhang and others away, the Han family father and son would know without hesitation that they were kidnapped by her, and by then all the soldiers in the city might come to stop her.

If things go wrong, a wanted warrant may even be issued, and the journey to Fuzhou will be very painful.

So, why not just do something big and muddy the waters!

They were so shocked that they lost their minds and didn't know where to start if they wanted to settle the score!
Moreover, under the shock of such a "big event", her escape from prison seems insignificant.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

As for the people and things in the reception building, of course she put them into the storage basket.

I have to say that Yingbinlou is worthy of being the most luxurious restaurant in Haozhou City. The beds and couches in the private rooms are made of top-quality materials.

During that "confiscation", twenty beds and twenty couches were successfully seized, and the number of tables, chairs, benches and those in the hall was too numerous to count.

There are just not enough vegetables in the kitchen, probably for the sake of freshness. The vegetables are only enough for about two days.

Fortunately, there are a lot of non-perishable items such as rice and flour stored.

After this scrape, there were at least five or six hundred kilograms of rice, and even more flour, so there were more than a thousand kilograms in total.

These things, all mixed up and crowded together, filled up her 20 storage baskets.

However, on this trip, in addition to things, she also received many people.

The items were easy to deal with, so she could just leave them behind. The Han family father and son were not good people anyway, so she would just rob the rich to help the poor.

People are not easy to deal with, especially the thugs and killers.

There may be hidden dangers if they are released, but if they are left alone, they will suffocate to death in three hours.

This seems like a bit of a waste.

After all, they are all skilled and physically strong. Besides, some of them may have been forced to take this path.

It would be a bit arbitrary to make such a one-size-fits-all approach.

After much deliberation, Wen Shu finally decided to move to the Mountain and Sea Realm first, and stay together with Wang Dutou and the others to do some odd jobs first.

If we want to form a guard team later, we can see their performance and include them if they are suitable.

However, the waiters, cooks and farmhands who did odd jobs still had to be released and sent home.

They all have families and it would be bad to separate them from their families.

As he was thinking, the carriage had already driven out of the city and soon arrived at the place where he and Qin Jingyang and the others had parted.

Judging from the wheel tracks, it should have gone far away.
When they were sending Qin Jingyang and the others here and were about to say goodbye, a group of people suddenly appeared from the side and rushed towards them to kill them.

Although the other party was dressed like bandits, it was less than twenty miles away from the city. Which bandit would dare to rob here openly?

The Han family doesn't seem to be a good family.

Therefore, even if they were real bandits, they were bandits who had colluded with the Han family from the beginning.

Fortunately, she had prepared for the worst and transferred her father to the Mountain and Sea Realm in advance. Otherwise, if she had sent him out of the city as originally planned, he would have definitely run into the assassins from the Han family who were lying in ambush here.

But why did the Han family want to kill Qin Jingyang and others?

Even if Han Bangli set up a secret room and abducted women and it was known to a few people, they would not kill anyone.

After all, with Mrs. Han's methods, even if this matter were heard by the emperor, at most she would be reported to the censor and charged with the crime of not educating her children properly.

At most, Prefect Han will be sentenced to a two-year salary fine, and nothing serious will happen.

So, why do you want to kill?

Could it be that they saw something else that they shouldn't have seen, such as the salt? As early as when Xiang Wu was snooping, Wen Shu discovered that there were a lot of cargo ships and goods under the secret room of the Yingbin Building. At first, he thought they were ordinary goods such as rice and flour, but when he searched later and got closer, he found that they were salt.

There were hundreds of bags, which was far too much for a restaurant to consume.

Moreover, if it was official salt, it would never be hidden in such a "dark and private" place!
So, it’s private salt!
The Han family was selling illegal salt.

Wen Shu was shocked at first when she came to this conclusion, but in less than two seconds, she came to her senses and put all the things into the storage basket with an expressionless face.

No matter what kind of salt it is, as long as it is edible, leaving it where it is will only benefit the Han father and son.

As for reporting it to the government?
It's so funny. She is neither an imperial envoy nor a court official.

I am a person of low status and my words have little influence. Who would believe me if I told others about it? I might end up getting into trouble.

Besides, she didn't want to get into trouble.

After driving for a while and seeing that there was no one around, Wen Shu parked the car in a forest and released the waiters, cooks, and handymen.

They were still dizzy when they came out, and Wen Shu was not in a hurry to detoxify them.

Only after Old Man Wen was released and sat in the carriage did Wen Shu slowly let them smell the Golden Lotus Liquid twice.

"drive!"

As the carriage drove away, Father Wen asked worriedly, "If we just leave like this, will those people wake up?"

"Don't worry. Let them smell the antidote and they will wake up in about an incense stick's time." Wen Shu said confidently.

By the way, she couldn't control the dosage of Purple Lotus Liquid accurately.

But she has already mastered when the Golden Lotus Liquid will take effect and how much poison it can detoxify.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, the people on the ground slowly woke up.

They were all shocked to see themselves lying in the woods.

"I was working in the building, why are you here?"

As soon as the words were spoken, they realized that they were not alone, and everyone in the kitchen was in the woods.

"Are we dreaming?" Several people pinched their legs hard.

After realizing it was not a dream, they looked at each other. They really "woke up from a sleep" and ran out of the city.

Finally decided, "Forget it, let's go back to the city first."

Just when we were about to enter the city, we heard a lot of people passing by who were leaving the city discussing something heatedly. I went up to ask them and found out that something had happened in the Reception Building!
"I saw a ghost in broad daylight. All the people and things disappeared. The prefect was paralyzed with fear."

"Frightened and paralyzed?" several people questioned.

"Yes, it's the first time I've heard of such a strange thing in my life. Anyone who sees it will be scared to death."

At this time, a few people passed by and were discussing, "Tell me, where did those people go? Did they make an appointment and run away on their own?"

"No way. If people can run away, can those things like tables and chairs also grow legs and run away? I think this is just a weird thing."

After listening to the discussions of passers-by, several people looked horrified.

All the people and things in the reception building disappeared.
When night fell, several people quietly returned home.

Because the incident was too bizarre and they were the only ones who "survived", they had no idea where the tables, chairs and benches had gone.

After much deliberation, the families finally decided to leave Haozhou early tomorrow morning.

I was really afraid of being caught and not being able to explain.

However, that’s all in the past.
Wen Shu was driving the car over there, and they went about ten miles. When they passed Yicha Liao, Qin Jingyang suddenly jumped out again.

"Why are you here? Didn't you go home?!!" Wen Shu pulled the carriage hard.
