Chapter 102 Stay at the inn and give money!

Entering the room, Shen Ru breathed a deep sigh of relief. How could she be frightened by the corpses of the two killers? It was Chen Qing's ruthless appearance that made her feel a little panicked.

Was Chen Qing trying to save Pei Chongguang? Obviously not, he just didn't want to be implicated in the Pei family's revenge in the future.

"Aru, what's going on outside? Have all the killers been eliminated?"

When Shen Yan saw Shen Ru, he stepped forward worriedly.

"Dad, I'll take action, of course it will be solved. After a fight, I'm already hot. Where's the water? I'll drink some water."

Shen Ru pretended to be lighthearted and said.

"Here, take it, be careful not to burn it."

Mother Shen immediately put the kettle on the ground.

Shen Ru sat down next to her family. She was a little silent when she heard their family's concerned questions.

This time there are two, and if the news of the failure is spread back, I am afraid that a second wave of killers will arrive soon.

At present, Chen Qing is the only one who knows that the superiors want Pei Zhongguang to die. So when we get to Suzhou City, what if all the short-term officials handed over there have this task?
But it’s wrong to think about it. The assassination by the imperial court shows that it is both responsible and established!
After all, it would be unjustifiable to blame the country's turmoil on a child. Most people would definitely not know about this.

"Sister, sister!"

Sister Shen Xuan's worried call interrupted Shen Ru's reverie.

"Sister, you are in a daze, is there something important?"

"What are you thinking about so much, little girl? Just go to bed after eating. We have to go on the road tomorrow!"

Shen Ru touched her sister's head and said to her family.

"Aru, if there is anything you can't solve yourself, you must tell your parents."

Mother Shen said with concern: "Even if we can't help you, we can still listen to you."

"It's really okay, everyone should rest first!"

The official also removed the lantern at the door. Where the prisoner was, he could only see something by the light above his head.

Shen Ru simply stopped thinking about it. As long as he retained his strength, he was not afraid of anything.

The next morning, the officials urged the prisoners on their way.

Shen Ru left the house and saw no trace of fighting in the open space outside.Those two killer corpses were probably destroyed and no traces of them were left!
Seeing Pei Chongguang helping the old lady get into Cui Ti's carriage, Shen Ru's eyes darkened. This child is quite sensible. How could the dog emperor be so capable?
Seeing the Pei family again, Shen Ru opened her mouth to call someone, but then closed it again.

Forget it, ignorant people are the happiest. If the Pei family knew that the killer was coming for Pei Chongguang, there would be nothing they could do. It would only increase their sorrow.

"Shen Ru, just rely on your skills to kill more people!"

Cui Ti walked past Shen Ru and whispered, "Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"It's inexplicable!" Shen Ru didn't like Cui Ti, so she immediately retorted: "Next time the knife is across your neck, I hope you won't ask me to help!"

"You..." Cui Ti had never seen Shen Ru speak so rudely.

"You are not allowed to talk about our sister. Our sister is a helper, unlike you, who has nothing but money!"

Shen Nian's small body put her hands on her hips and yelled angrily.

"Foolish people have too much money!" Shen Xuan also added.

"You..." This was the first time Cui Ti was pointed at and scolded by two children. Her eyes turned red with anger, and she walked away quickly and got into her carriage!

"What do you think she is thinking? She always comes to quarrel with us Aru."

Aunt Lian looked like she couldn't understand.

"It's free!" Mother Shen said politely, "I don't have such a beautiful face for nothing."

After the exile team was assembled, the official ordered them to set off on the road.

While walking, Chen Qing asked people passing by on the official road. "Inn, there is only one inn in Suzhou within a hundred miles."

"Baili, this is against the rules!"

"Ha, it's a rule. It's a rule for the governor of Suzhou. The officer is escorting the prisoners, tsk, tsk, so many people, it's such a waste!"

Chen Qing frowned, waste, waste of what?
"This old man, you said it was a waste..."

"Food, when there are so many people, we have to eat food. These criminals are all sinners. Isn't it just a waste of food? I think everyone will suffer in life!"

The old man said and drove away with the bullock cart, leaving behind a confused Chen Qing.

Suzhou is also poor, but it’s not like that!
"Everyone, work harder and rush to the inn together!"

After returning to the team, Chen Qing warned his subordinates, and then a series of voices came to the back.

"In such a hurry, Chen Qing really wants to go to Liangzhou immediately. He has been passing by day by day, and it is already the twelfth lunar month!"

"I didn't remember it, but I guess it's about the same. After these officials arrive in Liangzhou, I'm afraid they will have to celebrate the New Year in Liangzhou."

Shen's mother said, Xu didn't suffer much, so she didn't have much ill will towards the escort officer, but she felt that the escort was also hard work.

"Auntie, these officials are all paid salaries, and they have taken advantage of many people along the way. This is what they should do."

Shen Ping said that she had been whipped by an official.

"Ping'er." Qian called Shen Ping timidly, fearing that what Shen Ping said would make Shen's mother unhappy.

"You are right. Officials are also human beings, and they are still people who suppress prisoners. They receive the salary from the court, so they must fulfill their obligations."

Shen Ru said quietly: "Chen Qing took a lot of my money and what Cui Ti gave me. This time when he returns to Beijing, he can buy a courtyard in the middle of the capital!"

Both Shen Ping and Qian's eyes widened, there were so many!

"But looking at what we're enjoying now, it's money well spent."

Shen Ru accepted this very calmly, "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

In order to reach the inn, there was no rest on the way.

Finally, when the sky darkened, the escort officer saw the inn.

"Pay?"

The official who went to report the incident was shocked when he heard what the postman said.

"Yes, you are escorting so many prisoners. In addition to the food and accommodation provided by the officials, the prisoners also have to be paid."

The station said confidently: "This is our rule in Suzhou!"

The official went back to Chen Qing, and Chen Qing was also angry. So, if he doesn't pay, won't the fugitive be imprisoned?
"Here, when you get to the human realm, follow human rules."

Chen Qing said, "Go and talk to Miss Cui."

"Say it to Miss Shen too!"

Chen Qing added, of course the money should be paid by those with money.

After Cui Ti heard what the official said, she readily took out 50 taels of silver.

"Is that enough?"

"Enough, enough, Miss Cui is really grand."

The official happily took the money and went to Shen Ru's side and said the same thing.

"I want five guest rooms here, which only cost about ten taels of silver. Is it enough if I add another ten taels?"

Shen Ru is not stupid. Chen Qing has taken so much money from her, so he must give something out!
Chen Qing finally negotiated with the postman with 70 taels of silver, but the problem was solved with only 50 taels, and the postman welcomed him happily.

The Northwest is very poor, and ordinary people don't even have two taels of silver a year. Chen Qing took out 50 taels and gave them this inn to use as they pleased!
