Was your home ransacked on your wedding day?I emptied the Marquis's house and tore my son-in-la

Chapter 107: The Horse Thief Who Killed and Set Fire
Towards evening, the official who went to explore the road came back and reported that although there was no inn ahead, there was a shabby house to stay in if you walked a few miles down the trail.

"A broken house, how can there be a broken house and no one is there?"

Chen Qing asked in confusion.

"Don't mention it, sir. The village in front is almost empty. It's not dark yet. I see no one is there. The houses are full of shabby things and there are spider webs. No one has set foot in them for a long time. Got it!"

"Since no one lives there, it doesn't count as a nagging citizen, so just go there and spend the night!"

Chen Qing said decisively, and also commanded the large troops to follow the officers who were exploring the road.

The road into the village was also covered with stones and weeds. As the sky turned dark, the exiled troops also completely entered the village.

The dilapidated houses and silent villages are a bit desolate and strange.

In a larger house, the officials settled the prisoners and began to set up pots to cook food.

Shen Ru originally wanted to stay with his family, but Cui Ti came over.

And with that look, he obviously wanted to drag her outside to talk.

"Tell me, why are you looking for me?" Shen Ru asked directly after following Cui Ti outside.

"Have you been waiting for this day for a long time?"

Cui Ti asked, "Otherwise, how could you carry wild ginseng with you?"

Shen Ru's face is like a question mark. Does Cui Ti's words deserve a beating?
"Are you saying again that I wish something would happen to the old lady of the Pei family?"

Shen Ru asked back, "Cui Ti, I really don't know how you can take charge of a merchant with such a brain."

"Isn't it? It just so happens that you are carrying ginseng slices with you. Shen Ru, I don't know what your plans are for the Pei family, but as long as I'm here, I won't let you succeed."

Cui Ti looked on guard and warned.

"Cui Ti, you must have really eaten enough to hold on. I prepared the wild ginseng to replenish the health of my family. The exile road is hard, what's the matter, is this wrong?"

"As for the old lady vomiting blood, won't you be angry?"

"You!" Cui Ti was poked in a painful spot, her face turned red.

"If you want to be a good person and a holy mother, no one can stop you, but if you treat me as an imaginary enemy, that is your own business."

Shen Ru said: "To be honest, you have repeatedly provoked me and I wanted to kill you. Did anyone stop you?"

Cui Ti looked shocked and immediately took a step back subconsciously.

"you dare!"

"It's not a question of whether I dare or not. It's not necessary."

Shen Ru said: "You and I are not in conflict with each other. We have always been at peace with each other. If you insist on causing trouble for me, do you think you are not annoying enough?"

Cui Ti's eyes widened, with a look of shock and difficulty accepting it.

Even though she was not welcomed by her mistress and eldest sister at home, her mother told her that she was no worse than her eldest sister.

Moreover, the Cui family also counted on her mother to supplement the family income, and her father cared for her very much, but in Shen Ru's words, she turned out to be so miserable.

"In the past, when your noisy and ignorant maid was around, you seemed a bit calm; now it seems that the kind of maid is suitable for the kind of master."

Shen Ru was still polite and said: "Cui Ti, you can do the math for yourself. I have saved you several times and I didn't ask for anything from you. Is this how you treat your savior?"

Cui Ti looked a little embarrassed when she heard Shen Ru talk about rescuing her.

"I...you...I'm just afraid that you will be harmful to the Pei family."

"How noble. I am helping the Pei family because I was entrusted by others and it has nothing to do with you."

Shen Ru really wanted to scold Cui Ti and wake her up. From now on, everyone should do their own thing, right?
"Who, who?"

Cui Ti asked.

Shen Ru sneered.

"You are so meddling!" "When we get to Liangzhou, are we still in contact with each other? Cui Ti, it has nothing to do with you to show your sincerity to the Pei family; it has nothing to do with you that I help the Pei family. .”

"Or do you think I'm doing better than you?"

"Impossible, don't be so self-righteous."

Cui Ti categorically denied that she couldn't explain why she always felt that Shen Ru was a threat to her.

"You can be on the road of exile without worrying about food and drink, Shen Ru, what is so special about you?"

"Well... I won't tell you!"

Shen Ru felt that Cui Ti had gone too far.

"If there is nothing else, you should go back. If someone is following you in vain..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Cui Ti's voice immediately rose, "Shen Ru, you...you...don't go too far!"

"Tch, you are so cowardly and dare to call me out."

Shen Ru said with great disdain, "Let's go back, don't waste my time with my family."

Cui Ti was thinking about the inn. Without Fang Jin, she felt a little panicked.

Following Shen Ru as she walked back, she immediately went to the Pei family when she saw the official.

Shen Ru greeted the officials and went to his family.

Nothing happened all night. The next morning, the large army continued to move forward, but just after leaving the village, they encountered a group of horse thieves.

Officials are not afraid of horse thieves.

The large number of people in the exile team made the horse thieves fearful. As soon as they got into contact with the official, they showed their defeat.

This time there was no need for Shen Ru to take action. The official also caught a horse thief, tied his hands, and led them forward together.

"You'd better let me go, otherwise, my brother will harass you so much that you won't be able to reach Liangzhou."

Horse thieves are very rampant.

"Why, you still want to go to the inn? Hehe, do you know what's going on at the last inn?"

When Chen Qing heard this, his heart sank and he immediately shouted:

"You mentioned the last inn, why, you guys have been there."

"That's right, I told you, the last inn is gone, five grown men were tied up, and they happened to meet some of our brothers, haha, they were all set on fire!"

"Are you afraid? If you don't let me go, we brothers will fight all the way up and pick out all the stations we pass to see where you can go!"

Chen Qing's heart sank. In other words, the post chief and the post soldiers from the previous post station were all dead!
At that moment, Chen Qing's expression became fierce, and he threw the whip at the horse thief unceremoniously.

"You are a brave man who actually killed the staff at the inn. I will definitely arrest you and bring you to justice!"

Chen Qing shouted, and the other officials immediately took action against the horse thief.

"Keep your breath!"

Chen Qing added.

The inn would be gone if it was gone, but he didn't want the horse thief to spread the news that the five people were tied up.

The official who accompanied Chen Qing to escort the prisoners immediately understood what Chen Qing meant.

Soon, the prisoner who originally wanted to threaten the official was beaten by the official and could only breathe a few breaths.

If you can't walk anymore, then lock the prison car!
After arriving at the inn, Chen Qing immediately told Yi Cheng about the crime committed by the horse thieves gang.

The matter was so serious that the post immediately sent someone to report to the county guard and sent the person to prison overnight.
