Chapter 108 Massacre of horse thieves
Shen Ru didn't know about this at first, until Chen Qing had someone call her out.

"What, the horse thief killed the people at the last inn?"

"Yes, Shen Ru, do you know what it will bring to you if this matter is leaked?"

Chen Qing said calmly.

"Didn't I say that if I am really accused, I will bear the responsibility alone."

Shen Ru said calmly, "Besides, it's not me who is the murderer."

Chen Qing raised his eyes and looked at Shen Ru, then frowned and said, "Even if there is someone behind you, you don't have to be so confident!"

"I didn't even think about hiding this from anyone. The officials knew about it, and the prisoners also saw it. How could I hide it?"

Shen Ru asked back, "But I'm reasonable. If a woman doesn't resist, she will be bullied. As for the horse thieves killing people and setting fires in the end, that means the bitch will be punished by God, isn't it?"

Chen Qing was speechless for a while.

"I'm telling you this so that you can be prepared first. The horse thief has been escorted to the county guard prison, and then the officers will change their shifts."

Chen Qing then said: "I have been replaced by a government official from Suzhou. I hope you won't be offended."

"Mr. Chen, you are thinking too much. Whenever there is a shift change, every official will not think about why our family is riding in a carriage, right?"

Shen Ru didn't care much and said, "There are many things that you can't tell when you see through them."

Chen Qing was also speechless by Shen Ru's attitude, and then said quietly: "We are halfway through Suzhou. After Suzhou we will reach Shazhou, and then Liangzhou. I hope nothing will happen again."

Shen Ru heard the reminder from Chen Qing, she smiled and said: "I will not offend others unless they offend me. Mr. Chen, you understand!"

Chen Qing no longer wanted to say anything to Shen Ru, so he waved his hand and asked Shen Ru to go back.

The accident happened in the middle of the night.

Outside the inn, there were crowds of horse thieves, each holding a torch in their hands, shouting that they would burn the inn if they didn't let them go.

Yi Cheng hurriedly woke up Chen Qing, who had already been sent to the county guard's prison overnight!

"Master Chen, what do you think we should do?"

"Call the master, I'll go meet this group of horse thieves."

Chen Qing ordered in a deep voice.

"Call...who?"

"Official servants, and... Shen Ru!"

After Chen Qing finished speaking, he put on his robe and walked out.

"The prisoner has been transferred to the county jail. You are late."

Chen Qing saw that there were about thirteen or four people coming, but everyone was holding a torch in their hands. It was really difficult to set a fire.

"Impossible. What happened to my brother? Your officers who escorted the prisoners were too arrogant!"

Chen Qing sneered: "Isn't it just murder and arson? He told you everything you did at the last station. What are these extremely evil people waiting to do if they are not sent to the government to deal with them strictly?"

"And you guys, none of them have anything to do with it."

Chen Qing's words really shocked the horse thief leader.

"What a coward, you actually said that!"

The leader of the horse thieves said angrily, and then pointed a torch at Chen Qing.

"Now that you all know it, let me explain everything here. Brothers, set fire!"

As he spoke, the bandit leader threw the torch at Chen Qing.

Chen Qing dodged and the torch hit the door panel and fell off, but it also lit something on fire.

Moreover, one torch after another was thrown towards the inn, forcing Chen Qing to retreat behind the door.

"Head, what should I do?"

The officer who arrived immediately asked anxiously when he saw the fire outside.

"Get water, hurry up and get water to put out the fire!"

Chen Qing shouted.

Shen Ru came late and was shocked when she saw the smoke outside.

"Master Chen, what's going on?" "The horse thief wants to kill people and silence them, so he sets fire outside."

"Head, smell it, it smells like alcohol. Damn it, these people are using alcohol to fuel their fire!"

When Shen Ru heard this, she wanted to open the door, but was stopped by Chen Qing.

"What did you do? As soon as the door opened, fire came in!"

"How can I stop them if I don't go out?"

Shen Ru asked rhetorically.

"You go to the back door."

Chen Qing shouted: "Others, get water, no matter how big the fire is, water must be poured out!"

Shen Ru didn't argue and immediately turned to the back door of the kitchen.

As soon as Shen Ru went out, she was confronted by two horse thieves, as if they were preparing to block the back door.

"There is actually a woman, look, there is a woman!"

The horse thief also discovered Shen Ru and immediately screamed excitedly.

What greeted him was Shen Ru's flying knife. With a swish, the flying knife directly grazed his face and cut off half of his ear.

"Ah!" The man yelled in pain, his eyes suddenly revealed a fierce look, and he slashed at Shen Ru with the knife.

She didn't need to show any mercy to the horse thieves who committed murder and arson.

The two horse thieves attacked Shen Ru at the same time, but Shen Ru was not afraid at all, and used the method of using force to strike at each other with their swords.

The flying knife in her hand shuttled between the two horse thieves at an extremely fast speed. After a quick move, the two men's necks were slashed by Shen Ru.

Seeing that the two of them were unable to resist, Shen Ru immediately rushed to the front.

The door, windows, and under the eaves of the inn were all on fire, and the horse thieves were even more proud, saying harsh words about murder and arson in the firelight.

Shen Ru's sudden appearance also surprised several people.

"Where are Zhao Laosan and Yan Si?"

The horse thief leader felt something was wrong, so he sent two people to block the back door. Why would anyone come out?

"died!"

Shen Ru said coldly, "You can go meet them right away!"

"What a strong tone, brothers, come on, she belongs to whoever captures her!"

Before the horse thief leader could finish speaking, Shen Ru had already attacked.

Inside the inn, Chen Qing asked people to pour water on the doors and windows, and then also asked a team of officials to go to the back door.

There were 12 horse thieves fighting against Shen Ru, and Shen Ru was unable to capture all of them.

During the stalemate, the official arrived.

Facing Shen Ru, who already had more than a dozen official servants, the horse thief leader saw that he was going to suffer, so he prepared to mount his horse and run away.

Shen Ru's sharp eyes saw the man mounting his horse, holding a knife that had been knocked down from the horse thief with his toes, and kicked it towards the leader of the horse thief.

The leader of the horse thief was stabbed in the shoulder by a flying knife and fell from his horse.

When the officer saw this, he immediately put the knife on his neck.

After a great battle, four horse thieves escaped, but the rest were either dead or injured. The leader of the horse thieves was also captured, and Shen Ru was satisfied with this.

"Boom!" The door of the inn fell down, but it also put out the fire on the door!

Chen Qing took the lead and poured water on other fires and quickly put out the fires.

Facing the door frame and window frame that had been burned by the fire, Yi Cheng felt like crying.

"You... oh, you really brought trouble to the inn!"

Yi Cheng couldn't help but point at Chen Qing too much, but the way the post station looked like made him heartbroken!
"How do these people deal with it?"

Shen Ru asked, pointing to the still alive horse thief.

"Tie him up, I'll go to the city overnight and report this to the county guard!"

Chen Qing touched the sweat on his forehead. This dangerous night was all thanks to Shen Ru!
