Chapter 194 An unfilial son should be taught a lesson
After eating and drinking, we set off on the road again. We were exiled before, taking official positions and staying away from the people, but this time it was different!

Shen Ru told Xiao Wujin in advance, so he turned off the official road and entered the villages and towns still in Liangzhou.

Staying at an inn that night, Shen Ru generously asked for three upper rooms and ordered a table of dishes.

Xiao Wujin's face looked very comfortable, not unnatural at all. He had no money, so he didn't need to hold on to his face.

"Come on, come on, don't be polite. Only when you are full can you have the strength to go on the road."

Sitting at the square table, Shen Ru greeted Xiao Wujin and Luneng over the not-so-good food.

"Ha, if we follow Miss Shen, we will be blessed!"

Luneng said happily: "Sir, do you think so?"

"Change your title outside."

Xiao Wujin whispered.

"Oh, sir!"

Luneng immediately changed his mind and started using his chopsticks happily.

"But speaking of it, Miss Shen, these meals are still as delicious as your bowl of dumplings."

Xiao Wujin's hand holding the chopsticks was also stunned for a moment, and he said softly.

"At that time, you should add fine salt!"

Shen Ru nodded: "The wild vegetables themselves are fragrant. Chop the meat, add some wine to remove the fishy smell, and add salt to enhance the flavor. It will naturally taste delicious!"

"Weren't you very generous at that time, willing to pay even a tael of silver?"

A bowl of dumplings costing one tael of silver was all taken advantage of. Shen Ru looked at Xiao Wujin and Luneng with a teasing expression.

"My lord, you haven't eaten for a whole day at that time. Besides, your dumplings are really too fragrant."

Luneng said truthfully: "I just caught one, well, I still miss it now."

"You're so stingy. You're a big guy like Lu Guards. Why don't you give him one?"

Shen Ru couldn't help but look at Xiao Wujin and asked.

"No, Luneng tasted the poison for me."

Xiao Wujin looked as usual and said: "At that time, I was thinking that there must be something wrong with being so arrogant and lewd in exile."

"If you hadn't saved me later and I came to Liangzhou, I would have been the first to attack the Shen family."

"Oh, so, my Shen family has escaped disaster!"

Shen Ru joked that things are unpredictable, and Shen Ping always felt it was unfair, but she allowed her family to take root in Liangzhou with her own strength.

If Xiao Wujin hadn't been protected back then, if the Shen family had money, they would have been squeezed out by Xiao Wujin when they arrived in Liangzhou, right?
In other words, even if Shen Ping has money, she may not be able to keep it!
"This is called fate playing tricks on people. Our eldest... Master, how kind to Miss Shen you are now!"

"Uh-huh!" Xiao Wujin coughed lightly. Luneng was good at everything except his mouth.

Is Xiao Wujin good to her?
Shen Ru glanced at Xiao Wujin who was eating with his head down.

She saved his life and gave him a way to refine fine salt. She also bought coarse salt for him. If he treats himself badly, then there will be a problem!

Shen Ru thought for a moment, and then she felt at ease enjoying what Luneng said was Xiao Wujin's kindness to her.

Xiao Wujin was also secretly looking at Shen Ru from the corner of his eyes. Seeing Shen Ru's calm expression, he felt a little confused. Did she not care at all?
"Old man, why do you only have so little money today? Did you hide it?"

The noise interrupted Xiao Wujin's melancholy thoughts. He looked up and saw a young man on the other side of the shopkeeper talking harshly to the shopkeeper and his wife.

Just in time, a waiter came over, and Xiao Wujin stopped him.

"Boy, your shopkeeper is being bullied, why don't you help him?"

"Sir, you don't know something. He is the son of our shopkeeper. This is a family matter and we have nothing to do with it."

The waiter said helplessly.

"This son treats his parents like this and no one cares?" Shen Ruye asked with a frown, her fist ready to move again.

"Our young master, together with those gangsters in the town, if anyone helps us, they will be punished as soon as they leave the house."

The waiter whispered, "Hey, there's nothing we can do!"

Shen Ru has such a bad temper that he can't bear it. How can a martial arts student see such a scene of an unfilial son bullying his old parents?

"Shen Ru!" Suddenly, Xiao Wujin grabbed Shen Ru who was getting up.

"Xiao Er, are you serious about ruffians oppressing the people here?"

"No, business people have to pay protection fees every month. Beating people and stealing money is commonplace."

"Does the county government not care?"

Xiao Wujin asked in a deep voice. In his first year in Liangzhou, he focused on cracking down on these violent and murderous acts, and also let the local government in Liangzhou vigorously crack down on local gangsters. This has not even left the boundaries of Liangzhou!
"The government took care of it in the first few years, but gradually it started to revive again."

The waiter said and walked away.

"Master Xiao, let me ask you clearly, can I take action?"

Shen Ru saw that the tugging was still going on over there, and the bastard young boss was standing by the counter shaking his legs, waiting for the customers to pay!
Xiao Wujin's face was gloomy. In Liangzhou City, he was still intimidating, but the territory has actually become like this?
If Liangzhou wants to become rich, it needs more people.Whether a rich person like Shen Ru comes to Liangzhou to do business or open up wasteland, he can give the people work and make money; but if the local gangsters make trouble all day long and street gangs kill, how can they let the people do it? What about people coming to invest money?

At this moment, Xiao Wujin felt angry and really wanted to hold local officials accountable directly.

"Luneng, send a message back and ask the Liangzhou magistrate to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"Okay, my lord!"

Luneng responded in a deep voice, then got up and went to do something.

Shen Ru stepped forward, but did not take action. Instead, he called the shopkeeper to pay the bill, and then deliberately exposed the full money bag.

"This meal is only one tael of silver. I don't even have such a small amount on hand. Then... the shopkeeper, let's stay here tonight. Let's pay the bill together when we leave tomorrow!"

"Okay, sir."

The shopkeeper immediately responded and found his son staring at Shen Ru's money bag, so he urged Shen Ru to leave.

"Sir, it's getting late. After you have eaten, go back to the guest room and rest!"

"Thank you very much, shopkeeper!"

Shen Ru slowly put away the money bag.

It’s not that I didn’t see the look in his eyes that was glued to his money bag, but if I didn’t give him some bait, how could I get the fish to take the bait?
"Hey, where is Guard Lu?"

When Luneng was not seen when he came back, Shen Ru asked.

"I went to do something, why didn't you do anything?"

Xiao Wujin also asked curiously.

"Tell me, that bastard son, is he still staring at my back?"

Xiao Wujin raised his eyes and saw it.

"Yes, the way he looks at you is very special."

"I guess someone will come to rob me at night. Hey, I am a weak woman carrying a huge sum of money, so am I not a good target for robbery?"

Shen Ru whispered: "Have you eaten? Then go back to the house and rest!"

Xiao Wujin instantly understood what Shen Ru meant, nodded and stood up.

"Let's go!"

"Waiter, take us to the room. Is there hot water? Get me a basin of hot water."

Shen Ru shouted deliberately.
