Chapter 58 She loves scholars
The next morning, when Chen Qing and others got up, it was already bright.

Seeing the color of the sky, Chen Qing was shocked and immediately ran to see Xiao Wujin.

He only saw the open door and the mess on the ground. He couldn't help but fell to the ground. It was over, the governor of Liangzhou was gone!
"Master Chen, you...what is going on?"

Yi Cheng couldn't help being surprised when he saw Chen Qing falling to the ground.

"Xiao... Where is Mr. Xiao?"

"Oh, Mr. Xiao has already sorted things out with the prisoners. Are you waiting for your word to set off?"

Chen Qing was stunned again, pointed at the mess in the house and said, "Then this house..."

"Hey, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. Last night, everyone at the station was controlled by the traitors. I have no other choice, so..."

Yi Cheng said guiltily, "Fortunately, Mr. Chen made arrangements and sent experts to protect Mr. Xiao."

Chen Qing was confused, master?What master?
"Sir, the prisoners have said it's time to leave. Shall we get on the road?"

Chen Qing's men came over to call for help.

Chen Qing walked out with his men before he could ask any more questions.

"Did you sleep particularly peacefully last night?"

"Yeah, I've never felt so stable. Are you the same, Tou?"

"Needless to say, all the officials got up late, they are really stupid!"

Chen Qing said angrily, this time it was a big shame, all the escorting officers and servants were poisoned, but none of the prisoners who only ate steamed buns were drugged down.

Chen Qing was even more heartbroken when he saw the neatly organized exile team outside. He didn't even hesitate to ask officials to escort him. Did they take the initiative to go on their way?

"Master Chen, hurry up, everyone is here and waiting for you!"

Shen Ru popped out of the carriage, waved his hand and shouted.

Chen Qing felt even more unhappy and embarrassed. This greatly reduced the prestige of their official positions!
"Go, set off!"

Chen Qing shouted, and the team slowly started to move.

There was still a very reserved atmosphere in the carriage.

As for the daughter who came back in the middle of the night last night, when they asked, they only said that she was a protector. When they continued to ask, the daughter refused to say more.

Facing this court official who was being protected by his daughter, Shen Yan felt panicked but could not speak.

"Oh, I just can't hide things!"

Aunt Lian endured it for a long time and couldn't bear it anymore.

"Sir, did we Aru go to protect you last night?"

"good."

Speaking of this matter, Xiao Wujin also felt a little nervous, especially when facing Shen Ru's elders.

"Then, my lord, have your troubles been solved? How long are you going to hide here with us?"

Aunt Lian said directly that she felt sorry for Shen Ru and wanted to protect such a big man.

"Yes, Mr. Xiao, what are your plans?"

Shen Ru couldn't help but ask, "I wonder if the assassins from that country will come to assassinate you. The most important thing is, when will your subordinates join you?"

Xiao Wujin raised his eyes and looked at Shen Ru, and said calmly: "After Luneng gets rid of the killer, he will come to meet me with the escort!"

"That's good. After all, we still have more than a month to go to Liangzhou. Master Xiao can't stay among the exiles."

Shen Ru said directly that it was a bit annoying for her to protect him every night.

When taking a rest halfway, Chen Qing came to see Shen Ru.

"What happened last night?"

"Master Chen, there are killers from other countries ambushing you in that inn. Fortunately, you didn't notice it!"

Shen Ru said it deliberately to be extremely serious. "Why do you know?"

Chen Qing asked in confusion, didn't we enter the inn together?

"Who said I knew? I knew I would definitely inform Mr. Chen!"

Shen Ru said nonsense seriously: "Master Chen and all the officials, there are more than a hundred people, and there are only three killers from the country. If you know, why do you need me to take action!"

"Then why are you by Mr. Xiao's side at night?"

Shen Ruxiao was very secretive, humming on purpose, and then whispered: "Master Chen, you understand some things!"

What does he know?
"Shen Ru, what are you talking about?"

Xiao Wujin stepped out of the carriage and happened to hear Shen Ru's ambiguous words.

"What are you talking about? Of course, last night when we were having a long conversation by candlelight, the thief broke into the door. I was one against three. Am I wrong?"

Shen Ru said loudly immediately.

Xiao Wujin was stunned, yes, that was indeed the case.

"Not bad." He felt that Shen Ru's tone before was still a bit strange, but now he still nodded and admitted.

Night talk by candlelight?Why do a prisoner and a governor have to talk by candlelight at night?

Chen Qing was concerned about this point, but in front of Xiao Wujin, he did not question it.

Xiao Wujin looked at the long queue of exiles behind him. These people will all be Liangzhou's labor force in the future!
As he walked slowly and watched, Xiao Wujin had countless resettlement plans in his mind.

"Are you the man in Shen Ru's carriage?"

Suddenly, an unfriendly man's voice sounded.

Xiao Wujin looked over and saw a lean face.

"I am Shen Ru's cousin, Shen Ming, the eldest son of the third room of the Shen family."

Shen Ming revealed his identity.

"I don't know what your relationship is with Shen Ru, but do you know who Shen Ru's late husband was?"

What does this have to do with him?
Xiao Wujin raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

"Shen Ru has a sinister mind. Her late husband was a top talent and could have escaped the crime of exile."

Shen Ming lowered his voice and said, "But the people in his eldest house refused to write a letter of divorce. The tired scholar was not only exiled, but also beaten severely. In the end, Shen Ru killed him!"

"Look at the three brothers of our Shen family. The eldest brother attacked the title, but the entire Shen family was imprisoned. They were still enjoying themselves. Do you know why the officials treated them so favorably? That's also because Shen Ru, huh, she didn't show up at night I know which room to stay in."

Xiao Wujin frowned tightly. Shen Ru, a cousin, actually slandered her behind her back like this?

"Oh!"

Xiao Wujin just answered casually and was about to walk away.

"Don't be fooled by the current comfort of the Shen family. Shen Ru is a widow who doesn't follow the rules of women. Brother, I see that you are handsome, but don't be fooled by Shen Ru. His family already has a son-in-law. I want you to do the second one!"

Xiao Wujin's face suddenly darkened, and he immediately scolded: "Shut up, you're talking dirty words, don't talk nonsense!"

"Why, you are also a scholar. It seems that Shen Ru likes scholars. Brother, listen to me, don't be confused by Shen Ru!"

Xiao Wujin walked away immediately, scorning Shen Ming's words. How could he be a son-in-law if he was the governor of a state?

Shen Ru was just finishing talking to Chen Qing when she saw Xiao Wujin getting into the carriage with a face as dark as the bottom of a pot, and she was puzzled.

"Master Chen, there are some things that you should understand even if I don't tell you."

Leaving ambiguous words behind, Shen Ru also got on the carriage.

Chen Qing glanced at the carriage thoughtfully. The Shen family had such a strong backer, no wonder they didn't run on the road and looked like they couldn't wait to go to Liangzhou.
