After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Chapter 36 Leave no grass
The two shops of the Zhou family are very close to each other. When Yu Zizhen passed by, the early morning workers were already cleaning the shelves and floors.

Yu Zizhen did not go in immediately. She took out the steamed dumplings and red dates, white fungus, and lotus seed soup from the system warehouse, and stood on the roadside to have breakfast.

It wasn't until there were hawkers who got up early to set up stalls on the street that Yu Zizhen stepped into Zhou's grocery store.

She showed Zhou Fengnian's private seal and the deed of the shop to the shopkeeper, "I also ask shopkeeper Sun to help me call the people from the shop next door to come here."

Shopkeeper Sun didn't know Yu Zizhen, but she held Zhou Fengnian's private seal and the deed of the shop in her hands, so shopkeeper Sun could only obey her orders.

He invited Yu Zizhen to the back of the shop and asked the accountant to serve her first, and then went to the shop next door to help her find someone.

After hearing what happened, the shopkeeper of the shop next door followed him with everyone in his shop with a solemn expression.

When Yu Zizhen saw the person, he immediately took out the deed from the shop next door.

When the two shopkeepers saw it, they knew that Zhou Fengnian had entrusted both shops to Yu Zizhen, and they suddenly felt a little worried.

Before they could test Yu Zizhen's identity and ask about the Zhou family's situation, Yu Zizhen told them straight to the point: "The Zhou family's shop can't be saved. Soon someone from the county government will come to take it over. Mr. Zhou doesn't want you to be affected by it then." It's a burden, so let me fire you all in advance for him. As for the severance pay, it's 20 taels for the clerk and 50 taels for the shopkeeper and accountant, which should be enough for each of your family's expenses for two or three years."

Shopkeeper Sun and others had complicated expressions. They were concerned about the current situation of their former employer, they were also resentful of the county magistrate's abuse of power for personal gain, and they were also depressed that as little people, they could not change anything and could only let things go.

Yu Zizhen glanced at the shopkeeper and accountant of the grocery store, "Just take the money out of the grocery store's account. You can each take some of the goods in this store. There is only one. When you leave this door, you'd better take it with you immediately." Take your family members out for shelter. It would be best if you can move away, so as not to let the county magistrate take it out on you in the future."

Everyone looked ugly. Is this dog official crazy?Why would you catch someone and bite someone?

They didn't dare to curse directly, so all they could do was hold their stomachs full of sullenness, collect the money and leave.

The shopkeepers and accountants of the two shops couldn't help but ask Yu Zizhen about the current situation of the Zhou family when handing over the ledgers and keys.

Yu Zizhen didn't say anything about the Zhou family's father and son's escape from prison. She only said that everyone was still alive, but she couldn't say what would happen in the future.

She wasn't lying. After all, she really didn't know what would happen to the Zhou family in the future.

As soon as the people in the Zhou family's shop left, Yu Zizhen immediately went to the front and back to collect them.

Just like when she was at Zhou Zhai before, let alone the goods in the shop, she didn't even miss the rice, noodles, oil and salt stored in the kitchen. The main thing was not to leave an inch of grass behind.

On the other side, none of the "fugitives" who rushed out of the city early in the morning were embarrassed by the officers and soldiers guarding the city.

Because there was no "exit fee" for leaving the city, those officers and soldiers didn't even bother to make a show of checking. They just yawned and leaned against the city wall, following the flow of people who had gotten up early to leave the city.

Everyone kept their hearts in mind and mixed in with the team to leave the city. Yu Zizhen, who rescued them, took advantage of the fact that there were still few people on the street, changed his face, and smoothly slipped back to the inn with the help of the system.

As for the other three houses that she didn't have time to go to, those three were just wealthy families, and they lived far away from the inn where Yu Zizhen and the others were temporarily staying. Yu Zizhen could only wait another day to see if he could pick up the slack.

Yawning, she slipped back to her room. Yu Zizhen did not catch up on her sleep immediately. She canceled her disguise, changed her clothes and walked out of the room.

Madam Zhang, who had already gotten up, heard the commotion and immediately brought Yu Zizhen toiletries and warm water.

After Yu Zizhen simply washed up, he walked to the open space in the center of the yard and began to practice martial arts with Yu Heng and Yao Guang.Yu Zizhen, who successfully returned to his original identity, heard the faint noise coming from the front yard of the inn while having breakfast.

She casually named a guard to inquire, and the guard quickly turned around and told her that someone at the county government office had robbed all the prisoners during the night, and now the county magistrate was asking the government officials to search house to house.

Yu Zizhen's eyes widened and he looked surprised and shocked, "Is Baofeng County so dangerous? Do we still want to stay here?"

The guard said in his heart that no matter how noble his status is, the child will still be a child.He patiently said to Yu Zizhen: "Your Majesty, please rest assured and rest. We are guarding this inn, and those bad guys will definitely not dare to approach and seek death."

Yu Zizhen nodded, "Then I'll thank you for your trouble."

The guard did not answer her second question, but instead told her to relax and rest. In other words, Mr. Jiang was not prepared to change his itinerary.

In this case, she still has tonight available.

I thought so, but in the end Yu Zizhen didn't go out at night again.

The reason is also very simple. Yu Zizhen is reluctant to spend points to redeem the disguise skill.

During the day, the system told her that one of the two people who had a dispute with their family over the issue of whether to leave or not left finally chose to travel alone.

His family gave him some money and then concealed the fact that he had returned home after escaping from prison.

The other person who was stopped by his in-laws' family was even more miserable. Because he didn't agree to throw himself into the trap and go back to prison to suffer the consequences, he was almost tied up and sent back to prison by his own in-laws' family.

They were afraid of being implicated, so they wanted to stage a "just killing of relatives", but the man's parents were reluctant to let their son go back to prison.

You must know that this is a prison break. Even if he takes the initiative to go back after breaking out, the outcome waiting for him will definitely be "death".

The old couple couldn't bear to leave their son. When the two families started fighting over this matter, they decisively attacked the in-laws who wanted to tie up their son.

The man's father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law were all attacked from behind by his parents and knocked unconscious with porcelain bottles and stools they had conveniently touched.

The man's wife was so frightened that she subconsciously wanted to scream, but her husband covered her mouth.

Finally, the man convinced his wife, and the family hurriedly packed up some gold and silver and left before dawn.

As for the people in his in-law's family, they were all tied up in their own home with ropes.

According to the system, the man's parents were not heavy-handed. His in-laws had actually woken up before they left, but their hands and feet were tied and their mouths were blocked, so there was no way to stop them.

In addition, their family is that person's next-door neighbor. The four members of their family went to the in-laws' house next door, but did not return all night. The others waited until dawn and no one came back, so they naturally went to the next door to inquire about the situation.

After this inquiry, the four people tied up in the yard next door will naturally be freed.
