reborn princess

Chapter 525 Sky-high Ransom
Shen Weilan raised her hand to hold his shoulder to prevent him from losing his temper. There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but that smile looked cold and refreshing.

She took a deep breath and said loudly: "Okay, then I would like to know how many people here are in favor of letting us leave here. Anyone who agrees, please stand here!"

She pointed to the place to her left.

There was a huh, and most of the villagers present stood over, only a few people who had benefited from Shen Weilan did not stand over. These people all worked in Shen Weilan's shop, just like Cui Niang and Huo Niang These people.

"Very good!" Shen Weilan pursed her lips, smiled lightly, and suddenly pulled out a knife from behind her. She moved in front of Li Zheng, raised the knife horizontally, and a knife appeared on Li Zheng's neck. Blood comes.

Before everyone could see her movements clearly, she cut Lizheng's head in half with another slash.

It wasn't until the two corpses fell that the people realized that she had actually killed Lizheng and Mrs. Lizheng, and they all yelled in panic.

"Murder—"

"Quickly report to the police—"

"Help me—"

"I'll kill anyone who yells again!" Shen Weilan shouted in a low voice with her dantian depressed.

The people were finally frightened by her, and no one dared to shout anymore.

Shen Weilan looked over one by one. At this time, she had not rested well because she had been driving for several days, her eyes were as red as Shura from hell.

"Listen, whoever of you likes to leave Chenjiazhuang, just leave. I will never stop you, but don't try to drive me away. This is my home, and I will never leave!" Her voice was cold and full of extremes. The strong killing intent invisibly gave these people a strong sense of shock. "Anyone who wants to report to the official can do so. Since I dare to kill them, I am not afraid of you reporting to the official! But I have to tell you one thing, whoever reports to the official, I will kill the whole family!"

With her sonorous and forceful voice, these villagers were finally frightened by her, and no one dared to speak out easily.

"You fools!" Li Ying pointed at the villagers. "What does the horse thief have to do with Ms. Shen? One or two came to make trouble after listening to Li Zheng and Mrs. Li Zheng's instigation. What a bunch of fools! How can Miss Shen feel sorry for you? Wang Sanfu, you begged me to let your family Sannier also went to work in the pastry shop opened by Miss Shen, why did she turn her face and deny anyone now?"

Wang Sanfu who was named by Li Ying didn't know whether it was because of shame or fear, he lowered his head and dared not speak.

Shen Weilan said coldly: "If there is nothing wrong, you can go away, set the fire on fire, and mess around here!"

The villagers didn't know if this little aunt would kill others when she became angry, so they all left Shen Weilan's house in a dawdly manner.

Lizheng's son had been terrified a long time ago. His parents had been killed, so he didn't dare to speak, for fear of offending Shen Weilan and killing himself later, he didn't care about his parents' corpses. Desperately, he followed the villagers and ran out.

After solving these troublesome villagers, Shen Weilan took another deep breath, turned her face to look at Xuan Chen, "Let's find a way to build a shack, let's live here first."

"The shack is not needed." Xuan Chen said. "I saw it just now. Only the two yards in front caught fire. The house was built with fire protection in mind. The east and west yards are all fine."

Shen Weilan nodded, "It's good to have a place to rest, we have been driving for several days, we need to rest to recover our strength!"

Xuan Chen said: "There is only one practice room. There are too many people and it is inconvenient. Only the porter in my other courtyard burned down. The other courtyards are all fine. Let's move to my other courtyard to live in."

As he said that, he turned his face to look at Li Ying, "Aunt Ying, I leave everything in the shop to you, please close the shop first, and reopen the shop after it is refurbished."

Li Ying nodded, "Master, don't worry, I will take care of it."

Shen Weilan thought for a while, and then said: "Those who are close to us, if their house is burned down and there is no place to live for a while, let them all move to Xuan's other courtyard."

Li Ying didn't nod immediately this time, but looked at Xuan Chen, asking for Xuan Chen's opinion.After all, the identity of the Xuan family is different from that of Shen Weilan. Shen Weilan is a commoner, while Xuan Chen's father is a dignified county prince.

Xuan Chen said with a smile: "Just as Lan'er said, anyway, my yard is very big, you can arrange it as you like!"

At this moment, a fine horse galloped over, and everyone followed the prestige, and it turned out that Chen Fugui had returned, and with a shocked expression on his face, he came to the crowd, jumped off the horse, and hurriedly asked: "What's going on? These people are...horse thieves?"

Li Ying rushed over, grabbed Chen Fugui's hand and said, "Fugui, are you all right, is there a fire in the academy? Are you injured?"

Chen Fugui said: "There is no fire in the academy, but the master of the academy said that the city is in chaos these days, let's go home for now and go to the academy in five days."

Xuan Chen said: "I have something for you to do. Now go to the yamen to find General Baili, and ask him to send two hundred officers and soldiers to bring two fire engines and a large cart. The corpses of these horse thieves must be brought here. Accepted! And..." He took out a gold bar from his pocket and handed it to Chen Fugui. "I just took a look. Some villagers can still be saved. You go and invite a few more doctors to save those who can be saved. As for those who cannot be saved, buy a few coffins and collect their corpses."

"Okay!" Chen Fugui nodded immediately when he heard the words, took the gold bar, turned around and mounted his horse, and galloped towards the city again.

After dismissing Chen Fugui, Xuan Chen said to Li Ying: "Aunt Ying, we have been traveling for several days, and we are tired and hungry. Find a way to get us something to eat."

"Hey, good!" Li Ying agreed. "I'll go to a nearby inn to buy some ready-made ones for you."

She drove the carriage to help Xuan Chen and the others buy food.

Xuan Chen said: "There is one thing that I find particularly strange."

Shen Weilan asked, "What's the matter?"

"These horse thieves didn't rob our granary!" Xuan Chen said in a deep voice. "It seems that they only robbed jewels, but I think that for horse thieves, food that can fill their stomachs should be more attractive than jewels."

Shen Weilan narrowed her eyes and analyzed: "Then there are three possibilities. One is that these horse thieves are not from nearby, but come from afar. It is not easy to transport food. The second is that their purpose is not food, but pure If you want to rob people, you can rob gold, silver and jewels by the way. The third is that they saw the heavy casualties and were eager to escape, so they didn't have time to rob food."

Xuan Chen nodded, expressing his agreement with her speculation.

At this moment, Ouyang Liang suddenly came rushing from a distance, seeing the scene in front of him, he was also a little dazed, and muttered to himself: "How could this happen?"

Xuan Chen said: "You came at a good time, help me find if there is anyone on my side who was injured."

"Okay!" Without saying a word, Ouyang Liang started to rummage through the pile of dead bodies with him to find his own people.

It really made the two of them find two people who were seriously injured and still alive, one from Shen Luo and the other from Xuan Chen.

Both of them were seriously injured, one of them was stabbed more than a dozen times, but he managed to survive.

Another had an arm severed.

Xuan Chen immediately rushed into the scene of the fire, found some medicine for knife wounds from the pharmacy where the fire broke out, and asked Ouyang Liang to help him treat the wounds of the two, and wrote a prescription on the handkerchief with blood, and sent Ouyang Liang to go Grab medicine.

Xuan Chen and Shen Weilan removed a door panel, carried the two wounded into the other courtyard of Xuan's family, settled them, and sent Sun Xiaohua to boil water.

The two of them were really tired and hungry right now, but fortunately Li Ying came back quickly and bought some ready-made meat buns for them.

The two of them ate and drank enough, washed their faces again, and both fell on the big kang in the main room, and fell asleep after a while.

In the evening, Huo Niang, Cui Niang and others who worked with Li Ying in Shen Weilan's pastry shop all came back from the city. The entire family is homeless.

Because the granary in Shen Weilan's family was not robbed, everyone didn't have to worry about being hungry.

Xuan Chen asked Chen Fugui to borrow [-] officers and soldiers from Bailixiao. When those officers and soldiers came, they brought two fire engines according to his instructions. When they arrived, they helped put out the fire first, and then helped to restrain the dead bodies .

All this, Shen Weilan and Xuan Chen who were sleeping soundly didn't know at all, the two of them urgently needed sleep to recover their physical strength, and when their physical strength recovered, there were more important things to do.

The two of them fell into a deep sleep, and they didn't wake up at the same time until the next morning.

The moment Shen Weilan opened her eyes, she saw a pair of familiar eyes. At this moment, these eyes were full of tiredness, looking at her strangely.

Her face flushed instinctively, she sat up, looked out the window, the sky was slightly bright, it was the color of fish belly, it was already morning.

She put on her shoes and got off the ground, walked out of the house quietly, and went to the backyard. There was a water well in the backyard of Xuan's other courtyard. She took a bucket and threw it into the well. The bucket fell into the water, "plop" a sound.

The hand that was shaking the pulley was suddenly covered with a big hand, and the palm of this big hand had a thin callus, which was hard.

She smelled a familiar smell, the smell of him, she had been too familiar with it for a long time.

She let go of her hand and let him help bring up a bucket of water.

He carried the wooden bucket and went back to the house with her. There was a washbasin and washing utensils in the house.

The two of them took turns to wash, they were on the road these days, they didn't have time to take a bath, and each of them wiped their bodies with water. He helped her find a change of clothes, which belonged to his sister Xuan Yirou. Accidentally made a small cut, and when Xuan Yirou returned to the capital, he left it behind.

He also changed his clothes, and she combed his hair.
