I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 296 Unknown

Once the two parties have reached an agreement, Shen Changsui will naturally step in to urge the case to be handled.

In fact, the government had already found out the reason, but because the real private salt dealer had not yet been caught, someone took the boy from the Cao family who accidentally took the salt bag outside to lure people, and had already set up several ambushes in secret.

Not long ago, a salt smuggler had committed a murder in the county below. The prefect didn't want Mr. Cheng to get to know and then criticize others, so he kept the family inside and wouldn't let them leave.

"Looking at it this way, we can't rush them any further." Shen Xiaoye looked a little worried after everyone left the yamen and got their horses back.

Shen Cungeng blurted out: "You made the promise too early.

Think about it, if this group of people were so easy to find, we wouldn’t have waited until now.

It is useless to urge him. Unless we mobilize the Guards to search for him."

Shen Xiaoye remained silent. Her token was indeed real, but if she used it to mobilize anyone, she would definitely be held accountable afterwards.

However, my uncle warned me that next time I see Guard Xia, I must return the token on my own initiative.

"Let's find a place to stay first, invite a few mark masters to have a meal, and settle the money." How could Shen Changsui not see that the mark masters wanted to leave.

But when they found an inn at his home, Master Xie Biao politely declined the offer of meal, took the silver and left.

However, unexpectedly, these people returned an hour later, and brought the ten-inch guy with them.

It turned out that Master Xue Biao was the person introduced by Shi Cun. They met him shortly after leaving the city. When he learned that they were looking for Shen Xiaoye and his friends, he immediately led them there.

Shi Cun's face was heavy, and he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water, "Your old man and your eldest brother were taken away by Captain Zhao.

I learned from Mr. Wu Qi, who was traveling with me, that the two families of men with whom the old man had partnered to run the escort agency were also arrested and brought to Beijing."

"Go back to Beijing." Shen Changsui took action immediately. He knew the reason behind this very well.

But Shen Xiaoye and the other two didn't know. They were so panicked that they forgot to pack up the gift boxes they brought with them: "Brother Shicun, why?"

Shi Cun said: “I don’t know much about it, but fortunately your family has not been dyeing or weaving cloth in the past two days, and Captain Zhao did not arrest you in a big way, and you were taken away in a carriage.

But even so, your house was searched inside and out."

"How are my grandma and aunt?" Shen Xiaoye was very worried about them.

Shi Cun said, “They took all the money and chased us into the capital.

When I came, the master and mistress were with them."

"It's good that they weren't locked up together." The fact that I was able to catch up with her meant that nothing happened to my grandma again.

Shen Cungeng came to his senses at this moment: "Hurry up and pack up and go."

At this moment, I have no time to care about anything else.

When they rushed out of the county town on horseback, they did not know that Captain Zhao's nephew, General Zhao, had just entered the yamen.

Zhuozhou was more than a hundred miles away from the capital. We traveled all night long, and our horses were so exhausted that we finally entered Liangxiang in the middle of the night.

Of course, the marking masters did not dare to imitate their desperate driving style, so there were only four exhausted horses.

Especially the horse that Shicun was riding, because it had run more than 200 miles back and forth, it was foaming at the mouth and could not hold on any longer.

Shen Changsui said to everyone, "Go into the post station." He used the token again.

At the same time, my aunt Huang was comforting her crying little son. They came in a hurry and stayed at Mr. Pan's house.

Lin couldn't sleep, so she just got up and pulled the wick.

"Mom, did Fu Ge'er wake you up?" Huang patted the still crying child.

Lin shook her head: "I can't sleep, alas, what is coming cannot be avoided.

When the three of us formed a partnership to open the escort agency, we never thought that Qin Laoqi would dare to do such a risky thing.

He died in the charge of refugees, and that was the end of everything, but he didn't know that his children and grandchildren had also followed the same path.

We gave them a lot of things, why can't they live in peace?"

Huang snorted coldly, "They are used to eating delicious food and fish, but now they have to go back to the countryside to eat simple porridge and vegetables. How can the remaining sons of the Qin family bear it?

The most hateful thing is that they actually falsely accused my father and Uncle Zhou of being in cahoots with them.

It wasted Qin Dalang's original intention to shoulder all the responsibility and protect them."

She paused and said, "They won't think we were the ones who informed them, right?

So after being arrested this time, I started making random excuses.”

"When the county magistrate heard the case, there were witnesses and physical evidence that proved we had no knowledge of the case.

Otherwise, the county government would not allow us to leave.

It's just strange. The Guardian Department should be able to check the records, so why do you still believe their false accusations?" Lin was puzzled.

What they didn't know was that Shen Shanyou and his son were being interrogated again. Because they couldn't answer 99% of the questions, they were being kept awake like a hawk.

If it weren't for Captain Zhao's care, he might have been subjected to other severe punishments.

Lin said: "I hope Sui Ge'er can come back soon so that I can find out the details."

When it comes to cases handled by the Guard Bureau, retired people like Mr. Pan usually have no say, and even if they seek advice from other civil servants, it is unlikely to have much impact.

After all, the Shen family are not officials, they are just ordinary people.

The night is long...

But the next day, as soon as the city gate opened, Shen Xiaoye and his group, who had been waiting in line for more than an hour, hurried into the city.

The troops were divided into two groups. Shen Changsui and Shen Cungeng went directly to the Gongwei Division Yamen, while Shen Xiaoye followed Shicun back to the Pan family.

When she saw her grandmother who was so haggard that her hair had turned completely white, she felt so distressed that Mr. Pan took his family away and left the space for them.

“Grandma, aunt, it’s going to be okay.

Fourth uncle and cousin have already gone to find Guard Xia and Captain Zhao."

"How can you go looking for someone without any help? Do you have enough money on you?" Lin was ready to ask her to send more.

Shen Xiaoye gave all the banknotes on her to her fourth uncle. She comforted him, "That's enough. I just came to you to let you know I'm safe. I'll go find them later."

"Wait, take these gold pages with you." Lin always liked to exchange money for gold pages, but the box she handed over was not light.

Shen Xiaoye was startled. She knew all the money in the house without opening it, "Grandma, you don't need it now.

You should know that I also recovered two thousand taels of payment for the goods this time.

Besides, we don’t know how far the matter has progressed, and we don’t know who to turn to or how much it will cost.”

"Mom, Xiaoye is right. I'll go with her now. Can you take care of Fu Ge'er?" Huang felt that her mother-in-law needed to be busy, so she handed the younger son to her and winked at Shen Xiaoye to send the old lady back to where she lived.

Shen Xiaoye shook her head slightly and said, "How about grandma and my little cousin go live in Juxianfang first?

Brother Erniu and Zhuangzhuang are both there, so they can take care of me."

Judging from the sunken eye sockets of grandma, she must have not slept well. She needs to make up for the sleep, but it will be inconvenient to stay at my husband's house.

"No need, go find Sui Ge'er first, and then we'll go home together after you come back." Lin urged them to go quickly and did not force her to take the box away.

Shen Xiaoye was worried about her, so she asked her aunt to accompany her and went to the Guard Bureau with Mr. Pan.
