Xihe replied, "Doctor Chen, this was specially made by someone in our mansion for easy consumption."

"Not bad, not bad, these are all made from good medicinal herbs. They are much better than the ones I've seen before. I didn't expect that..."

I thought you only had poison and antidote, but who would have thought that the pills for curing diseases were also amazing.

Doctor Chen took the medicine and studied it.

The others built a few more fires and sat down to warm themselves by the fire.

The rain is pouring outside.

The people gathered around the fire, feeling faintly hot and warm from their bodies to their hearts.

Shen Ruyi warmed herself by the fire for a while and then got into the carriage, leaning back and reading the travelogue.

He also took out a night pearl and placed it on the window to illuminate it.

Even the dilapidated temple looks much more upscale.

"Is this the legendary Night Pearl?"

"There really are night-shining pearls. I always thought they were just legends."

"What do you know, kid? The lives of wealthy people are beyond the understanding of ordinary people like us."

"It really is."

Some people are whispering in others' ears, saying that women are gossipy, but in fact, many men are also gossipy.

Everyone had the same feeling, saying that the newly-appointed King of the East China Sea was the prince with the most money.

After taking a look today, it turns out that there are quite a few treasures.

He actually took out the night pearl to light up the place, which was quite bold.

The reason why Shen Ruyi got into the carriage was because others felt uncomfortable and unable to relax when they were outside.

In fact, she herself was not comfortable either. She felt uncomfortable being squeezed together with so many grown men. Not to mention anything else, she couldn't stand the smell on their bodies.

But she couldn't let herself occupy such a large area and let others get wet in the rain, so she could only make do with this.

Fortunately, the scent of flowers and fruits in the carriage made the experience much better.

As Shen Ruyi entered the carriage, everyone visibly relaxed.

It’s still early for dinner, and we haven’t found any water yet, so we can only continue to roast the fire and wait and see.

Of course, there were also a few smart people who took buckets and planned to collect some rainwater from outside.

In this way, everyone chatted while roasting the fire. Of course, those who needed to be alert were still on guard and never let their guard down for a moment, for fear of a surprise attack.

Suddenly there was a noise outside and obvious footsteps were heard.

Everyone stood up instantly, drew their swords with a loud noise, and stared at the door.

Shen Ruyi also put down the book and prepared to meet the enemy, thinking that he had finally arrived.

It’s better to come earlier so that she won’t get impatient waiting.

As a result, two bloody children stumbled towards the light as fast as they could.

One looked about eight or nine years old, and the other about twelve or thirteen years old.

The oldest child, Chen Song, finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing so many people and knives.

They quickly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Sir, please help us! Sir, please help us! We are not bad people. We are being hunted down. Please help us!"

Whether I can survive today depends on the kindness of these noble people.

The younger Chen Bai could no longer hold on after seeing the light and fainted on the spot.

Before Shen Ruyi could respond, the group of people chasing her arrived.

Seven grown men and two dogs came over following the scent.

Chen Song was so frightened that he no longer cared about being afraid and did not wait for the noble person inside to speak.

He mustered up the courage to drag his unconscious brother into the hall.

There was only one thought in his mind, that was that he wanted to live.

He can't die yet. If he dies, so many people in his family will die in vain.

There are so many people who died unjustly. Whoever redresses their grievances will live.

The people who were chasing after them looked at the group of people in the temple and knew that they could not afford to offend this group of people.

He immediately put away his ferocious expression and changed his face like a chameleon.

He turned his gaze to his boss Niu Er and asked with his eyes whether he should continue or retreat.

This group of people looks difficult to deal with. Why don’t we retreat? A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him.

Niu Er thought, do you think I can't see that these people are not easy to deal with?

But these two bastards must be caught. If they run away, all of their clans will be exterminated.

So you have to go even if you don’t want to.

The higher-ups had issued a death order: if they couldn't catch the person, they wouldn't have to go back.

Because Chen Mingjian still hasn't found any evidence, the two little guys are the most likely to know the whereabouts, so they must be caught.

After weighing the pros and cons, Niu Er still boldly tried to test it out:

"I'm sorry to have disturbed your rest. I would like to apologize to you and hope you can forgive me.

However, we are in public office and are currently investigating a case to apprehend a fugitive. We would appreciate your kindness and allow us to enter the palace to arrest him."

As he said this, he was about to lead people in.

Yingwu was happy: "Get it."

"Yes."

In a few moments, the seven men were tied up.

Doctor Chen was very tactful and took the pulse of the two bloody children.

As for the two dogs, they were killed on the spot and skinned to be stewed.

Seeing that the crisis was over, everyone relaxed again.

It's very delicious to eat dog meat on such a rainy day.

Some people even volunteered to go out in the rain to find water just to drink the hot broth.

The tied-up men were still shouting, "You can't arrest us, we are yamen runners.

We were ordered to come out to investigate the case, you can't treat us like this."

Ying Wu laughed, "Ya'er? Catching fugitives? You're not talking about these two kids, are you?

Rather than saying they are fugitives, I think you are more like fugitives.

You said you were on errands? But you weren't wearing yamen runners' uniforms, so you weren't pretending to be one."

After saying that, he led people to search these people and actually found a token.

I didn't expect that the case would come to your door before I even reached your territory.

Ying Wu became excited. He could finally do something again. He showed the token to Shen Ruyi.

Wang Xiaoliu saw Yingwu's face change, and thought Yingwu was afraid of their prefect, so he stood up immediately.

He started shouting again: "I'm serious, we are here to arrest people on the orders of our prefect Wu.

You are obstructing public service, be careful or you will suffer the consequences.

If you know what's good for you, please let us go. We have someone above us, and not everyone can afford to offend us."

Shen Ruyi looked at the token and found that it was indeed the token of Shu County where she was going.

This is interesting.

This is not a good thing. She had no idea about her next job, and now someone is delivering the results to her.

It’s definitely a first-class merit. No one can stop this good luck if it comes.

Across the carriage, he said, "Which Magistrate Wu? I've never heard of him."

He returned the token and gave Ying Wu a look, "Go for it."
