The carriage was moving very fast. After about an hour, the people behind had been left far behind by Shen Jinyao.

Those people probably haven't given up looking for them, but they probably won't be able to find them for a while.

Shen Jinyao stopped at the foot of a mountain.

There are many trees at the foot of the mountain, which is relatively hidden at night.

There are two advantages to living close to the mountains.

First, you can find water and food on the mountain, and second, if pursuers come, it is easier to escape by running up the mountain.

After the carriage stopped, Shen Jinyao took out the stove and pot from the bag in the carriage.

She said to Datian, "I have some pancakes here, but we still need to get some water. Is it okay for you two brothers to go together?"

Smart people know that Shen Jinyao sent the two brothers away to do something so that she could talk to her family.

Datian naturally understood it, but only Xiaotian really thought that they needed to go to the mountains to find water.

Datian took the water bag and said, "Brother Jin, let's go up first."

Shen Jinyao nodded, very satisfied with Datian's understanding.

Although Datian didn't ask, he was also very curious.

At first, Brother Jin said he came to Wanxi Village to find his family.

When she got to see, she found out that her family members were actually criminals!

Although those who imprison them may not be good people, criminals may be bad people.

However, as we got along, I felt that those people seemed to be quite polite.

Like the masters and sons of wealthy families.

Only after Datian and Xiaotian left did the Shen family feel relieved.

Shen Jinyao handed Shen Maoshan a bowl of water and said, "Father, who are these people? What list do they want?"

Shen Maoshan and others were a little surprised that Shen Jinyao actually knew about the list.

Shen Maoshan said: "This list is full of fabricated charges. They thought I had seen it, but in fact I didn't pay any attention to it at all."

Shen Jinyao looked at the expressions of her uncle and third uncle, and saw that they all understood.

I think this matter is not a secret among the brothers.

Since it is not a secret, it means that Shen Maoshan should not have seen that list.

Otherwise, who would be so bold as to tell others about it?

Seeing that Shen Maoshan didn't want to say more, Shen Jinyao explained, "Father, you might as well tell me the truth. That way, if there are any more men in black, I'll know how to deal with them."

Shen Maoshan asked, "How did you know about the list?"

Shen Jinyao answered truthfully: "A few days ago, we were on our way to exile and encountered men in black who wanted to assassinate us."

"This is the second wave we're experiencing, the last time the number of people was smaller."

"This time they are a little strange..."

Shen Maoshan asked: "Why is it strange?"

He always thought that although the other members of the Shen family would suffer in exile, it should be better than theirs.

Who would have thought that he would be robbed and attacked twice.

Shen Jinyao: "They kept forcing my mother and me to hand over the list, threatening to kill us if we didn't."

Shen Jinyao spoke calmly, but the four people who listened to her broke out in cold sweats.

The remaining people in the Shen family are all women and children. How can anyone carry the burden?

wrong……

They looked at Shen Jinyao across from them, recalling how she had looked when she had just killed someone...

I probably understand everything.

Shen Jinyao continued, "So, father, uncle, and third uncle, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

"It's still a long way from here to Quzhou. I'm worried..."

Although Shen Jinyao didn't finish her words, everyone understood the specific meaning.

Shen Maoshan sighed and felt that what Shen Jinyao said made sense.

Now they can't even protect themselves, so what's the point of not letting Shen Jinyao and others know.

He said, "The list they are talking about is from the Shangjing period."

Shen Maoshan fell into reminiscence. He said slowly, "That time I was invited to drink with colleagues, and when I got there, someone was making a noise."

"I went to take a look and just said a few words to help. Who knew..."

"The person making the noise had an important list in his hand. I still don't know who the list involved. Anyway, since then, more and more people have come to the court to denounce me."

Shen Jinyao was surprised and asked, "Father, do you mean you don't know what the list is?"

Shen Maoshan nodded, "But..."

When he said this, he looked at the people in the carriage. They were all his family members, so he was not afraid of it getting out.

"I suspect it has something to do with a certain prince's party list."

Shen Jinyao nodded. Shen Congshan had no expression on his face. He just listened carefully to his brother's analysis.

Shen Mingshan's face was full of contemplation, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Shen Zhizheng seemed to be hearing this for the first time, his face full of shock.

Shen Maoshan continued, "It was only after I was kidnapped that I learned about the list, and it reminded me of someone asking me about it before."

The person who asked him was the emperor, so he couldn't say anything about this matter.

Shen Jinyao asked: "Father, were the people who kidnapped you those yamen runners?"

She looked at those people. Some of them were wearing yamen runners' clothes, while others were not.

Shen Maoshan shook his head and said, "They killed the yamen runners who were escorting us and put on their clothes."

"Then they tied us up and brought us to this place."

"I didn't even know a small village had a secret passage."

Among the people in the carriage, only Shen Maoshan was in politics and knew something about the affairs of the county magistrate.

Although others didn't understand, they also found it incredible.

Shen Jinyao: "It seems they want to conceal your whereabouts. After a long time, the court will not know your whereabouts, and everything will go as they wish."

In their eyes, the value of Shen Maoshan and others is just that list.

If nothing can be learned from them, their lives are worthless.

Shen Jinyao couldn't help but feel a little relieved that she came.

Not only Shen Jinyao thought of this, but even Shen Congshan, who didn't care about anything, thought of this.

They couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Shen Maoshan said: "Jin'er, this time thanks to you for coming to save us. If you hadn't come, I guess..."

Shen Maoshan didn't finish his words.

But everyone thought of that level.

The Shen family was exiled and in the eyes of others, they were already abandoned.

It was unexpected that they could reach Quzhou alive.

This topic is a bit heavy because no one can predict what will happen next.

Shen Congshan, who had been silent the whole time, cleared his throat and changed the subject, "Jin'er, how are your grandmother and the others?"

As soon as this topic came up, the four men of the Shen family all looked at Shen Jinyao.

Shen Jinyao didn't think of hiding anything and planned to report it to them truthfully.

After all, they have hope in their hearts, so the probability of reaching Quzhou will be greater.

Shen Jinyao said, "Congratulations, father and third uncle, you are going to be fathers."

"what?"

"Who do you think is the father?"
