After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Shen Jinyao asked calmly, "How do you know he's a traitor?"

Zongshi said, "Before, everything our gang did was ordered by the old gang leader. Since we got a new gang leader, we not only participate in the affairs of the court..."

"Even two months ago, some people were sent to the Qiang ethnic group to do some work. We don't know what they did, but they were changed after they came back."

"Not only that, many people in the gang have changed. Some can speak Qiang language, and some even marry Qiang women."

"The gang's supplies are much richer now than before. We no longer lack food or clothing, and we no longer rob the rich to give to the poor."

Zong Cheng continued, "Until one day, we secretly heard someone in the gang say that our gang would be the ambassador of Kyushu Kingdom in the future."

"No matter how stupid we are, we know there must be a traitor among us."

“So we two brothers ran out.”

"When we came out, many brothers tried to persuade us. They said that wealth and glory were waiting for us in the future, and that we could even hold official positions in the Kyushu Kingdom."

"The more we two brothers thought about it, the more uneasy we felt. So we ran away when they weren't paying attention."

After listening to what Zong Cheng and Zong Shi said, Shen Jinyao couldn't help but feel shocked.

It turns out that these are two citizens who love their country.

She couldn't help but think of the Shen family who were exiled because of this.

In a remote town, there are people colluding with foreign races.

Not to mention the power center of Shangjing City.

She was actually a little shaken at this time. Was it really true that Father Shen was not involved?

How did the Chiyan Gang establish contact with other ethnic groups?

Could it be that someone in the court was involved?

Otherwise, why would he promise an official position to the Chiyan Gang?

She put aside her doubts for the moment and looked at her grandmother.

The old lady also looked at Shen Jinyao at this time.

Shen Jinyao nodded and said, "Brother Zong, go wait for us over there first, I'll be there soon."

Zongshi knew that this was a time to discuss whether the two brothers should stay or go.

It’s not their fault, after all, the Chiyan Gang has a very bad reputation.

Because of its stench, few people would associate it with things happening in the court.

Zong brothers: "Okay, Master Jin. We'll wait for you over there."

Shen Jinyao: "Okay."

When the two walked away, the old lady said, "Jin'er, how did you meet them? They..."

"Grandma! Wuwuwu... Your granddaughter knows she was wrong."

Before the old lady finished speaking, Shen Tingyao, who was standing not far away, actually knelt down.

There was a brocade box placed in front of her knees.

This scene is awkward no matter how you look at it.

The old lady's face turned cold: "Tingyao, what trouble have you gotten yourself into again?"

Shen Jinyao looked at Shen Zhixue who was standing behind Shen Tingyao.

Good boy, he actually used the trick of "carrying a thorny stick to ask for forgiveness".

With Shen Tingyao's brain, she definitely couldn't think of the trick of "the villain complains first".

Shen Tingyao raised her head, her face covered with tears.

Just now, Zhixue kept asking her to kneel down, saying that it would be better to tell her in advance than having her grandmother ask and Jinyao complain.

Zhixue's words were still in her ears, asking her to tell the truth and admit her mistake sincerely.

She cried and said, "It's all my fault. I was greedy and used the money Jinyao gave me to buy jewelry."

"Jin wanted to give me money so that I could take a few brothers to buy buns. I bought them ten buns, and I used the remaining money to buy this..."

She didn't dare to say anything more because her grandmother's face was too scary.

"But Jin Yao has already punished me. She didn't let me get in the car and made me run behind and reflect on my mistakes."

"I had been targeted by robbers. They caught up with us and wanted to steal all our carriages."

"Fortunately, the eldest brother of the Zong family showed up in time..."

Aunt Yun hid behind and dared not say a word. She never expected her daughter to do such a foolish thing.

But thinking that Shen Jinyao had already punished her, the old lady would probably not punish her again.

The old lady understood and held her forehead after listening.

"Old lady..."

Nanny Li, who was standing by, noticed that something was wrong with the old lady.

The old lady waved her hand to indicate that everything was fine.

"I'm fine. Even if I die, I won't be able to face my ancestors. Give me a stick, I want to beat this evil boy."

Mrs. Shen hurriedly stopped her, "Mother, take care of yourself."

At this moment, Shen Zhixue also knelt down.

"Grandma, this is my elder sister's fault. But I didn't stop my elder sister, so I am also at fault. I am willing to be punished together with my elder sister."

Aunt Yun fell to her knees with a thud.

"Old Madam, wuwuwu, please have mercy, Tingyao already knows she is wrong."

Everyone around heard the noise from the Shen family, and the servants knew that it must be the second young lady who had caused trouble again.

The brothers of the Zong family were confused.

The old lady insisted, "Jinyao, go get it for me."

Shen Jinyao was also unambiguous and she would not plead for Shen Tingyao.

For her, it can’t happen again for the third time. If it happens again, she will definitely not care about Shen Tingyao’s life or death.

Shen Jinyao found a branch nearby. Although it was not thick, it still hurt when it hit her body.

"grandmother."

Aunt Yun widened her eyes, wondering if Shen Jinyao was taking this opportunity to take revenge.

Why are you still looking for it?

The old lady took the branch and hit Shen Tingyao with it.

Shen Tingyao hugged her arms and dared not shout, while Shen Zhixue knelt straight and took the beating.

The old lady didn't hear it until the branch broke.

But she felt a little dizzy.

"grandmother……"

Shen Jinyao supported the old lady who was shaking a little, and felt a little guilty.

She was angry with Shen Tingyao, but the old lady was innocent.

"I'm fine, Jinyao. You did the right thing. From now on, if anyone of them is ignorant and holds back, just throw them on the road."

Shen Jinyao nodded, "I understand, Grandma. I'll do it again and again. I believe Tingyao will remember it this time."

After being glared at by Shen Jinyao, Shen Tingyao trembled and said, "Grandma, Tingyao knows she was wrong."

This time she really knew she was wrong, not only because she was beaten, but also because her four younger brothers were injured.

The old lady sighed, "I hope so..."

Then she wanted Li Ma to help her back to the carriage.

Shen Jinyao reminded: "Grandma, what about the escort?"

"Before they rescued us, I met them at the Dingcheng Escort Agency in the county town."

"Dingcheng Escort Agency?"

"Grandma, have you heard of it?"

The old lady nodded, then shook her head.

"I just heard your father mention it once. He said there's nothing that Dingcheng Escort Agency can't transport."

"Why didn't you choose Cheng Escort Agency?"

Shen Jinyao told the old lady what she had seen and heard at Dingcheng Escort Agency. The old lady had also thought of everything that Shen Jinyao could think of.

She said: "Your choice is right. We must stay away from the power of the imperial court in our current status."

"As for those two people, I think they can be used for a try."

Then she yelled at Shen Tingyao, "Hurry up and get up. You're kneeling with a box in your arms. Someone who doesn't know would think it contains my ashes."

Everyone hurried to persuade the old lady, thinking that she must be very angry and actually said such unlucky words.
