You confiscated my property, I exiled you, why are you crying when the treasury is empty?

When she woke up naturally from her sleep, Su Wanning began to wonder if they were now in exile.

I opened the door and went downstairs. The exile team was still sitting downstairs in a dead silence.

Even when Su Wanning went down, they just looked up.

However, when Su Wanning passed by several officials, she could feel the hostility in their eyes.

It seems that they really did it, but her actions last night disrupted their plans.

"I wonder if the thief has been caught?" Su Wanning pretended to be uncomfortable all night and asked the people in the lobby in a low voice.

Zhan Yiran came to Su Wanning's side and said, "No, I just reported it to the police. The investigation hasn't started yet."

Su Wanning looked at the officers standing by with red eyes, "Don't we have a few officers here? If you report separately, you can't see these officers. I believe they can bring the thief to justice. At worst, we can share some of the money with them after we find it."

Zhan Yiran took Su Wanning's hint and said, "Yes, even if it's half, it's fine. My mother received nearly ten thousand taels of silver notes last night. Even if we take out half and divide it among the officials, each of them will get one thousand taels."

Peng Hai, who was drinking water at the side, was startled. Nearly ten thousand taels of silver notes?

Why didn't he see it? Or did someone hide it?

His face became increasingly gloomy. After another cup of tea, he took Li Si back to the room.

"Go and bring Lao Liu over here."

Li Si also heard what Su Wanning and Zhan Yiran said, "Master Peng, are you suspicious..."

He didn't finish the rest of the words, but he naturally knew that Peng Hai had some doubts.

He walked out of the room and went straight to the innkeeper's room.

"Mr. Peng is looking for you!" Li Si knocked on the door hard.

Old Liu woke up from the bed in annoyance, cursed, and then responded in a kind tone.

After getting dressed, he went to Peng Hai's room.

"Mr. Peng, are you looking for me?"

Peng Hai looked at Lao Liu with a sharp gaze, "Lao Liu, we have been working together for several years."

Old Liu bent down and complimented, "This is all thanks to Master Peng for giving me the opportunity."

Peng Hai smiled, stood up from the stool and patted Lao Liu on the shoulder, "Li Si, prepare some good wine and food tonight, let's drink tonight."

"Okay, Mr. Peng, I'll go right away." Li Si hurried out of the room.

Su Wanning accompanied the exile team in the lobby of the inn and waited until noon, but there was still no news.

But her stomach had begun to rebel.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long before the officials gave everyone steamed buns as usual.

Su Wanning took the steamed bun and took Zhan Yiran out of the inn directly.

Since she couldn't leave today, she decided to take a walk around Siyang City.

The two of them went straight to a small tavern not far away. Su Wanning had discovered it yesterday. Not only was the wine here mellow, but the dishes cooked in the kitchen were also delicious.

The two of them ordered some dishes and started eating.

But in the middle of the meeting, he met Li Si who came out to buy some wine.

Su Wanning pulled Zhan Yiran and hid for a while, and only came out when Li Si arrived in Europe.

It seemed that Peng Hai still believed what they said in the morning, and she had almost guessed how things would develop.

The innkeeper would definitely keep it a secret, but he would definitely not say how much it was. However, this alone was enough to magnify Peng Hai's guess.

As a result, several people will no longer cooperate with each other in the future.

And the facts were exactly as Su Wanning expected.

Peng Hai and the other two drank a lot of wine. Old Liu became more and more arrogant under the flattery of Peng Hai and the other two. Under the influence of alcohol, he directly said his secrets on the spot.

Peng Hai was so angry that he picked up a big knife and chopped at Lao Liu's neck.

The head fell to the ground.

The next morning, before daybreak, the sound of gongs could be heard in the inn.

The exiles quickly left the city.

What Su Wanning didn't expect was that there was a team of about a dozen people under an ancient tree not far outside the city.

When they got closer, they found that they were also exiled people. The officers handed over the matter to Peng Hai and then left.

The number of people in the exile group increased a lot, but because of this, some people started to cause trouble.

"Why don't they have to wear anklets and handcuffs? Why don't they have to wear these tiring shackles?"

"Why don't they have to bring it?"

"Did they bribe you officials, or is there some shady deal going on between you?"

The officers nearby walked over and looked at the new members of the team, then looked in the direction of Su Wanning where they were pointing.

Just whip them a few times.

"They are common people, and you are criminals, so why do you wear them?

If you make another noise, I'll whip you to death!"

After beating the official, he returned to his original place.

The person who was originally chattering and shouting did not dare to say anything more after being whipped.

However, one of the women who had been silent all the time observed for a while, took two quick steps and came to the back of the ox cart used by Zhan Beiwang.

Without saying a word, they kept two steps away until the midday break, when the shackles on the exile team were removed.

The woman then walked to Zhan Beiwang's ox cart.

"Sir, my feet are a little uncomfortable. Can I rest on your ox cart for a while before going to our resting place?"

Zhan Beiwang didn't say anything, but looked at Zhan Lingfeng behind the woman.

Zhan Lingfeng walked up to the woman, took a look at her, then carried Zhan Beiwang on his back and walked towards the resting place.

The woman shouted, "Sir, if you don't say anything, it means you agree."

He then sat directly on the ox cart, rubbed his ankles, and left after sitting for about a cup of tea.

When it was time to eat, she handed a bowl of rice to Song Ying, "Aunt, I just rode on your family's ox cart for a while. I don't like to owe people favors, so this bowl of rice is my reward."

After saying this, he left quickly without giving Song Ying a chance to refuse.

Zhan Yiran, who was eating, was shocked by the scene and asked, "What do you think that woman meant?"

Su Wanning ate her meal as if nothing had happened. "You're not trying to seduce me, why should I worry about you?"

"After all, you are my brother's legitimate wife. This is a blatant provocation."

"How can a substitute marriage be considered a legitimate marriage?"

Zhan Yiran paused with his chopsticks in his hand. Su Wanning was a substitute for marriage, so Su Wanning had not been there from the beginning.

Well, if her brother proposed again, and married Su Wanning in a formal ceremony with a wedding gown of ten miles, then they would be a real couple.

But now things have suddenly turned out like this between him and his brother. It would be great if their relationship could be restored to normal.

She didn't ask any more questions and just started eating.

Before finishing the meal, Su Wanning took the lunch box from Zhan Yiran's hand.

"Stop eating, let's go and watch the fun."

He pointed to a place not far away, where several people gathered. Because of the noise, the people nearby also stretched their heads to look.
