Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

Seeing that Li Tian treated the Shen family so well, the Shen family members did not show any joy on their faces, but instead looked worried.

No one said anything, but all looked at Shen Qingge.

At this moment, Shen Qingge looked calm and composed, as if everything was under her control.

She forced a bright smile on her face, took two steps forward, and thanked him:

"I'm so grateful, Mr. Li! I was just worried about this. Look at how exhausted we are, my family, including women and children, are after this long journey. It's been very hard!"

I really couldn't bear to let my elderly grandmother and the young children live in that dirty and smelly stable."

After saying this, she pretended to be sad and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands.

"Well, I've met such a kind person like you! But..."

Li Tian's heart tightened. What tricks was this young woman going to play next?

"But what?"

"We're short of money. Two hundred copper coins per person, ten people would be two thousand copper coins, which is two taels of silver! It's too expensive!"

Li Tian was stunned. He didn't expect that this would involve bargaining!

However, he looked around and found that no one was willing to spend money to sleep in a dormitory. Well, making less money is still making money, right? What else can he do?

"Well, then I'll take matters into my own hands and give each of you twenty copper coins."

"Our Shen family can only afford one hundred copper coins per person. We don't have any more than that!"

Although Shen Qingge's tone was respectful, his words revealed that they were not negotiable.

"One tael of silver?"

Shen Qingge nodded.

Li Tian was a little annoyed. It seemed that he was not allowed to earn a penny!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, but he couldn't make a scene. After a long while, he managed an awkward smile.

"How about this, Miss Shen, you guys wait a little longer. I'll go ask Brother Gui and see if he can come up with some ideas!"

After all, most of this money is to be given to Brother Gui as a filial gift, and he cannot make this decision on his own.

So he ran to the captain Wang Gui and told him the whole story.

Although Wang Gui was also very angry, there was nothing he could do. Things had come to this point and he could only agree.

He felt more and more that Shen Qingge was not that simple. She seemed to be respectful, but in fact she was dealing with them.

If he was truly afraid of them, how could he dare to make such a condition? He must quickly complete the task ordered by the prince and kill this woman!

Thinking of this, Wang Gui couldn't help but clench his fists.

As for Shen Qingge, looking at Wang Gui's grinning expression, she became even more alert. She also had to find out the purpose of the official as soon as possible. She had to strike first and could not sit and wait for death.

In this way, the Shen family paid the original price of the post station and lived in the only remaining large bunk bed.

The Wu family was so angry that their teeth were itching.

Zhao Du also had other plans in mind.

What was going on with these officials? Why were they so protective of the Shen family? What was going on? It seemed he had to find a chance to show them that he was the prince's man!

But what if these people are not the prince's men and do not appreciate it? Otherwise, wait until the next time the prince's secret guards come, and find out.

……

The Shen family put on their bags and prepared to go into the room.

Shen Qingge made a wait gesture and entered the room first.

She walked along the door and looked carefully at every corner of the room, even the hay on the bed, which she lifted up one by one to look at.

In the end, the room was dark, damp, and smelled musty, but there were no hidden mechanisms or poisons.

Shen Qingge then assured everyone in the Shen family to enter the room. The tired family could finally have a good sleep.

As soon as everyone entered the house, they started busily cleaning up and tidying up.

The eldest sister-in-law Wang Lan and the fourth sister-in-law Jiang Yue were going to try their luck at the stable, pick up some hay, spread it on the bed, and replace the moldy hay.

At this time, Shen Qingge pulled the two sisters-in-law together, then closed the door and looked towards the window. After confirming that no one was watching, he said softly:

"Da Qiao, take your brothers and sisters and eat first. Don't let them go hungry!"

After saying that, she handed the bag containing food to Da Qiao.

The well-behaved and sensible Da Qiao knew that the adults had something to discuss, so she quickly pulled her younger brothers and sisters to the corner of the room.

Everyone then gathered together, sat down in front of the big bunk bed, and formed a circle.

Shen Qingge got straight to the point and said, "Grandmother, sisters-in-law, tomorrow I will be going to the county town with the officials to do some shopping. Although I'll only be gone for half a day, I'm still a little worried!"

Fifth sister-in-law Bai Yu understood: "Could it be that you are worried that the officials will take advantage of your absence to harm us?"

"That's right! Tomorrow, you must not offend the officials and try to avoid them. No matter when, you must gather together and never leave the children alone.

If you still accidentally annoy the officers, and they only beat and scold you, just bear it if you can, and never confront them head-on!

In short, act according to circumstances and save yourself first!"

Upon hearing this, the sisters-in-law nodded solemnly and said that they would be careful in everything.

At this time, Third Sister-in-law Qin Qing frowned and looked at Shen Qingge with a worried look:

"Little sister, you should be extra careful when you go out alone with the officers tomorrow! I don't know why, but I always feel like those officers are coming for you!"

"Thank you for the reminder, sister-in-law. I will pay attention to it!"

Then, Shen Qingge turned around and met her grandmother's worried eyes, saying comfortingly, "Don't worry, I have my own plans."

She said she had a plan, and she really did. Just now outside the house, she had already made plans to go behind enemy lines tonight and gather intelligence.

Then, everyone discussed what to buy tomorrow. Dry food was essential, after all, the journey was long, and they needed to ensure a sufficient food supply.

In addition, durable and comfortable clothes and shoes are also necessary to cope with long-term walking.

Food is naturally indispensable. Although you can buy dry food, it can only last for a few days. Fresh food is still needed in the long run.

After everyone finished their discussion, they dispersed to rest, and the tiring day ended.

It was late at night and everything was quiet.

Two figures were standing in a dense forest on the back mountain of the post station.

"Tomorrow, you must find out whether Shen Qingge has a red sandalwood box hidden on her body! This is the latest information we received from the palace's secret guards today. The prince is a little dissatisfied with our slow progress!"

"As you command, Brother Gui! But I do have my doubts. Shen Qingge is just a woman. Could she really have the ability to steal the prince's things without anyone noticing? Besides, I don't think the Shen family has much money."

"You know nothing! Just do as I say. That woman is probably just pretending! If you don't do what the prince ordered, both your heads and mine will be in danger!"

The leaves rustle...

"who?"
