Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Sheng Changan and the other two only brought four people with them, and the others were scattered in other places.

A few days after they arrived in Shangyu, the people who were chasing them arrived right after them, and no one knew what the county magistrate of Shangyu and the general Gao stationed there were thinking.

The city gates were opened wide to welcome the people in. The team of nearly two thousand people had now all entered the city.

Such a large event attracted a lot of attention as soon as they entered the city, and almost all the people on the streets fled in all directions.

For two days in a row, the streets were deserted and everyone was in danger.

Although they usually had dealings with the Xianbei people, their troops had never entered the city directly, and so far, they had no intention of leaving.

A waiter dressed as a waiter put the food on the table with a gloomy face. "Now they don't know when they can leave. The business of the inn has been affected."

Sheng Changan's eyebrows curved slightly, and his tone was naive. "Aren't they just looking for someone? Maybe they'll leave once they find someone."

He smiled bitterly. It was not that simple. The business of his inn was not good to begin with. He was often excluded because he did not want to do anything against his conscience.

The inn is run by only the couple, and there are not many guests staying there, so they have already planned to sell the inn.

We were already negotiating the price recently, but who knew this would happen again? They said they were looking for someone, but these people wouldn't leave unless they got enough benefits.

And every time they left, the county magistrate would recover the lost money in another way.

"What's the matter, boss? Do you think it's impossible? It's just a matter of finding someone. It should be quick!"

The shopkeeper felt helpless looking at Sheng Changan with an innocent face. He didn't know which family the young lady was from, but she actually ran to the border. She really thought her life was too long.

"We haven't found them yet. I heard there are thirteen people in total, including a young boy. Almost everyone in Xinlu City has searched for them recently." Even his inn has been visited two or three times.

But speaking of it, the boy didn't have one, but the girl did. But he must have been overthinking it, because the brother and sister in front of him had a darker complexion except for the brother.

The young lady had fair skin and was good at applying makeup, looking spoiled. Judging from their ID cards, they had not entered the city in the past two days.

Sheng Changan nodded and said, "We have General Gao here, nothing will happen. Shopkeeper, please don't be so sad."

General Gao, that good-for-nothing. The shopkeeper's eyes flashed with disdain, but he still said, "Yes! Don't worry, Miss. With General Gao here, everything will be fine."

"But it might be a bit chaotic outside these days, so young men and young ladies, please don't go out to play," the shopkeeper warned.

"Don't worry, boss. I will keep an eye on my sister and never let her run around," Shen Huaizhi said.

Sheng Changan curled his lips in displeasure, but said nothing.

The shopkeeper looked at Sheng Changan's reluctant expression and felt helpless, but he had already said it, and he could only do this much. If anything really happened, he couldn't be blamed.

As soon as the shopkeeper left, Sheng Changan immediately put away his arrogant look. "This shopkeeper is okay, but is there any problem with this General Gao?"

Although the shopkeeper expressed disapproval just now, his tone was completely the opposite.

"This General Gao, whose full name is Gao Meng, is a coward, but he's quite good at flattering people, which is why he got this position."

"But he doesn't want to hear bad things from the people. If someone says something bad about him, something bad will happen. This year, some people have gradually realized this."

"So even if they look down on him, they won't say anything. Instead, they'll praise him. Others who don't know the truth will actually think he's that great."

"He's just a villain," Shen Huaizhi said with disdain in his tone.

Sheng Changan raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Gao Meng might have offended him, but this was really disgusting.

It's like a fly, you can't kill it, but it keeps buzzing in your ear.

According to his own estimation, General Gao had at least 8,000 soldiers under his command, yet he was so spineless that he actually welcomed the people in directly.

You know, it's easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. These Xianbei people are not easy to deal with.

Sheng Changan was in a dilemma. She wanted to rescue all the women in the mansion, even though they were all good-for-nothings, but she couldn't go too far.

She didn't want to attract the attention of the court so quickly. "Are there any good officials here?"

Shen Huaizhi's eyebrows moved. "There is indeed one. County Magistrate Zhao can barely be counted, but precisely because of this, he was not given any important position."

"He can't interfere with any decisions made by the county. The only reason he's still in this position is because of some indirect relationship with Master Ye."

She had also heard Chen Hanlin mention Master Ye. If Master Ye had not saved his life, he would probably have been beheaded on the spot.

The reason why Taifu Ye can still stay in this position is because he is aware of the current situation and knows that the prince is a hopeless person, so he does not force him to do anything.

He was only concerned with protecting his own family, so for the time being he had not offended the treacherous prime minister. However, he kept pleading for others, so it was hard to say what would happen next.

It would have been fine if he could really just turn a deaf ear and ignore everything, but he couldn't help but plead for his colleague. After all, he was the Grand Tutor, and a veteran of two dynasties, so he was fine for the time being.

But if this Grand Tutor were to leave, the Ye family might not be able to survive. The county lieutenant's surname was Zhao, indicating that the relationship was more than just a little bit distant. However, as long as Grand Tutor Ye was around, the Shangyu County Magistrate would not dare to deal with him arbitrarily.

But Shen Huaizhi understood it so clearly, it seemed that he had made a lot of preparations after being exiled.

"I just knew a little bit about it. He helped me when I was just exiled." Shen Huaizhi also felt her gaze.

But he did help him then, so he wanted to help him now. "I just think it's a pity."

There are too many unfortunate people in this world, and Sheng Changan does not have the ability to save them all, but since he is here, County Captain Zhao may be able to save them.

"What we have to do now is to intensify their conflicts so that it will be easier for us to fish in troubled waters." Sheng Changan tapped the table with his fingers.

"The two times they were from Gao Meng, and the next time they come should be from Xianbei." However, Shen Huaizhi was not worried. After all, judging from the looks of him and Sheng Changan, they might not be able to recognize them.

Apart from her skin looking a little whiter and her facial features being much flatter, Sheng Changan looked like an average-looking, somewhat spoiled young lady who came out to play.

Not to mention that they had never even looked at her closely, and they still thought she was just a young boy, perhaps with some skills, which was why she had gotten them into this situation.

A Xianbei man with a rough appearance sat in the main seat, while Gao Meng and the Shangyu County Magistrate stood below, wiping the sweat from their heads from time to time.

With murderous intent in his eyes, he slowly spoke, "So you're telling me they're not here with you, and my people were mistaken?"

Gao Meng laughed awkwardly and said, "Perhaps. How about asking the people who saw it?"

"But the person who saw it was this general." After saying that, he stood up and kicked Gao Meng in the chest.

Gao Meng rolled several times before stopping, but he didn't dare to say anything. He just said timidly: "General, General, maybe, maybe my men didn't look carefully enough."

"They must not be working seriously. I will go and find them myself this time."

The "waste" man stood up with a look of disdain, looking down at Gao Meng who was kneeling in front of him. The Han people are cowardly, and no one knows what Wang is thinking.

He can beat ten of this kind of trash by himself, so why doesn't he just take Yasukuni for himself?

But first he had to find the little ant that dared to challenge him. He sneered, "A-Ling, take your men and go find it, house by house, and don't let any of them go."

If the king didn't want fame, he would have wanted to massacre Shangyu directly. Anyway, the people were bound to come in, so wouldn't it be enough to just kill them all? In this respect, Ashileyan was no match for Daxitai.

Although Da Xitai has no brains, his style of doing things is still very much to his liking. It's a pity that the king doesn't want him to live.
