Shopkeeper Lin went out, and only the three of them were left here.

"Where are we going next? Back to Wangniu Village?" Ji Xiaoju asked.

"We must go back, but we can't go back now, and we can't go back just like that," said Gu Liang.

"How about I just die and pretend to be dead?" Gu Can suggested.

"What's wrong?" Ji Xiaoju slapped him.

"The plot says that Governor Liu Fengan should be in the neighboring city right now. He became a loyal customer on Gu Banxia's first day. He's quite upright, and if he hears about this, he'll definitely rush over."

"By the time he gets here, that Feng Zhubo will have already captured me."

"So we can't wait for him to come over. We'll go and file a complaint now." Gu Liang had already made some plans. They were going to take the imperial examination, so it was best to follow the rules. They needed someone to help them. If no one took the initiative to help them, they would just go to someone else.

Liu Feng'an was supposed to be on duty as an inspector for the Emperor, and any grievances he encountered were to be reported. If his case could reach the Emperor, it would leave a lasting impression on him, and his chances of passing the imperial examination would increase.

The family of three did not hesitate and immediately got up and rushed to Fengcheng.

"Where are the people?" Feng Zhubo rushed over after receiving the news. He found nothing.

"Sir, those three have already left."

"Did you say where you were going?"

"We don't know either. He probably went home."

"Hmph, he runs fast. You guys, go and find him. Make sure to bring him back to me, no matter if he's dead or alive!" Master Feng pointed at a few people and went to look for them along Wangniu Village.

The three of them had already left the city, fortunately having taken their household registration passes and other documents with them before leaving. Once outside, they took a deserted path. Once they were away from the crowds, they quickly pulled out their advanced technology, ate, drank, and slept, sending out their search bees to locate Liu Fengan.

"This day has been exhausting. I'm feeling terrible." It was dark once we left the city. He found a deserted spot, unpacked his portable apartment, and entered, switching on stealth mode. He activated his protection to the highest level. The three of them relaxed on the sofa, not wanting to move at all.

"Soak in the spiritual spring when it's time to soak, and take the marrow cleansing pill when it's time to take it. I'll make some external ointment later and apply it on your skin to keep you looking pale and thin. The scars on your body can also be made up. Otherwise, I feel like I might die at any time with this body!" Gu Can would rather go through some trouble than feel this weak state again.

"Okay, I was in a hurry to get out today, so I didn't wash properly. I still feel very dirty." Ji Xiaoju was 100% confident in Gu Can's ability, so she got up and went to take a bath immediately.

"Then I'm going to take a bath too." After saying that, Gu Can went to her room and took the rejuvenation pill first. After the medicinal power was dissolved and her internal organs were regulated, she took the marrow cleansing pill to expel impurities from her body. After washing herself twice, she soaked in the spiritual spring and felt so comfortable that she felt a little drowsy.

They changed into their fluffy pajamas and had a good sleep. When they woke up, it was bright daylight. The three of them changed into new clothes and carefully put away their tattered old ones. The search bee also brought back news about Liu Fengan.

"That Feng Zhubo must have noticed we left the city." Gu Can drank millet porridge, ate meat buns, and occasionally took a bite of refreshing pickles. My mother's products must be exquisite. This spicy kohlrabi was crisp and refreshing. She could eat it as a snack!

"Well, let's continue on our journey after we finish eating."

"I wonder how many people were sent out to look for us?"

"That Feng Zhubo has been rooted in Tongcheng for many years and can be regarded as a local emperor. No one has dared to confront him like this for many years. Moreover, Liu Fengan is nearby. He dare not gamble. There should be many people coming to arrest us."

"I have released the elves to investigate, and I will leave clues for them when necessary. If they are missing, the show will not be interesting." Gu Can replied with a smile.

Ji Xiaoju and Gu Liang looked at Gu Can with helpless doting. They also wanted this scene to start and end quickly so that they could study for the imperial examinations in peace. With his current body, thirty years old is the perfect age for enlightenment!

Five days passed leisurely like this, and finally, Liu Fengan's carriage was less than five miles away from them.

The three of them quickly applied ointment, changed their clothes, and appeared on the hillside, directing the elves to lead over the twenty or so strong men with knives.

"Help, help."

"Xiaoju Cancan, run quickly."

"Cancan, hurry up and leave."

"Dad, Mom, help!" The twenty or so strong men ran and shouted, wondering if they had really hit someone. These men looked pale and skinny like skeletons, and they still had the energy to shout while running so fast.

"Stop, don't run!"

"Catch them quickly! Master Feng said that if necessary, no one should be left alive!"

"Help me, please don't kill my daddy, daddy, mother, wuwuwuwu!"

"What's that sound? Zhao Long and Zhang Hu, go and take a look." Liu Fengan heard a faint cry for help as his carriage passed by. It was a clear day under the blue sky, and he wanted to see who dared to commit a crime on the official road.

"Ah, Daddy (Brother Liang)!" In order to make his acting more realistic, Gu Liang immediately turned around and hugged Ji Xiaoju and Gu Can when he felt someone coming. He was stabbed hard on the back and blood spurted out, which looked very scary.

"The governor is here, why don't you surrender quickly!" Zhao Long and Zhang Hu saw this scene when they arrived. More than twenty strong men with knives were chasing a weak family of three. The two men immediately drew their swords and stepped forward to protect the three people behind them.

The clashing of swords and the commotion intensified. Liu Fengan and his men rushed over and saw Gu Liang lying in a pool of blood, with Ji Xiaoju and Gu Can, mother and daughter, crying and shouting. He quickly sent people forward to help rescue them. How could these twenty or so knife-wielding men be a match for Liu Fengan's guards? They quickly apprehended the men.

"Who are you? How dare you commit murder here in broad daylight?" Liu Fengan was an upright and honest official who loved his people like his own children. He was furious when he saw this scene.

If they had not happened to be passing by today, the family of three would have been killed.

"We are the servants of Feng Zhubo of Tongcheng. If you have any idea, please let us go. Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences when we arrive in Tongcheng!" The burly man in the lead was used to bullying others over the years, so he directly confessed the people behind the scenes.

I don’t know if Feng Zhubo will regret raising such a group of idiots if he finds out.

"Oh, this is Chief Clerk Feng from Tongcheng. You have such great authority. What did these three people do that you have to kill them like this?" Liu Fengan was so angry that he laughed. How could a mere servant of the Chief Clerk dare to be so arrogant!

"Hmph, they don't know what's good for them. They offended our master's father-in-law. Kill them."

"Okay, okay, you're the Chief Secretary Feng from Tongcheng, right? Tie them up for me and postpone the trial for a later time!" When Liu Fengan heard the tone, he thought that these three people were not the first ones to be persecuted.

I don’t know how many tricks there are in this Tongcheng. It seems that I need to plan this trip carefully.

"Sir, the bleeding has stopped. Although there is no injury to the vital parts, he is weak to begin with. Now all he can do is rely on his luck." The accompanying doctor came over to report Gu Liang's injury.

"Use the best medicine and do your best to treat the wound." Liu Fengan looked at the mother and daughter who were crying bitterly and might faint at any time. The family of three looked too miserable.
