A massive famine! The whole family travels through time together, and with their spatial abilities,

Chapter 170: All debts between the Su family and the villagers have been cleared.

"Brother Su, I heard you don't plan to stay in the capital for long?" the registrar asked casually.

Su Yunhai nodded and briefly explained the situation to the registrar.

The registrar originally thought the Su family were just ordinary people, but he never expected them to be so wealthy.

If the Su family were merely wealthy, they might not be able to secure a friendship with the Gu and Zhou families; they must possess other exceptional qualities.

The Prefect is indeed discerning! He is truly a role model for us all!

“I see. If you leave, who knows when you’ll come back to the capital? These debts might become bad debts,” the registrar quickly said.

"In that case, why don't you transfer these people's debts to the government? It will be much more convenient for the government to collect the debts here."

"But don't worry, we definitely won't charge any extra interest to the people. Everything will be based on the amount on the IOU, okay?"

Su Yunhai never expected that this ancient world could actually outsource debt.

Who says the ancients lacked wisdom?

We're probably using things that our ancestors already knew.

Su Yunhai thought this method was good.

It saved me a lot of trouble.

His smile immediately became much more genuine.

He immediately explained the situation to the villagers.

But in the hearts of the villagers, they would rather owe the Su family than get involved with the government.

After all, owing the Su family doesn't necessarily mean they have to repay, but how could they dare to keep delaying repayment of debts owed to the government?

Only the Zhang and Li families, along with the villagers of Shan'ao Village, readily agreed.

Seeing that most people disagreed, Su Yunhai's last bit of affection for the villagers was exhausted.

He directly reviewed the accounts with the registrar in front of the villagers.

The villagers were secretly resentful, but there was nothing they could do.

Upon returning to the capital, the registrar handed over all the outstanding debts to Su Yunhai, totaling over 41,000 taels of silver.

Since then.

All debts between the Su family and the villagers have been cleared.

Su Yunhai only took 40,000 taels of silver notes.

The remaining amount was a little over a thousand.

He gave 40% to the registrar as a thank you, and asked him to pass on the other 60% to Lord Wang.

The registrar was surprised by Su Yunhai's generosity.

After several attempts to refuse, he finally accepted it with pleasure, feeling that his decision was absolutely correct.

the other side.

We finally made it to the capital.

Shen Shuli, along with Shen Yuehua and all the members of the Su and Shen families, excitedly strolled and ate their way through the city.

The two families rested for two days.

He has fully recovered his energy.

My enthusiasm for shopping is extremely high.

In order to avoid being disliked, ostracized, and pointed at by people in Beijing.

Shen Shuli took both families to the best clothing store in the city and bought several sets of the latest seasonal clothing for everyone.

Everything was provided, including hair ornaments and hairpins for the hair bun, hair crowns for men to tie their hair up, and jade pendants to weigh down their robes.

A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.

Both families were dressed up nicely, and their entire demeanor changed.

They have a bit of a city dweller vibe to them.

Besides what you wear.

Everyone's greatest enthusiasm was for eating.

I ate at almost all the famous restaurants in Beijing.

On the road to escape famine, they ate porridge, steamed buns and dumplings every day.

It was either a hodgepodge of various meats, and they wouldn't have been able to eat it if it weren't for the need to fill their stomachs.

Especially the newly arrived Old Man Su and his wife, and the brothers Su Yunshan and Su Yunlin.

They suffered from severe acclimatization problems for the first few days.

I endured the nausea and ate the bland, meaty food.

The hard times are finally over.

Even Su Yunshan, who has severe mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, couldn't stop eating on the food street.

He would buy and try every kind of food.

He would only eat three bites of the delicious food at most, and leave the unpalatable food to his few adopted children and grandchildren.

He ate almost nonstop all day, even as it was getting dark, which was quite amazing.

Su Mantang and his three siblings, along with their children, did not mind at all that the food was food their father had eaten.

Everyone ate heartily and was very full.

Who is as lucky as them? They've tried every kind of snack in Beijing!

Such a beautiful day is something I never dared to dream of before!

"Hurry! I heard that His Majesty has ordered the confiscation of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and his exile, and now he has sent men to surround the mansion!"

"What? Why does Your Majesty want to confiscate the General's residence? The General has dedicated his life to guarding the borders for our dynasty, achieving numerous merits. Why would Your Majesty do this?"

"I heard that the General colluded with the Northern Barbarians, betraying the country for personal gain and plotting a rebellion. His Majesty, considering the General's merits, did not sentence him to exterminate his entire family."

"What a joke! The General is already second only to the Emperor. Why would he rebel? Isn't this just nonsense?"

"Who knows, maybe the general doesn't want to be a general anymore and wants to sit on the dragon throne? Who can say for sure?"

"Exactly, everyone is greedy; who wouldn't want that position..."

As the Su and Shen families walked, they heard the people around them excitedly discussing the General's Mansion.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuli frowned.

She then remembered the plot of the original book.

During the period when the Northern Barbarian army invaded Cangzhou Prefecture, the General's Mansion was used as a scapegoat by the emperor after it had served its purpose.

General Xie had long since died under the swords of the northern barbarians.

The emperor was adept at smearing the dead.

This part of the plot didn't have much to do with Shen Shuli, so she didn't take it to heart.

did not expect.

They had barely entered the capital when they encountered this major event.

Shen Shuli was a soldier in her previous life, and she deeply despised the behavior of those in power who would indiscriminately smear people and then discard them after they had served their purpose.

Moreover, as someone in the know, she knew that the Grand General was merely a victim of the power struggle within the imperial court and had been wronged.

Thinking of the Xie family.

Shen Shuli always felt that she had forgotten something.

She calmed herself down and tried to recall what she had missed.

'By the way, Wanjun!'

Shen Shuli then remembered her best friend!

'My grandparents mentioned on the day they arrived that my best friend had mysteriously disappeared along with me.'

'If that's the case, doesn't that mean she might have also traveled through time with me?'

"The Mu family, the Mu family is also on the list of those to be purged by the emperor!" Shen Shuli's pupils shrank, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Ah Li, what are you saying?"

Shen Yuehua was puzzled as to why her daughter, who was perfectly fine, had suddenly become lost in thought and was muttering incomprehensible words.

"What Mu family? What happened to the Mu family?"

Upon seeing this, the grandparents and other family members from the Shen family quickly came over to inquire about the situation.

Shen Shuli's expression was not good.

There were too many people present, so she couldn't disclose the exact number.

Shen Yuehua instantly understood her daughter's concerns, and she immediately pulled away all the unsuspecting people to create some space.

Shen Shuli looked at her grandparents and uncles and patiently explained, "Grandpa, Grandma, I'm worried that Wanjun has also transmigrated, and that she should be wearing the clothes of the eldest daughter of the Mu family."

Su Yunlin glanced at the novel a few times, but didn't read it carefully.

He then remembered and quickly said, "Yes, yes, I think I saw the name Mu Wanjun in the novel."

Shen Shuli nodded and continued, "There is a Mu family in the novel, which is Mu Wanjun's family. I'm worried that if she were to transmigrate into the book, she would probably inhabit the body of Mu Wanjun in the book."

"Just now, those common people were talking about how the emperor was going to confiscate the general's property and exile him."

“The Mu family is also a thorn in the emperor’s side. The emperor found an excuse to sentence them to have their property confiscated and exile them. I’m worried that Wanjun will be implicated.”

Both exile and fleeing famine are painful, but exile is definitely more painful than fleeing famine!
