On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 224 Lie 1
Sheng Quan originally wanted to get the letter back, but he didn't expect it, but it caused uproar in the city and forged a relationship with County Magistrate Chen.

He shouldn't have used the excuse of going out hunting yesterday. This was simply a clear sign that the situation fell into someone else's hands.

Fortunately, he had noticed something was wrong before and had already sent more than a hundred guards to investigate the news. They also hurried back to the guardhouse.

Originally, he had even thought of an excuse, saying that he sensed something was wrong, so he used the excuse of hunting to distract the rebels.

Unexpectedly, the Lord did not give him a chance to defend himself, and directly asked someone to replace him.

His anger was mixed with guilt. When he thought about it again, he felt frightened and uneasy. He didn't know what the Lord would do to him.
But the father and son did not dare to escape, otherwise they would appear guilty of committing crimes and harm their family.

Instead, he was convicted of betraying King Jin'an.

In a rare moment of wisdom, Sheng Yang understood that the current situation was not good for his family. He pointed at Xiao Xiao and bit her to death: "She is my runaway concubine. I want to take her away."

He really thought Xiao Xiao was pregnant and wanted to kidnap Li Yan's concubine and force Li Yan to help.

Everyone works under the King of Jin'an. During the New Year and festivals, they go to see the prince and greet the princess, and it is inevitable to have some acquaintances.

Of course, Li Yan has a high-ranking father. Even if he is a concubine, he can sit with the princes and call him brothers.

In the winter of the previous year, King Jin'an Huadi became the king, and he relied even more on General Li.

Even Sheng Yang understood that fighting the world relies on military generals and governing the world relies on civil servants.

Besides, he has also experienced how powerful the girls of the Xiao family are. They can coax him into being dizzy. Now that he can climb up to Li Yan, he doesn't find it strange at all.

Even if Li Yan doesn't care about Xiao Xiao, he can't ignore Xiao Xiao even for his own sake.

Xiao Xiao heard what he said and instantly understood what he meant, and said angrily: "I'm not, you're talking nonsense. If you dare to take me away, my husband will not give up."

She has no experience, so this is how a concubine behaves, right?
I also thought about the worst possible outcome of being taken away by them.

It's not that she has the overall situation in mind, but it's easier to run away alone than to have the entire family wiped out.

Sheng Quan also looked at his son with satisfaction and felt that he made a good excuse.

He winked at his men, who walked over to Xiao Xiao.

Boss Xiao immediately stood in front of Xiao Xiao: "Take me away if you want! My daughter is weak. If she has a miscarriage, who of you can't afford it!"

He is also a man who cherishes his life. If it were his nephew who was arrested, he might not come forward.

But when he saw Mrs. Liu bursting into tears, he felt very uncomfortable, so he still stepped forward. If that didn't work, he would just be with his little daughter as a companion.

Xiao Xiu and Xiao Lian sneaked back to get bows and arrows when no one was paying attention. They both wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first. If they captured any one of the Sheng family's father and son, they would be able to break their own siege.

It's a pity that Sheng Quan had already told his men to keep an eye on them, and he also deliberately pretended not to care, just waiting for them to take action, so that they would have an excuse to take them.

Therefore, before the Xiao sisters could take aim at them, Sheng Quan's henchmen rushed over, snatched away their bows and arrows, and then twisted their arms and held them captive.

"You are so courageous." After hearing what his men said, Sheng Quan was heartbroken: "My nephew, it's not that I want to embarrass them. You've seen it. It's them who want to murder the imperial official. I want to take this person first. Walk."

With a few more hostages in hand, both Li Yan and County Magistrate Chen can only speak for him.

He felt that the Li family and the Chen family should be able to help him settle the matter of his absence from duty and private correspondence with the rebels.

The Sheng family father and son both breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other. "Slow down!" Chen Yibin only hated that his attention was focused on the Sheng family and his son, and he didn't notice the trouble caused by the Xiao sisters.

But he couldn't just watch the three girls of the Xiao family being taken away, so he stood up and clasped his fists at him and said, "Sir Shanda, it's difficult for the girl's family to travel, so why don't you ask your nephew to come with you?"

"Haha, don't worry, nephew, I will definitely entertain them well and will never neglect them. I will go back to the guardhouse and wait for you to bring me good news."

He had already decided to send a message to the Chen family later.

He remembered that his cousin's aunt was married to Governor Chen, and King Jin'an had previously shown favor to the Chen family in order to appease Governor Chen.

However, Governor Chen's children were not well-connected, and they had many concubines and concubines in the backyard. Now they only have one son and two daughters, and the concubine was promised to Li Yan.

Governor Chen also has few children, and even his concubines are treated better than ordinary legitimate daughters.

The wife hasn't even entered the house yet, but the Xiao girl already has Li Yan's flesh and blood, so Governor Chen will definitely not let it go.

You don't even have to do it yourself, the Chen family will take care of the Xiao family.

Sheng Quan stood up: "Let's go!"

Originally, he was planning to rest for the night before leaving, but now the situation was urgent and he had to return to the guardhouse as soon as possible.

None of the Xiao family wanted to see their granddaughters being taken away by the Sheng family. They all rushed forward and started fighting with the soldiers: "Let them go. If you want to catch them, catch me!"

The officers and men of the guard station are not like those police officers who can talk easily if they have money.

They have all fought in battles, seen blood, and killed people. They will not show mercy when they do it. With a flick or a push, they throw out the Xiao family and the Lin family sisters who are entangled with them, and kick them. Got out.

Fortunately, Mr. Chen was quick enough to catch the pregnant Liu, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Of course, Boss Xiao only dared to rush over to express his sympathy when he saw Mrs. Liu being held by Chen Er. Anyway, he felt that his three daughters could escape unscathed after making a fortune from the Sheng family last time. This time He can definitely run out.

He really wanted to chop off Chen Er's claws.

You damn boy, don’t you know whether men and women are intimate or not?

Xiao Xiao saw that his second uncle was still very practical and had to get up quickly, so he wanted to rush over and said quickly: "Okay, second uncle, don't come over. Wait until Brother Yan comes back and let him come and save us."

Didn't the second uncle notice that their father was still lying on the ground?

Xiao Laoer stopped when his niece called him, and looked at them with red eyes.

The Sheng family father and son walked out first. Before they reached the gate, they saw someone striding in from outside.

Xiao Xiao had the sharpest eyes. When he saw that Li Yan and the others were back, he was afraid that his lie would be exposed, so he quickly spoke first: "Brother Yan, husband, you are back. If you don't come back, the baby in my belly and I will die." They will all be rubbed to death.”

If the Sheng family knew that she was not Li Yan's woman, the Sheng family would probably not let the Xiao family go.

She had also discovered before that there seemed to be something wrong with Sheng Yang's right hand. Whether he was drawing a knife or hitting someone, his right hand never moved.

Moreover, there were several obvious scars from the corners of his eyes to the temples, like a few centipedes settling on his face.

Even if he deliberately covered it up with his hair, he couldn't hide it.

She suspected in her heart that this was the biggest loss Sheng Yang had ever suffered in his life, and he would definitely not let it go.
