Chapter 158 Where did the imperial envoy go?

"Why? You don't want to get away with it?" Murong Cong frowned.

Thinking of King Xi's advice, he still patiently said, "If you don't think about yourself, you should also consider your grandfather. He is old and frail. He may not be able to survive in Lingnan."

"No, we won't accept the order." Tang Zhan refused without saying anything else.

Tang Xiaolin also said: "Zhan'er is right, we will not accept this decree."

"Bold, you actually disobey His Majesty's imperial edict?"

The people who came with Murong wielded weapons and wanted to kill their ancestors and grandchildren. Tang Ranran was so frightened that she cried: "Don't kill my grandfather, don't kill my brother."

Li Rong couldn't help but persuade: "Master Murong, I think you can listen to why Tang Xiaolin and Tang Zhan didn't accept the order before killing them."

Murong Cong snorted: "No matter what the reason is, not accepting the order is treason."

Ignoring Li Rong's advice, he waved his hand: "Kill."

Xie Anfeng frowned beside him, what on earth is going on? How do you say killing means killing?

Xie Yanyan had been standing in front of the window watching, but at this time she had lowered her head and poured flour into the bowl, added some cold water, knocked four eggs in, beat them into a paste, and added salt, pepper, and allspice.

Peel the remaining pieces of tender lotus root, cut into thin strips, add them to the batter, and prepare the fried lotus root clips.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside, followed by several "clicks" and "rumblings" of thunder.

In full view of everyone, the corridor of the Chariot and Horse Inn was struck by lightning.

A gust of wind suddenly came, making people unable to stand firmly and unable to open their eyes.

When everyone was hiding with their heads on the ground, they heard Murong Cong shout loudly: "Pull quickly..."

His words disappeared directly into the wind.

After the strong wind passed, everyone was shocked to find that a corner of the corridor had collapsed where Murong and his group had been standing.

The group of people who wanted to kill Tang Xiaolin and Tang Zhan were all gone.

Xie Anfeng couldn't help it and ran out of the inn to take a look.

Xu Wenrong and Li Rong both went out to see. Murong Cong and his group's carriages and horses were there, but the people were missing! !

The whole inn was nervous at the beginning, but now they are looking at each other. What is going on?

Why did the thunderbolt suddenly fall from heaven? Why did the wind suddenly blow?
Where did Murong go from there?

Tang Zhan was also surprised. He was very close to Murong Cong, and the strong wind made it difficult for him to open his eyes, so he covered his face with his sleeves. He heard Murong Cong say "Ah" and when he opened his eyes again, the person was gone.

Everyone went back to their rooms, and Li Rong was worried.

Tomorrow, regardless of whether it’s sunny or rainy, we will continue heading south and cannot stop at Yongxing City.

Xie Yanyan ate the lotus roots he cooked for Liu Mingjie three times, keeping a bowl of each, and sent the rest back to Liu Mingjie.

Liu Mingjie was discussing today's events with Zhu Ba and the others uneasily. When he saw Xie Yanyan, he asked, "Miss Xie, have you seen what happened today?"

"No, I'm cooking."

"..."

Liu Mingjie was speechless. Watching Xie Yanyan leave coldly, his restless heart suddenly calmed down.

He scratched his head and said to Li Rong: "Boss, we should learn from Miss Xie. If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up. Murong Cong, it's none of our business. We are just little escort officers, sending prisoners to Lingnan is our responsibility, what else does it have to do with us?”

Zhu Ba now also admired Xie Yanyan. Thinking of the 1000 taels of silver that he had been deceived by Xie Xiangxiang, he said: "Don't look at Miss Xie San's deserted appearance. This person is the wisest. She doesn't care about anything, but she can't leave behind any good thing. Even though she is a prisoner, we will never be able to defeat her in the future."

Xie Yanyan, who couldn't stand up to anyone, was having lunch with his family.

The glutinous rice and lotus root are very sweet. Xiao Baozi and Song Linngling both like to eat it. Xie Lingyu also takes a few bites. Xie Anfeng, Xie Ning and Xie Yong all like cold vegetables and hot and sour soup with rice.

"We are leaving tomorrow. Boss, please pack up the carriage tonight and block it in front and back. Don't let the wind blow to the adults and children." "Third brother, you and Asheng follow Yan'er. Don't disturb your sister when she is doing things."

"What happened today is very strange. It is not our family's business. Don't get involved."

"The road may not be smooth. Boss, Wen Rong, our three weapons must not leave our bodies."

He had already greeted Li Rong and agreed that they should carry their weapons with them. After all, they had protected everyone not once or twice along the way.

They were getting ready to set off, but someone was crying at Datongpu.

The eldest wife of the Su family was starving and sick, and she was dying.

The two youngest sons of the Wu family also developed high fever.

Su Moqing came to beg Xie Yanyan: "Third Miss, please help me, my sister-in-law is dying."

"Did you find Li Rong?"

"Master Li, he has no money, no food and medicinal materials, and there is nothing he can do."

Xie Yanyan took him to find Li Rong.

Liu Mingjie said: "Miss Xie, don't worry about it. Who is not hungry? If you want to suffer, you have brought it on yourself. We can't raise them as ancestors and support them."

Li Rong said sincerely: "Miss Xie, you are still young. These prisoners are not ordinary people. They are pitiful now, but when they committed evil, did they ever think of the suffering of the people? Did they ever think of how pitiful the victims were?"

Li Rong meant that these prisoners did not deserve sympathy. They deserved what they were suffering now. He is not a god and has no obligation to support prisoners.

Xie Yanyan looked at Su Moqing, who was immediately ashamed.

He became the wife of Xie Yong and Xie Lingyu, and the Xie family never failed him. They gave him everything they had to eat, almost supporting his family.

Now I beg you to save my brother and his family. They won't say no to help, they will just do business. They will bring you to Jie Chai and ask Jie Chai to tell you.

It was still raining lightly outside, and the shopkeeper and a few merchants who went out to look at the road said that Prefect Yan had posted a notice.

"The government said that whoever can find a way to drain the water will be rewarded 1000 taels of silver."

"The water in the city is up to the waist, and the water in the moat is also full. There is no way to survive. The rice vat is empty, let alone vegetables."

The shopkeeper sighed.

Xie Yanyan looked at the gray sky. Drainage was nothing to her. She could get the 1000 taels of silver reward if she wanted. The key is, how to get it?
Her space is too unconventional and her things are too advanced. How can she hide it?

She can also turn a blind eye to the stagnant water. There is so much money in the space and there is no shortage of food. 1000 taels is nothing to her.

But she can still do good deeds that are capable of giving back to society without any effort on her part.

Moreover, Taishou Yan has some friendship with King Nanhai. When she helps Taishou Yan, it is equivalent to helping Zhou Shaoyu, which is a favor.

"Sister, can we leave tomorrow?" Xie Lingyu stood next to her, listening to other people's discussions.

"Do you want to leave?"

"It's not fun here at all. If Mr. Li hadn't taken care of his sister-in-law, I'm afraid we would have left long ago."

"Well, let's leave tomorrow."

She walked back indoors and found Xie Anfeng and Xu Wenrong: "Father, cousin, go and call Mr. Li and ask him to go to the notice wall and remove the list. I have a way to drain the water."

"Do you really have any idea?"

"Ah."

"What if he doesn't believe it?"

"If he doesn't believe it, you go and reveal the list."

Xie Anfeng's scalp is numb, should I reveal the results?
