Chapter 79
Seeing that Shen Qingyue had no objection, Qinglong got out of the carriage again and tried to talk to them a few words.

"It's okay to give money, but let us know the reason for giving money."

"That will cost more."

"..."

Shen Jiaojiao finally understood why they were not sanctioned for being so arrogant. If they thought about going this way, they could just give money.

Furthermore, big shots rarely come to such remote places, and even if they do, it doesn't matter if they hear about the money. Can people with official positions like them be short of this kind of money?
The words of the ordinary people can't afford to offend them.

However, in case of encountering narrow-minded officials, it is easy to be caught by the pot.

Since they are fine, it means that there are actually people behind them protecting them.

Shen Jiaojiao had an idea, and said, "I am the daughter of the Zhen Guo Mansion, and I was traveling with my brother. I came here by accident and found the scenery beautiful. I wanted to rest here for a while. I don't know how much toll I have to pay. Give Way?"

The people outside were obviously stunned for a while when they heard the delicate female voice, and then replied after a few seconds, "Are you really from the Zhen Guo Mansion?"

"Exactly." Qinglong took out the jade pendant from Zhen Guo Mansion.

Unexpectedly, the group of vicious and strong men immediately changed their faces, and they were very friendly, "Damn, why didn't you tell me earlier that you are from the Zhen Guo Mansion, if we knew it was the young lady from the Zhen Guo Mansion passing by, we wouldn't stop us. "

As a courtesy, the master Shen Qingyue came out to talk with them, "Do you know my father?"

"Hahaha, it's more than acquaintance. We went to the battlefield with the general, but we retreated after being injured."

Shen Qingyue looked at the strong man in the lead, he was a middle-aged man, with one leg limping and one arm broken, he should be a retired soldier.

"Then why did you do this kind of thing..." His heart was a little touched, and he couldn't understand their behavior.

Shen Jiaojiao almost understood, no wonder no one can suppress them, there should be many soldiers who retired with honor in their ranks, if they didn't make a big mistake, no one would dare to make things difficult on purpose.

What's more, this place is not far from the capital, and it is not impossible for them to go to the Zhen Guo Mansion to seek asylum.

In the past years, many people went to the Zhen Guo Mansion to seek asylum. Generally, the people in the Minor Mansion would take care of it without telling the master.

The man lowered his head in shame, "Hey, life is hard. The middle-aged men in our village went to serve in the army and fought in the army. They were crippled and died, and finally returned home. But look at us, we can only rely on pension money. Tighten your pants and get by."

Almost all of them who can retire lose their ability to work. The pension money can fill the temporary vacancy in the family, but it cannot fill it for a lifetime.

In order not to become a burden to the family, they had no choice but to take a slant.

Shen Qingyue had never seen such a scene before, and was shocked in his heart.

He always thought that those who retired would have a good life when they received a sum of pension money, but he didn't expect that they would be forced to take the road of robbery.

"Many brothers have no chance of coming back alive, you are like this..." The words Shen Qingyue wanted to accuse stuck in his throat.

"We know that our behavior is wrong, but we can't help it. Our family members have to live, and our children have to live!"

The strong man covered his face and wept bitterly, and when he mentioned his dead brother, he couldn't hide his fragile side after all.

Shen Jiaojiao knew that Shen Qingyue's mood was a little abnormal after returning, and she might think too much when encountering such a scene, so she leaned out of the carriage.
