Hearing this, Shen Chen immediately looked at Wang Shou.

It goes without saying who will say this.

Wang Shou smiled bitterly frequently, shrunk his neck and tried to reduce his sense of existence, and hid behind Du Bu.

Lin Xi watched the six roads and listened to all directions, and when he saw this, he waved his hand in Shen Chen, and asked keenly: "Is there a problem with the identities of those people?" ”

Shen Chen looked at her and didn't speak for a while, but looking at the children running out of the house, he first asked Wang Shou and Du Bu to take the children out to play.

This made Lin Xi even more puzzled.

Shen Chen immediately pulled her to sit down under the shed, poured her a bowl of hot water for her to drink, and then said, "It's a bit of a problem, they were fugitives from the government before." ”

"Poof—"

The hot water in Lin Xicai's mouth squirted out, and he coughed in surprise at Shen Chen's words.

Shen Chen hurriedly got up and patted her on the back.

"Drink slowly, I'm not telling you, what are you anxious about?"

"Is this a question I can't ask in a hurry?"

Lin Xi finally slowed down, looked at Shen Chen dumbfounded, and said, "Really? Are they really fugitives? ”

Shen Chen's face was a little helpless, and he bowed his head and said, "It's true." They were not locals, they had fled from the north a few years earlier during the turmoil. It's because the people here don't recognize them, they usually live in the mountains, occasionally go down the mountain to make a living, and sell some prey for money, so they live a good life. ”

Lin Xi swallowed, "What's the matter with the fugitive?" What crimes did they commit? Is it serious? ”

Shen Chen said: "It should be a little serious. ”

"What do you mean should?? What the hell is it? ”

Shen Chen pondered for a moment and said calmly: "There are six people in total, and the leader is originally a military household. A few years ago, during the war in the north, his city was surrendered by his defending generals, so that the rebels entered the city and slaughtered the people. His family also suffered. Later, although the imperial court sent people to take back the city, it was useless, and the generals at that time were not severely punished. ”

"And then?"

Lin Xi was angry.

Shen Chen said: "This person wanted to kill that general, and hung his head outside the mansion gate. That night, he was wanted by officials, and he fled thirty miles outside the city, where he was captured and captured. But on the day he was sentenced to beheading, the people who were not used to seeing dead generals robbed the court and rescued him. ”

Lin Xi: "At that time, there must have been a lot of people from the government, and the people could even be rescued??" ”

Shen Chen said: "Not only them, but many local people are helping them evade the government's search and let them escape from the chaos." The families of those people died in the war, they were all alone, and finally they fell into the grass and went all the way south, until they passed through here and settled in Huming Mountain. ”

Lin Xi understood. The general who abandoned the city and the people was unpopular, so a person came out and killed him, and the people regarded him as a hero, and of course they would not watch the government behead him.

Lin Xi also felt very embarrassed.

In troubled times, how can there be eggs? Most of the tragedy happened in places she couldn't see.

Lin Xi asked again, "Then how did you meet them?" ”

Shen Chen explained: "A few years ago, the county yamen received a report, saying that when he passed through Huming Mountain, his money was robbed. The people in the yamen were not familiar with Huming Mountain, and when they heard that I had been in it a few times, I went. Later, I met them in the mountains. ”

Lin Xi felt that it sounded a little familiar, "How is this a bit similar to the legend of Huming Mountain?" ”

"That's it." Shen Chen said, "The person who reported the case at that time was a showman, who had studied hard for many years and was ready to scrap for several years, so he brought a lot of entanglements. Unexpectedly, after being discovered by his companion, his companion had a bad idea, drugged him to stun him, and swept him away. ”

Later, not long after Xiucai woke up, he met those people in the mountains, thinking that they were killing people and robbing money, and went to report the crime after fleeing from Huming Mountain. After I took over, I found that they were not murderers, and they had no motive or time to commit the crime. And those people were familiar with the mountains, and they helped to recover Xiucai's companions. ”

Lin Xi listened fascinated, "And then what?" ”

Shen Chen looked at her as if she was like the story in the obedient book, and couldn't help but be a little funny, and said: "When I found it, those companions had almost squandered Xiucai's coils, and they also destroyed Xiucai's discs. At that time, the war had just ended, the imperial court was strictly controlled, there was no document disc, Xiucai could not go to the capital, and he was not entangled in his body. Xiucai was quite shocked and decided to stay and make some money before leaving. ”

Lin Xi asked, "Is he gone now?" ”

Shen Chen recalled, "I left two years ago. I remember that the man was very diligent and learned. If you look at the preparation for hard study, you can just catch up with this year's scientific examination. ”

Lin Xi asked curiously, "What's his name?" ”

Could it be another help for Shen Chen in the officialdom in the future?

Shen Chen shook his head: "I haven't asked, I only have a few relationships with him." ”

Lin Xi sighed, Shen Chen's temperament, she really couldn't expect him to go to her heart. I guess I left it behind after the gang at that time.

She said: "It is rumored that this show is crazy and is missing, so it can be seen that the rumors cannot be fully believed." ”

Rumors and rumors turn bad as they go.

Shen Chen hummed, "However, it's good to have these rumors." In this way, not too many people will enter Huming Mountain, and it will also be beneficial to those people. ”

Lin Xi said curiously: "Shen Chen, you know that they are fugitives, why do you ......?"

"Why didn't you report it to the government?" Shen Chen said.

Lin Xi nodded.

Those people are now able to stay in Huming Mountain, and the people from the yamen didn't go, no need to ask, it must be Shen Chen who informed the yamen and deliberately concealed their existence.

Shen Chen said: "I don't think they did anything wrong. Legal reasoning or error, reasonableness should be. ”

As he spoke, his eyes turned cold, "If I had been present at the time, I would have ...... if I had met the kind of general who surrendered without a fight and caused the people to suffer."

Shen Chen didn't say the rest of the words.

Lin Xi shuddered inexplicably, realizing that if that kind of general fell into the hands of Shen Chen, eighty percent would end miserably.

Shen Chen probably noticed Lin Xi's reaction, and immediately held her hand, pinched her palm, and the coldness that lingered around her gradually dissipated.

He said, "If you don't want to use them, I'll find someone else." In this way, it is no longer suitable for growing red peppers in the mountains. I still have a place, but it's in Hai County. ”

"No, it's good to use them." Lin Xi shook his head and said.

It sounds like a good hand who can bear hardships and stand hard work, and such a person planted red peppers for her, and she earned it.

Shen Chen hesitated: "But now, you already know the identity of the fugitives......

Lin Xi laughed and said, "What happened to the fugitives?" The emperor is far away, and Huming Mountain is so remote, can the people from the Northern Pregnant Government still find here? Besides, they haven't done much wrong, so why can't they work as ordinary people to make money? ”
