It wasn't until he couldn't hear the sound that the boss of the gambling house tore off the sack on his head and got up from the ground with difficulty.

Staggered out of the alley, two of his subordinates also came over, saw him beaten, and hurried to inquire about the situation.

"Go and check if there is a person named Liu Qiang in the gambling house recently, who dares to shadow me behind my back, and send two people to make someone for me."

The two men were ordered to send the person home safely before proceeding to deal with it.

The next day, Shen April took Xiaomei and Wang Lianggang to approach the academy, and heard the students gathering in twos and threes to discuss something.

She approached, and learned from a few words that it seemed that there had been a murder in the town last night, and that a man had been killed, and that the two men who were with him had not been spared.

One had a broken arm and one had a broken leg.

But no matter how the official asked, the two of them insisted that they didn't see who it was.

……

"Are you really thinking about sending my Yunshu to Fucheng?" The Qi clan was greatly surprised when they heard Shen Yueyue's words.

Qi Yunshu also came back to his senses for a long time.

"Auntie, in fact, he was injured to save me. My eldest sister said that others have helped us, and this kindness must not be forgotten. Besides, you have to talk about friendship. I have thought about it, my family has an ox cart, and it is convenient to send Brother Qi to Fucheng, so that he will not delay his exam. ”

Qi didn't expect her son to lie to her, but her son was trying to save people, and she had nothing to complain about.

Now the whole family is worried about the exam, and Shen March's proposal makes her very excited.

"Can this be done?"

"Auntie, we fled all the way here, and we have heard and seen a lot, and it will definitely be no problem to have me with Brother Qi."

Thinking of their experiences along the way, the Qi clan felt that no one was safer than Shen March to accompany them.

"Then there's you. I'm going to pack up his things and leave two days early, so you can get there earlier and rest for two more days. ”

……

On the other hand, because Zhou Dunzi was seriously injured and was not suitable to follow everyone to rush with him, Yang Chuan left Cheng Xiaoliang to take care of him, and waited until everyone came back to pick him up in the town.

And so the next day, the team with two less people continued on its way.

The farther south I went, the more people begged in tattered clothes on the road.

"It's spring now, and it stands to reason that the situation of the people should be much better than before, why are there still so many begging people?" Someone asked puzzled.

"Years after years of war, we all need money, where does this money come from? It is not from the common people. Taxes and miscellaneous taxes are getting higher and higher, and many people simply stop farming. The person passing by next to him explained helplessly.

Some people work hard for a year, and in the end they may still owe money to the imperial court, so many people abandon their land and come out to beg.

Several people did not speak, and the atmosphere around them was a little gloomy for a while.

"Where are you going?" The passer-by looked at the goods on the car and asked curiously.

Shen Gui'an replied: "Jiangzhou Mansion." ”

"Then be careful, this road is not smooth, a convoy was robbed just two days ago, and the woman and the child did not let go, alas."

Not long after the man had finished speaking, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and in the dust, a group of horse bandits were galloping in their direction.

"The horse bandits are coming, everyone run!" Pedestrians on the road saw them and fled in all directions in fright.

Some people don't even want the things on their bodies, for fear that they will die in their hands a moment later.

But how can two legs run more than four legs, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen or twenty horse bandits surrounded Shen Xinyue and them in the middle.

"What's in the car?"

Shen Xinyue didn't answer, and Yang Chuan stepped forward: "Herbs." ”

Hearing the word herbs, the horse bandit leader's eyes lit up.

"Stuff stays."

As he spoke, he swept to Shen Xinyue next to the carriage.

Although she is dressed as a man for convenience, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a little lady.

"This girl is good-looking, leave a few brothers happy for a while, and as for the others, they will all be killed." The bandit leader said and drew the knife from his waist.

In normal times, it would be nothing to listen to them fart a few words, but they actually hit Shen Xinyue with their ideas.

Yang Chuan pulled out the big knife placed under the car, rushed to the horse bandit leader with an arrow step, and slashed it hard.

His movements were so fast that the bandits didn't have time to react.

A horse neighed out, and the horses under the crotch of the leader of the horse bandits were cut off by him.

As the horse fell to the ground, the leader of the bandits was thrown out uncontrollably.

He got up from the ground in embarrassment, spit out the dust in his mouth, raised his knife and pointed at this Yang Chuan, and said angrily:

"Master has changed his mind, this person is kept for me, I will slowly torture him, so that his life is worse than death!"

With that, the people rushed towards Yang Chuan.

Seeing this, the other horse bandits also drew their knives and slashed at Shen Gui'an.

Shen Xinyue kicked on the wheel, her body was in the air, and at the same time, the long knife in her hand slashed at a horse bandit, knocking the opponent down, her knee was on the opponent's back, and her backhand was another knife, wiping the opponent's neck.

All the actions are done in one go, without any mud and water.

Shen Gui'an, who was not far away, raised his hand and grabbed the other party's wrist with force, and dragged the other party off the horse with a strong pull.

The two sides were at war together, and even though there were only eight of them, they couldn't deal with it.

After Shen Xinyue eliminated another horse bandit, she turned around and saw that someone not far away was preparing to attack Shen Ergou, and before she had time to think about it, the long knife in her hand was thrown out quickly, and it was pierced in the man's chest.

Seeing that there were not many people left, the horse bandit leader was unwilling, took out a dagger from his arms, and stabbed the horse in front of the carriage hard.

The horse was in pain, went crazy in an instant, and rushed forward.

It also had a cart full of herbs behind it, and if it got lost, it would be a big loss.

Yang Chuan didn't think about it, ran a few steps with all his strength, and then jumped onto the wheel, grabbed the reins, and pulled hard to stop the crazy horse from stopping.

Seeing Yang Chuan chasing the carriage away, the horse bandit leader quickly climbed onto the back of a horse and prepared to flee.

How could Shen Xinyue let him go easily.

Quickly grabbed another horse next to him, supported the saddle with one hand, and leaped forward.

"Second brother, I'll leave it to you here!"

Quickly chase the bandit leader and go.

Shen Gui'an wanted to call someone, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the person was gone.

Shen Xinyue ran out after the person for a while, and seeing that there was no one around, she quickly took out the pistol from the space.

Her body jolted from time to time as the horse ran, but her hand holding the gun was steady.

Holding the reins in one hand and aiming at the trigger with the other.

Bang bang bang, after the machine gun, several people and bandit leaders who were still running fast in front of them fell off their horses one after another.

There were also a few followers who escaped by chance, and Shen Xinyue didn't want to chase anymore.

Horses are a good thing, more than a dozen in a row, dressed in strings and brought back by her.
