After the Hou family's mistress was reborn, the entire Hou family suffered disaster

"With your current status, you still need to be scolded?" Jiang Fuyue was very surprised.

Shen Chuan had already reached the fourth rank three years after entering the capital, and was deeply trusted by the emperor. Jiang Fuyue thought that Shen Chuan should be in the limelight and speak his mind about everything, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to scold him?

"Isn't that right?" Shen Chuan didn't seem to care, and even smiled, "After all, he is Lord Shangshu, and he is older than me."

He had a smile on his face, but his voice was inexplicably eerie.

Jiang Fuyue didn't know much about the affairs in the court, and she didn't know which two ministers were following Shen Chuan this time. Naturally, she couldn't say anything more and could only remain silent.

Shen Chuan raised his eyes and glanced at her. Seeing that her expression was as usual, he felt slightly relieved.

It was because he relaxed that he almost showed his true nature.

Fortunately, Jiang Fuyue didn't seem to notice.

After a pause, Chuan Shen said, "I'll be leaving soon."

Although he came a few days earlier than the main force, he couldn't be idle these days. He had to go out more and explore other news.

And there are advantages to him acting alone.

Some information may not be discovered when the large forces arrive.

Jiang Fuyue nodded.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

"...The Liangzhou Temple Fair will be held in a few days. Do you have time to hang out with us?" Shen said.

Jiang Fuyue was startled: "I am free, but you..."

"That's it," Shen Chuan said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will take care of everything."

Jiang Fuyue nodded.

They had almost eaten by now. Jiang Fuyue wanted to go back for a nap, so Shen Chuan got up and left. After returning to the inn and calling Chen Jinxuan, the two of them went straight to the city gate.

"Shouldn't we go to the government office first to inquire about the situation?" Chen Jinxuan yawned and said, "The government is doing such nonsense, and you don't care about it?"

"I have a general understanding of the situation in Liangzhou City," Shen Chuan said without slowing down, "What's more, Wei Ze is still in the city."

When he mentioned Wei Ze, Chen Jinxuan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

He has always heard that Shen Chuan's city is deep and difficult to get along with.

He had met Shen Chuan several times before, but he didn't know whether the city was deep or not. It was true that they were difficult to get along with.

And there was really no expression on this man's face.

Occasionally he smiles, but it's the kind of smile that makes people feel scared.

When he arrived in the city last night, it was the first time he saw Shen Chuan unable to control the expression on his face.

This shows how outrageous the news coming from Wei Ze is.

That’s it, do you still dare to believe it?

"...I'll be back in the evening, no problem."

It wasn't until Shen Chuan in front said this that Chen Jinxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

That's it.

He didn't want to stay awake for several more days and nights.

After leaving Liangzhou City, the two went straight to Qicheng.

After entering the city gate, I found that the streets of Qicheng were dirty and messy, with very few pedestrians. The whole city was filled with an indescribable desolation.

Especially since they had just come out of Liangzhou, this place seemed even more desolate compared with the already bustling Liangzhou City.

The two of them walked around the street while looking for the location of the local government office.

"This city is so scary," Chen Jinxuan sat on his horse and looked around, "It's just like the deserted villages we saw when we came here..."

Shen Chuan pursed his lips and looked around with a pair of phoenix eyes, but said nothing.

indeed.

Even scarier than those villages.

After all, the gate of Qicheng is guarded by many strong men with swords.

People in the village outside are so hungry that they can still leave. Although they don’t know whether the road ahead is life or death, they still have a choice. But how can people in this city who have been hungry for a long time break through the blockade of those strong men? Woolen cloth.

I'm afraid I'll have to suffocate to death in this city.

This Liu family is more rampant than they thought.

The two walked along the main street for a long time before finally seeing two government officials patrolling the street.

These government officials were also fat and strong, and looked like the strong men at the gate of the city.

Shen Chuan and Chen Jinxuan looked at each other.

When Chen Jinxuan was about to speak, the two yamen servants saw them and started shouting: "Hey! You two! Where did you come from? Come down quickly! How is it unbecoming to sit on such a high platform?!"

Chen Jinxuan raised his eyebrows, and released the long whip that he had folded into several sections to serve as a riding whip. It hit the ground with a snap, leaving a shallow dent.

Not to be outdone, the two yamen servants took out the long knives from their waists and pointed them at Chen Jinxuan: "What's the matter, you still want to spar with your grandpa?!"

"Yo?" Chen Jinxuan immediately turned over and dismounted.

He has not moved his body for nearly a month.

Sitting on a horse every day.

Sitting so hard that my body became stiff.

Chen Jinxuan stood firm and then remembered to turn around and look at Shen Chuan.

Shen Chuan raised his chin and looked away casually: "Be careful."

"Okay!" Chen Jinxuan's smile gradually became abnormal, and he rushed towards the two government officials with his bare hands.

The two government officials were not vegetarians either, so they rushed forward with the big swords in their hands.

As soon as they met each other, feeling the terrifying power suppressed by the other side, the confidence on the faces of the two government servants instantly turned to panic.

Chen Jinxuan held one in each hand and spun around in the street.

For a moment, Chen Jinxuan's hearty laughter mixed with the screams of the two government officials, and the scene was even humorous.

After a long time, Shen Chuan on the side saw that Chen Jinxuan was almost done having fun, and then said: "It's almost done."

After hearing this, Chen Jinxuan, who was laughing wantonly a second ago, suddenly became mute.

He stopped with his feet and retracted his arms, causing the two government officials to collide with each other.

The two yamen servants lay staggering on the ground with stars in their eyes, and kept screaming.

"Pull up." Shen Chuan said as he kicked the horse lightly and drove the horse forward.

He easily took the reins of the horse beside him.

Chen Jinxuan couldn't help but blinked when he saw his horse being taken away by him.

He lowered his head and looked at the two yamen who kept moaning, sighed quietly, lifted them up, and followed Shen Chuan forward.

Although these two yamen servants were fat and strong, they were not tall. Chen Jinxuan was two heads taller than the two of them. It didn't take much effort to carry them away now.

After walking a few steps forward, I saw the very imposing gate of the government office.

The two government officials were still in a daze and didn't even know what was going on.

"No, do you know the way?" Chen Jinxuan was a little confused.

"I don't recognize it." Shen Chuan raised the reins in his hand, and the horse obediently climbed up the stairs and entered the government office gate.

"How come you don't know the way..."

Chen Jinxuan muttered something, and when he saw Shen Chuan had already entered the gate, he quickly shouted at the top of his voice: "Then what should they do?!"

"Bring it up."

Ahead, Shen Chuan didn't stop at all.

Hearing this, Chen Jinxuan had no choice but to weigh the person up again, like a sack, and carry it in.
