Chapter 29: Fengyang County

Shen Qingyu was lying on the bed, recalling that Zhang Jing had said that he would rush on the road tomorrow and would definitely be able to enter the county before dark, so he felt relieved, otherwise her small body might fall apart in advance.

Then she thought about the man with the long sword on his back. He looked like a master. If she got familiar with him, could she let him show her his hands and let her see what a master of martial arts looked like?

After thinking about it so much, she turned over and fell asleep.

She was woken up by being shaken, and she didn't know who moved her on the carriage. Maybe she was so asleep that she didn't notice the change of position at all.

She rubbed her eyes and sat up. When she looked up, she saw Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Wen leaning on the carriage. Their faces were sallow and their eyes were black and blue. One look at them revealed that they must not have had a good rest.

"well!"

Shen Qingyu shook her head, expressing deep sympathy for Madam Zhong, but feeling a little distressed for Madam Wen.

She raised her hand to touch Wen's face, but was stopped midway.

Mrs. Wen held Shen Qingyu's hand in her palm and said, "Don't make trouble!"

It had just been one night, and her voice was already a little hoarse, and her tired look made her whole person look particularly weak.

Fortunately, we can reach Fengyang County today. If the journey had been longer, Shen Qingyu was sure that Wen's condition would have been even worse.

To be honest, Shen Qingyu came out only because she wanted to go out. Deep down, she didn't care much about Wen Liang's case, but seeing Wen like this, she couldn't help but sincerely hope that Wen Liang would be okay.

Under such circumstances, she had no choice but to calm down and rely on Wen's side.

Ding Xiang took out a still wet handkerchief from the cabinet in the carriage, wiped Shen Qingyu's face, and asked: "Girl, you slept too deeply this morning, and Madam didn't allow you to be called. Are you hungry now?"

On this bumpy carriage, Shen Qingyu had no appetite, so she shook her head.

The team moved forward in an orderly manner, moving faster than yesterday in order to reach the destination earlier.

It was near noon that Zhong asked the team to stop for a rest at Zhang Jing's suggestion.

Shen Qingyu was shaken to the point of dizziness, and Wen's face turned pale as she felt uncomfortable.

Ding Xiang rolled up the car curtain to let the outside wind blow in. Shen Qingyu took two breaths of fresh air and suddenly felt much better.

She didn't move much all morning. Seeing Wen's eyes closed, she probably wanted to take a break while the carriage was stationary, so she tiptoed out of the carriage and planned to do some exercise.

She moved her hands and feet, took a few deep breaths, and then she felt alive.

Looking around, I found that the guards and followers were not far away, surrounding the carriage in the center.

Only the man who appeared yesterday was sitting alone a little further away.

His sword is placed on the right side. Because it is much longer than an ordinary sword, it has a strong presence lying there.

"Can I see your knife?"

Shen Qingyu was so curious that she finally couldn't help but stepped forward to ask.

She had seen knives before, but never such a long knife. In her opinion, it must be difficult to use such a long knife. If she just wanted to choose a long weapon, wouldn't a gun be more suitable?

The man sitting alone was stunned when he heard the question. He looked at the speaker and found that she was a little girl with a round face. According to Zhang Jing, she was the daughter of Mr. Shen.

He looked at the young girl, her big and smart eyes looking at him curiously, and felt her eyes heat up, making him want to cry.

"This knife is very sharp, don't hurt the lady." He said, stretched out his hand and took the knife farther away.

Shen Qingyu wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Wen who noticed that she was not in the car was already calling her.

Alas! She really can't leave me for a moment.

Shen Qingyu sighed leisurely. Before she could say a few words to the hero in her eyes, she was summoned and had to turn around and go back.



The carriage rolled forward, and before dark, it arrived at its destination, Fengyang County.

At the gate entrance of the county town, there were actually officers and soldiers stationed there, and everyone entering the city had to be inspected.

Although Shen Qingyu had no chance to leave Shengyang in her previous life, she still wanted to know that she was checking the identity certificates of people coming and going.

Of course, the household registration system of the Daguan Dynasty cannot be compared with modern times, but it has its own set of household registration management that is applicable today.

There is no need to mention the tag attached to the identity certificate. Name, age, etc. are entered one by one on it.

The place of birth cannot be changed under normal circumstances, and people are not allowed to move without authorization. When traveling, you must issue an identity certificate to the local government office, which is often referred to as a road guide. From this perspective, it is considered perfect.

Shen Qingyu also thought that with so many people in her group, it would be troublesome to check them one by one. Unexpectedly, she showed the officers and soldiers at the city gate a sign and let them in.

What if there is a bad person among them? Shen Qingyu suddenly felt that her sense of security had suddenly disappeared.

As soon as her slightest worry arose, it was forcibly extinguished. After all, since this system exists, it must have been verified by time.

Then her attention was completely attracted by the lively scene in the county town. It was already getting dark, and lanterns were hung up in many places. Looking around, there were dots of red light everywhere.

Fengyang County is the nearest county under the jurisdiction of Shengjing, so the liveliness is naturally much better than that of ordinary county towns.

Because it is a county town, there are fewer restrictions than in Shengjing. All kinds of small commodities are placed on the stalls on the street, and there are food stalls at regular intervals, and the types of food are not repeated.

Most of them are mobile car stalls. They will start selling the cars as soon as they are put away. If they are in the way of others, they will push the cars to another place.

This kind of situation cannot be seen in Shengjing. The stalls in Shengjing must be approved first, and the location cannot be changed easily.

Shen Qingyu was a little excited, but this excitement only lasted for a while and disappeared when she saw Wen's tired face.

She always forgot that the purpose of coming out this time was not for fun, but for serious business. She had to reflect on herself. When Wen was so worried about Wen Liang, she really shouldn't have acted so irrelevantly.

Mrs. Zhong was worried about her husband. As soon as she settled in the inn, she sent a greeting card to the county government officials, asking to see Wen Liang tomorrow.

After Mrs. Zhong finished this matter, it seemed as if she had accomplished a major event. She said a few words to Mr. Wen and then went to rest.

After she walked away, Zhang Jingcai, who had not spoken much today, said: "Madam, why don't you send me another greeting card in your name and ask the county magistrate to tell you the details of this case."

His selfish intention was not to let Mr. Shen get involved in this matter, but he also knew that it was not realistic, so he had to take the initiative to do something less outrageous. Firstly, he could calm Wen's heart, and secondly, he could be more...

Good control of Mr. Shen's involvement in the case.

As he said, since Shen Zhongwen's name was used to inquire about the whole case, Wen probably would not use this identity to do other things.
