Chapter 101 Revenge, Entering Taizhou

"Ah!"

Wang Wan'er, who had already turned around, paused for a moment and just sneered, without any intention of turning back. After a moment, she started again: "Xiao Lian, let's go find the messenger."

"What do you mean? Wan'er, you..."

Hearing that they were going to find the chief, Shen Yishan raised his head suddenly. Wouldn't she be exiled with them again? The reason why he didn't strongly oppose it before was because he knew that she would be exiled with them. At that time, he just needed to let the eldest son coax her more. But he didn't expect...

"Nothing to do with you."

Now that she is sober, how could she not see their little thoughts?
Wang Wan'er sneered and glanced at him, then left with Wang Xiaolian. At this point, the farce was almost over.

"What did you do?"

At the fence on the second floor, Shen Xiangwan, with her long hair still hanging loose, turned her head and looked at Wei Chengyi. Although Shen Xiangdong and Shen Xiangyue were indeed very stupid, she believed this time that they were framed. Who would be so eager to do vocal exercises right after recovering from an illness? Besides, Shen Xiangdong still had an injury on his leg, and Shen Xiangyue's injury should not be light either. Moreover, she was very ambitious. How could she be interested in Shen Xiangdong, who was also exiled and destined to have no achievements in this life?
"No."

He's not that boring yet.

Wei Chengyi shook his head and looked past him at Qingying. The latter understood and immediately stepped forward and said, "Madam, it was Wang Xiaolian who did it. To be more precise, it should be Wang Waner's revenge."

In order to ensure the safety of the prince and his men, they would carefully check any unusual places. Not long after the county magistrate and others left last night, Wang Xiaolian's men found the officials of the post station and asked them to drug Shen Xiangdong and Shen Xiangyue. It would be best if someone caught them in bed early in the morning to prove their affair. This is why their door was not closed.

Considering that the woman still dared to covet the prince and was always making trouble for the princess, they did not try to stop her and even secretly added fuel to the fire.

"Really?"

Looking back at the departing backs of Wang Wan'er and Wang Xiaolian, Shen Xiangwan curled the corners of her lips slightly. She actually admired her a little. However, she was still a little too kind. If she could get Shen Yishan and Shen Xiangnan, father and son, to bed together, then a four-person battle... hehe... just thinking about that scene is exciting, isn't it?
Looking at her excited profile, as if he had guessed something, Wei Chengyi laughed and shook his head. Qingying couldn't help but shuddered, secretly warning herself not to offend women, otherwise, she would die in the future without knowing how.

The morning farce was over quickly, the weather had cleared up, and they had turned a disaster into a blessing, even their original cold was cured. The exile team had to continue their journey, but before that, Zhao Shan and Lao Zhou went to the government office again, and this time they successfully brought back three days of food rations for everyone. At around 9:00 p.m., the exile team, with only a hundred people left, set off again.

When the government is really willing to do something, its efficiency is still very high. When they left the city, Shen Xiangwan had already seen government officials distributing medicine to the people in the medicine shed they had built.

"They'll be fine."

Seeing that she was staring at the medicine shed, Wei Chengyi said in a deep voice.

"Hopefully."

Retracting her gaze to look at him, Shen Xiangwan leaned back against the carriage and said, "Next is Taizhou, right?"

"Well, the situation in Taizhou is probably not very optimistic."

Nodding, Wei Chengyi quietly revealed what he knew. At first he thought Wanwan was also reborn. After observing for a period of time, he had overturned his guess. She should know something about them from somewhere, but not much. As for the details, he had to wait until she trusted him enough and told him in person.

"That's normal. The entire Binzhou was hit by the disaster. How could the neighboring Taizhou be spared?"

Earthquakes are never local events. Some of the larger epicenters can even spread hundreds or thousands of miles. Binzhou is at the epicenter, and the neighboring Quanzhou and Taizhou are naturally not much better. It rained heavily for three consecutive days. The water level in the river in Chengjiang County rose sharply, and the ground was almost entirely muddy. The exile team was very slow and did not arrive at Jiaozhi County, the most marginal county of Taizhou, until almost twilight in the afternoon. As they expected, the disaster here was also very serious. Most of the people were displaced and had to flee with their families.

Moreover, because the distance was very close and a wide river ran through both counties, an epidemic also broke out in Jiaozhi County. Along the way, Shen Xiangwan and his companions could see corpses lying all over the roadside, and the fleeing refugees were coughing violently, as if they were going to cough out their lungs.

Although they all took medicine to prevent the epidemic, who can guarantee that they will not get infected again?

Seeing this situation, everyone huddled up and stayed as far away from the refugees as possible, for fear of being infected again, including Zhao Shan and Lao Zhou who were driving the ox cart at the front of the team.

“Another county where officials are doing nothing.”

Along the way, Shen Xiangwan had seen this situation too many times. He felt as if he had become numb. He could only lower his head and exhale a deep breath: "Go find the messenger. We can't enter the city."

Judging from the spread of the epidemic here, if they enter the city today, it is not certain whether they can get out smoothly tomorrow. The Dog Emperor's Dragon Shadow Guards have already begun to act. As long as they are sure that they are not dead, they will definitely kill them one after another. They can't keep delaying on the road like this, and must rush to Chenzhou as soon as possible.

Only when they have a stable and long-term place to stay will they be able to truly fight back.

"Ah."

Wei Chengyi understood her meaning and did not object. The donkey cart soon caught up with Zhao Shan and Lao Zhou. The two put forward their suggestions. Zhao Shan and Lao Zhou were obviously a little scared and agreed without much thought. However, after their discussion, the team did not need to go into the city, but Zhao Shan and Lao Zhou had to go.

The reason.

It was very simple. They had to deliver the prescription to the county magistrate. Of course, the prerequisite was that the county magistrate had to agree to let them collect medicinal materials and boil medicine to provide free relief to the people, just like what Chengjiang County did.

Compared with the buildings in various counties of Binzhou that collapsed to varying degrees, Jiaozhi County was better off. The exile team found an uninhabited yard in a village outside the county seat to settle down. However, what was more troublesome was that due to the floods caused by the earthquake and the heavy rain for several consecutive days, a layer of water accumulated on the ground inside and outside the yard, and everyone's feet were soaked in water.

"Do you think Zhao Shan and his team can convince those officials?"

Sitting on the bicycle frame and chewing on dry food, Shen Xiangwan casually asked that if those officials dared to refuse, she wouldn't mind another round of zero-yuan shopping tonight, not even leaving them with underwear.

"can."

Wei Chengyi gave an affirmative answer without much thought.

"That's true. No official is stupid."

A little thought will tell you why he is so confident. Shen Xiangwan no longer hesitated. At nearly 11 p.m., Zhao Shan and Lao Zhou finally drove the ox cart back. As they expected, the officials and military of Jiaozhi County agreed and readily provided them with five days' worth of dry food. In the next few days, even if they did not go into the city, they would not have to worry about food.
