Chapter 191 I think he is absconding from the crime
Shen Chuning stretched out her hand and waved in front of Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin slowly came back to his senses, a hint of concern and worry in his eyes. He frowned slightly and said softly, "I just listened to Xuanying's detailed account of the many things that have happened recently. There are indeed many ways to deal with the Wang family. Why do you have to take such a risk by using yourself as bait?"
Shen Chuning seemed quite nonchalant. She curled her lips slightly, and said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "What's the big deal? I still have those secret guards you gave me. With them guarding me, I can do things so confidently and boldly."
Zhou Lin stared at Shen Chuning, his voice filled with helplessness. "I gave you secret guards to protect your safety, but I didn't mean to give you the courage to risk your own life without regard for your own safety! What if Wang Hongwen hides a few powerful masters around him, or uses some despicable means in secret, or if Xuanyou and Xuanying make any mistakes, what should I do then?"
Shen Chuning patted Zhou Lin's shoulder, a determined light flashing in her eyes as she consoled him, "Don't worry, Brother Zhou Er. Even if something unexpected happens, it's just my bad luck. It's definitely not your fault."
Zhou Lin quickly explained: "I'm not afraid of taking responsibility..."
Having said this, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he had unspeakable emotions in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he finally did not say what he wanted to say.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Wang Tiantian's wedding was less than a month away, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "So when are you planning to go to Fuping?"
Shen Chu stared at the gradually dying flames in the west and said softly, "We have to wait until the situation in the west is settled before we can set off."
……
The raging fire at the Wang family's house was like a ferocious fire dragon. It had been raging like a wild horse since the evening of the previous day. The scorching flames seemed to dye the entire sky red. It continued to burn until the afternoon of the next day, when it finally died out on its own after no more flammable materials were found in the west yard.
During this long and terrifying night, no one in the Wang family slept a wink. Their hearts were as anxious as if they were being burned by a raging fire.
At this moment, the hungry and sleepy Wang family members were faced with the huge problem of how to properly accommodate such a large population.
Wang Haiquan was extremely anxious. He knew that the current situation was urgent, so he hurried to find Shen Qinghe and anxiously proposed to temporarily house these homeless clansmen in the east courtyard of the governor's office.
He looked at Shen Qinghe expectantly, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes, but was rejected by Shen Qinghe without hesitation.
Shen Qinghe's reasons were very sufficient. He pointed helplessly at the limited space in the East Courtyard and said with a wry smile, "The East Courtyard really can't accommodate so many people from the Wang family."
After hearing this, Wang Haiquan couldn't help but feel annoyed, but he didn't give up. He pleaded again, "Then let the master of the Wang family and a few personal servants move in. We can find another way to accommodate the rest."
He held Shen Qinghe's hand tightly, his eyes full of pleading, hoping that the governor would show mercy.
But Shen Qinghe still ruthlessly refused. He said seriously, "I really don't trust the servants of the Wang family. What if they move in and accidentally cause trouble, and burn down the East Courtyard? What will I do then? I can't bear the responsibility."
Wang Haiquan had no choice but to leave the governor's office with a group of dejected and cursing clansmen.
Their hearts are filled with grievances and dissatisfaction, but they can do nothing about it.
Some people were placed in the vacant backyard of the Jinan prefectural government office. It was just a three-story courtyard, which was very cramped for the huge Wang family.
The remaining people were divided into several groups and settled in the large and small houses purchased by the Wang family in the city.
The fate of those concubines who had never given birth to children and were not favored was even more tragic. They were even ruthlessly sent to farms in the suburbs.
Because the Wang family has a large number of people, there are nearly a hundred masters alone, and each master is equipped with several servants. When you add it up, the total number of people in the entire Wang family actually reaches more than a thousand.
And in this city, there is indeed no other house as grand and spacious as the governor's office.
Shen Chuning waited for two whole days, but still didn't see any movement from the Wang family. She felt that this matter might just end up like this, quietly turning the page.
At this time, Zhenbaozhai finally delivered the set of ruby head ornaments that Wang Tiantian had been longing for.
Shen Chuning looked at the time carefully and felt that the time was almost right. She also wanted to go to Fuping early to check the specific situation, so she and Yun Shuxuan directed the maids to pack the luggage of several people.
On this day, the sun shone slightly on the gate of the governor's office. Several people from the Shen family were standing at the gate of the office, saying goodbye to Shen Qinghe with a slightly complicated expression.
At this moment, Wang Haiquan suddenly appeared with two teams of majestic yamen runners, who surrounded the carriage of several people in the middle like two thick walls.
The scene seemed like a fierce confrontation that was about to unfold.
"Mrs. Shen, you look so hurried and leave in such a hurry. Where are you going?" Wang Haiquan pushed aside the tightly stacked layers of yamen runners. His face, which originally looked a little gloomy, was now covered with even more gloom, and his eyes were fixed on everyone in the Shen family.
"Wang Haiquan, what on earth are you trying to do?!" Shen Qinghe saw this and suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart, and asked harshly.
However, Wang Haiquan seemed to have not heard Shen Qinghe's question at all. He still kept his eyes wide open and stared fiercely at Yun Shuxuan and Shen Chuning, as if there was no one else in his eyes. The air was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.
Yun Shuxuan took a step forward and said, "The daughter of the Fuping prefect is getting married, and I've been invited. I'm going to Fuping with my children to attend the wedding banquet and have some fun while I'm there."
Yun Shuxuan said this, looking at the yamen runners surrounding him and asked, "Does Lord Wang have any questions?"
"Going to a wedding banquet? I think he is fleeing for fear of punishment!" Wang Haiquan spat lightly.
