After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 350: Drinks Robbed

When they woke up early the next day, Shen Nanzhi was in high spirits, while the killer sisters looked a little haggard. They were too excited and did not sleep well.

I originally wanted to escape and save my life, but I didn't expect to meet the girl and destroy the Ruyi Sect's lair. I got my revenge, and I was excited and confused. How should I live in the future?

Seeing Shen Nanzhi, they knelt down together: "Miss, we are orphans, and we have nowhere to go. We beg you to take us in and serve you as slaves to repay your kindness."

Cheng Yuanyi lowered his head, feeling very lost, and he had nowhere to go.

Shen Nanzhi helped them up: "Since you want to follow me, I will be a good person and let you stay with me.

Don't talk about being a slave. I don't need you to sell your bodies. Live a good life, meet a man you like, get married, have a few children, have many children and grandchildren, live happily, forget the hard times in the past, and live the rest of your life well."

They wanted to say that they would never get married, but since the girl was so considerate of them, they nodded and said, "We understand. Please give us a name."

"Give me a name. It's such a headache for me to come up with a name."

Shen Nanzhi has already picked a few names. Shen Huai'en and Shen Ziling were both picked by her. She racked her brains for a while and remembered that a good friend of hers had a nice name. "Let's call one of you Anxin and the other Anning. It means peace and tranquility for the rest of your life. It has a good meaning."

"Thank you for the name, Master Night Owl, what are your plans?"

Cheng Yuanyi said pitifully: "I? Buy a few acres of land, plant crops, work from sunrise to sunset, and live an ordinary life.

I have lost all my martial arts skills and they are of no use to me. I am not as lucky as you are to have met a good master who can support me for the rest of my life."

He kept looking at Shen Nanzhi, hoping that she would take him in, but Shen Nanzhi didn't respond. He said, "Since you want to be a farmer, just settle down in our village. I happen to have land, enough for you to farm and fulfill your wish.

Let's leave first. Someone here will take over and dig out the blocked water source. This trip will be a complete success."

It was not easy to dig out the blocked water source. Shen Nanzhi used detonators and explosives to blast a big hole. The huge water pressure broke the dam, and the water rushed down, which looked spectacular.

Cheng Yuanyi and the others were so frightened that their faces turned pale, looking at her like a deity, "Girl, are you really not the goddess of the mountain? You can make thunder, this is not something that ordinary people can do, right?"

"Whatever you think is right, I won't explain it."

Shen Nanzhi shrugged and said that it was good to make them feel strong so that they would not betray him.

He returned to the original place, released Jiayi and the others, and splashed cold water on them one by one to wake them up. "It's time to get to work."

Jia Yi was confused, "Why did you oversleep again? Miss, it was my negligence."

"It's okay. Even tigers take naps. I saved a few people and destroyed the Ruyi Sect's base. Please contact your master and clean up the mess."

Jia Yi was confused. He just took a nap. Didn’t the girl do so many things in the past few months?

"Don't just stand there, get to work. There are many children there waiting for you to settle down."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Jiayi couldn't figure it out and didn't want to think about it anymore. He just wanted to get back to work. It wasn't the first time that the girl had been mysterious, so he had to get used to it.

No matter what Shen Nanzhi thinks, if she doesn't understand something, she has to keep it to herself. How can they force her to answer questions?

Just then Jialiu and Xiaohu came back and said happily, "I have already sent the message. Fortunately, Shen Guogong is nearby. He will come in person."

"No need, the girl has already taken care of it."

"Ah, no way? So soon, the girl is alone?"

"We also rescued a few assassins who escaped. We worked together from both inside and outside."

Jia Liu asked, "What about you? What did you do?"

Jiayi was embarrassed to say that they were asleep and hadn't done anything, so he just picked up the ready-made things. "Don't ask, just work, and let us clean up after it."

"Well, I'm still thinking about making a contribution, and now I have to clean up the mess."

"Do you enjoy riding a tiger?"

When this was mentioned, Jia Liu became happy: "It was really exciting, more comfortable than riding a horse. I have ridden a tiger before, which is enough to brag about for the rest of my life. Aren't you jealous?"

Jiayi was left waiting in the woods for two days while Shen Nanzhi and the others left first.

Duke Shen came with his men two days later. When he saw the base, he was very excited. "I can finally report to the Regent. I was so worried that my hair fell out. The Ruyi Sect is really good at hiding. They actually built such a large base in the mountains."

A said, "Please take your time to pack up, my lord. I have other tasks to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

"Okay, go do your thing."

He is the Regent's man, doing the work of a secret guard. It is not easy to win over Duke Shen. Watching him leave, he feels a little regretful. Why doesn't he have such a capable person under his command?

In other words, the Regent is good at managing his subordinates and has countless talented people under him. Duke Shen is a little impressed. No wonder the late emperor made him the Regent. It doesn't matter who is the emperor in this world, but he has to be the Regent.

……

When Shen Nanzhi went back, there were three more people. Anxin and Anning served her very attentively. It was their first time as a maid and they didn't feel unfamiliar at all. The main reason was that they sincerely hoped that Shen Nanzhi would live a more comfortable life. If she was careful in doing things, she would always do it well.

No matter what you do, you should put your heart into it and put all your heart into it. There is nothing you can't do well.

Making excuses like "you can't do it" definitely means you're not trying hard enough, especially when men say they can't do housework or cook. That means they haven't put enough effort into learning and are just making excuses. Shen Nanzhi doesn't believe they can't learn it.

I've gone a bit off topic, let's get back to the point.

Cheng Yuanyi was a bit of a drag, and Jiayi and the others were all taking good care of him, mainly because they wanted to find out the identity of this man.

But after asking all this time, I haven't been able to come up with any useful questions. How can I explain this to my master?

Think about it, the master is in a difficult situation. He just got rid of Yang Lingyu, and now here comes Cheng Yuanyi. The master will probably be depressed to death if he knows about this.

Cheng Yuanyi didn't understand why they looked at him with such complicated eyes. His identity was not complicated and he didn't have any martial arts skills. It was already pretty good for him to be able to follow Miss Shen to make a living. What were they thinking?

It was precisely the fact that he could follow Shen Nanzhi that Shen Huai'en feared the most.

Ignoring the thoughts of a few people, he finally returned home after traveling day and night. The lifeless atmosphere in the village was swept away and everyone was smiling happily. The water in the river suddenly increased and was enough for them to irrigate the rice. This year was another bumper year, how could he not be happy?

None of them thought it was Shen Nanzhi's credit. After all, what Shen Nanzhi did was beyond their imagination.

Shen Nanzhi is also very modest in her achievements and fame. This time she has gained a lot, which is enough for her to be secretly happy.

The whole village was busy with farm work. Shen Nanzhi saw that Cheng Yuanyi had almost finished raising the pigs, so he assigned him a job: "I'm in need of a manager now. You need to inspect the farm, collect rent, and handle farm affairs. Are you willing to do it?"

Cheng Yuanyi strolled around the village every day and learned a lot about her. He said, "Just a hundred acres of land? Do you need a handsome and capable person like me to manage it?"

Shen Nanzhi was speechless. How come this guy has such a narcissistic problem?

"Yingjun? Do you want to be a gigolo? I can introduce you to a rich woman. Let me take your pulse first to see how your kidneys are doing. Don't be bad at serving me or else you'll get kicked out."

Cheng Yuanyi shuddered: "No, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again, Miss Shen, you give the order."

"I have tens of thousands of acres of land in Qinghe County, as well as some shops. You go and keep an eye on them. Don't be lazy and reduce grain production. Can you do a good job?

Of course, I will pay you five taels of silver a month. You won't find such a good job anywhere else."

Five taels of silver was a lot of money, and ordinary people would fight for it. But Cheng Yuanyi was not short of money. He made a lot of money as a killer, and he kept it all in the bank. He must have tens of thousands of taels.

But he couldn't take it out for the time being, so he had to bow his head for the five taels of silver: "Okay, thank you for your trust, when will I leave?"

"Come back tomorrow after you've harvested the rice and planted the next crop."

"That's not several months?"

"Three months."

"alright."

Cheng Yuanyi accompanied Song Bojian there. Song Bojian wanted to check the accounts of the shop, so he went there at the right time and led Cheng Yuanyi there.

From now on, Shen Ziling will be the chief steward, responsible for matters surrounding Shen Nanzhi, and Cheng Yuanyi will be the second steward, responsible for the farmland and the manor. Shen Nanzhi will have more and more people under him.

After Cheng Yuanyi left, Jiayi and the others were the happiest. The girl did not keep him by her side, so it seemed that he was not important, and the master could sleep well again.

She had just been happy for a day when County Magistrate Fang came to see her with a serious look on his face, which did not seem like good news.

"County Magistrate Fang, what's the matter?"

"Miss Shen, something terrible has happened. Young Master Yang was escorting tribute to the capital and was robbed by bandits when he passed by Wuling Prefecture."

"What? Bandits are robbing tribute? Are they so rampant? Doesn't the prefect of Wuling Prefecture care?"

"Those bandits have been entrenched for a long time. If the prefect of Wuling could have wiped them out, he wouldn't have waited until today. You know some things."

Maybe it was a collusion between officials and bandits, and that group of bandits were raised by the Wuling prefect.

Yang Lingyu originally invited Shen Nanzhi to go to the capital with him, but she was busy with the water source issue and refused him. She asked Liao Baojia to prepare wine and drinks, and he and the city’s soldiers escorted her to the capital.

I didn't expect this to happen.

County Magistrate Fang had no other choice. After all, it was not his territory. He just came to inform her, "This batch of wine belongs to you, Miss Shen. Just think of it as a loss to avoid disaster. Second Young Master Yang should not be in danger of his life. After all, he is the son of the prefect. Prefect Yang will find a way to redeem him."

Shen Nanzhi's face darkened, "I don't want to lose this fortune. If they want to rob my things, they have to have an appetite to eat them.

Thank you, Lord Fang, for informing me. Wuling Mansion, right? I will handle it. You don’t have to worry about it.”

County Magistrate Fang advised: "Miss Shen, calm down and don't be impulsive. Those bandits are not the same as those in our county before. They are truly inhumane, killing people without hesitation. There are so many of them that they have become a force to be reckoned with."

"The court doesn't care?"

"The new emperor has ascended the throne, and the court is now supervised by the regent. There are other princes who do not obey the regent. The regent does not have the energy to suppress bandits now. Those bandits took advantage of this and dared to attack the tribute."

Shen Nanzhi understood that he was trying to cross the court's bottom line while the court was busy with its own affairs. Besides, it was just a tribute, not tax or something, so the court would definitely not intervene. It would be Shen Nanzhi who would have to suffer the consequences.

After seeing off County Magistrate Fang, Shen Nanzhi had to go out again.

This time, there are two sisters, Anxin and An Ning. They are killers by birth. They look weak but are ruthless. Those bandits are no match for them.

These two sisters are worthy of being trained by Ruyi Sect. They are good at everything they do and served Shen Nanzhi very attentively. However, they were so attentive that she didn't have much time to go to the space.

As long as she could go in and take care of things late at night, Shen Nanzhi really couldn't enjoy this kind of service.

Find something for them to do so that they don't have to keep staring at me all day. It's too restrictive.

But she couldn't get angry. When the two maids begged for mercy with tears in their eyes, she softened her heart. This trick not only worked on men, but also on her.

With the addition of two pretty maids, Jiayi and the others became much more reserved and didn't even dare to look at them straight in the eye, which surprised Shen Nanzhi. She was not so reserved when they followed her before!

We rode at full speed all the way and arrived at Wuling Prefecture three days later. As it was the only way to the capital, Wuling Prefecture was more lively than Changde Prefecture.

Shen Nanzhi and his men stayed in the inn first, inquired about some information, and then went to rescue people when they were ready.

Jia Yi went to contact other secret guards, so Shen Nanzhi didn't need to ask any more questions and just stayed in the inn to rest.

Send Anxin Anning to go shopping, you don't have to watch over her all the time. I also gave her some money, so she can buy whatever she likes. There's no need to save money for her, just go and have fun happily.

The two of them also liked this kind of hustle and bustle. They had been training in the base, isolated from the world, let alone shopping. They happily went out to play.

Shen Nanzhi entered the space and continued to make wine. By the way, she took a look at the ginseng she had planted. It was growing well and had even bloomed.

Everything can grow well in this space. After the seeds are mature, she can continue to plant them. In the future, she will have countless ginsengs to sell. This is the greatest wealth.

When she is old, ginseng will be able to grow to thousands of years old and will be a real life-saving treasure.

I happily appreciated the ginseng, took a bath, changed my underwear, and tidied myself up to rest.

There was a commotion outside. Someone else moved into the inn. Shen Nanzhi opened the window and looked out. It looked like a wealthy family. There were seven or eight horse-drawn carriages, and the maids and old women were busy in an orderly manner. They had booked the backyard of the inn.

This is the pomp and elegance of a truly wealthy family. Shen Nanzhi took a look at it, but didn't care and continued to sleep.

An Xin and An Ning had so much fun that she didn't know when she would be willing to come back. When she woke up, it was already mid-afternoon. The setting sun shone through the window, and the dim light was so warm that she didn't want to get up.

There was a knock on the door, and Jiayi asked outside: "Girl, are you awake?"

"Yeah, I just woke up. Wait for me."

Standing up to open the door, Jiayi looked unhappy. "Miss, I have investigated the details of those bandits. It is indeed not good."

"What? Are you colluding with the government?"

This was the worst outcome. Shen Nanzhi was mentally prepared. They had to go up the mountain alone and start working again.

As soon as Jia came in, he said, "This group of bandits is huge, numbering several thousand people, and there are two villages at the foot of the mountain to provide cover for them, making it more difficult to eliminate them.

There is collusion between officials and bandits. Every prefect who wants to keep his position has to pay tribute to them, otherwise he will die. Several prefects have died in Wuling Prefecture. This group of bandits is really arrogant and has become a cancer in the local area. "

"So rampant? The regent is not capable of this. If we don't wipe them out, will we let them rebel?"

Jiayi spoke well of his master: "The regent is wise and powerful, he will definitely not let them off easily this time.

But with the girl's help, the imperial court has no chance to intervene against this gang of bandits. This is all thanks to the girl."

"What's the point of me wanting to make achievements? I don't want to be an official."

"It is useful. The court also rewards women. County princesses and princesses can be canonized and enjoy fiefs. The regent will not forget the girl's contribution.

Mrs. Gao from Zhao County was given the title of county lady. She had made great contributions in disaster relief and supporting her mother-in-law. She was a model for women. Didn't the court give her the title of county lady?"

"Mrs. Gao, that's great. She has finally gotten her due, and it seems like it would be nice to be a county lady."

Shen Nanzhi felt that she had done a lot for the court. Not to mention the title of county princess, she was even worthy of being called a princess.

I hope the regent is not a fool and can see the good in her.
