"What?!"

Shang Ruyi panicked immediately. Without any time to think about it, he immediately galloped towards the station ahead.

"business--"

Yu Wenye wanted to call her to stop, but after thinking about it, he waved to the people behind him: "Follow me, remember, you are not allowed to do anything without my order!"

"yes!"

Everyone took the order and followed him, riding their horses and rushing forward.

With a distance of more than half a mile, they rushed to the Zhanping River Station almost in the blink of an eye. It was just a small two-story earthen building on the bank of the river. The earthen wall outside was not even as high as one person and had collapsed a lot.

, there were two lanterns hanging at the door of the inn, one of which had been extinguished. The damaged wooden door was full of cracks. Even if it was closed, there was a lot of light. At this time, the two doors seemed to have been kicked open and hit the walls on both sides.

It swayed and made a squeaking sound.

Shang Ruyi rode his horse and ran outside the gate. He couldn't even wait for the horse to stop before he jumped down and ran inside.

As soon as I ran to the gate, I saw what was going on inside.

The lobby on the first floor is very empty. There are two or three low tables and a few gray blankets on the floor. Next to the earthen wall on the left is a slender wooden ladder leading directly to the second floor. Corridors on three sides each lead to five or six rooms.

, for people to rest.

At this moment, no one in the inn seemed to have rested, they were all in the lobby.

On the table in the center of the lobby were several bowls of soup, two plates of noodles and a plate of meatloaf. It was obvious that they had been eating just now, but at this moment, everyone stood up, and several officials and the Yi Cheng had complicated expressions on their faces.

, looking at the three people in the center of the lobby.

Among them, the one with his back to Shang Ruyi was a tall, thin man wearing a dark blue gown. The other two people were holding him and crying and saying something.

Shang Ruyi recognized at a glance that those two people were her uncle and aunt.

Shen Shiyan and his wife were both wearing gray shorts and their faces were dusty. They were still crying and talking when they suddenly heard a noise at the door. They raised their heads and their eyes suddenly lit up.

Yu said in surprise: "Ruyi, why are you here?"

As soon as he heard her words, the person she was holding tightly shook his shoulders and turned around suddenly.

This is a young man in his twenties, handsome and handsome, with an air of elegance all over his body. Especially when he looked at Shang Ruyi, a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face, with two deep smiles on the corners of his mouth.

His dimples made his smile look sincere and full of warmth.

Shang Ruyi's whole body trembled when she saw those gentle, joyful eyes.

Suddenly, all the nervousness and anxiety before, and even the depression and decadence of this period of time, were soothed by those eyes full of gentle smiles at this moment.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she was so excited that she couldn't make a sound.

Until the man strode over and pulled her into his arms.

"As one wishes!"

"..."

Shang Ruyi opened his eyes wide and felt a familiar, gentle breath surrounding him. Even though he had been away for several years, all the tender memories came back with just such a touch.

Her nose felt sore and she hugged the person in front of her with both hands.

"elder brother!"

This person is none other than the Shen couple's only son - Shen Wuzheng.

After being separated for several years, I never expected that the two brothers and sisters would meet here. Shang Ruyi hugged his brother and couldn't help but burst into tears. Shen Wuzheng looked down at her and said in a deep voice: "Why have you lost so much weight?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi looked at the familiar face in front of him - in fact, he was no longer familiar with it. Compared with the plump and childish face when he left, Shen Wuzheng had lost a lot of weight at this moment, and his outline had already He has the air of a mature man. But his gentle eyes have not changed at all, and the warm breath on his body makes it seem as if the years he has been gone have only lasted a moment.

Shang Ruyi's throat was blocked again, and then he said: "Brother, you have changed a lot."

"..."

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here to see my parents."

While they were talking, Mrs. Shen and his wife had already walked forward with red eyes. Shang Ruyi hurriedly walked up to them again. Just as he was about to say something, Mrs. Yu said with distress: "You girl, what are you doing here?"

"I--"

Shang Ruyi looked at the officials hesitantly and was speechless.

But at this time, even if she didn't say anything, looking at her tired appearance and running to the inn at this hour, everyone could guess what she wanted to do.

Shen Shiyan's face turned from red to blue, and he pointed at her and said: "You, why are you so stupid? You are still young and have a great future, why are you so short-sighted? I am an old man, am I worthy of you doing this?"

After saying that, he glared at Mr. Yu fiercely: "It's all because of you!"

Yu murmured: "Why are you blaming me again?"

He was always elegant and dignified on weekdays, and he never scolded Shang Ruyi loudly. This was the first time that Shang Ruyi had been scolded in more than ten years.

She lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

After a while, an official who was watching sighed and said, "Sir Shen is indeed very righteous, and your relatives will not give up on you. However, your children are too reckless."

Shang Ruyi raised his head and looked at him.

The officer said, "Master Shen is an imperial prisoner. Even if you succeed tonight, will you be able to hide for the rest of your life?"

What he said was exactly what Yu Wenye said just now.

Look at the appearance of Shen Shiyan and Yu. Although they are a little haggard, they have obviously not been abused in any way. Not only are they not shackled, there are even their dishes and chopsticks on the table.

They actually sat down to eat together.

The official sighed and said, "We won't hide it from you. Although Mr. Shen has been convicted, in our eyes, he is a truly loyal minister."

Shang Ruyi was shocked: "You——"

The official said: "Master Shen, Master Pei and others are all trying to persuade the emperor to stop attacking Liaodong - this is also what all the people in the world are looking forward to. After these years of continuous fighting, the people have long been unable to survive. It's just that our words can't go up to heaven to be heard. Someone has suffered for saying this for us, how can we let him suffer again?"

"..."

"So, you don't have to do this kind of decapitation."

"..."

"We will not treat Mr. Shen badly along the way. Even those on the Lingnan side have the same intention."

Several other officials, as well as the post officials, also nodded in agreement.

Shang Ruyi was filled with emotions.

Sometimes, when talking about the righteousness of the world, it seems to be a very vague thing. The bustling world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. After these days, even Shang Ruyi feels that no matter how deep the emotion is, it can't compare. A little exchange of interests; but I didn't expect that there are still people who have that weak kindness in their hearts, even when people are most desperate, they still give people, and even give the world a little hope.
