The villagers in the ancestral hall were shocked. "They're really here? Why are they here so quickly?"
Someone reacted quickly and said to Shao Qingyuan, "Qingyuan, quickly hide."
"Yes, yes, yes. Go and hide. If they come and can't find you, they will definitely go back."
"We'll say that you've already left and returned to the prefectural city."
Everyone was talking at once and coming up with ideas. They were worried that Shao Qingyuan would be taken away by those powerful people from the county.
Without this man supervising the situation, they could not help but panic.
Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong looked at each other. It was as they had expected it.
Chen Liang also came over to persuade them. "Stay away for now. Don't worry, they're here for you. If they can't see you, they can't do anything."
"Alright, I'll leave this to Uncle Chen."
Shao Qingyuan nodded at Ah Zhu and left the ancestral hall with Gu Yundong.
