Before the mother and son could think about it, the armored guards began to search the room, starting from this floor.
Listening to the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, Shen Zhaoning gradually calmed down, as if he was not looking for someone, but something.
She said how could Jun Beicheng find out so quickly that he was chasing after her? He might have gotten on the boat before her. It was just a coincidence among coincidences!
They were just looking for something. As long as she was not discovered by Jun Beicheng, she could successfully hide and stay safe.
Listening to the footsteps outside the door getting closer and closer, she quickly picked up her son and lay on the bed, lifting the quilt to get away.
As a result, the moment he opened the quilt, a wooden box fell out, and a bad premonition suddenly came to his mind.
Shen Tianci's little hands moved quickly and he opened the wooden box directly. The contents inside were clear at a glance, including several books of accounts.
"Mom, this is not our thing, why is it in our room? What is this?"
Shen Zhaoning looked through the accounts and gradually began to tremble: "It's possible... we went to the wrong room."
The ship is divided into a cargo hold and a passenger cabin. The passenger cabin has several floors, and the top floor is a luxurious room for dignitaries.
There are many small rooms separated in the middle for ordinary people to live in. Of course, the price is not too cheap.
Because she didn't want her son to be uncomfortable following her, she gritted her teeth and booked an ordinary guest room on the ship.
These rooms all look similar, so it's very possible that they went to the wrong room.
If a person is unlucky enough to drink cold water, he will not only go to the wrong room, but the things found in this room are most likely what Jun Beicheng is looking for.
The account book records the amount of money bought and sold. Each amount is huge, ranging from tens of thousands of taels of silver to as many as one hundred thousand and upwards, as well as some gold.
Apart from the illegal arms trade and smuggled salt, she couldn't think of any other business that was so generous.
The most important thing is that she found a familiar name on the list of traders.
Jun Hongyu, Dongfang Xingchang.
Good guys, these two are not honest!
This is just a list and current accounts, it does not explain what is being traded.
Although holding it may not be used as actual evidence, she must not touch this thing, and she must find a way to leave the room as soon as possible!
Shen Zhaoning put the things into the box and put them back in their original places, then quietly moved to the door with his son to observe the situation outside.
Only then did she realize that the room she had booked was on the opposite side. Because the pattern used to mark the room was missing a corner and looked similar, she went to the wrong place.
There was no one outside now. She pulled her son to open the door and was about to go out, when she heard footsteps again around the corner.
The distance of just a few steps became so difficult that she could only close the door again with tears in her eyes.
But just when she was depressed against the door, there was a strong pushing feeling behind her, and someone was pushing the door!
Mother and son looked at each other in fear, and Shen Tianci quickly used his small body to help block the door.
Although he is only four years old, he already understands a lot of things and knows that the current situation is very detrimental to him and his mother.
After trying several times outside and failing to open the door, a rough and low male voice sounded: "Sir, the door has been blocked from the inside. Someone has already gone in first."
Help! Found!
Then a lazy and pleasant young male voice sounded outside, but the words he spoke were as vicious as poison that penetrated the intestines: "Break the door, no matter who it is, deal with it cleanly."
When you hear this, you are not a serious person!
But why does that voice seem familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere.
While Shen Zhaoning was thinking, she heard the sound of a knife being drawn outside. She was so frightened that she quickly took her son away from the door.
The whole room was very small, with only a small bed, table, and two stools. There was no place to hide anyone.
So when the door opened, both mother and son were caught.
The man who rushed in had a long scar on his face. He looked fierce, but he could tell that his facial features were normal.
The bright scimitar in the man's hand looked like it was not a weapon from the Southern Dynasty. A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he walked towards Shen Zhaoning and Shen Tianci with the knife in hand.
Seeing this posture, the mother and son looked at each other, understanding each other.
As long as you break out of this door, your chances of surviving will be much greater. This is on the ship, and Jun Beicheng is searching with his armored guards.
Even if they want to kill people and silence them, they don't dare to do it in public. In this situation, they can only take a gamble.
Shen Tianci took out a mini machine crossbow and fired several crossbow arrows at the scarred man, and the man was forced to dodge sideways.
Shen Zhaoning cooperated by picking up the stool and throwing it at the man, and the mother and son rushed out of the room as quickly as possible.
But there was a man outside the door, and the silver needle in her hand stabbed the man's wrist accurately.
Their eyes met, and she was shocked to find that she really knew this person. He was Liang Yu, the young master who had met once in Hualou!
For two seconds, the man glanced at his numb arm, picked up Shen Tianci with his other hand and threw him back into the room.
Of course, Shen Zhaoning couldn't run away. The moment the room door closed, the armored guard opposite the door came out after searching and went straight to the room where they were.
Just a little bit away from success!
Beigong Liangyu, who was dressed in a white brocade robe, took off the silver needle from his hand with a hint of evil charm on his lips.
Looking at the imprisoned woman in his arms, his eyes were filled with amusement: "Whose are you?"
It was obvious that he didn't recognize her from this look. Also, they had just met her once while wearing women's clothing and still covered with a veil, so it was normal for them not to recognize her.
The man with the scar came up with a cold face and wanted to kill someone and silence him. Shen Zhaoning was already numb with fear and was thinking about reminiscing about the past?
However, it seems that it is not a wise move to reminisce about the past at this time. Knowing that the identity of the other party is difficult to protect will end up being silenced.
In desperation, Shen Tianci bit Beigong Liangyu's hand: "Let go of my mother!"
The man looked stern, and Shen Zhaoning was so frightened that she hugged his arm and used her body to protect her son: "Don't hit the child!"
At this moment, the armored guard knocked on the door: "Routine search, please cooperate!"
The scarred man glanced at his master, put away the sword and stood aside.
The moment the armored guard opened the door, Beigong Liangyu hugged Shen Zhaoning and pinched Shen Tianci's cheek.
Suspicion flashed across the armored guard's face when he saw this scene, and when he was about to ask, he looked at Shen Tianci with a doting look on his face and lectured him: "Why are you so embarrassed with your father when you are joking? Be good, make way for me."
Although his face was smiling and full of doting, the hand holding Shen Zhaoning's thin waist was not polite at all.
She could only cooperate and pull her son over, pretending to be a family of three, and comfort her in a low voice: "Son, be good, don't make trouble with dad, be obedient, mom will give you candy later."
While she was talking, the armored guard had already walked towards the bed. She was scared to death. If something was found out, she would not be able to escape his involvement.
