The Farmer's Eldest Daughter Has a Spatial Pocket

Chapter 776: Too Inhumane

Editor: Henyee Translations

Tao Feng was looking for Shao Qingyuan. This was what she wanted to say.

Shao Qingyuan was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, “Just let them keep looking. It’s fine.”

“How can it be fine? What if they find you?”

“So what if they find me? Can the Tao family take my life? Their goal is to suppress me and not let me stand out. Only then can they ensure that the Tao family will be rich for a long time. But now that I’m already grown, who else can they find to suppress me? Besides, didn’t you just say that Tao Xing is colluding with that robber? If Qin Wenzheng finds out, he definitely won’t let them off. What am I afraid of?”

Gu Yundong saw that he really did not care about the Tao family and did not care if they would come looking for him.

Indeed, according to the Tao family’s intentions, they wouldn’t take Shao Qingyuan’s life, but…

Gu Yundong glared at him. “Why don’t you understand? If Tao Feng finds you, everyone will know that you’re a member of the Tao family. Tao Xing colluded with the robbers and might have done something treasonous. If the entire Tao family is involved, you won’t be able to escape if the Tao family is convicted.”

These days were different from the modern world. There was no such thing as taking responsibility for one’s own actions.

If one person committed a crime, the entire family would be implicated.

If Shao Qingyuan had nothing to do with the Tao family, she would have directly reported the matter to Qin Wenzheng in the county city. Why would she care about the Tao family’s life?

But not now. If something happened to the Tao family, Shao Qingyuan might be implicated.

Especially when Tao Feng was still looking for him, who knew how many clues he had?

Gu Yundong lowered her head and frowned.

After a while, she said, “No, we can’t tell Qin Wenzheng about Tao Xing’s relationship with the robber for the time being. At the very least, I have to ensure your safety first. But what should I do?”

Gu Yundong began to ponder. Her expression was exceptionally solemn.

“If someone in a family commits a crime, others in the family will suffer too. This law is too inhumane. Now, we don’t know how far Tao Xing has crossed the line. Will he suffer alone or will everyone die with him? We can only prepare for the worst and think of a way to get you out of this.”

She rubbed her chin and looked out of the window. A moment later, she frowned again. “Unless you make a great contribution and can make the emperor exempt you. Great contribution, great contribution… If I had known earlier, I would have reported this method of refining white sugar in your name. This kind of contribution to improving the livelihood of the people, coupled with your incompatible relationship with the Tao family, and the fact that the emperor is a reasonable person, he definitely won’t punish you.”

However, she could not do it now. She had already reported it to the emperor.

If she changed it now, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor. Not only would it not help Shao Qingyuan, it might even add fuel to the fire.

What else could she do?

What did the emperor care about the most? People’s livelihood, military affairs, culture…

On the military side, she could create explosives. Explosives were no longer restricted in the apocalypse. There were so many zombies, and there were not enough guns and bullets. Many people would create explosives themselves to save their lives.

At that time, whoever mastered one more ability would be able to live for a few more days.

Gu Yundong did not know how to do it at first, but when she went out with a small team one time to search for supplies, she had seen someone do it. Its power was average and did not have the aura of sweeping through a thousand troops that she had imagined, but it was not a problem to blow up a couple of zombies.
