Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Burning Calamity
Zhu Xishi and Xiao Yi anxiously looked forward to the street for a while, and suddenly heard a lot of commotion on the street, and before the two of them could react from their surprise, a team of officials with knives appeared in front of them.
"Idlers and miscellaneous people quickly avoid! Those who obstruct it will be punished as obstructing official business. ”
The people who walked back and forth on the street hurriedly retreated to both sides, making way for this urgent official errand, all of them with shocked ripples. Suddenly, the quiet street was full of people, speculating about the reason for the government's rejuvenation.
The official who took the lead walked to Zhu Xishi's shop, looked at the environment here rigorously, and hurriedly asked.
"Who is the owner of this bun shop?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Xishi was immediately stunned, and he stared nervously at the inquiring officer, wanting to say something, but found that his throat was stuck.
"Xu Zhutou, isn't this the proprietress of the bun shop in front of you, Zhu Xishi?"
When Zhu Xishi couldn't speak, an answer came out from behind the official who arrived later, and the panicked Zhu Xishi raised his head in astonishment and looked, who else was the man besides Zhao Xiaoba?
Somehow, Zhu Xishi was like a savior, and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Xiaoba's sleeve and was disgusted.
"You're back! I thought something was wrong with you. ”
When Zhao Xiaoba looked at Zhu Xi, who was dragging him tightly in his hand, he panicked like a headless fly, and then comforted him with a soft smile on his face: "It's a long delay, so you are worried." It's okay. ”
It seems that Xu Zhutou, who is doing this errand, is also very anxious, and he doesn't allow them to talk for a while, so he hurriedly interjects on the side.
"Zhao Gongzi, dare to ask if the male corpse you said is still inside?"
"Exactly."
After receiving Zhao Xiaoba's affirmation, Xu Zhutou immediately lowered his face and spoke to the official messenger who was on standby behind him.
"Spread this bun for me to guard! Search inside and out! Not a single mosquito is allowed out! ”
Xu Zhu gave the first order, and the team of officials immediately took action and ran straight towards Zhu Xishi's courtyard. This sudden change caught Zhu Xishi off guard.
"You guys!"
Before Zhu Xishi could exclaim a reason, Xu Zhutou picked up his saber and stopped Zhu Xishi, and said sternly.
"I'm sorry Miss Zhu, your bun shop is now dead, we have to check carefully! We hope that you will forgive me for the offense. ”
"Forget it, don't say it again."
Zhao Xiaoba hurriedly grabbed Zhu Xishi, and calmly said to Xu Zhutou: "Xu Zhutou, please!" ”
"Thank you Zhao Gongzi for your understanding! Brothers, search carefully! ”
Waking up from this sudden change, Zhu Xishi suddenly felt unwilling in his heart, what does it mean? Could it be that I was the murderer who killed people when I was in the past. Suddenly a little panicked and asked Zhao Xiaoba.
"What do they mean? We are the sufferers, okay! Now they are blatantly searching my house like this, what do the neighbors think?! ”
"Calm down, Shih Tzu. After all, Xu Zhutou is also responsible for them, so they have to be investigated more carefully. ”
Although he understood that Zhao Xiaoba's words were reasonable, but looking at their menacing appearances, Zhu Xishi really didn't know what her house would become after this search!
The disasters that have affected the fish in the pond really can't be stopped one after another.
"But what about my shop? Zhao Xiaoba, it's all my net worth! In case"
"Miss Zhu, don't worry."
Just when Zhao Xiaoba was at a loss, Xiao Yi stepped forward to solve his problem.
"I still have some connections on the side of the official yamen, and I will send someone to inform the voice in a while, I think I will sell Xiao a certain favor, and it won't be too messy."
Turning his head, Zhao Xiaoba looked at Xiao Yi with a little surprise, just now he was in a hurry to pay attention to Zhu Xishi, but he didn't notice that he was also there.
"Xiao Yi, why are you here?!"
"The villain has seen Childe."
Seeing that Xiao Yi suddenly hugged his fists in a proper manner, Zhao Xiaoba hurriedly coughed twice to remind Zhu Xi when he was worried about Zhu Xi beside him.
Xiao Yi's eyes were also very fast, and he noticed that he had lost his temper for a while, so he hurriedly put away his respectful set and explained with a smile.
"At noon, didn't Zhao Gongzi ask Shunzi to bring me a message? As soon as I received the news, I hurried over, not wanting to encounter this. ”
Fortunately, at this time, Zhu Xishi was full of attention to the safety of his net worth and property, and he did not notice the strangeness of the conversation between the two of them, so Zhao Xiaoba relaxed his nervousness and said with a smile.
"But there is Brother Lao Xiao running all the way."
"How dare you, how dare you! Childe's words are tormenting me Xiao, but it's just a gesture. By the way, I just heard Miss Zhu say that the son went to the Yamen to report to the official, I don't know if they have made things difficult for the son? ”
The smile on the corner of Zhao Xiaoba's mouth became a little thicker, and he couldn't see that Xiao Yi was a big and three rough market man, but he was a thoughtful person.
"It's a little troublesome, but it's okay."
Although Zhao Xiaoba said it lightly, Xiao Yi still didn't dare to be careless, sometimes small troubles can turn into big hidden dangers if left unchecked. Now coupled with the murder case that happened in this bun shop, it can't be taken lightly, the identity of the son is special, and the less people know, the safer.
"Zhao Gongzi, please rest assured, Xiao Yi will handle this matter properly and will not cause unnecessary trouble."
"It's fine. If you come forward, you must be able to resolve a lot of misunderstandings, so Brother Lao Xiao will have to worry a lot. ”
After playing a dumb riddle in front of Zhu Xishi, the attention of the two naturally returned to her, looking at the two hands clasped together and rubbing back and forth, the discerning person knew at a glance that Zhu Xishi's state of mind was uneasy at the moment.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yi directly inquired about Zhao Xiaoba's meaning.
"Childe, I see that this place will not stop for a while, and I don't know if I should say it when I mention it?!"
"Brother Xiao doesn't have to be formal, it's okay to talk about it."
"I look at the current situation, and I guess I will close the store if I can't do it."
"Closed shop?!"
When Zhu Xi was frightened, he suddenly picked out these two words in Xiao Yi's words, and suddenly felt extremely shocked! The rhetorical question blurted out interrupted Xiao Yi.
"Miss Zhu doesn't have to worry too much. After all, there was a death in your store, and in order to stabilize people's hearts, the government is likely to temporarily block the store to prevent news from leaking out. I was thinking that Gongzi and Miss Zhu now have no place to stay, so I wanted to invite the two of them to stay in the courtyard in the west of my city for two days. Now this bun shop is not safe, this method firstly has a place for the two to rest, and secondly, they can temporarily avoid the limelight, I don't know what Gongzi and Miss Zhu think? ”
Zhu Xishi looked at Xiao Yi, who was kind and angry, and always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't say anything! It stands to reason that in this case, I still wish for someone to help me, and I can't ask for something; But now it's good, no matter how you hear this, it looks like Xiao Yi is begging them, for fear of yellow.
Zhao Xiaoba didn't care much about Zhu Xishi's doubts, the more he explained some things, the more troublesome they became, so it was better to keep his mouth shut and let her guess. So, following Xiao Yi's words, he agreed.
"Well, I'm worried about where I don't have a place to stay. Then I'm going to bother Brother Xiao these days. ”
"Childe's words! It's a great honor for Xiao Yi to have you here. Childe, Miss Zhu, please! ”
Xiao Yi invited them with a big hand and respectfully led the way, Zhao Xiaoba didn't twist much, made a look to Zhu Xishi to follow, and set off.
Although there are many reluctant to give up their own homes in their hearts, but now, as Xiao Yi said, it is too unsafe here, and they can only follow the shape and avoid evil.
Looking at Zhao Xiaoba with a dashing posture in front of him, and then looking at Xiao Yi who was respectful, Zhu Xishi really felt that Zhao Xiaoba was like a figure with a head and a face at this moment.
