At this time, Xie Yutang also calmed down a lot, listened to their words, and finally agreed not to make trouble, picked up the tea on the table and drank a few sips, and said to Xiao Er, "You, go and send them pork knuckles." ”

"Good shopkeeper." Xiao Er was helpless, but he could only do this errand.

Xie Yutang put down the teacup and snorted angrily, "Look, these people are still making trouble." He was right, a few days after the "pork knuckle" incident, the city suddenly became chaotic.

On this day, the kitchen guy went out to buy, and after not going out for a while, he ran back in a panic, "Shopkeeper!" Madame! Oh no! ”

Ji Wan pushed the door and walked out, "What's wrong?" So flustered? ”

The guy ran out of breath, "I just saw ...... at the bazaar See ......"

This voice naturally alarmed Xie Yutang, and he patted the guy on the back, "Speak slowly."

"I saw masked outsiders arresting people in the bazaar."

When the people present heard this, they were all taken aback, "Arrest someone? ”

"Yes, and the arrests are all young and beautiful girls, of course the girls' families quit and took people to find them, but they are all ordinary people, and those outsiders are strong in kung fu, and they can't save people at all."

"Hurry up and report to the official!" The guy who ran the hall said subconsciously.

Xie Yutang thought for a while and shook his head, "I'm afraid that the people in the government won't dare to take care of it." ”

"I heard that someone went to report to the official, but the government has not sent troops yet...... "The guy who bought it breathed a sigh of relief and reported the follow-up situation.

Chi Wan frowned and thought for a while, "Look, I just said that things are not so simple, at this time, let's ask for more blessings." ”

Seeing the grocery shopping guy at the scene of the arrest was frightened, "Shopkeeper, I want to go home, I still have the elderly and children to take care of at home......"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xie Yutang waved his hand and interrupted him, "It's not been peaceful recently, if you have something to do at home and someone to take care of, you can go back, I will take care of the monthly money here, and when the turmoil passes, you will come back, and if you don't want to come back, I will also give you severance pay." ”

The guys were moved, and naturally they were willing to follow a good boss like Xie Yutang, and left with a thousand thanks, and after a while, only Xie Yutang and Chi Wan were left in the courtyard.

"Now let's start catching young girls, I don't know what will happen next, Yutang, what are you going to do?"

"The first thing, of course, is to hide you, those outsiders see you and take you away." Xie Yutang pondered for a moment, and his gaze fell on Chi Wan.

Chi Wan's heart was warm, but her face didn't show it at all, as if she was really just thinking about how to deal with it, "How are you going to hide?" ”

Xie Yutang had already thought about this question, "There is a tradition of digging cellars to store food in the north, and when the inn first opened, I was looking for someone to dig it, and it was just dug a few days ago, and now it can come in handy." ”

As soon as these words came out, Chi Wan understood, "Are you trying to hide me in the cellar?" ”

Xie Yutang didn't delay for a moment, and quickly took action, putting all the food and ingredients in the store into the cellar, and other daily necessities were not left behind, and he was busy all day, and he couldn't get it ready until it was dark.

"Wanwan, these days, I have wronged you to hide here."

"What about you?" Looking at Xie Yutang, whose nose tip was still stained with dust, Chi Wan was a little uneasy.

Xie Yutang wiped his face casually with his sleeve and smiled at her, "Those outsiders are still living with us, and I, the shopkeeper, have to deal with it." ”

That's what he said, but Chi Wan couldn't rest assured, she had heard Xie Yutang say it before, that group of people had strong martial arts, if there was a conflict, Xie Yutang alone would probably not be their opponent.

"Why don't you hide in the cellar with me, they won't find you, and it's over."

Xie Yutang shook his head, "They are so messy here, I have to check it out, don't I?" Don't worry about me, I'll be fine, trust me. ”

After some persuasion, Chi Wancai finally reluctantly agreed, but still told him to be careful and careful.

After settling Chi Wan, Xie Yutang went to the inn lobby to get busy, and after a while, a masked outsider came out of the room and left the inn again. Xie Yutang hurriedly threw down the account book and quietly followed.

The outsider didn't notice it, and walked along the main road, and after turning a few small alleys, a lively place appeared in front of him.

"Warm Fragrance Pavilion?"

This place Xie Yutang has also heard of, and it is one of the most famous fireworks venues in the area.

The strange thing is that in today's Nuanxiang Pavilion, there is no girl at the door to solicit customers, and the old bustard is nowhere to be found.

A suspicion rose in his heart, Xie Yutang jumped lightly, went up to the roof of a restaurant next to him, and looked in from the window towards the Warm Fragrance Pavilion.

This didn't matter, but it made him discover something amazing.

The civilian girls who were taken away before were all locked up here, in every room.

Originally, I didn't know what these outsiders were doing to catch the little girl, but now it seems that they actually locked up the girl from a good family in the Qinglou, and the purpose is very obvious.

Xie Yutang slammed his fist on the tiles, angry, "These beasts are simply inferior to ...... beasts."

No need to ask, the one who left the inn just now must have come here to have fun.

There were too many outsiders here, and he rushed in alone, for fear that not only would he not be able to save those girls, but he would also fold himself in, and he still had to think about it in the long run, and he couldn't act rashly.

Thinking of this, Xie Yutang quietly came down from the roof, avoided the eyes of those outsiders, and hurried back to the inn as fast as he could.

"What do you say? Warm Fragrance Pavilion? Chi Wan heard the news that Xie Yutang brought back, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"I really don't know what they're going to do, they really want to find girls, aren't those Qinglou women bad? Why spoil a girl from a good family? After speaking, Chi Wan seemed to have thought of something, and asked him, "What about the official mansion?" Still not moving? ”

Xie Yutang shook his head, his face heavy, "Hundreds of people have already gone to report to the official, but the official mansion is still very quiet, and nothing has been done." ”

While Chi Wan was angry, she could understand it, after all, this was a small place in the Northland, and it was normal for the county guard not to want to cause trouble.

The two of them were discussing in the room when there was a sudden knock on the door.

The two of them immediately became vigilant, they had already been dismissed, and the ones who could come to them at this time were nine times out of ten outsiders who lived in the hotel.

Xie Yutang opened the cabinet and was about to hide Chi Wan inside, but he heard the man outside, "Shopkeeper, open the door, it's me." ”

The two exchanged a look with each other, it was the voice of the food delivery guy, and after secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Chi Wan came out of the cabinet and opened the door, "Why are you here?" It's not peaceful now, so it's better to hide at home for a few days. ”

"Shopkeeper, lady boss," said the food delivery guy mysteriously as he closed the door, "there's new news outside." ”

"What's new?" is also a woman, and after learning what happened to those women who were captured, Ji Wanbi wanted to rescue them more than anyone else.

The guy lowered his voice, "A girl who was taken away next door to my house has been missing for almost half a month, and the family is even about to do the funeral, who knew that she was actually released last night, and the person looked a lot haggard, and the family quickly called the doctor to see the girl, but after seeing several doctors, they all said that it was okay, you say, is this strange thing?" ”

Hearing this, Chi Wan frowned thoughtfully, "I have been missing for almost half a month, that is to say, as early as a few days ago, before the three-eyed outsider came to the inn, they were quietly arresting people." ”

Xie Yutang didn't quite believe the words in the man's mouth, he clearly saw those girls in the Nuanxiang Pavilion yesterday, "How can it be okay?" Those people must have a plan to arrest them. ”

The guy scratched his head, "I wonder too, but this girl really has nothing to do, no signs of pregnancy, just a little ...... Ask her where she went and who she saw, she can't remember anything, she has a headache if she asks too much, and if she sees nothing big at home, she will not be able to do it. ”

After all, it is a blessing to be able to pick up a life, and many people are reluctant to publicize such a thing as being defiled with an innocent body, and it is normal for Xiao Er not to know.

Chi Wan naturally thought of this, and a touch of pain flashed in her eyes, "In this case, the other girls who were taken away should not have to worry about their lives." ”

Xie Yutang felt that things were not so simple.

In the next few days, the girls who were taken away were released home one after another, some of them remembered that they went to the Nuanxiang Pavilion, and they also remembered that they had been insulted by those outsiders.

The only thing to be thankful for is that after those girls invited a doctor to come and see, there was no sign of pregnancy, and they did not give birth to some little monster with three eyes and two mouths.

There are more and more such girls, and Xie Yutang, who heard the news, couldn't help but be even more puzzled, just venting his beastly desires, but he had to find a woman from a good family, what did those outsiders want? There are so many girls, even if the probability is low, there is not a single one who is pregnant, right?

He discussed it with Ji Wan, but he didn't come to any conclusions.

Before the dust had settled on the girls' release, the outsiders soon made new waves.

On this day, Xie Yutang went out of the door, and suddenly saw on the way that those outsiders had actually begun to arrest the young and middle-aged people in the city.

They worked in pairs, and when they saw a man in their twenties and thirties, they grabbed him and took him away without saying a word, and the street suddenly fell into chaos.

Xie Yutang dodged into a small alley and hid, while carefully observing the situation outside.
