Chapter 231: Jiangyang Thief
However, in order to highlight that she is actually a benevolent and good boss, Li Qing paid for an experienced woman to help Xiao Hong'er.
They are not noble people, and it is normal to have no servants to serve them.
Like Li Qing herself, in addition to Sanniang's cooking and cleaning the room, she washed her clothes by herself, without pretending to be his hand.
Life is like this, she has no need for the time being, and she has no conditions to open an independent mansion and raise a servant.
It's better to wait for Yunji to finish reading, and then open up a mansion under a certain name, which is also more justifiable.
It is not easy to open a mansion, except for landlords and merchants, it is only officials who have this ability. In these years, the salary of officials was not high, and officials who rented houses in Beijing abounded.
Everyone is still fighting for their father, it is the heritage of their ancestors, not how much they have earned today, and what they can buy.
Li Qing didn't want to open a mansion in the name of a businessman, so it was better to open a mansion in the name of an official. Wait a few years and settle in Shangjing.
Let's say that Yun Ji and Guan Shangxuan boarded a boat to Huichong County, but they arrived in Huichong County in one day and one night.
After inquiring, he learned that Fu Guangde had left.
The two breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and decided to rest for a day in Huichong County, and buy some small food to eat while on the boat.
At night, Yun Ji and Guan Shangxuan slept in the same room with two beds, and the guest house was booked by someone for some reason, and only a few rooms were left on the first floor, and there were no more people who had to settle for it.
The winter cold has not faded, and the first floor is relatively humid and naturally cold.
Yun Ji tossed and turned, and some couldn't sleep, and so did Guan Shangxuan. The two didn't want to talk either, so they just lay on the bed.
"Crunch~" Suddenly there was a sound of the door opening.
Is it the wind?
When Yun Ji was about to look up, he suddenly remembered that he had slammed the door backwards.
Someone!
The two babies are alarmed.
It was too late to light the lamp now, the room was dark, and Yun Ji hurriedly got out of bed while the man hadn't groped his way to the bed.
Guan Shangxuan lay on the bed and didn't dare to move. Until Yun Ji pulled his arm. He was startled at first, then felt familiar to the touch, and immediately pretended to turn over and whispered a few times.
As soon as the man opened the door, Guan Shangxuan's whispering made him dare not move for the time being.
This undoubtedly bought time for the two children, and the furnishings in the house were seen during the day, and they were very clear. He pulled Guan Shangxuan and rolled under the bed.
Not long after getting out of bed, the person who entered the room turned on the fire fold, revealing a glimmer of light.
The two babies hid under the bed and covered their mouths, holding their breath, trying to shrink their bodies into a ball, but without losing the state of being ready for battle at any time.
None of them have forgotten that they have martial arts.
When the light is near, it prints the shadows of the earth.
There was more than one, there were two people, burly, walking with a not light step, and a knife hanging from their waists.
Because under the bed, I can't see the face of the visitor clearly.
"Jiangyang thief." Guan Shangxuan wrote four words in the cloud and palm.
It's actually these gangs of thugs.
The most vicious thief in this world is the Jiangyang thief. Yun Ji couldn't figure it out, how could his group be targeted by Jiang Yang thieves if they were neither wearing silk silk nor Zhu Yingbao ornaments?
"Big brother, I don't see anyone, this quilt is still hot, I'm afraid that I found out about us, so I fled in a hurry." The thief Yi stabbed at the bed where Yun and Fang had just slept on, and did not hear the expected poking and frightened screams, he opened the fire fold, opened the quilt and saw that there was nothing but a pillow inside.
"No way, even if you escape, you can't escape." The Great Thief Armor said very firmly.
Suddenly, the fire was almost extinguished by the wind outside the window, and the thief B said, "You must have escaped through the window, who leaked the news?" ”
"Chase!"
The big thief didn't say much, and walked out of the window with a knife.
Yun Ji and Shang Xuan witnessed the arrogant foolish behavior of the two Jiang Yang thieves throughout the whole process, and outside the window was a pool.
Before the big thief B could act, he heard a plop. The splash of water in the darkness was four feet high, and he hurriedly lit the candle on the table, and the room was lit up. He ran to the window with a candle and whispered, "Big brother, big brother! ”
Big brother can't swim!
Just as the big thief B wanted to save his eldest brother, his head was numb at first, and he felt a dull pain in an instant, and he fainted the next moment. Guan Shangxuan held a wooden stool in both hands, panting.
"Dead?"
Yun Ji had already lit the oil lamp, and the candle in the hand of thief B was thrown out of the window and fell into the pool by Guan Shangxuan.
Guan Shangxuan shook his head, he didn't dare to step forward to look. Yun Ji picked up the teacup on the table and slammed it hard, Wu Ding next door heard the sound, and the mother-in-law, the little maid and the little second in the guest house also came.
"What's wrong?" Wu Ding hurriedly walked over, and what caught his eye was thief B who fell to the ground, and the two babies who looked panicked standing aside. "Did it hurt?" Wu Ding asked.
The two babies were stunned for a moment, and then slowly shook their heads.
The shopkeeper knew that this was not a good person when he saw the outfit of the person who fell to the ground, and he looked at the two customers. The inn actually mixed in with such people, but fortunately the guests were just a little frightened.
"They came in to kill us." Guan Shangxuan dropped the stool in his hand, stretched out a trembling finger and pointed out the window, Yun Ji pulled his arm, and said in his place: "There is another one in the water outside, they thought we ran away from the window and wanted to chase us, but they didn't think that there was a pool outside." ”
Wu Ding pointed to the person on the ground like a mess of mud and said to the shopkeeper: "Go and see if the person is dead?" And hurry up and take someone to pick up the pool. ”
The shopkeeper reacted at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to investigate, and found that the person was still alive, but he was knocked unconscious.
"Mrs. Wang, go to report to the official, the alley, and go non-stop to tell Mrs. Li." After all, Wu Ding was a person who had seen some of the world, and hurriedly commanded this group of frightened people to act.
Seeing that the shopkeeper took a rope and tied up the people on the ground, Wu Ding pulled the two children to his room, "Don't be afraid, we are here, don't be afraid of Ang!" ”
The two babies sat on the bed and wrapped them in a quilt before they felt a trace of warmth.
"How did they get in? Didn't lock the door at night? Wu Ding asked cautiously, for fear of stimulating the two babies. Although they are accompanied by martial arts, after all, they have not experienced actual combat, and it is normal to be afraid when they encounter a real Jiangyang thief with a knife for the first time.
Yun Ji was silent, after Guan Shangxuan stabilized himself, he said slowly: "The one who picked the lock came in, fortunately, we didn't fall asleep, we were hiding under the bed at the time, they thought we ran through the window, and one of them jumped out impatiently and fell into the water." Yun Ji was silent, and then asked, "Are you dead?" ”
Wu Ding replied: "It's not dead, the pool just flooded to the neck and crawled out." ”
"Poof~" Yun Ji smirked. "As long as no one is dead, then according to the laws of Tianqi, we will be fine, and fortunately they are stupid."
