But where did they provoke the bandits, and why did they target themselves everywhere?

If it was King Rong and Cha Liang before, then she could still think of a reason, after all, it was she who hindered Cha Liang's business of making money, but this thief did not rely on the mutual market to make a living, and after he came to the vicissitudes, he was a variety of vegetables, which could not hinder them in the slightest!

"Knock knock—"

There was a knock on the door, Xiao Man turned around and asked, "Who?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, the prince of Zhenguo has something to find you, let you go to the study." The little guy outside the door replied truthfully.

Thinking that Lu Li and Li Lin had been talking about things in the study, Xiao Man thought about it for a while, and felt that there must be something very important, so he had to put down the things in front of him first and go to the study with the help of Pearl.

As soon as he entered the door, Lu Li stepped forward, took Pearl's hand, and helped Xiaoman to sit on the seat.

Li Lin on the side chuckled a few times when he saw this: "I didn't expect the relationship between the prince of Zhenguo and the county lord to be so good, when I saw it today, it really made me envious." ”

"Alright, don't be a fool." Lu Li didn't have the heart to joke with him, "Let's get down to business, it's not too early." ”

Hearing this, Li Lin was not embarrassed, he cleared his throat, got up and said, "County Lord, I remember that you recruited a lot of maids from other countries here before, saying that you want to learn embroidery, right?" ”

Xiao Man nodded inexplicably and admitted, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"We suspect that there is a high probability that there are accomplices of the bandits among these people." Lu Li said solemnly.

"Huh?" Xiaoman was stunned at first, and then reacted, and said in his heart: It seems that his guess is right, this Qian Xiaoshan should have been in contact with the bandits.

Can... Why would the bandits do this?

Xiao Man was a little puzzled, she scratched her head and asked, "How did you know about this?" Also, I never understood one thing, why do bandits provoke us again and again? ”

Since coming to Bei'an City, except for some small ties with King Rong, Xiao Man has never provoked anyone, let alone a bandit she has never seen at all.

Even if these bandits are doing things for other people, who is the mastermind behind them? Why did he let a bunch of bandits bow down to him and obey him?

"County Lord, do you remember what I said before that I once planted eyeliner among the farmers at the foot of Liquan Mountain?" Li Lin said solemnly.

Xiao Man nodded and motioned for the other party to continue.

Li Lin straightened his face and said, "Just now, Eyeliner sent us a message, saying that someone in your mansion has a connection with the bandits, and has been helping the bandits. ”

As he spoke, he frowned, "County Lord, have you noticed anything unusual during this time?" ”

If Li Lin asked about this matter yesterday, then Xiaoman would definitely not know, but if it was today, she would have figured everything out.

She nodded firmly and said, "That's right, I've already found out the maid who colluded with the bandits in the house, but so far I have only found one, I wonder if Master Li can provide us with more information?" ”

It seems that he didn't expect Xiao Man to find so much, Lu Li was slightly surprised, Li Lin was also surprised for a moment, and then hurriedly responded: "We also know so much at present, but if the county lord has already found that maid, it is better to interrogate it well, and know more things, and guard against thieves in advance." ”

It stands to reason that the bandits are doing roadblocks and robberies, but now they are targeting the county lord's mansion everywhere, and they can also insert their own people in the maids of the outer mansions. Although I don't know what their next move will be, it is obvious that these bandits are extraordinarily smart and skillful, and they should be playing a big game of chess.

But Xiao Man shook her head at this time, and she said with some frustration: "She doesn't know more about the inside story, she doesn't know more than us, so much so that she doesn't even know why those thieves are targeting me." I think it's impossible to get something out of her mouth. ”

"In that case, the county lord might as well hand over the people to me directly." Li Lin took the initiative to ask for help, saying: "I should be more adept at interrogating prisoners. ”

"Master Li is right." Lu Li agreed, as if it was the result of careful consideration, and he said, "Xiaoman, you can hand that person directly over to Master Li to take away, so that we can do our own things with more peace of mind." ”

Xiao Man was a little puzzled, and subconsciously asked, "Our business?" ”

Hearing this, Li Lin smiled slightly and explained: "That's right, in order to prevent the bandits from attacking again, you must be vigilant and vigilant during this time, and you must make some preparations in advance, as for interrogating the prisoners, leave it to me." ”

Although I don't know what the two discussed before, Xiao Man was indeed a little tired, so he readily agreed.

In order to prevent Qian Xiaoshan from playing tricks, before this, Xiaoman had told Li Lin everything that Qian Xiaoshan had confided so far, and then asked Qian Xiaoshan to take him away.

This farce has finally come to an end, but Xiao Man and Lu Lizhong both know that the matter of the bandits is far from ending so easily, and what they will face next will only be more complicated and difficult.

In order not to cause panic, Xiaoman specially instructed Jia Meng not to tell her about it.

Jia Meng also knew the importance of the matter, so she quickly agreed, but after agreeing, she was still squirming in the house and refused to leave, as if there were other things.

Xiao Man frowned and asked, "What's the matter, is there anything else?" ”

"Ma'am, I... I have one thing...... "Jia Meng clenched her hands, lowered her face, her voice was like a mosquito, and her body shook and trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Xiao Man softened his voice and said, "Let's be straight, is there anything you need my help with?" ”

It seemed to have stabbed Jia Meng's heart, her body trembled more and more, but her voice was a little louder than before, and she dared to raise her head to look directly at Xiao Man, she said, "Madam, Wei Qi's death ......"

Although he only said a few words, Xiao Man still guessed what the other party wanted to say at once.

Speaking of which, Wei Qi's death is indeed very suspicious, and at the moment when Qian Xiaoshan showed his feet, Xiao Man almost immediately decided that Wei Qi's death was inseparable from Qian Xiaoshan.

But when I asked again, I found that the other party didn't know anything, and I didn't even know why I wanted to provoke the relationship between Xiaoxue and Xiuniang.

Therefore, Xiao Man gradually ignored this point, thinking that Wei Qi's death might really be just an accident.

She pursed her lips and said softly, "I know that Wei Qi's death was very sudden, but you also saw it just now, Qian Xiaoshan did not admit that this matter had anything to do with her. ”

"It's not like that!" Jia Meng suddenly became excited, she bit her lip, stared at Xiao Man with a pair of reddened eyes, and said, "Qian Xiaoshan falsely accused Wei Qi, and the lady wanted to go to Wei Qi's house to verify!" As a result, when we arrived, Wei Qi was already dead, isn't this just that there is no proof of death? How could it be so coincidental?! ”

Speaking of Wei Qi's death, Jia Meng lowered her head silently again, and whispered: "It's just a cold wind, how can it be a person's life, the Wei Mansion also gave Wei Qi half a month's monthly money, enough for her to be a good doctor, and catch two more pairs of medicines......"

Obviously, Jia Meng has not yet come out of Wei Qi's death, and she still doesn't want to believe that her friend died like this, so suddenly and sloppily.

Xiao Man sighed and comforted: "The Wei Mansion did give Wei Qi a monthly money, but isn't Wei Qi's mother a greedy person?" Maybe the money didn't reach Wei Qi's hands at all, so it was robbed by her mother. ”

"Impossible! Aunt Wang is not that kind of person! Jia Meng suddenly became excited again, she said: "Aunt Wang is the kindest and gentlest mother in the world, how could she deduct Wei Qi's money for medical treatment?!" ”

After the other party said this, Xiao Man suddenly realized that his impression of Wei Qi Niang came from Qian Xiaoshan, and Qian Xiaoshan was trying to lead himself into a trap at that time, and he was still working to explain the reason for Wei Qi's death, so he set up such an image for Wei Qi's mother, so that he had no doubt about it.....

Thinking of this, Xiao Man, who was in the warm bedroom, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, Jia Meng's aggrieved voice with a crying voice sounded: "Madam, do you really think Wei Qi's death is not strange at all?" ”

Xiao Man shuddered for no reason, and then said: "It's really strange to say this, but after all, I'm not familiar with Wei Qi, and I can't see too much strange in this matter." ”

As she spoke, she raised her eyes to look at Jia Meng and frowned slightly, "Do you think this matter is suspicious in other places besides Jia Meng's sudden illness and sudden death?" ”

Being asked like this, Jia Meng was stunned at first, and then reacted, does this mean that Mrs. is going to help her investigate Wei Qi's death? !

Her heart moved, and she asked in disbelief: "Madam, do you really want to investigate Wei Qi's death?" You also believe that her death was man-made, right? ”

"Hmm." Xiao Man didn't hide it, nodded directly, and said seriously: "But don't tell others about this matter first, don't leak the slightest rumor, in case someone starts before us." ”

Jia Meng nodded as if she didn't understand, with a determined light in her eyes, "Well, madam, I listen to you." ”

Xiao Man lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Jia Meng again, and said, "Now you can say, when you went to Wei Qi's house that day, what abnormal situation did you see?" ”

As soon as she mentioned this, Jia Meng's face turned pale, she bit her lip, took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Man, and said with some fear: "I was very sad when I went in, and I didn't notice much of the others, but I always felt like there was a pair of eyes looking at me......"

In case Xiaoman didn't believe it, Jia Meng endured the discomfort in her heart and described: "At that time, I was only sad and didn't notice anything strange, but in retrospect, I always felt as if someone was hiding in Wei Qi's house, secretly watching all this." ”
