Chapter 30: In the middle of the night, don't talk nonsense!
Hearing that the little guy was so sure, the shopkeeper's heart slowly cooled down.
It seems that this matter was really said by the little girl, and the two girls were deceived by someone!
Where you go now, it's unknown.
Now it's not just about the reputation of the inn, it's about two living lives.
He must not ignore such a life-threatening matter.
"Let's go, let's go to Xiao Mansion first!"
This should be reported directly to the official, but the people of Fengcheng all trust Xiao Mansion is one thing, and the other is naturally that this matter is already related to Xiao Mansion, so it is better to directly talk to General Xiao to make it clear.
Fengcheng is a frontier land, in addition to experiencing the pain of wind and sand in spring and autumn every year, day and night are also two levels of differentiated weather.
The days are scorching hot, and the nights are bitterly cold.
This extreme climate made it miserable for those who first entered Fengcheng, and many people had to move out of the area because they couldn't bear it.
The shopkeeper and the servant quickly closed the door panel, locked the door, and rushed towards the Xiao family against the biting cold wind.
The night wind howled, and from time to time through the clothes rushed into the flesh, the two of them hugged their chests tightly, and their feet were getting faster and faster, and finally they couldn't help but move forward with a run.
Disdain a stick of incense for a while, and you can already see the gate of Xiao Mansion.
Along the way, the shopkeeper and the servant looked down at the traces on the road, but there was no sign of the carriage passing by, and their hearts sank even more.
"Bang bang bang!"
The red gate was majestic, and the little guy was a little afraid to shoot at first.
But he thought that two innocent girls were deceived by gangsters in front of his eyes, and his life and death were unknown, so he couldn't care so much.
After a while, there was a voice from inside the door.
"Wait a minute."
The door creaked and opened a gap, and the little porter in his coat looked through the crack, looking up and down vigilantly at the young man in coarse linen in front of him.
"Who are you? What's the matter? ”
General Xiao is busy with official business, and it is common for someone to knock on the door in the middle of the night to report military affairs, but most of them are generals in the army, and even if they are dressed in plain clothes, they can see the posture of soldiers.
But the man in front of him ......
The porter turned his gaze and saw the indistinct shopkeeper under the lantern behind the little servant.
I thought that these two people must not be from the army, and I don't know what strange things happened.
"There is labor." When the shopkeeper saw someone open the door, he immediately stepped forward and said in a polite and slightly anxious tone, "I am the money shopkeeper of Qingfeng Building." ”
He grabbed the little guy who wanted to speak, and shook his hands.
"There's really an urgent matter that I have to come and bother."
"There are two girls in the inn below who have been guests in your mansion before, but now the time has passed, and they have not yet returned to the inn."
"The girl's relatives are very worried, so let me come over and ask one or two."
"I wonder if you can help us get the word out? Let them go home earlier? ”
After the money shopkeeper finished speaking, he raised his eyes and carefully observed the concierge's expression.
"Girl?"
"What girl?"
The porter's face was confused, he turned his head to look at the dark courtyard behind him, and then turned back to the crack in the door with a dissatisfied face.
"In the middle of the night, don't talk nonsense!"
"Except for the maids and cooks in the little lady's courtyard, our Xiao Mansion is all the masters of Yishui!"
A cold wind blew, blowing the doorman sweating profusely, and also blowing the shopkeeper and the little guy outside the door under the cold sweat.
The porter's words made the money shopkeeper secretly scream badly, it seems that someone really abducted the two girls.
What's even more terrifying is that this kidnapper is swaggering in the name of General Xiao's Mansion.
From this point of view, the other party is not afraid of being wanted and arrested by the government at all, and they should have done such an act in order to deliberately smear the Xiao family.
The shopkeeper Qian has been running Qingfeng Building for many years, and he also knows how many things are buried in the soil in the territory of Fengcheng, but it is the first time he has seen someone who will directly provoke the General's Mansion.
This is ......
It's a big problem......
As an old man in Fengcheng, the shopkeeper Qian also admires General Xiao's personality in his heart, and it is indeed related to Qingfeng Lou at this time, and he is afraid that he can't wade into this troubled water.
"What my little servant saw with his own eyes was that it was indeed the soldiers of the Xiao Mansion who picked them up." The shopkeeper stubbornly continued, "If we don't see the two girls return tonight, their families will definitely go to the county government early tomorrow morning to report to the official." ”
This sounds like a naked shit pot planted on the head of Xiao Mansion, and the porter suddenly lost his face.
"Do you have a problem with your brains?"
"This is Xiao Mansion, and the prestige of the old general is not slandered by you Diao people!"
The two inexplicable guys in front of me are afraid that they have hysteria, and they look at other people's doors in the middle of the night and say some inexplicable nonsense.
"The people who were picked up by the carriage of the Xiao Mansion, we don't dare to talk nonsense!"
At a glance, the shopkeeper knew that this little porter had just arrived, and he couldn't hear the meaning of his words at all.
He said: "If their families really go to report to the official tomorrow, the general's face will be gloomy." ”
He said it so bluntly, this should be understood!
The little concierge thought so much, and only felt that these two people were full of food, and they came to Xiao Mansion to find happiness.
He waved his hand impatiently and shouted in a low voice.
"!"
"If you want to report to the official, go and report it!"
"Our Xiao family has never seen any girls, only a little miss in my family!"
Without waiting for the money shopkeeper to say anything more, the porter slammed the door shut.
Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the conservatory to doze off, a small figure not far away jumped from the front yard.
"Little Miss?"
The porter called out in some surprise, bowed his head and bowed respectfully.
"Are you hungry when you're not resting in the house so late?"
Although Su Qingtian has only been here for three days, everyone in the Xiao Mansion knows that this little lady has an excellent appetite, she eats and sleeps and eats well, she is happy every day, and she is fat in vain.
For the sake of his little granddaughter's good food, General Xiao specially found a cook from outside and put it in the courtyard of the little lady, ready to eat for her at any time.
"Is there a man surnamed Qian at the door who came to ask about the two girls?"
Su Qingtian had just finished eating the wine-stuffed balls made by the cook, and she was in a very good mood every day.
Well, it's so sweet~
The porter also heard that his little lady had a heavenly ability, and at first he thought that the people in the courtyard were deliberately boasting in order to tie up with the master, and he was immediately shocked when he saw the deity for the first time today.
How did it happen just now, this little ancestor said it all.
It's amazing!
"Yes, there is a treasurer."
The little porter knelt directly on the ground in fright, and said indiscriminately, "The little one didn't know that he was a guest of the little lady, and I thought he was here to make trouble at the Xiao family, so ...... So I just sent it away. ”
"It's fine."
Su Qingtian didn't expect the porter to be so timid, she patted the man's head and comforted, "Open the door, I'll say a few words to them." ”
Seeing that the little lady was not angry, the porter hurriedly got up and opened the door.
Seeing Su Qingtian's short calves struggling to praise the threshold, he reacted and hurriedly followed over to protect him.
