Chapter Twenty-Four: Someone Sets Up a Bureau
Jiang Ye nodded and replied, "I heard it." β
"The weaker a person is, the easier it is to be bullied, and the same is true for kindness. So to deal with those who want to bully you, morally kidnap people who want to take advantage of you, you have to be strong and tough, in order to protect yourself and your family. If I hadn't been ruthless just now, we would have been the ones who would have been pinched in the end. And if there is one, there will be two. So the best thing is not to give them any hope and opportunity. β
After Tao Qiqi finished speaking, Fang Yu in the carriage poked his head out and said, "Qiqi, thank you just now." β
"Thank you, we're on a team now, how can we watch you being bullied by them? But you were also very good just now, next time you meet them, if they still come to provoke us, you can show your momentum just now, don't be afraid of them. β
"But, after all, they are elders."
Hearing this, Tao Qiqi turned around and gently knocked on Fang Yu's Heavenly Spirit Cover.
"What elders, elders? You don't have anything to do with them now. There's no need to worry about that. What's more, even if they are elders, it depends on whether they have the appearance of elders or not. There is a saying that if people do not offend me, I will not offend others, and if people offend, I will return three stitches (cutting the grass and eradicating the roots). β
"What Qiqi said makes sense, I will learn more from you in the future."
"Okay, then you all should learn from me." Tao Qiqi expressed helplessness in her heart, she just thought about it more clearly, and everyone said that they wanted to learn from her.
But even so, she didn't stop her.
After that, several people in the carriage began to chat with each other all the way.
Before dark, the group finally managed to enter the county seat just as the city gate was about to close.
Now follow Jiang Gongzi and them on their way, anyway, someone pays all the way, Tao Qiqi naturally has no objection to going into the city to rest.
However, after only one night's rest, Jiang Ye found a post house to live in, and a group of nine people asked for a chase shop, so that it was convenient to take care of each other when they lived together.
I thought that if I lived in the county seat, I could sleep peacefully at night.
But as soon as the group lay down, a noisy sound came from the street outside the post house.
"It's the middle of the night, why is it so noisy outside?" Tao Qiqi, who was by the window, said as he tried to open his eyes and look out the window.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you are startled when you see it, and you are scared in an instant when you are sleepy, "It's not good, the post house is surrounded by officers and soldiers." β
Hearing Tao Qiqi's words, everyone got up from the bed in a flash.
"Don't panic, let's see what the situation is." Tao Qiqi got up and walked lightly to the door of the room as he spoke.
Then he opened the door a little bit and looked out.
Although he couldn't see anything in front of him, he could still hear the voice downstairs.
"Search me, inside and out, every room for me to search carefully, be sure to search people. If you can't find anyone tonight, don't even think about it. β
"Official, what is this?"
"In the evening, someone sneaked into the county government and stole two hundred taels of silver from our lordship. Someone saw that this man did not leave the city after leaving the county office, so this man must have stayed in the city tonight. My lord said that he must catch him tonight. Searchβ"
With a search, Tao Qiqi heard a large group of officers and soldiers walking upstairs.
At the same time, Tao Qiqi, who has a sensitive ear, also heard another different footsteps, and the sound came from the roof.
After a while, the footsteps on the roof stopped on the room of Peach Qiqi for a moment, and then one of them rolled over and got off the roof.
Just as the figure wanted to enter through the window of Tao Qiqi's room, Tao Qiqi's eyes flew over with a silver needle.
As she expected, the figure was very agile and dodged.
Of course, as she expected, Tao Qiqi put three stitches in a row, and the last two stitches hit the figure who wanted to enter their room accurately.
After being hit by the hidden weapon, he fell straight down the window.
I only heard the sound of a thud and a body hitting the ground.
And Tao Qiqi quickly closed the window.
As the windows closed, the officers and soldiers approached their rooms and stopped at the door of their rooms.
"Open the door and search!"
Hearing the voices of the officers and soldiers outside the door, Chang Wu opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, the officers and soldiers outside the door immediately gathered around.
The official looked at everyone and asked, "The county government has stolen and the government has searched, so please cooperate." When did you enter the city? β
Jiang Ye stood up and replied slowly: "Close the city gate for a while." β
The official continued to ask, "Did you hear or see anything unusual tonight?" β
Jiang Ye shook his head: "No." We all just fell asleep. β
"My lord, after the search, I didn't find anything abnormal."
Hearing the report from his subordinates, the expression on the official's face was surprised for a moment, and this moment's surprise was fully seen by Tao Qiqi.
However, since they didn't find anyone, they couldn't continue to move on to the next step, so the official finally had to say slowly: "There is no one here, then continue to search other places until the person is found." β
After the words fell, the official master took people and left Tao Qiqi's room.
Chang Wu watched the group leave, quickly closed the door of the room again, and put his ears close to the door and heard that those people had gone downstairs, Chang Wu put down his tense expression and said, "I thought these people were coming for us." Fortunately, there is no danger. β
After Tao Qiqi on the side made sure that he didn't listen to the people at the root of the wall, he replied lightly: "These people originally planned to come to us, but their plan failed, so in order not to startle the snake, so they could only leave disappointed." β
Hearing Tao Qiqi's answer, Zhao Song and Zhao Hu looked incredulous.
Chang Wu and Chang Ning are well-informed, so they react relatively quickly, and they quickly understand.
"Meaning, this is actually a game set up by someone?" Chang Ning asked.
"And what is their purpose?" Although Chang Wu understood, he didn't understand their purpose.
Jiang Ye on the side explained: "It's very simple, the person who was stopped out of the window just now is actually the person they are looking for. If that person had managed to hide in our room just now, and the officers and soldiers had found out, we would have been arrested as accomplices. β
Chang Wu: "But if that's the case, they don't need to go through so much trouble, right?" β
Tao Qiqi nodded: "Indeed." But they did it to kill two birds with one stone. β
Zhao Song: "How do you kill two birds with one stone?" β
Tao Qiqi patiently explained in a whisper: "First, if their purpose is simply because of your son, they naturally don't need to go to such great lengths, but their current purpose is to have one more person who rescued you two times ago."
So they want to take us all away to determine the relationship between that man and your son, and see if he will show up again to save you. Then they cast a net to catch those who save you, and if they can use it for them, it will be the icing on the cake for them, and if they can't, then they will be killed.
Second, if that person succeeds in entering our room and is arrested with us, if we fail to find out about his problem, and finally he applies to join our team and flee with us, then in the end our words and deeds will be known to those behind the scenes. β
