When the county magistrate came in with his people, the boss in the accounting room turned to talk to the people: "Now that you can go out, hurry up and report the news!"
The man who worked as a long-term worker before now no longer stuttered at all, and asked back: "What should I say? It doesn't sound good!"
They came here temporarily on errands. They were not local people and did not know the county magistrate. Seeing that he was caught by Mr. Xu's words, they felt a little anxious.
The boss sighed: "Of course I'm telling the truth. So many people died last night, do you think you can still deceive the master?"
When I think about what happened last night, my boss has a toothache.
I thought that I paid enough attention to it and deployed hundreds of people. I didn't expect that the Xu family guards were so powerful. They discovered the loophole in advance and killed them all.
Fortunately, not only did they lose their manpower, but they also trapped themselves. The fat man had really powerful eyes. He almost grabbed all the hands of the men in the inn. They were afraid that they would be caught, so they didn't even dare to go to the cellar to silence themselves.
.
When the matter has reached this point, the plan has completely failed, and there is nothing they can do to remedy it. Even if they know that they will be severely punished after reporting the matter, they can only explain everything clearly.
If the master reacts in time and solves the matter later, then they still have a way to survive. If not, the only thing waiting for them is death.
The two checked the information, and the long-term worker finally found an opportunity to sneak out of the inn.
Seeing that the homing pigeon flew far away safely, he returned to the inn with confidence and continued to stare at the target, waiting for his master's orders.
…
The Wei family in Jiangdu City.
In the west courtyard, the maids stood around holding objects.
The eldest maid Ding Xiang looked over one by one, picking things and talking to her master.
"Miss, what do you think of this? The craftsmanship of the Li family, a tailor shop on Baixi Road, is famous for its meticulousness."
The lady sitting on the chair by the window is reading a book. She has a moon-shaped face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and phoenix eyes. She is a rare beauty.
She raised her head, glanced at it gently, and said, "It's so beautiful."
Ding Xiang immediately put down the dress and picked up a skirt: "What about this one? Although it is plain, the embroidery skills are good."
The young lady was still dissatisfied: "If you are so plain, how can you accessorize it?"
Lilac had to put it down and pick something else.
Before she could say anything else, there was a noise outside, and the maid guarding the courtyard door called: "Second Master."
The young lady put down her book and just stood up when she saw a middle-aged man hurriedly coming in from outside, shouting: "Xiaosi, something is wrong!"
The young lady frowned, glanced at her, and Ding Xiang immediately took the maids out, leaving space for them.
When they were the only two people left in the room, the young lady walked over and said, "Father, everything is fine, why is it not fine?"
The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed over the note in his hand: "Look, the news I just received."
The young lady read it quickly and became furious. She slapped the table with her palm: "What a waste! With so many people, they were all killed!"
She gathered the old soldiers from Jiangbei, tamed them bit by bit, and raised them with painstaking efforts for so many years, but they were all killed in one fell swoop.
She was saving this for critical moments in the future!
Miss Wei Si pressed her chest, feeling extremely distressed.
Her father, Mr. Wei Er, looked at his daughter carefully and comforted: "Xiaosi, don't worry, I will ask your uncle to send more manpower, so that Miss Xu cannot reach Jiangdu!"
Seeing him turning around to leave, Miss Wei Si couldn't care less about her heartache and quickly shouted: "Father, don't go!"
Mr. Wei Er stopped and looked at her puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Miss Wei Si suppressed her displeasure and patiently explained: "Miss Xu has been attacked once, and she will be more careful next time. If we send more people now, it is very likely that it will not be successful. If Miss Xu does not die,
If we sue him before the prince, what should we do?"
"This..." Mr. Wei Er couldn't answer.
Miss Wei Si was already used to her father's stupidity and continued: "We are in such a situation now. Miss Xu didn't die even once, so why would she give us a chance to assassinate her? Not only that, the Xu family will definitely not give up.
, I’m afraid I have to seek justice in front of the prince.”
When it was said that this matter was going to be brought before the prince, Master Wei was a little panicked: "Then what should we do?"
Miss Wei Si said: "Father, have you forgotten? We killed Miss Xu because the prince wanted to marry the Xu family. If the prince and the Xu family turn against each other, it doesn't matter whether they are killed or not."
Thinking of this, she curled her lips in disdain. The Xu twins, who sounded so famous at first glance, were actually just relying on their beauty. What's the use of looks alone? They're just playthings.
She doesn't care at all whether Miss Xu dies or not, as long as the marriage doesn't happen.
Thinking of this, she cheered up and discussed the matter with her father: "Father, I will go to my uncle now and tell him everything about this, and then I will ask him to go to the palace..."
Mr. Wei Er nodded repeatedly, left his daughter's yard, and immediately rushed to see his brother.
After hearing what he said, Mr. Wei didn't care about being angry and hurriedly went to the palace. But he did not ask to see King Dongjiang, but asked Chang Shi. At the same time, Mrs. Wei met with the princess...
After being busy for several days, Mr. Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief and called his younger brother: "Okay, please rest assured, Xiaosi, we have already made arrangements."
When Miss Xu was attacked, she would definitely complain to King Dongjiang. He took precautions first and asked people close to him to accidentally say something in front of King Dongjiang. When Miss Xu actually came to complain, the matter would be muddied.
The prince is about to die, and the prince is not sure when he will inherit the title. Choosing the crown prince for the prince at this time is also choosing the princess for the future Dongjiang Palace.
The prince will definitely not like it. The future princess is a complicated person.
Miss Wei Si laughed when she heard the news, and told Ding Xiang with great interest: "Just the Li family on Baixi Road, let them come into the house tomorrow!"
"yes!"
…
Inside the inn, five days have passed, and the Xu family guards still have no intention of leaving.
"The county magistrate came again and asked us when we are leaving." Wei Jun reported, "Miss Third, when are we leaving?"
Xu Yin leaned on the lounge chair under the tree, with a book covering his face, and said lazily: "If you don't leave, what's the point of walking?"
Xu Ze was curious and couldn't help but ask: "Third sister, what are you waiting for if you don't leave now?"
Xu Yin's voice floated out from under the book: "Brother, what do you think we will do if we leave?"
Xu Ze thought for a while and replied: "Of course we can't just let this matter go. We must ask King Dongjiang to give us an explanation!"
"That's right!" Xu Yin moved the book away, "Then we will go to the King of Dongjiang to file a lawsuit. But we have no evidence, how can we file a lawsuit?"
Xu Ze was stunned: "Then what's the use of staying here?"
Xu Yin smiled and said meaningfully: "Didn't King Dongjiang warmly invite you? Of course, I will wait for them to come and invite me again."
