Chapter 216 That’s how it works!(1/2)

Donor Xie Jian did not wait for their answer.

Minding his own business, he quickly ran to his luggage, dug out the few clothes he had, and found a bag to wrap them up.

"Let's go, let's go now!"

He put the burden on his shoulders and walked forward as fast as he could.

That posture...

He was afraid that if he ran slower, he would not be able to go back.

Shao Jingheng and Chu Zhaoci saw it in their eyes, but they just watched silently. No one said anything until they approached the city gate.

Only then did Shao Jingheng speak.

He told Xie Jian the purpose of his trip to the city.

After saying that, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, after entering the city this time, you can have a good time with your family."

"When we finish our work, we will find you."

The implication is that you don’t need to intervene in this matter. You can go home and have fun while we finish solving the matter...

I will pick you up and continue your escape.

Why did Xie Jian's heart suddenly stop beating?

Fortunately, a certain nun who is proficient in medical skills is here.

Just look at a certain nun holding a shining silver needle in her hand and playing with it, her indifferent thin lips slightly curved to smear evil.

Xie Jian...he understands!

With the identity of the young master of the Xie family, it is indeed much easier to enter the city.

In order to prevent being discovered, the little nun also changed her clothes, took off her little robe that had not changed for thousands of years, and asked Chang Shi for a coarse cloth.

Chang Donor is very tall.

His clothes were actually a bit too big for the little nun.

Shao Jingheng wanted to lend her his clothes.

Although Shao Jingheng was taller than her, he was still of the same age, and he was only half a head or more taller than her.

Furthermore, Shen Lanhua didn't buy clothes for Shao Jingheng before. Many of his clothes were from a few years ago and should be about the same on a little nun.

But goose...

guess what?

"Donor Shao's clothes are too torn and they look dirty. I don't like them."

dislike...

Naked disgust!

Shao Jingheng's clothes are indeed shabby, but they are not dirty. He has washed them all!

Since people don't want...

Then he, Shao Jingheng, would definitely not stick to someone else's cold butt.

He folded the clothes and put them into the bag.

But he whispered disdainfully, "If you don't want to wear it, don't wear it. I won't give it to you!"

The little nun heard it!

But she didn't speak.

Master said, don't waste your time with people who look stingy at first sight, because it won't be of any use.

Even if you quarrel with him and win...

He won’t give you money either!

What's more, Donor Shao is not only stingy, but also poor!

When the soldiers guarding the city heard that the young master from the magistrate's family had returned, they quickly sent someone back to spread the news.

Not long after...

Xie Qingbai hurried out in a carriage.

When he saw his son Shao, Shao Jingheng, and even Chu Zhaoci, his expression suddenly changed.

But he was an old official in the officialdom after all. When Xie Qingbai saw their clothes, he didn't talk to them, but looked at his own idiots and asked questions.

"What have you been doing lately, kid?"

"I've been looking for you for several days, but I still can't find you!"

When Xie Jian heard his father's words, his eyes suddenly widened. Did his father know the lines in advance?

Otherwise, how could they be so cooperative?

On the other hand, the expressions of Shao Jingheng and Chu Zhaoci were much calmer.

They have long known that Xie Qingbai is a smart man. Seeing their clothes, Xie Qingbai will be able to guess something...

Then he won’t say much!

You see, it is indeed so.

Xie Ji'an also cooperated by telling Shao Jingheng to lower himself, and instinctively hugged his buttocks to prevent him from being spanked by his father!

Xie Qingbai raised his foot and kicked him!

After kicking and smashing them, Xie Qingbai pretended to be unhappy and told them to go into the city quickly, cursing in his mouth.

"Go home later and see how I deal with you!"

Xie Ji'an...

He was holding the kicked butt. The kick was so unfair!

The soldiers did not notice anything strange and obediently opened the city gate for the magistrate and let the young master go home!

The journey back to Xie's house went smoothly.

Xie Qingbai had a very unhappy face before entering the door. After entering the door, the moment the housekeeper closed the door.

Xie Qingbai seemed to have changed his face.

His dark face instantly turned white.

When he walked in front of Chu Zhaoci, he was about to salute him, but Chu Zhaoci was the first to stop him.

He didn't say anything, he just stretched out his hand to block Xie Qingbai's move to salute him, and gave him a meaningful look.

Xie Qingbai understood instantly.

He whispered to the housekeeper to watch the door and not allow anyone to come in without his permission, so he took Chu Zhaoci and Shao Jingheng into the house.

Xie Jian originally wanted to go along.

Xie Qingbai kicked him again, "Why are you following me? Get out of the yard and stand still!"

Xie Ji'an...

What did he do wrong?

In the beginning, Shao Jingheng was clearly asked to tie him up while he was escaping, so why was he still angry now?

Xie Qingbai brought Chu Zhaoci and the others into the main hall, asked the accompanying servants to close the door, and dismissed all the maids serving in the hall.

Only then did he respectfully salute Chu Zhaoci again.

Chu Zhaoci didn't care about these red tapes. He went straight to the point, "Isn't Heshui County not peaceful recently?"

Xie Qingbai knew what he wanted to ask.

He nodded and said with a clear tone of voice, "Since the young master doesn't know about it anymore, I won't hide it."

"Recently, troops did come from Heshui County. They said they were officials, and they were amassing money and goods in the county."

"The lower official doubts their identity..."

"I personally took people to the market to intercept them, but they had official tokens in their hands, and even the lower officials did not dare to stop them!"

"not only..."

"Originally, they were only a team of a dozen people, but yesterday their number suddenly doubled, and they became even more wanton in making money."

"I feel something is wrong..."

"People from the official family will never collect people's property, so I just want to confirm the authenticity of their token again."

"But this time there are so many of them, it is really difficult for the soldiers under the command to fight against them, so I can only write to the Holy One."

"But even if you submit a letter, it will take a long time to get results. I don't dare to act rashly and can only wait!"

The officials mentioned here are not emperors.
To be continued...
