Chapter 203
"But you are a general, it's hard to come forward in these matters, I can handle them well."

Although she saved Nan Guojin once, Ken didn't think about asking him for anything in return.

"Thank you, Mr. Nangong, for your kindness." Xu Miaomiao saluted with Nangong Jin in mind, and prepared to leave after delivering the things.

"Miss Xu!"

Just as she was about to leave, Nangong Jin called her to stop.

Xu Miaomiao looked back.

"Remember to find me if you need anything."

Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao grinned, nodded and turned to leave.

After what happened in the morning, there were not many people in the shop, so Xu Miaomiao closed the shop early.

"Miaomiao, will we still open tomorrow?" Gu Yuanniang looked at Xu Miaomiao and asked.

"Open!" Xu Miaomiao sighed and propped up her body: "If you don't open it, don't you just tell those people clearly, are we afraid, this store must stay open!"

"Okay." Gu Yuanniang responded, slipping out a letter from her cuff: "There is one thing that I haven't told you all this time. There is something wrong with the goods we transported from Bai County to the capital."

"What!" Xu Miaomiao jumped up and took the letter in Gu Yuanniang's hand. The handwriting made her recognize Village Chief Wang's handwriting at a glance.

The general content is that when the goods were passing the mountain, they were robbed by a group of bandits who suddenly appeared.

"How unreasonable!" After reading the letter, Xu Miaomiao felt aggrieved in her heart: "We didn't always take the official road, why did we suddenly take the mountain road?"

"I don't know." Gu Yuanniang responded: "The previous two batches of goods arrived faster than the previous ones, but I didn't pay much attention to them. I'm afraid it's been a long time since I went through the official path."

"

Xu Miaomiao pinched the bridge of her nose tiredly, looked at Gu Yuanniang and continued to say: "Tomorrow morning, I will go back to Bai County to see what happened when I fell to the ground, Liu Niang, you are still open the shop, remember to go and don't get into conflict with others , but don’t let others bully you.”

"En." Gu Yuanniang nodded, "Don't worry Miao Miao."

Thinking that both Gu Yuanniang and Song Weiwei had impulsive personalities, Xu Miaomiao told Xu Qingshan about it, and troubled him to write to her as soon as possible if he had anything to do.

After arranging everything properly, Xu Miaomiao drove away in the carriage.

When they came and went to the capital, they usually followed the official road, so nothing unusual happened.

When I returned to the village of the village, fly ash came out from the chimney of my empty house.

Xu Miaomiao frowned, and walked in curiously.

There was a woman lying inside, wearing only a bellyband on her upper body, smoking a cigarette while leaning on her waistband. Seeing Xu Miaomiao, the woman was a little surprised: "Who are you, who allowed you to come in."

Before Xu Miaomiao could speak, another man came in behind him, holding a cooking spoon in his hand: "Who are you, do you know that breaking into a private house is illegal?"

"So you also know that breaking into a private house is illegal." Xu Miaomiao looked at the group of men and women in front of him and said, "Who are you, you dare to come to our house!"

The woman's eyes flicked many times, and she winked at the man.

The man held the rice spoon in his hand and was about to throw it at Xu Miaomiao, but Xu Miaomiao avoided it.

Seeing that Xu Miaomiao was fine, the two of them took their clothes and prepared to run away. They happened to meet Village Chief Wang who came in to look for Xu Miaomiao.

"Where are you going?"

Village head Wang pulled the two people who were in a hurry and asked curiously.

The two still wanted to break free, but they couldn't match the strength of the man.

"Don't let them run away."

Xu Miaomiao's voice came from behind, and Village Chief Wang held the two of them tighter: "Miss Xu, what's going on."

"Village chief, I also want to ask, as soon as I got home, I saw these two people in my house, what happened?"

Village head Wang looked at Xu Miaomiao with some confusion, so he said, "These two said they were your friends, their house was burned down, and the key you gave them was lost on the road, so they moved in here."

"I don't know them at all." Xu Miaomiao looked at the two and said.

The village chief who was on the side was a little shocked when he heard this, and immediately asked someone to send the two to the government: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Xu, this matter is all my fault, and I didn't ask clearly, so this kind of thing happened. Come."

"It's okay." Xu Miaomiao waved his hand: "I just need to ask the village chief to help me look at it later, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes."

"Don't worry."

"By the way, why did the village chief come to see me this time?" Xu Miaomiao asked.

Village head Wang suddenly realized and patted his head: "I heard someone said they saw your carriage, so I came to you immediately. I'm sorry for you, Mrs. Xu."

With that said, Village Chief Wang was about to kneel down to Xu Miaomiao.

Xu Miaomiao immediately stopped the man who was about to kneel down and said, "What are you doing?"

"Miss Xu, I'm sorry for you." Village head Wang looked at Xu Miaomiao while talking: "It's all my son's idea, saying that walking closer to the mountain road can save a lot of money. There is no problem with the two trips, but I don’t know why, suddenly a group of robbers came down from the mountain and took away all the cotton and pears we harvested.”

Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao pursed her mouth into a straight line and looked at the man and said, "Since this matter has already happened, we should think about how to solve it, and what we say in our hearts will not help the matter."

Xu Miaomiao thought for a while and watched the man continue to speak: "Have you ever tried to negotiate with those gangsters?"

"I've tried it." Village Chief Wang said earnestly, "But they will not agree to return the goods to us. Even if they report to the officials, it will be useless."

"I see." Xu Miaomiao nodded: "There are too many items in this batch of goods, and they are also worth a lot, so they definitely can't be counted like this, but even if they took those goods, they didn't have any. They must want to talk to us about it. Talk about a deal."

"Miss Xu, what are you?"

Village Chief Wang watched Xu Miaomiao unload the carriage from the horse.

"Is it the road behind the mountain?" Xu Miaomiao asked while riding on the horse, looking at the man below.

"Yes" the man nodded: "Miss Xu, do you want to go alone?"

"Correct."

"No, those thieves are extremely vicious. Let's go with some young and strong guys."

"It's okay." Xu Miaomiao shook her head, "It's just Village Chief Wang, if I don't come back, remember to deliver a letter to the capital for me."

Before Village Chief Wang agreed, he saw Xu Miaomiao leaving on a horse, and he had long since disappeared.

And in the capital city, Erbao couldn't find Xu Miaomiao's figure all day long, and pouted at Gu Yuanniang in dissatisfaction: "Aunt Gu, where's mother?"

"Er Treasure." Gu Yuanniang touched her head and said, "Mother will be back in two days."
