Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 986 The Tiger's Den
"In this case, I can rest assured."

Lu Baichuan nodded symbolically without showing much emotion.

"Everyone please come in, I will definitely entertain you well."

Xiaopang was very enthusiastic and felt that it was rare for such important people to come here once, so he must treat them well.

"No, we have to go on our way, so I won't bother you anymore."

Lu Baichuan refused coldly, but he still had the due etiquette.

Seeing them coming and going in a hurry, Xiaopang had a pity on his face and said words of reservation and pity.

Qin Jian was not willing to stay any longer and said: "We are here just to settle down Miss Qinglian. Since Mr. Zhao can handle it well, we will set off now."

When he said this, he saw Qinglian's face filled with disbelief and resentment that she had been cheated of her feelings by a scumbag.

The incident happened suddenly, and although it was a little embarrassing, he had to do it, so he winked at Qinglian, meaning to calm her down.

Qinglian now really felt as if she had been deceived. These people said they would help her get revenge, and they came to the Yamen just to find helpers. But when they came, they didn't mention anything about the bandits and wanted to leave her behind.

She wanted to ask at that time, but seeing that all these adults had sullen faces, she did not dare to ask. But just when she was desperate, another adult winked at her again.

Are there other arrangements?
Yes, we agreed to come over and ask for help, why didn’t you mention it now?

Plans changed?

No matter what, she decided to believe them once, believing that they would come again.

As for them not mentioning the bandits, then just pretend that you don't know and take a gamble.

So, she nodded and said, "Thank you, sir."

After that, the group didn't stay any longer and left on horseback.

However, there were two fewer guards who went out of the city together. Lu Baichuan arranged to watch the little fat man's movements secretly and protect Miss Qinglian.

"What a bad luck. I thought I would have a place to sleep tonight, but I didn't expect that I would have to use the sky as my bed and the earth as my bed!"

After leaving the city and making sure that no one was following him, Qin Jian jumped off his horse, sat down on the lawn, and sighed.

"Sir, weren't we going to the Yamen to find some help? Why did we leave without mentioning anything?"

Some people were very puzzled and asked.

Lu Baichuan sat aside and drank water. He did not answer, but was thinking about what to do next.

At this time, Qin Jian came in handy. He glanced at the guard and said, "Stupid! Didn't you see something was wrong with that fat man?"

The guard was even more confused, wasn't he quite enthusiastic?What's wrong?

Others were also confused and gathered around. Qin Jian then asked: "Let me ask you, where is this place?"

"Xingchun County."

"What are the characteristics?"

"Characteristics? There shouldn't be any special features. It just looks like the city is quite poor. It's not far from the capital. I really don't understand why it's so poor here."

The guard who spoke scratched his head. He really didn't expect there to be such a poor place under the imperial city.

No matter how remote it is, it won't be so poor, right?
Just walking on the street, the people on the street were like walking zombies, with sad faces and no smile at all.

"Yes! Isn't it just poverty?"

Qin Jian clapped his hands and continued: "The people are so poor, but the county magistrate is fat and smooth. Isn't this a problem?"

Everyone immediately understood that there was something wrong with the fat man!

"Oh, then why did we keep the girl? Is the girl still safe?" Someone realized it later and looked surprised.

"Didn't you send someone to keep an eye on it? Why do you guys have so many brains that you forgot to bring them when you went out?"

Qin Jian felt that he was a big-brained person. He didn't expect that he could still find a sense of superiority in front of these people. It was really not easy!

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then someone asked in a low voice: "Then what do we do next?"

Qin Jian was also puzzled and looked at Lu Baichuan.

Lu Baichuan lay down on the lawn behind and said, "Sleep."

Crowd: ? ? ?
Qin Jian: "Oh, yes, yes, sleep! Only when you are full will you be energetic enough to work!"

He was like a roundworm in Lu Baichuan's belly, driving everyone to sleep.

There are few people here, so it’s okay to get some light sleep.

Over at the Yamen, Qinglian was temporarily placed in a spare room in the Yamen. It was a bit dilapidated, but overall it was clean.

Qinglian said thank you and wanted to stay behind closed doors. She was a little scared and always felt that the way Mr. Zhao looked at her was not serious.

She was afraid that she would escape from the wolf's den but enter the tiger's den again.

Her parents and brother were gone, and her sister-in-law was still suffering in the bandits' den, but there was nothing she could do.

More importantly, I don't know if Lu Baichuan and the others are reliable. If they are not reliable, I can't hide here and wait in vain.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door. Qinglian was startled and looked at the door warily.

Before I could ask, Master Zhao's voice came from the crack in the door: "Miss Qinglian, have you packed up? I want to know the truth about your situation. Do you mind if I come in for a cup of tea?" "

Hearing this, Qinglian looked around. There was only a table and a bed in the room, and there wasn't even a pot of water. What kind of tea would he come in to drink?

Furthermore, if you really want to ask about her situation, why don't you go out and ask in a dignified manner, but come to her room to ask?

There isn't even a small stool to sit on in this place, so does Mr. Zhao have to sit on the bed directly?

"Sir, the little girl is feeling a little uncomfortable and has already gone to bed. Can I ask again tomorrow?"

I thought that Mr. Zhao would leave after saying this, but when the other party heard this, he actually became anxious: "Ah, you are not feeling well. I will order someone to find a doctor to take a look at you!"

With that said, he left regardless of Qinglian's objections.

Qinglian was worried that he had really gone to see the doctor, so she hurriedly opened the door to stop him, but as soon as the door opened, Fatty Zhao stood outside the door and looked at her with a smile, not wanting to ask the doctor at all. mean.

Qinglian's face turned pale, knowing that she had been cheated. She wanted to close the door but couldn't.

Fatty Zhao put one hand on the door, and the smile on his face became more and more obscene. He asked softly, "Isn't this nice of Miss Qinglian? Why do you not want to see me so much?"

"No, no, sir, I, I am really...ah!"

She wanted to explain, but Fatty Zhao had already barged into the house regardless and closed the door behind her back.

"What do you want to do, sir!"

Qinglian is now sure that she has entered the tiger's den. Fatty Zhao is not a good person!
"Hehehe, didn't I say that I need to find out the girl's situation personally?"

As he said that, he wanted to step forward and hold Qinglian's hand.

Qinglian ducked away instantly, her body trembling: "Those two adults asked you to settle me down properly!"

"What the girl said, isn't this me trying to settle you down? Isn't it a good idea not to be my concubine but to stay with me?"
