Under the curtain of rain, a large number of soldiers rushed towards the destination indicated by the orders issued by their superiors.
As the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought, the place where these soldiers were going was where many merchants lived.
As the soldiers arrived, the merchants were in a panic. Many of them were thinking quickly whether they had gotten into any trouble, so these soldiers came here.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
"Open the door." There was a rapid knock on the door, and at the same time there were shouts from soldiers.
After a while, the doors of many merchants' houses were opened, and then a large number of soldiers entered the merchants' houses and began to search them carefully.
After a period of confusion, the soldiers gained nothing, and then all the soldiers left the place where they were searching.
"My goods are so messed up that I will spend a lot of time sorting them out."
"What are those soldiers looking for? They look very anxious."
"Does anyone know?"
"That's not clear."
"I managed to put the warehouse in order, and now it's a mess. What's this?"
Complaints sounded one after another. These businessmen only dared to complain after the soldiers left, but they did not dare to say these things in front of them, otherwise they would be scolded, and in more serious cases, they would be arrested and put in prison for a few days.
In the distance, at the end of the street, a soldier captain stood under the eaves. He folded his hands on his chest and closed his eyes to meditate.
There was the sound of footsteps in my ears, and soon a subordinate came to the soldier captain and reported to him the search situation.
"Captain, we searched carefully and found no rebels."
"Have you searched the homes of each of your merchants?" the soldier captain opened his eyes and looked at his men with burning eyes and asked.
"No one dares to take this matter lightly. The search process was very careful." His subordinate quickly said that he did not dare to slack off in this matter.
The soldier captain looked at his men, and after half a minute, he sighed.
"Now we have found nothing, it's a little hard to explain when we go back."
The subordinate rolled his eyes when he heard this, then he lowered his voice and made a suggestion in a low voice.
"Why don't we just grab some people and go back to work, so we won't disappoint the Lord."
After hearing what his men said, the soldier captain's face suddenly became serious.
"That adult is not easy to fool. If we do this, if he finds out, we won't be able to eat and walk around."
"Uh..." The subordinate was startled, hesitating and not daring to speak any more.
"Don't have such thoughts in the future. Now go and gather everyone, and we will report truthfully when we go back..." the soldier captain ordered.
"Yes." The subordinate nodded, then turned and left, walked into the rain curtain, and ran quickly towards where his companions were.
Not long after, many soldiers gathered and began to return towards the city lord's palace.
Although it is raining heavily now, many residents are full of curiosity when they hear the movement on the street.
Residents quietly opened their windows and looked out onto the street. When they saw many soldiers passing by their homes, they couldn't help but become nervous and secretly prayed that these soldiers would not come to their homes.
Not long after, all the soldiers left and the place where they were searched returned to silence.
…………
Thunder and lightning flashed continuously in the sky, and a large amount of rain fell on the house and along the eaves to the ground, forming small streams.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood in front of the window, watching a large amount of rainwater flowing into the low-lying areas on the road. His thoughts involuntarily spread out, imagining the scene of rainwater gathering in the low-lying areas.
Not long after, dense footsteps appeared at the end of the street.
At this time, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to his senses and looked towards the end of the street. He suddenly saw the soldiers he had seen before.
These soldiers were very fast at this moment. They passed by the door of the inn and disappeared quickly.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead found that these soldiers were intact and judged that they had just gone on a mission and did not find the target. Otherwise, it would not be like this.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the door of the room, and after a while, the waiter walked into the room.
At this moment, he was holding a plate of fruit in his hand, which was ordered by the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
"Your Majesty, please use it with caution."
The waiter put the fruit in his hand on the table, then turned and left.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stopped him at this time and asked, "Didn't you say before that the warehouse was recruiting thieves? Has the same thing happened in the warehouse during this time?"
The waiter shook his head, "That's not true. The warehouse has not been robbed since the last time it was robbed."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded, and then the waiter left. He sat at the table and ate fruit. After a while, the sound of wind and thunder outside became smaller.
Time passed, and towards evening, the rain that had been falling all day became very light.
This weather change is surprising, because the recent heavy rainstorms have lasted for a long time, and it is rare for the rain to lighten up so quickly.
Many people think that the lightening of the rain now is only temporary, and it will rain heavily again soon.
However, the development of things was beyond everyone's expectation. The rain finally stopped and it did not rain as hard as everyone thought.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood in front of the window, looking at the sky that was gradually clearing, with a surprised expression on his face.
"The heavy rain stopped so quickly this time. Could it be that the rainy season has changed?"
As the heavy rain stopped, the streets gradually became lively. You could see many people coming out of their homes and starting shopping on the streets.
Stores that were previously closed were opened, and small vendors also came out to set up stalls.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked out of the inn. He walked around the street for a while, looking at the lively streets, he couldn't help but sigh.
"It was raining heavily not long ago, but now that the rain has stopped, the deserted streets have immediately returned to life. Everyone is really hardworking."
"Gululu..." His stomach growled. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had eaten some fruit just now, but he soon became hungry.
He looked around and then randomly found a restaurant to eat.
After dinner, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came out of the restaurant. He did not go back to the inn to rest, but walked to where the soldiers he saw during the day were going.
Although the soldiers were safe and sound, and most likely no battle broke out, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead still wanted to go to the scene to see for himself.
It took him more than ten minutes to reach his destination.
Passers-by eating at the stalls set up by vendors on the roadside were talking animatedly about what happened not long ago.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood on the roadside and listened. Through some information revealed by passers-by, he roughly knew the process of the soldiers' previous search in this area.
As expected, the soldiers searched the place carefully and found nothing.
"A battle broke out earlier to capture the rebels, and the rebels were rescued. It seems that the big shot sent a lot of people to search, but unfortunately, the rescued rebel was not captured in the end..."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was muttering to himself regretfully. At this moment, chaos suddenly broke out at the end of the street.
"Get out of the way."
"Don't block the road."
A rough voice shouted loudly. Passers-by on the road were startled when they heard the sound and quickly retreated to both sides of the road.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood on tiptoes and looked into the distance. He suddenly saw a luxurious carriage.
This carriage is very familiar. It is the carriage that the big man rides in. There are many soldiers guarding the surroundings, asking passers-by to quickly get out of the congested road.
"The rain has just stopped, why did this big man come out?" The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was a little confused when he saw the luxurious carriage appearing on the street.
However, he soon guessed a possibility. There was a high probability that this big man appeared now to attract the hiding rebels.
At this time, the rebels were hiding very secretly, and the person they hated most was probably this big shot.
If there was a chance to take action against this big shot, those rebels would not easily miss such a good opportunity.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the luxurious carriage, his eyes moving as the carriage moved.
There are many passers-by on both sides of the street, and they don't dare to speak now, for fear of offending these people they can't afford to offend, and getting into trouble.
The luxurious carriage moved slowly, and it took a long time to reach the end of the street, then turned a corner and disappeared.
The quiet streets soon returned to bustling scenes after the big shots left.
Passers-by whispered in lowered volumes, discussing the big shot just now.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead listened to the comments of passers-by around him, then turned and left.
He is leaving the city now and wants to avoid getting into trouble as much as possible.
…………
Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon fly like a shuttle.
There is not a single white cloud in the clear sky, and the sun hangs high in the sky, pouring bright sunlight on the earth.
In the inn, a figure lying on the bed opened his eyes.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead yawned, then got up and got out of bed. After eating breakfast, he came out of the inn and called a carriage on the roadside.
"Da, da, da..."
The horse's hooves trampled on the ground, making a crisp sound, and the carriage ran quickly on the road.
In the past few days, the city has been very peaceful, with no incidents happening at all. It is so peaceful that people are not used to it.
Of course, this unaccustomed feeling is only limited to a small number of people.
Most ordinary residents very much hope that this kind of peace can continue forever.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the street scene outside the carriage, his thoughts diverging in his mind.
A few days ago, after the heavy rain stopped, he wandered on the street and saw a big shot going out. He guessed that the other person wanted to use himself as bait to attract the hiding rebels.
However, in the following days, although big shots appeared on the streets from time to time, no rebels took the bait.
Obviously, the rebels are more cautious than imagined.
"Uu."
The driver pulled the reins to stop the horse. When the carriage stopped, he immediately shouted to the passengers in the car.
"Sir, we've arrived."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead opened the curtain and got out of the car, paid the fare, and asked the driver to wait for him for a while, then he walked quickly to the Chamber of Commerce across the street.
Before he came here, the Chamber of Commerce's premises was being renovated and he was unable to meet the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce.
Over the past few days, the Chamber of Commerce's premises has been renovated and has become more magnificent, and many staff are busy at the moment.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead explained his intention, and the guard standing guard at the gate immediately went to report.
Within a few minutes, a steward came to the door of the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters and led the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead deeper into the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters.
About an hour later, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked out of the chamber of commerce, accompanied by the steward. At this moment, both parties' faces were full of smiles.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead smiled and said, "Just send it here, there is no need to send it again."
"Sir, please walk slowly," the steward said enthusiastically.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, nodded slightly and then walked across the street.
The coachman waited for a long time and felt relieved when he saw the guest coming back.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, asked the coachman to wait at the roadside. He said he would be back soon, but due to some delays, the coachman thought the guest was not coming back, so he wasted a lot of time.
"Master, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."
"It doesn't matter." The coachman said with a smile.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead took the carriage again, and the coachman took him back to the inn.
Now he returns to the inn to pack his things and prepare to leave the city.
I just met with the president of the Chamber of Commerce and learned about the progress of the matter.
He knew that the other party was secretly arranging manpower, but because there had been a lot of things happening in the city recently, it would take some time to recruit enough manpower for mining.
Fortunately, the first batch of manpower has almost been recruited and can set off within half a month.
"Sir, why are you back so soon today?" The waiter said in surprise when he saw the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
"I've finished my work, and I'm leaving this city next." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said with a smile.
Then, he went back to the guest room to pack his things, settled the bill with the inn, and tipped the waiter some money.
Amid the waiter's repeated thanks, he left the inn and took a carriage to the city gate.
