The official nodded, stepped aside and made a greeting gesture. Hua Xiaogu thanked the official, and then gently patted Baitao, who had been holding on to her sleeve.
Baitao was really frightened. One second she was preparing to eat, and the next second so many officers and soldiers suddenly fell from the sky and started fighting with the waiter in the store. This kind of sword and sword shadow was something she had never seen before in her life.
She had seen it before. Her face was slightly pale, and she was afraid that Hua Xiaogu would be in danger if she got close to the thieves, so she didn't want to let go for a while.
"Don't worry, there are so many official officials here, and those people won't do anything to me." Hua Xiaogu seemed to know what Baitao was thinking, and comforted her softly.
Baitao let go of her hand, and Hua Xiaogu walked towards one of the waiters.
The four thieves disguised as waiters were pressed to the ground by the officers and were being tied up with ropes. Hua Xiaogu walked in the direction of the waiter who often appeared at their door. When he walked in front of them, she bent down slightly.
"Can you tell me who ordered you to do this?"
The thief raised his eyes and glanced at Hua Xiaogu. There was no expression on his face and he didn't speak.
Hua Xiaogu was very patient. She continued: "You are not here for money. I noticed before that you haven't touched the carriage we parked in the inner courtyard at all." Hua Xiaogu said and pointed again.
The shopkeeper next to him, who was trembling and afraid to speak, was tied to his knees by the officers: "Besides, I told him before that we are not short of money. But his expression did not change at all, and he did not care that we had money.
There’s no such thing as money.”
After saying this, the thief raised his head and looked at Hua Xiaogu intently.
At this moment, the officer who had been escorting him frowned, reached out and hit the man on the back of the head with the handle of his knife, and shouted loudly: "Tell me the truth!"
The thief was hit hard, and he fell forward. It took him a long time to recover. He shook his head hard, and then spoke: "Yes... we are not doing it for money. You have offended people, and now it is early in the world."
Then your images will be spread throughout the world.”
When Hua Xiaogu heard this, he frowned and looked back at Tian Lanqing. Tian Lanqing stood behind her with his hands behind his back expressionlessly. After a while, he nodded towards Hua Xiaogu.
The group of people was taken to the county jail overnight, while Hua Xiaogu and his group followed them all the way to the county under the escort of official officials.
It was not until midnight that everyone safely entered the home of the largest local cloth shop owner Tianjia to rest temporarily.
That night, except for Baitao who had a nightmare, everyone else slept soundly due to fatigue.
It was bright and bright the next day, and Hua Xiaogu sat up from the bed tiredly.
This family belongs to the shopkeeper of the cloth shop run by the Tian family here, so they are naturally treated like distinguished guests.
But Hua Xiaogu is not used to sleeping on a bed that is too soft. He slept on this bed with countless layers of soft cushions last night. When he woke up in the morning, he felt that his whole body was tired and tight, and everything hurt.
Baitao, with two dark circles under her eyes, gently knocked on the door.
"Girl, are you awake?"
"Wake up, come in." Hua Xiaogu sat on the bed and twisted his neck. He looked up and saw the dark circles under Baitao's eyes, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Why, Sister Bai Tao didn't sleep well last night?" Hua Xiaogu asked.
Baitao put the copper basin he was holding on the basin stand, then reached out and touched his eyes: "I can't sleep! I was really scared to death last night."
