"The weaker a person is, the easier it is to be bullied, and the same is true for kindness. Therefore, when dealing with those who want to bully you, those who morally kidnap and take advantage of you, you must be strong and tough to protect yourself and your family.
.If I hadn’t been more ruthless just now, we would be the ones to be taken advantage of in the end. And if there is one, there will be two. So the best thing is not to give them any hope or opportunity."
After Tao Qiqi finished speaking, Fang Yu in the carriage stuck her head out and said, "Qiqi, thank you just now."
"Thank you. We are on the same team now. How can we watch you being bullied by them? But you were very good just now. If we meet them next time, if they come to provoke us again, just take out your
Don’t be afraid of them when your momentum comes out.”
"Yes, but they are elders after all."
Upon hearing this, Tao Qiqi turned around and gently tapped Fang Yu's Tianling Cap.
"Elders, what elders? You have nothing to do with them now. There is no need to worry about this. What's more, even if they are elders, it depends on whether they look like elders. There is a saying that goes like this, no one can offend me.
I don’t offend anyone, but if someone offends me, I will retaliate with three needles (cutting off the grass and roots).”
"What Qi Qi said makes sense. I will learn more from you in the future."
"Okay, then you all should learn from me." Tao Qiqi expressed helplessness in her heart. She just thought more clearly, why did everyone say they wanted to learn from her.
But even so, she didn't stop him.
After that, several people on the carriage started chatting all the way.
Before dark, the group finally successfully entered the county seat just as the city gate was about to close.
Now follow Mr. Jiang and the others on their way. Since someone is paying for the trip, Tao Qiqi naturally has no objection to going to the city to rest.
However, he only had one night's rest, so Jiang Ye found a random inn to stay. The nine of them asked for a big bunkhouse, so that they could live together and take care of each other.
I thought I would be able to sleep peacefully at night if I stayed in the county town.
But as soon as the group lay down, noisy sounds came from the street outside the post house.
"Why is it so noisy outside in the middle of the night?" Tao Qiqi, who was sitting by the window, said while trying her best to open her eyes and look out the window.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you are startled, and your sleepiness is instantly frightened away, "No, the post house is surrounded by officers and soldiers."
After hearing Tao Qiqi's words, everyone immediately climbed out of bed.
"Everyone, don't panic. Let's take a look at the specific situation first." Tao Qiqi said as she stood up and walked quietly to the door of the room.
Then he opened the door slightly and looked out.
Although she couldn't see anything in front of her, Tao Qiqi could still hear the sounds downstairs clearly.
"Search for me, inside and outside, search every room carefully. Be sure to find the person. If you can't find the person tonight, everyone will not have a good time."
"Master, what is this?"
"In the evening, someone sneaked into the county government office and stole two hundred taels of silver from us. Someone saw that this person did not leave the city after leaving the county government office. If so, he must have stayed in the city tonight. Your Excellency said, tonight
Be sure to catch the person. Search——"
Following a search, Tao Qiqi heard a large group of officers and soldiers walking upstairs.
At the same time, Tao Qiqi, who has sensitive ears, also heard another different footsteps, and the sound came from the roof.
After a while, the footsteps on the roof stopped for a while in Tao Qiqi's room, and then someone jumped off the roof.
Just when the figure was about to come in through the window of Tao Qiqi's room, Tao Qiqi's quick eyes and quick hands flew over with a silver needle.
As she expected, the figure dodged very quickly.
Of course, it was just as she expected, so Tao Qiqi injected three injections in succession, and the last two injections accurately hit the figure who wanted to enter their room.
After being hit by a hidden weapon, he fell straight out of the window.
I just heard a thud and the sound of my body hitting the ground.
Tao Qiqi also quickly closed the window.
At the same time as the window was closed, the footsteps of the officers and soldiers also approached their room, and then stopped at the door of their room.
"Open the door and search!"
Hearing the voices of officers and soldiers outside the door, Chang Wu opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, the officers and soldiers outside the door immediately surrounded him.
The official looked at everyone and asked: "The county office has been stolen and the government is searching. Please cooperate. When did you enter the city?"
Jiang Ye stood up and answered slowly: "We will close the city gate for a while."
The official continued to ask: "Did you hear or see anything unusual tonight?"
Jiang Ye shook his head: "No. We all just fell asleep."
"Sir, the search has been completed and nothing unusual has been found."
When he heard the report coming from his subordinates, the expression on the officer's face was one of surprise for a moment, and Tao Qiqi could see this moment of surprise.
But since they didn't find the person, they couldn't proceed to the next step. The official finally had to say slowly: "There's no one here, so let's continue searching other places until we find the person."
After saying that, Guan Ye and others left Tao Qiqi's room.
Chang Wu watched the group of people leave and quickly closed the door of the room again. He put his ears to the door and heard that those people were going downstairs. Chang Wu then put down his tense expression and said: "I thought these people were running around."
They came with us. Fortunately, there was no danger."
Tao Qiqi, who was on the side, confirmed that no one was listening to Qiang Gen, and replied calmly: "These people originally planned to come to us, but their plan failed. In order not to alert the snake, they could only leave in disappointment."
Upon hearing Tao Qiqi's answer, Zhao Song and Zhao Hu looked in disbelief.
Chang Wu and Chang Ning were well-informed, so they reacted relatively quickly and understood quickly.
"You mean, this is actually a setup?" Chang Ning asked.
"Then what is their purpose?" Although Chang Wu understood, he did not understand their purpose.
Jiang Ye on the side explained: "It's very simple. The person who was stopped outside the window just now is actually the person they are looking for. If that person successfully hid in our room just now, and the officers and soldiers happened to check, then we will be regarded as accomplices.
Catch him."
Chang Wu: "But if that's the case, they don't need to go to such trouble, right?"
Tao Qiqi nodded: "Indeed. But they did this to kill two birds with one stone."
Zhao Song: "How can you kill two birds with one stone?"
Tao Qiqi patiently explained in a low voice: "First of all, if their purpose is purely because of your young master, they naturally don't need to spend so much effort, but their current purpose also includes a person who rescued you twice before.
.
So they want to arrest us all to determine the relationship between that person and your young master, and to see if he will appear again to save you. Then they set up a dragnet to catch the person who saved you. If they can
If they can use it, it will be the icing on the cake for them. If they can't, then they will be silenced.
Secondly, if the person just now successfully entered our room and was arrested with us, if we failed to discover his problem, and finally applied to join our team and fled with us, then our final words
