After a quarter of an hour, Chai Yan finally walked out of the hut with a helpless expression.
When Jimo Qiao saw Chai Yan coming out, he straightened up immediately.
As he walked, Chai Yan gave Jimo Qiao a thumbs up and said: "I admire it, I admire it..."
Jimo Qiao raised his chin and said proudly: "You know what I mean!"
Later, the two returned to the flower hall. As soon as they entered, they saw the table filled with delicious food. Gu Ling and Doudou were sitting at the table, laughing and eating, looking very comfortable.
"Hey, you are back?" Gu Ling suddenly smiled and greeted the two of them in a high-key manner.
When Doudou saw Jimo Qiao coming back, she was so frightened that she quickly stuffed the pastry into her mouth, stood up and stood behind Gu Ling.
Jimo Qiao pointed to the table and said: "How about it, it's good for you, you have food and drink, let's continue from last time..."
Chai Yan happened to be hungry, so he walked over and sat down. He picked up the pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it and asked, "Where did you talk about last time?"
Jimo Qiao's interest greatly increased and he immediately sat down at the table and reminded: "Speaking of meeting the master Feng Qingyang, he is preparing to teach Linghu Chong swordsmanship to deal with the flower picker Tian Boguang..."
"Oh, here... Okay, let's continue talking... Feng Qingyang taught Linghu Chong's three sword skills in the Huashan cave, and easily defeated Tian Boguang... ....."
Next, Chai Yan started talking about what he said last time, but after just a short while, Jimo Qiao interrupted him with a look of displeasure.
"Stop, stop, stop, what are you doing? Can't you be more serious? Look at you like this, weak and listless, you did it on purpose!"
Gu Ling was also unhappy and said: "Yes, Chai Yan, you are no longer interested. If you promise to speak, you must speak it well. Don't deliberately perfunctory it. You must speak like last time!"
Doudou frowned and nodded yes.
"Ah..." Chai Yan suddenly yawned loudly, and after squeaking a few times, he said with a downcast face: "Two eldest ladies, it's not that I didn't want to say that! In fact, I didn't get along at all last night. It's been a while, do you know how sleepy you are now? It's almost done, just live and listen, haha..."
As he spoke, Chai Yan yawned again.
"Don't! It's better not to talk about it if you talk like that!"
Jimo Qiao was not willing to join in the work. Such a wonderful story must be told with full devotion and passion, otherwise it would be boring to listen to.
Chai Yan thought it would be best not to tell him, so I just went back to catch up on my sleep.
Gu Ling asked Chai Yan: "You didn't sleep last night? What did you do?"
"What else can we do? Just keep an eye on those cunning water thieves..."
Then, under Gu Ling's questioning, Chai Yan patiently recounted what happened yesterday, from when Yu Zhongheng's family received the kidnapping and extortion letter, to when he took a boat to the water thieves' lair to find and rescue Miss Mudan. The process was explained carefully and clearly.
After hearing this, Jimo Qiao asked: "When you catch someone, you should come back by boat as soon as possible. Do you have to stay in the thieves' den for one night to feel comfortable?"
"You think I do!" Chai Yan said disdainfully: "Don't you know how dangerous it is to sail at night? Those people are water thieves, and they are all good at water. If they get into the water together, where are we going to catch them? People go? Also, if the boat capsizes because of this, wouldn’t it be even worse? Think about it with your brain..."
"Who are you saying is brainless?" Jimo Qiao stood up immediately.
Gu Ling immediately grabbed her and said, "Xiao Qiao, they made the right choice to come back by land!"
Jimo Qiao suppressed his anger and thought about it for a moment again and felt that it was indeed right, so he said nothing more.
Chai Yan had just eaten something, and now he felt even more sleepy. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Can you just let me go back and take a nap? I promise you that when I get enough sleep, I will continue to talk to you, just like last time."
Same, okay?"
"No!" Jimo Qiao was unwilling to give in.
Chai Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Don't worry, I won't run away. I just caught the water thief, and I still have eighty taels of reward left. Even if I want to leave, I have to collect the reward before I leave."
But Jimo Qiao still didn't believe it.
Gu Ling saw that Chai Yan's face was full of tiredness, indeed very tired, so he pulled Jimo Qiao aside and whispered: "Xiao Qiao, why don't we let him go back to sleep first, and force him to continue talking like this, listen.
There’s no point in doing it…”
"Let him go back?" Jimo Qiao was anxious and immediately said: "Then didn't I just block the traffic outside the hut for nothing?"
Gu Ling suddenly wanted to laugh, but considering Jimo Qiao's mood, she held it back, and said patiently: "It's okay, let's just let him go, and let Master Hu arrange a few people to keep an eye on him later!"
Jimo Qiao then thought that this was all he could do, and he nodded angrily and agreed to Gu Ling.
Gu Ling turned around and wanted to speak to Chai Yan, but when she saw Chai Yan, he fell asleep on the table.
"Hey, hey, hey, you want to go back to sleep. Do you think this is an inn? This is the government office..." Gu Ling walked over and knocked on the table.
Soon, Gu Ling asked Doudou to invite Hu Duanzheng. After Gu Ling's careful instructions, Mr. Hu immediately arranged for two government servants to "escort" Chai Yan back to the inn.
After Chai Yan left, Gu Ling and Jimo Qiao also left the Huzhou government office.
On the way back to the post office, Jimo Qiao kept thinking about Chai Yan finding Yu Zhongheng with the bloody letter.
The more she thought about it, the more bizarre and unbelievable she found it, and she couldn't help but ask Ling, "Does he really have the ability to identify evil positions?"
"There should be..." Gu Ling nodded and said, "If we hadn't witnessed it with our own eyes in Anping Temple before, dad and I wouldn't have believed it."
Jimo Qiao had an idea and said, "If that's true, then can't we ask him to help figure out where the murderer of Ouyang's family is?"
"That's right!" Gu Ling clapped her hands and said excitedly: "If the perpetrator of the family massacre can be caught quickly, maybe this year's Autumn Lantern Festival can be held again..."
So in the following time, the two eldest ladies began to discuss finding an opportunity to recommend Chai Yan to Hu Duanzheng...
