Chapter 123 Third Uncle, Go for it!

Everyone thought he was talking nonsense and didn't take it to heart.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Jingchen suggested, "Why don't we go out and scout around?"

We need to see what kind of person the magistrate's son is. If we find any dirt on him, we can use that to our advantage against the magistrate.

"If he wants to use us as scapegoats or do something to us, we'll still have some leverage in negotiations."

After hearing this, Xu Qingyi nodded slightly and said, "Zhi Xia's lightness skill is excellent. Why don't we let her take Zhi Qiu to find out the situation?"

Zhi Qiu is best at chatting with those aunties; it's the easiest place to gather information!

Xu Yinan's eyes lit up, and he grinned, "Then why don't I go see if there's a gambling den?"

Suddenly, everyone's gaze felt like a knife piercing his body.

Xu Yinan felt a chill run down his spine and chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe, aren't you taking Zhaozhao with you?"

"No, you can never go to places like that again!"

Xu Qingyi rarely glared at him fiercely.

Yun Zhao looked completely innocent and cautiously raised her hand: "We can ask Uncle Li and Uncle Yang from the escort agency for help!"

"You mean that Li Dali?"

They all knew that the escort agency had been secretly following them, but for a moment no one realized it.

But what about Li Dali, the casino owner?

"Yes, he didn't say it, but he needs me to treat his illness."

Xu Yinan immediately perked up.

"Hey, then we can let Li Dali..."

"It's none of your business if Li Dali goes!"

Xu Qingyi interrupted him fiercely, and Xu Yinan quickly shrank back, not daring to speak again.

Upon seeing this, Yun Zhao quickly stepped forward, grabbed Xu Qingyi's hand, and swayed it from side to side, acting coquettishly.

"Mommy~ With Uncle Li here, Zhao Zhao will be fine~"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyi immediately guessed what she wanted to do.

"Zhaozhao, Mother is worried..."

"Mother~ This whole thing started because of me, and I want to resolve it myself!"

"Can……"

"Sister-in-law."

Seeing the mother and daughter talking without any resolution, Wei Mingde spoke up to interrupt them.

"It's rare for Zhao Zhao to be so responsible at such a young age. Let her go, sister-in-law. With Lu Xun around, Zhao Zhao's safety is guaranteed."

"Yes, Mother, don't worry. Besides, there might be children around, which might lower their guard and allow us to find out something!"

Seeing that Xu Qingyi was still a little worried, Xu Yifei took the initiative to say, "I'll go with you, sister. With me here, I'll make sure Zhaozhao is safe and sound!"

He is so fierce and powerful that most people are no match for him.

"It's possible, but we still need to come up with a reason to persuade Luo Qing to remove his shackles and change out of his prison clothes."

Yun Zhao immediately stood up, "Mother, don't worry, let me do it!"

After saying that, Yun Zhao pulled Xu Yifei and quickly walked out.

"What? You're going out to deliver a message?"

Luo Qing almost burst out laughing when he heard Yun Zhao's words.

"You think going out for a spring outing? Or are you going out to deliver a message?"

"Uncle Luo, the magistrate won't let us leave because Xue'er embezzled the herbs from the pharmacy, and now the people are so angry."

What if he pins this crime on me? I have to send a message to my master and ask him to save me!

Yun Zhao was talking nonsense with a straight face.

However, Luo Qing felt that what she said made sense, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Write the letter, and I will have someone deliver it."

"No way~ I can't tell you about the way Medicine King Valley sends messages; it's a secret of Medicine King Valley."

Do you want to become my junior apprentice? No way, you don't have the talent!

Yun Zhao looked at him with disdain, almost saying "You don't deserve it".

Luo Qing: ...

"I'll let you go, but you can't let Xu Yifei go with you."

Xu Yifei: ?

"Why?"

Is this even discriminatory?

"With your temper, what if you cause trouble when you go out? You should send your second or third uncle, otherwise, don't even think about going!"

Luo Qing relented, but it was no different from not relenting at all.

She had finally managed to coax her mother into letting her go out; if it were her second or third uncle, her mother might not have agreed.

Seeing her conflicted expression, Luo Qing narrowed his eyes instantly.

"Could it be that you're saying delivering the letter is just an excuse to take Xu Yifei out to do something else?"

"Uncle Luo, are you stupid? You took my uncle out to protect me!"

None of you are a match for him. I'm only five years old. My mother will only feel at ease if he comes with me!

Luo Qing: ...

This little brat, she really knows how to swear!

"Alright, there's no room for discussion here. Either none of us go out, or we'll send someone else!"

Having said all that, they were now in a difficult position.

Xu Yinan has a history of taking Yun Zhao out, so Xu Qingyi absolutely refuses to agree.

In the end, only Xu Yiyan remained.

Xu Yiyan pointed at himself in horror: "Me? You want me to take Zhaozhao out?"

He's even more timid than Yun Zhao; would he really let her go out with him?

Seeing this, Luo Qing nodded in satisfaction.

"You take her out then. Looking at your snake-like face and rat-like eyes, I doubt you'd dare to run away with her!"

Xu Qingyi was about to refuse when Yun Zhao quickly nodded, "Okay, Third Uncle, please come with me!"

Wei Mingde also shook his head at Xu Qingyi, signaling her to stop talking.

Luo Qing was already suspicious, and the more he refused, the more suspicious people became.

After changing into coarse cloth clothes, Xu Yiyan picked up Yun Zhao and looked back at his family with some worry.

Everyone looked at him with concern, except for Yun Zhao, who seemed overjoyed.

He took a deep breath and, as if heading to a battlefield, resolutely walked out of the inn's back door.

"Really, are you alright?"

Xu Qingyi really couldn't understand how things had suddenly developed into Xu Yiyan taking Yun Zhao out.

One is young, and the other is timid.

She was immediately at her wits' end, and anxiously pressed her face against her youngest son's to calm her flustered heart.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. With Lu Xun and Lu Li on the perimeter, and Zhao Zhao contacting the escort agency later, everything will be fine."

Wei Mingde offered words of comfort.

In fact, as soon as Xu Yiyan went out, he asked Yun Zhao, "Where do we go next to meet up with the people from the escort agency?"

"We're not meeting up with the security escort agency."

Yun Zhao smiled matter-of-factly.

Xu Yiyan stared at her with wide eyes: "Huh?"

"I already arranged with the security company that they won't show up unless absolutely necessary, to avoid revealing our identities."

"Then, then we..."

Xu Yiyan immediately panicked, and Yun Zhao patted his arm.

"It's okay, it's okay~ Third Uncle, let's go! Let's go over there!"

"Which way?"

"There, I saw it when I came here today. The magistrate's residence is over there. Let's stake out his house!"

Compared to Xu Yiyan's gloomy face, Yun Zhao seemed particularly excited.

This was the first time she had gone out alone with her third uncle, and she wanted to help him regain his confidence!

"Go, Third Uncle!"

Seeing his little niece's excited expression, he didn't want to spoil the fun.

"Yes! Charge! Charge!"

Xu Yiyan took a deep breath, picked up Yun Zhao, and strode forward.
