Xi Xi was surprised to find that this person's figure was very similar to Lao Liu, who had been kicked out of the team, especially his walking posture.
Why is he walking with a limp? He looks so much like that escort officer named Lao Liu.
[And this person seemed to have been acting suspiciously and talking to Zhu Yanyan just now.]
This is highly suspicious.
Xi Xi was worried that Zhu Yan Yan would interfere, so she pointed towards the cellar with her hand, making little noises.
After hearing her daughter's suggestion, Liu looked curiously in the direction her daughter was pointing and found that the person her daughter was pointing to was behaving suspiciously.
She hurried to her mother's side and whispered, "Mom, the person walking at the back, limping, doesn't he look like Old Liu from before?"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Zhu looked in the direction her daughter-in-law was pointing, observed the man's entire body, and finally discovered that the man was wearing official boots.
She immediately thought of Old Liu, who had been expelled from the team before, and who was also wearing a pair of black official boots when he left.
Thinking of this, Grandma Zhu decisively came to Chen Xiang's side and pointed to Old Liu's back to remind him.
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Xiang looked in the direction of Old Liu, pondered for a moment, and then signaled to Old Lady Zhu not to make a fuss.
"Don't worry, I'll handle it later."
With Chen Xiang's assurance, Old Lady Zhu could only look on with heavy heart at the caravan guards who were emerging one after another from the cellar.
The guards placed bags of supplies on the ground, arranging them neatly in two rows.
Wang Haocheng handed one of the unopened papers to Chen Xiang, and the two of them took their notes and went to the bag to check the supplies.
Grandma Zhu stared uneasily at the two of them, her eyes inadvertently glancing at Zhu Yanyan standing beside her.
At this moment, Zhu Yanyan had a calm smile on her face, seemingly very confident in the verification, showing no fear or apprehension at having made a mistake.
Tao stared fiercely at Zhu Yanyan's arrogant appearance and angrily whispered in Zhu's ear.
"Mother, this Zhu Yanyan seems very confident."
Sun agreed with her sister-in-law and stepped forward uneasily to remind her, "Mother, did we find the food in the cellar?"
Of course! Xixi put it in the cellar.
These aren't Zhu Yanyan's (the crazy woman) supplies; they were all brought back by Xixi after hard work carrying bricks.
When Sun heard her niece's angry voice, her uneasy mood instantly calmed down. Fortunately, the supplies were brought by Xixi.
Otherwise, if it is proven that these supplies belong to Zhu Yanyan, then no one can escape.
She had been secretly observing the caravan guards; the knife at her waist was a crescent-shaped sickle, and it could be drawn very quickly.
Every strike is deadly, and the blade spins in mid-air before it's even released, leaving no time to escape.
If we weren't forced to, we should never have fought with these caravan guards.
"It's verified."
Just as Sun was in a daze, Wang Haocheng solemnly displayed the paper in front of everyone, pointed to the note with Zhu Yanyan's signature, and said loudly.
“We’ve checked, and the number of items and the signature on this piece by Zhu Yanyan are about the same.”
"How is that possible?"
With a shocked expression, Old Lady Zhu stepped forward and took the slip of paper from Wang Haocheng's hand, discovering that the categories on the paper were similar to those of the supplies in the cellar.
The only difference was the quantity; the quantity of supplies marked by Zhu Yanyan differed greatly from the quantity on the cellar.
Moreover, she only wrote "quilt" on the list of heating supplies, but there were clearly small heating blocks inside the bag.
"There's something wrong with this number."
Fearing that her plan would be exposed, Zhu Yanyan angrily stepped forward, snatched the paper, and forcefully pushed Old Lady Zhu away.
"Grandma Zhu, so many people are watching and checking the quantities, and you still dare to argue? I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin."
The more she looked at Old Lady Zhu, the angrier she became, and she raised her hand and quickly brought it down on Old Lady Zhu.
Just as the slap was about to land on Old Lady Zhu's face, Chen Xiang stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Yanyan's hand.
Then, with a forceful push, he flung her aside.
Zhu Yanyan was forcefully thrown away by Chen Xiang and slammed heavily to the ground, her face contorted in pain.
Thinking Chen Xiang was about to fight, Wang Haocheng cautiously drew his crescent-shaped knife from his waist and shouted a warning.
What are you doing?
"Brother Wang, please let me introduce you to someone."
Chen Xiang didn't want to fight with Wang Haocheng. He unfastened the large knife from his waist and threw it over, then raised his hands and walked towards him.
Wang Haocheng looked at Chen Xiang with suspicion, and asked warily, "Who?"
Chen Xiang raised his hand and slowly walked up to Lao Liu, quickly pulling him out from among the guards.
After pulling the man out, he quickly ripped off the cloth covering Old Liu's face and shouted.
"This man is a guard we expelled from the team, nicknamed Old Liu."
"Nonsense, I don't know you. Don't try to frame me just to get away with this."
After being exposed, Lao Liu nervously covered himself with a cloth and loudly retorted to Chen Xiang.
Chen Xiang knew he would object, and pointed to the official boots on his feet with a cold smile.
“If you weren’t Old Liu, how would you have the same official boots as us?”
Upon hearing the sound, Wang Haocheng looked at the black boots on Lao Liu's feet, and then at the boots on Chen Xiang's feet.
To their surprise, the two men's boots were exactly the same, proving they were indeed the official boots worn by Yuan Dynasty officials.
Realizing what was happening, Wang Haocheng took a few steps back and pointed his crescent-shaped knife at Lao Liu.
"Who exactly are you? Why have you infiltrated my group?"
"Brother Wang, this matter is not over yet, please wait for me."
Chen Xiang exposed Lao Liu not to cause infighting among them, but to lay the groundwork for what was to come.
He turned around and waved to Zhu Wen and An Qing, leading them up into the cellar.
Zhu Yanyan stared at the men's movements with a flustered expression, pursed her lips and pondered for a moment before waving to the officers.
After seeing Zhu Yanyan's signal, the officials quietly retreated, and after they got behind the crowd, they turned around and followed Zhu Yanyan away.
A moment later, Chen Xiang led Zhu Wen and An Qing out of the cellar, carrying several cloth bags in their hands.
Wang Haocheng stared blankly at the supplies in the hands of the three men, utterly puzzled. "How come there are still more?"
"That's a question for Zhu Yanyan. She'll have to ask Lao Liu what he did."
After Chen Xiang brought the cloth bag up, he threw it on the ground and turned to look at Lao Liu with a mocking smile on his face.
Upon seeing this, Wang Haocheng turned to look at Zhu Yanyan with a fierce expression, only to find that Zhu Yanyan and everyone from Lujia Village had disappeared.
Where is Zhu Yanyan?
"Boss, Zhu Yanyan and all the villagers of Lujia Village have run away."
When the guards realized what was happening, they immediately gave chase, but all they saw were the backs of the group fleeing in panic.
It's so cold, so cold, the weather's about to change.
[Xixi was woken up by the cold.]
Xixi, who was half asleep, couldn't help but sneeze and shiver from the biting cold.
Granddaughter's reminder made Grandma Zhu look at the air outside. It was getting dark outside, and a howling wind was blowing.
"Brother Wang, Lord Chen, the weather is about to change, hurry and warm yourself, there's no time to lose."
