The gate of the mansion was wide open, and the only two guards inside and outside the gate fell to the ground, and the road leading out of the mansion was clear.
Not only did more than half of the girls in the west courtyard run away, but even several of the girls in the east courtyard who had lived in Zhaiyue Tower for some time also took advantage of the chaos to run away.
Some of them have their own destinations, but nearly half of them still want to work under Wei Yunlan.
Wei Yunlan simply asked Jiang Wu and Liu Qingxue to compile a list and write down everyone's name, age, hometown and expertise.
Not long after, the two came back to report, "There are 19 people in the west courtyard and 6 people in the east courtyard. They want to follow the East Family and leave together. They will work under the East Family from now on."
Originally, Jiang Wu and Lin Qingxue were going to follow Sui He and call Wei Yunlan "Miss".
It was Wei Yunlan who suggested the term "boss". After all, she didn't want these women to sell themselves to her, she just wanted to cooperate with them like she did with Tang Chuan and Tang Hai before.
If you don't get along well, just send that person away.
If they get along well, then these people will be her initial team in the North.
…
In the main courtyard, the fire that had been burning for nearly half an hour was finally put out. The main house in the courtyard had been burned terribly and was completely dark.
Fortunately, the fire did not cause any casualties, and only a few servants were accidentally burned by the flames while fighting the fire.
Unfortunately, even after the fire was extinguished, the whereabouts of Master Cao and the distinguished guest from the Northern Barbarians could not be found.
The two people seemed to have evaporated into thin air.
The steward suddenly remembered, "What about the two sisters that the master sent to serve the distinguished guests? Are they missing too?"
"They're not in the house either."
Nanny Song was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Are you talking about Nanny Sun's niece?"
The steward nodded.
Nanny Song frowned, "Could it be that there is something wrong with those two people? Nanny Sun is still in the west courtyard, bring her in and ask her!"
Soon several servants rushed towards the west yard. Before they reached the west yard, they met a maid running from the other direction.
"Hurry up and tell the master and the steward that several sisters from our East Courtyard have run away..."
The servants rushed to the west courtyard and sent two of them to lead the maids from the east courtyard back to report to the steward.
The rest quickened their pace and rushed towards the west yard, but when they entered the yard they were all stunned.
The west courtyard, which was originally full of people, now only had about ten people left. The Madam Sun they were looking for was lying headfirst in the yard, motionless.
The servants didn't bother to catch Madam Sun anymore, and hurriedly turned around and ran back, "Oh no, dozens of people ran out of the mansion!"
"All the guards at the gate are gone!"
The manager looked unhappy and immediately selected half of his men to go out of the house to chase after them.
But before these people could reach the door, the gate of the mansion had already been closed from the outside, and there were people guarding outside the main gate and the four corner gates.
Not to mention the servants in Cao's mansion, even the guards around Prince Beiman were unable to escape from the mansion which was heavily guarded by Tianshu Pavilion.
The Master Cao and the distinguished guest from the Northern Barbarians, whom they had been thinking about so much, had been tied up and thrown into a carriage parked outside the mansion.
Whether it is the corrupt officials who collude with foreign enemies or the brutal and ferocious barbarians, they all make people hate them.
Yingwu's movements were rough, and there was a "bang" sound when he threw the person into the car.
A big bump suddenly appeared on Mr. Cao's forehead.
The severe pain woke him up from his sleep. He opened his eyes wide and found that he was not in the house, but in a crude and narrow carriage.
Almost face to face, another person was also thrown here.
He was the distinguished guest he had invited to his house with great difficulty, the God of Wealth for him and his second brother!
“Hmm…”
Mr. Cao wanted to open his mouth, but it was stuffed tightly with cloth and he couldn't make any sound.
His hands and feet were all tied up with hemp ropes, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.
At this moment, the curtain of the car was lifted by someone from the outside, and a face with no memory at all, which could not be found in the crowd, came into view.
"woke up?"
A cold voice sounded in his ears. Master Cao stared, pushed the cloth in his mouth hard with his tongue, and tried to speak with a "wuwu" sound.
It was not until his tongue began to hurt and his cheeks felt sore that the cloth in his mouth was roughly pulled out.
"Hmm..." Master Cao exhaled, and then asked: "Who are you?"
The answer he got was an extremely cold look.
Master Cao's breathing stagnated, and then he mustered up the courage to say: "No matter who you are, let us go immediately, otherwise I dare to guarantee that you will not be able to leave the border of the Desolate State!"
"Oh?" There was a hint of disdain in the cold tone, "Why?"
Mr. Cao, who was drunk and drugged, was not sober to begin with. He was provoked by this disdainful attitude and blurted out, "Just because my last name is Cao, nearly half of the property in Danyun City belongs to our Cao family!"
"How dare you come to Danhe to cause trouble without even asking about the reputation of our Cao family first?"
"My brother is a water officer of the Dan River appointed by the emperor himself. He, Xu Zhizhou and Lin Zhijun are all sworn brothers!"
Every word of Mr. Cao's arrogant words fell into his ears.
Qi Xu, who was standing in front of the carriage and staring at him coldly, raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, the few people you mentioned will come to accompany you soon."
After saying that, he stuffed the ball of cloth in his hand back into Mr. Cao's mouth.
Qi Xu raised his clothes, sat lightly on the horse's back, and ordered: "Lin Jian, the commander of Huangzhou, add his name as well."
No one of these people can escape, one by one!
…
The three groups that remained in the woods got into three mule carts found by Tianshu Pavilion.
The only ones left were Jiang Wu, Liu Qingxue, and the round-faced girl who knew how to dye cloth. They followed Suihe and Wei Yunlan into the carriage.
Tianshu Pavilion has completely controlled the mansion. This mansion and the Zhaiyue Tower in the city are involved in various forces in Huangzhou. From now on, these two places will become places of right and wrong.
Feng Ping came back and said, "Miss Wei, we have a few people freed up to take you back first."
He glanced at the three mule carts behind him and said, "Look at these people, how are you going to accommodate them?"
Wei Yunlan had just thought about this problem. Bringing so many girls into the city would be too eye-catching. What's more, some of these people had already lived in Danyun City, so they might be recognized.
"Let's go directly to the manor." It just so happened that my mother and Mingxuan decided on two manors today. These thirty people were originally prepared by her to manage the manor and the subsequent industries.
After taking a look at the guards behind Feng Ping who looked unfamiliar to him, Wei Yunlan asked, "Mr. Xiao, aren't you going with us?"
"Xiao..." Feng Ping's eyelids twitched, and he pretended to be calm and explained: "Old Xiao has been appointed by the Pavilion Master to handle the affairs of Cao Mansion, so he will not be traveling with us for the time being."
Wei Yunlan certainly didn't miss it, and there was a flash of panic in his eyes.
Nodding thoughtfully, he said, "So that's how it is."
