Jin Dou nodded and clasped his fists towards Qin Yao openly, "My friend is here to pick me up. I won't have to trouble Madam Qin and Mr. Liu anymore."
"But since Madam Qin doesn't need to send me to Kaiyang County Government Office, I will reduce the 200 taels of hiring fee by half to 100 taels."
At this point, Qin Yao hadn't reacted yet, but Liu Ji was already furious.
However, before it exploded, Qin Yao suppressed it with a wave of her hand.
She looked at Song Zhang who looked slightly surprised. It was obvious that he didn't expect to meet her here.
Nodding slightly at him, Qin Yao turned her gaze back to the golden bowl that had taken out two silver bills from the sole of her shoe.
One note is worth one hundred taels and one note is worth fifty taels, a total of one hundred and fifty taels.
One hundred taels was the escort fee, thirty taels was the burial fee, and the extra twenty taels was his thank you for their caring for the past three days.
Jin Dou placed the banknotes in the carriage, jumped off the carriage immediately, and got on a pony brought by Song Zhang and others.
"The road ahead is long, we may never meet again!" He clasped his fists towards the carriage and urged his horse to run away as if escaping.
Song Zhang glanced at Qin Yao and his wife. Qin Yao did not greet them obviously, which meant that she did not want to ask too many questions. Naturally, he would not go up and say more, which would cause trouble for both parties.
He immediately urged his horses to lead the plainclothes officers and soldiers brought from the government office to catch up with the inspector sent by the court. The group soon disappeared into the woods, leaving only the sound of galloping horses.
Liu Ji could no longer hold back his anger and stood on the shaft of the cart, shouting angrily, "Jin Dou, you shameless man!"
When it comes to human nature, Liu Ji sometimes has an especially clear understanding.
How could such a coincidence happen? Jin Dou must have secretly passed the secret letter to Song Zhang in order to pay less escort fee.
Eighty taels of silver were missing out on for no reason. Although he might not get the silver, Liu Ji became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, and his heart ached.
At this moment, he didn't care whether he was an inspector or an imperial censor. He urged Song Yu to drive after him. He wanted to scold that shameless old thief.
Qin Yao was sitting in the car with the banknotes, and she did not stop Liu Ji from chasing and scolding her, which showed her attitude.
However, the speed of the carriage was still much slower. While they were cursing, the large group of people in front had already left them far behind.
The other party couldn't hear him anymore, so Liu Ji stopped in anger.
Qin Yao handed Liu Ji a kettle and said expressionlessly, "Every failure is a learning experience. Next time you write an order, remember to add a clause that if the client unilaterally terminates the cooperation midway, no matter what the reason is, the client must pay the full amount to the client!"
Liu Ji drank half a pot of water in big gulps, wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, and nodded heavily to indicate that he would never forget it in his life!
Song Zhang breathed a sigh of relief as he heard the cursing behind him becoming weaker and weaker.
He looked up at the sweaty censor riding in front of him, and sighed helplessly, "Why did you provoke this couple?"
The censor didn't dare to speak, as escaping was the most important thing.
As for Liu Ji's scolding all the way, he could only say that this was a result he had never imagined!
When Song Zhang saw that the man in front of him didn't react, he felt something was wrong.
Since the censor had already found a skilled bodyguard like Qin Yao, why did he send a secret letter to send him to pick him up for such a short distance?
How should I put it? It's like taking off your pants to fart, which is a waste of time.
Is this really a waste of time?
Song Zhang frowned and looked at the censor who was riding his horse very fast in front of him, and suddenly something came to his mind.
He subconsciously looked back at the road behind him, and the grove was already far behind them.
Logically speaking, no matter how slow the carriage was, it should have almost exited the grove by now.
But the carriage that should have already driven out did not show any sign of being seen.
Song Zhang's heart suddenly tightened as he thought of something. He urged his horse to speed up, rushed forward to be on par with the fast-running Censor, and asked tentatively:
"Sir, isn't this a bit too risky? If I mean what I mean by just in case, just in case the enemy goes all out this time, those three people will die."
Even if we take a step back and assume that those three people hadn't died, he, as the Imperial Inspector, would have faced the crazy revenge of the evil ghost lady of Kaiyang County, and his life would have been worse than death!
Jin Dou did not slow down, nor did he turn his head. He just stared at the road ahead and said coldly, "The other party's target is me. If they knew that I was no longer in the car, they would disperse and would not take their lives."
Song Zhang asked suspiciously, "Are you so sure, sir?"
The other party did not give a direct answer, but asked him: "Do you want to go back and remind them now?"
"Which is more important, the affairs of the court or the three commoners? I don't need to say much, and Lord Song knows it very well!"
Song Zhang tightened his grip on the reins and shouted "Gee!", urging his men to speed up.
If it is true as the censor said, the enemy cannot find the real culprit and will surely pursue him with all their might.
As for Qin Yao, Song Zhang's intuition told him that it was impossible for an ordinary killer to take her life.
Song Zhang had a good idea.
Qin Yao, who was cheated by his employer, looked at the two neat rows of masked killers in front of him and regretted why he didn't take off Jin Dou's head and send it to his enemy in exchange for a large reward!
Song Yu and Liu Ji stood beside the shaft of the carriage, scanning the assassins who had surrounded the carriage from front to back, and swallowed hard.
What is information gap?
That's it for now.
Jin Douren was no longer on their carriage, but his enemies didn't know that.
So it was reasonable for people to stop their carriage!
Moreover, people also took the news Qin Yao deliberately released very seriously. They knew that she was not easy to mess with in Kaiyang County, so they directly sent out all their men and had no intention of leaving any survivors.
"Mother, mother, do we still have a chance to survive?" Liu Ji asked in a low voice with a trembling voice.
Song Yu was speechless. Looking back on the first half of his life, he had never imagined that he would be hacked to death.
At this moment, his short life flashed through his mind, and he had made up his mind to risk his life to protect his wife, the only person with a chance of survival, to escape.
Only as long as his wife is alive can his wife and children survive.
Based on his understanding of his wife during this period, if he really died, his wife would definitely treat his wife and children well.
As for the master, just let it be.
As an ordinary slave, at such a critical moment of life and death, the only thing Song Yu could think of was how to maximize the benefits he would gain by sacrificing his life.
So, he bowed his head and whispered to Qin Yao loyally: "Madam, I am willing to die to protect you from escaping. Please do your best when you find an opportunity, and don't delay the opportunity because of me."
Time was running out and Song Yu spoke very quickly, but Qin Yao could clearly hear every word he said.
She could completely understand his choice, but she, Qin Yao, would never let her men end up like this!
