Chapter 127
Bei Qiao quickly opened the window, grabbed the clothes of the figure outside, and pulled him in from the window: Although I don't know if this guy is in the same group as the person outside, he is definitely a burglar who wants to break into the house. If I don't catch him now, it will be troublesome if he breaks into the house again at night. I can't just stay up all night waiting to catch the thief...huh? I only saw a black shadow just now, how come there are two people being pulled into the house?
The little Taoist priest who tried to be a hero and was dragged into the window: "Hey hey hey"
When Bei Qiao caught the thief and subdued him, another Qin Huan came to the inn, followed by a group of maids: "Boss, I heard that Qiao Qiao is here, did you see him?"
"Miss Qin..." The shopkeeper put down the account book and rubbed his eyes. He looked at her and then turned to look upstairs: "You...are here again?"
"What do you mean, I just came here." Qin Huan looked puzzled: "Wait, you mean, someone just pretended to be me and went upstairs?"
"Yes."
"Haven't you left yet?"
"No one came down from upstairs, so it's uncertain whether they jumped out the window and ran away."
Hearing this, Qin Huan frowned, picked up her skirt and was about to run upstairs, but was stopped by the maid who was responsible for her safety: "Miss, what if there is danger?" The situation upstairs was unclear, and the maids did not dare to let Qin Huan run ahead alone. What if the other party was really a malicious thief and kidnapped or even killed Qin Huan on the spot, they, the maids, would be in big trouble.
"No way, who would be so desperate...that's all." Although she felt that nothing would happen in the inn, Qin Huan still stopped and followed the maid upstairs. She was not a stubborn person. At the moment, the situation was unclear, so she had no need and would not rush to the front.
Qin Huan: I used to think that no one would dare to bully me in Linjie City, but in the end, alas... if it weren't for the support of my family, I would have been left with a lifelong shadow.
Upon learning that the Qin Huan upstairs might be fake, the innkeeper worried about something happening upstairs, so he called the security staff over and asked her to go upstairs with Qin Huan. The innkeeper had left the counter earlier and was unaware that there were actually two fake Qin Huans upstairs. He sent the staff to follow them because he was worried that other guests might misunderstand that the inn was protecting the powerful and would affect the inn's reputation and business if they saw Qin Huan beating someone.
Qin Huan, not knowing where the fake Qin Huan had gone, asked the shopkeeper for Bei Qiao's room number, intending to chat with her first before dealing with the thief impersonating her. Unexpectedly, she saw the fake Qin Huan knocking at Bei Qiao's door. The two fake Qin Huans bore striking resemblances to Qin Huan, with similar figures and only slightly different clothing and demeanor. At first glance, they looked like Qin Huan's twin sisters.
"Who are you?" Qin Huan frowned and gave a look to his left and right, signaling his men to go up and take the man down.
When one of the imposters saw Qin Huan appear, she avoided his gaze, while the other one had an arrogant expression and insisted that she was the real Qin Huan until she was pinned to the ground. Her firm expression and attitude frightened the maids who had just come to Qin Huan's side and they almost believed it.
"Who are you?" Qin Huan was interrogating the two people pretending to be her outside, and Bei Qiao was saying the same thing inside. She had been staying at the official inn for so many days, and her room had only been entered by a cat. This was her first time encountering a burglar, and she felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
"He is a thief, and I am here to catch him." The young Taoist priest steadied himself, released his hand that was trying to catch the thief, and adjusted his hair crown: "I had just caught him, and you dragged him into the house." How embarrassing!
Bei Qiao looked at the Taoist priest with a smile, but did not say whether he believed it or not. He took out a rope from his bag and tied up the thief. As he tied him up, he said: "Do you dare to come with me to report to the police?"
The young Taoist priest looked no more than ten years old. He wore a brand new white robe with a small pouch hanging from his waist. His face still had some baby fat, and his expression of pretending to be serious was very cute. Although he couldn't recognize the material of his clothes, Bei Qiao would not underestimate this young Taoist priest, because his foot was standing on a flying sword.
Aside from the player from last time, this was Bei Qiao's first close encounter with a cultivator. Fan Ke had heard that flying swords were relatively expensive flying magical instruments, so the young Taoist priest and this flying thief were probably not in the same group.
"What are you afraid of..."
"no."
Two voices rang out simultaneously, and Bei Qiao looked in the direction of the other voice. A gust of wind blew in from the window, slamming it hard against the wall. Before Bei Qiao could see who was coming, the little Taoist priest in the room disappeared.
Bei Qiao: "..."
Bei Qiao: "Is it necessary? I didn't say I wouldn't release him. Even the demons that captured Tang Monk couldn't move as fast as you guys."
"Qiao Qiao, what happened?" The noise in the house was so loud that the door slammed loudly. Qin Huan, who was interrogating the impostor outside the house, thought that something had happened to Bei Qiao and quickly asked someone to kick the door open.
"Yes, Miss Qin. I'm fine... right?" Bei Qiao looked back at the door that was kicked and was shaking, and answered hesitantly: "The door is broken, and a thief got in before." He hoped that he would not need to compensate for the doors and windows.
"Did he steal something precious from you?" After making sure there was no danger in the house, Qin Huan walked into the house surrounded by her maids. She looked at the thief who had just fallen from the wall and was shocked: "Did he use too much force?"
"I didn't do it. A monk just passed by and was caught in the crossfire." Bei Qiao only then noticed the badly injured thief, but she was more concerned about something else: "This window was also damaged by that monk. I didn't see his face clearly, so I don't know who to ask for compensation."
"It's okay, they will pay on their own initiative." Qin Huan breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Bei Qiao was fine: "It's just a matter of compensation, they won't hesitate." The cultivators may not all be good people, but they will still abide by certain rules for the sake of smooth promotion. Because the way of heaven in this area is very lively, the feedback speed of the cause and effect line is extremely fast, and no one wants to fail in promotion because of some trivial matters.
"That's it... But I'm afraid this room can't be lived in anymore." Bei Qiao sighed: "I have to tell the shopkeeper to change rooms."
"Are you really unwilling to live in my house? Am I some kind of monster?" Qin Huan was speechless at Bei Qiao's caution: "Forget it last time, this is not the first time we have met. Don't you still have no trust in me, cousin?"
Bei Qiao: "...Who is bullying you again?"
"Oh no, I just said it casually." Qin Huan pinched his face: "By the way, why did you close the door just now? Did you know that there were no real people among them?"
"Yes."
"Tell me how you know that!" Qin Huan really wanted to learn from him, because the two new maids around her were actually shaken by a fake, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
Bei Qiao walked out of the door and looked at the two fake Miss Qins who were pinned to the ground: "I won't talk about the one on the left. She doesn't have a strong psychological quality. As for the one on the right, well, it's actually a feeling. She feels that if you two quarrel, she will make you cry." The one on the right has stronger psychological quality than the one on the left, but she can't control her mouth. When arguing with the other fake Miss Qin, she will occasionally blurt out a half-swear word, and then quickly change her words.
"Ah, she spoke so rudely, I didn't notice it just now!"
"Maybe I'm acting more seriously in front of you guys." Bei Qiao shrugged.
The noise of the door being kicked open was so loud that several tenants on the same floor who had not left their homes could not help but stick their heads out to ask what had happened. They were calmed down by the waiter who came running over after hearing the noise. Each of them received a free fruit plate and a pot of chrysanthemum tea to calm their nerves.
The shopkeeper also came over to explain to the tenants. When they learned that it was an unexpected disaster caused by the monks, the tenants all breathed a sigh of relief and their expressions relaxed. They took the free fruit plates and chrysanthemum tea and went back to their rooms.
"I'm sorry, guest, you have to change rooms. The door repairman has to go back to his hometown today for something." The shopkeeper looked at the doors and windows of Beiqiao's room: "The windows can still be barely fixed, but this door can't be closed anymore, and the top is a little deformed." If it just fell off, the shopkeeper could find a hammer to nail it down.
"Okay." Bei Qiao nodded.
"You really aren't going to stay at my house? Oh, by the way, are you coming to Jiecheng to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival?" Qin Huan looked regretful. It was so hard to make a friend, why is her paranoia so severe? Is my house some kind of dangerous place?
"I guess so, but that's not the main purpose." Bei Qiao said the address written on the deed: "Ms. Qin knows..."
"Um?"
"...Huanhuan, do you know where this place is?"
"I know, it's next door to my house! What's the matter? If you're planning to move there, welcome! Although that yard is a little smaller and the layout isn't very good, the location is really good. It was hard to buy a house at the time... Wait, that's not right. I remember that yard was called Lao Cunning..."
"Cough! Cough cough!" The maid beside her started coughing violently: Miss, how can you say this in public?
"...The ground is covered with talc, and the flowers in the yard are blooming beautifully." Qin Huan changed his words abruptly: "Qiao Qiao, do you recognize the previous owner of this yard?" That old guy is not a good person!
"Not really acquaintance, just met once. He sold the yard to me."
"Sell it to you." Qin Huan was a little surprised: "Where are the people in the yard? He doesn't care anymore."
"The people in the yard..." Bei Qiao was stunned for a moment: "The people who maintain the house?"
"Yes, the owner lives in the capital, so he must hire someone to look after the yard here, otherwise what if thieves break in and empty it out?" The Qin family also has houses in other cities, and they send some of their sons to take turns looking after the houses to prevent them from aging.
"He didn't mention this." Bei Qiao rubbed his eyebrows: I don't know if he has sent the letter to the people here. There won't be any problems during the handover, right?
