Chapter 251
Bei Qiao: There are so many capable people in this other world that even after the emperor abdicated, pornographic rumors can still be spread.
While the players were left speechless, the scene was still quite amusing. A local who fancied himself a prince recruited several martial arts retainers under the name Luo Feng, the same ones who had previously tried to silence the father and son by spreading rumors. Because the retainers had been arrested, he, who had originally planned to remain dormant for a while, had to bite the bullet and go to the county magistrate to discuss matters, but he was arrested upon arrival.
The retainer was caught, his armor was taken away, and he himself was detained. This man could not help but kneel down in the hall and shout, "God has let me down!", which made everyone in the hall laugh so hard that they fell over: "No, he doesn't really think he has a chance, does he?" Who is he trying to make laugh to death!
"Who knows? If he has that kind of money-making talent, he could do anything. Why does he have to dream of such a far-fetched future?" The others sighed with good reason. These retainers were hired for real, not scammed. Where did the money come from? It was earned by this guy calling himself Luo Feng doing odd jobs! To the retainers, he was a master with a mysterious background. Once the retainers left, he changed his clothes, put on a beard, and went out to work to earn money.
"The retainers are drinking and eating meat at home, while he is eating steamed buns and working outside...Hahahaha!" I can't take it anymore, it's so funny just imagining it!
This play amused many people. One person took a pen and wrote down the whole story, intending to write it up and sell it to the troupe. After finishing the record, she flipped through it and felt that something was missing.
"So you came to me to ask?" The county lieutenant pushed his niece aside and said, "Ask me how I could train someone to be so self-righteous? Are you looking for a beating?" There has to be a limit to wishful thinking. This person intends to rebel, and it's hard to say how many people will be implicated later. If I go to his house to deal with him at this juncture, not to mention whether he will welcome me, I may end up in trouble for this matter.
"Oh, I didn't mean to..."
"You can't even think about it." The county lieutenant's head snapped and said, "If you don't leave now, you'll be cleaning the prison."
"Okay, okay, then I'll just make it up myself..."
In the lobby, the man who claimed to be a common people prince was still beating his chest and stamping his feet, shouting that the world was unfair, but the county magistrate simply called for the court to be adjourned and dragged the man away: You were so straightforward when you admitted to the rebellion, why are you hesitating now?
Seeing there was nothing more to watch, the people outside the hall dispersed in a noisy manner. In a private room near the county government office, a local native, with a forced smile, tipped the servant who had provided the tip and stood up to leave. "Is this what you had to go out of your way to see? Only the initial suspense was interesting." As for the rest, it's just that these clueless people are annoying.
"I think it's quite interesting. You should stop looking so bitter and resentful all day long. Your sister...Okay, okay, I won't say anything, okay? Why are you glaring at me?" The native's friend raised his hands: "Really, your temper has been getting worse and worse these days..."
"Is there any?" The native glanced at her friend and raised her hand to take her own pulse: "Tsk...Fangfeng, go get me some medicine." As she said that, she took the paper and pen from the maid and began to write a prescription for herself.
"They say doctors don't treat themselves, so I'll prescribe one for you whether you need it or not." My friend approached jokingly, only to be stuffed with a brush. "No, are you serious?"
The native raised his eyelids and looked at his friend: Didn’t you say that yourself?
"Okay, okay, I'll write it, but you better be brave enough to drink..."
With two pharmacy notes, the maid went out to find someone to boil the medicine. The native put down her pen and stood by the window to look at the scenery. Suddenly, she heard the attendant say that a young master Qiao came to see her.
"Mr. Qiao? Which Mr. Qiao?"
"That person didn't say."
"Who is it? Do I know him?" A friend nearby came up to the attendant and asked, "Tall, short? Fat, thin? Is he good-looking?"
"Well……"
"Are you hesitating? That means you look ordinary. Boring." My friend snorted and returned to his seat with a bored look on his face.
"Ordinary-looking?" Zhuang Maidong, the local, quickly recalled several familiar members of the Qiao family. "Then they disappeared. They weren't acquaintances." She wasn't exaggerating; the Qiao family members she knew, both men and women, were strikingly good-looking. Those who couldn't compete with the Qiao family even secretly spread rumors that they were using their looks to attract customers. However, after the rumor spread, the Qiao family's business actually prospered.
"Could it be Qin Huan's cousin?" Friend Jiang Fufu raised her hand. "I didn't go to that party, but I heard he wore a mask the whole time. I don't know if it was..."
"Impossible. Anyone who Qin Huan actively associates with has an ordinary appearance." To be used as a shield by Qin Huan, she must be a stunning beauty.
"That's right..." Jiang Fufu leaned on the table: "But he just refuses to take off the mask. I don't even know what he looks like." She was a little curious, but not much.
The person downstairs who wanted to see Zhuang Maidong refused to leave and started arguing with the people waiting downstairs. A player passing by heard the commotion and went over to watch the excitement for a while. Before leaving, he couldn't help but share in the group: In the private room, someone named Qiao got into an argument with someone from outside the area.
After seeing the message in the group chat, Bei Qiao, who was about to leave Sijin County, suddenly changed his mind and drove over to take a look. At that time, the man was still entangled with Zhuang Maidong's men on the first floor, and Zhuang Maidong upstairs was already getting impatient.
This isn't someone I know... Bei Qiao took a quick look inside when the carriage passed by the store, then turned his horse's head and headed straight for the city gate: Could it be a fake? His facial features don't seem to bear much resemblance to those of the Qiao family.
"Please tell her I'm the cousin named Qiao. Miss Zhuang will understand."
"You? Cousin Qiao?" The guard who had been harassed for a long time stretched out a hand and gestured impatiently: "What if you wear boots with thicker soles?" He is much shorter than the other person with this height!
"He's wearing it." Another guard nudged him with his elbow.
"Oh... then we can't let you in." The guard continued to block the stairs with his arms folded: There are so many people who want to see our lady. If I let anyone in, will I still have my job?
The man was still nagging, but the guards called the constables and had him dragged away. When Zhuang Maidong and Jiang Fufu went downstairs together, they heard the waiter complaining that someone had piled up a lot of things in the back, making it a mess and taking a long time to sort out.
"They're really putting so much effort into getting the miraculous doctor's name on them that they're not even doing their job." Jiang Fufu sneered, "They don't even care about their dignity anymore."
"Have you confirmed that it's a fake?" Zhuang Maidong turned to look at his followers.
"Yes, miss, it has been confirmed. Although this person tried his best to imitate, his height is a flaw, and there are also slight differences in his body shape. However, the fan in his hand is imitated quite realistically. I wonder who made it." The follower replied with his head down.
"Very similar?"
"They are very similar. If someone had only seen them once before, they probably wouldn't be able to tell them apart."
"I understand." Zhuang Maidong nodded, left the restaurant, stepped onto the bench, and stepped onto the carriage. Jiang Fufu followed closely behind, taking the tea and snacks from Zhuang Maidong's maid without any hesitation and began to eat: "I thought..."
"Won't."
"Indeed, it would be foolish to offend a miracle doctor." Jiang Fufu wasn't sure if there were any fools in the Zhuang family, but she knew Maidong wouldn't let anyone plot against him. Although Zhuang Maidong always said she didn't plan to be the housekeeper, she wasn't just a figurehead. The entire Zhuang family existed because of her. "But I heard that cousin Qiao is really nearby."
"so what?"
"Do you think there's a chance we could catch him taking off his mask?"
“…”
"Oh, you are becoming more and more cold."
Zhuang Maidong put down the box and glanced up at Jiang Fufu speechlessly. There were few people on the road at that time, and Zhuang Maidong's convoy arrived at the city gate without any hindrance. As they were leaving the city, they overheard someone saying goodbye to someone named Qiao Qiao.
"Is it someone with the same name or is it the real person?" Jiang Fufu lifted the car window curtain and looked out. "Ah... a girl!" Although the person driving the front seat looked quite tall, she was obviously a girl. However, for some reason, she was wearing a mask.
"Don't lean out, or you might fall." Zhuang Maidong looked outside: It was indeed a girl, but her height and figure, why did she look familiar?
"Qiao Qiao!" The road wasn't crowded, so Jiang Fufu, taking advantage of the fact that no one recognized her, called out to Bei Qiao at the top of her lungs. Bei Qiao glanced back at her, but didn't respond. He simply bowed slightly as a gesture of greeting, then got into the carriage, carried the scarecrow out, and placed it on the front porch.
"Qiao... uh, what is she doing?" Jiang Fufu asked in disbelief. "Could it be that she doesn't want to see me, so she put up a dummy to deal with me?"
"You're thinking too much. She didn't even know you." After hearing what Jiang Fufu said, Zhuang Maidong also opened the curtains and took a look outside: "She was just doing what she had to do, and you happened to see her." It's the first time he's seen a scarecrow pretending to be a coachman.
"Boss, it seems like someone is chasing us from behind." The guard at the rear of the convoy said loudly, "It seems like they are coming for our convoy."
"What's up?" The captain of the guard who was on guard near Zhuang Maidong's carriage turned around when he heard the voice.
“I don’t know yet.”
"Stay alert!" We just sent one person away, how come another one is following us?
"yes!"
It sounds really troublesome... Hearing the shouts of the convoy guards behind him, Bei Qiao lifted the curtain and urged the horses pulling the carriage to speed up: No matter whether they are coming for them or not, at least don't affect me.
"Wow, she ran away. How cruel..." Jiang Fufu leaned against the car window and stretched out her arms: "Come back soon, I..."
"Don't make a fool of yourself."
"Okay!"
