They never imagined that the Xiao family and the Duke of Yingguo’s Mansion had so many guards in Taohua Village.
How come I haven’t noticed it before?
The first thing Xiao Jingrui did when he returned to the Xiao family was to hurriedly check whether Yun Ruoxi was injured.
On the other side, Jamel Xiao also pulled Mu Ruxue and looked her up and down.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I confirmed that no one was injured.
Xiao Jingrui: "Fortunately, we came back early. If something really happened at home, we would be worried to death."
Yun Ruoxi: "We have guards at home, so it won't be a big problem. But if there are too many refugees, we really won't be able to handle it."
Xiao Jingrui: "What's the situation outside? Do you know who ordered this?"
Yun Ruoxi: "As far as the current situation is concerned, there are probably quite a few refugees in Qiongzhou. The drought is getting worse and worse, and it will only get more dangerous in the future. It's not clear who is behind this, so we still need to send someone out to investigate."
Xiao Jingrui: "Then let brothers Liu Yong and Liu Gang pretend to be refugees and blend into the refugee group to see who is attacking Taohua Village."
Yun Ruoxi: "From what I've observed, these refugees seem to be organized and very targeted in their attack on the Taohua Village ancestral hall. If they simply wanted to steal food, they could have launched a large force to attack Taohua Village directly, but they didn't. Instead, they took the ancestral hall first."
Xiao Jingrui: "Ancestral hall?"
Yun Ruoxi: "That's right, because only by taking over the ancestral hall can we achieve twice the result with half the effort. Today, all the ancestors and the village chief of Taohua Village are discussing matters in the ancestral hall. After taking over the ancestral hall, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Jamel Xiao: "Why did I hear it was Fangcao? Did their family bring the refugees directly to Taohua Village?"
Mu Ruxue: "Isn't it? If we hadn't arrived in time, Fangcao's husband would have nearly killed the village chief's family, even the girl."
Xiao Jingrui frowned when he heard this, "The Fangcao family is really restless. Have they been caught?"
Yun Ruoxi: "We've already sent people to capture him, but if he's hiding among the refugees, it might not be easy to find him."
Xiao Jingrui: "Okay, I understand. Madam, you should go back to your room and rest. Leave the rest to us."
Yun Ruoxi nodded. She trusted Xiao Jingrui very much, at least she had never doubted his abilities.
Mu Ruxue was also not interested in these things, so she followed Yun Ruoxi to the terrace.
After Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan returned to the Xiao family, they first left 30 guards for the Xiao family.
Then he took the remaining 200 or so pieces of equipment and went directly to the British Mansion next door.
Usually, only the female members of the family are at home in the Duke of Ying's Mansion. Grandfather is old and rarely goes out to do work. It is the five brothers, the uncle and Yun Ruoxi's father who are running around outside.
As soon as Xiao Jingrui arrived at the Duke of Yingguo's mansion, Old Man Yun had already received the news, "Grandson-in-law, why are you here today? Have you dealt with the things outside?"
Xiao Jingrui nodded. "Although the refugees have been brought under control, the mastermind behind the incident has not yet been apprehended, and there is no trace of Fangcao's family. I came here to see if there is anything in the mansion that needs attention."
Old Master Yun smiled and said, "The Duke of Ying's Mansion has also left 30 guards. You can take all the rest with you. It is best to capture the person as soon as possible. Rest assured."
Xiao Jingrui nodded and left the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion with his men.
As soon as the two brothers left, the five brothers of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion returned, bringing with them 200 guards.
Hearing that his brother-in-law had gone to arrest someone, he hurriedly followed him out.
On the open-air balcony, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue had no mood to play, and they couldn't concentrate on reading the books in their hands.
Yun Ruoxi: "There are more and more refugees now. We still need to find a way to find the paradise. Everyone is busy now. How about the two of us go and look for it?"
Mu Ruxue looked at the sky and said, "It's still early, it's a good time for us to go out for a walk."
Since she had to go out and do some work, Yun Ruoxi still found a low-level formation plate from the space.
Although there are a large number of refugees outside, they are just ordinary mortals. Yun Ruoxi took out a low-level defensive array and was able to effectively prevent anyone from rushing directly to the Xiao family and the Duke of Ying's Mansion.
Mu Ruxue: "This formation plate is good. With it, we can mobilize more guards."
After Yun Ruoxi set up the formation, she checked its effectiveness. Her two best friends each held a pistol and stood outside the yard and fired at the formation. Unexpectedly, the bullets bounced back.
Fortunately, both of the best friends had protective jade plates on them, and the bullets did not hurt them.
However, the effect of this formation completely amazed them.
Old Master Yun was also watching from a distance and said in surprise: "Xixi, this magic weapon is quite good. Can we control it too?"
Yun Ruoxi thought that her two best friends were going out and would not be at home. If she sent the guards out again, she would definitely need someone who could control the formation, so she simply handed it over to her grandfather.
After a while, Old Man Yun finally learned the trick of controlling the formation.
In the end, ten guards were left in the Liang Mansion, and the rest were all maids and servants.
Moreover, the maids in the two mansions are now practicing martial arts, which can be helpful at critical moments.
So all the extra guards were sent out to help.
Old Man Yun now knows how to control the formation and is having a lot of fun.
Yun Ruoxi: "Grandfather, then you stay at home. The formation has been activated now. No one else can come in without the consent of the controller. If anyone comes back, Grandfather, remember to open the door!"
Old Master Yun waved his hand nonchalantly, his entire being absorbed by the formation. "Alright, alright, you two little girls can go out and do whatever you want. Leave the household affairs to Grandfather. Besides, there are so many capable servants in the mansion, so you don't have to worry about the household."
Yun Ruoxi, who was about to leave, suddenly thought of something and stopped. She turned around and said to Old Man Yun, "Grandfather, please send guards to take the village chief and his family to our Xiao family's front yard. It's not safe recently, so I can feel more at ease."
Old Master Yun nodded and said, "My dear granddaughter, don't worry. I'll let the guards handle this matter. Are you sure you only want to bring the village chief and his family to your house?"
Yun Ruoxi: "We're not bringing them to live in our house. We'll just give them a few rooms in the front yard. Don't let them come here later."
Old Master Yun shook his head helplessly. "Grandfather knows. You guys can go about your business. Grandfather can still handle this little thing."
Everyone knows that as long as someone is a little bit nice to Yun Ruoxi, Yun Ruoxi will remember the favor and then find an opportunity to repay it.
