Chapter 325: Retreat
Superstitious thinking is unacceptable!
The two followers scared themselves. The more they thought about it, the more afraid they became. They ran faster and faster, gasping for breath. When others saw their pale faces and terrified expressions, they really thought something terrible had happened!
The two men ran to the soldiers surrounding the Xia family and only then did they calm down a little.
But the missing imperial envoy is still nowhere to be found.
After finally catching their breath, the two began to wonder who had done this and whether there was any conspiracy behind it. The Xia family, who were surrounded and killed, did not enter their sight at all.
After all, they are just ordinary people, working as farmers. How could they have such great abilities if they had two smart descendants who were engaged in small business?
Even if you are lucky enough to recognize a few strange people in the martial arts world, you probably don't have the ability to ask them to help you!
The imperial envoy was missing, and County Magistrate Yang and Wang were the first to be included in the suspect list of the imperial envoy's entourage.
After all, they had confronted the imperial envoy in person.
But later, the imperial envoy brought out the imperial edict and they gave up.
However, thinking of this, the two followers became even more timid - this couple didn't even take the imperial envoy seriously, so how could they give face to a small person like them?
But no matter whether County Magistrate Yang and his wife gave face or not, the fact that the imperial envoy had lost such a big thing had to be reported.
Xia Daohua returned from the mountain quietly. As soon as she came back, she saw that the soldiers guarding the Xia family's gate were gone, and only a runner was left at the gate to provide support.
These people must have gone out to look for the Imperial Envoy who suddenly disappeared...
Humph, they are very capable if they can find it!
In fact, Xia Daohua didn't intend to do anything to the imperial envoy, but who made him dare to bully the Xia family?
Xia Daohua didn't bother to interrogate him.
Anyway, no matter he has committed numerous crimes or it is his first offense, since he has offended me and is now in my hands, then it would be very lenient to just throw him into the mountains to fend for himself and see if God will give him a chance to survive, isn't it?!
Shaking off the dew on her body, Xia Daohua changed out of her nightgown, went into the space and took a comfortable hot bath. Then she changed into her casual clothes and came out, only to see that everyone in the Xia family was still sleeping soundly - the knockout drug seemed to be a little heavier this time.
Xia Daohua felt everyone's breathing and pulse and found that they were just sleeping, not unconscious, so she went back to her room to rest with peace of mind.
The next day, when the whole family woke up, they felt that they had slept extremely soundly the night before. After such a fright, they did not even have a dream.
Both Zhou and Old Man Xia couldn't help but grumble, "The family has encountered such a big thing, but everyone is still sleeping like dead pigs. The whole family is so carefree!"
Xia Daohua smiled and said, "It's okay, just live your life as it should. This evildoer can only be proud for a while at most, but God will not forgive him!"
Zhou couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. This child is still a little naive!
How can you take those words of advice to do good seriously?
There are so many unfair things in this world... How could she know that this time when she returns home, her family will not be wronged and bullied?
Seeing that Zhou didn't believe it, Xia Daohua didn't try to persuade her any further. She just smiled and did what she had to do.
However, although Xia Daohua looked calm, she knew that once the charge of disobeying the imperial order was proven, her family, as small as she was, would not be big enough to bear such a heavy burden.
However, no matter how lazy she was, she could not allow the imperial envoy to bully her own child in front of her eyes.
At worst, I can rebel, become a bandit, and occupy a remote mountain corner!
With Space Supermarket, you don’t have to worry about food.
Xia Daohua had thought of a plan for what to do if the truth was revealed, and her expression became even more indifferent.
On the days when she was supposed to go out, she would pack up and go out to the "Daohuaxiang" shop to take care of the business, and she would bring Taohua and Erlang with her.
The two were somewhat nervous, but seeing how calm their sister looked, they plucked up their courage and followed her out.
They didn't know that the calm girl actually regarded raising the flag of rebellion as a way out...
As soon as she went out, she found that the imperial guards who had surrounded her house yesterday were nowhere to be seen. Even the person who was guarding the door had left. Xia Daohua smiled secretly, they must be busy looking for someone, so how could they have the time to guard her house?
The news of the missing imperial envoy spread like wildfire throughout Jixiang County before noon. The stories were varied, and some of them were quite imaginative.
Magistrate Yang and Wang deliberately ignored the matter and allowed the rumors to spread.
The details of the disappearance were told by the imperial envoy's entourage themselves - the person suddenly disappeared in front of them - disappearing out of thin air, isn't this a punishment from heaven?
Who can be blamed for this? You can't blame the county magistrate, right?
However, the third wife of the Murong family, upon hearing such a strange letter, crumpled up two handkerchiefs in anger and gnashed her teeth.
As the spread of news became confirmed, the entire Jixiang County became nervous.
Although County Magistrate Yang despised the actions of the imperial envoy and watched the excitement with cold eyes for a while, he still wanted to find the person.
As a result, he dispersed all the yamen runners onto the streets, disturbing many merchants and civilians for no reason, but there was no trace of the imperial envoy at all.
A feeling of powerlessness came over me.
When the gang of dandies were making a scene in the red-light district of Jixiang County, County Magistrate Yang had experienced this feeling once before. Who did these dandies offend? Their money bags were lost several times in a row. They disappeared without anyone noticing in broad daylight, and every time it was the same story!
He almost turned the entire Jixiang County upside down, but he neither found the stolen goods nor caught the thief.
Those guys only remember to eat and not to be beaten, and they have no memory. They couldn't pay the brothel fees, and they got lost more than once, but they dared to go again.
Later, those people in the red-light district all recognized them, and when they saw them going there, they wouldn't let them in.
These guys smashed things up and left cursing.
But even though this gang of troublemakers had left Jixiang County, the case of their lost money and personal belongings here had not been solved! County Magistrate Yang secretly investigated for a long time, but still had no clue and felt very helpless.
At this moment, facing the case of the imperial envoy's disappearance, the familiar feeling of powerlessness in his heart appeared again.
I'm afraid this time, it won't end well. I'll have to put in a lot of effort and maybe even have to write a memorial to defend myself.
After all, the imperial edict for the beauty pageant was also lost along with the imperial envoy!
Although County Magistrate Yang was a little anxious and angry, his anxiety was limited.
The emperor has made a lot of stupid moves recently, and he hasn't attended court for quite some time. Not only has he been tormenting his old confidants all day long, he is also dissatisfied with the harem and is completely focused on arranging the selection of concubines.
It is estimated that he will be slapped in the face by the ministers in the court soon! And he will not be able to take care of this!
