Chunxiao was worried about Dongsheng's injury, and kept looking outside the door to see if the doctor had come yet. However, the doctor did not come, but the government officials arrived first.
The shopkeeper must have roughly told them what happened today along the way. When the officers and soldiers arrived, they saw them, asked about the general situation, and then had the bodies carried down.
Before they arrived, Xiaohua took all the jewelry that Chunxiao bought from the bandits' bags and put them back into her own bag, but she did not touch the others.
So many people died today, the government will naturally question them, and they all have to go to the yamen.
"Sir, he is injured and has gone to see a doctor. Can you please wait a moment and wait until the doctor comes and bandages the wound before going?" Chunxiao pleaded.
The shopkeeper only realized that these people were dead after he saw them being carried down. On the one hand, he felt that they deserved to die, but on the other hand, he felt that dying in the store was really bad luck.
The people who had been hiding not far from the inn came back one after another when they saw the officials coming. They went back to their rooms, put on their clothes, and prepared to go to the yamen to take statements.
The doctor came and went into the room to clean Dongsheng's wound, bandaged it, and told him to change the dressing frequently every day. Seeing soldiers and dead bodies in the lobby, he knew that something might have gone wrong, so he came and left in a hurry.
So late at night, a group of people went to the yamen.
Chunxiao and the others finished taking the statements and came out quickly, but I waited at the door for a long time but Dongsheng and the others didn't come out.
"Miss, what should we do?"
The inn is now closed, so she definitely can't stay there anymore. She doesn't want to go back there either. Thinking about what happened today makes her feel sick. "Go get the carriage over here, we'll wait here."
She found a place to sit down at the gate of the yamen, and Xiaohua returned to the inn in the dark.
She was not the only one at the yamen gate at the moment. There were also many inn guests who had nowhere to go and were sitting there in groups of three or four. They had experienced a life-and-death disaster today, and their stolen property was still at the yamen and had not been retrieved.
If Dongsheng had not come today, she would have died here. Thinking of this, she tightened her clothes. This was the second time Dongsheng had saved her. She didn't know how to thank her.
After a while of daydreaming, Xiaohua came driving a carriage. She got on the carriage and dozed off against the wall. As a result, neither Dongsheng nor the coachman came out that night.
She wondered if she would be charged with murder, but everyone could testify that those were wicked criminals. Just as she was becoming increasingly panicked, daybreak arrived, and Dongsheng and the driver finally came out.
She hurriedly got off the carriage and asked, "What's going on?"
"It's okay, we can go now. Let's go find a safe inn and rest for everyone. We can talk after we've rested."
The driver took the initiative to get on the carriage and started driving, "Today was really thrilling. If it weren't for the boss, we would all be doomed."
Chunxiao and Xiaohua finally calmed down a bit. "Have we explained everything to the authorities? They shouldn't cause us any more trouble, right?"
"Don't worry, those guys were wanted criminals from the beginning. We're not only innocent, but we've even made contributions. Once the case is closed, we'll go to the government office to collect the reward." Dongsheng deliberately changed his tone to a lighter one, but seeing Chunxiao still frowned, he said, "Everyone was pretty scared last night. Let's take a shower and get some sleep. You'll be fine when you wake up."
They found a large and relatively high-end inn. Chunxiao directly asked for four rooms and asked the waiter to get them water for a bath. Yesterday's incident had not yet spread. Although the waiter was surprised that they booked a room so early to take a bath, he had no reason not to do business since the business came to him. After driving their carriage to the stable, he went to the kitchen to ask someone to boil water.
As Chunxiao soaked in the tub, the sticky feeling on her body finally disappeared. Thinking of how she almost died in the inn last night, she was filled with fear. Even after changing into clean clothes and going to bed, she still had nightmares. When she woke up in the afternoon, everyone else was awake.
Xiaohua heard some noise coming from her side and hurried over to knock on the door, "Miss, are you awake?"
Chunxiao opened the door and let her in, "I actually slept for so long."
"Not long. I just got up not long ago."
"I only brought three sets of underwear. I don't want the rest except the one I'm wearing. Don't take yours either. Go to the clothing store later and buy two more sets each. By the way, do we still have the money?"
"They are all here. I've kept them well. Don't worry, miss." Xiaohua didn't sleep well today. She kept thinking that she had killed someone. Although she acted calm in front of Chunxiao, Chunxiao still noticed her abnormality. Her hands were shaking unconsciously.
Chunxiao pulled her to sit down, "Xiaohua, what's wrong with you?"
Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Miss, I'm fine."
"No, why are your hands shaking so badly?"
Xiaohua hid her hands with her sleeves, then looked at her in a panic, "Miss, I don't know either. I don't want to shake, but it doesn't listen to me. I don't know what's wrong with me."
Today's events must have given her a great shock. "Xiaohua, I know you've been thinking about the fact that you hurt someone, but you have to know that it was self-protection. You didn't hurt anyone intentionally. It was someone else who hurt you that caused you to accidentally hurt someone. It's not your fault, you know? The government has said they will reward you."
"Miss, I really didn't mean it. That man stripped my clothes and behaved inappropriately towards me as soon as he entered the room. I stabbed him when I felt the dagger. I'm not a bad person." Only at this time did she vent her fear and unwillingness. Before that, she had been pretending to be calm.
Chun Xiao wiped her tears and carefully comforted her, "Today is all thanks to you. Don't blame yourself. Those people deserved to die."
