After putting the gold barley into her purse, Zhao Qingyan hung it on her waist. In fact, the moment she hung it on her waist, she had already replaced the gold barley in the purse with a stone.
She wasn't stupid. If her purse were stolen, she would lose her own money, and it wouldn't be right for her to go to Magistrate Qiu to ask for it back.
I still care a lot about my image.
The constables and Magistrate Qiu's guards, who were watching Zhao Qingyan from a distance, were all sweating bullets at Zhao Qingyan's reckless actions.
This girl knows exactly how to incite people to commit crimes.
People say you shouldn't flaunt your wealth, but she does the opposite.
Anyone with a brain or a modicum of rationality would know this is a trap.
Money can be a powerful motivator; when faced with enormous profits, people will try to win as long as there is a chance to succeed.
Within 15 minutes of Zhao Qingyan and Xu Dongsheng leaving the money stall, they encountered three hit-and-run thefts and four open robberies on the street.
Those who steal are beaten up and let go, but those who openly rob are naturally not spared. After beating them up, a few coins are given to passersby to help report to the authorities, and then the person is taken away.
The question is why we don't address thieves? Thieves aren't even the worst among criminals.
Moreover, given Zhao Qingyan's method of entrapment, the Qingyang County jail will probably be overflowing with people.
Throughout this entire process, it was Xu Dongsheng who was the one striking people.
Zhao Qingyan acted like an ordinary, frail little girl, perfectly expressing her fear and helplessness.
Whenever Xu Dongsheng saw Zhao Qingyan's pitiful expression, he couldn't help but put his arm around her shoulder.
"Don't be afraid, Yan'er, I'm here."
Ever since the two of them entered the county town alone, Xu Dongsheng has changed how he addresses Zhao Qingyan.
He felt it was very endearing to be called that, especially since it was a name unique to him.
Zhao Qingyan was too lazy to argue with him. It was just a form of address. Having lived in the future, she had seen all sorts of things, and there were plenty of even more nauseating forms of address.
Every time Zhao Qingyan heard Xu Dongsheng say, "Don't be afraid, I'm here,"
They would all cup their hands in their hearts and look at Xu Dongsheng's face with great admiration. Every time this happened, Xu Dongsheng would feel a sense of heroic spirit.
The two went to a jewelry store and bought a lot of gold and silver jewelry, choosing only the finely crafted pieces and avoiding the bulky and ostentatious gold rings and bracelets.
I bought these things for two reasons: firstly, to give thieves a chance to discover me; and secondly, to give them to the women in my family when I got home.
Especially since my second sister-in-law is about to give birth, it's still necessary to buy her a pair of gold bracelets and gold lockets, regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl.
After browsing the jewelry store, buy silk fabrics, then go to the clothing store to buy a few nice outfits, and then go to the rouge shop to buy blush and eyeshadow.
The disguised constables had become numb to Zhao Qingyan's extravagance, while the group of human traffickers who had been trying to capture her were heartbroken.
"Damn, this woman is such a spendthrift. No wonder that wealthy family went to such lengths to catch her; how much money did she steal from her master?"
The road leading to the treacherous Jia Road.
"You're asking me? How would I know how much money this woman has? Judging by the rate she's spending money today, it must be at least several hundred taels."
Did you know that the inkstone she bought for the young man beside her cost 20 taels of silver each, and she bought two at once?
I don't know if that person got kicked in the head by a donkey or what, wouldn't one of those things be enough?
The second-in-command.
"Exactly, exactly, what a spendthrift! If this were my wife, she would have beaten me eight times a day to teach her what it means to be thrifty and manage a household well," said Cunzi Bing.
The traffickers' attention was now focused on trafficker number three.
"Look at you, you think you can marry such a beautiful woman? You're not good-looking at all, but you have quite the nerve to talk big."
The kidnapper was unwilling.
"What about me? What do I lack compared to anyone else? I'm just like everyone else, with one nose and two eyes."
The group of kidnappers said, "Yes, you do look just like everyone else, except you're a bit shorter."
"Guai Zi Bing Qi Jie" is just a little shorter than a normal person, is it really that big of a deal?
C, the kidnapper, was a dwarf, so he often disguised himself as a child to woo girls walking alone.
They would lure the girls into their encirclement, whereupon the girls would be knocked unconscious and then sold off in various places.
Zhao Qingyan followed Xu Dongsheng and wandered around outside for half a day. Although it was all shopping and eating, it was actually quite tiring.
Back at the inn, I ordered hot water and quickly washed up and took a shower. I didn't dare eat the food the inn had prepared, but instead ate the food I had packed on the way back.
After eating, quickly go to bed and wait for the thieves to visit that night.
Sure enough, during the scandalous incident, just when ordinary people were in deep sleep, Zhao Qingyan felt a noise coming from the window.
He quickly grabbed a pre-prepared wet towel and stuffed it into his nose, while also taking the antidote.
She walked to the window, stretched out her little finger, and gently inserted it into the small bamboo tube that had been inserted.
A few breaths later, a thud was heard, and the small bamboo tube fell down along with the person who had just blown the intoxicating smoke.
Those passing by nearly cried out in fright. After all, they were currently hanging outside a second-floor window.
Even if you don't get seriously injured from falling, it will still hurt. Ultimately, it might alert the enemy, which wouldn't be good.
The thief quickly crouched down under the window and listened carefully to the sounds inside. He stayed like a gecko outside Zhao Qingyan's window for about fifteen minutes.
If there was no movement inside, and it wasn't someone inside who got up and discovered something, then the companion might have fainted due to some illness.
As a result, the thief became bolder.
This time, instead of blowing incantations, he lit a piece of incense and stuffed it through the hole in the window paper.
Zhao Qingyan, standing by the window, was speechless. How stupid would someone have to be to do that?
If you blow a sleeping powder, at least no one can see it. If you put a sleeping incense in, even if the person inside wakes up, as long as they're not blind, they'll know there are bad guys outside.
As Zhao Qingyan watched the foolish person outside the window, her ears twitched, and she noticed movement coming from the doorway as well.
"Hehe, that's really true. They won't stop until they get my sister away. I just don't know if these two groups are working together."
Meanwhile, Xu Dongsheng, who was sitting next door, had been pressed against the wall, listening to the sounds coming from Zhao Qingyan's side.
The constables living on the other side of Zhao Qingyan were also watching her movements closely.
Fifteen minutes later, the thief outside the window slowly stood up, slightly relieving the numbness in his legs caused by squatting against the wall for a long time, and carefully pushed open the window.
Zhao Qingyan had just retreated into the gap between the bed and the wall.
Under the covers on the bed, sandbags had been placed the moment she got up; without careful observation, one might mistake them for a person.
