Chapter 298 Someone Wants to Trick Me



After everyone entered the city together, Wang Changling looked at Zhou Fuan and said, "Prison Warden Zhou, how do you think we should split up?"

"We are few in number, I will just go buy a carriage, some food, clothes, bedding and so on."

Zhou Fuan had a smile on his face, but he felt bitter inside.

[Only Qin Guanshan and I are left among the escorting officers. The others have become members of the Su family. I can’t control anything. I just need to take care of the two of us. The weather is getting colder and colder. Our blankets, thick clothes and everything else were lost in the mudslide. If we don’t buy some, I’m afraid we won’t be able to reach the place of exile and will freeze to death on the way.]

"Warden Zhou is right. We have to buy these things too."

Wang Changling looked at Su Chengyi, "Second Master, what about you guys?"

He was talking to Su Chengyi, but his eyes were looking at Butler Su for a while, then at Su Mibao, thinking,

[Although Mr. Su is a failure, I really want to ask Steward Su and the young ancestor of the Su family directly.]

Su Mibao glanced at Butler Su, opened her mouth but said nothing.

Housekeeper Su was very shrewd. He saw the shape of his little ancestor and knew it was a car. He immediately understood and said to Su Chengyi with a smile,

"Second Master, you go with Prison Master Zhou to buy a car. I'll go look for food and clothes, and take the young mistress out for a stroll and buy her some delicious food."

Su Chengyi: [I am Mi Baobao's father. Shouldn't I be the one who takes my daughter shopping and buying delicious food? ]

But after looking at the little girl, the words of objection were on the tip of her tongue, so she changed it to,

"good."

Then he turned around, put one hand on Zhou Fuan's shoulder and the other on Wang Changling, "Let's go, we are men, and buying a carriage is a big deal. Only we men can go and see it."

The others, because everyone wanted to buy different things, formed groups of two or three and agreed to meet at this place an hour later, and then left in a hurry.

After all, it only takes one hour, and it cost four taels of silver, so it can't be wasted.

Su Mibao was carried on Su Jiu's back and left with Butler Su.

The clothes and food they wanted to buy were all in Su Mibao's space. They would just need to find a hidden place and take them out later.

Therefore, the three of them are the most relaxed.

After walking down one street, I saw a tall restaurant not far ahead. There were cars and horses coming and going in front of the door, and the waiter who greeted guests was dressed neatly.

"Let's go eat first, have a good meal. Then we'll go to the County Governor's Mansion to take a look."

"Young Master, go eat. I want to go somewhere and take a look."

Butler Su's expression suddenly became solemn, and a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.

Su Mibao did not miss the strange emotion that flashed across Butler Su's face.

"I will be back soon and will not delay the young master's business."

Butler Su couldn't suppress his emotions.

Su Mibao suddenly remembered, Yudong County, no wonder she felt that the place name was familiar. The original book said that this was the place where Steward Su's ancestral home was. Steward Su's escort agency was opened in this Yudong County city, right? Su Mibao nodded and watched Steward Su's back as he walked away.

She tried hard to recall the contents of the original book. Who was the enemy who wiped out the entire family of Steward Su? It seemed to be the governor of Yudong County. The governor colluded with people in Beijing and planned a big event. Steward Su's escort agency was just a cannon fodder involved.

Who is Steward Su going to see? The entire escort agency was destroyed back then, is there anyone still alive?

If the person is alive, why hasn't Butler Su come to see that person for all these years?

Su Mibao couldn't figure it out, and couldn't recall what other details there were in the original book. After all, in the original book, their Su family were all cannon fodder, not to mention Steward Su, the steward of a cannon fodder family.

"Come on, Nine, let's go eat."

For more than two months, she has been walking on the road, sleeping in the open air, and with so many people around, she can only secretly feed food to her family, and can't even have a decent meal.

She went into the city today and no one was following her, so she had to have a good meal.

Next, Su Mibao was carried into the restaurant by Su Jiu, and the two, one big and one small, started the eating show mode.

The restaurant’s signature dishes are served in an endless stream.

They finished their meal and paid the bill.

98 taels of silver.

Even in a disaster year, no one would ask for such a high price.

It was obvious that they were being tricked because they were from outside the area and there were two of them, one big and one small.

"This is a disaster year. Everything is expensive."

Su Jiu's face turned cold and he drew out his knife with a swish.

"I'm too full, I'm leaving."

Su Jiu immediately put the knife back, stood up, carried Su Mibao on his back and left.

"Let's go and look at the food and cloth."

Su Jiu walked downstairs carrying Su Mibao on his back and happened to meet the shopkeeper who was walking towards them.

The shopkeeper was all smiles.

"Sir, I'm done eating. Welcome to come again next time."

The shopkeeper thought to himself: "Although these two foreigners are dressed in rags, they are quite rich. They took out a hundred taels for a meal. They must have more money on them. When they leave my building, I will send someone to follow them to a secluded place and capture them. All the money on them will be mine. The elder one is handsome and the younger one is fair and cute. Send them to the county governor's mansion and make another fortune."

Su Mibao listened to the shopkeeper's thoughts and snorted coldly. When she passed by the shopkeeper, her little hand touched the shopkeeper's clothes. In an instant, the jade pendant, purse and other things on the shopkeeper's body were all in her space.

Go out the door,

"Let's go, they're going to catch us."

Su Mibao thought, if they hadn't made an appointment to go out of town, her father would be worried to death if she didn't go back.

She really wanted to follow the shopkeeper's idea and pretend to be caught by him and then sent to the county governor's mansion. After entering, she would do a sweep and find out the problem at the same time.

Think about it, time does not allow. I can only think directly and enter the county governor's mansion now.

After all, if she was not mistaken, Butler Su should have met the person he wanted to meet and might have already entered the County Magistrate's Mansion.

She had to find a way to pick him up, otherwise it would be troublesome if Butler Su was trapped in the County Magistrate's Mansion and couldn't get out.

"Hey, where are the people?"

Four tall and strong waiters came out of the restaurant right after them, followed the two men forward, and the two men disappeared as they turned a corner.

"It's impossible for these two to run that fast?"

The four guys looked at the long empty alley in front of them and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Nothing's going to happen, is it?"

The owner of their restaurant is the county magistrate.

"Hurry back and tell the shopkeeper."

The four waiters turned around and ran back into the building. After hearing what the waiters said, the shopkeeper frowned, "You four followed them closely and watched them enter the alley and then disappear?"

"Well, if it wasn't a ghost, how could a human have such high martial arts skills?"

Martial arts?

The waiter who was serving Su Mibao suddenly remembered something, "Boss, when I went to collect the money just now, the man pulled out a knife. It was a very powerful knife. I think I've seen it somewhere before."

"What kind of knife?"

The shopkeeper then remembered that when he passed by the young man just now, he saw a knife on his shoulder.

"It's just that the blade has..."

The more the waiter introduced it, the more shocked the shopkeeper became. Finally, cold sweat broke out on his back. "Embroidered Spring Blade!"

No matter how it sounds, it all looks like the Embroidered Spring Knife, a knife that only the Dragon Guards around the Emperor can wear.

"I will go see the county governor right now. You guys guard the restaurant and don't let any strange people go."

The shopkeeper turned to the accountant and said, "Give me a thousand taels of silver."

The accountant took out a silver note for 1,000 taels. The shopkeeper took it and was about to put it into his purse, but when he touched it, his face froze immediately.

His purse was gone. He remembered clearly that he had hung it around his waist when he just came down from upstairs.

The waiter noticed the shopkeeper's movements and expression, and looked in the direction of his hand. "Shopkeeper, is your jade pendant gone?"

The shopkeeper then felt his whole body in panic.

His purse, jade pendant, and everything else on him except his clothes were gone.

His face changed immediately.

Everyone looked at each other and their faces changed drastically.

Don’t say anymore, it must be the two people, one big and one small, from before.
