"Wake up! There's a fire outside! Run! Wake up!" the accountant shouted urgently into the beggar leader's ear.
He even tried to pull up the beggar leader's arm, as if to drag him up and make him escape quickly.
However, the leader of the beggars did not react at all, remaining slumped over the dining table without even frowning.
The servants then went to the other beggars' ears and shouted, but they remained motionless like dead pigs. They were slumped over on the dining table, on the floor, on chairs... everywhere.
"Looks like he really is drugged." Zhang Li kicked the beggar who had just been lying on the stool to the ground.
"Damn it, these beggars actually know how to enjoy themselves. Three big tables, piled high with food."
"Exactly! Don't they even know what kind of worthless life they have? Do they even deserve to eat?"
"A beggar should go back to his beggar's den. He thinks he can act like a tyrant in the Mo family mansion? He's dreaming!"
...
"Alright, the most important thing now is to get down to business. There are so many beggars to suffer in the future, why waste time arguing with them!" the accountant said irritably after confirming that the beggar's head had fainted.
Is this the time to argue with beggars? Don't you even consider the situation? The important thing is to hurry up and collect the indenture and your belongings!
"Let's go, let's go, the gentleman is right."
"There's no need to get angry with these beggars; it would only lower your status!"
Then, the servants hurriedly went out.
"What is that?"
"Bang!"
Zhang Li was walking out when he suddenly stepped on something soft, which startled him. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a cat. He was furious, thinking it was ruining his plans, and kicked it away.
He hurriedly chased after the person, and because of the time he had spent, he fell far behind. He took three steps at a time and rushed forward.
I can't be late, or I'll be devastated if all the good stuff gets snatched up!
Although it was agreed beforehand that they would rob the items first and then divide the spoils equally, the eldest brother knew that the second brother might be one of those who lacked martial ethics and might take advantage of the chaos to hide a couple of items.
After all, small items like earrings and rings are quite inconspicuous! They might be hidden away without anyone noticing!
Thinking of this, Zhang Li quickened his pace.
After everyone had left, the leader of the beggars opened his eyes, revealing a shrewd glint in them. However, as if suddenly remembering something, he made a gesture and closed his eyes again.
The beggars who had just opened their eyes and were about to make a move, as if they had received instructions, returned to their original state.
After a while,
“I knew they must have fainted. Sir, you were just overthinking it.” When Zhang Li reached the courtyard gate, he found the others standing aside, observing the situation inside the room from a distance.
The once empty courtyard gate was now filled with servants, and from the gate, one could clearly see the beggars' movements.
"I was being too cautious," the accountant waved his hand.
"Let's go, we've dealt with these beggars, now it's time for the main event!"
Then the servants hurried toward Gao Pan'er's courtyard.
Now that everyone was gone, the leader of the beggars opened his eyes and sat up straight. He told the others to get up.
"Get up, the person is gone."
Upon hearing the leader's voice, the other beggars opened their eyes and stood up from the ground, from the stools, and so on.
"Boss, you're really something! Otherwise, we would have definitely fallen for it!"
"Damn it, that bastard kicked me! Next time he'll lick my shoes!"
"Boss, they're trying to drug us. What are they planning to do?"
...
"We really have to thank Little Black this time. We'll reward it with some dried fish later." One of the beggars stepped forward, picked up the little black cat that had been kicked away, and checked it over. It wasn't missing any limbs. As for whether it had any internal injuries, they'd have to wait until it woke up and see how it was.
It turned out that, due to the tense atmosphere these past few days, the beggar leader would first pick out some food for Xiao Hei to eat before each meal, and only start eating after a few minutes to make sure that Xiao Hei was alright.
The other beggars felt it was troublesome, as the hot food would lose its warmth if they delayed like this!
However, trusting my boss, I did as he said. As usual, I assumed we'd be able to eat soon.
However, after finishing his meal, Xiao Hei quickly fainted. Everyone was terrified, thinking Xiao Hei was dead!
He rushed forward to check and saw that Xiao Hei's body was moving, and then he felt relieved.
When the leader of the beggars saw this, he knew something was wrong; they had been tricked!
He hurriedly ordered someone to spill some of the food from the table, making it look like it had been eaten, and then told everyone to quickly lie down.
No matter what happens, don't move! Follow instructions completely! That's the only way to get away with it and avoid being discovered.
The beggar leader was also a little confused. If they were here to commit a heinous act, why hadn't they seen Gao Pan'er?
Why go through all that trouble just to knock them unconscious?
Were we not here to drive them away?
Although it's unclear now, the most important thing right now is to go and see what's going on. Then everything will be clear!
The leader of the beggars led the others in pursuit of the lower-class people.
Meanwhile, Mo Qian had finished having fun in the city and it was time to come back and retrieve the things she had left with Gao Pan'er!
Strolling leisurely down the main street of the town, I headed towards the Mo residence.
From within the Mirror of Recall, Mo Qian already knew that someone was up to something tonight! She made a special trip back at this time to be there and watch the drama unfold! Haha, besides, it's almost time anyway.
"What are you doing in here? Get out! Get out!" Gao Pan'er was lying in bed sleeping, having a sweet dream.
Suddenly, with a loud bang, the door was kicked open from the outside, waking Gao Pan'er from her dream. She sat up and saw a group of people entering the room one after another, and she was furious!
Feeling the chill, I pulled the blanket up to cover my upper body.
I wasn't even dressed, just wearing a light jacket, and these people barged in?!
First, she was furious, then she realized her current situation and felt incredibly ashamed. Being watched by so many people made her so angry she felt like her anger was rising to her head! She also started to worry about herself!
The servants didn't think much of it and just barged in. After all, they were planning to rob her anyway, so they didn't care about anything else. They didn't bother to drug Gao Pan'er, since she was just a weak woman and they didn't take her seriously.
Upon entering, what caught their eye was a patch of white, porcelain-white as snow, which almost blinded them!
A small top hung loosely on her body, unable to conceal the softness of her chest!
Look closely!
"Madam, we just want to ask you to do us a favor. We've returned the indentures of the maids in the house; you can't leave us out."
"We thought that since Madam is a busy person, we wouldn't trouble her to come and would just come and get it herself."
"We're not young anymore. We want to earn some money, get married, and live a comfortable life with a wife and kids."
"Madam, surely you can understand?" The accountant stepped forward from among the servants, speaking slowly and deliberately. A wicked glint in his eyes as he walked step by step toward Gao Pan'er, his hand outstretched...
