[Chapter 148 Chapter 148 Becoming a Popular Person after Divorce (25)]
As Mo Sanniang spoke, she pinched her sleeves with her hands and looked downcast. Although she showed hatred, it was not profound.
More like being afraid of something.
Moreover, she was bold and unrestrained in her behavior, and she was not the kind of person who would be convicted of murder for losing her virginity.
Yan Qing felt that she killed Zhao Xiong in order to protect herself and take the initiative.
"The girl is considerate." Under her gaze that seemed to be able to see through her soul, Mo Sanniang restrained her expression and smiled gently.
Yan Qing said modestly: "Same here."
Although she tried her best to make her features look heroic, she did not have the Adam's apple that a man should have.
It was not surprising to be discovered to be a girl.
She turned her tongue and spoke again, "Maybe I can help Sanniang find a new way to live."
Mo Sanniang thought for a long time before she let out a breath as if she had made up her mind. She looked up at her and said, "I can tell you everything I know, but you have to ensure that my life is safe."
"certainly."
Yan Qing walked up to Xu Wenzhang and spread his hands.
The man, who didn't understand what she meant, was stunned.
She sighed and reached into his pocket for the banknote.
Xu Wenzhang thought she was going to do something, so he symbolically put his hand out to block her: "Ah Qing, someone is watching us, this is not good~"
There seemed to be a black line sliding down the back of Yan Qing's head.
Mo Sanniang on the side covered her mouth and laughed.
"Oh, so A Qing wants to get the silver bills." Xu Wenxuan curled his lips.
He thought that Ah Qing was still remembering the grudge from last time and was trying to get revenge.
Yan Qing handed the money to Mo Sanniang: "My sincerity."
"Let's talk in another room." Mo Sanniang glanced at the table that was split in half and took her to the next room.
"I'm going too." Xu Wenzhang raised his foot to follow.
Yan Qing waved his hand: "You stay here."
Mo Sanniang covered her lips and said, "This kid is worried about you."
Yan Qing put his arm around her waist and said, "Are you afraid that Sanniang will eat me?"
After the two finished talking, they went out and met Xu Wenzhang's pair of resentful dark eyes.
He looked like a wronged goose who was left alone at home while his friends were traveling together.
The fish turned over and the sky suddenly brightened.
Mo Sanniang sent a message to Qinglong Village, saying that the second in command was killed in her shop.
The moment the body was carried out, everyone else immediately ran out of the store.
The entire lobby of the inn was so quiet that the only sound that could be heard was the light tapping of Yan Qing's chopsticks against the dishes.
"I'm coming." Mo Sanniang, who was standing at the door, looked back at her and then looked outside the door again.
The waiter who was wiping the table in front of the counter immediately squatted down timidly, only showing a pair of eyes looking outside, rubbing the rag in his hand back and forth on the counter.
I am scared but also want to peek.
Yan Qing was enjoying his meal.
A group of people filed in and surrounded her, looking at her with hatred.
"If you dare to touch my second brother, I will kill you!" A shirtless man raised the big knife in his hand.
"Third brother!" The person behind him stopped him.
Yan Qing then raised his head and said, "Boss, I have heard a lot about you."
She pointed to the seat across the table, where a set of bowls and chopsticks had been prepared.
"Brother, is this pretty boy playing any tricks? Don't be fooled by him." The sturdy man with half of his arms bare put the big knife on his shoulder and looked at her fiercely.
The eldest boss raised his hand and said, "Old Third, take your men to guard outside the store first. We still have to give Sanniang some face."
He sat opposite Yan Qing and looked at her carefully.
The elegant man was wearing a long gown. He had an ordinary face but a unique temperament.
He doesn't have any bandit-like airs, but instead looks more like a scholar.
He was a man of ruthless eyes, and recognized Yan Qing's daughter at a glance: "Should I call you young master or young lady?"
"Of course it's up to the boss's wishes. It's just a title and doesn't matter." Yan Qing put down his chopsticks and poured him a glass of wine.
The man stared at her with his tiger eyes: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
"The boss is so wise and brave, how could he be such a person who cannot distinguish right from wrong?" Yan Qing said neither humble nor arrogant.
He slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table, with murderous aura on his body: "You killed my second brother, and you dare to be so calm in front of me, you have guts."
He killed someone and didn't run away, and even acted as if he had been waiting for a long time, which made him wonder if the other party was relying on something to be so calm.
"Thank you for the compliment." Yan Qing's eyes swept across the corpse on the ground, "I killed him because he deserved it."
"How dare you!" The boss was so angry that he slammed the table.
The sturdy man who retreated to the door came over with his men, and pointed their weapons at Yan Qing.
Yan Qing smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Boss. Why not take a look at this first?"
She pulled a letter out of her bosom and handed it over.
It was a message that Zhao Xiong had teamed up with others to seize disaster relief funds.
Of course, she faked it.
During her conversation with Sanniang, she learned that Zhao Xiong was planning to join forces with the governor of Pingnan County to rob disaster relief funds.
Knowing this, Sanniang felt that the matter was of great importance and that she might be silenced, so she decided to take action against Zhao Xiong first.
It can also be considered as doing a good thing for the disaster-stricken people in Pingnan.
"Even if this is true, it is a matter of my village. It seems that you are not qualified to clean up the mess for my Qinglong Village."
The man applied force with his fingers, and the letter paper crumpled into a ball.
Yan Qing calmly picked up the food with chopsticks: "What if I say that he intended to do something bad to the prince of Lin'an Marquis Mansion, and that's why he was killed on the spot?"
Without waiting for the other party to speak again, she took out the identity token she had found on Xu Wenjian and slapped it on the table.
The fierce expression on the boss's face disappeared, and he took a sip of wine: "If that's true, he deserved to die."
Although Marquis Lin'an has retired from the front line, the prestige he accumulated over the past few decades remains.
Sanniang mentioned in her letter that there was a handsome young man in red, and I'm afraid that was the prince himself.
The prince must have already gone to the nearby town to mobilize troops. No wonder this girl is so fearless.
"I came here today to discuss a deal with you, Boss." Yan Qing raised his glass to toast him.
The head of the family glanced at the Marquis Mansion token in her hand, and the muscles on his face twitched: "Young lady, please speak."
The two went to the upstairs room to talk, and Mo Sanniang hesitated and waited outside the door.
When Xu Wenjian led his men back to the inn, the people from Qinglong Village had already left with Zhao Xiong's body.
"A Qing!" He hurriedly dismounted to check on Yan Qing's condition.
Yan Qing asked the waiter to bring him a pot of tea to moisten his throat: "Calling for the soul."
"Where are they?" He took a big gulp of tea and looked around, but didn't see anyone from Qinglong Village.
Only the guards he borrowed from Zecheng were stationed on both sides.
Yan Qing leaned against the counter, looking relaxed: "Of course I went back."
Xu Wenjian's eyes widened: "Then why does Ah Qing want me to borrow someone for?"
"It's called being prepared." Yan Qing raised an index finger and waved it in front of him.
After staying in the inn for another night, Yan Qing decided not to enter Panhu Mountain first, but to go to Zecheng instead and wait for Han Sheng in the post house.
He and Xu Wenxuan traveled on horseback, stopping and starting for more than ten days.
Han Sheng led a team of guards to escort 500,000 taels of silver. Considering the speed of the escort team, it would take about half a month to arrive.
During this period, she and Xu Wenxuan went to Qinglongzhai.
Han Sheng arrived in Zecheng and had just entered the posthouse to rest when he suddenly heard that an old friend wanted to see him.
