Su Man squatted down and flipped through the books. Most of them were antique books, but there were even a few erotic pictures. Looking at the novelty and patterns, Su Man had to say that they were really fancy.
I flipped to the bottom and finally found the real stuff: a small wooden box containing a stack of letters and two account books.
After checking it out, it turned out to be Fang Qingshan's private accounts over the years.
Su Man flicked the cover, finally the trip was not in vain.
"Madam, we've searched everywhere, but we can't find Fang Junye and his mother. How about we take this kid back first?"
Su Man glanced at Fang Junyi, who was barely alive, and said, "He's a bastard. Fang Qingshan might not care even if he died. There's no point in just bringing him along."
“…”
Upon hearing this, Fang Junyi, who was still breathing, went over directly.
"Madam, Military Advisor Yuan said we need to leave the city before the midday shift change, so we can't be delayed too long."
Su Man also understood that although everything was going smoothly, if they were discovered, they would all be dead. At least they had obtained evidence, so it wasn't a wasted trip.
"Then we shall..."
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The sound of knocking on the door interrupted Su Man's words. The door outside was slammed loudly.
Outside the door, the maidservant beside Madam Fang banged on it heavily, "What are you doing? You didn't know Madam was back! Open the door!"
A few steps away, Fang Junye was supporting Mrs. Fang and was locked outside her own house. Mrs. Fang's nose was not a nose and her face was not a face.
"This is outrageous! They dare to be lazy when the master is not at home! I think their job is over!"
Fang Junye knew Madam Fang's temperament and advised, "If the servants are bad, mother should punish them. Why get angry and hurt yourself?"
As he was speaking, the door opened.
Mrs. Fang was so angry that she rushed in in two steps. "Who's on duty today...ah!"
A sack was put over Mrs. Fang's head, and she was hit with a club, and she immediately stopped moving.
Fang Junye looked at the fallen soldiers and felt that something was wrong. He turned around and tried to run, but his body froze.
Behind him, Tiger Eye dropped the stick, grabbed Fang Junye's feet and dragged him into the door.
Looking at the three auspicious treasures on the ground, Su Man smiled. It was really easy to get them.
After tying up the man, the group ran away immediately.
When they arrived at the city gate, Yuan Junshi and his group were already waiting anxiously, "What took you so long? It's almost time for the shift change, let's go."
Time was running out and there was no time to change clothes. Unexpectedly, they had just taken a few steps when someone called them from behind.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
At this time, the guards who were supposed to take over their shift had arrived and looked puzzled when they saw them walking out of the city.
Although they were discovered, the brothers who had already succeeded didn't care at all and joked, "What are you going to do? Go home, of course."
The guards saw that they looked unfamiliar and immediately became wary. "You are not soldiers, who are you?"
Tiger Eyes jumped onto his horse and said, "Don't ask anymore. It's pointless to ask."
After saying this, he kicked his horse's belly and the group sped away.
In the dust, the officers and soldiers ran a long way, "Stop! Stop!"
...
Black Wind Village
"Hahaha, today is going so smoothly."
"Yes, look at how cowardly those officers and soldiers are. They ran so hard that their pants fell off, but they still couldn't catch up with us."
"Exactly, hahahaha, it feels so good."
The brothers were chatting outside, while Su Man and Military Advisor Yuan were studying Fang Qingshan's letters in the house.
Su Man hadn't opened the letter before at Fang's house. Now when she took out the letter, she saw that it was blank.
Su Man was surprised for a moment, "This?"
Military Advisor Yuan studied it over and over again. "It must be written with special ink. It needs developing powder to be read."
"Then where can I find this developing powder?"
"If Madam trusts me, give me a day and I will get it."
"good."
Su Man flipped through the account book unconsciously. "Since the village chief has gone to complain, without evidence, it's useless. We have to send the things to him."
"Madam, you are right. I will find some good men to go to the capital to help the leader."
"But the capital is so big, how are they going to find the village chief?"
"I'll go."
A voice interrupted Su Man and Military Advisor Yuan. It was Wei Ma. She had brought the food over because Su Man and Military Advisor Yuan hadn't gone out to eat, and happened to overhear their conversation.
Facing Wei Ma's volunteering, Su Man tactfully advised, "It's a long journey to the capital, and you have to travel day and night. I'm afraid your body can't handle it."
Wei Ma, changing her usual kind expression, clapped her hands and said, "Can't handle this? When I was young, I was a bodyguard for my family. If I hadn't offended someone and been framed, now you want me to help deliver things, and you have to pay me for the escort fee."
"But..." Su Man was still a little worried.
Wei Ma waved her hand. "Alright, don't say anything. I have to go on this trip. Otherwise, you can find a few other guys. We're unfamiliar with the area, so how can we find the village chief?"
She was right. Most of the brothers in Black Wind Village were from the surrounding villages. They were not familiar with the capital and had no idea where Ao Xi would go. Wei Ma was more suitable.
Thinking of this, Su Man said, "Then you must take care of yourself, otherwise Military Advisor Yuan and I will not be able to explain to the village chief."
"Don't worry, I'll go pack my luggage now."
Wei Ma put down the food and hummed a little tune as she left.
-
Wei Ma left that afternoon. Ao Xi was not there to begin with, and with Wei Ma gone, Black Wind Village became a lot quieter.
Military Advisor Yuan has been practicing the defense of Black Wind Village, always preparing for the upcoming fierce battle.
