Chapter 371 Tiger
However, Qiao Chi and Feng Guqiu, who were at the construction site, had no idea how lively the situation was here!
Qiao Chi was still able to remain calm, but Feng Guqiu's heart skipped a beat when he saw the sudden increase in the number of people. He was afraid that they were here to cause trouble.
Therefore, Feng Guqiu anxiously ordered the guards behind her: "Go and find out what's going on. Act quickly!" Her voice was anxious and uneasy.
Seeing this, the two guards behind Feng Guqiu looked at each other.
One of them stood up, clasped his fists and said respectfully, "Yes, Miss Feng, I'll go right away!"
After saying this, he turned around and ran towards the crowd without hesitation.
Feng Guqiu stared at the guard's departing back, his brows furrowed tightly. His eyes were still fixed on the noisy crowd, and he muttered to himself, "Please don't let anything go wrong!"
After a while, the guard came running back, breathing heavily, and said, "Miss Feng, the princess is recruiting workers, and these people are here to work."
But when he said this, the guard's expression looked extremely strange.
Feng Guqiu finally felt relieved, and naturally noticed the guards' strange behavior. "Brother Du, what happened to the princess? Why are there so many people suddenly here?"
Du Ruo did not hide it and told Chu Ci's series of outrageous actions in detail.
The more Feng Guqiu listened, the brighter his eyes became. Excitement gleamed in his bright eyes, and he couldn't wait to ask, "How's the princess doing now?"
"The princess has Lord Fan by her side, so you should stay at the Charity Bureau." Feng Guqiu's intentions were too obvious, so Du Ruo hurriedly advised, pointing to the noisy crowd not far away, "We can't do without you to take charge of things here either."
Feng Guqiu sighed deeply and muttered with regret, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have agreed to come here to be an accountant."
After saying that, he said listlessly, "Brother Du, can you help register them? Okay, specifically register their specialties."
If Du Ruo had witnessed Feng Guqiu's determination to achieve his goal, he could only accept his fate and go to register obediently.
And he kept comforting himself in his heart: Fortunately, Miss Feng didn't ignore everything. At least she did a good job in controlling the general direction.
Alas, there is no one else like him!
It’s just that human beings’ joys and sorrows are not the same. Feng Guqiu is still busy at the Charity Bureau, while Chu Ci is looking at the list in his hand with a focused gaze.
After carefully calculating in her mind, she said with a happy expression, "Husband, now we can finally put the matter of hiring female workers on the agenda."
After hearing this, Fan Jingrui smiled with satisfaction and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam. This matter has made some progress thanks to your planning."
Chu Ci gently waved his hand and said, "Don't flatter me. I know my own limitations. The fact that this matter has come to fruition is the result of everyone's concerted efforts."
At this point, Chu Ci suddenly frowned, as if he had thought of something, and said worriedly, "Cui Liren will be tried tomorrow. Will there be any problems?"
Fan Jingrui held Chu Ci's hand and said soothingly, "Don't worry, Madam. The evidence is solid, and I don't think he can come up with anything."
Chu Ci still looked uneasy: "But I always feel uneasy."
Fan Jingrui patted the back of her hand gently: "Don't worry, I have made all the arrangements, everything is under control."
Chu Ci was relieved: "I hope so."
However, Chu Ci's intuition has always been amazingly accurate.
At dawn, Qiu Xinran hurried over to report, "Sir, a ferocious tiger has suddenly appeared in a small village called Cuiliu, just below Fengqiao Town. It's extremely ferocious and has already injured several people."
However, Chu Ci's intuition has always been amazingly accurate.
At dawn, just as the light of dawn was breaking, Fan Wen knocked on Fan Jingrui's door. "Sir, Captain Qiu said he has an urgent matter to report."
Fan Jingrui quickly stood up and said to Chu Ci while tidying his clothes: "My lady, go to sleep first. I will go to the front hall with Fan Wen to take a look."
Chu Ci looked out the window and saw that it was pitch black outside.
Someone came to report at this hour, so it must be something serious.
She sighed softly and said, "When you're not around, I feel uneasy and can't sleep. Might as well go and have a look. Just in case... I can help. It's better than just sitting here anxiously."
Fan Jingrui knew that what Chu Ci said made sense, so he stopped trying to stop him.
Arriving at the front hall, Fan Jingrui saw Captain Qiu's serious expression and hurriedly asked, "Captain Qiu, what are you so anxious about?"
Captain Qiu clasped his fists and saluted, saying anxiously, "Sir, there's a small village called Cuiliu below Fengqiao Town. A ferocious tiger has suddenly appeared. It's extremely ferocious and has already injured several people."
Upon hearing this, Fan Jingrui frowned and said solemnly, "How could such a thing happen! Quickly gather our forces and prepare to capture the tiger. We must ensure the safety of the villagers."
Qiu Xinran clasped his fists and replied, "Sir, this tiger is ferocious and may not be easy to deal with."
Fan Jingrui's eyes were firm, his tone resolute, "Even if it's difficult, we must not allow this beast to continue hurting people. Immediately prepare more powerful bows and crossbows and sharp weapons, and find a few experienced and agile hunters to help."
"Where's County Magistrate Shan? Has anyone gone to notify him?"
"This matter concerns the safety of the people and cannot afford any mistakes. All parties must work together and must not be negligent in the slightest."
As soon as Fan Jingrui finished speaking, Fan Wu came hurriedly with a man. Upon closer inspection, it was the county lieutenant Shanyu Feng.
As soon as Shan Yufeng entered, he clasped his fists and saluted, eagerly offering his services: "Sir, I heard a tiger appeared in Cuiliu Village and attacked people. I am willing to personally lead a team of elite soldiers to round up the beast and capture it to ensure the safety of the villagers!"
Fan Jingrui nodded slightly, his eyes full of admiration.
However, he did not reply to Shan Yufeng immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Chu Ci with a look of concern, and said, "My wife, do you have any medicine? It is inevitable that there will be injuries in this tiger hunt."
"Prepare some for County Lieutenant Shan just in case, so that the soldiers don't have to worry."
Chu Ci understood immediately after hearing this, "Wait a moment."
As he said that, he ran out at full speed. After a while, Chu Ci came back with a small cloth bag.
She was panting, with beads of sweat on her forehead, but she didn't bother to wipe them off. "This is a drug used to drug tigers. You must keep it safe."
"This is for stopping bleeding. If someone is injured, apply it quickly to stop the bleeding. This is also for wound healing. These herbs can also help relieve pain."
Shan Yufeng's face was filled with gratitude, and he quickly clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you, Madam. With these, we will definitely have a better chance of success in this roundup."
