Bumping the black-robed man's hand with his elbow, the white-robed man whispered, "Brother, is the girl's injury serious? I really didn't mean it. At worst, when the girl wakes up, I'll give her a house as compensation. Is that okay?"
“…”
The man in black looked at the man in white speechlessly. It seemed that the second generation of rich people were really different. But judging from the simple clothes of the woman on the bed, she should be an ordinary peasant woman. If this guy suddenly gave someone a house, it might not be a good thing for the injured girl on the bed.
Maybe the emperor would use the girl's appearance to trace him as the mastermind behind the incident, and then he would really be killed by this pig-headed guy.
The black-robed man looked very disgusted and said impatiently to the white-robed man, "Don't you know how to keep a low profile? Don't act rashly. The girl is fine now. Once I find out where she's from, I'll send someone to take her back."
The man in white felt that something was still wrong.
"Brother, I accidentally injured her. Don't I really have to pay compensation?"
"If you really want compensation, you can just give her ten taels of silver after you find her family."
"Only ten taels, so little..."
Receiving the warning look from the man in black, the man in white immediately shut his mouth.
Ten taels of silver was just the money for a meal for the man in white, and that was an average meal at that. But he didn't know that ten taels of silver was actually enough for an ordinary family to eat for a whole year.
Seeing that the man in white was quiet, the man in black continued, "You stay here and watch her. If you need anything, send someone to find me. I have other things to deal with."
"Brother...why don't I go with you to Guangming Village?"
Another killing look, and the man in white had no choice but to shut up again.
The man in black no longer paid any attention to the man in white and left the inn quietly.
…
Village Chief Xu followed the direction the vegetable vendor pointed and asked everyone he met, "Young man, have you seen a man in black with a masked girl?"
The young man who was being pulled waved his hand.
"No."
Not long after walking, Village Chief Xu stopped in front of a woman again.
"Auntie, have you seen..."
“No, no…”
Before Village Chief Xu could finish asking the question, the woman turned away impatiently.
Village Chief Xu had no choice but to ask the pedestrians opposite him again.
"Hey bro, have you seen a man in black with a girl wearing a mask?"
“I didn’t see it, I didn’t see it…”
I don’t know how many people he asked this question, but no one could give Village Chief Xu an answer until he was tired and sat down under a big banyan tree to rest.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ankle.
Looking down, he saw that it was a small stone wrapped in paper that hit him.
Chief Xu curiously picked up the stone on the ground and opened it to see a row of small words written on it:
The person you are looking for is in the No. 1 Wing of the Fulai Inn. If you want to see her, please go there quickly.
After closing the note, Village Chief Xu didn't care whether it was true or not. He hurried to the Fulai Inn across the street.
According to what was written on the note, Captain Xu found the No. 1 wing of the inn, but what surprised him was that the door of the wing was open?
Outside the wing room, Captain Xu walked in cautiously and saw that there was indeed a person lying on the bed.
However, he was not sure whether the person was Shu Jiaying, so Village Chief Xu could only call out softly from outside.
"Jiaying girl...are you in there? Jiaying girl..."
