Chapter 36 [Another Great Harvest]
Zhang Xiaopang came out of the warehouse and looked at the rows of milk powder of various brands and fell into deep thought.
[@张小胖: Which brand of milk powder should I choose?]
Jiang Lili hadn't done any research: "We'll buy everything from Australia and New Zealand, just remember not to buy Sanlu!"
A minute later, Fat Zhang brought over a bottle of prepared milk!
Jiang Lili was stunned by the speed: "You have eight hands, don't you? It only took you one minute from picking out the milk powder to making it?"
The milk powder can is so difficult to pry open, it will take more than a minute to open it, right?
@张小胖: No, my grandfather was holding my niece and preparing to feed her with formula, and I snatched the bottle away from her.
Jiang Lili: 6.
What a good Chinese uncle this is!
Jiang Lili handed the bottle to Master Liao. When Master Liao saw the bottle in his hand, his calm face finally became uneasy.
He took the bottle and said seriously, "I'll go out and check the situation for you!"
I don’t know if it was because he was embarrassed to hold the bottle in front of acquaintances, so he made an excuse to go out.
Jiang Lili thought for a moment and handed the electric baton hidden in her sleeve to Liao Ji: "Use this for self-defense."
Liao Ji nodded.
"Let him go out alone?" Xin Che was a little worried.
Jiang Lili was reluctant to tell Xin Che that she could keep in touch with Liao Ji in real time, so she just said, "This kid is very smart."
Master Liao slipped out of the room holding the bottle.
After a while, there was a noise outside the door, and Yuan's voice and several unfamiliar voices could be vaguely heard.
"Where are the people in these two rooms? Where did everyone go?"
"Oh no, the cook's key was stolen!"
"Wait, that Jiang girl's door is still closed."
On this side, Jiang Lili received information from Master Liao in the front: Yuanshi brought six masked men in black who looked strong and powerful.
Jiang Lili asked Zhang Xiaopang to pass the crossbow arrows over and distribute them to Xin Che, Xin Cheng and Zhao Pinghou.
She whispered, "Yuanshi and six others are coming towards our room."
Xin Che gestured to his brother and father. This must have been the tacit understanding they had developed at the border, and the three of them quickly divided the work.
Xin Cheng protected the women of Marquis Zhaoping's mansion. Marquis Zhaoping hid behind the door, while Xin Che pushed open the window and slipped out.
“Squeak—”
The door was pushed open.
Jiang Lili covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound.
"Oh no, it's a trick!"
Yuanshi and the man in black pushed the door open. Their attention was all focused on the room, ignoring what was happening behind them.
The four people they followed fell one by one, and Yuan's scream was strangled halfway.
With the cooperation of Xin's father and son, Yuan's group was quickly subdued.
Jiang Lili was amazed by the smooth coordination.
Yuan and his group were tied up.
Xin Che looked down at Yuan Shi and asked, "How many of you have left?"
Yuanshi was horrified. It was obvious that this family had been drugged, so why were they still okay?
She lowered her head and remained silent, stalling for time, or the person who was supposed to be meeting them to deliver the goods would come to the Ning family mansion and knock on the door.
If there is no response after knocking on the door five times, it means something is wrong.
This is the secret code between them.
If anything abnormal happens, the delivery person will send a fireworks signal to notify their personnel to support Langyan Village.
At this time, Jiang Lili received a message from Master Liao.
@Liao Ji: There's a knock at the door. The knocks are very even and regular. Maybe I read this in a martial arts novel. This might be a code.
Jiang Lili told Xin Che the news without hesitation.
Xin Che reacted quickly. He immediately pressed Yuan Shi: "What was your code for responding to the contact person?"
"How many times?"
Yuan looked up in shock. They were in the side room now, how could this person hear the knock on the door?
When Yuan was shocked, Xin Che looked at her coldly and activated the mechanism of the angry sword in his hand. An angry arrow accurately brushed past Yuan's ear!
"If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you first."
Yuan Shi almost collapsed. Her voice trembled as she said, "Knock twice, three times each time, and then open the door."
Oh my god, what kind of evil spirit did she offend?
Jiang Lili quickly told Master Liao the secret code for her response, feeling a little worried.
But soon a man's voice was heard outside the house: "I didn't expect Yuan Si Niang to hire a child laborer to run errands!"
"How clever! Children don't arouse suspicion."
"Okay, here's the candy for you, go play."
The man responded with Master Liao's innocent voice: "Thank you, uncle."
This tender and soft voice was completely different from the calm Master Liao just now. Jiang Lili could tell that Master Liao was trying hard to act cute, and she couldn't help laughing.
My teammates were dressed as kids, it was so deceptive!
She had a feeling that Master Liao would contribute many more assists in the future with the help of this child.
As soon as the man outside the house pushed open the door, he saw a group of big men kneeling inside the house. He realized that something was wrong and turned around to run, but everything in front of him went dark.
The last hope was extinguished, and coupled with the fact that Xin Che was very good at interrogating spies at the border, the Yuan family could not withstand it at all, and they honestly explained the situation in Langyan Village.
About a year and a half ago, the richest man in Langyan Village held a full moon banquet for his newborn son and invited all the villagers to drink in the wedding wine. However, during the banquet, Yuanshi led people to kidnap all the children of Langyan Village and send them to the school in the city.
Under the pretext of sending the children to school, they are actually kidnapping them in disguise. They use the children to threaten the villagers of Langyan Village to cooperate with them and "slaughter" passers-by.
The richest man in Langyan Village also colluded with this group of people to set traps for the villagers of Langyan Village.
This group of people is extremely arrogant, because they have the support of powerful forces in the Nanzhao Kingdom, and they also have interests transferred to the He family, a local prominent family in Linzhou. They are not at all weak in this remote and desolate Linzhou territory.
Having found out the truth, Xin Che locked all these people in the woodshed. Jiang Lili told Xin Che that she had sent a pigeon letter to her friend Li Sicong, and that the people from the Linzhou prefecture would come and take these people away early tomorrow morning.
Xin Che didn't really care whether Jiang Lili's words were full of loopholes. He looked at Jiang Lili's frail body and urged her to rest: "It's getting late, take a rest. Today is all thanks to you and Dabao."
"I'll finish the rest."
Jiang Lili yawned and was about to go back to sleep, then suddenly woke up with a start!
"Wait, this is the home of the richest man in Langyan Village, and it's also the base camp of their group."
Jiang Lili's eyes suddenly lit up. "There are so many rooms in the backyard. I wonder what's inside!"
Xin Che looked at Jiang Lili's money-obsessed look and couldn't help but chuckle, "We'll see tomorrow?"
Jiang Lili shook her head: "If the government comes tomorrow, we won't even be able to drink soup!"
As for Li Sicong, an expert in making money by exposing others, he is just plucking the feathers of a passing goose!
