Chapter 757: A funny guy

Li Haitang didn't cheat the officials, but this guy was too simple-minded, she thought she had said it clearly enough, but who would have thought that the leader of the officials didn't understand the meaning well, and brought a group of people back to the inn.

"Come out, gather in the backyard!"

As soon as the official leader entered the door, he yelled loudly, "Hurry up, hurry up, it's time for you to get dressed this time, everyone, you must go to the backyard, this time, I will give you time to get dressed!"

"Those little ladies, you don't need to comb your hair and wash your hands. No one will see what you look like in the middle of the night, and you didn't come here to see each other. You are all numb!"

After the officer finished speaking, he asked his subordinates to beat the gongs and drums. Those who were going to sleep were all awakened by the sound.

The man rubbed his eyes, ran out in a panic, and asked cautiously, "Master, why are you back? Haven't we searched the inn already?"

He wondered if the shopkeeper had offended the officials, otherwise it would be impossible for him to come twice in the middle of the night to find trouble.

The shopkeeper scolded the shopkeeper in his heart, he was stingy, and he didn't know how to be a human being. The shopkeeper was comfortable at home, and they wandered around. In the end, the damaged items in the inn had to be credited to them. What a bad luck!

"Did you see, this madam has lost her precious jade pendant, and everyone in your inn is suspected, so, madam requests, come out, we want to search!"

After the official messenger finished speaking, he thought he had made a perfect excuse.

Li Haitang: ...

She planned to follow the official to find someone in every room, so as not to disturb the downstairs. Unexpectedly, the official was self-righteous, perfectly interpreting what a pig teammate is, and by the way, it brought a lot of hatred for her.

The buddy stared at Li Haitang with small eyes like mung beans, and then reluctantly responded.

The jade pendant is lost, do you have to mobilize people to pull everyone out? Maybe it was thrown outside, and someone must be blamed.

The buddy's impression of Li Haitang fell to freezing point in an instant. He reckoned that she must have given the officer a favor, otherwise the officer would have been idle and had nothing to do, leaving the bandits behind and killing them.

"Come out, come out, whoever doesn't come out is guilty!"

The official didn't realize how hateful his behavior was, so he said to himself, "Can you afford the jade pendant worth ten thousand taels of silver?"

After finishing speaking, he put his hands on his hips, looked up to the sky and laughed.

Li Haitang: ...

Is this man sick? If she was asked to find a word to describe the official difference, only the word "funny" was the most suitable.

There were more than a dozen official servants left, more excited than beaten chicken blood, and yelled together with the little boss, making people gather in the open space.

After a while, many people came out, complaining.

"What, we all live in Tongpu, and we can't even go upstairs, so how can we steal things?"

"That is, we are poor, but we have backbone!"

Hearing that it was Li Haitang who lost the jade pendant, everyone looked at her very unfriendly, and being treated as a suspect made everyone upset.

Li Haitang was speechless and choked, "It's very good, another wave of hatred has been drawn, sure enough, it's hard to be a good person!"

After a while, the dwarf bandit next door also came out and looked at several of them. Everyone pretended not to know each other and stood obediently in a row.

"I remember there are still a few female relatives, where are they?"

The head of the official station took the registration given by the buddy, carefully checked the number of people, and found that there were two missing people, one woman and one girl.

"What are you doing? Does it take a quarter of an hour to get dressed? Do you think you are Mrs. Gao Ming?"

Officials don't let anyone go, because bandits are not necessarily men, and when a woman becomes ruthless, none of the ten men can compare.

"I'm coming!"

A voice came, and then, a woman supported the girl, and the two of them walked down the second floor slowly like a master-servant relationship.

Li Haitang looked at the girl, only to see that there was a look of sadness in her eyes, and she was very sick, as if she had been hollowed out.

"The emerald pendant worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, you take it as you..."

After the mother-in-law came down, she asked why. She glanced at Li Haitang and was very annoyed. She asked for tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy an accessory. What kind of family did she think she was?

She was about to continue, but was stopped by the girl next to her, who nodded apologetically at Li Haitang.

It's okay to be a little resentful when tormenting others at night, but the girl's eyes are clear and her expression is open, and a small gesture makes Li Haitang very fond of her.

The head of the bureaucracy laughed twice, and then, starting from the last row, Li Haitang followed him for a cutscene.

I don't know if I don't leave, I'm startled when I leave, there are many people in the shop, and the people are messy, once she walked, at least five people were stained with blood.

One of them was a bit suspicious because his arm was wrapped with a bandage. Li Haitang was not sure if this person had any connection with bandits.

"Miss guest officer, are you sure that the jade pendant was thrown in our shop?"

The clerk's face was worried, and if he didn't say anything else, he would ask for ten thousand taels of silver, and he was not afraid that the wind would flash his tongue. What if he insisted that he had something to do with the inn, how about a fairy dance?

Especially seeing that Li Haitang and the official chap seemed to know each other, he became more and more suspicious.

The official body search was very perfunctory, Li Haitang walked around, and when she met a woman, she did it herself, and at the end, she even apologized to the other party.

Perhaps because of her humble attitude, the face of the person who was cursing just now has improved a lot.

After walking all the way down, Li Haitang was very shocked. No one thought that there were seven or eight bandits hiding in an ordinary small inn!

His wife is looking for someone, Xiao Lingchuan is also tense to prevent anyone from moving, he will rescue them as soon as possible!

Fortunately, the other party never expected that Li Haitang could use this method to distinguish, so there was no movement.

However, it would be very bad if there are pig teammates around.

After hearing what Li Haitang had said, the officer immediately shouted, the third from the left in the front row, the second from the right in the back row, three, four, and...

He was giving orders, but the bandits were surprised. How did they find out? Because they were dressed as traveling merchants and dispersed again, pretending that they didn't know each other!

Everyone looked at each other, then took out the dagger hidden on their bodies, and made a quick circle. One of them was quick, picked up the sick girl, and put the dagger directly on her neck.

"Miss!"

The mother-in-law was shocked, and then she seemed to understand, her legs softened, she plopped, and fell to her knees.

The rest were quick to move and scattered, so the bandits only caught one unlucky one.

"Everyone back off, they are bandits!"

Basically needless to say anything, the bandits huddled together and took their seats, while the injured suspect stared blankly at everything in front of him, not knowing what to do.

"And this one, grab it first and talk about it later." Li Haitang pointed to the one with bandages on his hands, and he must not let one go, anyway, people are offended, so check it out before we talk about it.
