"But as a general, it's hard for you to intervene in these matters. I can handle them well."

Although she saved Nan Guojin once, Ken didn't even think about asking him what he wanted in return at that time.

"Thank you Mr. Nangong for your kindness." Xu Miaomiao thought about Nangong Jin's salute, delivered the things and prepared to leave.

"Ms. Xu!"

Just when she was about to leave, Nangong Jin stopped her.

Xu Miaomiao looked back.

"Remember to find me if you need anything."

Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao smiled, nodded and turned to leave.

After what happened in the morning, not many people came to the store, so Xu Miaomiao closed the store early.

"Miaomiao, will we still be open tomorrow?" Gu Yuanniang looked at Xu Miaomiao and asked.

"Open!" Xu Miaomiao sighed and propped up his body: "If we don't open, don't we tell those people clearly that we are afraid, this store must continue to open!"

"Okay." Gu Yuanniang responded, and a letter escaped from her sleeve: "There is one thing that I have never told you. There is something wrong with the goods we transported from Bai County to the capital."

"What!" Xu Miaomiao jumped up and took the letter from Gu Yuanniang's hand. She recognized the handwriting as that of Village Chief Wang at a glance.

The general content is that the goods were robbed by a group of bandits who suddenly appeared while crossing the mountain.

"That's unreasonable!" After reading the letter, Xu Miaomiao felt indignant: "We haven't always taken the official road, so why did we suddenly take the mountain road?"

"I don't know either." Gu Yuanniang responded: "The previous two batches of goods came faster than the previous ones, but I didn't pay too much attention. I'm afraid it's been a long time since I went through the official channels."

"

Xu Miaomiao pinched the bridge of her nose tiredly, and looked at Gu Yuanniang as she continued to speak: "Tomorrow morning, I will go back to Bai County to see what happened when he fell to the ground. Liu Niang, you open the shop as usual. Remember not to conflict with others when you go there.

, but don’t let others bully you.”

"Yes." Gu Yuanniang nodded: "Don't worry, Miaomiao."

Thinking that both Gu Yuanniang and Song Weiwei were impulsive, Xu Miaomiao told Xu Qingshan about the matter, asking him to write to her as soon as possible if anything happened.

After arranging everything properly, Xu Miaomiao drove the carriage and left.

They usually took the official route to and from the capital, so nothing unusual happened.

When I returned to the village, I found fly ash coming out of the chimney of my empty house.

Xu Miaomiao frowned and walked in curiously.

There was a woman lying inside, wearing only a bellyband on her upper body, leaning on her and smoking a cigarette. When she saw Xu Miaomiao, the woman was a little surprised: "Who are you? Who allowed you to come in?"

Before Xu Miaomiao could speak, another man came in behind him, holding a cooking spoon in his hand: "Who are you? Do you know that it is illegal to break into a private house?"

"So you also know that it is illegal to break into private houses." Xu Miaomiao looked at the group of men and women in front of her and said, "Who are you? How dare you come to our house!"

The woman's eyes flashed many times and she glanced at the man.

The man was about to hit Xu Miaomiao with the rice spoon in his hand, but Xu Miaomiao dodged it with his eyes.

Seeing that Xu Miaomiao was okay, the two took their clothes and prepared to run away. They happened to meet Village Chief Wang who came in to look for Xu Miaomiao.

"Where are you going?"

Village Chief Wang pulled the two people who were in a hurry and asked curiously.

The two of them still wanted to break free, but they couldn't resist the man's strength.

"Don't let them get away."

Xu Miaomiao's voice came from behind, and Village Chief Wang held the two of them tighter and tighter: "Ms. Xu, what's going on?"

"Village Chief, I also want to ask, what happened when I saw these two people falling to the ground in my home as soon as I returned home?"

Village Chief Wang looked at Xu Miaomiao with some confusion: "These two people said they were your friends. Their home was burned down and the key you gave them was lost on the road, so they moved in."

"I don't know them at all." Xu Miaomiao looked at the two people and said.

The village chief who was standing aside was a little shocked when he heard this, and immediately asked someone to send the two people to the government: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Xu, this is all my fault. I didn't ask questions clearly, so this happened.

Come."

"It doesn't matter." Xu Miaomiao waved her hand: "I just need to ask the village chief to help me keep an eye on it later so that no one takes advantage of it."

“Don’t worry, don’t worry.”

"By the way, why did the village chief come to see me this time?" Xu Miaomiao asked.

Village Chief Wang suddenly realized and patted his head: "I heard from others that they saw your carriage and came to find you immediately. It's all because I can't help you, Mrs. Xu."

With that said, Village Chief Wang was about to kneel down to Xu Miaomiao.

Xu Miaomiao immediately stopped the man who was about to kneel down and said, "What are you doing?"

"Ms. Xu, it's all my fault for you." Village Chief Wang said while looking at Xu Miaomiao: "It was my son's idea. He said that taking the mountain road closer would save a lot of money.

There was no problem with two trips, but I don’t know why, but suddenly a group of robbers came down from the mountain and took away all the cotton and pears we harvested.”

Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao pursed her lips into a straight line and looked at the man and said, "Now that this has happened, you should think about how to solve it. Nothing you say in your heart will help."

Xu Miaomiao thought for a moment and looked at the man before continuing to speak: "Have you ever tried to negotiate with those gangsters?"

"I tried." Village Chief Wang said earnestly, "But they refused to return the goods to us. Even if they reported it to the official, it would be useless."

"I understand." Xu Miaomiao nodded: "There are too many things in this batch of goods and they are of great value. We definitely can't just forget about it. But even if they take those goods, they still don't have them. They must want to talk to us.

Let’s talk about a deal.”

"Ms. Xu, what are you doing?"

Village Chief Wang watched Xu Miaomiao unload the carriage from the horse.

"Is that the road to the back mountain?" Xu Miaomiao asked while riding on the horse, looking at the man below.

"Yes." The man nodded: "Ms. Xu, do you want to go alone?"

"right."

"No, that group of thieves is extremely vicious. It's better to find a few young and strong guys to go with them."

"It doesn't matter." Xu Miaomiao shook his head: "It's just Village Chief Wang, if I don't come back, please remember to send a letter to the capital for me."

Before Village Chief Wang agreed, he saw Xu Miaomiao leaving on horseback and had long since disappeared.

In the capital, Erbao could not find Xu Miaomiao all day long. He pouted dissatisfiedly at Gu Yuanniang: "Aunt Gu, where is my mother?"

"Er Bao, be good." Gu Yuanniang touched her head and said, "Mother will be back in two days."
