Chapter 30 Don't talk nonsense in the middle of the night!
Chapter 30 Don’t talk nonsense in the middle of the night!
Hearing the boy's confirmation, the shopkeeper's heart slowly cooled down.
It seems that the boy was really right about this, and those two girls were deceived!
Nowadays, it is unknown what we will encounter wherever we go.
Now it is not only about the reputation of the inn, but also about two living lives.
He could never ignore such a life-threatening matter.
"Let's go to Xiao Mansion first!"
This should be reported directly to the official, but the people in Fengcheng all trust the Xiao Mansion. Secondly, of course, this matter is inherently involved with the Xiao Mansion, so it is better to go directly to General Xiao to make it clear.
Fengcheng is a borderland. In addition to experiencing the pain of wind and sand every spring and autumn, there are also two levels of weather during the day and night.
The heat is unbearable during the day and the nights are bitingly cold.
This extreme climate makes it miserable for people who first come to Fengcheng, and many people have to move out because they cannot bear it.
The shopkeeper and the boy quickly closed the door panel, locked the door, and rushed towards the Xiao family despite the biting cold wind.
The night wind roared, and from time to time it penetrated through the clothes and penetrated the skin. The two held their chests tightly, walking faster and faster, and finally couldn't help but walk and run forward.
Without even bothering to burn incense, I could already see the gate of Xiao Mansion.
Along the way, the shopkeeper and the boy looked down at the traces on the road, but saw no sign of the carriage passing by, and their hearts became even heavier.
"Bang bang bang!"
The red door looks majestic and solemn, and at first the waiter was a little afraid to take pictures.
But when he thought about the two innocent girls who were deceived and whose lives were unknown in front of his eyes, he didn't care so much.
After a while, voices came from the door.
"Hold on."
The door opened with a creak, and the little concierge in a coat looked at the visitor through the gap, warily looking up and down at the young man in coarse linen clothes in front of him.
"Who are you? What's the matter?"
General Xiao was very busy with official duties, and it was common for someone to knock on the door in the middle of the night to report on military matters. However, most of them were military generals, and even though they were wearing plain clothes, they could still look like soldiers.
But this person in front of me...
The concierge turned his eyes and saw the indistinct shopkeeper under the lantern behind the boy.
I thought that these two people must not be from the army, and I wonder if there is anything weird going on.
"Thank you." When the shopkeeper saw someone opening the door, he immediately stepped forward and said in a polite and slightly anxious tone, "I am the money shopkeeper of Qingfeng Building."
He grabbed the boy who wanted to speak and bowed his hands.
"There is really an urgent matter and I have no choice but to come here to bother you."
"There are two girls in my inn who were guests at your residence earlier. It's already passed and I haven't seen them return to the inn yet."
"The girl's family members were very worried and asked me to come over and ask questions."
"I wonder if you could pass the message for us and ask them to go home early?"
After shopkeeper Qian finished speaking, he raised his eyes and carefully observed the concierge's expression.
"girl?"
"What girl?"
The concierge looked confused. He turned to look at the dark yard behind him, then looked back at the crack in the door with a dissatisfied face.
"It's so late at night, don't talk nonsense!"
"Except for the maids and cooks in the little lady's courtyard, our Xiao Mansion is full of wealthy men!"
A gust of cold wind blew by, causing the concierge to break out in a sweat, and also making the shopkeeper and the waiter outside the door break into a cold sweat.
The concierge's words made shopkeeper Qian secretly complain. It seemed that someone had really abducted the two girls.
What's even more frightening is that this kidnapper is brazenly using the name of General Xiao's Mansion.
From this point of view, the other party was not afraid of being wanted by the government at all. They should have done this to deliberately discredit the Xiao family.
Shopkeeper Qian has been running Qingfeng Building for many years, and he knows how many things are buried in the ground in Fengcheng, but this is the first time he has seen someone directly provoking the General's Mansion.
This issue……
Big trouble...
As an old man in Fengcheng, Shopkeeper Qian also admired General Xiao's character in his heart, and it was indeed related to Qingfeng Tower at this time. He didn't want to wade into this muddy water, but he couldn't.
"My boy saw with his own eyes that it was indeed the soldiers of the Xiao Mansion who picked them up." Shopkeeper Qian gritted his teeth and continued, "If we don't see the two girls return tonight, their families will definitely go there tomorrow morning.
County government reporter."
These words sounded like a naked attempt to throw shit at Mansion Xiao's head, and the concierge immediately lost his composure.
"Is there something wrong with your brains?"
"This is the Xiao Mansion, and the old general's reputation is not something you unscrupulous people can slander at will!"
The two incomprehensible guys in front of me were probably suffering from hysteria. They looked at other people's doors in the middle of the night and said some inexplicable nonsense.
"We don't dare to talk nonsense about people who were picked up by Xiao's carriage!"
Shopkeeper Qian knew at a glance that this little concierge had just arrived and could not understand the meaning of his words.
He said: "If their families really go to report to the official tomorrow, the general's face will be disgraced."
He said it so straightforwardly, you should understand it!
The little concierge thought of so many things, he just felt that these two people were full and came to Xiao Mansion to have fun.
He waved his hand impatiently and growled in a low voice.
"roll roll roll!"
"If you want to report it to the official, go and report it!"
"Our Xiao family has never seen any girls, my family only has young ladies!"
Before shopkeeper Qian could say another word, the concierge slammed the door tightly.
Just as I was about to turn around and go back to the greenhouse to take a nap, a small figure jumped from the front yard not far away.
"Little miss?"
The concierge called out in surprise, lowered his head and bowed respectfully.
"You're not resting in the house so late, are you hungry?"
Although Su Qingtian has only been here for three days, all the servants in the Xiao Mansion know that this young lady has a great appetite. After eating and sleeping, she will be happy and fat every day.
In order for his little granddaughter to eat well, General Xiao specially found a cook from outside and placed it in the young lady's yard to prepare food for her at any time.
"Is there a man named Qian at the door who came to ask about the two girls?"
Su Qingtian had just finished eating the fermented glutinous rice dumplings made by the cook, and she was in a good mood every day.
Mmm, so sweet~
The concierge also heard that his young lady had extraordinary powers. At first he thought it was a servant in the courtyard who was deliberately bragging in order to curry favor with his master. Today, when he saw me for the first time today, he was immediately shocked.
Why did this little ancestor stress everything about what just happened?
Amazing!
"Yes, there is a shopkeeper of some sort."
The young concierge was so frightened that he knelt down and said casually, "I don't know if he is the young lady's guest. I thought he came to the Xiao family to cause trouble, so... I just sent him away."
"fine."
Su Qingtian didn't expect the concierge to be so timid. She patted the man's head to comfort him, "Open the door and I'll say a few words to them."
Seeing that the young lady was not angry, the concierge quickly got up and opened the door.
Seeing Su Qingtian's short calves struggling to cross the threshold, she realized what she was doing and hurriedly followed her to protect her.
